“In�lation is real,” said Scottsdale Uni�ied Nutrition Director Patti Bilbery “Most people can relate it to the fact they go to the grocery store and they’ve probably seen their home grocery costs be close to double to what you used to pay.“We’re experiencing the same thing, but in school meals we can’t just double the price of a school lunch. Our mission is to feed healthy, low cost meals to kids.” Last year the cost to put out a meal was $4. Bilbery had no cost �igure yet on what it is going to cost to put out a meal this year because the new year is only a few days old. But she plans on it being well in excess of $4. “I fully expect our costs to go up more,” she said. “We have manufacturers that have already told me prices are going to go up throughout the year,” Bilbery said.

The boost comes from a mixture of aircraft types – including smaller propeller, turbo prop and business jet aircraft – all competing to depart, according to a written statement released by the airport.
Aviation staff, in collaboration with Mead & Hunt (the airport’s on-call engineer) and the FAA air traffic control staff, designed the project to introduce five aircraft run-up positions at the north end of the runway. This provides adequate spacing for aircraft and allows the air traffic control tower to efficiently clear aircraft for departure, according to the written statement.
Arecently awarded $5.4 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration will increase efficiency for planes waiting to take off at Scottsdale Airport, airport officials say.
The grants will provide funding to construct an aircraft runup area, reconstruct a portion of the taxiway and taxiway connectors up to current FAA safety standards and rehabilitate a taxiway connector. That will allow smaller prop planes, which are slower to take off, to get out of the way of the larger and faster corporate jets.Getting the faster planes out first will improve efficiency at the one-runway facility, airport spokeswoman Sarah Ferrara said. “It really just plays into how they can move that traffic most efficiently,” Ferrara said.But general aviation aircraft owner Dr. Chris Winterholler called the development “infuriating.”Hesaidthe grant will be used as another move to push any aircraft that aren’t business jets out of the airport.

In other words, taxpayer assets cannot be used to profit a private individual or organization.Byallowing Jet Aviation to terminate the leases for the 78 plane storage units early, the city gave Jet Aviation what amounts to a gift, according to the lawsuit.
The FAA recognized the importance of this project – especially with Super Bowl LVII coming this February – and awarded the grants to Scottsdale earlier than expected, the written statement says.
And that creates an efficiency problem, Scottsdale Airport Aviation Director Gary P. Mascaro said. “This causes a bottleneck of aircraft at our runway end,” Mascaro said. “These grants support the importance of improving these capacity issues at Scottsdale Airport.”
“Infrastructure for the .01% of the population is what this is,” he added, stating that such spending while ignoring “actual taxpaying local business people that rely on that airport is wrong.” Ferrara denies that accusation. “It’s not really that we’re giving preference to (corporate jets); it’s how do we get them most efficiently in the flow and out,” sheThesaid.group Save Scottsdale General Aviation sued the airport and Jet Aviation in April for what it calls a concerted effort to push smaller, general aviation planes out of the airport to make way for larger business jets. At least 78 plane owners who parked their aircraft at what was known as the Greenway Shades area of the airport got eviction notices earlier this year. Jet Aviation, a fixed base operator at the airport that owned the leases, canceled them and demolished the site to make room for new facilities, including 30,000 square feet of hangar space, 13,000 square feet of office and lobby space and 200,000 square feet of private ramp. Jet Aviation is building what it calls a “customer flagship facility” in Scottsdale.

“The FAA is subsidizing the super-rich and kicking the (general aviation) community to the weeds,” Winterholler said, calling it “pork-barrel spending for essentially one weekend” – namely the Super Bowl.

The lawyer for the Save Scottsdale General Aviation has received the defendants’ initial disclosures and is working on theirs, said John Washington, a spokesman for the group.Washington called the current situation an attempt to maximize jet fuel sales at the airport.“How about the FAA give (the airport) money to build GA parking rather than facilitate jet parking for one weekend for the super-rich that have to attend a stupid football game or car show or golf tournament?”The new project will be funded by two grants from the FAA that include $4,690,602 in Airport Improvement Grant funds and $763,000 from bipartisan infrastructure legislation. During Scottsdale Airport’s busy season – especially during event season with the Barrett Jackson Car Auction, WM Phoenix Open and the Arabian Horse Show – there are spikes in business jet operations.
The project will start this fall and completion is anticipated by the end of the year – just in time for the Super Bowl.
At the crux of the group’s complaint is the claim that the city violated the state’s gift clause, which says governmental agencies in Arizona cannot “give or loan its credit in the aid of, or make any donation or grant, by subsidy or otherwise, to any individual, association, or corporation.”
“The business jets departing with instrument flight rules have a certain window to depart the airport when they receive clearance from the FAA tower,” the statement“Unfortunately,says. with a single taxiway and aircraft lined up to depart, the business jet aircraft are unable to taxi around smaller aircraft. And in some instances, some aircraft waiting to depart, obstruct others and delay their departure.”
Mesa AZ – When it comes to chronic pain and/ or neuropathy, the most common doctor-prescribed treatment is drugs like Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin. The problem with antidepressants or anti-seizure medications like these is that they offer purely symptomatic relief, as opposed to targeting and treating the root of the problem. Worse, these drugs often trigger an onset of uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes harmful side

