Mesa set to OK controversial land deal BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

A

mostly pristine swath of desert studded with saguaro cactus and an undulating wash in northeast Mesa may turn into a resort-style gated community in about four years. The Mesa City Council is poised to accept the $21.1 million bid of Blandford Homes subsidiary Desert Vista 101, LLC, tomorrow, May 20, signaling the beginning of a year-long feasibility period during which Blandford would need a zoning change and a site plan approval before it could close on the sale. A staff report to the council said Blandford put down a $250,000 fee to qualify for bidding on the project, plus another $805,000 in earnest money that was put into escrow. Billed as a community that will be similar to Las Sendas, the development would be built

on a 132-acre site purchased by the city for $4 million in 1998 and originally reserved for development of a large park. But voters rejected two park bond issues in 2000. The site — marked by large saguaro cactuses, a meandering natural desert wash and a commanding view of Red Mountain — has remained largely untouched for nearly 20 years. “This issue will be debated for one and a half years. I think this is very exciting for us to have a win-win situation,’’ Mayor John Giles said. Giles believes the land can be sold at a great profit for Mesa and that part of the desert also can be preserved as a public trail. Jeff Blandford, president and CEO of Blandford Homes, said he is planning a gated community similar to his other resort style developments, such as Las Sendas Mountain, Mountain Ridge and The Grove at Valencia. He pledged to work closely with Red Moun-

tain residents and the city, but cautioned that the development is a long way from taking shape. “We will do the best we can to come up with a plan that works for them, that works for the city, that works for us,’’ Blandford said. Residents of Red Mountain Ranch, a large nearby subdivision, have objected to the land sale, saying they were expecting a park. A small private park operated by the Red Mountain Homeowners Association sits on property, which also has an undeveloped trail. Angelica Guevara, a city planner, said it was an “oversight’’ when staff members did not remove signs on the property, left over from the failed bond election, that touted the site as a future park. Blandford said Red Mountain residents want improvements to their private park and

facturing spaces. Davcon Aviation, LLC, and Mesa Hangar, LLC, will construct the phased project on more than 1 million square feet of vacant city land on the northwest side of the airport. “We are really excited about it,” said airport Director Corinne Nystrom. “One of our big missions has been to finish developing the airport with a strong presence of hangars and aviation businesses and this is exactly what we’ve been looking for. It’s a big win for mesa.” The land will be leased for 40 years, and the initial design concept estimates that the hangars will range from 5,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet. The number and size of the hangars will vary, depending on the preferences of the new tenants, and will offer high ceilings and wide doors. The hangars will seek to accommodate corporate jets and specialized fixed-wing and helicopter uses, explained Lynn Spencer, airport economic development project manager. “One of the things that is so exciting about getting the new hangars is that a lot of the inventory will allow us to have a new stock of facilities that can attract a different variety of businesses and size aircrafts,” she said. “This is going to allow for more potential businesses and jobs to come here,” Spencer added. The project is anticipated to cost more than $30 million, but because the airport is self-sustaining, it won’t be dipping into any of the city’s general fund. The U.S. Treasury Department designated Falcon Field as an “opportunity zone,” meaning it’s an economically-distressed community where new investments could be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic development and job creation, according to the federal Internal Revenue Service website. Because of this, the construction for the project needs to be completed within 31 months after the signing of the lease, said Davcon Aviation Managing Partner David Wakefield. “We’re going to start on the northwestern side of project, which would be parcel that’s not located right off the runway,” he said. “I think it’s setting precedence and that’s something the city and everybody should be proud of.” With more than 750 aircraft based at the relief airport, it also houses 100 onairport businesses that provide aviation

services, such as fueling, inspections and avionics. Nystrom said she believes the new developments will not only benefit the Falcon Field Airport — bordered by Greenfield, Higley, McDowell and McKellips roads — but the surrounding community as well. “We have all types of aviation businesses here, you can bring an aircraft here and have anything done to it — you can have it repaired and get it painted,” she said. “What this will bring is potentially more manufacturers — and when we bring high-paying manufacturing jobs into the community, it helps Mesa.” Mayor John Giles echoed Nystrom’s sentiments, hailing the new developments. “Aviation and aerospace are key industries in Mesa and contribute a great deal to our economy,” he said. “Our talented workforce, quality infrastructure and customer-friendly business environment make Mesa an ideal choice for companies looking to locate or expand in Arizona.”

Construction is projected to begin in October and should be completed by November 2021. Falcon Field opened in 1941 as a training grounds for thousands of Royal Air Force pilots, 23 of whom were killed and are buried in Mesa City Cemetery. Mesa bought it from the federal government for $1 after World War II. Last year the city rebranded a 35-square-mile radius around the airport the Falcon District. “The Falcon District is anchored by Falcon Field Airport and encompasses more than 35 square miles of retail, commercial and industrial parks, as well as quality residential neighborhoods,” the city noted. Bill Jabjiniak, the city’s economic development director, said the purpose of the rebranding was “to define the Falcon District as a vibrant, advanced manufacturing hub, ideal for medical technology companies, advanced business services and next generation aerospace and defense.”

that there may be a way to share an expanded facility between Red Mountain and Desert Vista residents. “They want their amenities but they don’t want it to be overstated,’’ Blandford said. Council member Jen Duff asked whether the recreational facilities would be enclosed in the gated community or open to the public. “I think it would be more the perimeter of the property,’’ where the public trail would be located, Blandford said, with the 600-foot buffer on the northern section of the property incorporated into the trail. The city included the buffer at the request of Nammo Talley, a defense contractor, which also has requested seismic and acoustic monitors paid for by Blandford. The wash would be inappropriate for such a trail because of the risks of a flash flood, Blandford said. With the buffer, the wash, the slope and the rocky terrain on the city-owned property, the amount of land that can be developed dropped to 94 acres. City Manager Chris Brady said he is seeking direction from the council on planning additional recreational facilities in District 5, where the undeveloped site is located. He said a hiking and biking trail would be incorporated into the Blandford development, but the additional soccer fields and pickleball fields would be built as part of other city projects. Brady said that $4 million from the sale would be reserved for the new recre-

