Town inks deal for big S. Gilbert water park BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

$35-million water park featuring a surf lake, inflatable water obstacle course and a sand beach is coming to south Gilbert. Town Council last week inked a deal with The Strand Gilbert to bring the state-ofthe-art project to its regional park under construction at ueen Creek and Higley roads. “We’ve been talking about this so long,” Councilwoman Brigette Peterson said. “I’m excited to finally see this come to fruition and

look forward to seeing it in Gilbert.” The council has been meeting in closed session for months with staff to discuss the proposal, deal points and final lease agreement with The Strand, which responded to the town’s Request for Proposal in 2017. There is no cost to the taxpayers for the 25-acre water park, where people can kayak, canoe and do paddle boarding, according to Rocky Brown, Parks Recreation Business manager. Additional amenities include a cable wake park, swimming pool, an extreme slide, restaurant, indoor arcade, kid play area and out-

Under the 50-year lease agreement, The Strand will pay an annual rent of $253,191 to Gilbert for use of the land. The town also will received a 3-percent cut of the water park’s revenue over $2 million, which is estimated between $450,000 and $750,000 annually, Brown said. These funds will help offset the mainte-

Gilbert Leadership to create big mural for museum BY SRIANTHI PERERA GSN Contributor

D South, home of the Gilbert Historical Museum, is the recipient of a service project that will soon enhance its outdoor space with a huge mural. As its annual project, the Gilbert Leadership Class of VII will improve the grounds of the arts and culture center with a wall that features an art mural symbolizing the history of the town, a pergola, paved seating for educational presentations and various safety adjustments to landscaping. Class members are raising $20,000 for the project through donations and fundraisers. The work is scheduled to begin at the end of March and will be completed in April. One fundraiser is a painting class for all ages and skills on “How to Paint the Gilbert Water Tower,” taught by class participant and artist Dani ahn, on Saturday, March 9, at HD South. “HD South is a great community partner,” said athy Tilque, president CEO of the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, which administers Gilbert Leadership, a program that develops future leaders in the town. ayla olar, president and CEO of HD South, said that the grounds lack an attractive area for community events such as the upcoming Memorial Day commemoration, shade for outdoor programming and gathering space for school field trips and large tours for orientation before entering the building. “We are thrilled that Gilbert Leadership

has chosen us as the beneficiary of their class project this year,” olar said. ahn will head the group that will paint the 55-feet long and 4.5 feet high mural wall, oriented east and west facing on the corner of Gilbert Road. “The mural will be bright and colorful with a pop art-like design but with historical references,” said ahn, who runs Studio Fortis, a Gilbert multi-media design company. Bold colors and thick outlines will encompass symbolism of the town’s growth featuring, among others, the face of Bobby Gilbert, from whom the town derives its name, horses, hay, cotton, the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, the Liberty Market and the iconic water tower. Founded in 1991, Gilbert Leadership brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to develop their leadership potential and to expose participants to the issues impacting the town. During the nine-month program, each class also evaluates the town’s needs and selects a project that will benefit a community partner. Class applications are accepted March through June of each year. Tilque is one of the founding members of the program and a graduate of Class 1. “The thing I’m most proud of is that it’s a very rolling type of curriculum so that we’re really keeping up with what’s happening in Gilbert,” she said. “The agenda and framework changes based on what are the priorities, what are the issues within our community. I believe that structure allows for us to help develop great leaders in the future,” she added.

HD South has been the recipient of several projects done by Gilbert Leadership over the last 27 years. Seven years ago, Class 20 replaced the rose bushes with trees and shrubs in the front of the museum building and made plaques for a history walk in the Heritage District. “This project will not be replacing anything that is already there, but rather making a not-so-attractive space into something that is very usable and visitorfriendly,” olar said. Located on the south end of the Heritage Center, on the southwest corner of Elliot and Gilbert roads, the center has been Gilbert’s history keeper for many decades. In 1913 it was built as the Gilbert Elementary School and became the town museum, operated by the Gilbert Historical Society, in 1982. Today it’s the oldest building still standing in Gilbert and the only one in the town on the National Register of Historic Places. During the past several decades, the private nonprofit made great strides to become one of Arizona’s premier community history museums. However, for sustainability, and because of the lack of an arts and culture center in the town, its mission was expanded to include more than just history. While the society will preserve and showcase the history of Gilbert, it’s being transformed into an arts and culture center. Details: gilbertaz.com gilbert-leadership and hdsouth.org

Gilbert lawmakers: ‘We’re pulling a lot of weight’ BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

ilbert’s state representatives are pushing for reducing drug sentences, increasing youth employment and recognizing occupational licenses granted in other states. State Sen. Eddie Farnsworth and state Reps. Warren Petersen and Travis Grantham gave an update of what was going on in the Capitol since the start of the legislative session on Jan. 14 – and included a discussion of the bills they are sponsoring.3 Gilbert Chamber of Commerce recently hosted

its Good Government Series, featuring the three Republicans who represent Legislative District 12, which also includes ueen Creek and San Tan Valley. “The three of us right now are pulling a lot of weight,” Farnsworth said. The trio praised each other, with Farnsworth saying Petersen hit the ground running and was like an “overachieving Energizer Bunny” who’s setting the tone at the Capitol this year. Aside from the governor’s proposed $1.4 billion budget for fiscal year 2020 making its way through the approval process, things were relatively quiet at the Senate’s side, with a rehash of bills seen before, he said. Farnsworth, who transitioned to the Senate from the House due to term limits, is president pro tempore and chairs the Judicial Committee. Petersen, House majority leader, said the state’s budget picture looked “amazing” compared to where the state was 10 to 12 years ago, when Arizona had the worst budget deficit per capita and was billions in the hole. Now, the state has a $1 billion surplus, which Petersen credited first to the business community and second to state government

GILBERT SUN NEWS AN EDITION OF THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | FEBRUARY 24, 2019

for not tying their hands with regulations. “Government can ruin an economy and government can hurt businesses,” he said. “If we get out of your way, you will be successful.” Petersen, who served on five committees, said the state’s pro-business stance that started under former Gov. Jan Brewer accelerated under Gov. Doug Ducey. He added he ran for the leadership position to bring the decorum and order he experienced when he served in the Senate. He said the behavior in the House in the past two years was perhaps unprecedented with legislators droning on about issues, using stall tactics and showing up very late. “One of the first things I did was revised the rules,” he said. “I’ve noticed a big change. I feel it’s a much more respectful body and we’ll be able to do things quickly without much drama.” Grantham, serving his second term, agreed the environment was much improved, enabling legislators to get on with the work in hand. He also addressed the state’s finances, saying if government didn’t cut its spending now and the economy were to take a downturn, the $1 billion in savings would be gone and Arizona would again end up

