Linda Rhodes was all smiles Dec. 15 when she was surprised by a new house that Patty and Ron Gottshalk of Gilbert gave her after initially planning to flip it following extensive renovations.

inda hodes repeated one phrase as she walked through her newly renovated and decorated Mesa home for the first time last weekend.

“I’m so overwhelmed,” said the 1-year-old Army veteran and cancer survivor.

The home was a gift from atty and on ottshalk, a ilbert couple and cofounders of a nonprofit called ord In Motion, who had originally bought the house with the intention of renovating it and “flipping” it.

Instead, they decided to help out hodes, whom they had met at Evident Life Church in ilbert. “ e have it customi ed so beautifully for her,” atty said. “It’s fully furnished. e totally gutted it and redid everything.” ith ramps on both sides of the house and a walk-in bathtub to help hode get around as she deals with an injured left foot, the house includes many touches aimed at making her life easier – a full-body shower, lift chair, exercise bike and memory-foam mattress.

Everything inside the home was replaced or redone – from the curtains

Maricopa County Superior Court judge has granted ilbert’s sei ure of businessman Marc arlow’s property as it builds a five-deck public parking garage in the Heritage District.

“The burden to establish public use is on the Town of ilbert,” Judge ruce Cohen wrote last week. “The evidence presented overwhelmingly supports a determination of public use.”

In a word, it’s “basic.” The mission home has an artificial tree with a few decorations.

There are none of the extended trips to the mall with a long gift list, an equally lengthy itemi ation of grocery ingredients to be taken to a supermarket and the accompanying last-minute shopping anxieties.

Friends in ilbert and some of the missionaries’ moms sent them some sweet treats and gifts.

The majority of the country’s citi ens are uddhist, so Christmas celebrations are a commercially imported idea except for those who identify as Christian, LaCinda said.

“Some of the larger stores are beginning to stock items for Christmas stockings,” she said.

“Since the essence of Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ, it matters little where we are or what we have as long as our focus is on the Savior and edeemer of the world,” she added. erhaps the biggest gift will be the visit of their son, Ed, who is working in eneva, Swit erland, and will fly to Cambodia for Christmas. Ed will be joined by their son, CJ, and his wife, Taryn, for post-Christmas festivities.

This is the first time that family members are visiting, although the Lewises have already hosted friends and claim to have “rolled out the red carpet” for them. “ e are certain that all of our children and maybe some grands and hopefully our siblings, nieces and nephews, and LaCinda’s father will eventually make a trip to Cambodia in the next 1 years, John said.

Visitors aside, there’s much to be done.

They work with missionaries and church congregations with 15,000 members scattered throughout Cambodia, who are based in 15 church buildings.

A Mormon temple for hnom enh, Cambodia was announced recently. The Lewises will have returned to ilbert by the time it’s constructed, but they can help with the foundation, they said.

“Our world in this Cambodia adventure seems to be perfectly balanced between running the marathon at the speed of a 50-yard dash,” LaCinda said. “ e spend a great deal of time working with the missionaries and the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “ e also spend an equal amount of time waiting waiting at stop lights waiting for a hmer word to come to our elderly brains and waiting for the internet to resurrect.”

The language, rooted in ancient Asian languages Sanskrit and ali, and with 0 characters, has been one of the challenges, despite the 0 hours of study with a returned missionary via Skype before leaving home.

The missionaries are given nine weeks of intense language study before arriving, and usually master the language in about nine months. “ ot that they come to know every word, but it is remarkable that they communicate so well and understand most of what is said in less than a year,” LaCinda said, adding “the local residents are very impressed.” hen John and LaCinda try to speak in hmer, it usually results in corrections with a smile.

“Every time we speak, we mix things up,” LaCinda said. “ e were told by a hmer member that they love it when we speak because they like our accents and our mistakes.”

John wishes he was fluent so that he could better communicate with everybody. He continues to spend time working on the language, while LaCinda has less time for it, as she is working on her dissertation at orthern Ari ona niversity’s doctoral program in educational leadership for higher education. esides the language mix-ups, cultural

“The hmer are exceedingly proficient at gathering a host of people for weddings, funerals and parties,” LaCinda said. “This popup party tent, in the middle of a dirt road in the middle of farmland, featured a bride and groom who changed outfits thrice, tables and chairs and a plethora of hmer edibles.”

The wedding party and the guests were bedecked and bejeweled in beads and bows, she said. In true hmer tradition, the guests who are invited came with cash the equivalent of 5 per guest in a gold-em-

“I have made many errors on this mission and being under-dressed for an overdressed occasion is a faux pas with extraordinary consequences,” she said. “ ext time, I will be appropriately adorned.”

As for the Cambodians, the Lewises find them “happy, helpful, resilient and resourceful.” “ e are so impressed with their ingenuity and their hard work. The way they move people, produce and products around the country is ama ing,” LaCinda said.

