Old photos a treasure for Scottsdale man

BY KRISTINE CANNON Progress Staff Writer

In the basement of the Little Red Schoolhouse in Old Town Scottsdale, Bob Fowler delicately slides out an old photograph from its plastic sheathing.

The black-and-white photo shows a dozen or so couples dancing inside a barn; the women are wearing poodle skirts, the men bolo ties or colonel ties, and hats are hung on wooden beams.

This is just one of hundreds of photographs Fowler has left to scan into the Scottsdale Historical Society’s digital archive.

“I’ve scanned about 1,600 in the time that I’ve been doing it, and I would say that, in our files, we have another 700, 800,” Fowler said.

“That’s still enough to keep me out of mischief,” he added with a smirk.

torical Society (SHS) volunteer.

He initially volunteered to be a docent at the Little Red Schoolhouse and eventually became SHS’ designated digital archivist. He’s also on SHS’ board of directors.

“It’s helping to fulfill the mission of the society, as far as preserving and presenting history,” Fowler said of what he enjoys about being SHS’ digital archivist.

“That’s really satisfying that we’ve provided the public with an opportunity to see the photographs because they’re usually just in a file cabinet, and we don’t normally have people go in and look at them person,” he added.

A four-drawer filing cabinet in the Little Red Schoolhouse basement is nearly full of old photographs donated by the public as far back as 1984.

The photographs themselves, however, date even further back.

And while a majority of the photos are donated by Scottsdale residents, many come from families out of state.

“We just had a woman from Pennsylvania come,” Fowler said. “Her brother actu

Stars who conquered cancer take stage

BY KRISTINE CANNON Progress Staff Writer

Northern Scottsdale resident Linda Luth was 64 when her doctor told her she had ovarian cancer.

“He called me from his vacation to tell me I had ovarian cancer on the phone,” Luth said. “I’m looking at the phone, and I said to my husband, ‘I have cancer.’”

More than one year later, in the midst of undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer, she was also diagnosed with appendiceal cancer.

“It turns out a cyst was attached to my appendix and they found an

early stage of appendiceal cancer,” she explained.

Luth has always maintained a healthy lifestyle — she ate well, and she exercised every day — so needless to say, the diagnoses were a shock.

But, she said, her faith never wavered. In fact, she said, Katy Perry’s 2013 smash hit “Roar” became her mantra.

“My husband bought me this shirt. It says, ‘You’re going to hear me roar,’” Luth said.

Now cancer-free for two years as of last week, Luth is one of eight Arizona women — all cancer survivors — who will tell their respective stories as part of “S.T.A.R.S.: Survivors Take a Real Stage,” hosted by A 2nd Act.

S.T.A.R.S. is a live, curated storytelling performance featuring local women who have faced a terrifying diagnosis and are using their gifts of life and experience to give back to the greater good.

The event takes place March 22 at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in Old Town Scottsdale.

“There [are] tons of research supporting the theory that healing in helping. Our amazing storytellers are doing wonderful things in the

The donor’s father was manager of ABC Ranch from 1948 to 1954. The ABC Ranch and Polo Club was one of the late Jerry Wendell Mitchell’s several ranches; he also owned Rawhide, Krazy Horse Ranch and Polo Club, and Wranglers Roost Dude Ranch.

“I had not heard about the ABC Ranch, and I didn’t know anything about it,” Fowler said. “So, she lent us some of the pictures she had of her parents in 1948, and she actually brought some scrapbooks.”

Fowler comes into the Little Red Schoolhouse about once a week to scan.

Once scanned in the highest possible file quality setting, the photos are categorized into one of about 40 categories, like “Downtown Scottsdale” or “historic buildings before 1950.”

“I scan to a fairly high level, that way when we put it in the library website, if somebody wants to make a copy, they can,” Fowler said. “We’ve had a number of restaurants and businesses put up historical photographs, from Village Tavern and Denny’s to Wells Fargo and, I think, some Albertsons.”

Fowler said SHS met with the Scottsdale Public Library in 2011 to discuss the idea of hosting the photos in SHS’ digital archive on the library’s digital collection on its website as well.

He’s been sharing SHS’ photographs since.

“What I do is I usually collect 50, 60, 70 [photos], put them on DVDs, and then I go to the library,” he explained.

Each donated photo comes with a document called an accession form that lists the date the photo was donated to SHS, the donor’s name and contact information, and a description of the photo, including — if Fowler’s lucky — the names of the people pictured.

“For each photograph, I try to tell a story of the people in the photograph. I try to put down the names and that kind of stuff. I’m not just throwing a photograph up there; I’m trying to give some information that people can use,” he said.