with a budget gap. He said many legislators didn’t understand that because they were not business people or lacked experience. He said the state took in more money because of changes to the federal tax code by President Donald Trump. “Do we keep it and spend it or give it back ” he said, adding he and his two legislative colleagues favored giving it back to taxpayers. The hard part was how to do that, given the governor vetoed a bill that would have conformed Arizona’s tax code with the federal code and offset the resulting tax increase by reducing the state income tax rates 0.11 of a percentage point across the board, he said. “It was pretty disappointing,” Grantham said. “But I’m not giving up on that one.” He said if the money stays in the government’s hands, it gets spent. Petersen disclosed he was to meet with Ducey this week on a Plan B on this issue. Highlight of bills by the three include: Senate Bill 1310 sponsored by Farnsworth: would double the number of earned release credits for some prisoners convicted on non-violent drug offense charges. House Bill 2320, co-sponsors include Petersen and Grantham: would repeal the $32 vehicle registration fee and reduce it

to $18. House Bill 2569, or the occupational licensing reciprocity measure, sponsored by Petersen: basically would allow a person with an out-of-state occupational license in good standing to practice in Arizona without having to take an exam. But a person can still be required to take a test on relevant Arizona laws. House Bill 2523 sponsored by Grantham to bolster youth employment: would allow businesses the option to pay full-time students under 22 working less than 20 hours a week the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour instead of the state’s minimum wage of $11 an hour. Petersen noted LD 12 had the highest percentage of voters in the state opposed to Proposition 206 that was passed in 2016. The ballot measure raises the state’s minimum wage each year until it reaches $12 in 2020. “It’s a big issue for a lot of our constituents,” Petersen said. With the lower pay, more companies could hire students, who would benefit by learning a skill and have a better chance in getting hired later on, Grantham said. The three also voiced support for bills sponsored by Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale.

Transport service changing for Gilbert seniors, disabled BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor

ilbert senior citizens who want to continue using Valley Metro’s lowcost taxi service will have until June to prove they have a disability that prevents them from using a bus. Previously, seniors 65 and older and people with a disability could participate in the RideChoice program. For Gilbert, RideChoice can meet the needs of disabled people that Paratransit now provides, but at a lower cost, according to town officials. “The current figures we have received from Valley Metro show that the current average trip cost to the Town is approximately $49 for Paratransit service and $18 for RideChoice,” Gilbert transportation planner Nichole McCarty said. “The RideChoice service is not a federally mandated program, but it is an additional service that Valley Metro partner cities can elect to participate in,” she added. McCarty said Gilbert officials recognize the town’s population is growing and aging and that the council is scheduled

to discuss how to make all of the town’s transit program services sustainable at a Feb. 28 retreat. Gilbert joined Mesa as the only two Valley municipalities to boot able-body seniors from RideChoice; Chandler, Fountain Hills, Surprise and Tempe opted to let them remain. RideChoice is available 24 7 and costs riders $3 for each trip up to eight miles, with any additional miles costing $2 per mile. Providers include Lyft, several local taxicab companies and other companies that provide wheelchair-accessible service. The decision on who can ride is left to the seven participating Valley communities, which establish the level of subsidy they will provide for their residents. Mesa’s decision came about after the city saw that RideChoice could meet the demands of a growing number of people with disabilities. It cost Mesa an estimated $46 per paratransit trip compared with $14.89 per RideChoice trip, according to a Mesa city staff report. So, Mesa opted to scale back paratransit from citywide to what is required by federal law, providing service within three-

fourths of a mile of bus routes and lightrail stations. Mesa City Council last week opted to move forward on changes to Paratransit. “There are 400 active RideChoice users in Mesa and 181 active RideChoice users in Gilbert who are not yet ADA certified,” said Susan Tierney, Valley Metro spokeswoman. “They would need to get ADA certified in order to use the service after June 30.” Maricopa County recently implemented the RideChoice program, and ADA certification has been a requirement from the outset for unincorporated communities such as Sun City and Sun City West, according to Tierney. All RideChoice program users were first notified in July 2018 of the need to be certified with a disability recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act. “RideChoice is not legally required for any community,” Tierney said. “Riders that are seniors, but are not ADA-certified in Mesa, Gilbert and unincorporated Maricopa County can use our transit system – circulators, local bus and light rail.” There is no light rail in Gilbert.

HOW TO GET CERTIFIED ADA Paratransit eligibility is determined with an application and an in-person eligibility assessment at the Valley Metro Mobility Center, 4600 E. Washington St., Phoenix. To request an application, contact the Valley Metro Mobility Center at 602-716-2100 or download a copy of the application at valleymetro.org/ ada-paratransit-eligibility. Once the application is completed, contact the Mobility Center to schedule an in-person assessment. ADA Paratransit eligibility assessments are scheduled on nonholiday weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Mesa resident RG Shepard is one of those able-body seniors that’s being kicked off the RideChoice program. “It’s good for seniors to get around and

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles would be allowed to repossess a fleet of nearl;y 80 high-performance cars if the Bob Bondurant School of High-Performance Driving doesn't pay its back rent to a development arm of the Gila River Indian Community for the Bob Bondurant that owns the school's track and other facilities. (Bondurant)

Tribal company eyes racing school takeover BY PAUL MARYNIAK GSN Executive Editor

n internationally known East Valley racing school may be heading for a final ride. Unless they come up with $245,402 by Friday, Valley motorsport legend Bob Bondurant and his wife will lose the cashstrapped Chandler racing school bearing his name to an economic development arm of the Gila River Indian Community – and lose nearly 80 cars with a total value of more than $9 million. The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving owes Sun Valley Marina Development Corp. four months in back rent – part of a massive $3.3 million in debt that has driven the operation into federal bankruptcy court since last summer, court records show. Earlier this month, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brenda . Martin said that if the Bondurants don’t make that payment by next Friday, their “lease shall be deemed rejected, and the debtor shall surrender the premises.” In addition, she ruled that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles can repossess a fleet of Vipers, Challengers, Durangos and Chargers with racing, executive, law enforcement support and other packages. “Sun Valley and the debtor will cooperate with FCA in facilitating the immediate return of the FCA vehicles pursuant to an orderly process to be developed by and between Sun Valley and FCA and shall work together in returning or disposing of the other FCA items,” Martin wrote in

her Feb. 15 order. The only potential lifeline for the school, which Bondurant moved to the Valley from California in 1990, is a special “debtor in possession” loan of $674,000, court records show. Some creditors are opposing Bondurant’s request for court permission to obtain the loan because that unidentified lender would have a higher priority than other creditors if the school is forced to close and sell any remaining assets to satisfy what debts it can. Timothy Shaffer, the Scottsdale bankruptcy expert who is the school’s courtappointed chief restructuring officer, told the court in a Feb. 8 petition that the Bondurants have “been engaged in discussions and negotiations with numerous parties and groups” about that special loan, although he declined to give specifics because of confidentiality agreements. But while the petition states “the interest by many of these parties in ensuring the debtor’s continued operation has been significant,” it goes on to admit “however, despite our diligent efforts, the debtor has been unable to obtain DIP financing” under terms that some of the creditors said they would accept. Sun Valley objected to the loan on grounds that the Bondurants would pay $212,000 or the $242,000 in back rent if they get the loan.

