Pinewell Capital acquires majority stake in Dickens Quality Demolition Dickens Quality Demolition and Scottsdale-based Pinewell Capital completed a majority stake acquisition of Dickens by Pinewell.

Dickens will continue to operate with its current management and staff, at its current location. Details of the transaction remain private.

“I made the decision to partner with Pinewell after very careful consideration and nearly a year of getting to know Pinewell and its owners,” says Richard Dickens, founder of Dickens who will continue in his previous role as president of the company.

“The additional support, resources and relevant knowledge that Pinewell brings

to the table will provide DQD a force multiplier to continue and further accelerate our leading position in the markets that we serve. My entire management staff and I are truly excited about this joint prospect with Pinewell and the vision that we share for the company.”

Chris Christensen, Dickens’ vice president of sales, added, “I am genuinely excited by what this partnership means for my company, our employees and our customers.

We are in discussions around exciting plans that we will roll out in the coming months and years to increase our ability to serve our customers via greater investments in our people and training, in equipment and

related tools and in potentially expanding the breadth of our services.”

Ziv Bendor, partner at Pinewell Capital says, “Yuta (Matsui) and I founded Pinewell as a people-centric investment company, realizing that healthy, sustainable growth and delivering top quality services starts and ends with people.

“Thus, one of the attributes that we look for in a company is whether we believe it has an emphasis on its people resulting in a strong, positive culture. After getting to know Richard, Chris and others for almost a year, we feel that DQD is truly an exceptional company with exceptional people.”

WestWorld manager Brian Dygert earns Hall of Fame recognition

Brian Dygert, the man behind WestWorld of Scottsdale, was inducted into the League of Agricultural and Equine Centers Hall of Fame in January in Austin.

Dygert has been a recognized leader in the equine management industry for nearly three decades and will celebrate his 15th anniversary with the city later this year.

Fittingly, Dygert’s journey to becoming an industry Hall of Famer started on a farm in Western New York. As the son of an equine veterinarian and the grandson of a standardbred horse trainer, he was born into the lifestyle of caring for and learning from horses.

Under his leadership as general manager, WestWorld has grown into a world-class, full-service events facility, which annually welcomes nearly 1 million visitors, across all seasons.

WestWorld serves as the venue for roughly 40 equestrian events each year, in addition to dozens of conventions, trade shows, concerts and other large-scale gatherings, including the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, the Arizona Quarter Horse Sun Circuit and the Barrett-

“There is no one in the city more deserving of this honor than Brian Dygert,” says City Manager Jim Thompson.

“He has done much to advance the Western spirit in Scottsdale and make the city a destination for people from around the world. His work ethic, experience and values

have made an indelible mark not only on the city, but also on the equestrian community nationwide. People who love horses, know that Scottsdale shares in, and respects, that passion, and we have Brian to thank for growing that legacy to what it is today.”

Among other career highlights, Dygert rode in an exhibition in the 1996 Olympics and served as the chair of the organizing team that introduced Reining as a discipline in the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.

Before coming to Scottsdale, he was widely recognized for his work with the Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center in Williamston, North Carolina. Dygert is the co-founder of the League of Agricultural and Equine Centers and served on its board of directors for 14 years.

“I am very humbled and extremely proud to be recognized in this way,” Dygert says.

“I have always approached everything I’ve done as leaving it better than I found it.

My parents instilled this in me, and I am so grateful for them and my family. The league induction means to me that I worked hard to leave an industry better than I arrived and for this I am grateful, very proud and happy to know my work will carry on for some time for others to enjoy.”

Valley recovery center launches alumni-focused nonprofit Scottsdale Recovery Center launched Scottsdale Recovery Continued, a nonprofit of more than 300 alumni members that focuses on connection after treatment for all graduates of the recovery program.

SRC has been a long-standing partner in the community since its inception in 2009, providing drug and alcohol treatment for those struggling with addiction.

“Our alumni group fosters a community of champions, who have struggled and overcome their addiction” says Lee Yaiva, CEO of SRC. Membership in Scottsdale Recovery Continued is organized under a nonprofit, at no cost to the graduate and begins upon completion of treatment, regardless of the

level of care. The organization has five alumni board members, including directors of alumni, administration, outreach, communication and events.

