Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale is reintroducing a charitable initiative that will help Valley nonprofits.

Under the name D.R.I.V.E.—Donations for Recovery and Investment that are Very Essential—the initiative will run for a year, focusing on supporting and highlighting local causes. The initiative is a continuation of Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale’s commitment to supporting organizations that improve the community.

In the past, Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale has supported such causes as the Jones-Gordon School, Scottsdale Firefighters Association, Homeward Bound, Arizona Science Center, HopeKids, Health Network Foundation, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Mayo Clinic and Valley View Leadership.

“As we all experience unprecedented events, Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale is grateful to be in a position to assist organizations that provide services that are essential, now more than ever,” coowner Anita Theisen says.

“We are so excited to announce that we will be donating $5,000 each month towards local causes and charities that have been significantly impacted by recent events, and to begin the initiative, our initial donation will go to support the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation.”

The dealership selected Phoenixbased Fresh Start as the first charity to help this year due to a rise in domestic violence that has been a tragic result of the pandemic. Fresh Start Women’s Foundation helps provide education, resources and support for women during difficult times.

A new charity will be announced each month, with a $5,000 check to follow.

The dealership is appealing to all its customers to join them each month via emails and social media posts.

AMMO invests in additional machinery AMMO Inc., an Airpark-based ammunition and munition components manufacturer, has made additional investments in new machinery to further increase the company’s manufacturing and production capacity at its facility in Payson.

AMMO will add new loading, inspection and priming machines, along with a new laser machine to be utilized for the company’s production of its proprietary STREAK ammunition offerings. Once the new machinery is up and running, the company expects the following daily capacity increases by year-end of calendar 2020 compared to year-end of calendar 2019: • Pistol loading daily capacity to increase by nearly 500%.

• Rifle loading daily capacity to increase by nearly 170%.

• STREAK ammunition daily production capacity to increase by nearly 600%.

Through the expansion of its current capacity with the new machinery, AMMO

expects this investment to reduce costs, make the overall manufacturing process more efficient, and allow the company to increase production of its higher-margin products.

“Further expanding our manufacturing and production capacity will allow us to continue meeting the heightened demand that our business has experienced over the past several months,” says Fred Wagenhals, AMMO’s CEO. “With a minimum capital expenditure investment of $2 million, we have increased our machines’ maximum daily capacity and our year-over-year production output across nearly all of our channels. By making these investments in our equipment, we can ensure that we are providing the highest-quality service and products to our customers while meeting their increased demands in a timely manner.” …continues on page 10 AUGUST 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

Grimaldi's Pizzeria is iconic

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is one of the five beloved American restaurants whose flavors will be recreated by Lay's in potato chip form.

To “return the flavor” and acknowledge the economic impact of COVID-19 on the restaurant industry, Lay’s has enacted a $25,000 Gratitude Fund for each of the Flavor Icons restaurants to put toward the various relief efforts that will help them recover from the impact of the pandemic.

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria serves traditional, coal-fired, brick-oven pizza using pizza-making traditions originating in Brooklyn more than 100 years ago.

Using only the freshest ingredients, pizzas are prepared in the brand’s signature coal-fired brick ovens, which deliver an authentic taste that cannot be achieved with gas, convection or wood-burning ovens. The ovens’ intense heat evenly bakes the pizzas to create the famous, crispy and smoky thin crust so iconic of Grimaldi’s pizza.

Aviation Business Center earns LEED Gold The U.S. Green Building Council has recognized Scottsdale’s Aviation B u s i n e s s C e n t e r, 1 5 0 0 0 N . A i r p o r t Drive, with the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification. The award recognizes the project for its sustainable, green building qualities.

The Aviation Business Center is a modern, two-story, 23,250-square-foot steel building featuring glass facades, wood designer elements and an open design. It serves as the hub for the aviation administration offices, U.S. Customs and Border Protection office, leased office space, public meeting rooms, an outdoor plaza, an on-site restaurant and a veterans memorial.

During the design, staff and the architects worked hard to achieve LEED Gold standards while maintaining the vision, budget and schedule for the project. The building was designed to conserve resources and reduce energy consumption.

“We are proud of achieving gold-level certification,” says Aviation Director Gary P. Mascaro. “The goal from the start was to build to a high level of sustainable standards without sacrificing on design.”

Most new city buildings strive to be built to LEED Gold standards per Section 2 of Resolution No. 6644. The city of Scottsdale has 14 LEED-certified buildings, including four Platinum and now five Gold buildings.

The Quarter hosts back-toschool drive for foster kids

Four members elected to Catholic board of directors

Scottsdale Quarter has partnered with Arizona Helping Hands to host a week-long school supply drive benefiting children in foster care starting Monday, August 3, through Sunday, August 9.

Foster kids experience change often, and these times of uncertainty provide additional challenges. Although school will look different this year, these supplies will give children in foster care the tools they need to succeed.

Supplies can be dropped off during mall hours at the donation bin in front of the shopping center’s school bus display on 73rd Place between the stores Albion Fit and Paige. Those who want to help but can’t drop off at the shopping center can also participate virtually by sponsoring a backpack filled with supplies for $35.

drive-in concert series is coming to WestWorld of Scottsdale.

R Entertainment and M Culinary, producers of the Scottsdale Fourth of July fireworks show, are working with the city to produce the Scottsdale Drive-In Concert Series.

The three-month, 10- to 20-show series is slated to kick off sometime this summer and run through September 7, according to plans submitted to the city on June 16.

As for the entertainment, attendees can expect performances from popular musicians, like Sublime with Rome and the Chainsmokers; comedians, like Bill Burr; and even podcasters, like Joe Rogan.

“These artists are actively in discussion to finalize their appearances this summer on a stage at WestWorld of Scottsdale,” an R Entertainment executive states in the submitted plans. …continues on page 12 AUGUST 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

AIRPARK Buzz …continued from page 11

R Entertainment declined an interview, but a representative for the group told the Airpark News the schedule “is in development and will be announced when more details are available.”

According to the report, organizers anticipate about 500 cars per show.

Concertgoers will enjoy the performances from within their vehicles via FM transmitters provided by the organizers upon arrival and payment.

Admission would be tiered at $100, $200 and $300 per vehicle, “presumably depending on who is performing and the number of people in the vehicles,” the plans state.

“Due to the COVID-19 outbreak everywhere and California’s stay-at-home rules, event organizers predict this summer concert series will attract thousands of visitors on road trips to the Valley,” says Karen Churchard, city director of tourism and events.

Churchard says the organizers are working with Experience Scottsdale and many of their members to create “stay ‘n’ play” bundled packages.

They are also required through the agreement with the city—a title sponsor— to promote a minimum of 10 Scottsdale hotel properties.

“Though something like this has never been tried before, the organizers are veteran event planners and very experienced in producing conventional concerts,” Churchard says.

R Entertainment and M Culinary presented the Scottsdale Fourth of July event.

“Scottsdale Fourth of July in its ‘drivein’ format was so delightful and in such demand that the team is even more excited to provide updates for the concert series, which would have a similar footprint,” R Entertainment’s rep says.

The sold-out Scottsdale Fourth of July show offered 20-by-20-foot spaces for vehicles instead of 12-by-20-foot spaces and required masks for staff and guests when outside their vehicle.

Scottsdale was one of few Valley cities that held a Fourth of July fireworks show.

Kerry Dunne, principal of R Entertainment and organizer of the event, noted before the event, “If we couldn’t do it

R Entertainment and M Culinary also presented the drive-in virtual Garth Brooks concert at WestWorld on June 27.

The one-night-only show screened at 300 drive-in theaters, entertaining more than 350,000 fans nationwide.

12 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

Following that, they presented Blake Shelton with special guests Gwen Stefani and Trace Adkins at WestWorld on July 25.

Also screening at 300 select drive-ins, the one-night-only show featured all-new performances filmed exclusively for the event and included cinematic interviews and storytelling.

The event charged $114.99 per carload with no more than six people.

“This is such a great way to enjoy music with your family and friends and stay safe,” Shelton says.

“I’m excited we’re getting the chance to perform a concert for fans, and we’re going to go back and play old hits like ‘Austin,’ newer songs like ‘God’s Country,’ and we might even introduce something brand new!”

