E

ast Valley voters will have their last chance on Tuesday to help decide the outcome of a number of municipal and legislative races – or at least determine who gets to the final round of the 2018 campaign season in November.

Competitive council races await a resolution in Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert as well as in almost all East Valley legislative districts.

Some or all council races could be resolved on Tuesday. Outcomes in the legislative primaries either will set the stage for the fall

campaign or determine who goes to the State Capitol in January.

In Mesa, there are races for three of the four seats up for election. Six candidates are facing off for three seats on the Chandler City Council while seven candidates are duking it out for four seats on Gilbert Town Council.

On the legislative level, competitive races

exist in primaries for the State House, State Senate or both in almost all East Valley districts.

Of course, voters also will be deciding key races for both parties for governor, U.S. Senate and a handful of other state offices.

Final approval probably won’t come until October, at the earliest. But it would put the seal of city approval on a total makeover of the northwest corner of Alma School Road and Southern Avenue.

The 16-acre tract, formerly the Fiesta Village shopping center, has moldered behind chain-link fences for more than a decade, a victim both of shoppers’ changing tastes and of the Great Recession, which decimated construction projects throughout the Southeast Valley.

Introduction of an ordinance to rezone the property appeared on the Aug. 20 council agenda, but was pushed back a few weeks to Oct. 1. Typically, the council approves ordinances two weeks after introduction.

Regional medical center leads skin cancer fight

heldon Riggs said his right forearm started itching one day and continued to do so the next morning when he woke up.

He scratched and felt a sharp nerve pain shoot up his arm. Sensing something was not right, he called his doctor who told him to come for a check-up.

Riggs’ days out in the sun working on his family’s crop farm in Chandler and two summers as a lifeguard for Big Surf in Tempe caught up with the 35-year-old.

He became is one of the 1,880 new melanoma cases estimated for Arizona this year, according to the American Cancer Society. Of the top 10 cancers in the state, melanoma ranks No. 6.

“I was always outdoors but I wore longsleeve shirts and do what I can,” Riggs said. “I was lucky.”

He is now cancer-free, said Dr. Mark Gimbel of Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Gilbert, who excised the melanoma from Riggs’ forearm and removed a

■ Wear a hat with a two to threeinch brim all the way around to shield areas of the head and neck that are often exposed to intense sun.

■ Use sunscreen and lip balm with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater every day, regardless of whether the sun is shining; reapply frequently to maximize efficacy.

Because children often spend more time outdoors, extra precautions should be taken.

■ Wear sunglasses that wrap around the sides of the face and have at least 99 percent UV absorption to protect the eyes and surrounding skin.

The nonprofit foundation says one person dies of melanoma every hour and from 2008-2018, the number of new melanoma cases diagnosed annually has increased by 53 percent.

Because Arizona is close to the sun and close to the equator, high altitude and low latitude means less atmospheric protection from the sun’s damaging rays, according to the University of Arizona Cancer Center. The year-round warm climate also means more time outdoors with less clothing – putting Arizona residents at a high risk of skin cancer.

Melanoma is typically an affliction of older adults after lifelong sun exposure but Gimbel is seeing younger patients with it from being out in the sun or using tanning beds.

“I’m seeing teens and people in their 20s,” he said.

Ninety to 95 percent of melanoma cases are due to ultraviolet rays from the sun, which destroys skin cells, the doctor added.

Although Riggs was outdoors a lot, he had other risk factors going for him.

He, like his other siblings, has a fair complexion, blond hair and blue eyes, said mom Ahtanya Riggs, who added her husband had a melanoma removed from his back.

The Skin Cancer Foundation said one in every 10 patients diagnosed with the cancer has a family member with a history of melanoma.

And the risk of melanoma is much higher for whites than for blacks, with whites with red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, or fair skin that freckles or burns easily at increased risk, according to the American Cancer Society.

Riggs also mentioned he got sunburnt and developed blisters when he was 8 years old, which increased his risk for developing melanoma, Gimbel said.

Another tell-tale sign of a melanoma that Riggs ignored for a year was a mole on his arm that changed in shape and color. He also had a melanoma removed from his back years about a decade earlier.

Every time Riggs becomes exposed to the sun’s rays means his risk for developing a melanoma continues to increase, Gimbel said.

To minimize the risk, he should, for instance, stay out of the sun’s reaches between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the UV rays are the strongest, Gimbel said.

“Don’t be afraid of the sun but be sensible,” he said.

ELECTIONS

from page 1

under the elections tab.

Here’s a run-down on city races in the East Valley: Mesa City Council Races exist in three of the four council districts up for election, with District 6, covering Southeast Mesa, already in the bag for incumbent Kevin Thompson, who has no opponent in his bid for a second term. He is a mechanical engineer who works for Southwest Gas Corp., a background he considers helpful in guiding development in his part of the city.

The other three districts could offer at least a small indication of how voters feel about City Council’s decision to enter into an agreement with ASU for creation of a downtown campus.

The lone opponent of that agreement, Councilman Jeremy Whitaker, vowed to work for the defeat of those incumbents facing primary election opponents. They include Francisco Heredia in District 3 and David Luna in District 5.

Normally, District 3 would not be on the ballot this year, but a special election

was called to complete the term of Ryan Winkle, who won the seat in 2016 only to be expelled from the City Council after a drunk-driving conviction. The winner this year’s election will serve a two-year term.

Heredia, who was appointed by the council to fill the seat until the election, faces challengers Christopher Brown, Stephen Denison, Marc Lavender and Mark Yarbrough.

A new face on the Council from District 4 is assured because Christopher Glover is term-limited after eight years. In that district, representing the west-central part of the city, four candidates – Jake Brown, Jen Duff, David Lane and Robert Scantlebury are squaring off.

