Southbridge II referendum remains on Scottsdale ballot after judge’s ruling

Alison Steinbach

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Scottsdale’s Southbridge II development is set to remain on the November ballot after a judge ruled the petition signatures gathered were valid.

After the City Council narrowly approved zoning for the project in

December, critics quickly launched a campaign to collect enough voter signatures to send the proposed development to a public vote.

A group of residents opposed to the project submitted more than 17,000 signatures in early January, an estimated 14,807 of which were certifi ed by the See SOUTHBRIDGE, Page 4

city and Maricopa County Recorder’s Offi ce as valid. That exceeded the 11,930 required to force a referendum election.

But the developer, Carter Unger, fi led a challenge in Maricopa County Superior Court, arguing many signatures were invalid for a variety of reasons. In the weeks proceeding a hearing last Wednesday, attorneys from both sides boiled those reasons down to one: the question of whether petition circulators need to take a verbal oath when confi rming their sheets, in addition to a written declaration.

Judge Timothy Thomason decided Thursday that such a spoken oath was not required by the language of the statutes, ruling the signatures valid. The measure remains on the ballot, although it could face an appeal from Unger’s attorney.

The legal debate before Thomason centered on the question of whether the required “oath” accompanying the validation of circulators’ signature documents needs to be verbal.

Kory Langhofer, Unger’s attorney, argued that referendum eff orts deserve the highest standard of strict compli-

ance with the law, so oral oaths are necessary. He said a referendum must have a higher bar because it’s a minority of voters trying to “stall and overturn” a decision made by elected city offi cials.

“When you have to raise your right hand and look someone in the eye and swear to tell the truth, that is a solemn and formal act that calls for sobriety and caution in your statements,” Langhofer said.

He argued that because petition circulators did not take an oral oath but just signed declarations, they may have been more “casual” in agreeing that they had met the signature-collecting requirements.

“They sign them, they’re false, they never think about them being false, they never bother to read it carefully,” he said.

But Timothy La Sota, the attorney defending the petitions, said the law is not written to say the oath needs to be verbal. Instead, he said, it’s a written oath.

He said the declaration that petition circulators sign on the pages has all the necessary language already, making a spoken oath unnecessary and redundant. The documents are signed before a notary and under penalty of perjury, he said.

Extending Langhofer’s argument would mean nothing in writing was valSee SOUTHBRIDGE, Page 5

id unless you raised your right hand and swore to it under verbal oath, he said.

“The clear absence of any mention of right hand or that the oath may be verbal — I think that’s clear indication that that is not required,” La Sota said.

Thomason last Wednesday seemed skeptical of the practicality of applying the argued need for verbal oaths more broadly.

“How do we enforce that? How do we know whether it’s a good affi davit or a bad affi davit because don’t we need to know there was an oral oath?,” he asked Langhofer.

“You’d be requiring the practice to change. Because let’s be honest here, this isn’t happening. When affi davits are signed, you and I both know that the notaries are not administering oral oaths,” Thomason said.

Langhofer said that in most affi davit situations, there would be no reason to question the truth of what’s said. But here, he said, there were allegations that “a lot of the people on these petition sheets didn’t do what the affi davit said happened.” So, petition circulators should be forced to raise their right hand and take an oath, and these signatures should be invalid because they did not, he contended.

“The circulators who sign are swearing that the things attested to are true, under penalty of perjury,” Thomason wrote in his opinion. “That is all the statute requires. There is no additional

requirement for a verbal oath.”

Thomason ruled that the written oath is all that’s necessary, meaning there are enough valid signatures.

What’s planned for Southbridge II If approved by voters in November, the project plans to revitalize the Old Town canal area by connecting boutique shops on Fifth Avenue to the original Southbridge project to the south, opened by Unger’s father in 2007, and the Scottsdale Waterfront to the north.

Plans for the roughly $750 million, 10-acre project include: ❚ A 150-foot hotel with 200 rooms. ❚ A 128-foot offi ce tower with 119,000 square feet of offi ce space. ❚ Five residential condo buildings with 570 combined units. ❚ 78,520 square feet of retail space. ❚ Amenities such as pocket parks and an urban grocery marketplace/food hall.

Around 70% of the project’s 2 million square feet is undeveloped, but the rest involves redevelopment, including demolition of some shops along Fifth Avenue, Sixth Avenue and Stetson Drive.