The Scottsdale Summer Concert Series will target 18- to 45-year-olds who love music, concertgoers, and residents of Southern California—a target market area for Experience Scottsdale.

“For 18- to 45-year-olds, this is tantamount to a prison sentence,” the R Entertainment executive says. “There is major pent-up demand among this group, and we propose to be their escape valve this summer.”

Churchard adds that concert series, “if successful, should be a boost for Scottsdale’s sluggish summer economy.”

To supplement the organizers’ marketing, public relations and artist outreach budget, the city approved a $50,000 transfer to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget.

“As always, it is difficult to assess a first-time event, especially one as unique as this. The Tourism Development Commission and city council approval of funding shows their trust in the event producers’ ability to draw and market top-notch entertainers,” Churchard says.

The hope is to turn first-time visitors into return visitors.

“By producing a compelling series of popular music, comedy and podcaster events, we can target market and draw these fans from California to Scottsdale all summer long. It would be a reverse of what normally happens when ‘Zonies’ flock to California in the summer,” the R Entertainment executive says. 

Making the Grade J.D. Wyczalek helps make college a reality to students worldwide

By Alison Bailin Batz

.D. Wyczalek’s story starts in the 1940s.

“No, I am not 80 years old. But, in the 1940s when my dad was a child, his family drove from New York to the West Coast along the famed Route 66,” Wyczalek says. “And I wouldn’t be here in Arizona if they didn’t.”

When his father, then 12, got home from the trip, he nonchalantly announced he was going to grow up, get married and move out West.

“And he did just that, though he chose Northern California to relocate at the time,” says Wyczalek, who was born in the Bay area in 1965.

Wyczalek calls his childhood a little cookie cutter, though not in a bad way.

“My dad was a doctor, mom was a teacher and the next-door neighbor was a police officer,” Wyczalek says. “I, personally, wanted to be Spider-Man when I grew up, so one could say I was looking for career options out of the norm from those in my community from a young age.”

However, a radioactive spider didn’t bite him, so he enlisted a school guidance counselor to help him decide what to do after high school. Adept at art, the counselor suggested he consider majoring in that in college.

“I went home and did some research, quickly learning that artists didn’t exactly have job security, so set out to find some creative outlet with a little more stability,” Wyczalek says. “Looking back, the entire process of zeroing in on a field of study as well as a school was quite daunting.”

During his search, he came across graphic design, which seemed to be a good blend of artistry and business strategy. In the late 1980s, he enrolled at Biola University in Los Angeles to study graphic design.

“The good news is that I met my wife at Biola,” Wyczalek says. “The bad news is that I took an internship in graphic design while

at Biola and hated it. So, upon graduation, I was a little lost.”

Wyczalek worked in retail and other jobs before a friend asked him to consider getting into IT in the mid-1990s. “By then, my wife and I were already making plans to relocate to Arizona—along Route 66 just like my dad planned—so I moved into the IT industry with eyes to get some experience and then transfer here long term,” Wyczalek says.

In the early 2000s, Wyczalek—with experience under his belt—and his wife made the move to Scottsdale, where he took a position in Chaparral High School’s IT department.

“Little by little, I found myself doing far more there than dealing with computers,” Wyczalek says. “I quickly became a sounding board for talented teens still trying to nail down what they wanted to do after high

14 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

school, a topic for which I could certainly relate.”

By 2007, Wyczalek was a father three times and researched all of the effective, efficient ways to help teens navigate the “what are you going to be when you grow up” conversation. It happens in all of our heads, not to mention with friends and family by middle school.

“I wanted to help kids the way I would have loved to have been helped at their age,” Wyczalek says. “So, I started my own business to do just that.”

AZCollegePlanning.com was born in Scottsdale in 2007, with the mission of helping teens and even preteens to determine what they might want to study after high school; potential traditional and nontraditional career paths; colleges and universities they should consider; and how to best position themselves for not only acceptance into the schools of their choice but scholarships and grants available to them at each.

“We don’t just give lists, and we aren’t a tutor,” Wyczalek says.

“Instead, we dig deep with the students on their aptitude, attitude, financial goals and needs, and even the long-term growth potential in the vocations that interest them.”

Wyczalek even helps students effectively market themselves to the most competitive colleges in the world. As a result, in the past 13 years AZCollegePlanning.com has helped an estimated 4,000 students worldwide get into college and earn anywhere from $10,000 to $250,000 in scholarships per student.

“With school very different than it has ever been, given COVID-19, we’ve also added free virtual workshops and programs to help parents and teens from home to ensure their safety while helping ensure their futures,” Wyczalek says.

By Jennifer Schwegman elieving her daughter, Dylan, should have post-high school opportunities to contribute to the community and achieve her personal goals, former teacher Mimi Rogers went into action.

In 2003, she started One Step Beyond Inc. (OSBI), with a vision of providing innovative programs that empower adults who have intellectual disabilities, like her daughter, to be independent, seek and maintain employment, and achieve greater social participation in their communities.

“We started the program with 16 participants in a small Phoenix neighborhood location,” says Rogers, who will retire as CEO later this year. “Today, we’re the Valley’s largest provider of advanced education programs for adults who have intellectual and cognitive disabilities, serving more than 500 individuals at four Phoenix Metro locations.”

Funded through the Arizona Department of Economic Security’s Division of Developmental Disabilities, the newest One Step Beyond campus opened in the Scottsdale Airpark in early 2020.

“A flood of requests from Scottsdale-based special education teachers and families persuaded us to expand our services,” Rogers says. “Knowing that we had a strong infrastructure in place, this was an easy decision to make.”

According to One Step Beyond Executive Director Mike Homco, the 14,000-square-foot campus includes a fully equipped music room, art studio, commercial kitchen, fitness center, and four large classrooms for individualized instruction.

“The amenities at OSBI are unmatched and enable us to provide one-of-a-kind programs unavailable anywhere else,” Homco says.

“For instance, our culinary training programs take place in a real commercial kitchen where we provide food-industry training with an emphasis on customer service, healthy dietary planning, food preparation and proper sanitation skills that equip our participants with the necessary skills to seek employment in the food industry.”

The culinary program also includes a catering business that can provide lunch service and catering to Scottsdale businesses.

One Step Beyond’s life skills programs help members strengthen independent living skills, with an emphasis on money management, functional literacy, social skills and safe community access.

Employment programs provide training and volunteer opportunities for selfreliance that lead to competitive or supported employment.

OSBI recreation and fine arts programs provide music, art, dance and fitness with an emphasis on personal wellness.

Music students can work with some of the best in the business, performing in front of large crowds and recording with A-list producers.

According to Theresa Robinette, whose son Eric attends daily programming at OSBI, “My son was struggling, but his language and communication skills have skyrocketed.

He now loves singing in front of an audience, and when he sang an entire 4-minute Ed Sheeran song at the last One Step Beyond music performance, I cried.”

OSBI also has the first and only campusbased day training program that has a special needs hockey team, The One Step Coyotes.

OSBI has a formal partnership with Special Olympics where more than 300 OSBI athletes participate in year-round sports training and tournament participation.

While the mission of OSBI is to provide hands-on experiences, the recent pandemic and stay-at-home orders challenged the team to provide services in a new way.

“COVID-19 definitely threw us a curveball, but with the encouragement from our members and their families, we have been able to deliver many of our programs in a virtual environment,” Homco says. “We still have community-based services for members that require it, but the online classes have helped us maintain social engagement with many of our members, including a guest speaker series that has enabled our members to interact with local mayors and other distinguished VIPs.” Unlike other campus-based day training programs, OSBI partners with its members and their families to identify and provide innovative, individualized and comprehensive educational, employment, life skills and transitional services.

If a desired program isn’t currently offered, the team finds a way to make it happen.

“One Step Beyond gives our members a voice,” Rogers says. “It’s not up to us to decide what opportunities to provide, so we rely on our members to provide that feedback.”

One Step Beyond staff is comprised of professionals who have made it their life’s mission to better the lives of adults who have intellectual disabilities.

Upin the Creativity is the key to hangar weddings

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

ohn and Kirsten Pexa were 10 days from their March 30, 2019, wedding when their plans unraveled. They lost their Airparkarea venue.

The couple was frantic, but a group of Valley vendors came together to provide the perfect spot for Kirsten and her pilot fiancé—a hangar in the Scottsdale Airpark.

