Nearly 150 EV schools at risk for measles BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

t a time when state vaccination rates are on the decline, almost 150 elementary schools in the East Valley are at risk for a measles outbreak. Using data from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), the East Valley Tribune found that 148 schools in the cities of Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and Tempe have less than 95 percent of their kindergartners vaccinated for Measles Mumps Rubella. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says coverage rates below that number no longer protect those who can’t be vaccinated – such as babies, people with certain medical conditions and pregnant women. Those rates come at a time when measles – once all but eradicated – has become a world-

$28.8M deficit looms as Mesa schools seek override OK BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

EV says farewell to a landmark

esa Public Schools (MPS) is giving voters a second chance to approve a 15 percent budget override that, if unsuccessful again, could leave the district $28.8 million in the red next year. The school board voted last week to move forward with a special override election on Nov. 5, emphasizing a critical need for the property-tax funded increase. Although MPS has been operating under a 10 percent override since 1995, it needs an additional 5 percent in order to stay afloat, according to Assistant Superintendent Scott Thompson. Thompson explained that the district’s big-

gest challenge has been meeting the requirements of the 2016 voter-approved minimum wage referendum. “The primary thing for us is that the minimum wage increase is making it hard for us to maintain a minimum wage for our classified employees, such as bus drivers and cafeteria workers,” he said. “If we’re unsuccessful in making this happen, we will be facing millions of dollars of cuts.” While the current override covers only 8.7 percent of the district’s employees, the district – which serves more than 63,000 students – is struggling to recover from the ripple effect of Proposition 206. Superintendent Ember Conley has already imposed a hiring freeze for all positions except teachers, and a hold has been placed on

all capital projects and expenditures. On top of tackling the wage increase, the school district hopes to funnel more money toward increased school security staffing, attracting and retaining quality teachers and preventing increases in class sizes, said Thompson. “We’re going to focus on other areas that people seem to identify with more, like attracting and retaining good teachers,” he stated. “We’re going to try to change the way we speak bout it so that people can connect a little better about what it is and why it’s better for us.” If the override is approved, Mesa homeowners can expect to pay an extra $14.76 per

An East Valley landmark prepares to fade away BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

ob Gomez and his friends will have to break a tradition and start a new one – whether they like it or not. Fellow retirees Jim Lenertz, Ray Zanini, Charlie Krieger and Mike Rayo find themselves facing the same predicament. What these senior golfers all have in common is that they feel comfortable at ASU’s Karsten Golf Course, where they enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly staff and even the challenging course that they praise as a reasonably priced track in great condition. Although the golfers are not big stars who played Karsten as ASU – legends like Phil Mickelson, John Rahm and Paul Casey – they are sad to see the course, an old friend and adversary, close on next Sunday, May 5, after a 30-year run. Built primarily as the home of ASU’s well-respected and high achieving men’s and women’s golf teams, Karsten also was popular with everyday players. But they now need to find a new track as ASU moves forward with its ambitious Novus Innovation Corridor. It’s not as if there aren’t ample courses available – including ASU’s new golfing home, the venerable Papago Golf Course in Phoenix – but none of them are ASU Karsten, they say. “The whole feeling here has been super. It’s not a fancy club. It’s where we have a lot of laughter and a lot of fun,’’ said Gomez, a retired school superintendent. “We’re going to miss it. It’s kind of emotional for all of us.’’ Gomez would play every Tuesday with his friends for at least 12 years. The group was willing to travel, too, to enjoy the comradery of their weekly outings. Gomez lives in Fountain Hills and his friends live in Glendale and Scottsdale. Lenertz said his group was smart enough to play ASU Karsten from the short tees, making it easier to navigate the humbling series of hazards designed by famous golf architect Pete Dye. Dye is known for his railroad ties, water hazards and moguls – all of which bring average golfers to their knees. “You play from the tips, it’s fearsome,’’ Lenertz said. But that had little to do with why he and his friends kept coming back for years. “The staff, it’s almost become like a family. We’re close by and it’s very local,’’ Lenertz, a retired engineer, said. While there are a lot of golf courses in the East Valley, many of them are too expensive

for the average golfer, said Charlie Krieger, another member of Lenertz’ foursome. “it’s a reasonably priced venue and it’s in great shape,’’ Krieger, a retired San Francisco firefighter, said, making it sad for golfers to see ASU Karsten disappear. Derek Crawford, general manager of ASU Karsten and a former member of ASU’s golf team, has earned the compliments, along with his twin brother, Daryl, who holds the same position at Papago. The two courses are managed by OB Sports. Although Karsten has a strong identity with ASU’s illustrious golf teams, the closure was anticipated and the team has since moved to a state-of-the-art practice facility designed in part by Mickelson, one of the PGA Tour’s most successful and popular golfers. At Papago in east Phoenix, “the golf course is kind of a work in progress. The clubhouse is spectacular,’’ Crawford said, adding that the practice facilities are a significant upgrade over those previously available at ASU Karsten. Even ASU Karsten’s name honors an important figure in Arizona’s rich golf heritage – Karsten Solheim, the founder of Phoenix’s PING Golf. The late Karsten and Louise Solheim, his wife, donated $2 million to help fund the course’s construction. They weren’t alone, with 330 mostly influential people donating anywhere from $500 to millions toward the project, said Mike Conner, senior vice president of operations for OB Sports, which manages more than 400 courses nationwide.

“I would tell you it turned out as it was planned, to serve the golf teams and the golf community,’’ Conner said. “It became very much a family and we worked hard at making it a success.’’ Beyond PING, still a prestigious name in the golf world, the donors included APS, which donated 100 acres; the late Maurice Tanner of The Tanner Companies, who donated 20 acres; and the late Rusty Lyon of Westcor, the shopping mall developers. The course’s opening was during the halcyon days of golf in Arizona, from about 1988-2006, before the recession decimated many industries and especially golf, Conner said. “It’s been almost half my life,’’ he said. “It was very difficult for me to announce it was going away.’’ The boosters work paid off handsomely almost right away. The “Decade of the Devils,’’ a 10-year run of championships, started the year after ASU Karsten opened in 1990, with six women’s championships and two men’s championships. The public embraced the links style course as well, despite its difficulty. Crawford estimates ASU Karsten has logged more than one million rounds of public golf during its 30-year lifetime. Between them, the Crawford twins managed ASU Karsten for about 16 years. Derek Crawford’s approach to the course’s closure was simple, to continue keeping the course in top condition right until the day it closes.

wide epidemic. Mesa Public Schools, the state’s largest district, has the highest number of at-risk schools with 45. Chandler Unified comes in second with 34; followed by Gilbert Public Schools, 33; Queen Creek Unified, 18; Tempe Elementary,12; and Kyrene, six. While public schools make up the majority of at-risk schools, charter schools have the highest rates of vaccine exemptions, DHS data show. The non-district schools make up the bulk of those with coverage rates 85 percent or below – at least 10 percent lower than the safety threshold. Some of the larger charter schools in that category include the Benjamin Franklin Charter School-Crimson and Gilbert’s Arizona Connections Academy, each of which have more than 100 kindergartners. Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association, who has been studying vaccination rates in Arizona since he was the head of the state health department in 2009, said the statistics illustrate a common theme. “There are a couple of trends we’ve seen in Arizona over the years,” said Humble. “One in general is that it’s the higher income families with higher educational levels – both parents have college degrees and an income of over $100,000 – that are the ones we see choosing not to vaccinate. Not because of bad access to care but just because they decided not to.” Humble no longer works with the department, and continues to research and lobby for pro-vaccine legislation through the APHA. Exemptions are expanding More parents nationwide are opting out of state-required vaccines for non-medical reasons. In Arizona, kindergarten exemptions for personal reasons increased from 5.4 percent in 2017 to 5.9 percent in 2018, according to the ADHS. Arizona is one of 17 states in the country that allow personal belief exemptions. Parents or guardians can exempt their children for personal reasons as long as they submit a statement saying they are aware of the potential risks and benefits of immunizations, as well as the potential risks of non-immunization. Children in child care can be exempt for religious reasons. Schools are also required to submit their vaccination data to the state health department every November. While the schools don’t post their data on their own websites, it can be found through the

