Nov. 3 special election focuses on bonds law talk

Voters will decide whether to approve all or part of nearly $96 million in bonds for capital projects throughout Scottsdale in a special election on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The projects include rebuilding parks, repaving streets, improving intersections, renovating buildings and upping the energy efficiency of facilities.

If all of the bonds are approved, the estimated yearly property tax increase for the owner of a home of $371,000— the city’s average value—would be $42.63.

Scottsdale hasn’t had a bond approved in 15 years for such improvements.

There is a need to try again.

“We have difficulty keeping up (the facilities),” said Dan Worth, public works director. “The sales tax (revenue) classifieds

goes to day-to-day services.”

Gridiron

The ballot includes: Question 1: Parks and Community Facilities, $31.9 million—Vista Del Camino Park/Indian Bend Wash Park renovations and lake rehabilitation; pool chemical safety improvements; energy-efficient lighting upgrades at ballfields; aging park building replacement and water conservation irrigation upgrades.

Question 2: Transportation, $16.5 million—Hayden and Chaparral Road intersection improvements; Happy Valley Road improvements from Pima to Alma School Road; Highland Avenue improvements from Scottsdale Road to Goldwater Road; downtown pedestrian improvements and McDowell Road

bicycle lane improvements.

Question 3: Citywide Technology, $6.8 million—public building energy efficiency upgrades; public building wireless improvements and disaster recovery infrastructure.

Question 4: Street Pavement Replacement, $12.5 million— Citywide deteriorated pavement replacement.

Question 5: Public Safety-Fire, $16.3 million—Funds to design, acquire, construct, reconstruct, improve, furnish and equip three fire stations and relocate another fire station.

Question 6: Public Safety-Police, $11.8 million—Police Civic Center Jail and Station renovation, and police vehicle training track resurfacing.

Scottsdale went through a lengthy process to decide on the projects, all of which are high priority, Worth said.

“Indian Bend Wash is one of the crown jewels,” Worth said. “We have visitors who come to it and look forward to it, and it’s 40-plus years old.”

The City of Scottsdale’s website includes information about the ballot questions, including the language, a question-and-answer

informational piece about the bonds and a list of proposed projects with descriptions. For information, visit www.scottsdaleaz.gov/elections. For the informational pamphlet, visit bit. ly/1KqRt1m.

“We’re trying to get this information out to the public through the City’s website, public meetings and meetings with groups like the Realtors association and the Chamber of Commerce to explain what the projects are,” Worth said.

City Clerk Carolyn Jagger said turnout varies from election to election, but that a “good portion” of the turnout is comprised of voters who mail their ballots. Scottsdale has 149,484 registered voters with 100,316 on the permanent early voting list.

“It doesn’t cost anything, and you can vote in the privacy of your own home,” Jagger said.

The deadline to register to vote is Monday, Oct. 5. Early ballots will be mailed on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Friday, Oct. 23, is the last day to request an early ballot by mail, and Friday, Oct. 30, is the last day to cast an early ballot at an early voting site.

By Kenneth LaFave It’s tough to choose between dinner and a movie, music and dancing or just chillin’ under the stars for the perfect date.

Why not do it all—along with 1,000 other people—at the second Date Night, an event catered to young adults Saturday, Oct. 3, at Scottsdale Stadium.

“It’s a little unique, and we hope it continues to grow for this demographic,” said Daniel Miller, an assistant recreational coordinator for the

City of Scottsdale.

The demographic Miller refers to is men and women, ages 20 to 35.

“We offer a lot of events for children, teens, families and seniors, but nothing for that group,” he said. “So we started throwing around some ideas a few years ago on how to capture this demographic, and Date Night came out of that.”

The City’s inaugural Date Night was in May, a trial event that was surprisingly successful.

Railfair returns to McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park

By Meghan McCoy Train enthusiasts and casual observers can take in model train displays and exhibits for two days in October at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.

The annual Railfair returns 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11, at the Park, 7301 E. Indian Bend Rd., Scottsdale.

This year, the City is incorporating the park’s 40th anniversary, according to Henry Garcia, the facility’s assistant coordinator. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park opened in 1975.

