(Special to the Tribune)
Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport may now have a chance to replace its aging and inadequate air traffic control tower after years of delay in Congress.
hoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is finally free to do something about its short – and potentially unsafe – air traffic control tower. Thanks to the U.S. Senate passing the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, the airport will be allowed to spend around $20 million on a new control tower after years of not being able to build it because of an old, bureaucratic rule. “All we’ve been wanting to do is spend our own money,” airport spokesman Ryan Smith said. “We’re not looking for a handout. We just to be able to spend our own money.” The airport can do that now that Congress has eliminated a $2-million cap on capital improvements to traffic control towers at the nation’s smaller airports. The rule was put into place to keep towers affordable since the fed-
eral government pays most of the bill. But Gateway Airport is not like most smaller airports. It’s the 35th busiest in the country in operations and attracted 1.4 million passengers last year. With a Vietnam War-era tower still keeping a watch over nearly 300,000 flights a year, however, airport officials have been itching for a taller, wider tower for years. Congress had been working on passing a new FAA reauthorization bill since 2013. For the last six years, the government operated under the 2012 agreement. “(Congress) just kind of kicked the can down the road,” Smith said. That’s where Arizona’s Congressional delegation stepped up. U.S. Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema and Congressman Andy Biggs led an effort in the House to remove that cap as part of the 2018 See

Judge weighs prior incidents in Mesa man’s sex assault case BY GABRIELLE HOFER Tribune Contributor
A
Superior Court judge last week took under advisement a question of whether prior sexual assaults can be introduced at the trial of a Mesa man accused of sexually assaulting two babysitters at different times in his home. Dion Lee Earl,46, former owner of the Seattle Impact indoor-soccer team, is facing three felony and three misdemeanor charges in connection with assaulting the women, ages 18 and 21, who were babysitting his three children. During a hearing last week, the prosecution argued for permission to intro-
duce past allegations of sexual assault against Earl from five additional women. Among them would be his 2014 trial on charges by former dancDION LEE EARL ers for the Seattle Impact’s cheer squad. Throughout the hearing, Earl denied the allegations and suggested the two women
in the latest case had colluded against him because they had heard of the monetary damages he paid in the 2014 case. Police reports state that while both women in the current case filed complaints within two months of each other, they did not know each other and were unaware of the other’s complaints. Earl’s attorney, Christopher Doran, argued against introducing any testimony involving prior accusations, saying it would prejudice the jury. During the hearing, Earl at times tearfully apologized but adamantly denied assaulting either woman. “This is no sexual abuse,” he said, balling up tissues as he occasionally wept. “I just
miss my kids. It didn’t have to be like this.” Benjamin Taylor, who is representing one of the women in the current case, said after the hearing that Earl should plead guilty and hope for some mercy from the judge, adding, “A jury will crucify him.” Kathleen Winn, director of the antihuman trafficking organization Project 25 and a close friend of the father of one of the two women, said the case shows the need for stricter laws regarding sexual predators. The younger woman’s parents said that had they known of the past allegations against Earl, they would have never had her babysit at his home. Earl’s next court appearance is Nov. 7.
Mesa cross-dresser gets 35 years for brutalizing girl, 3 BY JOSÉ-IGNACIO CASTAÑEDA Tribune Contributor
A
Mesa man was sentenced to 35 years in prison last week after pleading guilty to the kidnapping and the attempted child abuse of a 3-yearold girl who was found covered in feces and in a garbage bag. Francisco Javier-Rios Covarrubias – described by a witness as a cross-dresser – was also sentenced to lifetime probation after his release. The defendant showed no emotion as Superior Court Judge Warren Granville sentenced him for his Aug. 28 guilty plea to two counts of kidnapping and three counts of child abuse in connection with a case in which one witness told police he had offered the baby for sex. Granville appreciated the fact that Covarrubias decided not to go to trial, eliminating the need for the girl to testify in court so that a victim’s advocate could speak for her. The unnamed victim’s representative, who had been taking care of the victim since the incident occurred, started choking up at the sentencing hearing as she discussed
the crime. “Her innocence was taken away from her by what I would call a monster,” she said. “I don’t understand how anyone can do something so horrific to FRANCISCO JAVIER-RIOS a child.” COVARRUBIAS According to court records, the victim was still bound with duct tape, covered in feces and inside a garbage bag with only her head exposed when detectives found her. The victim had been in the sole care of Covarrubias for a month before police found her on Jan. 18, 2016. Despite her ordeal, the representative said, the little girl “is empathetic, very resilient and extremely loving. This person did not break her.” After the incident, the victim was noncommunicative. The representative described how she didn’t even know if the
victim spoke Spanish or English due to her silence. To the representative’s surprise, the victim would “sing all the lyrics to songs on certain radio stations.” The representative would later find out the reason for this strange occurrence. According to court documents, the defendant would leave the victim alone for hours while he went to work and would put the radio or television on at an extremely loud volume to drown out any noise the victim might make. “The victim was entitled to have the love and care that she has now, and I can’t imagine the cruelty and the breach of trust that has been reflected on why we are here today,” said Granville. According to court documents, Covarrubias admitted that he put the victim in the garbage bag so as not to get urine or feces “on the stuff in the room.” He also admitted to putting the victim in the closet and duct-taping her hands, feet and mouth. Prosecuting attorney Frankie Grimsman said the defendant’s actions were “not only devastating to the victim and something that she will be dealing with for the rest
of her life, but even the police officers who saw her at the scene were traumatized by this. It impacted everyone who has dealt with this case.” One person who dealt with this case, who was not present during the sentencing, was the male witness who first contacted the police about the victim and the conditions that she was enduring. The witness had gone to Covarrubias’ apartment after meeting him online. When the witness arrived at the apartment, he was greeted by Covarrubias in a blonde wig and a tattered pink dress, according to court records. After a short time in the apartment, the witness noticed a foul smell only to realize that Covarrubias had the victim next to him. The victim still had her hands and mouth covered with duct tape. According to court documents, after the witness rejected an offer to have sex with the toddler, he asked Covarrubias if he had kidnapped the child. Covarrubias said he hadn’t. The witness notified the police as soon as he left Covarrubias’ apartment. The baby’s mother was homeless and had asked Covarrubias to take care of her.
Chandler mother accused of drowning her month-old son BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer
E
ric Canku of Chandler held his month-old son for the last time on Oct. 24. The next day, Chandler police say, the boy’s mother intentionally drowned the infant in the bathtub.
Canku, 19, said there were no warning signs that Jenna Folwell, also 19, was sad, overwhelmed or just didn’t like their child, Rainer Canku-Folwell, for some inexplicable reason. “She had so many options and she chose the worst one,’’ Canku said. “She could have told me to take him. I would have taken him and raised him myself.’’
Fighting back tears during a press conference at police headquarters on Oct. 25, Canku pleaded with any parent who is overwhelmed by a child’s birth to seek help. “I just don’t know what kind of person would do that to an innocent child. She took away the best thing I had in my life,’’ Canku said.
Chandler police arrested Folwell on suspicion of first-degree murder after finding Rainer’s tiny body wet, wrapped in two blankets and hidden in a duffle bag stored inside a cabinet in the Chandler apartment where she lived with her parents. Folwell first called police and claimed See