ADHS website. “I think the answer is to get rid of the personal exemption,” said Humble. “Maybe a compromise instead of all or nothing – what if we said we’re getting rid of the personal belief exemption only for the MMR vaccine? That might be a reasonable compromise.” Maricopa County is among the 60 percent of Arizona counties at risk for a measles outbreak. Haley Elementary School in Chandler has a 92 percent coverage rate for the MMR vaccine. Although the rate is below the threshold, Principal Pam Nephew said she considers the school to be pro-vaccine. “We just want to keep everybody healthy here. There are some people who come in with religious or medical reasons and all they have to do is fill out that form and there’s no accountability,” said Nephew. “Anybody can fill it out – that’s the struggle we have as a school.” “If there were to be an outbreak,” she added, “those children would need to be out of school. That’s basic protocol for any school. That’s difficult because then the kids are going to be missing information.” The school’s coverage increased by one percent from last year, though, going against the statewide trend. Mesa’s homeschool Eagleridge Enrichment Program has one of the highest numbers of unvaccinated kindergartners. More than half of the public school’s 77 kindergartners are exempt. Because the students only meet for class one-to-three times per week, Principal Aimee De La Torre said she isn’t concerned. “I respect the decision they’re [the parents] making. They’ve made the choice to homeschool, which allows more flexibility in all areas of a child’s life,” she said. “We have not had any major scares or anything.” Measles makes a comeback Measles is currently at the center of the vaccine controversy, with more than 650 cases of the disease popping up in the United States since the beginning of 2019 -- including in Arizona. This is the highest number of confirmed cases since it was declared eliminated in 2000, according to the CDC. The disease is highly contagious and

THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | APRIL 28, 2019

early symptoms can include high fever (104-degree range), cough, runny nose and watery eyes, followed by a rash three days later. Those affected can suffer from some serious complications, such as brain trauma, and once in a while, death. The CDC estimates that: • One in 20 children with measles will get pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children • About one child of every 1,000 with measles will suffer swelling of the brain, potentially leading to seizures, intellectual disability or hearing loss • For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die from it Humble said he believes the rise in MMR exemptions can be attributed to a myriad of factors. Although the World Health Organization recently named “vaccine hesitancy” as one of this year’s biggest global health threats, anti-vaxxers are continuing to run rampant on social media, he said. “The social media revolution and the internet made it so much easier for people with inaccurate and misleading information to have a voice and confuse people,” he said. “Vaccine-skeptical and anti-vaccine parents can share misleading information and then grow their cohort of antivaxx people.” The fuel for misinformation stems from a debunked 1998 study that linked immunizations to autism, he explained. In places like Sedona, where vaccine exemptions are particularly high, Humble attributes anti-vaxx attitudes to liberalism and higher education. “It’s this kind of left-wing enclave up there where people are considering their carbon footprint, but won’t vaccinate their kids,” he said, adding: “Vaccines are a social contract you have with your community, and that vaccine you provide for your kid benefits all of the kids in that community – especially kids with special needs and those who can’t get vaccinated.” The health expert also mentioned that today’s generation of younger parents weren’t confronted by measles in the same way that older generations were, so they might not fully understand the seriousness of the disease. What’s being done Despite the growing anti-vaccination movement and several bills in the Legislature that would enable even more exemptions, Gov. Doug Ducey has made it clear he wants a pro-vaccination state. In February, Ducey promised he

wouldn’t sign several controversial bills that would make it easier for parents or guardians to receive exemptions for their children. The bills, which were proposed by Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, seek to expand exemptions while eliminating the requirement that parents sign a state form. They would also require doctors to offer tests determining if a child is already immune. Although the House Health and Human Services committee advanced the bills, state Rep. Kelli Butler, D-Phoenix, who has been a strong supporter for educational vaccine resources, said she doesn’t believe the legislation will get too far. “I feel very strongly they [the bills] would create more vaccine hesitancy and that they would result in less people getting vaccinations,” she said. “I think from a public health standpoint, we need to be making a case that vaccines are important and safe. The more places parents can find that information [vaccine data], the better.” Last year, Butler introduced a bill seeking to require schools to post their vaccination data online themselves, but it didn’t catch wind. The representative said she felt frustrated with the outcome because she believes vaccines should be bipartisan, and is considering re-introducing HB 2352 next year. ADHS will be conducting a pilot program next school year in an effort to educate parents seeking personal belief exemptions through an online course. The Immunization Education Course will require parents at participating schools to read through a series of slides before answering questions regarding vaccination data. Upon completion, they will be able to access the exemption form. Mesa Public Schools will be in the pool of participants, according to Health Services Director Nadine Miller. “Vaccines are very safe and have been around for a long time, but parents questioning them need to have good information to go to,” she said. “Not only is an outbreak devastating to the kids, but think of the resources of our medical facilities and the parents that have to go to work – where do you put your kids now?” The program will enable ADHS to collect data that can help the department determine what strategies could increase vaccine rates across the state.

“It’s very important that we go out on a high note,’’ Crawford said. “We have a job to do through May 5,” he added. “It hasn’t changed since I came on board or when Daryl was here.

Fundraiser aimed at making more dreams come true BY KRISTINE CANNON Tribune Staff Writer

ave Woellner, World War II veteran and Peoria resident, had one wish: to take flight in a Stearman aircraft, the first plane Dave learned to fly in pilot school before he joined the Air Force, just one more time. Woellner’s plane was shot down over Germany during the war, and he became a prisoner of war until the end of the war, his wife, Jean Woellner, explained. Last February, his dream of taking one last flight came true, thanks to nonprofit organization DreamCatchers. It invited Brigadier General Woellner, who was 96 years old at the time and a resident of Royal Oaks assisted living community, to the Scottsdale Airport. “It was thrilling and exciting not only for Dave and myself, but all our friends who witnessed this,” said Moellner’s wife Jean. “[It was] a proud movement for Dave, and he loved it.” Jean added: “He has dementia, but if you came and spoke with him, you would question this. … He remembers it very well and wishes he could go up and fly again. These are his memories.” Dave’s dream to fly again is just one of hundreds of dreams DreamCatchers has granted for hospice patients since its inception in 2009. Since then, dreams the nonprofit has fulfilled include trips to baseball games, helicopter rides, trips to the Washington Monument in Washington D.C., gourmet dinners and more. But for DreamCatchers founder Caitlin Crommett, spending the day with Dave, Jean and members of Scottsdale-based nonprofit Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial Inc., which provided the plane, was one of the most memorable experiences she’s had since founding the nonprofit. “We were expecting him to go up for 10 minutes, but he was up there for an hour,” Crommett said. “It was really awesome just to see him get off [the plane], and he was just looking 20 years younger, as his wife said.” In an effort to not only raise money, but also spread awareness of the nonprofit and the dreams it has granted in Scottsdale

and nationwide, DreamCatchers will host a “Women, Wine and Purses” event and fundraiser at Starpower Scottsdale on May 3. “We want more people involved and more people to know what DreamCatchers is,” Crommett said. For the fundraiser, attendees are encouraged to bring a new or gently used purse valued at $100 or more for a purse exchange. Attendees will receive a swag bag and one raffle ticket for a mystery gift back and will be treated to appetizers and wine. Crommett granted her first dream when she was just 15. Having frequently visited hospice patients while she was in high school, it became clear to Crommett that many of the patients were alone and deserving of celebration. “I really liked hanging out with older people; it’s just my personality,” she said.

