Gilbert carny operator called human trafficker BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

Gilbert operator of a family owned traveling carnival was accused of confiscating the passports of over 20 Mexican nationals and forcing them to work 70 hours a week without water or meal breaks and housing them in poor living conditions. Jordan Nathaniel Jensen, 31, faced 12 felony counts related to human trafficking, according to the Utah Attorney General’s Office. Jensen remained in Weber County Jail

last week without bail. An attorney representing Midway West Amusements denied any wrong-doing by Jensen. Jensen was scheduled for an initial court appearance July 12, according to Richard Piatt, an Attorney General spokesman. Jensen, a Highland High School graduate, was arrested July 1 at Newgate Mall in Ogdon where Midway West Amusements was set up with its games and rides such as TiltA-Whirl, the Zipper and Gravitron. The entertainment business is also owned and operated by Jensen’s mother, Michelle

Marie Jensen, 56, and a brother Hunter Austin Jensen, 24, officials said. Both live in Gilbert. “These laborers were living and working in inhumane conditions that could be dangerous to their health and even their lives,” said Attorney General Sean D. Reyes in a news release. “They were paid a paltry amount and had costs deducted on top of that. “By withholding their H-2B visas, Midway West Amusements was coercing them

Making it effective July 1, the measure “prohibits a county, city, town, school district governing board or charter school governing body from requiring students or staff use face coverings during school hours and on school property.” That means districts not only are forbidden from requiring students and staff to wear masks in classrooms but also can-

Gilbert officials jubilant over July 4 turnout BY SYDNEY MACKIE GSN Staff Writer

ilbert Parks and Recreation Department’s inaugural Independence Day bash at Gilbert Regional Park was a, well, sparkling success. “I’ve been working with the town for 20 years and I’ve been doing special events for 10 years, this was definitely the largest event that I have work and quite a spectacle to see for sure,” said Mike Leppert, senior town recreation coordinator. Equipped with an amphitheater, playground, splash pad and a lake for recreational fishing, Gilbert Regional Park was designed for thousands of families to enjoy a day out in nature. The July 4 celebration – with 12 distinct food truck, live music by a Garth Brooks tribute band and a brilliant fireworks display – also demonstrated the park’s capacity for major events. “We’re hoping that it will be the next Tempe Beach Park, the amphitheater and event lawn can hold up to 15,000 people. We want big concerts and all sorts of fun stuff happening out there,” said Eva Kirschbaum, Parks and Recreation Department spokeswoman. Gilbert had a leg up on its municipal neighbors as both Tempe and Phoenix canceled their fireworks shows, Mesa held a drive-in show a day earlier and Chandler restricted spectators to inside or near their vehicles. No such restrictions existed at the Regional Park, where members of the Gilbert Parks and Recreation Foundation sold items like glow sticks to raise funds for their summer program. And Leppert said Gilbert’s event now

Kirschbaum said her department hoped 10,000 people would come to Gilbert Regional Park to celebrate, and that officials were pleasantly surprised that twice that number showed up to party. Leppert also cited the unexpectedly larger crowd was comfortably accommodated by the spacious park. Parking, however, was on a firstcome first-served basis. Parks and Recreation board member David Boudinet gushed with enthusiasm. “We’re here to celebrate like everyone else, you’ve got to celebrate with fun things like glow sticks and fireworks,” Boudinet said. “This is what’s fun, like Spectators flocked to Gilbert’s inaugural Independence Day America!” celebration at Gilbert Regional Park with a crowd twice as Moving forward, the large as officials had expected.

How Gilbert killer’s story unraveled in bizarre case GSN NEWS STAFF

s her husband lay dying on the floor of her Chandler home, Lori Vallow went to a drug store to buy flipflops. That chilling account of the July 11, 2019, shooting death of her husband Charles Vallow is part of a heavily redacted probable cause statement by Chandler detectives that prompted a Maricopa County county grand jury last month to accuse Lori Vallow of conspiracy to commit first degree murder. The shooter, her brother Alexander Cox, died mysteriously in his Gilbert home four months later. The grand jury action comes as Lori Vallow faces first degree murder charges in Idaho in the deaths of her 7-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter, whose remains were found in 2020 on land owned by Chad Daybell. Daybell, who married Vallow after her husband’s slaying, also is charged with murder in the children’s slayings. Vallow is undergoing psychiatric examination after a judge found her mentally incompetent to face murder charges their deaths. Although the Maricopa County grand jury indictment gave few details about Charles Vallow’s slaying, the Chandler Police document details a twisted tale of a woman who considered herself “an exalted goddess” with supernatural powers and schemed with her late brother to kill her estranged husband and collect his Social Security and other benefits. The shooting initially was considered self-defense after Cox told detectives he shot Charles Vallow when the victim came at him with a baseball bat. But the probable cause statement shows detectives weren’t buying that story from the get-go. “There was concern about a potential bullet strike on the ground near Charles Vallow’s body,” it states. “There was also concern regarding the timeline of events that came to light in the days following the homicide. “None of these concerns would immediately provide probable cause for

Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow have been charged in Idaho with the slayings of her children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua, 7.

