espite a slight setback created by the pandemic in 2020, the number of short-term rentals in Scottsdale continues to grow. There were 5,404 short-term rentals in the city in December 2021 listed by Airbnb and

Vrbo, according to AirDNA, an independent agency that montors the short-term rental industry. That’s up from 4,119 in December 2020 and 5,221 in December 2019. “It looks like the dip was almost straight after the onset of the pandemic, and more properties came back online in spring of 2021 as bookings picked up again,” said AirDNA spokeswoman Madeleine Parkin.

Planting hope

“One thing to bear in mind is that supply in short-term rentals is much more flexible than in the hotel world,” Parkin continued. “Property managers can choose to take their property offline one month, for personal use or longer-term rents, perhaps, and then return to short-term rental when the market is more

Spring Training start remains up in the air BY J. GRABER Progress Staff Writer SPENCER GUSTAFSON Cronkite News

pring training is officially postponed until at least March 5 and maybe longer if nothing materializes from a meeting between the Major League Baseball owners and the players union tomorrow, Feb. 28. Team owners have locked out the players until a new labor contract can be reached and the MLB said only five days remain to salvage the March 31 openers and a full season, telling players games would be canceled if a labor contract is not reached tomorrow. After the third straight day of negotiations with little movement, MLB went public with what it had told the union on Feb. 12. “A deadline is a deadline. Missed games are missed games. Salary will not be paid for those games,” an MLB spokesman told the Associated Press last Wednesday. The impasse means a major economic engine in Scottsdale, and across the Valley, is sitting idle. The Cactus League, with its 15 teams in 10 facilities, generates around $650 million annually, according to Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Stanton. Pitchers and catchers had been scheduled to report in the Valley around Feb. 15, so at least three weeks of spring training have been lost for sure. “The delay, any delay, is going to be a ripple effect,” Stanton said, noting that 32.5% of all Cactus League visitors stayed in town three to four nights. Bars and restaurants, hotels, car rental outlets, even grocery stores will all feel the pinch from the empty ballparks, Stanton said, adding, “It goes all the way to the employees at the stadiums.” Noting March “Arizona is the biggest month of the year,” Jeff Barbera, general manager of RnR Gastropub is feeling the pain already. “It has definitely impacted us as a restaurant and the bar industry,” Barbera said.

It might be a while before the crack of bats can be heard at Scottsdale Stadium, where the San Francisco Giants haven’t been since last spring. (Special to the Progress)

His gastropub sits just down the road from Scottsdale Stadium, the San Francisco Giants’ home during spring training. It is a popular spot for fans to go before, during and after the games. But if there are no games, who’s going to go? “If we don’t have a spring training season, or it’s limited, it will impact the amount of traffic we generate from those games,” Barbera said. Even in 2020, when the season was shortened by COVID-19, the Cactus League created over 3,000 jobs. “In 2020, when the season was cut short, that impact was $364 million. Needless to say, Spring Training is an important part of Scottsdale’s economy,” said Scottsdale Economic Department Marketing Manager Kirsten Hushagen. In 2018, widely considered the last “normal” year of the Cactus League, spring training generated $644.2 million across all of Arizona, according to an economic impact report by the W.P Carey School of Business at ASU. “It’s a tremendous driver of tourism, which is a huge driver of the state’s economy,” said Bridget Binsbacher, executive director of the Cactus League. Stephanie Pressler, spokeswoman for the Experience Scottsdale tourism agency, said local hotels are not reporting a lot of cancellations yet. “People are still coming for what Scottsdale has to offer beyond the diamond as well,” Pressler said. For instance, bookings for meetings

are up, though she noted it won’t be until April when anyone can assess the full impact of a shortened spring training – if there is any impact. “This year, many Scottsdale hotels and resorts are reporting strong occupancy numbers, many the highest since the pandemic, thanks to events like Barrett-Jackson, the WM Open and the Arabian Horse Show,” Hushagen said “Without Spring Training, these numbers could decrease; however, unlike the year 2020, Scottsdale’s hospitality industry is fully open,” Hushagen continued. “Coupling that with Scottsdale’s beautiful weather and a variety of activities and events, we expect many visitors in Scottsdale in the coming months. The Scottsdale Charros host spring training, along with the city and the Giants, in Scottsdale. Half the money they raise goes to about 50 different local charities while the other half goes to scholarships for students graduating from the Scottsdale Unified School District. For instance, the Charros have scholarships for students studying to be teachers and first responders as well as money for kids going to community college. “We normally raise, after expenses, about a million dollars but we’ve lost about 25 percent of the season,” Scottsdale Charros Executive Director Den-

Scottsdale Uni�ied dodges $17M budget bullet BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

cottsdale Unified School District dodged a $27 million budget bullet last week after the state Senate joined the House in waiving the voterapproved constitutional cap on K-12 spending. The move, which is good for just the balance of this school year, will prevent cuts estimated at more than $1.1 billion between now and June 30, or about 16 percent of each school district’s current spending. That included a projected $17 million cut by SUSD. The Feb. 21 Senate vote just days before the March 1 deadline for lawmakers to act. The House had previously approved waiving the cap last week on a 45-14 margin; The Senate voted 23-6 to approve. Earlier this month, Scottsdale Rep. Joseph Chaplik joined 13 Republican colleagues in voting against the measure. Though Chaplik made no statement on

Scottsdale Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita last week ripped public schools before joining ﬁve of her Republican colleagues in a losing ﬁght against waiving the school spending cap. (Arizona Legislature)

his vote against lifting the crippling cap, Ugenti-Rita decried waiving the cap and allowing schools to spend the money. “They have injected our kids with fear and anxiety,’’ she said, accusing schools of politicizing COVID and stating that all schools want to talk about is the need for more money. “Money isn’t going to fix it because money’s not the problem,’’ she said. An “We’re capitulating to educational extremists who are holding our kids hostage,’’ Ugenti-Rita complained. And she said that parents aren’t asking for more cash. “What they’re talking about is the bureaucratic-educational machine taking advantage of children -- abusing them, in my opinion -- not listening to parents, and continuing to do the same thing they’ve always done: complain about money,’’ Ugenti-Rita said. “And the only way we’re going to fix the problem is when we realize we don’t have a money problem.’’ The measure, now having gotten the necessary two-thirds vote of each cham-

ber, takes effect immediately, as Gov. Doug Ducey gets no say in the matter and deflected all questions about what he thought of the move. Senate President Karen Fann, RPrescott, chided unnamed individuals who “were basically bullying and threatening some of our members. “This is not acceptable,’’ she said. “This is not the way we do things here.’’ And Fann insisted, despite being just days ahead of the deadline, that it had always been the intention to act – and to get the necessary votes. “Our job is to make sure the kids stay in school,’’ she continued. “They’ve lost enough education already by being withheld because of COVID and other things.’’ But while all 14 Senate Democrats voted for the measure, Fann was unable to corral the votes of just seven of the 16 Republicans. Six showed up to vote against it while Sen. Kelly Townsend, RApache Junction, who already had said

314-unit complex gets city design board OK BY J. GRABER Progress Staff Writer

he city Design and Review Board has unanimously given the green light to a 314-unit apartment complex on 5.7 acres near the intersection of N. Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 Pima Freeway. However, the project – named “Streetlights” after developer Streetlights Residential’s – is only the next phase in a much larger development called One Scottsdale. That project began in 2002 and is still five to 10 years away from completion, depending on market forces, according to Michael Burke, DMB senior vice president for commercial development. DMB is the master developer of the One Scottsdale project. When finished, One Scottsdale will have 1,182 apartments, 188 condominiums, 400 hotel rooms and 2.8 million square feet of office and retail space. As it currently stands, 750 multi-family

