Plexus Worldwide donates 4,000 bags of replacement shakes Plexus Worldwide made a sizable donation to St. Mary’s Food Bank to help meet the increased demand from the coronavirus.

Plexus delivered more than 4,000 bags of its popular Lean Meal Replacement Shakes to the Phoenix nonprofit, enough to fill 11 pallets. Each bag of Plexus Pumpkin Spice Lean and Plexus Lean Vegetarian contains 14 servings, which will provide more than 57,000 meals to Arizona families in need.

“Plexus is dedicated to fighting food insecurity in our local community and around the world, so it was important to support our local community partner during this crisis that has left so many people unable to put food on their table,” says Tarl Robinson, founder and CEO of Plexus.

“Plexus has been a great partner in the battle against hunger, and we are thankful to Tarl and everyone on his team for this generous donation, and for all the contributions they have provided for our families,”

marcela@somarrealestate.com www.somarrealestate.com

says Tom Kertis, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Food Bank.

Throughout the year, Plexus’ philanthropy department works closely with the food bank to provide donations and volunteers. Last year, employees volunteered more than 800 hours packing emergency food boxes in the Knight Distribution Center during two service weeks. All of it was covered by the Plexus Volunteer Time Off Program, which provides paid hours for charitable work.

“As a health and happiness company, we are so proud of all the efforts our employees have contributed to help those less fortunate,” says Alec Clark, founder and president. “That’s why we partner with amazing organizations like St. Mary’s Food Bank to fight food insecurity on a global scale.”

All Plexus Lean Meal Replacement Shakes are packed with protein, essential vitamins and minerals, and fiber for a balanced diet. …continues on page 8

Thunderbird Charities donates 32 mattresses to Family Promise Family Promise of Greater Phoenix, a nonprofit organization that rescues primarily first-time homeless families and their pets and helps them return to independence, received a donation of 32 mattresses from Scottsdale-based Thunderbird Charities. This donation is part of Thunderbird Charities emergency funding and support for Valley nonprofits due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Family Promise is sheltering more than a dozen families at its day center in South Scottsdale. Before the coronavirus pandemic, Family Promise relied on its network of volunteer churches and synagogues to shelter and feed the families it serves while Family Promise assisted these families on their journey back to self-sufficiency. Family Promise has abandoned its communitybased model to protect its volunteers and families from potential spread of the virus.

Family Promise says the mattress donation is crucial to providing comfort and care to the families that it is currently sheltering.

“When the coronavirus pandemic began, we had to act quickly to ensure that our volunteers and families were safe by halting our regular operations and creating a

temporary shelter at our Scottsdale facility,” says Ted Taylor, executive director of Family Promise of Greater Phoenix.

“The donation of mattresses from the Thunderbirds will help our families feel comfortable in their current lodging as we work with them to navigate this challenging time.

We thank the Thunderbirds for their generous contribution.”

Russ Lyon Charitable Foundation donates $10K to food banks

The Russ Lyon Charitable Foundation, a subsidiary of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, donated $10,000 to nine food banks across Arizona in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The various offices will donate the funds to food banks around Arizona.

The rippling effects of the coronavirus pandemic are not only affecting businesses, restaurants and bars, but local food banks as well. Food banks across the state are continuing to provide resources to people in need within their communities.

However, with more families experiencing lapses in income, food and necessities brought on by the coronavirus, supplies and volunteers at food banks are starting to decrease.

“The Russ Lyon Charitable Foundation strives to improve lives and communities of those in need while spreading compassion and kindness within our state,” says Todd Gillenwater, CEO of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty and founder of Russ Lyon Charitable Foundation. “During these

“During these unprecedented times, we are very grateful to be in a position to give back and have the ability to assist organizations that provide essential resources to communities and individuals in dire need.”

unprecedented times, we are very grateful to be in a position to give back and have the ability to assist organizations that provide essential resources to communities and individuals in dire need.”

The Russ Lyon Charitable Foundation seeks to provide valuable and meaningful service work within communities as well as charitable investments. Since the foundation began in 2014, over $500,000 has been contributed toward various nonprofit Arizona-based organizations through direct donations, service-work hours, matching funds, sponsorships and fundraisers.

coverage of the law and the growing cannabis industry.