They have done some sightseeing, which included visiting the burial sites known as the illing Fields. About million died dur-

The Lewises are also struck by the torren-

records. That means no points on their license.

And a ticket erased with a defensive driving class is not reported to insurance companies, meaning they cannot use the citation as an excuse to jack up a premium. avanagh, who crafted H 005, said it s only fair that all motorists be given the same chance to wipe out their tickets.

If a person is innocent and wants to avail themselves of their rights to plead not guilty, but unfortunately are erroneously found guilty, they should still have the right to take the course to improve themselves and not get points on their license, he said. ut David Childers, who lobbies for the roperty Casualty Insurers Association of America, said it s not that simple.

He said the insurance companies he represents have no problem with all motorists who get traffic tickets going to defensive

driving school to become more skilled behind the wheel. The issue, Childers said, is hiding their citations from insurance companies.

He said insurers have to bring in enough money to cover their losses. And right now, that system is built on those drivers whose habits are more likely to cause claims paying more.

Conversely, good drivers pay less. locking insurers from knowing about those bad drivers, he said, undermines all that.

The people who don t get tickets will pay for the people who do, Childers said. avanagh sees the issue through a different lens.

He contends that many of the people who fight traffic tickets are really not guilty of anything. ut the current system, avanagh said, discourages them from fighting for

fear they will lose – and lose the opportunity to have the citation erased.

So you reward people who break the law and you penali e people who didn t and avail themselves of their constitutional right to plead not guilty, he said.

That, of course, presumes that everyone who goes to court really is innocent and not simply hoping to escape the ticket on a technicality or because the police officer does not show up. avanagh, however, said it s irrelevant to him even if the person actually did commit the traffic offense.

Even if the person who pleads not guilty is guilty, they should have the same rights as the person who is guilty and pleads guilty, he said. avanagh said the current law makes no sense.

ri ona motorists accused of speeding and other offenses could soon have a new way to escape their tickets – and the higher insurance rates that follow.

A proposal by Sen. John avanagh, Fountain Hills, would allow drivers who think they are innocent – or think they can convince a judge of that – to attend defensive driving classes if they are unable to make their case in court. ight now, that opportunity is available only to those who choose not to contest a citation. The moment someone fights it, the defensive driving option evaporates.

Motorists who successfully complete the four-hour classes, whether in person or online, have the citation wiped from their

HOUSE made possible through donations. “ e have about 0 people who have volunteered, and we have a number of people, too, who have given money to pay for the expenses for this,” atty said.

In addition to receiving donations from people to pay for expenses associated with the project, on said they have also received money from people for hodes specifically. “ eople have also been giving her checks and cash,” he said. “ e have an account for her so not only is she going to get the house, we want to give her some cash on top of that to help her for the first month or two.” atty said she is not sure exactly how much money Linda will receive. hodes said she has only ever lived in an apartment and has wanted a home for herself for ages but “never thought it could ever happen.” hodes, who said she served as a cook for the army in iessen, ermany, for three years, has survived three different types of cancer – including uterine and skin cancer, and cancer in lymph nodes beside her left kidney. hile atty said hodes does not have much herself, she is one of the most giving people she knows. hodes takes note of what people like so she can give it to them later on, she said.

“It’s not just giving someone a gift,” atty said. “She personali es everything and then she makes everyone laugh. ho doesn’t need someone in their life like that ” atty said hodes spends a lot of her time volunteering for a variety of charities, including Jesus Cares Ministries, The Salvation Army, Feed My Starving Children, Operation Christmas Child, Angel Tree, Evident Life Thrift Store and Mesa Aglow Lighthouse.

“It’s a joy just helping people do things,” hodes said. atty added: “She volunteers more than anyone I know. She works harder than most people with full-time jobs. This woman just gives to people all the time and never expects anything in return.” atty also said she hopes the project will teach others “to be aware of the people around them.”

“There are people everywhere who are almost invisible, and when you really go out of your way to help someone, it’s really incredible,” she said. “If more people were doing this, it would be so inspiring.”

Added on: “ e just want people to know not to give up on their dreams,” on said. “Some may have long ago gave up on them because they thought they were too big, but you never know what’s going to happen.”

At one time defensive driving classes ran seven hours, requiring people to sit in a classroom for two evenings or one weekend day. That has since been shortened to just four hours. And now motorists actually can take the class online from home or office.

And three years ago, legislators agreed to let motorists escape a citation once every 1 months by taking the classes. efore that, a driver could not wipe out a second ticket issued within months. o date has been set for a hearing on the legislation.

t was so cold that rand Funk ailroad almost fro e in its tracks.

