EV cities gear up for critical census BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor

t’s going to be easy to overlook a little postcard that will arrive in your mail next March. Between the kids, the rent, the job and the busted washing machine, it won’t seem like a big deal. Plus, it’ll probably be hard to find among all the pizza coupons and dental implant ads. All that notwithstanding, your city – doesn’t matter which city – is hoping you’ll treat that card like a piece of gold. Because in a way, it is. The card is going to come from the U.S. Census Bureau, and it’s going to ask you some questions about how many people live in your home, your ethnicity and similar stuff. Whether you respond could help determine how many federal dollars will be used to im-

prove your hometown, and your answers will have a bearing on who ultimately represents you in Congress, the Legislature or even your City Council. The financial stakes are huge. According to the Maricopa Association of Governments, the federal government distributes $675 billion a year to cities and states, depending on their populations. Arizona gets $13.5 billion of that, and the more people your city counts, the more money it gets. Based on how many people live where, Arizona’s congressional and legislative district maps will be redrawn after census results are in. The count will also affect the boundaries of Mesa’s six City Council districts. The official date for the 2020 census is April 1. That seems like a long way off, but some East Valley cities already have been preparing

attered copies of paperback books – such as “Nobel Prize Conversations” and “Theosophy: A Modern Expression of the Wisdom of the Ages” – decorate the bedside table of what may be Mesa’s oldest resident, Father Harold Knight. “That’s a very good book. I’ve read it a number of times,” he said about “Nobel Prize,” by Sir John Eccles, Roger Sperry, Ilya Prigogine and Brian Josephson. The retired longtime rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Mesa, lover of philosophy and psychology and Mesa Citizen of the Year, turns 107 on Friday, July 26.

The church, at 322 N. Horne St., will host a card shower after the 10 a.m. service July 28 for friends and family members to express how much he means to them. Knight was a rector at the church for 20 years – the longest-serving rector in its 103-year history. The centenarian currently lives at home with his wife of 46 years, Edithanne, and attributes his

for months. Mesa, the region’s largest and most diverse municipality, is in that category – and it sees potential threats when it comes to getting an accurate count. Francisco Heredia, who represents southwest Mesa on the City Council, is leading a 20-plus-person task force that has been meeting since last year to plan census strategies. Heredia said public apathy and fear of government intrusion can make it hard to count everyone even in a normal year. But this time around the count could be even more difficult, especially in areas with high immigrant populations. The reason is an effort by the Trump administration to add to this year’s form a question

Fake-toner scam costs Mesa firms big BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

C

onsumers affected by a Mesa man’s toner cartridge scam are receiving the first installment of restitution benefits for over $200,000. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office is distributing monetary awards to businesses that paid James Deremiah and his companies, INT Sourcing LLC and Premiere Office Supplies, for fake invoices for the ink, used in printers and copy machines. “If someone takes your money under false pretenses, consumers are entitled to restitution,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich in a release, adding: “Whether you’re an individual consumer or a business that’s been ripped off, the Arizona Attorney General’s office is a leading voice in fighting for restitution for victims of consumer fraud.” Brnovich sued Deremiah and his businesses last year, alleging that they sent fake toner cartridge invoices to churches, schools and businesses to trick victims into paying the bogus bills as a routine business matter. The settlement includes full restitution for every business that sent money in response to the invoices. Half of the restitution will be sent this month, while the other half will be distributed next year, when Deremiah makes his court-ordered payments. The Mesa resident must also pay at least $140,000 in civil penalties. From at least Dec. 30, 2015 to Feb. 16, 2018, Deremiah sent thousands of toner cartridge invoices from INT Sourcing LLC and Premiere Office Supplies – both with Mesa addresses – to consumer businesses across the country. Deremiah and his companies would contact consumers via phone, according to court documents, and introduce themselves as either their copier or printer service. They would then gather personal information about the “clients,” such as equipment serial numbers, and use it to procure a false invoice. After receiving payment, Deremiah would send the toner cartridges – which were available through other companies, often at one-tenth of the price – followed by a second invoice for $1,500. “The invoices violated the CFA [Arizona Consumer Fraud Act] because they had the tendency and capacity to deceive consumer businesses into believing that the consumer businesses owed

Chandler school board OKs $25M land deal BY KEVIN REAGAN Tribune Staff Writer

T

he Chandler Unified School District has approved spending $25 million for land to build a new high school, despite a public outcry from neighbors near the site about noise and traffic congestion. The district is planning to build two new schools – one elementary and one secondary – in the southeastern part of Chandler in order to accommodate 3,000 students projected to enter the district over the next decade. During a special meeting last Tuesday, the district’s Governing Board unanimously authorized CUSD to purchase 73.5 acres near Gilbert and Brooks Farm roads from LaPaglia Farms. The district agreed to pay about $350,000 per acre – a negotiated price that administrators said was justified considering its location and lack of other available parcels within district boundaries. “In terms of approximate spacing to our existing campuses and the lack of truly viable land alternatives, we believe our negotiated price of $350,000 per acre is justifiable,” Chief Financial Officer Lana Berry said. Associate Superintendent Frank Fletcher also told residents that the district isn’t buying the land without a detailed examination for any problems. “We make sure that there’s nothing on the site that will prohibit us from purchasing,” he said. “If any of that shows up within the 60-to-90-day due diligence period, we walk away from the contract at our earnest money is returned.”