Hayden and Osborn roads, which council approved 5-2 on Feb. 8. But after much discussion, Council voted to deny a second continuance and began deliberating on the rezoning. However just before the vote, it did not look like Riggs had enough votes for approval so Jones requested Mayor David Ortega pull it from the agenda. That means Riggs must start all over with the city approval process if he decides to take a second shot at it. The city Planning Commission and Design Review Board both will need to consider the project before it goes back to Council. But Jones is not certain Riggs will want to go that route. “We haven’t made that decision yet,” Jones said Wednesday. The Planning Commission originally voted 4-3 to recommend approval last September and the Design Review Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval earlier that month. Riggs had made several last-minute changes to the project that were submitted just hours before the council meeting, including reducing the number of apart-

units have been built along with 325,000 square feet of office space. Additionally, a 130-room hotel is currently under construction. The 120-acre site was zoned for the project back in 2002. That was amended several times, most recently in 2016, so it

does not need approval from the Planning Commission or City Council. Only the Design Review Board need give approval for the individual stages, such as Streetlights, as they are built. DMB paid $20 million in street and infrastructure improvements before anything

ment units from 285 to 273, scaling back the fourth floor of the building to make it less visible from the street and reducing the square footage from 318,900 to 308,000. Those changes upset a number of council members because they were made at the last second. “We don’t do that to city councils; we don’t bring something forward minutes before (a vote),” Ortega said. But the timing of the changes was the exact reason a second a continuance should be granted, argued Vice Mayor Tammy Caputi and Council-

woman Linda Milhaven. “I think some of the reasons my colleagues are not going to approve a continuation is the very reason why we need a continuation,” Milhaven said. “This council should not move forward without the property home owners association’s approval of this project. “It’s absolutely necessary. I don’t think they’re going to be persuaded or not based on the action we take tonight, which is why I don’t think we should take any action without their approval,” Millhaven said. “My understanding was they did ap-

prove the change in use to residential,” she continued. “Their concerns were about how tall the building was in certain parts of the parcel, how far back from the road it was. They have been very specific and very clear about what they wanted to see in terms of heights and setbacks and masking of the building. If the applicant were to comply with that, it may well get an approval. So the continuance gives them time to revise the site plan and meet the home owners association requests.” Jaime Uhrich, the president of the McCormick Ranch Home Owners’ Association in which 92 Ironwood sits, stated the HOA didn’t object to the rezoning but only to the architecture – such as the height of the building and its density. “We did say we will approve a change in use and we would approve of development standards that need to be changed in order for this to happen,” Uhrich said. Caputi echoed Milhaven’s sentiment. “I’m just sitting up here feeling more and more uncomfortable,” she said. “We’re always told were not supposed to negotiate from the dais and that’s sort of what we’re

doing now … We’ve been given so much information that’s new it’s hard to make a good decision. If we’re forced to make a decision, yes or no, it’s probably not going to be the right decision.” Ortega opposed the project’s density. Councilwoman Betty Janik listed six reasons why she did not support the continuance. “Number one, you had ample time to get approval from the McCormick Ranch HOA,” she said. “Number two, I question the traffic study significantly. … Additionally, and this is extremely important, a review of the traffic and accident rates shows this area is one of the busiest in the city.” The third reason was the plan includes a change in zoning for adjacent property Riggs does not own. “I object to this backdoor maneuvering,” she said. She said Riggs told the McCormick Ranch HOA members the entire council supported the project. “You do not speak for me, this is not acceptable,” Janik said. Fifth, the shopping center adjacent to the property is thriving, “unlike the Greenbelt 88, which was facing the shutdown of

the big box stores.” Finally, she said the residents in the area are strongly against the project. Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield said, “Ever since this project was proposed months ago the neighbors who would be most impacted by it have made it crystal clear that they are opposed to it and judging from our mail over the last few days, they still are. Not only are they opposed to this particular project; they are opposed to the precedence it sets for future

dense projects along the Shea corridor.” Littlefield echoed Janik’s concerns over the traffic the project would generate and added “(Riggs) is basically asking us for our approval so he can continue to pressure the McCormick Ranch HOA board to act against their own rules and what they see as their own best interest.” Councilman Tom Durham said he was originally prepared to vote for a continuance.

“I think the applicant in any project is always entitled to give us their best shot,” Durham said. But then he noticed Riggs’ proposal does not include a development agreement enforcing Riggs’ promise of rental rate discounts for firefighters, nurses, police officers, and teachers and even include one free unit for a police officer. He also promised discounted rates for anyone working within a mile of the apartment building. “Without a development agreement, those are meaningless … since we don’t have one, I do question the appropriateness of presenting this project without the necessary conditions that are necessary to go forward with this project,” Durham said. Jones said Riggs intended to incorporate those promises in an operating agreement with whatever company signs on to run the project. Putting those stipulations in a development agreement makes the city liable for enforcing them, which is something Riggs and his team figured the city would not want. Jones added he would be glad to provide a development agreement instead if the continuance was granted.

she was opposed, missed Monday’s vote. At issue is a 1980 voter-approved constitutional amendment which capped spending at then-current levels, with annual adjustments for inflation and student growth. The Arizona Constitution does allow lawmakers to approve waivers. And they have done that twice in the past. This year, the failure of lawmakers to exempt some other previously voter-approved K-12 spending from the cap, coupled with a decline in last year’s enrollment due to COVID, put the limit at more than $1.1 billion in excess of the budgets already approved by lawmakers. Sen. Vince Leach, R-Tucson, said he actually attempted to get a permanent fix for the cap two years ago. But that, he said, was sidelined by the COVID outbreak. Since then, he said, the political climate has changed, at least in part because parents had to deal with schools that closed during the pandemic. But that, Leach said, is not all. “Parents all of a sudden started recognizing what was being taught to their children,’’ he said. “And I don’t know what was more problematic: the fact that they weren’t in school or they were being taught.’’ Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, who also voted against the waiver, complained that the education community does not give Republicans the credit for the things the legislature has done. The result, he said, is that education funding makes up half the $12.8 billion state budget, saying that is lost in “the lie from the educational-industrial complex and the shame-stream media.’’ His Exhibit No. 1 is the 20% pay raise for teachers approved by the Republican-controlled legislature in 2018. But Senate Minority Leader Rebecca Rios, D-Phoenix, said this wasn’t anything the Republicans actually wanted to do. In fact, she pointed out, Ducey’s own budget for that year had proposed just a 1% pay hike. It was only after educators descended on the Capitol, Rios said, that lawmakers and the governor relented. Other Republicans who until now had refused to commit to waiving the limit

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY AND CHRONIC PAIN WARNING! Our clinic is taking every precaution and we follow strict CDC guidelines to ensure that our patients, clinic and staff are SAFE! Mesa, AZ — The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your chronic pain and/or neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects. Chronic pain and/or peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 95% nerve damage there is hope!

Fig. 2

NOTE: Once you have sustained 95% nerve loss, there is likely nothing that we can do for you. 3) How much treatment will your condition require?

Aspen Medical will do a chronic pain and neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage as a public service to you and/or your family and friends. This neuropathy/ pain severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of your neuropathy.

The treatment that is provided at Aspen Medical has three main goals. 1) Increase blood flow 2) Stimulate and increase small fiber nerves 3) Decrease brain-based pain The treatment to increase blood flow, stimulate small nerve fibers and get you back to health is our new $50,000.00 SANEXAS UNIT!

As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Mesa that offers you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (See the special neuropathy severity examination at the end of this article) In order to effectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined. 1) What is the underlying cause? 2) How much nerve damage has been sustained.

In addition, we use a state-of-the-art diagnostics like the TM Flow diagnostic unit to accurately determine the increase in blood flow and a small skin biopsy to accurately determine the increase in small nerve fibers! The Sanexas electric cell signaling system delivers energy to the affected area of your body at varying wavelengths, including both low-frequency and middle-frequency signals. It also uses amplitude modulated (AM) and frequency modulated (FM) signaling. During a treatment session, the Sanexas system automatically changes to simultaneously deliver AM and FM electric cell signal energy. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT SANEXAS IS COVERED BY MEDICARE AND MOST INSURANCE! Depending on your coverage, your treatment could be little to no cost to you! The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be

profitable – for example, in the high season, if that’s summer or winter.” Airbnb and Expedia Group released new data on the economic impact of short-term rentals in Arizona, showing the industry is big business in the state. Short-term rentals generated 75,543 jobs in Arizona alone. That translated into $6.57 billion in economic impact. Tax revenue was a little over $538 million. In Maricopa County those numbers were 41,134 jobs, almost $3.58 billion in economic impact and just shy of $307 million in tax revenue. AirDNA’s annual report tracking shortterm rentals shows homes sprawled out throughout the city, though the vast majority are located in south Scottsdale. Of the total in Scottsdale, 5,021 rentals were for entire homes, 298 for private rooms and two were for shared rooms, with 40% of all rentals listed on Airbnb, 24% listed on Vrbo, and 36% listed on both. In terms of the size of those rentals, 2% were studios, 8% one-bedroom, 26% twobedrooms, 21% three-bedrooms, 20% four-bedrooms and 13% had five or more bedrooms. The vast majority included heating and cooling, a washer and a kitchen, though only 66% had a dryer. Pools were available in 64% of the rentals and hot tubs in 33%. The least likely amenity was cable television, available in only 28% of the homes. A one-night minimum stay was required in 22% of the homes while 29% required two nights, 19% had a three-night minimum, 10% four to six nights, and 8% anywhere up to 29 nights. A minimum of 30 nights was required in 12%. The average daily rate was $292, with March seeing the highest average rates at $321 and September the lowest at $268. Average occupancy rate was 68% with March again being the most popular with an 84% occupancy and the lowest in September at 60%. The average per-rental revenue was $3,708 with March ranking the highest

tial unauthorized parties while promoting safe and responsible travel. Most prominently, in 2020 Airbnb announced a new policy that restricts guests under 25 without a history of positive reviews from booking entire home listings in their local area under certain circumstances. These guests are still allowed to book private room listings where generally the host lives on site. In 2021, this “Under-25” anti-party policy blocked or redirected approximately 11,000 people in Arizona from making local entire home bookings. Additionally, certain times of the year are more likely to encourage attempts to throw unauthorized parties. To help enforce its party policy during events like the 4th of July, Halloween and New Year’s Eve, Airbnb introduced new rules to strengthen hosts’ protection against unauthorized parties over those weekThe purple in this map represents homes in Scottsdale ends. that are used as short-term rentals. (Courtesy of AirDNA) The anchor of this plan for these weekends was a ban on one-night bookings at $4,984 and the January the lowest at in entire home listings for guests without $2,919. Meanwhile, Airbnb released year-end a history of positive reviews. That impacted over 3,200 people on the data outlining its efforts to try to combat and stop unauthorized parties in Arizona 4th of July, over 2,100 people on Halloween and over 2,900 people on New Year’s Eve. throughout 2021. “The great majority of guests treat their In the summer of 2020, Airbnb took action to ban parties on its platform as part of hosts’ homes and neighbors with the utits mission to prioritize public health in the most respect,” Airbnb said in a statement. early days of the pandemic as well as to try “These initiatives are about trying to find to prevent community disruption and wild the needles in the haystacks and stop potentially disruptive parties in service to our parties. To help enforce its party ban, the com- hosts and neighbors.” Scottsdale passed two laws in 2021 depany rolled out a number of strategies aimed at trying to block and stop poten- signed to curb abuses by short-term renters.

