ilbert schools at ris for measles

t a time when state vaccination rates are on the decline and measles has reached epidemic proportions, almost 1 0 elementary schools in the ast Valley are at risk for an outbreak – including 33 in Gilbert. sing data from the Ari ona epartment of Health Services, the Gilbert Sun News found that 148 schools in handler, ilbert, Mesa, ueen reek and Tempe have less than 9 percent of their kindergartners vaccinated for Measles Mumps ubella. The enters for isease ontrol and revention says coverage rates below 9 percent no longer protect those who can’t be vaccinated – such as babies, people with certain medical conditions and pregnant women.
Those rates come at a time when measles — once all but eradicated — has become a worldwide epidemic. Mesa ublic chools, the state’s largest district, has the highest number of at-risk schools with 4 . handler nified chool istrict comes in second with 34; followed by Gilbert ublic chools, ueen reek nified chool istrict, 18 Tempe lementary chool istrict,12 and yrene chool istrict, si . While public schools make up the majority of at-risk schools, charters have the highest rates of vaccine e emptions, data show. The non-district schools make up the bulk of those with coverage rates at least 10 percent lower than the safety threshold. Some of the larger charter schools in that category include the enjamin ranklin harter chool- rimson and ilbert’s Ari ona

Will umble, e ecutive director of the Ariona ublic ealth Association, who has been studying vaccination rates in Ari ona since he was the head of the state health department in 2009, said the statistics illustrate a common theme. “There are a couple of trends we’ve seen in Ari ona over the years, said umble. “One in general is that it’s the higher income families with higher educational levels – both parents have college degrees and an income of over 100,000 – that are the ones we see choosing not to vaccinate. Not because of bad access to care but just because they decided not to. Humble no longer works with the depart-

jury has one job left after taking nearly four months to determine that a convicted murderer was guilty of an intentional killing when he shot Gilbert police Lt. Eric Shuhandler to death nine years ago. That last decision is a weighty one, the sort likely to stay with jurors the rest of their lives; they must decided whether Christopher Angel Redondo should live or die. huhandler, a beloved ilbert officer, was gunned down during a traffic stop on an. 28, 2010, as he walked toward a pickup truck after checking edondo’s identification. “At 42, he still had a long life of family adventures ahead of him.

Gilbert Council poised to OK preliminary budget BY CECILIA CHAN Managing ditor
G
ilbert Town Council is scheduled May 2 to adopt a 1.0 billion preliminary budget for the fiscal year that begins uly 1. The proposed 2020 spending plan is 8. percent higher – or about 80 million higher – than the current spending plan. inal budget adoption and a public hearing were scheduled for une 6. udget irector elly fost said at a recent Council study sessio that new spending requests from departments came in at million, but the recommendation was to approve 19. million of it. She added that staff began working on the budget in September.
More than half of the proposed spending for ilbert was million for the capital improvement program, which funds public infrastructure such as streets improvement. The proposed I was an increase of million from the prior year. The 1 -minute presentation included 194 million proposed for the general fund, which largely pays for employees to provide services such as police, fire and parks. A total 68 new employees were proposed for the 2020 budget, including 20 more for police, seven for fire and about 1 for parks. fost told the ouncil the 21 million increase in general fund spending from the prior year was due to two new parks
coming on line and new police hires. No change was proposed for the secondary property ta rate levy of 0.99 per 100 of assessed value. The rate was e pected to bring in 24 million, which is used to make debt payments. ouncilman ared Taylor noted the economy was e pected to slow and asked if the Town has a contingency plan to adjust spending. “The first line of defense is not to spend it in the first place, fost said. If the town encounters a bad year with no increases in sales ta , a major revenue source, there are a contingency fund and a rainy-day fund, she said. “ ut we will cut before that, she said, adding sales ta revenue actually was e pected to increase.

A
n Ahwatukee irl cout rownie Troop of third graders may one day learn the lesson in Ari ona hardball politics that their environmental project triggered. ut for now, the 1 -girl troop – whose identity is being withheld by GSN at the request of their an ious parents and Scoutmaster Heather Sapp – hasn’t been told that their months-long effort to curtail the release of balloons in Ari ona provoked an unusual and strident news release from ouse Majority Leader Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert. And even if they eventually learn about the tirade, the girls will likely continue to seek a law that drastically limits the release of balloons into the air, Sapp said. Many bills are introduced in the tate Legislature every session that never get a hearing and subsequently fade into oblivion without a mention – or a press release noting their demise. ut on April 12 etersen issued a press release to celebrate the fact that 2664 was one of them, stating he “applauded ouse epublicans for killing it. “If enacted, 2664 would have prohibited the releasing of balloons into the air, as well as mandating e pensive warning label requirements for manufactures to affi to balloons prior to sale, the release began. It then quoted etersen as saying: “With committee work over, it’s all but certain that this radical ‘balloon bill’ will

