Rebirth comes slowly to aging parts of Mesa BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor

outhwest Mesa didn’t lose its vibe – a vibe that once included the region’s premier shopping mall – overnight. So, no one expects that vibe to come back overnight, either. And when – if – it does, it will be nothing like the magnetic attraction that drew shoppers and diners a generation ago. Outlines of that future are beginning to emerge, one property at a time, under the watchful eye of a city government that has invested tens of millions of dollars into the region over the past few years. It’s happening under auspices of what Mesa calls the Southwest Redevelopment Area Plan,

a scheme approved by the City Council in September 2017. On paper, the planning area looks like the work of a gerrymander artist gone mad. From just south of Broadway Road, it includes irregular swaths along both sides of Country Club Drive southward to U.S. 60. From Country Club and Southern Avenue, it stretches westward to the Tempe border, at one point dipping south of the freeway to include a couple of venerable retail centers on either side of Alma School Road. It includes two of Mesa’s most notoriously distressed properties: Fiesta Mall and, just to the north, the long-vacant Fiesta Village shopping center. Within these boundaries, passage of the re-

development plan allows Mesa to use a variety of development incentives, including ones that give tax breaks to property owners willing to participate in the area’s makeover. It’s not as if there aren’t already lots of jobs in the immediate vicinity. Banner Desert Medical Center and Mesa Community College, for example, lie just outside the planning area boundary. But that didn’t save Fiesta Mall, Fiesta Village or other retail centers whose customers melted away as newer, glitzier shopping venues opened in the region. Some of those centers already have been redeveloped – most recently and notably a large

n a rare display of bipartisanship, Democrats and Republicans in the State Legislature unanimously passed a bill requiring suicide prevention training for all school personnel who deal with students in grades 6 through 12. Responding to the anguish of parents who lost sons and daughters to suicide – including 33 in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa and Queen Creek and five others in neighboring communities since July 2017 – both chambers last week wasted little time in passing the bill. The bill mandates training every three years for teachers, administrators and even bus drivers

Mesa tourism agency now autism certified BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

isit Mesa is officially the country’s first ever destination marketing organization to become autism certified – meaning its staff is fully equipped to help those on the spectrum plan for a fun-packed vacation in the city. The organization, which promotes, markets and sells Mesa as a premiere destination for business and leisure travel, was recently certified by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IDCCES). Visit Mesa President/CEO Marc Garcia said his staff and governing board underwent more than 100 hours of specialized training to learn the ins and outs of how to best cater to those who have the sensory disorder. “We feel Mesa is the perfect place to make this history,” he said. “Mesa has always been known as a family-friendly destination and I think it fits perfectly with who we are and the fabric of this community.” The recognition enables Visit Mesa to tap into a market with 32 million annual travelers, according to IBCCES data, while more than $262 billion is spent on autism-related services each year. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that can cause social, communication and behavioral challenges. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 1 in 59 children will be diagnosed with autism. “This is an extremely loyal customer base – the autism community is an army, and they communicate and they are powerful,” said Garcia. “They find out through that network very quickly who is autismfriendly, and then everyone frequents those places.” Not only is the certification beneficial from a business standpoint, he added, but it’s also the “right thing to do.” Garcia was inspired to kick-start the initiative at Visit Mesa through personal experience – his 5-year-old son was diagnosed on the spectrum at 14 months old. “When we travel it can be a challenge sometimes – you get looks when your child acts up like you’re not doing your job as a parent. Sometimes you’re made to feel a little uncomfortable and not necessarily invited or welcomed,” he told the East Valley Tribune. “Because of that, and after digging into research, we realized that there aren’t many places you can go as a family that might make you feel welcome,” he added.

Visit Mesa President/CEO Marc Garcia said his staff is now certified to help people on the autism spectrum plan a fun vacation in the city. (Special to the Tribune)

After talking with his leadership staff for the last couple of years, he decided to finally hit the start button by reaching out to IBCCES. IBCCES provides a series of certifications in the realm of autism and other cognitive disorders that “empower professionals to be leaders in their field and improve the outcomes for the individuals they serve,” according to its website. The Florida-based company has been spearheading autism training for licensed healthcare professionals and educators around the world for almost 20 years – and as of late, has seen an uptick of travel-affiliated companies seeking certification. “Historically, there has not been a lot of options for these families [who have children with autism] to travel, but we’ve had big rush lately on travel-related companies – they see their customers changing and want to be able to serve them,” said Myron Pincomb, board chairman and CEO of IBCCES. Now, Visit Mesa is encouraging other businesses in the city to get onboard. The organization is requesting that partner businesses in Mesa’s hospitality community encourage their guest-facing staff to complete the autism sensitivity and awareness training within the next six months. Sheraton Mesa Hotel, 860 N. Riverview, is among the mix. “My biggest takeaway from the train-

ing is that they want to be treated like everybody else,” said hotel General Manager Chuck Barron. “If a kid is throwing a temper tantrum, they just want people to have more understanding.” Participating businesses will also be included in Visit Mesa marketing opportunities, such as a National awareness campaign that features new advertising themes promoting travel for people with autism. Once 60 businesses get certified, the city can then be considered an autism certified “travel destination,” said Garcia. “I knew that when I wanted to do this, I wanted it to be substantive. I wanted it to be meaningful and I wanted it to have teeth,” he said. Garcia’s end goal though, would be to see Mesa as a city become autism certified – which would require schools and other city departments to undergo the training. Currently, no such city in the country exists. “The response we’ve received from city departments to other non-hospitalityrelated businesses that are interested in going through this has been great,” said Garcia. “We may achieve what we hope sooner rather than later.” The Mesa Chamber of Commerce’s staff and Board have already completed the IBCCES training, while the Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department is currently in the process of training its nearly 500 employees.

space at the southwest corner of Country Club Drive and Southern Avenue. Francisco Heredia, who represents southwest Mesa on the City Council, said a company called 24-7 In Touch has hired 1,700 people and is aiming for 3,000 as it continues to renovate its 70,000-square-foot property. The company offers a variety of tech-related services to other businesses. That transformation speaks to the future that Heredia and others see for that part of Mesa – jobs that don’t depend on retail, and some newer, denser residential offerings. Even before Mesa approved the redevelopment plan, for example, a small retail center at Southern Avenue and Longmore – formerly home to a Circuit City and Bed, Bath and Beyond – became home to Santander Consumer USA, a vehicle-finance and third-party servicing company. Of all the neighborhood’s distressed properties, the one that sticks most painfully in Mesa’s craw is Fiesta Village – and Heredia thinks its days as a fenced-off eyesore are finally numbered. After years of acrimony with the city, the owner, W.M. Grace Development Co., came forward last summer with a plan to transform the 16-acre site into a 220-unit apartment complex with some restaurant pads. That proposal is still grinding its way through Mesa’s planning process. The council in March had an executive session in which it reviewed a potential development agreement with Grace. That the city is contemplating such an agreement suggests there may be some sort of public investment in an effort to elevate the quality of the proposed development. “We’re still working with the Grace family in respect to the quality of the development,” Heredia said. He added, “We all agree that 15 years of gated blight is not

what we want there. So the conversation has revolved around how do we work

with each other.” The next big thing, Heredia said, is fig-

uring out the future of Fiesta Mall. He does not believe it will ever again will be a retail center. Internet shopping and other venues, particularly the booming Chandler Fashion Center, just a few miles to the south at Loops 101 and 202, have seen to that. The mall’s future rests largely in the hands of two development companies that own different pieces of the property, with Dillard’s still owning the parcel that it uses as an outlet for merchandise it couldn’t sell elsewhere. “Conversations are happening as far as what are the next steps for the mall,” Heredia said. “Unfortunately, there is not any clear, concise direction yet.” He does not think previous proposals that the mall be used as a medical education center will survive those conversations. Still, Heredia believes the mall has a future because of its strategic location. “It’s kind of the center of the Valley now, with the sprawl we have had,” he said. “I totally look forward to making that place a destination again.” In recent years Mesa has spent huge amounts for Fiesta District streetscapes, and it put a new police substation in the neighborhood in hopes of priming the economic pump. The city is contemplating future massive investment if studies show a need for high-capacity mass transit into and through the area. Those transit options include light rail or a streetcar system such as the one Tempe is building in its downtown.