“Scottsdale Recovery Continued is a family,” says Andrea Dermott, director of alumni. “We stay connected, support each other and most importantly have fun.”

The nonprofit also incorporates full dimensional wellness through activities and volunteerism that promote sobriety, enhance the recovery lifestyle and positively impact outcomes upon completion of treatment.

“I am 100% into my recovery and the alumni program,” says John Bentley, director of outreach. “I have to be, my life depends on it. If I’m even only at 98%, there’s a chance

that I won’t do everything I need to stay sober.”

The organization has weekly meetings and activities that create opportunities for alumni to engage in occupational wellness with significant benefits. Members will have access to structured activities that support full dimensional wellness addressing each of the eight dimensions — emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, occupational, financial and environmental. Members will also be encouraged to take part in volunteer opportunities that enhance community relations, inspire others, empower people, minimize stigma, promote unity, and strengthen the core of the SRC family.

Scottsdale's Economic Development Department gets a new look Scottsdale’s Economic Development Department kicked off the new year with a brand refresh.

“The newly refreshed logo and color scheme helps to clearly articulate the brand and values to the marketplace and beyond,” says Rob Millar, director of Scottsdale’s Economic Development Department.

The extensive refresh project, launched in

2021, began with an analysis of stakeholders that included residents, talent, companies, site selectors and visitors. Their feedback was crucial in the creation of the new logo and color palette. The new brand persona will continue to position Scottsdale as an inviting and inclusive community.

The fresh-yet-bold color palette achieves one of the key themes of the new brand persona — balance. The city is accessible, beautiful, modern and skilled in work and leisure.

SUSD Governing Board elects 2022 officers Former Desert Canyon Middle School educator Julie Cieniawski and community college instructor Dr. Libby Hart-Wells were elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board at the board’s January 11 meeting.

The board chooses new leaders for the calendar year at its first meeting of the new year.

Cieniawski says working collaboratively toward decisions that have the best impact for students and the community is not always easy, but is necessary.

“Maintaining a focus on doing right by our students and having a willingness to learn how to be better can help our students and community move through even the most challenging of times.”

Cieniawski calls SUSD students the dis-

trict’s most valuable asset.

“They need us to demonstrate the value of hard work, perseverance, showing calm through adversity, pursuing creativity, sensibility and facts, and to regularly display grace.”

Hart-Wells says her active support of SUSD involves working with the district’s education and education support professionals, SUSD families, district leadership and her governing board colleagues.

“I pledge to continue focusing my energy on ensuring SUSD is and remains a place where all of our students thrive academically, emotionally and socially,” she says. “Our students deserve nothing less than our best.”

A Hazard?

261-unit Kierland apartment building gets 1st OK

By Scottsdale Airpark News Staff

A plan to add a five-story, 261-unit apartment building in the Kierland District passed its first approval in the city of Phoenix planning review process. (Image courtesy of city of Phoenix)

project that would add 261 luxury apartments in the Kierland District passed its first review in Phoenix recently but the developers must meet two concerns by Scottsdale Airport officials.

The Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee on January 10 recommended Phoenix Planning Commission approval of the Davis Kierland building, which would replace six “underutilized” two-story office buildings on 4.2 acres at 71st Street and Marilyn Road with a 75-foot-high, five-story building. If the Planning Commission OKs the project, it still must go before Phoenix City Council.

But city planners in their review of the project says developer Davis Development must notify the Federal Aviation Administration before it begins construction because the building is in the Scottsdale Airport flight path and must obtain a “no-hazard” declaration from the agency.

That means developers will have to assure the FAA that cranes used during the

building’s construction won’t pose an obstacle to aircraft.

City planners also noted in their evaluation of the project, “The city of Scottsdale Aviation Department expressed concern with the location of this project as it relates to the airports flight paths and the 55- and 60-Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) noise contours of Scottsdale Airport.”

An undated noise study performed by Coffman Associates Airport Consultants cited a multiagency study of noise levels generated by airports produced guidelines that describe a 65 DNL contour as “the threshold of significant impact for residential land uses and a variety of noise-sensitive institutions (such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, cultural activities, auditoriums, and outdoor music shells).”

That study also said multifamily developments were compatible with the 55 to 60 noise contours.