I’m proud that my epublican colleagues killed a bill with such e pansive overreach into people’s lives. ot even -year-olds at a birthday party would be safe from such an e treme bill, which would carry a penalty up to 00. This model legislation put forth by my emocratic colleagues is a model of what shouldn’t be introduced in the Ari ona Legislature. Petersen’s colleague – Glendale Republican Anthony ern – gleefully tweeted the release. The bill was introduced by State Rep. Mit i pstein, whose district includes Ahwatukee, specifically at the request of her constituents – namely, the 8- and 9-year-old girls who had been working for months to do something about curbing the release of balloons. o far five states, si cities and two other
countries have such laws in recognition of the ecological damage that balloons wreak on the planet. olphins, whales, turtles and many other marine species, as well as animals and birds have been hurt or killed by balloons, which can block their digestive tract as they slowly starve to death. irds and smaller animals can also become entangled in balloons and their ribbons, left virtually immobile until they die. alloons also have been known to spark electrical fires and power outages when they get tangled up in power transformers. Salt River Project estimates that its service areas see 80 outages a year caused by Mylar balloons that were set free. “It’s not just ’s area that is affected all utility providers, including municipal utilities, face the same problem, the Ariona League of ities has stated. “The ity
of Mesa nergy esources faces similar Mylar balloon issues especially around graduation season. In submitting the bill, pstein said she was performing a constituent service. Petersen ironically is doing the same thing on behalf of an 18-year-old ilbert high school student who sought his help in getting lemonade designated as the state beverage. That bill is still winding its way through the Legislature. app e plained the project started with a reading assignment by the girls, including her daughter Amber that e amined the environmental damage caused by balloons. That damage is e tensive enough to have prompted college football champion lemson niversity last year to end a -year tradition of releasing balloons en masse at the beginning of each home football game. isturbed by what they learned, the girls decided to make balloons the target of their Wonders of Water project – one of many activities Girl Scout troops across the country undertake as part of their education in civic responsibility and leadership. They took a trip to ealife at Ari ona Mills, where an e hibit discusses the harm that trash on the beach and in the ocean causes marine life. One photo in the e hibit shows how sea turtles risk death from balloon fragments. Sapp’s daughter Amber was concerned

oyce Mendelsohn, huhandler’s sister, told the jury last week. The officer’s two daughters, Meredith and Nicole, joined her in making victimimpact statements. They described the impact of losing their brother and father on their lives. Meredith was 12 and icole was 10 when their father was slain. “I could not make sense of his loss. I still can’t,’’ Mendelsohn said, noting that their mother was never the same after he son’s slaying and died of cancer in 201 . She said it is too painful for their father to speak about his son’s death. “How can you deal with the loss of someone so integral, being taken away from us so suddenly and so violently?’’ Mendelsohn said. Meredith, an Ari ona tate niversity student, views her father as an inspiration and always wants to live up to his e pectations. “All I know is that it’s a feeling that no child should e perience,’’ she said about her father’s slaying. “I will always value the time we had together. There isn’t anything I can say to let you know how much I miss him.’’ Nicole Shuhandler described how her
Christopher Redondo father stopped by her class when she was in kindergarten to read one of her favorite stories to the class. Nicole is listed on Cal tate- ullerton’s web site as a member of their women’s’ volleyball team. “The last conversation I had with my ad, I will never forget,’’ she said. “The memories of my ad, I will cherish forever.’’ As the penalty phase got underway, defense attorney an aynak and prosecu-
tor uan Martine last week summari ed their positions before Marti Loring, h. , a clinical social worker and clinical sociologist from Atlanta, took the stand as a defense witness. The penalty phase is e pected to take two or three weeks before the jury considers a death verdict. Redondo did not attend the court hearing. A detention officer told Maricopa ounty uperior ourt udge avid unanan that Redondo was brought to the courthouse from his jail cell, but acted up by banging his head and making noises. She said he was taken back to the jail. Martine reminded jurors that they already had found edondo guilty of firstdegree murder in Shuhandler’s slaying and five aggravating factors, including use of a deadly weapon. He noted that Redondo already has been convicted of killing another man, Ernie ingh, in March 2009, and he accused Redondo of being a malingerer who was faking his mental health condition. Redondo’s trial was delayed for years because of issues determining whether he is competent to stand trial, meaning that he understands the charges against him and was capable of assisting his attorneys in his defense. The second prong of that test was the biggest obstacle. Tests administered after Redondo’s ar-
rest found methamphetamine in Redondo’s system, Martine said. ut aynak said edondo was repeatedly beaten by his father, Angel, who also served time in prison, and that Redondo’s violent upbringing left him with brain damage and a deep distrust of police and other authority figures. “He provided alcohol and drugs at an early age to Christopher. He took him to parties at 8, 9 years old,’’ aynak said. “There are M Is and T scans that show Christopher has holes in his brain.’’ He said Angel Redondo also beat up Christopher’s mother, part of a pattern of domestic violence in the family that goes back to Redondo’s grandfather and grandmother. Raynak said Redondo killed Singh because he thought Singh had raped Redondo’s wife. Redondo has been diagnosed as a paranoid schi ophrenic, who also suffers from intermittent e plosive disorder, aynak said. “He believed the police were out to get him,’’ Raynak said. “He suffered from neglect. He had no good role models at all.’’ “He’ll just lose control and say and do things for no apparent reason. I ask you to consider all of this.’’

