Maggie’s story: A teen’s life cut short by suicide BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer
S
kyline High School senior Maggie Jones approached her mother, Adele Jones, in their Mesa home on Labor Day. Something wasn’t right. The teen, with long mocha-brown hair, fair skin and crystal blue eyes, was crying. She told her mom she was feeling depressed. Her mother knew Maggie had been struggling with her mental health for about a year now, but today felt more urgent. “She looked different,” said Adele. “She was crying and wouldn’t let me hug her – she would always at least take a hug.” Adele told Maggie that she would seek out a therapist right away. But Maggie never gave herself the time to receive that care. The girl described by her mother as “a beau-

One tweet read, “i love how nobody cares even when they know how suicidal you are.” Another stated, “this is the hardest thing I have ever [expletive] done… it’s all wrong.” On Sept. 4, she fatally shot herself. She was 17. Maggie’s death was the 36th East Valley teenager lost to suicide since July 2017. Two other teens – a Gilbert boy who was Maggie’s friend and a Mesa boy – took their lives within seven days after her death. Ironically, the suicides occurred within a 10day period that included Gov. Doug Ducey’s Sept. 11 signing of a law requiring all school personnel to receive suicide prevention training starting in the 2020-21 school year. The bill was introduced by state Sen. Sean Bowie of Ahwatukee, whose district includes

She was a sophomore at Seton Catholic High School, one of Chandler’s oldest schools. She found out that somebody had intentionally set the school on fire, destroying much of the property. D’Alessio recalled how devastating the fire was
to the Seton community, yet it later became a testament to the resiliency of the staff and students. “We worked around it, we worked together,” D’Alessio said. The 1980 fire was an important chapter in the history of Seton, which is celebrating its 65th anniversary this school year. It forced Seton’s students and teachers to move to a new campus on Dobson Road, where the school has remained ever since. Now known as

Mesa softens e-scooter regulations for now BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer
L
ong after the initial e-scooter invasion, Mesa is finally starting to regulate the vehicles later this fall, but in a less restrictive and less expensive way than originally planned. When the number of scooters available for rent dropped severely during the summer heat, Mesa officials decided to take a different approach. They wanted to strike a balance between attracting scooter companies and regulating them. Transportation Director RJ Zeder said the number of scooters declined from a high of 2,500 to about 60 earlier this month. He proposed an even sharper reduction in the annual licensing fee paid by companies from $5,000 a year to $100 a year. The $5,000 fee was in line with licensing fees each company had to pay to operate in Tempe and Phoenix, but the original proposal never was enacted as Zeder sought more feedback from the companies. Zeder said the drop in the number of scooters probably reflected a combination of summer heat and the appetite for them in Mesa. “Six hundred in a city is small. We’re seeing thousands in surrounding communities,’’ Zeder said. Earlier this year, when the number of scooters swelled, “I think the companies were trying to get their brand seen,’’ he said. A presentation to the city council said that Lyft stages about 150 scooters a day in Mesa; Bird stages 50; Lime 350; and Spin 50. City Manager Chris Brady said the city doesn’t want to impose such a high fee that it would deter companies from operating in Mesa. He said the scooters are helpful to some people mainly traveling to the light rail, or from the light rail to another location,
such as Sloan Park or Riverview Park. Zeder said he proposed the low license fee because the scooters haven’t taken up much of his staff’s time and he would like to consider the scooter ordinance a year-long pilot project to see how it works out. But Vice Mayor Mark Freeman and councilmember Jen Duff objected, saying the proposed fee was too low. “I would like to see the administrative fee increased to compensate for rental companies won’t have to pay nearly as much for their annual the staff time we spend on E-scooter licenses in Mesa as they do in Tempe and Scottsdale.

The long-sought Arizona State University campus will be devoted exclusively to students pursuing careers in “transdisciplinary digital expertise” such as virtual reality. And it seems like a safe bet the controversial, yet much anticipated facility likely will wake up historically sleepy downtown Mesa and inject life into the area – a
goal set by Mayor John Giles and several city council members. But other issues remain unsettled as the three-story, 65-foot tall, 110,000 square foot building heads toward the first steps of construction early next year – including what it ultimately will look like, the final price tag and what will happen to some wavy concrete canopies that have jutted off the back of a city building for decades.

Gila River community wary of I-10 widening BY KEVIN REAGAN Tribune Staff Writer
S
everio Kyyitan was awoken one recent morning by a thunderous thumping that reverberated through the walls of his home. It might be an earthquake, he thought, until he looked outside and discovered a pack of wild horses running by his property on the Gila River Indian Community. Animals have free reign on the reservation, he said, and that’s the way Kyyitan likes it. He’s hopeful state officials will keep wildlife in mind as they plan a possible widening of Interstate 10 through the reservation. “We know it’s a need,” Kyyitan said, adding that he doesn’t want the project to interfere with nature. The tribe has been working with the Arizona Department of Transportation to study the feasibility of adding another lane in each direction to a 26-mile stretch I-10 from Chandler to Casa Grande that the state has dubbed the Wild Horse Pass Corridor. This portion of the freeway – the only spot on the interstate that has four lanes instead of six – runs almost entirely along tribal land, meaning the state will have to negotiate an agreement before construction can commence. But ADOT said widening is essential, particularly because I-10 is a “key commercial corridor that supports significant commercial and economic growth for the region, the state and the nation.” During a recent public meeting sponsored by ADOT and the Maricopa Association of Governments in Sacaton, tribal members expressed support for improving the freeway in order to relieve traffic congestion. But some worry about whether enough tribal members know of the project while others have concerns of its longterm effects. For a resident like Kyyitan, who has spent most of his life on the reservation, there are concerns about how the immediate environment could be impacted by a bigger freeway. Central Arizona is already prone to dangerous dust storms, so he would like to see ADOT consult some weather experts. The Gila River Indian Community has not always been welcoming in the past to Arizona encroaching on its land in order to extend freeways. The tribe attempted to stop the state
from building its South Mountain Freeway by filing a lawsuit, claiming the project would cut through sacred land – namely South Mountain will need the help of the Gila River Indian Community to widen – and it jeop- ADOT the 26-mile Wild Horse Pass Corridor on I-10 between Chandler and Casa ardized water Grande.

According to ADOT, it takes about 34 minutes to drive from Casa Grande to Chandler on the freeway. That time is projected to grow to 42 minutes by 2040 if I-10 remains unchanged. Thompson said she appreciates how ADOT is taking its time to work with the tribe and figure out a plan. “I like the fact they’re not rushing into it and wasting money,” Thompson said. “They’re gonna take the time to study it.” In addition to expanding I-10, the state is studying whether it should replace a bridge on the interstate that crosses over the Gila River. The bridge was built in 1964 and has endured years of flooding and traffic jams. Its functional lifespan is expected to run out within the next decade or so. Clement Harvey, another tribal member, said he doesn’t have any problems with improving the bridge or freeway. He regularly drives over the bridge to get to Phoenix and thinks its narrowness is a safety hazard for the community. “There’s barely enough room for two semis to go side-by-side,” Harvey said. “I’ve seen it done, but I don’t want to be in that area when something happens.” Residents still have the opportunity to provide input on the freeway by emailing or calling ADOT. Comments submitted by Oct. 3 will be included in its freeway study. Information/commenting: 10wildhorsepasscorridor.com