The first ordinance requires each property’s emergency contact to respond in person to the site within one hour for emergencies if police have to respond for complaints about unruly gatherings. The second ordinance sets fines at the maximum amounts allowed under state law. For example, it creates a sliding scale of fines of $750, $1,500, $2,000 and $2,5000 (the maximum allowed under state law) for owners and $250, $500, $1,000 and $2,000 for occupants based on the number of prior violations. It also eliminates the police service fee provisions of the city’s nuisance party and unruly gathering ordinances and replaces it with civil sanctions through citations filed in City Court. Officials said that will improve enforceability, including the possibility of filing criminal charges against someone defined as a habitual offender. Paradise Valley recently passed a law requiring all short-term rental owners to do background checks to ensure no clients are registered sex offenders. Scottsdale’s revised code states, “No vacation rental or short-term rental may be used for any non-residential use or purpose including but not limited to any of the following ... housing sex offenders.” “So, it is illegal to use a short-term rental to house sex offenders in Scottsdale,” said Scottsdale Assistant City Manager Brent Stockwell. Although the state Legislature has loosened its grip on the regulation of shortterm rentals by returning some of the power to municipalities that it stripped from them in 2016, some lawmakers have introduced bills in the current session to get the state completely out of regulating them and return that power to municipalities. That effort has split the Republican delegation, as Chandler Sen. J.D. Mesnard submitting a weaker bill that would return only a few powers. The issue has been divisive in past legislative sessions, with many short-term rental owners appearing to testify against any efforts to curb their ability to use their property in any way they see fit.

Independent audit clears SUSD board member BY J. GRABER Progress Staff Writer

cottsdale Unified School District Governing Board member Jann-Michael Greenburg did not use district resources to create, maintain or modify his father’s infamous dossier on political enemies, according to an independent forensic investigation paid for by the district. The report by Loehrs Forensics also cleared fellow board members Zach Lindsay and Julie Cienowski and Superintendent Dr. Scott Menzel of suggestions they improperly using district resources to create, maintain or modify the dossier. “Using specialized forensic software, a byte for byte search was executed throughout the SUSD email server and SUSD-issued personal devices for any activity related to the Google Drive folder of interest … as a result of these searches, it is my expert opinion that no forensic evidence exists to support allegations that the email server or the personal devices

year standing in the community that the investigation was conducted by a credible, outside, independent forensics expert. The district takes very seriously its responsibility to follow the law and to be a good steward of public funds.” Scottsdale police also investigated the dossier that reportedly contained information like mortgage information, divorce filings and pictures of SUSD parents and their children and found no wrongdoing either. “The results of these investigations are welcome, but work remains,” JannMichael Greenburg said. “The right to due process and to be treated innocent until proven guilty are values that have been enshrined in our constitution since our nation’s founding. “These are also rights afforded to our staff and students. I have put forward policy revisions that ensure board members are afforded the same basic rights and cannot be punished based on false allegations that have not been investigated. To quote Dr. King, ‘An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’” Kim Stafford, one of the SUSD parents whose information was reportedly in the dossier, said the investigation “reveals nothing that gets us closer to the truth of what happened and seems only to be an attempt to distance SUSD from the Greenburg dossier.” “The district’s myopically limited the definition of “district resources” to hardware (computers) provided to the named individuals,” Stafford said. “In this day and age, we use many devices to access systems - phones, tablets, even smart watches. In this day and age, who would claim their email system and server that the district owns, operates and/or maintains is not a district resource? “At issue for me is JM Greenburg’s inappropriate usage of the SUSD email system (a SUSD resource) to print my unredacted emails which included non-public information and that were intended only for SUSD official use to a non-SUSD Google drive that was accessible to non-district personnel including his father and parent Jennifer McDowell, among others. It doesn’t matter what device he used to access the system; it’s his inappropriate use of that system that should have been but

was not addressed.” Jann-Michael Greenburg was removed as SUSD Governing Board president shortly after the existence of the dossier were made public, but remained on the governing board. He originally intended to run for another term on the governing board but now says he will not seek reelection. “I will be pursuing a (masters of laws degree) in banking and financial law,” he said. In the meantime, Jann-Michael Greenburg’s father, Mark Greenburg, has filed a lawsuit against Amanda Wray and her husband Daniel Wray in both the Maricopa County Superior Court and the federal court. The suits claim, “Amanda routinely defamed and placed plaintiff in a false light since at least January 22, 2021.” Specifically, the suit in Superior Court claims Amanda Wray wrongly accused him of stalking, harassing and intimidating her. The suits say Wray accused Mark Greenburg of sitting behind her at a board meeting in order to intimidate her, took pictures of her and her children outside governing board meetings, harassed her by sending her messages in the middle of the night and even went as far as trying to intimidate someone by showing them a weapon. The suits says Wray also harassed him by accessing the dossier, which was intended for private use only, and sharing it with other people. “I have great faith in the legal system and I hope that the people that are responsible for this are held accountable,” Mark Greenburg said. Wray did not return the Progress’ phone call for comment. The suits accuse Wray of telling police officers loudly enough that others could hear that she did not feel safe with him around her as well as taking photographs of him and publishing them and his license plate number in a private Facebook group called “SUSD-CAN,” of which the suits describe Wray as the leader and administrator. The federal suit claims Amanda Wray did all this to get Jann-Michael Greenburg either recalled or voted out of office.

Then last year, the stadium was only allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity. That made deep cuts in the Charros pocket book, though they were able

said they agreed to go along after they received certain assurances. Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, said his big concern is a still-pending lawsuit over the legality of Proposition 208. That 2020 voter-approved measure sought to impose a 3.5% surcharge on the taxable income of individuals above $250,000 to raise more than $800 million for K-12 education. Only thing is, the Arizona Supreme Court said the levy cannot be imposed if the revenues would cause the state to exceed the spending cap -- the very

to keep their donations stable the last two years. “We saved and we had some other fund raising events that helped too,” Robbins said. But the surplus is spent and Robbins isn’t sure the Charros will be able to make their usual million dollar donation this year. “It all depends on how the spring training goes, it really does,” he said. Players have not accepted Monday as a deadline and have suggested any same cap at issue here. So the justices sent the case to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah to rule whether there was a legal way to raise and spend the money. Hannah has yet to rule. And Mesnard, who opposed Prop 208, said he feared that if lawmakers set a precedent this year the judge would use that to conclude that shows it is possible to collect the additional revenues. What changed his mind, Mesnard said, was assurances that Monday’s vote dealt only with the spending cap for the current school year. The issue before Hannah is what happens in the

Associate player representative and former Diamondbacks pitcher Max Scherzer took to Twitter to let the public know what is at the heart of the fight. “We want a system where threshold and penalties don’t function as caps, allows younger players to realize more of their market value, makes service time manipulation a thing of the past,

2022-2023 budget year. Sen. David Livingston, R-Peoria, said he agreed to go along because of the crunch, what with schools already having allocated the funds through the June 30 end of the fiscal year. But he warned colleagues that this doesn’t permanently solve the issue, saying that there already are indications that school spending for the coming fiscal year will exceed the spending cap by up to $1.8 billion. Fann, who is leaving the Senate at the end of this year, agreed that there needs to be something more permanent. “When this was set in 1980, we didn’t have Chrome tablets or whiteboards or any of the stuff we have now that teaches our kids,’’ Fann said. “We had school books and chalkboards and all kinds of things that didn’t cost near as much.’’

and eliminate tanking as a winning strategy,” he said. That was sent out on Feb. 4 and the needle hasn’t moved much since. Whether it’s the luxury tax threshold, or a salary floor to put more money in young players’ pockets, the two sides do not seem to be on the same page. All this means you might need to get your peanuts and Cracker Jacks fix somewhere else other than Giants Stadium this spring.

