iki culture is experiencing a renaissance in the East Valley, and a surprising variety of enthusiasts are taking a dive into the midcentury decor. Take Mesa resident Pierre Mosley, who after another stressful overnight shift as a tower controller at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport likes nothing more than retreating to his backyard tropical oasis and unwinding by firing up his chainsaw and How Tikis came carving castaway to the East Valley palm tree trunks – Page 10 into towering Tiki statues. Classic Tiki “My job’s very cocktail recipes stressful,” Mosley – Page 10 says, “and I needed to find ways to leave the stress at work and not bring it home.” He found the answer, he says, in Tiki. Tiki came to the East Valley in the 1960s, when Hawaiian décor was all the rage. Not everyone could make it to the middle of the Pacific in those days, so what became known as “Desert

No charges for Mesa officer in 2015 shooting death RALPH ZUBIATE TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
No charges will be filed against Mesa Police Officer Dustin Gransee in a 2015 shooting death, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery announced. “After a thorough review of the evidence, including video from a body-worn camera, my office has determined that the decision to use lethal force was permitted under Arizona law,” Montgomery said. Witnesses called 911 on Dec. 3, 2015, after seeing Ivan Krstic banging a metal bar on a neighborhood sidewalk, trying to lift manhole covers and behaving erratically. When Mesa police responded, Krstic refused to put down the spiked steel bar, and began moving toward them. Officers shot a Taser at Krstic, who fell but pulled the probes out of his skin. He then pulled a knife as police retreated. Grabbing the metal bar again, he moved toward officers. Officer Gransee fired two rounds, hitting Krstic in his chest and right arm. Krstic was transported and pronounced dead at Scottsdale Osborn Hospital.
East Valley I-10 work included in grant application TRIBUNE REPORT
The Arizona Department of Transportation has applied for $109.5 million in grants to improve traffic flow between Phoenix and Tucson. Part of that would go to Interstate 10 improvement in the East Valley. With the grant money, ADOT would conduct preliminary engineering and complete an environmental analysis for widening 27 miles of I-10 to three lanes in each direction between the Loop 202 Santan Freeway and approximately SR 387 in Casa Grande. Any plan to widen I-10 through the Gila River Indian Community would require an agreement with the tribal government.

Tiki-rich developments

Polynesian” style rose out of the Sonoran, giving rise to Tiki-flavored hotels, restaurants, beverages and home décor. These days, most Tiki-inspired style in the East Valley has moved out to the pool. But there are those who, like Mosley, continue to embrace the heritage—reviving it and even finding other Tiki lovers to join for celebrations of their island-style adoration. Beyond carvings, Mosley explains that he started wearing board shorts and flip flops. “I was trying to embrace that chill island lifestyle during my time off. That was fun, but it wasn’t enough. Now I’m in deep,” he says waving his arms across his half-acre property awash in lush landscaping, island décor and oversized Tiki sculptures. “Now you can see the tropics or the pool out of every window, even as soon as I open the front door. Not to mention there’s a big six-foot Tiki with about 40 hours worth of work on it.” A few miles south, and a dozen steps below the streets of downtown Chandler, more Tiki fans can be found sipping tropical tipples inside a bar in a onceabandoned storage cellar at the historic Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort. Look for an unmarked door behind the Crust pizzeria and then head downstairs to The Ostrich. The name is a nod to the East Valley city’s famed feathered friends.
of The Ostrich. In other words, don’t look to your local Tiki bar for a lesson on the indigenous Polynesian people, or Maori, and their belief that Tiki was the first man. That’s why most Pacific Island cultures created ceremonial “Tiki” masks and statue markers. Instead, according to the Arizona architecture tome, “Modern Marvels,” today’s Tiki culture was cooked up in the 1930s by a couple of competing California restaurateurs and raconteurs, Don The Beachcomber (started by Ernest Gantt) and his late-arriving but better known rival, Vic “The Trader” Bergeron. Tiki didn’t flood into the Valley until the early 1960s, when “Tiki culture took hold in Scottsdale with Trader Vic’s and in Phoenix with the Islands Lounge, Samoan Village Motor Hotel and Kon Tiki Hotel and Restaurant,” the book recounts. The trend in the Valley was fueled by splashy stunts, like John Wayne flying in from Hollywood with a live cheetah in tow so he could host a charity fundraiser dinner at Trader Vic’s for his African safari movie, “Hatari.” Tiki mania soon spread to homebuilders in the East Valley.
Brandon Casey is beverage director of The Ostrich, and says it’s an homage to two famed midcentury classic Tiki bars: Don The Beachcomber’s and Trader Vic’s. Casey says The Ostrich serves a classic Don The Beachcomber Zombie and an authentic Trader Vic’s Mai Tai, “right down to the housemade orgeat,” or almond syrup.
Tiki housing returns
In Mesa, longtime local Realtor Katrina Deist-Zemar and her husband Arthur are also leading a two-person Tiki revitalization effort, even if they don’t exactly consider themselves fans. “We fell in love with the wide streets, tall trees, living right off the golf course and a lake, and only wanted to buy in this subdivision,” she says. As the proud homeowners of one of the few remaining examples of the East Valley’s 1960s Tiki architectural obsession, they’ve grown accustomed to the small but steady stream of Tiki lovers taking pictures from their cars or hopping out to pose in front of their thatch hut-style carport. “It really feels like an island paradise with the lake and green grass and the large glass sliding doors,” Deist-Zemar says of the Tiki home they’ve been restoring by hand for the past three years. “Retro homes like this are really neat. It reminds
me a bit of Palm Springs.” So what exactly is Tiki, and why was it so popular here in Arizona, and much of the world, before drying up almost completely in the 1970s and ’80s? Enter Don the Beachcomber “What we call ‘Tiki’ is actually an American invention that we then exported to the world, rather than the other way around,” says Brandon Casey
Pierre Mosley carved this Tiki in his backyard. “My job’s very stressful,” Mosley says, “and I needed to find ways to leave the stress at work and relax at home.” (Tim Sealy/Tribune contributor)
Today this legacy lives on in developments such as the still existing Kon Tiki Mobile Home Village in Chandler and Mesa’s now demolished Hawaiian Family Mobile Home Park. But the real true treasure trove for Tiki fans is undoubtedly the Apache Country Club Estates, a remarkably well-preserved stretch of midcentury homes skirting the verdant Arizona Golf Resort at the southwest corner of Broadway and Power Roads in east Mesa. “Back in the 1960s, this neighborhood was filled with high rollers like doctors and lawyers, so the homes were often custom built and very well constructed,” Deist-Zemar says. “Apache Country Club was never intended to be Tiki themed,” Swann says. “It offered both ranch homes and what they called character ranches, which were in styles and shapes ranging from cowboy or Western to Polynesian or Tiki. There were also English Tudors and Swiss chalets.” Many of the original owners stayed on for decades, preserving the classic character of the neighborhood, Swann says. “Many of the homes are just now getting second owners, and they have very original 1960s interiors like shag carpeting and built-in cabinets. It’s like a time capsule.” A time capsule that young