He’s also found himself connecting pieces of Scottsdale history.

For example, an accession form that was submitted to SHS in July 1992 read, “1 5x7 black and white glossy photo of the Stevenson family (Christmas 1944?).”

According to the handwritten description of the photo, the picture showed a “small building with a frame for swings,” and, in the background, “a house with a large tree.”

Turns out, the house was the Titus House, one of the oldest houses in Scottsdale located near McDowell and Hayden roads and built in 1892.

“The Stevenson family used to work in the Titus House, and there’s a picnic behind that Titus House,” Fowler said. “This is one I hadn’t seen before.”

Fowler chooses the photos he scans based on what he finds – and what he thinks others will find – interesting.

“Sometimes, we might have pictures of families that have 20 pictures, and the question is, how many of those pictures, at least immediately, do you want to scan. That’s kind of a challenge,” he said.

Fowler’s not only interested in Scottsdale’s history – which he calls “short, but fast” — but also European history.

“For a while, I was working for a French computer company, and I went on a lot of trips to Paris,” Fowler said, adding that that’s when he got interested in learning all about World War I.

“Over the years, I actually started in the battlefield sites of Verdun and then went across that part of Western Europe,” Fowler added.

But Fowler doesn’t light up quite the same way than while discussing Scottsdale’s history.

“There’s a lot of aerial photos of Scottsdale over the years that I like,” he said. “There’s one we have actually on display that is Scottsdale in 1936. You can see it as this kind of a dusty old farming town in the downtown area.”

While SHS is always in need of volunteers, Fowler said he prefers being a team of one “because I have a little more control over the information and how we do it.” What Fowler does welcome, though, are more donated photographs.

“Most of the photographs came in the '80s and '90s,” he said. “Two or three times a year, maybe, we get photographs. It’s really slowed down from where it used to be.” “Maybe people don’t think of us as far as donating the photographs to,” Fowler added.

world,” said Judy Pearson, founder of A2ndAct.org.

“And the value of a 2nd Act isn’t defined by size. Giving time one-on-one is just as valuable as creating foundations and building hospital wings.”

Luth began giving back while she was still undergoing treatment.

She is one of many ovarian cancer survivors and caregivers who take part in Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance’s Survivors Teaching Students program.

As part of the program, the nearly 1,000 survivor volunteers educate future healthcare providers about ovarian cancer by sharing stories of diagnosis, treatment and survivorship, along with facts about the disease.

The program is offered in 36 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, UK, Canada, and Australia; and in 2019 alone, the program reached nearly 13,000 students.

“I’m all for helping and getting out there and doing; and that’s what 2nd Act is. It is anybody who continues to help people and help survivors,” Luth said.

“I thought everyone who did this had to have a dot-org or a nonprofit — and I did not,” Luth added.

One S.T.A.R.S. participant who does raise money for nonprofits, however, is an ovarian cancer survivor of three years this May, Cristan Creasy.

Creasy, a southern Scottsdale resident, battled endometriosis for 10 years and was diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer at 36.

She pursued a mix of traditional cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and alternative treatments and went into remission in May 2017.

During treatment, Creasy spent a lot of her time sketching the designs for what would become her apparel line, Swearing Off Cancer.

“I started by sketching because it was like a multiple of feelings. I felt at peace, honestly, with my diagnosis because I felt like things were going to be OK. But there was other stuff that goes along with that. The treatments are very difficult. I did not tolerate chemo at all,” Creasy said.

Plenty to cheer about

Notre Dame Prep'S varsity cheer team scored second place in the fi nals of the USA Spirit Nationals last week in Anaheim, California. “We were so excited when we heard that we hit a perfect routine in prelims,” said senior Emily Roudin, a four-year veteran on the cheer team. “When you’re in fi rst place all the teams are coming for you and they are all very competitive,” she added. The Saints scored the Notre Dame's highest place the school ever has earned at the annual national competition after placing third last year. “Our goal going into Nationals was to make it to the fi nals, and we exceeded that goal,” Roudin said.

Launched in August 2017, the Swearing Off Cancer apparel line features shirts with phrases like “F Cancer,” “this is my silent protest against cancer,” “still recovering,” and more.

“The word ‘cancer’ freaks most people out, so don’t let them force upon you their insecurities about talking about it,” Creasy said. “It’s about making it approachable for everybody. Just talk about it, guys.”

Swearing Off Cancer donates 15 percent of online retail sales to cancer-related charities, including the Joy Bus, Make-A-Wish Arizona, and Colleen’s Dream Foundation — so far raising and donating close to $2,000 to charities.