“All the cards fell into place the right way,” says Sabrina Meyers of Phoenix’s Vermilion Events, the wedding planner.

“We had an amazing team. The industry in this Valley is very tight and close connected. We help each other out. That was a really nice thing to have happen.”

Hangar weddings were en vogue before the pandemic, but with social distancing, they’re a perfect spot to get hitched. Meyers looked to Karen May of Scottsdale Hangar Parties for help with the room in 2019. In light of the pandemic, May is ready with social distancing signs, fire marshal requests, thermometers, extra washing stations, and signs outlining mask requirements. May says it’s possible to stream a wedding, too, and make it look like it’s a big event.

“I love her venues because of the uniqueness of them,” says Nicki Crause of Chandler’s Events to Remember of May’s talents. “She has some cool, really different, out-of-the-box weddings, like having a bride land from a helicopter. It’s been cool working with her.”

Through her company, May enjoys working with older or secondtime brides because they know exactly what they want and they’re more open to suggestions.

“I love the ones who just want to come have fun or are fun to work with,” she says. “For a wedding I’m doing in July, we’re dividing this …continues on page 18 AUGUST 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

massive hangar into three. They’re leaving in a helicopter. They just want to have fun—and they’re having logoed masks.”

“We had another wedding where the wedding party went on a tour of Arizona in a helicopter and came back to attend their rehearsal dinner. They filmed the whole thing and put it to AC/ DC and showed it at the rehearsal dinner. We can make nearly anything work.”

Her goal is to throw a “ride or die” biker wedding in a hangar, where the wedding party arrives and leaves on Harleys.

“We could run them up the tarmac,” she says with a laugh. “We want couples to parachute in some time. We’ve got our parachute guys, who are awesome. We could tandem in the bride and groom, too. I’m hoping we get to do that, too. I like to do things that are fun, unique and interesting. I don’t like boring.”

When it came to Kirsten, May needed to help.

“Kirsten, she’s a beautiful blond,” she explains. “She wore this long, black dress. She had this beautiful farm table, a DJ and got married in front of the jet. It was a cool backdrop.

“We had airport décor and little planes. I was glad I was able to help. It’s hard when someone’s just so sad. It worked out great, and she was thrilled.”

Kirsten found the “perfect” dress as well, a playful black and nude number that exuded the couple’s personality. The Anthem pair didn’t want a traditional wedding for their second time at the altar. They wanted a party.

“We were both in our 40s at the time,” she says. “I just said, for the dress, I would find whatever I could find. I wanted more of a party, not a wedding. I just knew when I tried it on that it was perfect. I went with it and went into party mode.”

She was escorted down the makeshift aisle—or runway—by her daughter and John’s son. The engaged pair met at a jet outside of the hangar doors.

“Everybody ate that up and thought it was fantastic,” she says. “There was nothing traditional about it. We had an open bar, a

happy hour, prior to the ceremony. The ceremony was standing room only.

“We had vintage couches and chairs in the front that were reserved for close, immediate family. Everybody gathered around the jet, and it was perfect for us.”

Meyers, who has a degree in fine arts, says it was “magical.”

The thrill with throwing a wedding in a hangar is it’s a blank slate—an all-white room with plenty of room for creativity.

“It takes a little bit of outside-of-the-box thinking,” Meyers says. “With creativity and teamwork, we really put this together.

I love the flexibility of the blank canvas because there’s so much you can do—drape the walls, bring rigging in, etc.”

Meyers says the hangar they used had a kitchen and access to side rooms for the bride to hang out and a space for the groom to relax.

Crause adds, “It’s not your standard hotel/resort ballroom look.”

When May and Meyers came together to help the Pexas, it was “magical.”

“Within a week, we had a new venue, a new caterer and a whole new setup,” Meyers says.

“It was absolutely fabulous. We created this amazing masterpiece with the McDowell Mountains in background and a sweetheart table right in front of it. We hired Tom and Lin Catering. They did an amazing spread. We created this amazing space that had amazing energy. Kiki (Kirsten) and John were amazing. She was set on what she wanted, and her vision aligned with mine.”

Kirsten describes it as “quite the situation.”

“It was absolutely perfect,” Kirsten says.

“I couldn’t have imagined it being better. It turned out better than we thought.”  Nicki Crause Events to Remember eventstorememberllc.com Karen May Scottsdale Private Event Venues 480-616-0707, spevevents.com David Twigger or Sabrina Meyers Vermilion Events 480-420-8923, vermilionevents.com

Lifelong

Dream

Realized Pietro Marsala fought for the right to fly commercial planes

P

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski ietro Marsala remembers, as a child, his father bribing him with trips to the flight deck midflight when they flew to Italy every summer to see family.

“I was the best kid in the world for two weeks,” Marsala says. “It would be just me and my dad in there with them. This was before 9/11. I’d be in awe of everything going on. I looked at them like they were superheroes.

“I loved the way they carried themselves in the terminals, the equipment they fly and their passion. I was in awe of it all.

I developed my passion for flying there.”

That passion never died, but a diagnosis of type-1 diabetes almost derailed his dreams.

For pilots who dreamed of flying airplanes commercially, a diabetes diagnosis meant having to give it up. That is until November, when the Federal Aviation Association reversed course and began issuing first- and second-class medical certificates required for commercial flying to people with diabetes, like Marsala, a Scottsdale resident.

Why the change? A combination of advancements in diabetes technology—and a ton of heart and perseverance from the people who use it.

Practice makes perfect

When Marsala was 11, he spent hours on his Microsoft flight simulator, giving him his first taste of flight. As time progressed, he developed his passion for flying.

“I would spend hours on it,” Marsala says. “I’d have my parents and brother behind me in the office and act like my passengers. They couldn’t stand more than 30 minutes of being there.

“Then it would be just me in the room. It’s so realistic, and it’s in real time. I would take off from Chicago and fly across the Atlantic Ocean, put it on autopilot and set the alarm for Spain. I had a couch in the office, where I’d sleep. I’d wake up and pick up where I left off and turn autopilot off.”

When he entered high school, Marsala thought maybe he wasn’t smart enough to be a pilot. He was indecisive, until he

went on a tour of a flight school at Deer Valley Airport.

“I saw I could learn to fly in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, at Deer Valley Airport, so I went out there,” Marsala says. “I fell in love.

The rest is history. I started taking flying lessons, doing my training and working on my commercial flight training. Right in the beginning of it, they diagnosed me with type-2 diabetes.”

The diagnosis came after he lost 10 pounds in a week, he was thirsty and urinated frequently. Marsala was devastated to be diagnosed with a chronic illness at 21. Ten to 11 months later, he started “feeling weird” again and was re-diagnosed as a type-1 diabetic.

“I didn’t fit the bill of a type-2 diabetic,” he says. “I was fairly fit and pretty young. That was the hardest day of my life, to go back on insulin, a career-ending drug.”

Not ready to give up

Marsala, who was licensed to instruct, was still determined to be a commercial pilot. The FAA allowed pilots with diabetes AUGUST 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

to obtain third-class medical certificates, enabling them to fly privately and flight instruct. But they can’t earn first- and second-class medical certificates required for commercial flying.

The FAA believed pilots with diabetes who suffered from severe high or low blood sugar during a flight would endanger the passengers and the aircraft. With continuous glucose monitoring technology from companies like Dexcom, users can see their blood glucose levels at any given moment and know if their levels are trending up or down so that they can proactively make educated treatment decisions.

A continuous glucose monitoring device is a small wearable technology that is placed on a person’s lower abdomen and automatically sends a user’s blood glucose levels to a receiver, smartphone or Apple Watch every 5 minutes. The Dexcom system also has built-in alerts that proactively notify patients and their family and friends before their blood glucose reaches potentially dangerous levels.

“It’s great because it sends to a cloud and I’m able to print these reports from my receiver,” he says. “It constantly records blood sugar.”

He and his friend decided to take a trip to Washington, D.C., in 2015, and while they were there, Marsala inquired with the FAA’s Dr. James DeVoll. He was turned away, so instead Marsala sent DeVoll an email. Surprisingly, he received a response.

“Two hours later, I received a response when I was at dinner that he’d like to meet me,” he recalls. “The next day, at noon, I went up there and I was overly excited to meet him. He said he didn’t have too much time, but we ended up talking for about an hour and a half.”