“When I actually started meeting some of these patients and seeing how interesting they were and how much they have to share, I [thought], this is a hugely missed opportunity because there’s so many young people that could really benefit from hearing these stories and hearing their experiences.” Crommett then founded DreamCatchers in 2009, and since, the nonprofit has grown from her high school in California to over 30 student-run organizations and clubs in 11 states. Five high schools within Maricopa County have a DreamCatchers studentrun club, including Red Mountain High School and Mountain View High School in Mesa, Barry Goldwater High School, Arcadia High School and Boulder Creek High School. Pinnacle High School will soon be added to the list. Arizona State University and Grand

Canyon University also have DreamCatchers clubs. “Every new chapter that starts, I get so excited because [then] we have a whole other group of students that are going to be exposed to this generation of awesome people they can learn so much from,” Crommett said. The money raised from the upcoming fundraiser in May will go toward funding DreamCatchers’ expansion this summer for new student chapters in an additional four states, including Idaho, Nevado, Texas and Oregon, as well Washington, D.C. “We assist all of our chapters with their first couple of dreams that they grant, so some of the funding will go to the new chapters for granting their first couple of dreams,” Crommett said. “It should be a pretty big expansion this year.” She hopes to attract anywhere from 50 to 60 attendees to the event. For 2019, Crommett would like to increase the DreamCatchers staff, which consists of just one person: her. She said she’s looking for more board members and committee members. “I would love for us to be able to hire some more people to just help us to do more,” Crommett said “This year has really been all about growth in both the chapter side of things and the fundraising side of things so that we can increase our organizational development, as well.” With more than 100 DreamCatchers volunteers, currently, Crommett would like more — specifically adult volunteers. “We always need more adult volunteers to help [the students] stay active and help them grant new dreams,” she said. “Some of our most successful chapters have adult volunteer liaisons that come in and help with dreams. So if anyone’s interested in getting involved, we could definitely place you with a chapter or just let you know of opportunities to participate in Dreams because some of them will need more volunteers to get those done.” Jean appreciates DreamCatchers – and Crommett – for the work the nonprofit does. “Caitlin is a wonderful very young gal, and what she does for people is amazing. She puts her heart and love into what she does, and that is why she is so successful,” Jean said. “She has our blessings, and I speak for many of our friends who were amazed at what she did for Dave.” Tickets for the fundraiser are available until May 2. “I really hope people can go and learn more about DreamCatchers and how they can help and the work we’re doing in the community,” Crommett said.

month per $100,000 of assessed valuation. The election is projected to cost $600,000 – even though it’s mail-ballot only – and because the state-required two-year phase-out begins next year, it’s considered a last-ditch effort for the district to secure its funding. During the board meeting, freshman member Marcie Hutchinson said she thinks it’s crucial the district starts spreading the word about the election as soon as possible. “It gives us the opportunity to say, as a board, that we know this is important. We have studied it extensively and this has to happen,” she said. “The more time we give ourselves to inform our employees, our parents, and even our students who will be voters in November, the more time we can inform people, the better.” She added, “Those that don’t know will vote no.” Once the board calls for an override election, the district is no longer allowed to “campaign” for a yes vote it is only allowed to present the facts surrounding the details of the situation. Thompson said that doesn’t concern him though, because the “facts speak for themselves.” He also told the East Valley Tribune that

Although Mesa Public Schools Governing Board President Elaine Miner asked her colleagues if they wanted to delay a vote on calling for an ovewrride election, the board decided they have studied the matter long enough and the time had come to start the election process in motion. (Special to the Tribune)

Mesa Public Schools is planning on taking a different approach in terms of how it disseminates its information. “It’s harder to connect with voters than it used to be. We have to deal with Instagram and Facebook – people just get their information a lot differently today,” he said. “We’re challenged by that and that’s what we are trying to figure out.” Thompson attributed last year’s failure

– which was the first in Mesa since the first override was approved in 1995 – to confusing ballot language. “While we call it a budget override, on the ballot it’s referred to as budget increase. I think that was at the heart of confusion,” he said. “We’re looking to change the conversation with the community to say we’re talking about a budget increase so that our language tracks with what

they find in the mail.” Last year’s override election lost by about 2,600 votes, but a new “likely voter survey” suggests a more optimistic outcome for the upcoming election. The survey, presented during the meeting, indicates that 56 percent of possible voters would vote for an override, while 34 percent said no and 9 percent were unsure.

Major closures planned on Santan Freeway next month BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

ortions of Santan Loop 202 Freeway are set to close for traffic heading in both directions the first two weekends in May. From 10 p.m. May 3 to 3 a.m. May 6, Loop 202 will be closed to traffic going both directions between the US 60 and Williams Field Road. At the same time on these dates, closures also will be in effect on State Route 24 at Ellsworth Road, the interchange ramps from east and westbound US 60 to westbound Loop 202, and Loop 202 ramps at Baseline, Guadalupe, Elliot, Hawes, Power, Higley and Williams Field roads. Then, from 10 p.m. May 10 to 3 a.m. May 13 Loop 202 will be closed to traffic going both directions between Williams Field Road and the Loop 101

Price Freeway. Other closures on these dates include; the interchange ramp from southbound Loop 101 to eastbound Loop 202, the ramp from Williams Field Road to westbound Loop 202 , and the Loop 202 on and off ramps at Santan Village Parkway, Val Vista Drive, Gilbert, Cooper and McQueen roads, Arizona Avenue and Alma School, Dobson and Price roads. The closers are part of a major project that will fix damage caused in the winter from excessive moisture and heavy traffic, Arizona Department of Transportation officials said. In addition to the repairs, crews will also be adding a fog seal treatment. Though adding the sealant takes more time, it has positive long-term effects. “The treatment helps offset the effects of aging and drying in older pavement, including rubberized asphalt, ex-

tending its life cycle,” ADOT spokesman Doug Nintzel said. Additional projects that have utilized the sealant include the I-10, Loop 101 and Loop 303 in the West Valley and State Route 51 in Phoenix. Nintzel added that closing the freeway in both directions helps crews complete work quickly and reopen sections of the freeway faster. “We’ll have crews following up to patch areas of worn pavement after the sealant is applied, doing that work along both directions in a focused area gives us the best chance of reopening sections of the freeway in stages as the weekend progresses. That’s a big part of our strategy for those two weekends,” said Nintzel. Nintzel said road crews had a positive outcome when shutting down Loop 303 in the west valley for a weekend last year, allowing the crews to open

roads ahead of schedule. “We’ve gained experience as a team,” said Nintzel, adding, “although this time we have added work to patch some of the worn pavement areas on Loop 202, our goal is to reopen sections of the freeway in stages as soon as possible on each weekend.” The dates for the closures, Nintzel said, we’re chosen due to crew availability. Since February road workers have been addressing the most extreme cases of worn roads in the area first, but the two weekends in May were the soonest the team with the capability to apply the sealant after repairs were made is available. For updates throughout both weekends on unforeseen closures and road segment reopening, Nintzel said community members should check ADOT’s Facebook page and @ArizonaDOT.

