Though suicide prevention bills are dead, advocates are hopeful BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

he East Valley-based movement to prevent teen suicide ran into a temporary roadblock at the Arizona Legislature, where separate bills sponsored by two area legislators failed to gain adequate support. Republican-controlled committees in both chambers bottled up the bills, essentially killing them for this session. That move came despite the fact that at least 18 East Valley teens have taken their lives between July 24 and Novem-

ber, according to Chandler educator Katey McPherson’s unofficial count. McPherson has been tracking teen suicides in the Valley through her contacts with other educators. In January, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released new statistics for 2016 showing suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-24 in Arizona. The measures – introduced by state Sen. Sean Bowie, D-Ahwatukee, and state Rep. Mizti Epstein, D-Tempe – sought to require Arizona school districts and charters to provide staff and teachers with two hours of training annually on recognizing suicidal

students. Despite the bills’ defeat, however, both Bowie and McPherson believe teen suicide is getting more attention than in the past. “We are going to keep up the good fight, especially after the tragedy in Florida,’’ McPherson said, referring to the mass shooting at a Florida school last week. “Our resolve is even stronger about our students getting the connection to services they need,” she added. “We’re not going to stop asking for training when the bill dies. We can’t afford to lose another life.’’ See

he Chandler Compadres are hoping to raise $1 million for disadvantaged children this year, even though they have not had a Cactus League ballpark as a source of revenue for more than 20 years. While Compadre Stadium, with its distinctive blue roof and large outfield berm, has vanished and become a pleasant Cactus League memory, the Compadres have flourished and stayed true to their community service mission. With the 2018 Cactus League season in full swing, the resourceful Compadres will again continue to make a more lasting impression even if they have a much lower-profile than during their baseball heyday. Milwaukee Brewers Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Paul Molitor once played at Compadre Stadium. So did New York Yankees Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, who was once a teammate of basketball great Michael Jordan on the Chandler Diamondbacks, an Arizona Fall League team. See

BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

any numbers could benchmark Constance Lillie’s life – 18 presidents, two world wars and 10 decades among them – but they would not reflect the math that helps define her as she begins a second century on Earth. The numbers that matter are much closer to the heart of the longtime Mesa resident – who turned 100 yesterday, Feb. 24. Three daughters, one son, a foster daughter, 48 grandchildren, 63 great grandchildren and 20 great-great grandchildren. And hundreds upon hundreds of pages of written memories that her children lovingly committed to five CDs and distributed to that far-flung clan. In part, those journals tell the story of the world around her: “Going from the horse-and-buggy days to the jet age; from the make-it-yourself days to the push-button computer days.” But they also are recollections of her own life: “Wash days with pans and tubs of water being heated on the stove; the scrubbing board for extra-soiled clothes that were boiled in soapy water first … Saturday baths in a round tin tub; cars that had to be cranked to start the engine running.” Constance Elvira Nilson was born on Feb. 24, 1918, to parents who had emigrated from Sweden and settled in Salt Lake City. As a teenager during the Great Depression, she and her sole sibling – a brother who died years ago – grew up in a family whose motto was “Whether it be old or new, make it over and make it do.” She met her late husband, Randall Lillie, at a dance school. They married in 1938 and moved to Mesa in 1964, settling

Constance Lillie of Mesa, who turned 100 Feb. 24, chronicled much of her life in journals that her children put on five CDs.

around University and Mesa drives for a number of years before moving to east Mesa. While he worked as a loan officer and then a bank manager in Sun City, she stayed at home and raised her children. “She always wanted to be a mom,” said daughter Annette Lunt. But she also pursued other interests while the kids were at school and while she wasn’t caring for her husband in later life – first for the injuries he had suffered in an accident and then during a long struggle with cancer. She cared for neighbors in need and those confronting a traumatic situation. “There were a lot of Jell-O salads that she made,” Johnson said. She was good at painting and drawing and was an expert seamstress, recalled Lunt and another daughter, Karen Johnson.

But most of all, she loved to write. She had learned shorthand in school, which she put to use at times for elders in the Mormon Church and also deployed when she made out Christmas gift lists and didn’t want her kids to know what was on them. She wrote letters to childhood girlfriends – she corresponded for more than 40 years with a friend who had moved away when she was only 9. And she wrote as her grandchildren as well. Often at a Mesa chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during a baby blessing, she would use shorthand to record the priest’s individualized words, then type them up and give it to the parents as a souvenir. And then there were the journals – at least 15 bound books containing photos as well as copious written recollections of her life as a mother and a little girl, when horses pulled wagons with fruits and vegetables or blocks of ice. She wrote about “the aroma of fresh baked bread coming from the oven – the same oven that would “warm our feet on cold winter days.” “She filled books upon books,” Lunt said. “She left a lot of stories for us.” Time has robbed her fingers of the dexterity she needed to sew, cook or even write. It hasn’t cost her sense of humor. She likes to joke about wanting to go to her piece of property in Utah when she’s done living at the Jones Family Care Home in east Mesa. That property, she said, has a headstone with her name on it. And her secret to her long life? Constance Lillie doesn’t hesitate in her reply: “Ice cream, lots of ice cream.”

Data center to be built in Mesa’s Elliot Road tech corridor BY WAYNE SCHUTSKY Tribune Staff Writer

new Denver-based data center developer has plans to break ground on three facilities across the country this year and has chosen Mesa’s Elliot Road Technology Corridor as the site of one if its first projects. EdgeCore Internet Real Estate entered the data center market this year with plans to develop and operate centers across the U.S. and provide services to large cloud users like Microsoft, Amazon and Google and other Fortune 1000 companies in the

Internet and applications space. The company is backed by the global investment arm of the government of Singapore and will invest $2 billion in the North American data center market, according to a report in Data Center Knowledge. Its initial development plans include data centers in Mesa, Dallas and Reno, Nevada. EdgeCore sought a site in the Valley in order to gain access to a large population of users in the Phoenix metropolitan area – the 12th largest MSA in the country. “It’s no secret that (the Valley) is a pretty

attractive market for data center development,” said Matt Muell, EdgeCore senior vice president. EdgeCore’s Mesa campus will be within the Eastmark development just west of Apple’s global operations center at Elliot and Signal Butte Roads. A new road called Everton Terrace will be constructed south of Elliot Road to lead to the site, Muell said. In May 2017, Mesa’s Planning and Zoning Board approved a new development unit plan for multiple parcels in See