Charles Vallow the arrest of anyone present at the time of the murder and more investigation was necessary.” Ultimately, they concluded: “The evidence shows that Charles’ death was a planned event and necessary to prevent Charles and others from confronting Lori about her extreme religious beliefs when he came to town on 07/11/2019. The death of Charles Vallow was also necessary in order for Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow to marry and fulfill their religious prophecy.” As police dug deeper, they discovered “Charles and Lori Vallow were experiencing turmoil in their marriage” and that he moved Lori, her daughter and their adoptive son to Four Peaks Place in Chandler while he lived in Texas. Detectives also discovered that “Charles was concerned for Lori’s mental health as she had begun to express that she was selected to prepare 144,000 people for the end of the world. “Concerned for her well-being and that of the children, Charles filed a mental health petition asking for a mental health evaluation,” detectives said. “In this petition, Charles talked about how Lori had told him that he was possessed by a dark spirit by the name of Ned Schneider. Lori would even refer to Charles in conversation and documentation by the name of Ned. “This turmoil in the relationship can be substantiated through police reports, court orders, police body camera

footage, cell phone records and witness testimony.” Lori also had locked Charles out of the family’s home and had withdrawn $35,000 from their joint bank account. Charles also called Gilbert police, telling officers, “She’s lost her mind,” according to the probable cause statement. “She thinks she’s a resurrected being. Her religious stuff has gone way off the deep end.” Gilbert Police eventually concluded, “There was no information obtained that Lori had committed a crime. There was no information obtained that Charles and Lori’s children were in danger.” Following Charles’ slaying, a number of suspicious occurrences strengthened detective’s doubts about Cox’s story. No one could contact the two children, and Lori kept giving misleading information on there whereabouts. On Oct. 3, 2019, Cox was mentioned as a possible suspect in the attempted slaying of an individual whose name is redacted in the probable cause statement. Three weeks after that shooting, Chad Daybell’s wife, Tammy, was reported to have died in her sleep. A month later, Lori and Chad were married. And in December 2019, Cox collapsed and died in his Gilbert home of what the Maricopa County Medical Examiner ruled were natural causes. Police used data from Cox’s phone to find the location of the children’s bodies a year later. Authorities say text messages exchanged between Lori and Cox showed the siblings planned to murder Charles because he was ‘blocking’ her spiritual superpowers.

Investigators said Lori was trying to forge a relationship with Daybell in the months leading up to Charles’ death and said that a couple weeks before his death, Charles discovered a letter Lori wrote to Daybell and confronted her about having an extramarital affair. “Charles asked Lori to come clean about her relationship with Chad Daybell by the end of the day or he would contact Tamara Daybell and inform her of the relationship,” court records state. Detectives also said Lori apparently had started plotting her husband’s demise almost a year before he was shot, citing a text message written in November 2018. Three months later, she wrote another text to an unidentified party in which “there is specific conversation to cause harm to Charles Vallow,” according to the probable cause statement. A month before the killing, Lori ramped up her menacing texts, according to police. In one text she said, “We give timing to the Lord but we don’t need to relent. This is war.” Three weeks after that text, she looked up Charles’ Social Security Disability benefits online and also found out that he had apparently changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy. “He changed it in March,” she texted Chad Daybell seven days after he killed Charles. “So it was probably Ned (Charles) before we got rid of him….I still get the $4,000 a month from SS.” Detailing Charles’ killing on the morning of July 11, 2019, the probable cause statement said phone data and other evidence tore holes in Cox’s ac-

count of the shooting. Detectives learned one of the two gunshots fired into Vallow’s chest came as the victim lay flat, noting the bullet passed through his body and into the floor – indicating the victim was already flat on the floor. Phone records further showed that Cox waited 43 minutes before calling 911 to report the shooting. After the shooting, Lori took her slain husband’s phone and rented vehicle. She then went to get fast food from Burger King and after that to Walgreen’s to buy flipflops. Detectives also said that when Alex called 911, “he acted as if he was performing life-saving measures on Charles. “It was not until emergency person-

nel began life-saving measures that they saw blood coming from Charles’ body. This would indicate Alex performed no emergency aid.” During the initial hours after the murder, Lori and the two children told investigators Charles had started a physical altercation. The probable cause statement also said that as they were leaving the home, Lori and her daughter reported having heard a gunshot. The statement notes Lori and Alex gave conflicting answers as to why he had been in the house in the first place the morning of Charles’ ill-fated visit. “It has been proven how valuable Alex Cox was to Lori,” detectives wrote. “His mission on earth was to protect his sister.”

Residents at the meeting said they were fed up with the loud noise, partying, street parking and trash that come with people who book their through platforms

such as VRBO, Airbnb and Travelocity. The HOA president at the meeting said the Association office was increasingly fielding complaints from homeowners

to work under these conditions. This is a classic case of human trafficking or indentured servitude.” Reyes’ office is still investigating the case and officials indicated they expected more victims and arrests. The case unfolded after two non-English speaking carnival workers left and contacted the Mexican Consulate in Salt Lake City. The victims, identified as “J.V.” and “J.L.” in court documents, told officials they arrived to the United States in April or May to begin their jobs with Midway West Amusements under the H-2B visa program that allows them to legally work in the country temporarily. They were hired while still living in Mexico. J.V. stated his job was to help set up stands and ensure their proper operation while J.L.’s job was to drive the carnival’s trucks across states and help operate heavy machinery. They were hired to work normal hours for $400 a week, officials said. Both men said Jensen confiscated their passports and visas sometime after their arrival, according to documents. The men also stated they learned from the other workers – all foreign nationals – that this was a common practice at Midway West Amusements. “J.V. reported that Jordan Nathaniel Jensen explained to him he kept their passports because he didn’t want anyone to escape,” according to officials. “Jordan Nathaniel Jensen also told J.V. that he (Jordan Nathaniel Jensen) had the right to keep passports according to a contract his company had signed with the U.S. government. “J.V. reported that Jordan Nathaniel Jensen stated they preferred foreign workers and avoided hiring American workers.” The two men told officials that immediately after the start of their employment, they worked “extremely long hours, approximately 70 hours a week, without water or meal breaks. Midway West Amusements in its job order posted with the U.S. Department of Labor was seeking 42 temporary and full-time workers for April 1-Nov. 15. The ad stated a 39-hour work week with a pay range of $9.72 an hour to

$13.62 an hour, depending on the location – four counties in Arizona and four counties in Utah. It also stated possible overtime pay of $14.58 an hour to $20.43 an hour. The job listing included a daily subsistence provided at a rate of at least $12.68 a day during travel to a maximum of $55 a day with receipts. H-2B workers also was to be reimbursed in the first workweek for all visa, visa processing, border crossing and other related fees, including those mandated by the government except passport fees. Midway also stated it will provide workers at no charge all tools, supplies, and equipment required to perform the job. Optional free housing also was promised. What was stated in the ad and what workers found when they arrived to the job site was worlds apart.

