Council OKs huge Heritage Square development BY CECILIA CHAN GSN Managing Editor
G
ilbert will sell a 9-acre site downtown for a minimum $5.3 million to a developer who proposes to build offices, a five-story hotel, multi-family housing and two multi-level parking garages. The land sits behind a Burger King in the Heritage District and served as a temporary downtown parking lot until Hearne Plaza Garage opened in March. “We’re super excited to be here,” said Charles Huellmantel, representing the developer, at the council meeting May 16.
“One of the things that excites us about working with the town of Gilbert is they worked hard for the vision of downtown,” he said. “It’s cohesive, it’s long-range, it’s an opportunity to really fit in with what the town has already done and to really expand on that.” Heritage North Partners, LLC, also will pay an additional $350,000 at closing, which the town will used for improvements to the Heritage District, according to the agreement approved unanimously last week by Town Council. The land deal is expected to close on Feb. 4, 2020, according to staff. The town is expected
to go through a process to determine a fair market value of the land, with a minimum $5.3 million selling price. Phoenix-based Heritage North will fund the entire 500,000-square-foot project, located south of Juniper Avenue near Gilbert Road and the Western Canal. The conceptual plan is to include 100,000-square-feet of Class A office space, 25,000-square-feet of retail, a 150-room or 75,000-square-foot boutique hotel and 250 units or 302,000 square feet of multifamily residences.

P
ickleball fever has hit Gilbert. Spurred by a resident’s request and a nationwide steady growth of the court sport, the Parks and Recreation Board is looking to add more courts in town. “I’m passionate about this,” Vice Chairman Robert Ferron said. “The feedback I get is there’s not enough tennis courts and not enough pickleball courts.” Pickleball uses paddles, Wiffle-like balls and a net, sort of like a scaled-down version of tennis. Analyst Jennika Horta told the board last week there were no dedicated pickleball courts in Gilbert and players now share an indoor basketball court at Freestone Recreation Center. Gilbert is the exception when it comes to dedicated pickleball courts in the region, as Mesa and Chandler have opened

Gilbert is doing for its downtown. “The developer has a history of some very excellent projects.” Heritage North Partners was one of nine responders when Gilbert issued a request of qualifications in March 2018 for the purchase and development of the 9.1acre property called the North Anchor of the Heritage District. The town eventually whittled the list down and chose Heritage North Partners. The 9-acre site is identified as one of
Two garages with a minimum of five floors each to provide parking for office, retail, hotel and the multi-family residence uses also are called for in the project. The garages are expected to provide a total of 1,700 parking spaces, according to Dan Henderson, Economic Development director. The developer also will build a 15,000-square-foot park called The Commons - which Gilbert can use for public events - construct a car-free paseo for pedestrians and bicyclists and improve the Western Powerline Trail with no less than $150,000 in public art, according to Henderson. The project will be built in one phase with construction expected to begin in late June 2020 and finished by the fourth quarter of 2021. The 9.1-acre site is being developed with a variety of uses outlined in the Heritage District Redevelopment Plan, which was updated last year. Since its adoption in 1991, the plan has guided the bulk of development in downtown. Doralise Machado Liddell, who lives in the Heritage District, voiced concerns with the project. “I feel this goes against the redevelopment plan,” she said. “Postpone this, reevaluate it. Let the public see it and digest it.” She said the plan doesn’t call for multi-family housing on that site. She also said The Commons should be built for taxpayers’ use but instead it’s an amenity owned by the developer for the multi-family units. She said that under the agreement, the developer after 10 years can Though a specific look for the new Heritage Square development has yet to be designed, these renderings show that the do whatever it wants and the developer has in mind for the 9.1 acres.

Chandler new school plan to impact Gilbert BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE GSN Staff Writer
I
n a move that will impact some Gilbert families, the Chandler Unified School District administration is recommending a three-tiered plan to the school board that includes resetting some elementary school boundaries, building a new elementary school and creating a second gifted academy. Disproportionate student distribution prompted the recommendation after several of the district’s elementary schools on the district’s east side – including a part of western Gilbert – were approaching capacity. Haley, Patterson and Weinberg elementary schools are all situated along the Val Vista Corridor, an area south of Loop 202 that has recently seen large road expansion projects and new home developments and includes part of Gilbert. Enrollment rates have peaked and are expected to continue rising by approximately 1,000 students over the next eight years. Here is a look at the details.
Elementary #31
A new elementary school, currently dubbed Elementary #31, would accommodate the students, administration and staff currently located at Weinberg Elementary. If the recommendation is approved, the shift will take place before 2020-21 school year begins. Funding could come from a potential $29.3 million bond election. On June 12, the board is scheduled to discuss the bond and whether to hold the election this year. Of the projected total, $70 million would be set aside to purchase the land for an elementary school and potentially a high school that would not be built in the near future. It also would cover construction costs for both facilities. “The bond will be critical to do this,” said CUSD Chief Financial Officer Lana Berry. The election could also cover other district expenses, including; safety measures, technology, furniture and equipment, transportation, non-instructional renovations and upgrades and energy management. Part of the recommendation for the new school allows current Weinberg students to be highly involved in developing its culture. Students will lend a hand in

