For Town of Paradise Valley sisters Saya and Sona Sahai, volunteering has always been something their family did together. They would make meals, volunteer their time and look for ways to help others in their community.

The experience was rewarding for the family, and the sisters wanted other young people to have the same opportunity while expanding the impact they could make together, they said.

That idea became the Seva Club, a youth service organization that gives junior high and high school students opportunities to volunteer and make a difference in their community.

Wondering why Democrats are listed first on your ballot?

Or perhaps vice versa?

It’s not part of any conspiracy or even some bit of political intrigue.

But questions remain about whether how the ballot order is set in Arizona is fair — and whether those listed first have a small but potentially significant advantage.

Arizona voters will decide in November whether certain school districts should be required to direct at least 60% of their operational spending to direct instructional expenses, a proposal supporters say would put more education dollars into classrooms and district officials warn could force difficult tradeoffs among services that support students.

Prop. 320, referred to the ballot by the Legislature as Senate Concurrent Resolution 1032, would apply to districts with at least 7,500 students or districts operating in a county with at least 500,000 residents.

In a winding Town of Paradise Valley neighborhood, a Spanish-style house sits among greenery and desert foliage.

Beyond its circular drive follow the stone-paved path to a casita with large wooden windows letting the sun streak through, vines climbing its walls and views of the golden Arizona mountains.

It's here that Paradise Valley’s newest artist in residence, Martin Galbut, has made his studio for decades.

Scottsdale Unified School District could soon be teaching other districts’ high need students.

The governing board unanimously approved during its Sept. 8 meeting a tuition plan that would allow the district to take students requiring Level D services from other districts.

After Pima Elementary school was shut down for the start of this school year as a cost saving measure, the district put all of its students requiring Level D services in the building.

Town of Paradise Valley Council unanimously approved five-year restrictions on road cuts and excavations on recently resurfaced sections of Scottsdale Road and Invergordon Road during its Sept. 10 meeting.

The new restrictions are intended to prevent newly resurfaced pavement from being repeatedly cut open for utility work and other excavations, which can lead to traffic disruptions, pavement damage and uneven patches, according to town documents.

Tucked in next to a high-end jeweler and across the road from a luxury beauty salon on Scottsdale’s famous Main Street sits a considerably more casual establishment.

Some may say the Rusty Spur Saloon doesn’t fit in with some of the other businesses on the street but it’s actually the other way around.

The bar was around long before any of those other businesses came. In fact, Rusty Spur Saloon is celebrating its 75th year in business this month.
