Not My Kid assists youth with life’s toughest challenges
BY LYNETTE CARRINGTON
Not My Kid has been promoting
positive life choices by educating youth,
families and communities about the
consequences of destructive youth
behaviors.
Debbie and Steve Moak founded
the local organization in 1999 after
dealing with their son’s substance abuse
challenges.
Not My Kid, sometimes stylized
“notMYkid,” is a well-rounded
organization that focuses on six core
areas of challenges—drug and alcohol
abuse, bullying, unhealthy relationships,
eating disorders, depression/self injury
and Internet safety.
“We’re primarily a local organization,”
says Shane Watson, Not My Kid’s
communications manager. “We do our inperson presentations locally throughout
the state of Arizona. By the end of this
school year we will be in about 300
schools. We have a national DVD program
that organizations and schools outside of
the state have purchased.”
Schools reach out to the organization,
or vice versa.
“Sometimes schools are able to
pay for the program themselves, some
schools absolutely don’t have the budget
for it,” Watson explains
“We’ve managed to get grants from
private donors and we’ve gotten grants
from organizations like the Arizona
Diamondbacks. They gave us a really
generous $100,000 grant last year to fund
bullying prevention programs. It’s because
of that grant that we’ve been able to get
into more schools than ever before to do
our anti-bullying presentation.”
Chandler resident Anthony (last
name withheld for safety purposes) is
a 25-year-old amplified peer educator.
He speaks to schools about his selfdestructive behaviors and how he learned
to overcome his challenges.
“I go to schools all over Arizona and I
share my personal story with students so
they can learn from some of the mistakes
I made in my life on some very important
topics,” Anthony says.
“I give them resources and tools
so they can make some positive life
choices.”
He moved around a lot as a youngster
and went to 10 different schools.
Anthony struggled and dealt with
bullying issues, depression and suicide
attempts. In college, he sought help for
his problems and subsequently graduated
with honors from ASU with a psychology
degree.
He encourages others to seek the help
they need and that, indeed, it is OK to ask
for help.
“We are the only organization that
has peer-to-peer education going on, so
students feel much more comfortable
with us there,” Anthony says.
“When that happens, they are more
likely to come up to us and share their
personal stories.”
With an open dialogue, Anthony is

Schools recycling while earning prizes
BY MEGHAN MCCOY
Two Chandler schools are participating
in the Drink Pouch Brigade, a free recycling
program from Capri Sun and eco-pioneer
TerraCycle, earning money and points to
win prizes.
Navarette Elementary School Brigade
Leader Tamara Garrison says she noticed
an advertisement four years ago on a Capri
Sun label about the recycling program.
“I took an interest in it and approached
the principal and school about it,” says
Garrison, the parent of first- and fourthgrade students.
“I was able to talk them into it and have
been doing it ever since. It’s part of the
culture of the school. It’s something that
everyone knows and does. It seems to work
for us.”
Garrison explains it’s an easy way to get
the school involved in recycling. She says
she hopes to continue the program as long
as her kids attend the school.
Participating schools earn points from
the drink pouches collected, which are
shipped to TerraCycle. Two points per
pouch are earned for shipments more than
5 pounds, which equals about 430 pouches.
Three points per pouch are earned for
shipments that are more than 58 pounds,
which is about 5,000 pouches. Schools can
join at any time; there is no deadline.
Since signing up with TerraCycle in
July 2010, Navarette has collected 107,681
drink pouches, which has a cash value of
$2,026.50. It has earned 202,650 points.
The school receives a check twice a year
from TerraCycle for its efforts. Although the
amount varies, it goes straight to the PTO
for items the school needs. Garrison says
this year she is working with the librarian
because the school is in need of books.
“A lot of books that get checked out
don’t last forever,” she says. “I am trying to
find a specific area that we give the money
to so this year they (students) can realize
what the money has gone to.”
Chandler Traditional Academy joined
the program in September 2009 and
collected 54,379 drink pouches for a cash
value of $1,822.61 while it participated. It
translates to 182,261 points. All of its money,
too, went to the PTO.
“It’s a great program, if you have student
help,” says CTA Brigade Leader and PE
teacher Kirk Plamondon. “Every Friday I
would be here with a group of kiddos and
they would help. We would be here for an
hour.”
Unfortunately, as the years went on,
Plamondon says the students lost interest
and he decided to stop collecting the drink
pouches.
“I wouldn’t mind continuing it if I had
some dependable help,” he says. “If anyone
is interested in collecting trash, it’s a great
way to do it.”
TerraCycle Public Relations Intern Erica
Rodriguez says her organization decided
to focus on schools because Capri Sun is
geared toward children.
“We like to involve as many schools
as we can,” she says, which now involves