deciding on school colors and mascot, and will also help create the school song. Gifted academy CUSD currently has 4,000 total students who are eligible for gifted learning services but due to limited resources and space, only 1,000 are enrolled in them. Because of the vacancy at Weinberg Elementary after the new school is built, the district will have a facility primed for a new gifted academy, called Weinberg Gifted Academy. The academy will serve students on the district’s east side who are currently utilizing satellite gifted learning sites throughout CUSD. The addition of the academy will let the district offer a choice through open enrollment of attending either site. CUSD will also provide dual busing through depot sites for both academies if needed. The recommendation also allows the grandfathering of 2018-19 and 2019-20 enrollments at gifted satellites through the 2024-25 school year, so current students could pick between the two academies. “If both gifted academies are at capac-
ity, an optional gifted satellite may be considered at an elementary site that has space to accommodate those students,” said Frank Narducci, the assistant superintendent for elementary instruction. Families and stake holders residing in communities that could be impacted if the recommendation is approved can expect to receive a formal letter in the coming week. The board will vote on this recommendation May 22.
Boundary changes
A team of administrators and demographers recommended three school boundary shifts to ease overcrowding. Students and families residing in the one-mile block surrounded by Queen Creek, Ocotillo, Gilbert and Cooper roads would be repositioned from Haley Elementary to Ryan Elementary. The second shift redirects the eastern half mile of vacant land bordered by Ocotillo, Lindsay and Chandler Heights roads as well as Val Vista Drive from Ryan Elementary to Weinberg. Students in a square mile bordered by
Hunt, Riggs, Recker and Higley Roads will be moved from Patterson Elementary to Riggs Elementary. If approved by the board at its May 22 meeting, the boundary changes will go into effect in 2020-2021. Currently enrolled students and students enrolled in the 2019-20 school year will have the option to be grandfathered into Haley Elementary or Patterson Elementary through the 2025-26 school year. Students new to the area will be enrolled at their boundary school, unless choice school options are utilized. If capacity allows, open enrollment will continue to be an option. Narducci added that many parents have expressed concerns the shift is fastapproaching, but he offered a reassurance to them. “We have never created boundaries and just created no options for families that wanted to continue their enrollments at the schools where the current boundaries are,” he said.

Schools chief, students make new plea for counselors BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services
A
student-led group that tried to get lawmakers to enact gun control last year is refocusing on something more attainable. Jordan Harb, a leader of the March for Our Lives movement, said Monday his organization remains convinced that Arizona needs to crack down both on who has access to weapons as well as dealing with the kind of guns that can fire off many rounds and kill and maim lots of students. “I wouldn’t say that we have softened, but rather changed our focus on something that’s actually able to be done,’’ he said. Harb, a Mesa High School student, said the gun-control measures his group pushed last year — which the Republicancontrolled Legislature did not enact are “still on our policy agenda.’’ What that leaves for the moment are specific and he believes immediate needs, like the lack of guidance counselors and social workers on campus as well as dealing with issues of bullying and abuse. Harb’s comments came as Kathy Hoffman, the state superintendent of public

instruction, announced she was creating a School Safety Task Force to come up with ideas to keep students safer. The plan is modeled on legislation crafted by Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, and Rep. Daniel Hernandez, D-Tucson, which would have directed both Hoffman’s agency and local school boards to come up with plans to deal with students with mental health problems who may be capable of killing or injuring their classmates. McGee’s bill got
out of the Senate but was never heard in the House; the Hernandez version cleared two House committees only to be quashed when Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, refused to hear it in the House Rules Committee which he chairs. Hoffman figures she has the power to bring together diverse interests, with or without legislative authorization, to at least determine what are the problems and the needs and ways that school boards can adopt policies to prevent violence. Brophy McGee said some of that can be addressed with school design, things like limiting the number of entrances where strangers can get onto campus or into a building. “But today, more than ever, beyond brick-and-mortar decisions, there are other factors, things that can’t be seen at first glance but can be felt when one walks onto a school campus,’’ she said. “It’s the school culture which must be built with as much care as the school itself,’’ Brophy McGee continued. “How do we build a positive school culture that strongly deals with such issues as bullying

Davis, DDS, FAGD and the team at Mesa Dental strive to give their patients not only a beautiful, confident smile, but a healthy one.

Cosmetic Dentistry – like implants and dentures may help you get the smile you’ve always wanted, but it’s the preventative maintenance that helps you keep it.

esting, it was fun at times and hard at other times,” Mariah said. She volunteered for PAWS, a nonprofit organization, which unites companion animals with loving families and cares for injured and orphaned wild animals. She said she trained many dogs and helped keep them calm. Mariah also teaches religious education to first-graders through Saint Mary Magdalene Roman Catholic Church in Gilbert. She said AP physics was her favorite subject at Seton. “I love physics,” Mariah said. “I love the challenge of it.” She said the people at Seton were the highlight of her time in high school. “I just love the sense of community, being able to know every single person,” Mariah said. “I think we all know each other pretty well.” She said she also loved the homecoming dance. “I like the music and the way we all gather together,” Mariah said. She also urged incoming freshmen to keep things in perspective. “Do not stress too much,” Mariah said. “Know your limits.”

Gilbert teen got to give her classmates a formal sendoff as she gave the invocation for Seton Catholic Preparatory’s commencement exercises last week. Mariah McNally, 17, was the graduating class speaker at the ceremony, held May 14 at Mesa Arts Center to honor the 135 seniors. Of the graduates, 79 received 209 scholarships from 79 different colleges and universities valued at more than $2.9 million. While many students earned high grades, demonstrated success in sports and academic competitions and made the most of their time in high school taking part in leadership and social activities, three seniors were chosen for the coveted titles of valedictorian, salutatorian and speaker. To be eligible for one of those positions, seniors had to have attended Seton for at least three years. They also needed to be in good standing in the National Honor Society, have demonstrated three years of actively participating in additional Setonsponsored activities and earned a rank among the top 10 students with the rank determined after seven semesters. The students also had to have consistently shown the Seton Catholic Preparatory values of faith, determination, courage and love. Mariah took part in many extracurricular activities at Seton, including Academic Decathlon, National Honor Society, National Math Honor Society, National French Honor Society, the Kairos Retreat Leadership Team and the Sentinel Ambassador Society. She also was vice-president of the National Honor Society, president of the National Math Honor Society, secretary of the House Leadership Executive Council and a senior house leader for the House of St. Augustine. Seton has a “house system,” a studentled program that divides every grade level into groups that meet weekly for bonding, community service, mentorship and competition. Mariah is going to attend Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University in the fall, where she plans to study biomedical engineering. She said she would like to one day work at a company building neurological tools for surgery. Serving as a House leader was “inter-