ational facilities in northeast Mesa so that the city can deliver on the original intent of buying the property, even if the facilities are scattered in other locations. No mention was made of how the city plans to use the remaining $17 million from the land sale. Proceeds from such “one off’’ sales usually end up in the Enterprise Fund, which generally comes from utility profits in Mesa and is a major source of operating revenue. The controversy over the land’s future erupted in January when the council decided it was an unused asset and directed staff to conduct an unusual public auction. The staff report said a land swap was considered last year when a developer

proposed a residential development on a different, nearby site, on the southwest corner of Recker and Thomas roads. City officials opposed that proposal, saying that they wanted to reserve it for commercial development and that it lies directly in the flight path from Falcon Field. Instead, they offered the city-owned site at the northwest corner of Thomas and Recker Roads as a substitute, but the city and the developer could not agree on a price. Brady said the property on the southwest corner of Recker and Thomas is directly in the flight path from Falcon Field. He said there are no jets at Falcon Field, making it different than Phoenix Mesa

Gateway Airport. But he said the smaller planes at Falcon Field make more flights. Guevara said Boeing expressed reservations about the land sale creating more noise complaints and requested that any future residents sign an “aviation easement.’’ However, the defense contractor also said that none of its Apache helicopters fly over the property. “They fly north and head east. It’s not directly over our property,’’ she said. Guevara said the land swap with the developer who proposed the development on the southwest corner of Recker and Thomas fell through over a disagreement in price for the city owned land northwest of Recker and Thomas. The developer’s appraisal estimated the city-owned site’s value at $8.6 million, while the city’s appraisal was eventually reduced to $15.6 million from $25.5 million, to account for the buffer with Nammo Talley. Nammo Talley makes propellant actuated devices and shoulder-fired systems. Brad Anderer, test director for Nammo Talley, said the company has made presentations at Red Mountain Ranch about its testing. He said the company has been on its site for about 60 years, long before any residential communities were built. The seismic and acoustic monitors would protect the company from claims filed by future residents at the Blandford development, he said. “Our operations are safe. We’re 100 percent confident there won’t be any impact on any communities.’’

Schools chief, students make new plea for counselors BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

A

student-led group that tried to get lawmakers to enact gun control last year is refocusing on something more attainable. Jordan Harb, a leader of the March for Our Lives movement, said Monday his organization remains convinced that Arizona needs to crack down both on who has access to weapons as well as dealing with the kind of guns that can fire off many rounds and kill and maim lots of students. “I wouldn’t say that we have softened, but rather changed our focus on something that’s actually able to be done,’’ he said. Harb, a Mesa High School student, said the gun-control measures his group pushed last year — which the Republican-controlled Legislature did not enact are “still on our policy agenda.’’

like the lack of guidance counselors and social workers on campus as well as dealing with issues of bullying and abuse. Harb’s comments came as Kathy Hoffman, the state superintendent of public instruction, announced she was creating a School Safety Task Force to come up with ideas to keep students safer. The plan is modeled on legislation crafted by Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, and Rep. Daniel Hernandez, D-Tucson, which would have directed both Hoffman’s agency and local school Kathy Hoffman, state superintendent of public instruction, and boards to come up with plans to Justin Harb, a Mesa high school student and executive director of the Arizona chapter of March for Our Lives, discuss a school safety deal with students with mental task force she has created after a number of Republican lawmakers health problems who may be casabotaged a bipartisan effort to improve school safety.

What that leaves for the moment are McGee’s bill got out of the Senate but specific and he believes immediate needs, was never heard in the House; the Her-

nandez version cleared two House committees only to be quashed when Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, refused to hear it in the House Rules Committee which he chairs. Hoffman figures she has the power to bring together diverse interests, with or without legislative authorization, to at least determine what are the problems and the needs and ways that school boards can adopt policies to prevent violence. Brophy McGee said some of that can be addressed with school design, things like limiting the number of entrances where strangers can get onto campus or into a building. “But today, more than ever, beyond brick-and-mortar decisions, there are other factors, things that can’t be seen at first glance but can be felt when one walks

Chandler Unified may build new school BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

T

he Chandler Unified School District administration is recommending construction of a new elementary school and creating a second gifted academy as enrollment swells in the part of the district that large serves a portion of Gilbert. Disproportionate student distribution prompted the recommendation after several of the district’s elementary schools on the city’s east side were approaching capacity. Haley, Patterson and Weinberg elementary schools are all situated along the Val Vista Corridor, an area south of Loop 202 that has recently seen large road expansion projects and new home developments and includes part of Gilbert. Enrollment rates have peaked and are expected to continue rising by approxi-

district expenses, including; safety measures, technology, furniture equipment, transportation, non-instructional renovations and upgrades and energy management. Part of the recommendation for the new school allows current Weinberg students to be highly involved in developing its culture. Students will lend a hand in deciding on school colors and mascot, and will also help create the school song. CUSD currently has 4,000 total students who are eligible for gifted learning services but due to limited resources and space, only 1,000 are enrolled in them. Because of the vacancy at Weinberg Elementary after the new school is built, the district will have a facility primed for a new gifted academy, called Weinberg Gifted Academy. The academy will serve students on the district’s east side who are currently utilizing satellite gifted learning sites

throughout CUSD. The addition of the academy will let the district offer a choice through open enrollment of attending either site. CUSD will also provide dual busing through depot sites for both academies if needed. The recommendation also allows the grandfathering of 2018-19 and 2019-20 enrollments at gifted satellites through the 2024-25 school year, so current students could pick between the two academies. “If both gifted academies are at capacity, an optional gifted satellite may be considered at an elementary site that has space to accommodate those students,” said Frank Narducci, assistant superintendent for elementary instruction. Families and stake holders residing in communities that could be impacted if the recommendation is approved can expect to receive a formal letter in the coming week. The board will vote on this recommendation May 22.

He added that the IBCCES and Chamber partnership aims to meet the needs of those with autism head on while also creating a more dynamic workforce and thriving business community. The certification process varies for different businesses, according to the IBCCES website, but generally involves online courses and training followed by a review process. The amount of hours an employee will spend on an online course will also depend on the type of position they hold.