ADOT seeks public input on massive I-10 improvement plan BY PAUL MARYNIAK GSN Executive Editor

ig changes – and construction projects – are in store for East Valley motorists who use the I-10 anywhere between the San Tan Loop 202 and downtown Phoenix, and the Arizona Department of Transportation plans to talk about them and get public input this week. ADOT for several years has been working on plans to upgrade I-10 as well as the Price Freeway and portions of the SanTan Loop 202, and on Tuesday, Feb. 26, it plans to share its plans for I-10 with a briefing session and a chance for face-toface meetings with some of the planners involved. The briefing is 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Rio Salado College Conference Center, 2323 W. 14th St., Tempe. A presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m. but before and after that, engineers and other ADOT personnel will have maps and talking points to share on a more one-on-one level. Though ADOT said it still needs to do an environmental study, it still hopes to begin construction in 2021 on improvements for Interstate 10 between the Interstate 17 “Split” interchange and the Loop 202 Santan Freeway. The I-10 Broadway Curve Study includes widening and upgrading 11 miles of I-10 between 24th Street and Ray Road, including the Broadway Curve – which handles more than 40 percent of

nance costs associated with the Town’s amenities at the 272-acre regional park, according to staff. The project will create 180 jobs and have a $317-million economic impact, Brown said. The Strand will be responsible for the development, maintenance and operating costs of the water park. The company also will be responsible for constructing 400 parking spaces for shared use at the regional park. Under a separate approved agreement, The Strand will be responsible financially for securing renewable water supplies that meet 100 percent of the recreational water demand for the property for the entire term of the lease. Gilbert will have no obligation to supply water for recreational use during the term of the lease, except to recover and transport the recovered water from The Strand’s recovery well to the meter. The Strand will pay $1.9 million to Gilbert, as its a share of the cost of the construction

freeway traffic in the region, resulting in heavy congestion. ADOT envisions an additional HOV lane in each direction between the Salt River bridges and just west of US 60; a new collector-distributor roadway system that would funnel traffic to local and express lanes to improve traffic flow; reconstruction of the I-10 State Route 143 interchange to improve access to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport; and improving US 60 near the junction with I-10. Both ADOT and Federal Highway Administration representatives will be at the briefing on the project, which will be funded through the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan approved by county voters in 2004. The reconfiguration of the I-10 SR 143 interchange and the I-10 US 60 ramps at the Broadway Curve would separate the ramp traffic from the I-10 mainline traffic, “thereby eliminating the current weaving maneuvers that contribute to severe congestion on the Broadway Curve corridor during peak travel periods,” according to ADOT The Broadway Curve study is part of a more comprehensive examination ADOT, MAG and the FHA have been conducting for several years along a 31-mile corridor of I-10 and I-17 that’s been nicknamed “The Spine” because “it serves as the backbone for the regional freeway system in the metropolitan Phoenix area.”

and installation of the recovery wells. Vice Mayor Eddie Cook was the sole dissenter in approving the project. “For me, with the drought issues in Arizona it’s really hard for me to look at this as a good use of drinking water,” he said. “I’ll be a user with my wake boards and my family. I just have a hard time personally for me and with protecting our drinking water supply that unfortunately I have to say no.” Mayor Jenn Daniels said The Strand was bringing its own water credits to the project and that it will use less water than a golf course and or a hotel. She said other Valley municipalities have built spring-training or other types of facilities at taxpayers’ expense of $60 million to $80 million to put themselves on the map. Gilbert has the same opportunity through this public-private partnership, Daniels said. “I’m just thrilled about this opportunity for the town on multiple levels,” she said. “One from an economic development standpoint. This is an amenity that does

For the I-10 portion, the ADOT’s plan states: “Growing traffic demand has caused the I-10 corridor between SR 143 and Loop 202 Santan Freeway to become increasingly congested during the morning and evening peak travel periods, and traffic volume projections indicate the congestion will worsen in the future. This study is meant to develop and evaluate nearterm freeway improvement options to accommodate the growing traffic demand.” The complexity of the Spine Corridor is laid out in detail in ADOT’s study, which notes the entire stretch has a total 37 access points, 40 bridges, 26 pump stations and 25 arterial streets that become snarled as a result of traffic jams on the highways themselves. ADOT’s studies say there’s no time to be lost on the improvements because the future looks grim. “Existing daily traffic volumes ranges from 100,000 to 250,000 vehicles per day,” it states. “By 2040, the horizon year for the Corridor Master Plan, traffic volumes will grow to 150,000 to 300,000 vehicles per day.” Planners say what many motorists probably know already: “In most cases, travel times along the corridor are often double or triple the travel time as compared with making the trip without congestion.” Already the traffic crawls are creating a phenomenon called “peak spreading,”

which basically means rush hours get longer. If nothing is done, the study warns, by 2040, “congestion will spread to other times of the day, and in some portions of the corridor will extend to more than 12 hours. The 2018 study estimates it will cost at least $2.5 billion to cover all the improvements it recommends along the entire 31 miles of the Spine Corridor. But that amount leaves several dozen other recommended projects on the table without funding. Other improvements that were recommended but so far have not been funded include: upgrading the I-10 Chandler Boulevard interchange for bicyclists and pedestrians; improving the Warner Road I-10 interchange; and upgrading the I-10 Baseline Road intersection – which Tempe officials say is the most dangerous intersection in the city in terms of the number of crashes that regularly occur there. While tens of thousands of motorists use the Spine Corridor and will be affected by ADOT’s plans, only 496 people responded to a survey that ADOT conducted in early 2017. Part of the study is available at azdot. gov I10BroadwayCurve. ADOT also is soliciting public comment on the plans that will be discussed Tuesday at Rio Salado College. Comments must be submitted by April 1 to projects azdot.gov.

to the school and has been working for several years to upgrade the 500-acre venue, now called Wild Horse Motorsports Park, located on the reservation just off Interstate 10 south of Chandler Boulevard. Right across the street from Wild Horse Pass Resort and Casino and a retail outlet complex, the school itself could become part of the Gila River Indian Community’s efforts to turn that part of the sprawling reservation into a tourism and entertainment destination. Patricia and Bob Bondurant, who live in Paradise Valley, founded the school in 1968 and turned it into an educational and recreational mecca. The school boasts of serving nearly 500,000 go-kart and amateur racing enthusiasts, teens just learning to drive and military and law enforcement personnel developing chase and evasion skills. The school employs 31 full-time and two parttime people. “Both national and international students attend the Bondurant School on a regular basis and learn competition driving, police pursuit driving, evasive driving, and stunt driving, among other types of high-performance driving and racing,”

the school said in bankruptcy filings, noting it also taught “recreational highperformance driving to individuals and corporate groups.” Before relocating to the East Valley, its students included the late actors and racing enthusiasts Jim Garner and Paul Newman, who, like others, were drawn partly

by Bondurant’s own successful racing career. Billing itself as the “largest purposebuilt driving school in the world,” the school sports two training tracks – a 15turn, 1.6-mile road course and a nineturn, 1.2-mile road course – as well as an eight-acre asphalt skills pad.