ums; and improving the west gateway to downtown by replacing the closed Baileys Brakes with a mixed-use development that combines apartments with commercial and retail space. “The city considers Chicanos Por La Causa as an important partner in redevelopment along light rail. Their redevelopment plans for the Mesa Royale site represents an investment in the Mesa community that will support the creation of a walkable, urban environment in those areas just outside of downtown, while benefiting from light rail proximity,’’ said Jeff McVay, Mesa’s downtown transformation manager. Founded in 1969, Chicanos Por La Causa is a community development corporation with an operating budget of $137.75 million that provides more than 300,000 people in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico with a broad range of bilingual and bi-cultural services in health and human services, housing, education and economic development. Its projects come at a time when ASU is about to build a campus downtown and the church undertakes a two-year plan to re-do the Mesa Arizona Tempe’s grounds, build a new visitors center and construct an 8.2-acre complex of townhouses, garden homes and apartments along with a 400-car undergrown garage. The Nuevos Vistas project features a cluster of 15 two- and three-story buildings with 56 condominiums, built to face landscaped courtyards, according to city zoning documents. It will replace the crumbling Mesa Royale mobile home park at Main Street and Date. City Council approved zoning for the project earlier this month, with Mayor John Giles praising Chicanos por la Causa for working with residents to either transition them into the new condominiums or to find them a new place to live. City zoning documents show the 3.5acre property, west of downtown, was annexed into Mesa in 1949 and that there was no record of any zoning procedures being followed. The park gradually fell into decay under its previous owners. “They were one of the few organizations that could have come into this situation and have credibility with the folks who live in that community,” Giles said. “This in my mind is a story that is ending much better than I thought it would. I think it’s a real success story.’’ David Adame, president and CEO of Chicanos por la Causa, said he has been working to expand the nonprofit’s pres-

building a large underground parking garage, adding a new Visitors Center near the light rail, and building a new housing development that includes garden townhouses and two-, three- and four-story apartment buildings. “I truly believe the City of Mesa is a great community and doing some great things,’’ Adame said. “We thought it was a great, great opportunity.’’ Seventeen years ago, Bailey’s Brakes case became a lightning rod for conservatives opposed to the city’s use of eminent domain for redevelopment at the time, a practice that has since been abandoned. The city wanted to take the site by eminent domain and use it for redevelopment of a hardware store in 2001. But the action was reversed when the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled it was illegal for a city to take a privately-owned property and hand it over to another private owner in 2003. The court ruled eminent domain can only be used for a public purpose. Mesa finally issued a request for proposals, seeking a redevelopment project similar to the one described by Adame. The longtime brake shop closed several months ago and is surrounded by a chain link fence. McVay described the new redevelopment project as “The Residences on Main,’’ although Adame said Chicanos por la Causa has not settled on a formal name. “The city and CPLC continue to partner on the development of this important western gateway into downtown Mesa,’’ McKay said. “Mesa and CPLC staff are finalizing our agreements and expect to have them ready for City Council consideration before year’s end.’’ Chicanos por la Causa also played a role in at least two other redevelopment efforts in Mesa. The nonprofit bought the closed Bill Johnson’s restaurant on East Main Street and sold the property to the Maricopa Integrated Health Care District, which has plans to build a clinic. After hearing about Mesa’s plans to develop a neon-sign park as a memory of a bygone era when Main Street was the main interstate highway, Adame decided to donate the iconic “Bill Johnson’s, Let’s Eat’’ sign to the city. The new clinic, located along the soonto-open light rail line between Mesa Drive and Gilbert Road, will offer a full range of medical, behavioral and dental services as well as a pharmacy and laboratory. The 30,000-square-foot facility will cost about $25 million, according to healthcare system spokesman Michael Murphy. The Bill Johnson’s sign will be part of a neon sign museum that history buffs hope to create in Mesa.

to those lucky enough to get inside the hangar. The slogans ranged from “Keep America Great Again” to “Finish the Wall.” Those protestors who were visible outside the venue mostly refused to give interviews to the media or even acknowledge people were speaking to them. One Trump supporter who was waiting in line walked up to a woman holding a sign that read: “You can’t fix stupid but you can VOTE it out!” A number of people left the venue after finding out they wouldn’t be getting in around 6 p.m. A big video board outside the hangar allowed those who stayed to watch what they were missing inside. Some people in the outside crowd began leaving just minutes into Trump’s speech, figuring there was no point hanging around just to watch TV.

the baby had been abducted from her car. She then said she took Rainer into a bathtub full of water, court documents state, and that she either fainted or passed out, and, when she became alert again, found Rainer floating face down. After police obtained a search warrant, they found 100 different searches in Folwell’s cell phone on such topics as “ways to die instantly,’’ five types of parents who kill and reasons why parents kill babies, the court document said. When confronted about the incriminating search history, “Folwell admitted to getting into the bathtub with her son and then letting him go,’’ the court document said. “Jenna said she settled on this way because she did not want to hear her baby cry.’’ Detective Seth Tyler, a police spokesman, said Folwell never explained to detectives why she wanted to kill Rainer. He said she lived within walking distance of Chandler Regional Hospital, where she could have sought help and likely would have never faced criminal prosecution. Although the state Safe Haven Law gives parents of newborns 72-hours to turn them in at a fire station or a hospital – with no questions asked unless there are signs of abuse – the last thing on the minds of police in such an abandonment situation is making an arrest, he said. “We’re not worried about charges there,’’ Tyler said. “We want to help them and help that child.’’

Folwell told police a man had placed a plastic bag over her head and threatened to kill her as she attempted to put her baby into her car. She claimed the baby had been abducted. Police started searching for the baby, but they also went to Folwell’s apartment, where they found the door open and no one apparently home, Tyler said. Canku said he was friends with Folwell, but that the two no longer had a romantic relationship. He said he would typically take care of Rainer two days a week and Folwell was supposed to allow him to care for the baby on Wednesday night. He said he wants justice in the case and that he doesn’t think Folwell should ever walk out of prison a free woman. “Please grab your child and tell them you love them.