Tourism agency President/CEO Marc Garcia previously told the East Valley Tribune that the goal is to get as many businesses and agencies in Mesa on board as soon as possible. “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. Once 60 businesses get certified, the city can then be considered an autism certified “travel destination,” he said.

The new elementary school, currently dubbed Elementary #31, would accommodate the students, administration and staff currently located at Weinberg Elementary. If the recommendation is approved, the shift will take place before 2020-21 school year begins. Funding could come from a potential $29.3 million bond election. On June 12, the board is scheduled to discuss the bond and whether to hold the election this year. Of the projected total, $70 million would be set aside to purchase the land for an elementary school and potentially a high school that would not be built in the near future. It also would cover construction costs for both facilities. “The bond will be critical to do this,” said CUSD Chief Financial Officer Lana Berry. The election could also cover other

The Chamber — whose mission is to improve, promote and advocate for businesses in Mesa — was recently designated as a Certified Autism Center by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). In order to receive this title, its staff underwent online training to learn more about how to better serve individuals on the spectrum. The organization is now encouraging other businesses in the city to follow suit as part of a larger community effort to ensure that corporate, educational and entertainment options are available for those who have the sensory disorder. “We’re known as a community that cares and we want to be inclusive — this is part of it,” said Chamber President/ CEO Sally Harrison. “We just want to open doors and make introductions so that they [other businesses] can get the information they need and understand the ins and outs of how to get certified.” Last week, the Chamber hosted a presentation in partnership with IBCCES — which has been spearheading autism training for licensed healthcare professionals and educators around the world

Construction of Gilbert's first cemetery, which will includes a funeral home and memorial chapel, is underway and advancing toward a summer opening date. (Pablo Robles/Staff Photographer)

Gilbert cemetery likely to open this summer BY CECILIA CHAN Tribune Staff Writer

T

he town’s first cemetery is expected to open for business this summer near the corner of Queen Creek Road and 156th Street. When Gilbert Memorial Park broke ground last July, a spring debut was announced. “Construction is well underway,” said Bryce Bunker, president of Bunker Family Funerals and Cremation. “We are excited about the progress.” Bunker attributed the delayed opening to the normal construction process such as getting approvals that took longer than anticipated. The Mesa-based business has a 99year lease agreement to build and own the 22-acre cemetery on town land. Bunker Family Funerals will pay Gilbert rent on the land and share revenue from the operation of the cemetery. Gilbert anticipated it will receive between $100,000 and $200,000 annually in rent and revenue sharing over the course of the lease, according to town documents. According to town estimates, the project is expected to generate over $13 million in revenue for Gilbert over the course of the lease, well above the $2.3 million the town paid for the land in 1999. The cemetery is being built in multiple phases. The first and largest phase calls for a

10,000-square-foot funeral home with a chapel, a banquet facility and kitchen, private family estates for both burial and cremations, a cremation garden, a pond and an indoor glass-front cremation niche on 10 acres, according to Bunker. The cemetery will reflect the growing trend in people choosing cremation over burial, according to Bunker. “We got several different memorialization options for cremation options to meet any budget,” he said. “But certainly lot of our emphasis will be to make sure people who opt for cremation have several options.” In 2016, cremation for the first time overtook traditional burial in the United States, AARP reported. In 2017, the U.S. cremation rate was 51.6 percent and by 2030, it’s projected to reach 71 percent, according to Cremation Association of North America. Bunker said he has a list of about 700 people so far who’ve inquired about reserving a spot at the cemetery or about the progress of the construction. When the cemetery is completed, residents no longer will have to travel to other areas such as Mesa, Chandler and Queen Creek for their final resting place. Bunker said the capacity of the Gilbert cemetery is about 75-plus years. “We look forward to serving the community with something that is unique and different,” Bunker said.

Move afoot to ban high rates on title loans BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

S

aying the rates they charge amount to usury, backers of a new initiative seek to outlaw title loans — or at least the interest they are allowed to charge. Legal papers filed last week indicate voters could be asked next year to remove the exemption that the industry now has from state laws limiting interest to no more than 36 percent a year. Current title loans can carry an annual percentage rate up to 204 percent a year. Backers need 237,645 valid signatures by July 2, 2020, to put the issue on the general election ballot that year. The move is being pushed by many of the same organizations that were successful nearly a decade ago in wiping out so-

called “payday loans’’ where people could borrow up to $500 for two-week periods at effective interest rates that could exceed 400 percent. That, however, left the option for people who own their vehicles to borrow against it. Kelly Griffith of the Southwest Center for Economic Integrity, one of the groups behind the initiative, said the industry has stretched the law to the point where people don’t even need to have a clear title to their vehicles. “They’re exploiting that loophole,’’ she said, lending money to those who cannot afford to repay and therefore have to keep taking out new loans. “It’s another name for payday loans.’’ In 2008 voters decided to kill off the payday loan industry despite lenders spending more than $17 million to keep it alive.

Harb agreed that looking at issues of building design and even putting more police on campus ignores ways of preventing violence in the first place. “Often the threat is not outside the school gates but in the classroom, sitting next to me,’’ he said. And then there’s the issue of teens who take their own lives. “Armed guards can sometimes be useful when the first shots are fired,’’ Harb said. “But we often forget that counselors and support systems and other preventative measures to keep violence from happen-

Since that time, the Consumer Federation of America and the Center for Economic Integrity released a report showing that the title lending industry has exploded in Arizona. There have been several legislative proposals to rein in the industry and cap the allowable interest at 36 percent. Each of those has fallen short in the Republican-controlled Legislature. That leaves foes of the industry the option of taking their case directly to voters. The initiative is likely to get a fight from the industry which has argued that it provides an option for people who do not have access to easy credit at regular interest rates — meaning below that 36 percent APR. “Our customers are individuals that can’t get those rates,’’ said Stuart Good-

man, who lobbies for the Arizona Title Loan Association, saying most have no relationships with banks. “We’re dealing with high-risk individuals with bad credit that have some sort of instant short-term credit need,’’ he said. “They’re not being served by the traditional banking community because of the risk associated.’’ But Griffith said she believes the industry effectively encourages people to borrow, noting, “If you do not have enough income to meet your basic cash flow needs, whatever those are...what are the chances you’re going to be able to pay that loan back?’’ “It drives people to bankruptcy, to closing checking accounts, to addictions,’’ Griffith said. “So the consequences are huge.’’