While it has been struggling to reorganize its finances since filing in October for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the school already has lost a lucrative military training contract and has contended with a blizzard of court motions from many of its creditors. Goodyear Tire has asked the judge to release it from a sponsorship agreement that gave Bondurant an apparently unlimited supply of tires in return for promoting the company exclusively. The Bondurants’ lawyers in court records have raised the possibility of selling the school, stating through their lawyers that a sale of the assets might yield more money for their creditors than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In its Chapter 11 filing, the school lists $2.69 million in secured debts and $766,000 in unsecured debts against $619,000 in assets. The school leases the track and fixtures, which are valued at $2.7 million, according to the filings. When it filed for bankruptcy, the Bondurants posted an announcement on the school’s website, stating, “Our plan is to emerge from this process as a stronger company and continue to drive this company into the next 50 years.”

SCOOTERS

from page 1

cal hospital reported 20 scooter-related accident victims were taken to the trauma unit since October. The trauma unit treats more serious injuries than an emergency room. Scottsdale merchants continue to complain that scooters are being left in the middle of the sidewalk – an ordinance violation – and that little is done to enforce the ordinance. Local officials are now considering special enforcement targeting moving violations by scooter operators – including driving under the influence, speeding and reckless driving. While embracing the emerging technology, Gilbert officials say they are taking into account the public’s safety and complaints about unsightly clutter on rightsof-way. Some of the components of the pilot program include parking requirements, revenue-sharing, penalty fees and safety compliance. McCarty said staff was considering a pilot program without an end date that would be allowed to evolve naturally with the town making modifications as needed along the way. She presented two other options for Council to consider, a pilot program with a single company and an outright ban of the on-demand scooters that require a smartphone app, credit card and driver’s license for use. Dealing with one company would allow Gilbert better control and faster implementation of the pilot program but it would require town resources to kick other competitors out of town, McCarty said. The advantages of going with a program involving more than one company allows for flexibility to accommodate new technology in a rapidly changing ecosystem and exposure to different providers developing varying technologies, staff said. The drawbacks, however, included more staff time and resources to monitor the program. Councilwoman Brigette Peterson said there are two communities in Texas that are doing a good job regulating the new technology and asked staff to get feedback from them. “The only thing that still makes me nervous is this thing is going to evolve over time,” Councilman Scott Anderson said. “I think we are being forced into something we are not ready to accept yet.” He said he didn’t see where staff talked about a plan on what the town needed for infrastructure to handle micromobility transportation. As is, town residents don’t like the current infrastructure for bike lanes, he added.

He said Gilbert needs to find out what other communities are doing in this situation. “Staff feels the same way and wished we got in front of this,” said McCarty. But the town’s micromobility strategy needed to start now, she added. “The goal is to get control over what has been dropped on us,” she said. Town Manager Patrick Banger said it’s not just commercially owned electric transports but a proliferation of privatelyowned scooters that Gilbert also is seeing. He said the data gleaned from a pilot program will help the town make informed decisions so people can enjoy electric bikes and electric scooters recreationally or for a last-mile transport in a safe manner. Councilwoman Aimee Yentes favored an open pilot program and said she understood the infrastructure concern. But this is moving technology and once people think they’ve figured it out, the next new technology appears, she said. Councilman Jared Taylor said the idea of revenue-sharing bothered him and that these companies should be treated like any other company. For example, if an insurance company was to set up in Gilbert, the town would not be asking it for revenue-sharing. He said some method of collecting sales tax, however, should be in place. He also favored having the staff look at cost-recovery from these companies for using public rights-of-way. Vice Mayor Eddie Cook said he favored temporary ban. “All the discussion here to me indicates we haven’t had time to really think about this,” he said, adding he favored putting an end-date for the program. He said he didn’t know how much staff time was being spent on this when there were other higher priority projects that needed staff attention. Mayor Jenn Daniels left the meeting early and did not comment on the issue. Other municipalities also are wrestling with how to deal with the proliferation of e-scooters that started popping up in the Valley in 2018, with more coming. Previously Bird, Lime and Razor were the only providers operating in the Valley but this month they were joined by rideshare company Lyft and Spin, which was acquired by Ford Motor Co. last year. Phoenix is considering a year-long pilot program that would limit the twowheelers to a 2-square-mile area of downtown with a $500 application fee, a $5,000 permit fee and a 10-centsper-ride fee. Council reportedly is to vote on the proposal in March.

2 Campo Verde students earn honors in state contest GSN NEWS STAFF

Two Campo Verde High School students were recognized at the State Capitol for taking two of the top three positions in one of the categories of the annual Arizona Educational Foundation Polly Rosenbaum Creative Writing Contest. Jocelyn Ju took first place and Emily Marie Allen earned third place in the competition’s category for the oldest student entrants. They entered the contest through teacher Lauren Eaton’s class. Both teens and Eaton received a salute from state Superintendent of Public Instruction athy Hoffman. Each year students from seventh through 12th grade can enter the competition and build their submission around a theme set by the foundation. This year’s theme was “If you could create a new political party, what would it be called and what would it stand for ” Here is Jocelyn’s winning entry:

What happened What happened to that carefree girl Playing in the Northern street Oh, you didn’t hear Her brother was shot just last week. He was holding a hairbrush, That was a gun at first peek. What happened to that little boy Who offered me a hug He was deemed a criminal For showing his friend a bug That looked like a cool Western beetle Or apparently, a bag of drugs. What happened to the lovely lady who held my hand when I was sad You liked her Well, that’s too bad. She was detained in the Southern airport Because her head was hijab-clad. What happened to that teenage boy who turned down his music when I’d say He came out to his parents And told them he was gay They discounted the courage it took and told him he would pay. They raised him for 18 years, then kicked him out East in less than a day What happened to that weathered woman whose clothes are always ripped and torn Yeah, she’s just a veteran, fought for us in a war. Now she’s “celebrated” once a year, because we don’t have use for her anymore.

What happened to the sweet boy who carried in my ball His family was ripped apart and held apart by the wall He’s alone at age 5 Barely three and a half feet tall. He doesn’t understand why his family left him. Only that they’re not here at all. What happened to me Am I still okay You You’re fine. Still living your life, from day to day Forget about all those people, everything’s A-okay. Your family is still here. You live your life without PTSD everyday. You never had to worry about getting kicked out. The worst thing at the airport was the plane’s delay. You found a cool bug, and showed your friend. Your brother is coming over on Saturday. If I created a political party of any kind, It wouldn’t be mindless following; It wouldn’t be making everyone blind. If I created a political party, It would stand for those who are lost. It would stand for those who are shunned, or afraid. It would stand for those who were tossed From their homes or jobs without a second thought. It would recognize sacrifices and battles, hard fought. And give love to those who need it, but fight back without a thought. It would mean liberty because as humans, don’t we all just want to be free It would mean equality because we’re all flesh and blood. We’re all plagued by mortality. I’m not so naive that I think this is easy. Is it possible, even Maybe not, but we can cope. But this party would be named for Elpis, the Greek persona of hope. Ancient Greek to tie the present to the past. It would mean hope The one thing that lasts. Because when we’re facing down our beast Whether it be a dragon, or a nightmare, Or a rabid dog, or a crazy priest, Or even ourselves, it’s the one thing that’s there North, West, South, or East.