Redevelopment zones give Mesa tools to revive neighborhoods BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor

he success of Mesa’s first designated redevelopment area suggests that over time, other struggling parts of the city could experience similar makeovers. It was in 1999 that the City Council took a hard look at its downtown and decided the city’s original square mile needed work. The Town Center Redevelopment Plan is still active, with a growing list of accomplishments that include construction

of the Mesa Arts Center, the advent of light rail and the addition of college campuses. If anything, the transformation is accelerating, with several major housing developments in the works. Before a redevelopment area can be declared, however, the city has to swallow hard and admit the existence of something unpleasant: blight. A blighted area is defined as one in which any of several impediments to redevelopment exist. They can include the obvious, such as run-down buildings or dangerous and unsanitary conditions. It

also can be subtle, such as problematic lot sizes, title problems and improper subdivision platting. These conditions are defined in state law. A preponderance of those conditions in west Mesa has led the council to create three new redevelopment zones in recent years. The zones enable the city to use a variety of tools to encourage investment in new housing and businesses. The other zones are: ■ West, approved in August 2017. It covers large swaths of the Broadway Road-Main Street corridor from Country Club Drive

to the Tempe border, and Dobson Road almost to Southern Avenue. It includes a huge concentration of apartment complexes northeast of Southern and Dobson. ■ East, also dating from August 2017. It includes areas along University Drive, Main Street and Broadway Road from Mesa Drive eastward to Gilbert Road. ■ Southwest, approved in September 2017, covering Country Club Drive south of downtown and much of the Fiesta District. Copies of the plans are available online at www. mesaaz.gov in the link for the planning department.

Venerable Mesa golf course faces big changes BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

esa’s venerable Dobson Ranch Golf Course faces the biggest change in its 45-year history as the City Council on Monday considers transferring all functions to a private contractor amid mounting losses. Widely considered the best municipal golf course in the East Valley, Dobson Ranch remains popular, despite a few signs of aging, with nearly 600 members of men’s and women’s clubs forming a strong built-in clientele. But the number Mesa officials seem most concerned about is a projected loss of $684,000 for fiscal year 2019, and projected losses of $3.8 million for fiscal years 2020-2023 if the present management structure were to stay the same. In an attempt to counteract this trend, the council is scheduled to vote Monday, May 6, on whether to give Paradigm Golf Group control of all functions – from maintenance for the pro shop to the restaurant, the former home of Mesa’s Dobson ranching family. Dobson Ranch Golf Course opened in 1974 after the city received it as a gift from Continental Homes, which made the course the centerpiece of its surrounding master planned community. The restaurant dates back to the early 1950s. City Manager Chris Brady looks at the deal with Paradigm as an opportunity to improve operations and marketing, as well as way to staunch the bleeding from losses. “As it got older, it became more of a challenge for us,’’ Brady said. “There were years, when golf was more popular, when the city made a little money off golf.’’ Golf also was more lucrative, he said, when Mesa had two courses, Dobson and Mesa Riverview. Even though Riverview was popular as a unique nine-hole championship layout, it was sacrificed when Mesa built Sloan Park as the new home of the Chicago Cubs and rebuilt Riverview Park. “The city doesn’t want to keep carrying on this cost,’’ Brady said. “Now, we have someone who we think will work with us as a partner.’’ But the new operating model is strongly opposed by longtime, loyal golfers, who view it as a threat to their beloved course. They fear a private operator will eventually lead to higher greens fees and a decline in the course’s condition, which has

sure that it has an appealing future. “With increasing expenses, deferred maintenance and lack of funding to reinvest in the course, the overall golf experience and the ability to maintain the standard players have been accustomed to could be impacted and ultimately result in a loss of revenue,’’ wrote Michael Kennington, Mesa’s chief financial officer, in a report to the council. Heirshberg said a request for proposals attracted seven bidders, with Paradigm and Billy Casper Golf Dobson Ranch Golf Course is popular with duffers Valley-wide, but they may not like the changes that a new management team is chosen as finalists. “It was an opportuexpected to introduced over the coming months.

Mother anguished over hospital dropping her newborn BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

he video of Monique Rodgers’ twins’ birth at Dignity Health Chandler Regional Medical Center was supposed to serve as a special memory for her to keep forever. Instead it is filled with shots of one baby being dropped on her head – and is too painful for the mother to watch. Two and a half months since the accident, baby Morgan is now shaking frequently and letting out small cries followed by larger screams when picked up, said Rodgers, who will be taking the infant to a neurologist in August. “When your baby is dropped on its head you don’t know if there is going to be a lasting effect that I won’t be able to fix. As a mom you’re supposed to be your child’s protector and to not be able to fix it, if there is something wrong with her, is just heartbreaking. I’m devastated,” said Rodgers. Twins Morgan and Madison were born just one minute apart on Feb. 14. Though Morgan was the smaller newborn at 3 pounds, 4 ounces, the room was filled with a healthy cry, joy and no concerns about her overall health despite her weight. Then, a nurse slid a blanket out from under her and Morgan slipped from the doctor’s hands, landing head-first onto the table below. The team’s doctor shared a concerned look with the nurse, and proceeded wiping down the baby. “As her mother I’m supposed to be there for her to protect her and I couldn’t do that laying on the table when I had no idea what happened,” Rodger said, crying. “Her being dropped was totally avoidable, I just don’t understand what

Bill would prevent local vape sale controls BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

ome state lawmakers, educators and public health advocates are trying to derail a bill pushed by the tobacco industry and vaping retailers – and carried by a Scottsdale representative – to block local cities, towns and counties from regulating the sale of their products. Sen. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek, who is leading the charge, acknowledged that, on paper, SB 1147 would raise the age to buy and use tobacco products to 21 from 18. It also would cover “alternative nicotine products,’’ generally meaning other products with nicotine. But the big trade-off is that the industry-backed bill would override virtually every local regulation now in existence, ranging from how far tobacco shops have to be from schools to enhanced penalties for retailers who sell to anyone who is underage. About the only thing that local governments could do is control tobacco and vaping use on its own properties, including any publicly funded stadiums. It also permits “reasonable zoning requirements’’ for the sale of tobacco and

same laws that now govern tobacco. That specifically includes where people can and cannot smoke. By contrast, SB 1147 is worded in a way that is designed to ensure that vaping products are not placed in the same category as cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. Rep. John Allen, R-Scottsdale, who is carrying the industry-backed bill, refused to discuss the issue with Capitol Media Services. That preemption would have severe implications. In Tucson, for example, council members adopted a comprehensive code in 1997 after concluding that state law “has proven ineffective in preventing tobacco sales and distribution to minors and preventing minors from buying and obtaining tobacco.’’ And unlike what is in SB 1147, it does not simply impose fines on retailers for selling to minors. Any shop that sells to minors at least three times within a 12-month period loses its ability to sell tobacco for 24 hours. Four offenses in the same period

Carter said the proof that current state laws on selling to minors don’t work is borne out by the fact that retailers fail “sting’’ operations conducted now by the Attorney General’s Office nearly 40 percent of the time. Mesa has separate ordinances dealing with “designated indoor smoking areas,’’ including requiring that they be “physically separated and independently ventilated from smoke-free areas.’’ Mesa also requires that any outdoor smoking areas be at least 15 feet from nonsmoking patrols and the public entrances and exits of a building. And in Phoenix and Tempe there are requirements for tobacco shops to be at least 1,320 feet from schools. That, too, would disappear, essentially allowing for the sale of not just cigarettes but vaping devices and refills nearby.

