For me, basically it’s another chance.” Alejandro and three of his peers gave feedback on the impact of RISE, an alternative junior high school, in a video viewed by Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board.

BY PAUL MARYNIAK xecutive ditor

n the week of the first anniversary of the alentine’s ay massacre at a Florida high school, Chandler city and school officials e . 11 unveiled a new coordinated approach to safety in Kyrene and Chandler nified schools that focuses on prevention as well as training teachers and other staff in basic life-saving techni ues in case the worst should happen. The School Emergency Response Team is the product of a year of planning and implementation y police, fire and representatives of the two school districts. Although Chandler police and fire officials said they are training designated safety teams from each Kyrene and Chandler nified school in their urisdiction, the two districts’ officials said those teams will extend that training to staff at schools in neighboring municipalities. Kyrene covers Ahwatukee, Tempe and uadalupe while Chandler nified has schools in Gilbert and Queen Creek. The genesis of the effort was the Feb. 1 , 1 , slaying of 1 students and two staff at a high school in Parkland, Florida, y a 1 -year-old former student, said Chandler olice Chief ean uggan. uggan and Chandler ire Chief Tom wiggins had their departments develop a oint training exercise to simulate a response to an active-shooter incident and realized school personnel should be involved. hile the T program includes the development of tactical measures, it also involves training students through drills in how to protect themselves during an attack and training teachers and staff how to administer life-saving techni ues on the wounded until first responders can arrive. “There’s always a gap between the time a call is made to 11 and the time emergency crews arrive, wiggins noted. To that end, staffers have been trained in top the leed techni ues eing promulgated y the . . omeland ecurity epartment as well as C and other techni ues so that lives can e saved before skilled paramedics arrive at the scene. In addition, Chandler police and fire have made “threat and vulnerability assessments” of school buildings to identify infrastructure weaknesses that could either help an attacker or hinder potential victims’ escape or ability to evade an assault.

Discussing the new School Emergency Response Training program at a press conference earlier this week were, from left, Kyrene schools IT director Damian Nichols, Chandler Unified Security Director Tanya Smith, Chandler Fire Assistant Chief Scott Chapman and Chandler Police Commander David Levoy.

Additionally, staffers are being trained to identify situations where people are exhi iting trou ling ehavior. In addition, all schools in both districts are monitored by numerous closed-circuit cameras that feed into a central monitoring room. Chandler olice avid evoy said the T program is the first of its kind in Arizona and may e the first in the nation. Asked about the level of communication between his department and those police agencies who have jurisdiction over Chandler nified and yrene schools in other communities, he said: “These types of concepts will be shared, but more particularly the East Valley Chiefs Association, the Arizona Chiefs Association, you get together these chiefs, especially if there’s a successful program that’s been well received, and they’re going to discuss those things. That’s when those ideas get shared at the executive level.” The SERT plan adds additional layers of prevention and response for Chandler nified, which as a whole has significantly more school resource officers armed police assigned to campus – than Kyrene. ive of Chandler’s six high schools have Os and of its nine unior highs, two have full-time Os and three others have part-time officers. Only yrene’s two middle schools in Chandler have Os. Chandler nified spokesman Terry ocke said his district wants 1 more Os, and yrene uperintendent an Vesely last month told her school board that she was uoyed y ov. oug ucey’s proposal in his 1 udget to fund more Os.

ucey wants to cover applications for three-year grants to cover the salaries of Os at school districts that applied but didn’t receive funding. Although schools had sought grants, only 11 got them efore the money ran out. yrene is very excited, a out ucey’s proposal, Vesely told her school board last month, because “it means that we will be able to restore our school resource officers oth in our Ahwatukee schools as well as in Tempe.” ut it’s unclear whether ucey’s plan will pass the legislature. One vocal opponent of adding Os to more campuses is new Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, whose spokesperson told New Times last month: “The superintendent supports an approach to school safety that focuses on increased funding for mental health services and more school counselors. She does not support the vision of having an O in every school. oth esely and Chandler nified uperintendent Camille Casteel said they were grateful for the leadership and cooperation from Chandler’s fire and police departments in developing the SET plan. Casteel noted that the district has hired former ew exico police officer Tanya Smith as director of school safety for the district. Kyrene has a program to break down kids’ resistance to reporting seemingly troubled classmates to a trusted teacher or administrator. That approach is part of the peak p, tand p, ave a ife movement.

Cactus League civic groups hit the real homers BY JIM WALSH taff riter

hen hundreds of thousands of fans jam East Valley Cactus eague stadiums starting aturday, they’ll watch famous players getting ready for a marathon season and young players desperately trying to make a team. But the real winners throughout the region have nothing to do with what happens on the field. They will either e in school, or sitting next to their parents in the stands, eating hot dogs or goofing around with their brothers and sisters. Thanks to civic hospitality organizations such as the Mesa HoHoKams, the Tempe ia los and the cottsdale Charros, the Cactus eague maintains its traditional roots even though it has turned into a big business that stokes the tourism industry and swells sales tax receipts. Between them, the volunteer HoHoKams and ia los raise at least 1. million for charities, covering everything from ittle eague teams to scholarships in the aricopa County Community College istrict and Arizona tate niversity. And the tradition set by spring baseball is so deep that one organization continues to raise nearly 1 million annually even without a baseball team. The Chandler Compadres have not had a Cactus eague allpark as a source of revenue for more than years. hile Compadre Stadium, with its distinctive lue roof and large outfield erm, has vanished and become a pleasant Cactus eague memory, the Compadres have flourished and stayed true to their community service mission. espite the long hours at loan ark and Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, and at ia lo tadium in Tempe, mem ers of the ohokams and ia los and the additional volunteers who help them consider their work a labor of love. Call them hospitality hosts’’ as oug lack from the ia los does or am assadors’’ for the Chicago Cu s and Oakland Athletics – as Tim Baughman of the Mesa HoHoKams does – the fundraising prowess of these organizations is undeniable. hat we fund them with is the ulk of their budget. If we don’t fund them, they pro a ly don’t exist, like ittle eague or a cheer leading s uad,’’ said aughman, president of the HoHoKams, which donated , to ast alley charities last year. “All of that money stays in the East Valley, with an emphasis on Mesa,’’ he said.