Phoenix planning staff apparently agreed, although it also said: “The property owner shall record documents that disclose the existence, and opera-

10 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / FEBRUARY 2022

tional characteristics of Scottsdale Municipal Airport (SDL) to future owners or tenants of the property. The form and content of such documents shall be approved by the planning and development department.”

Another document prepared for the city by the developer’s law firm, Snell & Wilmer, describes the overall project as “appropriate,” citing its “proximity to retail, office and light industrial employment opportunities.”

It said the apartment building will “provide quality, modern urban living experiences” and “create a pedestrian oriented, walkable environment along its roadway frontages for the benefit of the larger community” and offer “an opportunity to integrate residential uses with existing retail and employment centers.”

“The project contributes to the recent development trend that has reinvented the larger surrounding area with quality pedestrian edges, elimination of surface parking lots, and an emphasis on quality design that has visual interest within the pedestrian realm and to the broader community,” the firm writes. …continues on page 12

The building will offer a combination of one-, two- and three-bedroom units with 45 to 57 apartments on each floor, according to plans submitted to the city. Among the planned amenities are a pool and spa above the garage — there will be no surface parking — and an indoor sky lounge with open viewing deck may be added atop the fifth floor of the building.

One Phoenix couple objected to the project, writing: “This area is already over saturated with personal residences and traffic. Please do not support the changes requested by the applicant. This area does not need more residential housing. The street off of the proposed site, East Acoma, is already a pass-through that is highly used to escape traffic from Scottsdale Road and Kierland Boulevard. …

By Alison Bailin Batz irl Scouts from the Arizona Cactus-Pine Council are hitting shopping centers and other outlets to sell their trademark cookies through Sunday,

February 27.

More than 11,000 girls in grades kindergarten through 12 in more than 90 communities will develop their leadership skills and tools with the sales.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial program, generating over $700 million in annual sales.

Nearly 200 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies are sold annually to 50 million customers.

Girl Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council sold over 2 million packages of cookies last year. Amid the challenges of COVID-19, troops are hoping to meet or exceed previous sales goals.

“As we continue to find our new normal and navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, many girl entrepreneurs will utilize digital sales in the upcoming cookie program,” says Mary Mitchell, interim co-chief executive officer for the Girl Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council.

“Cookie entrepreneurs are planning on a safe and fun season by opting into in-person and/or digital sales through Digital Cookies, Girl Scout’s e-commerce platform available for each girl to build and manage her own website.”

Girls will also provide socially distant and contactless options in person and apply CDCrecommended precautions like wearing a face mask, advising customers to pay with card, and using hand sanitizer in between purchases.

“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is more than a sale,” says Christina Spicer, interim co-chief executive officer for the Girl ScoutsArizona Cactus-Pine Council.

“It provides girls the skills they need to

become successful women. Girl Scouts learn to invest in themselves, their troops, and their community. Encouraging girls’ interest in entrepreneurship prepares them for any future career pathway.

“The qualities that lead to successful entrepreneurship, like curiosity, confidence, and innovation, are essential for all types of academic and career success. There aren’t many organizations that help girls learn key entrepreneurship skills, but Girl Scouting does.”

The cookie lineup is as follows: • New: Adventurefuls: Brownie-inspired cookie with caramel-flavored crème and a hint of sea salt. $5 • Lemon-Ups: Crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages. $5 • Thin Mints: Mint flavored with a delicious chocolaty coating. Vegan. $5 • Tagalongs: Layers of peanut butter with a rich, chocolaty coating. $5

Lemon-Ups are crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages.

The girls’ selling options this year are as follows

Digital Cookie: Through this digital selling platform, girls build a custom website so they can invite friends and family to purchase cookies, with the option of having cookies delivered in person or shipped directly to their home. Girls can also use the Digital Cookie Mobile App to accept credit card payments on the go from customers. Digital Cookie also introduces lessons about online marketing, application use, and eCommerce to Girl Scouts, through building their own cookie website and managing their virtual sales.

