Fulton Ranch resident keeps Phoenix Suns players healthy BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
As a high school student in Manning, Iowa, Aaron Nelson didn’t exactly know what an athletic trainer did. But by the time he was in his early 20s, he was so engrained in sports that he was already

working for the Phoenix Suns as a trainer. Now the Fulton Ranch resident serves as the team’s vice president of athlete care and head athletic trainer. Whether it’s a major injury or a stiff neck, the 43-year-old Nelson loves the challenges his position brings. “You never know what to expect,” Nelson says. “It’s not like a regular 9-to-5 job. Everything’s different every day.” Nelson, the brother-in-law of former Suns guard and current head coach Jeff Hornacek, is in his 21st year with the Suns. He spent seven years under the tutelage of Suns’ Ring of Honor member Joe Proski, before embarking on a 14-year-and-counting career as the head trainer. He says he appreciates the relationships that he has forged with Suns personnel. “I really enjoy all the people—the coaches, athletes, my staff,” Nelson says. “I have a really close relationship with my staff. Being able to interact with the players, the coaches and even management daily is probably the most fun part because it’s always different.” Included in his role are the SEE TRAINER PAGE 4
Joan Rivers helms Nov. 15 ‘Pain’ benefit at CCA BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
Calling Joan Rivers in her Cleveland hotel room is like being thrown to the wolves—in a good way. “It depends on who’s calling,” Rivers says with a laugh, when the reporter asks for her. “No, I don’t think you can speak to me.” That is met with a hearty laugh from the legendary 80-year-old comedienne/actress. Rivers is set to entertain the crowd at the “Comic Pain Relief” benefit at 7 p.m. Fri., Nov. 15, at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Rivers says it’s a cause that’s close to her heart. “Every time I look in the mirror I have pain, so I know exactly what these people are going through,” she says laughing.

Veteran shares time in Pacific BY TRACY HOUSE
Walk into Stan Fagerstrom’s office of his Sun Lakes home and the first thing you notice is the numerous books and trophies he has on the shelves. The walls are covered with articles and pictures and his desk in covered in papers. Take a closer look and you’ll see that some of those books are about fishing, and some of the articles are his commendations from World War II. He’s laid out a wellpreserved knapsack, a tiny Bible with a metal cover and two blue boxes on his desk. Fagerstrom is 90 years old; one of just over 1 million surviving WWII veterans. He’s welcoming and soft spoken, willing to talk about his experience as an army corporal stationed in New Guinea, in the Pacific Theater. A journalist and “Master Caster” fisherman, Fagerstrom has traveled the world demonstrating his angling magic. He began writing in high school and went on to college in Longview, WA. One year after Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1942, he enlisted in the army. “I took my basic training in Camp

Fitness Challenge raises money for Children’s Cancer Network BY MEGHAN MCCOY
For the first time since the PITT Fitness Challenge’s inception, the “Saturday After Thanksgiving Workout” will feature vendors in the hopes of attracting more participants, as well as increasing donations for the Children’s Cancer Network. Brian Clark, a 22-year cancer survivor who was diagnosed with Leukemia ALL at age 11, started the PITT Fitness Challenge eight years ago as a way of raising money and giving back to the Children’s Cancer Network. “I do this out of the kindness of my heart because this is what people did when I was sick,” explains Clark, who owns PITT, located at 2150 E. Germann Rd., Chandler. “It’s something we like to do and continue every year.” To celebrate the challenge’s conclusion, the “Saturday After Thanksgiving Workout” on Nov. 30 is also held for participants and their friends and family to work out. “They can come and donate a $1 for a workout for an hour,” Clark says.

job as an assistant—if I wanted it,” he recalls with a laugh. That led to the position of head trainer; a career move that made him the youngest head athletic trainer at the time. “It was the start of a career, something that I aspired to do,” he says. “That was my goal—to be a head or assistant athletic trainer in the NBA,” Nelson says. It came to fruition.

prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and assisting in the travel operation of the team. But being based in Chandler is a joy. A 10-year Chandler resident, Nelson moved from Tempe to Chandler and fell in love with the city. “I love Chandler,” Nelson says. “Most of our players live in Scottsdale. When we get someone new in the organization, I tell them how great Chandler is. It’s clean. There are tons of things to do. There’s easy access to everywhere you want to go. It’s awesome. “Of all the places I’ve lived, it’s definitely my favorite place in Arizona.” A year ago, he and his family—which includes wife, Jessica, two sons and a daughter—moved down Ocotillo Road into Fulton Ranch so their children could attend school there. Jessica is a teacher by trade, however, she is taking time off until their daughter is older. The family regularly attends festivals throughout Chandler, including the Ostrich Festival at Tumbleweed Park and the fireworks. “Chandler has so many different things to do,” he says.

