2 accuse Gilbert mayor of ethics violations BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

M

ayor Brigette Peterson faces an ethics investigation after two residents accused her of bias and “feeding” information to a developer who wanted to increase the number of apartment units at Morrison Ranch. Residents Ryan Handelsman and Dr. Brandon Ryff, who both live in the 2,000-acre master-planned community’s Lakeview Trails neighborhood, separately filed complaints with the Town Clerk. Peterson denied any wrongdoing. “In order to ensure the Town Attorney’s Office remains independent, impartial, and free from potential claims of bias, the eth-

ics complaints have been referred to an outside law firm for investigation,” Town Clerk Chaveli Herrera said in an email. “The law firm has been given the authority and has full autonomy to take any action needed to conduct a full, fair, and impartial investigation into the complaints, including preparing the report and recommendations required by Section 7.4 of the Code of Ethics.” Scores of people were in the audience at the June 15 Town “Because this is an open Council meeting as Mayor Brigette Peterson came under attack for her actions during a controversy over a proposed apartment see ETHICS page 6 complex.

A

n informal committee in Town Hall will review and make recommendations on how to use Gilbert’s new logo, which was adopted late last year. Council directed Town Attorney Patrick Banger at last Tuesday’s meeting to form the internal committee comprising of Councilman Scott September and employees from police, fire, parks and other key departments.

“Now that it is rolling out more and more, we need to get a handle on it,” said Mayor Brigette Peterson, who was not on the Council when the logo was approved and is not a fan of the symbol. “I think all of us will agree that there have been instances where the logo have popped up that we’ve been surprised in how it’s been used. And so that leaves me to believe staff isn’t sure how it’s supposed to be used.” She also took note of the public ridicule the logo has received on social media.

“Right now, there are four threads about it,” Peterson said. “We have to stop that somehow. There has to be some direction and I don’t think there has been enough direction on this. I want to stop being surprised where it’s being used and how it’s being used in the community.” It took two years for town staff to design the new logo, which was presented to the Council in October for approval. Staff originally intended for the logo to be approved

Secret interviews set for GPS board replacement BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

G

ilbert Public Schools is expected Wednesday, June 23, to conclude its interviews behind closed doors of 17 candidates interested in filling an upcoming vacancy on the governing board. The district’s “collaboration team” will forward the names of three candidates to Maricopa County Superintendent Steve Watson for consideration. Watson is not obligated to choose from the district’s recommended candidates in appointing someone to the seat, which will become vacant June 30 with Reed Carr’s resignation. Carr’s term ends Jan. 1, 2025. The public is not allowed to sit in on the interviews of the candidates for a job in which they could potentially serve in the elected position until Dec. 31, 2022. The position goes up for election in November 2022 to fill the remaining two years of the term. “As is standard for any interview process they will not be open to the public,” spokeswoman Dawn Antestenis said. “It is the County Superintendent that does the interviews to actually select – our interviews are to recommend three candidates to the County Superintendent.” She also said because the interview committee does not include the full five-member board, the district was not required to let the public attend. The committee comprises board President Charles Santa Cruz, Board Clerk Lori Wood, Superintendent Shane McCord, a teacher, a support staff person, a principal and two parents. Watson’s office also doesn’t let the public in on ionterviews for the vacancy, which it hopes to fill in late July or early August. Candidates interested in the job are: William Parker, Lisa Richard, Cathy Sue Brundage, Cody Jacobs, Trina Jonas, Shannon Jones, Kate Porter, Michael Orlando, Danielle Delgado, Collette Davis Evans, Crystal Henrichsen, William Francis Barrett Toon, Michael Flores, Chad Heywood, Jeffrey Cox, George Pizarro III and Blake Robison. Jonas, Brundage, Porter and Pizarro

Reed Carr also submitted letters of interest to Watson’s office. Here’s a look at what the candidates told the district in application letters. • William Parker: retired high school teacher and retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, who taught Navy JROTC for 17 years. Both daughters graduated from Mesquite High School. He said that now that he is retired, he has time to give back to the community. • Lisa Richard: attorney and board member of the Parent School Organization at her children’s school in Gilbert. She and her husband are parents to four adopted children, two of whom are special needs. She said she wants to provide a voice on the board for parents with children. • Cathy Sue Brundage: Retired adjunct English instructor at Mesa Community College. Worked as a child advocate with the Maricopa courts, involved with church youth groups and the PTA when her children were younger. Has desire to make a positive contribution to her community. • Cody Jacobs: Senior Human Relations leader at The Boeing Co. Active supporter of a Scout Troop and Boulder Creek PTO. Retired as a colonel in 2019

from the U.S. Air Force. Enjoy spending time with his son. Will actively work towards the strategic goals established by the district and advocate for improvements to benefit the district. • Trina Jonas: Owns real estate business. Actively involved with community groups. She was the secretary, then president of Greenfield Elementary School PTSO for three years. Currently serving second year as president of the Greenfield Junior High PTRO. Worked to recruit many families out of charter schools and into GPS. She said she wants to be on the board because she would be able to represent a wide variety of parents in the district who feel they lacked representation. She also wants to bridge gaps and find solutions to bring people during a challenging school year. • Shannon Jones: Homemaker and a lash technician. A PTSO volunteer and a GPS alumna. Attended Chandler Gilbert Community College for teaching and did student-teaching at Islands Elementary before she became a mother. She has viewed most of the school board meetings this year and wants to take on new challenges. She believes in making a difference and volunteering in the community while helping shape GPS’ future. • Kate Porter: A substitute teacher, Realtor and mother of three, she said she was forced to pull her youngest child out of GPS and enroll her in a charter school because she was struggling with social isolation and with online schooling. She wants to be a board member to help bring back children and families who left the district. • Michael Orlando: Was a 7th and 8th-grade social studies teacher until he and over 100 other educators were laid off by the district in March. He’s a Boy Scout leader and church youth advisor. Has first-hand knowledge of the needs of students and teachers in the district and wants to work on improvements. • Chad Heywood: Attorney and adjunct professor at Grand Canyon University. Dad to three children at Finley Farms Elementary and community volunteer. He was raised in Gilbert and

Town could see Sister Cities garden at Regional Park

BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

G

ilbert Sister Cities wants to bring a bit of Ireland and China to the town to promote cultural understanding and foster greater friendship. The nonprofit volunteer organization is in the process of building the Gilbert Sister Cities Friendship Garden, which will feature plants from the two countries. The 6,000-square-foot garden will be located on the south side of the pavilion and amphitheater at the town’s Regional Park at Queen Creek and Higley roads. The idea “came about a few years ago from the Sister Cities Board and a representative from our sister city in Leshan, China who was here and suggested we have a garden or park,” said Greg Tilque, board president. “They have a park for one of their sister cities.” The Town of Gilbert established its sister city relationship with Leshan in 2002 and with Antrim-Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, in 1998 with the mayor at the time signing the memorandum of understanding for each. Landscape architect Dig Studio’s proposed rendering of the garden includes trees, a maze and a yet-to-be-determined stone-and-water feature in the center. Tilque said if the board decided to build the garden as shown, the estimated cost was around $90,000. He said most of the funding would come from money donations or in-kind donations, such as the dirt for the garden and Dig Studio’s rendering.