Drive-thru booths: Local Girl Scout troops have the option to coordinate drive-thru booths, with cashless transactions being strongly requested. The drive-thru booths will be in parking lots that allow for plenty of distancing and space for the girls and their parents. Cars will have the chance to pull to the front of the line, make their orders, and have the contactless or near contactless ability to pick up their cookies as they would from a traditional booth. There will be parents stationed at each of these booths with sanitizing products to help the girls ensure maximum safety and monitor cookie transfer to cars.

Booths: As permitted and with CDC-recommended guidelines in place, including wearing masks and social distancing, girls will be setting up a temporary “shop” in front of local businesses providing socially distanced options for customers to purchase

cookies. Booth locations this year include longtime supporters Fry’s Food Stores, Bashas’ Family of Stores, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Sonic and other retailers and small businesses.

“Over the years, community partners like Bashas and Fry’s have been game changers for us and our local Girl Scouts,” Harvey says.

“We are incredibly thankful for all of our retail partners, small and large, who help our girls in their sale by simply sharing their space and support.

“We’d also like to acknowledge that because of partners like Bashas, our girls on the Navajo Nation and Hopi Lands also get the opportunity to reach cookie customers safely in more rural areas of our jurisdiction.”

THE PEOPLE’S OPEN RETURNS WITH NEW FEATURES

By Joe McHugh

ith a competitive field and a multitude of golf and charity experiences, the Waste Management Phoenix Open is returning to TPC Scottsdale.

“It is going to be great to have everybody back out on the course and experience the Waste Management Open the way we all know and love it,” tournament Chairman Michael

Golding says.

One of Arizona’s premier golf tournaments, “The Greatest Show on Grass” surrounds a 162-yard par 3.

The 2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open hits the greens from Monday, February 7, to Sunday, February 13. “The People’s Open” has been named the Tournament of the Year by the PGA Tour four times in the past seven years (2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019). The 2022 edition will mark the 87th playing of the event (one of the five oldest events on the PGA Tour) and the 13th with Waste Management as title sponsor.

The field, as of January 21, has 20 players ranked in the Top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings, led by Jon Rahm, who sits first in the standings, and followed closely by Justin Thomas at fifth.

The other top-ranked players include Hideki Matsuyama (10), Sam Burns (13), Scottie Scheffler (14), Jordan Spieth (15), Tony Finau (17), Brooks Koepka (18), Abraham Ancer (20), Jason Kokrak (21), Billy Horschel (23), Matt Fitzpatrick (24), Webb Simpson (29), Talor Gooch (31), Max Homa (34), Kevin Kisner (36), Corey Conners (38), Russell Henley (40), Lucas Herbert (43) and Seamus Power (49).

The 132 players will vie for the $8.2 million purse, the $1.476 million first-place check, and 500 FedExCup points.

PGA Tour members have until 5 p.m. Friday, February 4, to commit to play in the WM Phoenix Open. Eligible players are assigned one of 34 PGA Tour priority ranking categories based on their past performance on tour. The field will continue to change as players with higher priority rankings commit to play in the open.

“We are expecting one of, if not the best, fields in the history of our tournament, with our field getting stronger with each announcement we make,” Golding says.

FEBRUARY 2022 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

The 2022 tournament will also include ASU freshman Preston Summerhays, who received the first sponsor exemption for the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

“I first started standard bearing at the Waste Management Phoenix Open when I was 10 years old, so this event is like a major championship to me,” Summerhays says.

“To be able to compete against the very best players in the world, in this amazing atmosphere, in my own backyard, is a dream come true.”

The Thunderbirds have five exemptions to award for the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. The remaining four exemptions will be announced leading up to the tournament.

In the running

James Hahn is expected to make a great showing at the open, as he has performed well since 2017 with three top-25 finishes.

Shooting an 11th place-worthy -12 in 2018, a 25th place-worthy -9 in 2020, and a

10th place-worthy -15 in 2021, Hahn could be in prime striking distance for this year’s title.

“Any opportunity where I can play a home game, sleep in my own bed and have the support of a hometown crowd, it’s really exciting for me as a PGA Tour professional,” Hahn says.

Hahn is also coming into the Waste Management Phoenix Open with another plus — his health. In 2019, Hahn was sidelined for eight months with a partial tear in his elbow.

Healthy, he returned in 2021, when he had one of the best years of his career, scoring five top 10 finishes. Hahn carried that momentum into the 2021-22 season, where he has a top 15 finish at the ZOZO Championship in Japan and a 27th-place bid at the World Wide Technology Championship.