Sen. David Farnsworth, R-Mesa, said tobacco companies, finding their products less in demand, are buying up the vaping companies. “I am convinced that they are determined to have a new generation of addicted young people, addicted to nicotine,’’ he said of the industry. SB 1147 also would reduce the penalty for those who are not of legal age who attempt to purchase tobacco. Right now it is a petty offense, which essentially is a criminal violation. The legislation instead provide for a fine of at least $100 and 30 hours of community restitution. Roberg said there is no reason to make possession a crime, calling it part of an effort at “criminal justice reform.’’ “We keep criminal penalties in for fake ID use and also on the retailers,’’ she said, saying the fine and community service still provides “consequences for kids who possess the product.’’ Carter said the problem of youth vaping took a turn for the worse three years ago. That’s when lawmakers first agreed to proposals by the vaping industry to define their products separate from tobacco, even those that contain nicotine. SB 1147, she said, only makes the problem worse.

who have contact with kids and teens in public and charter schools. The training must be “evidence-based” – meaning that it must have proven effectiveness in helping to identify suicidal tendencies and knowing how to respond. The training will not be required until the 2020-21 school year and at the behest of some lawmakers, notably Gilbert Republican Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, school personnel would not be held civilly liable for any actions in connection with the bill except in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional wrongdoing. Awaiting Gov. Doug Ducey’s signature at press time, the bill was sponsored by state Sen. Sean Bowie, an Ahwatukee Democrat whose district also includes parts of Chandler, Mesa and Tempe. And while Bowie shepherded the bill through at least four committee hearings, support from two influential Chandler Republicans – Rep. Jeff Weninger and Sen. J.D. Mesnard – helped the bill succeed in this session after it failed to pass last year. Weninger was indirectly touched by the problem: a friend of his son took his life last year. Mesnard had attended several meetings in his district, which includes part of Gilbert, where parents and professionals discussed strategies for curbing what has become a major mental health issue for teenagers in Arizona and across the nation. Saying he is “very happy to see the bill pass both chambers and head to the governor’s desk,” Bowie also underscored the two Republican lawmakers’ support, calling them “champions on this issue and integral to the bill passing both chambers.” In the long run, though, the critical impetus behind the bill’s success were the parents of teens lost to suicide. Their anguish reduced several Democratic and Republican members of at least two committees to tears earlier this year as they recounted how teachers or administrators might have been able to help their children had they been trained in identifying suicidal tendencies and what to do about it. Katey McPherson, a Chandler educator

who has been one of the state’s most outspoken proponents of suicide prevention training, hailed the passage of the bill. “After years of parents who have lost children to suicide quietly and forcefully waging a fight to provide suicide prevention services and mental health resources in schools and communities, Arizona showed up for kids,” she said. “Hopefully this is just the first step in bipartisan support of youth mental health and wellness as we fight this public health crisis.” McPherson was indirectly referring to another looming issue in the teen suicide crisis – adequate counseling staff at schools. Dozens of teens across the Valley last winter and early this year appeared before school boards imploring them to ask the Legislature to provide funding for more counselors and social workers. Gov Doug Ducey has allocated $12 million over the next two years for additional counselors. “When fully implemented, the additional investment in school counselors is estimated to reduce Arizona’s counselor to student caseload by 17 percent,” he said in a release. While grateful for the money, school officials also say it’s not nearly enough for districts where counselors have as many as 1,200 students to respond to. Further, many students in appearances before East Valley school boards this year talked of how counselors often are burdened with numerous clerical and administrative duties that make it impossible for them to have enough time to meet with troubled students who want to talk to them – or with students who know of classmates who are struggling and may be a threat to themselves or others. Bowie indirectly noted that looming issue, calling passage of the training bill “a first step, but a significant one, in addressing the teen suicide crisis we have in the East Valley.” “I look forward to continue working with parents and schools in future years to further address this issue and get our teachers and educators the training and tools they need to help spot the warning signs before it’s too late,” he said.

Legislature OKs legalization of martial arts weapon BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

rizona could soon lose the distinction of being one of only three states in the nation where two sticks tied together with a piece of chain or leather could land someone in state prison. On a 42-17 margin Wednesday the state House voted to repeal laws which put nunchucks in the same category of illegal weapons as automatic weapons, silencers and sawed-off shotguns. Anyone possessing what’s on that list can end up with a Class 4 felony and a presumptive prison term of 2.5 years. That lands SB 1291 on the desk of Gov. Doug Ducey. Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said the repeal is long overdue. “One of the great mysteries of the criminal justice system is how nunchucks, two sticks connected by a thong or small chain, ever got added to the list of deadly weapons,’’ he said. The back story appears to be that several states, including Arizona, adopted the ban in the 1970s as martial-arts movies were popular, with Bruce Lee becoming a bit of an icon for the genre. But Kavanagh, who was a police officer back East in New York – one of the states that also passed a ban – said that never made any sense. “Criminals don’t carry nunchucks,’’

cuts, concussions, and eye and nose injuries. A nunchuck is engineered so that it can be used as a fulcrum: the assailant holds one stick while attacking with the other stick that is attached to the first one. As a result, serious, non-fatal nunchuck injuries often happen. The opposition to the repeal was less over the question of whether nunchucks are deadly weapons and more about what the Legislature was not doing: tightening up other gun laws. “This body has failed to have any kind of debate over meaningful, common-sense gun reform,’’ complained Rep. Athena Bruce Lee in the 1970s popularized nunchucks, and Arizona legislators had long ago classified them as a forbidden weapon. That may change if Gov. Salman, D-Tempe. She said that so far this year Doug Ducey signs newly approved legislation. (Tribune file photo) there have been more he said. than 17,000 incidents of gun-related “The average person can do far more violence in this country and about 4,500 damage with a baseball bat than with a have been killed. nunchuck,’’ Kavanagh continued. “In fact, “Instead of figuring out the ways where the average person using a nunchuck we can save lives, we’re wasting time on will do more damage to his knees or his nunchucks,’’ she chided colleagues. head than somebody he’s attacking.’’ “How many of our constituents have Nunchucks can cause broken bones, said, ‘You know what I really want the

state Legislature to be focusing on? Taking off nunchucks as a prohibited weapon,” Salman said. “Arizonans are wondering why their representatives, why their senators are not doing anything about the gun violence that is plaguing our places of employment, our schools from preschools to universities, our places of worship.’’ But other Democrats focused instead on the issue at hand. “I don’t believe that we are going to see a sudden spike in the use of nunchucks in violent crime,’’ said Rep. Jennifer Longdon, D-Phoenix. “I think that, overall, this bill is very benign.’’ And Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction, said those who oppose the measure are missing the larger point about weapons in general. He said nunchucks don’t kill people any more than guns or sticks or pens. “People kill people,’’ Fillmore said. He had his own take on what should be a crime. “If we want to outlaw something that’s dangerous and detrimental to our society, we should outlaw socialism, liberalism, fanatical religious proliferation,’’ he said. Aside from Arizona, the other states that have a ban are California and Massachusetts. A ban in New York was struck down last December after a federal judge ruled it ran afoul of the Second Amendment.