The trend also is catching on in Gilbert Public Schools District, which not only is creating dual-purpose courts for tennis and pickleball, but also is starting to teach it in some high schools, Manolis said. When Phoenix opened the Pecos Park courts, which are open to anyone from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, Jack Thomas, president of the U.S.A. Pickleball Association
building design and even putting more police on campus ignores ways of preventing violence in the first place. “Often the threat is not outside the school gates but in the classroom, sitting next to me,’’ he said. And then there’s the issue of teens who take their own lives. “Armed guards can sometimes be useful when the first shots are fired,’’ Harb said. “But we often forget that counselors and support systems and other preventative measures to keep violence from happening in the first place.’’ That question of the lack of counselors told a crowd at the ribbon cutting that the East Valley had become “a destination place for pickleball players everywhere.” Association Executive Director Justin Maloof told the crowd that he was on his way to China at the invitation of the Chinese government to introduce people there to the game. He said membership in his organization has grown 480 percent in the last five years. “There are 94 pickleball locations — not courts — opening up a month,” he said.
got increased attention earlier this month with a report by the American School Counselor Association that, on average, there is one counselor for every 905 students in Arizona public schools. That’s nearly twice the national average. Gov. Doug Ducey has proposed funding for an additional 224 counselors to be hired during the next two years. That, however, would bring it down to just one counselor for every 766 students. Still, Brophy McGee said her colleagues cannot ignore the fact that the incidents on campuses across the nation involve guns.

“At the end of the day, we’ve got to figure out how to keep guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people, whether they’re students or whether there were adults,’’ she said. Last year, Ducey proposed allowing judges to issue orders to take weapons from people who are considered dangerous. Even with that change the measure could not get a hearing in the House. Ducey made a new plea for his plan this year but could not even get it introduced into legislation.

Gilbert triplets are ready to make their mark BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI GSN Staff Writer
T
riplets Claire, Grant and Anders Moen of Gilbert have spent a lifetime together. Now that they’ve graduated from ASU’s Barrett, the Honors College, West Campus in Glendale, their lives will change. Claire and Grant are looking into medical schools, while Anders has applied to teach English in Japan and wants to further study international policy. He longs to work for the State Department. “It’s going to be very weird,” Grant said about being apart. “There’s a good chance we’ll be living different places and going to different schools. Anders and I are preparing for grad school right now. We’ll be living together for a little while longer. “I compare it to what our experience was graduating high school. We moved to a different state. It was a brand-new experience. There’s a good chance my brother and I won’t be living in the same place. That’ll be interesting.” The Moen triplets moved from Benton, Arkansas, in 2015 to attend ASU with the support of scholarships, and because their father had a job opportunity here. Each received a New American University Scholarship, along with a slew of other scholarships between them, including a private business scholarship for Anders, an SRP scholarship for

Claire and a National Merit Scholarship for Grant. “It was nice having people we knew, instead of going on this new adventure
on our own,” Claire said. “I had a support system. Grant and I had three classes together, so I had somebody to study with. Throughout the years, we’ve had our
own journeys in college. “It’s really exciting to grow as individu-
school but Thea has continued to work with the teachers on making data-informed decisions to guide instruction,” he continued, adding: “Thea and her staff have been working on quality common formative assessments. Thea is currently mentoring another principal and is highly thought of by her staff, community and colleagues.” Awardees undergo a rigorous five-step evaluation that involves a superintendent nomination, teacher/staff survey, video interview, site visit and data review. Hansen received her award during a surprise presentation
at the school. She was selected for her ability to: “actively engage staff, parents and community members in developing an effective school culture” and to “utilize data to guide instruction and decisions regarding staff development,” the county superintendent said, adding that Hansen has demonstrated “the ability to successfully develop and inspire others.”

UA Phoenix is Claire’s top choice for medical school so she can stick around town. She has established a relationship with Banner Thunderbird Hospital, as she volunteered there. “I’ve been passionate about the medical field since I was little,” she said. “I was a weird kid.

– Claire Moen place. It was a safe and supportive environment for us. It was a big transition, going from a very small school in southern Arkansas to one of the largest colleges. ASU West was small enough that it wasn’t going to be overwhelming.” Anders adds, “ASU made the choice for us. The Barrett staff at ASU was very helpful and very outgoing in trying to recruit us. They really sold their school well. “The Barrett staff is all very impressive. The professor-to-student radio is very low, which is really nice. It makes things more personal with professors. You get to know them a lot better.” Claire, who has experience as a medical scribe for cardiologists and oncologists, earned a bachelor’s degree with double majors in biology and psychology. Grant obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in political science. Anders graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science. The 22-year-old triplets were active in extracurricular projects as well. Claire researched the effects of climate on black widow spiders in an ASU lab, and helped plan student events as a member of the ASU West Program and Activities Board. Grant researched a compound called Bexarotene and its possible uses in developing drugs to treat breast cancer. He also worked on student events and activities with the Program and Activities Board. Anders interned with the Peace Corps in Washington, D.C., and studied Japanese.

