Breakthrough Treatment for Constant Migraine Pain

East Valley Clinic Provides Advanced Therapy

(Chandler, AZ) There are several di erent kinds of migraine headaches and a wide variety of methods to treat them. Among the most debilitating headaches are intractable migraines. This refers to migraine pain that continues in spite of all traditional attempts of migraine prevention and treatment. Simply put, they are migraine headaches that just won’t go away.

Novocur Pain Management Clinic is achieving significant results for treating intractable migraines with a breakthrough method called neuromodulation or neurostimulation therapy.

A very small, thin device emits an electric current to nerve tissue, blocking the pain signals and replacing them with a pleasant vibration felt in the back of the head. This nerve blocking e ect

provides a long term reduction in the intensity, duration and frequency of these headaches.

Patients can “try out” this therapy before choosing to go ahead with a permanent implant. Novocur’s president and CEO Dr. Alex Bigham says, “Our priority is always to match the very best treatment for each specific kind of pain.”

Bigham adds that neuromodulation has also proven effective for other pain problems related to failed back surgeries, sciatic leg pain, and peripheral neuropathy.

A comprehensive guide to understanding migraine headaches and many other types of pain and pain treatments is available at novocur.com. For specific questions and appointments call the clinic directly at (480) 855-6686.

From Dr. Chamberlain’s Desktop

ecently, my family and I had the opportunity to be involved in the Mesa Easter Pageant. The pageant is a play depicting the life of Jesus Christ. It has been a fun Easter event and we have enjoyed getting to know so many new friends. During all the rehearsals, we would run scenes over and over again. My children, who are not as used to rehearsals as I have been in the past, wondered why we needed to go over them so many times. Why continue to repeat these things? I explained to them the power of

repetition. Doing something right once is great but it may not be lasting. When pressure is on and you are nervous, you may not be at the top of your game. That is why steady, consistent repetition is needed. Additionally, the directors are seeing things that we don’t see. Each time we repeat a scene, they come back with notes on how to improve. Many times they are notes about something that we had no idea that went wrong. Thus, the repetitions with the goal to improve and correct make the whole show almost flawless. As I thought about this while I was sharing this with my daughter, I thought about how this relates to orthodontics. So often I have patients who look and think that must be done with braces by now. After all,

it’s been 3 months and the front teeth are almost perfect. But when the director looks into the mouth, I may see things differently. Perhaps because of a better view, or from years of training or perhaps from thousands of previous patients in repetition, their orthodontist can see things that the patient may not see. Thus, getting us closer to that perfect performance or that perfect smile, we must listen to the director and not get discouraged on some things that just need repeating.

Teacher awarded scholarship for sustainability practices

Corona del Sol High School technical theater teacher Nick Taylor instructs his students how to build sets for the school plays.

Taylor thinks about old sets and how they can be reused for new ones in demonstrating to his students the economic and environmental benefits of sustainability.

Wal-Mart Hiring Site 3460 West Chandler Blvd Chandler, Arizona

As a result, the Chandler resident was one of four Valley teachers who received a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Phoenix, in partnership with Arizona Forward. e funds will help pay for his master’s degree in leadership, which he anticipates finishing in less than two years.

“I’m very, very excited— largely because leadership interests me—but (because) this is not something I’d be able to afford to do on my own dime,” Taylor added.

In his 11th year at Corona del Sol, Taylor teaches in the largest technical theater program in Arizona, Taylor said.

Taylor applies sustainability in a few areas.

“Every single set we build has physical needs and, unlike a classroom where you can move away from using papers to digital sources, we can’t digitalize what we do,” Taylor said.

“We have to make purchases. We have to build. We have to use resources. I really emphasize how to reuse things we’ve already built and how we repurpose things we’ve already built.”

Pam Roggeman, the academic dean for the College of Education at the University of Phoenix, said the principles between the Arizona Forward Scholarship program and the University of Phoenix are closely aligned.

