THE HAIL STORM OF OCTOBER 5TH 2010 AND THE DEER VALLEY SHINGLE PILE

By Chris Keeley

THE DEVASTATING HAILSTORM IN PHOENIX ARIZONA OF OCTOBER 5, 2010 AND ITS LINGERING AFFECTS STILL PERSIST IN DEER VALLEY AIRPARK. If you were here you remember it well. Hail, some as large as 2 inches in diameter, pummeled huge areas in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale and Mesa generating a path of destruction for miles. Cars, by the thousands, looked like they were pounded with ball peen hammers. Over 150,000 homes required new roofs. Contractors, including shingle recyclers, poured into the Phoenix market to profit from the devastation. That brings us to the shingle pile in Deer Valley Airpark today.

There is a 10-acre pile of roof shingles just off Pinnacle Peak and Central Avenue in Deer Valley Airpark ready to be recycled. All those roofs damaged in

that hailstorm ended up here. At least four recyclers came into the Phoenix market after the storm. All but one took in shingles and then vacated the state with the money. The recycler at Pinnacle Peak stayed. Eventually each pile was moved to this site. Shingle recycling is a vey common practice in many states but it’s new in Arizona.

In fact there are a few states that won’t allow shingles into their dumps and require it be recycled. There are about 200,000 tons of recycle material currently on site and the city of Phoenix just approved a Temporary Use Permit to grind the material on site to turn this pile into asphalt material.

Though this material cannot be used on ADOT roads it can be used for county roads, private roads, driveways, and ground cover or dust control. About 1 acre has already been recycled into fine asphalt pellets and removed from the site.

Ten acres of recycle material

approximately 20 feet high did not end up in our dumps in the Phoenix area from the hailstorm of 2010.

Through the cooperation of the City of Phoenix and a private recycler we have gone green with this material. About 99 percent of the pile is recyclable material. The finished product is about 97 percent pulverized asphalt shingles, 1 percent plastic, 1 percent glass and 1 percent wood. The finished pulverized asphalt is called Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles or RAS. RAS can be mixed with virgin asphalt and used for nonADOT roads in Arizona, county roads, private roads, driveways and parking lots with significant savings. RAS also works extremely well for dust control when used with a binder that

prevents the spread of material like gravel spreads.

Many Deer Valley residents have inquired what that “Mountain of Shingles” is on Pinnacle Peak. It took about two years of full time deliveries to build it. We hope to report in about two years that pile has become roadways and driveways, parking lots and ground cover all over Arizona and we have turned a disastrous hailstorm into a green energy success story.

PHOENIX WAGE GROWTH STRONGEST IN U.S. IN YET ANOTHER SIGN OF STRONG ECONOMIC MOMENTUM AND GROWTH IN QUALITY JOBS, THE PHOENIX METRO AREA EXPERIENCED THE HIGHEST WAGE GROWTH IN THE NATION OVER THE PAST YEAR. Wages in the Valley jumped 7.6 percent between July 2016 and July 2017, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Here’s a closer look at the numbers: Top 10 metros by increase in average hourly wage, July 2017 over July 2016 “MSA Rank” is based on July 2016 metropolitan statistical area population by the U.S. Census; “Rank” means percent change in average hourly wage yearover-year

“We’ve been laser focused on building a more innovation-driven economy that works for everyone, and we’re seeing great results,” Mayor Greg Stanton said. “This significant private-sector wage growth is being driven by advanced industries like technology, biosciences, healthcare, financial services and precision manufacturing.”

The average hourly wage grew by nearly $2 an hour over the past year in the Phoenix metro area and is now $26.75, 1.5 percent higher than the national average of $26.36.

Overall, the Phoenix metro area ranks 23rd in wages, but it’s quickly heading in the right direction. Before the Great Recession in 2007, advanced industries accounted for less than half of the workforce in Phoenix (46 percent). Now those higher-talent, higher-wage jobs make up more than 60 percent of the Valley’s workforce.

HI, MY NAME IS...

PROFILE ON LOCAL BUSINESS: RAQUEL L. JARVILL MY COMPANY & TITLE IS….