Maricopa ounty is among the 60 percent of Ari ona counties at risk for a measles outbreak. Haley Elementary School in Chandler has a 92 percent coverage rate for the MM vaccine. Although the rate is below the threshold, Principal Pam Nephew said she considers the school to be provaccine. “We just want to keep everybody healthy here. There are some people who come in with religious or medical reasons and all they have to do is fill out that form and there’s no accountability, said ephew. “Anybody can fill it out.

added, “those children would need to be out of school. That’s basic protocol for any school. That’s difficult because then the kids are going to be missing information. The school’s coverage increased by one percent from last year, though, going against the statewide trend. Mesa’s homeschool agleridge nrichment Program has one of the highest numbers of unvaccinated kindergartners. More than half of the public school’s kindergartners are e empt. ecause the students only meet for class one-to-three times per week, Principal Aimee e La Torre said she isn’t concerned. “I respect the decision they’re the parents] making. They’ve made the choice to homeschool, which allows more fle ibility in all areas of a child’s life, she said. “We have not had any major scares or anything. Measles is currently at the center of the

vaccine controversy, with more than 6 0 cases of the disease popping up in the nited tates since the beginning of 2019 -- including in Ari ona. This is the highest number of confirmed cases since it was declared eliminated in 2000, according to the . The disease is highly contagious and early symptoms can include high fever 104-degree range , cough, runny nose and watery eyes, followed by a rash three days later.

threats, anti-va ers are continuing to run rampant on social media, he said. “The social media revolution and the internet made it so much easier for people with inaccurate and misleading information to have a voice and confuse people, he said. “Vaccine-skeptical and anti-vaccine parents can share misleading information and then grow their cohort of anti-va people. The fuel for misinformation stems from a debunked 1998 study that linked immuni ations to autism, he e plained. In places like edona, where vaccine e emptions are particularly high, umble attributes anti-va attitudes to liberalism and higher education. “It’s this kind of left-wing enclave up there where people are considering their carbon footprint, but won’t vaccinate their kids, he said, adding: “Vaccines are a social contract you have with your community, and that vaccine you provide for your kid benefits all of the kids in that community – especially kids with special needs and those who can’t get vaccinated. The health e pert also mentioned that today’s generation of younger parents weren’t confronted by measles in the same way that older generations were, so they might not fully understand the seriousness of the disease.

SAP Holdings is a subsidiary of Castle olf Inc., which designs and builds miniature golf courses and family-fun centers around the world. The conceptual plan shows Santan Adventure Park built in three phases, with the first phase to include a mini-golf course, an outdoor ma e and indoor party rooms. The project’s amenities proposed in 201 included a total of three mini-golf courses, a splash pad, an outdoor party

area, rope course and batting cages. Thornton said the project’s future phases will be in line with the uses permitted in the lease. “We are planning a family-friendly entertainment option unlike anything else in Gilbert and we look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks, Thornton said in an email. Outside of the estimated 92,000 annually that the town is e pected to receive through the lease and shared-revenue payments when the project opens, no other economic impact has been determined for ilbert, ennedy said. The town’s cost for the project is 0 annually to maintain the parking lot asphalt.
The 92-acre rossroads ark also is home to A Ice ilbert, an indoor ice skating and hockey rink, a lake, an amphitheater and basketball and volleyball courts. Other mini-golf venues in the ast Valley include wingin’ afari Mini olf in handler, olfland unsplash in Mesa and low utt Mini olf in cottsdale. According to olf.com, the latest . . Golf Economy Report showed alternative facilities such as miniature golf facilities generated 1.1 1 billion, up from 90 .1 million in 2011.

Loring testified that when she found edondo on the floor, he yelled at her to go away and leave him alone. She said his behavior was inconsistent with that of malingers, who often would tell her untrue stories to make their condition look worse. “I don’t believe he was malingering. e didn’t do what people do when they are malingering,’’ Loring said. “He looked frightened and terrified.’’ Loring said she attempted to e amine Redondo twice, for about a half hour each
time, and even sang some patriotic songs in hopes of putting his mind at rest and obtaining his cooperation. he testified that he spoke with her very little, hampering her evaluation, and that she based most of her conclusions on a review of his medical records and interviews with family members. “Mr. edondo lived in a constant state of being frightened and even terrified. e e perienced abuse by his father as a child where he was treated like a human football,’’ Loring testified. She said Redondo was taught to fear the police by his father. “It’s over and over again, like brainwashing,’’ she said. The rest of edondo’s trial is e pected to include the testimony of mental health e perts.
ilbert has given the developer of a miniature-golf course proposed for rossroads istrict ark another two years to open the attraction at no and reenfield roads.

Sapp’s group suggested initially that they write to Hillary Clinton to get a ban on balloons – prompting a lesson on the difference between state and federal legislation and a suggestion that the 2016 emocratic presidential candidate probably is in no position to get a law passed about anything. So, the girls decided to write to a state legislator last fall. “ ecause they are girls, they wanted to write to a female legislator, app e plained, noting Epstein was the logical person because the other female L 18 representative, ennifer ermaine, hadn’t been sworn in yet. “We thought it was going to end there, Sapp said. “We were so proud of them for taking the initiative. ut pstein took it much further than the girls could ever have imagined.