The event began in the late 1970s, thanks to Guy Stillman’s love affair with trains and his involvement in clubs with fellow enthusiasts.

“He incorporated Railfair into the park,” he said. “The event is set up to showcase model railroading—N-scale through O- and G-scale trains—not just to showcase, but to share the hobby with everyone.”

The model railroad building will display a 10,000-square-foot exhibit. The event will also feature a LEGO club building various miniature train layouts.

The layouts are surrounded by LEGO towns, cars and people.

“They find some prominent wellknown areas and they build LEGO based on those areas and incorporate trains,” Garcia said.

The event typically attracts 8,000 to 9,000 people over the two days. Garcia said he believes the event is popular because people are fascinated with the realistic miniature trains.

Coming to fruition Forty years ago the park became a reality after Stillman asked his parents to donate 100 acres to the City of Scottsdale. Thirty of those acres became what is now known as the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.

“When they renovated the park, they added a platform and station and they added Stillman’s name in there,” Garcia said.

The park includes a train ride and carousel for $2 per ride with children younger than 3 riding for free with a paid adult, and a museum that boasts train history.

The park includes a presidential train, Roald Amundsen Pullman Car, which four of the country’s leaders hopped aboard before Air Force One transported them.

The park also has a Mercy Car, which was a gift from France to each state that assisted them during the World War. “Arizona has that on display here at our facility,” Garcia said.

In addition to walking through the Roald Amundsen Pullman Car, visitors have the opportunity to walk through the Santa Fe package car.

The museum shares a good deal of information about train history, railroading, how steam engines assisted with The annual Railfair will showcase model railroading copper mines, package cars for individuals of all ages to enjoy. and communication with telegraphs.

For more information, visit www.

“There is some really cool stuff in- therailroadpark.com, or call (480) side the museum,” Garcia said.

If you live in the Valley, baseball season is just starting to ramp up as many families are eager to get up close and personal with future major league stars at a price that can’t be beat.

Throughout October and November, the Valley will serve as home to six Arizona Fall League (AFL) teams comprised by many of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) elite young prospects—some of whom hail from here in the Valley.

“The Arizona Fall League is regarded throughout professional baseball as the finishing school for top prospects,” explained league director Steve Cobb.

“It features top prospects from every single organization in Major League Baseball.”

The AFL’s role in baseball’s development process goes deeper than players, too. The league has helped future major league managers, coaches, umpires and front office administrators and executives reach the big leagues.

For instance, 36 former AFL managers and players have become major league managers and 13 of those are managing today on the MLB field.

Fans—especially families—certainly are not forgotten, either.

“We also are proud to offer an affordable alternative for mom, dad and the kids to enjoy professional baseball played at the highest level by an assortment of minor-league all stars and firstround draft choices who are headed to the major leagues,” said Cobb.

Approximately 60 percent of players selected for the Fall League reach the major leagues.

Since its inception, the AFL is responsible for helping develop: 231 MLB All-Stars, 36 MLB managers, 53 MLB umpires, 25 MLB Rookies of the Year, 13 MLB MVPs, eight MLB All-Star Game MVPs, five Cy Young Award winners and three World Series MVPs. Some of the MLB standouts who played in the AFL in recent years include: Starlin Castro (Cubs SS), Aroldis Chapman (Reds closer), Josh Donaldson (Athletics 3B), Sean Doolittle (Athletics LHP), Freddie Freeman (Braves 1B), Bryce Harper (Nationals LF), Drew Hutchison (Blue Jays RHP),

Craig Kimbrel (Braves closer), Tommy LaStella (Braves 2B), Andrew McCutchen (Pirates CF), Salvador Perez (Royals C), Albert Pujols (Angels 1B/ DH), Giancarlo Stanton (Marlins RF), Marcus Stroman (Blue Jays RHP), Troy Tulowitzki (Rockies SS) and Mike Trout (Angels CF).

The AFL is also among the most affordable entertainment values in Arizona this fall. A family pass, priced at only $120, admits up to six people for every game.

“And it’s open seating. You can sit anywhere to like to get up close and personal,” added Cobb.

Who plays where Northeast Valley: The Salt River Rafters, who will share their stadium with the Saguaros, will play at Salt River Fields and will be stocked with prospects from the hometown Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays. The Scottsdale Scorpions play at Scottsdale Stadium and will include prospects from the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers.