Although the HoHoKams continue to embrace youth sports as their primary mission, he said other nonprofits that enefit the community in numerous other ways are also funded with grants. Among the eneficiaries are the Community Bridges behavioral health agency; Helen’s Hope Chest, which helps foster children; and Arizona Brainfood, which sends lunches home for low-income children so that they are not hungry on weekends when free school lunches are not available. Other recipients include ast alley Boys and Girls clubs and YMCAs. There is no finer thing you can do as a

Tempe celebrates the central role of charity during the Cactus eague every year with Tempe ia lo ay, where all revenues from a particular game are donated to the ia los with the lessings of Arte Moreno, the Angels’ owner. The annual game is scheduled for 1 p.m. on e . , when the Angels play the rewers at ia lo. “He appreciates us, that’s the best way I can put it,’’ Black said about Moreno. e’s very kind to the ia los and he’s an honorary ia lo.’’ rank Coen, the ia los president, said it’s very easy to sum up the ia los fundraising efforts.

These raffles have significantly increased revenues in Mesa and Scottsdale as well.

The Scottsdale Charros keep the civic tradition alive at Scottsdale Stadium, raising another 1 million and thoughtfully doling out the proceeds to maximize the impact on the community. A Charro is assigned to each school and the organization caters donations to their needs, said ennis o ins, executive director. He said the organization’s mission includes financing eight scholarships for students at Arizona tate niversity to address the teacher’s shortage. Robbins said the Charros top priority is education. Beyond the scholarships, the Charros arrange for additional student teachers to assist full-time teachers in low-income schools, so that students get more attention through lower teacher to student ratios.

He said the focus is on keeping children motivated to learn. e assign a Charro to every school in Scottsdale and they develop a relationship with the principal,’’ Robbins said, allowing the Charros to help in the best way possible. The civic organizations form a veritable army of volunteers, with each group sporting its own uni ue uniform. The HoHoKams, which date back to the late wight atterson’s attraction of the Chicago Cu s to Arizona in 1 1, argua ly have the hardest job, but each organization faces a uni ue series of challenges. The HoHoKams handle the parking and ushering duties at two ballparks, Sloan and Hohokam Stadium, using separate crews that rarely work together, said Tim Baughman, the group’s president. It’s no small task, with 1 o o ams assisted y another 6 volunteers during spring training, he said. “It’s a big commitment. To remain an active member in our organization, you must work three- uarters of the games,’’ Baughman said, with shifts typically lasting four to six hours. The ia los and the Charros make a similar commitment. The ia los have mem ers and a out volunteers. ia los are re uired to work seven games a year, while a out 1 Charros work at Scottsdale Stadium every season. “It feels more like summer camp to me. You are having some laughs with your friends,’’ Black said. “As long as people are having safe fun, it’s fun for us.’’ hile there are always occasional issues when dealing with the public, “you have to laugh about it and move on with your day,’’ Black said. This year, the HoHoKams received a bit of a twist from a or eague ase all. The Oakland Athletics play only 1 home games at Hohokam Stadium, instead of the normal 1 , and the Cu s play a longer 1 game schedule that includes two sellouts against the orld Champion oston ed ox at the end of the season.

Grieving EV moms talk of their sons’ suicides BY JIM WALSH taff riter

ne by one, grieving East Valley mothers displayed photos of their sons who are part of the region’s suicide cluster, pleading with the state Senate’s Education Committee for help. The visibly moved committee members delivered, voting 7- to approve a landmark teen suicide prevention-training bill – a critical step to the legislation advancing, but several stages short of it becoming law. Sponsored by Sen. Sean Bowie, whose district includes Ahwatukee and parts of Chandler, Mesa and Tempe, the bipartisan 1 6 would re uire suicide prevention training every three years for all school personnel involved with grades 6-1 . “It’s so hard when something so bad happens,’’ said Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, - hoenix, who oined other mem ers in thanking three East Valley mothers for their testimony and offering condolences. orie arnock, of Tempe, an nglish teacher in Ahwatukee who lost her son, itch, to suicide in 16 while he attended Corona del Sol High School, said she was “cautiously hopeful’’ when Bowie decided to sponsor a softer version of the bill named in memory of her son. I can testify that as a teacher of years, I was not prepared to know what to look for,” she said. arnock said it was disappointing last year when owie’s first attempt was rejected. That would have mandated training every year but was opposed by the Arizona School Boards Association. But this year, the association has taken a neutral position in exchange for an amendment approved by the committee that the training be considered a classroom-related expense when school funding is determined by the state. “I was surprised and delighted that it came up again. Neither myself nor my hus and Tim, also a teacher expected that,’’ arnock said. I was ecstatic that the education committee was so moved by our testimony.’’ In her testimony, arnock recounted how the Tempe nion igh chool istrict trained more than employees, from school bus drivers to teachers and principals, on recognizing the early warning signs of suicide and how to prevent it, with the help of Teen ifeline. The district’s actions serve as a model for