40,000 schools that have contributed 200
million pouches. About $4 million has been
donated since the initiation of the Drink
Pouch Brigade six years ago.
With that achievement, Capri Sun has
expanded its prizes to include a playground,
park benches and recycling bins for the
school or community.
Rodriguez says the drink pouches are
deemed not recyclable because they have
aluminum in them.
“We make products that people can
buy,” she says. “The program that we are
running now, the actual playgrounds are
made from the drink pouches. The label
stays, the brand stays, so it is all in the
playground. You can see all the Capri drink
pouches.”
Garrison says she has received a few
surprise boxes from TerraCycle such as 25
pencil cases made from Capri Sun drink
pouches.

Garrison says she waits until she receives
three or four boxes of pouches before she
ships them off.
“With this new incentive program, if
I wait to have so many boxes it’s more
beneficial,” she says.

French students win first place at ASU’s Foreign Language Fair
BY BETH LUCAS
The Avengers swept into Arizona State
University—and something was different.
They spoke French. They baked.
And they were 10 French III students from
Chandler-based Seton Catholic Preparatory.
The creative take on Avengers movies,
“We Forgot Pepper’s Birthday!,” won first
place at ASU’s Foreign Language Fair.
Students wrote, translated and
performed the play entirely in French before
competing against larger public schools.
“My favorite part was putting it all
together, being with my friends. We’re all so
close in that class,” says Ana Falls, a junior
from Chandler, who played “Hawkeye.” In
the play, the Avengers whip up crème brulee
after realizing they’d forgotten their friend’s
big day.
Students were judged on their
memorization, pronunciation, fluidity,
emotion and feeling.
Seton’s French instructor, Robin Noudali,
says languages have a big impact on students’
futures.
“Studies have shown that students who
take four years of the same foreign language
score higher on the same ACT and SAT test
than any other group of students,” she says.
“It just helps them in so many different ways.
The listening, the speaking, the reading that
gives them other perspectives and helps
their minds grow.”
They’re also exposed to different cultures,
she adds. “From a cultural aspect, we are
so isolated in the United States, so far from
Europe. We assume everything is like here,
FRENCH AVENGERS: Seton Catholic Prep High School French III students took first place in
Arizona State University’s Foreign Language Fair. Shown here, from left to right, are the students
who participated: Mariana Chacon, Gianna Bartolotta, Teresa McBryan, Genevieve Leach, Anna
Price, Ana Falls, Lily-Catherine Arama, Maria Rojas, Alex Fernandez, Thibault Denamiel, Sabrina
Wozny. Submitted photo
when it’s not.”
The winning team also includes juniors
Lily Arama, Teresa McBryan and freshman
Thibault Denamiel of Phoenix; juniors
Genevieve Leach and Sabrina Wozny of
Gilbert; junior Anna Price of Tempe; junior
Mariana Chicon of Mesa; and junior Alex
Fernandez of Scottsdale.
Many of the students were learning
French as a third language, including Ana,
who learned Spanish in elementary school.
“I think it’s really important, you
personally gain a new sense of the world,
when you learn a language. You also learn
the culture,” Ana says. “You get to see the
different things besides English and the
American way. It’s really cool.”
Planning to go into medicine and become
a pediatrician, she adds that she wants to
learn Latin next.
Her classmates spent weeks creating the
play and practicing, she says. Still, they were
thrilled and surprised to take first place, after
performing in a foreign language before a
crowd.
“We worked really hard on it,” Ana says.
“But we were also really shocked, because
there were so many other schools there. It
was just so exciting that we actually won the
competition, because we had such a small
class.
“French is a lot different, it’s such a pretty