“Sustainability is one of the top priorities at the University of Phoenix—not only in the way they conduct their business but throughout the program,” Roggeman said.

Arizona Forward is a 45-year-old nonprofit organization that brings business and civic leaders together to enhance environmental sustainability and economic vitality of Arizona and local regions.

e four educators who received scholarships were chosen by a group.

“It was a committee, the members of which were both from the Arizona Forward program and also from the University of Phoenix,” Roggeman said. “We would like to develop a relationship with Nick here at the university.”

Apartment dwellers take notice. Phoenix-based NexMetro Communities purchased 15 acres at the northeast corner of Warner Road and Grace Boulevard (just west of Arizona Avenue) in Chandler, where it plans to develop 194 homes. The development will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans that will range from $1,000 to $1,600 in 12- to 24-month contracts. The project continues the developer’s goal of building singlefamily, detached homes for lease to residents who perhaps don’t want to purchase (and finance) a new home, but want something more substantial than an apartment. The property is less than two miles from Chandler’s downtown district. The development is expected to attract higher-income residents. Ground breaking is expected to occur in April, and homes will be ready to lease at the end of the year.

Chandler residents are bracing for triple-digit temperatures right around the corner. The month of May is characterized by average temperatures that steadily rise throughout the month, with daily highs ranging from 86 degrees to 95 degrees over the course of the month. The days are getting hotter and longer as well, with May 1 having 13 hours and 33 minutes of daylight, while May 31 has 14 hours and 15 minutes of daylight. The longer day results in sunset extending from 7:12 p.m. on May 1 to 7:34 p.m. on May 31.

What do most young kids want to be when they grow up? A firefighter, of course. But most have a change of plans sometime between first grade and senior year in college. If you still have that burning desire (no pun intended) to fight fires in your community, here is your chance.

Training Center, 3550 S. Dobson Rd. The academy application is online at www.chandleraz.gov/fire with a $100 registration fee. After graduation from the academy, Chandler Fire Cadets meet at the training center on the first Saturday and third Wednesday of each month for additional training, drills and classroom instruction. Cadets who graduate from the cadet academy are eligible to ride with fire crews and operate with them (must be age 16 or older). This is like fantasy camp for firefighters.

Chandler residents generally love their parks, and one of the most popular City parks, Folley Memorial Park, is getting a $857,000 renovation and facelift. Folley Park—located off Frye Road east of Arizona Avenue—turned 38 years old and the 24-acre park has seen better days. It is undergoing renovations that will see aging ramadas replaced with new ramadas, as well as the installation of new lighting, upgraded basketball courts and shade canopies over softball field bleachers. The project began April 6 and is expected be completed in August. A little sports history: Folley Park is named in memory of boxer Zora Folley, a Chandler resident who fought Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title in 1967. Folley lost in the seventh round by knockout, but he became a hero to Chandler residents, who in 1976 dedicated Folley Park in his honor. Listening to the “Rocky” theme song while exercising at the park is highly encouraged.

The Chandler Fire, Health & Medical Department is inviting men and women ages 15 to 21 to join the Chandler Fire Cadets. To become a cadet, candidates must complete Chandler’s Fire Cadet Academy, an eight-week program that starts May 2, and includes elements of physical fitness, teamwork, personal development, firefighting skills and more. It is held at the City’s Fire

Mayor’s Teen Leadership Academy connects youth with their community

Comments were heated in the Council Chambers recently as a debate over curfew brought out strong arguments on both sides of the issue. Fortunately, the anger was interspersed with laughter as the high school-age “city council members” learned how the City of Chandler conducts public meetings.

e mock City Council meeting was one of several activities offered up to engage young people in the community at the mayor’s inaugural Teen Leadership Academy. In a testament to the community dedication of Chandler’s young people, more than 20 high school students spent their spring break learning about leadership and local government.

break to learning about Chandler City government,” Tibshraeny said.