In the national ranking, the Green Market Report cited Rose Law Group’s expertise and experience with cannabis-related clients.

“The firm has industry-specific knowledge and experience in every aspect of the legal, administrative, regulatory and busi-

ness issues facing those in the medical and adult-use cannabis industries,” according to the Green Market Report.

Rose Law Group’s national ranking comes as the coronavirus and its economic and societal impacts are turning the world upside down for many businesses and industries.

For medical marijuana dispensaries, the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting a substantial surge in business as patients stock up on medicine and those with underlying conditions try to avoid traditional medical settings.

Like other businesses, cannabis dispensaries are navigating how to operate and keep serving patients during coronavirusrelated shutdowns and “shelter-in-place” recommendations.

Rose Law Group is uniquely positioned to help medical marijuana dispensaries and other cannabis-related business work their way through this unprecedented situation.

Rose Law Group has created an innovative and client-focused Coronavirus Task Force to help existing and new clients deal with the myriad of issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The firm is helping businesses apply for Small Business Administration loans and other assistance, secure new and rework existing financing, and deal with employment and operational issues.

Rotary continues to give during crisis

Even though the coronavirus outbreak is impacting The Rotary Club of Scottsdale’s weekly meetings, the club is still serving Scottsdale. The club’s board approved via phone/ internet a $10,000 donation to Scottsdale’s Vista Del Camino.

Vista del Camino provides a variety of services to Scottsdale residents to prevent homelessness, meet the basic needs of individuals and families in crisis, relieve economic and emotional stress, and assist individuals to maintain self-sufficiency.

Scottsdale Community Partner programs provide crisis support to three primary populations living in poverty within Scottsdale: youth, families and seniors/disabled adults. All participants are screened by Scottsdale social workers as living below defined poverty guidelines, ensuring the programs and services are reaching those in true need.

“It is important to help those in need at this time,” says Christopher West, the club’s vice president-elect.

“Several members have made food donations to Vista Del Camino and assisted with the pickup and delivery of the donated good. The club is searching for community matching gifts to augment this $10,000 donation.”

To donate monies, call 480-945-6158. To donate food and/ or household goods, call Vista Del Camino at 480-312-2323.

“This is but another wonderful example of how the members of Rotary Club of Scottsdale demonstrate the values they espouse and their commitment to the safety and betterment of our community,” says Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane, an honorary Rotarian.

“In these times, this donation is particularly meaningful for those who have been thrown into a situation of physical and financial uncertainty. As mayor of Scottsdale and on behalf of our citizens, thank you.”

anks are adapting their business practices to align with the problems created by the coronavirus crisis.

With a location at 90th Street and East Via Linda, FirstBank is helping those impacted by the novel coronavirus pandemic with a customer-assistance program, increased compensation for on-site employees, and its newly created Nonprofit Emergency Relief Fund.

“We recognize that the global spread of coronavirus has serious financial implications for millions of families,” FirstBank CEO Jim Reuter says. “We want to do what we can to ensure our customers, communities and employees have the resources needed to get through these challenging times.”

To date, FirstBank’s efforts for qualified individuals include: Loan relief programs Consumer loan deferrals: FirstBank is giving consumer borrowers who are directly or indirectly impacted by the coronavirus the ability to defer up to three payments on residential mortgage loans, home equity installment loans and consumer installment loans. Customers can email mortgageservice@efirstbank.com or contact 1-833-962-1506 to discuss their mortgage, home equity or personal loan.

Business and commercial loan support: FirstBank is also committed to helping business customers who are experiencing financial hardships as a result of the pandemic. Commercial borrowers may have the ability to defer up to three payments. To discuss an existing commercial loan, borrowers should contact their FirstBank loan officer or the bank’s main customer service department at 1-800-964-3444 (option 0) to inquire about available assistance.

Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program: As a preferred SBA lender, FirstBank is enabling its business depositors and borrowers to apply for Paycheck Protection. The program is designed to not only help businesses keep or rehire employees, but pay loan interest, rent and utilities.

The loan is also eligible for forgiveness by the SBA. More information and how to apply is

available on FirstBank’s website by clicking on the “Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program” banner. Customers can also reach out to their FirstBank loan officer to learn more.

Other Customer Assistance Additionally, FirstBank is extending financial flexibility to customers who are taking unpaid time off due to quarantine and whose employer does not offer paid leave in these circumstances.

For example, it is offering fee refunds. Fees such as nonsufficient fund fees, Visa card fees and early withdrawal penalties will be waived or refunded for impacted customers. If related to their quarantine situation, customers may also be able to avoid transactional fees for bank offerings such as wires, cashier’s checks or money orders.

Employee Health and Safety FirstBank is taking necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of its employees and customers. For instance, the majority of FirstBank locations are accessible via drive-up or by appointment only, while other branches have been temporarily closed.

An up-to-date list of active locations can be found on FirstBank’s branch status page.

It also expanded its remote working capabilities and is following strict adherence to all cleaning procedures and social distancing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Additionally, FirstBank has increased pay for on-site employees, providing an additional $2 per hour for all hourly employees who are needed at branch locations or in office to support customer volume.

It also instituted an emergency sick leave policy, where employees experiencing symptoms or in quarantine can receive two additional weeks of paid leave. The new policy also covers parents who are unable to work or telework due to school or day care closures. The bank is committed to working with employees should they need more time off for recovery or quarantine.

FirstBank indicated it is in a strong financial position to not only bolster community support but weather the economic implications brought on by the virus.

“We have always prioritized long-term stability and smart, conservative lending over quick gains,” Reuter added. “That approach has helped us come out of several economic downturns stronger than before. We’re confident that will be the case this time around.”

Info: efirstbankblog.com/coronavirus WaFd Bank With 31 branches across Arizona, WaFd Bank has launched an assistance program specifically designed for homeowners impacted by the coronavirus that allows monthly mortgage payments to be deferred for three months.

Scottsdale voters approved three bond questions totaling $319 million in November 2019 to fund projects throughout the city, including a $23.5 million repair project at Indian Bend Wash at Vista del Camino Park.

Financial Implications

A

s Scottsdale city leaders grapple with the financial implications of the coronavirus crisis, they also are weighing whether or not to delay infrastructure projects connected to the $319 million bond approved by voters last November.

The city has already approved some smaller bond projects—including some needed fire department expenditures—but was planning to spend the bulk of bond proceeds over the next five years.

But during a hearing on next year ’s city budget, Councilman Guy Phillips suggested delaying bond projects amid the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

An early draft of the city’s next budget presented to City Council on April 7 showed it allocating $241.5 million from the 2019 bond between 2020 and 2025—including

about $36 million over the next 12 to 18 months to fund portions of 30 projects.

Then the coronavirus hit, forcing the city to reckon with potentially devastating economic consequences as it confronts significant drops in major revenue sources like sales tax, which comprises about 42% of the city’s general fund revenues.

The pandemic has devastated the city’s tourism industry, which accounts for around one-third of the city’s economic output, Mayor Jim Lane says.

Lane says there have been discussions on how the current economic downturn will affect bond spending but that “there hasn’t been a final line on this.”

Scottsdale City Engineer Dave Lipinski said that budget presented on April 7 had been prepared prior to the pandemic and could be changed in the coming weeks.

“As staff works forward over the next few weeks to refine the budget and to make

Pandemic complicates city bond picture

By Wayne Schutsky

adjustments in reaction to the current situation, all projects will be reviewed for timing and impact,” Lipinski says.

Delaying bond projects could make sense if the city takes a significant hit to revenues so that city can avoid taking on additional debt.

“Issuing a bond means committing to making expenses … When you talk about committing to additional expenses that you don’t have absolutely have to do right now, that may not make sense,” says Akheil Singla, an assistant professor at ASU’s School of Public Affairs.

Scottsdale officials will have to weigh whether or not the cost of delaying bond projects—some involving essential infrastructure—outweighs the risk posed by spending in the face of an economic downturn. …continues on page 16

AIRPARK Buzz …continued from page 14 “Are any of those things essential to the point where not doing them could be more costly than doing them?” Singla says.

Singla says Scottsdale is heavily reliant on sales tax revenues, like many other Valley cities, meaning it will likely be hit hard by the current economic downturn that has been driven by the shuttering of businesses that generate that tax revenue.