State GOP chief calls for sales tax hike for schools BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

he head of the Arizona Republican Party is seeking to rally GOP lawmakers to allow a public vote on a plan to boost the state sales tax for education by four-tenths of a cent. At a press conference on the Capitol lawn, Kelli Ward argued that supporting taxes for higher education is a Republican thing. Elected members of her own party so far have failed to provide the necessary votes for the plan by Sen. Sylvia Allen, RSnowflake, to put the issue on the 2020 ballot. Even Ward conceded she is getting pushback from Republicans. She argued, though, that a vote for Allen’s plan is not, technically speaking, a vote to increase taxes. “This ballot referral gives us the opportunity for voters, for everyone, to tell us where they stand on funding education in our great state,’’ Ward said. “Do they feel that we have enough?’’ she said. “Or do they feel that we need more? We’re going to hear from the voters.’’ But neither Allen’s SCR 1001 nor HCR 2024, a mirror measure in the House being sponsored by Rep. Michelle Udall, R-Mesa, have gotten a roll-call vote because there are not enough Republicans who support it – or even referring it to voters. Sen. Vince Leach, R-Tucson, pointed out the plan amounts to a 66 percent increase in the current 0.6-cent sales tax that was first approved by voters in 2000. Leach pointed out that lawmakers already are looking at other new sources of

revenue, including exercising the right of states, granted by the U.S. Supreme Court, to levy sales taxes on online purchases. There also is a debate on which kind of digital products and services should be taxed. “We’ve got to be truthful with the taxpayers and say we’ve got to look at this (revenue picture) in totality,’’ Leach said. And that, he said, requires a holistic decision of “how much of a load can you put on the taxpayer.’’ Gov. Doug Ducey won’t support the plan, even if it just refers the question to voters. “The governor has been clear,’’ said press aide Patrick Ptak. “He does not support raising taxes.’’ What makes Ward’s push for GOP support crucial is that Democrats are not on board – and not only because they ques-

tion whether the extra $472 million a year the tax hike would raise is enough. Joe Thomas, president of the Arizona Education Association, said K-12 education needs at least an additional $1 billion a year. He also pointed out that even Allen’s plan does not deliver all the new dollars to public schools. Her measure divides up the cash, with about $350 million going to K-12, close to $95 million to support keeping tuition affordable at state universities and the balance for community colleges. And there’s something else: Who pays. In general, those at the bottom of the income scale pay a higher percentage of what they earn in sales taxes than those who make much more. Education inter-

tatives to learn more about how they’re advancing Arizona’s business interests in Washington, D.C. Guldner kick-started the discussion by asking Biggs and Stanton for their opinions on the current political landscape in Congress and how they think it will affect Arizona industry. Both politicians, who share seats on the Judiciary and Transportation and Infrastructure committees, agreed that immigration and infrastructure improvements are critical for aiding the state’s burgeoning economy. Stanton said infrastructure improvements across the country would help Arizona continue to thrive as an economically competitive state. “The best thing we can do, in a biparti-

san way, is pass an infrastructure package,” said Stanton. “It’s great for jobs and makes sure people get paid good wages – it will help rebuild the economy,” he said. “The best thing we can do is invest in ourselves.” Back in January, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Peter DeFazio set a goal for a $500 billion infrastructure package from the House by June this year. Stanton explained that Congress is looking at increasing passenger facility charges as a way to fund airport improvements. Public transportation investments are also in the bill, including light rail and bus rapid transport. Internet accessibility is also crucial for successful businesses and fair competition, he added, especially for the state’s

ests and Democrats are more interested in a plan that relies at least in part on increasing income taxes on the wealthiest. Allen sniffed at the idea of using income taxes to make up for funding shortfalls in education. “It is better to tax on what you spend than to tax on what you earn,’’ she said. The senator also brushed aside questions of why voters should increase their own sales taxes when the Republicancontrolled Legislature cut corporate income tax rates by 30 percent, a move that decreased revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars. She defended the move. “We depend very much on the small businesses, our medium-sized businesses,’’ Allen said. Ward had another goal for the press conference: try to change the image of the Arizona Republican Party and the belief that education has suffered at the hands of GOP governors and lawmakers. She said she wanted to showcase “great Republican policies ... and great Republican legislators.’’ The record, however, shows that the cutback in funding to public education occurred under Republican governors. It started with Gov. Jan Brewer who said she was forced to make cuts to deal with the $3 billion deficit she was left with after Democrat Janet Napolitano quit to take a job in the Obama administration. But those cuts continued after Gov. Doug Ducey took office in 2015. State funding per student went from $4,996 in the 2008-2009 school year to $3,854 four years later, even before inflation is taken into account.

2 EV congressmen see same top priorities BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

mmigration and infrastructure reform were focal points at this year’s Statespersons’ Luncheon, where U.S. Representatives Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., shared their insights from the nation’s capital. Around 100 people – including legislators, local officials and business professionals alike – packed into the East Valley Institute of Technology’s Culinary Arts School last week for the PHX East Valley Partnership’s annual luncheon. Moderated by Arizona Public Service President Jeff Guldner, the annual event is designed to connect East Valley business leaders with two Congressional represen-

tribal communities. “Internet and internet accessibility, particularly in some of our poorer neighborhoods, is important,” Stanton said. “The digital divide is real and there’s a federal role to make sure some of our lower income neighborhoods have access to highspeed internet and rural high-speed internet – including the tribal communities.” The House recently passed a net neutrality bill, “Save the Internet Act,” to which Stanton added an amendment that would guarantee tribal communities access to broadband capabilities. More than 20 Native American tribes inhabit Arizona. Biggs echoed Stanton’s opinions on the importance of the infrastructure bill, but

pointed out that there is still no clear way to pay for it. “The questions are ultimately, ‘what will be in the package and how are we going to pay for it?’” he said. “I would say we’re still in an uphill climb position. I think that it is very important that we contextualize any major spending packages going forward.” There was initial talk of raising the federal tax on gasoline and diesel, but so far, no long-term funding sources have been identified. Biggs added that the current national debt is $22 trillion. On top of infrastructure improvements, Stanton said immigration reform is another top-tier priority. Through a new and improved Dream Act, Arizona would strengthen its location and relationship advantages with its Latino population, he told the audience. “What needs to happen is we need to pass a clean Dream Act so that young Dreamers have the opportunity to have affordable higher education,” he said. “Instead of using young Dreamers as pawns

for larger efforts on the border wall, we need to provide those young leaders a path to citizenship so they can take a rightful place as leaders in our community.” The new proposal includes a path to permanent citizenship for many Dreamers, which are undocumented immigrants

who arrived as minors, but doesn’t include provisions on border security or immigration enforcement funding. While Biggs said he believes the bill will pass on a party-line vote through the House floor, it won’t make it past the Senate – an obstacle the Dream Act has faced

in the past. Future trade with Mexico though, he said, is looking optimistic. “When you talk about trade with Mexico, the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) is still being re-worked, but I believe it’s going to be passed and it will improve the economy immensely,” Biggs said, adding: “It’s going to make trade fairer so we can compete with imports coming into this country and we are also going to be able to compete with exports.” Toward the end of the luncheon, the moderator opened it up to audience questions. One woman asked the representatives if they have suggestions for ensuring that the leadership in the East Valley is more representative of its diverse population – especially when it comes to women. “I think just we have to continue to reach out and I think it’s moving that direction now,” said Biggs. “It may not be happening as fast as maybe as you want it to, but I think it’s moving that direction. I think there’s good news ahead of you.”