“She invited them over to her house and the girls were so e cited talking to this lawmaker, app said. “We sat down at the kitchen table and she really listened to them. Some of the girls’ ideas were a little outlandish; there was a lot of back and forth and give and take. inally, pstein wrote a bill, invited the girls down to the Capitol, gave them a tour – and let them drop the measure in the hopper. The bill called for a ma imum 00 fine for the release of more than four balloons at one time and required a warning on every packet of balloons that outlined their menace. ut neither pstein nor app ever e pected the bill to go anywhere this session. “The girls brought compassion, concern and activism to their project, pstein said. “They did research and created posters to help people understand that when pretty balloons become litter, they harm wildlife. Their message: alloons indoors are fun and fantastic. ut outdoors, hang onto them. o not release them.

Moreover, pstein added, “I did not intend for the bill to get a hearing this year because the Natural Resources Commit-

This bill deserves attention, so ne t year we will bring it to the atural Resources committee. “ or this year, she continued, “the girls and I drafted a bill that has everything in it – plus the kitchen sink. It is there for the scouts to tell each other about it and see it online, whether they live in Ahwatukee or Yuma or Pinetop. That way, they can discuss which of the ideas should be in the bill for anuary 2020 and which should not be in the ne t bill. “They have big ideas about how to help people learn that when wildlife eat balloon litter, they can die. In Ari ona, bighorn sheep are important to the desert, but balloons can be fatal for them. alloon litter is also bad for livestock like cattle, turkeys and ostriches. Added app: “We knew it wasn’t perfect. It was intended to be a starting point for a conversation. We don’t want to punish anybody for releasing a balloon. The bill ultimately came from a bunch of 9-yearold girls who just want people to stop and think. ermaine, who signed on as a cosponsor, called Petersen’s news release “disheartening. “I told epublican leadership that it was a bill submitted by our constituents, girls
age 8 and 9 who were learning about the legislative process, ermaine told A “The bill was never irst ead’ and never given a committee hearing, so to say that they ‘killed it’ is dishonest and demeaning of the committee process.

italyst ealth oundation has awarded a 1 ,000 grant to a nonprofit cofounded by a ilbert woman. She is developing a home where e pectant mothers with opioid-use disorders and their newborns can get treatment. Hushabye Nursery has partnered with ignity ealth, outhwest uman evelopment, hoeni hildren’s ospital and Maricopa Integrated ealth ervices
to find a property and create a center for these women so they are not separated from their babies during treatment. Hushabye is a project launched by Gilbert resident Tara Sundem and Ahwatukee resident elly Woody, both neonatal nurse practitioners. The nonprofit envisions starting off with 12 private rooms, each big enough to have a twin bed, a crib and a rocking chair. Neonatal withdrawal can take up to eight weeks. Once the babies are stabi-
thing that is unique and as individual as Ari ona is.’’ en. Victoria teele, -Tucson, had a suggestion she thought met that test: margaritas. That, she said, is much more in line with a typical Ari ona drink. ut that didn’t fly. “I believe that everyone in the state should be able to drink the state drink,’’ Pace said. “Some people don’t drink alcohol and some people aren’t old enough to drink alcohol.’’ en. ebecca ios, - hoeni , had a suggestion of her own that would fit that test. “I think if we’re talking about what the official drink of Ari ona should be something that’s more specific and related,’’ she said. “Perhaps water.’’ enate resident aren ann, Prescott, backed lemonade and rejected any suggestion that it was silly for the Legislature to be dealing with the subject, particularly with important issues like the failure to adopt a state budget. Anyway, ann said, this measure is no different than others that lawmakers introduce on behalf of constituents. As for what Glover will do, Petersen said, “I’m sure he’ll try to convince them to vote, yes.’ In giving the lemonade law a glimmer of hope on Thursday, senators denied their about-face was because Petersen has put the squee e on them. “I talked to some people,’’ he said following the 18-12 vote. Asked what he said, etersen replied, “I don’t recall.’’ As majority leader, Petersen holds certain powers to help decide what bills do and do not get a vote. ut ann said that’s not what’s behind the move to reconsider Wednesday’s vote. “He has never threatened anything,’’ she said, adding that Petersen is not holding up action on any Senate bills until he gets his way.
etersen agreed to sponsor 2629 after Gilbert teen Garrett Glover discovered that while Ari ona has a state flower, a state gemstone and even a state firearm, it lacks a state beverage. ntil Wednesday, 2629 had not proven particularly controversial, having cleared the ouse on a - margin. ouse peaker usty owers said no one is telling senators that their failure to support Petersen’s bill will in any way harm their own legislation awaiting action in the House. All that’s occurring, he said, is some education of lawmakers who are balking. “A little boy in a classroom, trying to learn about civics, brought it,’’ owers said. “Mr. etersen would like that known.’’ owers said it’s not like this is the first time that lawmakers allow their constituents, including school children, to write such state laws. The two-tailed swallowtail became the state butterfly in 2012 after a statewide poll. Three years later, a teacher and students from Copper Creek Elementary School convinced lawmakers to designate copper as the official state metal. And it took the e hortations of an 11-year-old boy to convince lawmakers just last year to designate the Sonorasaurus as the official state dinosaur. Petersen said he’s not the only one applying a bit of pressure to senators to convince them of the error of their ways. “I know that the young man is calling members, too, as well, to try to get them to reconsider,’’ he said. Glover told the Gilbert Sun News that he was unsure whether he would be going to the Capitol to speak with senators face-toface. Thursday’s Senate action does not commit lawmakers to now vote for lemonade but simply sets the stage for a new vote whenever ann decides to bring the issue to the floor.