West Valley: The Glendale Desert Dogs play at Camelback Ranch and will feature prospects from the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros. The Peoria Javalinas will play at Peoria Sports Complex with prospects from the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles. And, the Surprise Saguaros, who will play at Salt River Fields while the Surprise Stadium is remodeled, will include prospects from the Milwaukee Brewers, New York Yankees, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals.

Southeast Valley: The Mesa Solar Sox play at Cubs Park in Mesa and will include players from the Chicago Cubs (of course), Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays. ... continues on page 14

By Mariah McKenzie For more than 20 years, the Desert Discovery Center has been a vision for Scottsdale. Throughout those two decades, the project has grown and become more complex, raising the eyebrows of councilmembers and residents.

The center, which would serve as a place to interpret the nearby McDowell Sonoran Preserve, was the topic of an hour-long discussion at the Sept. 8 Scottsdale City Council meeting.

According to Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield, there are two major questions that need to be answered about the project.

“The first question is, ‘How will it be funded?’” said Littlefield. “Secondly, ‘Where will the center be located?’”

Vice Mayor Linda Milhaven agreed.

“We want a more solid price tag,” said Milhaven of the Desert Discovery Center committee’s task.

Saturday, Nov. 21, Scottsdale Stadium “Every AFL game is a showcase of future major leaguers, many of whom will reach star status like Mike Trout and Giancarlo Stanton,” Cobb said. “It is destination baseball for families at an affordable price in perfect weather played in modern, comfortable stadiums.”

Visit www.mlbfallball.com for information and tickets or call (480) 9901005.

Just like the controversial WestWorld, which spent many years on the drawing board, the Desert Discovery Center has great potential.

Councilman David Smith fears that the Desert Discovery Center will face the same problems that occurred in the development of WestWorld.

The facility wasn’t presented to the public until after it was already approved, which didn’t allow citizens to offer opinions about it, Littlefield explained.

As of yet, Scottsdale taxpayers have not been asked about the Desert Discovery Center.

“I am not going to support this project until the public has been asked,” Smith said.

The goal is to gain public support for the development of this project.

According to Smith, the project has the potential to be something unique to Scottsdale, but the main focus is to better the community.

Museum captures the true ‘spirit’ of the West

By Tracy House A lot has changed in Old Town Scottsdale over the 20 years since I lived in “The West’s Most Western Town.” Showing my kids the area and spending time with them at Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West was like turning back the clock and immersing myself in the Wild West.

The huge, open and airy museum opened its doors in January with rotating exhibitions of Western art and cultural treasures on loan from some of the world’s foremost collectors and institutions.

My daughter, Megan, and son, Jacob, passed a few hours with me roaming through the halls of the building, admiring the numerous paintings,

Page 18

sculptures, artifacts and interactive exhibits throughout the museum.

To begin our tour of the 43,000-square-foot museum in Scottsdale’s historic arts district, we followed the wagon wheels suspended from the ceiling. There are eight exhibitions to view, but these change throughout the year to showcase the artistry from 19 Western states.

Walking through the galleries, we were treated to artwork depicting the Lewis and Clark expedition, bronze sculptures, Native American pottery and blankets and of course, the western collection of cowboy artifacts.

This was by far my kids’ favorite area.

They especially enjoyed a competitive game of “Chutes and Ladders” on the table-sized game

SCOTTSDALE MOMS

slices of life

By Jill Pertler

A letter to me 20 years ago We all change a little each day. Our experiences mold us. I’m not the same person I was 20 years ago—and I’m not just referring to my pants size.

It would be interesting (to say the least) if we could go back and talk to the person we were two decades ago.

What advice and insight would we give? And would the person we were then listen to us now—or not?

Dear me from 1995, You are embroiled in the business and “busyness” of parenting. Two young children depend on you and you’re about to top that off with a couple more in the coming years. I know. It sounds overwhelming, but you can do it. Sleep is overrated anyway and adult naps were invented for a reason.

You feel as though this stage and

their neediness will never end.