Marsala showed DeVoll he was stable in flight, and the FAA said they were going to consider type-1 diabetics on a case-bycase basis. However, no one had been certified yet.

“I was pleasantly aggressive,” he says. “I made an Excel spreadsheet to prove I’m stable in flight.”

On November 7, the FAA decided to allow pilots with insulin-

treated diabetes to apply to fly commercial airliners. The FAA’s reversal came after a series of lawsuits issued by the American Diabetes Association in partnership with diabetic pilots. Another factor that played a role in the FAA’s decision making is the advancement of medical technology.

Marsala sent records from a cardiologist, endocrinologist and optometrist, and he was certified in April.

“I knew we were close, but I didn’t know when it was going to come,” he says. “I was driving, and my watch goes off. It was an email from the FAA. I thought, ‘Holy cow. This is it.’ It required a password, so I did that, and I scrolled to the bottom—not even reading the whole thing. It said I was first-class medical certified.

“Eight long years. I didn’t give myself a chance to enjoy the moment. I immediately called my doctor, thanking him and still crying at the time. I thanked him for believing in me and trusting me. He changed my life forever. He said, ‘If I didn’t shed a tear when I sent out that email, I would have been lying.’ I knew it meant a lot to him as well.”

Now comes the task of looking for a job in the time of COVID19, when many flights are grounded.

“I hope things pick up pretty quickly,” he says. “There’s so much uncertainty around the whole industry, but the biggest obstacle is over.” 

Flying into TOWN Jet Aviation plans to land in the Airpark in Q1

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski et Aviation’s David Best says moving into the Scottsdale Jet Center ticks all the boxes in the company’s growth strategy.

“We’re excited to come into Scottsdale Airpark,” says Best, the senior vice president, regional operations, United States.

“It’s the No. 12 location in the United States for business aviation. It absolutely fits our strategy of being in the top locations.”

With an expanding footprint in the United States, Scottsdale Jet Center allows Jet Aviation to continue its strategy of supporting customers in the locations they most frequent. The new facility will allow Jet Aviation to operate fixed-based operators in eight of the top 15 U.S. business aviation markets.

“We are committed to growing Jet Aviation’s position as a leading FBO service provider,” Best says. “Scottsdale is a highly attractive location to business jet owners

and operators and is regularly ranked in the top 15 U.S. airports. Having a presence in Scottsdale will enable our customers to have greater connectivity across the Jet network.”

In May 2019, Jet Aviation announced it acquired a stake in Scottsdale Jet Center, with the intent to build and operate a new, state-of-the-art FBO and tenant hangar by

24 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

late 2020. The new facility will complement existing tenant facilities at Scottsdale Airport.

Scottsdale Jet Center leases 45,000 square feet of office space, 24,000 square feet of T-hangar space, tie-down spaces and shades. Jet Aviation is building an FBO terminal and 30,000-square-foot hangar is underway, with opening planned for late 2020. Thereafter, Jet Aviation plans additional phases of development to support growing customer demand.

Once opened in first quarter 2021, Scottsdale Jet Center FBO will bring Jet Aviation’s global FBO network up to 35 locations. A

subsidiary of General Dynamics, Jet Aviation was founded in Switzerland in 1967 and is one of the leading business aviation services companies in the world.

“Jet Aviation has a long heritage in the industry,” he says. “We pride ourselves on service and the longevity in the business.

We have a full suite of services. We do long-form and have strong partnerships with the airports in which we operate.

We really do pride ourselves on personal customer service.”

More than 4,000 employees cater to client needs from close to 50 facilities throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia-

Pacific and The Americas The company provides maintenance, completions and refurbishment, engineering, FBO and fuel services, along with aircraft management, charter services and personnel services.

Jet Aviation’s European and U.S. aircraft management and charter divisions jointly operate a fleet of some 300 aircraft.

They join FBOs Signature Flight Support and Ross Aviation.

“For this particular site in Scottsdale, we’re focused on the FBO side and the storage of the aircraft,” says Best, who’s based in Teterboro, New Jersey.

“Scottsdale’s a great area. It’s a super

place. Once we get this finished, we will keep reviewing the site to see if we need more space and hangars. We invest and grow in our facilities.”

The first phase will include a 29,000-square-foot hangar, an 8,400-squarefoot terminal building and other amenities, Best says.

“The project will include landside parking for the facility, landscaping, fueling systems for aircraft, customer terminal facilities with hold room, rental car operations, catering and support facilities, ramp parking for aircraft and storage hangar,” according to the submission from Dallasbased architectural firm Mead & Hunt.

Two additional hangars will be added in Phase 2 and 3, according to the lease agreement.

“I think the whole market is quite transparent,” Best says. “We have a bunch of customers who will use us and our fleet. Scottsdale’s a popular destination.

It’s another attractive bit when you get into the events season in the first quarter of the year.” 

Post-Pandemic

Advice

What’s next for commercial real estate in Scottsdale

By Andrea Davis, CCIM

A

s Scottsdale slowly begins to open its businesses, one question remains top of mind for business owners: What’s next for the commercial real estate market? Nationally, there have been several news sources that talk about how dismal the CRE market will be for the foreseeable future. According to Costar, “The nation’s average vacancy rate is currently 10%, a figure CoStar expects will steadily climb through mid-2023.”

While tourism and the entertainment industry have been hit hard, Scottsdale has seen diversification in our business sectors.

Take for example the Cure Corridor, which focuses on health and bioscience; the McDowell Corridor, which is tech savvy; Old Town Scottsdale’s entertainment sector; and the Airpark, which houses most of our industrial.

These areas, and others in Scottsdale, are going strong. Vacancy rates in all of Scottsdale’s commercial real estate sectors were at an all-time low prior to pandemic.

ADRCRE believes Arizona as a whole will continue to sustain manageable vacancy rates in office and industrial post-pandemic for these reasons: 1. Spec office space is minimal in Scottsdale.

Much of the construction is spoken for such as Nationwide’s campus at Hayden and Loop 101.

2. Some companies will discover they need more space due to the “new norm”

3. Other companies may seek to sublet their office, and sublease space will increase for the short term.

4. Call centers will either split shifts or expand their footprint if cubicles are too close for employee personal comfort or CDC recommendations. During the transition period, sneeze shields and upgraded filtering systems could be put in place.

Life is driven by purpose

5. Businesses that need additional space will absorb space that other companies release to the landlord. Smaller business with individual offices may not feel any change in the work environment other than government-mandated health signs in the workplace.

6. Rental rates may equalize. Landlords with no debt, lower debt or agreeable lenders will do what is necessary to keep their buildings at high occupancy. They’ll offer incentives to attract renters. This will cause a domino effect on office rental rates as landlords compete for tenants. Like we saw in the Great Recession, landlords with inflexible lenders will not be able to adjust to these new rental rates and will probably lose their buildings.

7. For flexible tenants, this presents a good time for companies to negotiate an advantageous lease. Already landlords are open to shorter term leases if minimal upfront capital is required from the landlord.

8. Working from home doesn’t work for every company and has shortcomings. Synergy and creative inspiration are two of the big drawbacks. Humans desire the company of others and need a break from the home routine.

9. Many businesses who need office and industrial space are on “hold.” It feels the pent-up demand for space will be absorbed quickly, further reducing office choices for renters.

“As we wait to see what happens next, I suspect Scottsdale will come out of the pandemic above other major cities for reasons including our geographic location, our “dry heat,” plethora of land for development, low building footprints, and nationwide stats that show we managed the outbreak well.”

As we wait to see what happens next, I suspect Scottsdale will come out of the pandemic above other major cities for reasons including our geographic location, our “dry heat,” plethora of land for development, low building footprints, and nationwide stats that show we managed the outbreak well.

It’s important that companies use this time to focus on the next “pandemic.” Those companies who create a plan now with workspace, renegotiated rent terms and a readiness plan will come out ahead down the road. 

Licensed naturopathic doctor Dr. Alissia Zenhausern loves putting patients back in the “driver’s seat of their own health.” (Photo by Pablo Robles)

‘Dr. Zen’ Physician uses modern and natural medicine to transform patients’ lives

A

By Kamala Kirk t NMD Wellness of Scottsdale, licensed naturopathic doctor Dr. Alissia Zenhausern is dedicated to educating, inspiring and empowering patients to take control of their health the natural way.