In northeast Mesa, District 5 incumbent David Luna faces opposition from Verl Farnsworth in his bid for a second term.

mary fight. Former Councilman Kevin Hartke, a pastor, will be the next mayor, succeeding termed-out Jay Tibshraeny because no one else filed to run.

But incumbent council members Rene Lopez and Terry Roe are among six candidates fighting for four seats. The others are William Crawford, a 24-year employee of the Maricopa Community College District and former vice president of Chandler-Gilbert Community College; Matt Eberle, a Chandler resident since 2008 with a deep business background; Aaron Harris Sr., a professional educator; and Matt Orlando, a retired defense industry employee who is seeking a return to Council after serving 1990-98 and 2004-13.

Voters also must decide if Chandler will remain a home-rule city with the option of setting its own spending rather than meet state spending caps that officials say would force a 21-percent cut in city services.

Gilbert Three incumbents – Vice Mayor Brigette Peterson, Eddie Cook and Jordan Ray – are among the seven candidates fighting for four seats on the Town Council.

The other four are Barbara Guy, Aimee Rigler, Jason Cvancara and James Candland.

Rigler added some controversy during the campaign when she claimed that she was being victimized by vandals who tore up or defaced her political signs and made derogatory sexist comments on social media. Cvanacara also said he saw “dirty politics” in the campaign, though he did not elaborate.

Meanwhile, voters also have to cast a “yes” or “no” vote on the sale of some land that the town initially bought for a public safety training center. Officials have identified a new location for the center and need voter approval to sell the 36.66-acre parcel, which was originally purchased for $14,510,739.

The training center itself will be on the November ballot, where voters must weigh in on a proposed $65.3-million bond issue.

f weighing in on key statewide and city elections isn’t enough, East Valley voters on Tuesday will be settling some competitive intra-party struggles for nominations in most legislative districts in the region.

The battling is fiercest among Republicans, where incumbents face challengers for a spot on the November ballot.

These races are critical in some cases because Republican registration in some of these districts is so much higher than the Democrats’ that the winners this week likely can plan on coasting to another term.

The wild card in that, however, is whether Democratic candidates can court enough independents over some of the more controversial statewide issues, particularly funding for public education.

Voters in Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert all have choices if they’re voting in Republican primaries in these districts, though Democrats have decisions to make in a couple of them.

Voters are nominating two candidates for the House and one for the Senate in

In the State Senate race in LD12, which covers most of Gilbert, incumbent Sen. Eddie Farnsworth faces a challenge from Jimmy Lindblom for the right to face Democrat Elizabeth Brown in the fall.

In the State House, both major parties have contests. Incumbent representatives Travis Grantham and Warren Petersen are competing with Blake Sacha and Nick Myers for the Republican nominations while Democrats must resolve three-way race for two spots among Joe Bisaccia, D.J. Rothans and Lynsey Robinson.

LD16

In this district, which covers east Mesa, incumbent Sen. David Farnsworth is facing a challenge from San Tan Valley Realtor Michael Hernandez while Democrat Benjamin Carmitchel of Apache Junction can breathe easy till the fall campaign starts.

In the House, five Republicans are tussling for two nominations. They include incumbent Rep. Kelly Townsend, John Fillmore, Lisa Godzich, Bonnie Hick-

man, Stephen Kridler and Tara Phelps.

Only one Democrat is running.

LD17

LD17 is one of the more interesting political landscapes because it involves a powerful legislator and his mother – though they’re not facing each other.

In the Senate, House Speaker J.D. Mesnard has clear sailing into the fall campaign, when he will be battling with Chandler Democrat Steve Weichert to replace retiring Sen. Steve Yarbrough.

Because Mesnard is termed out of his House seat, his mother, former Chandler Councillman Nora Ellen, is trying to replace him in a three-way battle with incumbent Jeff Weninger and Julie Willoughby.

The two winners will be facing only one Democrat in the fall.

LD 18

In a district that includes Ahwatukee and parts of Chandler, Tempe and Mesa, the Senate race already is set. It’s a rematch of the 2016 contest between incumbent Democrat Sean Bowie and commercial airline pilot Frank Schmuck.

The real battle is in both Republican

and Democratic camps where incumbents face challenges.

Republican incumbent Jill Norgaard is facing off with onetime Tempe legislator Greg Patterson, Chandler businesswoman Farhana Shifa and Don Hawker of Tempe.

Democratic incumbent Mitzi Epstein also faces a contest against Jennifer Jermaine, a self-employed Chandler consultant to nonprofits and LaDawn Stuben, a Chandler resident who is executive baker at the Liberty Market in Gilbert.

LD 25

There is no primary for the Senate seat in this district, which covers west Mesa.

A Republican primary contest for Senate race dissolved early this summer after incumbent Sen. Bob Worsley abruptly withdrew and endorsed his challenger, Tyler Pace, who will take on Democrat Kathy Mohr-Almeida in the fall.

Incumbent Republicans Russell Bowers and Michelle Udall face a challenge from Marlene Hinton while only one Democrat filed for the primary.

Portable Oxygen For The Way You Want to Live The ALL-NEW

Chandler equips public buildings with life-saving specialized medical kits Dignity Health Chandler Regional Medical Center and Chandler Fire Department have joined forces to provide 65 specialized emergency medical kits in approximately 35 Chandler municipal buildings.

This initiative, between Chandler Regional’s Level 1 Trauma Center and the Chandler Fire Department, was inspired by the national “Stop the Bleed” campaign, a movement to bring attention to the highest cause of preventable trauma deaths: bleeding.

“Nearly 20 percent of people who die from traumatic injuries could have lived had they had access to emergency bleeding control,” said Dr. Charles Hu, director of trauma services at Chandler Regional.

The bleeding-control kits are easily accessible inside automated external defibrillator unit boxes at the 35 Chandler buildings in case of emergency. Additionally, Chandler Fire and Chandler Regional’s trauma team have trained more than 300 city employees and more than 120 high school students on how to treat a bleeding injury using these kits.