The town received nine responses and a panel screened them down to three contenders, who then submitted their project proposals, according conomic evelopment director an enderson. enderson said ouncil in e ecutive session then directed staff to negotiate with one contender, which he declined to identify, to develop the site. “This item is currently intended to go to ouncil on May 2 or May 16, he said. “The Town Council has not yet approved either the proposal or a development and disposition agreement, including a purchase agreement, so we cannot share specifics at this time." He added the goal is to have the site developed with a variety of uses according to the eritage istrict edevelopment Plan, which was updated last year. ince its adoption in 1991, the plan has guided the bulk of development in downtown.

ll ou need to no about the te tin ban an offending motorist from being stopped between now and then, though police could issue only warnings for violating the new law.
BY HOWARD FISCHER apitol Media ervices
H
ere are some things you need to know about the new te ting law.
What will be forbidden? The new law will make it illegal to “physically hold’’ or “support with any part of the body’’ any cellphone or other portable wireless communication device while operating a motor vehicle. The law bans not only chatting on the phone but writing, sending and reading te t messages, emails, instant messages or internet data.
hat are the e e ce tions rivers can make calls if they use earpieces, headphones or any type of device worn on a wrist to conduct voice communications. Vehicles with built-in interfaces with cellphones also are e empt as long as they can be operated with minimal interactions, meaning simply to press a button to active or deactivate. People also can get and send te ts translated into voice. What about other types of devices? The same restrictions on holding a cellphone also apply to any “stand-alone electronic device.’’ That means anything with stored audio or video
What about watching live TV? That already is illegal. ut the new law clarifies that statute does not apply to mapping services which update images as well as to cars and trucks with built-in video screens that provide information about the vehicle. n o erations that are not sub ect to the law?

Michael William almatier, 4 , faced three felony counts of se ual conduct with a minor, kidnapping and indecent e posure, according to Maricopa County court documents. A judge approved a court-appointed attorney and set bail at 2 0,000 for almatier. The judge also mandated conditions if he made bail and is released from the county’s ourth Avenue ail. Palmatier would need to wear an electronic ankle monitor, be monitored for alcohol and drug use and have no contact with the victim, her family, witnesses or any minors. Palmatier did not speak at the court appearance. almatier also was ordered to find another place to reside because the victim lived in the same Queen Creek neighborhood.
ilbert spokeswoman ennifer arrison in a released statement said the town was aware of the arrest and pointed out the alleged incident occurred when Palmatier was off duty. She said Palmatier worked for Gilbert from Oct. 22, 199 to April 24, 2019. “Prior to his arrest, he resigned from employment with the Town of ilbert, she stated. Maricopa ounty heriff’s deputies arrested almatier, a fire captain, at :49 a.m. April 24 at the ilbert ire and escue epartment’s administration building. He was handcuffed immediately after first meeting privately with fire command staff and personnel. Maricopa ounty heriff s Office was contacted April 21 by the victim’s family after the girl disclosed the alleged assault. The second-grader told investigators she was asleep in her aunt’s bedroom and awoke to a man se ually molesting her, according to the probable cause statement. The man, whom she later identified as almatier, also e posed himself to her, according to the document. The girl tried to escape but Palmatier

Once the door was locked, Palmatier said, “please forgive me, to the girl, who responded she would if he gave back her shorts, which he did not do, the document said At some point, the girl unlocked the door and Palmatier was no longer in the room. She saw a relative and called for help.

Gilbert’s own orchestra seeks broader public support BY SRIANTHI PERERA GSN Contributor

Viola player Candace Park, a member of the U.S. military who moved to Gilbert four years ago, auditioned and was selected to join the symphony. “When I finally moved back home after traveling the world with my viola, I was stunned to find there was no group I could play with in Gilbert,” she said. “The turnout for the inaugural concert alone shows the desire for this expression of art and community in our town.” As the official head of the symphony, the Town provides the practice and performing venues, buys the music, rents equipment and fulfills other requirements. As with other Gilbert-produced events, the goal is to have the symphony orchestra be 100 percent funded via event sponsorships, Merdon said.

Gilbert native wins scholarship at veterinary school
GSN NEWS STAFF
A
Gilbert native and Williams Field High School graduate will share in $542,000 in scholarships at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences – and it couldn’t come at a better time, school officials said. Marisa Litherland, a first-year veterinary student received a Walter Sitlington Scholarship in recognition of her high academic achievements. “These scholarships are critical in helping with the ever- rising cost of obtaining” a doctorate in veterinary medicine,” said Dr. Margi Gilmour, associate dean for academic affairs. OSU’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences is the only veterinary college in Oklahoma and one of 30 veterinary colleges in the United States. The daughter of Dena and Brian Litherland of Gilbert, Marisa graduated from

