Across EV, high school students plead for help BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

ast Valley high school students are pleading for help. From Scottsdale to Gilbert and Mesa to Ahwatukee, students in the past three months have appeared before governing boards to plead for more social workers and counselors to protect their classmates – not only from a teen who may be a walking time bomb but also from themselves. “Make this issue treated as the epidemic it is,” implored Gilbert High senior Evan Wood at a recent Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board meeting.

In response to those concerns, the GPS school board last week endorsed a resolution calling on the State Legislature to allocate more money for social workers and counselors. Tempe Union High School District and Mesa Public Schools have adopted resolutions supporting the need for giving students mental and emotional health services, but their governing boards made no specific demands on legislators and said such services are a shared responsibility among all levels of government. Tempe Union went one step further than Mesa by recommending the creation of “student peer safety review committees at each of its seven schools to work with administrators

and “examine the social/emotional and physical safety needs of students and through their efforts, be in a position to make recommendations to strengthen and prioritize our work around school safety and for the social/emotional wellness of all students.” Whether the legislature will respond to the students’ pleas is unclear. It failed to even give a hearing to bills in the House and Senate calling for more counselors even though students converged on the State Capitol last month to explain their plight in person. In the meantime, high school students have spoken at times in anguish over how they not

Waymo self-driving into the East Valley fast lane BY JASON STONE Tribune Contributor

xactly how many vehicles are in the fleet is anybody’s guess. The number of jobs it brings to the East Valley is kept hushhush. And where service is going next and when that will happen is still a closely guarded secret. But nobody can dispute the potential impact Waymo self-driving cars could one day have for Chandler, the East Valley and even Arizona as a whole. If you’ve seen one of those vans moving around the East Valley roads, you’re seeing drivers working out the kinks and passengers giving their feedback on how to make the rides better in the future. That select group of testers is rating the performance of the vans through the Early Rider Program, and others have advanced to the new Waymo One program in hundreds of its minivans across Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Ahwatukee.

Waymo One is essentially a “traditional” ride-sharing service with a driverless van picking you up. The only catch right now is that a human is sitting in the driver seat to take over in case anything goes wrong. Waymo’s development originally began in 2009 as the Google Self-Driving Car Project.

only deal with their own personal issues but try to help classmates who turn to them for help. “I’ve had around 10 or 15 students in the past four months that have come up to me and said, ‘I am either extremely depressed and I hurt myself physically’ or ‘I’m having suicidal thoughts,’” Desert Vista High School student body President H. Margret Braun told the Tempe Union school board in December. “What should I do?” she continued. “I have no background as to how to deal with things like that.” The students are members of the Arizona chapter of March for Our Lives – the national student-driven organization started by survivors of the Valentine’s Day 2018 high school massacre in Parkland, Florida, that took the lives of 15 high school students and two adults and wounded 17 others. In virtually every presentation before the boards of Tempe Union, Chandler Unified, Scottsdale Unified, GPS and Mesa Public Schools, the students said they knew classmates who talked of taking their life – or feared troubled ones who might take theirs. “School shooters are really a fear and suicide is a really big concern,” said Jordan Harb, a senior at Mountain View High School in Mesa and executive director of the statewide March for Our Lives chapter. “A threat is not necessarily outside; the threat can be sitting beside someone in class.” At a time when the ratio of counselors to students in many schools is anywhere from 1 to 500 and up, the students’ resolution asks for enough money to support one counselor for every 250 students, one social worker for every 400 students and one psychologist for every 500 to 700 students. At the Tempe Union meeting, Armando Montero, another Desert Vista student, presented a petition signed by 1,000 students from three Tempe Union schools in three days that asked the board to call on the governor and State Legislature to hire more counselors and social workers. The plea for more counselors comes at a time when incidents of suicide and suicide attempts are rising at an alarming rate in Arizona and throughout the country. Since July 2017, 33 East Valley teenagers have taken their lives; and another five in Scottsdale and other neighboring communities lost their lives to suicide in the same time frame. Appearing before the GPS board, former Highland High School student Trey Sequeira said, “I don’t even know if the

total number of suicides at Highland last year was two or three because they were all swept under the rug.” Then, too, there is the ever-present fear of a school shooting that has been fueled by a rash of such incidents across the country in recent years. Trey recounted how Highland last school year was put under lockdown because of a bomb threat and how students “all sat under their desks in the dark.” Once it was determined there was no bomb, he said, many students were still upset and that “there were no resources for those who were traumatized by the whole thing. Some students who appeared before the governing boards spoke from their own experience as they talked of how fractured home life exacerbates the pressures of social media and academics. “I’m one of few that can actually say I’m actually not diagnosed with mental illness, but I’d be far from telling the truth if I were to say that it hasn’t affected me greatly,” Corona del Sol High junior Tara Posely told the Tempe Union board. “Many of my friends have mental illnesses and many of my friends have attempted suicide,” she continued, recounting one friend who “came to school with a Band Aid on her head and she said that she had tripped and fell, but she later revealed that she tried to overdose and woke up with a mark on her head.” Tara was accompanied by a classmate who “said that he probably wouldn’t be sitting across the table from you today if the safety wasn’t on on his dad’s gun.” Appearing before the Mesa Public Schools Board in January, Cienna Collicott said she also has had classmates come to her for help dealing with their mental health issues. “I can’t be all my friends’ counselor, including working through my own struggles through high school,” Cienna said, adding some are harming themselves physically in their deepening anxiety and

depression. “Because I wasn’t there earlier that day to tell them, ‘Hey, don’t do that,’ they’re cutting their skin deeper and deeper and deeper to get to the pain that they desire,” Cienna said. At the January meeting of the Chandler Unified board, 2018 Basha High grad Katelyn Kennedy told of a classmate who exhibited increasingly menacing behavior throughout the whole time she was in high school, starting in freshman and sophomore year. “A lot of what he talked about was wanting to kill teachers, wanting to run away from home,” Katelyn said. “He even talked about beheading teachers.” She said she was told by administrators they would talk to him. “In my junior year, he took a plastic bag and put it around a student’s head in class,” she continued. Again, administrators said they would talk to him, she said. Then, in senior year, the same student brought a gun to school. Fortunately, he was disarmed before any tragedy occurred. At the same meeting, Abby Chandler, a student at Perry High – where at least one student in the last 18 months has taken his life – told the board: “The school shows a video once a year on how we shouldn’t kill ourselves. That doesn’t tell us we have people who care. What it tells us is to make sure we know how to hide it.” The students also talked of how counselors at their schools are overwhelmed by myriad duties – many connected with academic matters and not emotional health. Scottsdale freshman Maya Zuckerburg told the Scottsdale Unified board about a friend who needed to talk about repeated sexual harassment by a classmate: “She was terrified to go to her parents and the only person she was comfortable talking to was a counselor. Unfortunately, that was unavailable to her for two months. We made appointments and we went into the office every day during his supposedly business hours. He didn’t

Senate overwhelmingly approves suicide-prevention training BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

ith only a Gilbert and a Mesa senator voting against it, a teen suicide prevention bill was overwhelmingly passed by the State Senate last week. The bill, which moves to the House this week, requires that all school personnel dealing with students in grades 6-12 receive training every three years on how to recognize the early warning signs of teen suicide. Unbeknownst to the Senate, a Mesa mother underscored the need for that training a day earlier, Feb. 26, as she told the Mesa Public Schools Governing Board about her 14-year-old son’s suicide in August 2017. Jennifer Stewart told the board that she and her husband were concerned that their son Braxton had been a “kind, happy and gifted young man with a bright future” and that shortly after beginning his freshman year at Red Mountain High School, “his grades began to drop, and he quit turning in his assignments several times.” “I eventually reached out to his teachers for help and advice,” she said. “The response I received from his teachers, ‘this is the typical response of a gifted 14-year-

meet with her – not because he didn’t want to help, but because he was too busy with administrative duties.” Stating most counselors “are academic police” because of those duties, Jordan told the Mesa board, “School counselors are people who you can talk to about what you’re feeling. They’re people who walk you through the struggles of growing up.” Added junior Jackson Solomon: “It is not a teacher’s job to take care of these mental health issues.” Marget, the Desert Vista student, told the Tempe Union board, “For the majority of students, they don’t know who their counselor is or they don’t feel comfortable going into their counselor’s room because they’ve never had that one-on-one contact. And I’ve never had that one-onone contact with my counselor until my senior year because I’m applying to colleges.” The number of counselors employed by local school districts varies, though most said they could use more but can’t afford it. Chandler Unified employs 90 – assign-

old boy during puberty and it’s nothing to worry about.’ A few weeks later, he ended his life.” Christina Nguyen, of Project Connect 4 and a suicide prevention advocate, told the board that there have been 38 teen suicides in the East Valley since July 2017. “We have lost who you would describe as the typical American teenager, who has everything going for them on the outside,’’ Nguyen said. “Our youth are in crisis.’’ Said student Sophia Hammon: “A lot of kids are struggling and don’t know where else to turn and unfortunately many choose alternate routes by harming themselves or taking it out on others.” Sen. Sean Bowie, who sponsored the prevention bill, was buoyed by its passage. “The more this happens, the more people are engaged on this issue,’’ said Bowie, whose district includes Ahwatukee and parts of Mesa, Tempe and Chandler. “We are halfway there. We still need to get it through the House.’’ Democrat Bowie and Chandler Republican Sen. J.D. Mesnard spoke in favor the bill. The only no votes were cast by Republicans Eddie Farnsworth of Gilbert and David Farnsworth of Mesa. Eddie Farnsworth said he supports the suicide prevention training but was opposed to an indemnity provision. Bowie