Also known as “Dr. Zen,” she focuses on figuring out the root cause of a person’s health issues and combines modern and natural medicine to create customized treatment plans.

“When I was a student at the University of Arizona, I volunteered at a local hospital and helped with the American Cancer Society, where I spent time with a lot of cancer patients in the infusion room,” Zenhausern says.

“During that time, I learned a lot about bedside manner. While undergoing treatment, many patients would ask what they could do to improve the quality of their lives through things like diet and exercise, but there weren’t any resources for them.

I thought there had to be some type of middle ground, so that’s when I decided that natural medicine was the direction I wanted to go in.”

From a young age, Zenhausern knew she wanted to be a doctor. Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, she moved to

28 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

the United States when she was a child, but the European views of wellness had a long-lasting impact on her.

“In Switzerland, natural medicine plays an important role, which offered an interesting perspective and is the reason why I went into natural versus traditional medicine,” Zenhausern says.

“It’s nice to get back to those roots. I’m licensed as a primary care physician and can do things like run bloodwork and prescribe medication, but I also choose a more natural approach. I understand both worlds and bring them together, which helps patients feel more comfortable.

When I opened my practice, I wanted to modernize natural medicine, which has grown so much over the years. We’re bringing a new edge to the field.”

Before opening her private practice at the age of 26, Zenhausern completed her undergraduate study at the University of Arizona, where she double majored in French and physiology. Afterward, she attended the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine—a leading medical school in Tempe dedicated to a comprehensive approach to natural health and nutrition.

Zenhausern specializes in post-partum, pre-conception, hormones and fertility issues. Her services include helping patients balance their hormones, treating thyroid issues and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and testing for food sensitivities.

“I’m seeing more younger patients that are interested in fertility and hormone health,” Zenhausern shares. “They’re questioning being on birth control and what it does to their general health and fertility. These days, more people in their 20s and 30s are struggling with fertility issues. PCOS is the No. 1 cause of female infertility, so when patients come to me for that, I do a lot of work to help them get their hormones in order so they’ll be good to go when they are ready to have a baby. I also educate patients and offer guidance when they are taking supplements.”

Prior to COVID-19, Zenhausern was already practicing telemedicine, and she continues to provide virtual services to patients as well.

“It’s nice to be able to have that option for patients, because it’s so convenient,” Zenhausern says. “With telehealth, we can do everything from the initial consultation to follow-up visits. Different tests can be shipped to them to take at home, along with supplements and medication.

Zenhausern offers complimentary 15-minute consultations for prospective

patients, during which they can ask any questions they want. When meeting with a patient for the first time in person, Zenhausern spends an hour with them to get a comprehensive look at their lifestyle and discuss symptoms and concerns to create a customized treatment plan.

“I love that I get to put the patient back in the driver’s seat of their own health,” Zenhausern says. “I give them the tools to make the decisions that are right for them, which is very empowering. Of course, I love seeing them when they come to my office, but I’m giving them these tools so they don’t have to go to the doctor all the time. My fertility patients feel like they’re part of the whole process instead of waiting for things to happen for them and struggling in silence. It’s nice to bring awareness to a bigger group of people, educate more women, be supportive, make a difference and see happy babies enter the world.” 

By Brian Louwers n unquestionably stressful times, air travel is certainly no exception. But charter-for-hire private jet provider Set Jet has teamed up with The CORE Institute to offer at least some peace of mind for its member passengers, air crews and ground employees as necessary flights continue despite the coronavirus pandemic.

The Scottsdale-based private jet charter company is offering free COVID-19 antibody testing for its members prior to flights. The program also calls for pilots, cabin crew members, maintenance personnel and customer service representatives to be tested regularly.

“While most, if not all, other operators are experiencing a significant decline, we seem to be flat; and we may even be starting to see an increase in revenue, which under the circumstances is pretty extraordinary,” Set Jet Chief Operating Officer Trey Smith says.

Set Jet CEO Tom Smith says the company’s “fanatically clean private terminal,” its member lounge and specially configured Challenger 850 cabins with 13 to 15 seats offered a “much better” option than commercial airlines or even other “high-capacity semi-private operators.”

“Now, with Set Jet’s employee and preflight COVID-19 Member Testing Program, there is not a safer way to fly anywhere in

the world during these challenging times,” Tom Smith says.

In a release announcing its COVID-19 antibody testing program, Set Jet spotlighted a 100% dispatch rate with flights launched since late last year, with no flights canceled despite the already-growing COVID19 pandemic. The testing program looks to continue that service and minimize the risk of exposure to the novel coronavirus, according to the company.

Enhanced sterilization and cleaning procedures for its aircraft and facilities, using hospital-grade disinfectant, were announced previously.

The on-site antibody testing for members and employees is provided by Arizonabased The CORE Institute. The tests will be conducted just prior to flight and offer confidential results in 10 to 15 minutes.

“It’s best not to travel right now, but for those who absolutely need to get to any of the destinations we serve, we have taken significant steps to minimize our members’ risk of exposure,” Tom Smith adds. “We are

proud to be the first to offer the tests and provide peace of mind to our members. We have received overwhelming appreciation and praise for taking the initiative and doing whatever we can to protect our members and their loved ones from the coronavirus while traveling.”

Launched in Scottsdale in 2004, Set Jet’s concept has expanded into neighboring regional markets including Los Angeles and Orange County, San Diego and Las Vegas. The privately held company recently completed its headquarters, private terminal and member lounge at the Scottsdale Airport.

he Black Lives Matter movement has not only sparked conversations and protests, but it has driven home the importance of supporting Black-owned restaurants like Airparkbased Sugar Jam Bake Shop & Bistro.

“I have a place where it’s not about the color of your skin,” founder Dana Dumas says. “I have a place where hatred is left somewhere else. It doesn’t come into Sugar Jam. Discrimination doesn’t come into Sugar Jam. It is a place of harmony.

It is a place where you feel at home.

It’s a place where people can gain new friendships, bring a loved one.”

Located on Redfield Road, Sugar Jam offers freshly prepared homemade Southern foods and baked goods.

The restaurant’s expansive menu includes comfort foods such as catfish and fried chicken dinners; fried chicken and waffles; shrimp and catfish po’boys; pulled pork with mac and cheese; savory scones topped with applewood pulled pork; salmon croquettes and grits; smoked brisket and biscuits; creole shrimp and grits; biscuits and gravy;

applewood pulled pork sandwiches; collard greens; cowboy beans; candied yams and Parisian-style French toast sandwiches.

Patrons can also try sweet treats such as jam-filled cookies, scones, pies, cobblers and pastries.

Among the most popular items on the bakery side are the cherry, caramel apple and bourbon pecan pies, as well as chocolate chip, sea salt caramel toffee and jam-filled cookies.

Family tradition

Dumas comes from a long line of

cooks and bakers. Her great aunt was a trained pastry chef, and her grandparents owned two restaurants in New York City.

Growing up, she always looked forward to her grandmother’s cooking.

“I watched her cooking. She always had such great food, and I would always be so excited to go to grandma’s house,” Dumas says.

A former New Jersey ironworker, her father also was a talented cook. For a time, he was the lead chef at her restaurant and helped create the barbecue rubs and sauce, potato salad and barbecued baked beans.

“He taught me from the time that I was a little girl to really eat, to taste the food. You can then dissect what spices were used to recreate that meal,” Dumas says.

Her mother helped to foster in her a love of sweets. While growing up in New York, they tasted treats at various bakeries.

Dumas is continuing her family’s tradition, and many of the foods she serves are modified versions of those recipes.

Like many other restaurant owners, Dumas started on a much smaller scale and gradually expanded.

While living with her family in New Jersey, Dumas baked cookies for her friends, coworkers and family members while working for a New York fashion company.

After moving to Scottsdale in 2002, she worked for NASCAR and made cookies for holidays and special occasions. She also did interior designing on the side.

Following the birth of her twin boys, she left the corporate world to work for herself with the support of her husband, parents and in-laws, who also live in the Valley.

In December 2011, she sold three flavors of cookies at the Phoenix Public Market in Downtown Phoenix. She expanded on her offerings and locations.