The hospital and Chandler Fire Department hope that by providing easy, public access to medical supplies that bystanders can step in after an accident and help prevent excessive bleeding while waiting for first responders to arrive.

Each kit includes basic medical supplies such as tourniquets and dressings that can be used to stop bleeding on the scene.

The special kits are meant to be easily accessible and easy to use.

ASU sorting out TechShop tool owners

BY PARKER SHEA Tribune Contributor

A

rizona State University is attempting to determine ownership of expensive equipment in the shuttered TechShop in downtown Chandler, but whether the university plans to reopen a maker facility in the space is unclear.

TechShop unexpectedly closed in November when its San Jose, Calif.-based parent company, TechShop Inc., filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

“Our hope and goal is to be a resource for the greater Chandler community in addition to the resource that was envisioned for ASU courses, for students and for faculty,” said Ji Mi Choi, associate vice president of ASU’s Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development.

TechShop became a hub for the local Chandler maker community by offering members space and equipment to build their do-it-yourself projects. Chandler owns the space and leases it to ASU, which, in turn, sub-leased it to TechShop.

Choi said ASU is closely monitoring TechShop’s bankruptcy case to resolve ownership of the equipment.

Most of that equipment, both hightech and low-tech tools for small projects, has been held behind the former TechShop’s locked doors since the business

The heyday lasted less than two decades.

By the turn of the century, bigger and newer retail centers were pulling shoppers away – so much so that even the vaunted Fiesta Mall, just south of Fiesta Village, also spun into fatal decline.

Mesa sparred for years with Fiesta Village’s owner, the W.M. Grace Development Co., over building code violations and conflicting visions for the property.

At one point, the company was considering a Lowe’s home improvement store for the site.

The vision now on the table calls for four commercial buildings, including two drive-throughs, that will front the main streets. An apartment complex with 220 units, mostly in three-story buildings, will sit north and west of the commercial pads.

“Overall, I think it’s a step in the right direction,” said city Councilman Francisco Heredia, who represents southwest Mesa.

Though Heredia admitted “I’m not sure

Economic Development Director Micah Miranda said.

In the meantime, former TechShop members and East Valley maker enthusiasts have set up camp at Gangplank Chandler, which offered some space for the determined locals.

David Kern, a (Kimberly Carrillo/Tribune Staff Photographer) Chandler resident, TechShop unexpectedly closed last November after its parent company, said that he hopes which subleases the downtown Chandler space from Arizona State University, went bankrupt. to see another maker space operating at went bankrupt. the TechShop location, whether through Ownership of the equipment is divided ASU or a partnership. among the many trustees in the bankKern said that since the TechShop cloruptcy.

Further, he said, redevelopment often is an ongoing process and property uses can evolve over time.

Specifically, Heredia said, the city has pushed back on the two drive-throughs, noting that the immediate vicinity already has a plethora of such facilities.

But documents submitted to to the city by the Grace company indicate that current plans could change.

“The general commercial uses may consist of retail shops, eateries, offices, and other service-oriented uses,” the company said. “The architectural design and the uses of the four pads or buildings will be determined during the future site plan review process.”

Heredia also said he hopes Grace elevates the quality of the proposed apartments, which will add to the rental stock in one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the region. The halfsquare-mile bounded by Southern, Alma School, Dobson Road and Eighth Ave-

nue already is home to at least a dozen large apartment complexes.

A spokesman for the Grace company did not respond to a request for comment.

Fiesta Village was among several retail centers in the neighborhood that collapsed over the past 15 years. Some have revived with private investment, and others, such as one at Longmore and Southern Avenue, were completely remade as employment centers.

The city has sunk tens of millions of public dollars into the district, most notably with Southern Avenue streetscapes extending to the Tempe border and a police substation. Heredia said jobs are beginning to flow back into the neighborhood, and that the Bank of America tower, kitty-corner from Fiesta Village, is now 75 percent leased.

The neighborhood’s employment rebound has one notable exception – Fiesta Mall.

The mall, which once was the East Valley’s premier retail showcase, closed this year and Heredia said groups that own the property have not agreed on what to do with it.

Chandler teen pianist to perform in international competition

Thirteen-year old pianist Kylie Shea Smith of Chandler, a student at East Valley Yamaha Music, will perform at the 47th annual Yamaha International Junior Original Concert on Wednesday, Aug. 29, at Yamaha Hall in Tokyo.

International musicians, ranging from 8 to 15, will showcase new compositions in a variety of settings, from piano solos to chamber and larger ensembles.

Kylie was the lone U.S. representative selected to the prestigious concert, which includes 11 other artists chosen from around the world. Other participants this year come from China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia and Mexico. She also was selected in 2014.

Kylie will perform “In Memory of Rocky,” a musical ode to the memory of her godparents’ dog.

The composition is written for piano and euphonium. Her euphoniumist will be Brian C. Wilson of Chandler.

“In my composition, I tried to capture the prominent moments of Rocky’s life, including when he was a puppy, when he got sick and his eventual passing,” Kylie said.

Kylie started learning piano at East Valley Yamaha Music School just before she turned 4.

Gilbert dad invents device to prevent drowning August is Drowning Impact Awareness Month, but one Gilbert dad is focused on drowning prevention all year, hoping that his new invention will save lives.

Lee Kambar is nearing completion of the prototype of Morningstar SOS, a drowning-prevention device that sits in a swimming pool with motion-sensing cameras.

It sends alerts if the pool barrier is breached and if someone enters the water.

Kambar hopes to prevent tragedies and protect loved ones all over the country.

Kambar’s invention is designed to augment but not replace the ABC’s of Water Safety: To spread awareness about the impact of drowning, Gilbert officials encourage residents to engage in discussions and programs about water safety.