ing six to nine to its high schools, two to three at junior highs and one each to 20 of its 30 elementary schools. Mesa Public Schools, the largest district in the state, employs 100 counselors and assigns an average of eight per high school. In proclaiming School Counseling Week last month, Gov. Doug Ducey acknowledged that “counselors play an invaluable role in our schools” and that more are needed in Arizona schools. “They further the educational, personal and social growth of our students – helping them navigate academic and life experiences,” Ducey said, noting that his budget provides $12 million for 112 new counselors or social workers in Arizona schools this year and promises enough funding for another 112 next year to reduce average caseloads by 17 percent. But Kyrene school Superintendent Jan Vesely told her school board that while she welcomed the governor’s effort, “you can see this as a drop in the bucket.” At an annual salary of $54,571 – without benefits – for each of those 112 counselors, she said, the governor’s proposal “would realistically only fund approximately 80-some positions through-

said he is working with Farnsworth to address his concerns. Bowie said that most school districts in the East Valley are either meeting or exceeding the bill’s requirements. The bill is largely based upon the Tempe Union High School District as a template. Tempe Union, which has seen at least three students take their lives in the past four years, trained more than 800 employees. While the bill creates a minimum standard for suicide prevention throughout the state, Bowie said he also hopes school districts will exceed those standards and develop more expertise on the issue. “You ask parents and teachers about it, and most common comment is, ‘It’s about time,’’’ Bowie said. Similar bipartisan support is expected in the House as Rep. Jeff Weninger, RChandler and Rep. Mitzi Epstein, D-Tempe, are among the co-sponsors. “Our young people are taking their lives, when they are just starting their lives,’’ Mesnard said. “I can’t think of anything more tragic than when a child does this.’’ A senior at Mesa’s Westwood High School told the Mesa school board last week, “At my school or just about any school you go to, you hear kids in the hallways saying like, I can’t wait to die, can’t

out the state of Arizona. “Currently, there are 2,042 public schools in Arizona. So theoretically this would provide one additional counselor for about five percent of the public schools in Arizona,” Vesely added. Chandler state Rep. Jennifer Pawlik and Ahwatukee state Sen. Sean Bowie, whose districts cover portions of most of the East Valley school districts, have sponsored identical bills in the legislature requiring all public and charter schools to hire one counselor for every 500 students. But the bills died for lack of a hearing in either chamber. “The individual bills themselves are not advancing, mainly because of the price tag,” Bowie said. “We are, however, actively trying to get more funding for counselors in the overall budget. It’s in our budget ask. Hopeful we can get additional funds there – the governor did include some funding for counselors in his budget proposal, but we are hoping to secure more. Arizona came up short on mental health provisions for children and teens in a broad study released this year on how states are meeting the goals set in 2013

wait to kill myself, things like that as jokes and it has gotten to the point where people can no longer tell if these kids are joking.” Parent Hillary Whalen, a Mountain View High School graduate and mother of five, called attention to a Feb. 1 suicide by a teen at her alma mater. “We are in a public health crisis,” she said. “We need a comprehensive, ongoing program that is best-practice and evidence-based that is the same at every school starting in fifth grade through high school. This cannot be reactive. It needs to be proactive.” Stewart lamented the absence of training when addressing the Mesa board. She said during her late son’s freshman orientation, “there was a lot of talk about schedules, dress codes, which I didn’t see enforced at all, and a multitude of forms to fill out in triplicate regarding home addresses and bus schedules, but not one mention of mental health, not one pamphlet or talk about suicide warning signs, the pressure of transitioning to high school and college prep or how to handle bullying.” “Two days after Braxton died, suicide helpline stickers went on the back of all the student ID badges. It’s a little too late if you ask me,” she added. “I don’t need a tutorial on researching my child’s grades if my child is dead.’’

by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Called the “Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model,” the CDC set guidelines for policies and regulations that would address a broad spectrum of physical, emotional and mental health needs of kids. “States with the least comprehensive coverage of counseling, psychological, and social services topics include Arizona, Ohio, and South Dakota. These states also tend toward less comprehensive policies, generally,” said the study, performed by the University of Illinois at Chicago, the National Child Trends, ENT Associates and the National Association of State Boards of Education. Such deficiencies are wearing on many East Valley students. As Emily McDougal, the Basha senior who knew the student who brought the gun to school, told the Chandler board: “It’s mentally draining. It makes it harder to focus in school and feel secure. I want to be able to walk into my classroom and focus on what I’m going to learn that day rather than be sidetracked by what’s mentally plaguing me.”

Overcoming the costs of hearing loss Connect Hearing, a national hearing care provider, is leading the charge to make quality hearing solutions more affordable for Americans suffering from hearing loss. 48 million Americans are significantly affected by hearing loss, and yet, just 14 percent of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them.1 Studies have shown that the cost of hearing aids is a huge reason that many have not adopted them. Unfortunately, this leaves tens of millions of Americans feeling isolated, frustrated, and earning lower incomes2 due to decreased effectiveness in the workplace. It also increases risks of depression, decline in memory and concentration, and early-onset dementia.3 More than 100 years ago, Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind, explained the isolation caused by hearing loss:

In good news, Connect Hearing, a leading national network of hearing care centers, has worked with a world leading hearing aid manufacturer to ensure that advanced hearing solutions are available to all, regardless of their financial means. This has led to the limited release of the NovaSense EliteTM hearing aid at the special price of $499. This includes custom programming to suit each wearer’s unique hearing needs. Connect Hearing is also offering a 45-day satisfaction guarantee and do not charge for hearing evaluations and fitting services. This program has been met with great enthusiasm by Connect Hearing’s dedicated team, including Doctor of Audiology, Pauline Dinnauer, who says, “It is great to work for an organization that is working for all Americans with hearing loss.” According to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine 2Sergei Kochkin PhD (2005), The Impact of Untreated Hearing Loss on Household Income 3Lin et al (2011), Hearing Loss and Incident Dementia, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Agreement on back rent may delay racing school takeover BY PAUL MARYNIAK Executive Editor

n internationally known East Valley racing school apparently will get a month’s reprieve from losing its facilities to its landlord. Valley motorsport legend Bob Bondurant and his wife reached an agreement with an economic development arm of the Gila River Indian Community to extend to April 1 a deadline for paying $245,402 in back rent, according to papers filed in federal bankruptcy court on Feb. 27. The judge must still sign off on the agreement, but she initially had approved a request by Sun Valley Development Corp. to allow it to take over the track if the back rent wasn’t paid by March 1. “The additional 30 days will enable the debtor to continue its operations, meet its obligations to its students and partners, and achieve an outcome that will be more advantageous for creditors than turnover of the leased premises, and Sun Valley will not be prejudiced by the additional time,” the Bondurants’ lawyers said in a court filing. If the takeover had occurred March 1,

according to the judge’s initial order, the school would have also lost nearly 80 high-performance cars with a total value of more than $9 million. The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving back rent owed to Sun Valley Marina Development Corp. is part of a massive $3.3 million in debt that has driven the operation into federal bankruptcy court since last summer, court records show. Sun Valley Marina Development Corp. owns the former Firebird Raceway next to the school and has been working for several years to upgrade the 500-acre venue, now called Wild Horse Motorsports Park, located on the reservation just off Interstate 10 south of Chandler Boulevard. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brenda K. Martin said that if the Bondurants didn’t make that rent payment by next Friday, their “lease shall be deemed rejected, and the debtor shall surrender the premises.” In addition, she ruled that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles can repossess a fleet of Vipers, Challengers, Durangos and Chargers with racing, executive, law enforcement support and other packages. “Sun Valley and the debtor will cooper-

ate with FCA in facilitating the immediate return of the FCA vehicles pursuant to an orderly process to be developed by and between Sun Valley and FCA and shall work together in returning or disposing of the other FCA items,” Martin wrote in her Feb. 15 order. But still more vehicles leased by the school may be in jeopardy. At the same time Sun Valley and Bondurant filed papers telling the judge of their agreement on delay in paying the back rent, Bancorp Bank filed a separate request with the judge for permission to repossess 23 Mazda Formula Race Cars, eight go-karts and a 2018 Shelby Cobra Coup. It said it financed lease of those vehicles and was owed $32,000 for delinquent payments for January and February. “Some or all of the vehicles and equipment remain in use on a daily basis, which is causing the vehicles and equipment to decline in value; and as a result of the decline in value, Bancorp’s interest in the vehicles and equipment is not being adequately protected,” Bancorp said. The judge has not yet ruled on that request either.

Bancorp notes that the only potential lifeline for the school, which Bondurant moved to the Valley from California in 1990, is a special “debtor in possession” loan of $674,000, court records show. Some creditors are opposing Bondurant’s request for court permission to obtain the loan because that unidentified lender would have a higher priority than other creditors if the school is forced to close and sell any remaining assets to satisfy what debts it can. Timothy Shaffer, the Scottsdale bankruptcy expert who is the school’s courtappointed chief restructuring officer, told the court in a Feb. 8 petition that the Bondurants have “been engaged in discussions and negotiations with numerous parties and groups” about that special loan, although he declined to give specifics because of confidentiality agreements. But while the petition states “the interest by many of these parties in ensuring the debtor’s continued operation has been significant,” it goes on to admit “however, despite our diligent efforts, the debtor has been unable to obtain DIP financing” under terms that some of the creditors said they would accept.

a House floor vote, Ducey aligned himself with medical professionals who testified last month that much of what Barto is pushing – which cleared the House Committee on Health and Human Services – would deter parents from vaccinating their children. And that, they warned, would endanger overall public health. Suggesting a connection between vaccinations and “terrible outcomes’’ for some children who have been inoculated, Barto said parents who do not believe vaccines are safe should be “spared’’ from the ;aw. “And they shouldn’t be treated like second-class citizens for using their constitutionally protected right to not be forced to undergo vaccinations,’’ she said. “We’re headed in that direction.’’ Townsend did not back down when questioned about the comments by Capitol Media Services. “My son’s body is sovereign,’’ she said. “The line for me is the government does not have authority to inject him with something and put him at risk,’’ Townsend said. “That’s my line.’’ And she dismissed the question of whether by not vaccinating her son against communicable diseases she puts at risk other children who cannot be immunized for medical reasons.

