Remembering ... John Teets By Bill Dougherty

To many in the civic and charitable world John Teets was a true maverick. He passed away surrounded by his family several weeks ago after illness. John was a man who truly believed in making the Valley a better place for everyone. I was first introduced to John and his lovely wife, Nancy, many years ago when I was still a reporter for Trends. I remember thinking how distinguished and dapper he was. He truly looked the part of a CEO. He was chief executive for Dial and Greyhound corporations in the 1980s and 1990s. He was also a Trends Fabulous Phoenician and one our Best Dressed Men. But that was just one side to this man among men. John had a drive to make our community the best place it could be. He held everyone he worked with responsible for making fine things in the worlds of commerce and charitable entities alike. On a hot afternoon later in the summer, hundreds of people from all walks of our city gathered at Scottsdale Bible Church to stop and remember a remarkable man. Great friends, colleagues and family memorialized John in beautiful and touching way. John Teets was a true empire builder. He was a man who believed in purpose as well as solution. He will be missed by so many facets of our community for the tireless work he and his great family did here for decades.

ARTIST PROFILE

Russian Impressionism at Overland Gallery By Bill Macomber Portrait of My Wife

Overland Gallery on Scotts dale’ s Main Street for many years now has been a pipeline for Russian paintings that span the 1930s to the 1990s. The gallery introduced 20th-century Russian art to the Valley in 1991, featuring paintings by some of the most renowned artists in the former Soviet Union.

Hay Making Misha in White Sweater

Annual shows from January through mid-April often include works by Sergei P. and Aleksei P. Tkachev, Vladimir Stozharov, Igor Popov and Viktor Lapin, among other noted artists. In the past few years, the popularity of Russian art of this period has proliferated throughout the United States, aided by Overland lending major paintings to museums. Russia harnessed the creative genius of an entire generation of artists during the post-revolutionary period. Beginning in 1934, “Socialist Realism” became the official artistic style of the U.S.S.R. The official style required that artists be convincing interpreters of real-

ity. Locked behind the Iron Curtin, Soviet artists were prohibited from pursuing the avant-garde impulses that had occupied many revolution-era Russian artists in the first third of the twentieth century. In this insular environment evolved one of the most inspired and significant bodies of realist art the world had ever encountered. Completion of an advanced six-year degree was of great importance to gain acceptance into the Soviet Artist Union. Students who received a high grade on their diploma work were automatically accepted into the Union. The result of all this formal training and its philosophical underpinnings in realism made for an amazing body of work. In some ways, these Russian artists kept alive the realism that much of the 20th century skipped over in search of the new and the abstract. The paintings are powerful, well crafted and full of soul.

Overland Gallery is located at 7155 E. Main St., Scottsdale. 480.947.1934 or overlandgallery.com

SPOTLIGHT ON THE TCF

In support of Teach for America In our country today, many children growing up in low-income urban and rural communities are several grade levels behind their higher income peers – not because they can’t succeed but because they haven’t been given the opportunity to do so. Teach for America’s mission is to build the movement to eliminate this educational inequity. For the last 20 years, Teach for America has been recruiting, selecting, and training talented college graduates and professionals to teach in schools in low-income communities. These teachers, also known as corps members, are leading their students to high levels of academic achievement and proving that students from low-income communities can succeed on an absolute scale when given the opportunities they deserve and the necessary additional support. This school year, there are more than 8,200 corps members working in 39 regions across the country, including Phoenix. Additionally, Teach for America’s 20,000 alumni are working in a variety of professional fields to continue to work on behalf of kids and families in low-income communities. Teach for America began placing corps members in Phoenix in 1994. This school year, there are more than 300 corps members teaching in over 100 schools across the Valley and collectively reaching nearly 17,000 students. These corps members teach in grades pre-K through 12 and in all subject areas, including high-need subjects like math, science, and special education. “Our corps members are focused on providing a transformative education for their students,” said Pearl Chang Esau, executive director of Teach for America’s Phoenix region and a 2003 corps member who taught fifth grade in Los Angeles. “They work relentlessly to lead their students to academic achievement and to put them on paths to college and life success.”