Theeffects.only way to effectively treat chronic pain and/or peripheral neuropathy is by targeting the source, which is the result of nerve damage owing to inadequate blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. This often causes weakness, numbness,balance problems. A lack of nutrients causes the nerves degenerate – an insidious As displayed in figure 1 above, the nerves are surrounded by diseased, withered blood vessels. A lack of sufficient nutrients means the nerves cannot survive, and thus, slowly die. This leads to those painful and frustrating consequences we were talking about earlier, like weakness, numbness, tingling, balance issues, and perhaps even a burning sensation. The drugs your doctor might prescribe will temporarily conceal the problems, putting a “Band-Aid” over a situation that will only continue to deteriorate without further Thankfully,action. Mesa is the birthplace of a brandnew facility that sheds new light on this pressing problem of peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain. The company is trailblazing the medical industry by replacing outdated drugs and symptomatic reprieves with an advanced machine that targets the root of the problem at hand. Effective neuropathy treatment relies on the following three factors: 1. Finding the underlying cause 2. Determining the extent of the nerve damage (above 95% nerve loss is rarely treatable)
3. The amount of treatment required for the patient’s unique condition Aspen Medical in Mesa AZ uses a state-of-the-art electric cell signaling systems worth $100,000.00. Th is ground-breaking treatment is engineered to achieve the following, accompanied by advanced diagnostics and a basic skin biopsy to accurately analyze results: 1. Increases blood flow 2. Stimulates and strengthens small fiber nerves 3. Improves brain-based pain The treatment works by delivering energy to the affected area(s) at varying wavelengths, from low- to middle-frequency signals, while also using Amplitude Modulated (AM) and Frequency Modulated (FM) signaling It’s completely painless!
THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THIS TREATMENT IS COVERED BY MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND INSURANCES!!MOST Depending on your coverage, your peripheral neuropathy treatment could cost almost nothing – or be absolutely free.

Board’s concerns halt Miller Road bridge design
“You just voted to put a noise wall on Pima Road not two weeks ago but we’re not good enough for some reason?” White said.
• Paving the top of the bridge with asphalt to reduce noise.
• Relocated a multi-use path from the west side of the bridge to the east side of the
• Increased landscaped areas.
The city has already made a number of changes to the project based upon input from area residences, including:
• Improvements of the Happy Valley and Miller roads intersection. The $19.8 million extension will make Miller Road a key north-south connector.
The Design Review Board raised a number of concerns about the Rawhide Wash Bridge – a critical part of the Miller Road extension – and that has forced the city to halt work on the span’s design work. (City of Scottsdale)
• Reduced speed from 40 mph to 35 mph.
After incensed area neighbors conducted letter writing and email campaigns and showed up to the July 6 meeting, Council voted 4-3 to put the wall back in the project at a cost of about $4 million.
Timothy La Sota, an attorney hired by the Pinnacle Reserve HOA, accused the city of stringing residents along. “We haven’t necessarily gotten hard nos on some things,” he said. “It’s just kind of ‘later,’ but it’s seems to be proceeding to a point where it’s going to be finalized at least by this board and it should go back and receive more discussion before it receives approval. “We’ve talked about a lot of these things with the city. I’ve talked with city staff, different members of council are still interested in this project.”
• Added buffered bike lanes.
When completed, the city expects 22,000 vehicles will use the new stretch of Miller Road per day, alleviating congestion on Pima and Scottsdale roads, which are expected to see 46,000 and 34,000 vehicles per day, respectively, once the Miller Road project is complete.
The construction phase of the project is expected to begin in December and should take 14-16 months to complete officials said.Concerns raised about the bridge had not interrupted that timetable, as the city is continuing to acquire rights of way needed for the project.
• Reduced lanes from 12 feet to 11 feet.
Many speakers at the DRB meeting were eager to point out that on July 6, City Council voted to put in a sound wall on the west side of Pima Road – which is being expanded from four lanes to six between Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley roads. That wall was planned for years but was taken out because the cost did not fit city cost parameters after inflation set in.
Whitehead doesn’t hold out much hope for getting a sound wall. “It doesn’t fall within the parameters” necessary for a wall, she said.
“I understand the need for growth but there must be a better way than this disrespect towards home owners,” he said. “When we were on site of this project this past March we had a couple council people, Solange (Whitehead), Mr. (Tom) Durham along with a transportation crew. (Scottsdale Public Works Director) Dan Worth and Jeremy Richter seemed happy about the road, smiling, laughing with their answers, knowing full well they had zero intent of helping us in any way. Almost giddy at denying us what we were asking for.”
BY J. GRABER Progress Staff Writer The design of the bridge over Rawhide Wash, a crucial element in the plan for the controversial Miller Road extension between Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley roads, has come to a halt. The Development Review Board refused to approve the bridge’s design by a 4-3 vote until a number of questions about the project could be answered by staff. “We need to think outside the box,” board member Shakir Gushgari said. Among the questions posed by the board members were why the sidewalk could not be detached from the road in front of the Los Portones community, why more sustainable materials won’t be used to pave the bridge, why the city is not creating small retention basins to capture the first flush of storm water off the bridge and why a noise abatement study hasn’t been done on the Projectproject.manager Jeremy Richter had answers to those questions after the meeting. Richter told the Progress that the Los Portones HOA specifically asked for attached sidewalks. He also noted that city is using paving materials that meet the Maricopa Association of Governments standards.Likewise he said, based on board member Ali Fakih’s questioning, the city does intend to add the retention basins. Finally, despite the belief by some that a noise study wasn’t done, one was completed in March 2021. Crews took noise measurements on parts of Miller Road and came up with equivalent sound levels (averaged over an hour) of 48 to 53 Theydecibels.thenextrapolated that information out to peak hours on the section of the road in the year 2040 and it still only reached 49 to 62 Butdecibels.someresidents want another sound study six months after the construction is complete.“Thisproject will ruin our property values and quality of life,” said area resident DanRichterLundberg.said a sound study six months after the road is open would not give a relevant reading of sound levels because few cars are expected to use that portion of the street when it first opens. The city is interested in sound levels in year 2040 and that number isn’t likely to increase with readings even then, he said. City noise abatement policy requires a noise analysis any time the capacity of a roadway is increased. If the analysis shows the noise level will pass 64 decibels, a noise wall is justified. Also, if the cost of the wall falls under $60,000 per benefited receiver, a noise wall is Lundbergjustified. recently bought a noise meter and said it measured of sound levels on the at 79 to 85 decibels. That doesn’t sit well with Fredrick White, president of the Pinnacle Reserve HOA.
• Increased vehicle barriers from 42 inches to 54 inches to reduce noise.