“Who’s more important, my son’s health or the potential (of) contracting measles which may or may not be fatal?’’ Townsend asked. “We are sovereign and ought to be able to make that decision.’’ Potentially more concerning to some is Barto’s proposal to not only expand the right of parents to claim a religious exemption but to eliminate the requirement that they first sign a form, prepared by the state Department of Health Services. That form acknowledges that they understand the implications of spurning each vaccination as well as the physical effects that getting the disease can have, up to and including paralysis and death. That same form requires parents to also acknowledge that if there is an outbreak of the disease, their children can be denied entry to school or child care. Instead, they could simply write on any sheet of paper that they are not having their children vaccinated. Townsend said she fears the state using its power to coerce parents into getting their children inoculated. “When we start having the mindset that, ‘Well you could be harmed, but we’re going to put you at risk for the greater good,’ you lose your individual rights,’’ she said.

Mesa lawmaker links vaccine mandate to Communism BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

n east Mesa legislator said she fears efforts by the government to force parents to have their children vaccinated. Republican Rep. Kelly Townsend, who has a daughter whose epilepsy she links to childhood immunizations, said she has the ultimate right to refuse to vaccinate the girl’s younger brother. “The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather Communist,’’ she wrote on her Facebook page. Townsend’s remarks came the day after Gov. Doug Ducey said he would veto any measure that he believes will result in fewer children getting vaccinated against a host of diseases. The emerging battle of mandatory vaccines comes as medical experts are expressing concern about a worldwide increase in measles cases. Ducey’s remarks came as three antivaccine measures are making their way through the State Legislature. Reacting to the governor’s veto warning, the sponsor of those bills said that her

proposals are “misunderstood.” Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, told Capitol Media Services nothing in any of the measures is designed to convince parents to opt out of state requirements to inoculate children as a condition of sending them to child care or public school. She said it simply provides information that parents need to make those decisions. While the governor never addressed the specifics of the three measures that await

WAYMO from page 1

Program last year. “Before we decided on Phoenix, we had done testing in a number of different cities,” said Dan Chu, Waymo’s head of products. “But a really rapidly growing city like Phoenix really had what we were looking for.” Much of the work Waymo does is still in secret – like many tech companies. It doesn’t give much clue on what it costs to retrofit thousands of Chrysler Pacifica minivans that are testing across the country at various cities. Nor does it reveal any specific future plans or even what kind of impact it brings to the job market. Chu can’t even guess at a reasonable expectation of when vehicles will begin making all trips without a safety driver in the seat. All they care about right now is receiving the honest feedback from the passengers who are testing out the vehicles. “It might hurt when we first read it,” Chu said. “But we want that feedback. We really want to hear what riders are learning and what they’re experiencing. Because we really feel like that’s the most important thing about our program is the endto-end feel. Until you have a rider who is experiencing it end-to-end, you can’t find out what subtleties you have to fill.” The company overall is committed to Chandler. That evidence came last year when it expanded its 39,000-square-foot warehouse to 70,000 square feet. It’s also making advancements around the world. Last May it announced a partnership with Fiat Chrysler that will add around 62,000 Pacifica minivans to the fleet. It also agreed to a deal with Jaguar Land Rover to design and engineer the world’s

first premium electric fully self-driving vehicle. Other big news for the company included the announcement of plans to build a manufacturing plant in Michigan, and it recently began testing self-driving semitrucks in Atlanta. It hasn’t been a complete smooth startup in the East Valley. In 2017, the company sued Uber over a former coworker of Waymo who had left to work at Uber. Waymo accused him of stealing information for its LiDAR technology. After a year of litigation, the two sides eventually settled for approximately $245 million. It seems one way or another, Waymo cars have people talking about the future of travel or the concept of artificial intelligence in general. Mayor Kevin Hartke last month said in his State of the City address: “We are also, as I like to say, the epicenter of autonomous vehicle development, with companies like Intel and Waymo shaping the future of transportation. Did anyone see the Waymo vehicle outside, on your way in here? It’s pretty cool, isn’t it? I’ve had the opportunity to ride in that and

I look forward to future opportunities, and tonight I want to thank Waymo for being a great partner as well as being here tonight. “Our Chandler residents are the first in the nation to ride in fully autonomous vehicles, and we’re the first to adopt a zoning ordinance for autonomous vehicles and ride-sharing services … I do intend to engage both regionally and nationally in the conversation and policy enactment of advanced vehicle technology – we believe Chandler needs to be at the table.” New Maricopa County Supervisor Jack Sellers, a former Chandler City Council member, has been talking for more than a year about the need for highway planners to start studying how the construction of future freeways might have to change to accommodate autonomous vehicles. After he was voted as the replacement for Denny Barney, who left the Board of Supervisors to take the helm of the East Valley Partnership, Sellers, a member of the State Transportation Board, said, “We are at the point where the next several years will be critical in defining our transportation infrastructure for the future.” Chandler officials are at the forefront as

board the minivan. “As we were going down the street, he looked at us like we were getting into a rocket ship,” Sharon laughed. The lasers and sensors on top and all around the car certainly make it look like nothing else on the road. In the two months since the company launched its Waymo One program in Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Ahwatukee and Tempe, many of those vans can now be seen carting around passengers like the Hutts. The retired couple was picked among

But as the couple pressed the button to open the sliding door of the Chrysler Pacifica, she saw the neighbor watching them

well in preparing for the vehicles. It adopted new zoning regulations for parking requirements at new construction to make way for employers whose workers would be using companies like Waymo to go to and from their jobs. Those requirements – which also include the provision of drop-off and pick-up sites for the vehicles – would mean developers won’t have to reserve as much land for parking spaces. Chu said it’s just a matter of getting the general public to slowly accept changes of a new technology, much like riders in horse carriages had to do with electric cars more than 100 years ago. He said the company feels an area like the Valley with wide streets and large suburbs is a good place for Waymo to be. “We’ve got folks everywhere from colleges, students to retirees to working professionals here,” Chu said. “Many of those things came together made this whole area make a lot of sense as a place for us to grow.” Waymo is still accepting applications for riders who are interested in participating in the Early Rider Program.

20,000 people who applied in April 2017 to test out some of the 500 vans the company used to start its Early Rider Program to give feedback about the service. Now that they’ve graduated to the Waymo One program, the Hutts can use the Waymo app to hail their ride similar to the way they would call for a traditional ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft. “But this is better,” Roger said, noting that with the other traditional ride-share companies, “you never know what might show up at your curb” or wonder “Has the car been maintained? Are the drivers trained?” The app shows the Hutts where the possible destinations are, gives them a price estimate for the trip and tells them how long it will take for a van to arrive for the pickup. Sharon said they’ve never waited more than four minutes for a ride. Once it shows up, a rider presses a button to open the sliding door and takes one of three seats in the back two rows of the minivan. A fourth seat way in the back has a car seat attached to it for parents with young ones. The Hutts give a courteous greeting to their safety driver, but they’re sure not to strike up a conversation with him. Even though the car is driving itself, Waymo’s drivers are still required to pay attention to the road and the car at all times. In fact, the radios are turned off for now on all Waymo One vans, which is just fine with Roger. “It’s so nice to get in a vehicle that didn’t have music playing,” he said. Once everybody is buckled in, they have

multiple ways to start the trip. They can push a “start” button near the roof by the passenger seats, or they can activate it directly from the phone app. It can also be triggered by a touch screen option on a small monitor on the back of each front seat. These TV screens include a map of the planned trip with some enhanced 3D features. The map is Waymo’s own creation, presenting the basic street layout and the surrounding traffic that the autonomous technology detects. It’s where passengers can really see the company’s proprietary technology at work. Waymo’s system is a mix of sensor, radar and cameras all around the vehicle. Its LiDAR, or light detection and ranging system, on top of the van is a laser that sends out millions of signals a second to take in its surroundings 200 yards around the vehicle. Smaller sensors pick up the smaller stuff right around the car, such as a ball rolling in front of it or a dog running into the road. “It’s a solid car and I like that it has a low center of gravity,” Roger said. “I hate it in Arizona that there are so many rollovers.” In fact, both Hutts said they feel the selfdriving car is actually safer on the roads, but they know it will take a big effort for it to gain popularity quickly. “It’s going to take word of mouth to help spread it,” Roger said “We tell people. There will be a tipping point where it just grows and grows and has more mass acceptance.” The Hutts plan to make more trips as the program unveils more features it needs feedback on.

