The Road to a Green Economy is About to Get Rough. Go Solar Before August 31st Deadline!
By Erick O’DonnellThe financial unpredictability of utilitydistributed electric power has been a consistent theme in this column. We have argued repeatedly that the cost of electricity could potentially rise faster than incomes and consumer prices overall, and so far that has been enough to convince our customers—as well as homeowners around the country—that locking in energy costs with a rooftop solar system is a sensible investment.
But now, homeowners are faced with two impending challenges. First, and most time critical, the export rate, the means by which homeowners recoup their solar investment costs, will be reduced August 31st, making it imperative that homeowners who are interested in solar decide quickly. Homeowners who sign up for solar after August 31 will be paid 10 percent less for the extra energy their systems produce and export to the grid (receiving 7.6 cents per kWh from APS rather than 8.5 cents per kWh). To realize the same economic benefit from their investment, these homeowners will need a system that’s larger and, hence, more expensive.
All this means that if you are interested in going solar but slow to commit, you’re between a rock and a hard place. It’s especially important now, before the end of August, that homeowners go solar so that they can avoid getting squeezed from both sides.
Second, the potential for such a massive price hike is starting to look like a sure thing. That is because of widespread uncertainty and worry over the EPA’s recent proposal to
drastically shrink power-plant emissions, which foreshadow a rocky path ahead for utilities with significant greenhouse-gas-emitting assets.
As with any other air-quality requirement, the EPA has to show that feasible technologies exist that polluting companies can use to comply with the agency’s proposed rules, and the agency says it has done so. In fact, the EPA has described the cost impact of its requirements— including a 90-percent reduction of emissions by 2035—as “negligible.”
Yet certain facts and contrary assessments cast doubt on that claim.
Carbon capture and storage—the technology necessary to comply with the agency’s proposed 90-percent-capture rule— has not quite proven itself as an actual long-term industrial asset. None of America’s plants use it to any significant degree, and, as Politico noted in an article earlier this year, “only one coal plant in the U.S. has ever installed it on a commercial scale, and equipment failures and billions of dollars in cost overruns plagued its few years of service.”
As the technology’s name implies, capturing the carbon dioxide is only half the task. There is no infrastructure for transporting CO2 to the places where it must be stored and little movement toward changing that, according to Politico.
Finally, other actions the federal government has taken don’t exactly shore up confidence. On the same day that EPA’s proposed rule was published, the Department of Energy announced an up-to-$45.5-million grant “to advance carbon dioxide (CO2) capture
technologies.” Not “implement” the technologies, but “advance” them, presumably from a, well, not-so-advanced state of development.

Comments on the proposed rule reveal widespread uncertainty and consternation over the feasibility of CSS, among other aspects of EPA’s rule, suggesting that a smooth transition could be less certain than assumed. Every letter we read that came from an affected industry requested an extension to the EPA’s 60-day period for receiving comments, citing either the complexity of the EPA’s proposed rules, doubt over whether compliance would be as do-able or painless as the agency predicted, or both.
And, whatever its operational readiness, the technology is expensive. The research that the EPA relies on shows the cost of electricity generation (per unit of energy) roughly doubling with installation of CSS equipment.
It’s not hard to figure out what all this means for energy consumers. According to the law of supply and demand, plant shutdowns and technical difficulties entail higher energy prices. Solar power, unlike carbon capture, is a proven and reliable technology, and it offers families freedom from the increasingly heavy burden of dirty energy. But if you’re considering going solar, time is running out to secure the best deal.