ing in the first place.’’ That question of the lack of counselors got increased attention earlier this month with a report by the American School Counselor Association that, on average, there is one counselor for every 905 students in Arizona public schools. That’s nearly twice the national average. Gov. Doug Ducey has proposed funding for an additional 224 counselors to be hired during the next two years. That, however, would bring it down to just one counselor for every 766 students. Still, Brophy McGee said her colleagues cannot ignore the fact that the incidents on

campuses across the nation involve guns. “At the end of the day, we’ve got to figure out how to keep guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people, whether they’re students or whether there were adults,’’ she said. Last year, Ducey proposed allowing judges to issue orders to take weapons from people who are considered dangerous. Even with that change the measure could not get a hearing in the House. Ducey made a new plea for his plan this year but could not even get it introduced into legislation.

He also signed a measure to eliminate the minimum $8,000 penalty on hunters who take “trophy’’ animals, exempting nonprofit residential treatment and educational facilities from property taxes, and making it a requirement that when lobbyists file reports they have to swear to the accuracy of the content under penalty of perjury.

Mesa lawmaker can’t break House budget stalemate BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

A

bid by House Speaker Rusty Bowers to break the Republican gridlock over the budget has been rejected out of hand by the Phoenix Republican who it’s supposed to satisfy. The Mesa legislative leader is proposing that HB 2476 give victims of sexual assault and abuse when they were minors until age 30 to file civil suits against their assailants. That’s 12 more years than they have now under what is one of the shortest statute of limitations in the country for such victims. But Sen. Paul Boyer, claiming Bowers has not bothered to contact him, said that won’t cut it. He’s holding out for a law that would give victims seven years to file suit from the time they report the incident to a medical or mental health professional. Anything less, Boyer said, is largely meaningless. “The one thing we know about sexual predators is they don’t stop until they’re caught or exposed,’’ he said.

House Speaker Rusty Bowers of Mesa tried unsuccessfully last week to broker a deal to end the stalemate in the Senate, where several Republicans are refusing to approve any new state budget. (Capitol Media Services)

Boyer has vowed to withhold his vote for the approximately $11.5 billion budget until his version gets a vote. He has

the backing of Sen. Heather Carter, RCave Creek — leaving Senate GOP leadership without the 16 votes needed to

adopt a spending plan. That isn’t stopping Bowers and Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, from saying they intend to unveil a spending plan on Monday, at least to their own members. At that point they will count noses to see if they can get the necessary votes. GOP leaders are coalescing around a plan that would cut income taxes in future years by more than doubling the standard deduction available to individuals and couples. That, coupled with some additional tax credits for dependents, should make up for the “windfall’’ the state is getting due to changes in the federal tax code, changes that reduce deductions that can be taken by Arizona taxpayers. Still, one potential sticking point is what to do with the extra dollars already being collected. The latest figures from the state Department of Revenue show the income tax payments tallied so far this year were $652.9 million compared with $566 million for the same period last year.

Agency spokesman Ed Greenberg said the numbers — and that extra $87 million extra are preliminary as tax returns are still being processed. He said that there may be other factors that are affecting payments. Meanwhile, legislative budget staffers are sticking with their estimate that the changes in federal tax law will result in a net $155 million extra flowing into the state treasury, though an update is planned for later this month. Gov. Doug Ducey has proposed putting the extra cash into the state’s rainy day fund, money set aside in a reserve against future economic downturns. That, however, continues to draw sharp reaction from some Republicans. On Thursday, Rep. Mark Finchem, ROro Valley, said he will not support having the state keep the extra money, what with an anticipated $1 billion surplus without it. There are other problems for the GOP leadership in corralling the votes. Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, has vowed to withhold her support until lawmakers repeal a $32-a-vehicle registration fee designed to fund the state Highway Patrol. Lawmakers authorized the fee last year

but left the amount up to John Halikowski, director of the state Department of Transportation after being told by budget analysts that it likely would be no more than $18. It was only in December that Halikowski said the computation — and the list of who is and is not subject to the levy — came out higher. And Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, has said she is holding out for more funding for social service programs and other priorities. That doesn’t even account for the fact that there are just 31 Republicans in the 60-member House, meaning Bowers cannot afford to lose even one vote given. Democrats have shown no interest in supporting the GOP spending plan. Bowers contends that adding at least 12 more years “will ensure that victims have greater access to justice and will bring Arizona’s law more in line with other states.’’ Boyer’s plan does include a seven-year statute of limitations, but only with the clock starting from the time someone realizes she or he has been victimized by reporting it to a medical professional. “This will make Republicans look like the party that’s covering for sexual predators,’’ Boyer said. “That’s not the party I’ve been a part of since the age of 18.’’

School district outsources substitute teacher hiring BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

C

handler Unified School District unanimously approved a $3.6-million contract with an outside company to handle hiring of substitute teachers. The transition to Educational Services, Inc., (ESI) — expected to be completed before the 2020 academic year begins — is necessary due to long processing times for potential substitutes at peak hiring times, according to Sandy Cooper, the CUSD assistant superintendent for human resources. The inability to get substitutes processed quickly has led to potential new-hires accepting positions in other districts, leaving some CUSD classes without replacements for absent teachers. “I don’t have any reason to think they are not choosing CUSD, I’m just competitive enough to know if they want to substitute in Chandler or Gilbert because they live in this area and they apply in both places and Gilbert processes them faster than we do, then they’re likely to accept the job over there,” said Cooper. Just before school starts, the district conducts interviews, does background checks and processes 900 fulltime employees in addition to countless substitutes that apply for positions. “[The partnership] is going to allow us to focus on the more permanent employees, and then this company can focus and specialize just on the substitutes,” Cooper said of the ESI contract. “A lot of our surrounding districts have also switched to this model, and one of the things we heard about this company is that the transition is easy and smooth,” she added. The district’s current and new substitutes can expect their checks to come from

