Sue Pulvirenti gets a hug from one of the members of the Red Mountain High DreamCatchers Club. (Submitted photo)
With only months to live, Sue Pulvirenti, a 74-year-old hospice patient, fulfilled her lifelong dream of publishing a book March 23 when she attended her own book signing at Half Price Books in Mesa. The book signing was made possible by students in the DreamCatchers Red Mountain High School club and Rage for Charity. And it brought Pulvirenti to tears. “It’s like it shouldn’t have even happened,” she said. “I’m flabbergasted.” Hospice DreamCatcher Foundation, also known as DreamCatchers, works with high school and college students to

Mesa Public Schools Superintendent Ember Conley and the school board got eye-opening news about staff and students. (Submitted photo)
Mesa Public School board members appeared blindsided and shocked when a consultant expressed concern about the district’s little use of technology and the mental health of teachers and staff. After visiting 13 schools and 66 classrooms in five days, strategic planning consultant John Ross highlighted key findings that he suggested may be keeping the district from realizing its vision of graduates with a robust set of knowledge, skills and interests. The assessment is the first step of what a four-phased master plan for the district, anticipated to roll out in the com-

Mollie Thompson was afflicted with retinal disease when she was born. When she began to struggle with night vision, she knew her life was about to change. “When I was about 38, I had to quit driving,” Thompson said. “I joined a support group because I was starting to feel too depressed about the whole thing. I had two kids. I was working. How would I get to work?” The support group is Foundation Fighting Blindness, which was founded in 1971 by a “passionate group of individuals driven to find treatments and cures for blinding retinal diseases.” At the time, very little was known about these diseases, but in the last 40 years, the foundation has raised more than $725 million to support and advance the research that would reverse

blindness and restore vision. The most common eye disease is macular degeneration, which affects many adults older than 55. To raise money, the Foundation Fighting Blindness is hosting a golf tournament at 7 a.m. Friday, May 17, at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club, 6425 E. Teton, Mesa. Shotgun start at 7:30 a.m., followed by golf and a 12:30 to 2 p.m. lunch and awards ceremony. The foundation is looking for sponsorships and raffle items. The Bausch Foundation, who donated $5,000, is the presenting sponsor. For more information, visit fightblindness.org/arizonagolftournament. Thompson can be reached at 602-481-3243. Thompson has retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare, genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and loss of cells
in the retina. Common symptoms include difficulty seeing at night and a loss of peripheral vision. “One of the first signs is night blindness,” she said. “Then you slowly lose your peripheral vision. Then there’s macular edema. If I just had the RP, my central vision would remain clear. I would have the night blindness and no peripheral vision.” Macular edema is a buildup of fluid in the macula, an area in the center of the retina. Thompson, 63, had to stop driving. She relied on Dial-a-Ride until the boundary lines changed around Mountain Bridge. The Foundation Fighting Blindness meets monthly to share stories and to hear speakers. The tournament is its largest