Littlefield said her victory will allow her to cement her legacy on council. “I want to be remembered as some one who listened to the citizens and who firmly believed all the years on the council, however many that will be, that I am the voice of the citizens,” she said. “I represent them and how they want Scott sdale to grow and develop and how they want Scottsdale to end up being at the end of all of this.”
“They want to protect our tourism. They want to make sure development is quality development, which, like I said, reflects our values, prioritizes tourism and is supported by residents.”
Three of the top four vote getters in the race ran on campaigns to limit city growth.Littlefield, Graham and Carter all ran on a platform of limiting tall, dense apart ment and condominium projects. Some in the community have said the limited-growth faction is little more than a vocal minority, but Littlefield said the election proved them wrong. “Per the results of the election, I don’t think that’s true,” she said. “I think the citizen’s proved it. They want Scottsdale to stay special. They want the character of Scottsdale to remain what they have built and what they have developed over the“Peopleyears. take pride in their city and its beauty and it’ graciousness. I think that’s fine. They earned it. They built it. They bought it. They paid for the land. They built their homes and they developed it. You know, it’s not like Scottsdale is going to roll over and die, put its little feet in the air,” Littlefield said, adding: “Scottsdale will continue to grow. It will continue to develop within the character and within the confines of what the citi zens want it to become, not what the de velopers can get the best bang for their buckGrahamfor.” agreed with Littlefield, who endorsed him in the primary election. “I think there’s a substantial number of residents who are concerned with the path Scottsdale has been going down,”
Barry Graham Pamela Carter
But with Graham and Carter facing off in November, they will be looking for something other than the limited growth card to differentiate themselves. Neither said they are changing their messages, but they may be looking to em phasize other portions of it. For Graham, that will mean getting his experience out front and center.
Graham said. “They’re concerned about runaway development. They really want to protect Scottsdale’s character.
“I think the voters spoke on that issue,” she said. “They do not want the … high rise, high density apartment complexes.”
Carter said the proof is in the pudding.
“Voters have said experience mat ters in this election because you saw the two incumbents winning outright,” he said. “I’ve been saying during this whole campaign I’ve got 10 years’ ex perience on boards and commissions. I’ve voted on the city’s most crucial is see

She added a track record of solving people’s problems also played a part in her win. “I worked with so many neighborhoods throughout the city and helped them that it wasn’t a single (deciding) issue,” Whitehead said. “People know they can count on me. They can call me. I will solve problems … I got an email from a gentleman who said, ‘Of course I voted for you.

The problem is, the city of Scottsdale is turning off the water to the stem pipe on Jan. 1, 2023 as part of its drought management plan.

She acknowledged “development is the issue of the day,” but she has adopted a stance during her time on council of rather than just saying no to what she described as “bad development,” working with developers to improve it. She figures that went a long way toward getting her re-elected, but she added the lions’ share of the reason for her re-election was a simple grass-roots campaign.“Ihadasmall group of volunteers and we just reached thousands of voters,” Whitehead said. “I knocked on a thousand doors. Me and my few volunteers called 2,500 voters. We just really heard from voters. I thought I knew Scottsdale but this election cycle, I got to know thousands more people in Scottsdale.”

The first is to cut-back on quality. The district has typically served food with no additives or preservatives, but that costs extra money. So, the district has been forced to choose lower quality foods.
• Be 50 to 90 years old
“It could still be (nutritionally) compliant food but not a higher quality compliant food,” Bilbery said. “We’ve had to decrease the quality of the food a little bit, well not a little bit, quite a lot because we are still being shorted food left and right.”
The second lever is to raise prices, but she has to be careful not to price families out of the market. “We have a tipping point for parents that if you go to … $3.50 or $4 (per meal) but if (parents) have three kids, that’s $12 a day and a lot of families just can’t afford that,” BilberyUltimately,said. she does not intend to make ends meet this year. She said she won’t raise prices but as variables start to lock into place as the year progresses, it will be a good a good indicator of what the next five years’ costs will look like. “I do have that healthy fund balance and I know families are struggling,” Bilbery said. “I don’t want to dwindle that balance down to a critical low, but I know I can support this year at what our prices are while families are still struggling through this tough economy.”SUSDSchool Board Member Jann-Michael Greenburg hopes it won’t come to price“Myincreases.personal preference would be for universal free meals but nutrition services is a business operation that’s separate and distinct from the budget we get from the government,” he said. “If in order to stay afloat and continue to maintain the employees that they have and continue to serve our children, they do need to raise prices on meals and other food products, then I would have to support that because the alternative is we cannot afford the employees that we have, we cannot afford to feed our children at all and that would be an even worse result.”
The federal government stepping in and providing no cost meals to our communities over the past year-plus was a valuable supportKeepingservice.thefees as affordable as possible will continue to be a primary interest to uphold.”The fact is she doesn’t know if she will need to raise prices in the future or by how much.The federal government has been paying for every student’s meals for the last two years as part of the COVID-19 relief plan. But that’s over and Bilbery just got what the federal government will be reimbursing the district for meals – $4.41 for a free meal and $4.01 for reduced meals.
The feds also pay the district 85 cents per paid“What,meal.two weeks before school and we’re finding out what we’re going to make per meal?” Bilbery said. “It’s hard to plan when you don’t even know what you’re going to make per meal. And we had to have those plans done, actually a lot of our plans were done in March and April of last year. So it’s been a challenge.”