Nelson learned his trade from the best, like Proski. Following graduation from Iowa State University in December 1992, Nelson spent the spring 1993 semester as a graduate assistant at Arizona State University. While an undergraduate, he was a student athletic trainer for four years under National Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Famer Frank Randall. Nelson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education with an emphasis on athletic training and a minor in health. He then attended California University at Pennsylvania, where he earned his Master of Science degree in exercise science. He began his career with the Suns after his first semester at Arizona State University, where he initially pursued
Finding success Nelson has been honored for his work with the Suns, whose home opener was Wed., Oct. 30. He was named Joe O’Toole NBA Athletic Trainer of the Year and the Trainer of the Year by the National Basketball Athletic Trainers Association for 2009

his master’s degree. He worked for the team from age 23 onward. He has also been employed by the Arizona Rattlers, Arizona Sandsharks, the onetime indoor soccer team, and the Phoenix Smash, a pro indoor tennis team with a roster that boasted the legendary Jimmy Connors. “My plan was to do soccer and tennis in the summer and then go to school to get my master’s degree,” Nelson says. “I started with soccer and Smash, went to my first semester at ASU and then it was the year the Suns went to the finals in ’93 that they asked me to help once the playoffs started. They found someone to cover my sports for me.” He began traveling with the team about two weeks before the playoffs began and continued through the finals. “After that, they offered me a full-time
Nelson truly admires his family, including his mother, who worked as a nurse for one of only two doctors in Manning. “The doctor she worked for covered all of our sporting events,” he says. “I really liked medicine and started out pre-med.” He yearned to be a small-town family practice doctor, but the tide turned when Hornacek schooled him in athletic training. His career didn’t go that route, however, the one-on-one care of the players echoes that sentiment. Nelson loves his job and says there isn’t a bigger challenge than missing his family during road trips. “I have a young family,” he says. “Being gone half the year, that’s probably the hardest part. Outside of that, everything is great.” Christina Fuoco-Karasinski is the editor of the SanTan Sun News. She can be reached at christina@santansun.com.

teams, Chandler Police Department, Chandler Fire Department and many resorts. Music, games, kids’ activities and raffles will be a part of the event. “We have every single person possible involved,” he says. Clark explains that they are still looking for vendors for the event. Those interested are encouraged to call 480855-3145. The event will kick off at 9 a.m. and will run as long as everyone is there. “Depending on the turnout, it should be fairly close to noon,” he says. Last year, the challenge generated $5,000 for the Children’s Cancer Network. Clark hopes to double, if not triple, that amount this year with the addition of the vendors during the “Saturday After Thanksgiving Workout.” Eighty individuals joined the eightweek PITT Fitness Challenge Sept. 30 to lose weight and maximize their health, while donating to a worthy cause. The challenge’s success, Clark says, he believes, is due to the individual diet plan provided for participants. Everyone begins on the same plan and then it is altered depending on how much weight is or is not being lost. “We teach them how to eat healthy,” he says. “We simplify it for people because people aren’t educated about proper eating.” The participants are given eight weekly goals to meet, which are recorded at their weekly weighins. When the challenge kicked off,
participants had their measurements done to record their body fat, weight and waist measurements. “We calculate how much fat they are storing and then we give them a goal of a certain amount of weight or body weight loss,” Clark says. Clark says he offers classes daily. Participants can join to help them meet their goals. “I have classes almost every hour,” he explains. They start at 5 a.m. and end with an hour class at 7 p.m. On average women typically lose 12 to 32 pounds during the challenge and men have lost between 20 and 65 pounds. If the participants meet their weekly weigh-in goals, they can win back a $25 credit from their $250 registration fee. A maximum of $200 can be earned. Those who participate in the challenge acquire pledges from family, friends and co-workers for each pound they lose, body fat percentage or straight pledges. That money is then donated to the Children’s Cancer Network at the end of the eight-week challenge. Once the challenge concludes, an end weight will be taken, as well as body fat to see how it fluctuated. Meghan McCoy is the Neighbors and Business section editor for the SanTan Sun News.