The areas outlined in red and blue near the bottom left show the land parcels that Chandler Unified wants to buy for $25 million to build a new high school. (Chandler Unified)

But some community members felt the district was putting the cart before the horse by investing a large amount of funds in a project that’s still in the preliminary stages. “You’re paying top dollar for something that you have not planned for,” Brian Lee, a Chandler resident, told the school board. Several questions were asked about open enrollment, the district’s boundaries and whether a new high school is really necessary. The main point emphasized by administrators is that CUSD needs another high school or class sizes will increase. “That has not been our goal,” said Berry. “Our goal has been to keep our teacher ratios low.”

CUSD Chief Financial Officer Lana Berry and Associate Superintendent Frank Fletcher defended the land purchase, saying a new school is needed to keep class size low. (Special to the Tribune)

Berry told the board that CUSD is projecting to add about 300 secondary students annually for the next six years. But lower birth rates are expected to shrink the district’s elementary enrollment in the near future, she added. This past year, the Arizona School Facilities Board appropriated funds for a new high school in Chandler that would serve up to 800 students. The district could be eligible for additional funds from the state board, Berry added, which would offset what the district might have to spend with bond money. The project’s funding won’t be contingent upon a $290 million bond issue that will go before voters in November, according to district spokesman Terry Locke. A breakdown of how the bond money would be spent shows some funds have been reserved for building the new high school. No documents detailing the recent land deal were available to review as of Wednesday. Locke said CUSD had few options for finding enough land around Chandler that could fit a new high school – two sites were selected and only one owner was interested in selling, he said. But several residents were not pleased with the site’s location, calling it downright “awful” due to the traffic and noise a new high school would generate along Gilbert Road. Shortly before Tuesday’s meeting, someone attempted to drum up opposition to the project by mailing out a letter

expressing their disapproval of constructing a noisy high school. “Not only will this bring more traffic into the area,” the unsigned letter reads, “we will also experience bright lights at night (football and baseball games) and loud noises in the morning (marching band practice).” CUSD Superintendent Camille Casteel said she never thought the district would have to build another high school, yet space is running out as the existing high schools have already added several classrooms in recent years. “We tried to hold off,” the superintendent said. “We think this is the only real viable alternative.” Even though enrollment at some elementary schools is starting to level off, the district is planning to build another K-8 campus in the next couple years on 13 acres near Ocotillo Road and 148th Street. The new school would service students attending Weinberg Elementary and the old facility could be re-purposed into a campus for gifted students. Earlier this year, the school board approved spending $817,000 in engineering services for building the new elementary school, which would not be completed until at least July 2020. The new high school will likely not open until July 2021. No formal construction contracts have been brought before the board for consideration and a chunk of bond funds have been reserved for building the new elementary school. District officials will be meeting with the city of Chandler in the coming weeks to begin assessing the 73-acre high school site for traffic and environmental studies.

Brian Lee was one of many Chandler residents who questioned the school board’s decision to buy the land. (Special to the Tribune)

we’ve really built our communications efforts around digital tools.” For example, Alvarez said, about 50,000 of Gilbert’s 80,000 households are tied in to an app called Nextdoor. Using that and other apps such as Twitter and Instagram, the town will communicate how and why to respond to the census. “Our whole mentality is to meet our residents where they are, and they are online. So the fact that the census is moving online is the perfect thing for us,” Alvarez said. Alvarez said Gilbert will enlist community leaders and homeowners associations in the effort. “We went through the special census a few years ago,” she said. “So we really understand how to reach our community.” Queen Creek also will use social media to engage a community that already is enthusiastic about the coming census. Marnie Schubert, Queen Creek’s director of marketing, communication and recreation, said the town’s “Complete Count” census committee was announced on June 5 and its members will be appearing at community events over the next nine months to spread the word.

“We had a very robust outreach plan for the 2015 mid-decade census,” she said. “In 2010 social media wasn’t even a thing yet. But in 2015 it really was. We’re very fortunate to have a very engaged community, so that very robust plan is going to complement what the Complete Count committee is doing.” Schubert said Queen Creek doesn’t face the same challenges as some other cities when it comes to hard-to-reach populations. In 2015, she said, residents embraced the census and “understood census is important and why a true count matters.” Tempe also has been working on the census for months under auspices of its council-appointed Complete Count committee. “There is so much riding on getting an accurate count of Tempe residents,” Mayor Mark Mitchell said in a statement. “Funding for housing assistance, transportation projects and so much more depends on census results.” The census efforts by local governments are part of a wider effort called #ICount2020 under auspices of the Maricopa Association of Governments.

100,000 fewer residents than Tucson. The city counted just over 439,000 people in 2010 after several years of economic agony – indeed, there were signs that the Great Recession actually reduced the city’s population in the latter half of the century’s first decade. Since then, powered by high-density housing on the west end and large-scale

development to the east, Mesa’s population has zoomed past the half-million mark with a nearly 16 percent growth rate in eight years. Mesa’s population was estimated at 508,958 last July, making it the 35th largest city in the country.

