MEET OUR
HeroesLocal
The Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce
is proud to join the Palm Springs Fire Department in honoring the following brave men who serve our community every day
CAPTAIN CHAD BLASECK
2019 Firefighter of the Year
Captain Chad Blaseck was nominated by the members of the department and selected by the awards committee as the 2019 Firefighter of the Year.
• Distinguished service to the people of Palm Springs
• Heroism
On the morning of February 14, 2019, a high school student swept away by flooding was trapped on a small island. His position was life-threatening, as the water levels began to rise and the island deteriorated. The Palm Springs Fire Department assembled a swift-water response that included six swift-water techs and an inflatable boat.
Multiple unsuccessful attempts were made by the rescuers, including trying to swim in the fast-moving, debris-filled water. A tension diagonal rope was what would make this rescue possible, but the width of the floodwaters was over 200 feet and firefighters had no way to get the line across that distance.
Captain Blaseck put himself in grave danger as he used a golf cart bridge to get close enough to receive a throw from the other side—this after witnessing the same type of golf cart bridge failing and being washed downriver just moments before. The other five rescuers each received a Meritorious Service Award for the rescue, which was made possible by the efforts of Captain Blaseck.
CAPTAIN JUSTIN HARVEY
2020 Firefighter of the Year
Captain Justin Harvey was nominated by the members of the department and selected by the awards committee as the 2020 Firefighter of the Year.
• Distinguished service at all times to the people of Palm Springs in and/or beyond the call of duty
• Outstanding work in promoting fire protection and life safety within the city of Palm Springs
• Origination of a program/idea/ tool that is highly beneficial to the fire department and/or the city of Palm Springs
• Above-average technical knowledge; participation in fire educational programs; teaching in fire science programs
It was on January 13 of last year that Captain Harvey assumed the newly created role of training captain. He was subsequently able to achieve far more than the first-year goals and objectives set by the training division. Harvey worked tirelessly on developing a fire training program to not only improve the department as a whole but most importantly to ensure local firefighters are given every opportunity to go home safely to their families.
Captain Harvey was able to research and ensure compliance with federal and state mandates, thereby guaranteeing the Palm Springs Fire Department continues to meet all required standards and training through Cal OSHA, FAA, REMSA, ISO, and CICCS. He was able to create a comprehensive task book for engineer, captain, and battalion chief positions. He updated both the probationary firefighter trimester test and the engineer certification process. He also achieved Palm Springs Fire Department compliance with NFPA 1410 by establishing company performance standards. The 2020 Live Burn Drill was a success because of Harvey’s efforts in preparing the site for a safe training burn for the department members and diplomatic guests who participated.
Captain Harvey raised the bar for safety, efficiency, and professionalism, and his accomplishments will have a long-lasting impact on the well-being of all personnel on the Palm Springs Fire Department.
CAPTAIN/PARAMEDIC
SHAWN ARDEN
Meritorious Service Award
Captain/Paramedic Shawn Arden has established Target Solutions for training to make it more efficient and easier to keep track of. He has implemented CheckIt, a new department apparatus accountability program that includes vehicle checks, writeup procedures, and narcotics accountability.
Captain Arden attends meetings for a county-wide CAD integration program and is working on the final steps for the department’s new station alerting system. He has been working on the department radios, upgrading the system for better communications. He helps manage our Firehouse RMS system for incidents and assists with maintenance of the department’s fire inspection program, including ARFF inspections.
BATTALION CHIEF
JEFF VAN LIEROP
Meritorious Service Award
Battalion Chief Jeff Van Lierop has worked tirelessly to secure the department’s new training tower. Although incidents have arisen throughout the project, he has continued to take a proactive approach in working toward the department’s first-ever training tower. Chief Van Lierop has put endless hours into training and has always been the department’s “go-to guy” when it comes to furthering one’s knowledge. His leadership and ability have transferred over into the Battalion Chief’s office, which has directly affected the department in a positive way. Chief Van Lierop has also been a strong, logical voice in assisting our local union in negotiating and improving working conditions.
EISENHOWER HEALTH HERO AWARD
Captain/Paramedic Nathan Gunkel
Meritorious Service Award and the Eisenhower Medical Center Award
Captain/Paramedic Nathan Gunkel has provided distinguished service at all times to the people of Palm Springs in and/or beyond the call of duty. As the department’s infectious disease officer, he has improved the process for our personnel in the event of an exposure. This knowledge of the system and how to provide valuable information and guidance did not go unnoticed. Soon, he was offering guidance to the Palm Springs Police Department.
On January 13, 2020, Captain/Paramedic Gunkel assumed a new role as the public information officer for the Palm Springs Fire Department. By March 2020, COVID-19 was a reality, and an experienced individual to help navigate through this new territory was needed. Captain/Paramedic Gunkel accepted the increased job duties without question and set out to assist the department in any way he could.
CAPTAIN/PARAMEDIC
DAMIEN MYERS
Meritorious Service Award
Captain/Paramedic Damien Myers has always provided distinguished service to the people of Palm Springs in and/or beyond the call of duty. He sets an excellent example for our personnel, spending endless hours both on and off duty to improve the department in any way he can. Captain Myers continually assists personnel with training to meet their goals and provides sound guidance to personnel as a department peer support member.
In the early days of the pandemic, fear of the unknown, exposure, and the scarcity of proper personal protective equipment supplies were key issues. Captain/Paramedic Gunkel worked relentlessly to coordinate emergency supply sources, acting as the department’s liaison with Desert Regional Medical Center, Riverside County Public Health, and several other agencies to provide personnel with guidance during this challenging time. This invaluable experience and knowledge were once again instrumental to the Palm Springs Police Department when Captain/Paramedic Gunkel assisted in establishing a policy and procedure for that department as well. It is a fact that through his many efforts, he helped prevent many more fire and police department employees from contracting the virus and bringing it home to their families. Captain/Paramedic Gunkel has continued to ensure all personnel are provided with much-needed PPE, testing, and treatment throughout the pandemic.