people seem ready to rediscover. “I’ll tell you the neighborhood is getting younger, and they are mostly fixing things up and keeping the original look,” says neighborhood resident Brian Cox. He recently relocated to a midcentury modern home. A new empty nester along with his wife, he says, “It’s good to see people taking more pride in ownership.” “Honestly, it was the cheapest house we could find in a nice area and a very convenient location,” says Asaka Dopp, another neighbor who recently moved into a Tiki-style home with her husband Brittan and their young child. Dopp says she quickly realized her home’s cult following when, “a couple came by and weretaking pictures, and they said they loved Tiki and our house.” Will they keep the Tiki look when they remodel? “It’s very 1960s. We want to turn the carport into a garage, but overall I think we’ll keep it. It’s cool.”

design professor Alison King says. King runs the respected architecture website ModernPhoenix.net. “I suspect the reason Tiki died out was it was such a strong style—you either loved it or hated it. It was perhaps too exuberant as the 1970s progressed to a more reserved and darker time in Phoenix history, and the architecture reflected that,” King says. Other than a brief revival in the ironyloving 1990s, Tiki has been mostly shoved to the background for the past few decades. But this rum-soaked subculture has continued to thrive underground. Today annual festivals like Tiki Oasis in San Diego and The Hukilau in Fort Lauderdale draw thousands of Tiki fans from across the nation, including Pierre Mosley, who also recently attended Pierre Mosley has collected dozens of Tiki-themed mugs. “I was trying to embrace that chill island lifestyle during the 8th annual Tiki Caliente in Palm my time off,” he says. “That was fun, but it wasn’t enough.

Google hiring ‘specialists’ in Chandler for driverless car Google is picking people to “drive” its driverless car. According to a job posting on Adecco, the company is hiring “vehicle safety specialists” to be a part of the Google self-driving car project. The company has already been testing its self-driving vehicles in Google’s hometown of Mountain View, California; in Austin, Texas; and in Kirkland, Washington. The project will take place in Chandler, where workers have been driving four Lexus RX450h SUVs for the past couple of months, creating a map of the streets before testing begins. “Specialists” will have to “drive” six to eight hours a day, meaning they must be ready to grab the wheel if necessary. They also have to be able to type 40 words per minute, collecting data for Google engineers. It’s a one- to two-year temporary assignment, paying $20 an hour. – ABC15

Classic Tiki cocktails
BY DAWSON FEARNOW TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR
T
iki culture in America grew from a couple of South Pacific-inspired “Bamboo Bars” into a worldwide tidal wave that landed upon locations as distant as Madrid, Spain and Mesa, Arizona. It all started with a World War, rode the rip-curl of Hawaiian statehood, and ultimately involved a fair amount of Tiki trickery from the Western states’ original tropical vacation destination, San Diego. According to Denver-based Tiki researcher Mike “Zulu” Skinner, Tiki culture as we know it is all thanks to a holy trinity of California-based restaurateurs that he calls The Three Kings of Tiki: Donn Beach, Vic Bergeron and Stephen Crane. Despite being born in Texas, Donn Beach (aka Ernest Gantt) is considered the grandfather of Tiki culture, thanks to his innovative series of South Pacificstyle “Bamboo Bars” called Don The Beachcomber. The bars, the first of which opened in 1933, featured nauticalinspired décor and potent tropical tipples served in silly glassware. Next came the equally self-invented Vic Bergeron, who opened the competing Trader Vic’s in 1937, and is credited with inventing the Mai Tai cocktail, as well as popularizing the use of carved wooden Tiki masks and totem poles. Finally, it was the failed movie actor Stephen Crane who launched a series of soaring Tiki temples named the Kon Tiki, which popularized over-the-top decor such as flowing waterfalls, wallsized stone Moai statues (think Easter Island heads) and colorful salt-water aquariums built right into the walls. In fact, the Kon Tiki in Tucson (built in
1963) was directly inspired by Crane’s restaurants and is still considered one of the finest remaining examples of midcentury Tiki mania. That said, Tiki didn’t really take off until the 1950s and ’60s, when WWII veterans returned home from far-flung postings across the Pacific with a newfound love for all things Polynesian. Then in 1959, Hawaii became America’s 50th state, exposing a whole new generation of tourists to Tiki staples such as tropical drinks, exotic foods, flaming Tiki torches and Hula girls in grass skirts. However, America’s original warmweather getaway, San Diego, wasn’t about to take this new competition lying down. According to the popular Tiki Architecture blog: “In the mid 1960s, the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau (CONVIS) viewed Hawaii as a major tourism competitor. In response, starting in 1964 CONVIS began a deliberate and well-funded strategy that lasted into the early 1970s to market San Diego as a closer-to-home, budget version of this American ‘paradise.’” Soon, a number of hotels, motels and even boat-tels for vacationing yachtsmen sprang up in and around Mission Bay and Shelter Island. More important, “Phoenix was viewed by CONVIS as a prime market for this tourism campaign and they spent significant advertising dollars in Phoenix.” And, wouldn’t you know it, local restaurateurs and homebuilders jumped on the phenomenon. By the mid 1960s, Tiki bars, Tiki hotels and even swooping Polynesian-style homes were appearing from Mesa and Chandler to Tucson and Tempe.
Micah Olson, Okra Cookhouse & Cocktails and Bar Crudo
A Chandler resident, Olson says, “Tiki is shrouded in mystery. Many of the classic recipes are incredibly complex and involve dozens of house-made, often obscure ingredients. But as you dive deeper into the craft behind the drinks, you realize each ingredient plays a role. These complex recipes make Tiki drinks a bit of an art, as well as a way to make sure people couldn’t duplicate your recipes.” That said, Micah doesn’t mind sharing the recipe for his Tiki-inspired Cannonball Rum with Tribune readers.