Region is a growing powerhouse even before census BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor

E

ven before the U.S. Census Bureau takes its official count of East Valley residents on April 1, new statistics speak to the region’s growing clout. Recent population estimates suggest, for example, that Mesa is on track to be-

come Arizona’s second-largest city. That title has been held for decades by Tucson. But Tucson posted only a 3.7 percent increase in population between the 2010 census and July 1, 2018, when the latest population estimates came out. That estimate put Tucson’s population at 545,975. Mesa began the decade with almost

see GROWING page 7


THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | JULY 21, 2019

GROWING from page 4

If those rates of growth hold steady, Mesa will sail past Tucson in the population rankings by the mid-2020s. In terms of percentage growth, Queen Creek has been this decade’s regional champion. From an official census count of 26,361 in 2010, Queen Creek grew to an estimated 42,503 in July of last year – a growth rate of 61.2 percent. Even that, however, pales in comparison with the more than 500 percent growth Queen Creek saw between 2000 and 2010. At the turn of the century, the town had only 3,713 residents. Estimates of the town’s buildout population keep growing, and now stand at about 110,000. The growth rates of other East Valley cities also are tapering off – but even at that, the number of new residents since 2010 would make sizable towns in their

own right. According to the 2018 census estimates: Chandler’s population of 257,165 represented a net gain of 21,042, a growth rate of 8.9 percent in eight years. Gilbert added 39,825 residents for a population of 248,279, a 19 percent growth rate. Tempe’s growth rate was almost identical with Gilbert’s. The city, albeit landlocked, has been adding high-density housing in and near its downtown. It grew by 30,645 people between 2010 and 2018, when the population was estimated at 192,364. Apache Junction grew 16.8 percent from 35,723 to 41,739 over the same period. If the populations of Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Tempe were combined, the population of 1.2 million would stand as the 10th-largest city in the country, beating out San Jose, California.

2020 census and you

The U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 2) requires that Americans count themselves every 10 years. The chief purpose of this census is to determine how many members each state may have in the U.S. House of Representatives. The more people a state has, the more clout it has in Washington – and there’s a good chance Arizona will pick up another seat in Congress after its growth from 2010 to 2020 is tabulated. That would give Arizona 10 U.S. representatives. In addition to determining congressional representation, census data also is used to: Distribute more than $700 billion a year to states and communities. Arizona’s share currently is $13.5 billion. Allocate money for job creation, housing, public infrastructure and other resources. Besides the basic data on how many residents America has, the census also builds a statistical portrait with questions about age, ethnicity and other characteristics. While these questions may seem intrusive, the answers by law are confidential and cannot be used against a person by a government agency or court. Preparations for the census will climax in March when virtually every household will receive a postcard. Using a code on the card, you can reply online. The census also will accept answers by phone or by means of a form that can be mailed in. Census officials say it will take about 10 minutes to answer the questions. People who don’t respond will be subject to follow-up efforts that may include having census workers visit their homes. April 1 is the official count date, and replies are due by then.

Fatal shootings keep Chandler police busy SANTAN SUN NEWS STAFF

F

atal motor vehicle accidents and shootings inside homes have kept Chandler Police busy the last few weeks. The latest tragedy involved the July 14 shooting of a woman by her husband in the 3200 block of West Stephens Place. Department spokesman Seth Tyler said police were summoned around 5 a.m. to a home where they found 31-year-old Elshaymaa Elmesilhy unresponsive with a gunshot wound to her chest. She died at the hospital. Elmesilhy’s husband, Mustafa Hussein, 37, was arrested on a charge of seconddegree murder. Tyler reported that the suspect said he shot his wife accidentally as he was unloading his gun. “After the initial shot was fired, Hussein

longevity partly to her cooking. The other part, he joked, is from DNA. “No one else in my family has ever done this,” he said. “Something like this age, I think, is in the DNA molecules somewhere. I credit that. How it got there, I don’t know.” Knight was born in 1912 into a Baptist family in Rochester, New York. His father was always very involved in his childhood, he recalled. “I had a father who was very attentive and very kind. He gave me a lot of time, and I appreciate that,” Knight said. “I have nothing to regret.” In his later years, Knight attended the University of Rochester, where he studied psychology and philosophy – both of which have influenced his approach to life as a religious man, he explained. “Philosophy is a wide field of interest,” he said. “The philosophy of science, in the past, was all materialism – matter is the only thing that exists. But that has changed now, in some ways. There’s more than matter . . . I say, God, of course.” Knight added that philosophy has “continued to be [my] major all [my] life.” Three years after graduating from Rochester in 1934, Knight graduated from the Colgate-Rochester Crozer Divinity School, a theological college affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. He went on to serve two Baptist Churches before transitioning into the Episcopal Church in 1948, when he was ordained at St. Mark’s Church in Clark Mills, New York. “I felt very much at home at it,” the rector explained.

panicked and inadvertently fired another round, which struck the bedroom floor,” Tyler said. “Hussein then called 911 along with Elmesilhy’s sister, who was staying at the residence with the couple and their two young children.” Meanwhile, no charges have been filed in the fatal shooting of a man inside the home of a gated Ocotillo community. Around 8:30 a.m. July 11, police went to a home in the 5500 block of South Four Peaks Place and found 62-year-old Charles Vallow of Texas with two gunshot wounds to his chest. Police say Vallow went to the residence, where his estranged wife lives with their son and her daughter, to pick up his son. While at the home, Vallow and his wife engaged in an argument. Vallow’s brother-in-law was also in the residence. Fearing the argument would