“If we have enough money, it could be done right away,” Tilque added. “It’s in the formative state right now to get all the final numbers together. “Our board is talking to see what elements are important and if they have to have it. There’s still lot to be determined. We might have to phase it.” What the board does want to keep is a mural to be painted on an existing wall by a young artist. The wall mural will be the focal point of the garden. The goal is to begin planting in the cooler fall months and debut phase one or the entire project in November-December, according to Tilque. He said there will be opportunities in the future for gifting and naming rights for distinct attributes in the garden. The town is kicking in $15,000 for the project, according to Marshall MacFarlane, Parks and Facilities manager. “We’re excited about it,” MacFarlane told the Parks and Recreation Board at a

meeting earlier this month. MacFarlane told the board that 270 tons of dirt was trucked to the site to build the platform for the garden and he noted one of the challenges was picking plants from the two countries that will also grow in Arizona. Other Valley cities like Tempe and Phoenix have such gardens. Phoenix’s Japanese Friendship Garden is a nod to one of its 10 sister cities – Himeji, Japan. The 3.5-acre garden, a joint project of Phoenix and Himeji, includes a teahouse, stone garden, koi pond and waterfall. The Dick and Jane Neuheisel Sister City Garden at Kiwanis Park in Tempe is filled topiaries and over 600 plaques. Tempe has 11 sister cities. In its mission to further the development of greater friendship and understanding between Gilbert and its sister cities, the trio have exchanged high school students each year during the summer months.

High school student sought for project

G

ilbert Sister Cities is looking for a high school student to design and paint a wall mural for a Friendship Garden at Gilbert Regional Park, 3005 E. Queen Creek Road. The mural design should represent Gilbert Sister Cities’ relationship between Antrim-Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland and Leshan, China. The design should ideally highlight specific icons from each city such as the giant

Buddha in Leshan, the Glens of Antrim in Northern Ireland and icons of Gilbert and around Arizona. Applicants must be a student at a high school in Gilbert or live in a Gilbert zip code. Deadline to request an application is June 30 by emailing gilbertsistercities@gmail.com The final artwork submission is due Aug. 1 and judging finalized by Aug. 15.

The winner will be announced at an Aug. 17 Town Council meeting. The selected artist will receive $500 in compensation and special recognition at a council meeting and in the media. To research each community, go to gilbertsistercities.com and for more information, go to gilbertsistercities.com/gilbert-sister-cities-friendship-garden/

But when the pandemic hit last March, Gilbert Sister Cities’ Youth Ambassador Program came to a halt. The program also was suspended this year. The four students selected each year for the program instead have or will each receive a $1,000 scholarship for college. Tilque said the program is expected to resume next year by sending two students to China and two to Ireland in exchange for students from those two countries. Gilbert’s relationships with its counterparts overseas have also helped promote international trade. A council delegation from Ireland visited Gilbert in 2019 on a trade visit to learn what it was like to work in Arizona, especially in the town. The delegation also paid for a consultant to work with Gilbert to find business connections in town. And in April 2020 during the height of the pandemic, Leshan donated 100 N95 face masks to Gilbert’s first responders.

investigation we will not comment further,” Herrera added, stating she is uncertain how long the investigation will take to complete. The Morrison controversy has been raging in the neighborhood for several months. The Morrison Family met with residents virtually March 15 to discuss the plan to apply for a minor amendment to the General Plan and a rezone that would add 80 more apartment units for a total of 320 on farmland at the northeast corner of Higley and Warner roads. The 15 acres set aside for a shopping center would drop to 10 acres and the adjoining land for the apartments would jump from 15 to 20 acres. According to the Morrisons at the time, it would be impossible to fill 15 acres with commercial development. The residents, however, don’t want more apartments for various reasons, including increased traffic and potential impact to their property values. They also felt the Morrisons didn’t give enough notice for the meeting, which drew about 300 residents. Residents then and now raised issues with Peterson’s ties with Howard Morrison, whom she’s known for over 20 years. Morrison co-chaired Peterson’s mayoral campaign last fall and was one of her largest donors with a $6,000 contribution. Residents say that is enough to show a conflict of interest for Peterson if she involves herself in consideration of the proposal. Handelsman said he felt Peterson violated the town Code of Ethics by not treating all citizens fairly, not having the public’s interest as her primary concern, divulging confidential information and using her authority or influence to intimidate or interfere with a person’s duty to disclose improper activity. Handelsman said he and Peterson exchanged a number of emails the day before the neighborhood meeting, which ended on an “agree-to-disagree scenario.” He added he later learned through a public records request that within hours of communicating with him, Peterson shared his emails with Howard Morri-

son to help prep him for the neighborhood meeting. “She was feeding Mr. Morrison information wishing him luck and wanted to make sure he had all the information ahead of the public meeting so that he was ready for a response,” Handelsman wrote in his complaint. In his emails, he told Peterson the community would likely be hiring an attorney and that there was a petition against the proposal circulating. That Peterson shared his emails with Morrison wasn’t all that caught Handelsman off-guard. “She especially called me out by name,” he said. “Taking our email conversation and labeling me as “the most aggressive.’” “That was just jaw-dropping to me being called out by name as a private citizen. Telling one of the most influential men in Gilbert, ‘hey, we understand you have a project and this guy is standing between (you) and a deal that is valued in the millions of dollars.’ “It’s scary to me. It’s very discerning that not just with the Morrisons but any stakeholder in this project now knows my name and can very easily figure out where I live.” The father of two young children said he didn’t feel physically threatened but “you never know in today’s climate.” In her emails to Morrison, Peterson wrote, “Ryan Handelsman has been the most aggressive as I’ve tried to explain the process.” “I’ve been told there is a petition with 400 signatures gathered in two hours and that the neighbors are hiring an attorney to make sure they are treated fairly,” Peterson told Morrison in one email. “I’ll let you know if I hear anything else.” And in another email to Morrison, she wrote: “I’ve read (and will read) all comments on social media. We want to address as many of their concerns as possible tomorrow night. Let me know if I can provide you anything else.” Handelsman’s complaint states, “She even went so far as to wish Mr. Morrison ‘Good Luck,’ Here we are, private

Council OKs controversial go-kart track BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

R

esidents near Crossroads Park plan to regroup and look for options after Town Council last week shot down their effort to mitigate the noise from gas-powered go-karts at an outdoor entertainment venue. Council on June 8 voted to uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of the design for Santan Adventure Park, which includes the go-kart track, an 18-hole miniature golf course and a splash pad on 4.55 acres at the southwest corner of Crossroads Park at Santan Village Parkway and Knox Road. The vote was 6-1 with Mayor Brigette Peterson the sole dissenter. “They just destroyed our neighborhood,” said Randy Nelson, a spokesman for residents at Greenfield Lakes and Cottonwoods Crossing neighborhoods. “We can’t stop at this point.” Residents had hired an attorney and filed the appeal to overturn the Planning Commission’s April 7 vote on the grounds the noise impact studies were flawed and omitted vital information. The town and SAP Holding signed a 30-year lease for the land in 2017, which was extended a few times. Over a dozen residents spoke at last Tuesday’s appeal, citing quality-of-life impacts that included noise, traffic and pollution. They also brought in an acoustical engineer who faulted the developer’s two commissioned noise studies

and shortfalls in Gilbert’s noise ordinance. “The project doesn’t make sense,” said Cottonwoods Crossing resident Deanne Huth, adding no one was opposed to the miniature golf or splash pad. But the 22 go-kart feature was a different matter. “This is excessive noise and doesn’t make sense,” she said, asking the council members how they would like it if the project were in their backyards. The venue is allowed to operate 11 a.m.11 p.m., Sundays to Thursdays and 8 a.m.-midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Charlie Girard told the Council that no one wanted the go-karts in that location because if they did they would have

shown up and spoken in support of the project at the appeal. At the meeting, Nelson questioned the effectiveness of a 6-foot wall proposed by the developer to help dampen the noise because it wouldn’t be high enough to block the line of sight. The possibility of having the developer add more trees to shield the homes from noise also was discussed but the resident’s expert Dr. Lance Willis said a line of trees wouldn’t do anything and that a grove or a forest would be needed for an effective sound barrier. Councilman Scott Anderson asked if there were no compromise that would satisfy the residents. Nelson said the only solution for him was if go-karts

the proposed zoning change garnered 2,604 signatures by last week. Handelsman said he called Peterson on June 8. “I was simply looking for an apology and stated my concerns,” he said. “Why was she going in and giving the Morrisons this type of information and mentioning me by name? I found that to be extremely problematic and wanted an apology and assurance it wouldn’t happen again and acknowledgement that it was wrong.”