Paradise Valley Unified School District who was one of three targets of a death threat. That same suspect, she said also made statements about “shooting up the school.’’ “No calls were made to parents,’’ Barto said. “In fact there was no policy in place to ensure this incident was immediately reported to anyone,’’ she said, saying the student who made the threat was arrested “only after the parents got involved and they called the police.’’ Rep. Isela Blanc, D-Tempe, said if GOP lawmakers were actually concerned about school safety there are some more concrete things they could do. That includes smaller class sizes and access to counselors and social workers. “But of course we don’t want to address those issues because it would require too much investment in children,’’ she said.

Rep. Gerae Peten, D-Goodyear, chided her GOP colleagues for saying they care about public safety and yet approving legislation earlier this year to allow people to drive onto public school campuses with loaded weapons in their vehicles. And Rep. Reginald Bolding, D-Laveen, questioned whether creating police reports on every incident is appropriate, as these could affect a student’s long-term future opportunities. Rep. Walt Blackman, R-Snowflake, said all the talk about investing in kids so they “make it’’ misses the point of this legislation. “They won’t make it if they’re dead,’’ he said. “They won’t make it if they’re in a hospital, shot up,’’ Blackman continued. “The investment starts with safety.’’ The 31-27 party-line vote sends the measure to the governor.

Scottsdale lawmaker defends school violence report mandate BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Scottsdale legislator defended House passage of new mandates on schools to report violent incidents in what Democrats say is feel-good legislation to hide the shortfalls in education funding. HB 2119 requires school districts to come up with procedures to report any suspected crime that involves a deadly weapon or serious physical injury. That policy also would have to document “any conduct that poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to an employee, student or other person on school property.’’ Most notably, that policy requires notice to a parent of any student involved. Although Democrats opposed the bill, approved in a 31-27 party-line vote, Rep.

John Kavanagh, whose district includes Scottsdale, said the legislation would have long-term effects on children. “It keeps them alive,’’ he said. Kavanagh said the only incidents that will be reported involve conduct that poses threat of death of serious physical injury. Nor was he concerned about the possibility of police involvement, noting that, in most cases, the youngsters involved would be juveniles and not end up in adult court with adult records. More to the point, Kavanagh said, being referred to juvenile court could result in the students getting needed psychological help. Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, said that districts apparently are not reporting such incidents to parents, citing the testimony of a parent of a student at Mountain Trail Middle School in the

Mesa author offers stepmom support on Mother’s Day BY ERIC NEWMAN Tribune Staff Writer

other’s Day was created to celebrate with family, but it can be brutal for stepmothers, many of whom fear they will be forgotten. Mesa author Elizabeth Mosaidis, a Stepfamily Foundation certified coach, is offering a unique service to stepmothers anxious about Mother’s Day. Her website, thestepmomproject.com, is offering free handwritten Mother’s Day Cards to stepmothers around the world for them to feel special. Participants merely need to visit her website and fill out the form with their name and address. “I know a lot of stepmoms don’t really know what to expect that day,” Mosaidis said. “They wonder, ‘Do the kids celebrate with me? Does my husband recognize it?’ It can be really stressful, so I want to help out a little bit.” The author of “The Stepmom Project” and, more recently, “Stepmom Bootcamp: a 21-day Challenge,” Mosaidis is a stepmom herself, and struggled for a time to feel accepted.

Noting also there are many schools with high poverty levels and “students filled with immeasurable potential, but have countless of odds stacked against them,” Quintana added: “I believe that the quality of education and amount of opportunities should not be dictated by the color of your skin or zip code. My mission is to work hard in improving the education system in the state and making it equitable for its people.”

their mother, but you want to still feel like an important part of their life,” Mosaidis said. Her goal in making the cards and writing her books has been to provide the support she wished she had early in her marriage. Stepfamily issues, in her mind, are overlooked in society, but she aims to mend that. Along with her books, Mosaidis offers stepmom coaching consultations, workshops and even keeps an updated blog with research and advice on issues stepmoms face. Covering topics from transition days between parents and different households, to reframing the way stepmothers look at their stepchildren on a daily basis, she has positively affected countless women. “I appreciate this outlet and support system for (what I thought to be) a small group of people who are “thrown into” the parent role when you don’t have children yourself,” a reader posted in the blog’s comment section. “Too giddy to wait until morning to share pictures of the card I got from The Stepmom Project. What a treat and kind gesture, especially leading up to Mother’s Day. It can be such an awkward day for stepmom,” a reviewer of her cards wrote. The responses and kind words are what keeps her motivated. Each year she sends more cards, and is privy to more positive responses. She hopes the comments, from around the world, make stepmoms feel they have an ally in their new lives and have an avenue to reach out for help. “I had a woman send me a message from an Air Force base in Bahrain,” Mosaidis said. “To see that some of the work was affecting people here and all the way out there just makes me happy.” Information: thestepmomproject.com or elizabeth.m@thestepmomproject.com.

Vintage market mixes old, new for design fun BY COLLEEN SPARKS Tribune Staff Writer

nyone hoping to personalize their home with fun and functional, Pinterest-worthy items to create a whole look can check out a popular market in Chandler. Highland Yard Vintage Market features 50 to 70 local vendors four days a month at Merchant Square Antique Marketplace at 1509 N. Arizona Ave. The next Highland Yard Vintage Market will next be May 16-19 with the theme of “Tell Your Story.” From June 20-23, the theme of the market will be “Summer Breeze.” New inventory, which is a mix of new and old home décor, is offered at the market located in its own building behind Merchant Square Antique Marketplace antiques and vintage mall. Shoppers can choose tables, shelving, clothes, jewelry, signs and other items in a variety of prices at Highland Yard Vintage Market.

Fortuna, partner for the market. “It’s really a mix of old and new,” Fortuna said. “Everything gets rebuilt with all new inventory every month. This is really a designer’s paradise because you’ve got so much being curated.” Julie Shervin, owner of Julie’s Home Décor, refurbishes furniture and also buys new home décor that she sells at Highland Yard. “I tend to gravitate towards buffets and sofa tables,” the Apache Junction businesswoman said. “I go back east and buy a lot of antiques. It’s a lot of fun.

easy to visualize how one could decorate a kitchen, living room, office, bedroom, patio or other area of a house or office. Highland Yard Vintage Market is so popular that typically 150 to 200 shoppers wait in line outside to get in when it opens on Thursdays, Fortuna said. She and the staff members aim to make the shopping experience fun by giving away gift cards of $100 and $25 to those standing in line. They have dance parties with customers when the market is open Friday nights. “We have so much fun,” Fortuna said. “It’s the greatest place to meet people in the community. We really work with people; show them how to build out spaces in their home. The thing that brings people back (is) it’s an experience and you feel so well taken-care of.” VIP shoppers get their own cubbies where they can put items that they are interested in buying while they shop; they also get freebies.