ESI, an expedited and “Chandlerized” hiring and background check process, and a generous shift in benefits. Cooper said benefits are currently granted to substitutes who work 1,560 hours in one year, but Educational Services Inc. requires just 900 hours to qualify for benefits. In exchange for 10 percent of the total substitute teacher payroll, totaling $287,199 per year, ESI provides recruitment, background checks, orientation seminars and professional development among an extensive list of other services. Cooper said though the department has carefully looked over ESI’s services to ensure a good fit for the district, the transition couldn’t have come soon enough. Due to lack of substitutes, CUSD has had to split students among various other teachers when their teacher is absent on an increasing-basis over the last two years. “It’s not what we want for the kids and it’s not what we want for the teachers,” said Cooper. “Another way that we deal with that at the junior high and high school level is that the teacher actually takes the class during their prep period,” she said. “So, kids are served well with another very qualified teacher but that teacher then loses their prep time and then they have to spend their evening prepping.” She added many of the current substitutes work for other districts that utilize ESI’s services so the new model is not foreign to them. She is expecting a comfortable transition. “We have a number of meetings scheduled, and we are going to do a personal orientation where they’ll understand why we’re doing this what value it is for them and for the district just to help ensure the process is easy and smooth for them,” Cooper said.

Paralyzed rodeo rider back in the ring BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

M

esa resident Kerry Jones suffered from a traumatic rodeo accident when he was 18 that left him paralyzed from the chest down — but that didn’t deter him from pursuing his passions in the arena. Now 55, Jones fills his time by judging bull riding competitions from his wheelchair at venues across the Valley, including Hitching Post Saloon, Buffalo Chip Saloon and Roadrunner Restaurant and Saloon. He also offers tips and advice to young riders on how to better improve their form. A veteran cowboy, Jones is a living example of perseverance today. “If there’s something that you want to do, no matter what it is, find a way to do it,” said Jones. “Find people that can help you do it. If you need help, ask somebody to help and find a way to make it happen.”

Jones was born in Wichita, Kansas, and moved to Arizona when he was 6 years old. He started experimenting in rodeos three years later, practicing on steers and calves. The 55 year old said he quickly fell in love with the sport. “There’s an adrenaline involved when you’re sitting down to ride something that is around 2,000 pounds,” he said. “You get that adrenaline pump from either the danger or the competition aspect. For me, it was just the challenge of, ‘can I be better than this animal and the other guys I’m competing against?’” Jones traveled across the state, accompanied by his father and four siblings, competing against Arizona’s finest. Although rodeos can be both physically and mentally taxing, Jones said, he came out successful due to his dad’s unconditional support. “You’ve got to be in pretty good physical shape, it’s probably the toughest sport

out there because you don’t have the shoulder pads you do in football,” he said. “When you know you’ve got somebody behind you that is there to help you and point out some mistakes — it’s a huge boost through how you perform.” But that all changed on March 7, 1982. When Jones was a senior in high school he was gearing up for a Scottsdale rodeo in which he would be riding a bucking horse bareback. A seasoned rider, Jones said nothing had prepared him for what was to come. Jones was bucked off the horse, tangling his legs with the horse’s legs — driving his body straight into the ground head-first. The teen broke C6 in his neck, dislocated C7 and pinched his spinal cord. “I was awake and conscious the whole time, I remember it all,” he said. “It was one of those life events that you don’t forget.” The road to recovery was long and hard,

etween them, Mesa residents Missy Gardiner and Aubree Fry have 12 kids and university degrees in music. In a way, they have a plan that will bring them more of both, though the kids won’t be living under their roof. The two women are ramping up a children’s choir and singing school for the simple reason they believe the East Valley could use some more young, trained voices. “We feel strongly about providing an uplifting, musical experience for children in the Mesa area,” said Gardiner, the mother of nine. “There are so many wonderful benefits from being a part of a choir, and we truly want to share our love of music with these children. It is something about which we are very passionate.” Added Fry: “We hope to develop a strong reputation for a quality music education program that not only produces successful choirs, but that strengthens

our individual musicians as well.” The two women are starting Sing School, which will provide choral and vocal arts instruction to children 5 to 18

who love to sing. “Our choirs focus on healthy vocal technique, musicianship and performance skills in a fun and uplifting at-

mosphere,” Gardiner said, stating their pupils will “gain confidence, develop friendships and learn musicianship skills that will help them thrive, They also want to provide “a quality choir program to the children of Mesa” because they think the area needs one,” Gardiner explained, adding: “We have taken it upon ourselves to found and grow a quality program right here in Mesa to ensure our children have access to the wonderful benefits that come from choral singing.” Rehearsals begin Aug. 15 and will be held Thursdays after school at Love of Christ Lutheran Church, 1525 N. Power Road. Though it’s a long way off, the two women said they need to sign up youngsters now so they can be assured they’ll have enough students. Neither woman is a stranger to formal music training. Gardiner has a degree in voice performance from Arizona State University

said Jones, but he never gave up hope. At the initial time of his injury, he weighed around 170 pounds. Within a month and a half, he lost 40 pounds due to muscle atrophy. Jones, who was doing physical therapy at the Good Samaritan hospital, said he was determined to get back in shape. “There were a lot of things I enjoyed doing that I wanted to be able to do again and I knew if I didn’t get in better shape then I wouldn’t be able to do those things,” he said. “Once I got home, it was a matter of getting in a wheelchair and

Gardiner has taught piano and voice lessons for years and has performed with various choirs and toured many different countries with Brigham Young University Young Ambassadors, a show choir. She also directed both adult and children’s choirs. Fray has taught private piano and voice lessons for six years. She also has taught in both elementary music classes and junior high choirs and has been a choir director for her church. They will have four choirs, While membership in the choir for kindergarten to second grade will be capped at 20, they hope to have 30 to 40 for the three others: grades 3-5, grades 6-8 and one for high school students.