Bowie said he was touched by his conversations with Lorie Warnock, a Mountain Pointe High School English teacher who lost her son, Mitchell Warnock, a Corona del Sol High School student, to suicide. Bowie named his bill the Mitch Warnock Act. “Anything we can do to raise awareness and bring attention to the issue is a good thing,’’ Bowie said, vowing to reintroduce a teen suicide bill next year if he wins re-election. “The more groundswell of support we have, we can encourage districts to take the lead themselves,’’ he added. Bowie said he realized from the start that it was unlikely the bill would pass in the first attempt, and he is hoping to build momentum to get it passed in the future. He said some legislators in critical positions were philosophically opposed to the state government mandating school districts. “I’ve truly been touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received over this bill,’’ Bowie wrote in a newsletter to his constituents, telling them: “As long as I hold a seat in the State Senate, I’m going to keep pushing this issue forward and get some training that will help our teachers and educators spot the warning signs and find out ways they can help our students.’’ Bowie said he is encouraged that some East Valley districts are making teen sui-

cide prevention a higher priority. He cited the Kyrene School District’s commitment to promoting the emotional health of students. He said other East Valley districts also are taking important steps toward suicide prevention, with the Tempe Unified School District also providing more training to teachers. Kyrene Superintendent Jan Vesely wrote in a message to parents that the new middle school model, launched last fall, includes a counselor and an academic behavioral specialist position to address

the emotional wellness of students. “I am committed to working closely with our school leaders, parents, and the Kyrene community to ensure that our most precious resource, our children, are fully supported – academically, socially and emotionally, to be the best they can be,’’ Vesely wrote. McPherson, director of training at the Gurian Institute, is hosting two social media responsibility events, called “Kids Under the Influence,’’ to educate parents on Internet safety techniques. The first is on March 20, from 5-8 p.m., at Akimel A-Al Middle School, 2720 E. Liberty Lane in Ahwatukee. It includes dinner and registration is $25. A second session is planned for May 1 at Kyrene Middle School. “Kids who feel well do well,’’ McPherson said. “Kids who are not doing well use social media as their voice.’’ She said social media is a contributing factor toward suicide, with children bullied and harassed over image-driven platforms such as Instagram. Those images can make some children and teens feel they are somehow not good enough, whether it is their appearance or some other factor. “We are in a mental health crisis due to social media,’’ McPherson said, with kids already under intense pressure to perform well academically. “It’s the performance arms race.’’ Suicide is the second leading cause of death among the 10-14, 12-18 and 18-22 age brackets, said Evelyn Hill, senior divisional director for the Jason Foundation in Hendersonville, Tenn.

The CDC statistics show 152 Arizonans between 15 and 24 killed themselves in 2016, ranking suicide behind the topranked cause of death – unintentional injury – at 339. The actual number of suicides is highest in the 45-54 age bracket – 233 – but ranks as the fifth leading cause of death for people that age. “Your state has a problem,’’ Hill said, adding that she was not surprised to hear that the Arizona Legislature had rejected a bill aimed at training teachers to recognize the warning signs of suicide. “It’s because it hasn’t touched them,’’ she said. “Until it touches them, it’s, ‘we have something more important.” The teen suicide problem is nothing new, but it has been gaining more attention because of the reported number of suicides is likely more accurate and because efforts to break down the stigma associated with mental health, said Brett Marciel, a spokesman for the organization. He said the only way the Jason Foundation has convinced states to pass mandatory training laws was to provide free videos that can be viewed online. In 2015, the CDC ranked suicide as the third leading cause of death for people aged 10-24 nationwide, with about 4,600 young people taking their own lives every year. The CDC found that about 157,000 people in that age bracket were treated at emergency rooms for suicide attempts, that 81 percent of the deaths were boys and 19 percent were girls, but that girls were more likely to attempt suicide.

Kyrene plan addresses kids’ emotional health BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

ess than 24 hours before the Valentine’s Day slaughter at a Florida high school, Kyrene School District administrators were rolling out their plan for identifying and reaching troubled grade school and middle school students before they hurt someone or themselves It aims to instill in them a lifelong sense of responsibility to treat others respect and encourage them to alert a trusted adult when they see a classmate who appears in need of help. The multi-tiered plan addresses “socialemotional learning” for Kyrene students and is part of Superintendent Jan Vesely’s comprehensive plan for improving students’ chances of success both academically and in later life in the workforce.

Presented to the governing board on Feb. 13, it promotes “an inclusive culture of respect, high expectations, collaboration and shared responsibility for student success.” When board member John King asked Vesely why a K-8 school district needs to worry at all about that, Vesely replied: “We really do believe social-emotional wellness is a strong contributing factor to their success academically and in all contexts of job and life.” The plan includes a data-driven component to help administrators and teachers not just measure academic success but students’ emotional needs and growth. “We really believe for a child who is really ready for high school, college and beyond – for life – they need cognitive knowledge, they need content knowledge, they need transitional knowledge

and they also need social and emotional wellness,” Vesely told the board. She said Kyrene was stepping into a vacuum in Arizona when it comes to students’ emotional and social health. Educators and other experts nationwide are focusing more attention on students’ emotional and mental health, especially because of social media’s impact on teens and even grade school pupils. Tempe Union High School District is similarly focusing more attention on the emotional well-being of students. Recently a mandatory meeting for all district personnel was the first in a series of professional development workshops on social-emotional wellness, said district spokeswoman Jen Liewer. “This training was very unique because it was done in partnership with the city of Tempe,” she said, explaining that an ex-

pert discussed “how children’s brains are impacted by childhood trauma and how to develop resilience in our students.” Liewer said staffers “participated in group exercises and discussion, developing strategies to better connect with students and address their social and emotional wellness.” Vesely explained the overarching goal behind the Kyrene plan. “We want a comprehensive approach to social-emotional learning” she said, that will improve “their ability to problem-solve, their ability to have positive relationships and learn how to deal with conflict. We know students aren’t born resilient, but resilience can be taught.” Board member Bernadette Coggins lauded the plan, recalling how a 2015 See

homes he was showing. Last December, Chandler Police were notified of a burglary of jewelry. During the investigation, detectives discovered four similar burglaries. In all cases, the houses that were listed for sale, jewelry was stolen, and the same agent showed the home. Paul John Stolarik, 35, was arrested in Queen Creek on Feb. 22 and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on five counts of second-degree burglary, a Class 3 felony. According to police, Stolarik would arrange a showing for homes, arrive at the residence alone and enter, then steal multiple pieces of expensive jewelry from the master bedrooms. He would take only some of the jewelry, hoping that it would not immediately be missed. – TRIBUNE STAFF REPORT

Bill would allow non-lethal weapons on campus Students, faculty, staff and visitors are a step closer to being able to carry some

kinds of weapons on the campuses of public colleges and universities. HB 2172, sponsored by Gilbert Rep. Travis Grantham, was approved by the House on a 35-23 vote. It is designed to provide new options for self-defense. It specifically would overrule existing policies at the state’s three universities that now make overthe-counter pepper spray the only type of weapon permitted. The legislation, which now goes to the Senate, also would trump no-weapons policies at community colleges. What would now be allowed is not spelled out in the bill. Instead, the measure would permit “non-lethal weapons,” defined as those “explicitly designed and developed to incapacitate or repel a person with a low probability of fatality or permanent injury.” – HOWARD FISCHER, CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES

THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | FEBRUARY 25, 2018

from page 1

Baseball legends Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Tony Oliva and Harmon Killebrew all participated in fantasy camps at Compadre. Hall of Famers Jim Palmer and Ken Griffey Jr. filmed commercials there. Frank Pezzorello, the ballpark’s former general manager, said he even had Yankees legend Mickey Mantle scheduled for a fantasy camp at one point, but Mantle became ill and had to cancel. Not a trace remains of Compadre Stadium, which had been located at Alma School and Ocotillo roads. The 65-acre site of the ballpark that once entertained thousands is now home to a sea of red tile roofs in the upscale Echelon at Ocotillo master-planned community. The only reminder of that 11-year era is the nearby Snedigar Sports Complex, built in 1990 as practice fields for the Brewers. It remains a major south Chandler sports facility, with baseball, softball and soccer fields, along with a skate park and a dog park. The Compadres did not settle for getting shut out when the Brewers moved to the Maryvale Baseball Park in 1998. Without baseball as an obvious focal point, they turned to a series of other fundraisers – a golf tournament, a rock concert, a sports car giveaway, a state tax write off – and turned what once looked like a serious loss into a grand slam for disadvantaged children. “When they lost the ballpark, they made a transition,’’ said Ryan Foster, acting president of the Compadres and a member since 2008, referring to the organization’s 60 life members, many of whom volunteered their time at the stadium. Now, he added, “We have really grown the charity and increased revenues each year” even though none of its 40 active members date back to the baseball era. The life members include farmer Dwayne Dobson, realtor Bill Ryan and Pezzorello, the former stadium operations general manager and a past president of the Compadres. “It took away a big revenue source,’’ Foster said, when Compadre Stadium stopped functioning as a Cactus League facility after the 1997 season. “These guys could have easily wrapped things up and said, ‘We have no source of revenue.’ But they didn’t do that.’’ The big winners are such children’s charities as the Boys and Girls Clubs of the East Valley, Chandler ICAN, Azcend and the Chandler Education Foundation. A graphic prepared by the organization lists donations rising from $520,000 in 2014