elevate to a physical altercation between Vallow and his estranged wife, the brother-in-law intervened on behalf of his sister. Soon, Vallow and his brother-in-law were in a physical fight, Tyler said. “At one point during the fight, Vallow struck his brother-in-law in the head with a baseball bat,” Tyler reported. “Soon after, Vallow was shot by his brother-inlaw. After he shot Vallow, the brotherin-law called 911 and performed CPR on Vallow until emergency medical personnel arrived on-scene.” Vallow’s wife and her brother – whom police did not identify – were released after questioning and Tyler said the case would be sent to the county attorney for review. Traffic accidents also claimed two lives. One involved a man distracted by his cell phone. On July 8, Michael Robles, 50, of Mesa,

was killed around 7 a.m. near the area of Alma School and Queen Creek roads after his pickup went out of control and crashed into a wall. Chandler police say they believe Robles was not wearing a seat belt and may have been distracted by his phone at the time of the crash. The collision briefly knocked out power to a traffic signal and closed traffic in the area for a while. Finally, police reported the death July 6 of a motorcyclist who had been involved in a crash June 11 on Clubhouse Drive north of Ocotillo Road. Arman Nolcox II, 26, suffered severe injuries when he struck the raised median and crashed. He was not wearing a helmet, and neither impairment nor excessive speed were considered to be factors in the crash.

ward bettering the community, he was expressing himself on paper. An avid tennis player in his youth, Knight developed a knack for poetry back in 1937. Below is a sample from his collection of poems, called “The River of Life.” He wrote it when he was 92.

In 1957, Knight moved across the country to follow an ad in the paper for a rector needed in Arizona. His 20-year tenure at St. Mark’s in Mesa began at the Pepper Street church, which was built in 1909. While the city had only a population of only 26,000 at the time, Knight witnessed growth in both Mesa and the church’s congregation throughout the ’50s. He led St. Mark’s into broader ecumenical relationships with other Mesa churches, expanded its ministries and focused extensively on Christian education for children, teens and young families. When the present church was built in 1981, a designated event space was renamed Knight Hall in the rector’s honor.

While Knight had become a renowned leader within the church from 1957 to 1977, he also gained recognition outside of it. Knight served on the advisory board of the Salvation Army in Arizona and was the president of the Mesa Association of Churches and Mesa Community Council. “I did a lot of things in town. We had a group in Mesa called the Mesa Community Council, which was a group to look into things we might need to be done,” he said. “We’d make suggestions to the city council or do things ourselves, and I headed that for some time.” He was named Mesa Citizen of the Year in 1977. When he wasn’t putting his efforts to-

The river of life is a stream deep and broad, that rises and flows from the temple of God. Life is the river, with life I am one, the river will flow when my own life is done. This much I know. I go with the flow. I was born to the river when my mother gave birth; the flow is nature of all life on earth. I am swept by the current, captured, not free: I belong to the waters that flow to the sea. This much I know. I go with the flow. Life is Gods’ spirit though humanly flawed; The River of life is the life – gift of God. Life’s flowing river ever will be. From the Temple of God and Gods bright crystal sea. This much I know. I go with the flow.

Although he hasn’t written any poems in a while, he allows for the possibility of doing it again. “I haven’t written anything lately, I think maybe that’s done,” he said. “I might surprise myself and come out with one for Christmas. I usually start thinking about my Christmas poems in the summertime. It takes some time.” When asked if thinks writing poetry has helped to keep his mind sharp, he laughed and said, “If it kept my mind sharp, I could still be writing poetry.”

Census data shows Arizona population still young BY MIRANDA FAULKNER Cronkite News

A

rizona continues to be relatively young compared to the rest of the U.S., but it saw one of the nation’s biggest jumps in average age from 2010 to 2018, according to new data from the Census Bureau. The state’s median age grew two years in that period, from 35.9 to 37.9 years, according to the 2018 Population Estimates released by the bureau last week. The national average during the same period rose by one year, from 37.2 to 38.2 years, the report said. Arizona demographers attribute the change to increases in the number of older people moving into the state and younger people moving out, which is leading to a lower birth rate in turn. They say another factor could be the relatively large minority share of the state’s population: The national drop in nonwhite birth rates and the rise in average ages for nonwhites both exceeded those for whites, which could be helping to drive Arizona’s average age up. “The people who migrate in to our state tend to be slightly older than the people who migrate out of our state,” Arizona Demographer Jim Chang said. “The median age of people who move to Arizona is around 33.5 and the people who move out of Arizona to other states are about 30.5, a three-year difference,” he added. From 2010 to 2018, Arizona’s average age increase of two years was the secondlargest in the nation, trailing only Maine, which saw a 2.2-year increase in average age in that time, according to Census data. But while Maine was then, and is now, the oldest state in the nation, Arizona has been climbing up the ranks. The Census report shows that Arizona was the 43rd-youngest state in the nation in 2010, just below Mississippi at 36 years and just above Louisiana at 35.8 years. By 2018, however, Arizona was tied with Indiana as 35th-youngest state in the nation. With people in their prime baby-bearing ages leaving the state, Chang said, there are not as many newborns to counter the older residents moving in. “Throughout the nation, birth rates dropped, but it has dropped more in Arizona than the nation as a whole,” Chang said. “If we don’t have a lot of births, obvi-