IN THE BUSTLING PHOENIX METROPOLITAN AREA, NEW VENUES FOR WHOLESOME FAMILY FUN HAVE ALWAYS FOUND A WARM WELCOME. The Valley has just added another feather to its entertainment cap, presenting a delightful new locale where daylight brings joy for all ages, and evening hours promise sophisticated enjoyment for those over 21. Welcome to Puttshack Scottsdale, now unveiled in the heart of Scottsdale Quarter.
Puttshack isn’t just your run-of-the-mill mini golf experience. It’s a fusion of futuristic technology and traditional fun, offering an indoor golfing experience that caters to both children and adults. Nine innovative holes may not seem like a full round, but the technological magic embedded within the course layout ensures that each putt is memorable.
Beyond the greens, Puttshack Scottsdale offers a fullservice restaurant and bar, enhancing the enjoyment with delightful refreshments. The mini golf game gets an innovative twist, with golf balls boasting patented technology that automatically links to your game profile. This revolutionary feature lets players focus less on scorekeeping and more on the thrilling experience.
Here’s how the scoring works: A hole in one nets you 50 points, two shots earn 40 points, three shots bring in 35 points, and it scales down to 15 points for 9 or 10plus shots. Bonuses and hazards along the course can either amplify your score or pose exciting challenges. Pricing is modest and varies with age - $14 for ages 13 and up, and $9 for the younger players.
The venue invites guests to enjoy their drinks on the course, with dedicated spaces at each hole to rest your beverage. The bar is stocked with a variety of drink options, from specialty cocktails and a range of beers and wines to an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages and mocktails for non-drinkers or underage players.
And for those with an appetite, Puttshack’s menu offers a wide array of appetizing dishes. From zesty steamed edamame and Maryland crab dip to a selection of delectable flatbreads such as the mighty meatball and margherita extra, there’s a dish to suit every palate. Salads, sandwiches, and burgers round out the menu, leaving no one hungry.
Located at 15059 N. Scottsdale Rd., #100, within the Scottsdale Quarter, Puttshack welcomes families until 8 p.m., after which the venue caters exclusively to patrons aged 21 and over.

Paradise Valley Unified School District Streamlines
Access to Nutritious Meals, Urges Families to Apply
The Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVSchools) is taking strides to support families in their community by urging them to apply for free and reduced meals as part of the National School Lunch Program. The process is aimed at ensuring children receive nutritious meals to boost their academic performance.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/4998843bbde4de59e4174898caad888b.jpeg)
Camille Unruh, the director of Nutrition and Wellness, says, “The process is simple, and the benefits can be significant. Families participating in the program have access to nutritious food, which can help improve their children’s academic performance.”
Eligibility for the program is determined annually by income guidelines. If a family’s household income falls within these thresholds, they may qualify for free or reduced meals at school.
“PVSchools encourages all parents to submit a free and reduced meal application annually, regardless of their income,” says Unruh.
Applications can be submitted online at ezmealapp.com and are usually processed within 24 business hours. Paper applications are also available at each school. However, processing paper
applications can take longer. Once a paper application is completed, it should be returned to the school’s kitchen manager.
Information about meal prices and menus is available on the Nutrition & Wellness webpage in both English and Spanish.
Completing the form can offer additional benefits besides meals. Eligible families can receive reduced registration fees for Advanced Placement (AP), SAT, and ACT tests, as well as discounted rates on costs associated with applying for college and participating in other extracurricular programs.
The National School Lunch Program provides free or reduced-price meals to qualifying students. Breakfast and lunch are offered at no charge for students who qualify. The program operates in all schools in the district and applications must be completed annually at the start of each school year.
In other news, PVSchools is hiring kitchen staff at various locations. Those interested in joining the team are urged to contact the Nutrition and Wellness office at 602-449-2274.

This approach fosters a love for learning while stimulating cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Carefree Christian Preschool offers an array of age-appropriate programs designed to meet the unique needs of children at different stages of early development. From the nurturing infant and toddler program to the dynamic preschool and pre-kindergarten programs, each child will receive individualized attention and support from dedicated teachers committed to their growth and well-being.

CHALLENGE: CAN YOU ENGINEER A SAFE SPACE HELMET TO PROTECT YOUR ASTRONAUT?
• Make an observation on your egg. Where is it the most fragile? Where should you focus on protecting your astronaut? Place your egg in a sandwich bag and place it to the side.
• The water bottle will be the base for the helmet and can be used however you would like. The egg in the bag has to be placed within the water bottle somehow.
• Present additional materials that can be used as cushioning for your helmet. Feel free to set rules on how materials distribution will work (e.g., you can only pick three additional materials or tape counts as one material).
• Design a plan. Draw and label the needed materials. Once the design plan has been approved, you can start engineering the helmet! (Keep the egg in the bag for easy clean up).
• When complete, determine your testing site with a consistent drop height. You can stand on a chair with your arm straight out.
• Drop the helmet and see what happens! Was your astronaut protected?
Grab your space helmets and head over to Arizona Science Center. Seated under the 60-foot NanoSeam dome in Dorrance Planetarium, you’ll explore billions of stars, and so much more.