owie’s ill. arnock said that she and her fellow teachers at Mountain Pointe High School have noticed that more students are willing to report that they are not doing well psychologically, or that they are concerned about a friend. She said the students appear more confident that teachers know how to handle their concerns appropriately, arnock said. hile mental health is complicated, the response takes a out seconds and can be handled in a simple email to a guidance counselor and a social worker. “The numbers continue to spike. It’s something we can’t ignore,’’ arnock said. “The schools are the hub of the community. e are all in this together. e are trying to build a safety net of wellness.’’ arnock was oined in her testimony by Sheila Hedstrom-Pegler of Gilbert, who lost her son Tyler while he attended Combs High School in San Tan Valley, and Angela Gamboa, whose son Jacob attended a Higley high school. Both brought pictures of their sons, underscoring the tragedy that haunts them to this day. Tyler died in uly 17 and was the third of 33 East Valley teenagers – mostly boys – who have taken their lives since that month. Hedstrom-Pelger said that her son was a talented musician who told her that if he did not make it as a performer, he wanted to become a music teacher. She said two female classmates found her son sobbing in a dark supply room nine months before his death and that on a third occasion, they reported it to a teacher. She said the teacher knew Tyler well and sympathized with him, but he was not trained to recognize the early signs of suicide. “He sympathized with Tyler’s despair, but he did not escalate this to a counselor and he did not notify me,’’ HedstromPelger said. e did miss the signs of depression, that we now know,’’ Hedstrom-Pegler, a nurse, said. “I don’t blame anyone for my son’s death, but I know it was an opportunity missed.’’ Our kids deserve this and our parents deserve this,’’ she said. “No parent should have an empty seat at their table and no

Sellers has spoken before on the number of issues that state and local planners will have to deal with to accommodate autonomous cars and, eventually, trucks.

The board in last week’s work study heard updates on three new programs that aim to retain and attract students in a district that faces competition from charter and other districts’ schools. School districts receive funding based on student enrollment. oard mem er heila ggetti said the three programs show “we are meeting the needs of all kinds of students and all the different needs of the students and their parents, and there is a lot to be said for that.” Before RISE, the district has been without an alternative program for four years after one at Canyon Valley was removed, according to arci Taylor, executive director of secondary education. I is expected to continue in the two portables housed at the Highland campus next academic year, and the district hopes to find it a spot the year after that as the program expands, Taylor said. Currently 22 students are enrolled in RISE. istrict surveys showed percent of administrators and counselors saw a need for an alternative program and reported a detrimental impact followed the four years without it, according to Justine Ingram, dean of students and program coordinator. Ingram said studies show students as early as sixth grade who are having pro lems such as difficulties with courses, attendance or behavior – are twice as likely to drop out of high school. RISE’s goal is to have students engage in an integrated curriculum and social and emotional learning to master subects and concepts re uired to e successful in high school or return to their home junior high and be successful. The program features small-class sizes and an integrated curriculum that helps students refocus on academics and gain self-confidence to succeed. “I see these kids on a daily basis because we share the same campus,” Highland unior igh rincipal isa Creaser said. I think none struggle uite as much as those kids in the program. I’ve noticed

some really positive changes that have happened so uickly. The changes were especially noticeable among the Highland students who transitioned to the RISE program, she said. “These are the kids last year or early fall would have never been the kids who seek me out in the courtyard or respond to me when I approach them because they really lacked self-confidence and lacked the feeling they belonged,” she said. Now, when she walks out to the portable classrooms and call out to the students there, they are more than happy to talk about their day with her, she said. “There’s open dialogue because of this change, Creaser said. They are finding their voice, they are finding who they are and they are finding a place they elong. Ingram said as the program moves forward it will need a full staff of teachers, including a behavior specialist teacher to help with restorative justice. It also needs office staff and an intervention specialist, especially as the program expands and students come in with deeper needs, she said. She added a grant has funded the hiring dler and hoenix, C and the Arizona Commerce Authority,” he said. e also touted his strong ties to A and the Maricopa County community college system and his “relationship with our tate egislature and clearly signaled he’ll be seeking a four-year term in , stating ased on the distri ution of voters in istrict 1, I am the most electable candidate seeking this position.”

of a full-time social worker, who is expected to begin work this week. “I have a parent wait list of kids I can’t accept yet because I don’t have room for them,” Ingram said. Superintendent Shane McCord said the program was a testament to the fact the district doesn’t want any of its students to fail. Another option for parents is the Performance Academy housed at es uite Elementary School, which began last year. The academy offers a modified school schedule for students in grades - involved in elite athletics or performing arts. chool day egins at 7 1 a.m. and ends at 1 1 p.m., allowing students to keep their training and competitive schedules. In many instances, the district buses the students directly to their gym or training center of choice. Parents have to drop off their kids in the morning. Home schooling was not an option for parents of these students, said es uite rincipal awn o erchof, who came up with the idea of the flexi le schedule. “In talking with principals around the district, it was not a big need but a need where we were losing some families, especially at es uite with out start time and end time,” she said. efore the academy, es uite students involved in high-level competitive activities wouldn’t get out of school until p.m. when most gyms re uired students to show up at 3 p.m., which was a challenge, she said, adding she didn’t like sending home letters to parents that their