Gilbert trio slates fundraiser for ‘foster kid Y’ BY JIM WALSH GSN Staff Writer

indy McCain will be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser that three Gilbert women are holding to help launch Jacob’s Mission Community Center, a new facility in east Mesa that would provide a much-needed place for foster kids to congregate. McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain, R-AZ., will speak on March 8 at the ASA Now Inspirational Breakfast

Fundraiser at 8 a.m. at East Valley Institute of Technology Banquet Hall, 1601 W. Main St. ASA Now is a group of three Gilbert mothers and foster mothers who saw a need for a center, not unlike a YMCA for foster children with programs catered to their needs and the needs of foster families. The three women – Anika Robinson, the group’s president; Susan Woodruff and Angela Teachout – have been on a mission since 2016, when they collabo-

rated on a law requiring the state to provide behavioral services faster to foster children. It was dubbed Jacob’s Law in honor of one of Woodruff’s foster children. ASA Now obtained a loan of $1 million from an undisclosed benefactor to buy a church building in the 7800 block of East University Drive, which they are converting into the center. Businessman Randy Hansen read about their efforts and donated $1 million to pay off the mortgage.

But ASA Now, a nonprofit, is now raising funds that would pay for the center’s estimated $20,000-a-month operating cost, Robinson said. She said the programming and operating costs includes only one full-time staffer since the women want to rely on volunteers familiar with the unique needs of foster children to teach classes and provide counseling for children and their families.

HIGLEY HAPPENINGS HIGLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Seniors sign commitments to college sports Nearly three dozen Williams Field and Higley High school students recently signed letters of intention to play sports at colleges and universities across the United States. More than 20 Williams Field seniors announced their plans during a family- and student-focused event on campus recently. The students’ plans will take them from Arizona to Oklahoma to Colorado and beyond. More than half a dozen football players will put on a college jersey next year, including Jadon Pearson, who signed with the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Noa PolaGates, who signed with the University of Nebraska. At Higley High, eight students participated in the celebration and earlier this school year, four others announced their plans during an early-signing event.

High-achieving ACT, SAT students honored Middle school students who achieved high scores on the ACT and SAT the past few years were honored recently by Higley Unified School District. Current students from Higley’s high schools, middle schools, and Bridges Elementary HPAL program and their families came together for the Talent Search awards program Feb. 12, at Higley Center for the Performing Arts. “This is our third year to work with Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, but to also give our students the opportunities other students in top school districts across the country get to take the college entrance exams in middle school to help prepare them for the tests when they will count in their junior year of high school,” said Associate Superintendent Warren Shillingburg.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES AND SUDOKU from Page 34

Gilbert residents Anika Robinson, Angela Teachout and Susan Woodruff have secured a building to serve as a much-needed gathering place for foster kids, but now they need money to pay for operating costs. Hence, they’ve scheduled a fundraiser-breakfast. (GSN file photo)

FOSTER from page 14

Because of their special needs, the children often “don’t fit in’’ and often are behind in school because they have been moved from one foster family to another, she said. ASA Now plans to rely on the network of people they have met as foster parents to work with the children. The goal of Jacob’s Mission Community Center is to create a place where foster children, who often move from one foster family to another, feel at home, Robinson said. “Regardless of what is going on their lives, we have a hub, a home, someplace where they feel safe,’’ Robinson said. “We want to show them that volunteers care and the community cares.’’ “I think in everything, we keep going in faith, knowing we can make a difference for our most vulnerable population,’’ Robinson said. “I think it’s our state’s fundamental obligation to impact the lives of these children.’’ Support groups for both foster children and foster parents also would be available, along with supervised daycare that allows parents to have some time for themselves once in a while. Robinson, Teachout and Woodruff have devoted much of their lives to the needs of children. Robinson alone has 10 children, four biological and six foster, including a newborn baby boy. The building on University Drive near 80th Street originally opened in 1992 as a Masonic Temple and then became the

Church of God of Prophecy, which catered to a Hispanic congregation. The plain-looking block church is painted white and has a simple, white cross outside. It sits on a secluded lot and is not readily visible from the busy road. A classroom building is planned on an empty lot behind the church building, along with a basketball court, a splash pad and other recreational facilities. Woodruff said the children haven’t lived with the same family long enough to participate in the activities that other children do – things like youth sports leagues, dance lessons, piano lessons and all the other learning experiences that help children develop. “We want to wrap our arms around the entire family,’’ Robinson said. She envisions the new community center as a place that will nurture the children, where they are understood, where they can go even if they end up with another family. “We put our son on a basketball team. They kept on saying, what’s wrong with him, why isn’t he paying attention,’’ Robinson said. Without intervention, foster children have a history of a grim future, often ending up in prison or abusing their own children in a never-ending cycle of violence, she said. “We are focusing on prevention,’’ Robinson said. A $30 donation is suggested for attending the breakfast. Tickets are available at eventbrite.com/e/asa-now-inspirational-breakfast-fundraiser-tickets-44005550787.

Gilbert woman can take a ‘snapshot’ of bodily systems BY PAUL MARYNIAK GSN Executive Editor

hen your overall health is an issue, there’s no such thing as too much information. Jennifer Douglass is bringing another conduit to such knowledge with her new business, East Valley Thermography. The Gilbert woman has forged partnerships with Healing Point Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Clinic in Ahwatukee and On Being Well Naturopathic Medicine in Chandler to make thermography more accessible to area residents. Those partners “offer a natural complement to one another, particularly for individuals seeking a more holistic or natural approach to their healthcare,” she said. Thermography also is known as digital infrared thermal imaging, or DITI. A noninvasive, radiation-free diagnostic tool, “its main utility is to detect abnormal physiology. As inflammation is commonly at the root of most disease processes, thermography easily identifies these areas of the body where inflammation is present,” Douglass says on her website. It also is a point of contention in the medical community, with some professionals deriding its claims and sometimes calling it “quackery” and others calling it a non-toxic approach to picking up early signs of cancer and other diseases long before they become a major problem. The federal Food and Drug Administration has weighed into the battle, particularly where breast cancer diagnosis is concerned. But Douglass is careful to underscore the fact that the FDA states thermography is no substitute for a mammogram. What she does assert is that it can become an early-warning system in a way “because thermography provides a snapshot of the vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal systems, it has the ability to detect disease in its infancy and many years earlier than other forms of diagnostic imaging.” And she’s passionate about thermography, noting “It is not a new diagnostic tool. It’s been around for about 30 years and very common in Europe. The U.S. is just very far behind other countries in terms of other alternative therapies.”