The focus, she said, should be not such much on artificial limits -- and having to revisit the waiver over and over again, but on the larger issue of what does it take to educate children. Right now, she noted, per-pupil funding is about $14,400 a year. That figure, however, includes all local, state and federal sources; state dollars total about $6,600. “Is that enough?’’ Fann said. “It might be in some districts, it may not be in other districts.’’ Rios said she is not apologetic for pushing for more funding, citing figures that show Arizona close to dead last in state funding. And she agreed with Fann that there needs to be a more permanent solution, calling the cap “an antiquated, arbitrary, outdated limit.’’

cottsdale Rep. John Kavanagh is among Republican lawmakers who are ready to use state funds to build a wall along the border with Mexico. The only question that remains is how much they’re willing to spend. On Wednesday the Senate voted 1612 to allocate $700 million to “administer and manage the construction of a physical border fence.’’ Only thing is, the critical 16th vote for SB 1032 came from Sen. Tyler Pace, R-Mesa. And he made it very clear that

while he supports the concept, he won’t vote for a final budget that includes an allocation that large. “That would be a misuse of state funds,’’ Pace said. So that, in turn, leaves the question of how much is acceptable. On Thursday, the House voted 31-28 for an identical bill but with just $150 million. “I would like to spend $700 million,’’ said Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, the sponsor of HB 2317. But he told Capitol Media Services that his years in the legislature – he was first

elected in 2006 – convinces him that it’s just not politically possible. Anyway, Kavanagh said, that $150 million would be enough to build about 20 miles of wall. And he said if it works out, lawmakers can approve more in future years. But even that may be too much for Gov. Doug Ducey whose budget includes only $50 million for “physical barriers’’ at the border. The debate about spending state money follows the decision by the Biden administration, shortly after taking office last year, to suspend further construction of the walls that were being built by his predecessor. Trump managed to erect about 450 miles of border barrier, much of which replaced existing barricades and fencing, including 226 miles in Arizona. And of what Trump planned, which did not cover the entire 372-mile border with Mexico, about 18 miles remained uncompleted. Since that time, the Department of Homeland Security has determined it will do some additional work. That,

according to the agency includes completing drainage projects to prevent flooding, disposing of materials not required to complete work and closing “small gaps that remain open from prior construction activities and remediating incomplete gates.’’ The exact locations for the projects, however, have not been identified, although the agency said some will be in Arizona. That leaves the question of what Arizona might do on its own -- and how much in tax dollars it is willing to spend. The governor, speaking to reporters Thursday, sidestepped a question of whether $700 million was too much. “We’re negotiating right now with the legislature on the physical barriers where Arizona can build that,’’ he said. “And I’m confident we’ll be able to get those resources.’’ Kavanagh said that any state dollars would have to be used on land already owned by the state. But he said they also could be used to build a wall on private property with the consent of the owners. That, however, still leaves vast sections of the state’s southern border

Road and the project’s eastern boundary. “These improvements resulted in allowing us to increase our entitlements in 2016 while reducing the traffic impact by 10.4% over the 2006 approvals,” Burke said. “The (traffic impact) report also notes that the signalized intersections showed improved levels of service when compared to the existing conditions.” Traffic signals have already been installed at Scottsdale Road and Henkel Way, and Scottsdale Road and Legacy Boulevard. A third traffic light is planned at Legacy Boulevard and 73 Street. The traffic impact study indicates One Scottsdale will generate 31,184 trips per week day, split evenly between trips into and out of One Scottsdale project and morning and evening hours. The Streetlights will be made up of studios as well as one-, two- and threebedroom apartments ranging in size from 530 square feet to 1,600 square feet. It will consist of a three-story and a fourstory building as well as a five and a halfstory parking garage that will be screened

without walls -- and beyond the reach of the state. That specifically includes the Tohono O’odham Reservation. Aside from the $50 million Ducey wants for barriers, his budget request also includes $25 million for the state Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. And state law allows that agency to use those dollar for preventing human trafficking and illegal entry, including administering and managing construction of a physical border fence. “I do think Arizona is going to do

everything it can in its power,’’ Ducey said about securing the border. “I don’t think any other state in the nation is doing more.’’ And he said it isn’t just about physical barriers. Ducey said the state is giving money to communities to enhance law enforcement and prosecution of those who are here illegally and violate other state laws. And the state has deployed deploy about 200 Guard soldiers to the border in support roles like monitoring surveillance cameras, analyzing data and providing administrative support to local law enforcement. The governor, however, has brushed aside a legal opinion issued by Attorney General Mark Brnovich that the actions of drug cartels and smugglers on the border constitute an “invasion’’ that allow him to use the Guard to “engage in war.’’ Brnovich, hoping to become the Republican nominee for US. Senate, said the state can defend itself when invaded. And he said that definition is broad enough to be applied to “invasion by hostile non-state actors such as cartels and gangs.’’

by the apartment buildings themselves. The garage will contain 503 parking spaces and there will be an additional 24 surface parking spaces for a total of 527 parking spaces. The architectural style of the development is broken into two distinct districts corresponding to the three-story building to the north and the four-story building to the south. The more elaborate Spanish Colonial Revival details and towers of the threestory building are inspired by Arizona architect Annie Graham Rockfellow’s 1928 El Conquistador hotel. The simplified massing of the four-story building is supposed to give it the character of a later addition. The distinct styles is supposed to break up the length of the building facades and will serve as the design precedent for the larger One Scottsdale project. There are no rental rates for the Streetlights apartments set yet, but Streetlights Senior Vice President of Development Greg Nadeau said they will be market-driven. The average one-bedroom apartment in Scottsdale

is $2,074 for 745 square feet, according to apartmentfinder.com. Construction is anticipated to begin in June and take 28 months until it is completed. Streetlights Residential has numerous urban infill projects with more than 13,000 multi-family units completed, in progress or projected in 11 cities across six states. This will be the first Streetlights project in Scottsdale, but the company is not new to the Valley. Streetlights have seven projects either built or in the construction phase in the Valley. That includes The Angela and the Ryan in Phoenix, the Cameron in Tempe and the Tyler in Gilbert. “We’re excited to be developing in the City of Scottsdale,” Nadeau said. Vice Mayor Tammy Caputi, whose last meeting as the Design Review Board chairwoman was Thursday, would not comment on the One Scottsdale project. Neither would she comment on whether she supports the Streetlights project other than to say “it meets the requirements” set out by the Design Review Board.

“I do think Arizona is going to do everything it can in its power,’’ Ducey said about securing the border. “I don’t think any other state in the nation is doing more.’’

AZ residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls ARIZONA - Once Arizona residents got wind that Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Arizona residents already have and you don’t want

to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Arizona residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Arizona who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Arizona residents

Arizona residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per AZ resident has been imposed

ARIZONA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Arizona residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we

won’t be surprised if thousands of Arizona residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Arizona residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Arizona you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Arizona residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Arizona residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Arizona and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS FACTS:

If you are a Arizona State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB4312

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Arizona State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Arizona residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Arizona residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

Arizona residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB4312 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Arizona State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Senate OKs $150M to lure moviemakers to state BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

rizona State lawmakers are moving to give away up to $150 million a year in hopes of luring the film industry to Arizona. SB 1708, approved Thursday by the Senate on a 21-7 vote, provides for tax credits to those who agree to produce and film productions in the state. Those credits would offset any taxes that the production company would pay while here. What is causing some heartburn, though, is that these would be refundable tax credits. That means producers actually could recoup more than they actually paid. “What you’re really doing is cutting a government check for Hollywood, people who are certainly out of touch with the average citizen,’’ said Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert. But Sen. David Gowan, R-Sierra Vista, said the credits are necessary to ensure that producers do not ignore Arizona when looking for locations.

Sen. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, D-Tucson, said that’s already happening. Consider, she said, “Only the Brave,’’ the 2017 movie about the deaths of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died while fighting the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire. As it turns out, she said, the movie, which had a budget of $38 million, was not shot here. “That is our story and that is our history,’’ she said. “It had to be filmed in New Mexico because it’s not economically feasible for them to shoot that film in our own state.’’ Only thing is, the record on such credits in Arizona is not good. A 2009 report by state commerce officials said the 2008 tax credits designed to lure Hollywood producers to Arizona actually cost the state $6.3 million that year. According to that study, the productions given credits generated 317 full-time jobs in the industry. Another 413 jobs were created indirectly by Arizona spending by filmmakers.. All totaled, the report said, that generated about $2.3 million in additional state and local taxes. But Arizona gave out more

than $8.6 million in credits to get that benefit. The state got rid of tax credits a decade ago. Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, called it “bad tax policy.’’ She told colleagues that nothing precludes movie producers from coming to the state now. “What they’re doing is leveraging you, leveraging the taxpayer,’’ Ugenti-Rita said. “They’re seeing what they can milk out of the taxpayer.’’ Gowan, however, said sometimes states like Arizona need to put a little money on the table to generate economic development. He said that’s how the state managed to land investments by Apple, Intel and Amazon. Petersen wasn’t buying the claim that the $150 million investment each year in the movie industry would be more than made up with the revenues from jobs that industry would create. “This is a totally bogus thing,’’ he said. “This is a shift from small business owners, people working their butts off, to super-

wealthy people.” Gowan, however, said that ignores the fact that when major producers come to town they spend money that ends up in the pockets of those small businesses. Sen. Christine Marsh, D-Phoenix, said she’s seen proof that films and TV shows generate tourism. For example, Marsh said she took her kids to New Orleans after seeing “Double Jeopardy,’’ the 1999 movie filmed in and around New Orleans “because it looked like such a cool city. And then there was a trip to San Francisco “because we used to like to watch the show ‘Charmed,’ ‘’ she said, the city where certain exterior shots were filmed. Sen. Lela Alston, D-Phoenix, told colleagues about watching the TV series “Yellowstone.’’ “On every episode it says, ‘Thanks to the Film Commission of Utah,’ ‘’ she said. And while it’s supposed to be about Montana, “it could have been filmed here in Arizona.’’ The measure now goes to the House.

Signs of climate change abound in Preserve BY FIONA L.Q. FLAHERTY Cronkite News

ohn Loleit has kept a watchful eye on the towering saguaros and wellworn trails of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve for 22 years. Loleit, the natural resources coordinator for Scottsdale, takes to the wilds of the 47-square-mile park almost every day in all weather, mending fences, leading hikes and training park employees and volunteers. He encourages visitors to use their powers of observation to look for clues about what’s happening to the environment around them from year to year. “I tell folks, pick out a saguaro cactus, and that’s your saguaro. Every time you pass by, just take a look at it. Look at the main trunk,” Loleit said. “Over a period of time, are you seeing that it’s thin, and its ribs are shrinking and losing water or then they’re opening up and fat if we’ve got rain?” Loleit has observed a lot of changes at the preserve over the decades, especially when it comes to the impact of high summer temperatures on the Sonoran Desert. And the latest summary of climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association predicts Arizona’s climate will continue to warm, leading to rising temperatures, more intense wildfires, and ongoing drought. The city hired Loleit – who had a 25-year career with the National Park Service – to open Pinnacle Peak Park in north Scottsdale in 2000. He has been a fixture at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve ever since. Loleit is familiar with the preserve’s seasonal ups and downs, but he has noticed changes. For instance, more saguaro arms that have fallen onto trails in recent years, and more saguaros that have toppled. “This past summer, I thought, ‘Oh man, even the native plants, they’re stressed.’ You could see it,” Loleit said. “They had dropped a lot of leaves, or the color had changed quite a bit. It didn’t look like they’re happy campers.”

John Loleit, natural resources coordinator for Scottsdale, relies on his powers of observation to see the effects of climate change in the Sonoran Desert. He encourages visitors to do the same. (Lynne Russell/McDowell Sonoran Preserve)

Is this a result of stress from climate change? Maybe, Loleit said. “We’re in a 20-plus-year drought,” Loleit said. “It’s ironic when I hear people say, ‘Oh yeah, we’ve been through droughts before.’ If we look at history in the Phoenix area 800 to a thousand years ago, the Hohokam culture built massive canal systems throughout this valley and were able to irrigate thousands of acres. But it still wasn’t enough, and they had to leave. “I just wonder if history will at some point repeat itself, and if we have enough time to change.” Loleit’s observations reflect the fact that Arizona’s average temperatures are increasing in line with global climate change. NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information released its 2022 State Climate Summaries for all 50 states in January. The 2022 Arizona State Climate Summary report details the newest temperature, precipitation and climate data in the state from 2017 to 2020, in addition to historical data. The report found that “temperatures in Arizona have risen 2.5 degrees (Fahrenheit) since the beginning of the 20th century … (and) historically un-

precedented increases in annual average temperature are projected during this century.” It also states that “the potential for more extended droughts in the future will pose a major challenge to Arizona’s environmental, agricultural and human systems. The risk of very large wildfires is projected to increase.” And the high variability of monsoon rainfall also is expected to continue. State climate summaries are all about the power of observation. As Arizona’s state climatologist and a senior lecturer at Arizona State University, Erinanne Saffell, contributed to the summary’s data. She also publishes monthly state summaries about Arizona’s climate. Climatology is about statistical representation of climate history, Saffell said, and the state summaries provide critical perspective that helps us to better understand what’s happening now. “They help us assess where we are, where we’ve been. And then from there, we can perhaps connect to where we might go.” Saffell said. At first glance, the findings of the NOAA summary don’t seem all that surprising: Over the course of the past

five years, Arizona got hotter and drier, and these trends are expected to continue. But there’s more to it than that, Saffell said. “When we look at our current assessments, it does tell us that we’re seeing more of the same things. But we also need to understand that things are changing, and at what level they are changing becomes important,” she said. According to the 2022 summary, “the number of extremely hot days (in Arizona) has been above average since 1995, with the highest number occurring during the 2015-2020 period.” 2020 was a particularly hot year, Saffell said, with the most days on record over 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 50 years. The NOAA summary also indicates that “the number of nights with a minimum temperature of 80°F or higher has been trending upward since 1995, also reaching a record high during the 2015 to 2020 period.” Saffell and other experts have been monitoring the minimum nighttime temperature data closely. “If we zoom in and we look at what’s happening in our metropolitan areas, we can see that urbanization produces a higher signature of climate change,” Saffell said. “The increase in temperatures in Phoenix in the last 50 or 60 years is much larger than the signature we see across the state.” Urbanization is the conversion of natural surfaces, such as shrubs and sand, into harder surfaces, like concrete and asphalt. These urban surfaces absorb heat during the day and then re-emit heat into the atmosphere at night, which raises summer nighttime temperatures. This is called the urban heat island effect. Extreme daytime temperatures make it harder for urban areas to cool off at night, which increases the likelihood of serious human health impacts, said David Hondula, who directs Phoenix’s new Office of Heat Response and Mitigation.

Tri-city softball tourney involves Scottsdale BY ZACH ALVIRA Progress Sports Editor

he City of Scottsdale has partnered with the town of Gilbert and Chandler to put on the firstever All-City Softball Tournament for adults in each community. The tournament, which will feature teams from the various recreational leagues already in place in each city, will be a single or double-elimination bracket with games played throughout the day on April 2. Jensen Valenzuela, tournament organizer and recreation coordinator for the city of Chandler, said a tournament of this caliber has been in the works for a few years between communities, but the timing never worked for other cities and their respective leagues and other events happening at parks. Now, however, they are proceeding with their plans. “It’s something cool we’ve been kind of brainstorming for a few years, and we are finally putting it in action to do,” Valenzuela said. “I’ve built relationships with coordinators with those respective cities. It will be a cool tournament to give all the recreation departments a little bragging rights.” The tournament is open to men 18 years and older with a maximum of 15 players per roster.

Phoenix has seen a 430% increase in the number of heat-related deaths since 2014, Hondula said in a Feb. 2 presentation to a City Council subcommittee. A large percentage of those deaths are connected to the increase in the number of unsheltered people downtown, Hondula said. “Those individuals are on the front lines of risk when it comes to summer heat,” he said. “Anything we can do to provide simple measures that can keep people cool, safe and alive this coming summer will be a big priority.” The human body is extremely receptive to changes in heat, Hondula said,

Chandler is partnering with Gilbert and Scottsdale to kick off the inaugural All-City Softball Tournament, which will feature a single or double-elimination bracket for teams in each city made up of men 18 years and older. Games will be played at Snedigar Sportsplex in Chandler, Freestone Park in Gilbert and Vista del Camino Recreation Center in Scottsdale. (File Photo)

each team is currently $300 until Feb. 28. After that, the price will increase to $350 per team. The tournament will feature an opening day ceremony beginning at 9 a.m. April 2. Pool play will then begin and run until about noon. At that time, Valenzuela said teams will take a break for lunch and to prepare to

travel from field to field for the elimination bracket. Games will be played at Snedigar Sportsplex in Chandler, Freestone Park in Gilbert and Vista del Camino Recreation Center in Scottsdale. The top teams from each city will advance to the citywide tournament where a champion will be crowned at Snedigar.

and people experiencing heat-related illnesses are the true experts, feeling and observing the changes from year to year. Understanding changes in precipitation is a little more complicated. The 2022 summary indicated that “the 2020 monsoon season was the driest on record, with only 1.5 inches of precipitation, well below the previous record low.” The summary also predicted monsoon seasons in Arizona will continue to be highly variable. 2020, for example, was devastatingly dry, followed by 2021, which was one of the wettest years on record. Saffell said this “boom or bust” monsoon cycle is typical of living in a desert.

“When we look at our summer precipitation, we recognize some seasons will be wet, some will be dry,” Saffell said. “What we pay more attention to, is what happens with our winter precipitation because this is really important for our water supply.” The majority of Arizona’s water comes from groundwater that is recharged by winter precipitation, Saffell said. Scientists monitor snowpack in the upper and lower basins of the Colorado River, which is essential for recharging groundwater sources, Saffell said. Snowpack levels in the lower basin, which includes Arizona, are below average, even though 2021 brought a good amount of rain and snow, Saffell said.

Teams are guaranteed at least three games, regardless of whether they advance to the city-wide tournament. “I’m excited for it,” Valenzuela said. “I know some of the teams in our league are pretty good. So I’m hoping they can win it for Chandler to give us some bragging rights.” While the players have a chance to compete for bragging rights on the field, off of it spectators can expect a host of food trucks, giveaways and music – creating a family-friendly and enjoyable atmosphere for all involved. Valenzuela believes this will be a unique way to bring some of the cities’ recreation sports teams together and open the door for more tournaments in the future. He also hopes other cities across the Valley will become involved, which will allow the tournament to blossom into something even bigger in the near future. “There are some things that we need to get ironed out, which is something we will do when if we run into bumps with this first season,” Velenzuela said. “We’re hoping we can expand it to other cities. Mesa was part of the initial discussions and Tempe said they are interested in getting involved next season as well.” For more information about the All-City Softball Tournament and to register, visit chandleraz.gov/ allcitysoftball.

But one wet event or one wet year does not point to a trend, Saffell said. “It’s important to understand the scale we’re dealing with,” she said. “When we’re looking at global-scale situations, it’s not necessarily what we’re seeing when we zoom into a state scale for precipitation. But what we’re seeing in Arizona is along the lines of what we’re seeing with changes globally for temperature in the last 100 years or so.” The continued extremes in temperature and prolonged droughts in Arizona are also seen at the global scale. The NOAA recently reported that 2021 was the sixth warmest year on record for the globe since precise, comprehensive record keeping began in 1880.

Bill would require teachers to betray kids’ con�idences BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

he state House voted 31-28 Thursday to require teachers to disclose to parents some of what their students tell them in confidence or risk being disciplined. HB 2161, approved on a party-line vote, would spell out in state law that teachers and other school employees “may not interfere with or usurp the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental health of their children.’’ What that includes is access to everything from attendance and counseling records to teacher and counselor evaluations and any email accounts. It also spells out that teachers cannot withhold or conceal information from parents about a student’s physical, emotional or mental health. And it would even be illegal to encourage or facilitate a student to keep that infor-

mation from a parent. All that, according to Rep. Steve Kaiser, R-Phoenix, is part of ensuring that parents know everything that is going on with their children. Lawmakers did agree to exempt situations where a student shows up at school with bruises and there are questions about whether he or she has been abused. But Rep. Kelli Butler, D-Paradise Valley, said that absolute requirement for disclosure of everything else is not a good idea. “We don’t understand what every family situation is like in the state,’’ she said. And Butler said there may be things that students don’t feel they can share with their parents but want to discuss with a teacher. “This would prevent that teacher from being able to provide help for that students,’’ she said. “And I think that’s really dangerous.’’ Kaiser had attempted to insert penalties against teachers who withhold

information, all the way up to the possibility of a finding of “unprofessional conduct,’’ a civil penalty of $1,000, and the possibility of suspension or dismissal. But he told Capitol Media Services Thursday he had to remove it to get the necessary votes. What is left is that the measure allows for teachers to be subject to discipline, though Kaiser said exactly what form that would take is not spelled out. Rep. Pamela Powers Hannley, D-Tucson, called the measure “vague, broad, duplicative and unnecessary.’’ “We should be fostering collaboration and not division in our schools,’’ she said. But Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction, said the objections are based on a flawed premise about the role of schools and teachers. “This bill just underscores that the parents have the ultimate responsibility for teaching a lot of what their children should be thinking about on

a lot of moral, ideological or spiritual items,’’ he said. More to the point, Fillmore said, teachers “have forgotten they’re there to teach.’’ “Teachers feel now that they’re psychologists, psychiatrists,’’ he continued. “The children are not the property of the state, the children are not the property of the teachers.’’ Kaiser had to do more than remove the penalties. To get the necessary support, he also took out language that would have required teachers to share with parents a student’s “purported gender identity or requested transition’’ if the child identifies in a way that is “incongruous with the student’s biological sex.’’ Foes said that would harm the ability of students with questions about sexual orientation who felt like they could not speak with their parents to get some answers or guidance from teachers. A final roll-call vote is necessary to send the measure to the Senate.

Fusion IV aims for that healthy feeling BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer

ric Fitch has always enthusiastic about holistic medicine but it was not until he contracted a bad case of COVID-19 that he began looking at infusion to get him back on his feet. “I was really struggling with the longterm symptoms like congestion, fatigue and body aches but when I did two treatments back-to-back, it seemed to bounce me back,” Fitch said. “I realized we could help people outside of the realm of the hospital to get them back on their feet.” Fitch started talking with Bettyjean Cabe, who gave him his IVs, and the two decided “we wanted to create something that was very community-based, healthoriented and gave people real results.” And so was born Fusion IV Health and Wellness in Northsight Crossings, just

has fewer restrictions on holistic medicine. “In other states, the medical director has to see the patient the �irst time either inperson or virtually,” Cabe said. “In Arizona, nurses can administer and follow protocols from a doctor of medicine. This works better for mobile nurses because the doctor gives the orders to the nurse but the MD doesn’t have to see the patient.” Fitch and Cabe wanted to create a professional and sterile environment for patients while providing infusions at clients’ homes as well. “The most important aspect to Bettyjean and I was partnering with a medical director that had the same vision for the brand and for the patients’ health and wellness,” Fitch said. The two met with Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh, who now serves as the medical director.

Old Town’s Buffalo Collection marks 10 years PROGRESS NEWS STAFF

Scottsdale retailer of Native American art and collectibles and luxury American buffalo leather furnishings is marking a decade in Old Town. Originally founded in Colorado, owners Michael and Laura Levenberg moved the Buffalo Collection to the corner of 5th Avenue and Goldwater Boulevard in 2011. “We were painting and putting the �inishing touches on the showroom on Christmas Eve,’ said Laura. The gallery opened in January 2012. The Levenbergs boast “a carefully curated collection that celebrates the spirit of the American West” at Buffalo Collection. With exclusive �ine art by world-re-

nowned contemporary artists like Robert Rivera and Dan Deuter as well as what they called “historically signi�icant pieces,” their gallery also offers “exquisite furniture pieces (that) are works of art in their own right, offering ultimate comfort and timeless design.” Sofas and chairs with richly �inished hardwoods and buffalo leather, are available in a wide variety Michael and Laura Levenberg opened Buffalo Collection of design styles and in Scottsdale in 2011. (Special to the Progress) leather colors.

The physical gallery space has grown with the collection, undergoing its �irst expansion near the end of 2012 and its second in 2017. Last December, the Levenbergs expanded the Buffalo Collection brand to include Buffalo Boutique, a specialty shop dedicated to Western and Native American-inspired fashion, �ine jewelry and home décor. Located near the �lagship art and furniture gallery, Buffalo Boutique focuses on the �ine details that �inish a look and a space. Stating they are “profoundly grateful to the community for supporting” their store, the Levenbergs said they are planning to schedule “an evening of mingling and merriment” at some point this year to celebrate their business’ anniversary.

“Once we established that relationship, we shifted our focus on only hiring the most professional staff we could get our hands on,” Fitch said. Although the state permits EMTs, medics and RNs to administer an IV, Fitch said, “We set ourselves apart by only hiring registered nurses who have a lot of ER experience.” With a solid plan in place, Fitch had to �ind a space for his business. “We thought centralized Scottsdale being close to the 101 would make it easy for people to �ind the location,” Fitch said. “We’re located in a really health-centric location next to a large gym and there are other health-centric businesses in the area.” Since Fusion IV opened last month, Fitch and Cabe have served a plethora of customers. “Our clientele is geared towards healthy people who want to be proactive,” Fitch said. “We see repeat customers who come in hung over, but they still do IV therapy on a more regular basis to stay up to date on their regular vitamin intake.” Fusion IV offers clients a menu of

“cocktails” that customers can choose from, depending on what they are feeling. “We only use compounded and boardcerti�ied pharmacies – most of whom are here in Arizona,” Cabe said. “We do everything from vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, B12, taurine and NAD and we can do this for a third of the cost compared to an ER visit.” While this has been effective for mothers, athletes, people who have hangovers

or deal with fatigue, other clients are people who have trouble taking vitamins orally. “If you struggle taking oral vitamins, IV therapy is a great solution because you don’t have to do this every day and you absorb more vitamins which gives you more bang for your buck,” Fitch said. This also allows people to absorb 100% of the vitamins, which usually does not happen with orally ingested vitamins.

“When people take oral vitamins, depending on the brand and your own body, you only absorb 20% to 30%,” Cabe said. Fusion IV also offers mobile nurse visits to client’s homes. “When people are not feeling well, it’s another appointment they have to get ready for and leave the house,” Cabe said. “It’s really convenient to be able to schedule when you need it and have someone come to your home,” Fitch added. Though Fitch calls IV therapy effective, he still encourages clients to exercise regularly, eat healthy and drink plenty of water. “It’s about being proactive,” he said. “That’s all that health really is, it’s about being proactive.” Overall, Fitch has noticed a global effort towards health recently and hopes to partner with nearby businesses for future events. “I think people’s approach to medicine and the way everyone has awakened to needing to change their lifestyles in a healthier way is happening everywhere but you can centralize it down to Scottsdale a lot,” he said.

Caputi: Greenbelt 88 approval was imperative BY VICE MAYOR TAMMY CAPUTI Progress Guest Writer

wo weeks ago, Scottsdale City Council sat in a neighborhood outreach meeting on the site of this project in a space that’s been vacant for eight years – in the middle of a failing retail center with two anchor stores that have both given notice. This site was originally zoned in 1974. The world has changed; No amount of wishful thinking is going to bring retail back to this plaza. It cannot be redeveloped

into a small strip center- it’s economically unfeasible. The laws of supply and demand are not suspended in Scottsdale. All we’re creating now is an empty space for the homeless to occupy. We have to activate this area – it has failed. The Greenbelt 88 project is the poster child of how our rigorous approval process works – and how projects get better with resident input. It’s been in process for over two years. There have been countless neighborhood outreach meetings, constant revisions, and multiple redrawn plans. Both the Design Review Board and Planning Commission have approved it. It aligns with the goals of our General Plan and the

South Scottsdale Character Area Plan and it’s in an opportunity corridor that encourages redevelopment, revitalization and a diversity of housing. Rejecting the project this far along means we have no faith in our process – and neither will any future investors. How many people could afford to hold a parcel vacant this long other than an owner of 18 years? The owner has addressed all the requests made from residents. Fair negotiation means everyone compromises, it can’t be all one-sided demands and continually moving the goal post. The main complaints from a few residents are that it will increase traf�ic, it’s too high, too dense, and they want retail not housing. These concerns have been addressed, but let’s look at the facts again. Studies show that traf�ic would be greatly reduced when compared with the traf�ic of a retail center. There would be a wider sidewalk and new access for more pedestrian activity. Our transportation department has concluded that Hayden Road from McKellips to Indian School is actually overbuilt- they’re recommending decreasing from 6 lanes to 4 because there’s excess capacity. (Note: This center is dying. We need more people here – that’s the whole problem!) The height has been reduced to 45’ and much of the 4th �loor has been eliminated, bringing the remaining height down to 36’ as originally zoned. There are no residen-

tial structures within hundreds of feet and no views are obstructed. The density has been reduced by 20% and open space has been increased 2.5 X. On the issue of water, our world class water department has reviewed the project and found resources to be more than adequate. We have a careful LT plan and a water savings account in Scottsdale. We recycle all our sewer returns, treat water to drinking standards, and return it to the aquifer for future use. Most important is the issue of housing. There is huge demand for housing of all types and not enough supply, which is driving up prices over 30% this year with no end in sight. We have the lowest level of housing stock ever, across all types and income levels. Housing in Scottsdale is becoming unaffordable for almost all of us. We have the most retail per capita of anywhere in the Valley, but multi-family housing is at 96% occupancy. We don’t need more retail. We desperately need more housing! Our population is getting increasingly older, families and employees can no longer live here. This is not sustainable. If you believe we’re here to make decisions that are best for our city, it’s imperative that we approve this project. It checks all the boxes for quality, thoughtful development, and resident input. I enthusiastically support this project. Voting in fear is not leadership, and we were elected to lead.

Sun Circuit Quarter Horse show promises thrills and pageantry BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer

ust days after Arabian equines today vacate WestWorld of Scottsdale, Quarter Horses will stride into the renowned venue for their own show. The 49th annual Sun Circuit Quarter Horse Show is building off the 2021 event, which had a reduced crowd but attracted a record number of vendors. “Last year, from an exhibitor stand-

point, was one of our biggest shows because a lot of shows had been canceled for a year and people were sick of being cooped up,” said Sun Circuit Quarter Horse Show spokesperson Kristen Spinning. “We anticipate this to be the same, if not bigger, this year.” Most of the events are divided into classes based on the skill levels of the riders and horses.

hat began as an epiphany over half a decade ago is set to become a reality on the trails that line Old Town. Mary Anne Fernandez-Herding was in La Jolla, California, for a dance conference in 2015 when she first witnessed people dancing in front of a trolley. She was so inspired by watching performers twirl and twist under bridges and in washes that she wanted to bring the concept to Arizona, particularly Scottsdale. “I could just picture the trolleys around downtown Scottsdale,” Fernandez-Herding recalled. “The thought of creating something smaller and more intimate in a comfortable environment like OldTown Scottsdale, it was a perfect fit.”

Fernandez-Herding later approached Jean Isaacs, Trolley Dances founder and former artistic director of the San Diego Dance Theater, and conveyed her enthusiasm for seeing the concept in Arizona. “The talent of the dancers, the creativity of using the spaces in the outdoor sites and having the dancers make performances specific to the sites was really exciting to me,” Fernandez-Herding said. “It made me feel like an array of possibilities could occur from that.” However, it was not until FernandezHerding was invited to bring her dance company The Movement Source Dance Company, which she co-directs, to perform as part of the San Diego Trolley Dances that she knew it was now or never to bring the concept to Arizona. Fernandez-Herding then approached the Scottsdale Center for the Perform-

socially distant while marveling at the ability of the competing horses, Spinning said. “This year we’re trying to push (the event) because it is a good familyfriendly activity that allows guests to be safe while at a distance,” Spinning said. “The competition is set up so that there are classes for the super elite but also for people who are starting out and we have everything from walk/ trot classes and basic classes to things for people who win world championships in these sports.” “Because of the diversity of the horses, there is a diversity of classes,” she said. “People can expect to see just about any kind of activity that someone will do with horses and find something that will interest them.” No matter the class that these riders or horses compete in, there remains a consistent level of competitiveness. “Our competitors are extremely competitive but this is also very community oriented,” Spinning said. “These people go all over the country and compete with each other but they form very intense friendships which they call their ‘horse show families.’” It also evidences how hard it is for these riders and horses to be on their A-game. “This is really about the horses,” Spinning said. “No person can be at 100% every day and no horse can be at 100% every day – which is the fun and the challenge of it.” This also displays the contrast between various breeds of steeds. “If people are interested in horses in general, it’s a great comparison to see the elegance and the showmanship of the Arabian horses and bring it back to our Arizona roots for what a horse does,” Spinning said. “They can do the fancy classes but then they can see what is typically seen around the state with the types of horses we have around here.” In addition to putting the talents of competing riders on display, this will be the first year that the show will feature a new event in the National Snaffle Bit Association’s “Heroes on Horses” – which encourages participation.

Waterfront hosting Persian New Year Festival BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer

fter last year’s festivities were scaled back like many other grand events, the Scottsdale Persian Festival is returning to scale at the Scottsdale Waterfront Saturday, March 5. The festival – celebrated by those who consider the spring equinox as their new year – will feature live music, food tastings, dancing and public art installations. “This is something that is not just celebrated by Persians,” said Lawdan Shojaee, festival co-founder. “Any cultures that recognize the equinox as its calendar celebrate this.” Shojaee sees a need for representing Persian culture in Scottsdale and the nation as a whole. “When you live in a diverse community, there’s always a lot of food, flavor, excitement and things to do,” she said. “When we were looking around, we didn’t see a good representation of the Persian culture as far as the New Year’s celebration goes and we thought this would be a fun way to do that.” Scottsdale is also one of the few places in

ing Arts. “Movement Source came to us after performing in the San Diego Trolley Dance and we figured that Scottsdale is the perfect place for this,” said Diandra Adamczyk, senior programming coordinator at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. “We have a trolley system already in place and some really cool locations around Old Town to explore along with a beautiful public art division that some of these dancers will be activating.” “We then pitched it to the City of Scottsdale and they felt that we would be some great people to help get this off the ground,” Adamczyk said. The next step was devising a route that showed off some of the city’s hidden gems and offered a unique backdrop for the on-site dancers. “We brainstormed some locations with Movement Source and asked the city for their input too,” Adamczyk said. “We took some trips out to the sites and got a feel for how dancers could activate certain spaces and what may be

the country to celebrate the holiday. “This is a great time of year in that we have a lot of people coming in from out of town,” Shojaee said. “But when we look nationwide, there is no other event that celebrates Persian New Year the way that we do.”

The festival generally attracts between 8,000 and 10,000 people and nearly 20% of visitors come from out of state — mainly from California. Shojaee is expecting a big crowed, noting, “We’re banking on events like BarrettJackson and the WM Phoenix Open, where

appealing for people who haven’t been to OldTown before.” “We thought that another dimension would be to find spots that are more unknown,” Fernandez-Herding adds.

