ilbert Public Schools will ask voters to approve a 15-percent override and a $10 million bond to pay for things such as more social workers, teacher compensation and classrooms upgrades. The Governing Board last week approved 4-0 to put both funding measures on the Nov. 5 ballot. Board member Charles Santa Cruz was absent. “We as a board have given this lot of consideration and have not taken this lightly,” Board member Jill Humpherys said. “We know people move to the Gilbert and Mesa areas because of the quality of the public schools,” she added. “If we are going to continue that quality we have to go out for the 15-percent override just as every other
district has or will do this year in the surrounding area.” Gilbert homeowners who live within the boundary of Chandler Unified School District shouldn’t breathe a sigh of relief: That district’s board is likely later this month to also call for a bond election. If the GPS override is approved, property owners within its boundaries would see a tax increase. For an average-value home in Gilbert of $206,125, the property tax bill would increase by $99.04 a year – or $8.25 a month – according to the district. Voters in 2016 approved a 10-percent maintenance and operations override and a $98 million bond. The district includes 40 schools stretched over Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa. An override allows a district to increase spending for its day-to-day operations such
as staff raises and supplies. Gilbert’s current override generates about $19.5 million annually, which funds programs, compensation and class size. The 10-percent override is fully funded through fiscal year 2021. An override is good for seven years, beginning with the fiscal year after the election, but a district only receives full funding the first five years. The funds then drop by one-third in the sixth year and by two-thirds in the seventh. After that the district’s budget limit returns to the state-imposed limit. Board member Lori Wood questioned the need for an election now when there was still a year of full funding left on the override. Assistant Superintendent Bonnie Betz said

ust how much impact a popular Gilbert High School teacher has had on his students became apparent last week. ames rac en, who teaches government, criminal justice and economics, was informed that his contract wasn’t being renewed. “They just said that ‘we don’t have enough periods to fill and we ll try to find you a different position,’ that was it,” said rac en, of the conversation he had with administration. “It was Tuesday, Teacher’s Appreciation Day t too five minutes for a year career. I was in shock. It could have been handled better. That was my only contention,” he said. wo days later, however, rac en was notified he could stay rac en doesn t now why the change of heart — but he credited an online petition had a lot to do with saving his job. GPS spokeswoman Dawn Antestenis said, taffing at the secondary school is always a fluid process and it is standard for teacher assignments to change frequently throughout the month, which can include teachers moving between schools. After reviewing staffing at Gilbert igh School, it was decided that an additional teacher was in fact needed," she added. "The school is ecstatic that we were able to keep such a dedicated teacher. Dr hane cCord, superintendent, is dedicated to attracting and retaining the very best talent for the students of Gilbert Public Schools." he petition on Change org was started by achel iller, a senior in rac en s government class. Miller started the website petition a day after rac en was told he would no longer teach at the high school. Within 14 hours, the petition garnered over 4,000 signatures and continued to grow even after Miller announced that rac en was eeping his ob he also cancelled a planned protest for this week. Miller said she felt she had to take action. “It was unfair to me and I wanted to change it and help him out, the year old said r rac en is ust a teacher everyone in our school loves whether you have him as a teacher or you don’t. e s definitely the ind of person you can go and talk to if you’re having a bad day, a good day or just want an interesting

He has always said that Mr. rac en treated the seniors li e adults, Skinner said. “The students realized he did this to prepare them for college.” ven Gilbert Councilwoman rigette Peterson was monitoring the situation, posting an update on a aceboo page that announced rac en was staying at the school. “I was watching this because Mr.
rac en was my daughter s favorite teacher at GHS years ago,” Peterson wrote. rac en was blown away by the support he’s received. He doesn’t have any social media accounts so his wife read the comments to him. “When have you ever seen that?” he said. “Who does this for a teacher?” rac en said he had no hard feelings over what happened. “Gilbert High School is a great school,” he said. “I’ve never butted heads with administration, which is why it was so weird have nothing in my file, no negative evaluations. I hope it wasn’t because I was older.” rac en, who is , teaches five full periods and coaches three sports — boys and girls cross country teams and girls basketball. The Gilbert resident comes to school every Sunday to prepare for the week ahead. rac en said he was offered a ob teaching at a junior high school but was reluctant to leave. “I have seniors, they are such good ids, he said or me, ve been here so long. I’m really dedicated to this school.” rac en said he has no intentions of retiring anytime soon and will continue teaching until the day he doesn’t want to anymore. Miller, who graduates on May 23, said one lesson in rac en s class definitely stuck with her. “He teaches students life in general that you can take with you,” she said. “Like we learned about the civil rights movement and he said to stand up for what you believe and be heard.