to $660,000 in 2015 to $707,000 in 2016 and $807,000 in 2017. In contrast, the organization raised about $50,000 in 1997, the last year that the Brewers played at Compadre, Pezzorello said. The next major fundraiser is the annual Compadres Golf Classic at Talking Stick Golf Resort near Scottsdale on April 20, which features two premier 18-hole golf courses. The tournament fields 80 teams with a total 320 golfers and raises money primarily through sponsorships that start at $3,300 per foursome. Beyond the tournament, the Compadres also raise money through a “Rock the Cause for Kids,’’ a concert and dinner at Wild Horse Pass where guests are served dinner and have an opportunity to win a car. Last year’s grand prize was a Chevrolet Corvette donated by another life member, John Chapman of Chapman Chevrolet. Foster said the Compadres pride themselves on being an all-volunteer charity, with 98.6 percent of donations going to Chandler-area charities. Donors can specify which charity they want to support.

“That’s our commitment to our donors. We will take the time to vet the charities and get the most bang for our buck.’’ Pezzorello said Cactus League baseball probably came to Chandler too early, before the city had adequate hotels, restaurants and other attractions that would have appealed to tourists. He has no doubt that today’s more mature Chandler could support a team. It all started when former Chandler Mayor Jim Patterson, a real estate developer who founded Ocotillo, persuaded the Brewers to move from Sun City to Chandler. Patterson put together a partnership that spent $1.6 million to build Compadre Stadium. From the start, it was envisioned that the ballpark would be expanded, but that never happened. Instead, a rebuilding and renovation plan became the blueprint for the new Maryvale ballpark in west Phoenix. Compadre Stadium got off to a tragic start when Tony Muser, the Brewers third base coach, suffered second and third degree burns over 55 percent of his body in a natural gas explosion on Feb. 27, 1986. The explosion occurred when a worker

turned on a heater in the coach’s room, not realizing that there was gas in the line. Eight other players and coaches were injured. A player was knocked off his chair by the explosion, which also buckled the roof. Muser survived after spending four months recovering in a burn unit, but he lost an opportunity to become the team’s manager later that year because of his injuries. He eventually became the manager of the Kansas City Royals and spent a lifetime in baseball as a player and coach. Things also got better at Compadre Stadium for a while after the explosion. “I’m still proud of it. I have so many memories,’’ Pezzorello said. “The biggest part for me is the friendships. Ballplayers, volunteers, we had some great times.’’ He said the Cactus League has changed since those simpler times, with the role of community organizations such as the Compadres somewhat diminished. Still, some civic groups remain active in the East Valley, including the Mesa Hohokams, the Tempe Diablos and the Scottsdale Charros. “All of those groups are still making money for their charities, but their roles are more limited,’’ Pezzorello said. “I would say it was more community-oriented. We had hundreds of volunteers help us every day. It was like that at all the ballparks.’’ At Compadre Stadium, the volunteers “did it all’’ for every game, parking cars, selling tickets and programs and serving as ushers. Pezzorello said Compadre had about 5,000 seats and could accommodate another 5,000 fans seated on the berm. “We broke 10,000 one year with the Cubs,’’ Pezzorello said, noting attendance for one season exceeded 100,000 despite the small ballpark. But the ballpark’s popularity did not pay off for Chandler. Dave Bigos, a city spokesman, said the lack of hotels and restaurants at that time contributed to fans driving to Chandler for the game and leaving. Chandler saw little or no increase in sales tax revenues from baseball, making the extensive improvements requested by the Brewers seem like a poor investment, he said. “The timing just wasn’t right for the community, given where we were with the hotels and restaurants,’’ Bigos said. “We must have 20 times the restaurants and hotels we had back then.’’ Although Foster is proud of his organization’s perseverance, he said he wishes Chandler still had a Cactus League ballpark. “We are creating our own revenue right now,’’ Foster said. “With something like that, we could easily go into the millions.’’

the northern part of Eastmark that slated some of the land to be used to create an employment corridor. The employment uses stipulated in the plan included large and medium-size manufacturing, data centers and offices, according to city documents. The deal to bring EdgeCore to Mesa came together relatively quickly as the new company first approached Eastmark executives about potentially purchasing land last spring, said Dea McDonald, Eastmark general manager. “EdgeCore came to us and, at the time, we didn’t know who they were,” McDonald said. “But they had done enough research to know that the Elliot Road Technology Corridor was a place they would like to be, if for no other reason than Apple had put their global operations center there.” The official groundbreaking for the first phase of the project will take place on March 7. EdgeCore expects the first phase of the data center campus to go live by the end of the year. It will feature a 200,000-squarefoot building that will support 24 to 32 megawatts of critical load.

suicide by a Corona del Sol High School student and the death of a student from Aprende Middle School in Chandler “ripped through our community and tore a lot of hearts.” One piece of the district’s strategy is already being tested at Aprende with the help of the Speak Up Stand Up Save a Life movement.

At buildout, the Mesa campus will feature seven data center buildings with a total of 1.25 million square feet of space and will support 225 megawatts of critical load. Mesa, and the Elliot Road Tech Corridor in particular, was an attractive site for a variety of reasons, including ready access to the significant power, water and fiber infrastructure a large data center requires. The corridor is near SRP’s Browning receiving station and 500kV, 230kV and 69kV transmission lines. It also has access to SRP’s extensive unused dark fiber network. Businesses can

pay SRP to tie in to that network, which connects with major carrier network access points and throughout the Valley, according to SRP. “(The available) infrastructure and political support were all highly influential (in our decision),” Muell said. EdgeCore was also attracted to the Valley, because of the region’s affordability relative to other population centers in the Southwest, Muell said. Specifically, Muell pointed to power costs in the Phoenix area, which are 50 percent lower than Los Angeles. “Power costs are a big part of total cost when operating data center,” he said.

forcement, government and the community together and help students devise their own ways of teaching their classmates how to relate to others constructively and how to help those who appear troubled. Eight Aprende student leaders attended that conference. Students were led to “come up with their own ideas on the best way to communicate to a trusted adult when they hear or see cries for help such as bullying, cyberbullying, drug addiction, depression and ongoing threats against others,” according to the movement’s website, speakupstandupsavealife.com.