With no police powers, Arizona Rangers still protect and serve

BY CECILIA CHAN Tribune Staff Writer

W

hile Arizona was a territory, a company of men rode its untamed terrain on horseback, chasing down rustlers, murderers and other scofflaws.

The Arizona Rangers combated lawlessness for nearly eighty years until the Legislature disbanded it in 1909 – three years before the territory came into the Union as the 48th state.

“They are very closely tied to the culture and history of the state,” said Anthony Ramirez, a member of the Arizona Rangers, which was re-formed in 1957 by a few of the original surviving members. “It was founded to clean up the Arizona territory in preparation for statehood. Arizona is very much a state because of the Arizona Rangers.”

Today’s Arizona Rangers is an all-volunteer citizen auxiliary of men and women who wear a uniform and a badge and carry a gun. Its mission under Arizona Revised Statute 41-4201 is to provide ad-

But, Ramirez pointed out, “a police officer isn’t going to come to you and say, ‘hey, come help us.’

But Arizona Rangers are men and women who are trained for that.”

Initial training is a basic 24-hour academy, followed by an hour or two hours of training monthly, according to Hugh Fox, a member of the Ranger’s East Valley Company.

There are 19 companies located throughout Arizona, with a membership roster numbering (Special to the Tribune) around 300. East Valley Though they have no arrest powers, Arizona Rangers are sworn to uphold the law and help localpolice in any way requested of them. Company is one of the larger posts with 19 acditional manpower at the request of any tive members. law enforcement authority.

Rangers are certified to carry collapsible Rangers have no law enforcement or batons and OC spray, and must meet Ariinvestigative power and have no more au- zona Peace Officer Standards and Training thority than a resident of Arizona.

Board qualification standards in firearms.

They also receive Arizona POST training in handcuffing and defensive tactics, according to Fox, a 28-year retired New Jersey cop who joined the Rangers in January 2017.

“It was a way for me to incorporate helping the community with doing something associated with law-enforcement-support activity,” he said.

All rangers must first undergo a state and national background checks and investigation and hold a current Arizona Concealed Weapon Permit. They also must be 21 or older and live in Arizona at least six months out of the year.

Joining the Rangers costs not only time but money.

Rangers pay for their own uniform and equipment, including such as duty belt, body armor, weapons and ammunition – which, altogether, can average $2,500, Ramirez said.

Many rangers have previous law enforcement or military experience but they come from all walks of life, Fox said.

Although rangers have helped law enforcement agencies with services such as

Native Mesa author’s new book is out of this world

BY ALLY RICHMOND Tribune Contributor

M

esa native and author Sharon Konerza pens books for young readers that are out of this world.

Writing under a pen name, SB White, Konerza has written a new novel, “The Nebula Chronicles: Volume I,” about a young girl who discovers that she is not the Earth-bound human she once thought but actually destined to become a protector at the Nebula Academy where she meets a host of people just like her.

This coming-of-age tale is a perfect summer book for young readers and adults, said Konerza, an alumna of Mesa High School, Maricopa Community College and the University of Phoenix.

“I’ve always loved to read, and the desire to pen a story started when my children were in school. I submitted a manuscript and received positive comments on it. This encouraged me to continue,” said Konerza.

Most of her books have embraced a

science fiction theme. Though she has written multiple short stories, using a pen name because it is her maiden name and because she thought it would be fun to write under it.

“The Nebula Chronicles: Volume I” is Konerza’s fourth self-published book, which she worked on through a company called AuthorHouse.

“Working with AuthorHouse has been a journey, and the first book was a learning experience. I was very satisfied after the first book and have continued to work with them. To self-publish, and add in marketing, it can become costly. That is something to consider,” said Konerza.

Self-publishing allows Konerza to set her own deadlines. From her initial ideas to sending the manuscript to the publisher, it takes Konerza about six months to write her books.

A mother and grandmother, Konerza is an advocate for early childhood literacy and her mission is to encourage youth to read, write, and be creative.

“Encourage reading at a young age and read with kids. Good reading skills is a basic foundation for writing,” said Konerza.

Konerza’s books are meant to appeal to these young readers who are between beginner chapter books and young adult novels.

“I was told my books are for the ‘coming of age’ reader. When I wrote ‘The Twins of Fairland,’ it was a request from my 11-year-old granddaughter. She was not ready for some of the young adult books that are for a more adult reader because of the language, sex and violence. I feel my books are a good transition for the younger reader, and they are a fun age to write for,” she said.

Konerza also maintains a website with free stories for children as well as a platform for kids to send in stories they’ve written themselves.

“It’s fun to think of a plot and characters, and then to have them come to life,” said Konerza.

Now that she is retired after working 30 years work in the tech field, Konerza has

more time to focus on her family and her writing.

She shares her love of writing with her family, and has even co-published books – including “The Twins of Fairland” and “The Special Ones” – with her granddaughter.

Konerza believes that reading never goes out of style.

“The best way to get kids interested in reading is through stories that they can relate to and become one with the characters. I try to keep them fun, exciting, and not preachy,” she said.

For kids looking to be better writers, Konerza offers some advice: “Continue to write and read. Learn from other writers and how they craft their stories. Take writing classes, both creative and professional.

Read a lot and keep on writing. Make sure to stay true to yourself.”

“The Nebula Chronicles: Volume I” is available on Amazon as Konerza continues to work on the sequel.

foot patrols, bailiff duty, prisoner transport and traffic control, most of what the East Valley Company does nowadays is provide security detail. That includes helping the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department with the annual County Thunder concert event outside of Florence.

“We help out youth organizations like Sunshine Acres, a group home for kids,” Fox said. “We provide security for them annually but other areas we provide security is at MADD classes. We do that on an almost weekly basis. And some of the food banks need security. One of them is not in the best area.”