Jury sentences Gilbert officer’s killer to life GSN NEWS STAFF
A
Maricopa County Superior Court jury decided the killer of Gilbert Police Lt. Eric Shuhandler will receive a life sentence in prison, not death. Judge David Cunanan is scheduled to issue the final sentence to Christopher Redondo on Friday, May 17, ending a case that started tragically on Jan. 28, 2010, when Shuhandler was shot in the face during a traffic stop near Val Vista Drive and Baseline Road. Dan Raynak, Redondo’s defense attorney, had argued that his client suffers from brain damage he sustained from repeated beatings as a child and has been diagnosed as mentally ill. He said that Redondo’s father, who also has been incarcerated, programmed his son from a young age to hate police and perceive them as a threat. Deputy County Attorney Juan Martinez argued for the death penalty, saying that Redondo had already been convicted of killing another man in Miami, Arizona, in March 2009 and that Redondo used a deadly weapon to murder Shuhandler. Martinez also called Redondo a ma-
Christopher Redondo lingerer, and accused him of faking his mental health condition for years to avoid trial. Shuhandler was the father of two daughters, who both testified about the impact of his murder on their lives at a young age. Both women said they treasure the memory of their father, even though they had him for too short of a period.

“All I know is that it’s a feeling that no child should experience,’’ Meredith Shuhandler told the jury about losing her father when she was 12 years old. “I will always value the time we had together. There isn’t anything I can say to let you know how much I miss him.’’ An Arizona State University student, Meredith Shuhandler has said previously that she uses her father’s memory as an inspiration. Eric Shuhandler’s slaying touched off a wild chase down U.S. 60, during which air conditioning parts were tossed out a pickup truck in the path of pursuing patrol cars. Eventually, the chase ended in a shootout with police, after the driver of the pickup, Daimen Irizarry, ran out of gas in Superior. The suspects hid behind the pickup truck until police shot Redondo’s ankles, causing him to collapse. Irizarry previously received a 107year prison sentence for his role in Shuhandler’s murder. Comments on Shuhandler’s memorial Facebook page indicated that jurors were divided on the life sentence, with one woman apologizing to the family.

“I would like to say I’m sorry to the family that we didn’t get it right,’’ she wrote. Another woman, who identified herself as the jury foreman, wrote, “I’m hurting so much...it took so much to sign that verdict and even harder to hand it to the bailiff. Please know we did our best!’’ Sgt. Bill Balafas, a Gilbert police spokesman, said in an email statement that Gilbert officers had various opinions on the sentence. “As a police agency, we are thankful for the difficult service and the decision the jury had to make concerning sentencing Redondo,’’ he wrote. Balafas said Shuhandler’s big personality filled the hallways at the Gilbert Police Department, which was still small when he was slain, and that officers lost a brother and a friend. “Eric is missed and Redondo’s sentence cannot bring him back. What we are thankful for is Mr. Redondo will be confined for the remainder of his natural life where he will not be able to victimize our society any more than he already has, and that Eric’s family no longer has the burden of waiting for and sitting through Redondo’s trial.’’

Gilbert teen gets lawmakers’ OK on lemonade

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol edia ervices
W
ith a final s uee e, the state enate last wee gave final approval to legislation declaring lemonade to be the official state drin despite objections that the action sends precisely the wrong message to teens who want to affect state policy. roponents of pointed out that the measure was crafted by a Gilbert Classical Academy senior Garrett Glover who complained that Ari ona lac s an official beverage. So, he took his case to House Majority eader arren etersen, Gilbert, who agreed to be the bill’s champion. With that backing plus testimony from Garrett, the measure is now headed to Gov. Doug Ducey. Sen. Juan Mendez, D-Tempe, said that’s precisely why lawmakers should not go along. “This is the most ridiculous standard to be used as an example of civic education,’’ he said. Mendez said there was a march last year of about 15,000 high school students last year on the Capitol to advocate for gun safety legislation. That included a “die-in’’ demonstration at the House, Senate and governor s office Ducey would not meet with the leaders of the arch for ur ives group And legislation to deal with access to weapons, including mandatory background checks for all sales, went nowhere. “These students were not afforded the same privileges to help shape their legislation and learn about civics as some other people’s constituents are given that privilege,’’ Mendez said. “Yet, this bill was shepherded through this process.” “It’s really hard to stomach all of what’s going on,’’ Mendez complained. ut he did agree with colleagues on one thing: The fact that this “inconsequential’’ bill got all the way through the process