Believe me, it will. You might think you know it all at this point (that’s one thing that hasn’t changed about us during the last 20 years) but you don’t. Not really. We never do. But I do have a few snippets of knowledge that might benefit you now and in the years to come.

First, I have some good news: They will grow up. You will sleep through the night on a regular basis and as an added bonus you won’t have to set a substantial portion of your weekly spending toward diapers.

Next, I have some bad news: They will grow up. It will come more quickly than you ever could have imagined. And as you lie awake in bed at 2 a.m. you will recall their middleof-the-night cries with fondness and longing. There will even be times

when you wish for it to happen again, maybe just once, to be able to smell their baby breath and remind you that you are a young mama.

Even though you will delight in their growth, it will be a pain like you’ve never experienced before.

Their dependence—and following independence—defines your being. That is OK. The eventual independence will feel good, after a time. You may even get back to some of the old hobbies that you nearly forgot you used to enjoy—gardening, crafting, your husband.

Help your children prioritize. Be kind. The importance of family. Good friends. Good choices. Good grades.

Worthwhile activities. Sports. In that order.

Teach them to take responsibility for their actions. I fear responsibility is getting lost in our age of entitlement. “I was wrong,” and “I’m sorry,” are important phrases for them to practice and master.

Talk to them. Keep an open dialogue. Answer their questions

and they will answer yours. Often this will be at midnight when you are beyond tired or when you have a work deadline that’s overdue. Kids are lots of things, but convenient isn’t one of them. Take the time on their time. It’s all you’ve got.

Finally, don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re doing the best you can. You’ve always got tomorrow to be the perfect parent.

Thanks for listening.

Sincerely, Me from 2015.

Pallet Swing diy

events calendar

To encourage my kids to spend more time soaking up vitamin D, I decided to build them a new swing out of an old pallet. Pallets are everywhere, whether discarded behind stores like Lowe’s or Fry’s, one of your neighbors is remodeling or you are checking Swip Swap and Craigslist, they are very easy to find.

You will need the following: One pallet, 4-#6x3 1/2" wood screws, one box of #6x1" wood screws, hammer, electric drill, saw, sandpaper, rope, optional: outdoor fabric and decorative nails, paint or wood stain. law talk

Completely disassemble the pallet. If you have access to a reciprocating saw, you can quickly saw through all the nails holding the pallet together. If you don’t have a reciprocating saw, you can do it old school with the back of a hammer.

Our stylists are licensed cosmetologists using pharmaceutical grade adhesives.

Step 2 Using the support boards from the middle of the pallet, (usually a 2"x4") measure and cut two long pieces at 24" and two shorter pieces at 12". Form into a rectangle with the shorter boards on the outside of the longer boards, and screw together, two screws on each corner, using the 3 1/2" wood screws.

Ph: 480.336-2793 • www.amazinglashstudio.com

Step 3 Cut two 12" boards from the discarded slats and using one screw on each end, attach to the underside of the frame. Flip the swing over. Starting in the middle and working your way to the outside, attach boards to the top of the swing using two screws in each end. You can cut the boards down first or do what I did, attach the boards and then cut them down after everything has been secured.

Franchises Available © 2015 Amazing Lash Studio Franchise, LLC

Step 4 Sand the edges of the boards to remove splinters and sharp edges. At this point, you can either call the swing finished and move on to the next step or you can apply paint, wood stain or fabric to further smooth out the rough wood. Paint or wood stain can add a really neat look to the swing, especially if you are planning on putting it in your front yard. I opted to use some outdoor fabric I had picked up as a remnant and, folding the edges over so they won’t fray, used decorative nails to hold it in place.

Step 5 Unroll your rope and cut it in half, melting the ends to prevent fraying if needed. Tie each rope end to one corner of the long boards used in the frame of the swing. Bring the two ropes together approximately 18" above the frame and tie together, forming a triangle.

You may need to do this a couple of times to get the swing to hang evenly. I had my kids stand next to the swing to determine how high to hang it, then used the level app on my phone to make sure it was hanging horizontally.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski As a child, Bowling for Soup frontman Jaret Reddick was snarky and had a good sense of humor, something he still conveys through his band in songs like “1985.” But now he’s getting the ultimate payback in his 9-year-old son, Jack.

