esa knows where it’s going in the Gateway area. It just doesn’t know how to get there. The city is looking deeply into current development trends in hopes of figuring out when to build which roads for its high-flying southeastern corner. By late spring the effort will result in what will be called the Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan. It’s the first official, in-depth study of the area since 2008, when the city published the Mesa Gateway Strategic Development Plan after 18 months of research. That document analyzed potential traffic

patterns in 2030. Now, 11 years later, the city has pushed its planning horizon out by another decade, focusing on the area from Southern Avenue going north to Germann Road, and Power Road going west to Meridian Road. The study area covers about 50 square miles. Al Zubi, supervising engineer for Mesa’s transportation department, said the city already knows what streets it wants to have in place 21 years from now. They are delineated in the 2040 Mesa master plan that voters approved in 2014. A map in the 2040 plan, for example, shows Meridian – which at that point is the county line – serving as a major thoroughfare as far south as Germann. It shows Pecos Road as a six-lane arterial between Ellsworth Road and Meridian.

Building those now now-existent arterials – and the other streets needed there – will cost tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. But that money comes incrementally as voters approve bond issues one by one and as the county doles out regional transportation dollars. So, Zubi said, Mesa has to play its cards in the right order. And what might have looked like the right order in 2008 might not work anymore. “There’s a lot of development that has happened, a lot of improvements, a lot of businesses, a lot of residential,” Zubi said. “We needed to update our priorities. We know what the system is going to look like in the

Mesa police look eastward for expanded presence BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

esa police are hiring 17 new officers and detectives with the proceeds of a sales tax increase approved by voters this fall, taking the first step toward a redeployment from the creation of a new northeast Mesa patrol district. Police Chief Ramon Batista said he has a highly diverse class of 30 recruits enrolled in a new police academy – one of two this year with plans to eventually add a third. Eventually, during a three-year period, the sales tax is anticipated to pay for an additional 51 officers, 31 non-sworn professional staff members and eight detectives, according to a police budget presentation before the Mesa City Council earlier this month. “The diversity ratio has been going up and up,’’ Batista said in an interview after the meet-

ing. “In the past 18 months, I have been moving forward in making more women in positions of leadership’’ through promotions. Police trumpeted their request for a $9 million budget increase – to $196 million in fiscal year 2019-2020 from $187.2 million in fiscal year 2018-2019 – by citing a decline in both violent and property crime during 2018, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report. Mesa’s violent crime rate fell to 24.3 per 1,000 residents, the lowest the city has recorded, making it the second safest large city in the nation, slighter higher than Virginia Beach, Virginia, and lower than Long Beach and Sacramento, California, and Arlington, Texas. That fact was quickly seized upon by Mayor John Giles, after east Mesa council member Kevin Thompson criticized a oneminute longer response time in his district. “We are at all time low in regards to crime rate. That’s a big deal,’’ Giles said. He noted the council promised 65 additional police and 45 fire and medical positions when advertising a one quarter of 1 percent sales tax increase, from 1.75 percent to 2 percent, that was approved by voters in November. “We are on track to do that. Our only limitation is our capacity to train officers,’’ Giles said. “We are delivering on the promise we made to voters.’’ The increased staffing will be critical in about three years, when police realize a longtime goal by dividing the far-reaching Superstition patrol district in half, creating a fifth district in northeast Mesa. The move becomes a necessity as Mesa matures as a city, with more residents and businesses located in northeast and southeast Mesa.

This map of the Mesa Police districts shows the enormity of the district covering the eastern part of the city. Represented in green on this map, it will eventually be broken up into two districts. (City of Mesa)

Batista said he hopes to add 59 more officers in the next four years, creating a blend of 62 percent sworn officers and 38 percent civilian professional staff members. The plan would grow the department from 761 sworn officers to 820, and from 462 non-sworn to 495. City budget reports show that public safety, which includes police, fire and the Municipal Court, accounts for 58.8 percent of the budget, with police alone making up 39.3 percent, in fiscal year 2018-19. The Mesa Fire and Medical Department takes up 17.7 percent. Sgt. Nate Gafvert, president of the Mesa Police Association, said Batista should have been arguing for hiring an additional 25 officers per year, minus attrition.

He said tired officers are working double shifts in patrol, creating safety issues. “That is a high liability issue that we should be concerned with,’’ Gafvert said. “They are prone to making poor decisions when they are tired and cranky.’’ “It’s a step in the right direction,’’ he said about the hiring plan, “but we are not happy. What he’s asking for will sustain us where we are right now.’’ Thompson, a frequent advocate of his growing southeast Mesa council district, raised similar concerns and complained about a chart in the presentation that documented the longer response time in Superstition. Thompson questioned whether Batista’s plan was aggressive enough to cope with population growth and attrition from retirements. “It seems like we’re the little Dutch kid and the dam. We’re just plugging problems,’’ Thompson said. “Why aren’t we solving problems instead of just plugging holes.’’ Batista agreed the department is shorthanded and that the staffing has fluctuated, with a loss of 20 sworn officers in the 2017-18 fiscal year after a gain of 13 the previous year. “I’ll take as many as you can afford for us to have,’’ Batista said. “You could give us 50 officers today and we would find something for all of them to do.’’ Gafvert said that at this Mesa Police Academy recruits are being put through their paces as they study to become sworn officers. (Special to the Tribune) point, Batista should know