Thermology focuses on the physiology of a body while all other diagnostic tests focus on anatomy – which explains why thermology proponents say it can detect a potential problem before it begins to affect a person’s anatomy. A volunteer coordinator for Hospice of the Valley, Douglass stumbled on ther-

fear and uncertainty, I put my health in the hands of my healthcare professionals and followed their advice for surgery and X-rays followed by oral chemotherapy drugs.” But she was also aware that the effects of radiation stay in the body and develop a cumulative effect so that for every CAT

Dr. Maggie Grover of On Being Well Naturopathic Medicine in Chandler, left, and Jennifer Douglass of Gilbert have reached an arrangement where Douglass can take thermographs at Grover’s office.

mography as a result of her own battle with breast cancer. When she was diagnosed in 2014, she said, she was stunned. “For a healthy person, it was a shocking diagnosis,” she recalled. As she elaborates on her company’s website, “I don’t think most people ever really contemplate receiving that kind of news. What I can tell you is that it’s a very vulnerable place to be. With so much

scan, MRI and radiation treatment, the danger of damage to cells and the DNA in those cells can lead to new cancer. Because she needed to get annual screenings, she was concerned about those cumulative effects and began researching alternative methods of monitoring whether her cancer had returned. “I was looking for ways to get my body into good health and try to eliminate as much radiation as possible,” she said.

“For the average 50-year old woman, cancer cells double in size every 90 days on average and thermography has the ability to detect pathology eight to 10 years before the same pathological change is seen through mammography,” Douglass says on her website, adding: “Many women utilize breast thermography as an adjunctive or complementary tool to ultrasound and mammogram. Women with implants are also ideal candidates for thermography, as there is no compression of tissue involved.” Douglass, who was trained at the American College of Clinical Thermography in Florida, said thermography has uses beyond its potential to pick up early signs of breast cancer that might then motivate a woman to seek a more comprehensive diagnosis and, if necessary, treatment. “Diseases and conditions such as heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, thyroid conditions, spinal injuries and DVT are just a handful of the conditions easily identified through thermographic imaging,” she said. That means both men and women could find a potential benefit in a thermographic screening, which Douglass does either for a half or all of a person’s body or for a more localized region, such as breasts, that might be of special concern to a person. Once she takes the thermographs, she sends them to a physician who is trained in reading them. “I am like the radiologist,” she explained. “I send the images to board-certified physicians who have received additional training in reading thermograms. Only one in four doctors makes it through the testing in learning to read them.” The doctor then provides the client with a written report and the color images and it’s then up to the client to decide what, if anything, he or she wants to do next. Though she is just getting her business off the ground, Douglass said she sees it as especially popular among millennials. “They’re not as trusting of the medical establishment,” she said. “They’re shifting to getting to the root of problems and recognize that thermography can help.” Information: evthermology.com or 602730-1644

New Gilbert development retains a piece of EV history

GSN NEWS STAFF

he homes may cost a lot, but people who buy into the blooming Heirloom at Morrison Ranch subdivision in Gilbert won’t just get nice amenities. They’ll get a piece of Gilbert’s past. Camelot Homes broke ground recently for a 56-home development on Higley Road just north of Warner Road and said the Morrison Family’s four grain silos will remain part of the permanent landscape. “These mark the location of the original farm headquarters, and were used to mix grain for the cows housed in the feedlot just west of the tanks,” a spokeswoman said. “Though empty today, they will remain as a reminder of the agricultural roots of Morrison.” Morrison Farms forms one of the great chapters of the East Valley’s agricultural and overall history. The family tended the 3,000-acre farm for more than 80 years, growing cotton, corn and alfalfa and running a dairy with the help of 13,000 cows at its zenith. The family’s website lays out the origins of the farm:

“Young Howard and Leatha Morrison trekked a thousand miles west from Oklahoma in the early 1920s, only to find that times were just as tough for dirt farmers in Arizona. Even so, they dug their roots deep into the small farming town of Gilbert.” The site also notes that the family eventually built one of Arizona’s biggest farming operations, “including several square miles of cropland and one of the world’s largest dairy farms, as well as one of Arizona’s largest ranching businesses, grazing cattle on over 400 square miles of state and leased land stretching from Flagstaff to the Verde River.” For years now the family has been steadily turning the old homestead into the master-planned Morrison Ranch community, though it has aimed for “a community that harkens back to its agricultural roots while actively promoting community amongst the residents.” Hence, the silos will remain a reminder of those roots. Camelot Homes plans to have singleand two-story houses ranging from 3,000 to 5,400 square feet on quarter-acre lots.

Camelot Homes’ Heirloom at Morrison Ranch subdivision will keep the four grain silos used decades ago by the Morrison Family when it farmed the area. (Special to GSN )

The houses will be priced from the low $700,000s to the high $800,000s. The developer apparently anticipates no problem selling the homes at that price range. Right now the development is in

presales and models are expected in a few months. The first homes should be occupied by the end of the year, a spokeswoman said. Information: camelothomes.com

Question for the Resident Dentist:

3 REASONS WHY DENTURES ARE RIGHT FOR YOU By Content Team Posted August 17w, 2018 In Mesa Dental Learning that you may need to get dentures or even envisioning wearing these fixtures might bring some fear into your being. You may envision rickety old teeth that are unattractive. However, today’s dentures aren’t this way. Instead of picturing a scene from a horror movie, you can imagine yourself with a perfect smile. Dentures are right for you due to a host of reasons. 1. ATTRACTIVE TEETH Modern technology, tools and techniques have allowed dentists to craft dentures in ways that the couldn’t before. You don’t need to worry about having a pair of teeth that questionably fit into your mouth. Instead, your dental team will put together a pair that is the right fit for you. Whether you’re looking in the mirror in the morning before heading out to work or browsing through pictures of a party that you were at last weekend, you’re sure to be happy with the new smile that you see. 2. PROTECTED MOUTH You might think that it isn’t a big deal to have some gaps in your mouth. In other words, you may not care about a couple of missing teeth are in a hidden part of your mouth. However, these absences certainly should be concerning to you. Leaving your gums open in that way to infection is a serious problem. You may not know it, but serious diseases can enter into your body through your gums. Getting dentures is not only about aesthetic improvements. This step can also help to enhance your health. 3. REGULAR DENTAL CARE Once you get dentures, you are likely going to want to take proper care of them. After all, you have spent some money and time getting these fixtures in the first place. Since you have dentures, you will almost certainly want to start visiting your dentist more regularly to ensure that everything is going well with the fixtures. Going to the dentist on a regular basis is such an important step to take for your health. Even if you have been lax about this process in the past, taking it seriously now can help you to fix any other damage and to stay on top of your dental hygiene. Getting dentures is not a process that you should fear. Taking this step can help you in so many ways. In addition to having better dental health, you will also likely feel better about the way that you look and smile.