I’ve had the most experience in that. I had an internship where I worked for Desert Grove Family Medical Center in Tempe for a summer. Their parents, Todd and Karin Moen of Gilbert, say their children have inspired them. “They have a unique bond being triplets,” Todd said. “It’s a neat thing watching them grow up.” For Karin, graduation made her reminisce about the life of the triplets, who are athletes, as well. “For Claire, I mentioned to her she would be outside during recess, in second grade or earlier, reading books,” Karin said. “Early on, they all had a love of reading and learning. We made that a focal point of how we raised them. Seeing where they’re at now is amazing. It’s been a part of who they are since they were young. They have that interest and desire to always be learning.” The Moen triplets are smart and have accomplished a lot in their 22 years, Karin said. “They’re good people with good hearts,” she said. “They’re looking to do big things and take advantage of the abilities they have. That’s something we’re most proud of.” Anders, too, has high hopes for his siblings and himself. “I know they’re (Claire and Grant) going to do great things and we’ll, of course, meet up often in the future,” Anders said. ”

She does that as the president of the American Harp Society’s Arizona chapter. “I’m interested in building up the harp community here, too.” Knauer is a longtime, multifaceted musician. Her father began teaching her piano at age 5 in Cortlandt Manor, New York. It took until she was 12 to practice without being bribed by her family. She began studying flute at 8, and then the harp at 16.

“I have been playing piano and flute all my life,” she said. “My piano background helped me take off with the harp.” A Realtor for Twins & Co. Realty, Knauer said with the harp it was love at first sight. “It’s this weird instrument,” said Knauer, who earned a Master of Music in harp performance at Temple University in 2014. “I became obsessed with it. It’s a pain to move. It’s expensive. There’s every reason in the book why you shouldn’t play it. “But you just kind of fall in love with it. I like that I could play it solo, too. The harp can act like a piano.” In 2016, Knauer moved to Scottsdale with her boyfriend and collie mix dog, Abby. At Temple University, she was an academic intern under the guidance of Elizabeth Hainen, the Philadelphia Or-
chestra’s principal harpist. While attending Temple University she was invited to perform with Curtis Institute’s Symphony Orchestra performing works from Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Now, 20 years after her first piano lessons, she is continuing to make music relevant. Knauer plays the harp at weddings, restaurants and concert halls. She also does pop/covers concerts at places like Garage East in Gilbert. “I consider my harp to be my side project,” she said. “I play wedding. That’s really grown since being out here. I teach about 10 students weekly in harp and piano lessons.” There are more opportunities to play the harp now, then say, a few years ago. She suggests those who are interested in the harp visit the Phoenix Harp Center at 2700 N. Central Avenue, Suite LL150,
Phoenix, or call 602-341-4277. “Living in the city gives you more opportunities to play the harp,” she said. Knauer said it’s hard not to fall in love with the harp. It’s more than an instrument; it’s a journey. “My harp is the child,” she said. “I can’t leave it in the car too long. There are restrictions where I can take it. It dictates the kind of house I can live in. I make sacrifices for it. It’s a high-maintenance instrument.”

Real Estate Guide Sellers can rejoice: Valley housing market stays strong BY PAUL MARYNIAK GSN Executive Editor
A
ny gloom that prospective home sellers might have been experiencing late last year should be gone by now, judging by the latest word from one of the region’s major housing market analysts. The Cromford report said the Valley-wide market is perking up with surprising strength — and turning 2019 into a big year for home sellers. Citing a “massive number of homes closed” in April that exceeded April 2018 by nearly 500 homes – a 5.3 percent in-
crease — the Cromford Report stated: "This is a significant sign that the recovery in demand is growing in strength and the first time we have seen year-overyear sales growth since August 2018. “As a result, the annual sales rate rose between March and April 2019. Another significant signal of market health,” it added. Realtor.com’s latest housing market report last week somewhat supported that observation on a national scale, noting that “Despite a real estate slowdown gripping the nation, this year’s housing

The sky isn’t falling – and neither are home prices BY MINDY JONES NEVAREZ GSN Guest Writer
A
s we headed into the 2019 real estate market, the buzz words flying around were “shift” and “shifting market.” After nearly three years of a strong sellers’ market, a shift should be expected. The question is how big of a shift is it or will it be, when will it happen, and how quickly — so that buyers and sellers know best how to capitalize on it. We braced sellers for buyers who were going to be more critical during the inspection period, concerns with appraisals and saw cancellation rates of contracts soar representing the inability of buyers and sellers to come together during the shifting market. They say that a buyer is the first person to see a shifting market coming and the sellers are the last ones, so you can imagine the disconnect that can cause at the negotiation table. Buyers were willing to pay top dollar based on the increase in home values over the last three years but wanted the homes to be in new or like-
new condition. Sellers got frustrated by being compared to newer inventory, a particularly hard hit for much of Gilbert as a plethora of new housing options entered the picture in 2018 and 2019 giving buyers plenty to compare their condition to. Homes were still appreciating and the ones in good condition were still selling quickly and with multiple offers but with cancellations and price reductions running high, there were plenty of hurdles to cross before the sign came out of the yard. We started to compare the 2019 market to the 2016 market in Gilbert — one that was healthy and on the upswing but without as much of the frenzy or expectation consumers had built up over the last few years about how quickly a home should be sold or how little negotiations needed to occur to come together. You had a house in Morrison Ranch that you had remodeled and you wanted to sell it? Great. Get your Realtor’s sign in the yard and with good marketing and right pricing, it would be sold with multiple offers in the first day. Purchased a starter home within walking distance to Downtown Gilbert a couple
of years ago and have since gotten hitched and have a baby on the way? No problem—your Realtor’s professional photos and video would have you sold AND give you enough down payment for your new house in no time even though you never made any improvements except the new paint you did in the living room. We predicted that while 2019 would continue to be a profitable year for sellers, it may also allow give buyer’s a bit more of an advantage than they’d seen in several years. With increasing inventory and decreasing demand, we anticipated the sellers market shifting into a very healthy balanced market where there was less of a swing in favor of either party, the playing field would be leveled a bit and buyers would have a little easier time finding inventory without having to make a line around the block for the one house in Power Ranch that was available under $300K. But then something happened. Well, a few things happened actually, and we started to see the numbers paint a very different story than we had expected. The homes under contract went up in
March and again in April and for the first time in 2019, home sales exceeded their year over year month by 5.3 percent. Interest rates declined and available homes followed suit declining month over month signaling the early signs of a recovery from a very short lived slump. The majority of the major metropolitan cities in the Valley including Gilbert inched deeper into a sellers market instead of slowly backing out of one and with the homes under contract nearly matching up to the numbers we posted in May 2018, we expect to see more of the same as we close out this month. The key takeaway is that buyers who’ve been waiting for prices to fall might want to take advantage of summer incentives at new home communities and jump on that resale home in the perfect neighborhood, even if it needs a little work. The sky isn’t falling and neither are the prices. -Mindy Jones Nevarez, a Realtor and owner of the Amy Jones Group at Keller Williams Integrity First serving Gilbert, can be reached at 602-451-4975, Mindy@AmyJonesGroup. com or AmyJonesGroup.com
tion of Realtors’ leadership development program recently at its headquarters in Chandler. They met every week from January to early April to learn about building their communities and becoming better leaders and Realtors. Interested candidates have to apply and undergo an extensive review process. They must have been a SEVRAR member for the past 18 months in good standing and have been a Realtor for at
least that amount of time. At SEVRAR’s office on East Northrop Boulevard in Chandler, they polished their public speaking skills and tackled group projects. They also prepared, packaged and gathered stress balls, inspirational bookmarks, crossword puzzles, tumblers and other items to fill boxes with gifts and delivered them to veterans at the Arizona State Veteran Home – Phoenix. Sarah Lossing, a Realtor with Platinum
Living Realty, enjoyed gaining leadership skills and getting to know other Realtors in the program. “I see a lot of avenues to participate in our community and have been in different charitable organizations but just never had that official training in leadership,” the four-year Realtor said. “One of the biggest things is being able to communicate with people,” she added.