“It was one of those stretches where my putter got hot,” Hahn says about 2021. “I was making a lot of puts, and I was feeling good and I was fresh.”

Full-throttle event

Although it is primarily a golf tournament, the Waste Management Phoenix Open has plenty of peripheral events.

This year features a 16th hole, 16,000-person-capacity coliseum so country’s Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion can kick off the festivities.

“It is going to be a spectacular night and, certainly, a tradition that I think will have a stable place as a part of our week for years to come,” Golding says.

The 2021 iteration has a new presenting sponsor, Taylor Morrison, which leads to the Fairway House, a 36,000-squarefoot structure for general admission attendees.

Marked with a large American flag, the Fairway House is parallel to the 12th hole fairway at the highest point of the golf course.

“You could spend a day watching four holes of golf from the highest point on our golf course,” Golding says. “It is a great example of how important it is for

the Thunderbirds to have a place for the general admission population to have a great experience at a hospitality venue like no other on our golf course.”

The week’s worth of events caters to golfers and nongolfers. On Monday, February 7, practice rounds are free for attendees. The pro-am follows with evening concert experiences at the Coors Light Birds Nest with Diplo and Cole Swindell on Wednesday, February 9; Sam Hunt and Russell Dickerson on Thursday, February 10; Macklemore, Quinn XCII and Ayokay on Friday, February 11; and Kygo, Sam Feldt and Forester on Saturday, February 12.

“We are ‘The People’s Open,’” Golding says. “We are dedicated to our fans coming out, having a great day, and being able to watch some great golf.” 

HAILING A NEW Scottsdale Community says it’s filling a void in the Airpark

By Scottsdale Airpark News Staff

he Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions hailed the opening of Scottsdale Community Bank — which obtained the state’s first independent bank charter in more than 14 years.

“Scottsdale Community Bank’s willingness to invest in Arizona demonstrates the state’s strong position as a great place to do business and the need for continued banking expansion,” DIFI Director Evan Daniels says.

“Community banks continue to perform a significant role in the country’s banking sector, and I welcome this addition to Arizona’s banking community.”

The newly chartered full-service commercial bank opened at 8767 E. Via De Ventura, after receiving final regulatory approval from both the state and the

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Boasting “personalized financial services while leveraging market opportunity with small and medium-size businesses, especially those wishing to pursue product off erings with local decision-making and concern for the Scottsdale community,” the bank is locally owned and managed.

“There is a tremendous banking opportunity in Arizona, which is one of the fastest-growing fi nancial and business centers in the nation, yet is drastically underserved,” says Neill LeCorgne, president and chief executive officer of Scottsdale Community Bank.

He noted that Arizona has only 10 community banks, compared with 410 in Texas, 401 in Illinois, 144 in California and 41 in Utah.

“Our greatest opportunity is rooted in our local decision-making and having our products and services delivered through the most innovative banking platforms

26 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / FEBRUARY 2022

available in the industry today,” LeCorgne adds. “If you want a banker who answers your calls, actually listens to you, and makes house calls to your business, then we are your bank.”

Vice Chair Hemant Patel says the leadership team comprises people with extensive backgrounds in banking, business, nonprofit and public service, including longtime Scottsdale and Arizona community leaders.

He said the approval process involved a 1,000-page application, extensive background checks of board members and executives, and even a pandemic banking forecast.

“We raised over $19 million in capital, which was $3 million more than targeted, from over 200 insightful founders who saw the dire need in our community for an innovative, effi cient bank that truly provides personalized attention and swift financial services to its clients,” Patel boasts. “One of our guideposts is: ‘Doing

W BANK well for our investors by doing good for the community.’”

SCB plans to partner with other financial institutions on various projects of mutual interest.

Candy charcuterie board

ow did charcuterie b o a rd s b e c o m e s o popular and an Instagram sensation?

If I had to guess, I’d say they found their groove simply because the pictures of them are highly, well, Instagrammable! These gorgeous oversized platters piled with delectable meats, cheeses, nuts, dried fruits, pickles, olives, pepperoncini and specialty mustards have become a hit for movie watching, game night and, of course, big sporting events like the Super Bowl or World Series.

