Kyl planning on staying put in Senate BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer

.S. Sen. Jon Kyl plans to remain in his seat until a special election is called to fill the late John McCain’s term. But whether that will still happen in the wake of U.S. Rep. Martha McSally’s Senate election loss to Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema remains to be seen. “I’m going to talk to the Governor (Doug Ducey) about that,” Kyl told the Tribune on Nov. 9, several days after touring Mesa. He joked, “You’ll be the second to know.” Ducey’s spokesman did not return a request for comment.

Kyl was appointed by Ducey after U.S. Sen. John McCain’s death in August. At the time of his appointment in early September, Kyl said he would serve through the start of the next Congress in January, but he always left open the possibility he could remain until a special election is called in 2020 to fill the remaining two years of McCain’s term. “I said I would serve until the end of the term,” Kyl said. Sinema declared victory on Nov. 12 after McSally conceded. At the time of Kyl’s appointment, political insiders were speculating he would step down to make way for McSally in case she lost. Now that it’s happened, it’s anyone’s guess

what he’ll do, although Kyl told the Tribune that McSally’s fate had no bearing on his timetable for staying. “Obviously, I’m supporting McSally,” Kyl said before Sinema was declared the winner. Once McSally conceded, Kyl issued a statement of congratulations to Arizona’s first female senator. “Congratulations to Senator-elect Kyrsten Sinema on winning a hard-fought race to represent the people of Arizona in the United States Senate,” he wrote. “Having recently returned to the Senate after a fiveyear absence, I have been reminded what an See

he mountainous ridge of Paradise, California, is the kind of place you go to get away from it all – not experience a living hell. But from the safety of his mother’s Mesa home, Scot Rayl is still trying to come to grips with the hell he experienced last week in Paradise as fire obliterated the community. Rayl’s sister, Chandler resident Jennifer Simas, knew she had to do something to help the devastated community the moment her mother broke the awful news about the town where her brother lived, as well as other assorted family members. To help ease that suffering, Simas is organizing an East Valley donation drive with the help of a Gilbert nonprofit. “My mom called me and she said, ‘Paradise is on fire. I want to stay close to the phone,’” Simas said. “Every year they evacuate everybody because of fire (danger). This time, it couldn’t be saved.” At the time, Scot, a Paradise resident, didn’t know if he was going to live or become one of the dozens killed in the worst wildfire in California history. Then again, nobody in the Northern California community of nearly 27,000 people

Mesa mayor sees no more elections for sports complex BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor

esa Mayor John Giles doubts voters will get another crack at the Mesa Plays sports complex after this month’s election defeat. “Youth sports and athletics are important components to our city’s quality of life, but at this point, I don’t see it being brought back to the City Council for referral to a future ballot,” Giles told The Tribune. “The voters of Mesa voiced their opinion, and Mesa Plays will have to find another way to move forward.” Advocates of the project hope to do just that – but how the project could be built without city backing is unclear. Rich Adams, chairman of the Mesa Plays campaign committee, said “future steps” for the project will be considered after all the ballots are counted. “It has a heartbeat,” Adams said. “And it has a heartbeat because it’s a good thing for the community,” helping to fill a vast need for youth athletic facilities. “It’s still well alive,” Adams said, although advocates are nowhere near decisions on the shape and timing of future proposals. As ballot counting dragged on the last week, Mesa Plays trailed by nearly 9,000 votes and was showing no signs of making up any ground. A hotel bed-tax increase that would have helped fund the project also trailed, but by a much closer margin. The complex had broad support from civic leaders and sports figures, many of whom had appeared at a June 14 City Council meeting to advocate its inclusion on the ballot. By their reckoning, it would bring 350,000 visitors to town every year – people who would pump $200 million a year into the local economy. It would elevate Mesa’s national reputation. It would show folks that Mesa is willing to invest in its future and its youth.

The council later voted 6-1 to put it on the ballot, with Jeremy Whittaker dissenting. Council members knew it was something of a risk. Giles, in a previous council meeting, already had mused about a “very imposing” local ballot that included not only two City Council races but also “home rule” budget authorization, a local sales-tax hike, two city bond proposals, plus bond and budget override questions for Mesa Public Schools. In the end, it was too much for voters to swallow in one bite. Mesa got most of what it wanted with voter agreement for home rule, the salestax hike and the bonds. But only 47 percent of voters backed Mesa Plays. The sports complex has been on the drawing boards for years, largely at the behest of Visit Mesa. The city’s tourismpromotion bureau has heavily promoted amateur athletics as a draw for visitors. The vision included 15 soccer fields, 1,620 parking spots and two restrooms at Red Mountain Park, at a cost of $30 million. These facilities would have been adjacent to nine community soccer fields that will be built with the proceeds from one of the newly approved bond packages. A 110,000-square-foot indoor field house originally was proposed as part of Mesa Plays, but it was omitted from the ballot proposition. That shaved $27 million off the price tag. City officials said the project would have paid for itself, assuming voter approval for raising the hotel bed tax to 6 percent from its current 5 percent. Field rentals, concessions and increased sales-tax revenue from people using the complex would have covered the rest of the construction and operation costs, according to city projections. Adams, who also is chairman of the Visit Mesa board, said deceptive arguments by opponents may have played a role in

the outcome. “There was some opposition out there that I think … they were willing to say anything necessary to try to defeat what we were working on,” Adams said. Indeed, an argument for which opponents bought space in the city’s official voter information pamphlet contained misinformation over the difference between Mesa Plays and the adjacent community fields, and the difference in financing methods for the two complexes. In the election pamphlet, several Mesa residents seemed to conflate the Mesa Plays fields with the nine others on the ballot as part of the parks and cultural bond question. They asserted that Mesa Plays would require $2 million per year in secondary property-tax revenue, which was not true. Property taxes will pay for the nine community fields but would not have financed Mesa Plays. The same ballot argument falsely asserted that the Mesa Plays soccer fields would have cost $55 million instead of the actual $30 million, and also falsely stated that the field house was part of the ballot proposal. Some opposition also surfaced from neighbors who posted fliers on area mailboxes warning that the project would cause crime, traffic and “light pollution” to increase while also reducing property values. Because the Mesa Plays fields would not have been paid for with general-obligation bonds, the ballot measure would not have been needed except for an amendment to the city charter that voters approved in 2004. In the wake of a failed proposal to build an Arizona Cardinals stadium and anger in some quarters over construction of the Mesa Arts Center, voters approved a provision requiring an election whenever the city proposes spending more than $1.5 million on a sports, entertainment or meeting facility.