Critics and some council members have raised concerns about the project’s height, density and parking, but Unger has said he’ll continue to work with residents and the city and insisted “we’re going to do good by Scottsdale.”

Charges dropped against woman who sent man 159K texts Perry Vandell

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Stalking and criminal trespassing charges have been dropped against a woman accused of sending over 159,000 text messages to a man with whom she went on one date.

Jacqueline Ades has been incarcerated in a county jail since May 2018 when police said she continued to stalk a Paradise Valley man after a single date, broke into his home and sent thousands of text messages to him over the course of 10 months, including some in which she threatened to wear his fl esh and devour his organs, according to Maricopa County court records.

Police say Ades began threatening the man after Paradise Valley offi cers escorted her off his property in July 2017. One text read, “I’d wear ur fascia n the top of ur skull n ur hands n feet,” referring to the connective tissue that encloses muscles and organs.

Ades’ court-appointed attorney, Matthew Leathers, requested Rule 11 hearings for his client in March 2019, allowing mental-health professionals to evaluate Ades’ mental competency and abil-

ity to understand the charges against her and assist in her defense.

Ades’ charges were ultimately dismissed on March 10 after she was Ades deemed to be mentally incompetent and non-restorable. Leathers told The Arizona Republic he agreed with the court’s decision.

“I feel that justice was served,” Leathers said. “Obviously, she’s mentally ill, and I hope that she’s able to get the necessary treatment.”

Leathers said Ades would be transported from jail to Valleywise Behavioral Health Center, where she’d stay for about a week or two. Leathers said he maintains weekly contact with her parents, who plan to pick her up from Valleywise and move her back to Florida, where she’ll receive additional treatment.

Ades is still barred from contacting the man she’s accused of stalking or returning to his home in Paradise Valley.

There’s really a reason to think ‘only in Scottsdale’ Your Turn Jim McAllister Guest columnist

AR-PHX0020444-06

To paraphrase the late, great songwriter George Gershwin: “I’ve got Scottsdale/Who could ask for anything more?”

We hear “Only in Scottsdale” comments usually from those suff ering from “Scottsdale Envy.” If you live here, you know they are really saying, “Gosh, I sure wish I lived in Scottsdale!” Where else is there a city that preserves its classy individuality along with the ability to laugh at itself?

Remember the “Tuesday Night Book Club,” a CBS “reality” show that ran for two episodes in 2006? Calling it “reality” would be stretching the truth.

The premise was for some Scottsdale ladies to meet weekly to discuss recent books they had read. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much book talk but plenty said about sex and gossip. Besides, only a couple of the women were even from Scottsdale, and while the meeting place was supposed to be the home of one of the ladies, it was actually a rental used only for the show. CBS did well getting through two episodes before the inevitable cancellation.

In February 2010, Scottsdale decided that with the population explosion to the north, it would make sense to widen Pima Road north of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. It was a great idea, as twolane Pima was becoming a bottleneck south of Pinnacle Peak Road.

Today, Pima runs smoothly with its extra lanes to and from Dynamite Road.

However, that doesn’t mean that the fi nal result was obtained without construction diffi culties that are typical with extensive roadwork.

The construction, with its many barricades, became reminiscent of riding the roller coaster at an amusement park. The barricades were changed regularly to accommodate the construction, but every day was a new adventure, especially for cell phone users as they had to actually pay attention to their driving. Fortunately, it fi nally was

worth the hassle.

Can anyone name another city with public art displayed on its freeway walls? Scottsdale has it, plus when it fi rst received complaints about the Loop 101 road surface making an annoying sound from car tires, the city applied a special rubber surface to the road that quickly ended those complaints. I doubt if many cities would have been so accommodating.

Can you name which city was the fi rst to use the fancy one-armed garbage collection trucks we see today? If you said “Scottsdale,” you may go to the head of the class. When compared with art covered freeway walls, garbage collection doesn’t seem very romantic, but having the “Godzilla” truck come by weekly to empty two large containers on wheels sure beats dragging several cans to the curb on garbage day.

Unfortunately, into every life some rain must fall, even in Scottsdale. With the economy foundering a few years ago, Scottsdale had to announce some cutbacks in city services. The City Council at that time was looking for some viable method to increase revenue, and one suggestion was to sell advertising space on city owned property.

They may have actually done that somewhere in town that I don’t know about, but the fi rst thing I thought of was the possibility of a large billboard on the edge of town reading, “Welcome to Scottsdale, brought to you by Walmart!”