But through its outreach program, Creasy also teaches restorative yoga classes and gives yoga nidra sleep-based meditation sessions to cancer patients and survivors free of charge through the Body, Mind, and Spirit Program at Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center in Scottsdale. This program is 100 percent free to all cancer patients and survivors, regardless of where they’ve received treatments.

“The way that I can interact with the students is very personal, and they come and talk to me about certain things, and they understand that I understand that,” Creasy said.

“I would’ve never thought that when I was diagnosed with cancer that I would end up treasuring the parts that came after cancer,” she added, “the relationships and the experiences and friendships that have come because of it.”

When Creasy shares her story with the S.T.A.R.S. audience, she hopes to get across just how fortunate she feels.

“And that’s what pushes me to do more for others,” she added.

As for Luth, she said she’s stressing the importance of speaking up and being one’s own advocate, as she did when her gynecologist, as she put it, dismissed her.

“I went to the gynecologist and I said, ‘Something’s wrong with my belly. I don’t know what it is.’ I was 64 at the time, and I looked seven months, eight months pregnant. And he said to me, ‘This is out of my realm of expertise,’” Luth recalled. “Those nine words will stick with me.”

Southern Scottsdale resident Cristan Creasy is a survivor of ovarian cancer. In 2017, she started her own apparel line, Swearing Off Cancer, which donates a portion of sales to cancer-related charities, including Colleen’s Dream Foundation, the Joy Bus, and Make-AWish Arizona.

“I think ovarian is not as silent as we think,” Luth added. “It’s that the doctors aren’t listening.”

Olivia Fierro, anchor of 3TV’s Good Morning Arizona, will emcee the S.T.A.R.S. performance.

This year marks A 2nd Act’s fifth annual performance; it’s also the organization’s only annual fundraiser.

Money raised by the S.T.A.R.S. performance supports the organization’s programs, including workshops and microgrants, which provide seed money for local women survivors ready to launch or grow their 2nd Acts.

“Let me assure you, this performance is thought-provoking, humorous, and motivating as well as inspiring,” Pearson said.

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Progress Staff Writer R odeo is in Dave Alford’s blood. He rode in the late ’60s and early ’70s, until he fell into rodeo production.

Four decades later, he’s producing the Rodeo Scottsdale, which has bucked its way through town for 67 years. This year’s event is Thursday, March 5, to Sunday, March 8, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. “We look forward to the rodeo each year, adding more talent and creating a buckin’ fun weekend for all ages that you won’t forget,” says Alford, Rodeo Scottsdale’s general manager. “Over the past six decades, the only thing that that has changed about the rodeo is the location, we sustain the roots and tradition to keep the rodeo spirit alive.”

Beginning Thursday, March 5, Rodeo Scottsdale’s professional all-bull riding event jumps out of the chute with roping, riding, thrills and spills. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event showcases more than 50 top bull riders competing for their 8 seconds of glory of trying to stay on top of the most highly ranked bulls.

More than 20,000 fans from all over the country will witness more than 500 contestants competing Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoon for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. The full, traditional rodeo will have seven events, including roping, barrel racing, bronc and bull riding.

“It’s the rodeo you would have seen in the ’50s and ’60s,” Alford says. “There are not a lot of fireworks and explosions. It’s a good, clean wholesome traditional rodeo.”

Other events include the Coors Hoedown, which takes place after the rodeo on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and features popular country music for kids of all ages. Country music band Jason Boland and the Stragglers highlight the music scene with their performance on Saturday.

Thursday will feature 50 bull riders, while Friday and Saturday there will be traditional seven events. This is Alford’s 37th year with the rodeo.

“I grew up in Scottsdale,” he says. “I’m one of those rare natives. As a young kid going into it, when I was a teenager, I competed in rodeo.

“My father was on the original committee that started the rodeo in 1953. It’s pretty much in my blood.”

The tradition of rodeo is what keeps him motivated and inspired.

“Rodeo is a good American tradition,” he says. “With hard work and practice, you get results. My kids are all involved. I have five kids and they’re very involved in putting on the rodeo, and now my grandkids are, too.”

He remembers the days when Scottsdale schools excused kids from school early to attend the rodeo.

“When I was a kid in the ’50s and ’60s, they let us out of school early on Fridays to go to the rodeo,” he says. “My sisters and all the girls in school loved it. It was the only day they could wear jeans because there was a dress code. It’s changed. There aren’t many people raised in the agricultural world or the rodeo world.”

Nevertheless, the event sells out on Saturday night because the interest is there.