“They lived in a confined space inside of (a) mobile trailer without running water, electricity or air conditioning,” according to officials. “Some of the trailers contained a bed, some did not. J.V. and J.L. reported they had no kitchen to cook a meal. “Both victims reported they were not allowed to leave their working area. Many times the owners of the business would not give them water or allow them to take a water break for an entire shift, and by the end of a shift they were extremely hungry and thirsty.” The two men also told officials that the owners, in particular, Jordan Jensen, would constantly threaten to send them back to Mexico if they did not perform their job well and without complaint.

J.V. and J.L. reported they were “subjected to hostile working conditions and worked under duress.” They both felt they could not complain to any authority without fear of reprisal, officials said. The two men finally informed Jordan Jensen they wanted to leave and asked for their last week’s pay and the return of their passports. They reported to officials that Jordan Jensen ridiculed them, stating he would not pay them or give them back their passports until they were back in Mexico. After hearing the men’s story, the Mexican Consulate contacted the Asian Association of Utah, which helps refugees and immigrants. The AAU in turn reported the incident to the Utah Attorney General’s Office, where the S.E.C.U.R.E. Strike Force or Special Enforcement of Crimes Against Undocumented Residents, conducted the investigation. On June 30, agents equipped J.V. with audio and video recording devices for his return to the carnival staging area. According to officials, J.V. approached Jordan Jensen and asked him for his last week of pay but Jensen refused. A man on site named Victor, a Mexican national, acted as a translator for the two. J.V. also asked for his passport and visa back, which Jensen again refused to do. “Jordan Nathaniel Jensen then advised J.V. that since he left his employment, he would not give his passport back nor pay him for hours already worked,” officials said. “Jordan Nathaniel Jensen instead told J.V. he would buy him a plane ticket back to Mexico. Jordan Jensen stated that once J.V. had boarded the plane then he would give him his passport back,” officials said. The Attorney General’s Office reported that on that same day, it received a tip about a possible human-trafficking offense on the national human trafficking hotline. “The tip reported that two people with the names of Jordan Jensen and Michelle Jensen were exploiting approximately

15 foreign workers,” officials said. The tip also reported the traffickers were operating a business at the Newgate Mall in Ogden, which corroborated the information provided by J.V. and J.L., according to officials. The name of the business was not disclosed in the news release. Agents on July 1 executed a search warrant at the carnival site. “Upon arrival at the location of the mobile office/trailer, agents observed Hunter Jensen hurriedly returning passports/visas to workers,” according to court documents. Agents said Hunter Jensen informed them his brother Jordan Jensen instructed him to return the passports/visas that day. The Attorney General’s Office requested a no-bail hold on Jordan Jensen, stating he “presents a clear danger to the public given the volume of offenses, the nature of the offenses and the number of victims involved.” The office also noted that Jensen “lives a transient existence with Midway West Amusements and travels the country throughout a large portion of the year.” Attorney Wayne Pierce, counsel for the Outdoor Amusement Business Association, said accusations of unlawful possession of another’s identification are not true. He said the Jensens collected the workers’ passports and visas for “valid and innocent reasons.” “They needed to do copies in order to obtain requested employment papers,” Pierce explained. “They needed to get Social Security numbers. They asked

NEWS

folks to give it to them to make copies and unfortunately there were technical problems.” Pierce said the copying machine was not working and so it took longer for copies to be made but eventually copies were made and the passports returned. “If someone wanted it they could have asked for it and gotten them,” he said. “It was not being withheld. They temporarily took possession of them for a legitimate business purpose.” When asked about the audio and video taping of the conversation between J.V. and Jensen where the victim asked for his last paycheck and passport and was denied, Pierce could not give much information. “Jordan is in jail and not available to talk,” Pierce said. “I don’t know with any specificity what was said. Secondly the prosecutor’s office has not been forthcoming. The discovery request was made and not responded to. I have not seen the file yet.” Pierce also scoffed at the allegation the workers toiled long hours. “Under no circumstance they worked 70 hours a week,” Pierce said. “It did not happen even if they worked every stinking moment from the time the show opened until the show closed. There wasn’t 70 hours of operations. It didn’t happen. As a rule actually the working hours was in area of 30 or 35 per week.” He also said the workers got breaks as Midway assigned one of the guys as a “breaker” with the responsibility of alleviating other workers so they could

Group vows to smother tax break for rich rizonans may get the last word on a nearly $2 billion tax cut plan that mainly benefits the wealthy. Organizers of what had been the Invest in Ed initiative that voters approved in November have crafted three separate proposals to take to the ballot in 2022. They want the public to decide whether to ratify the decision by state lawmakers to: create a 2.5 percent flat tax rate, scrap the current progressive rates; cap anyone’s taxes at no more than 4.5 percent, including the 3.5 percent surcharge in Proposition 208; and create a new tax category for small business owners to allow them to escape having to pay any of that surcharge. An analysis of the plan shows that about 53 percent of the tax relief will go to the 9,645 Arizonans with a taxable income of more than $1 million. By contrast, only about 1 percent is available for those who have taxable earnings of $50,000 or less.