As far as rain actually falling rather than metaphorically, one of the fun pastimes in Scottsdale before a bridge was built was to visit the Indian Bend Wash between Hayden and Scottsdale roads during a heavy rainfall to watch some people try to navigate their cars through the rushing water. It was an expensive proposition for them to pay the towing charge plus a fi ne from the city for acting a few levels below what most would consider normal intelligence.

“Only in Scottsdale” seemed appropriate.

It’s hard not to giggle when you’re talking to a puppet and it’s really hard to stop once you get going. So, quite understandably, 16-year-old Nelly is all giggles while building a hand puppet at Puppet Pie, a wondrous workshop operated by Stacey Gordon, who portrays Julia, a four-year-old female Muppet with autism, on the children's television series Sesame Street.

Creating a puppet character checks a lot of boxes for Nelly – it’s creative, it’s crafty, it’s fanciful and it’s fun.

Nelly loves doing arts and crafts projects – a passion that has endured since she was featured in a Wednesday’s Child profi le two years ago.

“Since then she has grown a lot,” says Brianna, a child-specifi c adoption recruiter with Aid to Adoption of Special Kids (AASK). “She has grown into a beautiful young woman and she is fi nding more things that make Nelly Nelly.”

Those things that make Nelly Nelly include listening to music, dancing and learning to ride a horse named Princess.

“Nelly embraces life and new experiences,” says Brianna.

Now that she is a teen, Nelly likes being a contributor to the household.

“She now likes to help making dinner, helping with chores,” Brianna says.

Brianna says Nelly would fi t into almost any family – single parent, two parent, older siblings, younger siblings – as long as it is a house fi lled with patience and unconditional love.

“Nelly has unique needs and the family that would be the best fi t would be one that would be able to see things from Nelly’s perspective,” Brianna says.

Trustee responsibilities and impact of new law Estate Planning Louis Silverman Guest columnist

I am the trustee, appointed by my sister, of three trusts that were created for her children upon her death. Each trust has over $500,000. My sister never asked me if I would be the trustee. Her children are greedy, demanding and overall diffi cult. I don’t want to do this anymore. What can I do? — Marguerite in Sun City.

Marguerite, you pose some interesting questions here. First, a person should not be appointed as a trustee without their consent. It’s never a good idea to appoint someone in your estate plan with a fi duciary role—trustee, agent, etc.—without telling them and getting their permission.

Secondly, if you are appointed as a trustee, you are not required to accept the position, and if you are currently serving, you may always resign. The trust will have provisions governing the process of resignation. You should read the trust to determine the procedure.

And, fi nally, because an appointed trustee may not accept the position, I always recommend appointing one or even two alternates. It’s a good idea to consider corporate trustees or private fi duciary companies as an alternate just in case the people you appoint don’t want to be a trustee.

The largest asset in my estate is my IRA. I’m concerned how the new law affects how my children will receive their inheritances. Charles in Scottsdale.

Charles, the new law you’re referring to is the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act, known as the SECURE Act. This became eff ective on Jan.1. It changes a benefi ciary’s distribution period from a lifetime stretch-out, based on the benefi ciary’s life expectancy, to require that the entire balance of the asset be distributed within 10 years of the death of the participant/owner.

If you are appointed as a trustee, you are not required to accept the position, and if you are currently serving, you may always resign.

There is no requirement that distributions be taken every year, so long as the entire account is distributed by the end of the 10-year period following the death of the participant/owner. The distributions are taxable as ordinary income.

The larger the IRA inheritance, the greater the tax burden on the benefi ciary. In addition, whereas under previous law, the inherited IRA would be creditor protected for the lifetime of the benefi ciary, less the required annual distributions, under the new law, the IRA will terminate no later than 10 years and all distributions will be subject to the benefi ciary’s creditors.

There are several strategies to off set the potential tax burden and loss of creditor protection. From the tax standpoint, advisors are suggesting Roth conversions, because inherited Roth IRAs are not taxable. In addition, acquiring life insurance payable to the benefi ciaries will help off set tax burdens.

Finally, from a creditor protection standpoint, the IRA may be held in a trust for the benefi ciary. If structured properly, the trust could accumulate required distributions rather than pay them to the benefi ciary. The trust will pay the income tax, often at a rate higher than the benefi ciary’s. So, the tradeoff is potentially more tax vs. long-term creditor protection.

Because the SECURE Act is so new, additional strategies are being explored, and I will update this column periodically.