“My son is literally like God’s revenge on me,” he said with a laugh. “I wasn’t a bad kid, but I probably wasn’t the easiest kid in the world to deal with.

What comes around goes around.”

It helps, too, that Jack is a big Bowling for Soup fan, and often blares the radio when one of his dad’s songs is played on Sirius/XM’s Pop2K. “I’ll be pulling up to my son’s school, and he’ll turn it up and blare it,” Reddick said. “It sounds like I’m trying to make my kids listen to me. I like that he digs it.”

Although Bowling for Soup still tours—the band plays Livewire in Scottsdale on Monday, Sept. 21— Reddick has cut down on traveling to spend time with Jack and 12-year-old daughter, Emma.

“I’m, as rock stars go, pretty normal as a dad,” he said. “But he (Jack) gets me from time to time. He’s into pranks right now. It’s all the stuff that I’ve fallen for in the past. But he’s cute doing it, so I have to let him have it.”

When the divorced father isn’t hanging out with his kids, he’s working on projects for Bowling for Soup or

his side band, People on Vacation.

Right now, he’s putting the finishing touches on a live acoustic DVD filmed in London.

“It was a really, really cool theater and we did it during our acoustic performance,” Reddick said. “It’s a long show. I think it’s like 30-something songs. It’s 2 1/2 hours long.

“We’re going to release that as an album and DVD. There’s another, more involved full-band live performance that we did on the same tour. That DVD will come out next summer.”

While Jack and Emma are Bowling for Soup fans, they’re also pretty impressed that their dad does voiceover work. Reddick is the man behind the voice of Love Handel’s lead singer on “Phineas and Ferb.”

“I fell right into it, to be honest,” he said. “I had done some stuff on ‘Phineas and Ferb.’ I acted in high school and college. There are a lot of things that go with the whole voiceover thing, like hitting the beats. I like it—especially when I can do it from home. I work for a couple hours and then go do basketball with the kids. It’s a lot easier.”

What’s Cooking?

By Jan D’Atri

Devil’s Food Chunk Brownies October. It’s a devilish month with ghosts and goblins and such.

But I’m being quite the evil one here in my kitchen as I stir up a devilishly delicious treat that takes chocolate brownies to a new level.

Not only is there devil’s food cake mix added to the box of brownie mix (my longtime secret to moist brownies), but on top of the cooked brownie, I stack more

chunks of brownie.

Then, to make matters even more scrumptious, it is drizzled with a rich and creamy caramel sauce. Oh, I’m such a bad ghoul.

If you have a recipe that you think our readers would love to try, email me. While you’re there, check out more recipes and cooking tips at www.jandatri.com.

O

ER C TO B

10 –11

10AM

–5PM

Chocolate Brownies with Caramel Sauce Drizzle 1/2 cup quick cooking oats 1 box devil’s food cake mix 1 box brownie mix 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups water 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons strong coffee or 2 teaspoons instant espresso 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 2 tablespoons Hershey’s chocolate syrup, optional 1 bag (8 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, divided Caramel sauce to drizzle

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 9 x 13 shallow baking dish.

(Some use a jelly roll baking sheet or quarter sheet pan.)

Mix together oats, dry devil’s food cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, water, oil, coffee, cocoa, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips and 1 cup of the walnuts until well blended. (Reserve 1/2 cup walnuts for topping.)

Bake according to brownie mix package instructions. (Do not overbake brownies.) When cool, cut in squares. Place three to four squares in freezer.

When hardened, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over brownies. Place

frozen brownie cubes and walnuts over top.

For the Caramel Sauce:

1 cup brown sugar 1 cup boiling water 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt

In a skillet or small pot, combine sugar, boiling water, butter, vanilla and salt. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and cool until thickened.

Do not burn bottom of the pan.

I wanted to share some tips for making perfect brownies. If you have a Pure Convection element in your oven, use it. It will give you the best even cooking. Also, it’s hard to tell when brownies are done. When the aroma of chocolate coming from the oven hits me, I know the brownies are just about done. Halfway through the baking process, I open the oven and gently pat the top of the brownies.

That deflates the air bubble on top and I can tell if the brownies are done. Works perfectly every time and the brownies are never overbaked.