high school in and graduated from Oklahoma State University last May with a B.S. in animal science and a minor in microbiology. Expressing gratitude for the scholarship, she told GSN that while she has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was a little girl, she has pondered different specialties “As a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian, working with dogs and cats,” she said. “In high school, my aspirations evolved into specializing in equine veterinary medicine. Since then, I have become increasingly interested in zoological medicine; wanting to work with wildlife and conservation organizations.” And while she is open to the possibility that she might change her mind again, it doesn’t really matter as long as she is caring for animals. “No matter what direction I choose to go in, through veterinary medicine, I will have the ability to express my love and compassion for all animals,” Litherland
said, adding: “Today, my goal is to get my doctorate in veterinary medicine, specializing in zoological and small animal medicine. To further my career, I would like to continue with a residency program whose focus is zoological medicine.” Litherland views her intended profession expansively, saying that while it involves “loving animals compassionately,” vets also “contribute and impact society in diverse ways.” “Veterinarians aid in the reduction of animal and zoonotic diseases by giving vaccinations, treating sick animals, and educating the public on proper care of their animals. Upon completion of the DVM program in May 2022, I will be able to share my compassion and knowledge with others to better animal and human health/well-being,” she said. Litherland is married to Matthew Sut-

SRP salutes Gilbert man for horse therapy work GSN NEWS STAFF
A
Gilbert man is one of six SRP Employees chosen to receive the SRP Presidents’ Volunteer Spirit Award in honor of their exemplary dedication to their communities. Jeff Kressaty received the award, which “recognizes employees who are enriching the lives of others and serve as examples of the power of individuals helping those in need of assistance,” the utility said. Kressaty has volunteered countless hours at Angel Acres, which provides disabled and disadvantaged children lifechanging horse therapy. Over the past six years, he has spent his time “caring for the horses and helping children experience the healing joy of riding,” SRP said. He also assists with maintaining the property and recently finished several new picnic tables so families have a comfortable place to gather while the children enjoy the activities. This year, Kressaty will serve as assistant executive director for Angel Acres. Marty Sonnenberg, president of Angel Acres, said Kressaty’s leadership “has helped create positive outcomes for children with autism, cerebral palsy, Down

munity, and eventually lead to a Gilbert Orchestra Series that performs four to six times a year throughout the town. A future venue would be the amphitheater of the Gilbert Regional Park, now under construction. Province, who lives in Chandler, has guest-conducted the Tempe symphony, been a part of the Scottsdale Philharmonic and participated in numerous festivals. He primarily plays percussion, which he studied in college, and also plays piano, saxophone, guitar and banjo. A retired university professor and public-school teacher he currently also performs Valley-wide as a folk singer. With his wide-ranging contacts, it wasn’t difficult for him to put together the 60-member symphony and prepare for a concert seemingly overnight. Province also ensured the players were skilled, talented and professional. “I know a lot of the players in the area, many of our players are from Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale and Tempe. I contacted lots of players I’d worked with in the past. They contacted players they knew. We got many responses, put together the auditions and came up with the orchestra of 60 players,” he said.

Everything played off. Seventeen days after the first rehearsal, they were able to present a concert. Park saw a social media post advertising the auditions and decided to apply. She has played the viola for 25 years, since fourth grade, and was anxious to resume playing. “I love the rich tones of the viola...it’s the unsung hero of an orchestra. It adds texture and middle depth to the sound,” she said. “I’ve played viola most of my life. I’ve taken it with me on every military deployment I’ve been on and it’s allowed me to connect with so many people and bridge cultural divides.” Province has also played for audiences large and small from coast-to-coast in venues from concerts to festivals to political rallies and demonstrations. With his guitars (6- and 12-string), 1960’s folk banjo, and autoharp, he combines traditional folk and topical songs with comedy and current standards into a show for all ages. Just now, he’s happy to focus on Gilbert. “I was very pleased with the way the community showed up,” he said. “We couldn’t have asked for anything better that night.” To audition: mrphfl@aol.com.

Indoor climbing makes it easy and accessible for people to do.

for the first time – a major milestone for the sport. oe erwinski, founder and owner of Mesa’s ocus limbing enter, has gained a wealth of knowledge about competition climbing since he began 26 years ago. efore opening the gym in 201 , erwinski was a rock-climbing route setter and worked for the ames in the . . and Asia. e competed with the . . ational team as a climber, and then progressed to a coaching position. espite having a speciality in competition climbing, erwinski’s motivation for climbing is still the outdoors. “The appeal of the indoors comes from wanting more from the outdoors, erwinski said. ocus is unlike in that it emphasi es bouldering, a form of climbing on smaller rock formations without a rope and harness, but from no more than 20 feet off the ground. The gym attracts climbers more interested in this particular form of climbing, which is what erwinski was hoping to achieve with this more speciali ed gym. “I was tired of the hoeni model of a climbing gym lots of vertical top ropes and a small bouldering area, erwinski said. “I wanted to create a training area where the gym and wall design unites the community, not splitting them into different areas. One climber who speciali es in bouldering is avid aparon, an A sophomore who started rock climbing 12 years ago. aparon climbs at both and ocus, depending on the type of climbing he wants to practice. “I really look for what has the multifaceted activities for me, aparon said. “I need a gym that offers various types of climbing. Although aparon has had e perience climbing outdoors, he feels the appeal of indoor climbing comes from a combination of accessibility and safety. “Indoors, you’re pulling on perfectly formed pieces of plastic that are wellmade with no chance of it breaking, aparon said. “Outside, you always have to worry about rocks breaking, how sharp the rocks are, how risky the actual situation is. aparon also attributed the rise in popularity to the changing nature of the sport as a whole. “It’s a lot more approachable nowadays. The old narrative of climbing was hardcore mountain men trying to overcome these intense rock walls, aparon said. “ ow, you have kids flashing really hard routes. It’s a normal and totally acceptable thing in the sports community now.