Slo-mo count shows school bond vote leaning ‘yes’ BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

t looks like Mesa Public Schools students might get their new air-conditioned buses and new computers in classrooms after all, as a bond issue reversed course last week from early returns and began building a narrow lead in the slow-motion general election count. Although the $300-million bond issue has been trending toward approval, build-

ing a narrow 717-vote lead, the outcome will remain in doubt until thousands of ballots are tabulated by the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office. Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes has focused on counting as many ballots as possible, including early ballots that were dropped off at polling places on election day. But as of the Tribune’s deadline Friday, more than 85,000 ballots remained uncounted and it was unclear when Fontes’ crew would finish. Throughout

last week, the office was counting fewer each day after initially paring down some 375,000 ballots uncounted on Nov. 7 to about 266,000 on Nov. 9. When early returns made it appear the bond issue was headed toward rejection by voters, MPS Superintendent Ember Conley adopted immediate austerity moves. She implemented a hiring freeze and halted further capital improvements, trying to save every nickel remaining from a See

Chandler couple feels pain of losing a local hero BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer

udra Owens always knew Brett Taylor was destined for greatness. That’s what made his death extra tough to take. Taylor, a U.S. Army major and a 1997 Chandler High School graduate, was killed in action Nov. 3 while training an Afghan Army commando battalion near Kabul, Afghanistan. “He was the type of guy who was the salt of the earth,” Owens said. “I can’t think of anybody the kind of caliber he was. Such integrity and honesty.” Owens’ husband, Justin, was best friends with Taylor in high school – where they served on the student council together – and Owens stood in at Taylor’s wedding. They recalled the happy times they had with Taylor, including one night as teenagers when their group of friends went bowling together. Instead of going inside with the rest of the group, Taylor remained at his truck. Audra Owens became concerned, so she went outside to investigate, only to find Taylor standing outside the truck listening to talk radio. “I’m on hold, and I’m going to be on the show,” Owens recalls Taylor saying. She noticed his cellphone and stayed to listen to him discuss politics from the radio. “I thought, ‘How many 19-year-olds listen to talk radio?” she said. “What 19-year-old is that interested in our country? We all joked we would be voting for him for president in the future, even in high school.” Taylor’s death has touched the Chandler community who knew him and his family since they arrived in the area in the early 1990s. He was student body president his senior year at Chandler and also an Eagle Scout. “He always had his eyes set for ways he could serve and lead,” Audra Owens said. “He was just kind of that person. He didn’t do it for power or popularity. That was just him. Brent was super-responsible.” But he also had a fun side, too, she said. “Brent and Justin just had a lot of fun planning and contriving these grand schemes of theirs, whether it was in student council or their friends group,” she said. “They would plan dances outside of school or big group dates. They were both doers.” While Taylor’s death is mourned locally,

their burdens may be lifted, and that the hearts of all Utahns will reach out to comfort them in their grief,” the governor wrote. Taylor was shot and killed just two days before the U.S. midterm election. That was an ironic twist of fate because in his final Facebook post he urged people to exercise “their precious right to vote.” “It was beautiful to see over fourmillion Afghan men and women brave threats and deadly attacks to vote in Afg h a n i s t a n’s (Special to the Progress) first parliaU.S. Army Major Brett Taylor, a 1997 Chandler High graduate, was killed in mentary elecAfghanistan Nov. 3, becoming the second Chandler native to die in combat this tions in eight year. years,” Taylor wrote. “The it’s been felt even deeper in Utah, where he was the mayor of North Ogden and an strong turnout, despite the attacks and challenges, was a success for the long-sufArmy major. U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, wrote fering people of Afghanistan and for the

Of all the tours he went on, this was probably the “tour I was least concerned about. And this is the one he didn’t come home from.”

– Audra Owens

on Twitter, “Brent was a hero, a patriot, a wonderful father, and a dear friend. News of his death in Afghanistan is devastating.” Utah Gov. Gary Herbert issued a statement that called Taylor a “brave and selfless soldier.” “The entire Herbert family mourns with this soldier’s family and we pray that

cause of human freedom.” Taylor was due to return to North Ogden and his mayoral duties in January. Instead, his body was flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where his wife, Jennie, and two of their seven children awaited. “To say our hearts are anything less than

shattered would be nothing less than true deceit,” Jennie Taylor wrote in a statement. “And yet to deny the sacred honor that is to stand that close to some of the freshest blood that has been spilled for our country would be absolute blasphemy.” Taylor was deployed to Afghanistan in January on what was his second tour there and fourth deployment of his 10-year military career. He served as an intelligence officer with Joint Force Headquarters. Defense department officials believe his attacker was a member of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces. That man was in turn killed by other Afghan forces. Audra Owens first saw the news of his death while scrolling on Facebook. She is a member of the North Odgen city page, just so she could follow Taylor’s progress. “I loved watching him maintain his composure to all the witty complaints (at city council meetings),” Owens said. “I love watching him in action.” But then she saw some comments on the page she just didn’t want to believe. “I thought it had to be a hoax at first,” Owens said. “We just took turns sobbing.” Taylor had served three previous Army deployments: Mosul, Iraq (2007); Baghdad (2008); and Kunduz, Afghanistan (2012). He was awarded a Purple Heart medal and a Bronze Star medal for exceptionally meritorious service during Operation Iraqi Freedom. “Of all the tours he went on, this was probably the tour I was least concerned about,” Audra Owens said. “And this is the one he didn’t come home from.” The Taylors’ seven children – Megan, 13; Lincoln, 11; Alex, 9; Jacob, 7; Ellie, 5; Jonathan, 2; and Caroline, 11 months – are now the beneficiaries of a GoFundMe page. At last check, organizers appeared close to their $550,000 goal. Taylor was born July 6, 1979, in Ogden, Utah, the second of eight children of Stephen and Tamara Jones Taylor. He came from a strong military family with five of his brothers joining him in the Army National Guard. While growing up, the Taylor family lived in Utah and California before settling in Arizona in 1991. Taylor’s obit mentions he was a “man of faith.” As a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served a two-year mission in Brazil between 1998 and 2000. He met Jennie Ashworth after his mission while in college at Brigham Young See