Because the East Valley Company is located in metropolitan Phoenix, which is populated by large law-enforcement agencies, ranger services are rarely requested.

“Arizona Rangers here in Maricopa County area do not get utilized by law enforcement as much as I think they should,” Ramirez said. “The reason, in my opinion, is they have enough manpower.”

Many Valley agencies have their own volunteer help such as the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Posse and the Phoenix Police Reserve force.

Tucson Police has called upon the Rang-

“The assistance they provide is limited “These guys volunteering to help law but it’s a welcome help for us,” the officer enforcement in the state are just in as said. much risk,” Ramirez said. “People think It’s in the smaller communities such as these men who volunteer are crazy but it’s Bisbee, Tombstone, Benson, Sedona and a calling. They do it to help the state.”

“One of my clients called me,” he recalled. “And said, ‘hey, we got an unusual case. This guy said he was burglarized and they took things out of his house but I’m confused because he said he had body armor, a duty belt and all this law-enforcement-related equipment. We think police officers are usually given that by the department and we don’t think we have to pay for it.’ And as a former cop, I agreed.”

So, Ramirez met with the man to find out what was going on with the insurance claim.

“I asked him, ‘if you got body armor and a gun and a duty belt, are you police?’” he said.

The man responded he was the captain of the Arizona Rangers’ East Valley Company and all the stolen equipment came out of his own pocket. After learning more about the Rangers, Ramirez told the man, “Where is the application? Sign me up.”

Ramirez volunteers from 20 to 24 hours a month with the Rangers.

“I do criminal defense, personal injury and civil rights,” he said. “It’s a very fine line and obviously even though I defend people accused of a crime, I support law enforcement. It’s key to keeping my family safe.”

Apple’s data center in east Mesa a huge boon to state

BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

A

pple’s newly completed Arizona Data and Global Command Center puts Mesa on the national business map – much like how the Chicago Cubs put Mesa on the national sports map.

Mesa Mayor John Giles, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Apple Vice President Kristina Raspe all lauded the center on Signal Butte Road in remarks during a grand opening ceremony recently.

The ceremony marks three years of work, completed in stages, that started in 2015.

Apple said the center represents a $2 billion investment in Mesa, with 150 Apple employees at the center and 1,100 Apple employees in Arizona.

“When I am at national events, I say we are the home of Apple and Boeing and other companies,’’ Giles said. “Having brands like Apple in your city opens a lot of doors.”

“They could have built this facility anywhere and they picked Mesa,’’ Giles said.

The facility includes a large room with several long aisles full of hundreds of serv-

(Kimberly Carrillo/Tribune Staff Photographer)

Aisles full of hundreds of servers are inside Apple’s new data center in east Mesa, the largest of the company’s facilities in Arizona and one of several data centers it maintains in three states.

ers that support various Apple products.

The Mesa facility is Apple’s largest in Arizona and one of several data centers the company has located in California, Oregon and North Carolina.

“Someone in China buys a song and a

light bulb goes off’’ in the Mesa facility, Giles said.

Apple said it supports 30,000 jobs in Arizona, including 28,000 connected to the App Store and the IOS ecosystem.

Despite the failure of its subsidiary, GT

Advanced Technology, which closed in bankruptcy, Apple kept its commitment to Mesa by building an even larger facility, lured by tax incentives created by the state in 2013.

“We built something completely different than we originally planned,’’ Raspe said.

“This command center is the hub of our operations,’’ she said. “Apple is one of the most dominant and powerful job creators in the country.’’

She said the data center operates on 100 percent renewable energy provided by Salt River Project and the Bonnybrooke solar array.

“We are especially proud of our work protecting the environment,’’ Raspe said.

Ducey noted that Apple is considered the world’s first trillion-dollar company, making its presence in Arizona especially vital.

“The economy in Arizona is booming and so is the tech economy,’’ he said.

Bill Jabjiniak, Mesa’s economic development director, said Apple creates a great deal of cachet for Mesa in the business world. He said a large corporation such as Apple tends to lure other companies that want to be part of Apple’s supply chain.

Mobile urgi-care unit makes house calls in Gilbert

BY MELODY BIRKETT Tribune Contributor

D

ispatchHealth is bringing back house calls to Gilbert.

The new business makes it possible to avoid the emergency room or urgent care in some instances.

People in need of less-serious emergency care can go online or call and an emergency medical technician will be dispatched to their home within one hour on average.

Once the company confirms the patient’s name and location and gets information about the illness or injury and insurance information, “we confirm you’re a good candidate for us to treat and we arrive at your home in a DispatchHealth vehicle with both a nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant and an EMT,” said company spokeswoman Andrea Pearson.

The medical team is able to treat patients 3 months old and up for maladies such as

vomiting and dehydration, urinary tract infections and the flu, provide stitches or sutures, treat simple fractures and address about 60 percent of what can be done in an emergency room, Pearson said.

“When we onboard a patient we get the name of their primary care provider,” said Pearson. “Our team is on-site with the patient for an average of about 45 minutes, and provides complete documentation of that patient’s visit back to that primary care provider.”

“It’s something those physicians really appreciate – having very thorough documentation. That’s very different than what you’ll find when you visit an urgent care or an ER.” Seniors especially find the service useful “It’s really a huge benefit to be able to stay put,” Pearson said. “For a lot of people who live in senior communities or even in assisted living communities, you find the standard of care is sometimes an

ambulance ride to and from the hospital.

“Not only is it very expensive but it’s really not very comfortable. It can be very disorienting and it can actually take a much longer time for someone to recover when you go through that experience.”

The service is also handy for parents.

“It’s much more convenient for a parent when they have another child or two at home to be able to stay put and not take three children to a busy urgent care or ER where you’re going to spend a lot of time,” Pearson said.

The service was designed by a 20-year emergency room physician who saw a lot of patients coming in and out of the ER and treated in a high-cost setting for things they were probably better off being treated for at home.

