How to protect yourself from Arizona’s deadliest wild creatures Alden Woods

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Peggy Hill tried to warn us. “This city should not exist,” the beehive-haired cartoon mom said in a “King of the Hill” clip that’s become standard viewing for new Phoenicians. “It’s a monument to man’s arrogance.” But of course, we didn’t listen. Phoenix exists. Millions of people now live in deﬁ ance of the desert. We’re convinced we can survive not only the instantsunburn summers but the legion of creatures that were here ﬁ rst, ready — and able — to kill us. Mountain lions can pounce. Snakes can strike. Bears can do bear things. Even the bugs are deadly. And sometimes it’s no laughing matter. Over the weekend, a Yuma man died after being stung by bees. How’s an Arizonan to survive? Try this.

ing a rock or a stick. But, the website says, it’s OK to punch a cat. If you have to.

Killer bees First, the bad news: More than 90 percent of Arizona’s honey bees are the killer kind. Now, even worse news: They’re pretty hard to avoid. There is no good news. Africanized honeybees, as they’re ofﬁ cially known, anger easily and strike in swarms. They’re intensely protective of their nests, which are usually built in unexpected places: A backyard grill, a ﬂ ower pot or, terrifyingly, inside the walls of a house. “If you start getting attacked, run,” entomologist Nancy Troyano told The Arizona Republic’s Weldon Johnson last year. “That’s the only thing you can do. You need to get somewhere that they can’t get into, like a car or a building. Don’t jump into water. They’ll just wait for you to surface.” If you value safety over style, you can pull up your shirt to cover your face. Don’t wave your arms — hitting them will only make it worse. And if you’ve been stung, don’t be too proud to call a doctor: An average hu-

man can only withstand about 10 stings per pound of body weight.

Mountain lions Every once in a while, a confused cougar wanders into somebody’s backyard. People freak out. Newspapers write stories. TV stations interview eyewitnesses. State wildlife oﬃ cials send out strongly worded warnings. Then, nothing happens. Cougars and humans almost never tangle. “Mountain lion incidents or attacks are extremely rare in Arizona,” Arizona Game and Fish Department spokesman

Mark Hart told The Republic late last year. But a cornered cat is strong enough to take down a full-sized human. “If you do see a mountain lion, no matter how thrilled you are to be one of the very few who gets such an opportunity, stay well back and take the encounter seriously,” the non-proﬁ t Mountain Lion Foundation wrote on its website. The best strategy is intimidation: Look big. Wave your arms. Scream. Stare the cat dead in the eye. Then, start to back away. If the cat attacks, all you can do is ﬁ ght back. The foundation suggests us-

The only animal on this list with a built-in alarm system, rattlesnakes make their namesake sound as a defense mechanism. They don’t want to ﬁ ght — even a snake’s tiny brain can tell that they’re physically outmatched. There are 14 types of venomous snakes in Arizona — 13 rattlesnakes and one coral snake — and most of them are easy to avoid. They’re small. They’re scared. They’re slow. Even a speedy rattlesnake can only gear up to an average human’s walking speed. So Game and Fish’s advice is simple: If you see a snake, keep an eye on it and call a professional to remove it. “Remember: More than half of all rattlesnake bites are provoked by the person bitten,” the department wrote in an informational brochure. But if you wind up bitten anyway, there’s only one way to respond: Immobilize the bitten extremity, keep it below See DEADLIEST , Page 4

the heart level and get to a hospital.

Gila monsters In theory, Gila monsters shouldn’t be a problem. Even Game and Fish doesn’t seem concerned. “Gila monsters can hardly be considered dangerous to humans,” the Department wrote. There have been only a handful of reported Gila monster bites of humans. Almost all were a direct retaliation to humans being annoying, and every one caused incredible pain. A Gila monster doesn’t just bite. It clamps down and holds on, digging its teeth into the arms of whoever provoked its wrath. Should you join the unfortunate few who have been bitten, experts advise prying yourself out of the monster’s mouth, then ﬁ nding a doctor.

Put another feather in Arizona’s fearsome cap. The bark scorpion, which lives mostly in Arizona and northern Mexico, is the most venomous scorpion in North America. These deadly little guys make their home in the Grand Canyon, along the banks of the Colorado River. They also pop into people’s homes. They’re usually tan, but glow bright blue under an ultraviolet light. Most scorpion stings end up harmless, but some bark scorpions can create a serious medical emergency. If you’re stung and it turns into more than a red,

Arizona’s deadliest animal Last year, The Republic’s Lauren Castle reported on statistics collected by the Arizona Department of Health Services that track the state’s deadliest animals. Between 2006 and 2016, the department said, bees, wasps, snakes and lizards killed a combined 11 people. That was barely half the total of Arizona’s deadliest creature. Over the same period, that species was linked to at least 20 deaths. It was dogs. Reach reporter Alden Woods at awoods@arizonarepublic.com or 602444-8829. Follow him on Twitter @ac_woods.