It passed the Senate on Oct. 3 by a 93-6 vote. “We cut through the gridlock and delivered for Arizona families, ensuring Gateway can move forward with a new control tower that will pave the way for future economic development,” Sinema said. Mesa Mayor John Giles celebrated its passage by tweeting, “Gateway Airport is an economic engine for AZ.” Even U.S. Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma told the Washington Post the bill was a “big, major deal.” The main portion of the bill that affects most U.S. travelers is the stipulation that airlines cannot bump a passenger from a plane after they’ve already been seated. Of course, that’s not the part that excites Gateway Airport officials as much. They say the need for a taller, larger tower is immense and years overdue. The current 106-foot tall building opened in 1970, when the airport was still a military base.

occur in the middle of the 2020s. According to an analysis completed by the airport, Gateway handles more traffic than 90 percent of all towered airports. “This is the type of basic infrastructure that the country really needs, which people aren’t aware is failing and outdated,” said Apache Junction mayor Jeff Serdy, chairman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority. “We always use bridges as an example when we talk about infrastructure. But when you think of the lives that are on the line with an air traffic control building, this is very important.” The airport is currently served by five airlines, with Allegiant leading the way with 45 destinations, including recent additions Indianapolis and St. Louis. Westjet, Swoop and Flair all fly to Canadian cities, while California Pacific will soon offer nonstop service to Carlsbad, California. Over the next two months, the airport will also begin nonstop service to St. George, Utah, and two Canadian cities (Edmonton and Winnipeg). An Arizona State University study earlier this decade found more than 10,000 jobs are created in the region because of the airport. Plus, the study said it brings in about $1.3 billion each year to the local economy.

Therapy Farm’s animals help heal broken bodies BY SRIANTHI PERERA Tribune Contributor
F
ive-year-old Rita Davison is gingerly placed atop a horse in a large backyard in Gilbert. She wears a helmet and a broad leather belt is strapped around her waist. She reaches up toward a leafy tree but is prone to falling over, so she is propped by two people on either side. Rita has a rare gene mutation that falls under the scope of spina bifida; it impacts muscle tone and speech and her movement is restricted. She’s learning to sit up, stand and walk without assistance and generally improve the quality of her dayto-day activities. The backyard belongs to The Therapy Farm in Gilbert, where horses, dogs and the great outdoors play a huge role in helping kids like Rita. Established about four years ago by occupational therapists Angela Troy and Cherise Basques, The Therapy Farm serves young people, mostly children, who are disabled or have special needs. The approach is unique. Troy specializes in Hippotherapy (“Hippo” is Greek for horse), a physical, occupational and speech therapy treatment strategy that utilizes horse movement where the horse is the therapeutic intervention. Canine-assisted therapy; sensory integration, which are exercises to strengthen a person’s sense of touch and balance; and arts and crafts and play-based activities are also used to improve the movement and responses of those impacted. Troy grew up in a 1,000-acre farm in North Dakota, which meant an outdoorsy childhood with plenty of animals. She has a degree in elementary education with a concentration in special education and a master’s degree in occupational therapy from A.T. Still University in Mesa.
trees and a children’s play area. “Hippo therapy is the therapy that helps when nothing else does,” said Bob Davison, Rita’s father, who has brought her for therapy twice a week for two years. “She only had so much core strength that was possible what we could do at home.” Davison has noted a slow and steady progress in his daughter’s condition (Srianti Perera/Tribune Contributor) at which he’s Brandon Ryan, left, and Lee Heath help 5-year-old Rita Davison undergo “amazed.” “hippotherapy” at the Therapy Farm with Kaye the Quarter Horse.

Basques is an Arizona native who hold a in the older subdivision in central Gilbert. The property features a spacious yard, leafy bachelor’s degree in psychology from Arizo-
na State University and a master’s in occupational therapy, also from A.T. Still. The animal lover has raised and trained dogs as service and therapy animals. She found animal-assisted therapy to be a great motivator for people of all ages and abilities. Rita spends 30 minutes each with the horse and the dog. She throws a ball and the dog runs to fetch it, she practices buttoning and shoe tying on the dog’s jacket and even writes her name on the chalkboard attached to it. Watson is a picture of patience. “He’ll wait around for the ball to be thrown and he’ll sit and wait as kids put the butter on crackers for him,” Basques said. To a student of occupational therapy, working with the animals provides an extra layer of skills. “In the occupational therapy world, this is something that a lot of people are getting interested in,” said Taelor Millsap, a student from Boston’s MGH Institute of Health Professions, who interned at The Therapy Farm during the summer. “It’s great for me, not only to work on my clinical skills and helping my clients and their families and supervisors, but it’s also really important to learn about the environment. “And safety is number one here,” she added. “It’s a very non-traditional, a very unique setting and I’m fortunate to be here,” said Brandon Ryan, a student from A.T. Still University, who also spent an internship here and appreciated the knowledge he gained in hippotherapy. Troy and Basques handle about 35 clients at the farm and visit about 40 more at two schools in Gilbert, where they work on handwriting skills, social skills, sensory regulation and anger management. Their calendar is mostly full, but they do have a few openings during the mornings. Details: thetherapyfarmaz.com.