C
lassic Tiki culture was literally born in a bar, as most point to Don The Beachcomber’s first bar in 1933 as kick-starting a tropical cocktail craze that’s now more than 80 years old. Now as new generations discover the joys of handcrafted cocktails, classic Tiki drinks are experiencing a tasty revival. Here are three classic recipes from local bartenders and Tiki experts.
Brandon Casey, The Ostrich
“There’s a common misperception that that Tiki drinks are overly sweet. True Tiki drinks are rather well balanced and thought out, brimming with contrasting flavors and aromatics and a nutty rather than sweet aftertaste. We use ingredients like orgeat or almond syrup, and spices like nutmeg and even sherry, which has a dry almost nutty flavor. Trader Vic’s Mai Tai 1 oz. Puerto Rican rum (think Bacardi-esque) 1 oz. quality dark rum (we use Hamilton’s demerara from Guyana) 3/4 oz. orange-infused cognac or dry curaçao (we use Grand Marnier) 3/4 oz. orgeat (the quintessential Tiki almond syrup, available at fine liquor stores)
3/4 oz. Hamilton 151 Rum 3/4 oz. Brugal 1888 Rum 3/4 oz. Cappelletti 1/2 oz. Lustau Oloroso sherry 1/2 oz. Demarara (or turbinado) syrup (available at fine liquor stores) Combine all ingredients in mixing glass, shake with ice for six seconds. Strain into ice-filled rocks glass and garnish with dehydrated lemon slice.
Josh James, The Clever Koi
“At The Clever Koi in Phoenix—and coming this fall to Gilbert—we offer three Tiki drinks: the Scorpion bowl, the classic Trader Vic’s Zombie and a Mai Tai made with Mescal instead of the traditional two types of rum. There’s a fun tonguein-cheek, vacation vibe. When that Scorpion bowl hits the table, garnished with fresh fruit and colorful umbrellas and mini mermaids and flamingos and a hollowed out, flaming lime, it sparks a conversation. Scorpion Bowl (Kelbo Version) 2 oz. Fords Dry Gin 2 oz. Maison Rouge Cognac 2 oz. Skipper Dark Demerara Rum 2 oz. orange juice 2 oz. passionfruit juice 1 1/2 oz. lime juice 1 oz. orgeat syrup Serve over crushed ice in a Scorpion bowl, garnish with slice oranges, mint crowns, Tiki umbrellas and a hollowed out lime half, filled halfway with 151 rum and lit on fire.

Brothers’ fishing gadget snags finalist status on TV show
BY SHELLEY RIDENOUR TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
T
hey rap, they invent, they fish, they have full-time jobs and they’re finalists in a contest to win $1 million for their fishing bobber design. Two East Valley brothers are among five finalists on the TV show “America’s Greatest Makers.” The winner gets announced when the show airs on TBS Tuesday, May 24. Depending on your TV provider, the show airs at different times in the Valley, but TBS says it airs at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. Their invention, the PowerBobber, is a fishing bobber loaded with an Intel computer chip, a motor, batteries, modules and gears that roll a fishing line through. Brothers Gavin and Bryce Stevens are fairly protective of the single operating prototype they currently possess. It’s a 3-D-printed red, white and blue bobber, shaped somewhat differently than the bobbers people typically use. They’ve refined the shape and inner workings multiple times and have a new design in the works right now. It’s a bit smaller, mushroom-shaped and will hold less

since they’ve refined the operating system. The PowerBobber was born of frustration, Gavin said. Last Sept. 17, he was fishing at Fool Hollow Lake near Show Low. He got tired of waiting for a fish find the bobber where he had placed the bait. “Normal bobbers can’t go up or down,” Gavin said. He wanted to fish deeper, but the bobber was stuck at one depth. Short of reeling the line back in, adjusting the bobber and recasting, that’s the game when you bobber fish. So, standing on the shore of the lake,
after three days of no luck catching fish, he had an idea. Why not create an adjustable bobber that can be controlled by an app that can be downloaded to a smartphone or a smartwatch? So, Gavin and Bryce did that. Gavin owns a software company, Solid Cloud, and is a software consultant. He’s a member of the Phoenix Internet of Things meet-up group. He shared his PowerBobber idea with that maker group and other members encouraged him to try to get accepted for the TBS show. Essentially, he said, he and Bryce went to California to meet with the show’s producers “with a bobber and plans and sold them” on the idea. Via the app, an angler can lower or raise the bobber, and therefore the bait, while the line is in the water. You can jig the bait via your phone or watch, too, he said. When a fish bites, the controlling device shouts “Woo hoo! You got a fish!” By virtue of being finalists on the show, the PowerBobber team has received $10,000 to invest into the product before the final decision is made.
Well, the winner has already been determined, but everyone associated with the show is sworn to secrecy about the outcome, and faces a massive fine if they say a peep about it. “You’ll just have to watch the show,” Bryce said. – Contact Shelley Ridenour at 480-898-6533 or sridenour@evtrib.com. – Check us out and like the East Valley Tribune on Facebook and follow EVTNow on Twitter.

Tears and laughter as Chandler eatery Brunchies closes down

T
hose famous fluffy biscuits and steaming-hot breakfast skillets flew out the kitchen doors like usual on a bright morning last Saturday at Brunchies in downtown Chandler. But this was nothing like business-asusual for the venerable cafe, which has been Chandler’s official water cooler and unofficial town hall for the past 35 years. It was Brunchies’ last day. And it felt like a wake— albeit one of those really good wakes, where the tears flow, for sure, but so do the laughs
and the good memories. As customers were seated, wait staff handed out permanent markers and invited folks to write their goodbyes on the walls. In the kitchen, co-owner Stephanie Serrano barked out orders like Gordon Ramsey. Working the front, Theresa Serrano stopped to give hugs to a rowdy table of ’70s-era Chandler High graduates. “Brunchies was the place we could always come to even as Chandler grew,” Glenna McCollum-Cloud said. “It’s going to be hard.” Like most customers, Leslie Saba Updike started coming to Brunchies as a kid with her
Former SanTan Sun News owner publishes book BY SHELLEY RIDENOUR TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
L
aurie Fagen, former owner of the SanTan Sun News, has published a crime fiction mystery novel titled “Fade Out.” Fagen, who lives in Fox Crossing, tells the story of Lisa Powers, a young radio reporter, who covers the crime beat for a fictional radio station in Chandler. Powers helps police solve cold cases and, for fun, creates a mystery theater podcast. The first podcast involves her coverage of a fire that destroyed the mansion of a reclusive pharmaceutical heir. Her career is jeopardized when the story gets too hot. From the dark streets of metro Phoenix to the peaceful red rocks of Sedona, Powers dodges bullets while investigating the cold case of a kidnapped bank executive found
murdered and discovers horrors she never imagined while tracking down a missing father. She finds herself facing down criminals as she reports on them. “As a former radio, television and print journalist, I never experienced gun battles or knife attacks during my career,” Fagen said. “And, unlike the news, which must be factual, I am finding great freedom in writing fiction.” Fagen owned the SanTan Sun News with her late husband, Geoff Hancock, until his death in 2013, when Times Media Group purchased the newspaper. Times Media also owns the East Valley Tribune. The book may be purchased at www. ReadLaurieFagen.com, on Fagen’s Amazon author page, amazon.com/author/lauriefagen or through the publisher, www.