More than 40 students applied for the program last fall and were selected based on a brief essay. As part of the program, students were surveyed before and after on their general knowledge about the community, and how they would rank items to consider when choosing a city to call home.

In the General Knowledge portion of the survey, the students’ correct answers increased an average of more than 21 percent between the first and second surveys.

Teen’s leadership experience bolstered by new City academy for youth

Submitted by Chandler’s Communications and Public Affairs Department

Sydney Hess learned about Mayor Jay Tibshraeny’s inaugural Teen Leadership Academy from her mother who read about it in a local newspaper’s ad.

e Chandler High School junior jumped at the chance to get an inside look into local government.

Hess said she also saw an ad for the academy through the high school’s weekly e-mail, which prompted her to apply.

At Chandler High, Hess is junior class president, vice president of the Environmental Club, a member of DECA, Link Crew and the National Honor Society. Hess also is on a youth panel for the Housing and Human Services Commission.

“Each department head had 15 minutes allotted to speak, but it was nowhere close enough to the amount they wanted to share,” Hess said. “ at passion was truly impressionable.”

e Teen Leadership Academy is a new initiative by Mayor Jay Tibshraeny to get young people involved in the community, inspire them to seek jobs in the public sector and teach leadership skills. e students jumped in to the exercises with interest and enthusiasm. e curriculum consisted of overviews of nearly every City of Chandler department by each director, daily activities such as the mock council meeting, an emergency operations drill, motivational speakers and time to interact and ask questions of the mayor and members of the City Council.

“I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the students in the program, and appreciate that they were willing to devote a good part of their spring

In the rankings portion of the survey, every category increased in what students considered important, with the largest increases in the categories of well-maintained streets and parks, a financially stable community and proximity to freeways.

When asked who would recommend this experience to classmates, friends and family, it was unanimous “yes” vote. “I liked hearing from people who were clearly passionate about their jobs and the City. ank you for this amazing program. I really enjoyed it,” one student said. Another said, “ is experience exceeded all my expectations. I could not have asked for a better program to be a part of.”

Tibshraeny’s Teen Leadership Academy will be an annual event.

Hess explained that she decided to apply to the academy because she has an interest in helping her school, community and now, the City.

“Mayor Tibshraeny’s Teen Leadership Academy has given me an exceptionally positive view of my city and its government because of the people that help it function,” Hess said.

Hess added that every City employee the teens talked to during the five-

After attending the academy, Hess is now interested in pursuing a career in municipal government. “ is experience taught me that City government has a direct impact on the citizens that live within it,” Hess said. e single most important advice Hess learned through the academy is the concept of teamwork.

“All departments from the City of Chandler work together in an extremely effective and impressive manner,” Hess said. “ ere must be communication and positive relationships between all entities. ese factors are important in my life because, through teamwork and communication, I can become an impactful and empowering leader.”

Rio Salado College announces choice for new mascot

After weeks of reviewing entries, tallying votes and deliberation, Rio Salado College has decided on a new mascot concept.

“We are the Rio Waves,” announced Rio Salado President Chris Bustamante at a collegewide staff meeting at the Tempe headquarters.

While the actual Rio Wave mascot and name are still in development, the inspiration is clear.

“ e Rio Waves will help us tell our story by representing the water of the Salt River and how the college cuts through barriers and navigates around obstacles in order to find innovative ways to serve nontraditional students,” Bustamante said.

e process has drawn quite a bit of community engagement.

e college invited the public to submit mascot concepts last January, which motivated 134 people to submit more than 200 ideas, including things like the Salty Dogs, Sun Storks, Rio Salt Shakers, Rip Tides and Beach Buoys.

After sorting through the most popular entries, the college Mascot

Committee chose seven finalists: Beaver, Mouse, Raven, River Rat, Roadrunner, Surfer and Wave/ Splash.

e college called on the public to choose the final three. More than 1,300 people responded and narrowed the search to Raven, Roadrunner and Wave/Splash.

e college Mascot Committee and Executive Team decided the Rio Waves was the clear choice.

e committee was comprised of faculty, staff and students. eir primary objective was to find a mascot that relates to Rio Salado’s unique mission, flexible learning format, innovative practices and college culture.