Texting-driving ban is law despite EV opposition BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

our East Valley legislators were on the losing side of a vote that gave final approval last week to a comprehensive statewide ban on the use of handheld cellphones by motorists. Gov. Doug Ducey signed it into law on Monday. The 44-16 vote by the House on HB 2318 came after lawmakers defeated a version with many of the same restrictions but a crucial difference: It would have been a secondary offense, allowing police to cite offenders only if they were pulled over for some other reason. Voting against the measure were Reps. Travis Grantham and Warren Petersen of Gilbert and Mesa Reps. Kelly Townsend and Michelle Udall. Several weeks ago, several East Valley senators also voted against the measure. They include Chandler Republican J.D. Mesnard, who introduced a competing distracted driving bill, SB 1141, that also was approved by the House. Other senators who voted against it included Eddie Farnsworth of Gilbert, David Farnsworth and Tyler Pace, both Mesa. “We are only one of three states in the entire nation that does not ban text messaging and driving even though we know the frightening statistics,’’ Rep. Noel Campbell, R-Prescott, told colleagues. He has been a champion of making texting while driving and the use of handheld cellphones a primary offense, allowing police to stop motorists solely because they are breaking this new law. Campbell noted that Arizona cities and counties already have their own versions. Under the state law, which takes effect in 2021, a first-time offense would result in a fine of between $75 and $149; subsequent violations could lead to fines up to $250. But lawmakers also voted 31-29 for SB

to Grantham, is that it is overly broad. He pointed out that, as approved, it does more than make it illegal for a motorist to have a cellphone in hand. It would also be a violation if someone “supports (a cellphone) with any part of the person’s body’’ unless the motorist is also using a hands-free device. “That could be sitting in your lap,’’ he complained. “That’s way restrictive.’’ House Majority Leader Petersen-Gilbert, said it would be one thing if the legislation was limited to things like texting or checking social media. But he said there’s nothing inherently dangerous with talking on a cellphone, even without a hands-free device. “There have been people who have driven their whole lives holding their phone up, talking on their phone, that have not had an accident, myself included,’’ he said. Petersen said it would be one thing if this was “We’re going to make an awful lot of people lawbreakers with this bill.’’ That people can talk and drive did not impress Rep. Randy Friese, D-Tucson, who said “That doesn’t mean its safe,.” But Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, said HB 2318 actually can lead to less safety. He pointed out that people get Amber alerts about missing children, and silver alerts on missing seniors, on their cellphones, information which includes a description of the vehicle being sought. House Minority Leader Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, specifically addressed the survivors of Clayton Townsend, an officer with the Salt River Police Department who was killed when he was struck by a texting motorists while conducting a traffic stop. “I understand the pain of what happened, of losing these officers,’’ said Rep.

What will be forbidden? The new law will make it illegal to “physically hold’’ or “support with any part of the body’’ any cellphone or other portable wireless communication device while operating a motor vehicle. The law bans not only chatting on the phone but

What are the key exceptions? Drivers can make calls if they use earpieces, headphones or any type of device worn on a wrist to conduct voice communications. Vehicles with built-in interfaces with cellphones also are exempt as long as they can be operated with minimal interactions, meaning simply to press a button to active or deactivate.

People also can get and send texts translated into voice. What about other types of devices? The same restrictions on holding a cellphone also apply to any “stand-alone electronic device.’’ That means anything with stored audio or video

What about watching live TV? That already is illegal. But the new law clarifies that statute does not apply to mapping services which update images

Any operations that are not subject to the law? Motorists can use a cellphone to “report illegal activity or summon emergency help.’’ Not subject to new restrictions are licensed amateur radio operators and fleet drivers with commercial licenses

Gilbert fire captain accused of molesting girl, 8 BY CECILIA CHAN Tribune Staff Writer

long-time Gilbert firefighter accused of sexually molesting an 8-year-old girl on Easter Sunday during a 50th birthday party is scheduled for a May 3 preliminary hearing. Capt. Michael William Palmatier, 47, faced three felony counts of sexual conduct with a minor, kidnapping and indecent exposure, according to Maricopa County court documents. A judge approved a court-appointed attorney and set bail at $250,000 for Palmatier. The judge also mandated conditions if he made bail and is released from the county’s Fourth Avenue Jail. Palmatier would need to wear an electronic ankle monitor, be monitored for alcohol and drug use and have no contact with the victim, her family, witnesses or any minors. Palmatier did not speak at the court appearance. Palmatier also was ordered to find another place to reside because the victim lived in the same Queen Creek neighborhood. Gilbert spokeswoman Jennifer Harrison in a released statement said the town was aware of the arrest and pointed out the alleged incident occurred when Palmatier was off duty. She said Palmatier worked for Gilbert from Oct. 22, 1997 to April 24, 2019. “Prior to his arrest, he resigned from employment with the Town of Gilbert,”

Ditto if you’re at a stop light or waiting for a train to clear a railroad crossing. But a stop sign doesn’t count. Nor does being stopped for a school bus. What are the fines? A first offense carries a minimum fine of $75, up to $149. Subsequent violations result in fines of at least $150 and no more than $250. But the offenses accumulate no points on a motorist’s license.

He was handcuffed immediately after first meeting privately with fire command staff and personnel. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office was contacted April 21 by the victim’s family after the girl disclosed the alleged assault.

The man, whom she later identified as Palmatier, also exposed himself to her, acThere is an exception: Licenses can be suspended if someone is violating the new law and causes a serious injury or death.

The girl tried to escape but Palmatier “grabbed her arm and said ‘wait,’” but she forcefully yanked her arm away and ran into a bathroom where she locked the door, the statement says. Once the door was locked, Palmatier said, “please forgive me,” to the girl, who responded she would if he gave back her shorts, which he did not do, the document said At some point, the girl unlocked the door and Palmatier was no longer in the room. She saw a relative and called for help. According to an unnamed Gilbert firefighter who was at the party and has known Palmatier since 1998 when they both attended medic school together, Palmatier has a “serious drug and alcohol issues” and was drinking on the day of the alleged crime. He also told investigators that Palmatier once taught at the college level and “has a penchant for young females around college-age.” In building a case, investigators arranged for people who knew Palmatier to call and engage him in conversation over what allegedly occurred. The calls were taped. In one conversation, Palmatier stated he was drunk and thought he was kissing someone else and not a child. When confronted the girl was 8, Palmatier “began uncontrollably crying and apologized” and stated “he let his demons get out.”

What else is new? One provision that takes effect immediately requires the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) to now start testing would-be drivers on the effects of using cellphones and similar devices. Another new section allows MVD to suspend the commercial driver’s license of someone who violates the law.