kids needed to be in school until end time. The academy allows for the balance of academics and the extracurricular activity that in some instances is what gets students excited a out school, according to Koberchof. The academy provides blended learning – personalized learning for grades -6 and lo al Academy for grades 7and opportunities for acceleration. This year, students are enrolled and next school year, students are expected to attend the academy as word gets out about the program, Koberchof said. She said three-fourths of the 22 students are from Gilbert schools and the others come from other district schools. ithout the district’s academy, the families would have ended up at either a charter school or another district’s school, she said. Board member Jill Humpherys asked what would happen when the students go on to high school. Koberchof said the students’ scheduled would be customized to accommodate their extracurricular activity. The board also heard an update of traditional programs offered at Canyon Rim and Spectrum elementary schools. Neely Traditional Academy also is an option. The program allows parents with multiple children the choice to have both traditional and conventional classroom options at one school. Both principals reported an uptick in student enrollment due to the program. “Many families want both,” said Sharon Boomer, Spectrum principal. “People are really happy with that. In the past we’ve lost so many kids to charter schools. This gives people an option.” “You saw a whole spectrum of what we can offer for different segments of our population, which I think shows for Gilbert Public Schools and for all public education in Arizona that we are diversifying to the best of our ability and to the best of our funding.” If not for financial constraints, these programs could e taken to the next level, he added.

Overcoming the costs of hearing loss Connect Hearing, a national hearing care provider, is leading the charge to make quality hearing solutions more affordable for Americans suffering from hearing loss. 48 million Americans are significantly affected by hearing loss, and yet, just 14 percent of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them.1 Studies have shown that the cost of hearing aids is a huge reason that many have not adopted them. Unfortunately, this leaves tens of millions of Americans feeling isolated, frustrated, and earning lower incomes2 due to decreased effectiveness in the workplace. It also increases risks of depression, decline in memory and concentration, and early-onset dementia.3 More than 100 years ago, Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind, explained the isolation caused by hearing loss:

In good news, Connect Hearing, a leading national network of hearing care centers, has worked with a world leading hearing aid manufacturer to ensure that advanced hearing solutions are available to all, regardless of their financial means. This has led to the limited release of the NovaSense EliteTM hearing aid at the special price of $499. This includes custom programming to suit each wearer’s unique hearing needs. Connect Hearing is also offering a 45-day satisfaction guarantee and do not charge for hearing evaluations and fitting services. This program has been met with great enthusiasm by Connect Hearing’s dedicated team, including Doctor of Audiology, Pauline Dinnauer, who says, “It is great to work for an organization that is working for all Americans with hearing loss.” According to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine 2Sergei Kochkin PhD (2005), The Impact of Untreated Hearing Loss on Household Income 3Lin et al (2011), Hearing Loss and Incident Dementia, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

“Blindness separates people from things. Deafness separates people from people.”

said. “It takes a toll on you in a way the majorities don’t understand.” chools and universities should expand their admission practices so students aren’t the only ones. “They should feel like they have a place,” she said. “I still feel like I’m transitioning as one of the few.” The governor’s son, aniel ewis, explained he wants to help his peers on the reservation. He is a sophomore at Arizona

tate niversity who is studying political science and Native American studies. “I went to Catholic high school like Samaira (Juan, a fellow attendee),” he said. “That transition was a big leap for me. That transition was like a whole ‘nother world. It was just like me and two other Native Americans in my whole class. “The point is, all kids on the reservation deserve that type of elevated learning experience. After college, I want to push that with STEM and STEAM, they can get a well-rounded education. I think that will elevate them to excellence. O ama uietly listened to each of the students describe their passions and dreams. hen they were finished, she had encouraging messages for each. Perhaps the most touching talk was with Charisma uiroz, a istrict 1 representative studying political science at the niversity of Arizona. Quiroz listed her impressive resume before admitting she had a speech impediment, which was hardly recognizable. “I have to say, I can’t tell you have a speech impediment, said O ama. ou are articulate and poised. hatever you think isn’t working is working. I’m so proud of you.”

Each year’s proceeds helped implement a step of its new sustainable programming model, “Communities for All Ages.” The success of the gala may be partly due to its delightful setting: The courtyard features vintage agricultural implements that serve as a backdrop and poignant reminder of the town’s beginnings. Old-timers may recall that the first footsteps on those worn wooden floors and the first faces to look out of those adobe-surrounded windows were of young children, as this was originally an elementary school, built in 1913. Established as a museum in 1982, for many decades thereafter it exhibited the town’s history in its many converted schoolrooms. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the town’s only one to hold that distinction. “The history museum is not going any-

With these plans in the background, the programming, presented by artists, historians, storytellers, botanists and scientists, has taken on added importance. The Communities for All Ages programming model takes an inter-generational approach to match the demographics of Gilbert, which is 35 percent under 19 years of age and more than 25 percent over 50 years old. For youth, who receive less and less time with art in the classroom, it fills a gap in education. For seniors, it fosters creative aging, a term used to imply various forms of creative expression to positively impact the aging process and enhance the quality of life. “We’ve got these big bookends of people and our programs are designed for all of them to do things together,” Kolar said. “We are into making that kind of an impact in those areas.” HD South is located at 10 S.