Hot-car deaths can reflect a brain malfunction BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ GSN Columnist
S
he was 18 months old, the news stories tell us, the daughter of married parents in their mid-thirties. She perished on a warm April Monday afternoon in a Glendale apartment complex, shut inside the family’s four-door sedan. Left behind, the reporters explain. Forgotten by her family. Exposed to the car’s steadily rising heat “for at least a few hours,” according to Glendale police. If you have lived in Arizona for any length of time, you know that we see stories like this almost annually. Just last year, a Phoenix dad, 44-yearold James Koryor, was convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to three years in prison for the death of his 2-year-
old boy left for hours in a hot car. A key point: While the child’s death was an accident, Koryor was drunk at the time, having swilled at least a bottle of gin. So, what of the parents of the Glendale toddler, cooperating with police at press time and reportedly distraught over the death of their daughter? Do they deserve our compassion? Or do they deserve the cold steel of handcuffs and the inside of a courtroom? My take: Absent extenuating circumstances uncovered by investigators — drinking, a drug haze, willful concealment of evidence — I believe we have witnessed a tragic accident but not a crime. A horrific death like this strikes me not as criminally negligent parenting, but as an unusually tragic malfunction of the brain. It’s the layman’s terms theory best articulated by Dr. David Diamond, a psychological researcher who has spent the last
15 years studying such deaths. Diamond’s latest paper, published in the March issue of Medicine, Science and the Law, uses neuroscience to explain how such failures of prospective memory — the brain’s ability to execute a plan in the future — can happen to otherwise well-intentioned caregivers. As Diamond explains it, factors like stress and sleep deprivation can cause our brains to fail to “remember to remember” key points. So can distractions or acting on “autopilot” during habitual behaviors. Diamond uses neuroscience to explain how competing parts of the brain can allow the basal ganglia — which control habitual action — to override the hippocampus and the frontal and parietal cortex, which allow us to follow through on prospective memories. This brain glitch, Diamond explains, can erase the intention to remove a child from
PROBLEM.
SOLUTION.
a car seat. Diamond has served as an expert witness in several of the more than 400 hot car deaths that have occurred in America over the last 20 years. His opinion: Because the parents lacked the intention to harm their children – the element of mens rea, or “a guilty mind” – they should not be punished as criminals. My version: While our gut reaction may be to loathe parents who fail so catastrophically, we instead should follow our intellect, not our emotions. Again, absent extenuating circumstances, I would not further punish the parents in the sad tale of this dead Glendale toddler. I understand the impulse to see such parents shamed and jailed. But the cell this mother and father live in forever after will be the one shame and guilt create for them.

An East Valley landmark prepares to fade away BY JIM WALSH GSN Staff Writer
B
ob Gomez and his friends will have to break a tradition and start a new one – whether they like it or not. Fellow retirees Jim Lenertz, Ray Zanini, Charlie rieger and Mike ayo find themselves facing the same predicament. What these senior golfers all have in common is that they feel comfortable at A ’s Karsten Golf Course, where they enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly staff and even the challenging course that they praise as a reasonably priced track in great condition. Although the golfers are not big stars who played arsten as A legends – like hil Mickelson, ohn ahm and aul asey – they are sad to see the course, an old friend and adversary, close on ne t unday, May , after a 30-year run. uilt primarily as the home of A ’s well-respected and high achieving men’s and women’s golf teams, arsten also was popular with everyday players. ut they now need to find a new track as A moves forward with its ambitious ovus Innovation Corridor. It’s not as if there aren’t ample courses available – including A ’s new golfing home, the venerable Papago Golf Course in hoeni – but none of them are A Karsten, they say. “The whole feeling here has been super. It’s not a fancy club. It’s where we have a lot of laughter and a lot of fun,’’ said ome , a retired school superintendent. “We’re going to miss it. It’s kind of emotional for all of us.’’ Gomez would play every Tuesday with his friends for at least 12 years. The group was willing to travel, too, to enjoy the comradery of their weekly outings. Gomez lives in Fountain Hills and his friends live in lendale and cottsdale. Lenertz said his group was smart enough to play A arsten from the short tees, making it easier to navigate the humbling series of hazards designed by famous golf