TRENDS MAGAZINE

Silvio Delgado, a 2007 Phoenix corps member, continues to teach at his original placement school, Valley View Elementary School, in the Roosevelt School District.

At the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, Kyle Quadrios’ class of second, third, and fourth graders with autism was reading and doing math at a kindergarten level. By setting high expectations and focusing on basic social skills through the year, he led his students to two years of academic growth in just one school year. Additionally, more than half of his students were able to attend general education classes for at least 30 minutes a day. In Arizona there are more than 550 Teach for America alumni working across all sectors to expand opportunities for kids growing up in low-income communities. Last year, Teach for America alumnus Robert Kelty was named Coconino County Superintendent of Schools. Kelty, a former Arizona Teacher of the Year, began his teaching career in New Mexico and before assuming his superintendent role taught fourth grade at Puente de Hozho Elementary School in Flagstaff. Teach for America’s founder, Wendy Kopp, who proposed the idea for the organiza-

tion in her undergraduate thesis, visited Phoenix in April to attend an event honoring T. Denny Sanford for his leadership and dedication to education reform. She also discussed her new book, ”A Chance to Make History,” in which she discusses what she has learned over the last two decades about the solutions to educational inequity. As a nonprofit organization, Teach for America relies on public and private sources of support, including corporations, foundations, and individuals. The Trends Charitable Foundation sponsors 10 corps members in the Valley to support their training and professional development. For more information about Teach for America’s work in Phoenix or to find out how you can support the organization, please visit www.teachforamerica.org/about-us/ regions/phoenix/ or contact Pearl Chang Esau at pearl.esau@teachforamerica.org or at 602.304.0211.

on my mind

Sweating into nice clothes By Bill Macomber Sadly, my stepfather passed away in his upper 80s last fall. My mother, ever on the lookout for her children, sent me boxes of his clothes. My stepfather was a clotheshorse, God bless him. He shopped in Europe and on London’s Savile Row. In the boxes were some very nice slacks, including a pair of velvety brown pants made in Germany. The pants have secret pockets in the lining. I didn’t know Germans even made pants.

stepfather what for me would be a down payment on a used car. I wept when I tried on those loafers and found them a half size too small for me. I gave them to a friend who was feeling lonely and told him, “Wear these loafers and you’ll meet a nice girl, I promise.” He sold them on eBay, the rat. He has more money but he’s still lonely.

There were great shirts, nice sweaters and a cool jacket or two. Also included were a few pairs of racy shoes – my stepdad ran Porsches and Ferraris on amateur tracks until my mother put her foot down 15 or so years ago.

It’s funny how life works, because not long after all those nice clothes arrived at my doorstep I got a second job. It’s nothing fancy. I’m in the credit card fraud unit at a huge call center of a major U.S. retailer. Preventing fraud, not committing it. This big industrial complex has a strict dress code. No jeans Monday through Thursday, and no T-shirts or shorts anytime. Sneakers not allowed.

There was one pair of beautiful creamy brown Prada loafers that probably cost my

I’m getting pretty long in the tooth to launch a new career, but I’ve always heard

that clothes make the man and I should dress for the job I want, not the job I have. So I’ve been putting my stepfather’s handme-downs to good use. I am probably the best-dressed call center employee in Arizona, maybe in the United States. Here’s the funny thing: I always thought it would be crazy to own nice clothes in a climate like this. Why would anyone want to sweat into expensive pants? But wearing the clothes to work the past few weeks has been illuminating. Nice trousers make me feel aerated. My body actually sweats less when I wear good shirts. It’s afraid to perspire into expensive fabric, probably. This is why the rich never let us see them sweat. Apparently the phrase “cold hard cash” means literally that. Where there’s money there’s almost always a refreshing breeze blowing nearby.