“We’re in the second month of implementation and we’re getting positive feedback from teachers, kids and parents,” Vesely told the board. “The messaging is coming from the student leaders, which is so much more impactful and powerful than from us.” The student leaders are attempting to break down their classmates’ resistance to reporting a particularly troubled youngster to teachers or administrators. “We asked them why kids don’t report,” Vesely told the board. “Nobody wants to tattle. They don’t want their friends to be angry with them.” “The student leaders are stressing the

Those power savings coupled with state tax incentives encouraging data center development made the current site “more cost effective versus other places without incentives,” he added. The project is a major win for Eastmark, which has made a concerted effort to bring employment opportunities to the community, McDonald said. Eastmark is targeting campus-style office, data center and light manufacturing users, including employers that require large parcels of land. McDonald said that business-attraction efforts typically start at the state level, with the Arizona Commerce Authority and Greater Phoenix Economic Council reaching out to municipalities that may be a fit for businesses looking to expand to Arizona. Eastmark representatives meet regularly with City of Mesa Economic Development officials to discuss opportunities that may be a fit for the community. “Eastmark is the perfect location for high water users, high power users and large data users,” McDonald said. – Reach Wayne Schutsky at 480-898-6533 or wschutsky@timespublications.com.

importance of reporting,” she added, noting “the majority of things we investigate comes from students.” The district has ordered several thousand bracelets for the third quarter that will be distributed by the student leaders to all students at Aprende. The bracelets carry a texting address that students can use to report a classmate they think needs adult help. Before the end of the year, students from Aztec Strong, a campus organization of Corona del Sol students dedicated to raising an awareness of teen suicides, will also work with the student leaders at Aprende.

BASIS Chandler team tops brain-teasing science tourney BY ERIC NEWMAN Tribune Staff Writer

ere’s a question for you: “A student pushes a textbook across a frictionless table with the force of 1.8 Newtons. If the distance she pushed the book is 1.5 meters, how much work, in Joules, did she do on the book?” You might head to the internet for the answer – or just reach for an aspirin. But teams representing a total of about 55 East Valley students last weekend had only five seconds to answer this and an assortment of other brain-bending questions recently at the Arizona Regional High Science Bowl. And one of the three five-member teams from BASIS Chandler answered enough the complicated questions correctly to win the competition and qualify for the National Science Bowl in April in Washington, D.C. The games consisted of two eightminute rounds of science, technology, engineering and math questions with round-robin play eliminating teams in a bracket-style tournament. Before the competition started, Grant Anderson, president/CEO of Paragon Space Development Corp., gave a short keynote speech encouraging the students in attendance that they were on the right paths to succeed in STEM careers. “Win, lose, draw, however you come out today, the fact that you worked your way here, and actually talk and meet the people that you’re going to meet, network with the people here, it takes that type of work to get where you want to,” he said. BASIS Chandler coach Theresa Gburek said her team members worked for months

BASIS Chandler team members Adrian Palumbo, left, and Ritvik Vallambhatia, sitting next to him, ponder a question at the Science Bowl.

“It helps to the extent that you’re getting more exposure to this type of learning. All the knowledge is rewarding because it’s more than we’re getting in school. And you can look into what you want to know and what’s interesting, but it helps in the competition as well,” he said. Though vast understanding of the different fields was essential, the contestants had to be efficient in buttonpressing and managing the 16 minutes of game play. Hamilton High School senior Sachin Konan said there was a lot of gamesmanship taking place between opponents that had nothing to do with science. Teams with larger knowledge-bases could be beaten by teams that simply had better coordination and time management. “For example, one simple one is that if you’re up in the second round, and you are given 20 seconds to answer a bonus question that the other team can’t, you take as much of the time as you can so that they can’t come back,” he said. Tournament director Shashi Jasthi, president/CEO of Solugenix Corporation in Scottsdale, said he has seen the competition grow over 12 years from 12 teams to a need to restrict entries to 32. He said competition-style education activities are going to only increase in demand around the country, and that Arizona originally did not as many as other states. “There is a real need and hunger to have this type of education-based, STEMbased event,” he said. “When compared to other large metropolitan areas, we did not have enough. Over the last few years we’ve gotten our act together.”

after schools answering online questions, reading numerous textbooks, packets and research studies and practicing fast-paced recollection. Members of the winning BASIS Chandler team are Aryan Soman, Zarif Ahsan, Agustya Matheth, Clara Wang and Shenyi Li. Each contestant specialized in one or two different subjects and collaborated to form a team with a wide range of knowledge that could lead them to success. “These kids are amazing. We’ve been wanting to win this for a long time,” she said, “So they’re just incredibly motivated and incredibly proactive. It’s really all them.” Their accrued information also made

them well-versed in the base sciences, preparing them for college. “It really means a lot to have a job in that field, and this is like a stepping stone to that because you’re dedicating yourself to it and really going in-depth into whatever studies you are doing,” Verrado High School senior Gina Penuelas said. Many participants already are doing well in their science and math courses in school, and just enjoy the additional challenge and outlet to study their favorite subjects in further depth, Gburek said. For BASIS Mesa senior Rahman Mustapha, the hours of study gave him a reason to spend time searching for real-world applications to formulas and expanded his technical vocabulary in schoolwork.

That’s when they got a call from “The Gong Show.” “The crazier the better, they said,” Jeffrey said. The brothers performed their cover of

Britney Spears’ “Toxic” (with “exterminating” bug backup dancers) on “The Gong Show” in front of celebrity judges Dana Carvey, Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson. “Since ‘The Gong Show,’ things have just taken off,” Jason said. “About six production companies want to sign us and do a reality show. We have not said yes because we want to find the right fit.” Back in Mesa, the brothers write their own music in the “Practice Pad,” a live music venue and recording studio. “We’re making our own little venue,” Jason said. “It seats about 50 people and we’re going to open that sometime this year. We’ll probably have a concert about once a month there. We are getting more of an online following.” That’s not their only goal. They’re chasing big dreams of an album, a TV show and another the Hollywood Bug Guys location. “Very shortly, L.A. will be just as much a headquarters,” Jason said. “Not that there aren’t serious artists (in Arizona). There are just so many more out there. The concentration is so high and it’s great to network in both places. Especially bringing that energy back to Arizona.” Information: 480-439-5081, hollywoodbugguys.com.

Walmart to close Sam’s Club stores in Chandler, other cities

Walmart will close Sam’s Club stores in Chandler and three other Arizona locations, the company announced. The closures are part of a larger move to shutter 63 stores across the country, which amounts to about 10 percent of all Sam’s Club locations. Several of the stores could be converted to e-commerce facilities, according to reports. The Chandler store at 1375 S. Arizona Ave. is closing.

Waymo gets OK to offer rides in competition with Uber

Alphabet, the parent of the self-driving car division Waymo, has received Arizona’s approval to begin a transportation networking company, which will directly challenge Uber. Both Waymo and Uber have been testing self-driving cars in the East Valley. The approval means Waymo will now be a direct competitor to Uber and smaller rival Lyft and will be allowed to start charging for rides rather than offering them for free. Waymo reportedly has been buying thousands of Chrysler Pacifica minivans and retrofitting them with its autonomous vehicle technology.