honor it is to represent Arizona citizens in their national government. “I am confident that Senator-elect Sinema, with her experience in the House of Representatives, will effectively carry out this responsibility, and I wish her the very best.” Arizona law allows the governor to pick a replacement for a senator until a special election is called. At the time of his selection, Ducey praised Kyl’s previous experience as a senator, adding “now is not the time for on-the-job training.” Kyl has stressed he has no intention of running in the special election or beyond, meaning he’ll be in the seat until 2020 at the latest. Kyl returned to Washington, D.C., last week for a lame duck session of Congress. “With Democratic control of the house, it makes it less likely they’ll want to do anything in the lame duck session,” Kyl said. He also stepped up his visibility last week, submitting several pieces of proposed legislation and issuing press releases about them.

2012 bond issue approved by voters. But Helen Hollands, a district spokeswoman, said school officials would revert back to the original, much-needed plan for improvements if the final election count shows voters approving the bond issues. In contrast, a related measure to increase the budget override from 10 percent to 15 percent, mostly to pay for salary increases required to comply with Arizona’s higher minimum, was headed toward almost a certain defeat, trailing by more than 2,500 votes. “We took a prudent pause,’’ Holland said. “Obviously, the trends of the past few days are certainly positive for us. We hope it continues.’’ She said the tight bond election is a first – at least in recent memory – for the district since with past bond issues were easily approved by varying margins of victory. “This would be the first time the results have reversed trends from a negative to a positive,’’ Hollands said. If the bond issue is approved, the district will replace 300 buses during a sixyear period, including 100 that do not have air conditioning.

Mesa.” At the Mesa Defense and Industry Council meeting, Kyl learned about the East Valley’s need for even more skilled technology workers to work on private defense projects. “They’re needing more and more access to people who have specific skills and training, like welding,” Kyle said. “That’s one of the EVIT programs, and I said we should get them together. Hopefully, they will be doing that.” Kyl received a homework assignment after meeting with the Gateway Airport Authority. “I’m going to write a letter to ask for the grant money for funding for the new Gateway control tower,” he said. “They need a little push to get the grant.” The airport has some personal interest to Kyl, as he used to fly Air Force T-38 planes out of the airport when it was still Williams Air Force Base. Kyl said he’s impressed with the overall health of the East Valley jobs economy. “It’s putting pressure on community colleges and schools like EVIT to produce students who can meet the very tight job market,” Kyl said. Kyl’s tour of the state included stops in other Arizona cities – or as he calls it, “the places we couldn’t get done before the election.” Aging computers would be replaced to help students learn through technology, and decades-old schools would receive much-needed and long-delayed maintenance that would make energy consumption more efficient. And the district plans to use some money to increase security, an issue that has become more pressing in light of mass shootings on out of state campuses. The slo-mo ballot counting also has delayed a final resolution in two district council races, while there appears to be no sign of a change in early unofficial results in the four-way race for two MPS school board seats. Incumbent Francisco Heredia has built a 468-vote lead in District Three, which includes west Mesa and Dobson Ranch, over challenger Mark Yarbrough. Downtown activist Jen Duff also is leading by 436 votes over Jake Brown in District Four, which includes central Mesa. The race will fill the seat of outgoing Councilmember Chris Glover. Although Mesa has had female council members and even a female mayor in the past, Duff would join a previously allmale council if she is elected. In the school board race, Marcie Hutchinson and Jenny Robinson remained well ahead of their two rivals.

Arizona AG asks U.S. high court to reinstate no-bail-for-rapists law BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

he state Attorney General’s Office is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a voter-approved provision of the Arizona Constitution which allows accused rapists to be held without bail while awaiting trial. In legal papers filed in Washington, Assistant Attorney General Rusty Crandell argued that the state’s high court – or at least a majority of the justices here – ignored legal precedent in concluding earlier this year that pretrial detention without bail is permissible only when there is a “legitimate and compelling’’ purpose and that restriction is narrowly focused. Justice Ann Scott Timmer, writing for the majority, said that means defendants are constitutionally entitled to be released pending trial when there is no showing they will be a danger to the community. But Crandell said that the crime of rape is “a uniquely horrific act’’ and there is a “frightening and high risk’’ that sex offenders will reoffend. He also said that the law – the one the Arizona justices overturned – has procedural safeguards. That includes requiring prosecutors to prove to a judge that “the proof is evident or the presumption great’’ that the defendant did, in fact, commit the crime. And Crandell took a slap at the justices who voted to void the law. He said courts should invalidate statutes only when necessary to comply with the Constitution “while leaving in place as much of the legislature’s work as possible.’’ “The Arizona Supreme Court has made a practice of doing the opposite,’’ Crandell told the nation’s high court. Prior to 2002, it was presumed that people charged with a crime were entitled to bail. There were only a few exceptions, like those for which the death penalty could be imposed, offenses committed while someone already was out on bail, and felonies where the person charged poses a substantial danger to other and no conditions of release could assure safety. The 2002 voter-approved state constitutional amendment added sex offenses to that list. This case involves Guy Goodman, who was charged with rape. At a pretrial hearing, a police officer testified that Goodwin, a guest in the victim’s home after a night of socializing, molested her while she was sleeping. The officer