The classic rock band’s guitarpickers had trouble getting their fingers to work on that frigid day in late December 00 when the East Valley helped inaugurate the region’s light-rail line. ut the sharp weather that day was nothing compared with the political headwinds that blew in the face of the system now celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Those winds, in fact, have never stopped, even as the system continues to expand and as billions of dollars in urban development projects sprout next to the tracks.

Of all the leaders who had a share in bringing the system to life, Scott Smith is perhaps best-positioned to opine on what those 10 years have wrought.

As mayor of Mesa, he sat gleefully at the controls when a light-rail train made the first crossing from Tempe into Mesa on a test run in the summer of 00 .

Months later, he fro e his caboose with the rest of the crowd as rand Funk chugged through its tunes at Mesa’s Sycamore station on Dec. , 00 .

And now, as CEO of Valley Metro, he’s actually in charge of the whole -mile system.

Smith speaks of his job with a mixture of exasperation and pride. More about that after a brief excursion into history.

The rail system, a dream of Valley transportation planners for decades, came to life through a series of city council decisions and public votes beginning in the mid-1 0s. A crucial moment arrived in 00 , when Maricopa County voters were asked to approve roposition 00, a half-cent sales tax for a 0-year transportation program that included light rail. ail opponents chose that moment to try to kill it.

First, epublicans in the Legislature tried to split up the transportation package in an effort to isolate and throttle the rail system. Valley mayors, including Mesa’s eno Hawker and Tempe’s eil iuliano, cried foul – and the rop 00 package remained intact.

There also was a 1 million ad campaign attacking roposition 00,

largely because it included rail. ut voters approved the proposal by a 5 percent margin.

Even after that vote, rail opponents pressed their case. A Mesa group called o ucks for Light ail tried to force a 00 election on the issue, but failed.

Even now, light rail is not a political slam-dunk across the Valley.

Scottsdale’s City Council voted in 01 to kill plans for light rail on the city’s south end. And in hoenix, rail opponents are seeking a public vote on a council-approved rail extension southward on Central Avenue to aseline oad.

A hoenix political committee, called “ uilding a etter hoenix,” submitted last month 0,000 signatures to ask voters to end light rail expansion in the city and instead divert the money to other transportation improvements, like buses and road repairs.

Leading the charge from hoenix City Hall is Councilman Sal DiCiccio, who maintains that the city can’t afford light rail and that it would kill the business community in South hoenix.

The initiative needs about 0,000 verified signatures to qualify for the ballot in either the May or August 01 elections, according to a city spokesman.

The timing will depend on how long it takes city staff and then City Council to verify them.

That’s where Smith’s exasperation comes in.

“The entire future of a very big and successful program is at risk” because of political chaos, Smith said. “ ith this initiative that that group has filed in hoenix , we are the only city ever to backtrack on light rail. Most everybody else, once they put it in, their expansion plans have been actually accelerated.” ut harking back to opening day 10 years ago, Smith said history has vindicated the rail system.

“There was a sense of, we’ve arrived,” Smith said. “ e’ve made the kind of investment that is a game-changer, the kind of investment that be noticed not only here but nationwide. It will place hoenix up there among the cities that are recogni ed as cities of the 1st century. And I think we’ve seen that play out.”

As it happened, the system began

operating amid the deepening despair of the reat ecession – an economic calamity that killed several highly touted East Valley real estate projects.

Investment along the rail line lagged as a result. ut now Valley Metro can point to 11 billion in new projects within walking distance of the line, ranging from housing for low-income seniors to burgeoning college campuses.

Smith said he often crosses swords with people who contend those developments would have happened in any event. ointing to downtown Mesa as an example, he noted that not one new housing construction permit was issued in the area between the mid-1 0s and 01 , when a complex for seniors opened on First Avenue. Developers said at the time that the advent of light rail spurred their decision to build. hile admitting that not all of these projects can be directly attributed to light rail, Smith said it’s clear the system revived vast swaths of once-moribund urban land. “ eople consciously made decisions to invest where they would not have invested,” said Smith, who himself is a

Free rides on Dec. 27 ides on the Valley’s light-rail system will be free on Dec. to commemorate the system’s 10th anniversary.

A lot of those rides will end at Talking Stick esort Arena, 01 E. Jefferson St. in downtown hoenix. That’s where, from 5 to 10 p.m., Valley Metro will host a celebration it calls “ ailversary.”

The party will feature live music and entertainment, food trucks, art and photography exhibits and kid-friendly activities.

former real estate developer. “It seems like an awfully unusual coincidence that in December 00 all of a sudden multiple developers decided to start shifting their investment to a route that had for decades been ignored. I don’t think there’s any doubt that light rail was the catalyst.”

Thus, he said, light rail has brought people into older inner-city areas and mitigated some effects of the muchbewailed suburban sprawl that has characteri ed Valley development for decades.