Mesa biorubber research at center of new partnership

Bridgestone Americas is forming a strategic partnership with Italian polymer and elastomer giant Versalis S.p.A. to develop and commercialize guayule in the agricultural, sustainable rubber and renewable chemical sectors. The Bridgestone Biorubber Process Research Center in Mesa, which Bridgestone dedicated in September 2014, will be the place of optimization for guayule process technologies, a press release said. The partnership combines Bridgestone’s guayule agricultural and production technologies with Versalis’ commercial-scale process engineering and market development for renewables. The two companies will also make their joint technology available to industrial partners willing to cooperate in maximizing the value of guayule products, it said.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to gun violence BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

ere’s a modest proposal, one that makes perfect sense in 2018, when our nation has never been more divided: Rather than an American flag colored red, white and blue, as we’ve had for going on 242 years, perhaps it’s time to change the Stars and Stripes to our new official colors. Black and white. I say that because every issue nowadays appears to be exactly that for most Americans – black or white, either-or, Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, pro or anti. With no issue is this more apparent than when it comes to the mass shootings that continue to occur at an unprecedented clip. How bad is it? America makes up five percent of the global population, yet over the past 50 years we have produced more than 30 percent of the

world’s mass shooters. Our answer? So far, not a damn thing. That’s because every time a lunatic opens fire with an AR-15 in a school or a movie theater, a government building or a Las Vegas concert, we line up in two factions and scream at the top of our lungs. On one side? Those who see gun control alone as the answer – and the National Rifle Association and Second Amendment diehards as the enemy. On the other side? The “you’ll limit gun ownership over my dead body” crowd. They see mass shootings not as a gun problem, but as a mental-health problem, because “guns don’t kill people, crazy people kill people.” Here’s a news flash. Both sides are absolutely right. And both sides could not be more wrong. The truth? Mass shootings are exactly like every other complex social issue we face in America: Nuanced events determined by multiple causes, impossible to prevent with a “one size fits all” response. The solutions to such complicated issues

are themselves complicated, not black and white, nor either-or. No set of solutions will prevent every mass shooting. But a set of solutions that weaves together BOTH sensible gun-control laws AND better mental-health screening and services would be a good start against what has become America’s weekly ritual: Wholesale slaughter by killers who, in retrospect, inevitably had not one problem that required solving, but two – access to high-powered killing machines and serious mental issues that could have been red flags, but somehow got missed, as was the case with Nikolas Cruz of Parkland, Fla., infamy. I can’t say with certainty that the Parkland massacre would have been prevented by a comprehensive approach combining stricter gun laws – like forbidding the mentally ill from buying guns, for starters – with better mental-health screening – including potentially committing someone like Cruz, who exhibited more red flags than a Soviet military parade.

But here’s what I can say: Doing nothing is unacceptable. Yet that’s where we find ourselves, because of the societal and political gridlock created by our insistence on approaching mass gun killings in an exclusively “either-or” manner. The truth? We can continue to view this issue as black and white and do nothing. That approach will help political candidates stoke their bases and attract votes, but it will not stanch the flow of blood in our streets, schools and public spaces. Or we can open our minds to the complexity of this issue and do what America used to do, back when we weren’t simply a collection of red states and blue states united by little more than geography, 325 million partisans who would rather make Facebook posts than save lives. We used to solve problems in this country. Now, screaming is what we do best. And funerals. Because we’ve had so much practice. – David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

How many times?

I’m an Arizonan, though I’ve been living and working abroad for a few years now. I’m always a bit behind the news. Today, while on holiday, I woke once again to another school shooting. I no longer know what to say to people I meet who ask me “Why?” I don’t know why. It remains senseless to me. But I do know that as a teacher I would put myself between a child and a person pointing a gun, but I would NEVER put a gun in my own hand.

Abuse questions remain

While the Arizona House of Representatives is to be applauded for finally doing something about the lecherous behavior of Yuma-area Rep. Don Shooter, additional questions need to be asked AND answered concerning his unacceptable behavior: Why did it take so long to act when Shooter’s abhorrent behavior was said to have occurred over many years? Was the current party in power covering up for a member of its own party? If it’s true that Shooter held “after-hours” drinking get-togethers in his office and/or in the House, why is alcohol permitted in a state building or on the premises of a state legislative body? Any state employee caught having alcohol or partaking of it in a public building paid for by us taxpayers

would be summarily fired or severely reprimanded. Let’s hop the “cleanup” at our state Capitol continues well into the November 2018 elections.

Legalize marijuana

Gov. Ducey, Support and renew the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment! Support S.1689 – Marijuana Justice Act of 2017. Support H.R.3530 – Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2017. Support H.R.4711 – Industrial Hemp Banking Act. Support S.776 – Marijuana Revenue and Regulation Act. Legalize marijuana! Millions of Americans rely on the medicinal effects of THC and CBD, which are components of marijuana. By legalizing marijuana, THC and CBD could replace narcotics and held fight opioid abuse. Obstruct Attorney General Jeff Sessions in every way possible. Sessions’ revisionist policies are harming Americans. If he were to get his way, it would essentially be the end of the legal marijuana experiment in the United States. Promote research, not jails!!

No more incumbents

As voters, whether we’re Democrats, Republicans, Independents, conservatives or liberals, we need to recognize and admit that our state and federal lawmakers are for the most part dysfunctional. Here are near and the ‘priorities’ for our elected officials that they hold dear: 1. Get elected or get re-elected. 2. Keep your political party in power or get it in power. 3. Raise as much money as you can to further the above objectives. Even the most ardent far-left or far-right political voter should be able to see that the electorate is unable to compete against special interest money, secret cash donations, and business and corporate third-party contributions to politicians that they are currying favor with. What can private citizens, voters without a cadre of cash and people concerned about the direction of our democracy do to compete against or at least attempt to neutralize these special interests that are attempting to buy our legislators? While the simple answer is that we as voters and private citizens can’t go “toe to toe” with deep pocketed interests, we still have some power to change things via the ballot box. With one person, one vote still the law of the land, we can in up and coming elections vote against every sin-

gle incumbent lawmaker to show our collective disdain for the “business as usual” politics that is prevalent in Phoenix and Washington. D.C. Sending a message of this magnitude to both our state and federal lawmakers could be construed as a clarion call to future politicians to tend to the needs of the voters and not to “special interests.”

DACA empathy

Why is empathy missing from our public DACA dialogue? If Congress fails to act, our government will begin rounding up hundreds of thousands of taxpaying members of our society. Like so much unwanted chattel, they will be shipped to various parts of the world. These are children and young adults. America is the only home they have known and English is their only language. What chance do they have of surviving in a country like El Salvador, one of the most violent places in the world? What do the rest of us gain by sentencing these innocent people to a life of unimaginable violence or death? What do our Sens. McCain and Flake gain by not demanding this be stopped? DACA recipients are husbands and wives, sons and daughters. Their lives should not be horse-traded for a wall or used as bargaining chips to appease a faction of our society that wants America to be a place for See

whites only. DACA wasn’t a problem before the current president and Republican Congress were handed the reins of governmental control. They have created the problem and could solve it today by passing a law to protect the “Dreamers.”

A vote for Kuby

I know Councilmember Lauren Kuby from her work with the Tempe Community Council advocating for vulnerable populations and working families. Lauren has lived in Tempe nearly 30 years and has spent her entire life building community; in fact, she leads community outreach for the School of Sustainability and has mentored hundreds of students in creating sustainable solutions at the neighborhood level. Because of Lauren’s sustainability initiatives, I now monitor my water usage at my south Tempe home and I’m seeing measurable reductions in my water use. Now in her first term on the Tempe City Council, she’s not content to sit back and run a passive mail campaign to ask for your vote. Instead, she is out in the neighborhoods, talking to residents about what they love about Tempe and what needs work. Because she knows homelessness is a crisis in our city, she personally took part in last month’s Point-in-Time Homeless Street Count. She walks the talk. Lauren has put her ideas into action; working tirelessly on: An Urban Forestry Master Plan that aims to double the shade and make the city more walkable Lowering the contribution limits in city elections from over $6,000 to $500 Passing a referendum to force the disclosure of “Dark Money” contributions in elections An Equal Pay program that has become a national model A free Pre-K initiative to improve education and help Tempe’s working families Simply put, Councilmember Lauren Kuby is a leader who gets things done. She is a Tempe treasure. We need to keep Kuby on the Tempe City Council.