Raquel L Jarvill, PLLC, a luxury home realtor with Keller Williams Arizona Realty. I also serve as President of Starlight Community Theater, a volunteer driven non-profit community theater organization here in the North Valley.

A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE INCLUDES… enjoying the amenities of the beautiful Anthem community, working with real estate clients on their real estate goals, checking in with our adult children who are studying in other states, practicing piano and singing, attending a rehearsal of an upcoming production or a performance at Starlight Community theater, and enjoying time with my wonderful husband.

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING/WORKING IN THE DEER VALLEY AREA IS… two-fold, the friendly people who live and work in the area and the businesses that are investing in the local community, enriching our quality of life.

YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE YOU COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING AND WHY...

Top Gun is a favorite and I have a special affection, honor & respect for our men and women of the US Armed Forces. My father is retired from the US Coast Guard and I worked for the Navy Exchange for many years early in my career.

MY FAMILY… Is a great blessing! Each one of them inspires me to love unconditionally, serve by example, and strive for excellence.

THE BUSINESS LESSON I LEARNED THE HARD WAY IS… Integrity is an important characteristic of people whom I choose to work with.

ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT… My faith.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE… Living the American dream – have a loving husband and family, own a home, be successful in my career or owning a business, and involved in the betterment of my local community. I love the opportunities we have in the USA! THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS...

Great Is Thy Faithfulness a hymn as performed by Jordan Smith or, if not available, I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton as performed by Whitney Houston.

THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS… My husband, a brilliant man of integrity and humility whom I love, admire and respect.

THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… The talented cast & director at rehearsal of You Can’t Take It With You at Starlight Community Theater.

They are so talented and the show is very funny! Come and laugh with us Oct. 13- 22! www.StarlightCommunityTheater.com/tickets THE PERFECT DAY WOULD BE… Enjoying life together with my family at the beach resort or a Disney park, singing, making music, laughing, playing games (and winning!), conversing about what we can do in contribution to the people of our communities locally, nationally, and globally.

MY FIRST JOB WAS… A regular weekly gig when I was in seventh grade as a piano accompanist for a Lake Washington School District Children’s Honor Choir in Kirkland, WA. All those years of practicing and sight-reading music paid off!

MY LIFE… Is an adventure, full of love, joy and contentment with loved ones, great family and friends.

I’M CURRENTLY WORKING ON… Adjusting to our young adult children each pursuing her/his life’s calling and the quiet environment at home now being empty nesters.

THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS...

The marriage to and the unconditional, continuous love of my husband. He keeps our journey through life adventurous and I look forward to what lays ahead, growing and maturing alongside him.

THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE OF MY LIFE IS...

Lea Solonga, Nicole Scherzinger, or Anna Maria Perez de Tagle. Each are accomplished, beautiful, talented possibilities.

MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE TO… Travel around the world with my husband, visiting other countries meeting the people and experiencing their culture, visiting relatives where they work and live, and hopefully meeting up with our children at some locations, possibly working with them on short term medical missions.

MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWNERS...

Integrity and kindness in business relationships are remembered and leave long lasting impressions, grow long term repeat business, and reap beneficial referrals.

CLOSING UP SHOP? GET THE PROS TO HELP PROFESSIONAL LIQUIDATION EXPERTS CAN HELP BUSINESS OWNERS GO OUT WITH A BANG, INSTEAD OF IN DEBT

B

usinesses close their doors all the time and for a variety of reasons. Whether a retail store is planning to downsize, close, retire, or just needs to raise cash for their business, there are professional retail consulting and liquidation companies that provide the tools, techniques and solutions to maximize the highest dollar return and convert inventory and other business assets into cash.

How can professional liquidation experts possibly help? Bob Nelson with POWER Retailing — a company that specializes in high impact liquidation strategies and new breakthrough ideas — has plenty of insight into the situation.