What about the “distracted driving’’ law? That is a separate bill that went to Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday which allows

In a subsequent call with another person, Palmatier claimed he thought it was someone else and not a juvenile he had contact with. The woman caller told Palmatier she didn’t believe he could confuse an 8-yearold girl with an adult woman and also didn’t believe that he was drunk because he was able to make his way home. “Michael admitted the entire thing was wrong but he would never knowingly do anything sexually to a juvenile,” the document said. Palmatier told the caller he didn’t expect her to believe him and added, “Yeah, I have a sick side to me like a sexually sick side to me but not in that way,” according to the document. Although Palmatier claimed not to recall molesting the youngster, he agreed with a caller that 8-year-olds don’t make up things like that and “he continued to narrate how he recalled every minute detail of when he was similarly victimized as a child,” the document said. During the last several minutes of the one-party consent call, Palmatier said, “this isn’t me and I finally got caught,” according to the investigator. The caller confronted Palmatier on that statement, and he replied he actually meant he “isn’t one of those people who fantasize about children and then get caught,” according to the probable cause statement. The investigator noted Palmatier’s statement “did not fit the conversation direction, and sounded awkward.”

That measure, if approved, would take effect later this summer. Ducey said he is still reviewing that measure. Do these bills conflict? The texting and cellphone use ban is stricter in the sense that a motorist can be cited solely for holding and using the device, even with no indication that it’s affecting the person’s driving. But the distracted driving bill, while requiring some indication of affecting the operation of the motor vehicle, can be applied to just about anything unrelated to actually controlling the car or truck.

Chandler students’ project hitches ride to the heavens BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

ot even the sky is the limit for the Andersen Middle School ThinSat Club in Chandler: The young students sent their very own satellite into space on April 17. The satellite hitched a ride with the NG11 mission rocket delivering supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Students will soon begin receiving information on wind speeds, ultraviolet light, air pressure levels and more as their creation drifts among Earth’s lower orbital zone. The club represented the only Arizona school with the chance to utilize the ThinSat program on an outer space mission. The opportunity for Andersen students is part of an effort by Virginia Space, Twiggs Space Lab, Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems and NASA Wallops Flight Facility to get youngsters interested in science, technology, math and engi-

neering career fields. Eighth grader Cash Pace however, knew

long before the opportunity to build a satellite that he wanted to dive into space

exploration and work for NASA when he’s older. “This is a great resume builder,” said Pace, who added he has dreamed of working for NASA for as long as he can remember. “I think maybe if NASA sees I’ve worked with satellites before they might give me a job someday, and that would be just so cool.” Though he is still in middle school, Cash is already taking advanced high school-level math classes, which he said helped him understand some of the language used to describe the functions of the satellite. In addition to applying his math knowledge to the construction of the satellite, the program taught Cash, and his peers, a life lesson or two along the way. “I learned a lot about pressure. Not like atmospheric pressure,” Cash laughed. “Like actual pressure. I mean we did some

All-female Mesa robotics team pumped for contest BY HALEY LORENZEN Tiribune Contributor

Mesa women’s autonomous underwater vehicle team is one of only two allfemale groups competing this summer in RoboSub, an international robotics competition. Desert Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering, or Desert WAVE was founded in fall 2018. The student organization consists of 15 members at Arizona State University’s Polytechnic Campus in east Mesa. This is the first year the team is competing in the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International RoboSub competition, held annually in San Diego for groups from middle school to college undergraduate and graduate level to compete for $20,000 in prizes.

“We want the male-dominated teams to stop thinking of us as a female team. So how do you do that? You have to become a threat,” said Faridodin “Fredi” Lajvardi, Desert WAVE’s mentor from the Si Se Puede Foundation in Chandler, one of their

sponsors. Only 21 percent of engineering and computer science bachelor’s degrees are awarded to women, and only 13 percent of the engineering workforce is made up of women, according to the Society of

Women Engineers. “The question is why? Do girls realize that they’re going to be in a class of all males, and they decide they don’t wanna

test runs, but once the rocket takes off that’s it, that’s the only chance you have to get it right, there’s no going back.” The ThinSat Club produced their final product, which was slightly bigger than a floppy disk, in three phases before the rocket’s launch. The first two utilized a low and high altitude balloon test flights that carried the prototypes while students attempted to connect to the satellite from the ground. Joe Badala, a Project Lead the Way teacher who also oversees the ThinSat club, said the trials were not without error. “I mean we were popping the balloons on stuff before we even got to send the satellite up,” Badala said. “But we learned a lot. Not just about how to not pop balloons but how to tweak our satellite and make it as good as we could get it before we sent it to space,” he added. Once students receive data from their satellite, Badala said they will be answer-

do it? Do they think they can’t do it? I mean what is it that makes them do that? My theory is that there is no support system,” said Lajvardi. Lajvardi worked in the public-school system for 30 years before retiring. In 2004, his robotics team at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix won a national underwater robot competition, beating the revered Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After 30 years, Lajvardi said he asked himself where there was an area with a need for his experience and skills, so he began looking at college programs. He said he noticed that the number of women in engineering drops off dramatically in college compared to high school. For many of the women in DesertWAVE, going into the engineering field was ini-

ing questions they have prepared. “Really the goal is to get the kids to start thinking about how they can experiment to get answers to things that are happening in the world around them and beyond,” said Badala. “I hope [the students] never stop developing questions about the world and seeking answers to them.” On the day of the launch, Badala hosted a party for the club which included a viewing of the rocket going to space and a galaxy cake. Students wore their ThinSat shirts, as they huddled around the computer watching the launch of the ISS rocket. The club members talked about their anticipation to connect to the satellite and the students are looking forward to receiving data from it soon.

tially a difficult decision. “I began as a mechanical engineer a couple years ago and it’s totally different. I see more women than I did before for sure,” said Crystal Torres, an ASU freshman who is majoring in mechanical engineering systems. “This was like 8 years ago, there was probably me and one other girl. I actually got discouraged from pursuing an engineering degree because it was overwhelming and there was only one other girl,” she said. Paulina Garibay Jaquez – a freshman majoring in robotics engineering with a secondary focus in autonomous vehicles – belonged to her high school robotics club and knew she wanted to combine her passions for automotive engineering and robotics. “I feel like being on this team, being all women, that fear is taken away, because

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES AND SUDOKU from Page 21

we’re all women and we get along really well,” she said. The team meets throughout the week, working on electrical, programming and 3D printing for the robot even though conflicting schedules make it difficult to gather together. Desert WAVE’s robot, named Phoenix, is being programmed to maneuver through an obstacle course in which it will need to “see, hear, and think on its own,” said Andrea Schoonover, a junior majoring in software engineering. The team’s robot is equipped with two cameras, and it uses passive and active acoustics in order to ping its location off of its surroundings and navigate the course. The obstacle course is located in a testing pool at the San Diego Naval Base. Each robot will need to be programmed to navigate the course as well as accomplish

tasks, such as hitting a target with a soft torpedo. “There are different difficulty levels, so you want to attempt the ones that you know for sure you can get points on,” said Schoonover. Although WAVE members are excited to compete this summer, Lajvardi said they are frustrated by a lack of funding from outside corporations. “A lot of people are interested in funding a weekend coding for women, thinking that’s going to change their life goals, and then they can pat themselves on the back for helping women in STEM,” said Lajvardi. “So here we are, women doing STEM, where’s the sponsors? Where’s all the people who want to change the world?” Desert WAVE will be competing against 67 other teams. “I can’t wait to see peoples’ perceptions change,” said Lajvardi.