getting miles in. At one point, I was probably pushing 5 miles a day down the side of the road.” While the cowboy said he never felt “depressed,” he struggled with overcoming the frustration of gaining his independence back. But his family’s support helped him push through. “Having to re-learn how to get dressed and feed yourself, for somebody that was as independent as I was before I broke my neck, was frustrating,” he said. “I had a lot of support from my family and friends and they would kind of test me because they knew I could do it and they believed

While they plan to have some sacred repertoire in the mix, “the choir is separate from the church and will not be used for church services. Our performances will not take place at the church,” Gardiner said. “We want the children to experience a wide variety of all the very finest music available.” “We feel strongly about providing an uplifting, musical experience for children in the Mesa area,” added Fry. “There are so many wonderful benefits from being a part of a choir, and we truly want to share our love of music with these children. It is something about which we are very passionate.” Tuition is $155-175, with discounts for early registration through June 2. There is also a discount for registering more than one sibling and a $30-$35 registration fee to cover things such as folders, music, and other classroom items.

in me.” He added that, as a result, his injury has made him a more understanding and patient person. Following the accident, the Kansas native said he hadn’t really considered getting back into the rodeo-scene until 1990 – when a friend and former world champion bull rider asked him to help out at his rodeo school. Soon after, Jones started judging smaller bull riding competitions on a volunteer-basis, occasionally offering tips and support to riders when he got a chance. Now almost 20 years later, he spends his time traveling around the valley for

competitions in which he gets paid. The quality of the ride is determined by the rowdiness of the bull and how well the rider matches the animal’s moves with countermoves. Each rider can only use one hand and must stay on it for eight seconds. “The rider needs to show he can be in complete control of that animal during the eight seconds,” said Jones. “So, sitting in a good, upright position and not hanging off to the side.” Reflecting on his injury, Jones – who now has a wife and six kids – said he hopes that anyone who is in a similar position to him is to never give up hope.

Spencer’s surprises 3 lucky customers BY KATIE SAWYER Tribune Staff Writer

T

hree lucky Spencer’s TV & Appliances shoppers were gifted with a major prize at the store’s original location in Mesa last week. Rob Gaschler, Fred and Deanne Dresser and Kim Brontsema each won $10,000 to spend how they like in the store as a reward for being the 5 millionth customers. Any shopper that purchased an item at Spencer’s qualified, but customers could also enter online or in person. General Manager Clifton Orlandi said the winners were chosen through a lottery system, and could choose from anything in the store, except, “this washer dryer, they can’t have that,” he laughed, pointing at a vintage, bright yellow Maytag washer/dryer circa 1970s. Mesa native Rob Gaschler was getting gas when he received the call from Spencer’s telling him he won. The new homeowner had just purchased a washer/ dryer at the beginning of March, and was ecstatic to hear about his good fortune. “It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever won!” He said excitedly. “The only other thing I’ve

port a small business was simple. “I used to buy from the big-name stores, (but) realized Spencer’s had better deals and better customer service, and it’s a

long-time local business. I like supporting that,” he said. As for what will happen to his current appliances, Gaschler hopes to share his win with his mom by giving them to her. He said his kitchen “has basic appliances — they’re new, but they’re basic. I’ll probably put those in my mom’s house because she needs new appliances,” he said. Fred and Deanne Dresser moved to Goodyear a little over four years ago, and knew where to go for appliances when they found themselves in the market for a refrigerator. “We got treated right in the store and they do their own service work,” said Fred. They’re still deciding what to do with their sweet prize, but in the meantime, they’ve had fun perusing the aisles of shiny, stainless steel appliances. “There’s so many thoughts,” said Fred. “We’ve never won anything like this!” His wife Deanne chimed in. “We’re looking at a dishwasher, a double oven,” said Fred.

Offerpad also has offices in Tucson, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Orlando, Atlanta and other cities while the founder and CEO Brian Bair lives in Gilbert. Offerpad’s co-founder is Jerry Coleman. Bair started Offerpad after he and his executive team obtained a deep understanding of the challenges people deal with when they sell their homes. They discovered even successful sellers got overwhelmed by the stress of selling, including trying to guess the price their home would sell for, preparing the house for showings, negotiating a deal, finding moves and waiting for their closing date, Haroldsen said.

Spencer’s TV & Appliances has been in business for 47 years, expanding to 10 locations in the Valley just within the last two decades. Recently, however, costs for the local business have gone up due to the trade war with China. “Costs have went up, but we haven’t seen a change in slowing down purchases. It hasn’t really slowed us down at all, but it’s all concerning — that’s for sure,” Orlandi said. Regardless, Orlandi sees the company continuing to grow and give back.

gy with fundamental industry experience to offer a platform where sellers can get a strong purchase offer for their home, quickly contract and close and avoid the traditional real estate selling process. “You type in an address and say, ‘I’d like you to send me an offer,’” Haroldsen said. “We send a number to you. What we do is we get the house ready. We turn and sell it ourselves.” Once it has purchased a home and made it ready to be viewed by potential buyers, Offerpad puts a keypad on the door so potential buyers can use an app, receive a code and tour the house by themselves. “You can make us an offer; you can buy it right there,” Haroldsen said. “Our motto is ‘move freely’ because we want to provide as much freedom in buying and selling a home. We are looking for people that are excited about the home.” The benefits of selling a home to Offerpad are the sellers get to pick the closing date they want, Offerpad hires and pays

for a moving company to move them to another area within certain distances. It makes competitive offers on homes and sellers have up to three days to move to their new home after Offerpad buys it. Offerpad also makes renovations on homes before selling them. People who buy homes from Offerpad have the freedom to check out hundreds of Offerpad’s homes on their own using the Instant Access system, where they get a code through an app or text to enter the home. Buyers also have flexibility with their move-in date and their own dedicated transaction manager to assist them through the whole process, according to Offerpad’s website. Hundreds of homes are sold through Offerpad in Arizona every year and the company only sells used homes. “Real estate is a really busy place,” Haroldsen said. “Lots of different companies are trying to figure out how to update the model. We think we’re pretty unique in the way that we operate.” Information: offerpad.com

I’m grateful for my mother’s choice, but… BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