architect ete ye. ye is known for his railroad ties, water ha ards and moguls – all of which bring average golfers to their knees. But that had little to do with why he and his friends kept coming back for years. “The staff, it’s almost become like a family. We’re close by and it’s very local,’’ said Lenert . While there are a lot of golf courses in the ast Valley, many of them are too e pensive for the average golfer, said Charlie Krieger, another member of Lenert ’ foursome. erek rawford, general manager of A arsten and a former member of A ’s golf team, has earned the compliments, along with his twin brother, aryl, who holds the same position at apago. The two courses are managed by OB Sports. Although arsten has a strong identity with A ’s illustrious golf teams, the closure was anticipated and the team has since moved to a state-of-the-art practice facility designed in part by Mickelson, one of the A Tour’s most successful and popular golfers. At apago in east hoeni , “the golf course is kind of a work in progress. The clubhouse is spectacular,’’ rawford said, adding that the practice facilities are a significant upgrade over A arsten’s. ven A arsten’s name honors an important figure in Ari ona’s rich golf heritage – arsten olheim, the founder of hoeni ’s
PING Golf. The late Karsten and Louise Solheim, his wife, donated $2 million to help fund the course’s construction. They weren’t alone, with 0 mostly influential people donating anywhere from 00 to millions toward the project, said Mike onner, senior vice president of operations for O ports, which manages more than 400 courses nationwide. “I would tell you it turned out as it was planned, to serve the golf teams and the golf community,’’ onner said. “It became very much a family.’’ Beyond PING, still a prestigious name in the golf world, the donors included A , which donated 100 acres the late Maurice Tanner of The Tanner Companies, who donated 20 acres and the late usty Lyon of Westcor, the shopping mall developers. The course’s opening was during the halcyon days of golf in Ari ona, from about 1988-2006, before the recession decimated the sport, Conner said. The boosters work paid off handsomely almost right away. The “ ecade of the evils,’’ a 10-year run of championships, started the year after A arsten opened in 1990, with si women’s championships and two men’s championships. The public embraced the links style course as well, despite its difficulty. rawford estimates A arsten has logged more than one million rounds of public golf
during its 30-year lifetime. Between them, the Crawford twins managed A arsten for about 16 years. erek rawford’s approach to the course’s closure was simple, to continue keeping the course in top condition right until the day it closes. “It’s very important that we go out on a high note,’’ rawford said. “We have a job to do through May , he added. “It hasn’t changed since I came on board or when aryl was here. I want it to be remembered from a golf condition standpoint. It was in very nice condition and we treated people the way they e pected to be treated.’’ e said a statute of legendary A player eather arr, who was considered an up and comer on the Ladies rofessional olf Tour, was moved from A arsten to apago so that her memory could live on with the A golf program. arr waged a courageous, 4 -year battle against breast cancer before she died in 1993. She was only 28 years old. ut rawford said no decision has been made on what to do with the rest of the memorabilia at the restaurant, where legendary A football coach rank ush was often seen having lunch before his death in 2017. Although closing arsten is painful for some, A considers it an opportunity to further develop the Novus Innovation Corridor, along Rio Salado between Rural Road and niversity rive. A new Athletic Village, where holes 1-4 are now located, will include a track and field facility, multi-purpose fields for intramural sports and a tennis facility. The site of the present tennis facility on nearby ural Road is slated for apartments. etails on how the rest of the course will be redeveloped are less clear, but the corridor represents a 0-acre public-private partnership e pected to eventually include nearly 10 million square feet of office space, apartments, hospitality and retail. Overall, A projects creation of 24,000 jobs and a 4.6 billion in economic impact.

Audience has role in Children’s Choir concert BY COLLEEN SPARKS GET OUT Staff
T
he audience will get in the driver’s seat at an unusual concert where children will sing different genres. The Chandler Children’s Choir will perform the “Choose Your Own Concert Adventure” concert at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 4 at Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave. The concert is modeled after the children’s books in which readers decide at certain points in stories what action the main character will take. Readers’ choices lead to different twists and turns in the plot and audience members’ decisions will prompt the choir to sing different songs in the concert.
“What we’re doing is the audience is going to be the character and we’ll have a voiceover like reading the book,” said Aimee Stewart, artistic director and cofounder of Chandler Children’s Choir. “I think they’ll be excited to be involved in the story,” she added. “We need their (audience) engagement, we need their input. It’s going to be a very different format.” The choir will start by singing “When You Wish Upon A Star,” and then the audience’s choices will dictate which songs they perform after that. The plot will be about a character longing for adventure the night before their birthday. If the audience chooses a particular gift it will lead to a trip to Spain while another choice would lead to Ireland. For example, the choir will sing a Spanish song if the audience picks Spain and an Irish jig if the public selected Ireland. “We have folk songs, lots of humorous songs,” Stewart said. She added that the songs will represent different countries and Harmony Geren, left, and Kate Xie put their heart and soul into it.
Jonathan Ulep awaits the conductor’s next instruction.

time periods. Stewart said the idea for the chooseyour-own-concert-adventure theme came from Adam Stich, director of choral music at Scottsdale Community College, which performed with that audience engagement for its choir and orchestra. “I thought that would be so fun for a children’s choir to try,” she said. Chandler Children’s Choir is partnering with JesterZ Improv Comedy in Mesa for the concert. JesterZ director Jef Rawls will be the narrator and guide during the show. The concert will have four possible

endings. depending on the choices the audience makes. All the different choirs within Chandler Children’s Choir will perform. They will all sing together in some numbers while other songs will be performed by smaller groups. The children and teens in the choir range from ages 6 to 16, with the youngest in the Prelude Choir and the oldest, most advanced in the Cantus Choir. About 160 youths will perform in the concert.