also said that Goodman, when confronted with DNA evidence, confirmed the sexual assault. A Maricopa County court commissioner said while there was evidence Goodman committed the offense, prosecutors failed to show he posed a “substantial danger to other persons in the community.’’ At least part of that was based on the fact there was no evidence he had committed similar crimes in the seven years between the incident and his arrest or threatened the victim. Instead, the commissioner set bail at $70,000, requiring electronic monitoring of his movements, and imposed other conditions like not possessing any weapons. The state Court of Appeals overturned that decision. But in a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said the 2002 no-bail constitutional provision could not stand. Timmer, in writing the majority opinion, said one problem with the 2002 ballot measure is it did not provide any procedures to determine whether someone charged with rape would pose a danger if allowed out on bail. Crandell, in his pleadings to the U.S. Supreme Court, said Timmer and her three colleagues were off base in making that a requirement for prosecutors to prove. “This court has repeatedly recognized that the government’s regulatory interest in community safety can, in appropriate circumstances, outweigh an individual’s liberty interest,’’ he wrote. And Crandell took particular aim at the Arizona justices for saying prosecutors have to show there is a danger to the community. “Unfortunately, there is no way to predict with confidence when or whether a particular sex offender will reoffend,’’ he said. And Crandell said in areas like these which are “fraught with medical and scientific uncertainties’’ court should not rewrite laws but instead “afford legislatures the widest latitude.’’ If nothing else, Crandell said, the Arizona Supreme Court should have limited its ruling to the Goodman case and not voided the voter-approved law entirely. “The Constitution is not so blunt and instrument,’’ Crandell continued. “If anything, it calls for judicial restraint in invalidating the work of the legislative branch or, as here, the people acting through direct democracy.’’ The court had not decided whether to hear the state’s appeal.

riencing a real-life version of the worst dream ever. The fire moved up the ridge at one acre per second, giving residents almost no time to evacuate. Rayl jumped into his van, leaving his burning house behind to begin the race of his life down the mountain to Chico, the nearest safety zone about 10 miles away. He navigated a road that was littered with abandoned cars as flames rose on both sides. The heat was so intense it caused metal from some vehicles to melt onto the asphalt. He sped past propane tanks that exploded one by one as the wind-aided flames torched homes, buildings and anything else in its path. Rayl heard people screaming and crying. He watched them running to shopping center parking lots, which provided safety from flames that encircled them until evacuation buses were able to scoop them out of danger. Despite the obstacles, Rayl luckily made it to Chico. He bought a Greyhound bus ticket to Arizona for a nearly day-long trip away from hell. At that moment, the safest place was the desert – in his mother’s

“the Ridge” home for the better part of two decades since Simas’ grandfather built a home there in the mid-1990s. “I made a lot of friends in that community,” said Simas, a self-employed foreign exchange trader. “We know a lot of families that are suffering right now.” In the first days after the fire, Simas collected donated toiletries in her garage before coming up with the idea of contacting the brother of a friend who runs Midwest Food Bank in Gilbert. Operations Director Q Nielsen said the nonprofit is donating a 53-foot truck and a driver to take weekly loads of supplies to help victims who are staying in housing set up by the Red Cross or simply living in their cars in shopping center parking lots. “We have a semi-tractor and a trailer,

Simas said day-to-day necessities are needed most – such as toothbrushes, shampoo, diapers, baby bottles and wipes, shoes, packaged and canned foods, water bottles and feminine hygiene products. “We’re doing everything we can to fill that trailer,” Simas said. “It’ll be weekly for next few weeks, and then we’ll see what they need long-term.” Nielsen said it will cost the nonprofit about $3,200 for each round trip to Chico, where donations are going for the mini-shelters that have been set up in shopping center parking lots. That cost makes cash donations helpful as well. Nielsen said people who donate money can specify they want it to go to the Paradise relief effort. The food bank has made donating even easier than ever with a phone app. The Midwest Food Bank app is available on all platforms for donations and to find videos, locations and more. Donations can also be made in person at the Food Bank at 725 E. Baseline Road or online at arizona.midwestfoodbank.org. Midwest is relatively new to the Valley, but it’s used to helping out in disaster situations across the country. “When you wake up in the morning, and you imagine getting a toothbrush, that’s something so simple, but these people have nothing,” Nielsen said. Rayl said he’s already thankful for the help Paradise is receiving nearly 900 miles away. “I need to fix my town,” an emotionally exhausted Rayl said on TV. “We need to bring it back to what it was.” in international relations from Utah at the time of his death. University officials said it plans to posthumously award Taylor the degree in the spring. The Chandler Unified School District is honoring Taylor’s memory by posting video clips from his speech to the governing board in 1996 and his 1997 Chandler High commencement address. Taylor’s final message on Facebook, however, might be one of his most important in these divided times. “Whether the Republicans or the Democrats win,” Taylor wrote about last week’s election, “Remember that we have far more as Americans that unites us than divides us. ‘United we stand, divided we fall.’ God Bless America.” In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Brent Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University of Utah.