“I see a lot of the younger kids getting into rodeo,” he says. “Some make money at it. They work hard and stay healthy and practice. The future of rodeo is bright.” North Scottsdale Rodeo Scottsdale general manager Dave Alford says rodeo has a bright future because younger kids are getting into it.

BY KRISTINE CANNON Progress Staff Writer I f the name Al Beadle doesn’t ring a bell, chances are you’re familiar with the late architect’s mid-century modern buildings throughout the Valley.

Most notably, Beadle is the architect behind a three-unit apartment development — and the only Arts & Architecture Case Study program project built in Arizona – known as the Triad in Phoenix, built in 1962.

Beadle passed away in 1998 at 71, but his presence remains strong in the Valley, including in the Scottsdale area, where a Beadle sculpture was recently dedicated. The Beadle-designed sculpture – an 8-foot-tall, blue-painted steel sculpture – was installed in September in front of Scottsdale Artists’ School in Old Town Scottsdale and dedicated on Feb. 22.

In attendance at the dedication was Councilwoman Solange Whitehead, Beadle’s business partner of 35 years Ned Sawyer and his wife, and Beadle’s kids, among others.

“Ziggy’s Sister” was donated to the City of Scottsdale as an anonymous gift in honor of the Beadle family.

“’Ziggy’s Sister’ is a cool, blue, modern piece that has the added benefit of being locally historic,” said Wendy Raisanen, curator of collections and exhibitions for Scottsdale Public Art. “It’s an eye-catching addition to the Scottsdale Arts District.” Originally part of a residence in Paradise Valley, “Ziggy’s Sister” is one of only two Beadle sculptures painted blue; the other is installed at Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa.

Scottsdale Public Art manages the sculptures and other works of art in the City’s collection. “Ziggy’s Sister” was created in 2000 based on plans and maquettes, or models, Beadle created before his death two years prior.

Beadle created more than 40 maquettes of larger steel sculptures, which are still used today by his authorized Tempe-based constructor, Gary Slater, to fabricate full-size pieces.

Proceeds from the posthumous sculptures built using Beadle’s original maquettes benefit the artist’s family.

With virtually no training in architecture, Beadle began his career as a designer and builder in 1950.

“He was, initially, unlicensed,” Sawyer said in a 2017 interview with Palm Springs Life. “Because of that, he said, ‘The drawings have to be better, the design has to be better and less expensive, so no one has any place to criticize the quality of our work.’”

Now considered one of the Valley’s most important architects of the post-World War II generation, Beadle has designed many homes and commercial buildings in Arizona — mostly in the Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale areas.

In 1963 alone, Beadle brought the Executive Towers, a 22-story midtown highrise Ziggy’s Sister, 2000, was designed by the late Alfred Newman (Al) Beadle. Four of six of his children are seen here with the sculpture during the dedication ceremony. (Skye Fallon) The late Al Beadle, posing here by one of his creations in Palm Springs, ranks as a mid-century architectural master. (Special to the Progress) South Scottsdale

that established Beadle as a prominent modernist architect.

At the time, the Executive Towers was the tallest building in Arizona, and it’s currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Beadle was also known for the design of the million-dollar Safari Resort, considered the most elaborate and finest “motelhotel” in the state for its decor, facilities, and personnel.

Opened in 1956 on Camelback Road, Safari Resort was known for its live music and for being a popular late-night diner. The resort, however, closed in 1998 to make way for a $143 million Marriott hotel and conference center that never materialized, the East Valley Tribune reported in 2006.

“I started working for Al while attending ASU College of Architecture. He wanted me to learn similar skills and would take me with him to experience our buildings being constructed,” Sawyer said.

“He told me,” Sawyer continued, “‘Ned, if you see construction, it will be easier for you to draft our buildings and design them in the future. Always remember our drawings and designs have to be better and our buildings have to be more economical.’” In addition to “Ziggy’s Sister,” Scottsdale Public Art also recently installed another donated sculpture in the patio courtyard at the Appaloosa Library in northern Scottsdale.

This untitled, 10-foot stainless-steel sculpture by New York City-based Roger Phillips was created in 1983 and features red aluminum discs that spin in the wind. The sculpture was donated to the city by John and Judith Ellerman and installed in September.

“In particular, we are pleased to accept artwork, much like the Al Beadle sculpture, when there is a particular connection to Arizona’s art and culture,” said Kim Boganey, director of Scottsdale Public Art.

“Beadle is a well-noted architect and artist, known for his work throughout the Valley, and now we have a beautiful sculpture by him located here in Scottsdale.” “Ziggy’s Sister” is located at Scottsdale Artists’ School at 3720 N. Marshall Way. Information: scottsdalepublicart. org.