Couple’s Kaleidoscope Dance for anyone passionate about dance By Dzevida Sadikovic When Trudy Sherman was 6, she started ballet jazz and continued dancing it through high school; she learned square dancing in fifth grade and danced regularly in college; there she picked up folk dancing. As happens, though, life gets busy, a person gets married and what was a youthful passion takes a back seat. “I didn’t dance for 27 years,” Trudy said. Then she was diagnosed with cancer and realized she had only one regret: “I had quit dancing!” The next year, for Christmas 2013, her husband, Kevin, bought dance lessons. They haven’t looked back. In August 2017, five surgeries later and a renewed zest for dancing, the couple, both of whom are engineers, bought the building at 2848 S. Carriage Lane in Mesa and the next month opened Kaleidoscope Dance Space. Their niche: beginners and social dance.
The dancers at Kaleidoscope are free to choose their instructors and they don’t have to “join” or sign a contract. At Kaleidoscope, Trudy and Kevin created professional space for independent instructors to come and teach lessons for a floor-use fee. “None of the instructors are employees,” Trudy said. Dancers, no matter skill level, can practice without an instructor if floor space is availPortrait of Trudy and Kevin Sherman at Kaleidoscope Dance in able for $5 an hour. Mesa,. (Photo credit Pablo Robles) “It is hard to find a “We are here is some kind of dance place to practice, and when the floor is vortex and we are in the center,” Trudy empty why don’t have them practice,” said. Trudy said.
Kaleidoscope offers beginning ballroom classes (waltz, foxtrot, tango, chacha, rumba and swing), Brazilian samba, line dance and West Coast Swing. For fitness and health, the space has tai chi, Zumba, Reiki therapy and Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art incorporating the elements of dance, acrobatics and music. Milonga (an event in which Argentine tango is danced), Kathak (Hindi name for Indian classic dance that tells a story) and all levels of yoga with Nicole Anne Yoga are available. Trudy and Kevin teach couple-dance classes focusing on a few basic steps and posture. Good for weddings and cruises, Trudy said. Stephanie Lawrie, who was introduced to Kaleidoscope through a friend, said she loves the atmosphere, the way Trudy teaches and the exercise part of it all. “She is giving us such a little tips and step-by-step instruction, which I always

smile says a thousand words, and everyone wants theirs to say all the right ones. A perfect smile is something everyone desires. Chase D. Davis, DDS, FAGD and the team at Mesa Dental strive to give their patients not only a beautiful, confident smile, but a healthy one. The team at Mesa Dental knows going to the dentist is probably everyone’s least favorite activity and that dentistry isn’t always straight forward. Creating a trusting, stress-free doctor patient experience is a must. By the time you leave, you’ll feel more like friends and family than just a patient. They take the time to explain treatment options and inform on preventative care. Mesa Dental strives to take care of patients of every age – but specifically loves to focus on their elderly patients. Nothing is worse than missing teeth. It can leave you unable to eat or speak. With an on-site denture lab at Mesa Dental, they can provide their patients with a variety of cosmetic services like dentures and implants at a lower cost. Having a denture lab on-site also allows you to get your dentures on the same day! No more waiting weeks – how great is that. Not sure which route is right for you? Mesa Dental understands. The choice between conventional dentures, snap in dentures, permanent dentures, partials, and implants can be daunting. Most of those options probably sounded like the same thing to most of us, but the team at Mesa Dental will be sure to explain them all – and help you choose the best route for you. Cosmetic Dentistry – like implants and dentures may help you get the smile you’ve always wanted, but it’s the preventative maintenance that helps you keep it. Poor oral hygiene has been proven to lead to many dental and medical conditions such as heart disease, strokes, gum disease, infection and diabetes. The experienced, friendly staff at Mesa Dental offers a range of other services as well including cleaning and prevention, Invisalign, root canals, teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, veneers and emergency dentistry. Mesa Dental is a proud preferred provider for Delta Dental. As a preferred provider, they make the insurance process easy to understand. Can we get a hooray! Mesa Dental knows insurance is complicated, so they’ll process your Delta Dental claims and basically eliminate the paperwork for you. Can we get a double hooray! Don’t have Delta Dental? Don’t you worry. Mesa Dental accepts most insurance plans. No matter your dental needs, Mesa Dental is on your side. An experienced, friendly & knowledgeable team you can put your trust in – especially when you’re a little scared. Get the smile you’ve always wanted with Mesa Dental.

When Nancy Seyfferle put her Mesa-based animal rescue, Furever Friends Rescue, on hold due to personal hardships, she didn’t know what to do. Then, miraculously, an attorney called her saying she was one of about 30 recipients who were going to receive roughly $98,000 from an anonymous donor. “It’s really one of those serendipitous things that came out of nowhere,” Seyfferle said. Last year, she used the money to partner with Mesa veterinary clinics to help pay the vet bills for owners who cannot afford them. The goal was to get a year’s worth of experience under her belt before reapplying for grants to get her organization running Nancy Seyfferle, of Furever Friends, plays with her rescue dog, Fate, in her Mesa home.