ously, those people weigh down our median age.” David Plane, a professor at the University of Arizona School of Geography and Development, said the latest Census numbers show that children under age 5 make up 7.13 percent of the state’s population in 2010. But that fell to 6.08 percent in 2018. People 65 and over rose from 13.8 to 17.54 percent of the state population over the same period, he said. Arizona’s birth rate fell from 13.2 births per 1,000 people in 2010 to 11.2 per 1,000 in 2017, the most recent year for which numbers are available from the Arizona Department of Health Services. The department said the number of births in the state fell from 82,053 in 2010 to 81,664 in 2017. Chang said the rate is down sharply from the peak year of 2007, when a birth rate of 16 per 1,000 residents resulted in 102,687 babies born in the state. Plane said it’s not just overall birth rate that is important to the state’s median age, “but the composition of the population, it’s what percentage are in different categories.” He was quick to note that the declines are particularly sharp in minority groups nationwide. The Census Bureau reported that Hispanics and Native Americans, who account for a large percentage of Arizona’s population, both had a median age increase of 2.2 years. “The white population increased by one (year in average age), but all the other groups have increased by more,” he said Plane, who studies population geography, said younger people are gravitating toward cities such as Seattle, Denver and New York, while those coming here are being drawn by an affordable housing market.

Tumbleweed Park getting new ballfields BY KEVIN REAGAN Tribune Staff Writer

C

handler’s biggest park soon will expand and add new amenities. Construction is scheduled to commence next month on four new sports fields on the western side of Tumbleweed Park, near Germann and McQueen roads. The City Council allocated more than $4 million for the project at its July 11 meeting. Residents responded to a city survey by saying they wanted more fields, so the Community Services Department complied by developing 20 acres west of Hamilton Street. The lighted fields will be completed by next July and will serve a multi-use function for sports clubs in Chandler needing space to practice. Additional parking spaces, bathrooms and sidewalks will accompany the new fields. Mickey Ohland, the city’s park operations manager, said Tumbleweed serves as the regional recreational hub for Chandler and attracts many residents. “Tumbleweed Park is our crown jewel park for the city,” he said. “It’s been designed such to attract and be able to have those large events.”

As the map illustrates, the new ballfields at Tumbleweed Park will be located on a 20-acre tract of land along the western side of the park. (City of Chandler)

parcels of undeveloped land on its northern and southern ends. Ohland said the city doesn’t have any set plans for these sections, but his department will spend the next year examining the needs at all 67 of Chandler’s parks. This strategic master plan will guide city staff in determining which parks need any renovations or additions. The Tumbleweed contracts authorized by the City Council consist of $4 million for construction, $325,000 for management services, and $658,000 for light installations. At a recent council meeting, Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke said he was pleased to see the city utilizing resources to add amenities to Tumbleweed Park. “This is a very exciting piece for our residents to be able to have some new amenities,” the mayor said. Ohland said Tumbleweed has always been a unique attraction in Chandler and the parks department is excited to continue making it more accessible to residents. “We’re very lucky and blessed to live and work in a community such as Chandler where our residents, our elected officials all place a high importance on quality-oflife issues,” Ohland added.

Teacher creating Chandler’s first adult choir BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE TRIBUNE Staff Writer

T

he city is hitting a new high note thanks to the help of Sarah Burke, who founded Chandler’s only adult

choir. After a conversation about the lack of an adult choir started on a Chandler community Facebook page, Burke knew she had to clear her throat and take action. “Everyone was reaching out to me to get this thing off the ground like, ‘Sarah the universe is speaking to you. You have to do this,’ that sort of thing,” Burke said. She was excited when reading the Facebook post, yet Burke’s history in music caused a hiccup in her confidence to start the group. Today, she teaches music at Bright Beginnings in Chandler with confidence and conviction. But years ago in college, self-doubts about her music and teaching ability withheld her from her dreams. As her mother battled Huntington’s Disease while Burke was in high school, she quickly grew attached to her choir teacher, Ms. Patterson.

Members of the new Chandler adult choir include, from left: Top: Sharon Wright, Jenny Bracamonte, Kathleen McLemore, Sarah James, Mark Davis and Kathy Krobe. Bottom: Diana Weaver, Sarah Burke, Barb Dethlefsen and Christina Parker. (Kimberly Carrillo/Staff Photographer)

“Because of my mom’s health she became that maternal figure in my life,” Burke said, adding, “I went to school early, I stayed late, I went to her study hall. We

just sang together because she knew my mom was really sick and that I needed somebody.” Through choir and Patterson, Burke

was able to discover a new passion that was wanted to transform into a career. She went to college to be a music major with no professional experience or knowledge – other than she loved to sing. “It’s what healed me, and I wanted to do that and be that person that could help heal others the way Ms. P helped heal me,” Burke said. “I wanted to have that impact on someone else.” But with classmates more advanced than her, Burke couldn’t help feeling discouraged about her choice of majors. “There are some things your good at, that you’re just born to do, and I couldn’t tell if I was really born for music or if I just liked it a lot. I couldn’t tell if I was reaching,” Burke said. The singer and aspiring teacher hit her breaking point when she was told Patterson had died if breast cancer during her sophomore year of college. “When she passed, I lost my direction and had no confidence in myself. I felt like people deserved to have someone that would make that impact on someone like what she had on me,” Burke said, “so

Rabbi who survived shooting to speak in Mesa TRIBUNE NEWS STAFF

R

abbi Laibel Blotner still remembers the chill that ran up his spine when he heard the news April 27 about the shooting at the Chabad of Poway outside San Diego. Because it was the Sabbath, Blotner, spiritual leader of the Chabad Jewish Center of Mesa, could not use electronic devices or anything else that runs on electricity, but people were coming up to him to tell him the news. He had a personal reason to be concerned about this particular synagogue shooting: It is headed by the father of the man who married Blotner’s daughter. Today, Rabbi Visroel Goldstein – who literally stared down the barrel of a rifle pointed at him by the assailant – has been going around the world speaking about goodness.