dad. Norman Saba, along with his farming and merchant buddies, was such a regular that the Serranos honored him with a permanent booth, personalized with his picture. Kevin Hanger, seated at a table with sons Brooks, 10 months, and Graham, 3, said he wasn’t sure what they would do on Saturdays now. “It’s pretty sad. There are other places, but it’s not the same.” Kevin’s friends from Chandler and Hamilton High remembered how they’d gather at Brunchies before school and at lunchtime. “I used to come down here during second hour,” said Kyle Brown to great laughter. Taking a well-deserved break, Stephanie Serrano said most customers understood that diminishing revenues forced the painful business decision. She recalled meeting earlier in the day with former Chandler Mayor Jerry Brooks. “He used to come in during the week with a group called the Sunshine Boys. He said, ‘Now I know why people sometimes
don’t like change.’” Outside the restaurant at 17 E. Boston St., Tim and Michelle Waters, out with their daughter Katie and husband Wes Thomas, added their names to the waiting list and relaxed on a bench. Three of the four Waters children, including Katie, worked at Brunchies during high school. When two of her boys went off to join the Marines, Michelle said, the Serranos made a habit of covering the family’s bill. “And that went way beyond just us,” she added. “They were so supportive.” Hostess Kathy Wheelock poked her head out the door and called the Waters name. Michelle shrugged. “This was Chandler’s hometown breakfast place. Time goes on, I guess.

COMMENTARY
As Trump pivots to general election, Sanders has a choice to make BY BROOKS D. SIMPSON SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
T
he results of the Indiana primary settled the question of whether Donald J. Trump could secure the Republican presidential nomination. Anti-Trump Republicans are left to ponder whether they can stomach the prospect of supporting a man many of them despise and whose candidacy, they believe, presages disaster for the party’s political fortunes now and for the foreseeable future. If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, however, is that what once seemed impossible is now quite real. For Trump, the time has come to focus his fire not on his fellow Republicans but on his probable Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Can he redirect the anger his opponents displayed toward
his candidacy to target the Democrat so many of them hate with a consuming passion? Moreover, can Trump now manage the transition he has long promised he’d be able to make—that to becoming someone who looks and acts “presidential,” a thoughtful person who appeals to voters’ hopes while exercising personal restraint when it comes to engaging in less appealing vitriolic personal attacks? That will be hard. Part of Trump’s personal appeal among his supporters is that he taps into and expresses their crude anger and vivid resentments born of a deep frustration with the America they see. In attempting to broaden his support, he risks alienating the very people who made him what he is: the nominee of the Republican Party. A responsible, “presidential” Donald Trump is not the man who those
supporters wanted as their leader. Nor will it be an easy task to unify Republicans behind a Trump candidacy, at least with the enthusiasm and energy necessary for success in a general election. So-called outsiders have captured nominations before despite resistance from the party establishment, as the bases of Barry Goldwater and Jimmy Carter remind us. But the passions, anger and hatred displayed during the last several months will be hard to overcome, and Trump, unlike Goldwater and Carter, cannot lay claim to having been an active member of the party whose nomination he is about to claim. It may well be that Trump’s greatest ally in broadening his support is Bernie Sanders. The Vermont senator can’t quite give up his crowds yet, and he continues, in a slightly more temperate way, to
assail his rival for the Democratic nomination. Sanders asserts that he will do all he can to defeat Donald Trump … but more Hillary-bashing only helps Trump and complicates the efforts of the former secretary of state to turn her attention to her presumptive opponent in the general election. Like Trump, Sanders portrays himself as a virtuous, principled outsider who won’t compromise on matters of right and wrong as he sees them. Unless he sets aside his crusade, however, Sanders’ love of the spotlight, cheers and applause can only damage Clinton’s chances of defeating Trump. Bernie, you have a choice to make. Good luck. – Presidential historian Brooks D. Simpson is ASU Foundation Professor of History at Arizona State University, where he teaches at Barrett, The Honors College.
Fractured memories of an uncle and a missed relationship BYDAVID LEIBOWITZ TRIBUNE COLUMNIST
T
he sad news came Tuesday morning in a crackly telephone call from across the country, and even as my mother got out the words I struggled to form a mental image of the subject of our conversation: “Your Uncle Mel,” as my mother has always called him. I can’t remember the last time I saw the man, what we did, what he looked like. I can only summon fragments. He went bald early. He has tan skin. He has slightly crooked teeth, or maybe I’m imagining that. He and my father, brothers, share the same eye color, a brown as deep as chocolate. The only mental image I can form of my uncle is him as a much younger man, maybe his early forties, younger than I am today. But the man my mother is talking about, my father’s brother on life support in a south Florida intensive care
unit, is 74 years old. This is I cannot picture, in the same way I cannot picture my uncle beaten down by Parkinson’s disease or found the way his wife found him sometime Monday, in the family swimming pool, face down and lifeless. My mother, ever the registered nurse, even in retirement, lists the damage: “They have him intubated in the ICU. He’s in a coma. There’s no sign of any brain activity. Your father and I and your brother will probably go back to the hospital later.” The cellphone call dropped then, just blipped away. The thought occurred to me that maybe this fits, the call vanishing in the same way as my relationship with my uncle, his wife and my three cousins once vanished. If asked, I couldn’t say why. There was no sign of trouble, no conflict. Some things just happen. All day, I inventory everything I can remember about my uncle. He grew up in the Bronx, but left for Florida long before my parents moved there. He
changed his last name from Leibowitz long ago, though I have no idea why. He worked as a pharmacist. He owns a house in Sunrise. He has a wife named Jeannie. He has two daughters, Tara and Beth, and a son named Jason. Sometimes, back when I was in high school, my father and my brother and I would drive north and my uncle and his son would drive south, and we’d meet and play doubles racquetball on some concrete courts at a community college. My uncle wasn’t very good, as I remember it, but he seemed to enjoy the game. Then he and Jason would climb back into his car, a new Toyota sedan, and drive back to their lives. Now my uncle rests in a hospital bed and I sit at a keyboard 2,000 miles away, typing sad words on a blank page, trying to describe the gnawing void in the pit of my stomach, my flickering sense of loss. Not the loss of a man I will miss, but of a relationship missed entirely, missed as in a shot fired way wide of the mark. All
I know about my uncle can be contained in one paragraph, even though he shares my blood, even though I know from baby pictures that he once held me in his arms and rocked me gently, smiling down. Now the life has seeped out of him, leaving behind only a few thoughts, the last of which is this: They say family is blood. I say family is more than that. It is knowledge, sharing, proximity, connection. They say it’s sad when you miss the chance to say goodbye. I say it’s sadder still when you never really said hello. – David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Obama should ban offshore oil drilling The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is considering a five -year plan to sell off 92.2 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico, plus additional land in the Arctic, for oil and gas drilling. This is a bad idea, and I’ll tell you why: On May 12, as BOEM was holding a hearing on the plan in New Orleans, an accident at an underwater pipe system connecting four oil wells in the Gulf created a huge oil slick reported to be almost 90,000 gallons. The pipelines in question are owned by Shell, and are only 50 miles farther from the shore than the BP Disaster. Residents near the Gulf coast routinely find tar balls on Gulf beaches from previous spills. Tapping the eighth-largest carbon reserve on Earth would be a disaster for our climate and increase the chances of another oil spill like the BP disaster. According to the Coast Guard’s National Response Center, the oil industry has thousands of accidents in the Gulf of Mexico every year, and many of them under-report the volume of oil spilled or its real cost on Gulf communities. The Gulf region has been used as a pollution sacrifice zone for decades. From Keystone’s southern leg to new oil and gas export facilities, too often the Gulf of Mexico gets the drilling, spilling and pollution of the oil and gas industry. To add insult to injury, companies like BP, Exxon and Shell can often lease public lands like the ones BOEM is proposing to auction in this plan for as little as $2 an acre. And with up to 894 million barrels of oil and as much as 3.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas on the auction block, you can bet the bureau’s lease plan will attract plenty of bidders.
But leases like this are what led to the 2010 BP Horizon oil spill, which President Obama called the “worst environmental disaster America has ever faced.” A group of 66 members of Congress has written to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and asked them to cancel plans to lease more land offshore in the Arctic for oil and gas drilling for good. There are lots of reasons to ban drilling in the remote, cold and unpredictable waters of the Arctic. But when we talk about keeping fossil fuels in the ground, we have to talk about all fossil fuels. Thanks to a massive public outcry, Obama already reversed course on plans to drill off the Atlantic Coast, and recently placed a moratorium on new coal mining on public lands. Citizens can send a comment until June 7, 2016, to tell BOEM that we want to Keep It In the Ground by blocking new oil and gas leases in the Gulf, too. To stop climate change, save our coasts (all three of them) and save life on earth, including us humans, we need to keep 80 percent of fossil fuels in the ground and finance a just transition to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. – Drena LaPointe – Scottsdale