exactly how many officers he needs and should have been a better advocate for the department. Batista and Assistant Chief Ken Cost, who heads the patrol division, said the longer response time in east Mesa is largely a function of geography – with police traveling longer distances to respond to calls in the far-flung district. The Superstition District stretches from Mesa’s northeast border near the Tonto National Forest to south of Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport. It covers 70 square miles and Gilbert could fit inside its borders, Cost said. Traditionally, the Fiesta and central patrol districts, near Fiesta Mall and downtown Mesa, are the city’s busiest. While that pattern is still accurate, the mix is in flux as east Mesa grows, especially near the airport. In 2018, Central recorded 45,878 calls for service, compared to 45,443 for Fiesta, 42,161 for Red Mountain and 40,161 for Superstition. Although Fiesta and Red Mountain have been relatively stable since 2015, the largest increases in calls have been posted by central and particularly Superstition, which recorded 4,000 less in 2015. The chart that clearly concerned Thompson demonstrated the disparity in response times between west and east Mesa, a longstanding problem in both the Mesa police and fire departments. Central’s response time was shortest at 3:17 minutes, compared to Fiesta at 3:30, Red Mountain at 3:51 and Superstition at 4:53. Thompson questioned why more officers are not getting shifted from Fiesta to Superstition. Cost said that officers are being re-assigned each year, usually only a few at a time, based on crime trends and demographic changes. City Manager Chris Brady said Superstition currently has 76 officers, compared with 75 in Central, 80 in Red Mountain and 95 in Fiesta. Cost said the main issue with the Superstition response times is geography, with the other districts far smaller in size. Fiesta, for instance, covers 15.6 square miles and Central 12.3 square miles. He said it’s important to put the response times in prospective. “Even Superstition is very low compared to other police departments,’’ Cost said. Batista said the Northeast district exists only as a concept and a location for the new station, part of a major capital improvement and bond plan, has not been chosen. He said that when the Northeast district is created, the Fiesta district will likely lose a beat or two and the Central district likely would shrink slightly.

EV lawmaker punts on school district merger bill TRIBUNE NEWS STAFF

Michael Myrick and board member John King – both Republicans – called merging a bad idea for the two districts. A combined Kyrene-Tempe Union district could also have included Tempe Elementary, bringing total student population to 40,000. King said mergers made sense for those districts with only one or two schools, but not for Kyrene and Tempe Union, which have 25 and seven campuses, respectively. Efforts to force consolidation have been discussed for more than a decade. In 2001, a Senate panel approved a measure creating an independent commission to consolidate the more than 200 school districts in the state to no more than 90. Those that refused would be denied state aid. It died after drawing fire from officials from some smaller districts, who argued with the presumption that small is bad and wasteful. Five years later, a special School District Redistricting Commission created by the Legislature proposed at least forcing a vote in each district on consolidation. But that failed to produce the desired results.

yrene and Tempe Union High School districts will remain separate for now after an Apache Junction legislator failed to find sufficient support in the State Legislature to push his consolidation bill to the floor for a vote. Under a plan that won initial approval from the Senate Appropriations Committee, Kyrene and Tempe Union were prime targets for consolidation with scores of other elementary and secondary districts across the state by 2024 – without residents’ approval. But Republican Rep. John Fillmore announced Tuesday, telling Green Valley Newspapers that he was giving up because he didn’t have the votes to pass it. “There are too many people more concerned with maintaining the status quo than with the welfare of children,” said Fillmore, who had contended that the Apache Junction Rep.

Conservatives rally on Town’s front lawn BY CECILIA CHAN AND JIM WALSH Tribune Staff

acek Spendel founded Project Arizona three years ago to push liberty in countries where there are none. He does that by bringing six students each year to Arizona from the Eastern Bloc or Socialist countries to study ideas of liberty and how to implement them when they return home. “The cause of liberty is universal,” said Spendel, who is from Poland. “If you guys fall as Americans what examples can we follow?” Spendel was one of more than a dozen speakers at last week’s Patriotism Over Socialism rally at Gilbert Civic Center. The speakers focused their attacks largely against undocumented immigrants and socialism. Gilbert officials, who last year officially adopted its nickname Kindness USA, made it clear the rally was a private event not associated with the town. The event coordinators went through the town’s Special Event permitting process to rent the Municipal Complex’s site for $700, according to town spokeswoman Jennifer Harrison. The fee included $450 for a full-day rental cost, $100 for a permit and $150 for six hours of having staff on site. Gilbert resident Kevin Jackson, a former Fox contributor, author, radio host and founder of Tea Party Community put together the free event. It featured local conservative heavyweights such as U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs of Mesa; former state Sen. Russell Pearce of Mesa, the architect of SB 1070, a strict anti-immigration legislation that passed nine years ago; and Kelli Ward, chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party and an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate. A few hundred people attended the three-hour event on Tax Day, turning it into a semblance of a Trump campaign rally with signs and banners proclaiming “Re-elect Trump 2020” and a vendor hawking “Make America Great Again” and “Trump 2020” hats and T-shirts. Many of the attendees came dressed for the occasion, sporting red MAGA hats and T-shirts with messages such as “Liberal free zone,” “Make liberals cry again, Trump 2020.” and “Don’t tread on me, American born free—live proud.’’ A flag that resembled the American flag, except the stripes were replaced by a series of assault rifles that looked like AR-15s was flying from a pole carried by a man.