As for the future, Smith said it seems likely the system will keep growing.

Valley Metro and Mesa are looking into a rail line southward on Dobson oad to Southern Avenue, and then east through the Fiesta District to as far as Country Club Drive.

“I could see something in the Fiesta District within the next 10, 15 years,” Smith said.

From Southern and Country Club, the line could head southward into Chandler, but Smith said that probably won’t happen for decades, if ever.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES AND SUDOKU from Page 22

Another plan under serious consideration would extend Tempe’s downtown streetcar line to Dobson oad along io Salado arkway, and then southward on Dobson to connect with light rail at Main Street.

Smith said such a route would serve 0,000 to 50,000 people who might eventually be working in an innovation district being planned by Ari ona State niversity on property currently occupied by arsten olf Course.

Farther east, Smith said no studies are underway to carry light rail beyond ilbert oad. That will be the eastern terminus of the rail extension that will begin hauling passengers next spring.

In sum, Smith said, rail will be an essential transit component as the metro area adds another million people in the coming 15 years. “ e’re going to have to handle the challenge of moving large numbers of people longer distances, and there’s no more efficient or effective way to move a lot of people those distances than rail and express bus,” Smith said.

He added, “ ublic transportation is going to be around for a long time. I just hope that our political leadership continues to invest in it.”

Gilbert girl’s bracelet project becomes a hit

BY CECILLA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

M

Boys and Girls Clubs of East Valley in Gilbert to make bracelets with fifthto seventh-graders. The group works with kids age 5-18.

“Today’s bracelets will go to Los Angeles’ downtown Skid Row,” Jackson said, who put out the supplies along with slips of paper on each table with words such as “patience,” “kindness” and “love.” “We will make 300 bracelets that will go to children who are homeless and less fortunate.”

She asked the kids to think of the recipients as they crafted the Happy Bracelets. She tells them the bracelets are a sign of encouragement, hope and love to someone in need.

“When you make these bracelets, you are making bracelets for kids living on the streets,” she said. “We can’t provide a home for them, but we can provide a smile.”

The Happy Bracelet Project has a number of sponsors, including Chickfil-A in Gilbert, which gave gift cards for the group to hand out to the children who help make the bracelets, said Jackson, who also brings snacks for the participants.

The group also has received some donations such as $1,000 from the Enterprise Foundation, which helps pay for the supplies and shipping costs, Jackson added.

adison J Ringgold said stringing together a bunch of colorful plastic beads into a bracelet was meant to cheer up one of her friends.

“She would come to school sad,” the 11-year-old Gilbert resident said.

“I just want to make kids happy and make the world a better place.”

That act of kindness five years ago by Madison J, a Kyrene Middle School student, has turned into the Happy Bracelet Project, which became a nonprofit a year ago this month.

It has grown from a family effort of making and giving away bracelets to put a smile on children’s faces to (Kimberly Carrillo/GSN STaff Photographer) a community one, according to her Madison J Ringgold of Gilbert is only 11, but her idea to have kids make bracelets has become a grandmother, Elizabeth Jackson. nonprofit as other children respond enthusiastically to her notion that the bracelets are a sign of “It’s children making bracelets for encouragement and hope to other kids. other children,” Jackson said. “We’re teaching community service.

Group helps family meet autism’s challenge

BY MOLLY ARRIAGA GSN Guest Writer

O

ur daughter, Alexandra, enjoys spending time on the computer and her iPad. She loves musicals, watching videos on YouTube and holds a special place in her heart for the Gilmore Girls.

She loves her cheer class at USA Fitness in Gilbert and enjoys attending church on Sundays. And while that might sound pretty typical for a 17-year-old, high school sophomore, our lives are anything but typical.

Alex was diagnosed with autism in 2012. The initial diagnosis consisted of big words like pervasive development disorder, developmental dyspraxia, sensory integration disorder and speech apraxia.

The years leading up to her diagnosis presented more questions than answers and frankly, it was wonderful to finally be able to put a name to it.

Finding resources to support the diagnosis proved challenging, but we were determined to do what we had to do.

Our biggest challenges involved get-

ting Alex out of bed and ready for school and encouraging her to try everyday morning tasks we knew she was capable of handling.

Every day was a struggle. A behavioral therapy called ABA Therapy was recommended, so we put ourselves on the wait list. Three years later, we were still waiting.

And then we discovered the Southwest Autism Center of Excellence (SACE), a collaborative effort of Southwest Behavioral & Health Services and Southwest Human Development, in 2017.

A psychologist who worked at SACE heard (Special to GSN about Alex and reached With the help of the Southwest Autism Center of Excellence, out to offer counsel and Alexandria Arriaga has been able to cope with the challenges support. posed by autism.

forever.