site viewpoint. For instance, the Aral Sea didn’t dry up because of global warming but because its water supply was used upstream for new agriculture and development. Now, USA Today seems to have taken up Gore’s mantle. The article headline “Climate change hurts Vietnamese farmers” (4/24/16) belies the actual content of the article which fails, but strives mightily, to connect climate change to the changing ecology of the Mekong Delta. The article admits to the following without presenting a single contributing factor that would indicate global warming: The drought is caused by El Nino affecting the entire region. This year is not a special case. The severity of the impact of weather is because the ecosystem was changed by humans, mostly via continuing upstream hydroelectric dam building. As is consistent with human behavior, Vietnam is adapting, as will the rest of the world. An honest discussion of the facts would make it easier. Nature has had its chance to kill off humans. It won’t succeed now. –Jim Barber –Mesa
Simple solution to Arizona’s election woes The March 22nd Presidential Preference Election exposed many problems with our outdated and inefficient paper voter registration process that led to thousands of voters casting provisional (and uncounted) ballots. There is a solution that will upgrade the voting system to ensure all eligible votes are counted and that nobody votes who isn’t eligible. Automatic voter registration would place eligible voters onto the rolls electronically when they receive or renew a driver’s li-
cense, get a state identification card, or interact with another state agency. Arizona has already proven to be cutting-edge; we were the first in the nation to begin online voter registration, and we have a strong vote-by-mail program through the Permanent Early Voting List. However, 2014 was the worst year for voter turnout in Arizona since World War II. That should be unacceptable because high voter turnout is essential for a strong a democracy. The current, outdated paper system makes it too easy for ineligible voters to slip through the cracks. By replacing our outdated paper system with a secure electronic voter registration system, we can automatically register only eligible U.S. citizens to vote. Electronic voter registration will protect the fundamental right of every eligible Arizonan—Democrat, Republican or independent—to have their vote counted. And it will ensure that those who find it a challenge to vote, including people with disabilities, senior citizens and active military, are able to participate fully in our democracy. Electronic voter registration moves our outdated system into the 21st century. It is secure, accurate, and accessible. It saves Arizona money, prevents voter fraud, and makes registering to vote easier. Registering to vote should be an easy process for those eligible. Our state should join others that have made voter registration “automatic.” –Chris Herstam –Phoenix