And on Aug. 5, he’ll speak at Mesa Arts Center as a guest of Blotner and the Chabad of Mesa. Tickets are $15 and available at 480-644-6500. Information can be obtained at 480-659-7001. “He’s taken a tragedy that a lesser man would have been devastated by and he’s really devoted his life and made it his mission to spread goodness and kindness throughout the entire world,” Blotner said. Before the assailant was subdued, he killed a woman who belonged to the congregation – and who had attended the wedding of Blotner’s daughter to Goldstein’s son, Goldstein, who lost a finger in the shooting, wrote a lengthy essay the following day that was published in the New York Times.

I changed majors and got a degree in PR which I have yet to put to real use.” Years ago, Burke emerged from life as a stay-at-home mom, determined to go back to work. But it wasn’t until Patterson’s daughter reached out to Burke on Facebook that she knew what she wanted to do. The two met up in Scottsdale. Hugs were shared and tears were shed when Patterson’s daughter told Burke, “she was so proud of you. She talked about you every single day, even after you graduated.” “It’s like I needed a hug and a smack at the same time,” Burke laughed. “After that, I knew I needed to go back and do what I wanted all along.”

It began: “Today should have been my funeral.” “In his vile manifesto, the terrorist who shot up my synagogue called my people, the Jewish people, a ‘squalid and parasitic race.’ No. We are a people divinely commanded to bring God’s light into the world,” Goldstein also wrote. “So it is with this country. America is unique in world history. Never before

was a country founded on the ideals that all people are created in God’s image and that all people deserve freedom and liberty. We fought a war to make that promise real. “And I believe we can make it real again. That is what I pledge to do with my borrowed time.” Blotner said Goldstein’s response to the shooting is as inspirational as the message he has been taking to the capitals of the world, as well as the White House.

At the group’s first meet and greet meeting on June 28, shower singers and professionals alike met to discuss the future for the choir. The room was overtaken with emotion when reminiscing about, “how those were my people in high school. Those were my best friends. In college, those were the people I cried and partied with and I have desperately missed that ever since,” Burke said. “Nowadays it’s so hard to maintain and create connections with each other. But it was such a cool, positive, warm, fuzzy

Shortly after the shooting, he said, “I went with a couple of our community members to visit him and he was still shell shocked, but he said that amidst the pain and the terrible events that took place, he saw miracles. “He was face to face with the killer who already killed one member of his community …Now he’s really stood out as an advocate for goodness, kindness. Wherever he speaks, he’s drawing very big crowds.”

When interviewing at Bright Beginnings, Burke was told she needed a bachelor’s degree in an education specialty to be considered for the faculty, but to teach specials, like music, no specific certifications were required. “I told the principal I was absolutely terrified, but I’m very musical and I’m very good with kids. I might not have the knowledge, but no one has the heart that I do,” said Burke. Nine years since her interview, Burke has successfully run the school’s music program, two in-school choirs and an additional third choir that is run outside of the school. Most recently, Burke has added a fourth singing group, Chandler CommUNITY Choir, to her running list of re-

Though the choir will perform a couple of times a year, Burke said the point of the group is to not put pressure on performances and instead enjoy the company of other singers. She added the music selection will be all over the map, and the overall mood of the rehearsals will be “super relaxed.” The first rehearsal will be 7 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 6.

Cryotherapy facility aims to put aches, pain on ice BY LEE SHAPPELL Tribune Contributor

K

evin Freeland opened the door of the chamber and a rush of vapor poured out. It looked like something from the lab in a sci-fi movie. “People are skeptical when they first hear about it,” said Freeland, 55, of Chandler. “Some people are just downright terrified of it.” It’s cryotherapy, a three-minute treatment at 220 to 230 degrees below zero, from the collarbone down, in a liquid-nitrogen-infused chamber. In May, Freeland opened Cryo Tempe, the first cryotherapy facility in the area. As the vapor began to dissipate, into the chamber stepped Judi Achore, 56, of Chandler. This was her third cryotherapy treatment. A recreational tennis player, she has trained with Freeland for years at his Body Focus Fitness & Performance gym. When Achore began discussing cryotherapy with Freeland, she first thought he said minus-20. “I said, ‘No, it’s minus-220,’” Freeland said. “She’s like, ‘What?’” “I wasn’t terrified, but concerned,” Achore said. “But I was curious enough that I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ And I saw somebody do it. I thought that was nothing. It helped a lot to see somebody else and to know that it’s only three minutes.” Freeland, who holds a microbiology degree from the University of Arizona, agrees that it is helpful for potential cryotherapy clients to watch a treatment before trying one. “When you see somebody in there and they’re not screaming in terror or pain, then it’s not that bad,” he said. “When you sit down and go over the benefits of it, most are willing to at least give it a shot. “And a lot of people come in actually looking for it. It’s growing. They’ve heard about it and we’re the only one in this part of town.” Single treatments are $50. Freeland also offers an array of packages and memberships that include multiple treatments. “The frequency that you do this depends on what you are trying to achieve,” he said. A 2017 review of studies on athletes in