Merchant Square offers diverse antiques, treats BY COLLEEN SPARKS Tribune Staff Writer

hopping at Merchant Square Antique Marketplace is like visiting a Disneyland of diverse, old finds and stylish, new home décor. The expansive, quaint mall at 1509 N. Arizona Ave. is full of surprises and charming antique pieces collected and curated from around the world. Part of what is called “The Square” is Highland Yard Vintage Market, in a separate building behind the Merchant Square, where old and new home items are sold four days a month. The whole mall is about 50,000 square feet. Adding to the attractions is the popular American Way Market, an American smokehouse and bakery furnished with old, reused furniture and decorations that sells a variety of decadent barbecue meals, salads and innovative homemade baked goods, along with old-fashioned sodas sold in vintage bottles. About 250 vendors rent space in Mer-

chant Square Antique Marketplace selling antique and vintage furniture, rock albums, signs, jewelry, theater seats, baby strollers, drinking glasses, handmade wood pictures, figurines and just about anything else people would need to add heart and style to their homes. “It’s a mix of antique, vintage, nostalgia and repurposed furniture and home décor,” said Mike Moore, owner of Merchant Square Antique Marketplace, Highland Yard Vintage Market and American Way

Market. “Pretty much every era is represented – Americana, European antiques. I think it takes them back to another time in their life. What you feel here is real. You get to find things you wouldn’t find anywhere else.” Moore, a third-generation Arizona resident who loves antiques, opened Merchant Square Antique Marketplace in 2002 and co-owns it with his wife, Patricia Moore. Their adult children help work at the

mall. Mike is a real estate developer who had bought the building with the goal of opening an entertainment center with skateboarding, rock-climbing and other activities with a company, but that business backed out of the plan after 9/11. “I looked for an idea,” Mike said. “I like antique malls and I thought I could do that here. We created all the booths. I’ve hired a great manager.” He offered a free month’s rent to any vendors who pitched an idea for a name for the mall. The space was completely full with vendors when it opened in July of 2002. Mike said the mall, which is open seven days a week, sells antique items that are at least 100 years old and vintage merchandise, which is 30 to 50 years old. Old lockers from Dobson High School and an old Mobil sign, as well as the McDonald’s arch sign, along with a U.S. Navy item that includes a brass helmet dated 1941 are among the many pieces that tell stories of the past.

The November Highland Yard Vintage Market features Christmas-themed items. People love to buy seasonal décor including Christmas, fall and spring items, Fortuna said. Some customers come from out of state to shop at the market. “They plan their vacations around it,” Fortuna said. “The amount of business is remarkable. It’s affordable. There’s a huge range of price ratios.” Customers shared their enthusiasm for Highland Yard Vintage Market on the business’ Facebook page.

well as “Green Lantern,” “Smurfs” and “Toy Story” drinking glasses were at the antiques mall recently. “I really like Native American art, Arizona historical items,” Mike said. Shoppers can find 1970s “nostalgia furniture,” vintage clothes, record players, old windows and doors, as well as paintings and typewriters in the antique mall. Many knickknacks including pigs and other animals also adorn the center. Items range from $1 or less to tens of thousands of dollars. An outdoor space called Picker’s Alley features outdoor furniture and things for gardens. Merchant Square always has a waiting list of vendors hoping to get in to sell their wares. The vendors set their own prices and Merchant Square shares the revenue from the items they sell. The vintage and antique pieces and the menu at American Way Market are getting lots of praise online. Deneene Artherhults Winters posted a positive review on Merchant Square’s Facebook page. “Terrific merchandise!” Artherhults Winters posted. “Lots of unusual items that I don’t normally see at other antique shops. Nicely displayed and I loved the little cards to help keep track of items liked.” Nicole Durst also ate up the food and merchandise in the antiques mall. “Some of the best bbq in town,” Durst said. “Try the bbq chicken sandwich and the cookies. You cannot go wrong and if you love antiques and fun finds you are set for an adventure.” Jill Fortuna, partner for Highland Yard Vintage Market, which opened about three years ago, said people of all ages enjoy making a whole day of their time at Merchant Square. Those visits often include time spent eating the sandwiches made with bread baked fresh daily at American Way Market, which opened two years ago and was

“Awesome place to browse gorgeous fun, unique pieces!” one post read “More than just an antique store!” Wendy Armstrong Parker also likes the market, and wrote “The vendors are awesome!!

A smoked pastrami sandwich, also covered in mozzarella and provolone cheese, is topped with pickled red onion and apple aioli enclosed in artisan marble rye bread with a side of coleslaw and received praise on TripAdvisor. A mix of sweet and savory treats, the tri-tip arugula salad features the tender tri-tip, arugula, beets, pecans, red onions and goat cheese enhanced with a balsamic vinaigrette. Mike said the restaurant is also known for its pulled pork, which comes separately or smoked in a sandwich with tangy coleslaw and house barbecue sauce on a brioche bun. American Way’s bakery draws crowds with homemade cookies and scones including a tasty almond one with sweet frosting and one with a mixture of chocolate chips, oatmeal, banana bread and peanut butter. The restaurant and bakery are decorated with eclectic items from Arizona’s past including a smoker from the now closed Bill Johnson’s Big Apple Restaurants, a Coke sign from a previous market, chairs from a schoolhouse and booths from a bar. Customers can buy 150 different sodas from around the country, including Faygo flavors, sold in vintage bottles.

Attack on Ducey’s Easter message was tiresome BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

he first time I ever heard the phrase “go to the mattresses” was in the Mafia masterpiece "The Godfather." Vito Corleone is near death in a hospital bed, shot down by a rival Mob family. The Don’s hotheaded oldest boy, Sonny, demands revenge. Tom Hagen, the consigliere, urges caution, but Sonny will have none of it. He wants the man who ordered the hit on his father executed – end of story. “If not, it’s all-out war,” Sonny screams. “We go to the mattresses.” The phrase refers to the Mob stocking safe houses with mattresses back in the day, so street soldiers could hunker down before battle. It’s a great descriptor, even more so today. In 21st century America, we’re determined to go to the mattresses over every last slight. For example, a group called the Secular