Artists from the college’s Institutional Advancement creative services unit are already drafting design concepts for a Rio Wave mascot. Once complete, the college will call on the public once again to help name the mascot.

One thing is likely certain, the mascot will be responsible for leading event attendees in the wave.

Rio Salado College is one of 10 Maricopa Community Colleges and one of the largest online public community college in the nation, serving nearly 59,000 students annually with more than 30,000 online. Founded in 1978, Rio Salado offers 600-plus online classes, 100-plus degree and certificate programs and general education courses. e college also provides support for dual enrollment, military and incarcerated students and serves as one of the largest providers of adult basic education in Arizona.

Goldfield is a true Western ghost town experience

Story and photos by Lynette Carrington

I loved the Western experience as a child.

Now that we have three kids, I wanted to share the magic and majesty of how the West was won with my family.

Goldfield Ghost Town is much more than a tourist experience, it’s an actual Arizona town complete with a U.S. Post Office, seven full-time residents and a nondenominational chapel with church services every Sunday. Admission to Goldfield is free and the town is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

My entire family was excited to discover Goldfield. Founded in 1893, the town in those days featured a rich gold mine before it flooded and went bust. Goldfield literally became a ghost town in 1898.

Luckily for us, our family was able to see the only remaining original Goldfield structure that now houses the apothecary and Miner’s Grill and Ice Cream Parlor.

After a quick pit stop at the Miner’s Grill we jumped on board the Superstition Narrow Gauge Railroad. I would highly recommend the train ($5 to $8) as your first attraction. It travels around Goldfield’s perimeter and gives a broad overview of everything the town has to offer, plus a unique look at the desert scenery and nearby Superstition Mountains. e 20-minute train trip is well worth the ticket price.

thest reaches of the East Valley. We ran out of time for this particular attraction, but it’s at the top of the list for our next visit along with a family photo at the Time After Time Antique Photography Studio.

Goldfield’s Main Street gave my kids an idea of how a real Western town may have looked back in the day. My youngest child quickly pointed out the gold panning at Prospector’s Place ($6 to $7) and my other two children chimed in that they wanted to strike it rich, too. Unlike some gold panning attractions, Prospector’s Place offered real slivers of gold and even some garnets in the slush mix. e “prospector” on duty even showed us all the proper techniques for gold panning. It’s a true Western experience and I suspect we could have stayed to pan for gold all day, but it was time for a mine tour.

Next to the train station is the Superstition zipline ($12). is attraction was installed just last year and gives riders a bird’s eye view of Goldfield, the Superstition Mountains and the far-

In addition to the train ride, the Goldfield Mine Tour ($5 to $8) is definitely not to be missed. My kids were apprehensive because they only saw a dark mine shaft entrance at street level and didn’t know what to expect.

After a short walk down into the mine, our tour guide described the history of the town and the mine and how

Clean with vinegar to save money and the Earth

With the array of cleaning options at the grocery store, it is easy to forget that the most natural and effective cleaner could be sitting in your cabinet at this very moment. Vinegar is an all-in-one cleaner. It can take on most any cleaning challenge, no matter the size, and there’s no need to worry about harmful effects typically associated with harsh, chemical cleaning agents. Budget conscious and eco friendly, vinegar is truly a product with many talents.

An online survey conducted by e Vinegar Institute found that cleaning/disinfecting are the second most popular uses for white distilled vinegar next to food preparation uses. Here are a few hints on how to utilize the cleaning power of vinegar in your home:

• Use full-strength vinegar to banish grease and eliminate mildew. Dilute with water to remove grease and grime on miniblinds.

• Use full strength to clean chrome fixtures and whiten grout.

• Dilute with water to brighten brickwork.

• Dilute with ammonia and baking soda to freshen a musty closet.