Do what you can with what you’ve got — that is where I started. Incrementally learning about legislation and all its complexities. Frustrated at times, I found myself wondering, “What do legislators really do, anyway?”

Turns out, most times, to fi nd the right answer, you’ve got to ask the right person. It’s not often we have the opportunity to walk a mile in someone’s shoes. I shadowed state Rep. Charlene Fernandez for the day, and my Apple watch clocked us at 3:00.

Not going to lie — I’d come to the day with a preconceived notion of formality.

Assuming it’d be all suits and ties, shortly realizing the reality was more blisters and bloodied heels.

I entered Rep Fernandez’s offi ce and she greeted me with a warm smile, wearing a polka-dot top and black slacks with a blazer over top. Fernandez has a comfortable energy about her. She is positive and engaged in every conversation.

“Let’s start walking,” she says, and that we did.

The fi rst stop on our tour de Capitol was a Democratic caucus. “Caucus” is a bigger word than it needs to be; it means “a gathering of political individuals,” (aka meeting).

Here I am, soaking it all in and observing as Rep. Athena Salman walks in and the room lights up. I’d learned later that she had been working tirelessly on a bill that earlier that day she was able to defend against its opponents. Smiles and cheers fi lled the room and her face brightened with each supportive gesture. This was the fi rst instance where I felt the overwhelming camaraderie between the Democratic representatives.

Every room entered seemed to be fi lled with superhumans. Their innate

intellectual abilities left me in awe. Every bill brought forward met challenging and thought-out questions about its community impact.

Outside the more formal rooms is where all the fun happens. Fernandez is the minority leader of the Arizona House, which brings more responsibility. She meets with other representatives throughout the week to talk about bills they’re working on, challenges they’re having and how she can support them. Those were private meetings, but allowed me to be a fl y on the wall within the shared offi ces of other representatives.

I saw the friendly side of Rep Alma Hernandez. She brings a lightheartedness to the room with her inviting personality and playful jokes, reminding me of a close friend. Rep. Aaron Lieberman is a caring intellectual; he speaks with intention and cause. Rep Jennifer Longman and Dr. Amish Shah jovially speak on their brother-sister bond.

Their offi ces being only feet apart illuminates their constant nag/love relationship and brings boisterous laughter from their administrative counterparts.

What struck me the most was the raw genuine and uncanny sense of kinship I felt. Fernandez introduced me to every person we passed on our gallivant through the Capitol, party members on both sides, security offi cers, administrative assistants … the list goes on.

There is a lot of hope that exists in the state Capitol. It is in the laughs shared between admins on hold, the cheerfulness between offi ce-mates and the unconditional respect seen between one another. All in all, the day brought forth many things, the most resonating being how proud I am of the Arizona House of Representatives and the direction our state is headed toward.

My advice to you is to reach out and get involved, try to understand the inner workings of government and how to ally yourself with people fi ghting for the cause. And if you do get an opportunity, shadow a legislator.

People still visited Scottdale's entertainment district on March 15 despite official advice to stay home in attempts to slow the spread of novel coronavirus.

CHELSEA CURTIS/THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

Some Arizonans head outside despite coronavirus threat Chelsea Hofmann and Chelsea Curtis Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

The world reacted to a number of new coronavirus cases across Arizona and the country this past week.

People were urged to practice social distancing in hopes of mitigating the further spread of the disease. Events and concerts were canceled, universi-

ties moved classes online, employees hunkered down to work from home and all Arizona schools were instructed to close beginning Monday.

However, some Phoenix-area residents disregarded the federal Centers for Disease Control’s social distancing recommendation over the weekend. Instead of staying home, they headed outSee OUTSIDE, Page 14

side to enjoy brunch with friends or shop at a local farmers market.

“I think a lot of people are scared,” Queen Creek resident Ilen Arevalo said.

“Then again, if you wash your hands every day, you’re clean and you’re healthy, then you shouldn’t have a problem.”

Arevalo spent her Sunday afternoon in Scottsdale’s entertainment district.

She described it as “a ghost town” Sunday afternoon, which she said likely could be attributed to coronavirus concerns.

Gabby Wagner of Chandler and Francisco Ruiz of Mesa also noted that the district was quieter than normal.

“People are afraid to leave their house, let alone come to brunch,” said Wagner.

She explained that the pair had brunch at Bevvy and then planned to mingle at other bars in the area.