For those in the $20,000 to $25,000 range, for example, legislative budget staffers figure the average tax cut would be $3, rising to $5 for those in the $25,000 to $30,000 income bracket and $8 for those between $30,000 and $40,000 range. Those in the $75,000 to $100,000 income bracket would see a cut of $115. It is not until reaching the $200,000 to $500,000 range where the average cut hits four digits. Backers need 118,823 valid signatures on petitions by Sept. 28 to force a vote. Given the number of signatures that are normally disqualified, a more realistic goal would be closer to 150,000. But the groups involved in the effort have a proven track record of not just getting proposals on the ballot but getting voters to go along with them. Potentially more significant, if they reach that goal, it immediately prevents any of the challenged measures from taking effect until the 2022 election. At that point voters would get to say whether they agree with what the leg-

islature did or not. A spokesman for Gov. Doug Ducey, who championed the tax-cut plans, said he would have no comment unless and until the backers got the signatures. At the heart of the fight are two questions: whether the state should forego close to $2 billion in revenues – the total that would be collected without the three measures at issue – and who should benefit if there are tax cuts. David Lujan, one of the organizers of Invest in Education – now being renamed Invest in Arizona – said he believes there is strong public opposition to what the Republican-controlled Legislature enacted. “This is a tax give-away to the rich and it’s giving away Arizona’s future in the form of tax cuts to the rich,’’ he said. “Arizona has, we think, a lot of more important priorities like funding our public schools, funding health care for kids, infrastructure, that we should be focusing on before giving huge tax cuts to the rich,’’ Lujan said. The legislative changes are the result of two separate forces.

Many Republicans have long argued for a flat tax rate. Separately, Ducey and GOP lawmakers said if Proposition 208 is allowed to take effect as crafted, it would dampen economic recovery. Lawmakers are powerless to rescind the surcharge as it was approved by voters. Instead, they created a new 4.5 percent top rate, effectively reducing the tax rate for other earnings for those affected to just 1 percent. That plan, however, still provides the funds for K-12 education with what is not paid by the wealthy and instead comes out of general tax revenues paid by everyone else. That’s not the case with SB 1783. It creates a new “small business’’ tax category which, because it did not exist when Proposition 208 was approved, is exempt from the surcharge. And that could reduce the collections for education, which otherwise might reach $940 million, by more than $200 million a year.

have some respite. Addressing the allegations about housing, Pierce said traveling carnivals rely on bunk houses or trailers pulled by large trucks from one location to another. “They’re commercially made,” Pierce said, adding a recognized business entity manufactured the trailers to industry standards. Some trailers may come with air conditioning and some without, he added. But, “they pretty much always have electricity,” Pierce said. He said generators need to be at a site long enough to charge and make power so if the complaint was there was no electricity when workers showed up, that’s a true statement. “On the other hand, if they never had electricity, that is ridiculous because the carnival would be out of business because that same electricity fuels the carnival,” he said. “You need to know

what they are claiming the sweeping allegations we don’t have electricity is ludicrous and not possible.” Pierce also said the H-2B visa program sets the wage rate. “We don’t determine it,” he added. “If he has a problem with it he needs to talk with the Department of Labor, which sets the wage rate.” Pierce said one of the victims was employed at Midway for about three weeks and the other man was there a bit longer. He surmised that the two men made up the allegations because they absconded from Midway in hopes of finding better-paying jobs. Under the H-2B program, workers can only work for the employer who petitioned for them and is on their documentations. “There is a percentage, a very low percentage, less than 1 percent, my

guess, of employees who say, ‘you know what, I can’t take off and abscond and go make a hell lot more money,’” Pierce said. They can “illegally find employment and make a lot more money for someone willing to look the other way. “Both took off, absconded. The AG conveniently ignored that fact. They took off before having their paperwork and all they had to do is ask (Jensen) for them and now they are trying to back-pedal and have their cake and eat it, too. They wanted to go somewhere else to work.” Before working in the family business, Jordan Jenson worked at Aspire Kids Sports Center and had studied at Coconino Community College, according to his LinkedIn account. According to the company’s website, Jordan Jensen’s parents Nathan and Michelle Jensen started Midway West Amusements.

The Arizona Corporation Commission showed that the business was approved in 2006. Michelle Jensen was listed as the president and her husband, Nathan Jensen, the vice president in 2020. Nathan Jensen, a Phoenix native, has over 30 years working in the carnival business while Michelle Jensen was born into the business, the company’s website stated. The couple has had money issues over the years with numerous state and federal tax liens, according to court records. And, their home in the Rancho Corona neighborhood in Gilbert escaped a trustee sale at least three times, the most recent in 2018, according to the Maricopa County Recorder. The couple also was sued in 2013 by their homeowners association and in 2000 by Century 21 Northwest.

The ban also deprives districts of a tool many relied on to keep COVID-19 transmission levels stable in the community as well as protect students and staff. And it comes as the more contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 looms as a threat. Heidi Vega, spokeswoman for the Arizona School Boards Association, said, “As far as the ban on masks, we think the biggest thing to emphasize is that now with variants causing concerns, it will be on the Legislature to deal with the debate over masks. “Districts and school boards are now powerless to implement any mask measures without the Legislature say so even if the CDC recommends. This will cause problems in the fall with the Legislature out of session,” Vega added. While the measure does not proscribe penalties for entities that violate the ban

The ban is one of dozens of measures that were tacked on without any hearing to the state budget bill passed and signed by Gov. Doug Ducey June 30. While the Centers for Disease Control on July 9 said vaccinated students and staff do not need to wear masks on schools, the Legislature outlawed any COVID vaccination or mask requirement for in-classroom instruction. Chandler Unified, Gilbert Public Schools and Higley Unified made masks optional in May, but prior to that, their governing boards often heard from passionate opponents and proponents of the mandate. Parents and even students were divided over the requirement and

some board members expressed dismay over its polarizing impact. Reaction to the ban from the three district serving Gilbert was relatively low-key. Asked if Chandler Unified had any reaction, spokesman Terry Locke replied, “Not particularly because we had no intention of implementing either of these measures.” “At this time in Gilbert Public Schools, the wearing of face-coverings is optional for both students and employees, as approved by our Governing Board,” GPS spokeswoman Dawn Antestenis said. “We anticipate that this will continue for the beginning of the school year and is in accordance with the most recent guidance from the Governor’s office. Throughout COVID-19 we have worked with the guidance provided to us both locally and nationally and we will continue to keep up-to-date on recommendations, including mitigation strategies, and act with the best interests of our students, employees, and community at the center of any decision making that may be required going forward.” Higley Unified did not comment. The mask mandate ban was sponsored by Kingman Republican Rep. and dentist Regina Cobb, who represents the district that includes Lake Havasu. According to Today’s News-Herald Havasu News, Cobb and the rest of that district’s delegation had lobbied Lake Havasu officials to lift their mask requirement as early as last September, although it is unclear if they had also joined parents pressing the school board to lifting its mandate, which expired at the end of the school year. Cobb and her two district colleagues also joined the Mohave County Board of Supervisors in sending a letter to the governor in May of last year that demanded he lift restrictions on businesses. Cobb also appeared before Kingman City Council to criticize its mask man-