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

The 2011 CopaBall The CopaBall will be held Oct. 15 at the Arizona Biltmore to benefit the Maricopa Health Foundation and Maricopa Integrated Health System. The evening will include a fabulous silent auction and dinner. Guests will posthumously honor Phil Wedzik with the Joey Ridenour Nursing Excellence Award and Dr. Kote Chundu with the J. Kipp Charlton Physician Excellence Award. Event chairs this year are Lee Allen, Michelle Loudenslager, Debbie Kimberly and Lisa Lowrie. Why did you choose to co-chair this year’s CopaBall? After learning more about Maricopa Integrated Health System and having the opportunity to tour Maricopa Medical Center, we realized that this is about more than one hospital. We saw Maricopa Health Foundation’s donations at work in places like the Arizona Children’s Center and many others. Who will benefit from this year’s gala? Proceeds from the event will be used to touch the lives of countless patients and their loved ones. The mission of Maricopa Health Foundation is to provide

philanthropic support of MIHS programs. This year the CopaBall is placing a special emphasis on helping its youngest patients. What can people expect at this year’s event? CopaBall attendees will be guided through stories from the hospital’s departments and learn how their attendance shines hope in what may have been a critical hour in another person’s life. A silent auction and cocktails will begin the evening, followed by dinner. Where did the name “CopaBall” originate? CopaBall is a play off Maricopa. Also the first gala was called the Copa Cabana, and although that theme did not continue, using the prefix Copa has endured. How has the event grown? The Maricopa Health Foundation is now determined to support Maricopa Integrated Health System’s stellar patient care. Creating a strong public hospital system is beneficial to the entire community. Tickets are $350 per person. For more information on tables or sponsorships please contact Mallory Loring at 602.274.1988 or by e-mail at mloring@gcjpr.com.

INTERVIEW

10 Questions for … Kenny Rogers Kenny Rogers will be performing at the Phoenix Symphony’s fundraiser The Concert and the Encore on Oct. 29 at the Phoenix Convention Center. We asked him a few onkey questions. What’s your idea of perfect happiness? Being with my family – they always come first – but secondarily, being in a recording studio with a song I know is great. Who inspired your craft? I think Ray Charles as a singer, and the success of Johnny Cash and Elvis inspired me and gave me the confidence that I wanted to be successful like they were. And Frank Sinatra. I know when I started out and when offers were made to me, I used to ask myself, “Would Sinatra do this? Would Johnny Cash or someone of that stature do something like this?” That’s how I always made my decisions. What do you consider the greatest decade for you occupation? Starting with the 10-year period after the release of “Lucille.” I had the best songs that songwriters were writing, the best producers producing, and we seemed to have our finger on the pulse. That’s when it’s great fun. What 7 people living or dead, would you invite to your dinner party? George Burns, Johnny Cash, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, Martin Luther King Jr., Dottie West and Michael Jackson. Where would you like to live? I’m happy where I am in Georgia. I wouldn’t move if I could. Who do you consider to be today’s most influential performer or group? She’s not a performer or a group, but I would say Oprah is the most influential. As far as artists are concerned, I would say Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw. What are your most cherished possessions? Aside from my family, my People’s Choice Awards. When do you fib or exaggerate? Never when it changes the truth – only when it improves the story. What’s your worst habit or guilty pleasure? Sweets of all kinds. Who are your everyday heroes? I would say the women and the men in the military. I think they’re the most underappreciated people in this country.

2010/2011 Grant Recipients Crisis Nursery’s Community Shelter and Day Respite p rograms’ goal is to stabilize families in crisis. Children living in families with multiple problems – lack of financial resources, mental illness, single parents, homelessness or unstable housing, domestic violence, lack of education, incarceration - are at high risk for abuse and neglect, especially when parents are faced with difficult, stressful situations. Having the option to voluntarily place their children in a safe, nurturing environment while crises are resolved empowers parents to make positive cisions for their families, even when times are toughest. 602.273.7363 www.crisisnurseryphx.org