Fifty Schwinn Carbon Blue spin bikes arranged on three tiers are aimed at the instructor and a couple of large TV screens at the CycleBar in Chandler, which opens in June. (Special to the Tribune)
Spin studio offers high-intensity workouts with plenty of amenities BY MIKE BUTLER TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
H
eather Myers thought she had seen and conquered every kind of high-intensity spinning workout there is. Then, her first 50-minute Performance ride at CycleBar left her doubled over and gasping for air. “It was a very humbling experience,” she said. But it was also the beginning of a journey that landed her as general manager of the new CycleBar at 2855 W. Ray Road in Chandler. The theater is where all the heartpounding action happens. Fifty Schwinn Carbon Blue spin bikes arranged on three tiers are aimed at the instructor and a couple of large TV screens. The bikes’ onboard computers keep track of your heart rate, RPMs, mileage and the amount of calories and watts you’re burning. Don’t worry about trying to memorize or scribble down your stats— they’ll be emailed to you about 15 minutes after the session. And if you take a fancy to the music you heard during the
workout, you’ll get a link to download the free track. Unseen and unheard are the multiple AC units that keep the theater’s air very cold and very clean. “That’s important when you have 50 people in here huffing and puffing,” owner Rod Reyes said. Although hardcore Type A’s will be attracted to the Performance workouts, where everyone can see in real time how they stack up with their fellow spinners, Reyes stressed that casual cyclers will also enjoy the studio. There are less intense 50-minute Classic sessions, as well as 30-minute Beginner classes. If you’d prefer an unplugged experience, sign up for the Connect workout. Most sessions slow down the cycling for a few minutes so participants can get an upper-body workout with four- or six-pound weights. In any case, you are always in control of your bike’s resistance level. Outside the theater, CycleBar takes on a bright, spa-like atmosphere. After entering the studio, guests mosey over
to one of three wall-mounted iPads to enter their names and get bike assignments. High quality Shimano shoes in all sizes are available for free, but you can also bring your own SPD- or LOGIKcompatible shoes. Rental shoes are thoroughly sanitized and blow-dried after each use, management says. Stow your belongings in a locker, then help yourself to fresh fruit and snacks. A specialized dispenser offers extra-cold or room-temperature water. Post-workout, take advantage of the four changing/shower rooms (two for men, two for women). If you need a robe, toiletries, a hair tie or a bag for your wet workout clothes, just ask. Reyes said all CycleBar franchisees are committed to helping local charities. Groups can organize a $100-per bike fundraiser, he explained, and pull in nearly $5,000 in 50 minutes if they sell out all 50 bikes. The store charges a small fee just to cover the cost of the instructor and the front-desk associates. “It’s a huge part of what we do,” he
said. “I’d like to do at least two a week.” A spin enthusiast himself, Reyes, who owns a string of Massage Envy and Sports Clips stores in New Mexico and Texas, said he began looking for a new business adventure mainly because he and his wife wanted to move back to the Valley. “She keeps sending me links to houses for sale in Chandler,” he said. “We’re excited.” During a 10-day grand opening starting June 10, East Valley residents are invited to tour the studio and enjoy a free workout. To take part in CycleBar’s grand opening, go to RaintreeRanch.CycleBar.com or Facebook.CycleBar.RaintreeRanch. com. Create an account and profile, then start booking rides. Reyes will open another CycleBar in Ahwatukee soon. There will eventually be eight studios in the Valley. – Reach Mike Butler at 480-898-6581 or at mbutler@timespublications.com. – Check us out and like the East Valley Tribune on Facebook and follow EVTNow on Twitter.

Staying power Spring sports season one to remember
BY JASON P. SKODA TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
U
nderdogs had their moments, unlikely stars emerged and display cases in the school hallways have to be rearranged to make room for the new hardware brought home. The spring sports season has come to an end and once again the East Valley cleaned up. The champions were from among the unexpected as lower seeds created havoc on brackets throughout the postseason.
Run amok
The Apache Junction baseball team put together an impressive offensive display on the way to the Division IV state title. The Prospectors scored 33 runs in four games (8.25 per game), including 10 in the state semifinals, to knock off topseeded and three-time defending champion Desert Christian. The win created a matchup with Joy Christian in the finals and some lateinning clutch play to pull off the first state title since 1983 and fourth overall. Nathan Rhodes’ single tied at 6 in the seventh, and then Audie Craig won it with an inside-the-park home run in the eighth inning on the way to a 9-6 win in Surprise. “These kids understand the game, and they know what momentum can do,” AJ coach Raymond Figueroa told reporters after the game. “I always had faith in my guys that they could do it. We’ve been doing it all year.”
Hamilton doubles up
Hamilton’s teams on the diamond pulled off a feat that has never been done before at the big-division level as the Huskies won both the baseball and
softball championships in the same year. The softball team, which was the fourth seed, topped No. 2 Pinnacle 3-0 when sophomore Madison Seigworth limited the Pioneers and did enough offensively to win its first state title. “I just let them play,” Hamilton coach Rocky Parra said. “They were nervous before, but once it started they settled in and played a great game.” It may not have happened if senior center fielder Nicole Spykstra didn’t get a great jump on a shot to center field with two runners on in the third inning. She tracked it down and kept the shutout intact “I’ll never forget this,” Spykstra said. “This team has worked to get to this point and we finally put it all together.” The Division I title game also swung on defense, and the Huskies took advantage of Mountain Ridge’s seven errors in a 12-3 win for the program’s fifth title. The biggest one coming in the fourth when Hamilton No. 9 hitter Chris Collins singled to center with the bases loaded. The center fielder Chase Sandman charged and had the ball skip past him to allow all three runners to score for Hamilton. The pitching combo of Cole Bellinger, who was lifted after a one hour and one minute lightning delay, and Zane Strand made it stand up. “It’s the best day of my life,” Bellinger said. “We won a state championship. It’s one of the greatest things you can do as a team.”
Rolling on (the greens)

The Trojans won easily, by 39 strokes, over Sedona Red Rock, but Mackie had to play well down the stretch. Mackie’s 36-hole score of 4-under par was three strokes better than Cody Goza of Blue Ridge. Mackie went ahead for good with a par on 14 to finish the last five holes one under. Valley Christian behind Mackie and Garrett DeFisser, who finished fourth at 1-over in the two-day event.
record, a five-set scare. The Pumas eventually lost 17-25, 25-17, 28-26, 25-21 to the Jaguars put not before making the program’s first state title appearance memorable. “I don’t think a lot of people thought we would get this far so it was really good to prove people wrong,” senior outside hitter Ethan Fillmore said. “And we fought. We fought really hard.”
Loving the new alignment
The Mountain View tennis programs brought home plenty of hardware. The girls team won the Division I team title, the second in school history, and Anya and Madeline Lamoreaux repeated as doubles champions. On the boys side of things, Jesse Miritello brought home the singles title by playing close of the net instead of the baseline. “He put the time and turned into a
Seton Catholic boys volleyball was rarely challenged during the regular season against Division II opponents, and it continued in the postseason. The Sentinels won the DII title in the first year of the second division.