New Gilbert service aims to cut dental bills BY CECILLA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

t’s not the drill that’s keeping people away from the dentist chair but fear of the unknown cost of a procedure, according to a Gilbert-based online service designed to help consumers save money. ental enie recently created the firstever online dental marketplace for people in Arizona to find deals when it comes to their teeth. “The average patient will see a savings of $200 to $3,000,” said CEO Chris L. Anderson of Gilbert. “The numbers can really get up there for bigger procedures.” The company compares itself to AirBnb for travel or Uber for transportation by putting the power in the hands of the consumer when it comes to finding afforda le dental care. People can plug in their zip code and view a list of dentists available in their area and the pricing offered per procedure such as extractions, fillings, implants, root canals, dentures and crowns. For example, an extraction of a lower molar ranges in price from $134 to $156 charged y the five il ert dentists on the site and from $106 to $192 among the 40 dentists in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Anderson explained the price discrepancy for the same procedure as dentists who want to fill their chairs will charge a lower price. Dentists can change prices for procedures over time, depending on their need for patients, he said. Dental Genie also shows the cost savings compared with dentists only available through traditional dental insurance. “One of the biggest issue and complaint is dental insurance is going away and they are limited in their coverage, covering less and less each year,” Anderson said, adding: “And so, there’s lot of cash-paying patients sitting on the sidelines wanting to go to a dentist. The American Dental Association’s own research shows for 59 percent of Americans the No. 1 reason they are staying away from dentists is the fear of the unknown price.” He said Dental Genie brings these

patients off the sideline because once many of them realize the pricing is in their range and not through the roof, they can plan for it and schedule those procedures with confidence and know the price before they go to the dentist. Dental Genie is for those who have dental insurance, which generally covers $1,500 a year maximum and hasn’t changed for decades, and those without insurance. That will be especially useful for older adults with Medicare, which doesn’t cover most dental procedures. “The pricing you see on the website often time is the discounted price insurance companies are already pushing dentists down to,” Anderson said. “Our sales team goes to a dentist and say, ‘why don’t you post that price on our platform, that cash price, the same price you are getting from the insurance company, but put it out there and let people know,’” he explained. Consumer can do the same thing as Dental Genie, but the company does all the leg work. “The platform provides you several ualified and pre-approved dentists in your area,” Anderson said. “If you take

the time to call seven, eight, nine different offices and ask for pricing and talk to the office manager, you can do it. ut we give you 10 to 15 dentists in your area in a matter of five minutes. Dental Genie is the brainchild of an Arizona dentist who led a group of people in launching the platform with $1 million in capital, according to Anderson. He declined to name the dentist who he said wishes to remain anonymous at this time because of possible backlash from some in the dental community. Anderson said the dentist used feedback from his patients over the years to come up with his idea. “He wanted to transform the way dentists and patients find one another and created this unique online dentist marketplace with not only ratings and reviews but gives transparency in pricing and put it all in one place. “He sees this as a huge advantage for dentists who embrace it as a marketing tool. It’s what made him successful over the years and his practice.” Dentists who join Dental Genie are seeing success, according to Anderson. Those who want to join Dental Genie must go through an approval process so

only the highest ualified professional is chosen, according to Anderson. They also must have their own practice and not belong to a corporation. “We don’t accept everyone,” he said. “It’s an exclusive community. We limit it to maybe 250 per major metropolitan area.” Dental Genie currently has up to 100 dentists from all specialties such as endodontics, orthodontics and periodontics on the platform, according to Anderson. Besides the patients, dentists who join also see enefits. “Dentists are paying $500 a month to subscribe to the platform and we are promising they will see three to five new patients a month, minimum,” Anderson said, adding: “We are not the end-all marketing solution. Our goal is to help dentists make their practice more successful and grow their client base.” He said practicing dentistry is increasingly competitive with more grads coming into the marketplace every year. “Lot of dental practices across the county are struggling, on the verge of bankruptcy,” he said. According to the ADA, there were 198,517 practicing dentists in the United States in 2017, which translated to 60.9 dentists per 100,000 people. And the projected growth rate of the number of dentists per capita between 2017 and 2037 is 4.5 percent, the ADA said. One of ADA’s analyses predicted dental spending in the United States was expected to grow at much lower rates than in previous decades, even after taking into account the aging of the population. Its results, the ADA said, suggested that at the aggregate level, the country could be entering a period of expanding supply of dentists and flattening demand for dental care. “We want to remove the fear of the unknown when coming in for a dental procedure and give consumers the ability to know before they go,” Anderson said.

$500M bond deal paves way for Intel expansion

BY JASON STONE GSN Staff Writer

ntel wants to keep the good times rolling in Chandler. The City Council is doing its part to help out. The city last week approved the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue bonds with the computer giant that will give the company access to half a billion dollars in bond money to help with its local expansion and other projects. “It just shows their commitment to the community that they’re willing to go after a half-a-billion-dollar bond in order to fulfill their pro ect, Councilmem er att Orlando said. In its 50 years as a company, Intel has spent nearly 40 of them in Arizona. It currently has two plants in Chandler – the Chandler Campus at 5000 W. Chandler Blvd. and the Ocotillo Campus at 4500 S. Dobson Road.