language,” she adds. “When you first learn
how to speak it, it’s really hard because
all pronunciation is different. Once you
get used to it, it just rolls off your tongue,
and when it all comes together it sounds
really pretty. A key to learning a language is
practicing, speaking out loud.”
Mariana, a 16-year-old junior from Mesa,
was thrilled as she became fluent in her third
language—French. She also choreographed a
final dance scene in the play.
Mariana’s character was “Nick Fury,” the
leader of the Avengers. “It was a pretty
humorous play,” she adds – where the
characters take turns with ideas on how to
celebrate the character, Pepper’s, belated
birthday. “My character wears an eye patch,
and because we’re cooking crème brulee,
I got egg in my one good eye—it was
something kind of impromptu so it ended up
being one of my favorite parts.”
Her ultimate goal is also a career in
medicine, as a pediatrician or nurse caring for
children. She hopes that leads to a lifetime
of traveling, and learning more about new
cultures.
“Speaking another language makes
traveling a lot easier,” she says. “Just being
able to communicate in different languages
opens a lot of job opportunities. You just
know the world a little better beyond where
www.SanTanSun.com
you live, and what you’re used to.”
Alex, a 17-year-old junior from
Scottsdale, used the opportunity to try
out performance.
“It was really fun to play (“Ironman”),”
Fernandez says. “My character was kind
of funny. I thought I was going to freak
out because I’ve never done public
performance before. I was surprised how
comfortable I felt. It definitely boosted
my confidence by just doing it.”
He also plans to put his language
skills into use, hoping to score a collegelevel architectural scholarship in France.
“It let me get a taste of it, see
if I liked it, and it made me more
comfortable about performing in front
of other people,” he says. “The fact
that it was in French, made me more
comfortable with the language overall.”
French is Alex’s third language. Born in
Mexico, he learned English as his second
language after starting kindergarten.
“It’s nice to be able to speak more
than one language,” he adds. “And I just
think it’s better for me in the future,
maybe in getting jobs. And it is nice to
be able to speak with other people.”
Seton principal Patricia Collins
put the students’ achievement in
perspective: “Thousands of students
from the Phoenix area, Tucson and as
far away as Mohave County participated
in the events. Congratulations to our
impressive French III students and to
their teacher.”

New Vistas takes first in science and engineering fair
New Vistas Center for Education in
Chandler took top honors along with a
4-foot trophy for the Elementary School
Division of the Arizona Science and
Engineering fair held at the Arizona Science
Center. Hundreds of public, charter and
private schools competed.
Fifth grader Neha Shakir took first place
in the physics and astronomy category
with her experiment entitled “A-Salting
the Plants,” which analyzed the effect that
varying degrees of salinity have on plant
growth.
Second-place winner in physics was
Riaz Mowzoon-Mogharrabi whose project
demonstrated “Electromagnetism and the
Future of Transportation.”
Sajni Patel placed second under the
planetary and Earth sciences category for
her project surrounding radioactivity in
nature.
In the environmental sciences category,
Mahwish Quadri placed third for her
experiment on how to effectively “Put
Water to Work.”
Utilizing mathematical sciences, Hannah
Tsay successfully demonstrated that an
algorithm—which appears often in the
study of geometry, art and architecture—
called the Golden Ratio can also be found
within most music compositions.
Fifth grader Katarina Fenner placed
second in chemistry by proving that
common food items can be preserved
utilizing the same chemical compounds
employed by ancient Egyptians in
mummification.
WINNERS: New Vistas captures title “Top Science and Engineering School in Arizona”. Pictured