Handelsman said he also asked Peterson to recuse herself due to the conflict of interest when the Morrisons’ proposal comes to Council for a vote. Planner Ashlee MacDonald last week said there has not been a formal application submitted yet to the town. Handelsman said Peterson responded on June 10 and refused to recuse herself from the vote and “instead of offering an apology, she doubled down in an email, even alluding to the fact I would bring this information to the public or the

were indoors – a feature promised at a two-story amenity at the incoming Urban Air Adventure Park being constructed near San Tan Village. The developer’s attorney Sean Lake argued the residents failed to prove their case that the project would violate the noise ordinance. Councilwoman Kathy Tilque made the motion to uphold the Planning Commission’s decision and incorporated some the developer’s compromises to five stipulations in an effort to provide some protection for the residents. The stipulations include building a block wall along the track, banning the use of loud speakers for park announcements, installing a “super silent” muffler system on the go-karts and requiring the developer form a users group to proactively work through issues and do a noise study from the nearest house six months after it opens. The wall, the mufflers and the user group were the developer’s proposed compromises. When SAP Holdings originally pitched the family-fun project, it did not include go-karts, although they are an approved use in the lease agreement. Residents accused the developer of a “bait-and-switch” with the addition of the more noise producing gas-powered go-karts instead of electric. The amenities discussed are part of Phase 1 for the project. The developer has not disclosed what is being planned for Phase 2. press. She took it as a threat.” He said Peterson copied Town Attorney Chris Payne on her email and referenced him as the town attorney in her correspondence. “She’s implying she has him on her side and he supports her behavior,” said Handelsman, who added this came across as a “strong-arm tactic to intimate” him to stay quiet. “How can the citizens of Gilbert trust

Gilbert cop’s certification on the line veteran police officer faces the possibility of losing his career as a cop in Gilbert or elsewhere in the state for lying and falsifying an arrest document. The Arizona Peace Officer Standards

and Training Board voted unanimously in May to initiate proceedings against Officer Steven E. Gilbert’s peace officer certification. “It could include anything from taking no action eventually through up to revocation,” Executive Director Matt Giordano said last week. “Keep in mind an officer is afforded complete due process

then take the judge’s findings into consideration in making its final determination, according to Giordano. “I am requesting a hearing through my attorney,” said Gilbert in a text message. “At this time she has advised me not to speak about it.”

its own mayor when she, in black and white, has proven that she will take your concerns and spoon feed them to the opposite side,” he said. Ryff, a dentist who filed the public records request, also accused Peterson of violating the Town’s ethics policy – sharing a resident’s information with Morrison and naming Handelsman. He alleged the action was “disrespectful” and “puts him in the crosshairs of his adversary.” Ryff said he expected apartments to be built at the location but he didn’t expect the possibility of increasing the density to add 80 more units after he built his dream home 300 feet from the site. Ryff said Peterson tipped off the Morrisons about the residents’ efforts to circulation a petition against the proposal, which showed “clear bias.” He said residents didn’t have time to prepare for the March 15 meeting such as studying the General Plan because of the short notice but that Peterson fed the Morrisons information so they could be prepared with responses for the meeting. Ryff also accused Peterson of interfering with the duty to disclose violations. “The mayor never intimidated, threatened, coerced or commanded me to do anything, but I feel she tried to influence

me from moving forward with bringing these ethical violations to light,” Ryff said in his complaint. He said Peterson called him in April because she disliked a political website he launched and “influenced me to take it down.” Ryff said Peterson again called him June 7 “to argue against my assertions and to tell me I am reading into things and making this up that aren’t true.” He said Peterson’s call was prompted by his Facebook postings of her emails to the Morrisons. “She was very upset and we ended up arguing about this for almost 50 minutes,” Ryff said. “I do not feel it is appropriate for an elected official to approach a private citizen and confront them about releasing the result of a FOIA request that is potentially politically damaging.” He asked in his complaint if Peterson attended the required training on the ethics policy and if so, he wanted the Town to provide the date it occurred. “I think the mayor lacks a basic understanding of professional ethics,” Ryff said. “Her decision-making skills and ability to analyze risk vs. benefit are severely lacking.” He ended his complaint by asking the Council to censure Peterson for “her eth-

ical transgressions.” Peterson issued a statement regarding the allegations of ethics violations. “I am committed to working with all parties involved in planning cases to understand resident concerns as well as the developer’s intentions,” she said. “In this specific case, I received several emails from Morrison Ranch residents in March with concerns regarding this project. At that time, I reached out to Mr. Morrison to understand what stage this project was in and to share the concerns that were being relayed to me and the Town Council. Mr. Morrison assured me that he would be addressing these concerns during the virtual neighborhood meeting that is required to be hosted by applicants prior to a pre-application meeting with staff. “I will continue to represent everyone and the best interest of Gilbert just as I have done for the past 20 years serving as a planning commissioner, council member and now as mayor.” Ryff and six other Morrison Ranch residents spoke at last Tuesday’s Council meeting, pressing their concerns with the Morrisons’ proposal and bashing Peterson. They brought signs that read “Brigette Peterson Morrison Ranch Employee of the Month,” “Worst Mayor

Ever,” “Quid Pro Peterson” and “Peterson is Ethically Bankrupt.” “Your failure to represent the people and the Town of Gilbert will come full circle to you and at some point these people in the room will say, ‘we’ve had enough,’” Berna Holzman said. “We don’t have any confidence in your ability to make sound business decisions. We no longer believe that you have the vision, the safety, the soundness of this Town of Gilbert in your heart.” Holzman accused Peterson of only listening to the developer and that increasing the number of apartments would overload classrooms, increase pollution and put a further burden on public safety. Jessica Gillespie said Peterson’s “business dealings with the Morrisons are disgraceful.” “We cannot abide this kind of blatant disregard for ethics.” Gillespie said. “She has broken the trust of the people she was elected to serve.” Ryff went one step further and demanded Peterson step down from her position. “I am calling for your resignation,” he said. “If not, I’m pledging up to $10,000 to found and fund a political action committee with the mission of removing you from office.”