t? o G ws Ne

Jason Bagley, the director of state government relations for Intel, said the company has invested close to $30 billion in manufacturing capacity in Chandler since 1996. Additionally, he said Intel is responsible for a $5.5 billion economic impact to the region. “We’ve been very committed here,” Bagley said. The bond money will allow the company to expand its production at those sites, make environmental improvements, update its recycling program and expand its parking situation, among other fixes. The bond is through the Industrial evelopment Authority, a nonprofit corporation that’s separate from the city. Dawn Lang, the city’s management services director, said it’s designed to promote economic development and allows certain types of businesses to access tax exempt financing. “It gives potential projects that could increase the city’s tax base another

financing option to weigh as they look to build and expand in the city of Chandler,” Lang said. “Chandler is the conduit for the bonds. But there is no responsibility for repayment for the city.” Last year, the council approved Intel’s expansion plans, which will soon bring 3,000 more jobs to the employment behemoth. Intel’s Chandler plants are currently producing about 10 billion transistors per second and shipping products companywide about every 25 seconds. “It’s just phenomenal what takes place there,” Bagley said. “Our factories are producing as fast as we can possibly go.” The bond money council approved will help Intel make some environmentally friendly modifications. agley said the company’s goal is to return back to the community 100 percent of the water that it uses by 2025. It’s currently at 80 percent and working on ways to bridge the gap for the last 20 percent.

“In Arizona, we have seven projects currently underway in the watershed,” Bagley said. “Those projects will deliver just under 500 million gallons of water savings for the year. The company right now is halfway to our goal of returning 100 percent of water to the community.” Bagley said the bond money will also allow Intel the chance to “utilize capital in a very competitive and more efficient way.” Parking will also be eased with the bond money. “If you go out to the Ocotillo site, you’ll have hard time finding parking, agley said. “It’s full with 11,000 employees between the two sites and thousands more who come onto site each day.” When the new employees come with the upcoming expansion, matters will only get worse. “This bond is helping address a significant chunk of that, agley said.

Letters We can work to stop wrong-way driving Imagine, you are heading down the highway and suddenly, a vehicle is headed straight towards you, driving the wrong direction in your lane. It’s the most terrifying sight you could imagine. Wrong-way driving is not an event that occurs very often, but because of the severity and fatality rate, it is a concern to the transportation leaders in our country. According to the US Department of Transportation, about 350 people die in the US every year, representing approximately 1.5 percent of the total num er of traffic-related fatalities that occur annually. This seems to be a small percentage overall, but WWD is notorious for its severity rather than frequency. There is a fatality in about 22 percent of all wrong-way crashes, compared to about 0.5 percent of all vehicle crashes, according to federal crash data. According to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board, factors such as intoxication, driver age, roadway surface conditions and lighting conditions are among the most significant contri utors to wrong-way crashes. A journal of the Transportation Research Board revealed that approximately 60 percent of wrong-way drivers drive under the influence, nearly percent are impaired y alcohol, about 5 percent are impaired by drugs, and more than 3 percent drink while driving. Of the collisions where alcohol is not involved, a disproportionate amount of accidents are caused by drivers over the age of 70 years old. The NTSB report shows that most wrongway movements involve a vehicle entering an exit ramp. About 78 percent of all wrongway crashes occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Wrong-way crashes disproportionately occur on the weekend. Interestingly, about seven out of nine wrong-way collisions occur in the lane closest to the median. Arizona looks better in statistics compared to Texas, California, Florida and six other states. Thanks to Arizona transportation leaders, Arizona is on the forefront of adopting innovative ideas to prevent wrong-way drivers. ADOT has taken extensive steps to address the threat of wrong-way drivers. It implemented a smart technology first-of-

its-kind thermal camera detection system to decrease crashes. The system includes 90 cameras above exit ramps on Interstate 17 which will detect drivers who enter the ramps going the wrong way. When it detects a wrong-way driver, the system will light up a large, eyelevel rong ay sign with flashing right red LED lights. It will also track the driver and alert law enforcement and highway officials, who can broadcast warnings on highway message boards and turn freeway entrance-ramp signals to red. Wrong-way drivers present an obvious danger to all motorists on our highways. While cities and states should work to improve signs and barriers and utilize ITS-based solutions to reduce or eliminate wrong-way accidents, public awareness along with social responsibility could be an effective way. If you drink, be an example not to drive impaired. If you’re a young driver, don’t drive when the other passengers are a distraction. If you’re an elderly driver, get evaluated once a year to see if your senses and skill level allow you to safely drive. Let’s make drinking and driving an unpopular thing to do – much like smoking in a day care. Let’s educate the public about the consequences of drunk driving. If we continue to pursue every route possible to prevent drunk driving, we can stop the majority of wrong-way accidents. -Iqbal Hossain

Bills constitute voter suppression attempt Legislative District 12 (Gilbert/Queen Creek) had 17,318 voters who voted by dropping off their ballots at polling locations throughout the district during the 2018 general election. It’s estimated that 9,000 of those voters were Republicans. Republicans have pushed for voter change under SB 1046 that would require voters who request ballots by mail to return their ballots by mail only. Republicans introduced SB 1046 to prohi it election officials from counting mailin ballots that are returned in-person. SB 1046 severely restricts voter rights. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farn-