The route begins at the Center for the Performing Arts, where the audience will convene at the south entrance of the facility before boarding “Ollie the Trolley.” From there, passengers will be trans-

there were so many people.” The festival also saw promotional videos on social media go viral. “In two videos we have posted went viral with the first one hitting over 200,000 views and the other had less but was still considered viral,” Shojaee said. Organizers have put together a starstudded lineup headlined by renowned performer Hengameh and producer/songwriter Ramin Zamani. Live music will be performed by Scottsdale’s own DJ Vahid Shad, Seattle-based No Band and a dance performance by Ballet Afsaneh. The event is also slated to be emceed by comedian Tehran and actor/comedian Leila Parnian. Music and dancing are not the only things that event attendees can expect. Also planned are an elaborate public art display along with vendors providing food and tea. Vendors include lavashak.com, which makes a fruity taffy, and Saffron Jack, which will be selling pizza crafted on stone-made bread. “It is a colorful experience with dancing and inviting music,” Shojaee said. “We have

ported to the Scottsdale Artists School, where Fernandez-Herding’s dancers will put on a performance on the grass in front of sculptures outside the site. The next performance comes from the Artists School in front of Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, where musician Drew Bollman will accompany a dance performance in front of the facility’s famous rustic metal sculpture. The tour then steers off the beaten path with the next dance location falling at a dome that was one of the stops the trolley originally made in OldTown. This stop will pay homage to Isaacs as her San Diego Dance Theater team will pull a piece out of its repertoire that fits with the space and gives spectators a taste of the Trolley Dances in California. Guests then will be transported to Michael Maglich’s Horseshoe Falls – which Fernandez-Herding insisted on placing on the route due to the piece’s unique timed steam features – where Jukebox Family dance will perform its own routine.

The tour will end near Sixth Street and Stetson Drive, where performers from Grupo Axé Capoeira will put on a unique martial arts performance. “These are fairly familiar spots if you’ve been around OldTown but we chose a circuit that would be convenient for the trolley, spots that were visually interesting and had a variety of looks and places,” Fernandez-Herding said. “Each group of people that gets off the trolley to see each site will have a different interaction with the performers and have a different response,” “I love the idea of bringing dance to the people rather than asking people to go to a theater,” Fernandez-Herding said. “I think this is a wonderful way to share the art of dance by having this out in the community and in cool spaces where people would be surprised to see it.” This also provides the dancers themselves with a unique opportunity to display their talents. “I love the site-specific aspect of this because your decisions are made for you as soon as you see the site and you know what you’re doing,” Isaacs said. “The val-

ue of sitework is that you bring people to the site and this is a great way to normalize the experience.” Added Adamczyk: “I think this may help make dance more accessible to people who may find it off putting or too serious to see in a traditional theater. I hope this attracts some nondance fans.”

a lot of art and this is one of the best ways to get exposed to the best that the Persian culture has to offer.” A portion of the festival’s proceeds will go to Kids Inspire Difference, a nonprofit founded and run by two local high school students that advocates for youth activism among social justice issues. “You get to see a little bit of philanthropy, lots and lots of art, connect with food and hear the language of the music,” Shojaee said. A top attraction is an art installation inspired by the tradition of Haft-sin, which marks the beginning of a new year and is celebrated by a display of items representing the changing of the seasons. “Just like a Christmas tree, Persians have a table that they put together that has a minimum of seven items that start with the same letter in the Persian alphabet and represent the beginning of spring,” Shojaee said. This installation will be on display at the waterfront until Mar. 7 when the installation will move to a temporary home at Scottsdale Quarter — where it will remain until the end of the month.

No matter what draws members of the crowd to the waterfront on Mar. 5 for the Scottsdale Persian New Year Festival, Shojaee feels this is the best way for visitors and residents to experience her culture. “This is the best way for anyone who is not familiar with the culture to come and experience it,” she said. “With the smells, the visuals, the people and the hospitality, you will feel it.” She also hopes that people share in her culture. “I hope that people come with open hearts and open eyes, experience the culture in their own way and share it with us,” she said. “If we can represent our culture in the best light, I would love that.”

Scottsdale mom’s makes wine, helps people BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ Progress Contributor

hird-generation Arizona native Kristen Shroyer grew up knowing two things. “I knew I loved Scottsdale, especially going to school at Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle and Chaparral High. I am North Valley proud from day one,” Shroyer said. “I also knew that I knew far more about wine than most kids – which sounds weird saying it out loud.” Shroyer clarifies that her parents were wine aficionados and visited Napa often, sometimes allowing Shroyer to tag along on cellar, vineyard and cave tours. Though she didn’t get any sips, she did soak in a lot of information about grapes, harvests and winemaking that would serve her well as early as high school. Upon graduating from Chaparral in 2001, Shroyer moved to Tucson to study marketing at the Eller College at the University of Arizona. “Freshman year I attended the school’s job fair and marched myself directly to the Gallo Wine table, determined to earn an internship with them,” Shroyer said. “Alas, as I was just 19, they had to decline.” The representative at the table, however, was impressed with her moxie and challenged Shroyer to stay in touch for an opportunity once she was of age and eventually created an internship for her after her junior year. Armed with her research, work ethic and proof she was finally 21, Shroyer worked in grocery stores across California that summer merchandising wine. After earning her bachelor’s degree, Gallo moved Shroyer to Newport Beach, selling wine from their extensive portfolio to Orange County grocers.

Kristen Shroyer started dating her now-husband, Brad Shroyer, just weeks before making a move back to Arizona. The two married in 2010 and welcomed their daughters in 2012 and 2014. (Taylor Hotter/Progress Contributor)

According to Shroyer, it was while with colleague Jake Kloberdanz stocking wine at a grocery store that the seeds for their empire were planted. “We noticed the entire store – save for the wine aisle – was pink, thanks to the many products supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Shroyer said. “We loved it but found ourselves sad both that wine wasn’t represented in support of the cause and that come Nov. 1, all of the pink was gone yet there was no other cause to support.” The two friends, along with six other colleagues, put pen to paper and came up with an idea of a wine company that partnered with a host of causes and donated a portion of every dollar made directly back to each group. “Being that most of us were just 23 years old, the idea stayed on paper for what I thought would be forever,” said Shroyer. “Turns out ‘forever’ was just a few years away, as was being back in Scottsdale.” In 2006, Kloberdanz called Shroyer with the sobering news that a friend was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Shroyer, Kloberdanz and their six colleagues quit their jobs and committed to building a wine company that supported people like their friend. They named their company ONEHOPE Wine because they wanted to give hope by giving back with funds from every bottle in order to create a lasting impact for local and global causes. “I was only 25 at the time. It was before kids and a mortgage, so I made the biggest leap of faith of my life,” said Shroyer, who relocated back to Southern California to start the ball rolling. After connecting with a custom crush facility and developing an ini-

tial concept – wines where each varietal raised funds for one cause they cared about – the team began selling ONEHOPE from their cars and to their friends, quickly learning the former was technically illegal. “Within a few months, we got a distributor who believed in us, and Arizona was one of the first markets we were able to sell in. This was huge for me, as it meant I could move home to oversee the region,” Shroyer said. ONEHOPE is now available in all 50 states, including hotels and restaurants, and has more than 200 investors. And in 2020, the brand opened its first full-scale tasting room in the heart of Napa. Upon opening the 10acre property, ONEHOPE became the first (and still only) impact-driven winemaker in the region. Located in the coveted wine region of Rutherford, the space allows it to host wine tastings, events, and even its own formal harvest parties, the most recent of which raised $317,000 to provide clean drinking water to thousands in the developing world.

Shroyer also co-launched the ONEHOPE Foundation, funding causes around the world. “We’ve made contributions to more than 30,000 local nonprofits in excess of $7.5 million in the past 14 years alone,” Shroyer said. “We also launched a direct-to-consumer program where anyone can host a ONEHOPE wine tasting to help fundraise for a nonprofit of choice, and we have a wine club where you can have our winemaker curate wines for you, or you can pick and choose yourself.” Shroyer also coaches a youth volleyball team, serves on the board of the Scottsdale Unified School District Foundation, and is the cookie manager for her daughter’s Girl Scout Troop. “My parents inspired me to entrepreneurism though wine, and I am doing it with my own children through cookies,” laughs Shroyer, noting she was attracted to the program for its focus on goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. “I want them prepared to come work with me, or to branch and dream big on their own, all with my full support.”

The best of 2 worlds merge in this cookie

hat if you captured all of the delicious decadence of a chocolate brownie and transferred it to a cookie? A cookie that is so chewy, chocolaty and crinkly that it will win the hearts of crispy cookie lovers and soft baked cookie lovers alike? Well, head to the kitchen, because here it is. I discovered this delicious recipe for Chocolate Brownie Cookies in one of my go-to magazines, Cook’s Country, a spin-off publication of Cook’s Illustrated and America’s Test Kitchen. I love these cookies right out of the oven, but now I know to make an extra batch to freeze. Because, you know, you will have one of those nights when you must satisfy your chocolate