Coalition for Arizona went to the mattresses the other day against Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey’s sin? He posted an Easter greeting on his official Governor’s Facebook page. Ducey’s post, which went up on Easter Sunday, included the phrase “He is risen!” – a reference to Jesus. The Governor wished one and all “a happy and blessed Easter.” The accompanying graphic displayed a cross and cited John 11:25, a passage which reads: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though may he die, he shall live.’” Dianne Post, a lawyer for the Secular Coalition, fired off a three-page screed to Ducey on the subject, including a lecture on the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions, references to multiple Supreme Court rulings, and a demand for action – to be explained in writing. As Post put it: “On behalf of citizens and taxpayers, we urge you to remove the ef-

fusive Easter greeting that is much too tied to religion from the Facebook page and to desist in the future from expressing such religious sentiment on government property or time. The government must respect the rights of conscience of all citizens, including those who in good conscience reject belief in a god.” Ducey’s reponse? A firm “screw you” via Facebook. “We won’t be removing this post. Ever,” the Governor wrote. “Nor will we be removing our posts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Palm Sunday, Passover or any other religious holiday.” I’m going to side with Ducey here, despite the fact the most religious I get in any given year is a secular Christmas celebration that involves a few gifts, some carols sung by Crosby and Sinatra and studiously avoiding all beverages described as “nog.” My rationale has nothing to do with a close reading of the First Amendment or me being okay with blurring the lines be-

tween church and state. I’m with Ducey because this is a dumb fight – a skirmish not worth going to the mattresses over. The Governor is Catholic. He’s never hidden it; his religion quite clearly informs his politics. However, Ducey has never attempted to proselytize on behalf of the church. Nor has he tried to turn his office into a recruitment arm for Christianity. Doing so would clearly would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment – and they’d be worth a fight. I read Ducey’s Easter greeting as the Governor being polite as opposed to political, effervescent as opposed to fervent. By contrast, Post read it as a hostile act, one that called for the lawyer’s equivalent of a declaration of war. As someone who’s watched "The Godfather" at least 20 times, I keep recalling how Sonny’s foolish insistence on going to the mattresses worked out for Don Vito’s eldest boy. Sonny, as another old saying goes, ended up being dead right.

in Latin America. It’s the first and only joint customs clearance service between the two countries. E-commerce companies and manufacturers doing business south of the border can more quickly and efficiently transport goods, while guaranteeing proper inspections and safety controls. SkyBridge demonstrates the potential of Mesa’s economic future by embracing a dynamic, global economy driven by talent, trade, goods and jobs. This, however, depends on a strong, seamless, modern-day trade agreement with Mexico and Canada to bring commerce into the 21st century, incorporating e-commerce, stronger intellectual property protections, agriculture, cyber security and other areas. The United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) does just that by modernizing the playing field governing the trade relationship with Arizona’s most important global trading partners.

It also cuts red tape at the border, streamlines trade and reduces regulatory uncertainty. (Twenty-five-year-old NAFTA needed a modern-day reboot to keep pace with a fast-changing, digital world.) But there’s one huge hurdle standing in the way: USMCA must be approved by Congress. And these days, that’s never easy. Still, we need to do everything we can to make this happen. Our congressional delegation needs to hear from all of us. They must put aside partisan politics and get this done. Your voice is powerful and needs to be heard. We must make ratifying the USMCA a top priority; it’s a team effort that will require everyone from elected officials to job creators to everyday citizens. Congress needs to hear from you … now! It’s not an exaggeration to say our future depends on it: Trade between Arizona and Mexico last year soared to $16.6 billion. This is huge for Mesa and every

city in Arizona. The USMCA will help Arizona strengthen its relationship with Canada too, a trading partnership worth $3.7 billion annually. In all, it’s estimated that more than 236,000 Arizona jobs are dependent on our trade relationship with Mexico and Canada. Trade between the three countries represents the largest trading bloc on earth, totaling $1.3 trillion annually. Just think of the untapped economic potential at our fingertips. It’s time to turbo charge this economic momentum and empower a shared prosperity for the 21st Century. In Mesa, we are enjoying the benefits from the initial stages of being an e-commerce hub along with other innovations. Free trade is the fuel. Let’s embrace the pioneering spirit of East Valley leaders from a quarter century ago and build a bridge – dare I say “SkyBridge” – to a prosperous future.

bout 25 years ago, two things happened that helped put Mesa on a path to becoming the nation’s first international air cargo hub to house both Mexico and United States customs.

It takes a village to curb teenage suicide trend BY JEN FIEGL Tribune Guest Writer

he vast majority of parents of suicidal children are unaware of their child’s suicidal behavior. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. among youths age 5-25, resulting in 7,625 deaths in 2017. The recent news on suicides across the Valley have many crying out for help. Many parents may not feel the schools are doing enough. Schools are stepping up their games and offering more, but still struggling to get a significant turnout for most parent-related events. Parents are outright struggling with what to do with their kids. Who is to blame? Is anyone? The truth be told, it is equally as important for school staff and parents to be aware of possible and potential signs of suicide in any child. It is not entirely the job of a parent. It is not entirely the job of the school. At the end of the day, “It takes a village.” Here are some important points to be aware of: • Do not be afraid to talk with your children about suicide. • Know the risk factors and warning signs of suicide. • Respond immediately if your child is showing warning signs. • Reach out to the school for resources. • Make all firearms and prescription drugs in the home inaccessible to children. First and foremost is that tough conversation with your kids. Many believe that if they talk to their kids about suicide it will cause them to want to attempt suicide or will put ideas in their head. This is not true. In speaking to them, they also will likely open up to you if they have been feeling

suicidal or may have a suicidal friend. Talking about it helps remove the stigma often associated with mental health. Even if your child is not suicidal, they may have been afraid to tell you they were feeling anxious or depressed, as they thought you would be upset with them. By having this conversation, you are telling them that it is OK to not be OK. You are assuring them that you do not associate a stigma with mental health and this is important to you too. Many schools are/have been providing training to all incoming freshman students with regards to suicide. These trainings are also typically offered to parents in an evening session, so they too can learn the signs and what to look for. Most schools are now offering Teen Lifeline contact information printed on the back of all student ID cards. Before having that conversation about suicide, make sure you know the risk factors and warning signs of suicide. Depression, substance abuse, previous attempts, family history of suicide and youth who are dealing with loss or problems with the law, or who have easy access to lethal means, like guns, are most at risk of suicide and suicide attempts. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth are at an increased risk for suicide if struggling with sexual orientation, experiencing peer rejection or bullying, or anticipating or experiencing familial rejection. Warning signs can include changes in sleep and appetite, dramatic mood changes, acting out; violent behavior, a general sense of helplessness/hopelessness, increased risky behavior (such as drinking, using drugs and gunplay), sudden changes in personality and in friends, changes in physical habits and appearance (either negative or positive), inability to concentrate on routine activities, changes in

classroom behavior and failing grades. If it is new for your child, it may be a red flag. Some kids will outright say “I am going to kill myself”, “No one would miss me anyway” or “I just want to die.” In other urgent, serious situations, kids may seek out pills, weapons, rope or other means to complete suicide. Some may talk, write or draw pictures associated with suicide. Kids often have, what is referred to as a precipitating event, occur right before they attempt suicide. These events can include the breakup of a relationship, family problems, feeling like they do not belong anywhere, sexual, physical or mental abuse, drug or alcohol addiction, mental Illness (more than 90 percent of people who die by suicide have a diagnosable mental disorder,) trouble with authority, legal issues, the death of a loved one, school or work problems or any problem that seems hopeless. If you notice any of these signs in your child, please take them seriously! Even if you do not think they are capable of suiciding, seek help immediately but calling 911, the Maricopa County Crisis 602- 2229444, or Teen Lifeline at 602–248-8336. Reach out to the school for resources. Many schools in Arizona have added school-based social workers, who are there as a contact for you and your kids. School social workers typically have an abundance of resources for families who are seeking help. Additionally, they are there to support you and your child during a transition back to school, should they need to be hospitalized. Help your children build or recognize their protective factors. These include good family relationships and support from family, strong problem-solving skills, physical activity or participation in sports, access to mental healthcare, social interaction (e.g., through clubs, activities religious organizations) and to build positive rela-

tionships with teachers and other adults. As much as most parents want to be their child’s “go to adult,” typically we aren’t. Encourage your child to identify an adult they are comfortable talking to, to be their go to person. What else can we do? Make all firearms and prescription drugs in the home inaccessible to children. You can pick up magnetic locks at most hardware stores for around $15 for a set of six. These locks secure your medications, preventing them from being easily accessible to any children (including your kid’s friends). Firearms should be kept locked in a safe. Talk to your kids often about important topics like drugs, alcohol and suicide. Create a codeword they can text/say to you when they are struggling. We use “miserable” as the code word in our home. This allows our children to let us know they are struggling emotionally, may be considering self-harm or suicide or they just do not know how to start the conversation. Step back a little if you find you are often hovering over your child. Stop hounding them about their grades and homework and let them accept the natural consequences of their own actions. It’s OK to let our kids fail every so often (and it’s actually healthy). No one is going to be there to fix things for them when they are on their own, so now is a good time to stop fixing things for them and let them learn from their own mistakes. Validate your child’s feelings. Even if you do not understand or have experience feeling the way that they do, it is important to remind them that their feelings do matter. Keep the crisis line number and Teen Lifeline number on the fridge. This allows your child(ren) to know that it is acceptable in your home to call for help should they need it.