Plus, folks just can’t get enough of posting pics and videos of this trending moveable feast. But I have another idea for this treat tray.

It’s a candy charcuterie board, and I’ve incorporated so many fun ideas that my tray has everything from vintage and retro candy favorites and Southwestern sweets to fan favorites and state fair fare.

The idea for the candy charcuterie board follows the same criteria as for the meat and cheese boards. First, I think a charcuterie board is a conversation piece.

We love to gather and share morsels of gourmet goodness that spark comments as we graze. My candy charcuterie board is no different. It’s meant to remind people of their favorite candy growing up, specialty treats from their own regions of the country, and some fun novelty candies; and, of course, it’s loaded up with everyone’s favorite chocolate bars, hard candies, licorice, and even popcorn to balance out the sweet!

So, here’s how I put my candy charcuterie board together!

Step 1: Choose a tray or board. Mine was 18 inches by 12 inches.

Step 2: Look for fun, colorful containers and scoops. Party City is a great place to start.

Step 3: For retro and vintage candy, I included Necco Wafers, candy necklaces, Sugar Daddys, candy cigarettes, Pixy Stix and Beemans, Clove and Blackjack gum.

Step 4: For regional treats, I included Mexican Del La Rosa Marzipan candy and a taco made of gummy candies.

Step 5: For novelties, I added SpongeBob SquarePants gummy hamburgers, cotton candy and tins of mint “Impowermints,” “Enlightenmints” and “14th Amendmints”!

Step 6: Add a lot of fan favorites: bubble gum, M&M’s, hard candies, old-fashioned candy stick, licorice and Boston baked beans.

Step 7: Look for treats that give back.

ACE Hardware sells chocolate bars that help raise money for children’s hospitals around the country.

Step 8: Incorporating mini boxes of

FOOD & WINE

What’s Cooking?

freshly popped popcorn helps balance out the sweet with salty.

Step 9: Find sweets and treats with a theme. For instance, for the Super Bowl, include chocolate footballs and mini toothpick pennants.

Where to find these items

I found all my fun retro, vintage and novelty candies and mints at Old Town Candy and Toys, 4000 N. Scottsdale Road, oldtowncandyandtoys.com.

Scoops, candy containers, mini popcorn boxes, chocolate footballs and pennants, individually wrapped bitesized candy and Pixy Stix are available at Party City.

Food City has the Del La Rosa Marzipan candy. 

Who Knew?

Quirky bits of Scottsdale history that still fascinate

S

By Joan Fudala ome threads of Scottsdale history are monumental — 1888 founding, agricultural era, World War II impact, 1951 incorporation — while others are just plain fascinating.

For old timers, these are the triggers for pleasant memories. For newcomers, they might be head scratchers or links to recollections of their own hometown. For anyone, they are too good to be forgotten.

Who knew that:  Scottsdale was nearly named Orangedale (for its citrus groves) or Utleyville (after a major landowner Albert Utley). However, townsfolk decided that honoring founder and leading citizen Chaplain Winfield Scott might be most appropriate. In early listings, it was spelled with a hyphen, “Scotts-dale.”  As most early settlers in Scottsdale were teetotalers, they were ardent supporters of the temperance movement. Anti-Saloon League rallies were held here. Some property owners put restrictions on their deeds, declaring that liquor would never be sold or consumed here. After nationwide prohibition was repealed in the 1930s, the first taverns and cafes serving alcohol opened in Scottsdale.

Further signs of change — one of the first five town councilmen, Jack Sweeney, owned the Saguaro Inn Tavern; three-term Mayor Herb Drinkwater owned a liquor store. Today, Scottsdale is known for its vibrant nightlife

and operated through the 1950s.

The building was repurposed in the 1980s as a farmers market and trolley barn, in the 1990s as The Works nightclub, and torn down for expansion of the then-Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn campus.

 Members of Scottsdale’s art colony, led by Garnet Davy Grosse and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, originated National Art Week here in 1922.  Facilities used to house World War II German prisoners of war were converted into a temporary veterans hospital in Papago Park.