Condemning the Legislatures’s ban on mask mandates during a press conference last week were, clockwise from upper right, Dr. Cadey Harrel, family physician in Tucson and the Arizona State Lead for the Committee to Protect Health Care; Dr. Ricardo Correa, an endocrinologist in Phoenix; and Dr. Elizabeth Jacobs, professor of epidemiology.

This is a blanket violation of our constitutional rights and civil liberties.” The Legislature’s approval of the ban on mandates – which drew support from no Democratic representative or senator – comes at a time when vaccination rates are flagging and when the more contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 has been spreading across Arizona and the rest of the country. “Prohibiting schools from making mask mandates is foolhardy,” said LD18 Rep. Mitzi Epstein, whose district includes a portion of Mesa. “The science shows that masks reduce the spread of diseases, not just COVID-19 but also other illnesses that are contagious via respiratory droplets, like the flu,” Epstein added, contending

“there is a noisy minority who want no mandates about face coverings – not anywhere.” Humble said that people who need to worry about that variant – which some experts said appears to trigger more serious cases of COVID-19 infection and most hospitalizations – are those who have not been vaccinated. And that includes most K-12 students, especially those in lower grades who have not been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration to get COVID shots. “The K-5 kids – none of them will be vaccinated,” Humble said. “And K6-12 – the vaccination rates are pretty poor still and only Pfizer is so far the only one that can go below age 16.” “As a new school year begins, though, there are still risks with this virus and particularly because of Delta – it’s a lot easier to catch it,” he continued. “It’s dangerous in that it just spreads so much easier but once you get it, it’s not worse than Alpha.”

The Arizona Department of Health Services said 49.6 percent of all eligible Arizonans had received at least one dose of the vaccine. When considering only those age 18 and older, the number in Arizona rose to 62.2 percent, according to an analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That was good for 29th place among states and the District of Columbia. Maricopa County data released last week show only 48.7 percent of all eligible Gilbert residents are fully vaccinated and 54 percent have received one shot. County data also show the COVID-19 transmission level within the boundaries of Gilbert’s two school districts is “substantial.” GPS data show 56 cases per 100,000 and a positive test result rate of 6.9 percent while Higley shows 54 cases per 100,000 and a 7.5 percent positivity rate. Within CUSD boundaries, transmission levels are considered moderate with 47 cases per 100,000 and 4.4 percent of new test results coming back positive. Humble said the mask mandate ban had been in the works for days and condemned state Department of Health Services Director Cara Christ for keeping silent. DHS did not respond to an AFN request for comment. He also rapped Ducey for approving the measure. “From a public health point of view and local control point of view, it’s also hypocritical because he keeps saying he’s in favor of school choice. Well, this this definitely takes away choice from parents. There’s no district in the whole state where they can take their kid – especially one who is immunocompromised – that’s going to have assurances that the faculty and students are going to be wearing masks.” Tribune Managing Editor Tom Scanlon contributed to this report.

Neighbors satisfied with radically altered housing project BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

New Village Homes’ original plan for 41 rental units on 5 infill acres at Ray Road and Val Vista Drive has now dropped down to 18 single-family homes. “I’ve never worked on a project that has had this dramatic of a density cut,” said attorney Taylor Earl, representing the developer at last week’s Planning

Earl noted that typically with infill property, the density is higher because it’s the last remaining undeveloped site and everything around it has been built with retail and infrastructure in place. That drives up the price of land. In order for a project to be profitable, additional units are needed, he said. “This is very common to have that happen,” he said. “Yet with infill we always want to make sure we can make it fit into the fabric as much as possible.” After Ashland Ranch residents and appear at that time is because the Arizona Supreme Court concluded that the wording in the legal description was misleading.

That was the same group that turned in enough signatures in the same 90-day period to block the decision by the legislature to expand the number of children eligible for vouchers. “They’ve shown they know how to successfully do referendums,’’ he said.

some commissioners in the Jan. 6 meeting voiced concerns with namely the density, Earl asked for a continuance. The developer then revised the project to 34 homes but still received push-back from residents, prompting New Village Homes to come up with its latest design. The 18 lots would now be similar in size and density to the lots and homes surrounding the site, according to Earl.

“The great feature is the open space on each lot,” he said, adding each lot would have a backyard large enough for a pool and a livable sideyard that’s not just a site to place an air conditioner. The community would be gated and offer four floor plans – three single-stories and one two-story homes with a

Podcast puts Gilbert mayor in the hot seat BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

rigette Peterson is half-way through her first year as mayor and is already under siege The former councilwoman and longtime planning commissioner has been accused of ethics violations and recently a podcast accusing her of racism is circulating – again. Peterson called the podcast, which first debut a month before the July primary, a “dirty stunt.” The podcast features Jason Cvancara, a former cop who unsuccessfully ran for Gilbert Council twice, interviewing Elizabeth “Eli” Harper for her experience as a Black woman living in town. At the time of the interview, the country, including Gilbert, was experiencing civil unrest sparked by the murder of George Floyd. Harper, who owns an employee relations company, said she built her home in Gilbert in 1998 and loves the town and