Pulvirenti said she mainly hopes people will find “comfort” from reading her book as well as the curiosity to go see the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona, where she spent a great deal of her time while writing the book.

Because of Seyfferle’s help and funding, Heitman said his clinic has helped several cats through serious illnesses and injuries. Seyfferle’s funding has helped owners pay for their pets’ cancerous masses, anorexia issues and treatment for kidney diseases. “She is willing to do anything and everything for these cats,” Heitman said. “Anything we are capable of doing, she will do.” One day, Seyfferle said she would like to return to her childhood summer retreat of Nova Scotia to retire. Her rescue work has only begun, though. “We still are meeting the mission somewhat by helping people pay their veterinary bills and making sure their pets are well cared for,” Seyfferle said. “I really do believe in what we do.”

Law enforcement in Mesa looking back
expensive homes
In 1883, the Mesa City Government was established and Wellington Richens was elected its first marshal. Crime back then was very different. In the early 1900s, someone attempted to blackmail a prominent physician, Dr. Drane, who received an unsigned note telling him to meet at the flour mill at 11 p.m. the following night with $300 in an envelope. Drane complied, however, he did tip off the town marshal. Drane showed up to the mill and a man appeared out of the shadows. Little did he know, the marshal, two deputies and two newspaper reporters were hiding near the mill. The man was immediately arrested, held for a while, and later released and asked to leave Mesa and never return. Hyram Peterson was the Mesa town marshal for five years. On November 12, 1913, he observed two men attempting to steal a bicycle and gave chase on his own bicycle. He caught the two men on the edge of town but the suspects shot and killed him. By the early 1930s, Mesa’s police department consisted of the police chief and four officers. One of

these officers, Ramon Mendoza, was Mesa’s first Mexican-American police officer. His son, Ramon Mendoza Jr., became Mesa’s first Hispanic police chief in 1969. Ernesto Miranda, of the famed U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, was born in Mesa in 1941. His legal case resulted in the establishment of the “Miranda Rule,” which requires that law enforcement officers advise individuals, upon arrest, of their rights to counsel and to remain silent. He is buried at the historical City of Mesa Cemetery. Today’s Mesa Police Department has more than 800 sworn officers and 400 civilian personnel. It boasts a 45-acre public training facility, a 16-acre firing range, and a state-of-the-art forensic services lab.
Hyram Peterson was the first lawman in Mesa to be killed in the line of duty in 1913.

Students in this class range in age from early 50s and to late 80s. Some have balance issues, others are recovering from the surgery or had knee replacement. Others are recovering from cancer. “It is not going to keep you from having a problem; but now if it happens, you’ll have more of your brain being utilized to facilitate recovery,” Trudy pointed out. “In the cases of Parkinson’s or certain injuries, they might not ever regain their balance; however, their core muscles will get stronger and their stamina will improve.” Children 12 and younger do ballet bar work, learn hip-hop routines and kick it with Zumba.

Teachers...continued from page 1 ing academic year. The district hired Ross for an outsider’s perspective on “the Mesa way.” “We’re at that point of tension, and that point of tension is we know we need to progress and do some things differently but there’s fear and there’s anxiety around the changes that we need to make,” said Mesa Public Schools Superintendent Ember Conley. Among Ross’ concerns is that technology has yet to significantly impact teaching and learning outcomes. Ross said teachers are not receiving enough professional development to utilize those tools properly and that students are not given sufficient opportunities to incorporate technology into each lesson. “I just don’t see that the technology resources you’ve purchased so far have made a significant impact on practice,” he said. The consultant added that the most innovative use of technology is occurring in kindergarten to third grade. He said that the students move up
the system, teachers need to continue their advancement in digital education, or their growth risked being stunted. “They’re moving up your system and they’re going to be ready for more robust learning,” Ross said. “Unfortunately, the most common use of technology I saw was a document camera connected to a projector. The most common resource I saw used by students and 65 percent of classrooms was paper-based.” The finding raised concerns for board member Jenny Richardson, who drew attention to the district’s significant expenditures on technology while some teachers are “still struggling to turn their document cameras on.” “What does our public think when we say, ‘hey our computers haven’t made a difference and we’ve spent a lot of money on them’?” Richardson said. With a projected $7 million in bonds committed to teacher and student devices for the spring, Executive Director of Technology and Communication Helen Hollands assures the board that the district is entering what she called “phase two” of the classroom technol-

available to teachers and staff that are being underutilized –such as the district’s employee assistance program. “We’ve done a couple different roll outs of this information and you know sometimes when you receive information like this its oftentimes hard to hear… not only do we have a significant crisis for our youth, we’ve really got to work different and progress differently for our staff,” Conley said. “I’m excited to hear around how we can leverage current resources...We have resources that we’re not fully utilizing so let’s use those fi rst,” she added. Ross noted this time of year is perhaps one of the most anxiety-ridden for teachers as they have to, “shut their classrooms down into a testing factory.” He said create less stress around testing time, teachers should be aiming to get students to “learn for learning’s sake,” in order to increase retention rates during testing season. Ross also expressed concern about student engagement in classes, stating it more a “ritual compliance” rather
than an earnest effort to learn. Ross estimated that 40 percent of elementary students and a mere 20 percent of secondary school students were engaged in class and that the rest likely were just waiting for the bell to ring. The strategic planning consultant said if comprehension, application of knowledge, strategic thinking and extended thinking are all applied in daily lessons, students will look at testing as “just another day,” and added as a result test scores would improve. The consultant that added his findings seem consistent across the schools he had the chance to visit, however they may not ring true for every school. Ross said he challenged principals to question his fi ndings and use his methods to collect data of their own. The next phase is creating the steering committee, which will be comprised of 35 individuals from “all walks of the educational realm” including some board members, cabinet members, students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders. The group will be formed in April and work through July to help further guide the direction of the strategic plan.

Thompson hopes the Foundation Fighting Blindness’ efforts will pay off for the sake of her children and grandchildren. “I hate to see one of my grandchildren go through something like this,” she added. “So far they don’t think my children have inherited the gene. They still have to get gene tested to find out for sure. I followed in the footsteps of my father. They felt if my kids had inherited it, they would all follow the same pattern as me.” Al Linde has had similar experiences. The 68-year-old has been legally blind since 2013 from macular degeneration. He can still see well enough to play golf. “I have good friends who tell me where it went,” Linde said. “I play golf about once a week. I’ve been involved with Fighting Blindness for about four years.” Linde is a rare case. His macular degeneration hit him when he was 47 years old in 1998. “It actually stems from a fungal histoplasmosis from, of all things, bird droppings,” he said. “It’s very prevalent

in the Ohio River Valley where I grew up in Indiana. “We used to visit family who raised chickens. I remember running up and down the chicken coops with my sisters. A very tiny percentage get histoplasmosis in their lungs. It migrates to your eyes. Most people have no effects and a tiny, tiny percentage have this happen.” Linde has a low immune system, as he had stage-IV cancer treatment in 1994. His disease manifested into the eyeball; it mimics wet macular degeneration. “I’m very interested in finding a cure,” said Linde, a retired letter carrier. “I hate to see other people having to go through this. I have a sister in Indiana who’s just been fighting it for the last nine months. It’s a horrible thing to go through and I’d love to see research produce a cure.”

Kids of the 1990s and 2000s are sure to remember the iconic doll series, American Girl. From its BeForever historical line to the customizable Truly Me dolls, American Girl swept the nation. Now, the beloved characters are coming to the Mesa Arts Center in the new musical, “American Girl Live.” “American Girl Live” is an original, modern 90-minute musical that focuses on the importance of friendship and girl power. “We’re eager to continue offering positive and engaging programming like this for families throughout the Valley,” said Casey Blake, Mesa Arts Center’s director of marketing and public relations. The musical tells the story of five campers and their counselor at Camp American Girl in the North Woods. The girls face various obstacles and overcome their fears with the help of their American Girl dolls: Rebecca, Maryellen, Julie, Nanea, Luciana and Melody. The production has upbeat musical numbers and imaginative storytelling. Cast member Mari Skoultchi is a “swing,” so she’s required to thoroughly study the show. “This means that I learn every single part in the show in case one of the girls get sick or can’t go on,” she said. “Being a swing is very hard yet rewarding work. You don’t get all the onstage rehearsal time that the other girls get, yet you are still expected to know their parts just as

well as they do, if not better.” Each number performed by a “doll” reflects her designated time period. For example, Maryellen sings a 1950s-style song. After learning from their American Girls, the campers realize they can achieve anything they set their minds to, as long as they support one another and be themselves. Skoultchi emphasized that “American Girl Live” is “not your average kids’ show.” Instead, it’s a Broadway-styled family show. The musical is girl-centric, featuring an all-female cast and crew and these women continue to display the power they hold in these creative positions. “This show truly has such an inspiring message for young girls everywhere,” Skoultchi said. “It teaches girls that they can do anything they set their minds to, that they are limitless.” But do not be afraid to bring boys, though. “This may be an all-female musical, but the message is equally important for young boys as it is for young girls,” said Skoultchi.

Pennants and movie posters, like “Slapshot,” hang on the walls. Al Kaline and Babe Ruth are among those remembered at Matty G’s. Even owner Matt Gorman has a college and minor league baseball career. The majority of the memorabilia is from Gorman’s family. But the sports décor isn’t what made Matty G’s a hit here in Northeast Mesa and in Murrieta, California.

what’s cooking? By Jan D’Atri
Ham and Egg Brunch Cups
They’re easy enough for kids to make and yet elegant enough to serve at your next fanc y brunch. They’re called ham and egg brunch cups, but you can also make them with sliced turkey or salmon. I love this recipe because it’s so simple and looks gorgeous on a plate. I’ve included a fantastic recipe for crispy hash browns and a simple way to “fancy up” store-bought refrigerated cinnamon rolls. These delicious brunch cups are my new favorite way to say good morning.
Ham and Egg Brunch Cups (Serves 4) Ingredients: 4 slices deli-style ham, turkey or smoked salmon 4 large eggs 4 teaspoons milk or cream 4 tablespoons shredded or sliced cheese Salt and pepper to taste Herbs like thyme or chives for garnish Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cupcake tin or ramekins with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter. Line each cup with a piece of ham, turkey, or several pieces of smoked salmon. Ham, turkey or salmon should cover the bottom and sides of the cup. Break an egg into each cup. Pour 1 teaspoon of milk or cream on top of each egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for about 12 minutes or until egg whites are opaque and eggs are done. Remove egg cups from oven. Sprinkle with tablespoon of shredded cheese or a piece of sliced cheese. Garnish with herbs. Serve immediately.
Cinnamon Roll Pull-a-Parts Here’s a great way to fancy up refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Remove the dough from one canister of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. On a cutting board, gently push the slices together and with your hands, roll them into one continuous log until there are no visible seams in the dough. With scissors, snip the top part of dough to about three quarters of the way down.
Arrange the cut sections so that each section leans on opposite or alternating sides. Spread the pieces apart, alternating sides. When rolls are done, drizzle with icing and serve.
Crispy on the Outside Hash Browns (Serves 4) (The secret to these perfectly crispy hash browns is letting them cook without disturbing them! I know the tendency is to keep flipping, but don’t! Trust me!) Ingredients: 1 large russet potato, peeled and shredded 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided Salt & pepper to taste Directions: Roll shredded potato up several paper towels and squeeze tightly to draw out the moisture. Repeat with fresh paper towels if needed. Place shredded potato in a bowl. Toss with salt & pepper. Preheat a large fry pan (preferably nonstick) to medium-high. Place oil in the hot pan and swirl around. Make four patties of potatoes and place in hot skillet, patting them slightly to flatten. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook undisturbed and uncovered for 15 minutes. When bottom is crisp, turn potatoes over. Cook until crisp. Serve immediately.