Jewish Family & Children’s Services provides specialized programs in behavioral health, geriatrics, prevention, and family violence, without regard to age, gender, faith, ethnicity or income. Shelter Without Walls was created in 1998 to address the unmet needs of survivors of domestic violence (female or male) and their children, who are residing outside of a shelter setting and are struggling to attain and/or maintain safety and independence. The program benefits survivors by ensuring the support, safety planning, legal advocacy, and linkage to resources necessary to attain/maintain safety and independence. 602.279.7655 www.jfcsaz.org

LIFE BY DESIGN

A kaleidoscope of hip-hop color By Marcie Saban

My project consisted of a sun-splashed contemporary home on the desert, starting from scratch with several productive and enjoyable meetings with my clients. I was then able to choose the direction of my creativity. Our mutual love of travel, beauty, music, theatrics and glamour would be the correct direction for this new project. My clients wanted an entirely white environment along with bright white artificial lighting. I recommended kicking it up a notch or two with a kaleidoscope of color, using significant pieces of artwork and accessories from various parts of the world. I really enjoy characterizing a room this way for each individual project. I treasure and appreciate each client. Their environment should truly be a representation of their life experiences, wonderful memories and much happiness for years to come. Your home should give you the feeling that it is wrapping its arms around you as a loved one would. On a recent trip to South America with my clients, we were inspired to create an additional business relating to my design business. We will import a high-quality line of unique rugs, including wall coverings and

fabrics to enhance our interior environment. I am truly excited about this new venture and will share the beauty with you in the very near future.

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

VMLC Luncheon The 2011 Veteran’s Medical Leadership Council Heroes One and All Luncheon chairman is Rita Brock-Perini. She is the VMLC Council vice president. This year’s luncheon will be held Nov. 4 at the Arizona Biltmore. What makes the Heroes One and All Luncheon so special? This is a once-a-year chance for the VMLC and community to honor military personnel who serve or have served in our nation’s armed forces. The luncheon is the annual fundraiser for VMLC to generate funds to support needed services for our returning warriors and veterans. What is the VMLC and how does one become a member? The VMLC is a group of wartime veterans who are dedicated to helping returning troops and veterans receive the medical care and rehabilitation they need to resume civilian life. We assist them with the challenges they face.

TRENDS MAGAZINE

What are your plans for this year’s luncheon? We will honor seven heroes representing seven U.S. conflicts and who will serve as marshals for this year’s Veteran’s Day parade. Honorary chair is John Dawson, and our speaker is Lt. Gen. Ron Blanck, U.S. Army (Ret.), former U.S. Surgeon General and commander of the Army Medical Command. How will the funds raised at the luncheon be used? The VMLC funds and magages the Returning Warrior Fund, which offers a safety net for returning troops needing financial assistance with basic needs that fall outside the Veterans Medical Center guidelines. We also contribute to other organizations that help the troops. Why do you continue to chair the luncheon? As a Vietnam veteran of the U.S. Air Force (Nurse Corps), I am dedicated to assuring that no U.S. troops ever return to U.S. soil and experience the indifference that met Vietnam veterans.

Margot Knight You have been a wonderful wife and mother, a great friend, an active community leader, and you are always fashionable … always. When you were invited to go on a fishing trip on the Bitterroot River a couple of years ago, true to form, you purchased the most current and stylish fishing duds and then had them tailored to perfection. I smile when I recall the seamstress saying that she had done a lot of work on designer clothing but that this was the first time she had ever worked on designs by Orvis and Simms. Congratulations sweetheart. Ballroom to Bitterroot, you are always a trendsetter. Love, Dennis CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

Dress for Success In 2009, Lisa Doromal realized the need for job training and work attire for low-income women in Phoenix seeking employment. That’s when she decided to launch Dress for Success, an organization dedicated to creating paths to self-sufficiency so lowincome women are able to thrive in careers and in the community. Suit for the Stars: A Toast to Success is the organization’s first gala, scheduled Oct. 27 at Firesky Resort. Deborah Bateman is this year’s honorary chair.

Deborah, what compelled you to agree to be the honorary chair? The offer struck my heart. All the pieces and the parts were there. I believe that every woman should have the ability to be selfsufficient and successful. Dress for Success supports the women of our community and executes on this belief ... when I learned who they were and what they did, I could not say no. It is the best of synergy and serendipity.