Bevvy General Manager Cameron Byram said the business was steady despite some choosing to stay home amid coronavirus concerns. The company has since implemented preventative measures, including making employees who go near food wear gloves, cleaning and sanitizing, and keeping soap and paper towels stocked.

“I’m actually going through double the paper towels and double the soap, which means people are actually being attentive and smart about washing their

hands,” he said. “Which makes me happy and makes me feel better as a human being.”

While neither Wagner nor Ruiz were afraid of contracting COVID-19, they said they were mostly worried about how people were reacting to the disease, specifi cally panic-shopping and possible closures that could aff ect the economy.

The pair said they would not make at stop at Riot House or El Hefe on Sunday because a Riot House employee with a “communicable disease” briefl y visited two nightclubs in the area earlier this month. A professional cleaning company has since cleaned Riot House and El Hefe, a company spokesperson previously said.

“After the news broke there, I think people are probably staying clear of those places right now,” said Ruiz.

Both restaurants remained open Sunday. Riot House looked relatively empty shortly after noon, while El Hefe had a handful of customers.

“Our customers have been amazing,” spokeswoman Lissa Druss told The Arizona Republic. “We took precautions out of an abundance of caution and are now in uncharted waters. We want to make one thing perfectly clear: There is nothing more important than the health and safety of our employees and our customers.”

These Arizona men will be on ‘The Bachelorette’ KiMi Robinson

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Two athletic men from Arizona will soon move into the “Bachelor” mansion near Los Angeles and compete for “Bachelorette” Clare Crawley’s fi nal rose.

In a photo gallery on Facebook, the show introduced Bachelor Nation to 32 men from across North America who will be part of Season 16 of “The Bachelorette.” (This casting reveal before fi lming has become a go-to method for the franchise to crowd-source information that could make contestants ineligible, such as current relationships or inappropriate conduct.)

Two cast members live in Arizona: Demar J., a 26-year-old from Scottsdale, and 30-year-old Blake Monar (one of two Blake M.’s) from Phoenix.

Based on hundreds of comments left on their pictures, Demar (whom many call “DJ”) appears to be an indoor cycling instructor whose name is Demar Jackson, and Monar evidently was a former minor league baseball player who is originally from Indiana.

An Instagram account appearing to belong to Jackson shows that he is from San Diego and attended Arizona State University for his undergraduate studies and Clemson University for his master of science degree. Jackson also appears in a photo posted on The Madison Scottsdale’s Instagram account.

Parking lots at popular hiking spots Piestewa Peak and Papago Park were packed with cars most of Sunday afternoon.

Gail and Scott Currier of Olivehurst, California, took a hike at South Mountain Park and Preserve in Phoenix because it appeared to be less crowded.

“I’m 70 and he’s close to being 70,” Gail said when asked why they were avoiding crowds. “A month ago, I had pneumonia, so I could be more susceptible to the coronavirus for sure.”

The Curriers were being cautious during their travels to Arizona and Las Vegas to visit family. They avoided crowded restaurants by eating in their car and not shaking hands with people.

Pima County Health Department Director Bob England said people can still live their lives so long as they “use common sense” and wash their hands. He added that being outdoors was less risky for droplet spread than being indoors.

“I’m borderline in the higher risk myself — I’m in my 60s and I’ve had asthma all my life — so I’m probably not going to go partying. ... I’m going to be doing less interaction, but I’m not going drop it completely,” he said. “If there’s an outdoor art fair or something going on, I’m still fi ne with that.”

A third person in Pima County was identifi ed by county health offi cials on Sunday as having the new coronavirus, bringing Arizona’s total to 13.

Health offi cials have encouraged people to adopt “social distancing” as a precautionary measure. Doing so can help stop coronavirus transmission by slowing the rate the infection spreads, which eases the burden on the health care system.

England explained it’s one of the most eff ective ways to slow the spread.

“The whole point to all of this isn’t to try to stop — it’s to slow the transmission down so that everybody doesn’t get sick all at once and overwhelm the health care system,” he said.

Implementing extra precautions On Saturday morning, the crowd was thick at a farmers market located on the southeast corner of Bethany Home

Road and Central Avenue in Phoenix.

Uptown Farmers Market in Phoenix announced Friday in a statement posted to Instagram that the biweekly event would stay open to give food vendors the opportunity to sell and off er local food to the community.

“Many events have started cancelling, citing ‘the responsible thing to do,’ ” organizers said in the statement.