DispatchHealth has no physical office.

All medical personnel are board certified in emergency medicine and have experience working in an ER.

The medical team is backed by an oncall ER physician. The service is available in the East Valley from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year.

“If they get onsite and they see something that requires a consultation with a physician, they can call, video call or conference that physician in,” said Pearson.

“And likewise, if it’s a complicated health issue, sometimes the physician on call will reach out to the primary care provider of the patient we’re treating to just make sure we’re communicating well with that practice and understanding what the specific needs of that patient might be.”

DispatchHealth takes most commercial insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid.

The EMT will then estimate the cost and copay. If someone is uninsured, DispatchHealth will take a $275 cash fee. The company claims its service is 85 percent lower than that same visit in the ER. Information: dispatchhealth.com.

‘The In Between Times’ leave him feeling outside

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

F

or all the many reasons life feels so tricky in 2018 – hideous partisan politics, the changing divide between genders, the inexplicable popularity of the Kardashians – one reason has stood out to me of late.

We’re living through a confusing time period that I’ve come to call “The In Between Times.”

That would be the space between “back in the day” and some presumably far better tomorrow.

Life during The In Between Times generates a ton of confusion. Like Wednesday, when I arrived at a buddy’s house and spied a thick sheath of bound yellow paper littering his driveway. It was soggy to the touch from the monsoon. Nonetheless, I carried the waterlogged item to his front door. Our comedy routine went on a full

five minutes.

“What is this thing?” I asked.

“It says ‘Yellow Pages,” was his answer.

“Huh. You think Amazon screwed up and it’s for someone else?”

Me: “Maybe a drone dropped it?”

Then we made the ritual annual walk to the recycling bin and gave the Yellow Pages a proper burial.

The In Between Times – when some businesses remain willing to buy ads in the Yellow Pages, so someone continues to print virtually worthless phone books – provides many such confusing moments. Last week, for example, I told a freelance designer I would mail her a check that afternoon.

This Millenial’s response?

“You know, I actually don’t take checks now. I do PayPal, Cash app or Zelle.

Whichever works best for you.”

You know what would work best for me?

If accepted methods of exchanging currency that have been in use for decades wouldn’t go out of style before my very eyes.

Pretty soon, I’m going to make what nowadays has become known as a “dad” joke – “The check is in the mail!” – only to be greeted by the blank stares and slack jaws that have become staple expressions during he In Between Times.

I’m sure that was the look they wore at the corporate headquarters of Border’s Books and Blockbuster Video, at precisely the moment the digital future kicked those companies in the organizational private parts.

That’s The In Between Times for you: You do things one way for 10 or 20 years. Then, all of a sudden, 99 percent of the world is doing that thing a better way and you’re the last to know. Though not all the time.

A few weeks ago, my doctor’s office asked me to sign a document and fax it to them.

Me: “Uhh, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but it’s not 1999. I don’t have a fax machine. It’s in the trash next to the Betamax and the telephone answering machine.

How about I sign this thing digitally and email it back?”

Thereafter, I was treated to a long lecture about end-to-end email encryption and HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. I’ll spare you the gory details. Basically, it’s way tougher for some 14-year-old in Moscow to hack your podiatrist’s fax machine than it would be to compromise an email account.

Which I guess someone should have told Hillary Clinton back in like 2016.

Anyway, such is life during The In Between Times.

One day, the future will arrive, with all its glorious improvements on modern life.

Your GPS won’t malfunction anymore and guide you into the labyrinth of dead ends around Sky Harbor Airport. Siri won’t mishear you and text someone to “duck off.”

And newspaper columns like this one will no longer be an assault on your senses.

enjoy sharing the work we do every day at Arizona Helping Hands with our community. I believe it’s important to spread the word of a small charity making a BIG difference for the 15,000+ children in foster care in Arizona.

A safe place to sleep, a backpack to start the school year, a birthday gift and more all add up to make a huge impact on the lives of kids who have been abused and neglected.

These boys and girls, the victims of actions by people who claim to be adults, deserve every helping hand we can provide.

Our numbers document the enormity of the work we do.

In our service to kids in foster care we have provided more than 2,300 cribs to infants, most of whom have come out of the NICU with substance abuse issues; 6,600+ twin beds to give youngsters a spot of safety – their own bed to lay down on at night; 5,000 children with birthday

I guess you’d have to call me one of the “do-gooders” who begs for help with everything. I believe that helping kids with basic needs in a life that’s been disrupted by the actions of ignorant adults is a worthy mission, and one that deserves community support.

I apologize for begging, but when it comes to helping that little baby I held just this morning who was born addicted to methamphetamine, or the teenager who is struggling with self-esteem issues after being removed from a toxic environment, my pride goes out the window.

Concussion concerns fueling decline in those participating in football

BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

O

n Sept. 12, 2014, Wyatt Ellis’ life changed forever. Playing defensive end for the Basha High Bears against Cesar Chavez, Ellis broke through a double team and dove to tackle a running back.

Ellis’ football helmet cracked when it made contact with the breast plate of the ball carrier, which also cracked as a result of the hit. Ellis took two steps after the play, and then collapsed.

He woke up 22 hours later with tubes in his mouth in the trauma center at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.

“I didn’t know who I was, I didn’t know my parents and I had an awful migraine,” Ellis said. “I went home that evening and I started to gather who I was.”

He received a call from the office of Dr. Javier Cárdenas, director of the Barrow Concussion and Brain Injury Center at Barrow Neurological Institute.

Ellis saw Cárdenas a few days later for tests, which revealed that he had two brain hemorrhages.

(Zach Alvira/Tribune Staff)

Former Basha High football player Wyatt Ellis (left) suffered a serious concussion four years ago that ended his career. He said he still has occasional ringing in his ears. Dr. Javier Cárdenas (right) is director of the Barrow Concussion and Brain Injury Center at Barrow Neurological Institute.