“For most people, closing a business is probably one the most important finan-

cial decisions they will ever make,” says Nelson. “They’ve invested time, effort, and money in it. Maybe now is the time to benefit from it. A plan that is tailored to fit the store image and get the highest possible dollar return requires dozens of specific details, a precise marketing system, and a highly strategic plan.”

For instance, these days, modern consumers are literally bombarded by sales and advertising message. But Nelson knows how to break through the clutter. “Today’s customers are a bit jaded. They see 20 percent off or 50 percent off sales signs all the time, but customers always respond to goingout-of-business sales and when they see ‘Everything must go!’ signs they’ll come racing in.”

Surprisingly, companies like Power Re-

tailing really can make a difference by: • Providing timing and duration strategies: How to plan, advertise, and launch going out of business sales with far less effort and expense.

• Providing high impact marketing tools and techniques: Custom signs and compelling advertising layouts to create urgency, excitement and fun

smarter, build teamwork, control profit margins, and sell to the bare walls The long and short of it is, if you plan on closing up shop, it is well worth the time to hire a professional liquidation team to help. They’ll help business owners go out on a high note and move on to the next stage of their lives.

• Providing specific guidelines and checklists to organize, merchandise and price merchandise • Providing proven techniques for dealing with staff, landlords, banks, creditors, and store vendors • Strategies on how to work

EDUCATION

JEFFERSON PREPARATORY EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITION

AS A TOP U.S. HIGH SCHOOL

L

ocated on 51st Avenue and Bell Road, Jefferson Preparatory has had a meteoric rise in the charter world. Established in 2013, at the urging of parents from sister school Adams Traditional Academy, Jefferson began with only a 9th grade class. Jefferson increased by one grade level per year. In the fall of 2016, Jefferson added a middle school and gained accreditation through AdvancEd. In May 2017, Jefferson graduated its first senior class. The class of 30 graduates earned over $500,000 in college scholarships. When US News and World Report released their annual list of “America’s Best High Schools”, Jefferson Preparatory was included. A recipient in the bronze medal category, Jefferson is recognized as being in the top 16 percent of high schools in the United States.

Art, Music, P.E. Every day.

Kindergarten registration begins November 1 www.dvusd.org www.facebook.com/dvusd

How does a small charter high school gain national recognition in such a short period of time? “From the beginning, our academic emphasis has been on developing critical thinking skills,” commented Tawnya Mecham, Principal.

“Our motto is that we teach our students ‘how’ to think, not ‘what’ to think. As a result, our students meet the academic challenges of a college preparatory school with great success.”

Despite size, Jefferson offers high school students a wide range of options for core subjects and 31 different electives, from computer design and robotics to 3D art and band. College concurrent and duel

enrollment classes increase the number of learning options available. Student to teacher ratios can be as small as 10 to 1.

Mrs. Mecham emphasizes that academics are not all Jefferson has to offer. “We recognize that successful students need to feel as if they are part of a strong school community. While academics remain the focus of the school, sports, band, drama, and a wide variety of clubs develop a sense of belonging and inclusion within the school. We are excited to add a swim team and an adventure club to our extracurricular activities this year.”

Jefferson Preparatory is committed to helping close the gap between standardized test results achieved by Arizona students and those of students nationally. The Condition of College and Career Readiness 2017 report issued

by ACT stated over 2,000,000 students (or 60 percent) of 2017 graduates took the ACT in the 2016-17 school year. Of that number, 33 percent did not meet expectations on any of the four ACT content area tests and only 27 percent met expectations in all four content areas. The 2017 ACT national composite score was 21, Arizona students achieved a composite score of 19.7. Students in New Hampshire achieved the highest composite score of 25.5.

More information on Jefferson Preparatory can be found on www.

JPHSChoice.org, or call (602) 595-2990.

SUCCESS STARTS EARLY. Principal Mecham reviewing the student newspaper with students.

KINDERGARTEN PARENTS: HOW TO REINFORCE LEARNING AT HOME

K

self or make requests. If he or she is asked what they want to eat and drink at a restaurant, let your child reply, even if you know the answer.