Mesa dental school fills juvenile detainees’ needs BY DAVID M. BROWN Tribune Contributor

wo years ago, Dr. Chantay Banikarim knew she needed to call a dentist. As medical director for 14 years at the Durango and Southeast County juvenile detention centers, she ensures that each child receives a seven-day physical examination, including teeth. What she saw alarmed her. “We noticed widespread dental decay, and many of the juveniles had never seen a dentist in their lives,” said Banikarim, an adolescent medicine physician who can have as many as 200 juveniles ages 8 to 17 under her care at any given time. “We found that those with an extensive drug history had more severe dental decay and greater need for preventive and acute dental care,” she added. That’s all changed in the last two years. And not only are faculty and students

ing the youngsters’ teeth – they’re also saving taxpayers money. As a result of the support she got from Deputy Chief Michaella Heslin and Chief Eric Meaux of Juvenile Probation, Banikarim two years ago called Dr. Jack Dillenberg, the inaugural dean at A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health in Mesa. At first, the school provided basic services, but because of the often intense needs of the young people, more was needed. Dr. Scott Howell, an assistant professor, and his colleague, dental hygienist Colleen Trombly, had developed a teledentistry program with a $1.7-million federal grant that also helped the school expand its interprofessional education curriculum. The university added approximately $30,000 for portable dental and xray equipment. And the Delta Dental Foundation of Arizona has just donated

$40,000 for a new teledentistry van. Now, the young detainees are finding the care they never got. “We are one of a few dental schools in the country to teach teledentistry and how it can be used to reach underserved populations,” said Howell, a metroDetroit native who graduated from A.T. Still in 2014 in both dentistry and public health. “We are also one of the only dental schools to expose our students to concepts in public health beyond the basics.” Howell, Trombly, another hygienist and 76 students – many from the East Valley – provide preventive and maintenance care, exams, cleanings, fluoride varnish applications and prompt treatment for dental emergencies at the two juvenile facilities. The A.T. Still team also works with the Arizona Recreation Center for the Handicapped in Phoenix, and will be working See

Korean War vet boarding last Honor Flight of the year BY LILLIAN DONAHUE Cronkite News

at Haggard spent almost his whole life in Arizona. It’s where he went to college at Arizona State University, where he met his wife, Jo, had three children and became a grandparent. Haggard, now 89, was 21 years old when he left the state to fight in a war thousands of miles away in Korea. “I was drafted along with four of my friends into the Army in Jan. 13, 1951,” Haggard said at his Mesa home. “I was toting a machine gun all through the rice paddies every night, or two or three nights a week.” The memories, and the stories, came out last month as Haggard prepared for the last Arizona Honor Flight of the year, when he joined four dozen other veterans and their guardians on a trip to Washington to honor their service in a onceforgotten war. “This was the first time I’ve thought of Korea in 15 years,” Haggard said as he

paged through the scrapbooks and photo albums with family members. It’s taken him decades to finally share with loved ones who never even knew he carried the weight of a machine gun – much less a war – all these years. “I’ve heard things today I’ve never heard,” Jo Haggard said of her husband’s war stories. Like the story seared into Haggard’s memory. One night, his platoon was bogged down while pushing up the 38th Parallel. Haggard, who took over the machine gun when the gunner was shot, was the last to leave the fight alive. “We got back up the hill. I think there were 17 or 18 of us in our platoon, which I think there were 45, 50 men to start with,” Haggard said. One reason Haggard took the honor flight to Washington, to see the Korean War Veterans Memorial and others, was to make sure his story and those with stories like his aren’t forgotten. The national nonprofit Honor Flight network has chapters in 45 states. Over

time on the job that helped her remember the course material. Johnston teaches introductory criminology courses but also gives students tips on getting jobs, doing interviews and how to dress professionally, she said.

He has written four books, including “Careers in Criminal Justice” and “Careers in Law Enforcement,” that are good guides for students to prepare for their careers, Ashli said. She said he listens to his students and

cares about all of them in ways that go beyond the classroom. “He didn’t just care about you knowing the material, he cared about you afterwards,” she said. Johnston said he tries to play an important role in their success and motivation. “They’re depending on me in a big way,” Johnston said. “Not to be a jerk, not to be unfair, not to be boring; there’s just so much that I have that I feel important in.” His son Colton, a 29-year-old attorney, said his father is “just always looking for ways to help people. It’s just his way.” The attorney said he attributes his sense of justice to growing up with his father and seeing him help sex crime victims. Colton said he thinks his father saw so much bad things happen to people during his days as a police officer that it taught him to care for others. Johnston said that although his time with the police had an impact on his life, it is his experience in college that helped him become a better person. “It all started because I approached college differently,” Johnston said. “There’s such an advantage in going to college with the attitude of bettering yourself than of going to college because it’s something we have to do to get a job.”

more to tell,” Haggard said. Haggard’s daughter and granddaughter have both seen the Korean War Veterans Memorial and hope the experience can help him, and veterans like him, open up about their service. “I know it’s hard for him to talk about it from what I saw, but I think it’s really cool to know that in my family I have a hero that I can look up to,” said Haggard’s granddaughter, Jackie Traughber. Once in Washington, the stories start flowing with the memories. Like Donald Bols, who served on a Navy minesweeper and was searching for his ship in the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington’s Navy Yard. “That’s the same ship I was in Korea with, isn’t that something?” Bols said while pointing at a small, 50-crew ship. And Doyle Porter, a former Air Force pilot who finds his plane etched into the

stone of a wall at the Korean War memorial. “We could outshoot them, outfly them even in the F-51s,” Porter said while pointing out a common bomber used in the war. It’s Haggard and Kinnerup’s first time seeing the Korean War Veterans Memorial – a moment frozen in time that lets them look back at themselves almost 70 years ago. “This was every night,” Haggard said, looking at the statues of soldiers on patrol that are a focus of the memorial. “These guys depict the raining weather and you wore your poncho. It’s emotional, but it’s something that we dealt with at the time and proud of it.” Haggard’s daughter, Patty Traughber, notes that what was long known as the Korean conflict, “Now they say it’s a war, but for years they didn’t even claim it as

a war.” “He’s always been my hero, but he is just a hero to (have) gone and do the things he did,” she said of her father. Those at Honor Flight Arizona hope to continue the tradition and start bringing Vietnam Veterans along as early as next year. “I can’t see it ever ending,” said Dale Blomker, Honor Flight Arizona treasurer and trip lead. “With all the facets of the veterans that we have, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and I’m sure we’ll go beyond that when the time comes.” The Korean War is not lost on Haggard, Kinnerup or their companions. But as they pass away, they hope their legacy is engrained into America’s memory. “Most of us can’t forget it. I just hope that history doesn’t leave it as the forgotten war and remember the job that was done then,” Haggard said.