Mesa ponders ways to control, not kill off, e-scooters BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

he free ride may be over soon for electric scooter companies in Mesa – where they have operated free of charge for months – as the city develops an ordinance to regulate them. The Mesa City Council is contemplating a $5,000 annual right-of-way license and a $2-per-month fee for each scooter as part of a new ordinance that would be designed to promote the two-wheelers’ use near the light rail line while protecting the city against liability in the event of a scooter-related accident. With the Shared Active Transportation Vehicle ordinance, Mesa would join other cities throughout the region in responding to safety and nuisance concerns created by a trendy new industry that suddenly appeared about a year ago. “The city is not looking at this as an opportunity to milk the industry,’’ Mayor John Giles said, noting that Mesa’s proposed fees are lower than those of Phoenix and Tempe. “We want to encourage and invite the industry in Mesa, but we may need to raise fees’’ if administrative costs prove higher than expected, he said. Phoenix is considering a year-long pilot program that would limit the two-wheelers to a 2-square-mile area of downtown with a $500 application fee, a $5,000 annual permit fee and a 10-cents-per-ride levy. Council reportedly is to vote on the proposal this month. Tempe required each company to pay an annual application fee of $7,888 and a right-of-way use fee of $1.06 per device, e-scooter and dockless bicycles. Gilbert officials are still studying what to do about the scooters while Chandler has yet to take up the issue. Cost was one of the reasons Lime cited for withdrawing its devices from Tempe, and Razor is contemplating doing the same unless the city amends its licensing agreement. Giles warned a representative from Razor, one of the scooter companies, that any new ordinance will include a mandatory indemnity agreement that will hold the city harmless from injuries suffered by scooter users. “It’s not a matter of ‘if.’ We know there will be injuries,’’ Giles said. “To me, that is a deal-breaker if we don’t have adequate indemnity agreements.’’ Scottsdale has seen a spike in scooterrelated injuries serious enough to warrant treatment in a trauma unit instead of

at the less serious emergency-room level. Council’s concerns come at a time when yet another company announced plans to put 300 scooters in Mesa and Scottsdale. The ride-share company Lyft said its introduction of scooters come at a perfect time. “Scooters are becoming a transportation staple in big cities nationwide,” a Lyft spokeswoman said. “With spring training ramping up next week, Lyft Scooters will provide another transportation for fans

three additional companies have inquired about obtaining a license. “It seems to be working out,’’ Yee said about Tempe’s ordinance. “We want them here, but we want them to be safe and to be held accountable.’’ But Donovan Higbee, manager of government relations for Razor, said his company plans to pull out of Tempe in the near future over the indemnity clause. He said Razor has signed such clauses with other cities, but hopes Mesa’s will

It’s not a matter of ‘if.’ We know there will be “ injuries. To me, that is a deal-breaker if we don’t have adequate indemnity agreements. ”

going to the games. The scooter launch is part of Lyft’s ongoing mission to make cities more people-focused.” City Attorney Jim Smith said he will be researching indemnity agreements with scooter companies. Lime scooters pulled out of Tempe after the city said in its agreement that riding scooters is “inherently hazardous.’’ In response to safety concerns, the proposed Mesa ordinance would require companies to supply 500 helmets for distribution at community events and possibly by some downtown businesses. Tatianna Yee, a Tempe spokeswoman, said the Tempe ordinance has not scared off other companies. She said Tempe is poised to approve the licenses of two other companies, Bird and Razor, and

not be as strongly worded as Tempe’s. “In most cities, the language has been OK,’’ Higbee said. Mesa City Manager Chris Brady said the city wants to concentrate the scooters near the Metro Light Rail line and bus routes, where they serve the purpose of helping riders travel “the last mile’’ either to catch the light rail or a bus, or to head home from a station. “They have been doing a very good job for the most part of staging them’’ at locations near stations along Main Street and downtown, Brady said. But new Councilmember Jen Duff, who lives downtown and often walks throughout the area, said she has received “quite a few’’ complaints about scooters blocking sidewalks, especially from senior citizens

who live nearby. Scooter companies argue they are supplying affordable transportation while reducing congestion and air pollution. Spin, a start-up owned by Ford, also has recently dropped off scooters in Mesa. Lime and Bird have been in Mesa for months. Giles and other council members said they generally agreed with an outline of a potential scooter ordinance described in a slideshow by R.J Zeder, the city’s transportation director. But one exception was confining the scooters to a limited geographic area that tracks the city’s Metro Light Rail line, from the Tempe border to just east of Gilbert Road. The Gilbert Road light rail station is scheduled to open sometime in May. The irregularly-shaped scooter use area would include northwest Mesa, near Sloan Park, Riverview Park and Riverview Mall, but otherwise runs between University Drive and Southern Avenue. Duff and Councilmember Francisco Heredia said they would like to see the scooter zone extended a bit longer to track bus routes as well, with Heredia saying he had spotted them along Alma School Road south of U.S. 60, demonstrating a demand. Councilmember Jeremy Whittaker said he was not comfortable with restricting the scooters geographically. “I think there are people who are relying upon the scooters to get to work,’’ he said. “I think the area is way too small. I would not agree with limiting it at all.’’ Brady said city staff will incorporate the council’s comments into a proposed ordinance that will be submitted for approval at an unspecified future date. Zeder also plans to discuss the ordinance further with scooter companies. A chart attached to the documents said that Mesa’s revenue from such an ordinance would be substantially less than that of Phoenix and Tempe and more similar to Peoria. The chart projects Mesa’s revenue as $12,200 a year if 300 SATVs are operated in the city, $29,000 with 1,000 SATVs and $65,000 with 2,500 SATVs. In contrast, Tempe has an annual license fee of $7,888 and a projected revenue of $123,958 with 300 SATVs, $394,788 with 1,000 SATVs and $975,138 with 2,500 SATVs. The chart shows that Phoenix’s right of way license is $5,500 for six months while Mesa’s license is $5,000 per year. The cities with the highest license fees listed on the chart were Denver at $15,150 annually and Atlanta at $12,100 annually.

Mesa woman lovingly documents Lehi’s history BY HALEY LORENZEN Tribune Contributor

lice Boyle has been documenting and organizing the history of Lehi for over 50 years and has recently donated 110 albums to her church’s historical department. Now, the Mesa woman says it’s time for her to put down the camera and pass on the torch to someone new. In her house on Lehi Road, a tree-lined street lacking sidewalks and street lights, Boyle looks at a wall covered in old photographs. In this room, she keeps her boxes of albums filled with pictures and stories of her community, whose residents are fiercely proud of their neighborhood, she said. “It’s kind of silly, but there was always a thing about Lehi over Mesa,” she said. The small Mesa community’s history dates back to 1877, when pioneers who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made it their home. Boyle started her documentation when she was a local historian for The Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and from there it began to grow into something more. It became her passion, she said.

She photographed receptions, funerals and church events, as well as the annual Lehi Days Rodeo, where each year she has displayed these albums for the community. She was never paid and donated her photos to the members of the families whose events she photographed. She said she always made sure to copy her photos, to keep one for her archives. “The fact that I took pictures at the different shindigs, I got more acquainted with families and people,” she said. She moved into her home in 1998 with her husband, Pat, after relocating from a different house down the street, which was torn down because of the construction of the Santan Red Mountain Freeway. It was one of the many changes Boyle said she has seen over the years in Lehi after she moved to Mesa at age 18. “When we first moved here, some people said, ‘You’re moving to Lehi? They have a lot of mosquitos.’ They really had a lot of funny ideas,” she said. At one point in the 1970s, the 81-yearold said, she knew almost everyone in the community, but it seems as though half of

them have left. Through these continually changing years, Boyle has continued to document the landscape of Lehi. Boyle said she has a hard time remembering the exact dates of when she took on the role of documenting Lehi’s history, which she attributed to her age. She said she began photographing Lehi once her children were “somewhat grown.” Along the way, people began giving her photographs they had found over the years, with some dating back to 1897. Boyle added these to her growing collection, which she keeps in a dedicated room in her house, which is filled with boxes of albums along the walls. Boyle said she organized these albums mostly by herself, although she did receive help from others with scanning the pictures. DeeAnn Royer, who has lived down the street from Boyle for 20 years, helped with the scanning. Upon seeing these albums, Royer said, “It consolidated our history. It was fabulous.”

2 students leave lasting mark on Red Mountain High BY JASON STONE Tribune Contributor

hen a great athlete passes through a neighborhood high school, future students will always have a chance to relive the glory. Nearly every school has athletic trophies in a case, retired numbers on a wall and records in the history books. But when the greatest academic minds leave their marks on a school, it’s almost never easy to tell who they are. That means sometimes you just have to take the principal’s word that some of the best students to ever attend a school are currently enrolled. Red Mountain principal Jared Ryan thinks he has a pair of those students right now. Seniors Adrian Kwiatkowski and Geethika Ameneni are wrapping up their final semester as perhaps the two most

decorated students ever to attend the east Mesa school. Both students are finalists for one of 20 U.S. Presidential Schools awards, among the highest honors given to a high school student. “I was telling Geethika’s family, ‘Our campus is just a better place because they were here,’” Ryan said. “I don’t know any other way to put it. They caused other students to conduct themselves differently. They’ve changed the paths for other students.” At a recent assembly specifically called to honor Kwiatkowski and Ameneni’s successes, Ryan joked to the crowd that

Royer said she hopes that someone else will continue on Boyle’s role but said she knows that it is a lot of work. A majority of Boyle’s albums are captioned, and handwritten names can be found below each picture. In 2013, Jared Rogers, who is the current historian for their local branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, contacted the church’s headquarters in Utah about the work Boyle had done. The albums were then taken to Salt Lake City, where they are kept among other donated records. Her work “has kept the pioneer spirit in Lehi very upfront, and people are proud of that,” as residents are very proud of their community’s humble beginnings, said Rogers. Everybody in this world can see these photos, Rogers added, because the albums and documents have been archived online.