Matt Nielsen, who ran against Peterson last year for mayor, singled her out in his inaugural newsletter on Gilbert issues and attached a link to that podcast interview. “Gilbert residents express to me regularly that they have experienced a sharp decline in trust of elected officials in our Town,” Nielsen said in his commentary released July 1. “More specifically, Mayor Brigette Peterson has disappointed and angered thousands of residents with her apparent disregard for their rights and desires when they come into conflict with the desires of wealthy developers,” he wrote.

he says will be “automatically suspect” so he is leaving it up for people to form their own opinion. Nielsen said his “What’s Going on in Gilbert” newsletter reached just under 1,000 people and he anticipated a monthly write-up. “The most common reaction to the Elizabeth Harper story is shock and disgust,” Nielsen told Gilbert Sun News in an email. “Residents can’t believe they hadn’t heard of it before and they’re disappointed that something like this wasn’t disqualifying for a local politician.” Nielsen said it wasn’t the residents of Morrison Ranch who approached him to do the newsletter. Two residents in Morrison Ranch’s Lakeview Trails each filed in June complaints with the Town against Peterson, accusing her of a conflict of interest and feeding information to a developer who wanted to increase the density of proposed apartments near them. The developer, Howard Morrison, co-chaired Peterson’s mayoral campaign and donated to her election. Peterson denied wrongdoing with the ethics complaints and denounced the podcast. She provided Gilbert Sun News the same comments she posted on social media in June 2020 when she first ad-

Spanish theme architecture. The single-story homes would be around 2,200 square feet and the two-story a bit larger, according to Earl. Senior Planner Stephanie Bubenheim said lots 8, 9 and 10 would be restricted to one-story so they won’t impact the existing adjacent single-family homes. Earl said the new plan now has letters of support from neighboring residents. He read a letter from Wendy Fitzpatrick, who in the January meeting was critical of the project and of the landowners, Rocky and Tina Riggs, for selling the land to the developer. Fitzpatrick said she was pleased that the developer worked with the existing homeowners on the new proposal. “New Village Homes not once but twice revised their plans to keep within the feel of the existing subdivisions,”

dressed Harper’s comments. “I want to assure you that the statements in that podcast have never been and will never be said by me and can be confirmed by the third-party present during that meeting,” Peterson said in her email. “This is a dirty stunt to discredit my good name and my longevity in the Town of Gilbert.” Peterson included in her email a recycled comment from Kayla Kolar, the former president/CEO of HD South, who arranged for and was present at the meeting. Kolar, now executive director of the nonprofit House of Refuge, supported Peterson, calling her “a woman who champions diversity.” “Elizabeth wanted advice on running for office and Brigette had just been elected to Town Council,” Kolar said. “We discussed getting more involved in the community, how difficult it can be to run for office, and the time commitment it takes. None of the statements shared in the podcast were said during that meeting.” Former Councilman Jared Taylor, when asked last year to share what he knew of the situation, gave a different recollection. He said he was the one who encouraged Harper to meet with Peterson to get

her insight for running for Council. Taylor was the Council liaison to the Human Relations Board when Harper served. “After her visit with Brigitte, she told me the same story that she shared in the podcast,” Taylor said in a social media post in June 2020. “She had previously shared her story with the HRC in a public meeting. I remember being very sad that Brigitte would discourage someone from running for Council on the basis of color.” Because it was the HRC’s last meeting before disbanding, there were no formal minutes but just handwritten notes. The disjointed notes included “Elizabeth-comment,” “stated working to run for council,” “was discouraged,” and “Not Black but conservative.” Taylor also vouched for Harper, whom he has known for a number of years, as “credible and honest.” Harper last week stood by her comments made in the podcast. She said she was unaware of Nielsen’s newsletter dredging up the podcast. Harper, who has since moved from Gilbert, said she didn’t file a formal complaint with the Town at the time because “what (Peterson) said wasn’t illegal.” “She just said something to me that was inappropriate than illegal,” Harper said. “I did share it at the time because I

She was in a position to support change and was not interested in it.” Harper said in a second meeting with Peterson to find out what she meant by her comments, Peterson denied making them. “She initially said it and didn’t remember saying it the second time we met up,” Harper recalled. Harper also found Kolar’s backing of Peterson “very disappointing” but that she has the utmost respect for Kolar and didn’t want to drag her into this issue. Harper criticized Peterson, stating, “She’s in the position of decision-making for so many people and she lacks integrity. That is unfortunate for someone in her position to not want to see equality for everyone.” “Gilbert is not a bad place but there’s old rules and old thinking in Gilbert that really needs to be revised,” she said, adding: “People who participated in the approval of segregated schools, the mindset is still in Gilbert in some of the older generations. Their descedants still carry that thought process where Gilbert doesn’t see everybody as equal.” Reed Porter and his wife, who are Gilbert residents. “They’ve over-accommodated for the neighbors,” said alternate Commissioner Colby Ashton. Chairman Carl Bloomfield said while the initial rental project looked cool and would have worked, the latest design feels different and would be a legacy product. Commissioner William Fay, who recalled he initially threw cold water on the original proposal because of the density, was now in support. “You did a fantastic job,” he said. “You actually went above and beyond.” Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend the Town Council approve the developer’s request for a rezone and a minor General Plan amendment. Staff did not say when the application will go to Council for final approval.