fter he retired from the Mesa Police Department, Coy Johnston went to college to become a coun-

selor. Instead he became a teacher, bringing with him 27 years of personal experience as a police officer and the knowledge that his father acquired through 50 years of doing the same thing. Johnston, 62, is a criminology lecturer at Arizona State University. He and his father both retired in 2007 and he began teaching night classes at Chandler Gilbert Community College that same year. Three years later, Johnston began lecturing for ASU’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice – drawn to teaching for the same reason he became a cop: to help people. “There was a need there,” Johnston said. “Students needed to have a certain kind, a certain type of treatment from instructors, and it just kind of attracted me to that because it was meaning something.” Ashli Digiambattista, a 21-year-old ASU sophomore, said she learned things from his class she will remember forever – such as his real-life examples from his

In addition, identifying acute conditions, such as a broken tooth, a toothache or a dental infection allows staff to efficiently plan and schedule for the youth’s appointment at the school. “By helping identify oral health problems before they get really bad, we can give the youth information about their current oral health and encourage them to follow up with a dentist once they are released before any problems get worse and are more expensive to fix,” Howell said. The program is changing the lives of those who give, as well as those who receive. “Dr. Howell has a great deal of compassion for these kids and their health. On many occasions, late in the evening on his way home Dr. Howell has stopped by the detention center to directly evaluate a juvenile when he felt he needed more information than what he received by teledentistry,” Banikarim said. “When you find out you are doing a rotation in a juvenile detention center, you have no idea what to expect,” said thirdyear dental student Shima Ghattan. “My experience was eye-opening, humbling and overall very positive. “The youth we worked with were incredibly cooperative and open to shar

Record store grew out of his father’s collection BY CECILIA CHAN Tribune Staff Writer

arren Skarecky is a numbers guy, a certified public accountant by trade. How he ended up opening a store in Gilbert that sells music is largely due to his father, Dick Skarecky. “He had been collecting well over 20 years and had over 15,000 records at his house and getting a little bit of flack from my mom,” said Skarecky, who grew up in Gilbert and now lives in Queen Creek. “It was starting to take over the house and I threw out the idea, ‘Let’s open a record store.’” That suggestion led to Grace Records, which opened last December at San Tan Village outdoor mall near San Tan Village Parkway and Williams Field Road. It’s the only independent vinyl records store in Gilbert so far – and one of the few in the entire East Valley. The store’s initial stock came from the collection belonging to Skarecky’s dad, who would play his records on one of three turntables at his Gilbert home. “He still has at least 5,000 records,” Skarecky said. “He didn’t get rid of all of them.” The store, which has listening stations for customers, replenishes its shelves with new and used records. The bulk or 85 percent of its 10,000 records for sale are used, selling for $3 each. “We keep it simple and cheap,” said assistant manager Mitchell Atencio. “We have every new release, every genre and we can do specialty orders, too.” The store also has music from the 1920s, but they are 78s and not a big seller. One of the things that make Grace Records unique, Atencio said, is its vast collection of Hip-Hop artists. “We bought 600 records of Hip Hop from the East Coast and shipped it out here and built a table for it,” Atencio said. That genre of music got its start on the East Coast and includes artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Jay Z, DMX, Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy, Gang Starr and Notorious B.I.G. Grace Records also sells turntables from $60 entry-level record players to $500 pri-

Grace Records’ customers include all age groups. “We get younger kids, that is why we chose a mall setting,” Skarecky said. “It’s a little bit more accessible to the younger audience.

He was a fan of Beastie Boys’ Licensed to Ill album when it was released in 1986. Teens also are scooping up The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd at the store, Skarecky said.

ing vinyl sales, industry experts say. Nostalgia may be what is bringing older listeners back to the fold, but for younger fans it’s another story. “I think they grew up in the digital age, having nothing tangible as related to music,” Skarecky said. With vinyl, they are actually taking it out of the sleeve, putting it on a turntable and listening while watching, he said. “It’s an intentional act of listening to someone,” he said. “Digital media is kind of in the background. It’s an appeal to younger kids who have never experienced anything like that before. “Records have been around 100 years, but we are definitely seeing a resurgence. The younger generation is really latching on to it and really appreciates the appeal.” Besides an album’s artistic cover, which some people buy just to hang on the wall, the sound quality from an analog recording surpasses that of digital, according to Atencio. “The sound quality is better than anything out there and has been for a long time and is only getting better with new technology,” Atencio said. “It’s better than

streaming off Spotify.” Lot of the new releases also come with a code for people to get a digital download of the album online, he added. The industry has seen changes over the years. Today’s records are 180-gram vinyl, which are stronger and more durable and less likely to scratch or warp. And they are coming out in eye-catching colors like Dylan &The Dead, which features red-and-blue tie-dye vinyl. Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead’s original album released in 1989. While many vinyl record pressings are duplicates of the original releases, there is new music from those artists in the mix. “The brand-new stuff got The Beatles recording a performance on the BBC in the 1970s that never made it to vinyl before because they released other stuff,” Atencio said. “They are pressing onto vinyl old bands by going back and finding things and putting them out.” Right now for Grace Records, the sky’s the limit for vinyl. “I think it will continue to grow,” Atencio said. “There’s a whole new generation getting into vinyl for their own reason. Lot of people thought it was a fad when it started, but 10 years of sustained growth, it’s looking not so much a fad but a trend.”