SCHOLARS from page 11

it had felt like the two of them had “been here for eight years.” It probably seems like that because they’ve already reached a lifetime of accomplishments. Since their freshmen year when they met at the east Mesa campus, the two have been all over the school’s Twitter feed and daily announcements to blast their achievements. “Typically, students kind of ease their way in, and by junior and senior year they have more success or accolades,” Ryan said. “These two since freshman year have been standouts among all the students on the campus. We always come across strong academic students with 3,600 kids. But these two have been really leaders in other ways.” The U.S. Presidential Schools award is among the most prestigious in the country. The program has honored almost 7,500 students since President Lyndon Johnson established it in 1964 to recognize outstanding high school seniors. It honors fewer than two dozen students across the nation each year, and those winners are invited to a ceremony in the White House. The race for one of the prizes started in October when about 1,000 students applied. The first round of cuts pared the pack down to 80. Adrian and Geethika were each named a finalist for the U.S. Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education Program. They were two of five students in Arizona who made the cut of the final group of 20.

Boyle said she plans on retiring from this role soon, as it has become too much for her to take on, because of her age and the amount of dedication the documenting requires. “On Sunday, I mentioned that I was quitting, and a person said, ‘Well who’s gonna take over for you?’ Surely someone will want to do it,” she said. Boyle has spoken to a few people about taking over, and she said she hopes that someone else will want to continue documenting and collecting Lehi’s history, even with the amount of work it requires.

But even more impressive, Adrian and Geethika are in rare company among all students who have ever attended a Mesa school. Until last year, when Red Mountain alum Megan Phillips was named a finalist for the award, no Mesa Public School District student had ever been picked as a finalist. Now, not only have the only three come in the last two years, they’re all from Red Mountain. “That’s just crazy,” Adrian said. Getting to this point has been a long time in the making for both students. Adrian’s intelligence has been evident from an early age. His father is from Canada and his mother is from Mexico, making him a first-generation American. He fluently speaks Spanish and can conversationally speak French. “I actually think I see that in a lot of top students here,” said Adrian, who will graduate in May before he turns 18 in June. “Some of them are very, very bright, but they tend to be not as ambitious as Geethika and I.” Adrian’s ambition is evident with just a glance at his resume. It’s covered with honors, including taking first place in the Cellular and Molecular Biology category at last year’s Arizona Science and Engineering Fair. He was a 2018 National Merit Commended Scholar and a 2018 National Hispanic Scholar. He is also the current president of the Arizona chapter of HOSA – Future Health Professionals and placed second in Biomedical Laboratory Science

Competition at the Arizona HOSA Spring Leadership Conference. Since he found out in early December that he earned a full-ride Questbridge match scholarship to the University of Chicago – valued at $300,000 over four years – he’s already feeling like a college student by using his UChicago.edu email address. The school prohibits freshman from declaring majors, but he said he’s leaning toward molecular and cellular biology once the decision is made sophomore year. “For me it’s about how much I’ve contributed to the scientific world,” Adrian said about what motivates him. Geethika is following in the footstep of her physician parents, who are from India. Her first name means “sing” in Hindu. She learned to speak using Telugu, the native language of her grandparents and one of the six designated classical languages of India. The family, which included a younger sister, emigrated to Arizona when Geethika was 2, but after a few years they moved to Ohio so her mother could work on her fellowship on infectious diseases. “She’s been probably one of my greatest role models because I feel like whenever you’re younger you admire your parents and you want to do what they are and do what they do,” Geethika said. “That’s what started me wanting to be a doctor because I would go to work with her sometimes. “But then as I got more involved in science and service in high school, that’s what really made me want to pursue that as a profession.”

Her high school achievements include participating in the KEYS Research Internship program at the University of Arizona. She also took first place in the Mesa district science fair, has been named an AP Scholar with Distinction, claimed first place in Clinical Specialty at the HOSA State Conference, earned a top 10 showing in Clinical Specialty at the HOSA International Conference and finished runner-up at the HOSA Bowl at HOSA State Conference. The recently turned 18-year-old is now a finalist for the Flinn Scholarship, with her final interview scheduled for March 2. She wants to attend the U of A’s medical school and major in biomedical engineering with a future on being a doctor. It would be along the kind of work she and Kwiatkowski are both doing at their CTE internships at Arizona State University Biodesign Institute. Geethika’s study includes mapping individual barcode cells to find mutations. Adrian is working on a genetics model involving small roundworms and a technique called “DNA origami.” “The goal with a program such as biomedical research engineering is you gain experience outside the walls of the classroom,” Geethika said. They’re both on track for an Advanced STEM diploma that Red Mountain started five years ago. It’s the only school in the district to offer it. Ryan said the program attracts 700 students from all across the Valley through open enrollment. He estimates about 35 percent of the students come from outside of Mesa.

‘Tweener’ service aims to take stress out of home sales BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

orma and Andy Ramirez were full of dread at a time when they should have been brimming with excitement. They had made a decision to sell their Chandler home and find a new one, but they were dreading the constant interruption by Realtors and prospective buyers and the need to keep the house immaculate and clutter-free. A hotel seemed out of the question, especially given that their teenaged daughters Mia and Liana had been accustomed to a room – and bathroom – of their own. Enter Nick Calvi, the founder of a real estate brokerage called Tweener Homes, which helps sellers in the East Valley rent a full furnished home until they can move into their new house. “It was so smooth,” Norma recalled. “We were able to move everything out into storage. Our house was always clean and open anytime for people to come through.” And, best of all, the girls still had their own space because the temporary home was just about the same size as the one the Ramirezes were leaving behind after 17 years. Even better, Norma added, there was no pressure to find a place ASAP, so they could leisurely entertain offers while looking for new permanent digs. “It was almost like we packed a suitcase for a vacation,” Norma said. Calvi calls his service of providing fully furnished temporary quarters – complete with even dishes, kitchenware and bedding – the “match.com” for homes. But it’s more than a dating site in that it fills a need that’s been the bane of sellers everywhere, he said. “There are numerous vacation rental companies and websites that allow property owners the ability to rent their home as a vacation rental for short-term rental stays less than 30 days,” he explained. “There are also plenty of options for those seeking a long-term rental with a minimum 12-month lease. “Unfortunately, those in between short- and long-term stays, no good options existed. I want-

ed to provide a comfortable home for ‘tweeners’ and connect them with people who own homes and do not use for personal use the whole year, thus creating a win-win situation.” The Chandler-based business serves the entire East Valley, Scottsdale and Ahwatukee.

We wanted to move our belongings into storage and find a comfortable furnished home to move into. “This is when I experienced firsthand the difficulty in finding one,” he continued. “There were plenty of short-term vacation rental sites, but the cost to rent for months at a time was exorbitant. We

There are also plenty of options for “ those seeking a long-term rental with a

minimum 12-month lease. Unfortunately, those in between short- and long-term stays, no good options existed.

”

Though his company is fairly new, the Realtor has been thinking about the situation it addresses ever since he and his family moved to Arizona in 2008 to escape the bitter cold of Chicago. “Six years after we moved here, we entered into a contract to build a home in Chandler and a few months after that, listed our home for sale. Within a few weeks of listing, we received an acceptable offer with a close date that would leave us with a three-to-four-month wait time until our new home would be ready.

also saw numerous properties, mostly unfurnished, that were offered for rent with a minimum one-year lease. However, the in-between time. I thought ‘It shouldn’t be this hard.’” Over time, Calvi found out his experience was hardly unique. “The good majority of agents and brokers I talk to have had or know people who have been in a jam when it comes to monthly, furnished rental homes,” he said. “I want to be a resource for these agents and brokers so they can concentrate on what they do so

well: provide excellent service, dedication and communication to their clients to help them sell their home for top dollar and find their new, permanent dream home.” Then one day, the 10-year Realtor had a client who was in the same situation he was when he moved here. “I was able to find a family who wanted to sell their home but were concerned they would sell before they had found their new dream home to move into. I knew a person who only used his Arizona home a few months in the winter season and was pleased to rent out and make money on the home while helping out this nice family. We subsequently listed and sold their home and were able to then find them their new dream home, which they are living in today.” As easy as his service is, it wasn’t all that easy to set it up, Calvi said. “I spent the better part of a year researching companies that offer shortterm and long-term rentals,” he recalled. “I then started working with a web design company to include best practices from both. I learned I needed to obtain my broker’s license, so I enrolled in classes and obtained an Arizona real estate broker’s license. I set up a corporation and a brokerage firm (Tweener Homes) with the Arizona Department of Real Estate.” After researching web design and marketing/branding companies across the country, Calvi picked Chandler-based Concept 2 Completion, owned by Chandler Councilman Mark Stewart and Russ Wall. “They have been a valuable asset and will be taking on bigger roles for the business,” he said. Though he admits “I greatly underestimated the time, the obstacles to overcome and the money required to get this going,” Calvi is happy now. “The response thus far has made it all worthwhile,” he said. “I look forward to helping people during what can be one of the most stressful times in their lives. In fact, one of the first promotional items I bought was a stress reliever shaped like a house. My hope is that Tweener Homes can take some of that stress away.” Norma Ramirez doesn’t disagree. “I’d recommend it to anyone,” she said. “In fact, I already have.” Information: TweenerHomes.com