Bilbery cannot count on the school board bailing her out with extra funds from the district’s maintenance and operation (M&O) budget.
“There is no real clear trend for the future on what we’re seeing,” Bilbery said. “A lot of our food cost increases may be temporary if labor shortages in the United States get taken care of, if fuel costs come down.”
SUSD School Board President Julie Cieniawski said, “Nutrition is such an important aspect to a child’s health and well-being that we should keep these services as affordable as “Providingpossible.foodservices to our students and their families is one of many great benefits which sets us apart from the for-profit charters and the private school industry.
Likewise, she feels there are a significant number of kids who should be on the free or reduced meal plan but aren’t because the federal government has not yet updated the income eligibility guidelines yet.

• Have a caregiver who can attend all study visits MEALS from front per cartoon last year but this year it’s at 27 cents per carton. “That may only be 7 cents, but when this is indicative of the percentage increase we are seeing on all food items, it is an overwhelming increase,” Bilbery said. The district charges $2.85 per meal for elementary school and $3.10 per meal for middle school and high school. Middle school and high school students get larger portions and require more protein, per United States Department of Agriculture requirements.Abigportion of the increase cost to put out a meal comes from the cost of food,” Bilbery said. At the beginning of last year, the district typically spent $1.10 on food per meal. By the end of the year it spent about $2 per meal on the food portion, not including packaging and other non-edible items.

She doesn’t know if the federal reimbursement rate is going to stay put.
Prior to COVID, only about 24% of the district’s students we’re eligible for free or reduced cost lunches. That is significant because the federal government’s reimbursements for free and reduced meals help subsidize the cost of putting out meals for the paying kids, BilberyThatsaid.is why different school districts charge different amounts for their meals. A district with a high percentage of kids receiving free or reduced meals can afford to charge paying kids less because the district is getting more money from the federal government.Makingthe situation murkier is all the legislation being considered in Congress, Bilbery“Theresaid.is a lot of legislation floating around,” Bilbery said. “There are so many bills floating. That’s going to impact us dramatically. If they change the reimbursement rate I may not ever have to raise prices.”
The nutritional service’s department is completely funded by what it makes from meals and takes nothing from the M&O budget.Infact, it typically pays into it about $1 million dollars per year in indirect fees. But if she does raise prices down the road, she can’t raise it unilaterally. She would have to get permission from the governing board. “I would have to show why I’m raising prices,” she said.

Douglas Letter said Ward “participated in multiple aspects’’ to interfere with the electoral count that was taking place. “She told Maricopa County to stop counting ballots, and promoted inaccurate allegations of election interference by Dominion Voting Systems,’’ wrote Letter who is the general counsel for the U.S. House. And then there’s the fact that even after the state’s election results were certified showing Joe Biden won Arizona, she and others convened as electors for Donald Trump “and sent a set of unauthorized Electoral College votes to Congress that she mis-described as ‘representing the legal votes of Arizona.’ ‘’ In filing suit earlier this year, Ward argued that providing her phone records would violate her rights and those of her husband, Michael, who, like her, is a doctor. She also said it would expose her patients who go to her for weight loss. Ward also argued the Select Committee is operating illegally. But Letter told U.S. District Court Judge Diane Humetewa everything the committee did, including issuing the subpoena, complied with congressional rules. He also urged the judge to reject Ward’s claim that going after her phone records violates her First Amendment rights, including the right of “political association.’’
some exclusions may apply
GOP chair Kelli Ward has no legal right to block a U.S. House committee from getting her phone records about her activities leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, an attorney for the government is telling a federal judge.
Humetewa has set no date for a ruling. Ward and others have received a separate subpoena from the Department of Justice over their role in submitting the slate of fake electors to Congress.

“The Select Committee’s subpoena seeks records relevant to determining the root causes of the Jan. 6th insurrection against Congress, a violent attack on the seat of our nation’s government that resulted in the deaths of several law enforcement officers and deepened public distrust in our political processes,’’ Letter said. Letter said Ward has no legal standing to challenge the subpoena.
“The Select Committee is not criminally investigating the Wards or anyone else,’’ he wrote. “Nor is the Select Committee, by investigating the Jan, 6th attack trying to expose information for the sake of exposure.’’T-Mobile, the company that provides Ward’s phone, submitted its own request to have the subpoena quashed.
“The subpoena does not seek the content of any communication,’’ Letter said. Instead, he said, it seeks only the information about who Ward communicated with, when, and for how long. “None of the data reveals any speech or associational rights protected by the First Amendment, Letter told Humetewa. And even if they did – a point he is not conceding – it would be “outweighed’’ by the overwhelming interests of Congress.

BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer At age 101, Betty Grenig is the American Red Cross’ oldest volunteer, serving the nonprofit for over 80 years across the nation and even over seas.Because of her efforts, the Scottsdale woman was hon ored last year with a Presidents Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 issued by President Joe Biden.Grenig, who turns 101 tomor row, Aug. 15, said she felt “con fused” by the certificate because she felt she was just doing her patriotic duty for the past eight decades.Grenig still remembers when her mother told her she should volunteer for the Red Cross in 1939, when she was a 17-yearold high school student in Long Beach, California. Her mother had been deeply patriotic and had read a sign that the Red Cross was look ing for people who knew how to knit socks for soldiers in the Army.“You can knit Betty, get busy” were the words her mother told her that changed her life. Betty gathered six of her friends to go to the Red Cross and knit socks and caps to go under soldiers’ hel mets.“We didn’t bother with sweaters, which was too much,” she said with a laugh.However, her earliest days of volun teering provided Grenig with some of the fondest memories of her teenage years.“We always had knitting needles and whenever we were sitting, we’d get the needles and start moving,” she said.
Betty Grenig of Scottsdale turns 101 tomorrow, Aug. 15. Here she displays a certificate she re ceived from President Joe Biden thanking her for her service to the American Red Cross, where she is the nonprofit’s oldest and longest-serving volun teer. (David Minton/Progress Staff Photographer)

BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer Carrie Crary is no stranger to cancer care.Crary had worked as a nurse in the radiation department at the Phoenix Veterans Administration and had survived one bout with cancer before becoming a registered nurse. Then, in 2018, she received the news that changed her life. Crary learned that she had stage four breast cancer and the outcome didn’t look good.“Initially, I was just freaked out,” she said. “I was (having) anxiety attacks in the middle of the night and it was just dev astating being told that you only have so long to live. It was traumatizing.” Crary said she began seeing signs about alternative care that she attributes to a higher power. “God started putting things in my life that led me to start researching alternative care,” Crary said. “I went into a smoothie shop and the owner sat down with me and started talking to me about all these thera pies and different things like to take and to do as far as juicing and different things. “I sat on a bench at work at the VA and had a patient come and sit next to me and just randomly start talking to me about all these things they knew nothing about –what I’m going through – and it just kept coming at me through friends, family and strangers alike.” From there, Crary began doing her re

The good news is PAD is treatable in an office setting. Dr. Joel Rainwater, MD endovascular specialist explains, “We go into the bloodstream to find the blockage using imaging guidance. Then with small tools that can go into the smallest arteries, remove the blockage, and restore blood flow.”
Don’t wait for your feet to yell at you. If your feet hurt, they are talking to you. Our doctors can help tell you what they are saying. Does foot pain prevent you from doing your favorite activity? Do you have burning or tingling in your legs or feet? Do you have leg or foot cramps with activity or at rest? Y / N Muscle cramping, difficulty walk ing, burning, tingling, numbness, and pain in the legs or feet are symptoms of neuropathy people live with every day,” explains Dr. Kerry Zang, podi atric medical director of CIC Foot & Ankle. “The thing is PAD has very sim ilar symptoms. So similar that in many cases, people are told it’s neuropathy when it may not be.” Medicine is often prescribed. “Pills aren’t a cure, they just suppress the symptoms,” says Zang. “If neuropathy isn’t causing the symptoms, the real problem could get worse.” It’s important to determine if PAD (pe ripheral artery disease) is causing the pain or making it worse. PAD is plaque in the arteries which causes poor circulation. “Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to your feet which they need to stay healthy,” explains Zang, “When your feet aren’t get ting an adequate supply, they start send ing signals.” Those signals include pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or cramping.

Her cake is so popular with volunteers some travel from Tucson to score a slice. Grenig admits that she misses the old days when volunteers wore uniforms.
“One thing that breaks my heart is we always wore a uniform and if anybody would see one of those (uniforms) you’d be recognized,” she said. “I’ve had quite a few free lunches because people wanted to ‘thank me for all I’ve done.’”
After graduating from high school, Grenig attended Whittier College her freshman year but did not return for her sophomore year. Instead, she trekked slightly eastward to attend the University of Nevada, Reno, where she met the man who she would later marry, Robert Grenig, or Bob as most people called him. After graduating, Bob joined the army and the two wed at Ft. Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah, where Betty, again, volunteered at the local Red Cross.
Betty fondly recalled volunteering with the Red Cross to provide physical therapy to soldiers who had problems with their eyes and hands at Ft. Ord in Marina, Calif.

She also said that there is a growing need for blood donations, and that is what she cites as being the best way that anyone can help out the Red Cross. “One of the big problems we have is the ongoing (shortage of) blood and donation of blood. Blood can do so much and when you give somebody a donation of blood you may save their life,” she said. “So, I wish everybody would give blood.”
“They gave the men these big darning needles and yarn and they cut out felt animals and these men had to learn to thread that darning needle — and when you can’t see, that’s hard (to do),” Grenig said.“We had this little guy who must have been about 3 years old and he came bursting in waving an elephant saying ‘my daddy made me this’ repeatedly. His daddy was so proud that he threaded the needle. So that I got feedback and that makes you feel good to know that, that what you did wasn’t in vain and that it was appreciated.”
Bob and Betty had two children – Jay in 1943 and Carolyn two years later –and in 1961, the couple decided to finally settle down in a quiet sector of what is now considered southern Scottsdale. “They used to have the Arizona Bank, which was a great bank and it started here. They wanted to hire my husband when he retired from the Army,” Grenig said. “There were so many places to live and I wanted to just have some little place. Well, all those little places have grown.”Grenig, who still lives in the home she built in 1961, began volunteering again with the Red Cross at old Williams Air Force Base in Mesa, where she remained until 1993 when the base closed. She began volunteering at Luke Airforce Base until she formally retired in 2015 at age 94. However, she just couldn’t stay away from the Red Cross. “Now I am making packets for disaster victims,” Grenig said. “If (a family) has been in a fire, flood or whatever they get a packet that tells him where to go for what and what to do. So, I do that and anything they asked me to do.”
Betty is best known for baking desserts on the last Thursday of every month.Sheoriginally began baking brownies that were so craved by fellow volunteers that they would often rib Grenig when she wouldn’t bring her famous dessert to the office in the Biltmore Area. “I have baked for Red Cross on (the last) Thursday for I can’t tell you how many years and I have been told a couple of times by my friend ‘you forgot the brownies, you might as well go home,’” she said with a laugh.Asthe years went by, Grenig had to shelf her brownie batter and began baking her mother’s recipe for German chocolate cake. “I used to make brownies but now I have arthritis, so I can’t cut them,” Grenig said. “So figured I’d bake the cake and let them cut their own (slices.) That works fine.”
Bob’s tours of duty transported the couple across the world. He served in the Philippines, Korea and Japan.

