Gil Gifford, a Scottsdale Army veteran, won the City of Scottsdale’s William P.

Schraeder Volunteer Award in December and now leads a weekly Friendship Group at Granite Reef Senior Center at 10 a.m. He cohosted the Entertainment Extravaganza on April 23 and will turn 90 next month (a milestone that shows his lasting energy).

An American Lung Association report from April 23 showed that Maricopa and Pinal counties earned failing grades in ozone and particulate pollution, placing Phoenix among the most polluted regions in the nation.

Rising ozone levels—linked to climate change, wildfires and heavy traffic—are causing health risks for local residents.