To help your child throughout the kindergarten year, here are a few ways to support these key areas of development at home:

• SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS: Children will use social-emotional skills every day once in kindergarten, whether they’re asking a teacher for help, being polite to classmates or following instructions. Scheduling a fun, unstructured play date is a great way to let children interact with peers, helping them learn to share and express themselves through play.

• VOCABULARY AND ORAL LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT: Encourage your child to communicate through words. Have your child tell you a story, asking questions that invite description. For example, if your child says a dog was chasing a stick, ask what color was the dog? Did he run fast or slowly? Was the stick big or small? In public, give your child opportunities to speak for him or her-

• SMALL MOTOR CONTROL: Developing small motor skills can be as easy as coloring with your child and cutting with scissors - anything that gets those fingers and toes moving! Other great activities include putting puzzles together, building with blocks, throwing, catching and kicking a ball, riding a tricycle as well as activities like running, jumping and climbing.

indergarten is an exciting time for children, but it can also be stressful -- not just for little ones, but for parents, too. Although each child is unique and develops at his or her own pace, most educators and experts agree that four key areas of development are essential for further growth and achievement in school.

At Imagine Bell Canyon, we offer:

terns, edges, or other visual details the pieces share.

Try not to compare your child’s mastery of letters, sounds and numbers to classmates. Children will be learning at their own comfortable pace.

The teacher is practicing these skills with your child, and you can help by continuing to reinforce them at home.

is Fun!

• ATTENTION TO SENSORY AND VISUAL DETAIL: Paying attention to one’s senses is a mindful practice that can help prepare children for the academic world of kindergarten. Noticing textures, smells and tastes, and using language to describe these details, fosters vocabulary development and encourages children to compare and contrast their experiences. At snack time, ask your child to describe the food with words like sweet or sour, crunchy or juicy, rough or smooth.

When playing with puzzles, ask your child to sort the puzzle pieces and then describe what colors, pat-

AUTUMN IN ARIZONA – PUMPKIN PATCH SEASON HAS ARRIVED!

By Jill “MamaBug” Frier

T

emperatures are slowly starting to drop, leaves are beginning to change up north and everywhere you look are pumpkin patches, fall festivals, haunted houses, and Halloween costumes and decorations. Autumn is officially arriving in Arizona and we want to share our favorite places to celebrate Pumpkin Patch Season this fall. Most of these locations are open on weekends

throughout October, but be sure to check out our Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival List to get specific details on dates, hours and websites – for all of these venues and many more!

MACDONALD’S RANCH MacDonald’s Ranch in north Scottsdale is one of our family’s annual favorites. We make time every year to visit the ranch’s pumpkin patch, which is only accessible by horse drawn hayride. The first stop at the

ranch is their old Western town, just inside the entrance, then on to the pony rides, games, hay bale maze and other fun activities. We always pick out a least a couple of pumpkins (they have a great range of sizes), so either save the hayride to the pumpkin patch for last, or bring a wagon to carry your load.

Special note: wear sunscreen, a hat and very comfortable shoes – this is a working ranch and you’ll be walking through the desert to enjoy all that the ranch has to offer.

MORTIMER FARMS We love to visit Mortimer Farms in the cooler climes of Dewey, Arizona. This working farm has a fantastic Pumpkin Festival, and includes activities for older kids and grown-ups on Friday and Saturday evenings. Mortimer Farms not only has a real live corn maze, hay rides, and pumpkin patch, it also boasts a zipline, nightly barn dance, karaoke, pig races and an official “Pumpkin Chunkin’” competition! This Pumpkin Festival is

worth the trip, and is a great way to cool off during our not quite cool yet Octobers in Phoenix.

PIONEER LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM HARVEST FEST The Pioneer Living History Museum on I-17, just south of Anthem, is a great place to enjoy some fall festivities, and learn a little about Arizona history. The Pioneer Harvest Fest has a pumpkin patch, hay rides, gold panning, a BB Gun Range, crafts, games, food, live entertainment and more. You can enjoy the festival and visit the Pioneer Living History Museum village to see buildings restored from historic sites around the state. Check out their website for a full list of activities and see what special events are happening each weekend.