Lives of Arizonans and Guatemalans are linked Your Turn Dean Shapiro Guest columnist

During a recent visit to Guatemala, I was short of breath. Some of that was on account of the altitude. Some was because of the pain I was exposed to. Guatemala is small —one-third of Arizona’s size — but it has endured far more than its share of bloodshed, destruction and corruption. I traveled as a member of a group of 15 American rabbis learning about poverty, human rights and justice as we learn to advocate for some of the world’s poorest, most oppressed people. We look at these issues through the perspective of faith. We are fellows of American Jewish World Service, the leading Jewish organization working to promote human rights and end poverty in the developing world. We met indigenous leaders who de-

scribed how their people are denied permanent homes so that a hydroelectric dam can be built by a company from Spain. The electricity won’t be used in Guatemala; it will be sold on the international market. We met citizen-journalists who document crimes like corporate pollution. They do this because their own government won’t even acknowledge these problems. We often met in La Casa de la Memoria, a museum dedicated to the memory of indigenous people killed in Guatemala’s decades-long internal armed conﬂ ict. Day after day, meeting after meeting with activists working to build an equitable society despite threats of violence, I was short of breath. One day a young indigenous woman told me she was inspired by Temple Emanuel in Tempe, where I serve as the rabbi. That’s because women hold positions of power and men listen to them with respect. The lives of Arizonans and Guatema-

lans are linked, and not just because we eat bananas and drink coff ee they produce. For years, the U.S. government interfered in their country, even orchestrating a coup in 1954 against their democratically elected government. While we were in Guatemala, protesters fi lled the streets. Just before our arrival, President Jimmy Morales dismissed the staff of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala. It was — and is — a group backed by the U.N., supporting an investigation into corruption and crimes against the human rights of Guatemalans. Why would a president shut down an anti-corruption program? The Torah’s stance against corruption is clear: “Don’t accept bribes, for bribes blind the sighted and distort the words of the wise” (Exodus 23:8). The words are echoed in Deuteronomy 16:19. We have an obligation — as American citizens, as people of good will — to pay attention to what’s happening there. We have an obligation to support Guatema-

lans’ eff orts to build a just society. Call your elected offi cials and let them know: the lives of the global poor matter to you. Will we use our power to stand up to cronyism? Do we only think about people when they arrive at our border? Or do we ask ourselves, “What are the causes of their migration?” “What role can our nation play in promoting productive lives for them in their countries?” Guatemala is not some far-off country. It’s just south of the headlines. My trip didn’t end when I landed at Sky Harbor. Last month, we visited Capitol Hill to speak with our elected representatives about newly introduced legislation that’s intended to protect human rights and democracy in Guatemala (by the way, I should praise Rep. Ruben Gallego for his support of the bill). We shared the stories entrusted to us by midwives and journalists — our new friends who want to breathe free. Dean Shapiro is the senior rabbi at Temple Emanuel in Tempe.

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Please visit us in our new location on the Upper Level of Superstition Springs Mall.

Rattlesnake season is in its early stages, normally lasting from March to October. But already, Banner University Medical Center-Phoenix has treated 18 bites since February. “It tends to jump from year to year,” said Dr. Steven Curry, a toxicologist at the hospital. “But we just don’t know the cause.” Curry said the unusually cold and wet winter had nothing to do with this increase. Arizona, naturally, is a hotbed for rattlesnakes, with 13 out of the 17 species of the snakes being found in the state, along with some subspecies. They can be found in all parts of Arizona. Their bites can typically, but not always, inject a poisonous venom into the bloodstream, which, if left untreated, can be fatal. “We see patients who are bitten at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, in downtown Phoenix, even climbing Camelback Mountain,” Curry said. About 25% of people who get a bite will experience a “dry bite,” which is when there is a wound but no venom is actually inside the body, Curry said. They still will experience some discomfort. The other 75% will still have a puncture wound but will also experience symptoms such as swelling, vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. There are currently two antivenin medications on the market for snake bites: CroFab and a new drug, Anavip, which was used for the ﬁ rst time earlier this year at Banner Medical Center when a Phoenix man was treated with the anti-venin. It has been used on others since. Anthony Rodriguez, 17, was ﬂ own to Banner Medical Center from San Antonio, Texas, to try Anavip after having an allergic reaction to CroFab. He was bitten by a rattlesnake while playing soccer with friends. “I went to get the ball, and on the way back, I stepped on something,” said Rodriguez. “I felt something bite me, so I just ran and panicked.”

Rodriguez after taking antivenin CroFab.

Rodriguez said his friends also heard the snake rattle. He was then taken to a hospital, where he was given a medicine that made him swell up

rapidly. Once Rodriguez was brought to Phoenix and given Anavip, the swelling went down. He was expected to make a full recovery. Curry said the best thing to do if you or someone you encounter has a rattlesnake bite is to seek medical attention immediately and avoid trying to administer any on-site ﬁ rst aid. “No tourniquet, don’t cut on the wound, no ice,” said Curry. “Just seek medical care.” When someone does get bit, their chances of survival are pretty high. “The (mortality) rate is certainly less than 2%,” said Curry. “People are great at seeking care.”

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

The superintendent of an East Valley technical-education district will resign at the end of the month as part of a separation agreement with the district she’s led for 19 years. Sally Downey has been on leave since January, when a newly elected school board hired an outside attorney to investigate concerns at the East Valley Institute of Technology. Some of the attorney’s ﬁ ndings have prompted investigations by the Arizona Attorney General’s Oﬃ ce. “I would like to thank EVIT for the opportunities and professional and personal development I have experienced over many years,” Downey wrote in her resignation letter. “I truly believe in EVIT and the opportunities it provides

to the students in the community.” As part of the separation agreement approved by the board Monday night, EVIT will pay Downey the salary and annuity she would have received between May 1 and Feb. 28, 2020. She will also be paid for 277 days of unused sick leave and 133 accrued vacation days. The governing board of the East Valley Institute of Technology was also considering a severance agreement with Assistant Superintendent Steve Waldvogel. It wasn’t clear April 8 if board members had sealed the deal. Downey has been superintendent of EVIT since 2000. Waldvogel joined EVIT in 2018.

How well do you know bell cows and rogue fowl? The Reference Librarian Mark H. Floor Guest columnist

I feel like answering a couple of animal questions. But ﬁ rst, a follow-up to a previous animal question. In that column, I mentioned that instead of a buying a teacup pup, it would be better to pick out a dog at the Humane Society. I received an email response from Sharon, who said that I should have mentioned “all shelters, more so, small rescues depending on donations to keep their doors open.” You are so right, Sharon! Our ﬁ rst animal-related question today is: “What’s a bell cow?” The dictionary tells us that it’s “a cow, especially the lead cow of a herd, having a bell at-

tached to a collar around its neck so that the herd can be located easily.” But when I’ve heard the term, it’s usually in reference to a human rather than a cow. A good example comes from the Urban Dictionary: “In football, it’s the running back who plays virtually the entire game and can catch passes as well as just run the ball. Stud running back.” Let’s use it in a sentence, shall we? “Mark should be considered the bell cow of the South Mountain Community Library.” Sounds good, doesn’t it? Now on to our second question: “Where’s the Chicken Neighborhood?” I was working with another Sharon at the library when she asked me if I’d heard of the Chicken Neighborhood. I said it sounded vaguely familiar. She then told me she occasionally likes to visit there. Continued on Page 12

CLEAN AS NEW. The COIT Commitment to You.

And I immediately thought this would make a perfect question for the column. The following comes from an online newsletter called “The Henway” (https://thehenway.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/the-chickendistrict-phoenix-az/). You may well want to take a look at this website, as there are lots of photos on it. And even though this was posted June 3, 2011, it seems that the neighborhood is still overrun by fowl. Here’s a portion of what Laree has to tell us regarding what she calls the Chicken District: “In the middle of Phoenix, on Flower Street, between 36th Street and 32nd Street, there is a little neighborhood in the historic district. In this area of about

50 homes, there are 10+ wild fl ocks of chickens, 3 fl ocks of guineas, and one large fl ock of peacocks. “It’s a beautiful neighborhood, and it’s defi nitely a fun place to visit, if you so have the inclination. One visit, I saw over 30 guineas, 15 peacocks and hundreds (possibly thousands?) of chickens. It is hard to say how many chickens there really are. Once upon a 1950 or so, someone’s pet birds escaped into the neighbors’ bushes. The birds began breeding indiscriminately. ... Now the fl ock is protected by the city.” Guess where I’m headed the next time I feel like taking a little drive? For questions you’d like me to answer and/or comments, please address your email to markhfl oor@gmail.com. Until next time, happy reading!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Phoenix police, do your job I understand that the Phoenix Police Department has recently changed several rules of the road concerning the operation of a vehicle. I’m wondering if anyone else got word about the following changes to the driving laws. To wit: ❚ Turn signals are now considered obsolete and no longer required to be used when changing lanes. ❚ Speed limits on the 101 have now been raised to 80 mph. ❚ Speed limits for motorcycles have been raised to 90 mph on major streets. ❚ Automobiles are no longer required to have muﬄ ers. ❚ Straight pipes producing at least 120 decibels of sound are allowed as standard equipment on new cars. ❚ No limits apply when driving in a neighborhood between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. ❚ There are no decibel limits on motorcycles unless the noise shatters neighborhood windows. ❚ Right turn on red no longer requires a

stop before turning right. ❚ Intervals between vehicles may not exceed 10 feet to allow for more eﬃ cient drafting. ❚ A red light must be at its brightest before you must stop at a traﬃ c signal. I am obviously being facetious here, but we really do have a problem that requires the police to be more aggressive patrolling our streets. James Anderson, Scottsdale

Maybe Medicare is the way to go I no longer need an alarm clock. Every morning for months now, the phone rings at a few minutes after 8:00 with a robo call about aff ordable health insurance. And it continues all day. It’s the same taped voice every time, even as they originate from one area code after another. You can’t block enough numbers. This isn’t the Aff ordable Care Act people with decent plans, since sign-up is over. I guess it must be TrumpCare calling, in which aff ordable means cheap cost and chintzy benefi ts designed to undermine the Aff ordable Care Act.

Two Arizona cities cracked the top 10 places for LGBTQ people to retire in the United States this year. SeniorAdvice, an online resource for elders and caregivers, ranked the 20 best cities in the nation for LGBTQ retirees. Tucson was third in the ranking, behind New Orleans and West Palm Beach, Florida, while Tempe took the No. 6 spot. The 2019 livability index considered several factors, including the city’s LGBTQ population, its Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index and local resources and government. While debates have raged regarding the state’s “no promo homo” law and whether businesses can refuse to serve LGBTQ customers, seniors face added issues over accepting assisted-living communities, isolation and health-care concerns. The site noted Tucson for its aﬀ ordability and mix of cultural and historical sites as a growing retirement destination. The article also mentioned resource groups for LGBTQ retirees, like Southern Arizona Senior Pride, a volunteer organization that convenes monthly meetings for LGBTQ seniors seeking a sense of community and awareness of aging issues. In 1999, Tucson was the ﬁ rst city in the state to adopt an anti-discrimination ordinance that included protec-

tions for gay and lesbian residents. It is one of three Arizona cities that received top marks from the HRC, alongside Phoenix and Tempe. Tempe was dubbed “an ideal home for LGBTQ seniors who want to take advantage of a full spectrum of big city and small town off erings” and was praised for its eff orts to establish protections for queer residents. Tempe made history 23 years ago when Neil Giuliano became the fi rst directly elected openly gay mayor of a U.S. city, providing him with a platform to advocate for equality. In an interview with The Arizona Republic earlier this month, Giuliano spoke about the need for more representation. “The reality is if you’re not visibly at the table, you’re on the menu,” the former mayor said. “I think we have tremendous support from straight allies, but nothing replaces having an authentic voice from that community itself at the table.” Openly LGBTQ lawmakers have maintained a presence at the state Legislature for the past 25 years. In 2017, a contingent of legislators formed an LGBT Caucus, which grew from four to six members in 2019. The group is vying to update the state’s non-discrimination law to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Reach the reporter at 602-444-8280 or garrett.mitchell@gannett.com.

How to win a year of free Gadzooks enchiladas

Gadzooks Enchiladas & Soup is known for its customizable enchiladas. COURTESY OF GADZOOKS ENCHILADAS & SOUP

Lauren Saria

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Gadzooks Enchiladas & Soup is going back to its roots. On Monday, owners Aaron and Jared Pool will open a third Valley location of the fast-casual Mexican restaurant in Tempe. “Gadzooks originally started as an idea in one of my business classes at ASU, so it felt natural to bring Gadzooks back to its roots in Tempe,” Aaron Pool said in a news release. To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will give away free enchiladas for a year to 10 fans. To have a chance to win, diners must be in line outside the new restaurant at 11 a.m. April 15 when the doors open to the public.

Where’s Tempe store located? The newest Gadzooks restaurant takes over a former non-proﬁ t youth center at University Drive and Wilson Street, just west of Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. At 1,972 square feet with a 370square-foot patio, the restaurant oﬀ ers a bright, indoor-outdoor atmosphere. The modern space features concrete

block construction and the restaurant’s signature orange furnishings and accents. In the kitchen, a gas-ﬁ red oven will quick-cook the restaurant’s award wining tacos, enchiladas and soups.

Build-your-own enchiladas and soup, go vegetarian Diners can build their own enchila-

das with ingredients including roasted tomatillo chicken, green chile pork shoulder and guajillo-braised short rib. The menu also includes options for vegetarian diners including smashed jack potato, sauteed spinach and mushrooms, and sweet and spicy cornbread. Additional topping options range from honey-vinegar slaw and pickled onions to hand-hacked guacamole and griddlefried eggs.

Gadzooks in Tempe also will oﬀ er beverages including the Osborn Oro Margarita and locally brewed Wren House Beer from Pool’s brother Drew. The original Gadzooks, which is in central Phoenix, opened in 2013. A second restaurant debuted in the Arcadia neighborhood in 2017. See GADZOOKS, Page 16

I now believe the single-payer option through the government is the best solution for maintaining the sanity of the American public with regard to health insurance. Medicare may not be the end-all of health insurance, but it doesn’t drive me crazy. James Mosier, Gold Canyon

This factoid suggests to me that student outcomes and school revenue are not 100% correlated, meaning that more money does not immediately translate into more beneﬁ t. I hope school administrators get their budgeting practices in better order, before state government does it for them. If this happens, they lose direct control. William Wade, Mesa

Schools not putting kids ﬁ rst

Remember what Ducey did

Over the years, I have read many reports in The Republic indicating approximately 50 percent of state funding is actually expended in the classroom. This means that 50 percent of revenues are expended on building, plant and administration. This leads me to believe far too much revenue is spent on actual non-teaching expenses. The primary purpose of education is to teach children, and therefore the majority of the school budget should be directly spent for that purpose. It is interesting that even less than 50 percent of revenue is spent by charter schools in the classroom. Nonetheless, charter school student outcomes are superior to public schools.

We have to wonder what 2020 White House job Gov. Doug Ducey was oﬀ ered to make him turn his back on Arizona and support President Donald Trump’s proposal to close the border (with Mexico.) Not one Arizona elected oﬃ cial from either party should consider such a response to our immigration issues. Remember this at the polls, voters. Dean Hanson, Mesa

AZTV 7 broadcasts classic shows and a giving spirit Golden Rule Moments Larry Fultz Guest columnist

Have you seen it? Have you watched it? It’s all over Arizona, reaching more than 2 million viewers. I’m talking about AZTV, Channel 7, locally owned and considered America’s No. 1 of all classic-television stations. So what’s so special about that and what could it possibly have with a Golden Rule Moment, you ask? AZTV 7 brings back those great shows like “The Andy Griﬃ th Show,” “Carol Burnett and Friends,” “Mary Tyler Moore,” “I Love Lucy,” “The Honeymooners” and “The Odd Couple”; dramas such as “Perry Mason” and “Columbo”; great Westerns, including “Gunsmoke,” “Bonanza,” “The Riﬂ eman” and “The Big Valley,” just to name a few that bring back great memories. Without question, AZTV 7 brings to us the best of talent every day. For that alone, we could certainly entertain

them as candidates for a Golden Rule Moments article. But there is so much more to AZTV 7 than just television and memorable television favorites of the past. Something more profound is at work there. Every year, AZTV 7 hosts a “Holiday for Hometown Heroes Toy Drive.” These provide toys and presents for families of fallen offi cers and fi rst responders and families of fallen or wounded military men and women. But that’s not all. Every summer, there is a back-to-school drive for supplies for Arizona’s children in need called “Stuff the Bus.” Last year, over 1,600 backpacks were loaded down with all kinds of school goodies. All of this hosted and prepared by the owners and staff of AZTV 7. But hey, there’s more. Last Saturday, at Sloan Park in Mesa, there was a 5K “JDRF One Walk,” which has a single goal: creating a world without Type 1 diabetes. All of this in order to turn Type 1 into Type None! By now, you may be thinking that there isn’t anything else this locally owned TV station does Gold-

en Rule, but read on. I’ve left the best for last. Once a month, AZTV 7 airs “The Golden Rule Student of the Month” and “ #LiveGOLDEN.” This is all part of the AGREE Program (Arizona Golden Rule Educational Experiences). “The Golden Rule Student of the Month” features an Arizona student or students who have demonstrated kindness, empathy, civility or respect in their conduct. #LiveGolden features high school students Grant and Nivea as they interview peers and experts on subjects ranging from social media and mental health to political divisiveness and civic engagement. It also explores some Golden Rule ideas that can help us all “#LiveGolden.” Their stories and examples are featured on www.aztv.com and inspire thousands of viewers every week. So where does all of this stem from? Institutions don’t have heart, emotions and community involvement without someone clearly motivating it — “driving the bus,” so to speak. The driver of this bus is Lynn Londen, CEO of AZTV 7. For Londen, “it is much more fun to give

than to receive.” You see, at an early age, Londen knew what it meant to receive, because often that was the only way she and her two siblings survived, as her mom was a single mother. She knew the fun of getting but never knew the fun of giving until she was in a position where she could do so. But it’s not just about the fun — it’s also the concept. Because Londen has been so blessed, she enjoys blessing others. One never forgets those early childhood days of being without and then receiving. Golden Rule moments came early and are still at work on a daily basis at AZTV 7. It’s why the Arizona Interfaith Movement was proud to honor AZTV 7 and Londen this year at the 2019 Annual Golden Rule Banquet with the Golden Rule Media Award. (See www.azifm.org / Golden Rule Honorees Gallery soon to see their featured story at this event.) The Rev. Larry Fultz is executive director of the Arizona Interfaith Movement.

Make walking more fun during Move More Month Your Turn Richard Migliori Guest columnist

With spring’s arrival and the days getting warmer and longer, people in Arizona can put on their shoes and experience the many health beneﬁ ts of walking — which may be one of the simplest and best ways to exercise. April is Move More Month, an annual celebration established by the American Heart Association to encourage people, schools, workplaces and communities to get out and walk for at least 30 minutes and put themselves on the road to a healthier lifestyle. Studies have shown walking more and sitting less may help people maintain a healthier weight, ward oﬀ depression and prevent serious health issues like heart disease. And a report from

Harvard Medical School concluded that walking can help curb sweet cravings, boost the immune system and ease joint pain. With that in mind, here are some tips to help make walking more fun and effective during April and year-round: Think FIT: While many people aim for achieving an aggregate number of total steps each day, research shows that moving frequently throughout the day and taking at least one brisk, 30minute walk also can have health beneﬁ ts. That’s why people should think FIT, which stands for frequency (500 steps within seven minutes six times per day), intensity (3,000 steps within 30 minutes each day) and tenacity (at least 10,000 total steps per day). If those targets seem daunting, remember it helps to start slowly and build up over time. Find friends: Walking can also double as a chance to socialize with friends, family or co-workers. Plus, research

shows there are several advantages to recruiting a workout friend, likely because that person can hold you accountable and oﬀ er support. And starting or joining a walking group at work or in your neighborhood can prove helpful, too. In fact, working out in a group lowers stress by 26 percent, compared with working out alone. Walk with a wearable: Recent studies show that people tend to overestimate how much they exercise and underestimate sedentary time. To help understand your actual activity patterns and, ideally, reinforce positive habits to support sustained change, consider using a wearable device. This increasingly popular technology has been shown to help people remain diligent in achieving those daily step goals, while encouraging seemingly small healthy habits — each day — that can eventually translate to meaningful improvements. Earn incentives: A majority of em-

ployers (86 percent) off er incentivebased wellness programs, including some that enable employees to earn more than $1,000 per year by meeting certain daily walking goals. Similarly, websites such as achievemint.com enable people to earn cash rewards for walking. Throughout April, people can go to uhcwalkingmaps.com, sign the pledge to walk more and become eligible for a chance to win one of hundreds of walking-related prizes, including a trip for two to hike the Grand Canyon or an Apple Watch. On behalf of the fi rst 25,000 people to sign the pledge, UnitedHealthcare will donate a total of $25,000 to help reduce childhood obesity, including contributions to Boys & Girls Clubs of metro Phoenix. Dr. Richard Migliori is chief medical offi cer for UnitedHealth Group.

Salmon in butter sauce looks decadent but is easy Rescued Recipes Jan D’Atri Guest columnist

You can pan-fry it, poach it, roast it, grill it, wrap it in parchment paper or tuck it inside a square of puff pastry. Then, there is another way to prepare fresh salmon. That is, seared to a beautiful golden brown and then fi nished off in rich, fl avorful Tuscan butter sauce with cherry tomatoes, basil and fresh garlic. If you really want to get fancy, add a few jumbo shrimp to the mix and you have a delicious twist on a dinner favorite. (You’ll be serving one piece of salmon and three jumbo shrimp per serving.) This recipe is as easy as it gets, but there are always questions about how long to cook salmon. With this recipe, you’ll be searing it fi rst and then letting it continue to cook in the butter sauce for a few minutes. The USDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, but some (many chefs and America’s Test Kitchen included) fi nd that 145 degrees renders the salmon overcooked and prefer an internal temperature of 125-130 degrees. A good general rule of thumb is to cook salmon until the center is translucent but will still fl ake when you put a fork to it. I love this recipe because not only do you get a really fl avorful piece of salmon (and shrimp), but you also get a gorgeously rich and creamy sauce that goes beautifully next to a bed of rice or a big piece of crusty bread to scoop up “pan goodness.”

Picture this: Wordless books help early readers Best Reads for Kids Anita N. Voelker Guest columnist

“Optics.” This word seems to be a trendy addition to our vocabulary. Like me, you have probably encountered it most often in political reporting. By doing a little research, I was surprised to learn that William Safi re wrote about this term a decade ago in his last column for On Language, a once regular feature in the New York Times Magazine. In essence, Safi re (and later his successor, Bill Zimmer) noted that the term “optics” is merely a scientifi c-sounding buzzword for image-making. How the “optics” are understood is critical; but it is not always the same for every person. Notably, reading images does not begin in adulthood; rather, it is rooted in childhood, specifi cally picture books. In the world of education, we call this visual literacy, the ability to derive meaning from image. To interpret a picture in a children’s book, a visually literate reader considers the composition of the picture and sees beyond the colors and lines to the social constructs that are revealed. (And, yes, children do this! But they do this better if adults help!) If you want to enhance your children’s visual literacy, start by selecting a few wordless books. Wordless books focus on making meaning from images ALONE! Here are a few strategies that parents, caregivers and teachers might use while reading a wordless book: Develop vocabulary to help your children talk about the picture. Consider these terms: line, shape, size, color, space and point of view/perspective. For example, specifi cally ask your child why an illustrator used a particular color or why certain objects are larger or smaller, or why the illustrator drew the image from a specifi c point of view. Ask about that white space and why the illustrator chose to add that to the page. When you come upon a particularly interesting picture in a wordless book, pause. Use these three questions

Notably, reading images does not begin in adulthood; rather, it is rooted in childhood, specifically picture books. In the world of education, we call this visual literacy, the ability to derive meaning from image. as you look at a page: What do you see? What do you think about what you see? What do you wonder about this image? Afterward, have your children draw pictures to help them express their response to the image. There are so many superb wordless picture books, but here are three that will help enhance your child’s visual literacy: “Another” by Christian Robinson is a recently published wordless book that has received starred reviews from many sources. Reviewers have called this book a “work or art and a celebration of childhood.” Join the main characters, a little girl and her cat, as they explore another world that seems to be both enchanting and puzzling. “Wave” by South Korean author/illustrator Suzy Lee off ers images of a child protagonist who is investigating the beach for the fi rst time. This book provides extraordinary images for discussion. “Shadow,” also by Lee, provides another opportunity to “read” a story told in just three colors: black, white and yellow. The setting is a dark attic, but it is a lightbulb and the child’s imagination that off er an ideal venue to expand your child’s visual literacy. Perhaps Henry David Thoreau provided the best summary for thinking about visual literacy when he wrote, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Anita N. Voelker, Ph.D., is a children’s book enthusiast, reading specialist and scholar who writes occasionally for The Arizona Republic.

"Bodies Revealed,' a traveling exhibit gives viewers a look at what "lies beneath" with 200 human specimens. Human-rights activists fear the bodies are those of Chinese prisoners persecuted for their beliefs. PREMIER EXHIBITIONS INC.

Does Odysea exhibit ‘Bodies Revealed’ exploit Chinese political prisoners? Lurissa Carbajal Cronkite News

Nearly 200 human bodies, stripped of skin and hair to reveal muscle, bone and sinew, line dimly lit galleries at the Odysea Aquarium near Scottsdale. Visitors gaze at stomachs, livers and hearts placed like books on shelves, offering lessons from the dead that exhibit sponsors and supporters say could lead to better health for the living. But a religious group with roots in China and other opponents of the exhibit “Bodies Revealed” deliver a diﬀ erent educational message: For nearly two decades, the Falun Dafa have raised ethical questions about the origins of the exhibit. They claim the cadavers on display near Scottsdale, in an exhibit that has traveled around the world, are of Chinese prisoners who were persecuted for their religious beliefs and did not consent to having their remains preserved. The bodies — some sliced into halves, others divided into thirds — have drawn thousands of paying customers in Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S., as well as protests. “If somebody who’s a prisoner is in a vulnerable population, they’re not in a position to be able to donate their or-

gans,” said Dr. Glynn Gilcrease, deputy director of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting. “In the United States, we’ve had people on death row who quickly want to donate their organs and try to essentially atone for things that they’ve done wrong. But I also think it’s important to note that the Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners of conscience aren’t people who have been condemned to death.” Consent surrounding donations to museums and other facilities is emerging as an ethical consideration, whether of African artwork in France, works from the Holocaust or the cadavers in such shows as “Bodies Revealed.” And, in the case of “Bodies Revealed,” where those works are human bodies, the ethical stakes are exacerbated by issues of power, religious persecution and public responsibility. Ethical questions raised by opponents center on the bodies’ origins, claims of forced organ harvesting and lack of consent. “It’s such a complex problem located in a new form of genocide and a new criminal act by the Chinese Communist Party that it doesn’t have a simple anSee EXHIBIT, Page 28

swer,” Gilcrease said.

Paying customers and protests “Bodies Revealed” has displayed 200 bodies and other body specimens to at least 2 million customers in such cities as New York, Miami and Las Vegas since debuting in Tampa, Florida, in 2005, according to the website for Premier Exhibitions, which organizes traveling exhibitions. Hundreds of customers have paid as much as $20 to view the yearlong exhibit near Scottsdale since it opened last May. The Scottsdale-area exhibit is divided into nine galleries so visitors start at the skeletal system, then move into the other eight areas, which include the muscular, nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. There also is a fetal-development display in a separate section of the exhibition. Each display section contains about 20 human bodies permanently preserved through a technique known as plastination, which German anatomist Gunther von Hagens discovered in 1977. The plastination process leaves the bodies in a dry, odorless and decayless state, sometimes resembling statues more than humans. Some bodies are arranged to depict an everyday activity, such as riding a bike, playing poker or exercising. The exhibition also contains displays of

Exhibit officials said they do not know whether the corpses used in “Bodies Revealed” are those of Chinese prisoners. PREMIER EXHIBITIONS INC.

stretched out human intestines, lungs polluted from years of smoking, and an array of arteries and veins showcased without muscle or bone. Ethical questions started surfacing about inconsistent documentation of organ transplants and donations. More ethical concerns arose a decade ago when “Body Worlds,” a similar exhibit to “Bodies Revealed,” featured a young mother and her unborn baby. (The tour discontinued that display). “Body Worlds” set up a donation and consent system but documentation for that exhibit also has been questioned. Opponents began to ask questions: Who would donate the remains of a wife and unborn child to a paid exhibition? Where did these human specimens come from? How did they become exhibits? Israel, France, Australia and Hawaii have banned the use of unclaimed or unidentiﬁ ed bodies, after being met by protests and condemnation. The Czech Republic changed its laws in 2017,

meaning such an exhibition would no longer be allowed without written consent from the deceased. Offi cials for Odysea, which is operated by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and Premier, which is based in Atlanta, have declined several interview requests. In a statement, Premier offi cials said the exhibit helps educate the public about how to take better care of their health and make positive lifestyle choices. Exhibit offi cials said they do not know whether the bodies are those of Chinese prisoners. The statement, which also is on the exhibit website, does not address the issue of consent. In 2017, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting sent an open letter to Australian politicians. In it, the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China states there is “credible evidence” that the bodies may belong to “executed prisoners and prisoners of conscience from China.”

Religion and persecution Practitioners of Falun Gong were singled out as the most likely victims. The group, also known as Falun Dafa, practice a spiritual exercise outlawed in China nearly two decades ago. It seeks to combine the “qigong,” a slow-moving Chinese exercise popular in the 1990s, with Taoist moral teachings. In July 1999, the Falun Gong became China’s primary public enemy, according to the religious group’s website. Practitioners were sentenced to “reform through labor” camps, where they were starved, beaten and tortured with electric batons. By 2008, there were more

than 3,000 documented cases of Falun Gong followers killed by state persecution, the group says. Lili Jhang, a practitioner at Phoenix Dafa who was a member of the group in China, said she witnessed the persecution. “In prison, these practitioners were prosecuted, and after they were prosecuted, their bodies were sold out and were taken around the world to make a profi t,” Jhang said. The U.S. has a patchwork of policies in place to deal with body and organ donations, but experts said that isn’t the case in other countries. The legal market for body parts is haphazardly regulated. Some uses are reputable, such as continuing medical education through bioskills companies, while others are less so. Jhang said the small number of Phoenix Dafa members who protested the Scottsdale-area exhibit when it opened last year were threatened with arrest if they didn’t leave. Their eff orts did not stop the fl ow of customers. “When you hear a bunch of statistics about an atrocity,” Gilcrease said, “it’s much harder to be moved to do something. When you try to detail something, like starvation in Africa, you show one person, you show one human being, and it’s easier to connect with that human being. “The organ-harvesting issue is diffi cult, because these people are incinerated, or they’re put into the bodies exhibits and they disappear. There’s no face to forced organ harvesting.” See EXHIBIT, Page 30

Human rights and customer responsibility Federal law in the U.S. requires tracking anything that happens to a body, including documenting identiﬁ cation as well as the time and place of death. However, according to Gilcrease and Jason Robert, an ethics professor at Arizona State University, once a Chinese prisoner dies, the name is changed or made anonymous, calling any data into question. Robert, the Lincoln Chair in ethics and director of the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at ASU, doubted that it ever could be proven that the humans whose remains are displayed in “Bodies Revealed” consented to the donations. He said three human-rights experts conducted a study showing uncertainty “that there were careful records demonstrating that the bodies came from donors who willingly consented to have their remains displayed in these

ways.” Robert called it wrong legally and ethically to put unclaimed bodies on display, adding, “These bodies are not a free-for-all upon death.” Customers as well as the owners of such exhibits have an ethical responsibility, Robert said. People should research the societal and fi nancial costs of such exhibits and any controversy surrounding them before they decide whether to buy a ticket, he said. According to Robert, the fi rst step to transparency lies with the consumer dollar. “If an exhibit like this one is a fi nancial fl op, consumers will have had their say and perhaps this will discourage sites from further exhibiting similarly suspect exhibits in the future,” he said. Phoenix Dafa leaders have switched from in-person protests to other approaches to raise public awareness, such as news releases and letters of protest to Arizona lawmakers. So far, their eff orts have had little visible eff ect. The exhibit runs through April 21. For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org.