Lawsuit against regents, universities is bad for business BY DENNY BARNEY GSN Guest Writer

ew would disagree with the notion that generating new business opportunities and supporting education is good for the people of Arizona. If we can agree that business and education are good, then it is no stretch to consider attempts to stifle these efforts as, well, bad. I have spent much of my career in business and as a champion for economic development around Maricopa County. Because of my focus on creating jobs and opportunities in our community, I find the state attorney general’s lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents as a step in the wrong direction, and a position that stands against what the vast majority of Arizonans would view as the way our government should be operating. The Omni Hotel and Conference Center planned for ASU’s Tempe campus, of which the attorney general disapproves, is a perfect example of how public universities can contribute to the local economy when given the freedom to do so. The 330-room, four-star hotel will contribute over $32 million annually

‘Green Utopia’ would tax Americans to death

I’m a 29-year-old ASU student majoring in healthcare compliance and father of two boys. I’m the vice president of College Republicans United at ASU and also am pursuing to become a Precinct Committeeman for LD12. First off, so-called “man-made climate change” is nothing more than an attempt at population control engineered by the UN. Since when does the UN dictate American policy? It’s high time the UN lose the United States as a participant for the sake of maintaining national sovereignty here at home and more hardworking American families keep their

to the City of Tempe, according to estimates. Within the first three years of the agreement, the project will create some 300 construction and hospitality jobs. Omni will also enter into an agreement to help offset the capital cost of the Tempe Streetcar Project, an initiative important to the City of Tempe leadership and many taxpayers. Similar university-hotel endeavors exist throughout the U.S. and here in Arizona. They provide universities, among other things, a place to do the work of convening capable and innovative people to work on and solve the problems facing our society. And in this case, they provide the university with much-needed revenue – revenue that has been cut from the university’s budget. The plan is win-win-win: ASU gets desperately needed funding through the payments in lieu of taxes to support its educational mission as a public research university, nothing is taken away from K-12 education and the community gets job creation, tourism and convention dollars and economic development from having a beautiful hotel in the middle of Tempe. It’s a model that should be emulated. The Omni is not the only place where this kind of innovative thinking is taking place. Another remarkable project underway in Tempe and enabled by an ASU

public-private partnership is the Novus Innovation Corridor. Set to transform 330 acres of underutilized land into an energetic, mixeduse urban district, the project will extend from the northeast corner of ASU’s Tempe campus along Rio Salado Parkway toward Tempe Marketplace. Novus brings renovated ASU athletic facilities, 4.2 million square feet of hightech office space, nearly 4,000 residential units, over 660 hotel rooms, and many retail and entertainment venues. During the buildup, economists predict the creation of 22,000 jobs and over $3 billion in economic impact for the Phoenix metropolitan area. Once complete, estimates indicate that Novus will generate $4.5 billion of ongoing, annual economic activity and more than 34,000 jobs. Public-private projects like Omni and Novus are good for two reasons. First, they turn undeveloped land owned by universities into new streams of revenue. Revenue goes to fund the educational mission of our own world class public university founded in the East Valley of metropolitan Phoenix, but with a reach across the state of Arizona and country. And second, the projects themselves build economic momentum for the region and produce the type of buzz that attracts businesses from out of state to

hard-earned tax dollars. Please don’t insult our intelligence and say global warming is caused by humans giving off more carbon dioxide, that is junk science. A Green New Deal will only increase the federal government’s control over our state’s resources and would require a tremendous increase in tax dollar spending. Contrary to Al Gore in 2006 in his “An Inconvenient Truth,” the polar ice caps still remain and the polar bear population has increased, rather than decreased according to the Global Warming Policy Foundation from 22,500 to about 30,000 in the span of 12 years. Now THAT is an inconvenient truth! Contrary to the progressive narrative that the sky is falling and we’re running out

of fossil fuel resources, the opposite is the truth. According to the Institute for Energy Research, both Alaska and Texas continue to discover new resources amounting to over 2.5 billion barrels of oil and 75 trillion cubic feet of natural gas beginning in 2016. What do these increases in domestic oil and natural gas reserves mean for us? According to a 2017 article in Bloomberg, “By 2025, the growth in American oil production will equal that achieved by Saudi Arabia at the height of its expansion, and increases in natural gas will surpass those of the former Soviet Union, the International Energy Agency predicted. The boom will turn the U.S., still among the biggest oil importers, into a net exporter of fossil fuels.”

Arizona. Universities add other attractive aspects for corporations that want to relocate here and need access to a skilled workforce. A steady pipeline of talented college graduates close by also helps. This opens the door for internships, full-time jobs and other opportunities to collaborate across a wide spectrum of activities. Gone are the days when public universities could depend on significant state funding. They now have to be creative and dynamic in finding sustainable funding solutions. And let’s face it, universities have to compete. Attracting the brightest faculty, having modern facilities and employing the professional staff to keep everything running smoothly adds to the cost of doing business. A judge will decide whether this lawsuit has merit. But there is a bigger issue at stake. In the end, either the universities will continue to have the liberty to create new streams of revenue and provide business opportunities to the community that lead to positive outcomes, or they will not. In any case the vibrancy of our new age economy for generations to come depends on it.

-Denny Barney is president and CEO of East Valley Partnership.

In other words, fossil fuels in America will not be completely depleted for many, many years to come, arguably well beyond our lifetime. What investment would you, the Gilbert taxpayer, wish to see fulfilled: an updated US-Mexico border wall protecting you and your families for roughly $5 billion, or hundreds of trillions of dollars to implement Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal? Let’s face the real facts, the majority of American citizens continue to NOT want to be taxed to death to produce the futuristic “green utopia” of the Democratic-Socialist Party! -Matthew Northway

Campo girls win soccer state title, boys 2nd BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor

igh school coaches don’t often get an immediate shot at redemption following a tough state-tournament loss. Most have to wait until the following year. For Campo Verde’s Drew Guarneri, his shot came 30 minutes later. It didn’t take Guarneri’s Campo Verde girls soccer team long to take over their 5A state-championship match. Dominant play at midfield by the No. 5 Coyotes sealed the 1-0 victory over No. 6 Millennium for the title, immediately after Guarneri’s third-seeded Campo boys fell, 4-0, to No. 1 Sunnyside in their 5A state-championship match.

Campo reached the title match by upsetting No. 1 Ironwood Ridge, 1-0, in a semifinal. “I’ve been playing soccer at Campo for four years and it’s just perfect timing for my senior year to say goodbye this way,” Duranczyk said. “I’m just so happy.” While it was a tough loss for the boys, Guarneri put it in perspective. “The boys have been in it (title match) three years in a row, so they should be proud of what they have accomplished,” he said. Last year, the Coyotes’ boys defeated Chaparral to claim the title. Guarneri was finally able to let his emotions loose after the girls’ win. Hoisting the state-championship trophy for the second year in a row was reward-