sworth, R-LD12, voted in favor of SB 1046, which is tantamount to voter suppression. In light of the large number of Republican voters dropping off their ballots at polling locations in District 12, Senator Farnsworth voting in favor of this bill seems counter intuitive. The newly added language to the bill specifically reads An elector who is on the permanent early voting list and who has received an early ballot may return the electors early ballot only by mail and may not deliver the voted early ballot to an on-site or other early voting location or to a polling place on election.” For what it’s worth, there was a great deal of voter education taking place in District 12. Democrats increased voter turnout by 29.6 percent. District 12 saw a turnout increase of 24.7 percent of parties combined. This was the largest district turnout in all of Maricopa county. Further, primaries for the Senate Republican seat (Jimmy Lindblom-R and incumbent), Democratic and Republican House of Representative race (Democrats-Lynsey Robinson, Joe Bassacia and DJ Rothans), Republicans (Blake Sacha, and incumbents); along with congressional Democratic candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives (Joan Greene and Jose Torres), gave the district a surge of voter excitement. Although, the numbers are largely in favor of Republican voters, the data suggest that Republicans and/or Independents in District 12 are voting blue. Roughly 19,000 voters who are either Republican or Independent voted blue. Roughly 25,000 of the estimated 33,000 Democrats voted this past cycle. The remaining 19,000 votes for the State Senate race came by way of Republican and/or independent voters. The 2018 State House of Representatives candidate, Lynsey Robinson-D and U.S. House of Representatives, Joan Greene-D received the largest number of votes in comparison to their Democratic counterparts in past elections respectively. As the Democratic party continues to produce quality candidates who understand, identify and are genuinely concerned about the issues that are at the heart of their communities, particularly as voter education is on the rise, Democrats expect more Republicans and Independents to vote blue. Voter suppression will not stop the inevitable!

Executive Director Charlie Fisher of the Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee put it this way, “Instead of asking hard questions about the issues and values Arizonans share, they (Republicans] continue to work to pass laws that restrict voting and make it more difficult to cast a allot. While Republicans are making it harder to vote, emocrats are fighting to increase accessi ility y introducing five legislative bills that put voters in control. From automatic voter registration to same-day voter registration. Democrats in Arizona are determined to protect our constitutional right to vote. Voting rights are a cornerstone of democracy. Voting is a fundamental value among all citizens and to allow legislation that would reduce that value creates a serious problem. e must fight all attempts to restrict voting and the suppression of turnout. -Lynsey Robinson, Esq.

‘Green New Deal’ could create many jobs I’m a 24-year-old PhD candidate studying atmospheric chemistry. The overwhelming majority of the global scientific community has stated that humans are the main reason our climate is changing, and the risks are terrifying. This is fact, not opinion. The latest climate report from the UN says we have only 12 years to transform our economy to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millennia. We need a massive mobilization of every sector of society on par with what science and justice demand. A Green New Deal will create millions of green jobs and protect our environment from further damage. It is common sense policy that is overwhelmingly popular with American people, regardless of political party or where they live (according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication). Fossil fuels won’t last forever, and waiting to act will only hurt us in the long run. -Kelly Graham Send your letters to Paul Maryniak at pmaryniak@timespublications.com

New Gilbert university luring EV athletes to shift into Park BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor

or the longest time, Arizona was a vast wasteland of higher education. There were the three state universities and Grand Canyon College. The landscape has changed drastically the past decade, and nestled in the historic downtown Gilbert Heritage District lies the latest example of higher education growth in the Valley, Park University, which is in its second semester of operation. The new Gilbert campus, the 42nd across the country for the university, opened in October. It’s 144-year-old main campus is in Kansas City, Mo. Park-Gilbert will have sports. Already, its recruiters are out touting an opportunity for East Valley athletes to stay home and receive an education while continuing their athletic careers. ark will field 12 intercollegiate sports teams as an independent starting this fall. “We have to be successful recruiting in our own backyard or we won’t make it,” new athletic director Steve Wilson said. “It’s nice to have people from all over the

his mark on the athletic program, building each sport from scratch. That began with hiring coaches. “All but one of our coaches has headcoaching experience, with the only ex-

ception having been a long-time assistant,” Wilson said. “Everybody played the game they’re coaching at a high level at some point.” As he was in Kansas City, Wilson is the head coach of men’s and women’s golf. Though he anticipates hiring a coach at some point, he will remain involved to maintain consistency for the athletes he recruited. ordon tu lefield, a longtime men’s basketball assistant at Park’s main campus, now heads the program in Gilbert. Former Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Kelly Stinnett is the baseball coach. Former Mesa Community College athletic director Jeff Fore is coaching women’s basketball and men’s cross country. Former New Mexico Highlands coach Karin Gadberry is coaching women’s cross country and softball. Prominent East Valley prep soccer coach Ben Sanchez now heads Park’s soccer program. Clay Webb, who led Desert Vista High’s volleyball program to a 6A championship last year, is the new volleyball coach.

cess they had last season and appear in the Open Division include not only Chandler and Perry but also Highland and Williams Field from the East Valley, as well as 5A champion Centennial and 4A champ Saguaro. “What a team will want to do is try to play other teams that are very competitive,” Paddock said. “Playing a team better than you will help you in the ratings. There are some examples that a loss to a much higher-ranked team actually doesn’t hurt your rating. It can help your rating. More-competitive schedules will boost your rating.” Early feedback has been positive from some of the state’s top football programs in the region. “I am excited about it,” said Highland football coach Brock Farrel, whose teams went 11-2 last season. “Who would not like to compete on the field to see who is the best? “Overall, it is probably good for Arizona football because you have more teams and therefore more players in the playoffs. Only time will tell if it brings a little more parity to the state.”