Gilbert Town Hall closing for a year

Through this and the move of some IT functions, the project will add about 1,700 square feet to the building for operations, she added. Harrison said the renovations, along with new furniture, will allow the building to accommodate approximately 50 more workstations, offsetting space

needs at future facilities. The Council last week also approved adding approximately $250,000 in contingency for a new exterior canopy and updates to parking on the west end of the building. The Town anticipated completing the project by September 2022 after putting

it on hold last June due to the economic uncertainties of COVID-19. Staff has said without the renovations, the building will reach capacity within a few years. They also looked into constructing a new building, which was estimated to cost $30 million. Public meetings held in the municipal building at 50 E. Civic Center Drive will move temporarily to other Town facilities. When Council returns from its hiatus in July, meetings will be held at the Gilbert Public Safety Training Facility, beginning Aug. 3. The Planning Commission will meet at the Gilbert Police Department’s amphitheater across the campus, beginning July 21. During construction, the public can continue to access the Council and Planning Commission meetings through Gilbert Live on the town website. The Redevelopment Commission meeting will be posted on the Town’s YouTube channel. During the renovation, the Town’s Channel 11 services will be suspended.

By contrast, the vaccines for COVID-19 are available under what the FDA calls an Emergency Use Authorization. Ducey’s order earlier this week makes no reference to the formal FDA status of any vaccine. Instead, it singled out inoculation for COVID-19. It also comes at a time of increasing pushback by Republicans who not only won’t get vaccinated themselves amid questions about its safety but have made a political issue of the virus, even insisting that Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, lied about the threat of the virus to convince people to agree to be inoculated. Karamargin said the distinction Ducey is making between the shots for MMR and for COVID is not political. “Those vaccines are part of a schedule of vaccines that have gone through the full FDA approval process,’’ he said. “The COVID vaccines have not.’’

But Karamargin was careful with his wording. “This is not to say they are unsafe,’’ he said. “We believe they are safe.’’ It would be a surprise if the governor or his spokesman argued otherwise – and not just because both have received the vaccine. Dr. Cara Christ, the state health director, herself affirmed that to be true. More to the point, she said that EUA designation was largely meaningless. “These vaccines have been through the exact same clinical trials as all of the other vaccines,’’ Christ said. The EUA process, she said, simply cuts down on the “bureaucratic requirements.’’ Karamargin would not answer whether Ducey will relent and rescind his order when the vaccines get full FDA approval. Pfizer applied for full authorization for its vaccine on May 7, with Moderna following suit on June 1. He also brushed aside that, unlike the MMR vaccines, nothing in the now-over-

turned policies of the state universities actually required students to get inoculated against COVID. At both the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, unvaccinated students and those who refused to disclose their status still had the right to attend classes provided they were tested at least once a week and agreed to wear face coverings. Northern Arizona University is requiring all students to wear masks. Katie Paquet, media relations and strategic communications administrator for ASU, said students never were required to be vaccinated. Paquet said ASU will do its best to provide resources for vaccinated and unvaccinated students that work within the parameters of the executive order. Some ASU students and staff are concerned about the health of other students, however, and the potential for more cases of COVID-19 on campus.

ilbert Town Hall is shutting down tomorrow, June 21, for about a year in order to do a major interior overhaul. The budget for the remodel is approximately $16 million but including the work on a prior portion of the project – the renovation of a tax area to meet state requirements – the total budget was now $17.6 million, according to spokeswoman Jennifer Harrison. “The need for a renovation was identified in our CIP nearly 20 years ago,” Harrison said in an email. Municipal Building I was constructed in 1992, the first of three main buildings in the Town’s Municipal Complex campus. The renovation includes replacing or upgrading the exterior glass, HVAC systems, roofing, flooring, fixtures and furniture at the two-story, 50,000-square-foot building. Harrison said the existing balcony on the north side of the second story will also be enclosed to gain more floor space.

After a year of working at home, many town employees stationed at Town Hall likely will continue doing so for another year during the renovation project. (Special to GSN)

Ducey bans college COVID vaccine rules BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

G

ov. Doug Ducey doesn’t plan to block state universities from requiring students to be vaccinated against at least some diseases despite a move this week to do just that over COVID-19. Press aide C.J. Karamargin told Capitol Media Services his boss is aware that the schools preclude students from registering unless they meet certain immunization requirements. Unlike the policy that Ducey overruled Tuesday on COVID vaccines, there is no work-around, like getting tested regularly and wearing a mask, to allow students to avoid getting inoculated for measles, mumps and rubella. Karamargin said vaccines for those three diseases have full approval of the federal Food and Drug Administration.

LOGO from page 1

earlier for debut at the Town’s Centennial celebration in July but the pandemic threw a wrench in the timeline. Weeks after the Council voted 6-1 to adopt the new brand, it decided to send it back for minor tweaks after some internal opposition. At Tuesday’s meeting Peterson also said she would support September’s proposal to remove a 15-foot-tall town logo on the north wall of the newly opened Public Safety Training Facility building and relocate it elsewhere. September said he noticed the logo during the May 19 dedication and found it distracting. He said he couldn’t think of any other town building with a logo that large or with such prominence. “Town logos change time to time,” September said. “This logo will be around for 10-15 years and then we will have another logo. I don’t know it’s the best idea to keep changing 15-foot logos on our buildings.” September said he has no problem with the logo itself but that the wall should be left blank or the town could allow public safety to come up with its own design. Fire and Police are using their own logos. Vice Mayor Yung Koprowksi recom-

mended tabling September’s proposal and moving forward with the committee, which will come back with a larger policy that includes the use of the logo on the training facility. So far, the brightly colored logo can be seen on the Town’s website, documents and even some street signs. Town spokeswoman Kelsey Perry said the logo will go on assets as they need replacing. “The street signs are being replaced on our regular replacement schedule based on their condition, and it will take many years to completely replace all of the sign,” Perry said in an email. “We currently have 14 intersections that are being replaced with our funding from Fiscal Year 2022.” She said $83,000 has been allocated toward replacing deteriorated, lighted street signs. “We will be following the same process with other items as well, such as the monogram on the vehicles,” she said. “New vehicles are getting the new monogram, but older vehicles will keep the old monogram until the vehicle is replaced.” She said the town waited until the end of the year – after the new branding was adopted – to make certain purchases so

The old brand was a swirl that many likened to a “toilet flush.” Peterson hoped a use policy will help stem the negative social media comments on the logo. For now, residents on social media are ridiculing the new logo, many unclear what it’s suppose to represent. According to the Town, the abstract “G” logo “ugly,” “embarrassing,” “cheap” and monogram incorporates colors inspired “uninspired.” Some said it looked like a rip-off of the by Arizona’s sunsets – “fun, bold and rep“Google G that they use for 4G” and “Peresent our vibrant community.” “The logo and branding can mean dif- ter Piper Pizza’s symbol.” Others were harsher in their assessferent things to different people just as Gilbert means different things to differ- ments. Other comments included “old lady ent people in our community,” read a with a walker,” “A red Pac-Man and a statement on the Town website. Many posts on social media called the blue Pac-Man kissing in the sunlight,” and “A blond person going to the toilet.” And one man wrote: “They could have paid my 6-year-old, blind -folded her and had her draw with her foot and got a better result.” People also said the town should have let people residents vote on a new symbol or have a contest for a high school art student do the design. “This new logo represents nothing of what Gilbert is or came from,” a woman said. “It tells nothing of the history of Gilbert.