“It took a lot out of me hearing that news, knowing my career was over,” Ellis said. “I was committed to playing at Arizona State, but I knew I couldn’t do that. It’s hard to have that stripped from you after one play.”

The severity of Ellis’ injury was uncommon, but there has been growing concern in recent years about the long-term effects

of concussions among football players.

This is prevalent across the country and reflected in Arizona prep sports, as both parents and athletes have decided to walk away from a game they love.

“We feel this is driving a decline in sport participation, specifically in football,” Cárdenas said Aug. 17 during a news conference. “We find that more par-

ents are restricting their kids from playing sports, such as football, and athletes, themselves, are declining to play.”

Cárdenas leads Barrow’s annual survey, which evaluates and quantifies the awareness and education that parents and student athletes have about concussions. The most-recent survey, announced during the news conference, showed that 59 percent of parents are allowing their children to play football, a 15 percent decrease from last year.

Only three in 10 parents say that schools and sports teams have done enough to help athletes prevent concussions.

In addition, the study showed that one in five Arizona athletes said they have suffered a sports-related concussion, 78 percent of whom are concerned about the long-term effects of the injury.

“We feel that some of the message is not always getting through,” Cárdenas said. “There are some athletes that report they are not getting education on concussions.”

To combat this, Cárdenas created the Barrow Brainbook in 2011, a web-based See

Hollen wrestles with responsibilities as multi-sport star at Mountain View

BY ERIC NEWMAN Tribune Staff Writer

T

here were several intermissions in Jeremiah Hollen’s photo shoot.

Teammates’ comments, about how famous the Mountain View High senior linebacker was, sent their beloved captain into fits of laughter, breaking up his “tough-guy” looks into the camera.

As his football teammates circled, calling him “Hollywood” and “Sunshine,” it was obvious Hollen has endeared himself to the group, who voted him unanimously as a captain.

Hollen was the Toros’ leading tackler with more than 100 in 2017. He added 11 rushing touchdowns as the goal-line back on offense. He also claimed a state wrestling championship at 195 pounds.

As coach Mike Fell said, it was Hollen’s success playing a different sport that initially caught the eye of the staff.

“When I got the job, he was going to be

Middle linebacker Jeremiah Hollen, the leading tackler for the Mountain View High football team last season, is expanding his leadership and time-management skills this year as a senior multi-sport star. He also is a defending state-champion wrestler.

a sophomore, and I actually was watching him play pick-up basketball,” Fell said.

“He knocked a couple of people over, just kind of smiled about it. He got fouled and hit, didn’t whine about it, and just showed how good of an athlete he was. Right then and there I said he would be my middle linebacker.”

As a multi-sport star, Hollen must balance his responsibilities on the football field, on the wrestling mat and in the classroom.

During the summer, Hollen often goes straight to wrestling practice in the afternoon from lifting and football practice in the mornings. He balances out-of-state wrestling tournaments, crucial to college recruiting, with Mountain View’s multiple seven-on-seven off-season football competitions.

“It definitely keeps me busy,” Hollen said, smiling.

He added that wrestling has taught him many lessons transferable to football, regarding work ethic and tackling techniques.

“As a wrestler, your body is so much

looser than somebody who just plays football. There are muscles in your body that you don’t really even train in football. I use my blast double from wrestling, which helps so much with tackling and wrapping up someone that’s coming with force,” Hollen said. “Grip is also so important in wrestling, so I can use that in football for tackling to grab onto someone and not let them get away from me.”

Fell sees it, too.

“Wrestlers have to maneuver their bodies, getting low on the ground. He makes a lot of plays that regular guys can’t really do,” Fell said.

Brandon Nuñez, Mountain View’s senior quarterback, and among Hollen’s closest friends on the team, said that he has benefited from associating with Hollen.

Nunez said he feels less pressure to lead the offense to high scores because he is confidant that Hollen will lead the See

defense to stops that, in turn, set up the Toros’ offense with quality field position.

“When he tells me the defense is going to get the ball back, I trust him. It takes some of my responsibility off. Then when we get to the goal line, he can pound those touchdowns in. It makes my job much easier,” Nuñez said.

Hollen and the Toros defense are expected to have their hands full on Friday when they visit Mountain Pointe, which has been to the state semifinals eight of the past nine seasons and is expected to have an explosive, balanced offense. Kickoff in Ahwatukee is 7 p.m.

Hollen, looking for a long playoff run for the Toros, said his senior athletic season is the most excited he’s been in his high school career because of the chance to bring glory to a program that has not won a state championship since 2002.

“I really want to be part of bringing the Mountain View legacy back. That’s what’s really important to me. My team really motivates me, and I know I motivate them to keep working hard, so I’m excited to see what we can do,” he said.

Hollen remains uncertain where he will go to college and which sport he will

Mountain View High football coach Mike Fell said that participation in another sport, wrestling, has made his middle linebacker, Jeremiah Hollen, a better football player.

compete in at the next level. Fell said that Hollen will be a leader in whatever locker room he steps into.

“Being the leading tackler is one thing, but now it’s about how far he can lead the team as a person,” Fell said. “He’s already got some of the individual stuff. I think the team success is even more important to him. He’s got the ability to do it, as well as the love of his teammates. I think he’s going to have a great year.”

instructional tool that educates athletes on the prevention, recognition and response to concussions.

The book has more than 400,000 users and is required by the Arizona Interscholastic Association to be completed before athletes can play.

Additionally, athletes are required to take the ImPACT Baseline test before the season.

“ImPACT measures their memory, verbal memory, motor control and reaction time. It also looks at short-term memory and impulse control,” said Melissa Gatti, athletic trainer at Desert Ridge High. “All of that together gives you a baseline score.

It’s a good tool to use for return to play as a baseline to see where the athlete is after the concussion.”