Joan, a psychologist with SACE, taught us to focus on Alex’s strengths.

A visual learner, Alex excelled at working with and completing tasks on a picture schedule. A consistent and slow “hand-over-hand” approach coupled with a lot of praise soon had us on our way.

Motivation by praise and assuring Alex could tackle and accomplish hard things helped our daughter’s confidence bloom. Alex now enjoys doing things independently and gets annoyed when I try to help her. We still have to make sure things are done correctly, but what a difference from a year ago.

Since communication with the school can be difficult, as public schools often lack the resources needed to work with and champion someone like Alex, the fact that SACE directly interacts with her school is a real blessing. The SACE psychologist also provides access to resources for times outside of school and on the weekends.

WHERE TO TURN FOR SUPPORT…

T

he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 1 in 71 children in Arizona are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a biologically-based neurodevelopmental disorder. It is defined as delayed social communication skills, social interactions, and restricted, repetitive behaviors (RRB).

October marks the first-year anniversary of the Southwest Autism Center of Excellence (SACE), a collaborative effort of Southwest Behavioral & Health Services and Southwest Human Development as part of Mercy Care’s Mercy 360 Community Initiative.

SACE philosophy of serving Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) members throughout their life span promotes high quality community-based services that are tailored to each member and family – delivering services in the most appropriate setting, in a timely fashion and in accordance with best practices, while respecting the members and family’s cultural heritage.

The centers coordinate care and ser-

vices across multiple systems to ensure families receive effective and efficient care.

These services include: • Diagnostic screening for ASD and developmental screening • Comprehensive team assessments • Evidence-based, intervention services to address medical, developmental, and mental health/behavioral needs associated with or impacted by ASD • There are four ASD Centers of Excellence across the Valley to assist families faced with Autism spectrum disorders.

Alex’s inability to communicate her needs and wants can be a challenge. Sometimes she comes home from school with watery eyes, holding an ice bag or dressed in a completely different set of clothes.

She can’t communicate what she feels or when something hurts. It’s hard and like any parent would feel, my heart struggles. Because of the helpful techniques and support provided by SACE, we looked into verbal therapy and are now working with Alex, motivating her to use her words.

The treatment plan really seems to be working, and I look forward to the day when she can verbally share her feelings.

Today, Alex basks in the applause her team receives when they perform on center court. Her confidence is at an all-time high and we have a team of people to thank for it. She has learned to trust and work with other kids and has really come out of her shell.

Alex enjoys going to her Life Skills class. It’s a social group of kids her age that teach the independent living skills they may

need at home and in the community. She also enjoys going to church on Sundays. I’m so thankful for the people that have taken the time to know and accept Alex.

Having a child with different abilities is a special gift. She is aware of her surroundings and is a great judge of character. She has taught us simple things like unconditional love, faith, hope, patience and how not to take life for granted. She lives simply, doesn’t ask for anything and is happy most of the time.

Our goal for Alex’s future is simple. We want her to be accepted and self-sufficient to the best of her abilities. We want her to graduate from high school and secure a job so she can contribute. Most of all, we want her to be safe, happy and loved.

There are still some things we can’t do that most families do on a regular basis. We can’t just get up and go or do things spontaneously.

Every event takes careful planning and letting Alex know ahead of time what is planned for the day.

Families should not despair in dealing with autism. Hope is there with SACE.

Mobile pet hospice a labor of love for area veterinarian

BY DEB SAMSON GSN Contributor

I

n recent years, pet ownership has spiked in the U.S., sparking a growth of pet-related companies and services, from pet bakeries to doggie daycares to spas that offer massages, pedicures and stylish grooming.

According to the 2017-18 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 68 percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 84.6 million homes. By comparison, in the 1980s pet ownership was 15 to 20 percent lower.

Not all popular pet services are about pampering our furry friends, though. Some bring comfort at a difficult time. One quickly emerging field – in-home hospice care and euthanasia for older or terminally ill pets – is helping owners cope with the inevitability of losing their animals.

thanasia practice serving Ahwatukee and the East Valley, said the death of a pet is an incredibly difficult life event for pet owners.

“In many ways, the loss of a pet can be as traumatic as losing a friend or family member to a terminal illness,” Merrifield said.

Merrifield felt called to end-of-life care because of her own experiences with losing pets and human loved ones. Helping pets pass with dignity is a way for her to honor her grief and transform it into something meaningful.

The Lap of Love team offers several related services – including in-home consultations aimed at helping families decide whether or not it’s time to euthanize their pet; hospice care to decrease pain and palliate other symptoms, such as nausea or anxiety; and euthanasia to alleviate and prevent impending suffering.

“The absolute most important thing to owners is that their pet doesn’t suffer,” Merrifield SEE

Going back and forth to the veterinarian’s office can be stressful for animals, especially those who are elderly or sick.”