St. Vincent de Paul’s Restoring Hope Breakfast What makes this event different? Restoring Hope is the largest fundraising breakfast in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It was attended by more than 2,200 guests last year. This year’s St. Vincent de Paul’s breakfast is planned for Nov. 17 at, where else, the Arizona Biltmore. The breakfast is free, but the fundraising is critical in helping this community. This year’s chairing duties are going to Derrick Hall, president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, along with his wife, Amy. What does St. Vincent de Paul do and what is the Restoring Hope Breakfast? St. Vincent de Paul provides comprehensive services for the homeless and working poor of central and northern Arizona. The Restoring Hope breakfast is our fundraising event where the community is invited to learn more about the organization and how they can partner with St. Vincent de Paul.

TRENDS MAGAZINE

Why should people attend? People who attend will hear real stories of people who have received help from St. Vincent de Paul. The people that St. Vincent de Paul serves are regular people who are going through difficult situations. Why did you decide to chair this event? Our family has been supporting and volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul for years. Through our own experiences, we’ve seen the great impact that St. Vincent de Paul has on the community. In addition to meeting basic needs, the staff and volunteers reach out with compassion and genuine love to lift spirits and improve lives.

What keeps you involved with St. Vincent de Paul? In an economy where many families are experiencing financial hardship, St. Vincent de Paul continues to be on the front lines with emergency food boxes, dental and health care, rental assistance, dining rooms and other services to meet basic needs. We are supporting a safety net that thousands of families count on each day. Why should someone support St. Vincent de Paul? St. Vincent de Paul is one of the most efficient and effective nonprofits in Phoenix. It provides the best set of comprehensive services to meet basic needs so that people who receive help can take care of their families, work toward self-sufficiency and contribute to society.

Spotlight on the Phoenix Art Museum “Bare Witness: Photographs by Gordon Parks” spans the glamorous and the ghetto – two extremes the noted photographer knew well. Perhaps best recognized for his works chronicling the African-American experience, Parks was also an accomplished fashion photographer. Featuring 73 works specifically selected by Parks for the collection of the Capital Group, the show includes heart-wrenching images, iconic moments, celebrities and slices of everyday life. “Bare Witness” features many of Parks’ most memorable images such as “American Gothic.” The photograph depicts a black cleaning woman named Ella Watson stand-

ing stiffly in front of an American flag, a mop in one hand and a broom in the other. Also included in the exhibition is a series of photos from Parks’ most famous Life magazine essay about Flavio da Silva, a malnourished and asthmatic boy living in a Rio de Janeiro slum. Portraits, including Muhammad Ali, will also be on view. The second show, “The Bridge at Hoover Dam: Photographs by Jamey Stillings,” features photographs taken between March 2009 and January 2011, when Stillings spent 39 days at the site. He visited the bridge at all hours of the day and night, rented helicopters for aerial shots and gained permission to access restricted areas. Stillings’ goal was to acknowledge the talents and labors of those who had built the bridge and to

place the bridge within the historical context of Hoover Dam and the American West. Parks’ work will hang through Nov. 6. The Stillings show will run through Dec. 4. The museum is located at 1625 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. 602.257.1222. www.phxart.org.

Heard Museum Spotlight Make plans to see more of Arizona’s official state neckwear in one room than has been spotted in the Grand Canyon State in years. The Heard’s new exhibit, “Native American Bolo Ties: Vintage and Contemporary,” opens in November. The bolo tie has emerged from exile in grandpa’s dresser drawer to enjoy a fashion comeback. The bolo ties included in this show come from the Heard’s permanent collection of more than 170 bolo ties and from the promised gift of Chicago collector Norman L. Sandfield. His collection consists of more than 1,000 bolo ties, scarf slides and ephemera, many of which will be on display. Additional works will also likely be on display as the show gels into its final form, borrowed from other private collections and museums. Merle Haggard