PALM SPRINGS
A NEW TWIST ON
Cannabis
Four Twenty Bank is a modern revitalization of a once-dilapidated building that sat vacant for over 23 years. After investing over two years of time, we have completely restored this once-prestigious place of business into an onsite cannabis consumption lounge, dispensary, and epic event venue. The very first of its kind!
Entrepreneurs Nolan Moore and Julie Montante have merged their brilliant minds and successful business expertise to create this truly unique experience. They have deliberately chosen to break the stereotype of the typical cannabis consumer and elevate the minds of the public. They have set out to broaden the horizon and aim for a new concept. The influx of a vibrant demographic to the downtown Palm Springs area makes this the absolute perfect location to introduce such
a groundbreaking business. Unlike anything you have experienced, the Four Twenty Bank dispensary and concert lounge offers a wide range of products, including a full assortment of sodas, cocktails, beer, and wine that contain zero alcohol and are CBD- and THC-infused. We carry all the top brands of cannabis, from King Garden to Cookies. On offer: the desert’s largest array of pre-rolls, live rosin, wax, oils, enriched lotions and creams, vape pens, and cartridges. With the cannabis community being fully accepted in the desert region, we feel the creation of this experience will be beneficial to the community as a whole! Oh, and wait for the mixology robots!
Working side by side with local professionals and the city of Palm Springs, we have strived to exceed every request the city had regarding ventilation and social distancing in this
location so as to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all patrons. The custom filtration system is designed to create a unique airflow designed to pull fresh air into the building while lifting out smoke and purifying it before exiting the extended vents. The major overhaul of this 17,000+-square-foot landmark includes double glass entry doors maintained at all times by security specialists, three oversized chandeliers that each have over 4,000 hanging crystals, and customized rolling display cases to make this space adaptable to concerts and special events, when allowed. Upstairs, private rooms and Sky Suites are available for member-hosted affairs and invitation-only parties, with exclusive access reserved for VIP guests. Also available is office space for rent.
By combining the consumption lounge and dispensary with a concert and arts experience, we aim to become a staple of the community. The opportunity to work with many local performers and feature artists is beyond exciting.
Four Twenty Bank also has a limited number of Private Label Society Memberships that will have priority access to the event calendar, plus many other benefits. Four Twenty Bank also envisions building a business model that can be applied to other unique properties in other major cities across the world! While we eagerly await the delight of opening our doors during these unprecedented times, we continue to move forward every day with goals for this founding location.
MEET THE OWNERS
Julie Montante opened PSA Organica in downtown Palm Springs in 2016. Julie’s brother, Len Montante, is an important part of both PSA Organica and Four Twenty Bank. Having been with her since the beginning, he works in management operations and buying. Come in and also meet Sue Littleton, our metrics and floor manager.
Julie got into this industry when her mother developed stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 45. She wanted to find alternatives to chemo, radiation, and surgery without stripping her of her dignity. This was the beginning of an extensive and compassionate journey for Julie and Lenny to pursue their dream of helping others in need. They put their clients’ needs and comfort first from the time they walk in. Their goal is to supply compassion to those in need in a safe and comfortable environment. Julie donates five percent of after-tax receipts each month to local charities. She also works with Well in the Desert, Desert AIDS Project, Martha’s Kitchen, and the AIDS assistance Program. Stop by and meet Julie, Len, and the friendly knowledgeable staff. Should you have any questions, please contact Julie at (760) 250-6477. www.fourtwentybank.com

Luigi’s Old Style Barber Shop
The 1880s to the 1940s were the golden age for barbershops. During this time, men socialized in all-male hangouts, and barbershops rivaled saloons in popularity. Visiting the barbershop was a weekly, and sometimes daily, habit. Men would stop in not only for a haircut and a shave, but also to fraternize with friends and exchange opinions about sports and politics. For over 30 years, Luigi’s Old Style Barber Shop has kept that golden age of barbershops alive, providing quality haircuts to men and boys from around the world. We are located in the historic 118 La Plaza in downtown Palm Springs. Our classic cuts include a mustache trim plus ears and nose. And don’t forget our hot-towel shave!