EV official not happy with state curriculum decision BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services
T
he state Board of Education last week rebuffed a bid by schools chief Diane Douglas to adopt standards for public schools crafted by a Christian college for Arizona. But that didn’t sit well with Gilbert Councilman Jared Taylor, a member of the board who cast one of the dissenting votes in the 6-4 decision. Taylor said he hopes the board will revisit the decision later and said schools should be free to adopt either the standards approved by the board on Monday or the Hillsdale standards which were developed for charter schools. Taylor, the chief executive of Heritage Academy, a charter school, had more specific objections to making these standards mandatory. One, he said, was the failure to provide “age-appropriate” content to students in kindergarten through third grade. Whether schools may be allowed to use the standards crafted by Hillsdale College remains an open question. Like Taylor, other board members said it might be appropriate to have that as an option for schools that choose not to follow the standards for history, social studies and science that the board did adopt. The new standards incorporated some last-minute changes proposed by the Arizona Science Teachers Association. And the most notable change includes a clear statement that “the unity and diversity of organism, living and extinct, is the result of evolution.” Sara Torres, the group’s executive director, said these standards will “protect teachers of science from being put in a position of teaching non-scientific ideas.” After the vote, Douglas insisted she was not against the teaching of evolution. And Douglas said she even is willing to concede that “science, to some degree, has proven adaptation of species.” Where she parts company is taking the next steps. “Show me where any scientist has proven or replicated that life came from non-living matter or that, in the example we see in the museums, that man evolved from an ape,” Douglas said. “There’s no proof to that,” she continued. “Let’s teach our children all those different things and let them study them.” The process of revising the standards started two years ago. But they came into sharper focus after there were some revi-
sions, some initiated by Douglas and her aides. What they prepared to present to the board last month proved unacceptable to the science teachers. They sought – and got – restoration of language that says students should be asked to analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models “to make evidence-based predictions of the current rate and scale of global or regional climate change.” And they wanted students to be able to construction an evidence-based explanation for how the availability of natural resources and changes in climate have influenced human activity. And they specifically convince the board to adopt the language about evolution. Douglas, for her part, said her objections went beyond any specific change. She argued that the standards the board adopted are just minor modifications of what has been going on for decades, a system she said is failing Arizona students. “Hillsdale are the best standards for our students if – and that’s a big if – giving them the education to which they are entitled, which I define as for success post K-12 and as citizens of our great state and nation, is more than just lip service,” Douglas, who is also a member of the board, argued to others on the panel. But the Hillsdale proposal came under scrutiny at least in part amid concerns that they were not so much standards as actual curriculum of what is to be taught. And then there was the emphasis on Judeo-Christian teachings, far more than in current state standards in teaching comparative religions. For example, under the concept of lasting ideas from ancient civilizations, it mentions the idea of a “covenant” between God and man, and “important stories” like creation and the calling of Abraham. That continues into the New Testament with stories on the baptism of Jesus, walking on water and the resurrection. Douglas bemoaned the proposal as just another in a long line of so-called “reforms” that are `just more fads, gimmicks and tricks, with lots of testing added on for good measure.” And then, she said there has been “inadequate” input from parents and the community. “They should be telling us what they expect and what they need for their children’s education and not being told what will be put upon them,” she said.

Valley Partnership revisiting a massive Mesa project BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Tribune Staff Writer

ena Jones remembers visiting Sunshine Acres Children’s Home as a sixth-grader; Her parents encouraged her to clean out her closet and give clothing to children who needed it, like those at the Northeast Mesa charity. “At the time, Sunshine Acres asked us to bring a little donation or ice cream for kids,” Jones said. “Ice cream was a luxury item they couldn’t spend money on.” As a member of Valley Partnership, Jones is still helping Sunshine Acres. The advocacy group is bringing 300 community leaders and volunteers to the home for a day of service. From 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 3, they will build a park, garden, football field and playground for the Sunshine Acres youth. Volunteers are still needed; sign up at valleypartnership.org, under “calendar” and “annual community project event.” “Valley Partnership has been a wonderful partner to us,” said Shara Maxwell,

Native American group slates conference BY JESSICA SURIANO Tribune Contributor
T
he Native American Fatherhood and Families Association’s national conference is beginning soon in Scottsdale, this year welcoming attendees from both Native and non-Native families as well as advocates from various fields. After realizing most programs offered on reservations were tailored toward women and children, current NAFFA president Albert Pooley founded the organization in 2002 in Arizona. Today, NAFFA works with over 220 tribal nations. Conference attendees can expect to learn about NAFFA’s main curriculums targeted at improving parenting, strengthening intergenerational relationships and preventing family violence. Amy Fa’atoafe, executive director of NAFFA, said this is the first year the conference is open to non-Native families because people from all backgrounds could
benefit from its programs. She said at least 250 people are expected to attend. “The divorce rate is very high, suicide and substance abuse are all very high issues within our families and communities,” Fa’atoafe said. “Our conference is really a time where we’re able to pull together and have that network of other people from different nations to come together with the same goals and same ideas to pull together to strengthen our families and communities.” Service providers such as law enforcement and health professionals nationwide are also encouraged to attend the conference in order to learn from certified facilitators about these family issues. The organization is in the process of developing a new program for suicide prevention education. “If you work with Native Americans in any capacity, we’d really like to invite you See

Their parents have been incarcerated. Their parents have passed away. They’re all coming from different walks of life.

In March, NAFFA presented to the United Nations about its educational programs, and other countries’ representa-
tives expressed interest in implementing them too, according to Fa’atoafe. Brown said spreading NAFFA’s teachings and expanding its reach of resources and tools to more families has become a personal passion. “Family is the heart of us and this whole program was just life-changing for me, and I say that in a lot of different ways,” she said. “From the time I started it to where I’m at right now, I’ve had some trials and tribulations, but if it were not for this curriculum…I would have had a lot

A lot of the problems are generational. They don’t know how to get out of it. They’re struggling. “We give them hope and a way to get out of it. That’s what’s really neat. I love our families.

Mesa Scout undertook long-lasting Eagle rank project Tribune News Staff
M
any Boy Scouts who undertake a project to achieve Eagle rank want their work to endure. But Cody Martindale, a soon-to-be Eagle Scout in Mesa, really wanted his to last. So he created a desert oasis in Phoenix Papago Park with the help of family and friends. Cody said he wanted a project that he could go back to in 10 or 20 years and still see what he did, so planting trees seemed perfect because not only can he go back and see what he did but could also see the growth for over the years. “The project was a win-win for everyone,” said the 15-year-old, who has been a scout for seven years. Cody met some skepticism when he first contacted the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, but then suggested he plant indigenous ironwood and Palo Verde desert trees in the park, which is located next to the Phoenix Zoo. Park officials pointed out the need for trees to screen a large area with green
waste so that it would not be visible to the general public. Together, they determined that 32 trees would be planted and they created a list of projected materials. The Parks Department agreed to provide the trees and Cody was to provide the irrigation system components – and then the Parks Department would install the irrigation system in preparation for the planting of the trees by Cody. Cody took his project seriously and met with the Parks & Rec staff every week for six weeks. He approached local businesses – notably Whitfill Nursery and Home Depot – to secure donations of the materials he needed. “The hardest thing was getting the irrigation supplies,” he said. “I went to about 10 different Home Depot stores and some of them gave me materials or gift cards, but some never responded to my requests. I would hit about four or five stores a day and finally my persistence paid off. Ultimately, I got $200 worth of PVC pipe, adapters and bubblers donated – enough for 25 trees.” Planting day finally came and Cody hoped to round up 20 family and
friends. I got nearly three times that number and was by the support. They planted the 50-gallon trees, fill the holes and water the trees. A junior at Dobson High School, Cody is the son of Charlotte Potter and his stepdad Edwin Potter was his Boy Scout troop leader for a while and both his stepdad and mom were his Cub Scout den leaders for a few years. Cody was heartened by all the support – and by the way the project turned out. “The city got the labor and the trees planted and I win because I got my project done,” he said. “Now whenever I go to the zoo, I can see the trees growing. I will be able to see the effect of my work for many years to come.”