Other event headliners included Laura Loomer, an anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist, and Sharon Slater, a Gilbert resident and founder of Family Watch International, which promotes itself as a family values organization but is considered an anti-LGBT hate group by SPLC. Family Watch opposes abortion, sex education in school and believes marriage is between a man and a woman and that same-sex attraction can be fixed. According to SPLC, it tracked 20 hate groups in Arizona for 2018, up from the 18 for 2016 and eight for 2000. Overall, it tracked 1,020 hate groups in the country for 2018, an increase from the 954 tracked in 2017. There was no obvious police presence or counter-protestors at the rally, which was promoted as a family-friendly event and included three food trucks. Jackson, who is African-American, countered SPLC ’s characterization of the rally by saying he put together the event with diversity in mind. He said that eight of the scheduled speakers are women, including two Muslims, a Jewish woman and two Latinas. Miranda Dawson, a spokeswoman for the rally, said Jackson has been involved in politics for over a decade and wanted to bring his connections to Arizona. “The event is just a place to be inspired and educated and network with others,” she said hours before the rally’s start. “We are just trying to bring all the dif-

Mesa mayor seeks young people for job program BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

ith unemployment rates down, Mesa Mayor John Giles is trying to prepare the city’s youth for the workforce. The Mayor’s TeenForce is a fourweek program that pairs Mesa teens with local businesses to complete unpaid internships, while incorporating service projects and job skills training along the way. The goal of the program, said Giles, is to teach students skills in leadership, teamwork, communication and responsibility as a means to guide them toward the field of their choice. “There’s a lot of times where we think we’re passionate about something and spend years of education going down that path. Then, when we show up for work, we quickly realize, ‘I hate this,’” he said, adding: “We want young people to have hands-on experience with a potential career choice and see if it confirms or discourages them from pursuing it.” The program encompasses careers in industries ranging from healthcare, engineering, education and law. Around 48 businesses are set to participate this year, including CN Resources, Banner Baywood Medical Center, Everything Bundt Cakes, Arthur Murray Dance Studio, Falcon Field Airport, IDEA Museum and A New Leaf. According to the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity, the unemployment rate for Maricopa county is 4.1 percent – compared to the 4.9 percent in January and 4.3 percent last year. Because of this, Giles said he believes it’s beneficial for students to see what they’re up against after graduation. “It’s good news that people are continuing to find work here. We want to make sure that Mesa continues to provide a great workforce,” he said. “Workforce development, including practical training like the Mayor’s TeenForce, is critical to having a workforce that’s going to continue to attract great employment opportunities,” he added. The program, which is in its second year, takes place over the summer so

that classes won’t interfere with the on-the-job learning experience. The students will work up to 20 hours per week as interns from May 29 to June 26. TeenForce is the brainchild of several students who participated in a separate youth-based program, the Mayor’s Youth Committee. The committee is a year-long program in which students interact with local officials to learn the ins and outs of city government. “One of the things they do at the end of that program is make pitches to the mayor for ways to improve the city,” said Giles. “Two years ago, we had around six presentations from these great kids, and coincidentally, four of them were all recommending we do an internship program for teenagers – they identified that that’s something they would benefit from a lot.” Shortly after, the city repurposed one of its other teenage service programs to become the Mayor’s TeenForce. Although the service program no longer exists, the mayor explained that the students in the TeenForce will still have opportunities to do service work. This year, the service projects will focus on food insecurity in partnership with local food banks. The students and service recipients aren’t the only ones who will reap the benefits of this year’s TeenForce program though – the businesses will too, explained Giles. “Workforce development is something that we spend a lot of time and energy on in the city. We want employers to come to Mesa and stay in Mesa,” he said. “This [TeenForce] helps the businesses in Mesa get introduced to young people that potentially could be full-time employees.” The mayor added that several students were offered jobs after last year’s program. TeenForce requires that all applicants live in Mesa, or attend a school in Mesa, and are either juniors or seniors in high school. Applications are due May 3, and can be found at mesaaz.gov/city-hall/ mayor-council/mayor-john-giles/ teenforce.