FOREVER HARD AT WORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY
As it has been since the very beginning of the global pandemic that started more than a year ago, the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce remains committed to focusing all of its energy and resources on concerted efforts to help member businesses stay afloat, and to assist them in preparing for a safe, successful, and sustainable reopening of the economy. We’re also acting diligently to elevate public awareness of—and support for—small local businesses. Just some of the ways we are doing this include:
The hosting of our annual State of the City Zoom presentation—with 500 people in attendance—where we coordinated with the Palm Springs City Council, City Manager, Fire Department, Police Department, and Department of Economic Development to produce an informative, one-hour snapshot of our city now, as well as to unveil what our leaders have planned for our future.
Our participation in the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism’s “We Are Palm Springs” video campaign, wherein we helped spread the message that we are all in this together, and that we so appreciate everyone joining forces to help our city return to this new normal.
Our creation of “Let’s Go Palm Springs,” a program designed to encourage residents and visitors to order takeout from local restaurants. Participants simply download a coupon from the Chamber’s website, then get $10 off orders of $30 or more—and can use their code as often as they’d like. The Chamber reimburses the restaurants the discount for every coupon redeemed. The program was sponsored by the city of Palm Springs, the Bureau of Tourism, and many local businesses. Please see the list of participating eateries at pschamber.org
The management of the Public Bench Artwork Program for the city of Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Public Arts Commission. The scope of service includes 25 city-owned public benches painted by talented local artists.
The hosting of various monthly digital workshops on marketing and advertising, during which we assist many local businesses with their California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant application and with the second phase of Paycheck Protection Program offered to businesses.
As in any emergency, the entire community is only as strong as its weakest member. Our mission here at the Chamber is to help the Coachella Valley weather these unprecedented times. We know that, together, we shall prevail and emerge greater and more resilient than ever!

One Hot Market
Demand is high, inventory is low, so prices are moving on up
BY DANIEL VAILLANCOURT
For longtime Los Angeles image consultant Tom Burke and his husband of 33 years, corporate food and beverage franchise executive Scot Hobert, moving to Palm Springs was always the dream at the back of their minds. But the pandemic—coupled with their growing dissatisfaction with L.A.’s overpopulation, pollution, traffic, and fellow Angelenos’ too-often unfriendly attitudes—precipitated turning that some-day eventuality into 2021 reality.
“L.A. was really beginning to wear on us,” says Burke, who had shared the same Burbank bungalow with Hobert and their two cats for more than 20 years. “Scot’s goal has always been to open a small restaurant. That dream had definitely become unattainable in Los Angeles, but it’s still quite possible here in Palm Springs.”
And so, putting their trust in realtor James Meyer of Zapala Meyer Real Estate Group, the couple began their search last September. “Nerve-wracking is how best to describe it,” remembers Hobert, pointing to the fact that the high demand and low inventory created by COVID-19 presented sharp challenges. “We had to bend with the curves and just keep moving forward, no matter how fast things were going. A home would come on the market and be under contract within 24 hours. We had our hearts set on one house only to lose it in a bidding war. We quickly learned to act fast.”
By late fall, Burke and Hobert’s sudden expertise had paid off. The major renovation of their new home in South Palm Springs began last January. The men were undoubtedly savvy, but also lucky. Many would-be buyers are still desperately seeking.
“The real estate market is incredibly strong right now,” concurs Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce Board President Brady Sandahl, the principal of Brady Sandahl Real Estate Group at Keller Williams Luxury Homes. “People have figured out they can work from home, so they’re choosing to live in smaller cities with better weather and a higher quality of life. Not to mention that low interest rates, a strong stock market, and a high level of savings are allowing more people the opportunity to buy.”
According to Sandahl, most new desert dwellers are hailing from major West Coast cities—Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. “Across the board, single-family homes are more popular than condos,” he says, “in part because the former don’t require the use of shared amenities that have been closed down due to COVID.”
Not that the realty traffic is all in-coming. There are those who, due to the rising value of their property, are cashing in—downsizing or upgrading within city limits, or departing the

desert entirely. “Those leaving are primarily moving to tax-free states like Nevada, Texas, or Florida,” says Sandahl, “or to lower-cost states with similar climates, such as Arizona.”
For those staying put, there’s comfort in knowing their life’s major investment has mushroomed in worth. As for those still looking to call Palm Springs home, patience and perseverance remain key. On Bogert Trail, Burke and Hobert—who moved into their remodeled dream home this month—are nothing but excited and thankful they made the big move sooner than they’d envisioned. “We’re so glad we trusted our instincts and took the plunge,” concludes Burke. “We found our forever home in a gorgeous city where we can be safe and happy and feel part of a vibrant, welcoming community. If that’s not a fairy tale ending, I don’t know what is.”