in events. Ronda Alcorn, Linda Countryman and Tara Pepiton founded WMF and each year host a variety of events designed to meet the needs of traumatic brain injury survivors. Each of these women has had a loved one survive an accident resulting in a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury. The Centers for Disease Control define such injury as “a disruption in normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury.” Ronda Alcorn said when her son was first diagnosed, a therapist explained the recovery process can be arduous and compared the effects to taking a fourdrawer file cabinet full of documents and throwing them all over the room and trying to put everything back in its original place.
Many survivors share mourning the loss of their old life and friends as well as grappling with deficits from their accident. As patients reintegrate themselves into their communities, they often encounter individuals who are largely uninformed and have unrealistic expectations. We’re Moving Forward has planned a number of events, including: • 2-7 p.m. Nov. 3. A Day in the Country offers hayrides, petting zoo, yard games, dinner, s’mores as well as the opportunity to give karaoke a try. The event is outside, and wheel chairs/walkers may make access on the uneven terrain difficult in certain areas. It will be at the Buhr Property, 12330 N. White Road, Maricopa. Free to survivors and immediate family; $7 per person otherwise. • 4:30-9:30 p.m. Dec. 1. Annual din-
ner and dance. This Gatsby-inspired soirée allows guests to dress in 1920’s attire and enjoy a catered meal at Desert Cross Lutheran Church, 8600 S. McClintock Drive, Tempe. Free to the first 200 survivors and/or immediate family; $15 per person for others. • March 3, 2019. “Survivor Celebration” place at Pioneer Community Park in Peoria to kick off brain injury awareness month. • March 31, 2019. “Play it Forward” annual golf tournament, Kokopelli Golf Club, 1800 W. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert. $100 per golfer through Jan. 31, and after that $125.

Both brothers, as most of the other Troop 999 Eagles who made that rank this year, earned far more than the 21 badges that comprise one of the eligibility requirements for Eagle rank. In addition to that requirement, Scouts also must complete a community service project that usually involves organizing a number of individuals in executing that effort. Barrett, who earned a total 31 badges, led a school supply drive for children at Sunshine Acres for his project while his brother Benson, who earned a total 36 badges, organized a crew to paint citrus

For Greg Hague, happiness is pursuing the worthwhile BY WAYNE SCHUTSKY Tribune Staff Writer
F
or Greg Hague, the work was always the reward. The Scottsdale-based serial entrepreneur has succeeded countless times over in a variety of real-estate-related endeavors and could have retired years ago, but he continues to plug away day after day because of a simple lesson he learned years ago from a close friend. At the time, Hague was making boatloads of money selling high-end homes in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley – and reaping the financial rewards of that success – though he is the first to admit that his spending had become excessive. “I had two airplanes, I had three very expensive cars and I had nine motorcycles…” Hague said. “I hired a guy just to keep my batteries charged and this is kind of the height of ridiculousness, right?” Despite all of the stuff he had, Hague still found himself feeling unhappy. He shared those feelings with a close friend and received some advice that changed his life. The friend said Hague did not know the definition of happiness. “He said ‘real happiness is the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from the enthusiastic pursuit of a worthwhile goal of your own choosing,’” Hague said. That heart-to-heart conversation changed his perspective on life. From that point on, Hague shed many of the opulent toys and assets he had accrued over the years – or, as he put it, “got rid of the crap.” He’s quick to point out that he still has nice things – like the Porsche in the parking lot outside the lobby of his office – but he does not let those things define him. That realignment of priorities partially explains why Hague – who is 70 years old and has been lauded in Forbes for his novel approach to real estate – continues to pursue new business ventures and ideas with the vigor of someone still trying to make it in the industry. He’s got his Hague Partners real estate firm that specializes in selling high-end homes in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and other parts of the Valley. The firm operates using Hague’s 22-Step Home Sale Formu-
la – the one written about in that Forbes’ article – to gin up interest in high-value properties and quickly find buyers. Hague designed the 22-step system to sell a home quickly by creating a glut of buyer demand through “premarketing” before the home ever hits the market. Hague’s popular “Sell Your Home in 72 Hours” campaign utilizes the model. “We can’t guarantee a home will sell in 72 hours because a seller might want to push it a little further and try to get a higher price, but we generate huge demand (early on) and so a high percentage sell in 72 hours, and we sell them all, it just may take a little longer.” He added, “The whole idea though is to make that first 72-hour launch weekend…a big deal.” Hague was inspired to develop the 22step system after watching the success Apple had when it first introduced the iPhone. “I was like, how can they do that?” Hague said, referencing the lines of people waiting to buy iPhones before stores even opened. “It turns out what Apple was doing is they were one of the first retailers, maybe the first, to ever heavily, heavily, heavily market products before they’d let you buy it.” A big part of that marketing effort involves the use of his BuyerHunt to give buyers sneak peaks at properties before they hit the MLS database or other online search engines. “They love that because it gives them a shot to be the first in the door to see if they like it or not,” he said. In addition to his brokerage, Hague also has his Real Estate Mavericks coaching company for real estate agents that he developed five or six years ago, which takes him on the road to speak to agents across the country. The program trains agents to “better sell homes” versus just listing a lot of properties, Hague said. In between his professional endeavors, Hague has also found the time to write a regular weekly column in the Paradise Valley Independent for the past 13 years. Despite his professional accomplishments, the column does not focus on real estate. Rather, it includes Hague’s outlook on
(Special to the Tribune)
Greg Hague’s 22-step home selling process relies heavily on premarketing efforts that include using an exclusive app to build up buyer interest before a house ever hits the market.
various topics like the keys to happiness, following your dreams or confronting your fears. Ever the entrepreneur, Hague said the column still has professional benefits because it helps him develop a personal connection with buyers and sellers in the community. Hague first came to the city in the early 1980s after his Cincinnati-based Hague Realtors went out of business. The business was successful in the 1970s but did not have enough capital to withstand the interest rate spikes that plagued the real estate industry at the time, Hague said. A former employee at his Cincinnati office moved to Scottsdale and invited Hague to visit. To hear him tell it, Scottsdale was a revelation and he immediately fell in love.
Hague extended his visit and then rented a home in Scottsdale and got his real estate license in Arizona. Two years later, he was one of the top home sellers in Arizona even though he only sold Scottsdale properties, primarily in McCormick Ranch, he said. Fast forward over 30 years and Hague is still happy to call the community home – though he now lives nearby in Paradise Valley. His professional speaking engagements and personal travel have taken him all over the world, but he still can’t think of a single place he would rather live. “I’ve traveled everywhere from Russia and all through Europe. I motorcycled through Africa,” Hague said. “I mean, I’ve really been around and I’ve never found one single place I would live over Scottsdale.”