good experience for me.” He was 20 years old. “Several months later they sent me overseas. They sent me as a replacement. I went to New Guinea and I joined Company G of the 167th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Dixie Division.” “They were in combat at the time. That’s where I saw my first action,” five days after he joined the outfit Fagerstrom explains. It was 1944. From New Guinea he went to Morotai, an island in the Halmahera group of eastern Indonesia’s Maluku Islands (Moluccas). Fagerstrom’s battalion traveled throughout the islands. On the Mapia Islands, Fagerstrom lost 17 of his comrades to the fighting. His division was one of four that was to have formed the 8th Army and on, or about, March 1, was to have landed in Tokyo Bay. “Thank God that didn’t happen,” Fagerstrom says. “One of the things you just do in wartime is look for souvenirs, something you can grab. One of the things guys in the South Pacific looked for was flags or swords.” Fagerstrom explains that when a Japanese soldier went off to war he was given a flag from his family. Fagerstrom took three flags while he was in combat. He brought them home, and 52 years later had the opportunity to travel to Japan for a casting demonstrating. Through his connections, Fagerstrom sent the flags to Japan and one was returned to the family of a Japanese soldier, the other two were enshrined. “When I got the invitation to go

to Japan, I thought ‘Stan you’ve been holding on to these flags all these years, this might be kind of a closure for you.’” The flag was regarded as the Japanese soldier’s burial. “I’m glad I did that,” Fagerstrom says. “It was just the right thing for me to do. It made a difference.” Fagerstrom has written about his experiences in WWII, poems and short stories—stories about his army buddies Joe and Billy, the Bible his mother gave him, finding the flags and finding his way alone along “Teardrop Trail.” He’s kept the knapsack he carried throughout the war. He unfolds the map he used in the
jungle. “This is what we had to use. There’s not another one of these in existence,” he explains showing the trail he walked alone when he was too sick to continue on with his company. “I got a couple of medals,” Fagerstrom mentions. They are Bronze Stars he keeps in the blue boxes. One letter of commendation, dated July 27, 1945, cites outstanding devotion to duty in action against the enemy. Under heavy enemy fire, he and five others evacuated all the wounded on a trail without regard for their own safety. Fagerstrom was overseas almost two years, in the Army for three and a half years. He spent the better part of a year in the hospital from a back injury he suffered on a ship. He came out a sergeant. When he returned, Fagerstrom worked for the Daily News in Washington; he was there for 37 years. In 1982, he began freelancing, and still writes every day. He has four Internet columns on fishing and has written four books on casting. Fagerstrom has been chosen for an Honor Flight departing early next year. America’s veterans are transported to Washington, D.C., to visit those memorials dedicated in their honor. An honor Stan Fagerstrom is most deserving of.

Project Connect helps residents get ahead Chandler City Councilman Kevin Hartke listened intently as a resident explained his need: A new ID card so he could secure a new job and get on the road to stability. Harkte and Councilwoman Trinity Donovan were among more than 200 volunteers who served as guest guides at Valley of the Sun United Way’s Project Connect Event held Oct. 15 at Chandler Christian Church. Their role was to connect more than 300 individuals to
vital health and human services that end or prevent their homelessness, from food, wellness checks and showers to employment and housing opportunities. “Sometimes people just need a little help to make life better,” Hartke says. “Whether that’s employment, a hot meal or emergency shelter.” United Way coordinates monthly Project Connect events throughout Maricopa County as part of its key Community Objective to End
Homelessness in Maricopa County. “When you end homelessness, you empower people to be able to lead independent and productive lives. This transforms individual’s lives and entire communities,” says Amy Schwabenlender, United Way vice president of community impact. To volunteer or learn more about Project Connect and United Way’s efforts to end homelessness, visit vsuw.org/ projectconnect.
Parking policies, code enforcement on council agenda Changes to a number of parking enforcement policies and other ordinances involving key neighborhood issues will be considered by the City Council at the Nov. 7 Council meeting. Amendments to chapters 12 and 30 of the City Code, which govern traffic rules and neighborhood preservation are intended to address a number of issues, including: vehicles continually being repaired in residential driveways; vehicles that remain parked on city streets for extended periods of time; inoperable vehicles parked in driveways, and; RVs, boats, commercial vehicles and utility trailers parked in such a way as to impede
visibility and traffic circulation. Other proposed changes will improve the city’s ability to enforce compliance with the revised parking regulations, plus introduce, expand or clarify the definitions of weeds, abatement and blight and establish an independent court ordered abatement process. A Parking Task Force comprised of Chandler residents, plus focus groups that included resident leaders, Neighborhood Advisory Committee members and city staff developed the recommendations. Descriptions of the proposed changes can be found online at chandleraz.gov/ code. Select the link entitled “Parking