Gilbert also is president of the police union – the Gilbert Police Leadership Association. For the time being, Gilbert remains on the force but in a non-enforcement capacity, said Gilbert Police spokeswoman Brenda Carrasco. Although the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office eventually dropped the criminal charges against Gilbert, “the board has the ability to act on the facts of the case,” according to Giordano. The county attorney also placed Gilbert on its Brady List database of dishonest cops. Compliance specialist Steve Jacobs at the May 19 board meeting provided an overview of Gilbert’s case. The event unfolded May 8, 2020 when Gilbert arrested a man at his Apache

Junction residence in Pinal County on two outstanding felony warrants issued by Maricopa County Superior Court. The man “was transported to the Gilbert-Chandler Unified Holding Facility located in Maricopa County without being taken before a judge in the county of his arrest, in violation of Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure,” Jacobs said. “During the booking process the detention supervisor informed Officer Gilbert that the Maricopa County Jail would not accept (the man) as he needed to be booked into Pinal County Jail and afforded an extradition hearing.” Jacobs said Gilbert didn’t transport the man to Pinal County and instead told him “that he was being un-arrested and re-arrested.” Jacobs said this was completed without removing handcuffs or

releasing the man from custody. After re-arresting the man, Gilbert changed the booking information to report the arrest occurred in Maricopa County, according to Jacobs. The man was then processed and transported to Maricopa County Jail “where after being refused intake (the man) was released from custody and his warrants re-entered into the system,” Jacobs said. “On July 29, 2020 during an interview by Professional Standards, Officer Gilbert informed investigators that he was not aware that at the time of the arrest that he was in Pinal County,” Jacobs said. “However, a review of Office Gilbert’s body-worn camera video discovered Officer Gilbert twice made statements acknowledging his awareness of being in

Pinal County,” he added. Jacobs then presented to the board the video from Gilbert’s body camera. Jacobs said Gilbert in July 2020 received a summons from Maricopa County Superior Court for “tempering with a public record and false swearing.” “However, on Feb. 8, 2021 on motion by the prosecutor the case was ordered dismissed without prejudice,” Jacobs added. He said Gilbert was suspended for 80 hours and removed from the canine team by the Town’s Police Department. The AZPOST board is comprised mainly of law enforcement members, two public members and an Arizona State University professor. The board is charged with protecting the public against bad cops.

Gilbert nurse advocates for, helps addicted babies BY SYDNEY MACKIE GSN Staff Writer

A

s opioid drug overdoses spike again as a result of the pandemic, a Gilbert neonatal nurse is helping to lead a public information campaign to let expectant moms know there is hope for their babies if they are born addicts. Tara Sundem last fall realized a yearslong effort by opening Hushabye Nursery, which helps babies born with a drug addiction because of their mother’s substance abuse. In Arizona, two babies a day are born suffering neonatal abstinence syndrome – a medical condition that addicted mothers pass on to their babies when they use opioids during pregnancy, thus harming the infant’s health and posing serious developmental complications. Last November, Sundem opened Hushabye Nursery in Phoenix to help

Hushabye Nursery is a judgment-free healing facility for the entire family unit with constant care from neonatal or pediatric nurses. (Special to GSN) combat this issue locally and relieve pressure from busy and chaotic intensive care units while promoting an ideal healing environment.

Operating with 57 employees and 64 well-trained volunteers, Hushabye has been able to serve 75 infants and their families since opening its doors.

Opening during the height of the pandemic in Arizona was crucial timing as the group find that overdose and substance abuse rates of drugs such as fentanyl were skyrocketing in the state. But, Hushabye Nursery was able to, “Relieve our community partners in the hospitals and say, ‘Give us some of your babies and you guys focus on the sickest of the sick,’” said Sundem, executive director of the nonprofit. “When a baby comes to Hushabye Nursery, they’re usually 24 hours old and indicating exposure to an opiate. The family agrees for their little one to be transferred to us, and we have the ambulance pick them up.” Sundem said. “When they get to us, they have a private nursery where the parents can stay 24/7. We also help connect these families with support services, therapy and coun-

At DaVita, Schneeweis provides care to people with kidney failure who rely on dialysis to live. “Dialysis patients are often older and have multiple, serious medical conditions beyond kidney failure,” a DaVita spokeswoman said.

Danielle Schneeweis, a nephrology nurse for DaVita Kidney Care, won a prestigious DAISY Award. (Special to GSN)

“Because of this, Danielle went above and beyond to help keep these highrisk patients safe in the pandemic. In the early months of the pandemic, she manned DaVita’s 24-hour COVID-19 hotline giving guidance to anxious dialysis patients across the state.” “Schneeweis was a trusted resource on DaVita’s 24-hour COVID-19 hotline, answering questions and giving comfort to patients from 50 DaVita dialysis centers across Arizona and the Four Corners area,” the spokeswoman added.. Schneeweis also led DaVita’s efforts to vaccinate Arizona dialysis patients, including organizing the administration of 1,000 doses in a 48-hour period. “By recognizing nurses who received DAISY awards, we are celebrating their

profound compassion and motivation to positively impact the lives of our patients and help them be successful on their unique care journeys,” said Mandy Tilton, chief nursing officer for DaVita Kidney Care. The DAISY Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his family. He died at age 33 in 1999 from complications of a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. “When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night,” said

seling, all on-site so they don’t have to leave their babies.” Offering a judgment-free healing facility for the entire family unit with constant care from neonatal or pediatric nurses, Hushabye workers carefully monitor these babies’ suffering from symptoms like uncontrollable shaking, discoordination, fevers, seizures, vomiting and sleeplessness. Additionally, they provide this care in a dark and quiet environment to promote the child’s sleep and healing. “We’ve found that babies suffering from who would not eat in the NICU will eat once transferred here. Apart from providing round-the-clock care, we’re able to provide a soothing sensory experience that allows their nervous systems to calm down and find balance as they move through a very painful transition,” Sundem said. The group has found that because of this, the treatment process usually averaging from six to nine days, can be cut in half.

Tara Sundem founded Hushabye Nursery to help substance-abusing mothers’ babies overcome the opioid dependency they have inherited. (Special to GSN) Hushabye patients are able to be fully detoxified and reunited with family at home after only four to five days at the facility. Being able to see and interact with their children has also proven to be an incredibly effective motivator for parents suffering from addiction to seek help and treatment.

“That’s the kind of thing that makes us stand out from the typical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, our support service that we offer for those really trying to heal the entire family system,” Sundem said. After being recommended to those needing their services by pediatricians, obstetricians, general doctors as well as other patients, Hushabye Nursery is currently working with over 60 pregnant women. Finally, the group hopes to connect with even more families in the earliest possible stages of pregnancy to ensure they receive the treatment and support they need to give their children the best care possible. “Is it a process? Absolutely! Does it take time? Definitely. Do we see these families succeed every day? Yeah, I sent two moms and babies home today, they are absolutely fabulous and succeeding in everything they are doing,” Sundem said. Information: Hushabyenursery.org

A fluttering heart is romantic, but could it be something else? Those odd sensations, a fluttering feeling in your chest, erratic heartbeats? The fact is, irregular or abnormal heartbeats, known as arrhythmia, aren’t normal at all, and they definitely aren’t to be ignored. It could be atrial fibrillation or other heart rhythm disorders—conditions that may cause the electrical impulses of the heart to happen too fast, too slowly, or erratically, when left undiagnosed and untreated. The first step in protecting yourself is a heart health checkup with one of our heart rhythm experts at the Dignity Health Heart Arrhythmia Center – Chandler Regional Medical Center. Now’s the time to schedule a consultation with our experts. Call 480-728-5500 or visit LearnAboutArrhythmia.org.

Gilbert girl elected state’s 1st ‘Ms. President’ BY SYDNEY MACKIE GSN Staff Writer

R

unning on a campaign of animal rights, a 10-year-old Gilbert girl is the first Arizona resident chosen as a Ms President US by a nonprofit that aims to instill leadership and related skills in girls in 4th-8th grade. Sabrina “Brie” Chiarella earned kudos from Gilbert Mayor Brigette Peterson and an invitation to attend a Town Council meeting in August. Sabrina also said she would continue advocating for animal rights, “working on a plant-based diet to protect those that I’m fighting for.”