the International Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that cryotherapy can be effective in reducing muscle pain, inflammation and cell damage. Research Kevin Freeland, 55, of Chandler, is has also sugowner of Cryo Tempe. ( Lee Shap- gested that pell/Tribune Contributor) athletes may recover more quickly when they use cryotherapy. The skin’s exposure to subzero temperatures triggers the release of antiinflammatory molecules and endorphins and increases oxygen circulation in the bloodstream. Freeland said many of his cryo clients are athletes using the treatment to recover from heavy training. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that cryotherapy is an effective tool for combating anxiety and depression, according to an October 2017 report in Medical News Today. Cold exposure increases levels of norepinephrine in the body, providing an effect similar to that of pharmaceuticals like Wellbutrin and other serotonin reuptake inhibitors often prescribed for depression and anxiety. There is growing evidence that cryotherapy is effective in weight loss because extreme cold temperature forces the body to work harder to burn calories to keep warm. Exposure to extreme cold also can increase circulation and collagen production — rejuvenating skin and reducing wrinkles in the exposed areas. The treatment just penetrates the skin, so the organs stay safe. Cryotherapy is not for everybody. It should be avoided by those with respiratory illness, history of heart attacks, high blood pressure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiovascular disease or arrhythmias, circulatory disorders like peripheral arterial or venous disease (DVT), anemia tumors, history of stroke or cerebral hem-

orrhage, history of seizures, Raynaud’s syndrome, bleeding disorders, acute or chronic kidney disease, metal implants or pacemakers and those younger than 18. Cryotherapy is not yet regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and most medical insurance coverage is not yet onboard with it, either. Freeland researched the cryotherapy equipment on the market, most of which is made in Judi Achore, 56, of Chandler, prepares for her third cryotherapy session at minus-220 Europe. He selected degrees at Cryo Tempe. (Lee Shappell/Tribune Contributor) one of the two manufactured in the U.S., and feet.

What did we do to deserve this bunch? BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

I

n the ongoing uncivil war between President Donald Trump and Democrat Congresswomen like Reps. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, I choose to side with … … neither side. This choice may seem unfashionable in 2019 because we’re all supposed to have picked a squad by now and adorned ourselves in either red #MAGA hats or #ImpeachTrump T-shirts. But I’ve never been much of a joiner. I quit Boy Scouts at age 10 and didn’t pledge a fraternity in college, and I’ve been a registered political independent for the better part of the last 25 years. Plus, I subscribe to the notion that it is indeed possible to judge people by the company they keep. Let me be perfectly clear: In no way, shape or form do any of these combatants

speak for me on the subject of how we might repair what currently ails America. They don’t have my back and I don’t have theirs. Let’s take Trump first, since he’s the president – of the United States, though you’d never know it by his demeanor, word choice or treatment of those who disagree with him. Was Trump’s Twitter attack suggesting that “The Squad” members “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” a racist statement? Of course. It was also abysmally stupid – three of the four targets are Americanborn – and un-American. I mean, we’ve come a long way from the inscription on the Statue of Liberty – “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ...” – to chants of “Send her back” filling the air at Trump’s July 17 rally in North Carolina. So no, Trump doesn’t speak for me. On the other hand, neither do progressive Democrats intent on pushing the coun-

try as far to the socialist left as possible. Contrary to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, I don’t believe we have a “manufactured crisis” at the Mexico-U.S border. And, yes, Rep. Omar has herself wandered into Trump territory, tweeting, “Israel has hypnotized the world. May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” A month ago, I tried watching the Democrat debate, a project that lasted about 30 minutes. Part of my lack of interest had to do with watching 20 people trying to have a conversation, but most of it had to do with moments like Joe Biden discussing wind farms and Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and multiple others nattering on about “free college” and free everything else. While I find Trump’s personality noxious, watching these 20 felt like attending a faculty brunch at the nation’s most politically correct community college. Couple them with the anti-American sentiment of the Squad and no, I won’t be

joining that movement either. Nor am I alone in wanting to be alone. The most recent Gallup poll saw 27 percent of Americans call themselves Democrats and 26 percent identify as Republicans. Meanwhile, 46 percent chose independence of either party. Back in the day, political pundits would have used that number to suggest the path to the White House demanded a moderate tack. Not anymore. Now the goal in advance of the 2020 election is clearly to inflame the base while depressing everyone else. Heading into next year, expect more hate from Trump and more anti-Trump hate and leftward policy shifts from the Democrats. Meanwhile. the rest of us get to stand around wondering if anyone actually cares about solving the problems we face as a nation. I’ve heard it said that countries get the leaders they deserve. If that’s true, I have to wonder what hellish crime America committed to merit this feckless bunch.

communities to serve hundreds of thousands of people in need across the East Valley and eastern Arizona. Last year, United Food Bank distributed more than 22 million pounds of food, providing nearly 15 million meals to Arizonans in need. We believe with the timing and our missions’ alignment we have a unique opportunity to join forces and raise awareness for the 2019 Summer of a Million Meals. The campaign fits perfectly with our connection to people who want to give, and those who need to receive. The goal is just that: Provide 1 million meals to people who otherwise would go hungry. Last year, the program was so successful that United Food Bank was able

to keep the warehouse shelves stocked even after a long, hot summer of giving. That was a major milestone in the food bank’s 35-year history. Here’s why it’s important: One in four kids in our state is at risk of hunger. With school on summer break, millions of children lose access to school meals and go without food. Few children who are eligible for free summer meals participate in the government-supported programs. One in seven seniors in our communities is also at risk of going hungry. The summer heat can make it more difficult to get them to the food they need. With this program we can easily make a difference. At Valley Metro, we deliver more than people, we support healthy communi-

ties by getting people the resources they need to enhance their lives. We are invested and committed to the communities we serve across the Valley. You can help: Text “FEEDAZ” to 41444 or go to AZMillionMeals.org. You can donate until Sept. 2 and help us reach our goal of one million meals during the summer! Though we are distinctly different organizations, we can play an integral part in bringing together communities to deliver the food they so dearly need.