It’s all Gilbert: Tigers’ girls, boys play for hoops titles

ets. Each reached their respective statechampionship games, where, coincidentally, both face Millennium on Monday, Feb. 25, in back-to-back games at Arizona State University’s Wells Fargo Arena. The second-seeded Lady Tigers routed No. 3 Horizon, 68-52, in a semifinal and face top-seeded Millennium at 6 p.m. Monday for the championship. Topseeded Millennium breezed past No. 12 Casteel, 63-35, in the other semi. The top-seeded Gilbert boys play Millennium for the state title, at 8 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers survived a semifinal thriller over No. 4 McClintock, 46-45, to advance. In the other semi, No. 6 Millen-

nium upset No. 2 Apollo, 72-61. “I barely had to say anything in the locker room,” Gilbert girls coach Kyle Pedersen said. “This team is for each other. So when times get tough, they all come together and know what we need to do.” Led by Haley and Hanna Cavinder, Gilbert jumped to a 9-0 lead. As they have all season, the Cavinders led Gilbert in scoring, combining for 21 points in the first half. The Huskies had few answers for Hanna and Haley, who used a combination of speed and ballhandling to penetrate Horizon’s defense. “There was a time where they were closer than we thought they would be,” Pedersen said. “We knew we had to take back control and there aren’t many girls that can guard the twins.” The twins drew fouls or created open

ing. “I can kind of take a breath now,” Guarneri said. “This group (of girls) has been starting since their freshman year. Coming in, we knew they were good enough to win it but we had to be focused enough to win it. They showed they’ve matured in that fashion.” In the boys match, both teams got numerous shots on goal during the first 15 minutes. The Coyotes did not capitalize. “I feel like this wasn’t the way we usually play,” senior forward Christian Flores said. “I know Campo Verde senior forward Christian Flores controls the ball during the Coyotes’ 4-0 loss to Sunnyside in the boys 5A soccer we could have done way better.” state-championship match.

looks for teammates. “It shows that it’s not just about Hannah and I,” Haley said. “We had Leah (Millman) down there hitting six lay ups in a row. Symone (Humphrey) hitting threes. Everybody contributes.” Haley finished withs 25 points and 7 rebounds. Hanna aded 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. “We just need to understand that we can’t overhype what it is,” Hanna said. “Coach just always tells us it’s a basketball game, just another game.” Gilbert’s lead gradually increased through the second half, and there was wild celebration at center court when the final buzzer sounded. As the girls were jubilant in victory, the boys team looked on, hoping they would repeat it later in the night. And they did, in far more dramatic fashion. Leading by three points with six seconds remaining, Gilbert center Carson Towt was fouled and sent to the freethrow line with a chance to seal the victory. Towt’s first free throw went in. His second bounced off the rim and into the hands of McClintock guard Donavan Wil-

liams, who hit a buzzer-beating threepoint shot from half court. It cut the margin to one point, but that’s all the Tigers needed to move on to the title game. “That’s the type of moment we like, it’s what we prepare for,” said Towt, who had 8 points and 13 rebounds. “To end practice every day, Coach has one of us hit two free throws to send us home. I hit one but thankfully we were up by three.” The Chargers led, 20-19, at the half. As they have all season when facing adversity, the Tigers responded, opening the third quarter with an 11-0 run. “We just trusted each other,” Gilbert guard Doc Self said. “We had to get back to that. That’s what got us here and helped us the entire season. We got back to that and pulled it out.” But another run by McClintock gave it the lead in the final quarter before defense by the Tigers allowed them to retake the lead, and then ultimately the victory with Towt’s clutch shot at the free-throw line. “Carson is a kid who came to me and wanted to fix his shot, especially at the line,” Gilbert coach Jay Caserio said. “He worked really hard and shot hundreds of free throws. He’s gotten to the point where he feels comfortable and it was huge.”

ori Kelly remembers Arizona as a child: the desert climate, the mountains and Easter. “I remember it being very hot, too,” Kelly said. “But I’m a SoCal girl, so I’m used to that.” Kelly will get another look at the Valley when she plays an acoustic show at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe on Tuesday, Feb. 26. On this jaunt, she will be joined by guitarist Mateus (Nogueira) Asato, whom Kelly called “amazing.” She is showcasing a stripped-down side of her. “I think my newer music has a more live element to it,” she said. “They’re really fun to play acoustically. My older stuff is more challenging – in a fun way.” The new music she’s referring to is her latest collection “Hiding Place,” which won Best Gospel Album at this year’s Grammy Awards. Kelly also took home Best Gospel Performance Song for the song “Never Alone.” “One of the things I want for this album is for people to feel uplifted and encouraged when they listen,” she said. “I want them to know that, no matter what they’re going through, there’s a God who loves them so much and so unconditionally, and there’s always a reason to feel hope. That’s what I really believe in, and I want everyone out there to hear my heart.” Produced by Kirk Franklin, “Hiding Place” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart, earning

With a lineup that includes Peter Buck and Mike Mills, formerly of R.E.M., The Baseball Project has power hitters behind its music. “They didn’t know about us and I guess by the time they did it was too late,” the multiinstrumentalist McCaughey said of Innings Festival organizers. “I’m really glad they made room for us this time. We definitely belong there.” The Baseball Project – which also features vocalist/guitarist Steve Wynn and drummer Linda Pitmon – is joined by a Hall of Fameworthy group of musicians like Eddie Vedder, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, Liz Phair, G.

Love and Special Sauce is celebrating its 25th anniversary. “You just blink your eye and wake up and all of a sudden you’re old,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a testament to the fans and how much support we’ve had over the years. If it wasn’t for you, there’d be no us. “We’ve achieved a sort of cult fan base. We achieved a certain level of success, but it’s never been massive commercial success.

He must still have it. “As a kid, I played basketball with a pitcher for the Diamondbacks, Mike Koplove. “His father was my basketball coach for one year.

“Our fan base is like a community,” he said. “They’re very supportive. It’s a testament to our fans that we’ve been around for so long. Our touring is the thing that always sustains us. We love to play live. “When I think about my job, my job is to make people happy, to communicate and connect with people. That’s something I take really seriously.” The Baseball Project takes its shows – and its love of baseball – seriously, too.

Caughey had a conversation – after many drinks – about their love of baseball. They jokingly discussed having a baseball-theme band. “Peter joined, even though he’s not as much of a baseball fan,” McCaughey said. “We didn’t know we were going to be a band. We just got together and made a record about baseball. It just snowballed.” McCaughey has lived in Tucson, while his family resided in Ajo and Glendale. He saw his first baseball game at Hi Corbett Field, a spring-training game between the Indians and the Giants. He moved to the San Francisco Bay area when he was 9. His teams are the San Francisco Giants, the Oakland A’s and the Seattle Mariners, in that order, he stresses.

I’ll play some old stuff, too, that fans will hopefully like.”

“We’ll be playing nothing but songs about baseball,” said McCaughey.

Sheet-pan-cooked brats and veggies an easy dish

heet-pan cooking became a huge trend in 2018, and I don’t see it going away anytime soon. I really love a sheet pan meal when you can combine fresh seasonal vegetables with a juicy protein, like steak or sausage. That allows the juices and fat to drip to the bottom of the pan, flavoring the vegetables in a really delicious way. I did a little experimenting this week, and it paid off in a big way. If I cook sausage, it’s almost always Italian sausage, but the idea of brats and veggies just struck a chord with me. Brats are juicy and flavorful, and I was hoping presented by

that that would carry throughout the sheet pan, so I didn’t boil them first. Bingo! It was a hit. I also added extra virgin olive oil and balsamic for moisture and two types of cheeses which gave the final dish a rich, full-bodied flavor. The yellow onion brought sweetness to the vegetable medley, and garlic and green onions added even more flavor. Make it your own, add your favorite spices and enjoy the convenience, easy clean-up and deliciousness of sheet-pan cooking. Watch my how-to video: jandatri.com/recipe/