ranted. “If I follow a car for more than two minutes I have ample reasons to stop it,’’ he said. While some people, like Kanvanagh and Finchem, voted for both the texting ban and the distracted driving measure, some did not. The problem with HB 2318, according to Grantham, is that it is overly broad. He pointed out that, as approved, it does more than make it illegal for a motorist to have a cellphone in hand. It would also be a violation if someone “supports (a cellphone) with any part of the person’s body’’ unless the motorist is also using a hands-free device. “That could be sitting in your lap,’’ he complained. “That’s way restrictive.’’ House Majority Leader Petersen-Gilbert, said it would be one thing if the legislation was limited to things like texting or checking social media. But he said there’s nothing inherently dangerous with talking on a cellphone, even without a hands-free device. “There have been people who have driven their whole lives holding their phone up, talking on their phone, that have not had an accident, myself included,’’ he said. Petersen said it would be one thing if this was “We’re going to make an awful lot of people lawbreakers with this bill.’’ That argument that people can talk and drive did not impress Rep. Randy Friese, D-Tucson. “That doesn’t mean its safe,’’ he said. But Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, said HB 2318 actually can lead to less safety. He pointed out that people get Amber alerts about missing children, and silver alerts on missing seniors, on their cellphones, information which includes a description of the vehicle being sought. “That life is just as important,’’ Cook said, with this law barring people from checking out these messages while driving. Today’s votes occurred with family members of those killed by texting motorists watching in the gallery. House Minority Leader Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, specifically addressed the survivors of Clayton Townsend, an officer with the Salt River Police Department who was killed when he was struck by a texting motorists while conducting a traffic stop. “We’re going to get it done today,’’ she told them. “I understand the pain of what happened, of losing these officers,’’ said Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale. But he voted against the measure, saying “it goes a little bit too far.’’

ferent groups together to work together to build a better grassroots organization in Arizona. That is our long-term vision and goal.” Spendel during his speech also bashed SPLC, calling its comments on the rally “B.S.” and said people like New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, are “crazies.” “Please stop it,” he told the audience. “I beg you as a citizen of Poland.” Mary Ann Mendoza, an “Angel Mom” also spoke. Her son Mesa Police Sgt. Brandon Mendoza was killed in 2014 by a drunken driver who was in the country illegally and had a criminal history. Since then, she’s been advocating for tougher immigration laws. “Angel Families is a club I don’t want any of you become part of,” Mendoza said. The nonprofit advocacy group is for relatives of victims killed by those in the country illegally. Mendoza showed the audience pictures of those killed by “repeat illegal alien criminals”- Grant Ronnebeck, a Mesa convenience clerk, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and Mendoza’s son. She said criminals in the country illegally served less prison time than an

Arizona resident and she cited statistics to bolster her claim that those who come to the county illegally were a financial drain. She also said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is severely understaffed to oversee a border she said is controlled by the Mexican drug cartel. She said the group is fighting sanctuary policies in California, Florida, Colorado, New Jersey, Texas and Maryland and that a movement was underway both in Tucson and Flagstaff to have them declared as a sanctuary city. She added the group was starting a “Blood on your Hand Campaign” to “call out politicians who refused to stand with our president.” The crowd cheered and one man shouted out, “build that wall,” a rallying cry for Trump supporters. Mendoza added there are plans to put on billboards across the country pictures of victims killed by a “Dreamer” or an “illegal alien.” “Dreamer” refers to those who were brought to this county illegally as a child and attend school or work using the DACA program. “I say build the wall,” said Ward, who acknowledged Mendoza and other families like hers. She added President Trump’s idea to

send undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities was a win-win. Dr. Ward lost her U.S. Senate bid to Martha McSally in the GOP primary in 2018. Ward said there are enemies inside the country and outside who want to overthrow the government and replace it with a failed system of socialism. “The left continues to move further away from reality,” she said, adding socialism would destroy the founding tenets of the United States. “There’s never been a more important time to embrace American patriotism,” she added. And the way to deflect socialists was to re-elect Trump in 2020, she said holding up a Trump campaign sign. “Re-electing President Trump is my No. 1 priority,” she said. Sitting in lawn chairs enjoying the rally were Ginger Niesen and her next-door neighbor Debbi MacNicol, who drove from North Phoenix. They’ve known each other for 25 years. “I’m in support of limiting government, of freedom and standing for freedom of speech,” said Niesen for why she came out for the event. She said she was very much against those who come into the country illegally and that the border wall must be built.