market is expected to be busier than Realtor.com economists originally predicted late last year. That means more home sales – and higher prices – are on the way.” The website said lower mortgage rates were making homes more affordable for buyers – even though home prices are still predicted to rise. “The economic team expected rates to climb to 5.5 percent in 2019, but instead they have hovered around 4 percent.” Realtor.com said. “Economists say rates are now likely to rise a little to 4.5 percent, still well below what buyers were dreading.” But the Phoenix market apparently is outperforming the national trend – likely the result of a steady influx of new residents that has made Maricopa County the fasted growing county in the country. Even with that population increase, the Cromford Report said, “Nobody would have predicted this strong a recovery back in January.” “Last month we saw strong growth in listings under contract,” it said. “This month we see strong growth in closed listings. This is why listings under contract is such an important number – it gives us early warnings of a change in the market. On this occasion, the change is strongly
positive for sellers.“ The Cromford Report and Realtor.com agree on the major driving factor what each sees on a national and local level. – namely, lower-than-expected interest rates. “New listings have been flowing a little more freely since March - we know sellers get encouraged by lower interest rates as well as buyers,” the Cromford Report said. But slowpokes may be in for a disappointment, it cautioned, noting, “the new higher level of demand is making short work of the extra supply” of homes. “Buyers waiting because they thought prices would fall have been left in the dust,” it added. “The market continues to strengthen and the likelihood of falling prices in the near term is minimal. We have extremely low levels of distress,
chronic low supply and the best buyers can hope for is that the appreciation rate will trend lower. We think that is a reasonable expectation, but it shows no sign of turning negative.” “All in all, the market is more vibrant now than almost anyone expected it to be,” the Cromford Report said. “This is good news for sellers, agents, title companies, lenders and developers. If interest rates start to rise again, then we may see another mild slowdown, like we experience from September 2018 to February 2019, but at the moment the market engine is firing on all cylinders once more.” The assessment stands in sharp contrast to what’s going on nationally, judging by Realtor.com’s latest report. “It’s still going to be a lukewarm year for the housing market,” said Danielle Hale, the website’s chief economist. “We’re going to see higher prices and slightly higher home sales than we expected. But home sales are still going to decline slightly as a result of the housing slowdown. There’s a gap between what sellers are looking for and buyers are hoping to pay.” But even amid its gloomy assessment, Realtor.com sees no basic tilt in the market that favors buyers when it comes to price.
“The downside for buyers – and upside for sellers – is that prices are expected to rise more than Hale’s team originally forecast,” it said. "That’s because the swelling ranks of buyers motivated by those lower mortgage rates will increase demand – and therefore prices. Meanwhile, Realtor.com’s economists predict the number of home sales will almost hold steady, dipping just three tenths of one percent. Originally, they predicted sales would fall by 2 percent. “The market has slowed down from previous years because sellers, seeing an end to the good days of high prices, rushed to put their homes on the market,” the website said. “But this happened at the same time that many buyers backed off because of those same high prices. The glut in supply led to lower price growth and fewer home sales.” Hale also noted that local markets could be acting distinctly differently from the composite national picture. “In some markets there’s still not enough housing available, so buyers are likely to find a competitive market,” she said. “But in some markets prices are so high that buyers are choosing to be patient and sit on the sidelines.”

“We learned about a lot of different personality traits.” She said she is glad the group decided to help patients in the veterans home as her father is a Korean War veteran. The community project was also close to the hearts of three leadership program students who had served in the military — Bruce Bouldin, Dave Rosenfeld and Angela Tauscher. Tauscher of Queen Creek, a Realtor at West USA Realty’s Chandler office, served in the Army Reserve for six years and said she is glad the boxes were donated to the skilled-nursing care center that serves Arizona veterans and their spouses as the family members of military members sacrifice a lot. “I think my family deserves more of a thank you than I do,” Tauscher said. “The fact that this community project is not just about the vets, it’s about the veterans and their families, for me is a big deal. It’s hard on the families.” A married mother of a 19-year-old daughter, Justice; a 16-year-old son, Payton; and a 15-year-old son, Ethan; she is in her third year as a Realtor and previously owned a landscaping business.

for me are how we’re all in the same industry but we think so differently,” Tauscher said. “There’s a thousand different ways a transaction can be run. Sometimes being in real estate can be a lonely field.” Rosenfeld, of Gilbert, a Realtor with RE/MAX Alliance Group, retired from the Army after 22 years. He is in his second year as a Realtor and had also sold tactical equipment to the military and federal government before getting into the real estate industry. The former paratrooper Rosenfeld said it was good being surrounded by others who wanted to be “achievers” in the leadership program. “They all want to better help their clients,” he said. “The greatest takeaway here is we are all so different. I have to be cognizant that we’re all leaders.” Rosenfeld is president of his homeowners association and vice-chairman of SEVRAR’s Community Outreach Committee. He said the leadership program members had different ideas about what organization to help and he is glad someone recommended helping veterans.