Mobile veterinary services make it possible for a pet to receive care at home where they can stay in their own bed and be closely monitored by the ones who know them best.

The holidays can be a particularly challenging time, according to Merrifield.

“Every year, we see an increase in the number of pets getting sick and dying around this time,” she said. “As most families gather together to celebrate, some are forced to say goodbye to a best friend they’ve known for over a decade amidst the hustle and bustle of the season.”

For this reason, Merrifield offers appointments in the evening and on holidays.

Dr. Steven Hansen, president/CEO of the Arizona Humane Society, agrees that today’s pet owners are seeking more comfort

and direction from professionals when a pet is gravely ill and approaching death.

“Knowing when to say goodbye to a beloved pet can be very difficult,” Hansen said.

“I recommend that pet owners schedule a wellness check-up with their veterinarian in order to talk through their pet’s quality of life and in doing so, it will often bring clarity and allow them to follow their heart and do what is best for their pet.”

Lori Eastin, an East Valley resident, recently chose in-home hospice for her 13-year-old golden retriever, Trevor.

It started with a frantic phone call to Mer-

rifield, whom Eastin affectionately refers to as “Dr. Jordy,” at 5 a.m.

“Dr. Jordy was amazing,” Eastin said. “She spent the time to answer all of my questions, and she addressed the need for quality of life and pain management in a very understandable manner. ... Dr. Jordy fully understood my relationship with Trevor and was supportive of my decisions. I am happy to say that he is still with us and is doing better. I’m not ready to say goodbye yet, and I don’t think he is either.”

et it fly.

That was Fulton Homes’ decision on the large American Flag at Cooley Station in Gilbert.

Stating that the flag “has become a staple of the community,” the homebuilder said the 10’x15’ flag will continue to fly long after the sales office closes.

“Initially a new homebuyer at Cooley Station requested that the community be able to keep the American flag flying after we closed the sales office,” said

CEO Doug Fulton. “I immediately took that to heart given our patriotic values at Fulton Homes.”

“We are more than happy to donate the flag and pole to Cooley Station and very proud to know how much of a priority it was for so many in that new community,” he added.

Fulton Homes will donate the flag pole back to the community so that a flag can be hung year-round, not just when the sales office is open.

The town must still approve a permit for the flag pole to be relocated near the aquatic center and, in return,

a volunteer committee of homeowners will take care of it, Fulton said in a release.

“As long as the flag is flown with respect and the pole is not dormant, Fulton Homes would allow these patriot volunteers to maintain the flag pole,” the company said, adding it is considering lighting so the flag can be seen at night.

2019 promises what? Columnist looks ahead – kind of

ome year’s end, some columnists run out of things to write. This gives rise to lots of “year in review” pieces, whereby ink-stained wretches again pick over all that occurred during the past 365 days.

An hour later, the City of Seattle announces its plan to move the entire city to the state of Nebraska. As Mayor Jenny Durkan puts it: “First we lose the Super Sonics, now we get this guy? Frankly, we’d rather abandon Microsoft to grow corn.”

Gilbert football players spread joy to senior-living facility residents

BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor

F

ootball season may be over in the

East Valley, but members of the Gilbert High football team have not suddenly dropped their spirit and drive for accomplishment.

Players recently set up Christmas trees and spread seasonal joy to residents of the American Orchard Senior Community.

“We ask our community to support us, so this is an opportunity for us to support them,” Gilbert football coach Derek Zellner said.

“Christmas is the time of giving, so we want to go give to them.”

It’s the second year that the team dedicated an afternoon to the senior citizens in the home. It was arranged with the help of Chrissy Hall, executive director of American Orchards.

Her son, Zach, is a sophomore in the Gilbert football program.

Hall says that the facility’s residents enjoy the time with the players while they set up the trees. It’s common for them to joke with the boys, and even boss them around a little if they think they aren’t setting up the tree correctly.

Hall believes that the interaction is mutually beneficial to the players and the residents.

“They really enjoy having the kids come in

warm up as the seniors start speaking with them.

Silence turns to laughter and joy.

“We were putting up one of the trees in one of the rooms and some of the elders sat down and enjoyed watching us put it up,” said Anthony Yanez, a sophomore defensive back and receiver for the Tigers.

(Pablo Robles/GSN Staff) “We could tell they Gilbert High football players got into the holiday spirit by setting up and were enjoying themdecorating Christmas trees for residents at American Orchard Senior selves, and it feels good Community.

The impact that the Gilbert players made and talk to them and share stories,” Hall said.

“The players listen to the seniors. To see the on the senior citizens is greater than what they could have imagined, especially when taking smiles on their faces, it’s priceless.

“It’s pretty cool to see them develop relation- into consideration that many in the home don’t often spend as much time with family as ships.”