“I also utilize Mayo Clinic and I know people do utilize Mayo Clinic and so I feel like this is a great kind of area for health care,” Crary said. Although the business name of Carrie’s Healing Cafe may sound like a restaurant, Crary admits that was by design. “It was going to be a cafe,” Crary said with a laugh. “The cafe aspect is we have a menu but it’s a menu of therapies.”
search on alternative medicine and care and she stumbled upon a book titled “Chris Beats Cancer: A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally” which introduced Crary to Gerson Therapy. That therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body’s ability to heal itself through an organic, plant-based diet, raw juices, coffee enemas and natural supplements.“Juicing is huge because that’s high nutrition that you’re just flooding your cells with which makes your immune system extremely strong,” Crary became intrigued with clinics that offered alternative medicine and discovered Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers in Cancun, Mexico. There, she began experimenting with alternative treatments for her cancer in addition to taking a drug prescribed by her doctors that targets the protein that causes her cancer to spread. After about a month of treatment in Mexico, Crary began to notice a significant improvement in how she felt mentally and physically while partaking in treatments like putting herself in a hyperbaric chamber – a pressurized oxygen chamber that floods cells with oxygen – and using heatbased detoxification. Inspired by her results, Crary purchased an infrared sauna, hypothermia unit, INDIBA radiofrequency machine, a hyperbaric chamber, therapeutic ultrasound technology, PEMF technology and Vibe Lymph Therapy.“Theinfrared sauna and hypothermia both detoxify through sweating by putting the body through heat and mimicking a fever,” Crary said. Her INDIBA machine also allows customers to lay on a grounding pad where they can use a probe to go over areas that have cancer, inflammation or an injury by creating apoptosis, which destroys cancer cells. “I try to use the hyperbaric chamber twice a week and I rotate between the two heats — the hypothermia machine and the infrared sauna — daily and then I do the near-infrared lighting daily as well,” sheBecausesaid. of this, Crary decided that she had to share her knowledge with the masses, which is why she decided to open Carrie’s Healing Cafe in May in a space nestled off of Pinnacle Peak Road and Pima Road – not far from the Mayo Clinic.
Her space also offers a cafe-like lounging room where customers can read books, chat and relax as they learn more about the science behind the services offered at Carrie’s Healing Cafe. She also wants the space to be a place for people to find positivity. “The message throughout the clinic is you working on yourself is huge while you’re going through cancer and getting that positive frame of mind and that I can do attitude will help with the fight.

BY ALEX GALLAGHER Progress Staff Writer O hm Fitness opened its first Scott sdale location on Aug. 4, com pleting a long process for the company’s founders to create its revo lutionary concept. About two and a half years ago, Ohm Fitness co-founder Eric Hamann’s partner, Jen, walked into an electrical muscle stimulation training session at a boutique in Los Angeles and raved to her husband about it. Hamann and his business partner, Doug Payne, have a successful history of launching franchises like Massage Envy, European Wax Center and Or angeHowever,Theory.Payne admits that the two initially were stymied by the prospect of franchising this concept. “At first, we were scratching our heads because I think everybody should have a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to any new concept,” Payne said. They hit the books researching the 60-year-old practices of electrical mus cle stimulation and were astounded by what they found.
“For instance, a hummus rollup is a tasty lunch that is easy for parents to prepare and for kids to eat,” Paydar said. “Spread hummus on a whole wheat tortilla and top it with a slice of turkey or ham, low-fat cheese and lettuce and then roll it up, then pack in the lunchbox along with cucumber slices and apple slices.”Forkids who like quinoa, mom or dad can mix any meats, cheeses and veggies their kids like along with plain quinoa before dressing it lightly with a basic vinaigrette dressing. “Pack the quinoa salad with pear slic es, grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls,” Paydar said. A “leftover picnic lunch” is another en joyable option that kids of all ages will like.Paydar suggests including things like leftover grilled chicken along with po tato salad or coleslaw, watermelon and broccoli with ranch dip. In addition to offering advice to par ents about healthy school lunches their kids will be eager to eat, Paydar spends a lot of time working one-on-one with patients on a variety of food and health relatedThroughconcerns.herwork at NOAH’s nutrition program, Paydar meets with children, as well as parents and grandparents. “In the pediatric population, I see chil dren for picky eating, weight manage ment, obesity, high cholesterol, anemia and poor eating habits,” she said. “Adult appointments focus on health-

“The one coming up next, is what we call ‘sweat’ — which is more of a cardio fat burn type of class where the frequency is adjusted to simulate how your muscles would move during a cardio activity,” Payne said.