Desert Ridge follows guidelines set by the AIA, which requires athletes who suffer a concussion to undergo an evaluation process before they are allowed to return to play.

Ultimately, athletes must be symptom free before they begin a five-stage program that involves light physical activity before gradually returning to full participation.

Trainers, coaches and officials have the ability to remove an athlete from play if they believe they have suffered a head injury. If players are slow to get up, have trouble balancing or show confusion, they are immediately pulled from action.

“Sometimes after a concussion the athlete may feel fine. That’s what makes it hard to diagnose,” Gatti said. “It’s all about being cautious. Asking a player takes 30 seconds and it could be the difference between catching a concussion and letting someone go back out and play the next day.”

Increasing concern about brain injuries has led to advancements in technology in football helmets.

Vicis, a Seattle-based company, devel-

oped technology that allows the outer shell of its football helmets to be separate from the padding inside. When a player makes contact, the outer shell flexes to reduce impact.

Similar technology has been introduced in other helmet makers, such as Riddell, with its Speed Flex.

Desert Ridge football coach Jeremy Hathcock said that he contemplated purchasing extra padding to place over players’ helmets.

“I’m starting to learn that a kid only has so many hits in them,” Hathcock said. “(Helmets) are expensive, but it’s to the point that I want to have my kids safe.

You can’t win on Friday without the kids.”

Hathcock’s experience with concussions hits close to home.

His son, Koby Hathcock, a junior linebacker for the Jaguars, recently came off concussion protocol for his second concussion in two years.

“We tried to convince him not to play but the concussions have been a year apart,” Hathcock said of his son. “If it happened nine months apart he would be sitting the rest of the year.”

Hathcock doesn’t find distinguishing between being a father and a coach difficult.

To him, it’s simple: “I’m a parent first.

Our son is more important than football will ever be. Even though football is my livelihood, I don’t give it a second thought.”

Improved technology to keep his players and son safe comes at a cost, making it difficult for high school programs to outfit players with cutting-edge gear. For that reason, additional policies have been mandated across the nation to protect male and female athletes in all sports.

Arizona has enacted legislation to limit physical contact, whether on the football field or header practice in soccer. Another major factor is how athletes learn to play the game. Proper technique is emphasized.

Had it with the heat? It’s ‘Back to Cool’ time in EV I GET OUT Staff

t’s that time of year in the East Valley. The scorching dog days of summer drag on – they’ve been here forever and it’s a long way yet to Thanksgiving, when they might end. The kids are back in class, making midweek escapes from the heat impossible. A funk has set in.

Clearly, it’s “Back to Cool” time.

Labor Day Weekend approaches, offering three days for a brief, and perhaps final, respite before the weather breaks. In October.

Or November.

Flagstaff and the White Mountains beckon in the north and northeast. Even Mount Lemmon to the south, at nearly 10,000 feet of elevation, is 25 degrees cooler and it’s a short drive from the East Valley. And historic eclectic Bisbee on the Mexican border is a mile high.

There are many things to see and do at these places, where the climate is something less than a blast furnace. Fish on forestframed lakes. Chill in caves carved by ancient lava flows. Stroll small towns that have cool temperatures to match their cool cultures.

Here’s a quick look at cool places to lift you from that hot funk and spark Labor Day Weekend getaway plans.

rounding area. Its quirky downtown is filled with unique shops and restaurants. Lowell Observatory is a place to explore the universe. Arizona Snow Bowl offers spectacular views year-round on its ski lift. Native America culture abounds.

The craft-beer industry downtown also is a draw, no pun intended, and when the High Country beckons East Valley residents, Trevor Stratmeyer is waiting with a cold one at Lumberyard Brewery, where he is head bartender and floor manager.

“Not everyone is into IPAs or ales, so they assume they hate craft beer. But there are so many options out there, from stouts and porters to lagers and pale ales,” he said. “I love opening people’s eyes to it all.”

Nearby, Michael and Alissa Marquess’ fulltime jobs were making them miserable. The couple decided to do what they love: brew beer. From it came Flagstaff’s Mother Road Brewing Co., reflecting the lore of Route 66.

The original, now-experimental Pike Brewery and taproom paved the way for Butler Brewery, which produces beer and is a tap room.

They fall under the Mother Road name but are casually referred to by their locations.

Lumberyard Brewing, 5 S. San Francisco Street, Flagstaff, 928-779-2739, lumberyardbrewingcompany.com.

Lava River Cave: About 700,000 years ago, lava flowed through northern Arizona’s Coconino National Forest, forming a mile-long

lava tube. Adventurers flock to this Flagstaff cave, open for exploring May through October with $5 day passes. The cave is dark and the temperature is a constant 42 degrees.

Pack warmer clothes and a flashlight.

Jerome: The old mile-high mining town of Jerome, perched in Arizona’s Black Hills, is filled with history, art studios and restaurants. Enjoy panoramic views of the Verde Valley, spooky ghost tours and charming lodging options.

Payson/Strawberry/Pine: From towering pine trees, brisk air and quaint living, it’s hard to believe this is just two hours north of the East Valley. The drive is stunning as the mountains morph to lush pines.

Enjoy a relaxing pace, delicious food and cozy accommodations in Strawberry, just north of Payson. The Strawberry Inn is a selfhosted, eight-bedroom hotel. Everything about this inn, inside and out, is photogenic.

A popular destination for dinner is Old County Inn in nearby Pine. Sit on the deck and curl up with a blanket for a prime view of elk moseying across the street.

Just down the street is The Randall House, which serves coffees, teas, hot chocolate and a hearty breakfast.

On your way out of town, stop by Pine Creek Fudge Ice Cream and Espresso.

Not far south of Strawberry is Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. The view driving down is incredible, but the road is steep and curvy.

Entrance to the park is $7 per an adult.