Save renewable energy

As a freshman studying sustainability, the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts to clean energy

programs are deeply concerning. When I go running outside, I don’t want toxic air to fill my lungs. And when I graduate from college, I want to be able to find a quality position in a field I am immensely passionate about: renewable energy. After backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement, the United States already finds itself far behind the rest of the developed world in terms of fighting climate change and advancing renewables. Our president has proven time after time that he does not care for the environment and is hellbent on propping up the coal industry. However, renewable energy is already a large part of the economy and its importance will only continue to grow. The science concerning the negative effects of fossil fuels is not disputed. What’s disputed is our president’s relentless attacks against its validity. Defend Our Future, the nonpartisan student group that I intern with, is dedicated to environmental causes. We are asking students to call Sen. Flake and tell him to prevent any more budget cuts on renewable energy. Join us and make a call today.

– Sakshi Hegde – Tempe

Where is the outrage?

Another mass shooting. Another school violated. Where are the pro-life advocates? Nowhere to be seen or heard. This proves that banning abortion is their only goal, NOT PRO-LIFE. We need change. We are the only major country that has excessive death tolls due to guns. Congress is refusing to address this issue. Thirty mass shootings in just SIX WEEKS; the total for this year so far with all but two of them occurring East of the Mississippi River. Where is the outrage? Where is the demand that things change? From the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, NOT our leaders. Neither the president, Congress nor any other elected officials are screaming that this must stop. Again, where is the demand that things change? To change this lack of action, we must VOTE in NEW leadership. They have failed us, especially those families who are now grieving the loss of children and heroes who saved their children. Why is this OK? We have the ability to stop it, so let’s take action for the sake of all children everywhere. The majority of citizens and legislators believe that stronger background checks are necessary. Why is it not yet law? I will work to change who represents me. What will you do?

Mesquite girls win, will defend state championship BY GREG MACAFEE Tribune Sports Editor

ll season long, the No. 2 Mesquite Wildcats have been in pursuit of a second-straight AIA 5A State Championship, and Feb. 20 at Wells Fargo Arena seemed like just another day for the defending state champs. They defeated No. 3 Sahuaro 80-48 to advance to a state championship matchup with No. 1 Chaparral. Mesquite jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter behind strong defensive play and an offense that moved the ball from corner to corner in the blink of an eye. Through the first five minutes, the only points Sahuaro could generate came at the free-throw line. They broke through in the fifth minute, with an Alyssa Brown layup and an Alyssa Franke 3. But the Wildcats had already built a considerable lead and were ahead by eight at the end of the first. The Wildcats never took their foot of the gas pedal: By three minutes into the second, the defending state champs had extended their lead to 16. They continued to push the ball whenever they could

to where senior guard Lindsey VanAllen, who scored 32 on the day, was on the receiving end. Sahuaro never submitted to the 5A powerhouse that has averaged 82 points a game this season. They kept battling

as their two star freshmen, Brown and Franke, continued to pour it in on the offensive end, with multiple rebounds in the paint and clutch baskets from behind the perimeter. With 2:30 remaining, they trailed by only nine.

Coach Candice Gonzales called a timeout and calmed her team down, and the Wildcats came out firing. They implemented a 1-3-1 full-court press that resulted in a 7-0 swing. First, Shaylee Gonzales made a steal, led a fast break for an easy layup and then stole the ensuing inbounds pass for two of her eight firsthalf points. Then VanAllen capped off the run with an and-one layup to end the half and give her team a 15-point lead heading into the break. What once seemed like an opening for Sahuaro was quickly closed. “Just composure,” Gonzales said about the message she gave to her team during that crucial timeout. “I felt like they (Sahuaro) were getting a lot of loose balls and they were converting off those loose balls. So, I just wanted to call a timeout, let them regain their composure, get some confidence and get back out there. Then they got a couple steals and it kind of took us into halftime.” Mesquite never let up after that. By the end of the third, they led by 19 and by the time the final buzzer sounded the See

Hamilton boys ready to defend state baseball title BY JAKE TRYBULSKI Tribune Contributor

ith high school baseball season just days away, Hamilton coach Mike Woods prepares his team for the road ahead and has one goal in mind: another state championship. A deep run into playoffs may be paramount, but that isn’t detouring Woods’ message to the team. “We stress playing one game at a time, and every game matters, and that’s how we talk and focus,” Woods said. The Huskies are hunting for their third consecutive state championship and fourth in five years. However, playing with a target on their back is nothing new for Hamilton. That’s something the coaching staff prepares

their players for year in, and year out. “People have been gunning for us for years, and I think we embrace it,” Woods said. “We try and get our guys prepared knowing everyone is going to try and give us their best game, and that makes us better. It doesn’t faze our guys. Not everyone gets the opportunity to go for a three-peat so what the heck, might as well run with it.” Hamilton lost a lot of talented seniors from last season, many of whom went See

Wildcats had won by 32, securing their third straight trip to the state championship. “It feels good, but it isn’t the only feeling,” VanAllen said after the Wildcats captured their berth into the state championship. “We want to win the title game and I think that’s the most important thing.” To take home that second straight state championship, VanAllen thinks there will be one crucial thing they will have to focus on in order to hoist the golden ball trophy at the end of the game Tuesday evening in Wells Fargo Arena. “Defense,” VanAllen said. “I feel like our defense always leads to our offense and were able to leak out and get easy baskets.” The Wildcats will take on No. 1 Chaparral in the AIA 5A State Championship at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27, at Wells Fargo Arena. – Contact Greg Macafee at gmacafee@ timespublications.com or at 480-898-5630 or follow @greg_macafee on Twitter and the Sports Department at @TMG__sports.

on to play baseball at the next level. The baseball factory sent 13 seniors to either the junior college, Division I or professional level. Woods highlighted the loss of a trio of three-year starters – Drew Swift (Arizona State University), Nick Brueser (Stanford) and Cole Bellinger (drafted by the San Diego Padres) – as pieces that will definitely be missed. “Swift, Brueser and Bellinger, the way they went about their daily business set a good example for everybody and that is hard to replace,” Woods said. “But we’ve lost big groups before, and I think this team is ready to turn the page.” One player Woods is leaning on to take a leadership role this year is senior catcher Britt Graham. The New Mexico State commit, who hit .391 and drove in 17 RBI last season said the team is up for the challenge in front of them. “We are eager, we want another state championship,” Graham said. “We’ve been there before. We aren’t stressed; we just are just trying to play the best game we can, one game at a time.” Along with Graham, the Huskies return four other starters around the dia-

mond. Sophomore Michael Brueser, younger brother of Nick Brueser, played left field last season but is expected to take over the duties in center. Junior J.D. McLaughlin (Oregon State commit) will play right field and looks to be a force in the lineup. Jacob Thiele, the 2017 playoff offensive MVP for Hamilton, according to Woods, will remain at third base. Cody Hedalen, who hit .377 last season in his 68 at-bats, will continue to see action as the designated hitter. Sophomore Tyler Wilson (Grand Canyon University commit) is a newcomer to watch at first base. The pitching staff returns a few familiar faces and is very deep according to Woods. The rotation will rely on senior Hayden Baker (University of Pacific commit), junior lefty Shane Murphy (Grand Canyon University commit) and junior Dustin Bermudez to lead the staff. The Huskies will also depend on newcomers Tyler Dubuque, Trey Goodrich and Kyle Ponzo to contribute on the mound as well. Bermudez was a big part of the pitching staff in 2017 posting a 2.74 ERA in 30.2 innings pitched. He knows what it takes to win a championship and spoke

21 SPORTS about some of the new additions to the team. “I’d call it a reload. The players from last year and the players up from junior varsity have been great for the team,” Bermudez said. Hamilton will play in two tournaments this year: the Desert Vista Invitational and the Horizon National Invitational. Woods had very high praise for the Horizon tournament. “The Horizon tournament is the best high school baseball tournament in the state, in my opinion,” Woods said. “Year in and year out, a lot of the top teams come in.”