Chandler strikes oil Since early 2010, Chandler has generated $2,400 in revenue and saved another $11,600 in disposal costs by recycling approximately 5,750 gallons of used motor oil. The oil is collected from Chandler residents who bring it to the city’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center located at 955 E. Queen Creek Rd. The oil is sold to a petroleum recycler. Prior to implementing the oil recycling program in 2010, Chandler was burdened with the cost of purchasing containers to store the oil, plus paying to have the containers hauled away and properly disposed of. The HHW facility was opened in 2006 to accept used motor oil and other household chemicals to discourage such chemicals from being thrown in trash containers, poured down drains or dumped at the curb. Appointments are required when dropping off household hazardous waste and can be made by calling 480-782-3510.

Help soldiers by donating gently used cell phones Great Choice Chiropractic, who is partnering with Cell Phones for Soldiers Inc., is asking residents to help troops call home by donating their gently used cell phones. Cell phones can be donated to the chiropractic office at 6125 W. Chandler Blvd., Suite 4, Chandler. “As a U.S. vet, I know the importance and the joy of being able to call home when you are deployed,” Dr. Greg Hauser says. “We’re proud to show our support for U.S. soldiers and to contribute to a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers.” The charity was founded in 2004 by teenagers Robbie and Brittany
Bergquist at the ages of 12 and 13. It has provided 192 million minutes of free talk time to servicemen and women stationed around the world. Funds raised from the recycling of cellular phones are used to purchase prepaid international calling cards. On average, Cell Phones for Soldiers distributes 12,000 calling cards each week to bases around the world, care package programs, deployment ceremonies and VA hospitals. “Each year we have been
humbled by the amount of people and organizations like Great Choice Chiropractic that take the initiative to support our troops,” Brittany says. “The communication gap between those serving and their families is a crucial need that Cell Phones for Soldiers is committed to addressing for years to come.” For every donated phone valued at $5, Cell Phones for Soldiers is able to provide two and a half hours of free talk time to deployed troops.

Consumers now have a way to recycle coffee capsules Coffee drinkers with single-serve Nespresso or illy iperEspresso machines now have a way to keep their used coffee capsules out of the local landfill. Sur La Table stores nationwide have recycling receptacles for both brands, while Williams-Sonoma accepts Nespresso at select locations. In addition to the retail recycling option, Nespresso consumers can send their used capsules directly to TerraCycle by joining the Nespresso Brigade on terracycle.com. Illy consumers can recycle directly through illy by using the pre-paid return shipping label provided to them when their capsule orders are shipped out. The capsules are sent to recycling pioneer TerraCycle. The leftover coffee inside the capsules will be sent to an industrial composting facility while the actual packaging from the capsule will be recycled into a variety of new products. “Since curbside recycling is not an option for the capsules, it is great that illy and Nespresso have worked with their key retail accounts to give consumers a way to recycle the used capsules where they purchase new ones,” TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky says. “It’s extremely important to consider the environmental impact of our daily coffee habits and make a difference where you can.”

Lions help vision causes The Sun Lakes Breakfast Lions Foundation is looking for new members to help with two service projects. Six Sun Lakes Breakfast Lions were recently certified by Arizona to be visions screeners, and they want to put their expertise—and new vision technology—to good use. Vision disability is a leading disabling condition among children and seniors. Blindness and vision impairment in children and older adults is often overlooked, and an undiagnosed or untreated vision disorder may leave a child behind in the classroom. Better treatment can be achieved through early detection. However, fewer than 22% of preschool children currently receive any vision screening. New technology like autorefractors might help significantly. A recent study revealed that photoscreening was superior to traditional vision screening in the pediatric office in detecting preschool-aged children and seniors with amblyopia—also known as “lazy eye,” characterized by an inability to distinguish details—or its risk factors. However, one autorefractor costs over $7,000, so financial support is needed. If you would like to become a Lion and help with this project or would like more information, contact Betty Manovsky at 480-895-6512 or the Sun Lakes Breakfast Lions Foundation at 480-252-4356. Donations are also accepted to help purchase this equipment by sending a check to SLBLF at P.O. Box 13352, Chandler, AZ 85248. Checks marked “VISION” will ensure
READING GLASSES: Lions Club member Joyce Davey reads glasses to be sent to Philippines. Submitted photo
100% of the money donated will go to purchasing an autorefractor.
Eyeglasses collected, clean and read Volunteers are also needed for the Eye Glass Collection, Cleaning and Reading project. Members meet the second Thursday of each month in the Arts and Crafts Room, Sun Lakes Country Club, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to clean glasses and prepare them for reading. Reading is done in a Lions home, at their convenience, on a Lens Master. Eyeglass collection and preparation for foreign missions is one of the main projects of Arizona Lions. Thousands of pairs of Arizona glasses have been sent to Jamaica, the Philippines, Honduras, Haiti, Ghana and five other nations around the world. Sun Lakes Breakfast Lions Club collected, cleaned and read over 50,000 pairs of glasses just last year. To help with this project call Joyce Davey at 602-449-1268 or the SLBLC at 480-252-4356.

Neighborhoods join in sale, Girl Scouts ask for help Three southeast Chandler communities of are coming together this weekend for a communitywide garage sale. Brooks Ranch, Old Stone Ranch and Quail Springs are hosting a garage sale covering the three neighborhoods, which include more than 1,000 homes, Sat., Nov. 2, and Sun., Nov. 3. The garage sale begins at 7 a.m. at Old Stone Ranch off Ocotillo Road, west of Lindsay Road, at Quail Springs west of Old Stone Ranch on Ocotillo Road, before Gilbert Road and at Brooks Ranch off Gilbert Road, south of Ocotillo Road, approximately 1/4 mile north of Chandler Heights Road. Girl Scout Daisy Troop 1793 will join in this year, and will set up at the main entrance to Old Stone Ranch on Saturday, to participate as both a fundraiser and a learning opportunity. Half of their earnings will go toward their year-end event and the other half will be donated to Friends for Life Animal Rescue as the troop supports animals through their “3 Cheers for Animals” efforts.
The Daisy Troop also welcomes gently used items for the Stuffed with Love Boutique, a yearly event created by a sister Girl Scout troop. The scouts collect, sort and deliver items to Improving Chandler Area Neighborhoods, an organization that provides free after school care to kids in need. ICAN children are invited to pick a few gifts for their family members and one for themselves. Their gifts are wrapped by Girl Scouts and volunteers. The boutique provides about 1,500 presents to more than 220 kids, many of whom would otherwise go without holiday gifts. Clean stuffed animals, toys, games, puzzles, jewelry, unopened lotions, unused gift soaps, books, DVD/ VCR movies, music CDs, small miscellaneous gift items, gift boxes, holiday wrapping paper and gift bags are all welcome for donation. Furniture and clothing are not accepted. Contact Tracie Younce at nvdaisy1793@hotmail.com or Old Stone Ranch Social Committee at OSRsocialcommittee@cox.net with any questions.

Positive messages encourage children’s author BY MEGHAN MCCOY
Lynn Lusch published her first children’s book on Sept. 6, 2013—two decades after she began writing it. Twenty years ago, the Chandler resident says in order to get a book printed, she had to mail “Millie’s Lost Adventure� to a publishing company, hoping someone would receive it, read it and enjoy the storyline. Unfortunately, it did not happen and the book was placed on the back burner. “I forgot about it,� Lusch says. Her beloved story about Lindsey, a 7-year-old girl, and the secondgrade classroom pet hamster, Millie, resurfaced this year. She researched Amazon.com and discovered she could self-publish books. She began working with her daughter, Randi Gause, a technical publication editor for NASA, to prepare it for the Kindle version on Amazon. “I pulled the book back up and updated it and she (Gause) put it on there (Amazon),� Lusch says. “She is phenomenal. I couldn’t do it without her.� Lusch can relate to the story. The mystery includes an underlying lesson of never giving up. She said if one child reflects on what Lindsey did to find Millie after a macaw squeals and sets the hamster running, she will have succeeded in her mission. Lusch’s books encourage youngsters
to think out of the box. She wants the readers to think “we can throw the ball a different way� to get an outcome instead of thinking “that’s the way the ball bounces.� She decided to incorporate positive thinking into her series, “Lynn’s Girls,� which targets 6 to 8 year olds, because of her life experiences. She was in a horrible crash that caused extreme migraines for five years. Thanks to books she read, she was able to beat the migraines due to a change in thinking. Lusch says she wishes she always thought positive and had role models who encouraged her to do so. “When I was growing up it was, ‘Hey, that’s the way it goes or things happen,’� Lusch says. “If someone says keep thinking right, keep thinking positive, I think it would have helped a lot in different areas. I want to get across a positive attitude and positive thinking. I’m a big believer in that philosophy.� Lusch and her daughter spent four hours designing the cover of “Millie’s Lost Adventure,� and chose the format and font. It immediately went online. “And then my mind started going and I had another story,� Lusch said. “The books are always in my head. I will have the whole book together in my head, then I type it out.� Her imagination continued with her second book “Chloe Where Are You?� It takes readers on another adventure, as Lindsey sets out to find her 6-month-
SELF-PUBLISHED CHILDREN’S AUTHOR: Children’s author Lynn Lusch published her ďŹ rst book in September with the help of her daughter, Randi Gause, who edited the tome. Her fourth “Lynn’s Girlsâ€? series book will hit Amazon.com in early November. Submitted photo
old puppy who is lost. The underlying message of this book, which was published Sept. 12, is the community coming together to help find the puppy. Lusch’s imagination took shape when her two daughters were growing up. “When they were little, I was able to be an at-home mom for a good part of their (formative years) and then I went to work,� she says. “I was able to volunteer a lot at their schools. I paid attention and got an idea for something.� Although her daughters are now in their 30s, working in a dental
office during the week triggers her imagination. Her third book, “Lauren’s Angel,� was published on Amazon on Sept. 30. In this book, Lindsey visits her sister in the hospital, although it makes her anxious. It has a happy ending, like the rest of the series. Her fourth and fifth books of the series are coming together. Lusch explains the fourth book, “Lindsey and the Christmas Puppy,� will come out on Nov. 14 and the fifth book will be released after Christmas. “My dream is to have followers and have kids wait for the next book,� she says. The books are approximately 30 pages. They are easy reads for children who wish to read the story by themselves, or for parents who want to read it to their kids. All of the books can be purchased on Amazon.com for $2.99. Meghan McCoy is the Neighbors and Business section editor for the SanTan Sun News. She can be reached at meghan@santansun.com.

the state to help us raise funds to find a cure and provide expanded services and programs for the estimated 8,000 women, men and children with MS in Arizona,” says Arizona Chapter President of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Jim Elfline. “Nearly everyone knows someone directly affected or impacted by MS and we know that there are many people in Arizona who don’t know that they may have the disease or where to go if they do. Events like Walk MS and Bike MS help raise awareness about the disease and the support systems that are available.” For information contact Senior Development Manager Lisa Clearly at 480-455-3954 or email her at lisa. clearly@nmss.org.
Traffic is shifted to the west side of Gilbert Road, one lane in each direction, from approximately Mead Drive to just south of the Gilbert Road/Ocotillo Road intersection. Electrical crews are installing conduit for future street lights in the east side of Gilbert Road working in a northerly direction from Brooks Farm Road to the RWCD Canal (just south of Ocotillo Road). Traffic near the RWCD crossing under Gilbert Road, just south of Ocotillo Road, is shifted to the west side of Gilbert Road on temporary asphalt as crews work to construct the east half of the RWCD box culvert. The new RWCD box culvert is being constructed just south of the existing box culvert, one-half at a time to be able to maintain traffic on Gilbert Road. Crews will be forming and tying rebar to prepare for pouring of concrete of the box culvert floor. Once the floor of the box is complete, crews will work to form, tie and pour the
walls and deck for the east half of the box culvert. It is anticipated this work on the east half of the box culvert will take another 4 to 5 weeks. Tentatively scheduled to begin Nov. 11 through late January, Ocotillo Road east of Gilbert Road will be closed for crews to construct improvements to the RWCD canal where it crosses Ocotillo Road (just east of Gilbert Road) as part of the project. This work is being scheduled to prepare for the significant work which will coincide with a planned RWCD dry-up of the canal tentatively scheduled for December. More information will be provided as that work schedule is developed. Be cautious when driving through the construction zone, and continue to patronize local businesses during construction. For comments or concerns regarding the project, visit GilbertRoadImprovements.com or call 480-898-4100.