• Mix with salt and baking soda to unclog drains.

• Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons white vinegar to a 1-quart vase of water to keep flowers fresh longer.

Community Education is Mesa Public Schools’ secret for summer fun

By Laurie Struna, Mesa Public Schools

Mesa Public Schools is gearing up for a summer of fun and learning. e Community Education Department features a variety of opportunities for students throughout the East Valley.

Teens ‘n’ Tweens is one of the programs available. Understandably popular with students who have completed fifth through seventh grade, the focus is on fun and features opportunities such as “Project Runway,” “Shark Tank” and “Cupcake Wars.”

“Teens ‘n’ Tweens summer program is the best-kept secret in all Mesa,” said Vicki Tolman, Skyline High School business and economics teacher.

“I would have loved for my children to have experienced these incredible programs with certified teachers instructing and captivating my children in engaging activities.”

Tolman has taught a variety of summer programs for the district. is summer she will teach senior economics at Mountain View High School but admits Teens ‘n’ Tweens is a blast.

Top: Students in Teens ‘n’ Tweens learn how to make cinnamon rolls.

Right: Veronica Miller, a fifth-grade student at Zaharis Elementary School, models her brother’s “Project Runway” design

“Working with students who are excited to learn about ‘Shark Tank,’ creating a brand new product and marketing it to a group of sharks, is one of my favorite things about teaching these classes,” Tolman shared. “Students were incredibly excited and came up with some very creative ideas to sell.”

Landon Miller, now an eighth-grade student at Smith Junior High School, participated in Project Runway. He said he started in the community education summer programs for younger students and decided to continue because they were fun. In “Project Runway,” with the help of a creative staff, he constructed a dress for his sister, Veronica, who modeled it in the final fashion show. e budding designer’s inspiration came from another dress his sister owns. He chose the fabric based on her favorite colors.

“ e process involved a lot of math, sewing pieces together, and finally attaching everything. I learned to organize and to incorporate a backup plan,” Miller said.

Miller revealed some of his favorite moments involved all the teamwork and camaraderie between students.

Painted Washer Keychains

It’s that time of year again, that wonderful time of year, where we honor mothers and teachers and thank them for the wonderful things they do. I actually got this idea from my daughter’s teacher so I take that as a sign that these are good gifts for teachers. Anything to avoid the “No. 1 Teacher/ Mom” mug, right?

Ingredients:

Nail Polish

Key Ring(s)

Washers, various sizes

Puff paint or permanent marker

Step 1

If you’re like me, you have a lot of nail polish in a lot of colors and some just aren’t fun to wear anymore. Luckily, they make great enamel for this project and lend themselves to some very colorful designs.

Aside from the usual solid blocks of color, my girls and I experimented with different techniques to make the paint mix together. We found that if the polish was applied thickly and then corresponding colors were dropped on top, the paint would start to mix together and make some really neat mosaic designs.

We also found that we could take this approach one step further and after the colors had been applied, take a toothpick and swirl the polish together for a marbled finish.

Step 2

Another idea would be to apply small rhinestones to the wet polish for a more blingy approach to these keychains.

It’s important to let the washers dry for at least 24 hours or else the paint could get smudged during assembly. Once the paint is dry, turn over the largest washer and use either puff paint or a permanent marker to write your holiday greetings to the gift recipient: “Happy Mother’s Day, Love Sara” for example.

Step 3

The final step is as simple as loading the keyring the same way you would put a key on a keychain. I started with the largest of the washers and used it to prop open the keyring so as to avoid scratching the polish. I layered other washers on top of the largest one and then curled them all on at the same time. The washers make a pretty belllike sound when they knock together, which I call an added bonus.

Fractured Prune Doughnuts

Packing hundreds of empty calories and a whole bunch of guilt, doughnuts are back and more popular than ever. Fractured Prune is one of the new shops capitalizing on Americans love affair with the sugary, deep-fried delicacy.