Discerning truth, walking the talk /EVTNow

God’s mercy stretches as far as east is from the west BY REV. DR. BILL HOLLAND Tribune Guest Writer

od’s plans and ways are bigger than our mistakes and lost opportunities. He is not only ready to forgive and restore us, He can fill our life with confidence, hope and victory. It’s common when suffering from regret to be reminded of certain individuals that we secretly blame for our failures. However, as the water is long gone under the bridge, there is no need to hold on and replay the scenarios of what could have been – you’ve suffered enough. It’s important to consider that walking around in this negative and stressful state of mind can lead to depression, anxiety and even physical health problems. It

would be wise to make a list of those we need to forgive and sincerely pray for while making sure our name is at the top. Unforgiveness holds us in a spiritual and mental prison, and giving it over to God is the key that opens the door to freedom. We are the only one’s who can choose to put an end to our living in the misery of an unchangeable past. Alice Walker said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they do not have any.” The Bible refers to the devil as “the accuser” and this is where these negative voices are coming from. Some may try to pretend these situations never happened or that maybe they will all just go away, which sounds nice, but running away from reality does not work. Being honest with God and ourselves is the pathway to peace.

I love what the Apostle Paul said, “This one thing I do; forgetting those things which are behind, I reach forth to the things which are before me.” He is encouraging us to not only concentrate on the present but also look to the future and be sensitive to new opportunities. We have a tendency to deal with our problems our own way, but God wants to help us deal with this once and for all. Let go and allow Him to give you and brand-new start as He’s ready to fulfill the dreams and desires He’s placed in your heart. He loves us and longs to forgive us and to restore our dreams that seem to be lost forever. He can create new opportunities in ways we could never imagine. I believe our heavenly Father desires to restore the years that you’ve lost and

give you a new vision and a fresh zeal to fulfill your destiny. Being positive and optimistic about your future is a deliberate decision. Will you sincerely believe you are forgiven and accept the spiritual reality that you are worthy of His love? We know that nothing is impossible with God and His Word cannot fail. Psalm 103:11-12 is one of the greatest promises about our security and filled with the hope for all eternity. “For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” -Rev. William Holland lives in Kentucky, where he is a Christian author and community outreach chaplain.

Assyrian church marks beginning of construction BY RALPH ZUBIATE Tribune Managing Editor

he East Valley’s only Assyrian church is on the move – finally. After fundraising for 13 years, the Mar Yosip Parish has started construction of its own building in Gilbert. Until now, the congregation has been meeting in Chandler in rented spaces and the Tumbleweed Recreation Center. “We started back in 2005,” said Andrew Aziz, youth president and deacon at the church. “This is the first piece of property we’ve owned.” He added, “We’ve had a few hiccups with the city and architect, but that’s common with construction projects.” Church members came out to the site recently, at 1287 N. Recker Road, for a Laying of the Foundation Stone Ceremony. Bishop Mar Aprim Khamis, bishop of the Western United States for the Assyrian Church of the East, placed oats, salt and sugar in a cinder block and sealed it in cement as other church members sang and blessed the site. The stone will go under the altar in the completed church.

(Special to the Tribune)

Deacon Andrew Aziz helps Bishop Mar Aprim Khamis seal the foundation stone for the Mar Yosip Parish of the Assyrian Church of the East in Gilbert.

As the ceremony wrapped, the bishop offered a blessing and women of the church ululated, throwing candy in celebration. “We’ve been waiting such a long time

for this,” said Nenwe Geeso, vice president of the church’s youth association. “It’s definitely great to see it happen, especially for the younger generation.” The new building, with a chapel and

banquet hall, should open by this summer. “Now, we kind of wait,” Geeso said. “Everybody’s been super-excited to see it be built. People are going to the site all the time, so excited to see it.” Aziz said the church has bigger dreams ahead. “Our goal is to expand,” he said. “There’s a lot of people in the Assyrian community, from California and especially Chicago, who are ready to move to the East Valley when this church opens.” The church now is set to hold 240-250 people. With an influx of worshipers, the church will need more space. “If more young kids come, we’ll possibly need classrooms. We don’t have those yet,” Aziz said. “We’ll need a bigger worship space, a bigger banquet hall, classrooms. We’re looking to the future.” The church is continuing to raise funds by selling personalized bricks to be placed in the entrance foyer. Each is $500, available at projectmaryosip.com.

Hop Social Tavern hopping with menu delights BY COLLEEN SPARKS Tribune Contributing Writer

new restaurant near Chandler Fashion Center is hopping with diners eager to dig into pot pies and other comfort food and dish with their friends over happy-hour specials. A group of veteran Oregon restaurateurs opened Hop Social Tavern in November on West Chandler Boulevard just west of Loop 101 in the building where Elephant Bar had been located. The restaurant offers homemade, Americana-influenced food and 52 brews on tap in an open setting with an industrial feel, eclectic decorations and bright green booths. Two married couples, David and Christie Burnett and Bud and Kathy Gabriel, known collectively as Crossroads Restaurant Group, own the independent eatery. The four friends own three restaurants in Oregon. “I would describe it as scratch-made, Americana comfort food,” David said. “Everything from my mom’s chicken pot pie, corn fritters. I was born in Chicago; everyone’s a dipper. Everything is fresh. Nothing is frozen.” “It’s been great,” he added. “Happy hours are packed. Every day the lunches are growing. There’s families, Gen X, millennials, baby boomers. We have something for everybody.” One specialty at Hop Social Tavern is the housemade pot pie with grilled chicken breast, vegetables and homemade crust served with baked French bread ideal for dipping in the pie’s creamy filling. The menu also features buttermilk-battered crispy fried chicken, a PB&J burger with peanut butter, jalapeño grape jelly, cheddar and crispy fried onions and orange chicken with Szechuan chili peppers, onions, garlic, orange sauce and white rice. Made-from-scratch meatloaf with veal, pork, ground chuck, bacon, coffee stout gravy and buttermilk mashed potatoes, as well as glazed carrots, is another house specialty. Steak tacos, cabernet tenderloin tips and spicy mac & cheese are also some of the featured meals. A grass-fed bison burger and a variety of brick-oven pizzas add to the American appeal. A popular appetizer at the new Chandler hotspot is deep-fried donuts with ricotta,

Sleepy Dog Brewing Peanut Butter Milk Stout are among some of the local brews. Craft beers are “so popular,” David said. “They’re unique. They use local product. To have a beer that tastes like peanut butter, everyone loves it. A lot of these smaller brewers, they take some creative liberties.” The smaller beer manufacturers have fun with their creations and David said he and the other Hop Social owners enjoy coming up with new menu items and planning their restaurant concepts. The four Hop Social owners have 56 years combined experience as business owners and operators in the restaurant industry. (Kimberly Carrillo/Staff Photographer) “We’re just a couple people David and Christie Burnett, pictured here, are co-owners chasing our dream,” David said. of Hop Social Tavern, a new restaurant in Chandler.