W

e talked about it, my mother and I, back when I was a teenager. How she felt in the fall of 1964, a New York City girl just graduated from high school at the age of 17 who found herself pregnant. They were dating then, my mother and father, and had been throughout high school. The Beatles were ringing up Number One hits. “My Fair Lady” was big at the box office. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution had escalated tensions over Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson was slugging it out with Barry Goldwater for the presidency. My father was 18. He worked at a bike shop, made deliveries for a pharmacy and took college classes at night. The two teenagers had a few discussions. Then one night they got in the car and eloped to Elk-

ton, a small city in Maryland. There would be no abortion. “There was a place you could go get one,” my mother would tell me. “It wasn’t legal, but I had friends who went. Your father and I talked about it. We decided to get married.” This was the time before Roe versus Wade, of course, a time of hidden medical procedures and stories tinged with blood. I thought a lot about those times last week, when Alabama became the latest state to enact a near-total ban on abortions. Under this new law — meant to provoke a legal fight up to the U.S. Supreme Court — all abortions would be illegal except “in cases where abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk to the unborn child’s mother.” Alabama’s legislators made no exception for pregnancies caused by rape or by incest. It is a law with which I disagree, not because I disrespect life, but because I

believe that life cannot be defined as life until a fetus can live viably outside the womb, either with medical intervention or without. Given that doctors and scientists put the age of viability at somewhere between 20 and 24 weeks post-conception, I believe that abortion should remain legal until that point in time — and beyond in cases of sexual assault, incest or serious medical risk to the mother. Of course, I am also a man. As such, my say in a woman’s right to choose carries less weight than that of the human beings who carry fetuses until birth. Up until today, 54 years and counting, I have never once been a part of a conversation like the talks my parents had in the fall of 1964. Speculatively, I have always believed that I would choose as my parents did, on the side of having the baby. But let’s be real: Speculation about decisions hardly

carries the same stakes as facing the decision itself. This will sound strange, but more than once I thanked my mother for choosing as she did, to give birth to me. I admire the choice she made, though — and this is the strange part — I told her that I would have forgiven her for choosing to have an illegal abortion. Granting me life was the original gift my parents gave me and it was made all the more valuable by the two of them having made the express choice to have me. You can disagree. You can say that life is so sacred, the laws of man must protect it. And I will respect your argument, even though I disagree about the moment when life begins. Personally, I prefer to view my life as a choice made by two teenagers in love, rather than the byproduct of a few politicians forcing their views onto a terrified and unwilling 17-year-old girl.

Chandler wins boys volleyball title in dramatic fashion BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

T

he Chandler High School boys volleyball team has been focused on redeeming themselves all season. Last year, the Wolves entered the 6A Conference tournament as the top-ranked team, but fell to district-rival Perry High School in the first round. The loss ate away at each returning member of the team, until now. In front of a standing-room only crowd at Highland High School May 11, Chandler beat Mountain View High School in dramatic fashion to capture the 6A state championship. “It’s all for the team, it’s a destiny,” Chandler senior Tyler Castellani said. “We all worked hard every single practice. We grinded for this. This is all we wanted.” Second-ranked Chandler and No. 4 Mountain View went back-and-forth throughout the entire match, trading

leads numerous times through each set. Led by seniors Braxton Bradbeer and Adam Ray, the Wolves managed to win the

first set and take a 1-0 match lead over the Toros. Mountain View, however, won the next

two sets thanks to terrific play from junior middle hitter Karson Sherwood. “At the beginning of the second set we fell apart as a team,” Chandler junior Tyler Sprungman said. “We didn’t talk. We won the first set so we just kind of took it easy. We did that a lot this year, but we were able to come back together and pull it out.” Facing a two-set deficit, Chandler regrouped and came out firing on all cylinders in the fourth set. Sprungman played a key role on offense, recording most of his 12 total kills in the fourth set. Chandler beat Mountain View in the fourth, 25-19 — the largest point differential in the match. With a decisive fifth set on the way, 15 points was all that separated either team from the championship trophy. Despite the nerve-wracking experience, Chandler coach Bobby Robson never lost faith in his players.

Desert Ridge High’s Koa Tuipala wins gold in hurdles BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

K

oa Tuipala knew he was favored to win gold in the Division I 110-meter hurdles at the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s Track and Field State Championships, but he didn’t let that get to his head. The Desert Ridge High senior remained calm in the midst of competition at Mesa Community College on Saturday, May 4, and used his past struggles with injury as motivation. Tuipala won gold after he ran the hurdles in 14.30 seconds. He beat Chandler’s DeCarlos Brooks, Hamilton High School’s Karsen Burke and Desert Vista High School’s Ethan Wright to win the title. “It feels really good,” Tuipala said. “I’ve raced against those same guys all four years of my high school career. I think it’s

just really cool that we have been able to compete against each other for so long and make each other faster. Tuipala’s journey to the state title began when he was just a freshman at Des-

ert Ridge. He came up short of qualifying for the state meet, but had already established himself as one of the top hurdlers in the state. He qualified as a sophomore and junior, but didn’t make it past preliminaries. A sports hernia his junior year played a role in his early exit. A two-sport athlete, Tuipala spent the past two seasons as a strong safety on Desert Ridge’s varsity football roster. He compiled 129 total tackles, 75 of which solo, and 2 interceptions in his varsity career. He helped lead the Jaguars to the playoffs both years. Now he can add state champion to his legacy at Desert Ridge. “I think it just represents all of the hard work I and my entire track team has put in all year,” Tuipala said. “It feels good to keep