“I’ve seen the destruction in the country,” she said of the illicit drugs that pour over from the southern border. She said many blame the over 70,000 U.S. drug deaths in 2017 on doctors when 85 percent of the drugs enter the country from the south. She also cited Trump’s assertion that one in three women is sexually assaulted on the long journey north. “I don’t encourage a system where women and children are being raped and Congress sits on their hands and do nothing,” the 68-year-old woman said. “It’s very frustrating.” MacNicol, on the other hand, faulted the school system for the younger generation’s fascination with socialism. “They are not teaching American history in schools,” she said. “In history books now we are the bad guys and I’m sorry but America is not the bad guy. “A whole young generation thinks socialism is great. It’s not even great on paper. These kids don’t know, they think it’s a wonderful idea. The only way socialism succeeds is because capitalism funds it.” Both Niesen and MacNicol, 64, traveled to the border, south of Sierra Vista, four years ago to check it out and they said there is no wall where they went. “I have great compassion for people

Marines to honor Mesa woman for her service ing to make a difference for others. Hanley will receive the Service Above Self award at the May 18 awards dinner, an award that recognizes individuals for their lifetime of commitment to volunteerism and community. At age 16, she worked as a candy striper at St. Joseph’s Hospital and rocked babies born to drug addicted mothers at Maricopa County Medical Center. She served as chairman of the Phoenix Heart Ball in 1995, was Heart Ball Sweetheart in 2003, served with Lee as honorary chairmen in 2008 and continues to serve as an advisor. Nancy and Lee also served as co-chairs of Valley of the Sun United Way and chairs for Arizona Diamondbacks Charities in 2008. Nancy is also dedicated to organizations that help women and children, including Fresh Start Women’s Foundation, Ryan House and Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center. She was on the board of directors of HomeBase Youth Services for six years

and co-chaired their Doorway of Hope Gala in 2000. Her generosity also extends to the Marine Corps, where she funds scholarships through the foundation to assist the children of veterans. While Hanley’s philanthropic career is focused locally, General Goodman’s history of service spans the globe. Following a collegiate football career at ASU, he attended training camp with the New Orleans Saints in 1967 when he received a draft notice. He placed his dreams of playing professional football on hold to join the Army and serve as an infantry officer. After a decorated combat tour, he returned to the Saints, but a clavicle injury derailed his pro career. The military, however, beckoned. “I needed to be working toward something more important than myself or a bottom line,” said Goodman, a Mesa resident.

The foundation is looking for sponsorships and raffle items. The Bausch Foundation, who donated $5,000, is the presenting sponsor.

The Foundation Fighting Blindness meets monthly to share stories and to hear speakers. The tournament is its largest fundraising event. Thompson hopes the Foundation Fighting Blindness’ efforts will pay off for the sake of her children and grandchildren. “I hate to see one of my grandchildren go through something like this,” she added. “So far they don’t think my children have inherited the gene. They still have to get gene tested to find out for sure. I followed in the footsteps of my father. They felt if my kids had inherited it, they would all follow the same pattern as me.” Al Linde has had similar experiences. The 68-year-old has been legally blind since 2013 from macular degeneration. He can still see well enough to play golf. “I have good friends who tell me where it went,” Linde said. “I play golf about once a week. I’ve been involved with Fighting Blindness for about four years.”

ancy Hanley of Mesa and Lt. Gen. John Goodman, USMC (Ret) have spent a lifetime assisting others – one on a world stage, one in the close-knit philanthropic community of Phoenix. On May 18, their paths will intersect, and their contributions will be recognized during the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s annual Arizona Awards Dinner. The foundation is the nation’s oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships for military children. Thirty years before Pat Tillman, Goodman blazed his own path between athlete and solider. The standout quarterback at Arizona State University (ASU) put a promising NFL career on hold to pick up a rifle and go to war. Goodman returned safely from a combat tour in Vietnam and that experience helped shape his life. The war would also have a profound

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

Mesa sailor’s eye on weather helps keep Navy safe BY BRYAN DUNN Tribune Guest Writer

ost Americans rely on weather forecasts to plan their daily routine. The U.S. Navy is no different. With numerous ships, submarines and airplanes deployed in the U.S. Pacific Fleet’s area of operations, sailors stationed at Fleet Weather Center San Diego, make it their primary mission to monitor weather conditions in support of the fleet’s daily operations. Airman Israel Torres, a 2016 Williams Field High School graduate and native of Mesa, is one of these sailors serving at the Fleet Weather Center, providing full-spectrum weather services to shore-based commands and afloat naval units. As a Navy aerographer’s mate, Torres is responsible for ensuring the safe navigation of Navy ships by providing detailed weather forecasts. Torres credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Mesa. “Playing sports helped me gain a lot of

Fleet Weather Center San Diego provides U.S. and coalition ship, submarine and aircraft weather forecasts including en route and operating area forecasts. The U.S. Pacific Fleet is the world’s largest fleet command, encompassing 100 million square miles – nearly half the Earth’s surface, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle and from the West Coast of the United States into the Indian Ocean. Being stationed in San Diego, the principal homeport of the Pacific Fleet, means Torres is playing an important part in the U.S.’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Torres is most proud of earning Sailor of the Month honors for January 2019. “I’m proud of it because it felt good to

be recognized for the effort I put in, and it was a great start to the new year,” said Torres. “When I joined, I wanted to leave the Navy better than when I came in. Being recognized means I am doing something right.” Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Torres, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Torres is honored to carry on that family tradition. “My godfather is a Marine,” said Torres. “He was a role model for me growing up, and I really looked up to him. He led me down the right path.” As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Torres and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs. “Serving means making my family proud,” added Torres. “That’s the number one thing, being a role model for my younger siblings, and being someone they can look up to the way that I look up to my godfather.”