ment, Thurmond said. Richard and Jennifer Andersen have lived in the Phoenix area since 1985, moving from Washington. Jennifer is an elementary school teacher and Richard a land surveyor. As Abby and Mason grew up, their parents assured them that if they stuck with something and gave it 100%, they would find a way to pay for them to make it happen. “Family is something that means a lot to me,” Mason said. “Without my family and my parents, I wouldn’t be here. They are the No. 1 reason I am where I am today.” With Division I athletes, a certain level of competitiveness is expected, and Abby and Mason were two of the most competitive kids that Richard had ever seen, he said. “Losing in general, they hated it,” Richard said. “I don’t think any kid really likes it, but they were the ones that were always crying and didn’t want to talk to anybody after they lost. They are both very competitive.” Mason recalled having a ping-pong table at home and challenging anyone who wanted to face him, including Abby, who wouldn’t back down. Abby said she has tried, but failed, to beat Mason at golf. Likewise, Richard said Mason can’t hit Abby’s best pitches even though “Mason will tell you he can hit it.”

“It’s hard to be competitive sometimes because we play different sports,” Mason said, smiling. “She is an amazing softball player, and I am an amazing golfer. Really, we are just trying to see who can be better at their sport.” If Abby goes out and throws a great game, Mason said, he is happy for her. But then he just wants to handle his own business a little bit better. The Andersen siblings have always been close. And being at the same school with the opportunity to be around each other is irreplaceable, Mason said. “It’s been kind of nice,” he said. “Growing up, a lot of brothers and sisters fight, and brothers and brothers fight, but I have been pretty fortunate to have a sister who is pretty easy to get along with.” They are athletes. They are siblings. They are best friends. “He’s my rock, and without having him I don’t know what I would do,” Abby said.

Jimmy Eat World talks touring the world BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Progress Staff Writer

J

im Adkins is tired of packing. If there’s one reason to go on tour, it’s to stop filling suitcases. “I’m definitely looking forward to the tour,” said Adkins, the namesake behind Jimmy Eat World, about the “Summer Gods Tour.” “I’m – at this point – really looking forward to the tour and when the getting ready for the tour is over.” Jimmy Eat World kicked off its tour with Third Eye Blind in June at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The jaunt comes to Ak-Chin Pavilion on Wednesday, July 31. Akins has one rule for hometown shows. “I turn off my phone three days before,” he said with a laugh. “It’s like hosting your own Christmas party or something. It’s insane. It’s a lot of work and when it’s over, you can’t wait to do it again.” Jimmy Eat World’s last headlining gig was a surprise show on Valentine’s Day at the Rebel Lounge in Phoenix celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Mesa’s own Jimmy Eat World is on a national tour that will go global after the band releases a new album. (Special to the Tribune)

The 300 fans who were able to squeeze into Rebel Lounge – and the line of music lovers who couldn’t get in – only proves

Jimmy Eat World’s longevity. Adkins thinks the band did something right with hits like “The Middle” and “Sweetness.”

“We’ve made realistic goals for ourselves and we keep our focus on what really matters, which is being proud of our own work,” Adkins said. “You can be smart about opportunities that come to you. Nobody really knows what the magic formula is for success. If you’re honest about what you like to do and stick to that, that would be enough. It doesn’t really matter what happens after that.” Jimmy Eat World formed in February 1994 in Mesa with vocalist/guitarist Jim Adkins and drummer Zach Lind, who met while attending Mountain View High School, guitarist/vocalist Tom Linton and bassist Mitch Porter. Jimmy Eat World signed to Capitol Records in mid-1995, when Linton and Adkins were 19 years old. Its major label release, “Static Prevails,” hit stores in 1996. The album “Clarity” soon followed and marked Adkins’ new role as singer/songwriter, which Linton previously handled.

Government of Cebu, they conducted a medical, surgical and dental mission in Carcar City, Cebu, Philippines. They treated more than 10,000 people and donated more than $15 million worth of equipment, supplies and medicines. “I finally understand why my father insisted that we plan this medical mission,” Ho-Vijungco said. “Not only were we touched with the healing hands and hearts of all the missioners, we were overwhelmed by the number of sick people that stood in line for days for medical treatment.”

JIMMY from page 20

The single “Lucky Denver Mint” landed in the Drew Barrymore comedy “Never Been Kissed.” It wasn’t until its July 2001 album, “Jimmy Eat World” (named “Bleed American” before September 11), that it found its hit with “The Middle.” The singles “Sweetness” and “A Praise Chorus” followed. Fast-forward to 2016, when it sent to stores its latest album, “Integrity Blues,” produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore). It spawned the singles “Get Right” and “Sure and Certain,” catapulting the album to the Top 20.

Adkins wouldn’t slip any details about the collection, but, he said, he will soon. “The new album will lead to touring around the world, and many, many award ceremonies, many galas, many championship belts and adoring fans,” said Adkins, who spends time in Arizona hiking and cheering on his sons at their baseball