Gilbert lawmaker vows to gut timeshare bill BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gilbert lawmaker has vowed to gut a bill approved by the House Committee on Regulatory Affairs that would give people who sign timehsare deals 14 days to have second thoughts. That’s twice as long as now required. HB 2639 also would allow buyers to opt out within 14 days of actually using their timeshare and be entitled to a 90 percent refund. Potentially most significant, those who would buy a timeshare in the future and have had it for at least a decade could simply walk away without being on the legal hook for annual maintenance fees that could continue for the rest of their lives – and beyond. Despite the 7-0 vote, it remains unclear if the provisions will ever become law. Rep. Travis Grantham, R-Gilbert, who chairs the panel, said he will seek to strip out many of the provisions when it now goes to the full House, instead reducing it to additional requirements for what

information needs to be given to buyers. The star witness for the proposal by Rep. Shawnna Bolick, R-Phoenix, was Gloria Johnson, who told lawmakers about her experience buying a timeshare in 1980. Now, she said, the option of having a week at a resort makes little sense. Yet she is stuck making annual maintenance payments of more than $1,000. Johnson said she was told she can leave the timeshare to her children. “My children don’t want them, my children can’t afford to pay the maintenance fee,’’ she said. “There is no way out of this,’’ Johnson said. “You own this for life and you own it beyond your life.’’ Johnson said she realizes that nothing the legislature adopts now can alter the contract she signed nearly four decades ago. But she told lawmakers they should protect others going forward. Amanda Rusing, who lobbies for the Attorney General’s Office, said her agency crafted the measure to deal with specific complaints by timeshare buyers and

owners. She said it starts with providing more than just seven days for buyers to consider what they’ve done. “People aren’t even home from their vacations and sobered up by the time they’re completely locked in to these contracts,’’ Rusing said. “What we wanted to do is give people a more meaningful opportunity to think about that contract that they signed.’’ She also said it’s important for people to be able to get out of a contract once they’ve actually had the opportunity to use the unit that they’ve bought for one week a year. “They thought they were buying the opportunity to use a beach-front villa,’’ she explained. “And what they end up with is a condo where, if you hang your head out the window on a sunny day, you can kind of see the ocean.’’ Rusing said people are so desperate that they advertise their time share for as little as a penny, only to find no one who wants to assume the future liability. Monday’s vote came over the objections of Don Isaacson, who lobbies for

the American Resort Development Association. “This bill goes too far,’’ he said, saying no state allows someone to simply give back a unit after 10 years and walk away. Isaacson said there’s a good reason for that, as when someone stops paying an assessment, then the financial burden falls on everyone else. “You are buying real estate, you are buying it as an adult,’’ he said. “And unless there is fraud, you are bound to that particular purchase.’’ Grantham agreed. “It’s very difficult to legislate good decision making,’’ he said, whether buying a car or a timeshare. Isaacson said some new timeshares run by resorts do have such options in their contracts. “But I think it would be a mistake to mandate that,’’ he said. Isaacson argued that too much is being made of the issue. He said the 250 complaints a year to the Attorney General’s Office pale in comparison to the 600,000 timeshare units owned in Arizona.

I’ll trust an online review only if I know the author BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

aybe the biggest shocker I’ve heard this year comes courtesy of NBC News, which recently probed the origin of online reviews found on websites like Yelp. Their startling conclusion? “An NBC News investigation found thousands of questionable reviews on Amazon, Yelp, Facebook and Google.” I truly am surprised by this. Mostly because I had assumed that all online reviews were written by angry morons, shut-ins and recluses, or close relatives and friends of the business owners. Fake reviews? That had never occurred to me. As for actually reading online reviews and trusting them when I make consumer and dining decisions, yeah, no thanks. While I acknowledge that word of mouth is the most valuable form of mar-

keting, I prefer to personally know the brain and human being attached to the words and mouths in question before I use their data. Or, put another way, I don’t need keen insight from someone named Sally R. to know that Taco Bell will not soon win a James Beard Award for culinary excellence. Sally, however, was a slow learner. And yes, I am quoting her review exactly as written: “3 times I gave stopped here for nachos supreme pay extra and never get them. Today I actually pulled the item out of the bag and asked are you sure jalapenos are on this I was told yes, got home nope paid extra for nothing. Never coming here again, worst place for service, if I could I would give them zero stars.” Sally’s sense of optimism is sort of endearing. Me, after I’d been ripped off for a nacho supreme not once, but twice, I would have opted for Filiberto’s. Not our gal. She gave Taco Bell a third chance and

even interrogated the chef about her meal before dining. Still, she came away short of jalapenos – but then got sweet revenge with a nasty online review. Sally, I raise my chalupa to you. Thank you for protecting Arizona from this scourge. During my NBC News-style investigation, I read literally dozens of reviews. This had two impacts on me. One, I wanted to go to Yelp and review the Arizona educational system for producing such barely functional illiteracy. And two, I wanted to write to some of the reviewers individually and suggest mental help. Like Justin P. of Gilbert, who shared his thoughts about the food selection at a Chevron gas station in Apache Junction: “It Saturday during lunch and this dump still has nothing on its menu ready other than a few pieces of chicken. Everything time I ask for jambalaya or anything else on their menu they don’t have it. So do

yourself a favor and take down the menu if you aren’t willing to make it. I totally understand at weird time of the day but at 5pm on weekdays or noon on a Saturday you should be able to fulfill a order poor practice of a business stick to gas and frozen burritos.” Justin, my friend, I feel like Chevron’s laziness and narrow menu perhaps saved you from a fate far worse than dietary boredom: Death by gas station jambalaya. Even on a Saturday afternoon – when the best-reviewed urgent care facilities are less crowded – risking Cajun food at a filling station in AJ strikes me as poor life management. Stick with the chicken, pal. Or get gallon of gas and drive a few minutes to the Creole Cajun Bistro up the road. I’ve never been and I’m not planning to go anytime soon. But someone named Nisha J. highly recommends the jambalaya. If a stranger recommending a meal on the Internet isn’t persuasive, heck, I don’t know what is.

Please help stop Big Pharma from killing me BY ANNE MCAULEY LOPEZ Tribune Guest Writer

have a condition called chronic myeloid leukemia, and there is a miracle pill called Gleevec that controls my cancer, but there is no cure. I take the generic version, which you would think costs much less, but the reality is that the retail price for the generic of my dose is $10,000+ per month versus $13,500+ per month for the brand name. I think we can agree that even a standard 20 percent patient cost for specialty medications like this one is still a lot of money. While our insurance caps our out of pocket at $500 for my prescription, that is still a lot of money, and I need this medication for the rest of my life. Without it, I will die. Since the Gleevec patent expiration in 2015, the retail price has only risen

on both the brand name and generic versions. Media outlets have written about the anomaly of Gleevec pricing, as it doesn’t follow what was once considered the standard, which is that the generic was significantly cheaper and just as effective. Big Pharma has no answer when asked why this drug in particular is priced so high, even as a generic. I have no choice but to either pay, find funding or stop taking the medication and risk death. I have no advocate at my oncologist’s office to fight with Big Pharma on my behalf. While I could go to a big hospital system where they have patient advocates, and I did that last year, I received sub-par care and a huge bill. Not only is there no one helping me at the doctor’s office, I have no one at the health insurance company helping me. In fact, when I called the insurance company in tears asking for an

oncology patient advocate, I was met with a long pause and the unfortunate news that they don’t have that kind of patient care. There are no skip days or cheat days when you have cancer. You only fight. And fight I will. There is no one advocating for patients like me who require medications for the rest of our lives. There is no one asking for Big Pharma to be called to the carpet on behalf of cancer patients who are gouged by the system, forced to send bills to collections because there just isn’t enough money to go around, who aren’t sick enough to file for disability but are too sick to work full-time, who suffer an array of side effects each day and whose medications cost pennies to manufacture but who are forced to pay thousands of dollars over their lifetime. No one asks to liquidate their retirement to cover the costs of cancer.

No one asks their parents to liquidate their retirement to cover the cost of cancer. Yet, here I am in exactly this situation because Big Pharma is getting paid and no one is helping the people who need it most. My vision for 2019 is to live all 365 days of the year, but I can’t do that if the cost of my life-saving medication keeps increasing. I want to tell my story to Congress. I want to facilitate changing the system before I die. And I’d like that death to be far into the future, but I just don’t know how that is going to happen. Please call and write your local politicians to ask them to look at how Big Pharma is gouging cancer patients and so many others who require lifesaving medication. I truly believe that our stories and efforts can create change and save lives.

Mesa ‘angel mom’ pleads for border wall BY MARY ANN MENDOZA Tribune Guest Writer

ome say building a border wall would be immoral. As a parent whose child was killed by an illegal immigrant, I say it would be immoral not to secure our border once and for all. Each year, thousands of parents receive the heart-breaking news that their son or daughter has died at the hands of an illegal immigrant or the illegal drugs that are smuggled across our southern border. I’m just one of the many parents who have experienced the tragedy of our country’s broken immigration system. With every day that we avoid addressing this crisis, more families are needlessly torn apart. This year, illegal drugs – most of which are smuggled in through our unsecured southern border – will take more American lives than the entire Vietnam War. Meanwhile, thousands of American citizens will be killed by illegal immigrants, many of whom are allowed to roam the streets freely despite having a criminal record. That’s exactly what happened to my son, Brandon, who was taken from us nearly five years ago when an illegal immigrant with a criminal record was driving drunk and plowed his vehicle into Brandon’s car as he was on his way home from work. The monster who killed Brandon was previously charged with burglary and assaulting a police officer in the 1990s, but he never showed up to court. He was even apprehended by Border Patrol while reentering the country in 2002, only for a judge to let him back onto the streets.