“Science fairs are genuinely cross
disciplinary,” states Kim Peet of the New
Vistas science department.
“Students learn to love science through
hands-on science labs. The Science
and Engineering Fair is one of the few
competitions where students actually
design their own learning experience.
They have the satisfaction of employing
the disciplines of critical thinking, time
management, cohesive planning, as well
as, integrating computer, math, vocabulary,
reading and research skills.”
The event is a culmination of school
and regional fairs across the state involving
thousands of science fair projects in
numerous categories. Approximately 1,200
students survived the local competitions
to represent their schools at the Phoenix
Convention Center. To be considered
eligible for competition, students had to
adhere to a rigid scientific protocol which is
set at the international level.
Dr. Sharon Kortman, vice president of
the Arizona Science Center, presented two
special awards on behalf of the Central
Arizona Chapter of the Association
for Women in Science to sixth graders
Hannah Tsay and Mahwish Quadri for their
extraordinary work in the sciences at the
elementary school level.
The Arizona Science and Engineering
Fair competition is sponsored at the state
and international levels by Intel, GoDaddy,
SRP, ASU, Honeywell, Helios and Arizona
Science and Technology Foundation.

Enjoy the West at Koli Equestrian Center
BY LYNETTE CARRINGTON
Equine activities are no longer reserved
for ranchers and those taking lessons. The
sport has grown in popularity over the last
few decades.
Situated on the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Koli Equestrian Center caters
to all levels of riders on its 372,000 acres
that boast herds of wild horses that traverse
the landscape freely.
“We have no ‘set’ trails,” explains Chuck
Pablo, a member of the Pima tribe and
general manager of the Koli Equestrian
Center. “As long as we stay on our 1,000
acres we’re good.”
Group trail rides are the biggest draw at
Koli Equestrian Center. They are scheduled
for 8 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
from Sept. 1 to May 31. Summer hours are
June 1 through Aug. 31 and the rides occur
daily at 7 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. The
90-minute group rides are $65.
“This is not the usual head-to-tail trail
ride and riders are more spread out and can
get to know one another,” says Pablo.
Private trail rides are available, too. The
90-minute ride is $85.
“Our rides are beautiful and people get
to know our land and we always see the
wild stallions during our rides,” Pablo notes.
Wrangler and lead trail guide Sylvia
Peters has been with the Koli Equestrian
Center for more than four years. She knows
the land and wild horses well.
“We love Henry, the wild stallion,” Peters
says. “He’s been out here for years; as long
as anyone can remember. He comes right

up to the fence and thinks he’s part of the
herd. The other horses will spread their hay
around when they eat and Henry will get
some. We like it when he visits.”
Besides group and private rides, the
margarita sunset ride is also growing in
popularity. The one-hour ride is for those 21
and older.
“The margarita sunset ride is a unique

grooming, saddling and riding techniques.
“It’s more for younger kids and
beginners,” states Pablo. “But we have had
kids that go through this program and then
come back for brush-up lessons or just to
ride with us.”
Koli Equestrian Center hosts
personalized birthday parties where kids
experience for adults,” Pablo explains. “The
time varies slightly with the sun, but we
head out and enjoy the beautiful sunset
and when we get back, we have margaritas,
chips and salsa.”
Dinner rides are available, too, for all
ages.

COMMUNITY EVENT FOR CHANDLER RESIDENTS
From Dr.
Chamberlain’s
Desktop:
ver the last
year, you
may have
noticed a Chamberlain
Orthodontics car
Dr. Thomas Chamberlain
wrapped with our
logo driving around
town. My staff and I have enjoyed the car and
used it for various office events. On the back
of the car it has an invitation that reads,
“Win me!” Over the last few months,
I have been asked several questions like,
“How are you able to give a car away?”
and “Why are giving a car away?”
It is a little shocking, I guess, when you see an
Orthodontist, with a growing practice, giving
away a new car to a lucky patient. Such odds
of winning would make anyone in Vegas jealous to the core. However, the pure intent of a
car giveaway is to show gratitude for our
O
amazing patients. I truly believe we have the
most devoted and loyal patients in our community! I want to show them it's an honor
that we are able to have a positive influence in
their families by making their smiles healthy
and beautiful.
Mark your calendars and come have
dinner with us! We’re inviting patients,
their families, friends, neighbors and basically
the whole community, to a huge appreciation