Area Realtors honored for their productivity

ume; Tyler Blair, My Home Group, for top group units closed; Christopher Karas of Launch Real Estate Group for top group/ volume; Carol Rose, Keller Williams East Valley, for team units closed; and Andrew Bloom, Keller Williams Arizona Realty, for team volume. Phoenix awards and their winners were: Top Individual/Units Closed, John Fagundes, AZ Real Estate and Property Management; Top Individual/Volume, Karl Tunberg, Midland Alliance Real Estate; Top Group/Units Closed, Other winners included Sally Cashman, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty; Top Group/Volume, Ed Carleton, Capstone

Realty Professionals; Top Team/Units Closed, Kelly Cook, Keller Williams Arizona Realty; and Top Team/Volume, John Gluch, Launch Real Estate; HomeSmart took Top Brokerage awards for both units closed and volume. The awards were started in 2017 by Heidi Zebro, director of sales acquisitions for On Q Financial Inc. She and her employer wanted to acknowledge some of the top Realtors in the East Valley, but reduce the element of subjectivity as much as possible by looking strictly at data culled from the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service. She wound up attracting about 150 Re-

altors and public officials to her first gala in 2017. Last year, the number of attendees doubled. “The real estate industry is one of the most intriguing and followed segments of any thriving metropolitan area,” Zebro said, adding the “BREA Awards specifically recognizes the performances of the top producing real estate licensees on a local level.” In addition, a new award was added this year in honor of a West Valley Realtor, Mark Parris, who died in his sleep at age 44 last fall. He had suffered from sleep apnea. Scottsdale Realtors Joseph and JoAnn Callaway won that award, given “to an outstanding individual in the real estate community who represents the gift of promoting others, making others know their value, professionalism and integrity.” The Callaways, who have a long history of community involvement, received the award from members of Parris’ family, inclouding his parents and a sister, during an emotional tribute. All proceeds from the event went to The Foundation of Blind Children. The foundation’s mission is to “provide education, tools and services that enable all persons with vision loss to achieve greater independence.” The media sponsor for the event was Times Media Group, publisher of the East Valley Tribune.

were in areas that have now become expected: stores that sell furnishing, clothing and accessories. These are sectors of the economy that have been hardest hit by competition from online retailers. Overall, the state added 7,100 private sector jobs in March. And that was enough to drop the unemployment rate to 5 percent. Arizona still remains far above the national jobless rate of 3.8 percent. But Doug Walls, director of labor market information for the state Office of Economic Opportunity, said that’s not an indication of weakness. It comes down to how the numbers are

calculated: The state determines how many people are working and how many are looking for work. Walls said the number of people entering the workforce in Arizona, whether as first-time workers or people moving here, is much stronger than the rest of the country. In fact, the month-over-month growth in the number of people in the workforce -- working or looking -- is up 3.4 percent in Arizona in the past month versus just 0.8 percent nationally. Put all that together in the formula and the Arizona jobless rate is going to be higher than the rest of the country. One thing that may bear watching in

the coming months is employment in both wholesale trade as well as transportation and warehousing. Federal customs and border officials have stopped inspecting commercial trucks on Sundays, diverting the staffers to help deal with the surge of migrants. That will most immediately affect the flow of produce from Mexico. But it also could slow the flow of Arizona goods south of the border. And none of that takes into account the possibility the Trump administration will redeploy other federal employees along the border, further slowing the flow of people and goods.

Construction job boom continues in state BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

he state’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate ticked down a tenth of a point in March in what, by all indications, was a pretty unremarkable report. On one hand the state’s construction industry continues to boom, adding 2,800 jobs last month and 16,700 in the past year. That latter figure was enough to post a 10.8 percent year-over-year gain. But Arizona also lost 900 jobs last month in wholesale and retail trade. On an annual basis the biggest losses

Hot-car deaths can reflect a brain malfunction BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

he was 18 months old, the news stories tell us, the daughter of married parents in their mid-thirties. She perished on a warm April Monday afternoon in a Glendale apartment complex, shut inside the family’s four-door sedan. Left behind, the reporters explain. Forgotten by her family. Exposed to the car’s steadily rising heat “for at least a few hours,” according to Glendale police. If you have lived in Arizona for any length of time, you know that we see stories like this almost annually. Just last year, a Phoenix dad, 44-year-old James Koryor, was convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to three years in prison for the death of his 2-year-old boy left for hours in a hot car.

A key point: While the child’s death was an accident, Koryor was dead drunk at the time, having swilled at least a bottle of gin. So, what of the parents of the Glendale toddler, cooperating with police at press time and reportedly distraught over the death of their daughter? Do they deserve our compassion? Or do they deserve the cold steel of handcuffs? My take: Absent extenuating circumstances uncovered by investigators — drinking, a drug haze, willful concealment of evidence — I believe we have witnessed a tragic accident but not a crime. A horrific death like this strikes me not as criminally negligent parenting, but as an unusually tragic malfunction of the brain. It’s the layman’s terms theory best articulated by Dr. David Diamond, a psychological researcher who has spent the last 15 years studying such deaths. Diamond’s latest paper, published in the March issue of Medicine, Science and the

Law, uses neuroscience to explain how such failures of prospective memory — the brain’s ability to execute a plan in the future — can happen to otherwise wellintentioned caregivers. As Diamond explains it, factors like stress and sleep deprivation can cause our brains to fail to “remember to remember” key points. So can distractions or acting on “autopilot” during habitual behaviors. Diamond uses neuroscience to explain how competing parts of the brain can allow the basal ganglia — which control habitual action — to override the hippocampus and the frontal and parietal cortex, which allow us to follow through on prospective memories. This brain glitch, he said, can erase the intention to remove a child from a car seat. The same brain failure also explains why we forget to flick off our headlights, why cops sometimes leave their guns in the restroom and why I sometimes head

to the bedroom to fetch a book or a sweatshirt, only to forget why I came. Diamond has served as an expert witness in several of the more than 400 hot car deaths that have occurred in America over the last 20 years. His opinion: Because the parents lacked the intention to harm their children – they should not be punished as criminals. My version: While our gut reaction may be to loathe parents who fail so catastrophically, we instead should follow our intellect, not our emotions. Again, absent extenuating circumstances, I would not further punish the parents in the sad tale of this dead Glendale toddler. I understand the impulse to see such parents shamed and jailed. But the cell this mother and father live in forever after will be the one shame and guilt create for them. Surely that will be worse than any sentence we might hand down in memory of the little girl they somehow left behind.