“Those events involve cars, books, sports, etc., and we are in full support of decreasing exposure in that way. However, we are a grocery store. Folks come to us for their food, their nourishment.

In this way, we feel we are in the opposite position: That the responsible thing for us to do is to continue to remain open,” the statement said.

Tyler Boland, an employee for Garden Goddess, said the market was busier earlier than usual, with a line of people ready to enter when it opened at 8 a.m. He said the rush typically comes around 10 a.m. and that he was already sold out of the majority of his stock of sauerkraut and a popular beet tonic by noon.

“It feels great to see all the customers coming at a time like this,” Boland said.

“This is why we need the farmers market.”

Sue Mangu, a community resident and longtime attendee of the local farmers markets, said she was glad to see the market would still be open, as many businesses throughout the Valley announce temporary closures.

“This would be my fi rst choice,” Mangu said. “We have to keep our local people in business. They’re going to be the fi rst ones to fall — the small businesses.”

Extra precautions were put in place, including “sanitation areas” with hand sanitizer set up on either side of the market. An attendant periodically sanitized the area.

“We hope our new sinks arrive before Saturday, but if they don’t, there will be next Saturday,” the statement from the market said.

Social aspects of the market, like sample tastings, community dining spaces and bounce houses, were temporarily postponed. Vendors were also instructed to stock “to go” containers, and wash their hands in between each transaction.

Uptown Farmers Market will remain open as long as allowed, organizers said.

They’re working to develop a system that will allow the market to continue serving the community in the event of a closure.

Social Security pointers for household workers Social Security Jack Burns Guest columnist

Do you plan to pay a cleaning person, cook, gardener, babysitter or other household workers at least $2,200 in 2020? This amount includes any cash you pay for your household employee’s transportation, meals and housing. If you will pay at least $2,200 to one person, you have some additional fi nancial responsibilities.

When you pay at least $2,200 in wages to a household worker, you must do all of the following: ❚ Deduct Social Security and Medicare taxes from those wages. ❚ Pay these taxes to the Internal Rev-

enue Service. ❚ Report the wages to Social Security.

For every $2,200 in wages, most household employees earn credits toward Social Security benefi ts and Medicare coverage. To learn more about credits, see “How your household worker earns credits for Social Security” below. Generally, people need 10 years of work to qualify for: ❚ Retirement benefi ts (as early as age 62). ❚ Disability benefi ts for the worker and the worker’s dependents. ❚ Survivors benefi ts for the worker’s family. ❚ Medicare benefi ts.

You can learn more about reporting household worker income at ssa.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10021.pdf.

Design Transfigured/Waste Reimagined: “Design Transfigured/Waste Reimagined” is the first exhibition to recognize designers using extreme and inventive upcycling to address the current state of our depleted and polluted

environment. Waste produced by humans is so abundant that it is disrupting natural resources. In order to reduce our footprint on earth, these 30 international designers and studios -- from Asia, Latin America and Europe -- are pioneering a new direction in design by radically transforming waste into useful products. Many of the designers are recent graduates or faculty of design academies and universities, noting a shift in the world of design and design education, from function at the service of aesthetic considerations to socially responsible, environmental remediation.

Victoria the T. rex: Victoria, the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton touring the world, is making her global debut at Arizona Science Center with a special exhibition that opens to the public on November 17. This world premiere exhibition will transport guests to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth,

bringing to life one of the most important discoveries in the history of paleontology and giving museum visitors the rare opportunity to visit the Cretaceous period where Victoria’s story will unfold in her natural habitat. Victoria the T. rex is the second most complete T. rex skeleton on record. Initially unearthed in 2013, Victoria has undergone years of meticulous research and restoration in order to earn this claim. Victoria’s completeness and unique pathologies have provided paleontologists with a wealth of insights that will be studied for years to come. The exhibit explores every facet of Victoria’s life and death, including the unusual battle scars that may have led to her death, and her role as a mother. With Victoria’s striking, pristinely maintained skeleton as a focal feature, the exhibition uses stunning animations and immersive digital environments and merges them with the latest paleontological findings to create an educational, emotional experience unlike any other.

According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging, men and women with hearing loss are much more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease. People with severe hearing loss, the study reports, were 5 times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing.

Have you noticed a change in your ability to remember?

“The more hearing loss you have, the greater the likelihood of developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Hearing aids could delay or prevent dementia by improving the patient’s hearing.”

-2011 Study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging
