HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY

ome four decades ago, a small group of local volunteers envisioned a more compassionate way of caring for people nearing the end of their lives. They were deeply moved by a concept called “hospice” that was prevalent in England and longed to bring it to Arizona. The mission was simple: Help patients spend their last moments in their own beds, surrounded by their loved ones. It’s no coincidence the word hospice is a derivative of “hospitality” — making people feel comfortable in their own homes.

This core group, which included the Rev. Gerald Roseberry and nurses Mary Audrey Mellow and Blanche Hopkins, began changing how that final journey would look and feel. In 1977, they formed not-for-profit Valley of the Sun Hospice — later changed to Hospice of the Valley — and began carrying out a mission of “comfort and dignity.”

They cared for patients’ physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs; visiting the terminally ill at home to manage their pain and offer peace and comfort. They also provided support to family members as they struggled to cope with impending loss.

Until Medicare created a hospice benefit in 1982, the care given during those initial five years was seldom reimbursed. The early “friends of hospice” raised money to cover costs, because the goal was to

Expectant couples who are told their baby will not survive long after birth are supported at no cost with a compassionate perinatal program that starts with pregnancy, continues after the death of their child and into a subsequent pregnancy.

Patients are soothed with music therapy and cheered by pet teams who visit at the bedside to chase away loneliness.

PHOENIX APPROVES NEW PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROJECTS

PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD FOR PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROJECTS NOW AVAILABLE PHOENIX CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED THE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PLANS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2021 THROUGH 2023. The plans include Transportation 2050 and Arizona highway user revenue funded pavement maintenance projects to improve street conditions throughout the city.

The city’s pavement maintenance budget includes $90 million per year through fiscal year 2023, by which time nearly 1,650 street miles will be treated. The City Council’s action to advance funding to accelerate paving projects allows the city to significantly

repair more of its most deteriorated streets and extend the lifespan of its aging street network.

“As long as we have cars and roads, we will have potholes. However, with the approval of new pavement maintenance projects throughout the city, road improvements will happen much faster,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “As the fastest growing city, Phoenix needs safe roads and a strong public transportation system to keep ahead of population growth and today’s vote ensures that we are planning not just for current residents but for future Phoenicians as well.”

The planned projects were identified and prioritized based on street condition assessment data, field evaluations and public input. “The city held more than 75 public meetings across the city to gain extensive community input that helped the city prioritize which streets should be included in the pavement maintenance program,” said Councilwoman Debra Stark, who chairs the Aviation and Transportation Subcommittee. “I am proud that this plan reflects the community’s input, as well as street condition assessments and field evaluations.”

To help the community stay informed and provide an easy way to see progress, the Street Transportation Department launched a dashboard with near real-time information about pavement maintenance projects through 2023.

The interactive dashboard allows users to sort projects by type, location and status.

To see the dashboard and for more information, visit Phoenix.gov/ Pavement.

CHARITABLE CAUSES SEE RECORD PROCEEDS FROM SPECIALTY PLATE SALES SPECIALTY LICENSE PLATES EACH HAVE A UNIQUE LOOK, BUT ONE THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THE ABILITY TO RAISE A RECORD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR ARIZONA CHARITABLE CAUSES. In Fiscal Year 2019, which concluded June 30, a total of just over $11.2 million were raised for endeavors ranging from support of Arizona veterans’ programs, Special Olympics, organ donation, hunger relief, university scholarships and many other causes.

Monies raised have steadily grown for a number of years. In FY 2015, the total was just over $8.7 million, increasing to nearly $9.4 million in FY 2016. FY 2017 saw more than $9.8 million raised followed by $10.6 million in FY 2018.

“The specialty plate program is a real point of pride for Arizona and is a tremendous success,” said Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division Director Eric Jorgensen.

“Raising more than $11 million in the last Fiscal Year proves Arizonans are both generous and eager to support great causes and organizations they believe in.”

Customers who wish to select a plate can go to servicearizona.com and once a selection is made may click on a link for more information that outlines which cause is supported by the sale of a particular plate.

Specialty plates are created by an act of the Arizona legislature and the program, which began in 1989, is administered by the MVD.

CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN ON ‘THE CITY OF THE FUTURE’ – CITY NORTH

PHOENIX’S ULTIMATE “LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND EXCEL ENVIRONMENT” WILL OFFER RETAIL, OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES ON SUPERB FREEWAY FRONTAGE CROWN REALTY & DEVELOPMENT IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE ONSET OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY ON THE NEARLY 100-ACRE PROPERTY THAT SURROUNDS THE EXISTING HIGH STREET RETAIL, OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ADJACENT TO THE LOOP 101 IN NORTH PHOENIX.

Coined the ‘City of the Future,’ City North has started construction on the horizontal infrastructure including water and sewer. Construction will then begin above ground on the streets, sidewalks, landscaping, trees, comfort stations for shuttles and ride sharing companies and streets. The main spine road will be four lanes with a center median bordered with two 12-foot wide tree-lined pedestrian / cycle paths.

Crown hired A.R. Mays for the all the infrastructure construction. Twenty million dollars is budgeted for this phase of the project. Vertical construction will start next year. Among the amenities, a 160,000-square-foot, four-story office building and 250 multifamily residential units will be developed in this first phase of the project that will sit on four acres. When completed, City North’s entire multifamily residential component will consist of 2,600 units and will comprise 32 acres of the City North development joining Class A offices and other uses in the thriving Desert Ridge area of Phoenix.

Crown acquired the nearly 100-acre City North property in January that surrounds the existing High Street retail, office and residential community. The land had been the subject of litigation for nearly a decade and has been valued by the bankruptcy court for $121 million. Crown, which has developed the Omni Montelucia Resort and spearheaded the redevelopment of Mountain Shadows in Paradise

northtatumtimes.com

Valley, plans to develop what will essentially be a new city and second urban node for Phoenix with City North.

A formal groundbreaking is planned in early October. The land is zoned for 2,500 residential units, 2 million square feet of office, 500 hotel rooms and 100,000 square feet of retail. It is adjacent to the 1.2 million-square-foot Desert Ridge Market Place and surrounding High Street development at the northwest corner of the Loop 101 and 56th Street.

Cushman & Wakefield has been retained as the brokers to market the first phase of City North’s multifamily residential component. Several local and national multifamily developers are competing to build the first place of the multifamily.

“We are thrilled construction is starting and our brokers are already at work finding the type of tenants and partners to bring one of the finest pieces of real estate in Arizona to life,” said Rick Carpinelli, Senior Vice President of Acquisition and Development at Crown. Carpinelli also oversees Crown’s Arizona operations. “There is no doubt City North is one of the best pieces of real estate in the western United States and will soon offer a variety of residential units, retail, hotels and office space to complement its spectacular location.,” said Crown CEO and founder Robert Flaxman.

WHAT’S HAPPENING ON — AND AROUND — HIGH STREET

By Molly Cerreta Smith

HIGH STREET OFFERS SOME OF THE BEST SHOPPING, DINING, ENTERTAINMENT AND URBAN LIVING RESIDENCES IN THE NORTH PHOENIX NEIGHBORHOOD JUST EAST OF DESERT RIDGE MARKETPLACE. There is something new happening on and around High Street every day — and many reasons to head to this mixeduse district.

Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy opened in Phoenix in September of 2014, making it the brand’s fourth location nationwide. Since that time, famous comedians and top acts have taken the stage to entertain in this hot spot that award-winning comedian, magician, television host, writer and producer Bronson himself called “the North Valley’s next great entertainment, dining and party district.” He has now set his sights again on High Street for his latest venture — a cof-

feehouse-turned-speakeasy called The Stir Coffee Bar and Gin and Reel. Set to open in September, Bronson hopes guests will “stir up” conversation in a nostalgic “old school” environment aimed at encouraging the spirit of human connection through coffee, cocktails and conversation.

The Stir Coffee Bar and Gin and Reel will offer over-the-top caffeinated libations including both hot and cold boozy brews and amped-up ice cream concoctions such as decadent coffee milkshakes. The menu includes an inspired selection of breakfast and lunch menu items as well as plates from the bar including deviled eggs, lobster canapes, stuffed mushrooms and caprese salad.

The intimate speakeasy Gin and Reel will have its own secret entrance located at the back of the coffeehouse and will be designed to transport guests back in time to Old Hollywood with ambiance. Prohibition-era inspired cocktails will include the Vesper with

Volstead Vodka, Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin and Lillet Blanc; the Clover Club featuring Tanqueray No. 10, raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, cream and egg white; and the Corpse Reviver with Copper and King’s Floodwall Brandy, Hennessy VSOP and Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth.

The Stir Coffee Bar and Gin and Reel is scheduled to open this September.

Another High Street development is the recent reopening of Ocean Prime, the area’s high-end seafood and steakhouse, on July 18. The restaurant temporarily closed its doors on Sunday, May 26 to undergo repair of a pipe beneath the building. During that time, Ocean Prime took the opportunity to update its interior dining room with a fresh new look and additional seating.

Upon reopening, Ocean Prime has unveiled new offerings including an Oysters and Bubbles Half Price Happy Hour special featuring Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs or Rosé every Monday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. throughout the summer season.

ARIZONA STRENGTHENS PROTECTIONS FOR VICTIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE GOVERNOR DOUG DUCEY RECENTLY JOINED SURVIVORS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, VICTIM ADVOCATES AND ARIZONA STATE SENATORS PAUL BOYER AND HEATHER CARTER FOR A CEREMONIAL SIGNING OF H.B. 2466. The bill, which passed unanimously in the Arizona State Legislature, strengthens protections for victims of child sexual abuse by extending the amount of time victims have to pursue civil action against perpetrators.

“We cannot overstate the pain and trauma suffered by victims of child sexual abuse,” said Governor Ducey. “We know victims need time to process and understand what happened. They deserve the time to come forward. With this bill, Arizona is taking a stand to hold abusers accountable and provide justice to victims of child sexual abuse. This reform did not come easily, but progress on the really important issues rarely ever does. I want to thank Senator Boyer for his dedication to the children of Arizona.”

H.B. 2466 extends the amount of time victims have

to take civil action against perpetrators of child abuse from two years to 12 years, allowing victims to pursue justice up to the age of 30. The bill also allows victims who did not have the opportunity to take civil action for their abuse due to the previous two-year limit to bring a claim against their perpetrator until December 31, 2020. In addition, the bill allows civil action to be taken against an organization that knew or had notice of the sexual conduct. The bill’s provisions allow victims of child sexual abuse to seek justice and receive relief from a perpetrator.

Before signing the bill, Governor Ducey announced the establishment of the Justice for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse Task Force. The task force will be dedicated to providing recommendations to the state for further reforms to ensure victims are entitled to safety, healing, justice and restitution. Members of the task force will consist of representatives from the law enforcement community, the Arizona House of Representatives, the Arizona Senate and advocates of victims of child sexual abuse.

SHARETEA TO OPEN FIRST ARIZONA LOCATION AT DESERT RIDGE MARKETPLACE DESERT RIDGE MARKETPLACE WILL WELCOME INTERNATIONALLY-POPULAR TEA CAFÉ SHARETEA TO ITS LINEUP OF CULINARY DESTINATIONS IN SEPTEMBER 2019. The Taiwan-based black tea and pearl milk café will open its first Arizona location in The District near The Splash Pad.

Sharetea’s drinks are made from high quality tea leaves and selected ingredients sourced directly from Taiwan.

HI, MY NAME IS...

PROFILE ON LOCAL ENTREPRENEUR: Heather Evanoff MY COMPANY & TITLE IS…. I am Operating Partner of Saddlecreek Coffee Co.

A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE INCLUDES… I start my mornings cuddling with my two little boys at home until I leave for work. Once I get to Saddlecreek, if there isn’t already a line, I make a six shot Americano with coconut milk and coconut flavoring to jump start the day.

From there, I like to position myself at our deli station, prepping and cooking for the masses.

Eventually, I move into more administrative work, organizing orders and inventory, and running any errands we may have for the shop, in between visiting with our guests.

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING/ WORKING IN THIS AREA IS… Definitely the people! Without question, our residents are some of the kindest, most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!

MY FAVORITE MOVIE I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING AND WHY...

OUR COMMUNITY. YOUR COFFEE SHOP. OUR PLEASURE. We are here to serve our community!

Saddlecreek is a social enterprise focused on making people feel great and giving back to those in need. Great coffee. Healthy food.

Insanely positive people. It’s that simple.

My favorite movie would be ANY of the John Wick films. I have a soft spot for crazy action movies (The Expendable movies too). I cry watching just about any other genre, including kids’ movies, so action is a safe bet for something fun and tear free.

MY FAMILY… Is my everything! My husband is the most incredible man I know and together we have two beautiful, amazing, rambunctious boys! As a whole, my family (immediate and extended) is pretty close.

THE BUSINESS LESSON I LEARNED THE HARD WAY IS… The hits keep coming. That is just how small business goes. What I have learned is to expect them with a positive “I can overcome this” attitude. And every time a hurdle presents itself, I remember to thank God for the opportunity to learn something new and be more prepared and equipped for the future. An obstacle doesn’t have to be the end of you when it can simply be an opportunity for growth.

THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS… If I walk into a karaoke bar, without question I am rapping Salt-N-Pepa’s “None of Your Business”.

THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS… Aside from my supportive and encouraging husband, my business partner Jim Prendergast motivates me the most. He encourages me to think outside the box and is the first person who truly believed in my professional skills and talents. Jim has the incredible ability to push people to be better than they thought they could be.

THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… Playing an aggressive game of Catchphrase at our Nerd Night at Saddlecreek.

MY FIRST JOB WAS… At Barnes and Noble in Kierland as a book stocker.

I’M CURRENTLY WORKING ON… My other business partner Rachael and I have been exploring seasonal menu and drink ideas.

We have also been focused on outlining our philanthropic mission for Coffee with a Cause at Saddlecreek.

8 • August/September 2019 • NORTH TATUM TIMES

THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS... My husband got a professional pastry chef and chocolatier named Kriss Harvey to make me a shout out and encouragement video when I first started at Saddlecreek and the transition was a little hard. I was so touched that he would reach out to someone that I admired, who built their own successful business, to motivate me to keep pushing forward and never give up on my dream.

THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE OF MY LIFE IS... Kat Dennings.

MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE TO… Alaska for six months, experiencing the seasons, fishing, hiking, exploring, whale watching and living our best outdoor life with my family!

MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWNERS... Very simply- never give up! If you have a dream in your heart, pursue it with everything you have! northtatumtimes.com

These thoughts do not to diminish the concern you have about your loved one’s health; rather they acknowledge the additional concerns of transition that you may feel.

Recognizing this first stage of transition can help provide clarity around our own periods of transition and perhaps increase compassion for those around us experiencing life changes.

Are you or someone you care about experiencing change? As a financial advisor, I can help. What I have discovered is that no matter the life changes or transition, the event generally leads to some contemplation around finances. Call me at 602.923.9800 for your complimentary initial consultation, where we can talk about your financial situation and concerns in detail.

ears of working with people experiencing change in their lives has revealed to me that most life transitions are of a personal nature, and that these events often have significant financial impact. This is because life transitions - health issues, new family members, divorce, death, and retirements - can create financial uncertainty. That uncertainty can trigger a transition response.

I believe people experience Four Stages of Transition. While there isn’t a timeline for each stage, there are commonalities that provide an opportunity to apply time-tested tools to work through each stage. Today we will explore Stage 1 – Anticipation.

KIDS’ CORNER

BACK TO SCHOOL BASICS

By Jill “Mamabug” Frier

IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN

B

ack to school already? The summer seemed to fly by and it’s once again time for kids to start back to school. With summer heat and monsoon season in full effect, every bit of advice to make life a little less hectic and eliminate the drama is welcome. We collected some great tips from teachers, parents, doctors, and other education and child experts to find some of the most practical and useful tips for making sure your child is on track and ready to go for the upcoming school year.

GET BACK INTO A ROUTINE One of the most important things you can do to get your kids on the right track for school is to set a routine and schedule for the school year.

This is the time to reset sleeping patterns, establish a wake up time, and set the guidelines for meals, chores, homework and activities. Make sure that you, your significant other, and your kids are on the same page with the schedule to make it easier for the whole family. Some of the items to build into your routine include: • Bed time and sleep schedule • Wake up time • Breakfast and dinner • Homework schedule • Extra activities Getting enough sleep is one of the most critical factors in making sure that a child does well in school. Children who do not get enough sleep have a hard time concentrating and learning to their full potential. Insufficient sleep is also associated with lower academic achievement for older kids, in addition to higher rates of absenteeism and tardiness.

Experts agree that having a consistent bedtime routine and wake up time for your child is one of the best ways to make sure they get the right amount of sleep. They suggest starting to reset sleeping patterns about seven to 10 days before the first day of school. Make sure your kids get into a routine of going to bed and waking up with plenty of rest every day, so you can avoid this being a factor during the first week of school.

ESTABLISH HEALTHY EATING HABITS Another critically important factor in ensuring your kids are at their best during school is making sure that they eat right, especially at breakfast. Studies show that kids who eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast have better concentration and more energy for school. Make sure their breakfast contains some protein and enough calories to get them through to lunchtime. Plan ahead to make sure you either sign you child up for the hot lunch program, or have healthy choices available to include when packing lunch, so your kiddo doesn’t get hungry before the end of the day.

And don’t forget the after-school snack! My kid is always so hungry when I pick her up from school that she inhales any snack I give her.

Give your kid some healthy, but filling, options to keep them going all day long and give them the energy for homework and any activities they have after school is out.

SET THE STAGE FOR HOMEWORK AND STUDY So how do you bring it all together to help your student be a better learner? Experts recommend

10 • August/September 2019 • NORTH TATUM TIMES

setting academic goals as a first step. Work with your kid to help them think about their goals and grades, and how they plan to reach those goals, before they head into the school year. Help them plan ahead and establish good study habits, and let them know it’s okay to ask for help if they stumble over a subject during the school year.

Work with their teacher to help them understand any challenges or problems your child may have, and keep in touch throughout the school year to make sure you keep up with how they are doing in the classroom and whether you have concerns about assignments.

It’s also important to set aside a distraction-free space that can be used for doing homework.

Whether it’s in their bedroom or another quiet room in the house, make sure they have room to study with no TV, devices, or other attentiongrabbing distractions. Be sure to schedule time for homework into your child’s daily routine, and make the timeframe consistent.

Going back to school is a hectic time for kids and parents. You can take charge of the school year by planning ahead and setting the stage to make sure your child has the basic essentials available for being a successful student. Set the foundation with a regular routine, enough sleep, healthy food, good prioritization, and a quiet space to study – you kid will handle the rest in the classroom!

PVSCHOOLS EXPANDS EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING PROGRAMS

P

VSchools recently expanded its early childhood learning programs with the opening of the Little Cubs at the James P. Lee Early Childhood Learning Center, which is located at 3820 E. Nisbet Rd., Phoenix 85032.

“Little Cubs will provide our employees and working families in the community an option for childcare in the southern area of the district. This is the beginning of their experience with PVSchools,” said Jennifer Kelly, childcare coordinator with the Community Education Department.

The center is fully licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The program is open from 6:30 a.m-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and follows the school calendar. Classroom ratios for staff and children are as follows: • Infants 1:5 or 2:11 • One-year-old 1:6 or 2:13 • Two-year-old 2:8 • Three-year-old 1:13 One feature that stands out from other childcare programs is that the Little Cubs also has an onsite

registered nurse. Parents will have peace of mind knowing that a trained medical professional is onsite should a situation arise.

A SNAPSHOT OF THE PROGRAM Children attending the Little Cubs program participate in art, music, dramatic play, storytime, songs, and dance. “Children are naturally curious. We play with them, introduce toys or activities that are right for their age,” said Barbara Bush, a childcare associate at Pinnacle High School.

INFANTS AND TODDLERS PROGRAM Our Infants and Toddlers Program incorporates individual play using developmentally appropriate toys good for both large and small muscles, socialization with children in the classroom, storybooks, art activities, music, and movement. Caregivers also work on toilet training in the Toddler 2 classroom.

Children are diapered and fed on a fixed schedule.

3-YEAR-OLD PROGRAM A typical day will include large and small group activities that are developmentally appropriate for 3-year-olds. These will include activities in literature, early math, art, and music, as well as social

studies and science. Children will also have the opportunity to choose free choice dramatic play, use large muscles on the playground, develop social skills, and make friends.

Daily reports are provided to all parents. These reports include when diapers are changed, nap times, activities completed, food eaten, and eating time.

SCHEDULE A TOUR If you are interested in touring Little Cubs at the James P. Lee Early Childhood Learning Center, please call the Community Education Department at 602-449-2200. To learn more about PVSchools, visit www.pvschools.net.

COVER STORY

PIONEER TITLE AGENCY OPENS DOORS ON HIGH STREET

By Alison Bailin Batz

The branch’s core services include:

• Judicial guarantee reports • Escrow services • Developer services • Land acquisition title research and insurance • Construction loan title services • Subdivision trusts • Foreclosure services • Multiple compliance guideline services • Post-foreclosure title policies • Account servicing

• Title insurances, both for owners and lenders • Title insurance background checks • Homeowners Title Insurance Policies • Trustee’s sale guarantees

“We also want to be a voice for business and economic development in the area, as well as the community. And we want to be a valuable asset for our real estate partners,” said Skyanne J. Dinnigan,

A

fter nearly a year of planning and development Pioneer Title Agency, a family-owned business that touches all 15 counties across Arizona, is proud to announce the opening of its High Street branch, which is located at 5355 E. High Street, Suite 131, in Phoenix.

an industry veteran who serves as the escrow administrator for the branch and is also an area manager for the company.

In an effort to be of immediate service, the 3,000-square-foot branch will also function as a training center for area real estate professionals, focused on providing both continuing education courses as well as topical lunch and learn programs touching on regulatory changes, the continued evolution of technology as it relates to real estate matters and much more.

“We also plan to open our space to local businesses and community groups who are in need of meeting space when we can,” says Dinnigan.

Learn more about their story and journey to High Street below: SEEDS OF DEVELOPMENT Dinnigan joined Pioneer after more than two decades working in the industry.

“Pioneer’s pristine reputation precedes itself to individuals like me,” says Dinnigan, noting that Pioneer, a recent Arizona Corporate Excellence and Most Admired Company honoree, was founded in Sierra Vista in 1985 and has grown to more than 75 branches in over 45 cities across Arizona by remaining focused on a “Commitment to Service” since its inception. “But, for a long time, the company never intended to become one of the fastest-growing businesses in Maricopa County.

Fate, however, had other plans.”

According to Dinnigan, before the now-infamous recent real estate crash, Pioneer was focused on providing exceptional service to the more rural markets in Arizona such as Payson, Flagstaff, Sierra Vista, Prescott and Safford.

“When the market crashed, there were a lot of title and escrow companies closing their doors, effectively costing thousands of professionals their jobs in the Valley and beyond,” says Dinnigan.

“That didn’t sit well with Pioneer, who worked around the clock to help keep several of these people employed by expanding all across Arizona.”

By 2018, Pioneer touched all 15 counties across Arizona and had more than 20 branches in Maricopa County alone.

“Beyond doing all of this, they did it while still giving back to the community on a regular basis, including more than $1 million in donations to local charities over the past decade and thousands

COVER STORY of hours spent collectively volunteering to causes and projects close to employees’ hearts,” says Dinnigan.

When she learned the business would be expanding yet again, Dinnigan jumped at the chance to be a part of it.

“We actually chose the High Street space in September 2018, but it took nearly nine month to ensure a perfect build-out as well as the recruitment of an all-star team,” says Dinnigan.

Speaking of all stars, joining Dinnigan at High Street is sales executive Angie Sanich.

“Angie is not only a leader within the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS (SAAR), she is a marketing partner and coordinator for the organization’s massively popular Desert Ridge Home Tour program, which takes place the second Thursday of each month.”

According to Dinnigan, she is also involved with the Pinnacle Peak Home Tour as both a marketing partner and coordinator, helping plan their twicemonthly events, which take place the first and third Friday of each month.

“And then there is Tami Blackson, who will serve as our Branch Manager, Mark Osborn, our Senior Escrow Officer, Paula Wells, our Senior Escrow Officer, and Lauren Krauss, our director of first impressions and front desk host,” says Dinnigan.

OPEN HOUSE OPEN TO ALL To celebrate the launch of the branch as well as to introduce the team to the surrounding community and fellow local businesses, Pioneer High Street will host an open house on Thursday, August 8 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The event will feature small bites and refreshments from neighborhood businesses La Bocca Wine Bar & Urban Kitchen and Modern Margarita. There will be a ribbon cutting as well as several raffles wherein guests can win one of dozens of prize packages ranging from spa and salon services to foodie and retail gifts.

“The event is open to the public and free to attend, but we do ask you consider bringing a back-toschool item of your choosing when you come,” says Dinnigan, explaining the branch is dedicated to raising awareness as well as funds and critical needs for Homeward Bound. “All donations will go to directly support this Arizona nonprofit that serves the needs of homeless families, providing them with housing, job help, life skills, support services and emergency pantries. Their mission is northtatumtimes.com

to provide a hand up, not a hand out and create a real pathway out of poverty for these families.”

Homeward Bound is among the adopted charities of the High Street branch, who just completed a formal tour of the center and are putting pen to paper on ways they can work to help the cause.

“This back-to-school fundraiser is just the beginning, we hope, of a laundry list of things we and the High Street community can do to assist the organization,” says Dinnigan, noting good items to consider bringing include: socks, backpacks, glue, binders, paper, scissors, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters and even children’s clothes.

To RSVP or for more information, email angie. sanich@ptaaz.com or call 480-948-3899.

THE PIONEER TITLE FAMILY The goal of the open house and the goal of the branch as a whole is to become a part of the fabric of the greater-North Phoenix community.

“As such, expect all sorts of partnerships between us and local schools, nonprofits, events, real estate professionals and our fellow High Street and Desert Ridge businesses,” says Dinnigan. “In fact, we are already working to develop a ‘move-in kit’ for our customers with information on all of the great things to do and businesses to support right here in the area.”

In addition to being proud to join such a great group of local businesses on High Street, Pioneer is also proud to join its several North Valley branch partners.

“We are joining bustling Pioneer offices in the area including locations in the Scottsdale Airpark, Kierland, Paradise Valley, Sonoran Village, Fountain Hills and Desert Foothills,” says Dinnigan.

Among its biggest Agency in Action successes to date have been its companywide “Old School” program and its “Take a Hike” initiative.

“Pioneer just closed the book on its most recent philanthropic initiative, ‘Old School,’ donating a total of $43,000 and several thousand hours of service to schools across Arizona in the process. Through the program, Pioneer leadership empowered each of its team members in Arizona to donate time and raise funds to schools in their own communities over the past 18 months. To assist in the effort, Pioneer provided eight hours of paid time off as well as $100 to help each employee engage in the program,” says Dinnigan.

This project comes on the heels of Pioneers prior effort, called “Take a Hike,” which took place from 2015 to 2016 and was a partnership to raise funds and awareness of the Arizona National Scenic Trail, which spans 800-plus miles and touches nearly every community – large and small – across Arizona. Through the partnership, the first-ever endeavored by the Arizona Trail Association (ATA), Pioneer gathered each of its branches across Arizona – from Yuma to Page and everywhere in between – and set a goal to raise $30,000 to support the Trail by year’s end.

“They also pledged to gather in teams to collectively hike, bike, run or ride all 800-plus miles of the Arizona Trail during our shared anniversary year. Not only did they succeed – they raised more than $60,000 while completing the trail,” says Dinnigan.

For more information, please visit www.ptaaz.com

OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY, AUGUST 8 FROM 3 P.M. - 6 P.M.

Collectively, these branches have positively impacted tens of thousands of individuals and families as well as directly assisted professional associations including the local Chambers of Commerce, Land Title Association of Arizona, Arizona State Escrow Association, Arizona Mortgage Lenders Association and Women’s Counsel of REALTORS, just to name a few.

5355 E. HIGH STREET, SUITE 131

“As active in our commitment to the community as to our professional services, Pioneer also has a statewide community relations program, Pioneer Title Agency in Action, which focuses on giving back both time and money to hundreds of local causes across our state with a special focus on helping kids and families,” says Dinnigan.

PLEASE CONSIDER BRINGING A BACK-TO-SCHOOL ITEM TO DONATE.

BE HOMESMART: THE BATSON TEAM – FROM OUR VIEWPOINT UPDATE ON TOSCANA, MONTREUX, THE LUXE, MANOR VILLAGE

By Al and Jean Batson The Batson Team

A

s anyone living in the Desert Ridge area has probably noticed, there is a lot of construction going on around Deer Valley and 56th Street. On the City North/High Street side, bulldozers are busy preparing the land behind High Street (to the Loop 101) for development. Across the street from Desert Ridge Marketplace is Toscana, a major complex that offers an amazing variety of housing built by The Statesman Group who are growing by leaps and bounds.

TOSCANA has long been a leading “resort style” condominium in the Desert Ridge area and one of the largest planned communities in the state.

Each building is “hotel style” in that parking is underneath the building, with elevator service to the residences.

The hallways are wide, and all entry doors are accessed from the hallway.

Each building is coded for entry for safety and privacy and there is a guard-gate entry, making them a popular “lock & leave” type home. Resort style refers to the plethora of amenities available to owners including pools, spas, fitness, programs, classes and concierge services.

One question we get asked about often are short-term, furnished rentals. The need is great for people waiting for a home to be built, have a long-term patient at Mayo, want to lease before buying to be sure they love the area, businesspeople with short-term contracts and of course, Snowbirds.

Montreux also boasts a state-of-the-art smart automation system and a full-time lifestyle/concierge director to assist Residents. Montreux is dog-friendly with access to a dog-only area for pups to run around freely. All ages are welcome. Visit the Montreux leasing gallery (open daily) to learn more.

Not yet built is THE LUXE, a collection of 223 single-story two and three-bedroom condominiums that will eventually cover six different four-story buildings on the west end of Toscana. They will range in size from 1,630 to 2,300 square feet, all

designed to be fabulously luxurious.

The first two buildings will be available for occupancy within a couple of years and will range from $500,000 to $978,000. Building 1 is already 70% sold. The Luxe will be separate in amenities from the existing Toscana units and will feature a full-time Lifestyle Member Services Director to handle all your needs. The Luxe residents will have exclusive access to resort-style amenities for indoor and outdoor living including a 12,767 square foot Clubhouse with an exposition kitchen, wine room, movie theater, game area, working lounge, conference room and so much more.

To see a model and their interactive presentation, pop over to the sales office. At the Toscana gate, ask the guard to direct you to the Luxe Office.

‘T

HEALTH

FROMENERGY BRINGS NEW ENERGY TO HIGH STREET

U

nderstanding what makes us tick is important. Unfortunately, the statement and “getting” the practical science are light years apart.

While there are many fields of study about the systems of the body or how your mental state of mind affects you physically, there is no way to cover them all in one article or possibly to become proficient in a lifetime. A new addition to our community, FromEnergy, has become experts in a field typically only taken advantage of by a select few of the affluent community and in doing so has brought that knowledge to the general public.

The basic idea is simple…every one of us is a collection of charged particles and the energy of those particles are guided through our body by an electromagnetic energy flow. Most of us learned this in high school. What we did not learn is how interruptions in this flow can produce physical symptoms in our bodies. When we’re low on energy, or

there is a blockage in our energy flow, systems in our bodies begin to function inefficiently and break down. However, with the precise amount of corrective energy, these blockages can be removed to allow our bodies to re-energize, heal and rejuvenate.

This is where FromEnergy comes in.

FromEnergy, now open on High Street, is one of the few providers specializing in this corrective energy treatment across the entire United States. They provide a relaxing spa-like experience, where technicians use cutting-edge AI Guided technology and expert protocols. This smart technology diagnoses your energy needs and delivers the corrective optimal energy signals your body naturally requires.

Our body communicates with itself through an amazingly intricate electrical network - that’s why we’re diagnosed electrically with EEGs, EKGs, and EMGs. When there’s a breakdown in our

Join an organization that propels women business owners into power

body’s electrical network, our cells don’t receive all of the information they need to function. This often results in pain, health loss, or diminished performance.

FromEnergy offers a wide variety of treatments that work for a host of conditions including chronic pain, concussion, sports injuries, muscular strains, ligament injuries, migraines, neuropathy, and edema. Similar treatments have also shown great success for beauty enhancements. Beauty sessions tackle issues like crow’s feet, jowls, dark circles, blemishes, scarring, and rough areas. The best part? It’s 100% natural. No needles. No burning.

What’s the science you ask? Well without getting overly technical, FromEnergy sends low-level electrical currents that use artificial intelligence to detect the natural frequencies of your body.

This helps introduce more electrons to the body, which stimulates cellular and tissue repair. These sessions can be used

to detect and correct abnormal electrical patterns in the connective tissue and the nerve of the body. After normalizing the electrical patterns, the healing process of the damaged tissues begins with an accelerated recovery time at the cellular level.

So why did the creators of FromEnergy choose our neighborhood to bring this amazing technology? Cody Loe, a founding partner and patient of the process himself said; “When choosing our location, we knew Desert Ridge’s High Street was the perfect choice. This trendy area is a hot spot for anyone looking to achieve effective pain management or safe beauty-enhancement. We are excited to serve the Phoenix area in feeling and looking better, naturally”.

To book your wellness and/or beauty session today call 480-219-5266, visit www.fromenergy.com, or stop by the clinic located at 5415 E High St, Suite 107 in Phoenix.

YOUR GUIDE TO LOCAL DINING

MAJERLE’S SPORTS GRILL

By Jamie Killin

F

ounded by Phoenix Suns’ Ring of Honor inductee and three-time All-Star basketball player Dan Majerle, Majerle’s Sports Grill is a testament to his legend status in Arizona.

Majerle, who now serves as head coach for the Grand Canyon University’s men’s basketball team, created the concept because he saw a need for highquality, fun and comfortable restaurants close to sports arenas and hotels to serve both professional athletes and community members.

He opened the first Majerle’s Sports Grill location in downtown Phoenix nearly three decades ago, and the popular concept has grown to include four locations including the original, one at Chandler Fashion Center, one in Flagstaff near the legendary Route 66 and one at Desert Ridge, which opened in 2015.

The Desert Ridge location provides a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere with 25 flat screen TVs to ensure sports fans never miss a minute of their favorite team’s game. It’s a great spot for nearly any occasion — sports lovers watching the game, groups of friends wanting a fun night out and family dinners.

The location boasts a large patio with plenty of seating, a fireplace, outdoor games like cornhole and even live music. This location is also well-equipped to handle large parties and events, for groups as small as 15 or all the way up to 275 people with catering options and projector screens. northtatumtimes.com

The restaurant’s extensive menu doesn’t disappoint either — with everything from sports bar favorites like the Gorilla Wings and Old School Nachos appetizers to lighter meal options like the Devney’s Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad.

Majerle’s truly has something for everyone, with eight salads, eight burgers, ten sandwiches, endless build-your-own pizza options and specialty entrees like the Majerle’s Tacos and the Mac ‘n Cheese.

Top picks include the fried jalapeno burger topped with shredded lettuce, pepper jack cheese, avocado and fried jalapenos drizzled with chipotle mayo, as well as the Proski’s Rajun Cajun sandwich with spicy grilled chicken breast topped with Swiss cheese, crisp bacon, avocado, sprouts and tomatoes.