Neighbors
Hello Neighbor!
HI, MY NAME IS… Amity Dalton.
I’VE LIVED IN ARIZONA ALMOST MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE… I love the heat! The hotter the better! Also, my favorite food is Mexican food. I could easily eat it every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Arizona has some of the best Mexican food around!
A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE INCLUDES… chasing around my 3-year-old boy, Atlas, snuggling my French Bull Dog, Piper, and creating adventures and memories with my husband, Sam. When I am not spending time with my amazing family, I am working for one of the best organizations in Arizona, MEB Management Services. As vice president of new development, I oversee MEB’s build-to-rent properties and help Arizonans find a home that fits their needs.
MY FAMILY IS… everything to me! We lift each other up, support each other and celebrate successes together.
ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IS… music! It is like therapy to me; it can bring me back to a moment in time and gives me life!
MY FAVORITE MOVIE I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING AND WHY IS… “Grease” because my twin sister, our friends, and I would sing and dance to it non-stop growing up. I also love “Bridesmaids” because it makes me belly laugh every single time I watch it.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE… a recording artist, as I have always sung and danced. I also always knew I wanted to help people and have an impact in people’s lives.
THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS… “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” by Whitney Houston.
THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS… my mom! She is so selfless, the hardest worker I know, has the gift of encouraging and lifting everyone up, and
wants to help everyone she can. She is truly the best and I am so blessed to call her my mom.
THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… the million Instagram reels my husband sent me.
THE PERFECT DAY IS… either on a beach, or on some adventure, whether it be traveling, on our RZR, or doing something spontaneous with family and friends!
MY FAVORITE LOCAL NONPROFIT IS… BloomKidz. Their mission is to help improve the quality-of-life and wellness trajectory for children with different abilities through a multi-disciplinary, team-based approach, direct therapy services and fun, functional fitness. This nonprofit is close to my heart because my 3 year old was recently diagnosed with autism and they have a compassionate care and holistic approach to support children with diverse intellectual and developmental abilities.
MY LIFE IS… all about God and people. Nurturing every relationship in my life is important, but also being kind to others is something I value. You never know what someone is going through, so a simple smile or act of kindness can go a long way.
THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS… our baby boy! We prayed for him for so long and seven years later he miraculously came to us. He is the sweetest and most loving little boy, and we are so grateful.
MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE… exploring Italy and learning about the history and culture, eating the delicious food, drinking wine, and lounging at the Amalfi Coast.
THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE EVER RECEIVED IS… it’s not about you! When I took a leadership role at MEB, I learned that it is about those you are leading and being a servant leader. You get what you give! Focus on your team and employees and keeping them happy and in turn they will make the customers and clients happy!

Evolving Medicine: Arizona Natural Concepts Pioneers Effective Use of Cannabis for Health and Wellness
Photos courtesy of Arizona Natural Concepts
Long gone are the days of reefer madness, but with time comes progress and the medicinal benefits of cannabis are becoming more undeniable. Moreover, medical research is beginning to back up years of anecdotal evidence.
Arizona Natural Concepts (ANC), located at 1039 E. Carefree Highway, has a heavy focus on the medical patients within the community. Patients can expect a knowledgeable staff willing to help them find products to suit their specific needs.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/28335b78bec20388e7ea1f1495ebf235.jpeg)
A caring and compassionate approach is of the upmost priority for the staff at ANC. They take steps to ensure their team is always up to date on the latest research and products on the market.
One of the most exciting things they share with patients is the presence of the endocannabinoid system in all mammals. The ECS is responsible for interacting with the cannabinoids found in the plant to create homeostasis within the body.
ECS has been found to be a potent regulator of brain activity, hormonal function, and immune response. Endocannabinoids are at play as we deal
with stress, hunger, sleep, illness, and emotions. This could be the answer to as to why cannabis is seen as a cure all by so many of its proponents. The body’s ability to use and breakdown these compounds naturally is shedding much needed light on how to use cannabis effectively for a variety of issues.
A deficiency in the ECS is thought by some researchers to be a key component in the diseases seen on a massive level, many of which do not respond to pharmaceutical treatments. Understanding how the ECS works is central to assisting patients as they navigate these new waters.
ANC is home to three brands all centered around creating products that are not only medicinally beneficial, but palatable to the senses. Each brand sources top tier material for the products they create, always keeping the medicinal value in mind.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/8558b215c978e9d87279f8e77d12fead.jpeg)
A common ailment amongst so many patients is their inability to get a restful night’s sleep. ANC’s home brands offer an array of products focused on helping patients finally get some well-deserved rest.
Yummy Gummy is a gelatin based gummy low in sugar with flavor profiles that change seasonally. They come in doses for those who are new to cannabis, and those who may need something a bit stronger. Yummy Gummy is fully infused, allowing patients to cut them into desired doses for those who are looking to microdose.
Yummy Gummy produces limited edition runs based on the needs of the patient. For instance, the team is producing a nighttime gummy infused with CBN and melatonin. CBN is the cannabinoid that aids mainly in sleep but is also helpful in regulating the immune system.
These gummies are fairly priced, and ANC consistently runs deals. Keep an eye out for Yummy Gummy brand reps who may be on site offering up some swag with each purchase.

ANC is also home to Tipsy Turtle, a snack focused edible brand which is friendly to those with specific dietary needs. Tipsy Turtle edibles are also available in a variety of doses, allowing patients to microdose if they choose. They also offer high dosed edibles for those who have a higher tolerance and need a bit more of a heavy hitter.
Tipsy Turtle edibles offer patients the unique ability to incorporate their medicine into their daily meals whether they be sweet or savory.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/50620c4b754e54dae87ae35a221c1db4.jpeg)
These edibles are delicious enough to nosh on every day, yet affordable enough
to do it with no guilt. Keep an eye out on ANC who will consistently run deals on these amazing snacks. Be sure to look for the Tipsy Turtle brand reps who are sometimes on site with freshly baked non-med confections. They will also have swag for those who make a Tipsy Turtle purchase.
ANC also houses Achieve, their concentrate brand with a wide selection of wax for every consumer. Achieve produces Rick Simpson Oil, a potent concentrate many refer to as “the medicine” of the cannabis world. RSO can be used topically or orally.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/623bdd2de10f95db849b52536d8fd798.jpeg)
Research has shown when there are multiple cannabinoids working together, it produces what is referred to as the Entourage Effect. Since RSO is produced using the whole plant, all the cannabinoids the plant has to offer are present.
RSO is given to patients who are dealing with major chronic conditions. It is the “go to” for many who are diagnosed with cancer. The staff at ANC has the resources to help patients safely use RSO, it is not suggested to use RSO without some guidance due to its very powerful psychoactive effects.
RSO is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, which when used topically can treat burns, abrasions, and skin cancer.
ANC runs a deal on RSO every Saturday, and the team at ANC can educate patients on how to make their RSO into a tincture, which can make it easier to consume orally. Achieve reps are consistently onsite with swag for those who make an Achieve purchase.
ANC, along with their three house brands, offer a healthy alternative to pharmaceuticals from a team of dedicated professionals who are always eager and willing to help.

Community Unique Dementia Program Enriches Young and Old

At first glance, it looks like “Grandparents’ Day” at preschool — a roomful of giggling seniors playing peekaboo with a dozen adorable toddlers.
Except these “grandmas and grandpas” aren’t related to the kiddos. No matter. They love each other just the same.
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Intergenerational Enrichment Program, where people living with dementia enjoy activities, social engagement, and the excitement of interacting with young kids.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/9e69584730d5a42b028ee4ab7747b940.jpeg)
Located at Hospice of the Valley’s new Dementia Care and Education Campus, the Adult Day Club and adjoining Child Center help both generations flourish. The grownups are energized by the youngsters’ carefree exuberance. The children are treated to cuddles every time they climb into a soft lap for a movie, story, or song.
“Just to hear the joyful sounds of kids playing and laughing is uplifting,” says Michelle Bales, Adult Day and Intergenerational Program manager. “Sometimes we play games, sometimes we share a snack, we dance, we laugh and most of all, we appreciate what makes each of us unique. Every day we encourage connection and watch the magic happen as organic moments of joy are created.”
Numerous studies show that intergenerational programs enhance quality of life. Adults experience a more positive outlook, decreased social isolation, and improved cognitive function and overall quality of life. Children gain self-esteem, selfconfidence, and learn to make new friends. Both age groups feel valued, safe, and cared for.
“This is the best thing that could have ever happened to me,” says Judy Wind, a member of the Adult Day Club. “I love kids and these kids just keep you alive. When I
found this place, I knew I was home. I just love coming here!”
A wide array of activities ensures everyone has a great time — from art to dance, exercise, gardening, story time, movies, singing, surprising guests like a musical cowboy on a horse, petting zoo animals, and visits from therapy pets, including a miniature cow! The goal is to stimulate the senses and create joy.
An added benefit is the friendship that develops as the children and adults bond with one another. When 3-year-old Jack was planning his birthday party, the first person on his invite list was his sweet 74-year-old pal, Susan, from the Adult Day Club.
Family members like Pat McKenna can take a break from caregiving knowing their loved ones with dementia are thriving in a culture of fun. “My husband has always loved children, and this is an opportunity to spend time with them, sometimes on a one-on-one basis. The kids get a lot out of it as well. It’s just a win-win.”
The Intergeneration Enrichment Program at The Campus is also teaching youngsters that dementia is nothing to be feared. It’s empowering families who didn’t realize there was a place to turn for support. And it’s inspiring the community to learn more about this challenging disease and how to enhance quality of life as dementia progresses.
“Life doesn’t stop because someone has dementia. It changes,” says Dr. Gillian Hamilton, Hospice of the Valley medical director. “With understanding and compassion, we believe it’s possible to still find meaning, purpose, connection, and joy in living.”
The Dementia Care and Education Campus is at 3811 N. 44th St., Phoenix. In addition to the Intergenerational Enrichment Program, there are free support groups, educational classes for the community and dementia resources. For more information, visit dementiacampus.org.

Tickets for the Gentry Foundation for Autism’s annual fundraiser are now on sale. This year’s event will transport attendees to a world of mystery and intrigue in the form of a captivating Masquerade Ball slated for September 23.
Held at Warehouse215, 215 E. Grant St., in Phoenix, at 5:30 p.m., the elegant evening is set to feature gourmet catering from Creations in Cuisine, lively entertainment, and an atmosphere of whimsical elegance. It’s an opportunity for community members to don a mask, raise a glass, and support a brighter future for Arizona’s children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/a1216c87ae72b7fdbc29e0238e9d9079.jpeg)
The funds raised from the gala will enable the Gentry Foundation to continue offering no-cost ASD evaluations to low-income families. The initiative has awarded over 500 scholarships so far, with hopes of extending further assistance to Arizona’s children and families in need.
Dr. Joseph Gentry, Ph.D., and his wife Sarah, co-owners of Gentry Pediatric Behavioral Services, recognized the need for early intervention in the lives of children with autism. They founded the Gentry Foundation to decrease the age at which children in Arizona receive an initial evaluation for possible autism symptoms.
“The funds raised throughout the year and at our annual fundraising event, like this year’s Masquerade Ball, enable us to offer scholarships for free evaluations to families who cannot afford one,” says Dr. Gentry. “This year we are piloting our Family Liaison program, offering families free access to one of our liaisons who can guide parents through the challenging process of obtaining services and supports for their child postdiagnosis.”
Dr. Gentry, with 15 years of experience working with children with disabilities, such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other behavioral challenges, has presented his research on topics related to applied behavior
analysis, social skills, and autism spectrum disorders on a national level.

Choosing a Successor Trustee

Do you have the right people or company named as your successor trustee?
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/e4df7f23eaa4a3bf43380686f09b63d4.jpeg)
One of the most important decisions you can make is who will be taking care of your estate – first for you if you become incapacitated and second for your beneficiaries when you are gone.
HERE ARE A FEW QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE:
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/366223a4e442436ffc234e3adf0c70d9.jpeg)
1. Availability to serve. Your sister may be financially savvy, but if she is now having health issues, will she really be able to assist you? Make sure who you pick can do the work of serving as your trustee.
2. Integrity and loyalty. Pick someone who you trust implicitly, someone who you believe would never consider misusing the trust assets.
3. Financial competence and willingness to seek assistance. You might think you need someone with business or investment savvy to be your trustee, but more important is having someone who is willing to seek out and listen to good counsel and advice.
4. Sensitivity to your beneficiaries’ circumstances. If your beneficiaries are minors or otherwise in need of an ongoing trustee to manage their inheritance, it is very important that the trustee understand what you want for them and are sympathetic to the beneficiaries’ needs.
5. Knowledge of your assets and/ or business interests. Does your trustee know what you own, or can they quickly find out with directions you leave? Do they understand your business or asset distribution? When selecting your trustee, consider what assets you own, and how they will be able to step in to manage those assets.
6. Similar values and attitudes about money. It’s important for a trustee to understand what you want for your beneficiaries in the way of distributions, access to the assets, and opportunities to manage the assets themselves. Similar values ensure your beneficiaries are treated the way you want.
7. Geographic location. With advances in technology and communication, the location of your trustee and beneficiaries may not be so important. However, consider that if you are incapacitated, you may want a trustee who is nearby. You can appoint one trustee for incapacity and a different person for after you pass.
8. Cost and amount of estate assets. Lastly, you need to consider cost. Banks and trust companies generally charge based on a percentage of the assets under management. Many don’t offer trustee services for estates under $1,000,000 (or more). Private fiduciaries, who are licensed by the state, charge on an hourly basis. While they are often willing to manage smaller estates, many have limitations. A family member or friend may be willing to manage your estate whatever its size. Remember, though, that you should provide compensation for the work the trustee performs, even if they are related to you. Our office would be happy to assist you in creating your trust plan and selecting the right trustee. Call for a free initial consultation at 602-375-6752.

Phoenix native Robert Mulvin began his journey in the shade business at the tender age of 16. He first earned his stripes assembling window sunscreens in his friend’s father’s garage, a part-time gig that grew into a lifelong passion and business. Fast-forward 17 years, and today he presides over All Pro Shade Concepts, the most sought-after provider of shade solutions in the Valley.
The company has blossomed under Mulvin’s leadership, employing a team of 24 dedicated to installing, selling, and managing the inventory of the most diverse range of shade products available — from window sunscreens to retractable awnings and patio drop shades.

Mulvin’s business ethos is grounded in customer satisfaction. Offering free quotes with no sales pressure, he maintains, “We are there to inspect your home or business, not to pressure you into a sale. We pride ourselves on our transparency and offering the best price from the start.”
Why choose All Pro Shade Concepts over a big-box store solution? Mulvin explains that while a cheap shade from a large retailer might save you money in the short term, the product’s quality and longevity don’t match up to their custom-made alternatives.
Mulvin’s company prides itself on providing durable, resilient fabric shades built to withstand the punishing Arizona sun. They custom make every product, professionally measuring and installing them to ensure a perfect fit and premium feel.

“All Pro Shade Concepts only deals with the top manufacturers in the country,” Mulvin states, “This, coupled with our purchasing power, enables us to offer the lowest prices and quickest delivery and installation times.”

Offering manual and motorized shades and awnings, All Pro Shade Concepts caters to a variety of customer needs. They began offering retractable shades in 2008, adding motorized options in 2012. These shades not only shield against the Arizona sun but also extend outdoor entertainment space and retain heat during winter.
Motorized awnings come with an additional bonus — built-in dimmable LED lights as a standard feature. This addition allows users to control the lighting level conveniently via remote control. Furthermore, each awning is equipped with wind sensors and a motor override for power outage scenarios.
Apart from shades and awnings, All Pro Shade Concepts has a solid reputation for delivering superior window sunscreens. Mulvin boasts of having made and installed more than 300,000 window sunscreens to date. Customers can customize their screens by choosing the frame, sun blockage percentage, and fabric color to suit their specific needs.

The company’s Textilene shades are popular, blocking a majority of the sun’s rays and resulting in a cooling cost savings. Moreover, customers can take advantage of the SRP Screen Rebate offered by SRP for professionally installed shade screens, another smart way to stay cool during Phoenix’s scorching summers.

Real Estate
Dispelling the Myths: Unraveling Real Estate Headlines with a Closer Look at the Data
By Holly Henbest, RealtorOver the last few months, we’ve seen many headlines regarding real estate that frankly just aren’t true. So, let’s dig into a little bit of reality versus headlines.
To start, there have been articles about the increase in foreclosure sales, because bank-owned sales (sales by banks after a home is foreclosed) are up 333% from June 2022 to June 2023. Wow! That’s a huge percentage increase, but the increase in real numbers was three homes in 2022 versus 13 homes in 2023. A huge percentage increase but only 13 total homes. Considering the number of homes in Maricopa County, 13 is not a number to fret about.
Next, comparing June 2022 to June 2023, overall MLS sales are down 19%, but a big chunk of that drop is related to reduced investor buying. Normal re-sale
buying was only down 13%, but new construction buying was up 7.4%. So, the overall drop in buying activity is in the investor categories.
To further explain, iBuyer’s (see below) have all shown a decrease in homes being bought and sold:
• OfferPad (down 76%)
• OpenDoor (down 56%)
• Redfin (down 100%, but they actually only had four homes in 2022)
Additionally, institutional investors are down 88%, wholesale transactions are down 42%, and for sale by owner sales are down 53%.
This is a lot of news about how sales are down, but the question is, why? There are a number of reasons, but one of the main reasons is that 60% of mortgaged properties in the United States have a mortgage with an interest rate below 4%, and the owners have equity in their home,
creating a situation where homeowners are inclined to stay in their home and wait to see if interest rates come down to ensure better affordability of their mortgage payment on a future purchase.
If sellers are staying put, there are fewer homes to buy/sell, resulting in the iBuyers and institutional buyers having less to grab. Plus, and this is the big plus, sellers want to make the most money possible, and selling to an iBuyer, an institutional buyer or for sale by owner typically nets a lower sales price. When one sells to an iBuyer, one is paying for the convenience of the sale by selling the home for less. Sellers, of course, want to capture as much profit as possible, so they are calling Realtors instead of iBuyers to list their home for sale to ensure their home is marketed and sold for the most potential profit.
We’ve also seen headlines about big banks like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and others reporting big loan losses. When we hear loan losses, we typically think that means home loans, but it doesn’t. Much of these losses are credit card loans and commercial real estate loan losses, but not home loan losses. This makes sense in as much as we have seen commercial real estate impacted by COVID and more people working from home and more online shopping. Hence, a downturn in office space needs and retail shops. However, there is some news that commercial real estate is having a comeback and will become more stable soon.
Pricing is always a headline hot topic and we’ve seen a lot about home prices
coming down. Again, let’s look at the data in Maricopa County for June 2023:
• The re-sale median sales price was down 3.3% from June 2022 but up 1.6% from May 2023
• The re-sale median sales price has risen five months in a row and is now up 7.1% from the low point of January 2023
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/2db27562c8886abd51fb9b132bf2d12e.jpeg)
• The new home median sales price is up 3.7% from a year ago, and up 2.4% from last month
As always, when it comes to the value of your home and the real estate market, the most important market to know is your own specific neighborhood. Looking at nationwide data or even county data may be insufficient. If you want to know specifics about your neighborhood, please let us know and we’re happy to answer any questions.

Entertainment Movie Reviews and Upcoming Release Dates
By Tony BealIN THEATERS
“No Hard Feelings”
A woman is hired to date a rich couple’s son in exchange for a car.
Simplicity is the perfect word to describe ‘No Hard Feelings.’ This fun, raunchy romp is surprisingly considerate of its leads and the subject matter. Jennifer Lawrence is absolutely incredible here, demonstrating considerable skill in physical comedy and timing, while Andrew Barth Feldman offers a softspoken performance that competes effectively with his co-star. The film adeptly illustrates the dangers of succumbing to unwanted pressure without sounding preachy. Most significantly, it sustains audience laughter throughout without overstaying its welcome, making it a pleasant surprise in an otherwise underwhelming summer.

“Run Rabbit Run”
A mother’s life begins to fall apart after her daughter begins acting strangely.
“Run Rabbit Run” serves as one of the poorest examples of “elevated” horror that purports to be “about trauma” but ultimately has nothing of substance to say. For 95 minutes, the film merely goes around in circles with its repetitive pattern. The sequence of the daughter acting weirdly, Sarah Snook experiencing a mental breakdown, and the inclusion of spooky Australian imagery, all rinse and repeat monotonously. Unfortunately, none of it is spooky or even unnerving; it is simply boring and irritating. The film doesn’t bring anything new to the table in terms of themes or filmmaking, except for imagery that is hard to discern due to excessive darkness. Overall, it’s a complete waste of time.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230731171650-e0d272804a8160b7b6d4a3756999a0cb/v1/e42460ef36ba9bf900bd4481d6806adb.jpeg)
Rock Hudson was undeniably one of the greatest actors to have ever lived. However, this documentary reveals that behind his brilliance lay a great deal of pain. Instead of relying solely on traditional talking head interviews (though a few are included from those who knew him), the filmmakers effectively use footage from his films and voiceovers, both new and old, to narrate his journey from his early roles to his final days. The correlations drawn between fiction and reality are genuinely impressive. While this documentary may not reveal much that is new to those already familiar with Hudson’s life, it provides an essential insight into the complexity of a man’s life that was tragically not lived to its fullest potential.
this installment is a tad more uneven than the previous two. It mirrors “Mad Max: Fury Road” in how the narrative is propelled by relentless action, with each act essentially forming one major set piece. Despite its length, the film manages not to exhaust viewers but instead keeps them engaged. Moreover, there’s an emotional core delivered by our actors, both veteran and newcomer, through their compelling character portrayals. This film has everything and more, serving as a reminder of why we are drawn to the cinema.