Those we love live within us this Thanksgiving BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

ow comes our family’s season of firsts: first Thanksgiving meal, first Christmas morning, first anniversary of my mother’s death. It feels impossible to believe a year has passed without her voice occupying the air. Maybe that’s because my mother, her voice in my head my whole life long, has never stopped speaking to me, not for a moment. “This too shall pass,” she liked to say about particularly challenging situations. “Aaaanny-who,” she would sing-song to signal she was ready to change the subject. A Brooklyn girl by birth and attitude, my mother sometimes favored profanity, mostly directed at society’s worst offenders: drivers weaving wildly between lanes, trashmen incapable of getting all the gar-

bage into the garbage truck, incompetent politicians of either party, and most of the medical personnel who poked, pricked and prodded her in the final days of her 71 years alive. A nurse for two decades, my mother hated hospitals with a passion, or at least being confined to one as a sick person. She was never good at caring for herself, mostly because she spent every bit of her energy taking care of my father, my brother, her grandkids and her oldest son. She was that way to the end, fretting about us, urging, cajoling, caring. It was the subject of the last lucid message she left for me, before the morphine took over and she drifted away for good. I’ve probably played that minute-long voice mail a hundred times, every few days for a year. “It’s in God’s hands now. I’m not doing this,” she says of intubation, a respirator, being kept alive by machines. “I love you.

Take care. Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. I love you, Dave. Bye bye.” So on Thursday, our little family will crowd around the kitchen table in the small white house in south Florida and share turkey and all the trimmings. It will be like always – my brother will tell stories about his job; my niece and nephew will be quizzed about their plans for the future; the Detroit Lions football game will buzz in the background – except it won’t be anything like any other Thanksgiving. Now the only place my mother hovers, attending, supporting, is in my mind’s eye. She is never not there, at least thus far, even if she won’t be the one ladling gravy over the bird or denying everyone in the house the chance to wash a dish. “Relax, relax,” she would tell us. “Don’t worry about it. I got it.” My mother always did, at least when it came to us. A year later, she remains my

family’s adhesive, the glue that binds us. She’s the noun in all our stories, the star performer waiting just off-screen. Except there will be no grand entrance, not this year. Instead, we will huddle in the room she used to fill up despite being not quite five feet tall. We will dote over my father, about to turn 73 and without his wife after 55 years of courtship and marriage. My dad keeps trudging forward in his own way, slowed by time and Parkinson’s and loss. He still smiles a lot, but you can tell the conversation he enjoys most is the one taking place in his head – in all our heads. When I was a little boy, I believed the dead resided in heaven, above us, walking on clouds. Now I know the truth: Those we lose live inside us, where they continue to guide us through the world. They care for us even after they’re gone, and for that we should all be thankful on this Thanksgiving Day.

F-35 Fighter is vital to the East Valley’s economy BY SALLY HARRISON Tribune Guest Writer

few weeks ago, I had the privilege to visit Luke Air Force Base. However, this was not one of my typical visits to Luke. Instead, this was an opportunity to participate in a tour and Roundtable discussion with President Trump, Rep. Martha McSally and other business leaders, both at the national and local level. As with any meeting that occurs at Luke Air Force Base, the defense industry and our men and women in uniform were a key topic of discussion. Thousands of active duty and former military members call Arizona home, particularly in the West Valley, and ensuring their protection should be of vital importance to all elected leaders. One defense program that is of particular importance both nationally and locally is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. I had the opportunity to see this remarkable aircraft up close and personal in my visit to Luke with the President.

This fifth-generation fighter is the military aircraft of the future, and Luke Air Force Base is currently home to an astounding 76 F-35s, making it the world’s largest base and a critical asset to our military. The capabilities of this aircraft are simply unmatched, and the region should be proud to host such a lauded defense program. The F-35’s advanced stealth, integrated avionics, sensor fusion and superior logistics support make it fifth generation, allowing pilots to fly in areas that would have been typically detected by the enemy. It has rewritten the ways in which the military views the battlespace and has put the United States on the cutting edge of military technology and advancements. These capabilities clearly enhance our national security, and the F-35 does more to protect those in uniform than any other fighter jet in history. With the Marine Corps’ F-35B recently conducting its first combat strike in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, we are only scratching the surface of what the aircraft is capable of. Not only does the F-35’s presence in

our region bolster our national security and protect our military service members, but it also helps drive our local and state economy. Arizona has about 30 first tier F-35 suppliers, supporting over 7,300 direct and indirect jobs with an economic impact of over $645 million. Behind these numbers is a community – Arizona’s families that benefit from such an impact. Having more job providers throughout the state allows for our citizens to flourish. Luke Air Force Base alone is home to 400 industry personnel supporting the F-35 program, and this number will continue to grow as the program develops and production continues to ramp up. As with any industry, these individuals will become contributors to our economy and help the region thrive. As the CEO of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, I see real value in what these types of programs bring to the economy. As an extension of my role at the Chamber, I am also involved with the Mesa Industry and Defense Council. The council is made up of a network of companies along with community and elected lead-

ers, creating a shared voice for the region’s success, now and in the future. The defense and aerospace industries are a key component of the Mesa Industry and Defense Council’s success, so I have seen firsthand how important continued industry growth is. The F-35 is the shining example of a defense program that has a trickle-down effect on local economies and industry. As it continues to enhance its production infrastructure, regions like Mesa will reap the benefits. Continued investment in the F-35 program is necessary. The President’s visit to Luke Air Force Base, joining with key defense leaders, shows just how important it is. It gave well-deserved positive recognition to the aircraft that we are used to seeing above our Arizona skies, and it reinforced the need for continued production. Our region, national security, and military service members depend on the F-35, and we must ensure that it continues to see support from the community and state level. -Sally Harrison is president/CEO of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce.

Is juco football dead, or isn’t it? Players, coaches stay hopeful BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

he ruling on the field is that junior college football in the Southeast Valley and across metro Phoenix is dead. Interested parties say there is indisputable evidence, though, that juco football benefits student athletes, and they remain hopeful the ruling comes under review and is overturned. For now, what appeared to be the final games were played across the Valley on Nov. 10. “We’ve had 180-something guys go to four-year schools on scholarship in the last six seasons,” Mesa coach Ryan Felker said. “We’ve had first-round draft picks in the NFL. That doesn’t happen without this.” Following Mesa’s season-ending win over Phoenix College, fans were seen and heard pointing at Felker, exclaiming that he was going to be the reason junior college football was saved in the Valley. Felker offered little explanation of the comments, instead smiling and acknowleging that he and others recently received “some good news.” “There’s some things,” Felker said. “We are going to keep working. There’s some other things coming down the line that we haven’t discussed that will definitely impact what is happening. “It’s going to be interesting to see what happens over the next few months.” On Feb. 5, the Maricopa County Community College District board announced the termination of junior college football. The announcement left players and coaching staffs from Scottsdale Community, Mesa Community, Glendale Community and Phoenix College questioning their future. Nearly 500 players take the field in junior college programs across the Valley every year. Soon after, Pima Community College in Tucson announced that this would be the last season for its football program, also. Without Valley teams, there were none to schedule that are close enough to make continuation cost effective. Junior college football gave Mesa’s Aaron Auelua a second chance to improve his grades while playing the sport he loves.

“This game really teaches you how to grow up, be a man and become independent,” he said. Defensive back Sam Westfall came to Mesa to prove that he has what it takes to compete at the Division I level. As a high school junior in his home state of Utah, Westfall suffered a torn ACL. The injury prevented him from playing and getting game film in what he called the most important years of his prep career.

Mesa Community College coach Ryan Felker, with 180 players moving on to four-year schools, prides himself on the benefit of juco football. With regard to its future in the Valley, he says there’s recently been “some good news.” “It’s going to be interesting to see what happens over the next few months,” he adds.

For many, it gave them a way out of dangerous communities. Others benefited from a new way to receive an education. “I don’t know any coach that trains kids to only be football players,” Arslanian said. “We teach them discipline, respect, teamwork and how to be a good student. I see it over and over again. You would be amazed at what this game does for many kids.” Scottsdale Community College coach Doug Madoski, whose team still has a bowl game to play, was honored to receive a standing ovation prior to the Artichokes’ See

regular-season finale. Even more surprising to him was that his entire family from California had flown in to greet him and the rest of his team as they walked into the stadium before the game. “I didn’t know they were coming to town,” Madoski said after Scottsdale’s 4417 win over Glendale. “It gets a little more real when your whole family flies in.” In his 13th season leading the Arti-

chokes, Madoski is accustomed to the atmosphere surrounding the final game home game of a season. But this one was different. “I wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for junior college football,” Madoski said. “I was a JC player in California and if it hadn’t been for that experience and those coaches there I wouldn’t be here.” From the desire to improve grades to rekindling their love for the game, every player has a reason for taking the junior college route, even if it wasn’t their first choice.

As a senior at Saguaro High in 2015, quarterback Karé Lyles passed for 3,561 yards and 43 touchdowns, helping the Sabercats win the 2015 state championship. He received a scholarship to his father’s alma mater, Wisconsin. Lyles quickly realized that it wasn’t a good fit. After one season in Madison, Lyles transferred to SCC. “You don’t have the little things and luxuries that I got at Wisconsin,” Lyles said. “To truly find out if you love this game and see if you are willing to put everything on the line for it, I think I did that.” Lyles, who passed for 2,016 yards and

They’re coached by Matt Lincoln.

21 SPORTS 20 touchdowns this season, hopes to help Scottsdale win the Valley of the Sun Bowl on Dec. 1. “Keep dreaming, regardless of the situation,” Lyles said. “You talk to wise men and women in your life and they will say that you have to go through adversity to get success. I think just being here and embracing the struggle and grind of a junior college team makes the life journey more meningful.” Contact Zach Alvira at zalvira@timespublications.com and follow him on Twitter @ZachAlvira.

Merry Main Street takes over Downtown Mesa BY KIMBERLY HOSEY GET OUT Contributor

Thousands of revelers will be there to take in the sounds, sights, lights, tastes and activities that only the holiday season can bring. The celebration season kicks off Nov. 23 with an evening of music, food and fun. No Christmas bash would be complete without an over-the-top Christmas tree, bristling with lights and ornaments. Mesa’s is nearly four stories tall. The lighting ceremony is 5:45 p.m. on Macdonald just north of Main Street. If you have memories of Christmases in colder climes and are pining for outdoor ice skating, you’re in luck. Merry Main Street features the Winter Wonderland Ice Rink, at more than 5,000 square feet, at 20 E. Main St., just outside City Plaza.

Mesa mixed-media artist in state’s largest studio tour BY SUE KERN-FLEISCHER GET OUT Contributor

esa resident Rob Stenberg will exhibit and sell his original mixed-media paintings during Arizona’s largest and longest-running artist studio tour, Hidden in the Hills. A signature event of the nonprofit Sonoran Arts League, the free, self-guided tour continues 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, and Friday, Nov. 23, through Sunday, Nov. 25. In its 22nd year, Hidden in the Hills features 174 artists in 44 private studio locations throughout Cave Creek, Carefree and North Scottsdale. This is Stenberg’s third year participating in the tour, and he is excited to be among several guest artists at Studio No. 12 “High Desert Creations” in Scottsdale, hosted by jeweler Kathi Turner. A Michigan native, Stenberg grew up loving art and athletics. He credits his uncle, a talented oil painter, with fueling his passion for art. But it would take nearly two decades before he decided to pursue a career as a full-time artist.

“I worked for a big healthcare company and traveled to many developing companies in the Pacific Rim to help set up hospitals,” Stenberg said. “I experienced so many different cultures, and I believe that experience is evident in some of the designs I create today.” He moved to Arizona in 1994, and while he was successful in his job, he felt he was missing something. He started painting rocks and creating gourd art, and then in 2000, he took a leap of faith, quit his job and began working full-time as an artist.