Diners can finish their meal with the ice cream, a root beer float, Slye’s Brownie Sundae, Eva’s Caramel Churros or restaurant favorite, The GCU Triple Double (‘Lopes Up’) which features a half-baked chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Majerle’s Sports Grill also serves up a variety of premium and craft local beers, wines and specialty cocktails for your next night out.

Majerle’s Sports Grill Desert Ridge is located at 21001 N Tatum Blvd #96 in Phoenix. For more information, visit majerles.com or call (480) 5854999.

How To Sell A North Valley House That Didn’t Sell North Valley - If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell?

Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on

your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money.

Industry experts have prepared a free special report called “How to Sell a House that Didn’t Sell” which educates you on the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-277-1959 and enter 1012. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

GETAWAY

Visiting PRE SCOTT O

ne of our favorite places to visit this time of year is Arizona’s original State Capital, Prescott. Only about 90 minutes north of Phoenix, Prescott has a cooler climate in the summer and plenty of small-town adventure for the whole family. The Prescott National Forest surrounds this historic western town, with beautiful forestland and gorgeous mountain views, perfect for hiking, camping and fishing. Prescott is a great place to visit for a day trip, or a weekend road trip. Here are some of our favorite spots to see when we visit the home of the World’s Oldest Rodeo.

WHISKEY ROW AND COURTHOUSE PLAZA One of the most well-known, and somewhat notorious, places to see in Prescott is the heart of downtown known as Whiskey Row. Once home to as many as 40 saloons on one block, Whiskey Row embodies the wild west history of Prescott and is a fun place to find everything from art galleries, boutiques and shops, to ice cream parlors and restaurants.

You can visit the oldest frontier saloon in Arizona, The Palace, which once hosted the likes of Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday. Then walk across the street to the historic

By Jill “MamaBug” Frier Yavapai County Courthouse and enjoy the shady lawn of Courthouse Plaza.

SHARLOT HALL MUSEUM The Sharlot Hall Museum is a fascinating place to visit, and just a short walk from the Courthouse Plaza and Whiskey Row. The museum lets visitors walk through a historic collection of buildings and displays that represent the history and heritage of Arizona during Territorial times.

This educational and cultural center was named after its founder, Sharlot Mabridth Hall, who was a wellknown poet, activist, and politician, as well as Arizona’s first territorial historian. In the early 19th century, Sharlot Hall began to collect both Native American and pioneer artifacts to create a historical museum to preserve the heritage and culture of Arizona.

HASSAYAMPA INN The Hassayampa Inn is a beautiful, historic hotel in downtown Prescott, and a favorite place for visitors to stay. Opened in 1927, the Hassayampa Inn was one of the first large hotels in town and preserves its heritage with an ornately decorated lobby, bar and restaurant. The old-fashioned elevator is original and must be operated by hotel staff. It also happens to

22 • August/September 2019 • NORTH TATUM TIMES

be the location of quite a few different reported ghost sightings and one of Prescott’s most notorious hauntings.

If you are in the mood for a slice of history and a good ghost story, the Hassayampa Inn is worth a weekend visit.

camping, hiking and boating. The trail is perfect for short hikes with kids, a two-mile trail that leads all the way around the lake and is wheelchair and stroller accessible on one side. There are also picnic tables and grills, as well as boat rentals in the summer.

HERITAGE PARK ZOO The Heritage Park Zoological Society is located on about ten acres just north of Prescott, overlooking Willow Lake.

This is a great zoo to visit with kids and it lives up to its motto of “Conservation through Education.” As well as offering sanctuary to many endangered species like the Mexican Gray Wolf, a tiger, tarantulas, and various reptiles, it also hosts animals rescued

by Arizona Game and Fish, such as a gray fox, mountain lion, and black bear. It provides visitors with a fantastic children’s playground, covered picnic pavilion, and interactive animal experiences.

WATSON LAKE Another one of our favorite outdoor spots in Prescott is Watson Lake, located just a few miles from downtown Prescott. This beautiful lake is surrounded by large granite boulders, which makes it great for hiking, fishing and boating. Watson Lake has picnic tables, campgrounds, and playground areas for kids, and hosts many local events and group activities. The hiking trail is longer and more challenging than Lynx Lake, but the path through the rocky terrain showcases it’s best feature, the stunning lakeside views from every angle.

LYNX LAKE We love to visit Prescott in the summer months, because it has perfect hiking weather! One of our favorite spots to hike is the lovely Lynx Lake, located just 15 minutes Southeast of Prescott. Very close and easy to reach through the Prescott National Forest, this lake is a great place for fishing,

Summer is the perfect time to visit higher elevations and cooler temperatures in the tall pines of Prescott. It’s a great place for a day trip or weekend stay, with many fun places to see and experience. Take some time to check out local favorites, and be sure to check www.LadybugsBlog.com for more ideas for great places to getaway and visit in Arizona! northtatumtimes.com

IN THE DESERT, EVERY DROP COUNTS. When it comes to water, it all adds up. This is why, living in a desert city, we spend considerable time and energy protecting water and finding ways to save more of it.

Being prepared. It’s what happens when you SEE WATER DIFFERENTLY.