Awards Dinner. “We’re honored to recognize them and their commitment to assisting others.” Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded $120 million in scholarships to 40,000 recipients. In Arizona alone, more than $11 million has been raised since 2009. Every child of a Marine or Navy Corpsman who served with Marines is eligible. Information: mscf.org/arizoandinner.

“I’m very interested in finding a cure,” said Linde, a retired letter carrier. “I hate to see other people having to go through this. I have a sister in Indiana who’s just been fighting it for the last nine months. It’s a horrible thing to go through and I’d love to see research produce a cure.”

Indoor rock-climbing business sprouting up in EV BY ARIELLA NARDIZZI Tribune Contributor

nce regarded as an extreme sport for “mountain men,” the popularity of rock climbing has skyrocketed – especially at indoor centers – with more facilities opening in the East Valley to cater to climbers. Hundreds of colorful plastic holds are methodically set on several-story climbing walls to challenge people of all skill levels. For climbers, the sky’s the limit – or, in this case, the limit stretches to the top of a 30-foot wall. There are 478 indoor climbing gyms around the U.S. and the trend is far from tapering off: 2017 saw a record-breaking 43 facilities open, the most in a single year, according to data from the Climbing Business Journal. In or near the East Valley, there are four major climbing facilities: Phoenix Rock Gym (PRG) and Climbmax Climbing Gym, both in Tempe, Focus Climbing Center in Mesa and Black Rock Bouldering Gym in East Phoenix. Each one is different in the specialties and services they offer. Phoenix Rock Gym, Arizona’s oldest climbing gym, opened in 1992, when indoor climbing was still a relatively new sport. Paul Diefenderfer, founder and owner of the gym, said he’s been climbing since 1975 and was skeptical of climbing indoors at first. But in 1992, he and a friend each put in $10,000 to create Arizona’s first indoor rock gym. “We’ve kept it pretty much the same,” Diefenderfer said, since it opened 27 years ago. “It’s always been an easy-going atmosphere. We try to make it as safe as humanly possible, yet still keep the thrill of climbing in there.” Since 2016, the gym has brought in approximately 20,000 visitors annually, he estimates, despite growing competition. He said they have enjoyed an increase of 1,200 new members in the first quarter of this year. “When I started, PRG was the first gym in the state and we had the whole market to ourselves,” Diefenderfer said. “We’re busier than ever so the market’s growing. Indoor climbing makes it easy and acces-

sible for people to do.” While much of indoor climbing’s success can be attributed to the accessibility of the sport, Diefenderfer said the trend has also grown by attracting climbers who aren’t interested in the more traditional outdoor rock climbing. “When it first started, it was mostly just climbers looking for a place to work out so they could be that much better on weekend trips,” Diefenderfer said. “Now there’s a large majority of people that climb indoors who never go outside. This is their sport in and of itself.” There are still some outdoors climbers who use the gym as training grounds, however. Angela Foley, founder and president of Sun Devil Climbing at Arizona State University (ASU), still prefers climbing in the great outdoors. Foley, who’s been climbing for eight years, initially got into the sport for the competition aspect of it. Now, she climbs for fun. “When I first started climbing, I was a total gym rat,” Foley said. “As I started climbing outside, climbing inside became more of just a playground. My motivation for climbing inside is to just get better for climbing outdoors.” Cassie Rezac, an ASU senior who got

into the sport eight months ago, climbs specifically for the exercise. “A lot of people use climbing as a form of exercise,” Rezac said. “I don’t like going to the gym because I get bored, but going to the rock gym is so much more fun.” Rezac began climbing after seeing the Oscar-winning film “Free Solo:” a documentary highlighting rock climber Alex Honnold’s 3,000-foot climb to the top of Yosemite’s El Capitan without a rope. After his climb made headlines in June 2017, many considered this to be the greatest feat in rock climbing history, if not the greatest sports achievement of all time. “The media coverage of climbing recently has attracted an audience that may not have paid attention to the sport in the past,” Rezac said. “Honnold showed people that rock climbing is a lot of fun.” The attention is not going away. It was just recently announced that climbing would be included in the 2020 Olympics for the first time – a major milestone for the sport. Joe Czerwinski, founder and owner of Mesa’s Focus Climbing Center, has gained a wealth of knowledge about competition climbing since he began 26 years ago. Before opening the gym in 2013, Czerwinski was a rock-climbing route setter and worked for the X Games in the U.S. and