With disturbing regularity, we see reports from communities across the country of yet another American life ended at the hands of an illegal immigrant who should not have been allowed to enter or stay in this country. In my home state of Arizona alone, the Government Accountability Office estimates that homicides accounted for 4 percent of the roughly 6,000 illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in 2008. That comes out to 240 homicide convictions in just one state, in just one year. That same year, an estimated 3,000 illegal aliens were convicted of homicide in California. The carnage is of massive proportions, and yet politicians in Washington still refuse to protect us by securing America’s borders. The question is, why? Why should families like mine suffer while politicians fret over the morality of enforcing our nation’s immigration laws? Why does Congress continue to pay lip service to border security while doing nothing to achieve it? The answer has become achingly clear. It’s because politicians in Washington value their own careers over what’s good for the country. As a result, I’ll never be able to hug my son again, or experience the pride of watching him raise his own family. President Trump is the only person in Washington who seems to understand the gravity of the illegal immigration crisis, and I’m immensely grateful to him for taking action to secure the border after Congress refused to protect American families like mine. -Mary Ann Mendoza is a Mesa resident and describes herself as an “angel mom,” the term President Trump gave in 2016 to mothers whose children died in crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

With heart heavy, Denning leads Hamilton girls to 6A hoops crown BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

aelin Denning has been on statechampionship basketball teams before at Hamilton High. This one, however, weighed heavier on her heart while she scored 9 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the top-seeded Huskies put an exclamation mark on their year with a 45-33 win over secondseeded Xavier Prep for the 6A title on Feb. 26. “My mom passed away a year ago, so I tried really hard for her,” Denning said. “It made me work harder every day and be a lot more determined.” On July 28, 2017, Shirley Denning, a special-education paraprofessional at Hamilton, passed away after a head-on collision on U.S. 93 near Wickenburg. Alexander Lafrate, Shirley’s boyfriend and

custodian at the school, also passed away in the crash.

A win in transition: Late venue change doesn’t derail VC boys BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

he hours leading to the 3A boys basketball state-championship game brought a whirlwind of emotions for the Valley Christian High players. Just hours before the Trojans were to tip off against Pusch Ridge Christian Academy at Gila River Arena in Glendale, the venue was changed to Highland High in a ripple effect by the Arizona Interscholastic Association, the governing body of high school sports in the state. The AIA was challenged by a record snowstorm that hit just ahead of the small-school state finals, initially scheduled for Prescott Valley. “We told our kids that it didn’t matter if the game was going to be played at an arena, at Highland or at an outdoor court,” Valley Christian coach Greg Haagsma said.

“They had an opportunity to go win a state championship.” The Trojans seized it, hoisting the trophy in front of a packed gym before cutting down the net. Led by junior guard Logan Phillips’ 22 points and senior guard Jalen Grijalva’s 18, Valley Christian rolled past Pusch Ridge, 57-44, on Feb. 23 for the state title. “The gym was loud, it was a great atmosphere and being able to get on a ladder after and hang out on the court, it’s something special,” Haagsma said. “There’s nice things about this environment we wouldn’t have had at the arena. “Ten years from now, these kids aren’t going to remember they played at Highland High School. What they will remember is that they won a title.” The state championship is Haagsma’s sixth since he became VC’s coach in 1997. He also is the school’s athletics director.

They were headed to a basketball tournament. Raelin, among four seniors on the roster, used her mother’s passing as motivation. Hamilton reached the 6A quarterfinals a year ago. As her senior year approached, Raelin was determined to hoist another trophy in her mother’s honor. “It feels amazing. It’s unreal,” she said. “We just stuck together. We wanted to make sure we boxed out to get the rebounds. Then we knew we had to make our shots.” As the final buzzer sounded at Arizona State University’s Wells Fargo Arena, Hamilton stormed the court. It was difficult for Denning to contain her emotions as she reflected on her mother and on her time with her Huskies teammates. “It means everything to me,” Denning said. “I just wanted to work hard for (her mom) and for the team. The future is

bright for them. “I think they have a good chance to go to the finals again next year.” This is the second time in four years that Denning and Hamilton stand atop the 6A conference in girls basketball. With a majority of the roster being juniors and sophomores, Denning believes that Hamilton will be successful for years to come. “This team has been through a lot in the last 18 months,” Hamilton coach Trevor Neider said. “They stuck together and everybody bought in.” Strong defense by both teams led to contested shots, turnovers and a backand-forth battle through three quarters. An early 10-2 Hamilton lead quickly vanished as Xavier found a rhythm from 3-point range while the Huskies went cold.

Seton Catholic’s run of girls state basketball titles comes to an end BY ERIC NEWMAN Tribune Staff Writer

new 4A girls’ basketball champion was crowned for the first time in three seasons. Shadow Mountain defeated Seton Catholic, 54-31, on Feb. 23 at Gila River Arena, denying the Sentinels a fourth consecutive title. Coming into the season, Seton graduated several quality seniors and lacked size. Just two players were 6 feet. Coach Karen Self said that she is impressed how her team fought through that adversity. “I can’t tell you how proud of these girls I am. They worked so hard to compete and play at our best. Defense and competitiveness kind of became our identity,” Self said. Once again, the Sentinels will graduate a group of skilled and well-loved seniors. The senior class reached the championship game every year, winning three. Few can top their 113-16 record. The seniors leave a legacy of leadership on the staff and younger teammates. “I’ve just seen them grow as players and as people. It’s been amazing to watch and be a part of,” Self said. The Sentinels will open next season

loaded. They return four of their top six scorers, as does Shadow Mountain, so it would not be surprising to see these teams meet for another 4A title. Seton sophomore Amanda Barcello said she feels badly for the seniors and that the team will honor them. When the Sentinels meet in a few months to begin preparation for next year, the loss and a shot at redemption will motivate them, she said. “A lot of us have club ball, and I think we’ll kind of take a little break after this

long season. But, when it comes time for high school season again next year, we’ll be ready to try to get back here again,” Barcello said. Seton led Shadow Mountain through most of the first half in a defensive battle. Shadow Mountain did not score until just over 3 minutes remained in the first quarter. The Matadors were getting to the basket through drives and efficient passes to cutting players, but they appeared tight and could not get shots to fall. The Sentinels

led 9-7 after a quarter. However, Shadow Mountain’s zone defense, which played tight at the top and double-teamed every player who got the ball in the corner or post, made it difficult for Seton Catholic to move the ball. The Sentinels were forced into contested jump shots, and players were too far from the basket to secure many offensive rebounds. By halftime the game was tied at 16. “When we went into halftime tied after not scoring much we kind of knew we could do it,” Matador junior Heavenly Greer said. “Coach told us we needed to just get to the basket and use our size.” The Matadors began playing to their size advantage, driving to the basket and scoring on layups or offensive rebounds. Shadow Mountain allowed just nine points in the third quarter as it rolled to a 14-point lead. Seton turnovers turned into easy transition scoring opportunities for Shadow Mountain, as well. The Matadors scored 23 points in eight minutes, only two of them coming on a jump shot. Seton had no answers for them near the hoop. “There was just too much size and athleticism for us out there today,” Self said.

those tournaments into Gila River Arena, in turn bouncing the 3A boys championships to Highland on short notice. Once settled in, Pusch Ridge wisely fed 6-foot-10 senior center Lucas Elliott near the basket. Valley Christian was unable to find a consistent shooting rhythm and was out-rebounded on both ends of the floor. “We knew we had to do a little better job defending (Elliott),” Haagsma said. “We were letting them get over the top of us. So we knew we had to make him earn his shots a little bit more. That was very important.” Late in the second quarter, with Pusch Ridge leading, VC’s adjustments began to pay off. The Trojans put more pressure on Pusch Ridge’s guards, making it more difficult for them to get the ball to Elliott. And soon, VC’s shots began to drop. It took the lead at halftime. But the Trojans still needed a spark. A 3-pointer just seconds into the third quarter from Grijalva got them going. “We knew we had to come out strong in the third quarter because we knew they come out strong,” Grijalva said. “The fact that I hit that three really gave us confidence to keep it going and keep the momentum

throughout the whole game.” F r o m there, Grijalva took over. The s e n i o r point guard drew fouls, created turnovers and found open Trojans along the arc or cutting into the lane.

Grijalva said. “It’s been four years and all I wanted to do was help bring a championship to the school, and I finally did. That chant was for all of us, not just me. It was a team effort.” It was a long journey for the Trojans that tested their composure. Two years ago, they entered the 3A tournament as the top-ranked team but were hampered by injuries. They lost in the first round. A playoff run last season ended in the semifinals after a poor performance. The box score from that game has been hanging on the wall in the Valley Christian gym since the playoffs began. Through the changes in venue, they maintained their composure and accomplished the goal they set upon arriving at Valley Christian. “It’s a relief that we finally got it,” Phillips said. “Ever since my freshman year we wanted it. It’s been a long time since our team has been back here. “We wanted to get this one for the seniors really bad. It feels awesome.”

HAMILTON from page 19

“I was a little worried,” Neider said. “We weren’t making anything. We knew we were due, just playing some odds and hoping. Shay (Deshay Martinez) came in and hit a big three for us, got a little bit of room and took off from there.” Then Hamilton sophomore guard Amyah Reaves knocked down a couple of mid-range jumpers followed by a 3-pointer by Martinez, a senior guard, and Hamilton had 30-24 lead at the end of the third. It then turned to its defense to close out the game. “They were in a little foul trouble so that made a difference for us,” Neider said. “Our defense has been solid all year and we needed them to come through tonight. They did a great job.” STS Managing Editor Colleen Sparks contributed to this report.