Mesa comedian hosting benefit for Boys and Girls Clubs pasta vixen

Comedian Paul Arnold once used his craft as a way to support himself. Now he has a different ambition: Raise money for organizations that support kids. The Northeast Mesa resident is scheduling a series of fundraisers at the Apache Greyhound Park. From 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 19, he and his comedic friends’ performances will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mesa and Apache Junction. “The Boys and Girls Clubs is a nonprofit and receives no government assistance,” said Arnold, who formerly worked as a server at Red, White and Brew. “I decided to do a show where $5 from every ticket goes toward the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mesa and Apache Junction.” For Arnold, it’s personal. “I grew up in Boys and Girls Clubs photo page

The Boys and Girls Clubs helped me get better with football and basketball and allowed me to move on to college hoops and football. “Parents drop off their kids at the club, but nobody helps the clubs.” Arnold is a well-known figure in Northeast Mesa. At Red, White & Brew he preserved his sanity by slapping hands with coworkers and saving secret handshakes for customers. “There are a lot of things going on in life nowadays,” Arnold said. “I was always taught if you’re laughing, you don’t have time to think about the negativity.

She’d drink her Johnny Walker Red and all hell broke loose.” It’s easy to see that Arnold’s mom meant a lot to him. “She’s the one who really inspired me to do what I wanted to do,” he said.

He wants to show his son not to be selfish. “You do things because you love it and it’s in your heart,” Arnold added. “It’s not because you’re forced to do things, either. Don’t be conditional.” Arnold admitted he’s trying to step away from the spotlight and, instead, act as an organizer. “I just want to host the shows, promote the shows and do more things for the community,” he said. “The dog track, it’s empty. It’s empty space. I’m hoping to turn that around, too.”

Infill projects are few along McKellips Road in Mesa, but a Scottsdale developer found a prime slice of land along a canal to be the perfect spot for The Alan Luxury Townhomes. Taylor Shultz with Porter Kyle Multifamily Developers and Builders eyed the property, which was formerly an orange grove, with his partner Mike Stephan, who grew up in the area, and Matt Long. The Alan—located on the north side of McKellips Road, east of Gilbert Road, and west of Lindsay Road—is three two-story buildings with private yards attached to each unit. Shultz and his partners went “to great lengths” to maximize the views and space afforded by the canal. They worked with SRP to permit direct access for The Alan’s residents so they could jog along the path. “My partner actually knew the gentleman whom we bought the land from,” comm. spotlight

Shultz said. “It used to be an old orchard and we rezoned it with the city of Mesa.” The units have two-car direct-access garages, and inside have 10-foot ceilings throughout. They boast stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, full-size, front-loading washers and dryers and a bathroom downstairs. The private balconies off the master bedrooms have artificial grass to give it a homey feeling.

Hello, readers! And welcome back to another month of Business Briefcase. This time we have a chamber-heavy column. The Mesa Chamber of Commerce has plenty of great ribbon cuttings approaching, from new businesses to new owners and new chamber members. Maybe you have a bit of a sweet tooth and desire some yogurt, or maybe your sweet tooth is a problem and you need a new dentist. Well, both are covered here. Beyond that, there’s everything from a full-service bank to a senior care services company and more. Here’s the news! First, Yogurt Kingdom is under new ownership – and because of that, a ribbon cutting will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, April 4. The ribbon will be cut at 2:30 p.m. With a plethora of flavors and even more toppings from which patrons can choose, this self-serve, frozen yogurt shop isn’t one diy