Soon, the demand was so great that she could no longer operate out of her home.

This prompted her to move to a shared kitchen space and to hire another baker.

She was then able to do more events in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Mesa, Ahwatukee and Flagstaff.

“It was just diversifying myself and getting out there, with the help of my family to support me, watch the kids and allow me to really build on to my business,” Dumas says.

In September 2014, she opened the restaurant in North Scottsdale. Two months later, she started selling cookies, scones, muffins and light sandwiches out of a bakery trailer during off hours.

The schedule became tiring, so she expanded her restaurants to offer weekend brunches and savory items three years later.

“As I was growing my customer base and keeping them intrigued, I kept evolving my menu. … I think my dedicated customers have loved watching me grow.

I have twin boys. They are 10 years old. I launched this company when they were

1. The Sugar Jam brand itself is 9 years old and store is 6 years old. It’s like my little girl.”

Dumas says being open to change has allowed her to succeed in her business.

“The metamorphosis of the business comes with being innovative, watching market trends, not being a trend, standing on your own two feet to know what will really call out to your customers and also gain new customers,” Dumas says.

Challenging occupation

Owning a restaurant hasn’t always been easy, especially during the COVID19 pandemic. To adapt to the times, she is offering takeout meals on Friday nights and Saturdays and Sundays.

Dumas says offering takeout helped her restaurant survive, but she had to lay off most of her employees. She was able to keep two cooks on staff, albeit with reduced hours.

“They stuck it out with me, and we were able to still provide some level of business. … That’s the hardest part is trying to navigate this balancing act of how you continue to survive when business is not as usual,” Dumas says.

Since reopening in May, Sugar Jam’s dining room hosts guests from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturdays and Sundays. It practices

social distancing, and Dumas rehired some of her employees.

The establishment is no longer open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and recently changed its menu to include more comfort foods.

“I just went back to what I grew up with, what my grandmother and my dad cooked,” Dumas says.

On Friday evenings, Sugar Jam offers chef specials, such as crab cakes, jerked chicken, mojo shrimp, lemon caper chicken or seafood paella.

“People get really excited about it. It’s really something, and it’s fun for me. It’s fun for the chef. It keeps us on our toes,” Dumas says.

Dumas says for her, food has always been a way for her to connect with people since she was young.

“Food is a substance that can bond people together,” she says.

“You can build friendships and different types of relationships through food. Conversations are had over food.

It is a mechanism that can make you feel comfortable. It is an expressive art.” 

Stately Estate wines defined and demystified

By Alison Bailin Batz

ertainly, you’ve come across the term “farm-to-table” restaurants.

But what about farm to table as it relates to wine? If you’ve ever tried an “estate wine,” then you’ve—perhaps unknowingly—enjoyed what is, in many ways, a farm-to-table bottle more than any other varietal.

“When a wine has an estate designation, it means the wine has been crafted from grapes grown entirely from vineyards owned or managed by the winery directly,” says Michael Eddy, winemaker for Louis M. Martini Winery.

According to Eddy, while an estate wine does not necessarily mean it’s grown in one single vineyard, many single-vineyard wines are estate.

“Some bottles will say Estate Bottled on them,” Eddy says. “Those go even a step further, meaning the wine was not only grown in an estate vineyard within the same designated viticultural area as the winery, and it was fermented, aged and bottled there, too.”

Here are some great options: L’Ecole No. 41 2018 Luminesce Tangy, vivid and rich, this estate white dazzles with a bouquet of lemon zest, pear and lanolin.

Sips Upon tasting, notes of orange blossom and white peach tantalize the taste buds, before it finishes with a refreshing tartness. $21

2018 Biltmore Reserve Chardonnay Step into George Vanderbilt’s shoes and shower yourself with some of Biltmore Estate’s legendary hospitality with this lightly oaked chardonnay.

It is a treat for all the senses, starting with its classic straw color to its delicious flavors of honeysuckle, baked apple and vanilla. $24 2018 Balletto Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir The wine is full of contradictory forces: It’s weighty with a luscious midpalate but also surrounded by notable tannins and acidity that keep it focused, balanced and taut.

It has plenty of dark fruit, but it’s also layered with savory earth and spices. $29

34 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

2016 Melville Estate Pinot Noir Pale ruby in color, ripe and vivid aromatics of red raspberry, orange zest and rhubarb are the first flavors here, followed by savory notes of black tea,

eucalyptus, pomegranate, cherry and plum. $38

2017 Wilson Creek Meritage A stunning shade of garnet that looks as brilliant as the actual gemstone when pouring, expect robust character here. It is packed with aromas and flavors of dark red fruits, cedar and a hint of chocolate. $64.99

Cameron Hughes Wine Lot 693 2011 Barolo Sour cherry, sandalwood and tobacco leaf dominate the nose, with hints of truffles and leather. Earth, red fruit and firm tannins define the palate alongside balanced acidity. The finish is haloed by tar and terroir. $39 Hedges Family Estate 2016 Descendants Liegeois Dupont Syrah The worlds of sweet, savory, fruity and smoky collide here in the best way possible. Expect a hint of tart, followed by fruit, some graphite, toasted spices, crushed graham cracker and rosemary shortbread when you sip this stunner. $42 2018 Spear Estate Pinot Noir This wine starts with a bouquet of pomegranate, bramble fruit and candied rose petals on the nose.

Upon tasting, there are delightful hints of fresh strawberry, oolong tea and persimmon. $45 2016 Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir Bright aromas of black raspberry and Bing cherries dance across the palate in every sip here, slowing giving way to exuberant black cherry, raspberry and red fruits. There is then a warm spice and earthy elegance toward the mouthwatering finish. $52 2015 Edna Valley Vineyards Reserve Syrah Spice and dark fruit jump out of the bottle and tickle the nose upon opening. Blackberry and plum flavors then join well-defined notes of pepper and vanilla on the palate before finishing with dreamy layers of leather and spice. $55

2017 Pepper Bridge Winery Cabernet Sauvignon This seductive little sipper starts with the flavors of pronounced huckleberries and blackberry cobbler before giving way to dreamy subtle notes of leather and spice. $65

2018 Hahn SLH Pinot Noir This wine opens with complex aromas of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, with hints of toasty oak and white pepper.

On the palate it shows expressive flavors of ripe berries with slight notes of sage. $30

2017 Doffo Winery Malbec Aromas of strawberry and vanilla dance on the nose first. And then this ruby red showstopper explodes into a chorus of vanilla, coffee and tobacco on the tongue. Acidity brightens each sip, and there is a finessed finish. $69 2016 Robert Renzoni Vineyards Riserva Estate Barbera With a bottle so stunning, it’s hard to imagine the wine will live up to it. But, oh does it! Expect a dizzyingly delicious combination of tobacco and roasted cherries here, along with balanced pepper and berries in every spectacular sip. $85 2016 Louis M. Martini Winery Cypress Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon T h i s ro b u s t single-vineyard showstopper is the perfect union of bold b o y s e n b e r r y, cassis, cherry and redcurrant. Finished in toasted oak, there is a bed of soft, dusty tannins toward the finish and a luscious mouthfeel. $100 ď Ž

REMEMBER When

At the end of World War II, Scottsdale was still primarily a farming community with a small downtown, as this 1940s view shows. (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society)

World War II’s end launched Scottsdale’s modern era

S

By Joan Fudala

eventy-five years ago this month— August 15, 1945—World War II ended, and everything began to change in Scottsdale. Within five years, this dusty, laid-back farming outpost east of Phoenix became a popular tourist destination with arts, crafts, a shopping center, sought-after residential areas and, of course, “The West’s Most Western Town.”

Let’s look back to see how we were in 1945 and what began to evolve into the Scottsdale of 2020.  When the United States entered World War II after the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, Scottsdale youth and men were drafted, or they enlisted, in the U.S. armed services, and Scottsdale’s first female service members also joined. Sadly, at least 25 Scottsdalians lost their lives in the war, and more returned home with life-altering injuries.