Gilbert teen’s science project draws plaudits GSN NEWS STAFF

t aged 17, Michelle Sheikh of Gilbert is already on her way toward helping to solve global health problems. And it’s no surprise the recent graduate of Arizona College Prep-Erie will be majoring in biomedical sciences with a global health minor when she begins her studies at Arizona State University’s Barrett, The Honors College this fall. The daughter of Zara and Salman Sheikh, Michelle won one of the Society for Science’s Special Awards of the Regeneron ISEF 2021, an international science competition for high school students. She is the first student in Arizona to win first place in both the U.S. Agency of International Development’s global health and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory competitions. Each year, organizations representing government, industry and education across a wide variety of scientific disciplines affiliate with Regeneron ISEF as special award sponsors, providing awards, scholarships internships and other prizes to hundreds of student finalists. Michelle’s awards from the U.S. Agency for International Development and U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory were for a project titled “A Novel Approach to Treating Burn Wound Infections Using Flavonoids: Exploring the Interaction between Antibiotics and Flavonoids.” “My project aims to provide a sustainable and effective antibiotic alternative and resistance modifying agent through

Michelle Sheikh of Gilbert’s high school experiment impressed judges of an international science competition. (GSN) the use of flavonoids,” she explained. Flavonoids are chemical compounds in plants “that possess antibiotic activity,” Michelle said, and because they are common in most fruits and vegetables, they are more readily available and cheaper than commercial antibiotics. Also, she added, “Flavonoids can enhance the antibiotic activity of commonly used antibiotics.” She began work on the project in early 2020. “I was inspired to work on my research project after reading the story of a 2-year-old Syrian refugee girl Aliyah who passed away from a preventable burn wound infection simply because there was an antibiotic shortage in her

war stricken home country,” Michelle said. “I was quite dismayed by how weak worldwide drug supply chains are at providing adequate access to antibiotics in developing countries,” she continued. “Basic pharmaceutical drugs such as amoxicillin, which are easily available in the United States, are lacking in the millions in underdeveloped and developing countries.” Hence, she found herself “motivated to develop a sustainable and affordable antibiotic alternative and resistance modifying agent.” Michelle’s award-winning project comprised two experiments – a “Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion test” and an “antimicrobial susceptibility test.” The first involved creating three solutions, one solely made of flavonoids, a second with flavonoids and amoxicillin and a third of amoxicillin as a control. “After creating these solutions a paper disc is soaked in each solution which is then transferred onto a petri dish streaked with E.coli. After 24 hours a clear area will appear around each paper disc where bacteria has been inhibited, the larger the clear area, the more bacteria have been inhibited – which is the ideal result.” The experiment showed that the mix of flavonoids and amoxicillin was the most effective. The goal of the second test was to see flavonoids and amoxicillin can work together to kill bacteria. “Essentially what this test found is that when even a small concentration of flavonoids was introduced to amoxicillin…

cell density, or the amount of bacteria, is significantly reduced,” Michelle said. Michelle conducted her experiments at the ASU Biodesign Institute under graduate student Rebecca Jernigan. Michelle isn’t done. “I plan on continuing this research in college by trying to design an efficient drug delivery system utilizing flavonoids and commercial antibiotics,” she said. Science has long been an interest to the precocious teen. “I believe that science has a major positive impact on society and this impact is growing as we have all seen how the several vaccines generated by science have helped curb the COVID-19 pandemic,” Michelle said. She is captivated by “the versatile opportunities it offers to make constructive contributions that can help bridge health disparities which are rampantly prevalent even in our developed society.” “I was motivated to create a feasible method to help reduce inequalities within antibiotic availability by creating a sustainable and cost-effective solution,” she said. Michelle also has won other accolades for her project. She took first place in biochemistry at the 2021 Chandler Innovation Fair for the second consecutive year and was among the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair’s top exhibits. An AP Scholar who graduated with a 4.5 GPA, Michelle also was among the top six finalists in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium competition.

PAD Impacts Everyday Living PHOENIX –The need to stop and rest after walking a short distance because of a leg cramps, numbness in the feet or leg pain could be more than normal aging or adjusting to increased activity. While the inclination may be to think it’s just part of getting older, these symptoms may be caused by vascular insufficiency. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of those conditions that is sometimes easy to dismiss. “If you find yourself needing to rest because your leg cramps when you walk even a short distance, or at night you need to stand up to relieve a cramp in your foot, that’s your legs and feet telling you they need help,” says Dr. Joel Rainwater, chief medical officer of Comprehensive Integrated Care (CiC). “PAD is often called the silent killer because you may have it and not even know,” says Rainwater. Its diagnosis is often delayed and not identified until it has progressed.

build-up occurs gradually and hardens into plaque inside the artery restricting blood flow. Without an adequate blood supply, the body can’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs to maintain healthy legs and feet. “It’s not normal to have difficulty walking to your mailbox, it’s not normal to have constant leg pain or cramping,” says Rainwater. It’s also interesting to note, that the symptoms of PAD and neuropathy are very similar. They include difficulty walking without taking a break, burning, tingling, numbness and/or pain. “When I see a patient who has been told they have neuropathy and they’ve been maximized on medication that’s not working, I know there may be something else causing it and one of the big, notorious offenders in that scenario is PAD,” says Rainwater. PAD is caused by the buildup of fatty material inside the arteries. This

“This is something we can fix,” explains Rainwater. “The good news about PAD, is that there’s hope. There is treatment and it’s excellent, it’s been one of the biggest success stories in all of medicine.” Patients are able to get back on their feet and everyday living with almost no downtime, no stitches and no overnight hospital stay. Medicare as well as most insurance plans will cover treatment. “I’m here to tell patients that there are options, all they have to do is ask. They might have to ask a different doctor, but they don’t have to live with the idea that they’re going to suffer for the rest of their life,” says Rainwater. His best advice, “Go look for answers.”

PAD IS OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED. WERE YOU? Y/N

Do you have difficulty walking without taking a break? Do you experience pain, numbness, or cramping in your feet or legs? Is you neuropathy treatment not making symptoms go away?

The symptoms of Neuropathy are very similar to those of PAD. It’s a circulation disorder which can be easily treated in our office without the need for general anesthesia. If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions, call our office today to see how our doctors can help.