Ohio transplants’ favorite ice cream followed them to Gilbert BY SRIANTHI PERERA Tribune Contributor
Y
oungstown, Ohio, transplants in Gilbert may – or may not – have heard the scoop. Their favorite ice cream, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, has followed them here. Dozens of former residents of the Rust Belt city, located halfway between Pittsburg and Cleveland, who stumbled upon the place have greeted local franchise owner Gary Kovach with cries of delight. There have been weekends when customers formed a line that snaked out the door into the parking lot. One family drove all the way from Cave Creek. And Handel’s, on the northeast corner of Val Vista and Guadalupe roads, hasn’t even held a grand opening or taken out a single page of advertising. The news has spread through word of mouth and sight. Among those who did a double take at the doorway of the trademark royal blue and white ice creamery recently is Sophia Fire, and her young daughter. Fire found out that her husband, Eddie, and Kovach hail from the same part of Youngstown. “I always tell my in-laws thank god be-

cause Handel’s isn’t in Arizona because I would be obese because this is the best ice cream in the whole world, and every time I go to Youngstown, I have to eat Handel’s every day because it’s a huge treat and I know I can’t get it once I leave,” she said. “I’m emotional being in there.” Kovach left a good job as an electrical contractor for General Motors and moved from Youngstown in 2016. His wife, Stephanie, was already here, living
in the house they own in Carefree, and employed. He had heard that Arizona could do with some good ice cream and knew that this brand would be a good fit. Established in 1945 by Youngstown resident Alice Handel, who used old-fashioned recipes with fresh fruit she picked from her own backyard, the ice cream has a devout following. Kovach grew up eating it. “We had Dairy Queen, Friendly’s and McDonalds; and then we had Handel’s. There was no skimping that went on. It was the go-to ice cream,” he said. With the Gilbert store, which is the 40th for Handel’s, Arizona joins California, Nevada and Oregon as the states out west that have locations. The brand is known for its treats made fresh daily at every site. “I’ve always wanted to do something significant, and I thought what’s more significant than bringing Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream to the state of Arizona?” Kovach asked. Handel’s menu features pops, hand packed quarts and pints, banana split, four-scoop samplers, sundaes, old fashioned milkshakes, smoothies, cones and waffle bowls as mainstays.
In Gilbert, 48 flavors are offered, and decreasing inventory is replenished daily on-site, which amounts to about 18-30 flavors. It only takes about 10 minutes to make a batch. The store has seating apart from a bench, so customers purchase and eat outside, in the vehicle or take it home. Most Handel’s locations are free-standing buildings where customers walk up to a window. Kovach wears his blue Handel’s t-shirt when he’s out and about in the area. That’s when he realized that there were plenty of former Youngstown residents here. “There’s not a day that goes by that people don’t thank us for opening here,” he said. “Somebody said recently ‘you guys have the best ice cream.’” While feeling overjoyed that Handel’s is nearby, Fire said some restraint should be in order, eating ice cream-wise. “Now that it’s here, I don’t have to feel the pressure of eating it every day. I’m so excited and I hope this place makes it, and everybody will find out that this is not ordinary ice cream,” she said. Handel’s Gilbert is at 1672 E. Guadalupe Road #101, Gilbert.

Hate chewing up our once common ground BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist
T
he pipe bombs, crudely constructed but effective in generating headlines, arrived on a Wednesday morning. CNN got one. Barack Obama was sent a package. Hillary Clinton as well. Two amateur bombs were intercepted on the way to California Rep. Maxine Waters. Another bomb, intended for former Attorney General Eric Holder, ended up at the office of Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the return addressee. While none of the packages targeting prominent Democrats detonated and the news reported no casualties, I’d argue that a wound was inflicted regardless – not to flesh, but to what little common ground still unites the warring political tribes who populate these allegedly United States. Not long ago, the mailing of crude killing machines to targets chosen purely for their politics would have created a mo-
ment of national unity, a ceasefire from our daily political dumpster fire. Collectively, we would have breathed deep and recalled that some things matter more than homicide by political campaign and TV commercial. Not anymore. Everywhere you looked Wednesday, you saw people taking exactly the wrong lesson from this moment. In Liberal World, the pipe bombs immediately were laid at the feet of President Trump, the left’s Hater in Chief. CNN President Jeff Zucker blogged: “The President, and especially the White House Press Secretary, should understand their words matter. Thus far, they have shown no comprehension of that.” The New York Times made it clear how they interpreted the bomb deliveries in their homepage headline: “Pipe Bombs Sent To Figures Vilified By The Political Right.” Meanwhile, Twitter brimmed with lefty name-calling: “Jesus! Bombs sent to the Clintons, President Obama, CNN, and others. This is what the Orange S–-bag’s ‘rhetoric’ has brought
about! F--k you, Trump, and the elephant you rode in on!” The MAGA World response? It ranged between reminders of liberal attacks on conservatives and accusations that the bombs were a left-wing hoax. “It’s a high probability that the whole thing is set up as a false flag to gain sympathy for the Democrats,” said right-wing radio gasbag Michael Savage. “And to get our minds off the hordes of illegal aliens approaching our southern border.” To his credit, President Trump called for unity: “We have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America.” He then remained relatively civil for a few hours, so much so that he congratulated himself at a rally in Wisconsin Wednesday night. “Let’s get along,” said the President. “By the way, do you see how nice I’m behaving tonight? Have you ever seen this?” That lasted until Thursday morning,
when Trump tweeted: “A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!” To recap, the left is to blame for pipe bombs sent to the left. Or the media. Or the vilifying right. Or the whole thing is made up because, you know, election! The moral missed amid the shouting? There is only moral low ground being occupied in the ugly conflict consuming us. Both tribes emanate hate. Both tribes see not human beings, Americans of differing beliefs and values, but enemies who demand destruction. Both tribes stand complicit in chewing up the once common ground beneath our feet. The day the bombs came shouldn’t have been a “Look at what you caused!” moment. It should have been, could have been, “Look at what we have become.”
Elections: Let hope, not fear be your guide BY RABBI DEAN SHAPIRO Tribune Guest Writer
I
loved Halloween as a boy. I’d wander through the streets near my house collecting goodies, convinced for all the world that my neighbors believed an actual skeleton was strolling through town. We knew the people who lived near us – if not by name, than by the loot they gave. There was the family who handed out full-sized chocolate bars, the one who gave apples and the man who barbequed hot dogs on his lawn. I’d devour most of my candy that very night. I remember the Halloween it all changed. The hot dogs were suddenly gone, as was the fruit. Those homeowners meant us no harm, but they knew our parents shouldn’t allow us to accept such treats – after all, sickos might hide razor
blades to slice our tongues, or lace them with poison. Invisible walls were erected that night, as we started to see one another not as potential friends, but as potential threats. How did it happen, that we became so afraid of one another? As I watch the political commercials that barrage us this season, I’m struck by how regularly the “fear card” is played. If we don’t vote a certain way, criminal immigrants will overrun our city! Seniors’ power bills will increase! Taxes will skyrocket! Marriage itself will be undermined! These claims are repeated despite a lack of evidence. We are told to focus only on avoiding the downside and not to hope for better, cleaner, more equal lives. I can’t help but wonder: who benefits from that? Voting is meant to be a rational process, but so often it’s a popularity contest. It’s influenced by the campaigns’ marketing
efforts and their ability to cause us to fear. The Torah instructs us “al tirah – do not fear.” In fact, this commandment is the most often repeated of the entire Torah, occurring 80 times in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Why does the Torah emphasize refusing to fear so vehemently? Perhaps because it’s important. Fear leads us to make poor decisions. When we’re afraid, we react instead of act. We think short term. We fail to listen and to see what’s possible. Perhaps the Torah repeats the admonition not to fear because fear is difficult to avoid. Fear is a fundamental human instinct, hardwired into the core of our brain. There are times when it’s wise to fear. Fear can be overwhelming and hard to overcome. When we fear, we shut ourselves down. We become small and hardened. We fail to think about other people’s experiences, needs, vulnerabilities, hopes. In seeking
to preserve what we have, we fail to imagine what we might become. I believe we are greater than that, in every way. I want initiatives and leaders who will help us build a healthier, more equitable future for all our children. While there are real things to be afraid of in this world, there are also boogey-men placed in our way by others who want to manipulate us into voting their way. On Nov. 6 and Oct. 31, let’s remember the Bible’s advice: Do Not Fear. Instead, let’s imagine how life could be: a healthy planet, quality education for all, civil liberties protected. Rather than running away from something scary, let’s walk towards something wonderful. When I vote this year, whether for candidates or initiatives, I’ll do so from a place of hope. — Rabbi Dean Shapiro is the spiritual leader of Temple Emanuel of Tempe.