and gun safety legislation did not is truly a “teaching moment.’’ m definitely going to ta e this to students all around the state,’’ Mendez said. en isa tondo, D uma, also complained that lawmakers were dealing with this question even as they have yet to tackle more serious issues like homelessness and the budget. ut, yet, lemonade is the topic, she said. ut tondo ended up being one of the votes in favor So what changed? “In Yuma, in my hometown, there are very near, dear friends of mine who have groves and groves of lemons, tondo told colleagues. en ic Gray, un City, had his own concerns when he voted against the measure two weeks ago.
District officials say if the bond passes residents won’t see a change in their secondary property tax because the new debt would simply replace old bond debt that is paid off. owever, if the million bond fails, homeowners would see their property tax go down. Carr said the district over the years has transferred money to the budget from every possible source. “We’re trying to make sure we are us-
“I have a personal bias against sugar,’’ he said. “I have come to realize that sugar is as bad for you or worse for you than tobacco.’’ Gray, however, said he is now convinced that it sends the right message that an year old student can manage to not only propose legislation but get it through the process. And he couldn’t help but punctuate that point with some puns. “Does lemonade as our state drink really put a bad taste in our mouth?’’ he asked. “No, most people would say it’s sweet.’’ There was no immediate word from Ducey on the fate of the measure. Garrett told the Gilbert Sun News last month that he wanted to find a state beverage, but wanted something other than water or milk. “I just think it would be better to have something no one else has,” he said. “We

would be copying other states. Arizona is e tremely uni ue e got lagstaff and hoeni , very different vibes lorida doesn’t have much variety. Having lemonade makes Arizona stick out much more.” Glover, whose favorite pastime includes talking with friends and listening to music of all genres, is now preparing for his next step in life — college. He’s been accepted to Arizona State niversity and est Virginia niversity, which has offered him a sizeable amount of scholarship money. His interest includes becoming a pilot, going into politics or agricultural studies. “Agricultural studies is not one of my big interests or passion,” he said. “I just like nature and we all got to eat so growing food will be a job in the future.”
he said. “If we are going to remain competitive and provide competitive salaries, yes, we got to address efficiency, got to push that 61 percent ever higher but we also have to have funds. “That is the question that goes out to our parents, to our community members. If that is something they want, we are giving them the opportunity. If not, we will continue to do everything we can to be efficient, to put every dollar into the classroom.”