Feedback that the AIA received was mostly excitement, Paddock said, but he also heard from coaches who were concerned whether their schedule is strong enough to get them into the Open Division. It might take two years for some schools to beef up future schedules. Paddock also noted that winning a 6A or 5A region championship does not guarantee a berth in the Open Division playoffs. “That’s really important for everyone to understand,” he said. “It’s whatever your rating is at the end of the 10 games.” The high school football season kicks off in August.

f California’s experience is any indication, Chandler-area high school football players, coaches and fans quickly will warm to the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s recent decision to add an Open Division playoff. Chandler and Perry, which met in the past two 6A state-title games, are expected to be among those in contention for the inaugural eight-team playoff field this fall, created Jan. 22 by unanimous vote by the AIA Executive Board. The Open Division will pull the top teams from the state’s biggest conferences – 6A, 5A and 4A. Teams not among the eight selected will compete in their 16-team conference championships just as before. The California Interscholastic Federation made a similar move in . “It has become much more accepta le and prestigious than when it first started. It means you’re one of the best teams,” said Eric Sondheimer, high school sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

California’s Open Division was created “so that schools would be seeded into the state championship brackets based on competitive equity,” instead of enrollment-based seeding, said Rebecca Brutlag, the CIF’s director of media relations. The AIA’s decision was motivated by a desire to name one true state champion, ut also to find the est path to award that title. The eight teams selected will be determined based on a computer formula that takes into account strength of schedule and margin of victory – capped at 14 points so teams do not run up the score against a weak foe in an attempt to improve their ranking. “We are expecting three great rounds of football because it should, at the very least, be most of the best teams in Arizona,” said AIA assistant executive director Jake Paddock. “The Open Division next year will create more-competitive conference championships.” The Open Division playoff will be in a traditional bracket formula with the highest seeds playing the lowest seeds until a champion is crowned. Teams that hope to replicate the suc-

“We have high-level people that are going to lead these teams,” Wilson said. “All but one coach lives in the East Valley. They know this area well and they have connections.” The basketball and volleyball teams will use nearby San Tan Charter School as their home. The baseball, softball and soccer teams will play on Gilbert town facilities. The university is in talks with area courses for the golf program, but does not yet have a signed contract. For now, football is not in the plans at Park, but Wilson did not discount it as a possibility down the line as the university and its athletic department grow. As an independent, Park is free to schedule any school it desires. That gives Wilson and his coaches time to give their athletes, which will be mostly freshmen, experience before becoming a member of the NAIA in 2020. “It’s hard to build a schedule as an independent, but I think we will put together something competitive,” Wilson said. e may take our lumps at first since we will rely on freshmen.

For him, it’s about creating a competitive atmosphere right away and for the student-athletes to grow together in competition and in the classroom. Wilson and the Park coaches had a goal of 250 student-athletes by this fall. After six months, they are halfway there. Like other small universities, Park doesn’t offer full-ride athletic scholarships, instead relying on an average dollar amount to each athlete. Despite this, he believes that Park’s success signing athletes can be traced to its location. “I think our location is great for a lot of local families,” Wilson said. “The kids can stay under their parents’ roof and get the college education taken care of. It’s also an opportunity to play a sport at a high level.” Wilson acknowledges that most recruits tell him they have never heard of Park University. He anticipated as much. It’s a constant obstacle to overcome initially, but the dedication of his staff has Park growing rapidly. “I think we have become an attractive option,” Wilson said. “It’s a nice building

Buffalo chicken dip will have you scraping the pan

ren’t we always looking for a great party dish? Here’s a warning on this one: If you make this recipe, you’d better double it, or some poor soul might be scraping the bottom of the pan hoping to forage the last few bites. This Buffalo Chicken Dip is that tasty! I know that for a fact because when I was testing the recipe this week, one minute there was a casserole full of hot dip. The next thing I knew, the folks in my kitchen were circling the dish and then they quickly swooped in to devour! I know that you can find a recipe for Buffalo

Chicken Dip that has fewer ingredients, but the combination of flavors in the recipe really make it worth going back again and again. The bacon and blue cheese are fantastic. I took many folks’ advice and used Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and that really gave it the buffalo wing flavor. Finally, or over-the-top taste, I boned, chopped and threw in several pieces of fried chicken with the shredded grilled chicken breast. So now, go for a dip and enjoy every single scrumptious bite. Watch my how-to video: jandatri.com/recipe/ buffalo-chicken-enchilada-dip

Ingredients: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sour cream ¼ cup mayonnaise 6 tablespoons ranch salad dressing 6 tablespoons Frank’s Red Hot Original Hot Sauce (or more for extra hot) 1 ½ pounds cooked chicken (grilled, rotisserie or fried) shredded or rough chop 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped fine, divided 1 (8 oz.) package sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 4 oz. blue cheese crumbles 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles 1 (4 oz.) can chopped, diced or pickled jalapenos 4 oz. black olives sliced, optional 4 scallions, chopped and divided 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning (optional, but delicious) 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 Roma tomatoes, diced 2 tablespoons fresh parsley Flour tortillas, optional (enough to cover bottom of pan) Carrot and celery sticks Tortilla chips

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch salad dressing and Frank’s hot sauce until well combined. Add chicken, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, chiles, jalapenos, olives and half of the scallions. Mix to combine. Add Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix well. Line a 9X12-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet with flour tortillas. Spoon the mixture into the dish or skillet. Sprinkle remainder of bacon over top. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Garnish with remainder of scallions, diced tomato and fresh parsley. Serve hot or warm with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks. Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning can generally be found in the spice aisle or seafood section of grocery stores.