The bird is the word in Chandler next weekend BY COLLEEN SPARKS Get Out Staff Writer

he iconic Chandler Chamber Ostrich Festival that will be held for the 31st consecutive year next weekend started as a modest downtown gathering to pay tribute to the odd birds. Now, it is expected to draw 100,000 people who likely are just as fascinated with a diverse array of entertaining diversions as they are with the quirky feathered creatures. The 31st annual Chandler Chamber Ostrich Festival will bring its namesake mascot, along with the world’s largest bounce house, BMX Pros Trick Team shows, pig and dog races, Victoria Circus motorcycle and high-wire acts and numerous carnival rides March 8-10 to Tumbleweed Park, 745 E. Germann Road. The live bands are a big draw and this year the lineup includes Flo Rida, a rapper, singer and multi-platinum artist; the legendary Motown/R&B/funk group The Commodores; and multi-platinumselling pop artist Andy Grammer, known

for his singles “Keep Your Head Up” and “Fine by Me.” But one mainstay that will be missing will be ostrich races. The elderly farmer who supplied the birds can’t make the trip. There will still be 10 ostriches near

the petting zoo behind a fence for people to view as videos show fun facts about the birds. And in place of the ostrich races, the Chamber is erecting a 10,000-squarefoot Big Bounce America bounce house.

It is the Guinness World Record holder for the largest bounce house and offers obstacle courses, climbing frames, giant slides, basketball hoops, ball pits and other interactive fun for adults and children. A deejay will play music in the bounce house at night. The ostrich races have not been the “primary focus” of the festival over the last decade, Chandler Chamber of Commerce president/CEO Terri Kimble said. “We have truly transformed this festival into a true community festival,” Kimble said. “We have over 100 hours of musical entertainment throughout the festival and the festival has really changed over the past several years and it evolved. “Each year we try to bring in something new, something different. We’re really going for an educational component and really kind of beefing that up, including that technology component.” Also new this year is Victoria Circus, a circus and thrill show where motorcyclists ride around in circles in the

Anne Frank’s stepsister to discuss the Holocaust LAURA LATZKO Staff Contributor

uring the Holocaust, millions of Jewish people, gypsies, disabled individuals, gay people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, prisoners of war and others died at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. Those who survived were forever marked by their experiences. For Holocaust survivor, activist, author, speaker and humanitarian Eva Schloss, telling her story hasn’t become easier over the years, but she is driven by a need to educate others. Schloss, Anne Frank’s stepsister, will give a talk on Wednesday, March 13, at the Chandler Center for the Arts. She will be speaking in cities across the country during a six-week visit to the United States. The event is presented by Chabad of the East Valley. Rabbi Mendy Deitsch of the Chabad of the East Valley hopes that Schloss’ talk will leave a lasting impression.

“In 2019, it’s extremely disturbing to me the language, the dialogue that goes on. I’m really hoping that she could help educate, inspire and open up the minds and hearts of people, to live more peacefully and be more tolerant,” Deitsch said. Schloss lives in London, where she moved to in the 1950s to study photography. It was there that she met her late husband Zvi Schloss, a Jewish refugee from Germany. Together, they raised three daughters, who gave them five grandchildren. Schloss was born in Vienna, Austria, and her family moved to Belgium and then Holland following Hilter’s annexation of Austria in 1938. It was in Holland that she met and befriended Anne Frank, who she played with from ages 11 to 13. Schloss spent a year in the AuschwitzBirkenau concentration camp after her family was captured. Her brother, Heinz, and father, Erich, were killed at the camp, and only she and her mother survived.

“Globe of Death.” Performers also engage in high-wire acts and stunts on the ground. Another new attraction will be Big Bee the Transforming Robot car, a technological marvel that transforms into a 15foot robot with a soundtrack and light display. Festival-goers can also be entertained by another new act, BMX Pros Trick Show, where BMX riders and skateboarders will engage in stunts on a street ramp and halfpipe. New activities will also be available in the Imaginology STEM tent, where science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) projects are offered. “Those are all interactive for all ages,” Kimble said. One returning attraction will be Professor Smart’s Science Show – designed to engage children and others in the audience in juggling, comedic performances and other activities. Another circus show returning is Mango and Dango, an unusual theatrical performance including partner acrobatics, aerial arts, juggling, stilt walking, physical comedy, mime movements, chair stacking and other tricks.

And the interactive Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs will be back, giving kids and adults a chance to see “roaming dinosaurs” and dig for fake dinosaur bones. Visitors can also root for their favorite canine in the FIDO 500 Mini Dog Races, where dogs will race in a sprint to the finish line, vying for gold, silver and bronze. Not to be outdone, pigs will also have their time to shine, wearing numbered racing attire as they vie for supremacy on the track. Radical reptiles, pony rides and a petting zoo with exotic and domestic animals will also offer educational entertainment. Food will also give guests variety as vendors serve up big turkey legs, tacos, burgers and innovative desserts. “There’s something for everybody out there from local restaurants and local businesses to traditional carnival food to deep-fried Twinkies,” Kimble said. “They always have fun food.” Nearly 500 volunteers are helping to make the ostrich festival possible. “What makes this festival unique is because of the community participation and involvement,” Kimble said. “This year we have … various nonprofit groups that will be out there pouring beverages and earning money. For every nonprofit

After the war, her mother, Fritzi, befriended and later married Anne Frank’s father Otto Frank, who discovered and published his daughter’s “The Diary of a Young Girl.” Schloss has written three books about her experiences and was the subject of James Still’s play “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank.” Schloss finds it important to share her story because so many people around the world are taught very little or nothing about the Holocaust. “Unfortunately, we haven’t learned,” Schloss said. “At the time, when I came back from Auschwitz, people said, ‘We’ve learned our lesson now. Never again will such terrible things happen in the world. From now on, we’ll all be living in harmony together. There won’t be any more wars, no more executions.’ “But if you look around, there’s been many wars, and there are still persecutions, still prejudices. This is why we really have to educate, especially of course the new generation, the young people, about how dangerous it is. “It was unbelievable because Germans were one of the best-educated people in Europe, and suddenly, they changed

from intellectual, cultured people living in peace suddenly to hating people who lived amongst them who were German or Austrian citizens, to eliminating them in a horrible way, to gassing them,” she said, adding: “It was just something that was so incomprehensible that people said, ‘That can’t be true.’ That is why I have to tell them that yes, it did happen, and it can happen again.” Schloss had to grow up very quickly once she was captured and taken to a concentration camp at age 15. While in hiding, she was able to maintain a semblance of her innocence.

(that) comes out to help, we will give a check back to that nonprofit for their time and helping.” Indeed, she added, “One of the things why this festival has evolved so much is because of the input from the local community. We really listen to what the community has to say. This community has so much talent from the music to the STEM tent. That’s where you’ve seen where it’s really grown and evolved.” The first ostrich festival was held downtown, with the ostrich races held where the downtown library and nextdoor police department are located now, recalled Lori Daniels, a former state legislator. It drew about 25,000 to 30,000 people. “We had empty lots down there then,” Joan said. “It was more like a carnival event, a lot of rides. It was successful. There was a lot of work to be done to bring them the Ferris wheel into our area, into our downtown. I know we closed some of the streets. It is part of our history, if you can imagine ostriches running around in our downtown area.” The ostrich festival parade, usually held on the Saturday of the festival weekend, will not be held this year because of extensive construction going on downtown right now, Kimble said.

“I was actually very sporty,” she said. “I didn’t want to learn at the time, so I missed a lot of school. So, I was behind. Only in the camp, of course, I grew up rapidly. I had to be an adult. And coming back and having lost my family, this was really very, very difficult.” The period after the war was challenging for Schloss. “I was more depressed, more miserable after the war, when I realized I had lost my father, my brother and many, many family members,” she said. “I realized that I could never ever get back to the way that it used to be, and this was really very, very difficult for me to accept. I was more depressed after the war than in the camp because in the camp, I had to use all of my strength to stay alive. “But afterward, I lost my will to fight. But of course, later I got my own family, and this was for me very helpful, to get married, have children and try to live an ordinary life. You get only one chance on this Earth, only one life, and you try to make the most of it.” Schloss sees similarities in today’s world to Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. “People wanted to leave Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia, which was occupied by the Nazis,” she said. “People tried to get into safe countries,

like America, like Canada, like Australia, countries that could have taken in people. But people didn’t want to. This is what we have now, the same problem. “From the Middle East, from Syria, from Sudan, many countries in Africa, people are persecuted. People are killed. People are starving, and they want to leave with their families. And again the world said, ‘No, we don’t want you.’” Schloss hopes to inspire audience members, especially younger ones, to want to bring change in the world. “If they see injustices being done, if things are going wrong somewhere, they have to have the courage to get involved and speak up, so that things get changed,” Schloss said. For 40 years, Schloss didn’t speak about her experiences during the Holocaust. She first got up in front of an audience when an exhibition on Anne Frank and the Holocaust visited London in 1986. “I was invited to come there as part of the audience. At the end, the organizer said, ‘And now Eva wants to say something to you.’ I can assure you I wasn’t ready for anything like that. It was a horrible, horrible moment. I was put in front of 200, 300 people, and then suddenly everything that I had suppressed came flooding out … I realized speaking about it can help to get over it,” Schloss said.