Former Mesa prosecutor seeks county attorney post BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer
F
ormer Mesa City Prosecutor Jon Eliason – who championed an effort to test a backlog of untested rape kits – is one of eight candidates seeking to fill the remainder of former Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery’s term. Montgomery was recently appointed to the Arizona Supreme Court by Gov. Doug Ducey, creating an opening that will be filled by an election in 2020. Eliason has extensive experience in several different facets of the criminal justice system and is the only candidate from the East Valley, but he also faces a strong field of candidates for the interim post. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will decide on a replacement after a seven-member committee was appointed by the board reviews the applicants and makes a recommendation by Oct. 1. Eliason’s challengers include Rachel Mitchell, a longtime sex crimes prosecutor who was handpicked by Montgomery to serve as his chief deputy and to run the office until the board selects a replacement to serve out his term. Mitchell was thrust into the national spotlight last year when she was chosen

Despite some concerns that the future landmark doesn’t look like one so far, the project’s site plan won a 4-1 vote for approval last week from Mesa’s Planning and Zoning Commission. The vote serves as a recommendation for approval by Mesa City Council, which has final authority. But the next step is scheduled for Oct. 8, when more detailed renderings are expected to be presented before Mesa’s Design Review Board, another advisory panel that focuses on issues such as architecture and landscaping. In an exclusive interview with the Tribune, Chaitlow detailed the stunning architectural goals he, Jacobs and their team are working to achieve. There’s not only nothing like this around here.

necessary site for deliveries and garbage collection. The architects promised a good neighbor program to minimize disturbing neighbors of a nearby apartment complex. “It will be like a studio back lot. It will engage the community,’’ Chaitow said. “We want to make it playful and interesting.’’ Jacobs said the architects have been working mainly on accommodating the unique studios. She said it’s important for studios to be on the ground floor, so that large props, such as cars, can be easily installed and removed. Acoustics and vibration also are important considerations. In theory, “we can have three movie premieres at once,’’ Jacobs said, with the movies shown on the Jumbotron – similar to those in professional sports arenas – while people hang out in the plaza. There also will be two theaters, one seating 250, as well as a cafe and, of course, classrooms. “We have spent a lot of time on the inside so far,’’ Jacobs said, when board member Tim Boyle criticized the exterior appearance as lacking a “wow factor’’ that is necessary for a landmark project. “It’s uncooked so far,’’ Jacobs said, referring to the exterior. “We feel good about making the pieces click and fit.’’

All candidates must be registered Republicans to qualify because Montgomery is a Republican. Eliason served as Mesa City Prosecutor from 2012 to 2014, in between two different stints at the County Attorney’s Office. He supervised the County Attorney’s pretrial unit in Mesa and later supervised two critical units in Phoenix: the Special Victims Division and the Major Offenders Division. The pre-trial unit reviews police reports on felony cases to determine if there was sufficient evidence to file criminal charges. It also handled cases in eight county justice courts. While Eliason has a broad background in criminal law, he has focused much of his career on domestic violence and sex crimes. He also played an important role in the
City council member Jen Duff, who represents downtown, said she is confident the design team will produce a building that will make Mesa proud. “I think we will be very impressed,’’ Duff said. “I’m very excited about it. I think it will set the tone.’’ She said that many people are curious about the building and what it will look like, but eventually, “I think the other cities will have this Mesa-envy thing.’’ Jeff McVay, Mesa’s downtown transformation manager, said five stories originally were planned, but it became clear early in the design stage that tall studios were required and there was no need for the upper floors. He said the building will be slightly shorter at 65 feet tall and slightly smaller at 110,000 square feet, but that it still will be very large. He said that some of the studios have 45 feet of clear space. “It’s driven by the programming’’ instead of cost, McVay said about the alterations in the building. “It’s a high-rise laying on its side.’’ If the completed building was vertical instead of horizontal, it would be the equivalent of a six-story tall building, he said. No matter what changes are made in the

In some cases, Eliason worked on the same projects as Mitchell, including the years-long effort using grants from other agencies to test rape kits, which collect DNA and other evidence vital in the prosecution of sexual assault. The project brought justice to women who had been assaulted years ago and had long given up hope that their attacker would ever face charges. The interim candidates all said on their application forms that they are willing to run for a full term in 2020 if they are selected as interim county attorney. Mitchell said that she is planning to run for county attorney whether she is selected as interim or not. Godbehere, who heads the County Attorney’s west region operations, said on her application form that she has been organizing an election campaign.

building’s design, the city’s cost is capped at $63.5 million, McVay said, but the ASU’s share will be more than the $10 million originally envisioned. Opponents objected to the city granting ASU a subsidized lease to bring the campus downtown and to increase the area’s vitality. ASU received a 99-year lease at $100,000, committing to a $10 million investment in furnishings and $1.3 million a year for operation and maintenance. “It’s going to be well above that,’’ McVay said. The city is acting as the developer, and the city will own the building and the land. The first phase of construction is scheduled for February 2020, with an opening planned for spring 2022. The five-acre site is the parking lot behind the council’s chambers, south of First Street, east of Center Street, west of Centennial and north of City Hall.

SETON from page 1
Seton Catholic Preparatory, the school has continued to grow over the years, adding new facilities and expanding its number of pupils. “We look forward to our growth over the next 10 years,” said Principal Victor Serna. “Seton is going to make significant improvements to our campus and secure our future for generations to come.” Seton will be commemorating its anniversary with various celebrations throughout this school year, acknowledging the history that gave the school its foundation. The school was originally the brainchild of Father Joseph Patterson, who was considered an important figure in Chandler’s Hispanic community. He was once called “Chandler’s Father Flanagan,” a reference to Edward Flanagan, the priest who founded an orphanage in Nebraska known as Boys Town. A Texas native, Patterson moved to Arizona with his family in 1918 and enlisted in the U.S. Army before deciding to enroll in a seminary. He came to Chandler in the 1930s and noticed Hispanic children were not advancing far in public schools. “In Chandler, the kids had a terrible time getting past the third grade and only four or five would even get to high school,” Patterson told a newspaper in 1985. Schools were still segregated at this time and Hispanic students had to attend Winn School on Saragosa Street. Former students later reported being punished severely at Winn for speaking Spanish during class. Patterson sought to create a more welcoming educational environment. He started by offering summer classes and renovated his church’s basement to serve as a recreation center for local children. In 1944, Patterson helped build a new elementary school on Chandler Boulevard that could serve 120 pupils. As the students got older, Patterson realized there was a need to build a high school that could accommodate them. He opened Seton High School in 1954 and named it after Elizabeth Seton, the first American-born woman canonized by the Catholic Church. When his schools first opened, Patterson noted that about 95 percent of students were Hispanic. The handful of Caucasian students only lasted a day, Patterson recalled. The demographics changed over time as more students from around the East Valley began enrolling at Seton. Patterson left the school in 1958 after he suffered a

stroke and later established a scholarship fund for future students. Patterson’s former students spoke fondly of him and appreciated his ability to create a community for them in Chandler. “There’s never been another like him. He’s a living saint,” said Lupe Robles, a Seton graduate, shortly before Patterson’s death. Seton’s future was upended on Sept. 12, 1980 when three people started a fire on the school’s campus and caused about $800,000 worth of damage. Students and parents worked together to salvage whatever lab equipment and textbooks they could find in the rubble. The staff managed to retrieve a cross that had withered through the fire’s destruction mostly unscathed. They later put it up in the front office of Seton’s new campus, where it remains to this day. “We’ve always thought of that as our Phoenix rising out of the flames,” said Pat Collins, one of Seton’s former principals. Seton has grown and changed over the years, Collins said, but the school still encourages students to adopt the values of public service that were important to Patterson. “They’re always carrying out his mission,” Collins said. Students make visits to local food banks, assisted-living homes and the ArizonaMexico border to help the Kino Border Initiative, an organization that provides humanitarian aid to migrants. Many students have continued giving
back to their communities into adulthood. Dr. Michelle Doroz, who graduated in 1992, has volunteered her medical services to patients in Peru and India. Erin Bellefeuille, a graduate of the class of 2002, has gone on missionary trips to Haiti and Mexico. Other graduates have served their community by being elected to public office. Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs graduated from Seton in 1988 and said she had a positive experience attending the small school. “It really felt like a family,” Hobbs said. “You really had a chance to get to know the people that you went to school with.” Hobbs, who served several terms in the Arizona Legislature before she was elected to statewide office in 2018, said her Seton teachers encouraged her to exam-
ine things through different perspectives — like how to find modern relevancy in old works of classic literature. Some graduates enjoyed their Seton experience so much they come back to teach. Stephen Ryan graduated in 2012 and always appreciated Seton’s communal atmosphere. He decided to return a couple years ago to teach science. “I did really want to come back here,” Ryan said. For Lisa D’Alessio, who graduated in 1983 and now lives in California, Seton became a second home for her during adolescence and remains a fond memory. “There was always that sense of community that was hard to replace,” she said. “That feeling of community became very important to me.”

MAGGIE from page 1
parts of Tempe, Chandler and Mesa, in direct response to the rash of teen suicides in the region. Bowie won support of two Chandler legislators, Sen. J.D. Mesnard and Rep Jeff Weninger, to win unanimous approval of the measure in the Legislature; Weninger’s teenage son had a friend who also had taken his life. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, one person dies by suicide in Arizona every seven hours. Suicide is also the second leading cause of death for ages 15 to 34. “Every single one of those individuals needed help and we need to respond to any suicide with a response that creates the conditions under which all individuals recognize they are not alone,” said Aaron Krasnow, Arizona State University associate vice president of health and counseling services. “They are not a burden to others, their pain is manageable, he said. “They can be supported and there are choices available to them.” Krasnow also said it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact reason for the teen suicide crisis. The suicide prevention foundation says there is no single cause, but that feelings of hopelessness and despair can eventually prompt a person to take their life. During the days leading up to Maggie’s senior year, her mother recalled, the teen frequently talked about how she didn’t want to move out. Maggie lived alone with her parents while the rest of her seven older siblings live out of state. “She wanted to live with us forever,” said Adele. “She would always talk about how apartments are so expensive, so I don’t know if getting closer to knowing that was coming had anything to do with it.” Born in Indiana, Maggie moved to Arizona with her parents when she was 5. She loved traveling and talked of becoming a flight attendant one day. “She was such a happy girl,” said Adele. “She loved to go to California to see our friends and she got to do so much and she saw so much – she loved to travel.” In 9th and 10th grade, Maggie pursued her passion for the arts, participating in Skyline’s stained-glass classes. When she wasn’t in school, she worked as a trainer at Peter Piper Pizza. Adele, who did not have access to Maggie’s social media accounts, said she never saw the warning signs. “She told us she was depressed at times,” said Adele. “But I think people like myself, that don’t suffer from depression, don’t realize how it can take over and how
Although she liked to travel, Maggie also told her mother how she never wanted to move out of her parents’ Mesa home. (Special to the Tribune)
deep.” “I don’t understand it, but it’s real,” she added. Looking back, Adele said she wishes she had been given more information from the school about what to look out for and how to handle the signs.
But both teens described Maggie as a bubbly person that everyone wanted to be around. “She was the greatest person,” said Anissa. “She was always energetic and she was a light in people’s world -- no matter what was going on in her life. “She was always there for you,” she added. When it came to confronting Maggie’s tweets, Anissa and Emily faced a common dilemma. They explained suicidal posts have become commonplace on social media, and that it’s hard to tell when someone is being serious. “A lot of people will do something by accident and be like, ‘oh, kill me,’ or even in texts they’ll say ‘KMS’ for ‘kill myself,” said Anissa. “It’s just a cultural thing, honestly I can’t say why, it’s just how our generation is growing up.” Then came the fear of
“snitching.” Depression, especially when undiagnosed, is the most common condition associated with suicide. While Krasnow said he doesn’t necessarily believe that today’s teenagers are experiencing more trying emotions than
“ If I can get the message out and it saves at least one child, then we did good.
”
- Adele Jones, Maggies mother One of the biggest indicators, says the Association for Suicide Prevention, is a change in behavior, especially when related to a painful event, loss or change. Other warning signs include increased use of alcohol or drugs, isolating from family and friends, sleeping too much or too little, fatigue and aggression, among other things. Several of Maggie’s friends said she often showed up at school crying -- but would “snap out of it” when the bell rang. “She would show up to school upset and would go to class crying,” said Skyline senior Emily McDonald. “But immediately she would stop when class started.” Anissa Guerra, another close friend, recalled similar situations.
in the past, the presence of social media has complicated many teens’ lives. “Social media has the incredible power to connect people at a distance, and that can have enormously positive impacts for some people,” he said. “The converse of that is it can create an echo chamber in which certain thoughts or feelings are only reflected back as confirmed or disconfirmed.” “I’m not in the camp to blame it for this [suicide],” he continued. “But I’m also not going to let it off the hook.” Katey McPherson, a Chandler education consultant and suicide prevention activist who has been monitoring teen suicides in the East Valley for the past few years, agreed with Krasnow and said the cluster
of suicides in the region could be stemming from a myriad of factors. “We’ve got deterioration of the family unit and we have academic rigor that’s being pushed starting in the fourth grade – there’s a lot of academic pressure that kids have now,” she previously told the Tribune. “I think social media is a piece, but it’s not the only piece.” Krasnow explained that many teens fear jeopardizing their friendships by telling an adult. “The commentary is about not trusting adults to respond in a way that is supportive,” he said. “That would not lead to minimizing, or over-responding to. those signals from the teens.” “We are the adults, it’s not their responsibility to have to navigate all of that,” he continued, adding: “We need to give them evidence and be constantly talking to them about ‘if you see this, I want you to tell me,’ and don’t just stop there. Also say, ‘here is what I’ll do and here is how I’ll involve you -- what do you think about that?’ make it a conversation.” This is exactly what Mesa Public School is trying to achieve. The district is doubling down on its mental health efforts for not only this coming school year, but years to come. “Mesa has been working on informing peers about recognizing the signs of suicide and taking every sign as a serious sign,” said Michael Garcia, MPS director of opportunity and achievement. “We have to be careful about this too, because we don’t want them to feel responsible for these suicides,” he stressed. The Mesa district is forming “peer prevention clubs” to raise awareness about mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding it. It is also training students how to recognize the signs and put that information into the hands of an adult, he continued. Since incorporating the clubs a few years ago, the district has seen a rise in students reporting suicidal tendencies in some classmates, Garcia said. Adele said that she hopes Maggie’s story will help raise awareness and increase resources for struggling teens. “If I can get the message out and it saves at least one child, then we did good,” said the grieving mother. Adults struggling with suicidal thoughts or who know anyone who might be can call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Teens can also call Teen Lifeline at 602-248-8336.

2 EV men arrested with black market vape gear TRIBUNE NEWS STAFF
T
wo East Valley men are facing numerous felony charges for allegedly selling THC-filled vapor cartridges on the black market. Hyder Ahmed, 30, of Chandler, and Charles Perry, 29, of Gilbert, were taken into custody on Sept. 20 after the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office executed search warrants at their respective residences. Between the two suspects, investigators claim to have found more than 600 illegal vaping cartridges, seven pounds of marijuana, cash and weapons. Undercover detectives made purchases from Ahmed and Perry through Weedmaps, an online directory of merchants selling cannabis products. THC is the illegal intoxicant in marijuana. The website’s been criticized for allowing unlicensed sellers to advertise on its page, giving a platform for potential criminals to sell unregulated products that

could be harmful to consumers. Weedmaps announced in August it was going to stop unlicensed merchants from using its website. But the vaping black market extends beyond just one website, as dealers across the country use social media sites to pitch their products and law enforcement is rushing to track them down. “Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office detectives continue to deliver outstanding results in their efforts to suppress the illegal distribution of illicit drugs concealed in ‘Ecartridges,’” Sheriff Paul Penzone said in a news release. The Sheriff’s Office SWAT team got into a scuffle with Perry at his Gilbert residence, located near Baseline and Cooper roads, and somebody firing shots toward officers. MCSO said no one was injured and Perry eventually exited the Gilbert home. Perry allegedly admitted to taking part in an illegal drug trade, according to MCSO, and Ahmed declined to speak with

investigators. Both suspects have been booked on charges of conspiracy, illegally controlling an enterprise, drug possession, and money laundering. Perry’s also facesseveral counts of aggravated assault. This last month, MCSO arrested two other men in north Phoenix for allegedly manufacturing a type of vapor cartridge that’s known to have harmful side effects. Vaping has been the subject of recent scrutiny after the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services announced at least six people in the state may have gotten sick from using the devices. Experts recommend buying THCcartridges from a licensed dispensary because consumers are less likely to be exposed to the chemicals and pesticides found in black-market cartridges. A 21-year-old Gilbert man told the East Valley Tribune earlier this month he believed his vaping habit put him in the hospital with pneumonia in both his lungs.
“This is really the anchor and the energy for the innovation district,’’ he said. With the plaza connecting the project to the Metro light rail and downtown, “you are not going to feel like you are on an ASU

“We are focused on protecting the young adults in our community,” Penzone added in his statement. “We will not tolerate criminal activity targeting adolescence for profit and at the expense of health.” Despite the Sheriff’s Office recent slew of arrests, other agencies like the Gilbert Police Department said it had not had any cases of black-market vapor salesman. Even in states where cannabis products are legal, like California, authorities are having to track bootleg cartridges that are being sold on the market at cheaper prices. The United Cannabis Business Association, a trade group representing licensed marijuana dispensaries, recently penned a letter that demanded government regulators crackdown on sites like Weedmaps. “Every day that Weedmaps continues to advertise for unlicensed retailers they are putting consumers at risk and suppressing the growth and very existence of the legal market,” the letter said.

Chandler designer ready for Phoenix Fashion Week BY KATIE SAWYER Tribune Contributor
W
hen it came to clothing, Nicole Willis was a willful child. She knew exactly what she wanted, and what she didn’t want — she knew for certain she did not want to sew. “My grandmother wanted me to learn to sew. She would make my clothes for me and I just wanted absolutely nothing to do with it,” Willis laughed. “I fought her tooth and nail.” The irony is clear to her now, as the Chandler clothing designer prepares to make her debut at the Phoenix Fashion Week next month with her clothing line, Astrid Underground, Oct. 3-5. Willis joined 10 other fashionistas competing for the title of Designer of the Year 2019 in an intensive “boot camp” to prepare for the show. They aren’t only competing for glory; there’s also $10,000 on the line for the winner. Some days, they spend upwards of eight hours in classes preparing for the show. There are designs to perfect, models to
done in four months,” Willis explained. “So, we have to look at books, we have to do line sheets, we have to do marketing, we have to do manufacturing, pattern making — everything. I’m doing it all, every step of the way.” Willis described the average design team as including 10-12 people, but she said she’s a “one-man show.” “I wake up at 7 in the morning every morning and I usually don’t get into bed until about midnight, so hopefully it’ll all pay off,” she said. The boot camp focuses on branding and how to be at the Chandler clothing designer Nicole Willis is flanked by models wearing, forefront of people’s minds. as she is, some of her steampunk outfits that she’ll be displaying bat the “You’ve got to get your Phoenix Fashion Week shows next month.

Whether it’s on Facebook, Instagram, to spare. “If you think about a designer, and how pop up shops, trade shows — whatever long it takes them to create a collection, it is, you’ve got to get yourself out there, they usually take a year. I’m getting this because if they’re not looking at you, then
they’re not thinking about you,” she said. Willis believes she has a creative edge that sets her apart from the other designers. “My style is completely unique to anybody else that’s competing and I think that I’m going to appeal to the crowd that doesn’t necessarily always �it in.” Though she’s earned con�idence in the �ield, Willis wasn’t always sure of her chosen path. “I was an addict for 10 years and when I �inally got clean, I had no passion for anything,” she said. “I didn’t really have a focus. So, I tried to �igure out where my focus was going to be.” With her family’s support, she tried her hand at cooking at Scottsdale’s Le Cordon Bleu, but it didn’t go exactly as planned. “I decided that I absolutely hate cooking. I do. It’s atrocious,” she laughed. She and her husband William Willis began opening recovery homes. They now own and operate seven One Direction AZ facilities in the Valley to help individuals who are homeless, addicted or leaving prison.
Chandler family turns tragedy into philanthropy BY KEVIN REAGAN Tribune Staff Writer
A
couple of months after a Chandler boy lost his battle to a rare type of cancer, his family has started a foundation to support other children suffering from life-threatening diseases. Kameron Sherman spent two years undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments in an attempt to �ight rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that forms in soft muscle tissue. There was hope Sherman might defeat the disease, as cancer receded in early 2018. But then doctors noticed it reappeared again a short time later. The 11-year-old eventually succumbed to the illness on July 15. The Shermans now want to support the same programs that helped the family persevere through two years of hospital
visits and intrusive treatments. “We want to do something so that Kameron’s memory continues,” said Jennifer Lyle, a close friend of Sherman’s family. They launched Kameron’s Krusaders this month to raise funds that will support the dog-therapy program at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Specially-trained dogs are brought to the hospital to get kids to forget about their illness and motivate them to move around or interact with others. Dogs were a great comfort for Kameron during his cancer treatment, Lyle said. She recalled visiting the Shermans in the hospital once and observed Kameron’s reaction when volunteers brought in a therapy dog. “You could just see that the word ‘cancer’ was not in his brain at that point,” Lyle said. The family will be collecting tax-de-

Willis eventually landed at Mesa Community College – and found what she was looking for. “I had never stitched in my life, so I went through all the sewing classes plus design classes, draping, pattern making, they have it all. You can even learn to tie- dye in there,” she said. One professor, Lori Laing, was especially helpful to Willis when she was �inding her style at MCC. “I’d be in there and she’d be looking around at all the other girls stuff. She’d go ‘Oh that’s pretty.’ ‘Oh, that looks great.’ ‘That’s fantastic. Ooh.’ And then she’d come over and she’d look at mine and she goes, ‘Huh, that’s interesting,’” Willis said. Willis said her style has never been one to conform to the fashion norms. As a young adult, she expressed herself through her clothing, often taking inspiration from steampunk and Gothic styles of clothing. “I was the girl who went out and dressed in black and corsets and chains and spikes,” she said. Steampunk is a mixture of industrial and Victorian pieces, which form a cohesive style somewhere between sleek corsets and metal goggles.
You won’t �ind the ruf�les commonly found on Victorian clothing in Willis’ designs, however, as she also integrates the Gothic and emo culture of the 2000s to form a mash-up unlike any other. “I don’t do a lot of ruf�les. I don’t do a lot of pleats. I do unusual shapes and textures,” she explained. “(Lori) just allowed me to be as creative as I wanted to be without letting me know that what I was doing was wrong. Because, I mean, it wasn’t necessarily wrong. It was just different.”
You’ve got to get your name out there. “ So, in order to do that, you’ve got to be in people’s faces.
Whether it’s on Facebook, Instagram, pop up shops, trade shows — whatever it is, you’ve got to get yourself out there, because if they’re not looking at you, then they’re not thinking about you. – Nicole Willis
”
Corsets are an integral part of her fashion line, and lining the inside of the one-ofa-kind corsets is 100 percent cotton Batik material, which holds a special meaning to Willis as they were given to her by her grandmother. “When she passed away, I inherited all of her stashes. She was a big quilter,” Willis said. “So, I decided to put all of those fab-

designs during a pop-up event at Moxy Tempe. She also sold a few of her pieces to attendees. “I was really kind of surprised the underbust are more popular than the heartshaped ones I have because everybody tells me how much they love that design,” she said. “But as long as they’re selling, I don’t care. I was pretty excited.”
She’s also tapping into the rave movement, as there’s been a big uptick in the kinds of fashion worn at raves and festivals like Burning Man. She describes both her personal style and fashion line as “the rave, steampunk, Gothic, underground type.” “I like to say that my girl is going to be a girl who is a geek by day, goth by night,” she said. Willis believes the subgenre of steampunk is only continuing to grow, and many women identify with the feeling of being unique and different from what’s normally on a runway. “The industrial movement has really kind of picked up steam – pardon the pun – but it’s still very underground,” Willis said. “My client will spend just a little bit extra to make sure she gets that exact right piece to complete any out�it.” It’s not always easy being an outlier in her design boot camp, however. “There are a couple of high-end designers and they make me question what I’m doing if it’s good enough,” she said. “but I need to get out of that habit of trying to compare myself to others, because my brand is not like any other brand that’s competing.” Information: astridunderground.com or her instagram @astridunderground.

Throughout Sherman’s treatment, the Chandler community rallied together to support the family. Thousands of dollars were raised to pay off medical bills, neighbors greeted the Shermans after returning from the hospital, and teachers volunteered to home-school Kameron. The Chandler Fire Department even made Kameron an honorary �ire�ighter, suiting him up in a helmet and jacket and letting him tour the �ire station. Lyle said more than 500 people turned up for Kameron’s memorial service. “The family is so grateful for everything the community has done,” Lyle added, “and it’s really helped them not feel alone and understand how loved they are.” The family is still reviewing what other types of services they want their foundation to support. Their main objective, Lyle said, will be to supplement programs that make hospitals a little less scary for kids. “We’re excited that we can turn something that was bad into something really good,” she added.

Eastmark area seeing more major development BY MIKENNA YARMUS-GANNON Tribune Staff Writer
A
fter sitting on a patch of empty land in east Mesa for almost a decade, Rick Richmond decided it was time to start building. So this month he broke ground for the second phase of Crismon Gateway Village on 25.5 acres of land near Power and Crismon roads. The development is set to include retail and office space, in addition to 128 units of multifamily housing with individual suite patios— all expected to be completed by late 2021. And it is taking advantage of its proximity not only to rapidly growing Eastmark but also to Mesa’s Technology Corridor. The first phase of the Crismon Gateway Village began in 2017 and included retail space currently occupied by Black Rock Coffee, Bella Nail Bar, Filiberto’s, Radius Fitness, and Doc’s Artisan Ice Cream.

towards a younger audience but also serves as a place to relax, according to Nollenberger. Every retail space has roll-up garage doors and a splash pad will be added in front of one of the restaurants to serve as a family-friendly gathering area. “It’s just the natural solution for a gathering spot for young families that are looking for entertainment and community,” said SVN spokeswoman Melissa Swader, adding: “It’s a unique opportunity for dining and entertainment. It really incorporates so many different types of retail and restaurant that is, it’s a place for everyone.” Meanwhile, the neighborhood near Crismon Gateway Village continues to get more economic growth, Marwest Enterprises recently announced it is building Landing 202, a 605,000-square-foot Class A industrial building on about 45 acres just south of

– “not the over-the-counter stuff that really isn’t that strong” – and his business was born. “We carry the exact same products the professional pest control companies should be bringing on their trucks,” said son Joe LaBrie, director of retail operations. “There are about 150-200 products in the store essentially to answer the call for, ‘how do I get rid of this pest?’ or ‘how do I control this weed that is growing?’” he added. Unlike big-box retailers, Bug & Weed Mart personnel teach customers how to use their products and write out the directions. That’s where Jim’s English background has been beneficial. “The thing that I noticed instantly is that you just can’t take a product, read the label and use it correctly in many cases,” said Jim. “There are many, many subtleties that don’t show up on the label.

Family-owned EV chain aims to pester pests BY MELODY BIRKETT Tribune Contributor
H
ow do you go from teaching English to devoting your career to eradicating bugs and weeds? In Jim LaBrie’s case, pure necessity made him do it. And today, 40 years later, LaBrie runs Bug & Weed Mart, a DIY pest control retail chain, with his son Joe and daughter Cara. From his first store in Mesa, LaBrie grew his business into a retail mini-giant in the East Valley after opening his sixth store. The company now has stores in Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert and Central Phoenix. It all started when LaBrie was teaching English, making $600 a month “and we had bugs,” he recalled. “I couldn’t afford a pest controller. So, I went to a hardware store and bought some stuff and it really didn’t do anything. And I thought there had to be a better way,” he said. So he set out to find sure-kill products

Loop 202 and west of Hawes Road on the north side of Ray Road. “These brand-new buildings are in the heart of the Gateway area and close to multiple freeways; an awesome location for a wide range of businesses,” Mayor John Giles said. “It’s exciting to watch southeast Mesa maintain its momentum as a thriving economic engine for the entire city.” The development is zoned light-industrial and will start with two buildings, one almost 500,000 square feet and the other close to 120,000m with 565 parking spaces. Marwest expects the buildings to be completed by mid-2020. “Ray Road has been a hotbed for development over the past several years,” District 6 Councilman Kevin Thompson said. “Landing 202 will provide even more Class A industrial space for businesses looking to relocate or expand to the Gateway Area, which has become an employment corridor for the region.” To ensure expansion continues, the city last week announced CenturyLink will expand network infrastructure in the Gateway area by expanding its footprint by more than 90 route miles of fiber.
“The expansion of CenturyLink’s fiber in the Gateway area will help drive the future of Mesa’s Elliott Road Technology Corridor,” Giles said. “Their new capacity opens the door to major tech company expansions and new business while keeping Mesa at the forefront of innovation.” The expansion will support new data centers and technology companies planned for the area – including the SkyBridge development at the PhoenixMesa Gateway Airport; educational institutions; the newly completed Dignity Health hospital; and numerous other area businesses. Marwest’s development is within a federal opportunity zone, which allows investors to defer and potentially reduce taxes on capital gains. “Landing 202 is a great addition of quality Class A industrial space to Mesa’s Gateway Area,” Mesa Economic Development Director Bill Jabjiniak said. “We continue to see great interest in all of our opportunity zones.” Marwest principal David Martens sees the development meeting “the continued and increasing demand for tenants to reside and grow their businesses in Mesa,” especially those that need larger and more functional space built along with modern standards.
Gilbert schools slate job fair for scores of vacancies TRIBUNE NEWS STAFF
I
t was deemed the 2019 Employer of Choice by the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce and if you’re looking for a job, you can get a chance to see why. Gilbert Public Schools is hoping to attract dozens of new employees to an array of more than 200 jobs and has scheduled an employment fair 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, in The Commons at Highland High School, 4301 E. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert. It wasn’t only the Chamber that considers GPS a top employer. It also was voted by Gilbert Sun News readers as the best place to work in this year’s Best of Gilbert poll. “We reward and celebrate all of our incredible staff by offering a wide range of initiatives for all staff, including teachers, administrators and support staff,” the district said. That includes a competitive benefits package, matching contributions to a retirement fund, a program promoting staff health and wellness, professional growth and development opportunities, discount-
ed preschool childcare and before- and after-school childcare and financial wellness seminars, the district says. While a recent survey called attention to the more than 1,400 teaching vacancies in Arizona, GPS is largely unscarred by that shortage. The district is seeking to fill only four teaching positions, according to its website. But it’s also recruiting for paraprofessionals, bus drivers and nutrition workers – all for jobs, both part time and fulltime, in the current school year. The district’s website shows the two biggest categories of jobs it’s seeking to fill are under special services – with 86 vacancies – and coaches, with 43 empty slots. The special services vacancies involve jobs like auditorium coordinator, instruction assistant and paraprofessional specialists, assistants and technicians to service in a wide range of programs assisting teachers and helping to run various afterand before-school programs. Some of those programs involve work-

“We learned all of this by mistake. Of course, since I did teach a number of years, I thought the best way would be to show and teach people what to do and let them make the decision on whether they want to use the product or not. And the results have been pretty good.” “Good” in the sense, he said, that “we have a niche market for those who want something better than the grocery stores and don’t want or can’t afford the cost of a pest controller.” But while LaBrie is proud of his competitive edge, his son stressed, “We don’t focus so much on our competition as we do with our customers and where they’re coming from.” “We do find a lot of people have been frustrated with their efforts, as good doit-yourselfers, by using products that didn’t live up to their expectations,” Joe

added. “Very often, they don’t know how to read a label so we do all of that. We show people how to do it right.” The Sonoran desert has a variety of bugs – which is good news for Bug & Weed Mart. “We are the buggiest state,” said Joe. “We have a lot of diversity in the types of bugs people are going to find. I’d like to think one bug spray treats everything. Sometimes, that’s not the case. So, we’re here to help people sort through that and yeah, we can find solutions for them.” Home Depot has even referred customers to Bug & Weed Mart and the retailer has a good relationship with pest control companies. “Once in a while, they stumble into our store because they heard about it and they look around and to them, it’s like Disneyland,” said Joe. “It’s like, ‘wow, this is great. I didn’t know you guys had this
Among the 19 support staff positions the district is seeking to fill are jobs such as security and crossing guards as well as site and activities coordinators.

product.’ So, they realize this is a place where if they’re in a pinch, they can get something from us.” Sometimes those same pest control companies return the favor, Joe added, explaining: “A lot of good pest controllers send their customers to Bug & Weed Mart… to save them money. We constantly have people coming in saying, ‘hey, my pest controller does a great job spraying. I hear you have great granules. Can you show me what those are?’….The pest control industry has been really good about helping us out.” Aside from the typical pests lurking around houses, Bug & Weed Mart also has solutions for other types of creatures such as snakes. “You don’t want to kill a snake, even a rattlesnake,” said Jim. “You can’t imagine how many rodents that thing eats. They pay their rent.”
In most if not all cases, successful candidates will need to pass a criminal background check as well as the standard review of past employment. And many involve more activity than just sitting behind a desk. For example, the job of paraprofessional specialist supervising and providing in-

So, he recommends a product called SnakeAway. “It’s totally safe. You just sprinkle it out and the snake won’t cross it.” Bug & Weed Mart also has products to keep away bats, javelina and even bobcats. “We learned about it by hook and crook,” said Jim. “Out in North Scottsdale, a bobcat kept walking along a high fence between the various acre lots and it was scaring people for good reason. And we really didn’t know what to do exactly because there’s nothing that mentions bobcat in the label. “So, we used a very common repellant, oddly enough, for birds. It’s sticky stuff. We had the homeowner put it on the fence and when the bobcat walked over it, it got on its paws, it didn’t like it, made a lot of noise and never came back.” Information: bugandweedmart.com.

Making birthdays special for children in foster care BY DAN SHUFELT Guest Writer
A
rizona Helping Hands is the largest provider of basic needs to the 14,000 children in our state’s foster care system. It is truly important to give boys and girls who have been abused and neglected a sense of safety and dignity. The beds, cribs, clothing, diapers, backpacks filled with school supplies, and other items help to raise their self-esteem. We take basic needs to another level with our Birthday Dreams program. We believe that celebrating a birthday for children in foster care is a basic need. Having met so many youngsters who – just due to their unique circumstances – have never celebrated their birthday, we understand the importance of that special day. We receive requests from foster families and the Department of Child Safety caseworkers daily. One request might state that little Joey is
turning 4 and likes trains. Another might tell us that Paige’s 17th birthday is coming up and she likes soccer and Harry Potter. Our objective is to let Joey, Paige and thousands of children know that we care. Our army of volunteers will “shop” through our stock of donated and purchased items to find the perfect gift to celebrate them. After finding the Thomas the train set, volunteer Anne will gift-wrap it with care and place it, along with a few other items and a book, into a white shopping bag that has been artistically decorated to say “Happy Birthday Joey!” Imagine Joey’s reaction to receiving a package made just for him. For some of the youngsters, the beautifully decorated bag is as important as what is inside. Somebody spent their time creating a magical message just for him. Teenagers in foster care are too often the forgotten ones. Many have been written off by our society. Hard to place in foster homes, burdened with baggage from their life experiences, maybe living
in a group home with 5-10 other children, their birthdays go unacknowledged. We prepare birthday packages for every child in the foster care system, regardless of age. For Paige, her package includes a duffel bag – to store her belongings and replace the black trash bag in which she has carried her life possessions from home to home. It also has a soccer ball and gift cards to let her decide what her needs and wants are. We might throw in some makeup, and we add a book (Harry Potter in her case) to every package that we assemble. I have met way too many children who have never celebrated a birthday. One young lady shared that the first time her birthday was acknowledged as special was the day she turned 16 and her caseworker and social worker pitched in a few dollars to buy her a birthday cake. We can, and must, do better – and that’s why our Birthday Dream program exists. This program is supported by our caring community. Companies have sponsored toy and gift card collections. Caring indi-
viduals ask their friends to donate items for kids, instead of gifting them yet another bottle of wine. Others have assembled Birthdays in Bag kits that include cake mixes, frosting, candles and more to give a family the party to go along with the gift package. Volunteers have spent loving hours decorating bags and wrapping presents. It is wonderful to have so many coming together to share the love with kids who don’t smile and laugh enough. We know that every child should experience the joy of their special day, and our program makes the day special for every child in foster care! Arizona Helping Hands will make Birthday Dreams come true for 3,400+ children in 2019. To learn how you can help contact dreamcatcher@azhelpinghands.org.

allowed us to make even greater strides when they approved a sales tax to fund more police officers for the City of Mesa. We appreciate the vote of confidence and know there’s much to be done; the job of policing is dynamic and increasingly complex and we must constantly evolve to meet the needs of our growing community. The first step is quite simple: listening. I’ve been doing a lot of that over the last two years and I appreciate those who share their feedback with me. Among other key, public safety initiatives, we have partnered with Ring Home Security, enabling witnesses of crimes to quickly and voluntarily share information with members of the police department. In addition, our crime prevention initiatives are shifting to pinpoint, focused, data-based initiatives that utilize mobile overt camera systems and community support to thwart criminal activity. Listening is important, but we must always pair that with substantive action. That’s why we’ve incorporated feedback from residents, officers and our city’s leaders to help modernize and update the
policies that guide everyone on the force – from the chief to the officers who work in your neighborhood. These policies – and the improvements we’ve made in our training protocols – focus on accountability, critical decision making, de-escalation and non-lethal force options. We want our officers to have access to a wide range of tools because that means we have more options when we’re on the street. It’s always our goal to turn down the temperature and resolve difficult situations in the safest possible manner for our officers and the community. We’re seeing real results in a very short period of time: as just one example, the use-of-force policy change we enacted last year regarding physical contact during incidents has significantly reduced harm to both officers and residents. It’s also essential we identify and recruit the finest people to join our team. Next year, we’re increasing the number of police academies to three, meaning we’ll have nearly 60 new officers – as well as 35 professional staff – trained and ready to
serve you. Recruiting is a critical component of what we do – it shapes the future of our force and sets the stage for how we’ll operate over the next few decades. We must be methodical in who we recruit and how we structure their training. There is nothing like a good foundation to work from, and that holds true for our recruits. Here is my commitment to this great community: Every day, we will strive to keep our residents and all our members safe and make this department a standard of excellence across the nation. We have a vision and mission for this department, and I will see it through. On a daily basis, I am honored to work alongside our officers, they strive to deliver the highest level of service to our citizens, they display care, compassion and courage. Creating substantive, lasting change is hard, but I’m proud that we’ve worked together and shown that it’s possible. Our best days are ahead of us.
Mesa chief: Lasting reform, with more to come BY CHIEF RAMON BATISTA Tribune Guest Writer
T
wo years ago, it was my honor and privilege to become the chief of the Mesa Police De-
partment. From day one, my priorities have been crystal clear: Partner with the brave men and women of this department to improve our relationship with the community, modernize our operations and recruit the best and brightest from across our region. With the support of our mayor and city council, I’m proud we are successfully implementing lasting reform – changes that keep our residents and officers safer – and there’s much more to come. This department has nearly 800 hardworking officers who put their lives on the line every single day. Along with our 400 civilian staff members, their sole focus is ensuring Mesa remains one of the safest large cities in the U.S. and maintaining our exceptionally low crime rate. Mesa voters recognized our progress and

Skyline’s Roebuck using scout knowledge on �ield BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor
I
t’s an achievement Skyline High School senior quarterback Blake Roebuck worked toward for more than four years. On Sept. 23, nearly three years after he completed his �inal project, Roebuck of�icially earned the rank of Eagle Scout in his Boy Scouts of America troop 653. “It felt really good,” Roebuck said. “I have a really good troop and leaders that teach you the right things for life. It’s a huge accomplishment. I’m really excited about it.” It generally takes anywhere from three to four years for a boy scout to achieve Eagle Scout rank. However, the time depends on other activities and commitments in the scout's life. For Roebuck, that means football. A sport which has captivated his life and one he hopes to make a career out of, whether on the �ield or not. “I want to be a college football coach,” Roebuck said. “I �igure that wherever I go, I want to become a grad-assistant. I plan to major in business so if the coaching route doesn’t work out, I can fall back on that. “But I would love to be a coach.” Football was one of the reasons he took a two-year break from scouting after he �inished his Eagle Scout project. On Aug. 27, 2019, he passed the Board of Review and was able to of�icially obtain his Eagle Scout rank. For his project, Roebuck gave the Mesa Police Department’s �iring range a makeover. He visited the site several times before it was completed, mapping out what he would do using suggestions from the of�icers. At 5 a.m. one Saturday morning, he and roughly 40 of his friends, family and troop members showed up to renovate the �iring range. They installed new railroad ties, added close to 30 new targets and cleaned up the range to provide the de-

partment with a shooting range face-life. “We just made everything a little more stable and enjoyable for everyone that uses it,” Roebuck said. “They really enjoyed it.” Roebuck giving back to the Mesa Police Department for his project hit home for �irst-year Skyline coach George Hawthorne, who spent 25 years with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Of�ice. It was during that time Hawthorne moved up to become captain before retiring last year. “There aren’t many kids that would think about that,” Hawthorne said. “For him to go rehabilitate a �iring range for law enforcement is outstanding. “Just like schools, law enforcement doesn’t have a bunch of money so I’m sure they had a lot of appreciation for him in what he did," he explained. Hawthorne has seen �irst-hand this season how the qualities Roebuck learned during his time in the BSA also translated to his time on the football �ield.
One of the most notable skillsets is his ability to lead by example. It’s not uncommon to see Roebuck encouraging his teammates to practice at game speed on a consistent basis. If he isn’t doing it vocally, then he is showing it through his actions on the �ield. Every player on the Skyline varsity roster has not only bought into the culture established by Hawthorne this season, but also the idea of allowing Roebuck to lead. An impressive feat for someone who transferred into the program just last year. “These guys are my family,” Roebuck said. “When I �irst came here they gave me a lot of love, they didn’t look at me as a kid from Mesa. I’ve grown strong relationships with these guys.” Roebuck transferred from Mesa High School in 2018 after Junior Taylor, who was the offensive coordinator for the Jackrabbits, left the program to pursue an assistant coaching position at Wagner College in New York. Taylor was a mentor to Roebuck, who admittedly felt out of place once he had left. Roebuck looked at the surrounding program and decided to transfer to Skyline. Even with a new staff this season, it’s a decision he doesn’t regret making. “The administration, the players, the coaches that were here at the time, they all welcomed me in,” Roebuck said. “Even now with a new staff, I wouldn’t change anything. I love it here.” It’s been a rough go in Roebuck’s �irst season as the starter for the Coyotes, who lost several key players to transfers and started the season 0-5 through the �irst half of the season. But like the rest of the team, Roebuck refuses to give in to the struggle so far this season. He continues to motivate his team in hopes of leading them to victory. “We just have to come together as a team. We are struggling here and there with different things every game,” Roebuck said. “I’m trying to lead the offense

in the right direction. “As soon as we come together and play as a team, we will be �ine.”

Chandler church offers ‘Taste of Greece’ DAVID M. BROWN GetOut Contributor
I
t’s “Opa!” time as the 36th annual Taste of Greece festival returns Oct. 4–6 at St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church in Chandler. Melding the traditions of ancient Greece with today’s culture, the church campus located at 2716 N. Dobson Road becomes a Greek village, welcoming 10,000 guests for the celebration with Greek foods, live music, costumed folk dancing, imports, vendors and a Kids Fun Zone. More than 300 volunteers, mostly church members and fellow Greek churches in the Valley, will tend 15 food booths serving 32 dishes. They will also help guests at the sports bar and the “agora” marketplace, which features arts and crafts, Greek imports, jewelry, CDs, books and icons. And they coordinate the advertising, publicity and other festival duties. The food is prepared by highly experienced food volunteers. Favorites include dolmathes, grapevine leaves stuffed with ground beef, seasoned rice and herbs; spanakopita, thin filo dough filled with spinach and cheeses; and pastichio, “Greek lasagna,” baked

macaroni and ground beef covered in béchamel sauce. New this year is calamari, a Greek specialty. Attendees can also enjoy Greek pastries such as baklava, filo dough filled with nuts and spices; kourabiedes, a rich, shortbread-like cookie covered with powdered sugar; and loukoumathes, pastry puffs sweetened with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Baklava cheesecake is debuting this year. These and other Greek foods will also
be available to take home. Greek music will continue to serenade foodies this weekend. There will be folk dancers from various age groups in authentic costumes from Crete, Thrace and Epirus. Dance workshops are also scheduled. “From the spanakopita to the stitching in the Greek dancer’s costumes, we are a telling a story which allows our children and neighbors to sample our Greek culture, hospitality and faith,” said Nicolette
Wright, a member of the church who tends the gyro booth during the weekend with husband Todd. “The festival is our opportunity to proudly showcase our traditional Greek menu, music, and dances and to strengthen our bonds and relationships with our friends, family, and neighbors,” added Vange Archuleta. He has volunteered since 1985 and chaired the event for seven years. Dimitra Attwood, coordinated volunteers this year and explains, “Greeks love to share their love for food, hospitality and community, so being able to share that is a beautiful feeling. “When you go to a Greek’s home, you will have a new best friend, learn so much about their heritage – and will never walk away hungry.” The festival satisfies other needs, too. Most importantly, it ensures the continuity of centuries of traditions. For Wright, it’s an opportunity to celebrate Greek heritage with the community and share the culture with her children. “As we work the booth all weekend long, we still take necessary breaks to watch our 6-year-old son participate in

Greek dance,” she said. “It’s increasingly more difficult, generation after generation, to preserve this (culture) if you didn’t have the influence of the Greek Orthodox Church and the opportunity to celebrate Greek culture each year,” said Wright, whose great-grandparents were one of the first Greek families in Arizona. Their children – Wright’s grandparents – attended Greek school every day after traditional American day school, but they didn’t require a formal Greek school environment for their children, Wright’s parents. “Generation by generation, we are assimilated more into the American culture, so as parents we need to be more purposeful in how we make time to pass down our Greek traditions and heritage,” said Wright. Wright also directs the church’s Sunday school ministry and is a member of St. Irene Philoptochos, a charitable society of the church. Attwood’s volunteers range from 6 years through 90. “We even have some awesome middle school parishioners who have taken it upon themselves to set up a table in the Kids Zone to paint fingernails for a dona-

tion,” she said. Both she and husband Kevin grew up at St. Katherine. His late uncle, Father Sam Poulos started the parish and baptized her. “I learned how to Greek dance at a very young age and loved every bit of it. Learning the choreography and that each dance came from one island or another and being able to wear the costumes and learning what island they were from gave me such a sense of pride for my heritage,” she recalled. “Now I get to see my own kids learn all the same things and even wear some of the same costumes that I wore when I was a kid,” she said, noting that all three
were dancing before they were born, including her 4-year-old twins: “Even being 34 weeks pregnant with twins couldn’t stop me from being out on that dance floor during a Greek festival!” The twins have attended Camp Agape, partially funded by the St. Irene Philoptochos society. The camp caters to families dealing with childhood diseases. Archuleta’s parents immigrated to Green River, Wyoming; he worked with the Union Pacific Railroad in the mid1900s and sent for her mother to join him in the late 1940s via a letter to Greece. Green River had no Greek festivals, “but a close-knit community of Greek families
maintained the traditions of the Greek culture through our church, celebrations, strong bonds and deep pride,” she said. In 1985, her daughter, Dr. Stacie Eskew, a Gilbert optometrist, and son, Adam Archuleta, the ASU football star, NFL player and now CBS sports analyst, moved to Chandler. As soon as they arrived, the family joined St. Katherine. Since 1985, many of the festival leaders have passed away, and the current average age is over 75. “It is imperative for our younger generations to step up and work hand in hand with our leaders to continue the traditions that have been set forth by generations,” she said. Archuleta has five grandchildren, and her staff is assisting with the next generation as well. The Wrights, for example, are expecting their third, which should make a quorum to assume all of the gyro duties at future A Taste of Greece events. “One day,” she said with a smile, “the booth will be run by the whole family.”

Don Hansen Smith, 99 of Mesa, AZ passed away peacefully September 19, 2019 surrounded by his family and loved ones. Don was born January 10, 1920 in Nibley, UT. He was the sixth child of Isaac Fowels Smith and Eva Hansen. As a child of the depression, Don quickly learned the value of hard work and the worth of a dollar. Don was a natural entrepreneur; at a young age he began selling his baby rabbits and pigs to the neighbor kids. At the age of 15, he met and courted his sweetheart Eva Jean Redford. He fell in love with her big brown eyes and sweet smile. They were married March 27, 1941 in the Logan, UT temple. They started their family with the birth of Karen, with Michael, Brad, and Jill quickly following. They later adopted Terry, Corey, and Susan. Don was loved by all who knew him. He was witty and always good for a joke or a laugh. He loved people, he loved to serve others, and he found immense joy in his work. Don loved suits; he always had a nice suit and a nice car to call on people. With only an 8th grade education, Don was an industrious and successful businessman. A few of his professional accomplishments include: The Rich Plan, selling freezers, Don H. Smith & Sons-frozen meat plant where he created the first conveyer belt system for meat preservation. He started a pig farm in Tooele, UT as well as Mushroom farms in Fillmore, UT and Alamosa, CO. His final successful business venture was with his son Corey, DCSJ, where they constructed large concrete buildings in Arizona. Don was drafted in 1941 into the US Army and was sent to Hawaii to the 104th combat engineers after basic training. He was in the first wave to enter the Philippines that landed at Leyte. He was a machine gunner hauling ammunition and water for his comrades. He was based in Okinawa for the remainder of his service in the military. Don was very proud to have served in the US Army and spoke of his service often. Don was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served faithfully his whole life. He was wonderful with the youth of the church and planned the regional festivals in the Hollywood bowl for a period of time. He served a mission in the Santa Monica stake and later was the Stake Mission President. His favorite calling was as the Visitors Center President at the Los Angeles Temple. He spent time as sealer in the Los Angeles Temple and ended his service as a Patriarch where he administered 997 blessings. Don is preceded in death by his parents & siblings, wife Eva, son Brad, daughter Jill, son Corey (Sara), son Terry (Debbie), granddaughter Carrie Eagar and many friends and family. He is survived by his daughter Karen (Ron) Eagar, son Michael (Gwen) Smith, daughter Susan Smith and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved him dearly. A viewing and memorial service will be September 24, 2019 at Nelson Family Mortuary located at 4780 N University Ave. Provo, UT , Viewing 10:00 AM, Memorial Service 11:00 AM. Arizona Memorial Service will be October 11, 2019 at Legacy Funeral Home located at 4403 E Broadway Rd, Mesa, AZ at 6:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the General Missionary fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Obituaries Kenneth James Martinez II Beloved husband, father, son and friend, Kenneth James Martinez II (19762019) Ken's desire to enjoy life to the fullest was surpassed only by his love for God and family. His love for God was demonstrated in many forms, but was most notable in service to others. The task, whether large or small, was never the focus; people were the focus. Those who had an opportunity to interact with Ken were forever changed. Ken's prioritization of family was demonstrated by action. Judy, his wife of twenty years, was not only his best friend but his perfect life partner. Together they were blessed with the gift of parenting two amazing individuals, their daughter Elizabeth and son Bradley. Ken cherished his relationship with each and ensured that the personal bonds built would never be broken regardless of changes in circumstance or life itself. Ken is survived by his wife Judith Elaine Martinez, daughter Elizabeth Anne Martinez, son Bradley James Martinez; mother Debbie Graham and her husband Tom Graham; father Kenneth Martinez I; step father Jim Lawrence; sisters Jamie Randolph, Deya Wilmot, Shanna Martinez, brother James Martinez; grandmother Colleen Johnson; step grandmother Carla Martinez, and many extended family members.