Heel Pain Is on The Rise Restaurants are busy, baseball stadiums are welcoming fans, and this summer is slated to be one of the busiest travel seasons ever. “Getting back to a normal lifestyle can be a shock to your feet,” says Dr. Kerry Zang, podiatric medical director of CiC Foot & Ankle. More than two million Americans suffer from plantar fasciitis, a sharp, stabbing, sometimes burning pain in the heel or arch of the foot. It’s anticipated this number will rise as activity levels increase. It typically hurts when first getting up, may lessen after a few steps but always returns. In the past, a cortisone injection was given. “Cortisone manages the pain, but it doesn’t address what’s causing the pain,” says Zang. Now, new treatment options focus on resolving the condition, not just the treating the symptoms. “Regenerative medicine is one of the most promising ways to deal with pain, because it triggers the body to heal,” he explains. “One form is prolotherapy, which tricks the body into thinking it was injured and starts the healing process.” The FDA recently approved cold laser therapy for plantar fasciitis. “Laser treatment helps reduce pain, increase circulation and attracts the patient’s own growth factors to the area, all of which promote healing,” says Zang. If left untreated pain can become chronic, but the good news is there are still options. “Growth factor therapy jump starts and maintains regeneration of new tissues,” says Zang. “It’s all about healing.”

Gilbert man turning new venue into a go-to spot BY ASHLYN ROBINETTE GSN Staff Writer

Gilbert resident and performing arts legend aims to make a relatively new venue in Phoenix a goto entertainment destination. Ari Levin is now the executive director of the Madison Center for the Arts and has lined up a series of Broadway shows. Located at 5601 N. 16th St., the Madison is a state-of-the-art, 160,000-square-foot venue featuring a 908-seat auditorium, extensive veranda and spacious lobby with a 40-foot ceiling. “I thought that it would be a really exciting opportunity to take this brand-new theater and create a full professional season and bring new cultural arts to the Phoenix area that had never been here before,” Levin said. The Arizona State University alumni brings to the Madison a long list of performing arts and entertainment accolades. Levin is one of only a handful of Americans to play the title role of “Hamlet,” as well as produce and direct national tours with members of the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company in England. He was also the executive producer

and spent the last twenty years as the writer, executive producer and director of ShoWest and CinemaCon.

In addition to having skilled players in Anderson and Williams, the Pumas have another asset: a great friendship between the two. “We really just can come to each other about anything,” Anderson said. “(We’re) really just brothers now.” Anderson said it is going to be different seeing Williams handle the ball more as a point guard rather than a small forward, but that his teammate is getting used to his new role. Joining Anderson, Williams and the Pumas is Peat, who has eight Power 5 offers including Arizona, Kansas and Texas. He received his first collegiate offer from Arizona State in eighth grade. Graduating in 2025, the six-foot-seven forward is continuing his family’s connection with Duane. Brothers Andrus — an offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints and former five-star recruit who signed with Stanford — and Cassius played under the coach and won state championships at Corona Del Sol High School in Tempe. After going 15-3 in 2020, Perry is heading into its upcoming campaign in a different place. Athletes have switched positions, new guards are being broken into the team’s system and first-year players are finding their footing. “We’re a whole different team,” Duane Jr. said. “We’re gonna be a whole different identity.” Yet two familiar faces return, one in the frontcourt and one in the backcourt. Both Anderson and Williams are game changers when they take the court, and their bond will be a key factor in the next stage of Pumas basketball. “If you win and play hard,” Williams said, “all the good stuff will come with it.”

Gilbert pop punk artist has released his latest single. “What’s the Issue” is the title of the new hit by rising singer-songwriter Benjamin Sanchez, otherwise known by his stage name “imfalls.” The 18-year-old started making music in his sister’s garage roughly four years ago and now has a rapidly growing fanbase. He already has drawn about 500,000 Spotify streams, 250,000 SoundCloud streams and 50,000 YouTube views. “As a kid with a dream and a borrowed computer and a little $45 microphone that barely worked, I made do with what I had and slowly tried to build a name for myself,” Falls said.

It’s my moment and it’s time I stop giving her all the time in my head.” Falls said his newest single serves as the final closure for his breakup and believes that listeners who have ever been in love will be able to relate to his lyrics. With around 10 to 15 additional songs finalized and ready to be released, Falls promised, “A lot of pop punk is coming.” ‘What’s the Issue’ is available on all streaming platforms.

Strawberry Rhubarb cobbler a neighborly treat

here are two things I absolutely love – a great recipe and great neighbors. When the two come together, life is pretty awesome! It happened this week when my sweet neighbor, Deborah Alyea saw me pull up to the driveway, and scurried over with a beautiful baking dish of bountiful goodness right out of the oven. “I wanted you to have it while it’s still piping hot and bubbling.” Deborah has just baked the most amazing strawberry rhubarb cobbler and I was the lucky recipient. I’m not sure I should admit this, but I texted her a picture of her baking dish just several hours later. It was scraped clean except for maybe one more serving. Yes, it was that good. I’m not sure who came up with the combination of strawberries and rhubarb, but thank you, whoever you are! Rhubarb season is incredibly short and right now is

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced in half 4 cups (4-5 large stalks) fresh rhubarb cut into 1-inch pieces 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided 2 teaspoons grated orange zest 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup oatmeal (quick cooking, but not instant) 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, diced and chilled Whipped cream, Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream for topping

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. For the

the peak of it, so I’m so happy to pass along this delicious dish to you right now, while you can still find those long red stalks. The filling is wonderful with either a pie crust topping or cobbler, and I was ecstatic that Deborah chose the latter. I love that rich crumble topping with the sweet fruit below. And if you have a neighbor as wonderful as Deborah Alyea, maybe make an extra and make someone’s day.

fruit, toss the rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar and the orange zest together in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it into the fruit. Pour the mixture into an 8-by-11-inch baking dish and place it on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. (That’s to catch any spills from the dish.) For the topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt and oatmeal. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter and mix until the dry ingredients are moist and the mixture is in crumbles. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it completely, and bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