State House OKs big limits on initiatives
S
tate ouse epublicans voted last week to put some new hurdles in the path of groups that seek to propose their own laws and constitutional amendments. At a bare minimum, approved on a party line vote by the epublican-controlled House — imposes new requirements on those who actually go out and gather the signatures. That includes registering with the Secretary of tate s ffice and prohibiting petitions from being circulated by people who have been convicted of certain crimes. ep amela owers annley, D ucson, pointed out that the epublicans who want that change in the initiative process are not applying those same rules to those who circulate their own nominating petitions. And ep ennifer ermaine, a Democrat whose district includes part of Gilbert, accused epublican lawma ers of trying to undermine the petition process and make it more difficult, particularly for grass roots organizations, because they’re unhappy that voters gathered petitions and overturned their 2017 proposal to expand vouchers of taxpayer dollars for parents to send their kids to private and parochial schools. ave ur chools Ari ona did not have big money backers,’’ she said, referring to the group that defeated the voucher move. “These were moms, dads, grandparents and everyday Arizonans who stood up to this legislative body and said ‘no.’ ‘’ ut a potentially greater change would give the attorney general the unilateral power to alter the 50-word description of the measure that appears on the ballot. And the only remedy for someone who disagrees would be to sue. That, however, may not be a true recourse: The approved ballot description generally becomes publicly available only days before ballots are set to be printed. And that may not be enough time to pursue a legal challenge. “This is a blatant power grab,’’ argued ep andy riese, D ucson He said current law gives the attorney general the power only to approve or reject the language crafted by the secretary of state. hat, said riese, re uires a bac and forth between the two elected officials to come up with something on which both
can agree. The change would cement into law what happened last year when a key aide to Attorney General ar rnovich altered the description of Proposition 127, an initiative which would have required that half of all power generated in Arizona by 2030 come from renewable sources. eau oysden added language stating that the renewable energy mandate would occur “irrespective of cost to consumers.’’ That was precisely the argument Ariona ublic ervice was using in its million campaign to quash the initiative. In fact, within days of the change, a picture of the ballot with that new language highlighted showed up on A financed TV ads. Eric Spencer, who was state elections director at the time under epublican ecretary of tate ichele eagan, called the new verbiage “eyebrow raising’’ and suggested it comes with “legal and political ris s ut pencer did not challenge the new wording. Spencer, now an attorney in private practice, told Capitol edia ervices that rnovich probably has the power to ma e
changes, especially on strictly legal matters ut he uestioned how far that goes when making “policy changes’’ in descriptions. “Any disagreement between the two offices should be wor ed out through negotiation, assuming there is still time before the ballot and publicity pamphlet printing deadline,’’ Spencer said. hat s precisely what ep it i pstein, D-Tempe, said should occur — and will not occur with the change in the law. She said that 50-word description on the ballot is often the only language that some voters ever see. hat ma es the change in so critical is that the last election resulted in Democrat atie obbs being elected as secretary of state with epublican ar rnovich returned to office Putting this language into statute ensures that, at least for the next four years, it would be the epublican who gets the last word. allot descriptions aside, Democrats said is ust another attempt by epublicans to ma e it more difficult to put measures on the ballot. rior changes approved by the G
controlled Legislature include a ban on paying petition circulators on a per-signature basis — another provision that lawmakers have not applied to their own petitions. They also require that petitions be in “strict compliance’’ with all election laws. That latter change overturned court rulings which said that petitions need be only in “substantial compliance,’’ a standard that allows measures to go to the ballot despite technical errors. These changes, supported by the Ariona Chamber of Commerce and ndustry, followed a series of voter-approved measures opposed by the business community, ranging from a ban on leghold traps on state lands and allowing the medical use of marijuana to creating a state minimum wage higher than what is required by federal law. ep ohn avanagh, ountain ills, said the new changes are appropriate. He said that the initiative process — the ability of citizens to propose their own laws — has been “perverted’’ because it has become a tool of out-of-state millionaires.

GOP sex abuse tiff stymies state budget process BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol edia ervices

"Sometimes there are issues that transcend everything else we do down at the Capitol, she told Capitol Media Services. "It's time for Arizona to improve its state statutes to help child victims of sexual abuse.'' hat ma es Carter s declaration crucial is that there are only epublicans in the 30-member Senate.

BUDGET "I get all that.'' ut the enate president said she believes that his proposal, as it stands, could create new "victims,'' including business owners who end up being sued decades later for acts that may or may not have been committed by employees who are long gone. Carter, however, said she s not buying that. Ari ona would not be the first state to do this,'' she said, saying other states have greatly expanded the time for child sex abuse victims to bring civil claims. And Carter said this isn t ust about seeking damages for prior victims. She said there are situations where the same person has remained in a position of trust and with access to children eal cases were brought forth, Carter said. "And real children who were being molested could be protected by removing that perpetrator from that situation.'' he fight is over current Ari ona law which says child victims of sexual assault or abuse have two years after they turn to file a civil suit oyer, citing the studies about some children not realizing they were victims until decades later, seeks two key changes to the law. irst, he wants to e tend the statute of limitations to seven years instead of two. ore significant, he wants that cloc to start running when someone knows or should have known he or she has been

Second, he wants to allow those for whom the statute of limitations already has run to have a two-year "window'' to file new claims en ddie arnsworth, Gilbert, who chairs the enate udiciary Committee, agreed to give the bill a hearing only if the bill was altered to conform to stricter time limits hen oyer bal ed, arnsworth killed the hearing. Technically speaking, the time for hearing legislation in committee has ended. ut Carter said she s sure that something can be worked out, especially with Senate leadership needing the support of at least 16 of its members for the budget or having to go to Democrats for votes, which means adding spending that some G lawma ers may find unacceptable "Everything is possible while we're still in session,'' she said. "There's nothing stopping us from updating our statutes this year, while we are still in session.'' ann also said that there already is a window of sorts in the law. She said there is no statute of limitations on criminal charges of child abuse. That permits prosecutors to bring charges at whatever point in the future they believe they have a case. And ann said the way the law now reads permits victims to file civil suits within two years of any criminal charges being brought, whether or not the person is convicted of the criminal charges.