Sabrina Chiarella

The Ms President US program holds the “elections” to train girls to effectively communicate. The program was founded in 2016 by Liz Astor, after her 9-year-old daughter said she wanted to become President of the United States. Sabrina said her goal right now is to “be in the performing arts or in the sciences, maybe even be the President.” This year was the first that Ms President US expanded into Arizona. Program manager Amanda Cordano explained the goal of the program is to “empower and give girls a look at what it takes to be in politics today and the different roles you can play, you could

be a judge or on your town’s board of education. There are so many different ways to be involved in your government.” Once chosen as Ms President US, the winners are encouraged to make a difference in their town using the skills and courage they have gained while in the program. “The elected Ms President US representatives can push their platform on their own, so they can work towards a litterless lunch program, time-off technology or towards an anti-bullying crusade,” Cordano said. “They can also do it in conjunction with their town leadership and their state leadership.”

wanted the book to look like together,” she said. She said Markovitz spent many months caring for Jack in 1999 in St. Louis and the doctor helped manage ventilator care for the child, who was only seven months old. Jack was born with a rare congenital muscular dystrophy that affected his muscles, eyes and brain. Markovitz was “always available to help me when it came to issues with Jack and offered guidance and support as much as he could from a distance” and even spoke at the boy’s funeral. In writing the book, Schrooten recruited the parents and physicians who contributed. Her commentaries on each story reflect a parent’s viewpoint while Markovitz supplied a physician’s perspective. Finding the parents came from her involvement in a large network she developed by participating in online forums for parents with intensive medical needs. “Parents and physicians were overwhelmingly supportive of the book and wanted to be part of it,” she said, adding they collected stories from 2015 to last year. And it was a long road to fruition. They had first discussed the idea of a

book in 2014 but their proposal wasn’t accepted until 2019, when Springer Publications gave it a nod. They finished in December and the book was published two months ago. Noting that over 3 million children in the United States live with complex medical conditions “and, with advances in medicine, this number will only grow as children born with rare and life-limiting conditions live longer,” Schrooten hopes the book will benefit both parents and doctors. “The hope is to help physicians understand the perspective of parents of the medically complex children they care for and to help parents understand the perspective of the physicians who care for their children,” she said. “There can often be a feeling of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ when it comes to parent-physician interactions. “By giving a voice to both parents and physicians, and by listening and learning from their stories, the goal is to create a bridge to better understanding that can improve communication, minimize conflicts, and foster trust and compassion among physicians, patients, and families.” “Shared Struggles” is available on amazon.com and at link.springer.com/ book/10.1007%2F978-3-030-68020-6.

Chandler woman’s book looks at doctors, parents GSN NEWS STAFF

T

he experience of caring for her chronically ill son for 15 years has motivated a Chandler woman to co-produce a book on physicians’ relationships with parents. Ann F. Schrooten of Fox Crossing and pediatrician Barry P. Markovitz co-edited “Shared Struggles,” a collection of first-person stories that provide a unique glimpse into how parents and physicians think, feel, and interact. Schrooten and Markovitz also wrote commentaries on each story to provide “an independent perspective on the events and messages conveyed and to encourage reflection, inquiry and discussion.” The stories are grouped under four sections: hope, compassion, communication and trust. Parents write about interactions with physicians that had a significant impact on them and their child and offer context and insight. The physicians tell of interactions with patients and families that served as learning moments in their career and humanized both medicine and the doctor. Schrooten, an attorney, and her husband Mark – who have two daughters – lost their son Jack at age 15 in 2014 and

“The great news is that people are coming to enjoy all the great attractions in the Talking Stick Entertainment District,” said Blessing McAnlis-Vasquez from the Salt River Indian Community. “Fortunately, increased visitors also create more jobs, so participating in this event is a perfect way to help promote our positions available now.” Added Debbie Johnson, director of the Arizona Office of Tourism: “It’s clear that strong demand has returned for Arizona vacations. Currently, many of our hotels and resorts aren’t able to fill to capacity because of staffing challenges. Our new tourism and hospitality workforce development efforts are designed to fill that gap.” Employers can register to be matched with eligible candidates and job seekers can register to participate in the June 23

Gilbert couple launch remodeling business BY ASHLYN ROBINETTE GSN Staff Writer

A

Gilbert couple launched a kitchen remodeling business during the pandemic, chucking careers that had little to do with such makeovers. Pamela and Anthony Corvelli purchased the Kitchen Tune-Up franchise last summer and now serve homeowners across the Southeast Valley. “We couldn’t be more excited about opening our new Kitchen Tune-Up location in Gilbert,” Pamela said. “Anthony and I are very passionate about helping homeowners quickly and affordably remodel their kitchens and we can’t wait to share our home remodeling solutions with the local community.”

Pamela and Anthony Corvelli

Prior to joining Kitchen Tune-Up, Pamela was a criminal defense attorney for over 13 years while Anthony managed technology operations for a digital marketing platform in the retail industry. Pamela went through training in August and September while Anthony did so in October. “We hit the ground running and really haven’t slowed down since,” Pamela said. Founded in 1988, Kitchen Tune-Up is a national kitchen remodeling company that specializes mainly in updating cabinetry. With 209 franchised territories nationwide, Kitchen Tune-Up has been named to Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list in 2021. “We can come in and give you a new

kitchen with less stress, less mess and at less cost,” Pamela said. The couple moved from Atlanta, Georgia, to Gilbert in 2017 with their two children. “We fell in love with Kitchen TuneUp’s family mentality and being able to work with a homeowner and bring their vision to life is something that appealed to both of us,” Anthony said. The Corvellis have flipped houses in the past so they were already familiar with the remodeling business before starting Kitchen Tune-Up. They recalled how they always enjoy the final walk through a revamped kitchen and to “see the joy in homeowners’ eyes at how beautiful their

Liv Communities celebrates new complex here GSN NEWS STAFF

iv Communities and Rockefeller Group recently held a ribbon cutting for a new Gilbert community – their fourth collaborative multi-family project in the Phoenix Metro area in the past nine years. Local dignitaries and project team members were on hand for the ceremony held at Liv Crossroads, 445 E. Germann Road. Occupancy of the first buildings took place in April and the company said in a release, “Demand is so strong that the community is already 70 percent leased.” Final completion of the community is expected next February. “It’s my privilege to thank what has turned into now, a real core team. We are a family, in a lot of ways,” said Liv Communities CEO Scott Brooks. “Rockefeller Group has helped us build the Liv presence here in the Valley. We rely on each other as partners. “We have worked on several communities together. It’s been an incredible journey to build these relationships.” When Liv Crossroads is complete, Liv Communities will have 900 rental homes in three communities in Gilbert that represent an investment of $150 million in the town, Brooks said. Liv Crossroads features 356 units ranging from studios to three bedrooms.