American Legion Post 44 was renamed to honor the memory of Travis Sipe and Clayton Peterson; the newly formed (1946) VFW Post 3513 was named to honor Stanley Crews.  With 5,500 aviation cadets training at Thunderbird II Airfield (now the Scottsdale Airport/Airpark) and military assigned to the Papago POW internment camp in the Scottsdale area, thousands were introduced to the climate and opportunities available here.  During World War II, Scottsdale got its first multifamily dwelling. The federally funded

Thunderbird Homes on the northwest corner of Second Street and Marshall Way (now the site of Scottsdale’s Museum of the West) housed war industry workers and military families in one-story, wood-framed apartment buildings.  Despite the influx of war workers, Scottsdale remained a close-knit, unincorporated farming and ranching community during the war, as it had been since founding in 1888.

The population of the greater Scottsdale area hovered around 2,000. There were several churches (only the Old Mission Church still stands), Earl’s and Chew’s markets, Willmoth Appliance, a drug store, Cavalliere’s blacksmith shop, a U.S. post office on Brown Avenue, a pool hall, O’Malley Lumber Co., and a few other businesses that catered to farms and residents. With war service and rationing making tourism nearly impossible, area resorts and guest ranches like Kiami Lodge, Camelback Inn, Jokake Inn and Livingston’s Tourist Camp (site of today’s Appaloosa Library) became respites for R&R (rest and relaxation) or hosts of war bond and war relief fundraising events.  During and immediately after the war, there were three Scottsdale Unified School District facilities: Scottsdale Grammar School (now housing the Scottsdale Artists’ School), the Coronado School (now the Scottsdale Historical Museum) and Scottsdale High

36 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / AUGUST 2020

School (razed in 1992). Judson School was a private school in Paradise Valley; Brownmoor School for Girls opened in the former Ingleside Inn buildings in September 1945.  On May 8, 1945, the headlines of The Arizona Republic screamed “VE Day Is Proclaimed by Truman As Germany Quits,” while a front-page article said that a “quiet day (was) planned for city.” The newspaper reported local businesses would be closed and churches would hold services. Banner headlines in the August 15 (“VJ Day”) edition of The Arizona Republic announced, “Japs’ Surrender Ends Worst War; World Rejoices.”

Another article that day began with “This day signals the dawning of a new era for mankind, Gov. Osborn said yesterday in proclaiming a general VJ Day holiday throughout Arizona and ordering all state offices and departments to close.” Of Scottsdale’s two wartime military installations, Thunderbird II Airfield had already closed in October 1944, but Papago Prisoner of War Camp remained open, holding German Navy POWs who would soon be repatriated.  Led by Arizona’s Sen. Ernest McFarland, the U.S. Congress had passed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, commonly known as the GI Bill, preparing for the millions who would want education, training and housing as they returned from wartime service. After the war, veterans flocked to Scottsdale, armed

REMEMBER When with their new GI Bill housing and education benefits, and transformed the area from an unincorporated farm town to a booming tourism, arts and entrepreneurial center.  In 1947, Arizona State College (ASC) took over the former Thunderbird II Airfield facilities from the U.S. War Assets Administration to use as a technical training site. Many veterans received training at the Arizona State College Vocational School using their GI Bill benefits. Courses offered included mechanics, diesel and heavy equipment, car painting, body and fender work, automobile upholstery, furniture upholstery and repair, refrigeration and air conditioning, and welding. The college built a rodeo arena at the site for intercollegiate competitions. In June 1951, ASC closed its vocational school at the former Thunderbird II airfield, citing declining enrollment and distance from the main campus as factors in the decision. In 1953, the Arizona Conference-Seventh-day Adventists moved its Thunderbird Academy boarding and day school to the site, where it continues to operate today (although in new buildings).  After the war, with building supplies scarce and war surplus available at auction, some new residents lived in relocated, war-surplus Quonset huts (nicknamed “The Mushrooms”), homes built using discarded billboards and in new builds financed with GI Bill home loans.  From the late 1940s through the 1960s, Scottsdale experienced a dramatic increase in population—from new residents and the “Baby Boom”—creating demand for housing.

Former farms morphed into subdivisions.

In 1951, John Hall began building Hallcraft Homes in distinctive Western ranch style.

The federal government funded construction of Thunderbird Homes in 1943 to house war industry workers and military families. After the war, it became rental apartments in Downtown Scottsdale until dismantled in 1960 (today’s site of Museum of the West). (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society)

During the 1950s, Hall was building as many as 100 homes a week in Scottsdale. With their patios, barbecues and pools, Hallcraft Homes helped shift community life from front porches to backyards. Single-family homes were designed for a new lifestyle: indoor, air-conditioned comfort; attached garages or carports; and backyards for leisure activities.

When Motorola opened its Government Electronic Division on McDowell Road in 1957, Scottsdale was developing neighborhoods populated with new homes, streets, schools and retail. Several of those midcentury modern housing areas—Town & Country, Village Grove and Villa Monterey—are listed on Scottsdale’s Historic Register.  Gasoline and fuel oil rationing ended August 19, 1945, and, slowly but surely,

tourists began to vacation in Scottsdale. The advent of air conditioning in the 1940s also gave Valley of the Sun tourism a boost, as did the popularity of wartime Western movies. Existing resorts and guest ranches were joined by new ones—such as the Paradise Inn (1944/45), Casa Blanca Inn (1946), Elizabeth Arden’s Maine Chance (1946), Hermosa Inn (1947), Royal Palms Inn (1948) and the Ride-n-Rock Ranch (1949). Most were seasonally operated; by the mid-1950s and the opening of the Hotel Valley Ho and Safari Hotel, Scottsdale became a year-round visitor destination.  In February 1946, the Arizona Craftsmen center opened on the southwest corner of Brown Avenue and Main Street, the former Brown’s General Store and ice plant, then owned by Tom Darlington and K.T. Palmer.

In 1947, Main Street, looking east from Scottsdale Road to Brown Avenue, was a mix of shops and a tavern or two. (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society)

REMEMBER When It debuted with craftsman Wes Segner (silversmith), Lloyd Kiva (leathercrafts/fashions), Phillips Sanderson (art in wood), Lew Davis (artist), Mathilde Schaefer (ceramics/pottery), George “Doc” Cavalliere (ornamental ironwork), Peggy & Horace Smith (Indian gifts and arts) and Bertram Grassby (consulting decorator). The crafts center immediately drew crowds of residents and tourists as well as media attention. Weeks after opening former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited, bought hand-crafted items, and featured the Arizona Craftsmen in her nationally syndicated “My Day” column, putting Scottsdale on the map as an up-and-coming arts and crafts destination. Other artists and craftspeople opened up studios throughout Downtown Scottsdale during the late 1940s through early 1960s.  With new residents and visitors, demand for retail, entertainment and services increased. New businesses opened throughout Scottsdale’s downtown area, from clothing stores like Saba’s (1948) to Scottsdale Plumbing (1946), Russ Lyon Realty (1947), Ping’s Tavern (1947/8, later renamed the Pink Pony), the Spur Café (1949), Pack Rat Shop (1947), Sun Valley Pool (1947), Pioneer Drug Store (1947), Land O’ Sun Printery (1948), Rural Fire (1948), Vic & Eddie’s (1948), Swick’s Clothing

(1948), the Scottsdale Progress (1948), the T-Bar-T movie theater (1948), Ingleside Turf Club (1948), Lute’s Pharmacy (1949), Motorola on 56th Street (1949), Bank of Douglass (1949), Buck Saunders’ Trading Post art gallery (1949), Segners’ Craft Village, the Village Patio Shops on Main Street … and many more.  To promote the image of Scottsdale as a desirable tourism destination, merchant (and former Thunderbird II Airfield flight instructor) Malcolm White coined the slogan “Scottsdale: The West’s Most Western Town” in 1947. Adopted by the then-new Scottsdale

Chamber of Commerce, it was used in ads, on signs and as a motivator for shop owners to reconfigure their storefronts in a Western motif.  Ed and Ruth Tweed joined the growing number of Arabian horse owners/breeders when they established BruSally Ranch north of Scottsdale. The McCormicks and others would join together in the mid-1950s to create the Arabian Horse Show, a Scottsdale signature event since 1956. Horse events were popular in post-war Scottsdale.

REMEMBER When Rodeo in 1949; the annual Community Chest welfare drive began with a horse parade, and nationally famous rodeo trick rider Dick Griffith delighted his local neighbors as he jumped a car astride two horses.  Some of the former Camp Papago POW internment facilities were converted into a U.S. Veterans Administration hospital, which was dedicated June 18, 1946. This was a temporary site until the VA’s new facility was built at Seventh Street and Indian School Road in 1951. When the hospital and POW camp were dismantled, buildings were auctioned off and “repurposed”— one became the administration building for the new Phoenix Zoo; several others were moved to Scottsdale/ Thomas roads and used as part of a motel complex (Lantron Court). Still another became the Downtown Scottsdale office for Dick Searles Realty.  Since founding, Scottsdale had always been a tight-knit community, with neighbors helping neighbors and those who needed a hand up in tough times. In 1945, however, there were only a few “formal” organizations—the American Legion Post 44, Garden Club, PTA, 4-H Club, Red Cross, and church and youth groups. As GIs returned and started families, and more people moved to Scottsdale, organizations flourished, meeting the needs of a yet-to-be-incorporated town.

The Kiwanis formed in 1946; the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce in 1947. The March of Dimes Mother’s Marches helped raise funds for polio treatment, research and prevention.

The VFW Post 3513 formed in 1946. A Boys Club began in 1949. Members of the PTA and Women’s Club operated a volunteer library, which opened and closed several times until 1955, when it became a permanent Scottsdale Public Library.

miles. The former Thunderbird II Airfield is now the Scottsdale Airport and Airpark, one of the top three employment centers in Arizona.  Scottsdale’s significant health care industry is a nod to the post-war VA hospital in Papago Park. Arts and culture thrive, evolving from the Arizona Craftsmen of 1946.

Tourism and hospitality employ thousands and create over a billion dollars annually in economic impact, a tribute to the rebirth of tourism in the 1945 to 1949 era. The children and grandchildren of World War II veterans (and those who served on the home front) have continued the tradition of serving their country and their community.  Scottsdale honors its World War II heritage with several memorials. At the Scottsdale Airports Business Aviation Center, an authentic PT-17 Stearman, like the ones flown by aviation cadets there in World War II, is on permanent display. The late Scottsdale civic leader Zina Kuhn, a naturalized U.S. citizen who served in the Polish Army during World War II, led the effort to restore Arizona’s Gratitude Train Car, on display at the McCormickStillman Railroad Park since 1989.

The boxcar was one of 49 filled with Bob Evans opened the Paradise Inn resort in 1944/45, a “sister” property gifts from the residents of France to the Jokake Inn (near the site of to thank residents in each state in today’s Phoenician Resort). (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society) the United States for their postWorld War II generosity toward the French people during their war recovery. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister McKenzie King signed the Ogdensburg Treaty while aboard the Roald Amundsen Pullman Car in New York in 1940. It assured that both nations would come to each other’s defense. The car has been at the railroad park since 1940.

The Arizona Military Museum in Papago Park has a display of the former POW camp as well as other World War II exhibits. 

 The impact of Tom Brokaw’s “Greatest Generation” on Scottsdale was profound, with veterans-turned-civic-leaders too numerous to mention. Just a few examples would include: Army Air Corps pilot Bill Arthur was considered the “father of the Scottsdale Airport and Airpark” and a life-long civic leader; Lloyd Kiva (Navy), Wes Segner (Navy) and George Cavalliere (Army Air Corps) started the Arizona Craftsmen Center that launched Scottsdale as an arts and crafts center; Dr. A.E. Carpenter, an Army chaplain, was a long-time administrator of then-Scottsdale Baptist Hospital (now HonorHealth); Guy Stillman (Navy) created the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park; Tuskegee Airman Lincoln Ragsdale was a leader of the area’s civic rights movement; Womens Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) Betty Blake gave countless talks to civic and youth groups about aviation; and U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Frank Sackton was an ASU leader and informal consultant to several Scottsdale mayors.  In the 75 years since the end of World War II, Scottsdale has grown to an incorporated (1951) city of about 262,000 on 84.5 square

ADVICE fromWeiss AUGUST 2020 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA ARIES 3/21-4/20 Welcome to this “Comedy of Errors” month. The sun in the “drama” sign of Leo will prove true, but for you, Aries, it can work to your advantage. Mars (the planet of action) will remain in your sign for the next six months, motivating you to take action. You’ll come up with innovative ideas, contacts and deleting what did not work. Planets going retro does not slow you down, but it does require patience. It is what you do with this energy that comes back to roost in January.

Look forward to the new moon on the August 26 to announce an opportunity!

Personal power days: August 8 and August 9 TAURUS 4/21-5/20 Unlike Aries, you can cope more easily with playing “the waiting game.” With five planets going retro (backward), a reversal of sorts occurs in the month ahead that seems to offer confusing issues—the virus spike, school openings, banking, small businesses closing, stock market, not to mention the current political situation, prior to the elections and lies. We are out of the Cardinal Eclipse seasons, where money and comfort took a priority. Now it is science, technology and knowledge. It’s time to brush up on your skills. Learn something new and don’t spend. You can start to move forward by August 20.

Person power days: August 10, August 11 and August 12 GEMINI 5/21-6/20 Political parties are strongly marketing themselves, so why aren’t you? Readers in retail or small business are facing a challenging month. The early New Moon on the August 3 brings a reality check and options to form partnerships. We are all living in the time of drastic change this month (August 3 to August 19). Your ability to and willingness to adjust is this month’s gift to you. Keep the flow of communication going.

Personal power days: August 13 and August 14 CANCER 6/21-7/22 Do a bit of celebrating, as the last two or more years of eclipses in your sign has departed and brings a change of lifestyle.

The United States is also changing. What was cancer will not return. You don’t mind being “homebound.” If you are a working parent, the concern about “schooling” may not be settled. August’s altering planets improves your personal life.

Personal power days: August 15 and August 16 LEO 7/23-8/21 Happy Birthday, Leo. In spite of the number of crises we are facing this month, you can do a bit of self-indulging. Stick to your plans to do fun things. Difficult situations will improve between August 1 and August 19 or can be put on hold until the fall. Your energy level—and confidence—is high this month. Set that new goal into action on the new moon, August 19, and follow through.

Personal power days: August 17 and August 18 VIRGO 8/22-9/23 Be prepared to put in long hours this month. Virgos who are financial professionals or clerical workers should be extra prudent this month. Those not in the business might spend money on family needs the first 20 days of August. It requires a little self-care and preplanning, though, August 21 to August 31.

Personal power days: August 19 and August 20 LIBRA 9/24-10/23 You need to make progress with your goals in spite of conflicting answers. Workers may face changes in our daily routines. Everything matters. Our lives are being rewired. You can survive. You handle compromise well. Circle the first two weeks for connecting with people who are well informed. Change may not happen fast, giving you time to pick up new tools August 18 to August 31.

Personal power days: August 21 and August 22 SCORPIO 10/24-11/22 It’s time to plan how to handle the world’s crises. Any restrictions you may encounter—as in finances, debts, investments, insurance, joint obligations, etc.—can be a life refresher.

All delays in the weeks ahead can be divine.

It depends on how you choose to respond.

Finances are spotlighted by August 16.

Personal power days: August 23, August 24 and August 25 SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 From now on, everything matters. You can’t fight science, nor should you ignore the opportunities to seek out a new job or types of employment in the weeks ahead. Expand your knowledge through higher education or the internet. With a little help from Mars, the month can be quite favorable.

Personal power days: August 26 and August 27 CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 In August, you’ll be concerned with work struggles, with planets reversing directions.

Those who are employed may make mistakes by acting first and thinking later. Finances might be unstable until the late-month cash flow. The eighth month is a sobering time of events and limitations for all of us. We have to cut our losses and take off in a new direction.

Personal power days: August 1, August 2, August 28 and August 29 AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 The start of the month requires a compromise. Things will improve toward the end of the month. If you are into high tech or any humanitarian/social work, you are on safe ground; careers are headed that way in 2021.

Put your feelers out there and get digital world training. It’s never too late to learn.

Personal power days: August 3, August 4, August 30, August 31 PISCES 2/19-3/20 Many Pisces are in the medical field or work in a related industry or services. You’ll be in demand, but there will be a certain amount of sacrifice. For single working parents, the insecurities of leaving home and sending children to school is difficult. Children count more. Accept spiritual support.

Expect medical breakthrough as the month comes to an end. A message to all: Wear a mask!

Personal power days: August 5, August 6, August 7 