For some of the players, coming into a facil- they would like.

American Orchards helps seniors in many ity like American Orchards is unfamiliar territory. Hall said the players are shy at first but ways, from those with Alzheimer’s disease and

dementia to others who need 24-hour care.

The facility aims to provide a place for those to feel at home in an unfamiliar environment.

And with the help of the Gilbert football players, they have been able to take that one step farther the past two years.

“I feel like we are making a difference,” said Wyatt Zellner, sophomore quarterback and tight end. “Even something as small as putting up Christmas trees can go a long way. They seem to really enjoy it.”

Wyatt, who is the son of the coach, finds joy in spending time with the residents. It also gives him a chance to bond with teammates for a good cause.

Not every Gilbert football player made it because some are involved in winter sports or after-school activities. For those who were there, dedicating part of their afternoon to give back to the community was rewarding and heartwarming.

“Whoever can get over here and help, it’s great,” Derek Zellner said. “Some have transportation issues, but if we only have five kids then at least it’s more than just me.

“The ladies and gentlemen love having us and as long as I am the coach this will be a traditional thing we do every year.”

EV high schools wooed by athletic shoe, apparel companies

BY ZACH MOORE GSN Contributing Writer

L

ucrative contracts for athletic apparel and footwear are not limited to professional and college sports.

Athletic gear is a competitive big business even at the high school level.

Companies vie for the loyalty of successful programs and are willing to shell out big bucks to schools to entice them to wear their products.

The big three in the game are Nike, Under Armour and Adidas, and East Valley schools are hearing from them.

Take Highland High in the Gilbert Public Schools district and Red Mountain High in the Mesa Public Schools district as case studies, typical of what successful athletic programs in the region receive.

In information obtained from a public-record request, Highland recently signed a five-year contract with Under Armour, through June 20, 2023, giving the manufacturer exclusive rights to the school’s apparel, equipment, on-field signage sponsorship, game footage and highlights.

In exchange, Under Armour is paying Highland $20,000 the first year and $25,000 the following four years for use in the athletic department at Highland’s discretion. The Hawks also receive 40

percent off all Under Armour apparel and accessories and 30 percent off all footwear.

Red Mountain athletic officials wanted their athletic programs to be outfitted and sponsored by Adidas.

According to Red Mountain athletic director James Gowdy, Adidas provides better service than other companies.

“The thing that is great about Adidas is that I can call them at any time and they will be there to help me and answer my questions,” Gowdy said.

Gowdy also explained that Red Mountain typically renews with Adidas every three to four years and that the school gets to decide where an undisclosed amount of money from Adidas goes for their teams.

“We get so much money from Adidas every year,” Gowdy said.

“The teams can spend it on whatever they want, whether it is apparel, equipment, etc.”

For example, last year the basketball team received a new scorer’s table.

Gowdy said the Mountain Lions get their own custom stock uniforms at a lower price than Adidas’ competitors.

“They reached out to us because they are a big sponsor for Arizona State and Adidas normally communicates with big schools around the area to try and land sponsorships,” Gowdy said.

Gilbert celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Lydia

BY MCKAYLA HULL GET OUT Contribuing Writer

T

en years after Lydia’s album Illuminate lit the band’s way to success, the Gilbert act is headlining two nights at Crescent Ballroom.

To celebrate the decade anniversary, Lydia will play the album front to back, with assorted other tracks incorporated into the set.

“We are very lucky to be in a band that anybody in the world cares about at all,” said pianist Matt Keller, whose band performs Friday, Dec. 28, and Saturday, Dec. 29.

“It’s a record that people really, really, really loved and the songs are fun to play.

They’re still relevant in people’s lives.”

Although Lydia is celebrating Illuminate, the musicians say the band has evolved and fans need to grow with them.

“It’s so incredible how fans have stuck with us from the get-go, and how they’re still here,” Keller said. “But at the same time, I feel like we wouldn’t have anybody still here if we were just trying to make music for the old fans. We’re not going to pretend to play some other kind

(Kat Nijmeddin/Special for GET OUT)

Gilbert-based Lydia is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with two special shows, Dec. 28 and 29, at Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix. The group will play its entire album, Illuminate, along with other assorted tracks woven into the show.

of music so that somebody is happy. We won’t be happy.”

Lydia’s newest member, guitarist Shawn Strader, added, “I made a very active decision to not play into how Lydia used to sound.”

Formed in 2003 by front man and guitarist Leighton Antelman, Lydia has gone

through band/touring members but has settled on Keller, Strader and Antelman as the core group.

In July, the trio released its 10-song album, Liquor, which features the track “Sunlight” and the first single “ oodside,” an experimental take on its emotinged indie folk.