Hiring procedure for coaches has many variables
THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | MAY 22, 2016
BY JASON P. SKODA TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
D
an Nero has less than a month to clear out a desk that has accumulated Corona del Sol memorabilia, history and memories. Nero is stepping down as athletic director after 31 years at the school. His final day is June 15. It appeared he’d have one last chance to make a big decision to shape the Corona coaching tree. The Aztecs need a football coach. The timing was anything but great, considering spring ball is already over and summer workouts and 7-on-7 passing tournaments will be in full bloom shortly. That’s why the Tempe Union announced on Wednesday that Richard Mettlach, the defensive coordinator last year, would be the interim head coach moving forward. The position will be reopened at the conclusion of the 2016 football season. Of course the search wouldn’t have been necessary if last year’s football coach, Corey Nenaber, wasn’t named Nero’s replacement. Instead of hurrying the process, the decision was to postpone until the proper amount of time can be taken. “We’ve gone through the processes and screened the applicants,” Nero said. “It’s been so crazy with finals, graduation and two-and-half weeks (as tournament director of state baseball) at Tempe Diablo. “There are just a couple of things more to do.” That no longer includes assisting Nenaber in finding a replacement. Hiring a coach comes with so many variables, it can make the process unpredictable. It can go smoothly with the No. 1 choice accepting the job. But that doesn’t happen as often as administration folks would like. Other times, a finalist can pull out for various reasons as the Desert Vista administration found out in their recent search for boys basketball. Then, there are scenarios when the process gets extended because the first round of applicants didn’t stir excitement among the administrators. Marcos de Niza and Mesa recently made such a move for the respective football openings. The Padres went with coaching legend Paul Moro in time for him to take his new program through spring ball, while the Jackrabbits were still looking for the right man as of deadline.
POWER from page 19 phenomenal serve and volley player,” Toros coach Kim Roberts said. “It really was the difference. It makes it hard and puts pressure on the opponent to hit passing shots or a perfect lob.”
Final heat
The Division I boys track meet came down to the final event as Chandler won the 4x400 to top Desert Vista 102-99. Top individual performers included Mountain Pointe’s Autumn Smith, Arete Prep’s Crystal Akpede, Seton Catholic’s Luke Zuluaga, Gilbert Christian’s Logan Pinkerton and Chandler Prep’s Donovan Fiore. – Contact Jason Skoda at 480-898-7915 or jskoda@evtrib.com.

“You want to be blown away by the applicants, and that doesn’t always happen,” Marcos athletic director Brian Fleming said. “As a society we tend to procrastinate so we were hoping for some late candidates. We didn’t get those so we extended the application deadline.” Mountain View had no such issues when a surprise opening came about. Former wrestling coach Bob Callison, who led the Toros to two state titles before finishing third last year, decided to move on to a new challenge of creating a program from scratch at Casteel, a school that opened this year with freshmen and sophomores. The applicants were aplenty with the administration going with highly successful coach Corey Anderson, who spent the last seven years running the Cleveland program in northern New Mexico. Anderson has seen the quality of wrestling in Arizona grow over the last decade as an assistant at Rio Rancho, which comes to the Peoria Invitational, and Cleveland, which competes in the Flowing Well Invite yearly. It was enough to get Anderson to leave a good situation where he helped guide Cleveland to three team titles, a runnerup and two fourth place finishes in his seven years. It was power by more than 60 state placers and 20 individual state champions. “Mountain View is a tremendous opportunity,” he said. “When a job opens up it is because there is a problem and the administration decided to make a move. That’s not the case here, obviously, as Mountain View is in a great place.
“I am at a good place, but every once in awhile you just need to accept a new challenge and recharge.” – Contact Jason Skoda at 480-898-7915 or jskoda@ evtrib.com. Follow him on Twitter @JasonPSkoda. – Check us out and like the East Valley Tribune on Facebook and follow VarsityXtra on Twitter.

Renaissance man
Singer Randy Blythe explores the arts outside of Lamb of God
Lamb of God, five-time Grammy nominees, pulled several influences together for the 2015 release of the heavy metal epic album “VII: Sturm Und Drang.” (Special to the Tribune) BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI GETOUT/TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
Randy Blythe enjoys fronting his metal band Lamb of God. However, that’s only one aspect of his creative side. “I’m really into all aspects of the arts,” says Blythe, whose band plays the Comerica Theatre on Friday, May 27. “Last year, I even composed music for the Richmond Ballet. I have a friend who’s a dancer and choreographer there. “There are a lot of changing ideas when the arts cross-pollinate.” The band, five-time Grammy nominees, pulled those influences together for the 2015 release of Lamb of God’s heavy metal epic album “VII: Sturm Und Drang.” The album is the first since Blythe was arrested in 2012 on a charge of manslaughter in the Czech Republic, for which he was later acquitted. During a

One notable exception is the “It’s a waste of time. Do something
with your life,” he said. “Social media can be a great tool. I did a walk for breast cancer with my wife. I used Twitter to raise funds. It worked really well, so the mechanism can be used for good things. Regrettably, it isn’t most of the time.” Indulging in the arts allows Blythe to gain a different perception on things. For example, a musician looks at something differently than a visual artist would. “Album art is just a throwaway, sadly,” he says. “Album art was so cool when it was on vinyl. I don’t expect those days to ever come back because I’m a realist.” Expanding on his art, the photographer, author and musician recently started the magazine “Unbuilt” with designer Tom Bejgrowicz and Alex Skolnick, the lead guitarist for Testament. The biannual, limited edition culture and lifestyle publication debuts this spring. “It’s a small magazine,” Blythe says. “It’s really focused on high-quality art, writing and photography.” Despite naysayers’ comments, Blythe doesn’t think that print media is dead. “I do think it’s changing, though,” he adds. “It’s getting smaller and only the really high-quality stuff is going to survive, sadly.” Because there are no ads, the “Unbuilt” staff is free to write just about anything, he says. “Quality work is disappearing along with critical thought. Everyone wants to read a story of 140 characters. That doesn’t leave much room for thought,” he said. “We wanted to do the magazine as a way to explore thought in a more extensive way.” Blythe keeps his life simple, as well as Lamb of God’s shows. “We don’t have elaborate stage props or dragons and wizards and Peter Pan flying,” he says with a laugh. “You can expect five ugly dudes up there playing heavy metal. That’s about it.” – Contact Christina Fuoco-Karasinski at 480-8985612 or christina@timespublications.com. – Check us out and like GetOutAZ on Facebook and follow GetOutAZ on Twitter.