Bouldin said the leadership program helped him. “It has given me some contacts that I probably wouldn’t have had,” he said. “It’s given me insight to things that happen behind the scenes. I think that sometimes to get ahead, you have to stop what you’re doing and help those around you. It just can’t all be about you. In management you have to step back and become more humble.”

Gateway Pointe girls heading to national Geochallenge
F
our fifth grade girls from Gateway Pointe Elementary School in Higley Unified are heading to the nation’s capital next week to compete against 15 other schools in the National Geographic Society’s GeoChallenge. Led by a drive for science and teamwork, Mykah Hancock, Cecelia Udall, Amelia Ray and Anabelle Reynoso won the regional title to qualify for the national showdown. The GeoChallenge presented a “realworld problem” to students in fifth through eighth grade and asked them to present a possible solution. The Gateway Pointe students created an idea for a device that could gather plastics from the Colorado River. The project followed this year’s theme, “Tackling Plastic,” and the need to clear pollution from waterways. “The hardest part was planning and researching. We did research and planning the first few months,” Amelia said. Added Mykah: “One of the hardest parts was determining where the plastic would go. We decided to give it to a shoe company that makes shoes from plastic.”
to see their ideas. “There were cool things there that every team did,” she said. “They were all encouraging and just having fun. It seemed more welcoming.” The three Gateway Pointe teams are part of the school’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Club, led by teacher JasLynn Adkins. It was her second year with the team. “Last year, we did small activities that were fun, but were Gateway Pointe Elementary fifth graders preparing to head to the not connected.

But she was also excited
that the girls had taken first place. The girls are now working hard to prepare for the national competition,” she said. In its 31st year, the National Geographic GeoBee challenges student knowledge of geography, cultures, physical features, history and earth science. Nearly 10,000 students nationwide participate in the ealy rounds of the competition. The school champion then takes a proctored qualifying test, and the top100-ranked students in each state qualify to represent their school at the state competition. Organizers said the students “gain skills in research and storytelling, collaboration, videography, innovative design and mapmaking.” The National Geographic Society was formed in 1888 with the goal of “pushing the boundaries of exploration, investing in bold people and transformative ideas to increase understanding of our world and generate solutions for a healthy, more sustainable future for generations to come. Our ultimate vision: a planet in balance.” Information: nationalgeographic.org.

Spencer’s surprises 3 lucky customers BY KATIE SAWYER GSN Staff Writer
T
hree lucky Spencer’s TV & Appliances shoppers were gifted with a major prize at the store’s original location in Mesa last week. Rob Gaschler, Fred and Deanne Dresser and Kim Brontsema each won $10,000 to spend how they like in the store as a reward for being the 5 millionth customers. Any shopper that purchased an item at Spencer’s qualified, but customers could also enter online or in person. General Manager Clifton Orlandi said the winners were chosen through a lottery system, and could choose from anything in the store, except, “this washer dryer, they can’t have that,” he laughed, pointing at a vintage, bright yellow Maytag washer/dryer circa 1970s. Mesa native Rob Gaschler was getting gas when he received the call from Spencer’s telling him he won. The new homeowner had just purchased a washer/ dryer at the beginning of March, and was ecstatic to hear about his good fortune. “It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever won!” He said excitedly. “The only other thing I’ve ever won was an iPod.” He plans to buy a refrigerator, and has his eye on the modern, double-Frenchdoor style. For Gaschler, the choice to support a small business was simple. “I used to buy from the big-name stores, (but) realized Spencer’s had better deals and better customer service, and it’s a long-time local business. I like supporting that,” he said. As for what will happen to his current appliances, Gaschler hopes to share his win with his mom by giving them to her. He said his kitchen “has basic appliances — they’re new, but they’re basic. I’ll probably put those in my mom’s house because she needs new appliances,” he said. Fred and Deanne Dresser moved to Goodyear a little over four years ago, and knew where to go for appliances when they found themselves in the market for a refrigerator. “We got treated right in the store and
Deanne and Fred Dresser were among the three lucky recipients who received a $10,000 in-store credit from Spencer’s TV and Appliances last week as the store marked its 5 millionth customer. Instead of just one $10K award, Spencer’s gave out three, (Pablo Robles/GSN Staff Photographer)
they do their own service work,” said Fred. They’re still deciding what to do with their sweet prize, but in the meantime, they’ve had fun perusing the aisles of shiny, stainless steel appliances. “There’s so many thoughts,” said Fred. “We’ve never won anything like this!” His wife Deanne chimed in. “We’re looking at a dishwasher, a double oven,” said Fred. The two were overjoyed with their luck, as they were first-time customers of Spencer’s just a few months previously. “For one thing, it’s a real surprise,”
Deanne said. “It’s a real blessing, because it’s not something we would have expected nor is it something we considered very likely. It’s just very special.” Kim Brontsema has been working in Gilbert for almost a decade, and at first, she thought the whole thing was a bad joke. She had been receiving calls from Spencer’s all week before deciding to answer the fateful phone call. She thought to herself, “I’ve been making my payments on time, so I don’t know why they’re calling me!” she said laughing. It’s no prank though, these three lucky winners will be going home $10,000
richer in appliances. Spencer’s TV & Appliances has been in business for 47 years, expanding to 10 locations in the Valley just within the last two decades. Recently, however, costs for the local business have gone up due to the trade war with China. “Costs have went up, but we haven’t seen a change in slowing down purchases. It hasn’t really slowed us down at all, but it’s all concerning — that’s for sure,” Orlandi said. Regardless, Orlandi sees the company continuing to grow.

New program helps with hepatitis C treatment BY DR SATYA SARMA AND SCOTT CUMMINGS GSN Guest Writers
H
epatitis C is a dangerous, often silent disease that may not become apparent to those affected with symptoms until serious damage is done. The disease is highly prevalent here in Arizona. About 90,000 residents are living with hepatitis C, making it one of the state’s most commonly reported infectious diseases. The rate of new infections appears to be increasing, with approximately a 30 percent increase in new cases between 2013 and 2015. That is why it’s so important to bring attention to the condition in May, during Hepatitis Awareness Month. The good news is there are medications that can cure the disease. The challenge is making sure patients have access to these drugs and stick with their course of treat-
ment. The costs of not being adherent to these medications are high, and not just in monetary terms; it can also cause patients to become resistant to the drugs, making them ineffective. As healthcare and benefit providers serving the Medicaid population in Arizona, we are very familiar with the obstacles that many patients with hepatitis C face. They may also be dealing with homelessness, lack access to food and suffer from mental illness and substance use disorder, in addition to other medical problems. To properly care for these patients, we need to treat hepatitis C and support adherence to treatment by coordinating all aspects of care, including physical and behavioral health services, and social supports to address the individual patient’s specific circumstances.

launched a program that takes a new approach to treating hepatitis C patients. In addition to ensuring they receive hepatitis C anti-viral drug therapy, we enable our providers to address the patient’s adherence to the medicine by addressing their whole-person care and social needs. By reimbursing care through a bundled payment that is partly contingent on achieving a cure for the patient, this program allows providers to innovate their practice patterns. MIHS specialists can provide case managers and navigators to better coordinate care and connect their patients to local services to help meet their basic needs such as, food, housing, childcare and transportation assistance. This is the first time a Medicaid plan in the U.S. has used a value-based bundled payment system for hepatitis C treatment to reimburse care providers based on patient outcomes, rather than the typical fee-

for-service approach, making it possible to treat the patient holistically by providing social service supports and tailor medical care to address all of the patient’s needs. Using this model allows us to step outside network restrictions so patients can receive all their medical care under one roof, easing the burden of having to make multiple trips to different facilities. It also enables physicians to improve monitoring of the patient’s status and progress. Successfully treating hepatitis C is critical to reducing the threat of this disease in Arizona. New approaches such as ours can help empower healthcare practitioners to think outside the box and innovate care protocols to break down the barriers that prevent hepatitis C patients from receiving — and complying with — the treatment they need for better health. -Dr. Satya Sarma is chief medical officer and Scott Cummings is state president of Care1st Health Plan Arizona.

Campo Verde dominant in state title win BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor
I
f the Campo Verde High School boys volleyball team set out to make a statement against Marana Mountain View High School in the 5A Conference title game, they accomplished their goal. The Coyotes dominated in all facets of the game on Saturday, May 11 at Highland High School, as they swept the Mountain Lions in three sets to win the state title. “We’ve been dreaming about this from the start of the season,” senior outside hitter Albin Mathew said. “There was a lot of hype coming into the season. I’m just glad we were able to live up to it.” The Coyotes wasted little time jumping ahead of Mountain View, as they built to a 11-6 lead early in the first set. Mathew was dominant on the offensive end, recording point-after-point for Campo Verde with kills the Mountain Lions defense couldn’t stop. Mathew finished with 12 kills in the match, second-most on the team behind junior Jesse Lowder with 16. The offense helped Campo Verde outscore Mountain View 50-27 in the first two sets of the
high 122 blocks on the season. He added 8 more against Mountain View. Watts is one of the nine juniors that will take over the program as seniors next season. As a starter, he will likely be one of the lead voices on the floor for the Coyotes at all times.

But it’s While Mountain View showed fight in a responsibility he feels he is ready for the third set by scoring 20 points, Campo thanks to the leadership from this year’s Verde prevailed thanks to a service error senior class. from the Mountain Lions. “We have a lot to live up to,” Watts said. “This is wonderful, I feel like I’m on top “They’re all hard workers and they bring of the world,” Campo Verde coach Brian energy to this team.