“People expect us to be a certain way because our music is soft, sensitive and real,” Keller said. “At the same time, it’s that way because in real life we’re not the type to express our feelings to people and get all deep. If somebody wants to get deep with us, we’re going to say, ‘Later.’

“It’s the music you make, at least that’s how we all operate.”

The recording of Liquor was trying for Lydia.

“Sometimes you live as a musician or an artist or a writer or just a human and the things you experienced don’t surface until a lot longer,” he said. “This record brought out a lot.”

The Black Moods are back in town after Joe Perry tour GET OUT Editor

T

he Black Moods have been traveling the U.S., putting in their time playing their Top 40 hit “Bella Donna” at radio stations, and performing gigs.

And it’s paying off for the Tempe band, which is playing New Year’s Eve at the Marquee Theatre. “Bella Donna” is in its second week in the Top 40.

“It’s crazy, right?” said singer Josh Kennedy. “I was surprised to see it there the first week.”

On Oct. 31, The Black Moods released the follow-up single “Bad News,” which is about stalking in the days of social media.

“It’s a modern-day stalking song about things like Facebook,” said Kennedy, who’s joined in the band by drummer

Chico Diaz and bassist Jordan Hoffman.

“People go to places and they check in. You can find anybody and completely stalk them because of their online presence.”

The song was written because The Black Moods’ producer, Grammy-winner Johnny K, was less than thrilled about another song the band penned.

“We played some songs we had been playing live and the fans really liked,” he (Special to GET OUT) said. “He said he didn’t like it but we were so Fresh off a tour with Joe Perry, Tempe-based The Black Moods return attached to the songs, home to play a New Year’s Eve show at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe.

as were the fans. We didn’t want to mess with that.

“We asked him to go back to his hotel room and let us come up with something else that night. We looked at each other and said, ‘Oh (crap).’ We messed around with it. The guys were jamming on a groove and whatnot. Johnny K came in and put his Johnny K on it and we had ‘Bad News.’”

San Holo bridges indie past with EDM on debut album

CALL ME FOR GREAT RATES!

TREASURY MARKET ACCOUNT

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA GET OUT Staff

I

n the days when electronic artists are producing singles, San Holo joined the fray recently by releasing his debut full-length project, album1.

The Dutch DJ’s catalog includes singles and EPs, but this time he felt a 12-song collection was necessary.

“I felt like I wanted to tell a longer story with this thing,” said the musician born Sander van Dijck.

“You can tell a small part of a story with a single, maybe an EP, three or four tracks, but to tell a real long story in depth, I need more tracks.”

He’ll be telling his story at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 30, and Monday, Dec. 31, at Rawhide Event Center, 5700 W. North Loop Road, in Chandler during Decadence Arizona. Set to close out 2018 with a bang, the two-day extravaganza includes Skrillex, Above & Beyond, Marshmello and Rezz among 28 artists.

Calling the album an emotional trip, van Dijck intends to usher in a new era of sound and production.

“I used to write on guitar already, but then I would translate it into a synthesizer or, like, an electronic sound,” he said. “A couple of years ago, I got bored with playing guitar a little bit and I started producing electronic music, which is when the San Holo thing started, which was very electronic, very beat driven.

Over time I started listening to guitar again, and that’s why you hear a lot of guitars on this album.”

He views it as a bridge between the indie and EDM worlds.

“I felt like everyone’s trying to sound like John Mayer or like Stevie Ray Vaughan,” he said. “Everyone was going for the same thing. They were all trying to be really good, technical solo players.

And I just didn’t feel like I could do anything that was different in that scene, so I started exploring beats and production and I found a really nice place in that realm to do my own thing.”

Not one to stick to trends, crafting an instantly recognizable and original sound is important to the Zoetermeer native.

Calling album1 only the start of his new vision, van Dijck, who co-founded the record label bitbird in 2014, wants to push boundaries. No matter how much his style evolves, it must remain

(Special to GET OUT)

The musician born Sander van Dijck, who created San Holo, comes to the two-day Decadence Arizona New Year’s Eve extravaganza at Rawhide Events Center in Chandler Dec. 3031 with yet another fresh, new sound.

uniquely him, he said.

“I didn’t feel like I was in my own lane anymore,” he said. “So I started finding ways to make it new, innovate again.”

The project came together in about half a year while staying in a Los Angeles Airbnb. Avoiding traditional promotion and release schedules, he wanted the record to represent where he’s at in life. To achieve that goal, he had to be spontaneous.

“I don’t want to sound cheesy, but I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with the response, especially the messages people send me after listening to the album.

People seem to have really strong emotional reactions to listening to the album through,” he said.

“It just means a lot that people listen to it and tell me that it means a lot to them.

I’ve heard many stories about all kinds of situations people are in and that my music supports them in whatever way and that’s just one of the most beautiful things to me.”