The hospital served vets from 1946 until the permanent VA Hospital opened in 1951 in Phoenix.  During the late 1940s, the Treasure Island Amusement Park offered “thrilling rides, swell games and loads of fun,” per an August 4 ad in the Arizona Republic. It was located three-quarters of a mile off East Van Buren on Scottsdale Road near the Welfare Sanatorium.  The Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce opened the town’s winter tourist season with a dinner that “featured a 4-square-foot chicken pie” and “entertainment included hillbilly music and square dancing,” according to a blurb in the December 12, 1949, Arizona Republic.  During the Cold War years of the 1950s, Scottsdale farmers and ranchers like Mike Dominguez had their specialized equipment logged by Maricopa County Civil Defense officials — trucks, tractors and trailers, “which might be brought into play in case of a mass evacuation” or other disaster, according to the April 5, 1951, Scottsdale Progress. There were air raid warning klaxons at Motorola and Kaibab Elementary School, which were tested regularly.

O’Malley Lumber Co. sold do-it-yourself fallout shelter kits at its Scottsdale location.  In 1954, George Bergstrom moved his La Solana Pottery ovenware business from Southern California to a plant on Second Street in Scottsdale.

During the 1960s, the American Heritage Wax Museum, an affiliate of the London-based Madame Tussaud’s, was a key attraction on Scottsdale’s Stetson Drive. It hosted historic and timely wax dioramas, featuring the Beatles, the Kennedys, Dick Van Dyke’s Mary Poppins chimney sweep, and Babe Ruth.

REMEMBER When

If the 1956 Scottsdale Town Council hadn’t voted to lift the ban on dancing in Scottsdale, this 1970s benefit to Save the Little Red Schoolhouse and hundreds of other dances might not have taken place. (Photo courtesy of Scottsdale Historical Society)

Bergstrom’s pastel-colored Solanaware was a popular wedding gift and was given away as an incentive at gas stations throughout the United States.  From the December 12, 1956, Arizona Republic: “Dancing, presently forbidden within the town city limits here (in Scottsdale), will

be allowed on special occasions at the nearly completed Hotel Valley Ho, the city council (sic: it was then a town council) decided last night.”  During the 1950s there were proposals to build a Muslim temple and a motocross track at Curry’s Corner, the intersection of

Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads.  The Parada del Sol parade has lots of quirky legends and lore. At least five times in the 1950s and 1960s, the winner on the “Queen for a Day” TV show was gifted a trip to Scottsdale, often attending Parada. A highlight of the run-up to Parada for Scottsdale men

REMEMBER When was the Remington-sponsored “Whiskerino” contest. Prizes were given for the best and worst beards, which had been grown over a three-month period.  In February 1962, residents of South Scottsdale turned up in force wearing gas masks to protest the stench emanating from Scottsdale’s Sewage Treatment Plant.

The American Heritage Wax Museum, an affiliate of Madame Tussaud’s of London, operated from 1961 to 1971 on Stetson Drive (today the approximate location of the Marshall Way bridge and Southbridge). Museum tour guides were high school coeds dressed in cowgirl costumes.  Billie Jean King, who won the 1967 Phoenix Thunderbird Tennis Tournament, was named the Female Athlete of the Year 1968.  The August 12, 1968, issue of the Scottsdale Progress reported that “when the new Scottsdale civic center complex opens in October it will have something for everyone — even the kids. Plans now call for the installation of a ‘spider monkey’ island in a large pond on the grounds. The uncaged monkeys will be allowed to cavort on poles and swings placed on the island.” The front-page article further stated that peacocks and African brush chickens would also be allowed to wander around the grounds. None of it happened — yet. But

there were swans.

ASU geologists tentatively identified the bones as those of a giant mammoth, prehistoric horses, tortoises and ground sloth.  During the 1980s, several Scottsdalebased members of the Hashknife Pony Express took a detour and rode their horses up the city hall stairs to visit Drinkwater.  In 1990 there were discussions to locate Scottsdale area resident Robert McCall. That a UFO (unidentified flying object) center in Scottsdale. The former didn’t happen either.

People, places, projects and proposals — Loloma School was one of the sites considered.

It didn’t happen. In the mid-1990s there was some mainstream, some quirky — continue talk of locating a space museum here which, to give us a rich history and plenty of reasons among other things, would feature the art of for nostalgia. 