The suit also allowed for flexibility in how classes were delivered. “The Empower suit is very flexible in that we can deliver a strength training class and we can adjust the frequency on the control box to simulate different modalities,” Payne said. To put their gear into use, they needed to find a location – and found one next to their European Wax Center off Thompson Peak Parkway and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. “We always knew that this was a tremendous shopping center and a tremendous area,” Payne said, “We were just fortuitous that as we were looking for space, this space became available and it felt like it was blessed and meant to be, so we ran with it.”

The vest would then be connected to a wiring harness that connected to a laptop.Because of this, most classes were individualized to where the client and instructor would work one-on-one with eachPayneother.and Hamann wrestled heavily with how to make a profitable franchise work from a workout method that only offered one-on-one instruction. Then they found an innovation. “We found a manufacturing partner that was able to create an energy box that was Bluetooth and, on top of that, the technology had emerged such that you could have what we call …the ‘Empower Suit,’” Payne said. The energy box allowed the two to develop a suit made of a flexible material that included pads that would work with the box to cause muscles to contract 85 times per second while cli-

Paydar said it is not unusual for her patients to be surprised by what they learn during the first visit.

Thom Ortiz reviving Saguaro wrestling program
Ryan Mink, a former wrestler and Saguaro parent, was surprised when his daughter told him that Saguaro did not have a wrestling program. “I was just kind of shocked and thought, ‘How’s that possible?’” Mink said. “They have a great football team and great student athletes that attend that school. How was there no wrestling?”
Mink, who is from Anchorage, Alaska, says wrestling gave him a physical outlet in the winter when it was far too cold to be outside and helped him overcome hardships he faced as a child.
“Wrestling gave me that support and an outlet,” Mink said. “I could practice the things that wrestling teaches, which is hard work, honesty, truth, discipline and a little bit of intensity to get after it.” Ortiz is thrilled with his new role. “I’m glad I’m the coach,” Ortiz said. “I’m going to do my best to get as many kids involved as we can. I believe that achievement comes in the process. If anything, I hope we can just elevate this community through wrestling.” Saguaro will have its �irst match in November.

BY MAX CAMPODALL'ORTO Cronkite News From competing in high school and college to coaching some of the top wrestlers of all time, Thom Ortiz has had an illustrious career. Then a new challenge awaited and he took it: coaching at Saguaro High School, where he wants to revive a long dormant wrestling program. Ortiz is excited to get started but to him, this is bigger than wrestling. It’s about leadership and character development for wrestlers at Saguaro.“I’mhere to educate, motivate and inspire them,” Ortiz said. “My goal is leadership more than even technique. Anyone can teach technique now. You have YouTube of great wrestlers for technique. But the real coaching comes in when you’re preparing them for after highOrtiz,school.”aTucson native, wrestled at Sunnyside High School from 1982-85 and was a two-time state champion, a two-time runner-up and three-time AllAmerican.AtArizona State, he was a three-time Pac-10 champion, three-time NCAA AllAmerican and a part of the 1988 NCAA championship team, which is ASU’s only NCAA wrestling team title. Ortiz started his coaching career as the interim coach at ASU for the 199192 season. He joined Iowa State as its head assistant from 1992-2001 before becoming the head wrestling coach at ASU, where he was a three-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year and led the Sun Devils to three conference championships. Ortiz has coached several notable wrestlers, including four-time national champion and the only undefeated wrestler in NCAA Division I history, Cale Sanderson; the 2010-11 individual NCAA champion, Anthony Robles; and former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.“Ihavea lot of gratitude for Saguaro and (athletic director) Matt Harris for deciding to implement this program,” Ortiz said. “They’re always doing what’s best for the kids.”’ Ortiz hopes that he can help develop high character individuals with life skills that can carry them far past high school wrestling.Hecredits wrestling for helping him persevere through rough parts of his childhood. When he was 15, his brother passed away. “That was a traumatic situation for me and back then we didn’t really get counseling,” Ortiz said. “It was just mostly like you mourn and get through it. What helped me get through it was wrestling.”
After a storied career in high school and at Arizona State, Thom Ortiz is excited to take on the challenge of reviving the Saguaro High School wrestling program.

Mink was president of the Saguaro Wrestling Club, which gave student athletes the opportunity to wrestle while there was no AIA sanctioned program at the school. Ortiz credited Mink for helping spearhead the program’s revival.
“I have a lot of gratitude for Saguaro and (athletic director) Matt Harris for deciding to implement this program. They’re always doing what’s best for the kids.”
The Sabercats’ basketball program has been on the rise since hiring head coach Lucas Ramirez, who brings a young �lare to the program that won a region title for the �irst time in years in 2020. In the fall, the football program has become a national power, while the spring is dominated by baseball, softball and track, all of which have made postseason runs. While Saguaro rivals big schools in some sports – most notably football –it still relies on multi-sport athletes to �ield other teams. Harris believes the wrestling team won’t have a problem �illing out its roster. “We’re happy our students have another opportunity to compete,” he said. “We get quite a few football players who want wrestling to be their second sport, but we also have young athletes in our school who do wrestling as their primary sport and they’re just glad to see it coming back.”