County supports efforts to promote giving that changes lives BY DENNY BARNEY Tribune Guest Writer
T
he holidays are a great time to reflect upon how we can best help those who are less fortunate. And sadly, in Maricopa County, there are too many people who are struggling with the most basic of human needs: food, clothing and shelter. At the beginning of the year, the Maricopa Association of Government’s Point-in-Time Homeless Count found nearly 6,300 people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County. That number has been growing and increasingly includes young adults. Each person has his or her own path to homelessness. Some get there because of some bad decisions. Others, due to a few bad breaks. From a wide lens, we can see mental health issues and the opioid crisis as contributing factors to growing homelessness. And as our economy improves, affordable housing can be a challenge even for people who
work hard. The question is: how can you and I give those experiencing homelessness the best opportunity to find stability and improve their quality of life? Many families have a tradition of service to the homeless during the holiday season. Some people volunteer in a controlled environment such as the St. Vincent de Paul dining rooms spread out across the Valley (including in Mesa) and find that service to be rewarding. Here’s one thing to keep in mind for those of you who give back in this manner: the need is greater on July 25 than on Nov. 25 or Dec. 25. Faith-based groups and nonprofits that serve meals to the homeless are always inundated with volunteers around the holidays but are often short-handed at other times of the year. St. Vincent de Paul, for example, needs 250 people a day in 10 different locations performing 32 different types of service every day of the year. And they are just one organization. Some people prefer to make meals
or gather supplies and personally hand them out to people on the streets, especially at Thanksgiving. There’s so much care and love that goes into this type of giving, but there are unintended consequences. The reality is, there’s no shortage of meals for those experiencing homelessness around the holidays. The sandwiches you serve on the streets can lead to excess trash, foodborne illness and safety issues in neighborhoods. In many cases, serving on the streets discourages people from engaging with nonprofits trying to connect them with housing and other services that can help them make long-term changes in their lives. Maricopa County works with dedicated and experienced partners across the Valley to provide critical services to those experiencing homelessness. We look at homelessness as a regional issue and have partnered with local communities and nonprofits on solutions that provide shelter services, rapid rehousing, employment assistance and medical and mental health services to homeless
individuals across Maricopa County. Here in the East Valley, those partners include A New Leaf, Community Bridges, AZCEND and Lutheran Social Services. I encourage you to ask the organizations above and others providing support services in your community how you can best help their mission. Not sure where to start? Visit GiveSmartAZ.org. This is the website for the Healthy Giving Council, a coalition of concerned citizens, faith leaders, social service providers, neighborhood stakeholders, businesses and others to promote healthy and sustainable giving year-round. Maricopa County is a proud supporter of the Healthy Giving Council’s efforts to promote giving that considers what’s best for the community and the individual and which can help change lives for the long-term. Won’t you join us? - Denny Barney is a Gilbert resident, a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and president/CEO of the East Valley Partnership.

Nutrition ignored in discussion on teen suicides in the region
We live in the information age, yet our solutions to teen suicide are in the dark ages. As a mother of teenagers, I was saddened by the recent headline regarding the high numbers of teens taking their lives in the East Valley. The article noted the increased community awareness and behavioral prevention strategies but failed to include a key component of mental health. The fact that symptoms of depression are often a sign that the body is crying out for nutrition. With teens eating less than ideal diets full of sodas and lattes, their bodies have been depleted of life sustaining minerals, especially magnesium, that affect brain chemistry, mood, the nervous system and sleep. Sleep deprivation alone results in increased negative mood states such as anxiety and depression. Numerous studies also show the direct link between a lack of sunlight/vitamin D and depression. Despite being in the valley of the sun, with so many teens spending most of their time indoors and wearing sunglasses and sunblock when outside, they are unable to get the necessary ultraviolet rays into their retinas and skin the body needs to create vitamin D and the brain needs to function optimally. Many teens have also been treated with antibiotics which decimate the good bacteria in the digestive track, which is where serotonin and other feel good neurotransmitters are produced in what is known as the enteric brain. There is a safer and cheaper alternative to alleviating depression and suicidal thoughts. By applying
BE DEBT FREE in 24–48 months!
Occam's razor (the simplest solution tends to be the correct solution), we can help prevent the tragic loss of young lives by empowering teens with simple and inexpensive steps to better mental health – such as taking frequent Epsom salt baths, a form of magnesium that can positively transform a person’s mental state overnight. Taking a break from tech devices and going out in the sun without sunglasses or sunscreen for a few minutes a day can also help the brain function better (If you supplement with vitamin D, you also need to take vitamin K2 and magnesium because they work in tandem). In addition, ingesting high potency live probiotics can rebuild the enteric bacteria of the digestive track. Behavioral/talk therapy has been around for decades, yet teen suicide continues to rise. Pharmaceutical antidepressants aren’t the answer either since their package inserts state that common side effects include depression and suicidal thoughts in teens and children. While talking to a friend or counselor about problems can be helpful, it doesn’t address a large underlying problem of the brain-body connection affected by poor nutrition, inadequate sleep, too many antibiotics and not enough sunlight. It’s time we take a holistic approach utilizing cutting edge research and recognize that mental health requires body health. -Natasha Pizorno