Ashtin Webb escapes moldy situation, finds home BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

shtin Webb was at the movies with friends when he learned the upstairs floor of his family’s home was covered in two inches of water. “The pipe to the toilet burst for no reason,” Webb said. “My parents, brother and sister were scrambling to get it covered. It was crazy.” The ceiling was opened to let the floors dry. Not long after, Webb’s parents, Chris and Erin, became ill. Toxic mold was discovered after the house was tested in September. Everything was gone. “We had to get rid of everything,” Webb said. “I had to get rid of all of my clothes, baseball gear, everything. Our furniture was gone, our cars were even totaled because they came in contact with the mold.” The Webb family spent the next month moving from hotel to hotel before settling in an apartment near Greenfield Road and U.S. 60, nearly 8 miles away from their home on Ellsworth and Guadalupe roads. Because Webb is homeschooled, he is required to play baseball for a school within the boundaries where he lives. The move put him in Mesa High’s boundaries, forcing him to leave the Desert Ridge baseball program. But it’s a move he doesn’t regret. “I love these guys,” Webb said. “It’s awesome that they welcomed me with open arms when I came out here.” Webb was able to buy new baseball gear with the help of his siblings, Christian and Jordyn. He made Mesa’s varsity roster as a sophomore, and immediately made an impact. He batted .372 this season with 14 RBIs and 2 home runs. He was third on the team with 41 put outs. “Him being just a sophomore and showing how much talent he has, it’s great for the team,” said senior captain

Jacob Hanna, a Mesa Community College commit. “He struggled at first but is a key piece to our lineup.” Losing all of his belongings was difficult, but he remained positive. Baseball became his release. It helped him keep his mind off of everything at home. “I know God has a bigger plan,” Webb said. “It was tough for all of us but we know we can get back on our feet. It was nice that I have these guys. They helped me come out here and not think about it.” The way the Mesa program rallied behind Webb during a difficult situation speaks highly of each player’s character. Senior captain Jonas Rogers believes this year’s team was closer than in years past. The chemistry the team shared on and off the field was one of the main reasons for Mesa’s success this season. “This season we are able to hold each other accountable,” Rogers said. “We know mistakes happen but we try to take advantage of every opportunity.” Logan Tucker, Mesa’s fourth senior captain, recognized the team’s maturity level during tough situations this season

as one of the turning points of the program. “We are a lot more mature,” Tucker said. “We want to help the young guys stay up and be successful even after we are gone.” Mesa’s season came to a heartbreaking close on Wednesday night as the Jackrabbits lost to Skyline, 4-1, in the 6A play-in tournament. Finishing the season with a 14-9 record, however, it is still an accomplishment. It’s the first time since 2015 Mesa finished with a winning record. Of the many goals the senior class had this year, one was to prove Mesa High was more than just a basketball school. They did that despite falling short in the championship tournament. “We workout with the basketball team in the summer and have friendly competitions with them,” senior captain Carson Hoopes said. “We started to believe that we can do just as good as them in our sport like they do in theirs.”

First-year Mesa baseball coach Ray Figueroa believes the job with the Jackrabbits fell into his lap for a reason. He immediately realized just how talented and special the team is and has led them to the tournament for the first time in over a decade. (Zach Alvira/ Tribune Staff)

Mesa’s Jacob Hanna is one of four of the baseball program’s senior captains. He is looked upon by Figueroa as a high-character kid that helps the team both on and off the field. (Zach Alvira/Tribune Staff)

Each senior’s willingness to lead by example both on and off the field while also going out of their way to care for others on the team has left a lasting impression on first-year coach Ray Figueroa. Figueroa wishes things wouldn’t have gone the way they did Wednesday night. He wishes he had more time with the senior class. “I feel bad for the seniors,” Figueroa said. “I’m going to miss those guys. I wish I had them when they were freshman and I wish I had them for a few more years. They’re good kids.” Before Mesa, Figueroa spent two seasons as the head coach at Apache Junction, where he led the Prospectors to a state title. He took a nine-win North High baseball program and turned it into a 13win team last year. Now he can say he has the Mesa program pointed in the right direction, too. But he remains certain about one thing: None of that would be possible if it weren’t for the legacy left behind by the senior class. “They did everything we asked them to all year, they played hard,” Figueroa said. “Because of them, people will start opening their eyes and see what this school is all about. “There’s something really good here.”

Trower looks back at life on his latest album BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

GetOut Editor

luesman Robin Trower calls his latest album, “Coming Closer to the Day,” the best he’s done. Sure, a lot of musicians say that, but the English rock guitarist and vocalist means it. “It’s just really by practice,” Trower said logically about his collection, which already has hit stores. The 73-year-old guitarist – who played every instrument on the album except the drums – has had a late bloom of creativity, he said. In recent years, his solo output included 2014’s “Something’s About to Change,” 2016’s “Where You Are Going To” and 2017’s “Time & Emotion” setting up some of his best-attended U.S. dates since

“Bridge of Sighs” in the mid-’70s. For the last three albums, he’s taken on a different recording process, one that he finds works well for him. “I’ve learned the best way for me to record is to do three or four days and then I have a bit of a break, then I record for three or four days, and then I have another break,” he said. “I can get some objectivity then to what I’m doing. I spread it out quite a bit. I purposely don’t listen to it (during the break). That way I can hear what needs to be improved or not.” “Coming Closer to the Day” was recorded at Studio 91 in Newbury, England, with engineer Sam Winfield. “‘Diving Bell’ is probably my favorite track on the album,” he said. “‘Truth or Lies,’ that one was quite hard to pull off. I love the song, but I recorded it once and wasn’t happy with it, so I started from scratch again. It’s got quite a strong early R&B flavor to it. “That song is not really about me. I’m writing from the viewpoint of a guy whose loved one has been messing around. ‘Someone of Great Renown,’ again, that

song isn’t about me, but it’s maybe someone that I’d like to be.” A personal song is the title track, “Coming Closer to the Day,” which acknowledges life is short and time is precious. “I’m saying that I’m nearer the end than the beginning,” he explained. “But that doesn’t scare me. Not at all. If I went

tomorrow, I’d feel like I’d been blessed with being able to achieve an incredible amount as a musician.” “Lonesome Road” is a nod to touring and “how long I can go on with it. “That’s definitely coming from my heart and head,” he said. “‘Ghosts’ is about things from the past where you didn’t do right in your personal life. ‘Don’t Ever Change’ is an out-and-out love song: a very nice, easy vibe, but still quite soulful.” Besides his own touring, Trower will spend this year promoting a project with Maxi Priest. The album is set for release in the fall. “I might do some shows with that group,” he said. “We were both produced by Livingstone Brown; Maxi is still produced by him. When I was at Livingstone’s studio, he was mixing my last album. Maxi said something about writing together. I’ve always loved his voice. I thought it was a great idea and we did it.” For now, he’s on his own tour, which comes to the Celebrity Theatre on May 2. He’ll be accompanied by Richard Watts on bass and vocals, and Chris Taggart on drums.

Audience has role in Children’s Choir concert BY COLLEEN SPARKS

GetOut Staff Writer

he audience will get in the driver’s seat at an unusual concert where children will sing different genres. The Chandler Children’s Choir will perform the “Choose Your Own Concert Adventure” concert at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 4 at Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave. The concert is modeled after the children’s books in which readers decide at certain points in stories what action the main character will take. Readers’ choices lead to different twists and turns in the plot and audience members’ decisions will prompt the choir to sing different songs in the concert. “What we’re doing is the audience is going to be the character and we’ll have a voiceover like reading the book,” said Aimee Stewart, artistic director and cofounder of Chandler Children’s Choir.

“I think they’ll be excited to be involved in the story,” she added. “We need their (audience) engagement, we need their input. It’s going to be a very differ-

ent format.” The choir will start by singing “When You Wish Upon A Star,” and then the audience’s choices will dictate which songs

they perform after that. The plot will be about a character longing for adventure the night before their birthday. If the audience chooses a particular gift it will lead to a trip to Spain while another choice would lead to Ireland. For example, the choir will sing a Spanish song if the audience picks Spain and an Irish jig if the public selected Ireland. “We have folk songs, lots of humorous songs,” Stewart said. She added that the songs will represent different countries and time periods. Stewart said the idea for the chooseyour-own-concert-adventure theme came from Adam Stich, director of choral music at Scottsdale Community College, which performed with that audience engagement for its choir and orchestra. “I thought that would be so fun for a children’s choir to try,” she said. Chandler Children’s Choir is partner-