‘Queen of Mean’ Lampanelli will do her shtick at Talking Stick BY MARSHALL TERRILL GETOUT/TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR
Lisa Lampanelli probably doesn’t want you to know this, but her shtick as comedy’s “Queen of Mean” is all an act. She’s actually a very nice and thoughtful lady. And a busy one. In addition to her stand-up work, the Grammy-nominated performer has worked nonstop for almost a decade. Her resume includes HBO and Comedy Central specials, comedy albums, feature films, television appearances and an original Broadway show. She’s also a frequent guest on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM satellite radio show. Lampanelli’s irreverent comedy and wild banter combines deeply personal bits with her trademark audience insults. The result gives her huge crossover appeal. She is this generation’s Don Rickles and greatly respected among her peers. The New York comedian, who turned 54 this year, took time out of her busy schedule to promote her upcoming show at Talking Stick Resort. Q: How did your years as a writer/reporter help shape you as a comedian? LL: You know what? I’m not so sure it helped shape me as a comedian. I just got so

Chandler drummer comes home with Beach Weather BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI GETOUT/TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
Chandler resident Austin Scates has a passion for music. The 24-year-old began playing drums as a child and has since parlayed that talent into a gig with Beach Weather, an alternative rock band fronted by former A Rocket to the Moon singer Nick Santino.

LAMPANELLI from page 22 was originally just too outrageous for them. So in the beginning it was straight guys and gay guys, and then the straight guys would bring their girlfriends. Gay guys would bring their partners, and now it’s a melding of straight, gay, lesbian, transgender, some older people sprinkled in and a lot of college kids. I’ve always been sort of proud that I didn’t just have a female audience. Q: You spent a fair amount of time with Donald Trump on “Celebrity Apprentice.” Does he have what it takes to be a president or should we fear him? LL: Man, I don’t know.

He was such a gentleman during “The Apprentice.” He kept me on the whole time and I have direct access to his family, so a part of me goes, ‘Wow, you can get some favors done now.’” Q: Can you see yourself performing one day at the White House for him?

SPIRITUAL SIDE
Take the challenge to live deeply in faith and in life n his younger days, my brother used to go caving or spelunking (love that word!) all the time. Personally speaking, I’m moderately claustrophobic and have an eye for the more useful modern conveniences like a comfortable bed to sleep in and a decent bathroom. Caving doesn’t appeal to me because of what it involves, like squeezing into dark corners, crawling through freezing water into yet another tunnel, and never really knowing whether there was a safe exit or not. Hmm, I’ll pass, thanks. However, the parallels and lessons to be learned from life radiate in many directions. Learning to reflect on our experiences, whether good or not so good, can lead us to stores of hidden treasure and new discoveries. Whenever we feel resistant to an opportunity, is there a spiritual parallel as well? Are we holding back in some aspect of our lives from living more deeply or more fully into the infinite heights and depths of God’s love
in Christ Jesus? Perhaps one way we can help ourselves is to remember that spelunkers usually plan to go into unknown territory, or risky locales, with a buddy or a guide. We can choose to walk alongside one another as spiritual partners or have a more formal mentoring relationship. It’s good to have someone to talk with. That’s why we have community in the body of Christ. There’s also our buddy and guide, the Holy Spirit. Access is wireless, and instantly available. In fact, the Holy Spirit knows us better than we know ourselves, and can lead the way in our spiritual explorations. We always have choices, and it pays to look at the pros and cons of our decision making and discernment. So here are some of the things we may lose out on if we fail to live from the abundance of God’s love, trusting God with our lives. We may well miss out on some amazing experiences, some incredible people, and some vision or insight into God or as God’s gift to us. We may miss the joy of a loving and compassionate encounter that feeds or blesses us. God only wants the very best for all of us,
and we often get multiple chances to be blessed by God. If you want the how-to or quick summary, then I’d say that living deeply is mostly about paying attention, being mindful, trusting God and learning to give up control. The summary may be short and sweet, but the reality is that it takes time, patience and practice to say “yes” to God in all the moments of our lives. In the meantime, there are plenty of distractions around. There’s also that fiery ball of stress or doubt, fear or anxiety that many of us live with on a constant basis. It can become so much a part of our lives that we’re scared to douse the flames, let the fire die, or give it up. It’s challenging to live deeply in relationship with God. It’s hard to surrender our fears and welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance into some of our dark and frightening places lying just below the surface of our lives. It’s good to remember that “perfect love casts out all fear” (1 John 4:18b). Ever since I first saw William Holman Hunt’s painting, The Light of the World, where Jesus is

holding a lantern and knocking on an overgrown and seldom used door, I’ve always loved the Biblical passages about Jesus as light. That perfect light cleanses and heals us, and provides a light for our path, every step of the way. That light lives within and among us. We can allow the light of Christ’s love to shine into all the dark nooks and crannies of our hearts and minds without fear, and discover healing and renewal. We’ll never know the fullness of God’s incredible blessings until we accept the challenge and begin to explore the vast unchartered territories of faith and life. God will light our paths, and the light of Christ will burst forth, burning brightly like a beacon in our lives, and the lives of all those we serve. As Jesus once said in a moment of terrible loss, “Do not fear, only believe” (Mark 5:36). That’s one of the greatest joys of living deeply. Take the challenge, live deeply. God’s blessings await. — The Rev. Susan E. Wilmot is Vicar at St. James the Apostle Episcopal Church and Preschool, 975 E. Warner Road, Tempe. Reach her at rector@stjamestempe.org or 480-345-2686.

Tips to Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale in Sun. & Wed. in our Yard Sale Special! 4. In the ad, include the type of sale, (ex: Yard Sale, MultiFamily Sale, Moving Sale) date, time, address/cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/ childrens clothes & shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items & collectibles/collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Keep the signs simple! Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine. 6. Price your items. If having a multi-family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc. to save time. 7. Money. Be prepared with change. Including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only! 8. Have electricity available to test items. 9. Be safe. Do not let anyone into your home. Take your phone outside with you. Have an extra person relieve you occasionally. 10. If it’s warm, offer cold bottled water for sale to cool off your customers! Happy customers buy things! 11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate the leftover items to a local charity.