Asia. He competed with the U.S. National team as a climber, and then progressed to a coaching position. Despite having a speciality in competition climbing, Czerwinski’s motivation for climbing is still the outdoors. “The appeal of the indoors comes from wanting more from the outdoors,” Czerwinski said. Focus is unlike PRG in that it emphasizes bouldering, a form of climbing on smaller rock formations without a rope and harness, but from no more than 20 feet off the ground. The gym attracts climbers more interested in this particular form of climbing, which is what Czerwinski was hoping to achieve with this more specialized gym. “I was tired of the Phoenix model of a climbing gym—lots of vertical top ropes and a small bouldering area,” Czerwinski said. “I wanted to create a training area where the gym and wall design unites the community, not splitting them into different areas.” One climber who specializes in bouldering is David Caparon, an ASU sophomore who started rock climbing 12 years ago. Caparon climbs at both PRG and Focus, depending on the type of climbing he wants to practice. “I really look for what has the multifaceted activities for me,” Caparon said. “I need a gym that offers various types of climbing.” Although Caparon has had experience climbing outdoors, he feels the appeal of indoor climbing comes from a combination of accessibility and safety. “Indoors, you’re pulling on perfectly formed pieces of plastic that are wellmade with no chance of it breaking,” Caparon said. “Outside, you always have to worry about rocks breaking, how sharp the rocks are, how risky the actual situation is.” Caparon also attributed the rise in popularity to the changing nature of the sport as a whole. “It’s a lot more approachable nowadays. The old narrative of climbing was hardcore mountain men trying to overcome these intense rock walls,” Caparon said. “Now, you have kids flashing really hard routes. It’s a normal and totally acceptable thing in the sports community now.”

My long relationship with cell phones has soured BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

y long relationship with the cell phone began in 1993, at my first job in the newspa-

per business. The device was a Motorola MicroTAC, if memory serves me correctly. Rudimentary compared to today’s “smart phones,” the thing was about the weight and size of a fully loaded hoagie sandwich. It took no pictures. It sent no texts. It had no apps. Hell, it barely completed a telephone call without first dropping the call five or six times. But still, I remember well what I told my friends and colleagues. “This is great. Now I’ll never miss an important phone call.” A quarter century later, I am still awaiting my first stern command from the White House operator: “Please hold for the President of the United States.”

Apparently, no world leaders have me on speed dial. I’m not sure exactly when, but sometime in the past few years I began to hate my cellphone with the sort of intense loathing most people reserve for life’s true abominations: Income taxes; pineapple on pizza; Phoenix Suns’ owner Robert Sarver; and putzes who take up two parking spaces. My resentment hit its apex last month. Determined to better understand my cell phone addiction, I began to use an app called Moment, which tracks how often and how long you use your phone. The numbers blew me away. After monitoring my phone use for a couple weeks, I discovered that on an average day I picked up the phone 105 times – and spent about three hours a day using the wretched little device. According to Moment, that constitutes about 22 percent of my waking life. Throw in time working on a laptop or reading a book on my iPad and it’s no

wonder my eyes feel rectangular most afternoons come 3 p.m. Nor am I special in this regard: According to multiple studies by Nielsen, Comscore and other culture analysts, the average screen time for Americans in 2019 exceeds four hours a day. While many of those hours are productive – writing for work, calling or texting loved ones, mapping a destination, listening to Spotify while we workout – the discouraging part comes from all the passive staring we do. In the last 10 days, I’ve logged more than 75 minutes a day on social media. Given how little value we derive from looking at people’s humble brags or pictures of their lunch, that’s an hour-plus daily I feel I want back. The solution? I’ve removed the biggest time-waster apps from my phone, making them harder to access. I’ve also taken to leaving the phone in the backseat while I drive, unless I need the map for directions.

I’m also rooting for the Arizona Legislature to finally pass a ban on the use of handheld devices by drivers – a measure set for a House vote on the morning I wrote this column. Currently, 47 states have banned texting while driving. And 16 states have banned all use of handheld devices by anyone operating a vehicle. Normally, I don’t rely on the government to help discourage my own bad behavior. I’ll make an exception in this case, however, because this addiction feels especially hard to break. And because like everyone else who’s ever driven on a Valley freeway, I’ve seen more than my share of swerving idiots looking down — not at the road, but at the cell phone between their knees. Maybe such a ban, coupled with my newfound determination to wean myself from screens, means when that one vital phone call finally comes in, I’ll miss it. I guess that’s okay. I’ve been waiting 26 years for life-changing news that has yet to arrive. What’s a few more minutes?

Passing of last Doolittle’s Raiders went unnoticed BY JIM BARBER Tribune Guest Writer