“My trust in them and their trust in each other, I don’t think it ever waivered,” Robson said. “They’ve gone through so much high and low together. They’re winners.” The two teams traded blows throughout the final set of the match. Mountain View managed to take a two-point lead late, but Chandler stormed back. A combination of service errors and hits out of play by both teams kept each in play for the title. Tied at 14, a kill attempt by Ray was blocked by two Mountain View defenders. The ball, however, landed out of play and resulted in a point for the Wolves. Leading 15-14, Sprungman served the ball for Chandler. Numerous kill attempts by both teams, followed by a pair of digs by Sprungman and Castellani, resulted one of the longest volleys of the night between the two teams. A kill by Ray finally fell to the floor. Chaos ensued as the Wolves rushed the floor to celebrate their championship win. “This is the best thing that could happen for me and all of the other seniors,” Castellani said. “We knew from the beginning we had the talent we just needed to

progressing and finally get the state title.” Tuipala followed up his state-championship performance with yet another medal in the 300 hurdles. He placed 4th overall with a time of 39.27 seconds. With few Desert Ridge athletes competing in the state meet, Tuipala accounted for most of the Jaguars’ 20 points during the meet. They placed 10th overall, but Tuipala remains pleased with his ability to battle back from injury and improve over the course of the last four years . “It’s great,” Tuipala said. “It’s really neat to see how the results of the past three years have helped me this year.”

execute. It feels great.” It’s a dream come true for Castellani, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker. On the varsity roster since his sophomore season, he rarely saw playing time until he was able to compete for a starting role his junior year. However, he was beat out by another player.

People ask how Chandler High is doing what they’re doing and it’s because our leadership is second to none. “I’m super thankful for them.”

“He was angry,” Robson said. “He promised he would step it up and win the job this year. He did that. His focus and intensity this week was amazing. I’m really proud of him.” Castellani had 8 kills and 4 blocks for Chandler in its win over Mountain View. He had 151 kills and 59 blocks the entire season. He and the rest of the seniors now pass the reigns over to Sprungman, who was the only junior starter on the floor for the Wolves this season. While Sprungman knows it will be a challenge to defend the title next season, it’s one he is willing to face. “These seniors really meant everything,” Sprungman said. “It’s going to be a whole new team next year, but I think we have the talent to still get it done.” Chandler’s boys volleyball team is the latest athletic program to add to the legacy of champions the school has created in recent years. Robson, a Chandler alum, credits the success to the school’s administration. The 25-year-old believes the support they have for him — as well as other coaches — despite his young age shows the true character of the administration, and it has

George Takei, an original Trekkie, a Fan Fusion guest LAURA LATZKO

G

eorge Takei is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu in “Star Trek: The Original Series” and subsequent “Star Trek” films and animated series, but he is much more than just one role. The actor’s illustrious career has spanned six decades and included different film, video game and TV roles. When he was hired as the show’s Lt. Hikaru Sulu, he realized the importance of “Star Trek.” “Gene Roddenberry created an extraordinary show back in the ’60s. We premiered in 1966. That was a turbulent time in America. The civil rights movement was going on. The Vietnam War was going on in Southeast Asia, and we were at the coldest point in the Cold War,” he said. Roddenberry wanted to make a statement about that condition. In order to do that and get it on TV, he had to be creative. He chose the 23rd century, 300 years in the future, and created a utopian kind of society, Takei said. “The strength of the starship lay in people coming from many different continents, many different cultures, races, faiths, many different histories, all work-

ing together,” he explained, noting: “Many young Asian Americans saw me as a hero and an icon for them because they had never seen an Asian American playing a heroic role, a member of the leadership team of that starship. I was very mindful of the responsibility that I had. Each one of us carried that same kind of responsibility and pride in the characters that we played.” Takei is also a long-time social activist who for most of his life has fought for social justice and equality for underrepresented people, including the LGBT com-

munity. Takei and his costars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig will visit Phoenix for the Phoenix Fan Fusion comic and pop culture convention, which runs from Thursday, May 23, to Sunday, May 26. During the convention, attendees can meet with prominent sci-fi and fantasy actors and comic book creators; dress up in cosplay and meet other enthusiasts; learn more about local cosplay groups; attend panels and workshops on comic book, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, cosplay and gaming topics; play video, card and table top games against others; shop for oneof-a-kind and vintage items and take part in after-party events. Now put on by Square Egg Entertainment, the event started as Phoenix Cactus Comicon in 2002 and has also been known as Phoenix Comicon and Phoenix Comic Fest. Square Egg Entertainment’s Kristin Rowan said, “Most comic conventions have evolved into events that have much more than just comic books. There are still very comic-centric conventions, but so many of them have embraced things like gaming, anime, cosplay and all of these other things. Fan Fusion seems to encompass that. Every year, we look ‘what are

people really clambering for and what do people love from their childhood?’” For fans, conventions such as Phoenix Fan Fusion offer the chance to meet, take pictures with and get autographs from actors who touched their lives in some way. The Phoenix convention will also host Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones,” Jeff Goldblum from the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” series and the “Independence Day” saga, Elijah Wood from “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, Robin Lord Taylor from “Gotham,” SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Tom Kenny, Matthew Lewis from “The Harry Potter” film series, Catherine Tate from “Dr. Who,” Jack Skellington voice actor Chris Sarandon and Ray Park from “Star Wars: Episode 1-The Phantom Menace.” Phoenix Fan Fusion, Phoenix Convention Center, 100 N.

Popular Broadway musical to hit the MAC GET OUT STAFF

n a musical that aims to bridge divides, unify audiences and celebrate family and friendship in all its forms, “In the Heights” will make its East Valley premiere at Mesa Arts Center May 17. Produced by Mesa Encore Theatre, “In the Heights” was the first Broadway hit from Lin-Manuel Miranda, known for the ever-popular “Hamilton.” This lively, musical depiction of life in Washington Heights, a predominantly Latinx neighborhood in upper Manhattan, tells the story of several characters grappling with issues of family, love and fortune, even as gentrification begins to threaten their beloved community. “The story celebrates knowing the people around you and knowing you share this bond,” said Marcos D. Voss, director of “In the Heights.” Even if you

can dream — all within a framework of Latin music, rap and traditional musical theatre ballads. As is its signature, MET’s live band, vibrant costumes, nonstop dancing and stage design breathe life into this story that connects audiences of all backgrounds. “In the Heights” opened on Broadway in 2008 and ran until 2011. Winner of the Best Musical Tony Award in 2008, the production has since become a favorite of community theaters nationwide. MET’s production of “In the Heights” will be performed at the Nesbitt/Elliott Playhouse at the Mesa Arts Center from May 17 to June 2. Tickets begin at $32, with discounts for students and seniors.
