"If more people attended the board meetings, they'd have a much more positive impact on the school," he said. "Too many people believe they can't do anything.

If they only knew what one voice can do, it makes a great deal of difference." School finance, boosting test scores and communication are issues that the Balsz district needs to address, he said. Sandra Dowling, Maricopa County School superintendent, chose Tarzwell from three candidates who applied. The other two were Barbara Brown Kain and Stella Petshow. Tarzwell will replace Clayton Lord, who resigned from the board in June. He will be sworn in Monday.

Schulze, meanwhile, made two more trips to California over Rand's objections, but with the judge's permission. She spent Christmas with her parents and watched her sister graduate from college in June. Each time she returned to Arizona and she continued to comply with court rules. Until the month of her trial. After passing 147 consecutive drug tests, Schulze didn't show up for testing Sept.

1, 1995. Then, she missed her next four appointments and a weekly check-in call Sept. 1 1. But no one realized it until Sept. 15, when she didn't show up for her final pretrial conference.

By the time the judge robed up for the hearing, Schulze had long since sold her car, run up her credit cards and bolted town. It was only after her no-show that court officials filed a notice that she'd missed five tests over the previous 1 5 days. Perry Mitchell, who runs Pretrial Services, said no one realized she'd Phoenix Urban League is an affiliate of the National Urban League.

The Arizona Opportunities Industrial Center is also a non-profit group that helps Phoenix residents with job training.

There is a need for a school like Enterprise, especially in central Phoenix where there is a large minority population, said Gene Blue, president and chief executive officer of Arizona OIC. "It's critical that ethnic minorities be exposed to the business world, not just from a work perspective but from an ownership perspective," Blue said. "We believe our academic curriculum will do that." By Betty Reid The Arizona Republic PHOENIX What will you be when you grow up? Educators at Enterprise Academy, a new charter school at Sixth Avenue and Grant Street, would like kindergartners to answer that question by the time they enter first grade. Sponsored by the Greater Phoenix Urban League and the Arizona Opportunities Industrialization Center, this charter school plans to integrate a business philosophy in its academic curriculum. It will 1 stress careers to children in addition to reading, writing and math.

"We will set high standards for students, we will build their confidence and we will stress ability to get along and respect people," said Jim Williams, managing director of Enterprise. "We are serving all kids. Anybody can come to this school. We'd like to have a multicultural population." Enterprise plans to open its doors to 350 children in kindergarten through sixth grade in the first year.

Kazan, of course, urged the judge to allow Schulze to remain free without having to post a bond, and O'Hair-Schattenberg went along with that.

At the urging of the heartbroken Maher family, the judge did at least order Schulze to be monitored by the court's Pretrial Services Agency, taking drug tests three times a week and checking in weekly by phone. It was, at least, an attempt to keep track of Schulze, and it worked for awhile. Three weeks after the bond hearing, O'Hair-Schattenberg had a change of heart. She returned to court to request a change in the conditions of Schulze's release. Her office had finally figured out that Schulze had no real ties to the Valley a key consideration in predicting whether someone is likely to flees But Kazan, objected, saying O'Hair-Schattenberg had shown no real concern about getting his client into custody before.

She'd even agreed that Schulze could go visit her parents in California, and she hadn't even accepted an address and phone number where Schulze could be reached when it was offered. Nothing had changed, Kazan said, so why force her to post bail now? The judge, Barbara Jarrett, agreed with Kazan. Within a few weeks, O'Hair-Schattenberg was taken off the case, and a short time later, she resigned to become a Tempe municipal judge. She declined, through a city court spokesman, to discuss the case, saying it would be inappropriate for a judge to comment on an ongoing investigation. However, Bill FitzGerald, a spokesman for the county attorney's office, defended her handling of the case.

He said his office sought a bond as soon as people there realized Schulze had weak ties to the community, and that they didn't go after her driver's license because they were out to convict her of manslaughter. As for an arrest that first night, FitzGerald said that wasn't O'Hair-Schattenberg 's call to make. "The police agency has to make that determination themselves because they're the ones doing the investigation," he said. Scottsdale's Sgt. Mike Anderson said it's not that simple.

"We work with them and come up with a decision jointly to benefit the public," he said. The Schulze case slogged on through the justice system in late 1994 and 1995.

Once they noticed the first one or two misses, they still wouldn't have notified the judge or prosecutor, Mitchell said, because Schulze had complied with court-ordered testing for a year. "She was a role model pretrial defendant up until the time that she absconded," he said. That is little solace to Rose Marie Maher, who this week begins her fourth year of living without her daughter, knowing that the woman responsible for her daughter's death remains free and that nobody is doing much of anything about it. "She killed my daughter, but she really destroyed our home," she said.

"We had a home full of love and laughter. It's now full of tears and grief. She didn't just kill my daughter. She took everything, and it's too bad. They just let her walk away." No one in the court system has an answer for Maher.

The case, they say, was treated as any other like it. This one just got away. For his part, FitzGerald believes Schulze will be captured someday. "She has a warrant out for her arrest," he said. "She will have to be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life." Maybe he's right.

Maybe they will catch Gloria Schulze one day. But the question is, if they catch her, can they hang onto her? Laurie Roberts can be reached al 675-7477 or laurie.roberlsdvpni.com.