Chandler boys’ VB focused on redemption JOEL VISS Tribune Contributor

t’s been a year since the Chandler High School Wolves boys volleyball team made an early exit during the 2018 6A Conference Tournament. The Wolves entered the tournament as the top-ranked team, but fell to district rival Perry in the second round. The sour taste in each player’s mouth remains to this day. “It was devastating,” Chandler coach Bobby Robson said. “After working the whole season to become the best team and throw it away in the playoffs, it really sucked.” The Wolves used the loss as motivation heading into the 2019 season, and have quickly established themselves as one of the best programs in the state once again. At 22-6-4, Chandler is the second-ranked team in 6A. The Wolves sit behind topranked Highland High School, which handed them their only power-point loss of the

2 former Chandler athletes entering the NFL BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

handler High School alum N’Keal Harry’s dream of becoming a firstround draft pick came to fruition on last week, as the wide receiver was picked with No. 32 overall to the New England Patriots. “I’m extremely excited,” Harry said in his post-draft conference call with the media. “I’m just ecstatic to come in, work hard, constantly improve and just live up to the expectations.” Harry was dominant in the college ranks at Arizona State University, catching 213 passes for 2,889 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also ran for 144 yards and 3 more scores. He was projected to be a middle to late first-round pick, exactly where he landed. But in the days leading up to the draft,

Harry had speculated that if he were available for the Cardinals at No. 33 – the

first pick in the second round – he would come off the board. “I just had a feeling,” Harry said. “Obviously, I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen, but I did just kind of had a feeling.” Unfortunately for many Chandler High, ASU and Cardinals fans, that didn’t pan out. But now the former Wolves star has the chance to catch passes from one of the sport’s all-time greats, Tom Brady. Harry impressed scouts at the NFL Combine in February by running a 4.53-second 40-yard dash. He also did 27 reps on the bench press, had a 38.5-inch vertical jump and 122-inch broad jump. He elected not to run routes in Indianapolis, instead saving that for his Pro Day at Arizona State University in March.

Mesa 9-year-old earns black belt in karate BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

iana Barnum has been working toward her black belt since she began karate six years ago. On April 27, she earned it. And at just 9 years old, the Mesa resident did so as the youngest student at East Mesa Karate. “It felt really good,” Tiana said. “It was nice to lift all of that pressure off my chest.” Tiana began karate when she was 3, but had been in and out of studios since she was born. Her brother, Brandon, began karate classes when he was 12. In order to earn her first-degree black belt, Tiana had to go through an exercise called “The Big 300.” The exercise consists of 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups and 100 squats. Students

Exactly where they fall in terms of seeding remains to be seen. But no matter where they fall, they look to carry over the dominance they’ve displayed on the court this season to the tournament. “We worked hard in the offseason, with our clubs and with our high schools to make sure we didn’t feel the same way the seniors last year felt,” outside hitter Braxton Bradbeer said. “I think that if we keep playing like we’re playing and stay determined and focused, we’ll be fine.” Despite Chandler’s dominance, its journey to this point to this season hasn’t been easy. Several key players have dealt with

the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. Harry became the first receiver ever drafted by Belichick in the first round since he became the head coach in New England in 2000. “It means the world to me,” Harry said. “For him to have that much faith in me and to have that much trust in me, it just makes me want to work that much harder.

injuries this season, and the team’s losses in major tournaments have left disdain in Robson’s eyes. “We have had players injured, and we’ve overcome these injuries,” Robson said. “But sometimes the team will get lackadaisical and lose games we can win, and I don’t think that’s okay if we’re trying to compete for a championship.” Chandler’s loss to Brophy in the Wolf Howl Invitational in March has stuck with the team. “When we lost to Brophy, everyone was bummed out because we just let that game slip away and it could have been won,” senior setter Trey Weinstein said. “At the same time it brought us closer together to become the better team we are today.” Chandler’s rise to the top of the rankings was a work in progress when Robson took over the program in 2015. The Wolves won just five games in Robson’s first season, but improved in his second year and finished 18-18. They became legitimate state-title contenders So, I’m going to come in with a workhouse mindset and get better every day.”

Hamilton alum Casey Tucker signs with Eagles

Hamilton and Arizona State University alum Casey Tucker waited three days for his opportunity to prove himself at the NFL level. Tucker, a 6-foot-5, 308-pound tackle, didn’t hear his name called during the

adults. I think people in their 50’s were trying to get their black belt.” Tiana often finds time to train in the afternoon. She is a fourth grader at Arizona Connections Academy, an online-

in 2017 and have maintained that image ever since. Now in his fifth season, Robson is hoping to finally lead the program to its first championship—but he knows it won’t be handed to him. “It won’t be easy,” Robson said. “There are a lot of tough teams in competition this year and we are just one of them. We have had success these last two weeks, but it’s different in the playoffs. “If we play our game, we will be good.” Chandler finished the regular season on a seven-game winning streak. Even then, the team is aware that the team could slip up at any given moment in the playoffs. It’s important for the Wolves to maintain their focus when a just one loss is all that is needed to end their season. “I think the kids understand that if teams start winning games then their confidences start to grow and it increases their chances of beating us,” Robson said. One of the main advantages that Chandler has heading into the postseason is

three-day event, but he announced via Twitter Sunday afternoon that he had signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. Tucker was rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports out of Hamilton in 2014. He chose to sign with Stanford over 12 other schools, including ASU. As a freshman he appeared in five games for the Cardinals, and eventually became the starting right tackle his sophomore season.

based school. Having all of her coursework online allows her to have flexibility in her schedule. She usually spends her mornings finishing up school work online before heading to dance classes at Rhythm & Motion Dance Center in Mesa or karate practice. Sometimes, she does both. Since graduating, Tiana has moved on to the adult classes at East Mesa Karate. She has also begun instructor training, and helps teach younger kids two days a week. Tiana insists she doesn’t like karate or dance more than the other. She plans to stick with both and continue to make her family proud. “We are so proud of her,” Kris said. “She has worked so hard toward this. Her being able to get her first-degree really meant a lot to her so we were extremely happy.”

playing on its home court. With a top-3 seeding, the Wolves have a chance to stay at home through the quarterfinals. All semi-final games will be played at nearby Campo Verde High School, which will still provide an advantage should they play a team from outside of the East Valley. “Our fans come and support us every game,” Weinstein said. “It doesn’t matter if we are playing an away game, we always have the most fans cheering us on. “I think our team fuels off of all the support generated from the fans and it shows by how we’ve been playing these last few weeks and hopefully it continues going into the playoffs.” There’s no question that Chandler is determined to erase last year’s loss in the tournament, and there’s no better way to do that than winning the state title. “It would all come full circle,” Ray said. “How everything ended last year and how we took care of business this year. We just need to get the job done and I think we can do it.” He split time between left and right tackle during his junior season before redshirting his senior season. Tucker graduated from Stanford in 2018 with a degree in Philosophy before transferring to Arizona State as a graduate student to fulfill his last year of eligibility. “Thank you to the Philadelphia Eagles for giving me the opportunity to continue playing the game I love,” Tucker wrote on Twitter.

The Bonedaddys returning to Valley after hiatus GET OUT STAFF

hey’re a band of brilliant misfits. L.A.’s original “Worldbeatniks,” The Bonedaddys, take a wide stance stylistically, claiming musical influences from Charles Ives to Burl Ives – and much inbetween. The common musical denominator is a soulful, fun, party ambiance. They’ve been together since 1984, although there have been a few moving chairs and one hiatus, and they say their songs are “designed to move butts of all persuasions” as they serve up their wild mix in an unstoppable, sweat-ridden orgy of rhythm onstage. So fasten your seat belts for what promises to be a rollicking Lakeshore Music season finale with The Return of The Bonedaddys at 7:30 p.m. May 18 at Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 Rio Salado Pkwy., Tempe. The show will be moved out of the intimate Lakeside Room that usually is the venue for Lakeshore Music’s quieter jazz guests and into the spacious TCA Main Auditorium. The Bonedaddys play Latin, R&B, funk,

ska, reggae, spouge and spaghetti western. The group includes Kaspar Abbo: Lead vocals, song writing and occasional guitar; Marcus Watkins, who cut musical teeth with The Bonedaddys when he was too young to be in clubs; Phil Gough: Guitars and vocals and the “Tiki King and longtime Pillar of Guitar Fire in The Bonedaddys community”; Jay Work: Saxophones and vocals described as a “stalwart reed man and strong background vocalist”; Rick Moors, who “when performing, his

toes look a lot like his fingers”; and Casey Jones, drums and vocals and “now is driving The Bonedaddys’ train rhythmically”; and Mike Tempo, percussionist and the founder of the group. After releasing their sixth album, “Waterslide,” in 2007, they came out of hibernation with 2014’s “Big Thunder” and followed it a year later with “A-Koo-De-A!” The Bonedaddys last played in Arizona in 1989 to a sold-out crowd at Mesa Amphitheatre.

Woody Wilson, founder, president and executive producer of Lakeshore Music, said, “The Bonedaddys created a cult following in Phoenix after a series of small shows in Tempe and one big blowout concert at the Mesa Amphitheatre in 1989. That Mesa show, which I produced, was my first large-venue concert.” “I thought this year was time to bring The Bonedaddys back to Phoenix for a reunion,” Wilson added. “Their music, which is a signature sound of the L.A. Afro-pop scene, has endured for more than 35 years in clubs and festivals throughout Southern California, and it’s still as fresh and creative as it was in 1989. This show will be an epic finale for our season at TCA.” They have played for or with Bo Diddley, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Blues Traveler, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Hot Tuna, The Indigo Girls, Jefferson Starship, Joan Jett, The Neville Brothers, Oingo Boingo, Tito Puente, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul Revere & the Raiders, David Lee Roth, Carlos Santana, The Tubes, Mary Wilson and Warren Zevon.

The Strumbellas to play desert-themed album TAYLOR O’CONNOR

Staff Writer

imon Ward has been fascinated by the desert since his formative days in Toronto. He lived and breathed the cold and found himself wonderstruck every time he visited Arizona. “It’s very romantic for me to go to the desert because I spent my entire life in the winter. It’s wild to go there,” said Ward, the singer for The Strumbellas. The desert vibe surrounds the group’s latest album, “Rattlesnake,” which is apropos of the children of Arizona. The Strumbellas will trade in their parkas and boots for flip flops and sunglasses so they can embrace their inner desert child at the Crescent Ballroom on Monday, May 13. “I think we’ve got a plethora of new songs to play and in line with that, I think we’ve just gotten better at playing,” he said about the show. “We’ve created more crowd involvement. The Strumbellas are

always striving to get bigger and better. It’s going to be a bigger, better and flashier show.” The Strumbellas — Ward (vocals and acoustic guitar), David Ritter (keys), Jeremy Drury (percussion), Isabel Ritchie

(strings), Jon Hembrey (guitar) and Darryl James (bass) — formed in 2008 and remains based in Toronto. After their last tour in 2016, The Strumbellas took time off from touring and music to spend time with families. In its 10

years, The Strumbellas have had a combined six kids. It was a refreshing break. “When we came back, we had this newfound excitement for touring,” Ward said. Soon, the group found themselves eager to get back in the studio as well. Their latest album is “Rattlesnake,” which they recorded in about a month in Toronto. “It was the easiest record we’ve ever made,” Ward said. “It was great, everything was smooth.” The reason, Ward said, was producer Tim Pagnotta (Elle King and Walk the Moon). “He is my brother from another mother,” Ward said. “We just instantly clicked. He became one of my mentors because he’s so talented at the recording process. I would basically ask him to marry me.” Ward said as soon as the album was finished, the musicians couldn’t wait for the album to drop. The group called its

manager daily to check the album’s progress. On March 29, the album came out. “It came out in the perfect time and we are stoked to play it.” Ward said the band’s music evolved over time and this is the next chapter of its career. “Getting older we’re becoming—and I hate to say the word—but ‘adults,’” he said with a laugh. “At the start, we had no idea what we were doing. For me and other members this was our first real band. When we started, we were young and didn’t know what we were doing. We were a bit more nervous. Now, we’re comfortable in our own skin. We are mature, but we are still learning. We are definitely just a bit older and a bit wiser.” That’s reflected in the album’s title, which refers to a snake shedding its skin. Or, more precisely, Ward and his bandmates growing and changing. “Rattlesnakes are my biggest fear. I loved the idea of it, this record sounds like a dude shedding his skin,” said Ward, a father of three. “It took me a long time to accept my role as a dad. The album is me accepting that my younger days are over, and I have

these little critters in my life who I have to take care of. It’s about my family and me growing up.” His family is part of the positive twist on the album, something that may have been lacking on previous efforts. “Literally 92 percent of my last two albums are about depression, death and sadness. This album is 78 percent about death and sadness and 22 percent about optimism and family. Genuinely I’m a miserable human, but I’m trying to enjoy life more and that’s the chapter I’m in.” “Running Scared” is one of Ward’s favorite songs on the album because it touches desert, hippie vibe he has grown to love. It has a lot of shakers and “weird sounds” and it’s exactly what Ward wanted. Ward said he hopes to connect with people and make them smile, whether it’s his audience or people listening to his album at home. He has one goal for the Monday, May 13, show at The Crescent Ballroom. “What you can always expect from our show is we truly want to get people to smile. It’s all of us together trying to make magic in the room,” Ward said. The Strumbellas w/The Moth and The Flame, The Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Avenue, Phoenix, crescentphx.com, 7 p.m. Monday, May 13, $20-$40.