Skyline’s Hiapo latest big hit in long family line in volleyball BY ALEXANDRA COOK Tribune Contributing Writer
T
wo years ago, Kamaile Hiapo had the chance to play on one of the top high school volleyball teams in Arizona. Instead, she chose to play in a program that never has reached the state championship: her mom’s. Hiapo wanted to help build Skyline High into a championship-caliber program and leave a legacy. Vee Hiapo, Kamaile’s mother and Skyline’s volleyball coach, remembers Kamaile telling her, “You taught me how to help people and I don’t need people to make me better, I can help them become better.” The Class 6A state volleyball playoffs begin Tuesday, Oct. 30. The state-championship match is 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, at Arizona State. Hiapo is a third-generation volleyball player in a family of fierce competitors. Hiapo’s parents and siblings all played volleyball in college. Her mother played on a U.S. national team. Her grandfather, Fred Hiapo, is the legend. He was a 30-time outrigger canoe All-American. Hiapo holds him closest, she said. She looked up to him. Hiapo had hoped that he would watch her play in college. He passed away last year. He no doubt would be proud of her. Hiapo began playing competitive volleyball at 5. By eighth grade, she was
Vee Hiapo said. In one practice, Hiapo took 320 swings, nearly three times the usual number. The feat is extremely rare, especially for a short hitter like Hiapo. “My body gets tired but I still want to keep going,” Kamaile said. Hiapo is a rare athlete who will help others grow into better athletes, her teammates say. “She teaches us on the court.

She wanted to give back more than anything to her, she said. “Her thoughts are, ‘I’m already going to to the state and verbally committed to the University of Arizona. Her goal is to help college. Let me help you,’” Vee Hiapo said. Clearly, Hiapo and her family have a the Wildcats win their first volleyball title. Her offer was historic.

Hiapo said. Next summer, she will be looking forward to playing volleyball internationally for a couple weeks in Europe. There is one day each week, however, when there is no volleyball for the Hiapo family: Sunday is a day for rest and religion. Hiapo believes in this so strongly that she feels uncomfortable playing on Sundays. She talked to colleges about her beliefs. She was pleased to learn that most respect them. “I like making my family proud and bringing honor to my family,” Hiapo said. “I know the level I want to be at. I’m not there yet, so I just want to keep progressing and be the best that I can be.”

Hamilton golfer Bae has the drive of a champion BY JULIA SORGIE Tribune Contributing Writer
A
ccording to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, there are nearly 8 million students in high school athletics. About 480,000 of them move on to college competition. Meet Hamilton High’s Jenny Bae, whose skills in golf position her to make the field. After finishing third by 3 strokes last year as a sophomore in the Division I state tournament, she is shooting to move up and possibly win the title as a junior. The state tournament is Monday, Oct. 29, and Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Omni National Tucson.
A day in her life is pretty focused. “I go to school, study, do my homework and study for it, and then I go and practice for three and a half hours,” Bae said. Bae has been playing since she was 6, and competitively for the past five years. “I knew she was a well-known player,” said Jackie Walker, Hamilton golf coach, who is new to the program this season. “She is very disciplined and consistent. She’s golf all the way.” Upon meeting Bae and seeing her work during practice, her focus on her game and commitment to her team were obvious to Walker right away. Being a student-athlete is demanding. Balancing academics and athletics can be
challenging, but Bae understands how to be successful in both. “I always make sure I complete all my homework and study for it, and then I practice golf. It’s tiring,” she said. Her work ethic pays off, and both her coach and teammates notice. “She’s always grinding. If everybody’s talking during team practice, she’ll be hitting ball after ball after ball,” said teammate Victoria Stitt. “Sometimes, she’ll join in on conversation but she’s so focused on her game. “She’s one of the best on the team and has a lot of respect for everybody. I hope she keeps going with golf and goes into the LPGA.”

Hamilton High golfer Jenny Bae, third in the state championships last year as a sophomore, hopes to improve on that in this year’s championships this week.

The Struts want to step beyond the Jagger and Mercury comparisons MCKAYLA HULL GETOUT Contributing Writer
ing for The Rolling Stones before their 2016 debut, Everybody Wants. The Struts’ also shared the stage with The Who and Foo Fighters, but Spiller still thinks the band is struggling. “We’re struggling and clawing now, but just not as intensely as we were back in the day,” he said. “You will be on a six-month high and things are going really well and then something happens and it makes things a little bit more difficult. You always get back out there, though.” It helps that The Struts embody genuine rock ‘n’ roll. With heavy guitar and electric vocals, The Struts transport listeners to the 1970s. Still, Spiller wants to take rock “somewhere new, no regurgitation.”
T
he Struts front man Luke Spiller has been compared to Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury. While he finds this flattering, he doesn’t always want to be known for that. “In 10 years’ time, if people were sort of suggesting I was nothing but a Queen tribute act, then I’d probably decided to pack it in,” Spiller said with his English accent. “There are a lot worse people to be compared to. I could sit here and moan and say, ‘I wish I could be known for being myself,’ but again, no one really knows who we are.” Fans can judge for themselves when the English rockers perform at the Marquee in Tempe on Friday, Nov. 2, as part of their Body Talks Tour. The date is shortly after The Struts’ second album, Young & Dangerous, hits stores. “We’re crafting a whole new show,” Spiller said. “We’re adding a lot of Album 2 material into the set, which is going to be really exciting for us because we’ve been playing the songs from the first album for quite a while.” The jaunt is named after its latest single, “Body Talks,” which features a duet with pop