Tucson case shows nonsensical immigration policy BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ GSN Columnist
I
t’s been 24 years since I moved to Arizona and nothing much has changed about immigration politics in all that time. The sad, strange case of 18-year-old Thomas Torres-Maytorena proves as much. Thomas, a senior at Desert View High School in Tucson, is said to be virtually everything we look for in a teenager today: A student with graduation robes hanging in his closet for a May 22 diploma ceremony. A cornerback on the Jaguars football team who bussed tables and did yard work to earn cash. A young man with dreams of becoming an electrical engineer, a teen described by his friends to reporters as hard-working, down-to-earth and kind. These are all qualities which typically generate zero news coverage, but for the fact that Torres-Maytorena is in the United States illegally, brought to Arizona as a toddler by his family.
With his kin gone back to Mexico, the 18-year-old currently lives in Tucson with the family of his closest buddy. It’s an arrangement that made national headlines last week after Pima County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over TorresMaytorena and two friends on the night of May 2 for driving in a vehicle with suspended insurance. The deputy asked Torres-Maytorena for his driver’s license and ID, according to police. This the teen could not provide. Questioning ensued. Torres-Maytorena ultimately “admitted to the deputy that he was in the country illegally,” according to a Pima Sheriff’s press release. “It was at this point Border Patrol was contacted. Border Patrol proceeded to take custody of Torres-Maytorena.” orres aytorena spent the ne t five days in an Immmigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Casa Grande. On May 6, his Desert View classmates staged a walk out on his behalf, trudging four miles from the school to the Sheriff’s ffice in a protest covered across Ari ona
and in the New York Times. Late on May 7th, ICE released Thomas, but not before putting him into deportation proceedings. “An immigration judge with the Department of ustice ecutive ffice for mmigration Review will determine if Mr. Torres-Maytorena has legal basis to remain in the United States,” explained an ICE spokeswoman. All of which leaves me grappling with the same question I’ve been asking for nearly a quarter century whenever the subject of illegal immigration arises. Is Thomas Torres-Maytorena really the sort of human being we want to spend our limited law enforcement and judicial resources deporting? A teenager for whom Mexico has never been much of a home? A hard-working kid whose most serious crime appears to be overstaying his visa to avoid going back to the Third World? It’s the same question I asked myself back in the mid-1990s, when I trekked to the Ari ona e ico border for the first time, meeting people walking north who looked starved of everything from food to
opportunity. It’s the same question I asked in 1999 and 2000, when we spent months debating the fate of a little Cuban 5-year-old named Elian Gonzalez, whom the feds ultimately deported after seizing him at gunpoint from his American relatives. In 2010, Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070 and we debated the same question. Nowadays, the same question comes up whenever President Trump boasts about his “big, beautiful wall.” My answer? It’s simple. The only smart immigration solution is one that draws a bright line between deporting real criminals and real threats versus arresting and deporting 18-year-olds like Thomas Torres-Maytorena. That young man is not the problem. The problem is that we have spent the better part of the past 25 years chattering, bickering and twiddling our thumbs, meanwhile doing next to nothing to protect this country or to grant a teenage boy his chance at the American Dream.
fied, confused person with dementia. The first video focuses on an elderly woman in her 70’s with dementia who fell and hurt her knee in the parking lot of a grocery store. In this scenario, first responders learn how to speak calmly and introduce themselves by name. They call the patient by her name and offer friendly reassurance that her kids are going to be fine. One firefighter takes the lead and asks the others to step back so the patient feels less intimidated. Communication is at eye level and first responders remove sunglasses, which can frighten dementia patients. At all times, they seek to soothe her distress. Hospice of the Valley’s Gardiner Home, an inpatient care home specializing in dementia care, was the setting for the second video. Retired fire Capt. Gary Allen Ford plays a 63 year old with advanced dementia; he is “agitated and combative.”
When firefighters arrive, he complains of “feeling hot” and they learn he has a history of cardiac issues. In this particular scene, the staff person is newly employed and doesn’t know much about Mr. Ford, who is ranting loudly and pacing erratically. The lead fire medic uses his military history to bond with the frantic patient and calm him down. He tells Mr. Ford he’s a veteran himself from the Iraq War – and thanks him for his service. When Mr. Ford’s wife arrives to Gardiner Home, they learn more about the patient’s health and medication, eventually concluding that a possible infection may explain his agitation. The fire team assures a distraught Mrs. Ford that someone will accompany her husband to the hospital – so he won’t be frightened – and they offer her some helpful resources. Both training videos are part of HOV’s Dementia Care Fellowship program—and the project was spearhead-
ed by Capt. Dan Daley, who recently retired. “Our job is not to judge any patient, but to find out what’s really going on,” Santillan said. Santillan notes he lost his own grandmother to dementia, now the fourth leading cause of death in Arizona. Daley said: “When a dementia patient is hostile or aggressive, we need to remember. It’s not the person acting that way, it’s the disease taking over.” Hospice of the Valley offers a unique in-home Palliative Care for Dementia Program to help improve quality of life for dementia patients and support their family caregivers. To learn more about this innovative program, offered at no cost for the first month, call us at 602-636-6363 or visit hov.org. Financial aid is available.
Hospice of Valley offers dementia care training BY LIN SUE COONEY GSN Guest Writer
“I
’m a hostage here!” But in fact, “Mr. Ford” is not a hostage. He’s a fictitious dementia patient at the center of a training video that Hospice of the Valley is producing in partnership with the Phoenix Fire Department. The goal: To teach first responders the best ways to help dementia patients who are in distress. By using actors to simulate real-life scenarios, firefighters, police and paramedics learn best practices, including: communicating in non-threatening ways, establishing a rapport; deescalating fear and violent behavior and reassuring patients they are safe. Hospice of the Valley shot two training videos to illustrate all kinds of teaching points that can completely transform an interaction with a terri-