The Coyotes Watts entered the match with a team- went just 5-19 in her first season, but
turned things around in 2017 to go 18-9 and made it to the state semifinals. Coach Vee, as she is known to those in the volleyball community, left Campo Verde to coach her daughter, Kamaile, at Skyline High. Brian took over in 2018 and has continued to lead the Coyotes. “A lot of the credit goes to her,” he said. “She did everything to get them ready. I’m sitting at the top but she should be the one getting all the credit.” From 5-19 as freshman to 28-2 and state champions as seniors, it’s a bittersweet ending for most of the senior class. Mathew, however, joined the program just last year as a junior. Though he had his own struggles he was able to overcome this season. “Last year wasn’t so good for me,” Mathew said. “I was able to step it up and I’m glad I was able to earn a starting spot this year.” Mathew still managed 99 kills in 75 sets last season. But he improved drastically as a senior with 253 kills in 86 sets, the second-most on the team. “It feels amazing, this is the best way to end things,” Mathew said. “We wanted to come in hard and we did that. It’s the best feeling ever.”
Mesquite’s two senior captains, have helped Flys build the program the last four seasons. “This program is where it is because of them,” Flys said. “For four years they have helped me mold the culture of this program.” Rodriguez and Jacot have been a part of the Mesquite program since they were freshman. They’ve helped build the program and set the standard for years to come. The two have seen the program transform during their time. One of the most notable changes in recent seasons is the overall character of the program.
Each member truly cares for one another, and they’ve built a bond similar to that of sisters. “We all work so well together and we all get along,” Jacot said. “We were all dedicated to helping each other.” As Jacot and Rodriguez celebrated with their team, the thought of it being their last match of their high school careers hadn’t fully set in. “We’ve always done everything with a purpose,” Rodriguez said. “We weren’t leaving without a championship. It’s an amazing feeling.”
Mesquite wins first beach volleyball title BY ZACH ALVIRA GSN Sports Editor
C
arlos Flys has spent the last six years building the Mesquite High School beach volleyball program into a state title contender. On Thursday, May 2, at the Chandler Unified School District’s beach volleyball facility in Queen Creek, he accomplished his goal. It took just three of the five matches for the Wildcats to dethrone two-time defending champion Fountain Hills High School to win the Division II beach
volleyball state championship. “It feels better than anything,” Flys said. “I’ve been trying to turn the program around, I’ve been fighting to get a state championship. To finally win it, I have no words.” Mesquite’s 5s and 4s picked up the program’s first two victories of the night. Fountain Hills’ 3s challenged the Wildcats, and eventually picked up the match victory. But during that time, Mesquite’s 2s — Daniyah Jehangir and Emma Hedeen — defeated Fountain Hills, 2-0, to claim the title. Layni Rodriguez and Jen Jacot,

George Takei, an original Trekkie, a Fan Fusion guest BY LAURA LATZKO GET OUT Contributor
G
eorge Takei is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu in “Star Trek: The Original Series” and subsequent “Star Trek” films and animated series, but he is much more than just one role. The actor’s illustrious career has spanned six decades and included different types of film, video game and TV roles. When he was hired as the show’s Lt. Hikaru Sulu, he realized the importance of “Star Trek.” “Gene Roddenberry created an extraordinary show back in the ’60s. We premiered in 1966. That was a turbulent time in America. The civil rights movement was going on. The Vietnam War was going on in Southeast Asia, and we were at the coldest point in the Cold War,” he said. Roddenberry wanted to make a statement about that condition. In order to do that and get it on TV, he had to be creative. He chose the 23rd century, 300 years in the future, and created a utopian kind of society, Takei said. “The strength of the starship lay in people coming from many different continents, many different cultures, races, faiths, many different histories, all working together,” he explained, noting: “Many young Asian Americans saw me as a hero and an icon for them because they had never seen an Asian American playing a heroic role, a member of the leadership team of that starship. I was very mindful of the responsibility that I had. Each one of us carried that same kind of responsibility and pride in the characters that we played.” Takei is also a long-time social activist who for most of his life has fought for social justice and equality for underrepresented people, including the LGBT community. Takei and his costars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig will visit Phoenix for the Phoenix Fan Fusion comic and pop culture convention, which runs from Thursday, May 23, to Sunday, May 26. During the convention, attendees can meet with prominent sci-fi and fantasy actors and comic book creators; dress

Square Egg Entertainment’s Kristin Rowan said that like other fan-focused conventions, Phoenix Fan Fusion has grown over the years to include new types of fandom. “Most comic conventions have evolved into events that have much more than just comic books,” she said, adding: “There are still very comic-centric conventions, but so many of them have embraced things like gaming, anime, cosplay and all of these other things. Fan Fusion seems to encompass that. Every year, we look ‘what are people really clambering for and what do people love from their childhood?’” For Takei and his husband, the convention will offer a chance to return to Arizona. They have a cabin in the White Mountains and frequently stop in Phoe-
nix on their way up north. During his varied career, Takei played the role of Kaito Nakamura on the TV show “Heroes” from 2007 to 2010; and also appeared in “Hawaii Five-O” and “Will & Grace,” among other shows. For fans, conventions such as Phoenix Fan Fusion offer the chance to meet, take pictures with and get autographs from actors who have touched their lives in some way. The Phoenix convention will also host Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones,” Jeff Goldblum from the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” series and the “Independence Day” saga, Elijah Wood from “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, Robin Lord Taylor from “Gotham,” SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Tom Kenny, Matthew Lewis from “The Harry Potter” film series, Catherine Tate from “Dr. Who,” Jack Skellington voice actor Chris Sarandon and Ray Park from “Star Wars: Episode 1-The Phantom Menace.” The event attracts attendees from across the United States and from Canada, Mexico, Europe and Australia. Rowan said many people turn the event into their annual vacation. “They travel from out of town. They bring their kids. They stay for a week and just immerse themselves in the
event. I think it has become more of an experience,” Rowan noted. Many of the actors attending the convention, including Takei, have established multifaceted careers over several decades. Recently, the actor portrayed former fisherman and community leader Yamato-san in “The Terror: Infamy,” a horror miniseries set in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II. He also served on a consultant on the AMC show, which premieres in August. For this role, he worked with an accent coach on speaking Japanese with a Wakayama accent. He has been working on a graphic memoir entitled “They Called Us Enemy,” about his experiences of being imprisoned in concentration camps in Arkansas as a child. It is set to be released this summer. Activism has been an important part of Takei’s life since he was a teen. He participated in civil rights- and Vietnamera antiwar movements and been part of efforts to get an apology and redress for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. “I was imprisoned by my own country, the United States of America, behind a barbed-wire prison camp in the United States of America,” Takei said. “Pearl Harbor was bombed, and simply because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor, we were considered a threat to national security. At 5 years old, I was classified as an ‘enemy alien,’ which is crazy. I was a 5-year-old kid. I didn’t know anything about the politics of the time.’ Phoenix Fan Fusion, Phoenix Convention Center, 100 N.