COVER STORY

pumpkin characters, Saguaro cacti and scarecrows, all artfully carved

by Ray and his team. It will also feature several special events on different weekends, including instructional carving nights, costume contests, and weekly activities such as the “Adopt a Pumpkin” patch, pumpkin pie eating competition,

corn maze, face painting, arts and crafts, a new harvest market, food and a local craft beer garden. We can wait to see those delightful pumpkins and carvings first hand.

These are just a handful of the many fun fall venues that you and your kids can enjoy in the Phoe-

nix area. Be sure to check out our Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival list for many more venues around the Valley and in Arizona, and watch Ladybug’s Blog for more ideas.

Watch Ladybug’s Blog for more ideas at www.LadybugsBlog.com

TOLMACHOFF FARMS Right in the heart of Glendale, Tomachoff Farms is a real working farm and home to one of our favorite pumpkin patches to visit every year. The farm has a huge pumpkin patch, a mini corn maze for the little ones, and a haunted corn maze for bigger kids. They also have a great petting zoo, train ride, hay pyramid, corn box, adult and child pedal cart track, giant jumping pillow and much more. Tomachoff Farms is a great place to take your kids and hosts many field trips from schools around the valley. Go enjoy some shady trees, fresh air and pumpkin farm fun in the West Valley!

CAREFREE ENCHANTED PUMPKIN GARDEN It’s hard to believe that the Enchanted Pumpkin Garden in Carefree, Arizona has free admission.

The garden features beautiful, whimsical pumpkin carvings from master sculptor Ray Villafane and the Villafane Studios team. It is open to the public and woven throughout the four acre Carefree Desert Gardens – right on Easy Street in Carefree, Arizona.

NATIONAL PARKS AND MONUMENTS BETWEEN

THE GRAND CANYON AND PHOENIX

By Jill “MamaBug” Frier

O

ne of the most fascinating things about Arizona is the vast number of National Parks and Monuments in our state. There are spectacular views in every nook and cranny and so many places to see that you could travel for a year and not see the same thing twice.

Officially, there are 22 National Park Service Units in Arizona. This translates to almost 12 million visitors and $1 Billion in economic impact for our state every year.

The National Park Units include three National Parks (Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Saguaro) and 13 National Monuments (Canyon de Chelly, Casa Grande Ruins, Chiricahua, Montezuma Castle, Navajo, Organ Pipe Cactus, Parashant, Pipe Spring, Sunset Crater Volcano, Tonto, Tuzigoot, Walnut Canyon and Wupatki). Here are some of the National Parks and Monuments that are easiest to reach when travelling between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon National Park, a must see for the Grand Canyon State.

WUPATKI Wupatki National Monument is an amazing example of pre-historic Native American settlements in the Southwest.

As their website poetically explains, “Nestled between the Painted Desert and ponderosa highlands of northern Arizona, Wupatki is a landscape of legacies. An-

cient pueblos dot red-rock outcroppings across miles of prairie. Where food and water seem impossible to find, people built pueblos, raised families, farmed, traded, and thrived. Today, if you linger and listen, earth and artifacts whisper their stories to us still.” A piece of desert history, beautifully captured in wellpreserved ruins that are now easily accessible to most visitors.

SUNSET CRATER VOLCANO Want to know what it looks like after the volcano eruption cools?

Want to walk next to a lava flow? Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument lets you do both. It gives you a view of fascinating geological formations that are the result of a volcano that erupted just 900 years ago.

Beautiful views and fascinating geology reside just outside of Flagstaff – this is a great site to visit when heading to or from the wonders of the Grand Canyon.

WALNUT CANYON Walnut Canyon National Monument is a beautiful place to visit the tall pines and take a hike among the ruins and cliff dwellings in the upper elevations of Northern Arizona. There are easy rim trails and more difficult trails down into the canyon.

This is a great place to get out of the heat, see the high desert and stop on a road trip when travelling between Phoenix and Grand Canyon National Park.

