• Scottsdale Invests Millions in Roads: Here's What Changed (signalsaz.com) — Scottsdale has just wrapped up its expanded Fall 2025 paving season, pouring $18.5 million into smoother streets, alleys, and parking lots citywide, including $7 million focused on Old Town. Crews resurfaced more than 1.5 million square yards of pavement, carefully phasing work in Old Town to preserve access for businesses, visitors, and nearby neighborhoods.
   

• In my own words: Zeth Theus (on3.com subscription) — A standout defensive back who began his varsity career at Scottsdale’s Saguaro High School is staying in-state to play for ASU, carrying two state titles and major awards with him. He explains how his time at Saguaro and Liberty shaped his work ethic, why ASU’s “Activate the Valley” push resonated, and how he plans to earn NIL rewards rather than chase quick money.