.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Dick Cole’s passing April 9 raised barely a ripple of interest. But Lt. Cole was a genuine American hero. Today’s youth display scant knowledge, interest or patience with the history of the blood that has been shed to raise them to their current sheltered existence, of which they do much complaining. It is men and women of such courage and dedication to freedom that has assured them that privilege. Lt. Cole was the last surviving member of an elite group of 80 Airmen who, in one of our country’s darkest hours, gave it hope that by courage and dedication. Under the command of Colonel James Doolittle, this small band struck

the first American offensive blow of the war against Japan, shocking that nation and its leaders. America had just begun to fight. Japanese commanders were humiliated, confused and confounded because they had no idea from where the aircraft had launched the attack. They paused offensive planning and refocused on Midway Island, which became a pivotal battle and turning point in the Pacific War. The Doolittle Raiders had been launched from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. His all-volunteer unit had been training and practicing short runway take-offs without knowing what they were going to be asked to do. When they boarded the Hornet, watching their aircraft being swung aboard, they assumed they would be off-loaded elsewhere. Once at sea, Doolittle finally told them the plan. He gave every man a chance, no repercussions,

to back out of what seemed like a nearsuicide mission. The plan was to get close enough to Japan so that they could make their bombing runs, fly straight on to mainland China to land at a Chinese airstrip. Unfortunately, the small fleet ran across a Japanese fishing trawler. Afraid that the boat had radioed Tokyo of their presence, it was determined that the raid had to be launched immediately – 200 miles farther away from their target than planned. It was almost a guarantee that fuel would not last long enough to reach the safety of the Chinese army lines. Again, every man was given the chance to back out, with no stigma attached. Again, every man stood fast. To make matters worse, the fleet was in storm conditions. The pilots would run their engines up to top speed while standing on the brakes, then release

and hope the timing was immaculate – which it was for all 16 aircraft. No power assisted take-off was available in those days – just the guts and skill of the pilots and Navy personnel. Though it did little damage, the bombing and strafing of Japan by 16 American aircraft was a scandal that shook the confidence of the Japanese people and their leaders. The Doolittle Raid is an iconic example of bravery of which all Americans, and especially the youth of our country, should be aware. That the last surviving member of that heroic band of men would pass with so little notice is tragic. How can we expect young Americans to fully appreciate what they have inherited if they do not know, or understand, what has been sacrificed for them? -Mesa resident Jim Barber is a retired Marine who has authored a book about his days in boot camp.

Venardos Circus harkens back to another time GET OUT STAFF

ingling Brothers may have pulled out of the circus set, but one of their former ringleaders has filled the void and performing in Tempe. Kevin Venardos, who formed Venardos Circus in 2014, is offering his show of shows through April 28 at Singh Meadows, 1490 E. Weber Drive, Tempe. “Circus is part of America’s cultural fabric and we want to keep that tradition alive for generations to come,” Venardos said. The Venardos Circus wraps world-class, animal-free circus acts into a Broadway musical-style format dubbed “The American Circus with the heart of a Broadway Show.” During its first visit to Arizona, a circus spokeswoman said, “guests can expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition; but one that has been reinvented for the next generation.”

Venardos has been ringmaster of several circuses including Ringling, Big Apple Circus and Vargas – before he set up his own. An interactive pre-show party begins one hour before each show time with opportunities to meet the cast, snap selfies and play games. Classic circus treats like popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs, lemonade and more are available. The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission.

Imogene "Jean" Bauermeister

Jean, 24 Aug 1931-2 Apr 2019, was born in Oklahoma to Walter Guy and Lillian (Woodruff) Buckmaster. The family moved to California in 1943 where she attended school alongside her brother, Samuel and sister, Martha Joy. Jean loved to dance and it was during one such weekend she met her future husband, Neal W. Bauermeister. Together they created and raised a family of 7 children who were always the joys of her long life. Relocating to Arizona in 1971, Jean continued her hobbies of reading, watching mystery TV shows and listening to country music. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband, and son, Donald N. Bauermeister. Jean is survived by daughter, Tereasa (Dennis Ritzler, Sr); son, Tom (Karen); daughters, Karen (Harry Beaman); Linda Carmouche; Cathy (Larry Hamler); Sharon (Donald Prince); by grandchildren: Michael Bauermeister; Jodi (Cory Jicinsky); Christopher Beaman; Melissa (Andreas Meinel); Kelli (Tony Conti); Tedy Bauermeister; David Millanez (Monique); Ryan Bauermeister (Natalie); Bridgit (Eric Lewis); John Beaman (Deena); Amanda Bauermeister; Justin Hamler (Becca); Lisia (Thomas Hoyne); Becca (Travis Schallot); Shawn Carmouche; Terrill Carmouche; Enimoa Kale, Jr (Eliana); Jessica (Matt Schrum); Eric Carmouche (Emily); Dennis Ritzler, Jr. She is also survived by 32 great-grandchildren as well as loving nieces and nephews. Jean’s house was always crowded and loud it was for sure, but there was always an extra chair to be found or a pillow for a tired head. SPG HOSPICE 7975 N Hayden Rd #B200 Scottsdale, AZ 85258

REX charges 70% less than traditional agents.

THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | APRIL 21, 2019

REX is coming soon to Phoenix. Traditional agents like fine print and big commissions. Us, not so much. With REX you pay just a 2% total fee to sell your home, not the 6% agents typically charge.

Full-service. Lowest fee. Game-changing technology.

REX’s agents are clear, concise and to the point… A huge benefit was the fact that everyone talked to each other to get things done. So we did really well and saved so much through all of this…but the people were really what got us through this. Thank you REX team for all your help! -The Bird Family, Bought and Sold with REX