TUZIGOOT If you enjoy seeing the history of desert people in the southwest as much as Ladybug, you will definitely want to include Tuzigoot Na-

tional Monument in your road trip itinerary. Visitors cannot only see the ruins of an ancient village built by the Sinagua people, they can walk through the rooms and touch the walls of the structure. The monument is located just outside Cottonwood, down the mountain from Jerome, so be wary of the heat in the summer months. This is a definite must see if the weather is mild.

MONTEZUMA’S CASTLE Montezuma’s Castle National Monument is the first National Monument Ladybug ever visited, and a quick, easy stop off Highway I-17. One of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America, this is a lovely place to stop on the road from the Grand Canyon to Phoenix. Take a break or have a picnic and enjoy the shady trees while taking in a breathtaking piece of North American history.

Of course visitors won’t be able to stop at every one of these spots in a one day journey, but each is worth a trip and a visit in its own right. The next time you want to get out of Phoenix for a day trip or adventure, or are returning to Phoenix from a trip to the Grand Canyon, consider one or more of these National Parks or Monuments in your travel plan.

REAL ESTATE

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART – AND MONEY – IS

By Erik Tinker

I

t may be time to start keeping up with Joneses again, Phoenix.

The National Association of Realtors’ July housing report showed that cheap home sales are down and luxury home sales are up. Sales of homes priced at $100,000 or below dropped by 14 percent year over year. On the flip side, sales of million-dollar and higher homes jumped 20 percent since last July.

There has been a return and rise of luxury custom homes in the Valley and this has transpired for a multitude of reasons. One reason is due to job growth. There are a number of corporations moving their business to Arizona and many more forecasted to do so. An example of this is Tempe’s large State Farm office, which now houses a number of high-level,

highly paid executives to Phoenix.

In addition, as the Arizona economy continues to grow, so do executive salaries. This means executives already living in the Valley are now making more money and are looking for a luxury upgrade in a home. New executives are also moving into town with the intent of purchasing luxury and higher-end homes.

has helped to contribute to the influx in luxury home purchases.

As a spec home builder, these factors have contributed to my desire to build luxury homes in Metro Phoenix.

Although the price of land and construction has increased, I have

created margins by bringing together a top architect and interior designers to ensure my homes feature expensive finishes. I am building larger than what is typically built in the area, too.

Erik Tinker is the founder of custom homebuilder Tinker Development.

When the market crashed 10 years ago, many homeowners had to foreclose and walk away from their homes. This affected their credit and, ultimately, their finances. Buyers are in equity positions for the first time since the crash. They are able to qualify for home loans and those that have homes, can leverage their homes if they so choose. Furthermore, lending guidelines have softened for Jumbo loans. The limit for Jumbo loans in Arizona is $424,100. Since the rates are extremely low for these loans, this

Reviewed by A.D. Beal LOGAN LUCKY A family (Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough) with a possible curse and a famed demolition expert (Daniel Craig) head to the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Coca-Cola 600 race to pull off a major heist.

Steven Soderbergh’s (Ocean’s Trilogy, Magic Mike) has returned to feature films after a brief four year retirement. Not only is it incredibly funny, it also has surprisingly heartwarming moments, mostly with Jimmy Logan (Tatum) and his daughter Sadie (Farrah Mackenzie). The supporting characters, like Sylvia (Katherine Waterston) and Dayton (Sebastian Stan) also give memorable performances, despite their small screentime. The film’s editing also deserves praise, especially for rarely jumping back and forth

between characters talking. Soderbergh’s return has started with a (pun intended) bang.

IT A group of preteens (Jaden Lieberher, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Chosen Jacobs, Wyatt Oleff) come together to fight a shapeshifting evil (Bill Skarsgård) that is responsible for the deaths of several children.

What I love about It is how character focused it is. Director Andy Muschietti (Mama) dedicates a great amount of time to getting to know The Losers Club, and they feel real as a result of it. That’s not to say that the film doesn’t have any effective scares (which I won’t spoil of course). And of course, Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise is both frightening and strangely funny. Also worth mentioning is Chunghoon Chung’s excellent cinematography.