Teens embrace creativity to make positive changes
BY TAMARA KRAUS
It started with a locket, three girls
and a dream to buy a car.
In their Chandler neighborhood,
9-year-old Madison Butcher and her
younger sister, Tatum, sat on Origami
Owl founder Bella Weems’ living
room floor creating bows, jewelry
and eventually the “living lockets”
that would lead to Bella’s direct sales
company, which she began in 2010 at
the age of 14.
This year, the company is expected
to top $250 million in revenue.
At the time, Madison, known as
Madi, had no idea their hobby would
eventually be named one of Forbes.
com’s “10 Companies Crushing it in Art
& Fashion.”
The million-dollar idea sells charms
placed inside a locket, which are
offered at home parties, or “jewelry
bars,” by independent sellers called
“designers.”
For some, there may have been
concerns about starting a company at
a young age, but, Madi says, the girls
decided to “go for it.”
In 2012, Bella asked Madi and her
mom, Tami, to be the first mom and
daughter team for Origami Owl to
represent the company’s focus on
family.
Now they are the highest-ranked
mom and daughter duo, with 7,500
designers—and approximately 150 new
recruits each week—under them.
They call themselves Team Believe.
Tatum, now 12, joined their team this
year thanks to the company’s updated
policy allowing children her age to be a
part of the positive power of selling.
The most rewarding part of direct
sales for Madi? Watching children
change their self-perception.
Low self-confidence. Fear of public
speaking. Poor time management.
Those are just a few areas Madi has
seen reversed through Origami Owl. For
her, speaking in front of a crowd is no
longer a challenge. It’s an opportunity.
Women tell her, “You’re an
inspiration to me and my daughter.”
“Usually I’m saying that to somebody
else older than me and the fact that
older women are coming up to me
and telling me that I’m an inspiration
for them, it’s just really empowering
and makes me want to do whatever I
can to help be a force for good,” Madi
explains.
One of those women is a family
friend and one of Team Believe’s
designers, Vicki Zangl.
Her Origami Owl journey began
about a year and a half ago, when
she hosted a jewelry bar with Team
Believe.
After seeing Madi interact with
customers to create lockets, place
orders and calculate receipts, she
wanted to be part of a company
providing children with personal and
financial security.
But she had to wait three months
to join, due to the hypergrowth of the
company.
At times, this was a lot to handle for
a young company.
But Tami reminds her daughters
of Origami Owl’s core values during
overwhelming points: “Operate by the
Golden Rule.”
From traveling to regional meetings,
jewelry bars and more, Tami has had
to revive Madi’s entrepreneurial spirit
when she missed out on social events
with friends.
But when she remembers she
is a 16-year-old entrepreneur and
inspiration to both girls and women, it’s
easy to get motivated again.
A junior at Perry High School, Madi
balances softball, honors Spanish and
the Big Buddies program with adult
duties.
Taxes, money management and now
a car payment, thanks to her recent
Volkswagen purchase, are just a few
of the responsibilities she has since
making her own money with Origami
Owl.
But that doesn’t mean she has had to
sacrifice the fun of her teen years.
One of her childhood dreams came
true this year when she met Raven
Symoné, of Disney’s “That’s So Raven,”
while selling at Childhelp’s “Fashion
Through the Ages” gala in Scottsdale.
Madi and her mom represented
Origami Owl along with Bella’s family
to help support abuse prevention and
treatment programs.
While she does have a dream of
being a cosmetologist after high school,
she will always sell Origami Owl.
“I just get all these opportunities
that I would never get in school, and I’m
just so proud to say that I’m a part of a
business that is still in infancy and still
growing so big,” Madi says.
Since starting Origami Owl, she
has gained a car, 7,500 designers and
counting, and security through Team
Believe. She is a force for good.