I visited the Chandler shop, located in a strip mall on the northeast corner of Ray and Rural roads, on a Friday morning. Fractured Prune is decorated in a contemporary style with pastel purple painted walls and modern, minimalistic furniture. e sales counter and cooking station are situated on the left side of the retail space; tables and chairs are on the right. A giant menu mounted on the wall behind the counter shows patrons how to order.

Fractured Prune encourages patrons to channel their “inner doughnut genius,” choosing from a list of 19 glazes and 14 toppings to add to their plain doughnut. It sounds simple...but it’s not. Fractured Prune says there are as many as 155,648 possible combinations, and deciding on one flavor for your doughnut creation may be more agonizing than you think. Of course, Fractured Prune says, “there’s no wrong way to make yours right.”

Fortunately, Fractured Prune also offers 15 house combinations, so that’s where I started. Whether you order one single ($1.89) or one dozen ($15.99), you’re getting a doughnut served fresh and warm.

I placed my order at the sales counter, and then slid along to the right and watched as the doughnut magic unfolded in the cooking station. A cook drops raw dough circles into the automated fryer, as many as four wide. A

stainless steel conveyor belt carries the raw doughnuts about 12 inches, where they are flipped to cook the other side. Another short trip along the belt, the doughnuts are drained and dropped out the other side, ready for customizing. Fractured Prune uses cake batter, not yeast-risen batter, so the doughnuts lack the light, airy quality of Krispy Kreme’s. At the next station, the doughnuts are glazed and topped to order.

e whole process takes only minutes and happiness in a box awaits.

e brand’s best-selling variety is the O.C. Sand, a doughnut with honey glaze and cinnamon sugar. Other popular varieties include French Toast (maple, cinnamon and sugar) Blueberry Hill (blueberry glaze and powdered sugar) and Ms. Prunella (mixed berry glaze and cinnamon sugar).

Doughnuts wouldn’t be quite as magical without coffee, so Fractured Prune offers fresh-brewed coffee by the cup ($1.89 for a medium cup and $2.09 for a large) or a 96-ounce java box ($14.99).

So what about the unusual moniker?

e first Fractured Prune opened in Ocean City, Maryland, and was named after Prunella Shriek, a local 19th-century athlete who became a cult hero for the many broken bones she sustained while competing against men, thus earning the nickname “Fractured Prunella.” Sounds like the stuff of local folklore, but it makes for good conversation and the quirky moniker resonates with younger customers. Fractured Prune should be able to carve out a niche with consumers looking for a tasty doughnut served in a fun atmosphere.

Pink Grapefruit Pound Cake

Delicious, juicy pink grapefruit is in season from October through May, so this is a great month to try a sweet treat with a sensational citrus twist— the Pink Grapefruit Pound Cake.

First about the cake.

It really should have been called a 4-pound cake, because back in the 1700s, when someone baked up this invention, the original pound cake called for 1 pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour.

Since then, the pound cake has slimmed down in ingredients and in size, and fresh citrus is often added to the basic mixture. While lemon is the darling of citrus when it comes to desserts, there is a sweet alternative in abundance right now in your store’s produce department. Pink grapefruit is juicy, sweet, inexpensive and large, which is why this recipe for

Pink Grapefruit Pound Cake is so perfect.

While you’re enjoying the juicy fruit inside as a snack, the outside skin can be zested and blended into a moist, rich and dense cake. en, you’ll take a few wedges, juice them up and add that to powdered sugar for a zesty citrus drizzle over top of the cake.

I made one big mistake on my first go-around. I got a bit of the white pith under the outer skin in my zesting and it made my cake slightly bitter, so make sure that you grate only the pink peel. You can drizzle as much or as little of the icing as you like. Just double the icing ingredients for more sweetness on top. e second mistake I made was cutting into the cake before it cooled and set up. Patience has never been my virtue, but in this case waiting a bit promises the perfect slices.