Getaway
REWIND TIME AT FAIRMONT
SCOTTSDALE PRINCESS
For those craving an extra dash of nostalgia this summer, a trip to the heart of the ‘80s and ‘90s is just a booking away or visit away. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is bringing back your favorite decades through Labor Day with its latest spectacle, Let’s Roll, Summer at the Princess. The memories of yesteryears are set to spring to life in a vibrant jamboree that promises a nostalgic journey back in time.
From the moment you step onto the property, prepare to be whisked back to a colorful era where roller skates were a sensation, neon reigned supreme, and Saturday nights were adorned with fireworks and dive-in movies. Parents can relive their youth with their children, experiencing the thrill of roller skating on a real outdoor rink, taking aim in an adrenaline-pumping game of Ghost Blasterz laser tag, or trying their luck at neon mini-golf. The Arcade, brimming with retro video games, stands ready to whisk you straight back to your childhood. All these activities and more await, free for hotel guests and available from Wednesday through Sunday.
For budding young scientists, the Trailblazer’s Kid’s Club transforms into the Professor Science Learning Lab
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily. Here, children aged 5 to 12 can help Professor Science carry out wild experiments, uncover the mysteries of the universe, and earn their very own Science Achievement Award.
Meanwhile, the adults can enjoy a luxurious slice of the past at the 44,000-square-foot Well & Being Spa. Offering a ‘90s-inspired water aerobics class at the Sonoran Landing Pool every Friday and Saturday in August, and home to the largest Sisley Spa in the United States, guests can start their indulgence with champagne and French pastries before losing themselves in the 90-minute Black Rose Facial.
Bookings are encouraged as soon as possible to secure a spot in this throwback paradise. The resort is offering a special Game, Glo, and Roll package, providing admission to all the resort’s activities and a $100 daily resort credit. This year’s charity partner is Thunderbirds Charities, ensuring that your nostalgia trip also contributes to a noble cause, benefitting children and families in need in the Valley.
Let’s Roll, Summer at the Princess extends beyond the hotel’s overnight guests. For just $35 per person, general admission tickets grant access to a range of attractions

from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Let the good times roll at Scottsdale Skate, an open-air roller rink disco oasis complete with an oversized roller skate for the perfect photo opportunity. Take on the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer in the black light Ghost Blasterz Laser Tag or enjoy a round of glow-in-the-dark mini-golf at Neon 9 Mini Golf. Finish your evening at The Arcade, where you can rekindle your love for classic arcade games like Frogger, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, pinball, and Skee-Ball.

As you prepare to step back in time, do remember that the nightly general admission to Let’s Roll, Summer at the Princess doesn’t include access to the resort’s luxurious pools. The resort’s pools remain an exclusive perk for overnight guests, providing them a chance to cool off and relax in style after a day full of ‘80s and ‘90s fun. Please also note that parking is available but must be purchased separately. Be sure to plan your visit accordingly to make the most out of this time-traveling experience.
So, pack your bags, dust off your neon attire, and prepare to travel back in time this summer at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. As you roll back the years, you’re also rolling forward a good cause.

Client Testimonial - Holly and her Team far surpassed our expectations in the listing/ sale of our home. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable and on top of it! The photos were beautiful and Holly’s use of social media generated immediate interest and brought in buyers quickly. She presented us with 3 full price (and over list price) o ers in just 3 days! In addition, the terms of sale could not have been better! There is really no need to consider another realtor if you are buying or selling real estate, especially in the Desert Ridge area. Holly and The Henbest Team are absolutely outstanding.