Christie expressed enthusiasm for the started Pacific Coast Restaurants (a restaurant group that owned and operated 27 rescustomers and employees. “People in Chandler have been above and taurants) and David then worked for Farrell beyond amazing, so welcoming,” she said. at Pacific Coast Restaurants. When Farrell “People say it’s hard to find good staff. We sold that company to a private investment firm 11 years ago, David decided to leave and have just an amazing staff.” Customers can wash down the appetizers, open a restaurant. “My wife and I cashed in our 401(k)s and lunches and dinners with 52 diverse beers on tap, more than half of which are made put our money where our hearts were and in Arizona. More than 100 beer tap handles joined forces with our partners, Bud and hang on a wall, including one from the Kathy Gabriel,” David said. In March 2009, the two couples opened brewery Yuengling, founded in 1829. Behind Oswego Grill, an upscale steakhouse in Lake the beer tap handles is a bar with 62 seats.

together. David and Christie’s son, Daniel, and Daniel’s 4-year-old daughter, Malia, live in Glendale. The couple also has two friends in the Valley restaurant business. “The community has been so supportive,” David said. “We fell in love with not only the East Valley and its development but with the evolution of the Arizona food scene. We love the Lord; He blessed us. We want to just serve.” David and Christie are renting a home in Gilbert and plan to spend much time there, as well as in Canby, Oregon, where they have a home. The couple also has six grandchildren in Oregon in addition to their granddaughter in Glendale. Of their four adult children, two live in Oregon and one is in Los Angeles. Kristi Ludenia of Chandler is already enjoying Hop Social. She recently went there for a business lunch and said “it was just phenomenal.” “I thought the ambiance in the restaurant was great,” Ludenia said. “Our server was very educated. The food was fantastic. I had the crispy buttermilk chicken tenderloin salad. It was so flavorful.” She predicted the restaurant will be very successful, citing its huge outdoor area, something not easy to find at Chandler restaurants. Hop Social has two patios that have couches and fire pits to keep diners warm. Ryan Adamson, 37, of Tempe is also a big fan. “I like the food, the environment, just the whole experience,” Adamson said. “To me it’s like a higher end restaurant with a casual feel. I feel like you can have this food in a really nice upscale restaurant but it’s more a place you can go on a normal night. I love that they have local beers.” The interior of Hop Social, which is over about 7,600 square feet, houses reclaimed wood in golden hues on its tables and floors. “We’re not trying to grow crazy fast,” he said. “We’re taking our time. We have of leaders that want to grow. The bottom line is we’re very thankful for what we’ve been given.” Hop Social Tavern is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 11 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays. It’s located at 3405 W. Chandler Boulevard. Information: hopsocialtavern.com.

Tempe celebrates history, heritage with Hayden’s Ferry Days BY VIC LINOFF Tribune Guest Writer

ayden’s Ferry Days began to honor one of Tempe’s first businesses. Introduced in 1971 for the city’s centennial year, it proved to be a popular six-month celebration of heritage and history. In 2016, Peggy Bryant, Tempe Historical Society member and former Tempe Daily News reporter and editor who worked on the 100th birthday event, suggested reviving the spirit of ’71 and turning it into annual tradition. So, March 2-4, the Tempe Historical Society, along with numerous community partners, hosts the 3rd Annual Hayden’s Ferry Days – a family-friendly, city-wide festival paying homage to Tempe’s past and future. The three-day event begins with a Friday night Founder’s Day Dinner at the historic Hackett House, presented by Tempe Sister Cities. Former city council member and longtime educator Joe Spracale will emcee an evening featuring a Western-style barbecue dinner and country band Three Horse Town. Tickets for the gala are $50. Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is a free day

Among a variety of booths, displays and handson activities are cactus brick Legos, a model train layout, a display of historic gramophones, antique cars and motorcycles, and just in time for spring training, a baseball history exhibit. Along with many intriguing attractions is the Hayden’s Ferry Questers sponsored Vintage & Antique Indoor Market, and appraisal table in the Edna Vihel Center.

a guitarist – on this tour. They’re both stellar musicians. We’ll have new arrangements and new songs. It’s going to be fun. I’ll still be doing a good mix of original music, as well as some of my favorite cover tunes.” Picking up a ukulele at age 4, Shimabukuro has put a new spin on songs like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Eleanor Rigby” and “Time of the Season.” The last two tracks will appear on a new album set for release early this year. The collection’s name has yet to be announced, but the showpiece is Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” “My last record (2016’s ‘Nashville Sessions’) was all originals,” he explains. “It was my first album of all originals. This one is a combination of covers and original music. It’s exactly 50-50. Hopefully people will enjoy it. Besides ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and ‘Time of the Season,’ I did New Order’s ‘Bizarre Love Triangle,’ Jimi Hendrix’s ‘If 6 Was 9,’ with elements of ‘Little Wing’ in there, and Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You’ with an island reggae type of arrangement.” Shimabukuro has been keeping busy. He recently finished the music score for “Go for Broke,” a film about Japanese-American vet-

the likes of Willie Nelson. “I’m hoping to record more tracks with people I’ve worked with over the years; people who I’ve collaborated with or those who have supported me – basically anybody who would want to record with me,” Shimabukuro says with a laugh. “In the past, I’ve worked with some really incredible musicians like Bette Midler, Michael McDonald and Bela Fleck.

Shawn Johnson finds diversity is the perfect fit BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI GetOut Editor

hawn Johnson saw his life change at age 20. The Massachusetts native went camping with friends on Cape Cod, where he learned G-C-D on the guitar. He wrote a song that morning; it was a defining moment for Johnson who decided to pursue music for a living. “I thought, wow, I can really do this,” Johnson says. “I don’t want to say it came easy, but it was definitely for me.” It’s definitely for him. The Tempe resident has risen beyond the comparisons to Dave Matthews to define his own sound.

He performs as the Johnson Twins with Jayson Johnson (no relation), as Shawn Johnson and the Foundation with a rotating group of musicians, and solo. He recently released his sixth album, “Sunshine for Someone.” It is available via digital outlets, and will be released on vinyl in March. “I grew up on records,” Johnson says. “I always wanted to press a record. For me, records were bigger than life. I remember when I saw ‘News of the World,’ the Queen album that ‘We Will Rock You’ is on. I saw the pictures inside and thought, ‘What is that?’ It already had my interest before I heard the record.” Johnson explains he knew exactly what he wanted in “Sunshine for Someone.” “The musicians came in without written parts,” he says. “I love to record that way. I invite great musicians, listen to the song and let them play what they feel. A lot of people think I’m crazy. They want the parts down so it saves money.” Johnson hopes that listeners will see the diversity in his music. He plays blues, jazz and gypsy on the album. There’s even a track with just piano and vocals. “I have all of my loves and passions for different kinds of music on one record,” Johnson

But I don’t understand being pigeonholed. If you do a Zeppelin cover, I don’t call you a ‘Zeppelin guy.’” Music is all Johnson has wanted to do. It’s been nearly 20 years since he had a “regular job.” Music afforded him the opportunity to watch his kids grow. “A lot of people in their 20s want to be a musician, but they only give themselves a certain amount of time.