Pink Grapefruit Pound Cake

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter

1 small package (8 ounce) cream cheese

2 cups sugar

3 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 heaping tablespoon grapefruit rind (pink skin only, no white pith)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup milk or cream

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Icing:

2 tablespoons grapefruit juice, strained

1 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan or a 9-inch spring form round pan. In a mixing bowl combine butter, cream cheese and sugar. Beat on high until light and fluff y. Add eggs, one at a time, blending after each addition. Add oil, grapefruit rind, vanilla and milk or cream, mixing well. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to wet

mixture, just to combine. Pour into baking pan and cook for 1 hour or until toothpick comes up clean. Do not overbake. Let cake cool for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile make icing. In a medium bowl, combine grapefruit juice and powdered sugar, mixing well. If too thick, add more grapefruit juice, drops at a time. Transfer cooled cake to serving plate and drizzle with icing. Can be stored in refrigerator or at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic wrap, for several days.

Customers can order groceries online at Walmart

Customers who shop at the new Walmart Supercenter at Gateway Center and the San Tan Gateway North location at 1175 Arizona Ave. now have an added bonus: the option to order groceries online.

e two Chandler locations offer the online program, called Walmart Grocery, which is available at www.walmart. com/grocery.

“It’s been great,” said Daniel Lammes, store manager of the new Gateway Center store at 3460 W. Chandler, located on the northwest corner of Chandler and the Loop 101. e store opened in early March. “We’re getting about three to five orders a day, and the customers love it.”

ZIP code on the website, then are prompted to register, place an order and schedule a pickup time. ey receive a phone call when the order is ready. Once the customer arrives at the designated pickup area, a store associate will load the order into the

“It’s drawn a lot of attention. It’s a great way for people to stop and shop when they don’t have time to do it.”

Walmart is testing the online program in markets throughout the country and at five Valley-area locations, including two stores in Mesa and one in Scottsdale. Walmart started the concept in San Jose, then initiated it in Denver, Bensonville, Arkansas, where the company is headquartered, and now Phoenix and Huntsville, Alabama.

To order, customers punch in their

customer’s vehicle. e service requires a $30 minimum order. is service is all about customer convenience and saving them time, according to Ravi Jariwala, Walmart spokesman. Parents often need to take their children with them everywhere in the car, and include them in the time-consuming logistics of grocery shopping, Jariwala said. Parents place children in and out of car seats, put them in shopping carts, and walk around the store shopping for groceries, Jariwala said.

“What can take two hours now can be done in 5 to 10 minutes,” Jariwala said.

“It’s really about choice. We know that some customers just don’t have the time. If I know I am driving by Walmart, I can phone in the order, let them know when I am arriving, call when I’m there and (my groceries) can be loaded within 5 minutes,” Jariwala said.

“And the prices online are the same as in the store. ere is no price markup.”

Items in a single order will be separated and stored in an appropriate storage area. Ice cream will be loaded in a freezer, milk and yogurt in a refrigerated unit, and canned goods in an ambient area.

“When you place the order, the items get pulled and collected,” Jariwala said.

Jariwala said the service has worked well in test markets with customers sending in small orders barely over the minimum of $30 to larger orders, extending beyond several hundreds of dollars.

“It is a test market and the hope is to expand our test market so that more stores are participating,” Jariwala said.

Mike Kallner, executive vice president of leasing for RED Development, said in a prepared statement that Walmart Supercenter at Chandler Gateway “offers a new level of convenience and service for customers” in addition to new jobs. Chandler Gateway is a joint venture between RED Development and American Realty.

Jill Jones, marketing director for Chandler Gateway, said that as a parent who lives in Chandler, she likes the idea. “I would love the convenience of being able to stop and pick up groceries without having to get out of the car with my kids.” e concept works well for stayat-home parents who are too busy with afterschool activities or prefer to spend their day with their children, and they don’t want to spend a lot of the daytime hours shopping, Lammes said.

“It’s drawn a lot of attention. It’s a great way for people to stop and shop when they don’t have time to do it.”