It comprises 19 buildings plus two amenity buildings that feature the office, resident Hub, co-working space and Liv Fit fitness center, all with 24-hour access to Liv residents. The development offers over-sized heated resort-style pool and spa, on-site personal training and group fitness, indoor and outdoor community entertainment and recreation areas, and a park for pets. Additional community amenities include rideshare pickup location, the “Mile Shy” Walking Trail, a community

event at AZTourismJobs.com. The site also provides a wide variety of resources all in one place such as connecting people to open jobs, skills assessments, help with resumes and interviews. Mary Foote, director of Pipeline AZ, an initiative of the Partnership for Economic Innovation, said, “Creating a job seeker profile and registering for the upcoming virtual hiring event is a great way to learn more about possible tourism and hospitality career paths.” Thousands of jobs are available right now, from management and sales positions to concierge, valet, front-desk managers, housekeeping, maintenance and

food prep positions. Pipeline AZ connects the entire workforce ecosystem, serving the needs of hospitality and tourism businesses, job seekers, educators and workforce organizations simultaneously through its platform. “As one of the hardest-hit during the pandemic, Arizona’s tourism and hospitality industry continues to work toward recovery, with rehiring workers being a top priority,” Johnson added. Shane Sarlo, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa Resort manager, said getting furlough employees back on the job has been a challenge. At one point, Sarlo said, Sanctuary went

According to the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Arizona hotels shed more than 25 percent of their employees last year, with job losses across local hotels totaling more than 15,000. By the end of this year, however, AHLA estimates that the total number of hotel employees will rise a few thousand, from 43,445 people in 2020 to 46,037 – well below the 2019 total of almost 59,000 workers. AHLA said Arizona’s 2021 projected losses in hotel workers, compared to 2019, will be the 13th highest in the

nation. “Hotels were one of the first industries affected by the pandemic after travel was forced to a virtual halt in early 2020, and it will be one of the last to recover,” AHLA’s report states. Overall, AHLA predicts that hotels will add 200,000 direct hotel operations jobs in 2021 but will remain nearly 500,000 jobs below the industry’s pre-pandemic employment level of 2.3 million employees. Great Wolf Lodge in Scottsdale held a hiring event in May to fill more than 120

positions. The resort had furloughed 312 employees last year. Overall, Great Wolf Lodge hopes to rehire 2,000 new employees across its 16 U.S.-based resorts. “We recognize the pandemic has created a number of employment challenges nationwide,” said Bryan Robinson, Chief People Officer for Great Wolf Resorts. To get prospective employees through the door, some resorts are offering incentives. The Phoenician, for example, held a hiring event last month and offered a $500 sign-on bonus to full- and part-time new hires. Phoenician Managing Director Mark Vinciguerra believes it impacted the turnout. “I definitely feel that it has an impact,” Vinciguerra said. “It speaks to the investment that we’re making, that they know that we want them to be here. We’re willing to invest the time and energy to get them trained properly.” The Phoenician had about 60 position open at the start of the hiring event, ranging from grounds and landscaping positions to culinary, housekeeping, spa positions and more. According to Vinciguerra, the hiring event was successful. They filled about half of the full-time, part-time and seasonal positions they were hiring for. Sanctuary is back to more than 90 percent of its pre-COVID staffing levels – “which is not typical of what is being seen in the industry, overall,” Sarlo said. While the industry expects to gain jobs this year, it won’t reach pre-pandemic levels until 2023, AHLA believes.

Sanctuary was initially challenged with finding line-level staff, like housekeeping and stewarding, but then reevaluated their starting pay rates in an effort to entice staff back to work. “We also improved some of our additional benefits, including complimentary employee meals, incentives, bonuses, and more,” Sarlo said. Phoenician managers attribute part of the difficulty of rehiring to former employees moving out of state or starting entirely different careers. This has led the resort to shift its focus on hiring new people. “We believe it’ll come back in stages,” Vinciguerra said. “We have seen so much leisure travel these first four or five months of the year. “We think the next big segment that’s going to come back – and it’s probably sometime in the fall – is group business,” Vinciguerra continued, adding that group business comprises at least half of the Phoenician’s business. Vinciguerra said fall is critical to hotel industry recovery. “If [group] business returns, then that would be a very good signal that we’re on our way to recovery,” he said. But as the industry recovers, Sarlo believes that hotels and resorts will need to adjust their internal culture to provide more workforce values. “Gone are the days when managers were expected to work a minimum of 55 hours a week. “Today’s hospitality employees want richer benefits, a better work/life balance and to feel as if they have more ownership and control in their roles,” Sarlo said.

create for our customers and their families,” he added. While most kitchen remodeling services can take weeks, Kitchen Tune-Up can finish most projects within five days or as little as one day, Pamela said. Information: kitchentuneup.com/ phoenix-az-corvelli.

Inventory rising – but so are home prices BY MINDY JONES GSN Guest Writer

W

e’ve finally entered into the land of 100-degree digits and man, oh man, it’s hot. Talking about the weather in Arizona is getting about as repetitive as talking about real estate with one exception: while the national news media is clear on what 100 degrees looks and feels like, you won’t get a single commentary that accurately describes the real estate market in Gilbert with any level of consistency across news channels.

Melanie Nemetz

The problem is not so much that people can’t pull the data correctly, but that the interpretations of the data are cloaked in a variety of different emotions based on historical trends, outlier experiences, or inaccurate connections between leading and lagging indicators. And the truth of the matter is that while we can’t predict the future, the closer we get to understanding the local real estate climate, the better we can predict – at least in the short term – what to expect from a consumer perspective. Let’s be clear: we are talking about houses here, not shoes, not handbags, but houses. People need places to live and right now, we don’t have enough

places for people to live in Gilbert – or across the Valley, for that matter. Period. That is the driving factor – and will continue to be the driving factor – for the extreme appreciation of pricing that we’ve seen in the last 18 months and can expect to see for at least the next six months. Before something can come down, it has to stop going up. These may seem like reasonable economic concepts but with lots of click bait swirling around

the internet, we still have many theories to dispel. The good news is that some level of skepticism is being given rumors of houses appreciating an average $100K in a single year. It means that people haven’t completely lost their sense of reality and it’s likely keeping people from making really bad decisions right now. What is normal: Questioning how the monthly median sales price can rise

24.6 percent in just one year. Or why the builders are moving away from advertising prices to holding auction style Zoom bidding for lots to combat a 5.3 percent increase in pricing in the same time period. For the 5,500 people who have bought or sold houses in Gilbert in the last year, it has definitely paid off. With active listing counts in Gilbert about the same month over month, we’re watching with a very close eye the rate of new listings hitting the market. We’ve been warning of a market cooling that will not likely be reflected in pricing for many months to come. We’re finally seeing it, hoswever, in the fastest pace of new listings since April 2020. With the end to forbearance for many owners coming up this summer, we will likely see this number increase. The pace of new listings will indicate how soon prices stop escalating quite as quickly as they have been. This should be music to our buyers’

ears: more inventory and still appreciating values. While many people think they should wait for a true buyer’s market, the idea that prices would be going down as you get your keys just doesn’t seem like anything I’d be shouting about from the top of the water tower. In fact, it feels like we might be in the best window of buying opportunity that we’ve seen all year. What is usually a very uneventful time for real estate, summer will likely be one of the cheapest times to buy houses in the next 1218 months as prices and interest rates continue to rise. Have a home to sell before you buy? You are the lucky ones that get to capitalize on both markets. For the first time since March, we are seeing a flattening in the number of listings under contract, the number of sales and supply. We are still selling in Gilbert at over 104 percent of list price which means competition for the few houses avail-

Gilbert father-coach making positive impact BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor

R

on Bellows isn’t one to scream or yell at the youth flag football players he coaches. That’s not the coaching style he was taught by his father growing up. Instead, he takes a calm approach. Oftentimes, if one of his youngsters does the wrong thing in practice or a game, he will calmly go over what they did wrong in an attempt to motivate them to fix their mistake. This style of coaching is one of the main reasons Bellows is beloved by not only his three boys he coaches but other players, too. “My current 12-year-old, when he was 5, I signed him up for football and they needed coaches, so I volunteered,” Bellows said. “They gave me him and nine other kids and they’ve stayed with me ever since. Now I’ve got that same 12U team, but I started coaching my middle son and my youngest. “I coached four teams this year. My boys’ three teams and because I had so many 12U players I created another team that I also coach.” Bellows’ week is filled with late evening and night practices for his four youth flag football teams in the Gilbert Youth Football League. He has practice Monday through Thursday, often twice a day to accommodate all the players he is responsible for on each team. Despite the several hours of practice every week, Bellows finds pure joy in coaching. And oftentimes, it comes with success. The three teams his sons play for all went undefeated this past season and

won the championship in their age division. Not only does Bellows genuinely enjoy winning with his boys, but he loves the excitement they all share when they win in the same season. That alone makes all the hours spent on practice fields worth it. “I do it for the kids,” Bellows said. “I love football and just enjoy working with them. I have a great group of parents with these kids and we all hangout outside of football. It’s like I have a second family.” Bellows grew up playing football under his father. At the time, tackle was the

only option as flag had not yet become a sport. He learned under his dad’s tutelage for five years. His dad taught him all the basics, from proper form tackling to how to carry the ball when running. He was also taught how to catch, forming a diamond with both hands so the nose of the ball lodges between his palms. He still teaches many of those same techniques to his players. But he also aims to instill certain values into them that will not only make them better football players but people as well. “The things I learned in football are

the ones I’ve carried on in my life,” Bellows said. “Discipline, responsibility not just for yourself but for your teammates and accountability. Those are big ones. I try to show them leadership and give them opportunities to be a leader but to also learn how to play as a team.” While the wins and championships are meaningful to Bellows, he thrives off the success stories of some of his players. In the past, he requested one of his players move up a division. Bellows knew he could compete at a higher level. While the boy’s parents were skeptical, they obliged. “He came to practice and did great,” Bellows said. “From that day on, he played up with the older kids. His parents told me a couple of weeks ago that his confidence has been through the roof. He now plays travel baseball and having him play up when he was 7 helped him break out of his shell as a quiet kid.” That is the type of impact Bellows hopes to make on all of the kids he coaches, including his sons. He truly cherishes every moment he is able to spend with them bonding over a sport they all love. And it has become even better sharing the same passion with others who look up to him as a father figure as well. “It’s good to be able to spend that time with them,” Bellows said. “The fact that all three of my boys play and I can be out there with them, it’s a different aspect of parenting and having that extra time with them. Those are memories they will all carry with them, which means a lot.”

Gilbert siblings make music together BY ASHLYN ROBINETTE GetOut Staff

A

Gilbert brother and sister musical duo recently released the third song they have written and recorded together from their home studio. Sophie Dorsten, 19, in collaboration with her brother, Alex Dorsten, 22, released “Until June” on May 28 and will be releasing new songs together about every month this year. “Until June” is available now via all digital retail outlets and streaming platforms. The pandemic influenced their latest piece – and, in a way, their collaboration. “The ‘you’ in ‘Until June’ is fear and doubt,” Sophie said. “In this time of uncertainty and COVID-19, we’ve all been by ourselves for a long time and fear can creep in. “I want listeners to hear the song and learn to not let fear overcome them or let it make them question their decisions.” The dynamic sibling duo, with Sophie on vocals and Alex on guitar, originally had separate music careers, but when the pandemic struck, they utilized their time in quarantine to write songs together. It only took about half an hour to write “Until June,” but the recording process took about a month to perfect from their bedroom studio, Alex said. Alex said he takes musical inspiration from Seattle’s indie folk band Fleet Foxes while Sophie is inspired by California’s indie rock band From Indian Lakes. Sophie is also inspired by Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, a successful indie pop brother-sister pair who have co-written and produced many tracks together and simultaneously release their own music. Like Eilish and O’Connell, Sophie and Alex maintain solo careers while also making music together. “I still write my own songs and he still

Gilbert siblings Sophie and Alex Dorsten plan to release more new songs, possibly on a monthly basis, this year. (Special to GetOut) writes his own songs and then we write together,” Sophie said. The Dorstens’ next song together is “Red Skies,” to be released July 2. After that, they will release a new song consistently every four to five weeks. “We’ll be sticking with each other for a while,” Alex said. The siblings say they have been musicians for as long as they can remember. Along with their younger brother, Joey, they were in a little band called “Sophie and the Boyz” where Sophie, then 9, sang and played bass guitar, Alex, then 12, played guitar, and Joey, 7, played the drums. After a few years, the band broke up and at 13, Sophie taught herself acoustic guitar and started writing songs while Alex, 16, moved on to play guitar for another band called “Vintage Wednesday.” That was 2016 and it was during that year Sophie wrote and recorded her first EP, “Beauty of the Heart.” Since then, she has released two more EP’s and a few sin-

gles, according to her website. Sophie has sung at over 50 venues in Arizona, including The Van Buren, Marquee Theatre and Crescent Ballroom. Alex has performed at just as many venues, if not more, as “Vintage Wednesday” was doing over a 100 shows a year at one point. Sophie has volunteered for the past several years at Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Center in Phoenix, Cooper’s faith-based non-profit facility that offers free programs for teens (12-20) in music, dance, video production and more, by giving vocal lessons and singing at or helping out with big events held. In the Alice Cooper Proof is in the Pudding talent competition in 2018, Sophie won second place while “Vintage

Wednesday” won the same in 2016. Sophie even performed back-up vocals with Cooper at a press release party at the teen center. “Vintage Wednesday” opened for Cooper on three separate occasions, once in 2016 and twice in 2017. In 2018, “Vintage Wednesday” broke up because everyone wanted to do their own thing, Alex said. When the pandemic hit, Alex had to come home from Grand Canyon University, where he recently received a degree in marketing and advertising. Once he was home, he began making music with Sophie. Alex also helps run a two-man guitar shop in Phoenix called bel.Sonique Guitars where he works as the head of marketing and a luthier building guitars from scratch. The first song that Sophie and Alex made together was “Babydoll,” which was released in October 2020 – they followed up a month later with “Sea Salt.” The songs are inspired by chapters of Sophie’s life and her feelings, she said. She and Alex say they have an acoustic indie folk/pop sound and primarily use social media to promote their music. Alex and Sophie’s next performance together is at Pho Cao in Scottsdale on June 30. Live music starts at 6:30 p.m., but Alex and Sophie don’t perform until 7:15 p.m. To watch the official lyric video for “Until June,” go to Sophie’s YouTube channel, “Sophie Dorsten Music.” For more information on Sophie’s music or for upcoming solo show dates, go to sophiedorstenmusic.com

“Did your new hearing aids cost much?” inquired a friend. “Well,” said the new hearing aid user as she drew a deep breath.” my hearing loss cost me three friendships that I know of, a strained relationship with my husband, two grandchildren who think I don’t understand them, boredom at church, and lost interest in attending get-togethers.” After a reflective pause, she added: “Sure I invested some money to get these hearing aids... but it doesn’t compare with what it cost before I got them.”

Dawn had a beautiful soprano voice and enjoyed singing during worship services at the church of Christ every Sunday, where she was a longtime member. Her family traveled to cooler climates when she was in her pre-teen and teenage years to help Ruth’s severe arthritis. The family spent summertime and a school year at Prescott High School where she met Bob Knight, an upper-classman and football player who was in choir class too.