At the Linen Tree we like to look at the Hostess Gift as a way of celebrating hospitality and showing thanks, not just as a means of fulfilling social obligations. With this spirit in mind, we remain an active participant in the Care Card program, a local initiative designed to raise funds for Ryan House. Ryan House is a charity that provides pediatric palliative care to children with terminal illnesses. Rather than going the traditional route of research into the unknown, Ryan House helps some of Arizona’s most special children and their families make the most of their final days together. This is done by creating a welcoming, fun environment where these children can truly be themselves among others like them. Parents get needed breaks from life’s stresses, while the kids receive care from an affectionate nursing staff. Emphasis is placed on celebrating what remains of life instead of on extending it. But the kicker is that there are indications that these two objectives go hand in hand. A study detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine found that terminal cancer patients who received palliative care early on, as opposed to receiving only standard treatments, lived twice as long. The Care Card goes on sale at the Linen Tree in mid-September. Each card costs $50 and entitles the buyer to 20 percent off of all merchandise at the Linen Tree and hundreds of other participating retailers Oct. 14-23. The Linen Tree is located at 6137 N.

PETS OF THE MONTH

Baby

BE MORE THAN NOTICED.

Baby is a clever kitty who always thinks outside of the box, and his previous family reports that he is toilet trained! Not only is he a genius but he is also an extremely affectionate tuxedo kitty who likes to talk and enjoys cuddling even more. The 1-year-old has long legs and a slender body and is capable of giving the best leg rubs ever. Brought to the Arizona Humane Society due to landlord restrictions, Baby now waits for a new family to love. During the day he prefers to nap in an oversized decorative kitty bed. Social and gregarious, he is great with dogs (of all sizes), cats and children as well, but a wise owner will introduce him to the family slowly to ensure a good match.

Kiko The realization of being homeless sank in quickly when this boxer mix arrived at the Arizona Humane Society, and moments after saying goodbye to the only owner he’s ever known, Kiko timidly crawled through the shelter to his assigned kennel. It was Wednesday, and if he were at home he would’ve spent the morning mingling with other dogs at the dog park and the afternoon on the couch napping. At the age of 5, this mellow dog simply wants to sleep at the foot of a loving owner’s bed, go for a walk around the neighborhood each morning, chew on rawhides, lay in the sunshine on a cool day, roll in the cool grass and receive a good belly rub. Being a middle-aged dog means he is experienced and well-mannered. He knows the house rules, is leash and housetrained and has a firm grip on all of the basic commands.

2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited By Joe Golfen

Let’s just face facts: Gas prices aren’t going down anytime soon. But with beautiful compacts cars like the Hyundai Elantra hitting the market, this might not be such a bad thing. This new Elantra boasts an EPA rating of 29 mpg city/40 highway, up nearly 20 percent from the previous model. And while Hyundai was once a footnote in the Asia car market, the company has managed to show they can give Honda, Nissan and Toyota a run for their money.

Arizona residents receive 25% off spa treatments at the world-renowned Golden Door Spa. R eserve your experience by calling 480.595.3500. BR.Trends6.20.11Spa.indd 1

6/16/11 2:45:15 PM

Despite its fuel-miser numbers, the 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine still cranks out 148-horses, giving the car a nice surge of power. Hyundai hasn’t quite worked out the clunky transmission, which leads to a few awkward downshifts, but mostly it’s a smooth ride.

The handling was especially impressive, making good use of the Elantra’s low profile. Exterior design has long been the downfall of many small cars. But with the Elantra, Hyundai has managed to create a car that is youthful and edgy while still refined. Designed to look as fluid as possible, the body style of the Elantra is seductively handsome. Inside, the Elantra offers the right amount of creature comforts, feeling luxurious and utilitarian without being overly showy. Six airbags, power windows, heated mirrors, XM satellite radio and electronic stability control all come standard. The Hyundai Elantra proves that the compact car is nothing to fear. With enough power to satisfy that need for speed, and a body style that’ll look sharp for work and play, the Elantra manages to be both practical and joyful.