Gilbert’s James Coons wins gold in pole vault BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor
I
t’s the moment Gilbert High School senior James Coons had been waiting for throughout his four-year prep career. n ednesday, ay , during the first day of the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s state Track and Field meet at Mesa Community College, Coons became the first competitor during the three-day event to receive a gold medal in boys Division II pole vault. “It’s a joy,” Coons said. “I went over the 14foot bar with a smile on my face.” Coons edged out Williams Field junior Roy Vasquez to win the state title. Vasquez’s highest vault was 13-feet, 9 inches. Coons cleared feet, inches in his first attempt He knew the state title was in hand. “I know he can make that but I just kind of knew what was going to happen,” Coons
said. “It’s very special. I’ve been working all season to do this.” In the days leading up to the meet, Coons continuously ran through different scenarios in his head. He imagined where the placement for his pole would be, and how he would angle his body to get over the bar. He woke up on the morning of competition focused and prepared to go out and perform to the best of his ability. He did that and more on Wednesday. “I woke up and was focused,” Coons said. “I listened to music to get hyped up and I was ready to go. It’s a great feeling.” Coons’ win gave the Gilbert boys’ track and field team points to start the competition. But with very few competing in the state meet, Gilbert finished eighth overall with 23 points. The Tigers received an extra boost in points from senior Tsion Hawkins in the high jump. Hawkins placed second in the event with

oa Tuipala knew he was favored to win gold in the Division I 110-meter hurdles at the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s Track and Field State Championships, but he didn’t let that get to his head. The Desert Ridge High senior remained calm in the midst of competition at Mesa Community College on Saturday, May 4, and used his past struggles with injury as motivation. Tuipala won gold after he ran the hurdles in 14.30 seconds. He beat Chandler High School’s DeCarlos Brooks, Hamilton High School’s Karsen Burke and Desert Vista High School’s Ethan Wright to win the title. “It feels really good,” Tuipala said. “I’ve raced against those same guys all four years of my high school career. I think it’s just really cool that we have been able to compete against each other for so long and make each other faster. Tuipala’s journey to the state title began when he was just a freshman at Desert Ridge. He came up short of qualifying for the state meet, but had already established himself as one of the top hurdlers in the state. e ualified as a sophomore and unior, but didn’t make it past preliminaries. A sports hernia his junior year played a role in his early exit.

Runfola is also excited about the show’s choreography. He and Lajoie have collaborated on many shows and he said they now have an unspoken dialog during rehearsal that works really well. As with any show based on 40-year-old material, Childsplay has had to mindfully deal with some aspects that can come across as dated or inappropriate. Whether it is mentioning Pluto as a planet or having Geraldo press his affections on Geraldine “despite her objections,” the theater addresses the issues carefully with staging and conscious engagement. “It is challenging when you are working with material that is not yours to tinker with,” Runfola said. “You have to respect the authors. We can be clever enough to handle many situations in ways we do have control over such as staging. As society changes, we’re better about recognizing some sorts of things in our world.”