Harris is excited for there to be another competitive sport added to the winter sports season, and it will only add to the legacy Saguaro has and is still currently building in Scottsdale.
Museum of the West partners with NASA
ANASA astronomical imaging kiosk is an unlikely bedfellow with the Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Mu seum of the West. Thanks to the Smithsonian Astrophysi cal Observatory and NASA, the museum has taken on a new approach to art en gagement.Afterwandering through the histori cal art exhibits such as Edward S. Cur tis’ masterful portrait collection, and Paul Calle’s “From the Mountains to the Moon” exhibit of sketch to paintings, the NASA kiosk paints a new perspective. “Paired with the artwork for Paul Calle’s famous moon landing postage stamp, the NASA kiosk welcomes guests to create their own space art,” said mu seum Development Director Dr. Michael L. Zirulnik.
Singer raises funds, awareness for veterans
Through Aug. 31, “Observing with NASA” or OWN, will offer an informal and interactive learning experience for museum visitors, education profession als, and young audiences looking to learn something new. For the first time, Arizona residents can see what astrophotography is really like.By creating a personal masterpiece of the cosmos, engaging with robotic telescope image analysis, and exploring much more of the universe from a single screen, OWN aims to spark curiosity. “The NASA kiosk illustrates how art and science are integral in communicat ing exploration, while investigating new frontiers,” Zirulnik continues.

Previously, he collected funds for Chrysalis, AHCF and Ari zona Cancer Foundation for Chil dren.“Irecently donated my time at Chrysalis, which works with do mestic violence survivors,” he says. “I went during a time when people were eating and played songs. Once I started playing, this little girl got closer and closer—then she got really close. Music brings out the best inRunningpeople.” 100 miles in one day was the goal; he stopped at 81. He longed to fin ish, so three days later he did just that. “I’ve been pretty beat up since then,” he says with a laugh. “But seriously, I find it so fulfilling. It gives me extra motivation to work out and be physical. Whenever I do any of these things, personally, I grow a lot. I learned a lot about myself and pushing through tough times.”

At first thought, art and space wouldn’t be connected. The OWN kiosk, however, proves that it is the opposite. As Zirulnik states, art is necessary in space exploration and discovery. OWN has six educational exercises that use real NASA data to provide a surreal interaction. People can find Apollo sites 11-17 by searching for small details on the moon’s surface and reveal images by using “invisible light.”

OWN is a perfect complement to Paul Calle’s exhibit, specifically his iconic oil painting “The Great Moment,” a depiction of Neil Armstrong’s first step on the moon’s surface. The painting explores textures and the vast darkness that surrounded Armstrong. “We are so happy to be given the opportunity for OWN to be in our museum. When the opportunity came up, the first thing we thought of was that big painting of the moon landing. It’s exactly what was needed to bring a modern life to the exhibit.”
Objects, landscapes, gases and other features that originally are invisible can be seen with added light and other expansive editing software. Guests also can observe planet rotation and animate the images over time and use processing tools to enhance and colorize galaxies, the sun and moon, Jupiter and Mars. They can also combine multiple images to visualize the vibrant colors emitted by objects in space. The last bit of the OWN kiosk is a robotic telescope. Museum visitors can remotely send commands to a real-time telescope somewhere in the world and the image will be emailed to them as soon as its able to snap a good shot of the sky. Discover celestial objects, change the color filters and exposure times to create your own unique photo. Zirulnik is excited for this feature saying he “couldn’t wait to get the telescope images in my inbox.”

The horn section adds so much energy.”Several years ago, Perreira decided to consistently release music, longing not to have gaps in release dates. “I don’t make enough money to be able to invest the time and money into putting out a full-length album every year, which is what I would want to do,” he says. “I have tons of tunes. I release something three to 10 times a year, whether it’s a single or an album or whatever. I have two singles ready to drop. I just don’t know when I’m going to do it. I may do fall and winter. I have enough music to get me through this year and all of next year.”The plan works for Perreira and allows him to feel like he has forward momentum with Perreiramusic.never felt like he was a bad guy, but “I definitely could have done better.” In prison for four months because of his DUI convictions, Perreria ran his first marathon. “I was this crazy white gringo running laps all day, but I needed to focus on something,” he says. “I said, ‘Let me break this down. What would a marathon be? Oh, 26.2 miles. That would be 102 laps.’
On Father’s Day 2018, he ran 26.2 miles in prison.” When he got out, he figured he would promote his record by running and performing at the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. Forty-five minutes after he finished, he was on stage performing with his band. “I was devastated afterward,” he says now with a laugh. “My feet were throbbing, and the band was like, ‘Are we doing this again?’ I said, ‘Hell no.’” That, in turn, has lifted up every other aspect of his life. “My business has gone up,” he says. “My songwriting has gone up. My original music reach has gone up. My relationship with my fiancée has improved. I really want to surround myself with positive people and people who are moving in a certain direction.”

Damas then focused on the other task she had been juggling amidst opening the retail store: opening an ice cream trailer, where her 12-year-old twin sons, Brody and Brayden, work. Around the same time, she came up with the idea of her retail space, Damas noticed the influx of children coming in and out of the Aqua-Tots next door to her restaurant and retail space. She began thinking about a way to serve kids and parents looking for a quick treat. As someone who got her start in farmers markets, Damas devised the idea of purchasing a trailer and serving iceWithcream.the idea in mind and a trailer purchased, Damas’ next task was to find someone who could help her make ice cream.Damas wanted to incorporate her baked goods – like her famous peach cobbler, bourbon pecan pie and apple pie – into ice cream. So she called upon Tempe-based ice cream and gelato manufacturer William “Doc” Brown, who owns Doc’s Artisan Ice Creams and whom Damas met over a decade ago during her days at the Phoenix Farmer’s Market.

Damas got to work clearing out the space and converting it into a boutique inspired by the shops that can be fre quented in southern cities like Savan nah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, stocked full of SugarJambranded merchandise and crafts made by local artisans.
“I not only have our stuff that is branded SugarJam – like hats, bags and t-shirts. I also have gifts that are locally made,” Damas said. “I support local ven dors and then I support smaller busi nesses that are throughout the country that are like mom and pops that are making things as long as I don’t see that it’s sold on Amazon.”