“COVID-19 basically changes the revenue picture for all governments, but where that’s most significant is at the state and local level,” Singla says.

Cities like Scottsdale will have to balance maintaining critical services like police, fire and water while also grappling with that lost revenue.

“Choices will have to be made,” says Singla, noting that cities can choose to delay capital expenditures in order to stave off layoffs, furloughs or cuts to city services.

The city will also have to look at how the current economic uncertainty is affecting the market for borrowing, which, despite low interest rates, may actually work against cities looking to fund bond projects.

Singla says many people think “well the (Federal Reserve) dropped rates, so now’s a good time to borrow; it doesn’t necessarily

work that way for municipal governments.”

Singla says it was probably actually cheaper for cities to borrow money in February before the coronavirus took hold in the United States than now, because the number of institutions willing to give cities loans has fluctuated over the past six weeks due to the current economic uncertainty.

“The cost of borrowing went up in some cases as high as three and four times as high as six weeks prior, but the last couple of weeks that stabilized,” he explains.

“But it’s not like you’re going to get a great deal if you want the money right now,” Singla says. “You just may not be paying a premium like you were four weeks ago.”

But Lane says there are reasons the city may decide not to delay projects, including the potential to save on construction costs during the downturn.

“There are two things that could happen and we haven’t substantiated this completely at this point in time,” Lane says. “And that is that cost of construction, and particularly materials, could take a significant drop, or at least it’s anticipated if it hasn’t already been seen to some extent.”

The city of Scottsdale is still discussing how the economic downturn brought on by COVID-19 will affect spending on bond projects like an complete overhaul at Cactus Pool.

Rising construction costs over the past decade have driven up capital project costs for local governments.

In May 2019, the City Council approved a $4.2 million contract for the construction of Fire Station 603 funded by proceeds from a bond passed in 2015. The price exceeded initial projects by $1.5 million due to increased land and construction costs.

According to the City Council memo “from 2014, when the estimate was created until the time of bid, the Valley has seen a rate of inflation within the construction industry between 18% and 23% and a current shortage of labor within the Phoenix Area Market.”

Thus, Lane says, “There’s an opportunity to actually reduce even the final element of cost below what was estimated.”

Finances may not be the only factor the city considers as it looks at whether or not to continue with 2019 bond projects, which were approved by around 70% of voters.

“And that gets not just meaningful in terms of you don’t want to anger your residents,” Singla says. “Governments exist to provide services to their community, and the community voted pretty overwhelmingly in favor of these services.” 

The Thunderbirds aid coronavirus-affected nonprofits

T

Thunderbirds Charities)

By Alexa Glidic

hunderbirds Charities recently provided $1 million in emergency funding to several Arizona charities, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley, St. Mary’s Food Bank, Assistance League of Phoenix and Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

The funding came from the money raised through the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Thunderbirds President Chance Cozby, known as the “Big Chief,” says it’s important to support the community.

“We have a world in need, we have a nation in need, and we have a local community in need,” Cozby says.

The Thunderbirds are evaluating requests and will not scope nor limit their search for organizations they will fund next.

“Thunderbirds are mainly (supporting) women and children in need, but we try not to limit that,” Cozby says.

The funds will be directed toward organizations that existed prior to the pandemic.

“We are not certainly limited in times like this,” Cozby says. “Whether it’s hospitals, food banks, and so on, we’re taking a look at everyone individually and doing the best we can.”

Jerry Brown, St. Mary’s Food Bank’s public relations director, said the donation from the Thunderbirds was generous and timely. The food St. Mary’s Food Bank receives from grocery stores makes up 20% of its take.

“Our food bank has stopped totally because (stores are) so busy restocking their shelves and everything is going out,” Brown says.

Marisol Salvidar, public relations manager for The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, said the organization has also received help from the Thunderbirds.

“The Thunderbirds’ donation is going immediately to food support, equipment and supplies necessary in emergency response,”

Salvidar says.

There are other organizations stepping up in addition to the Thunderbirds to help charities like The Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

“In the first week of our COVID-19 response, Tacos Tijuana donated 300 burritos for to-go meals served out of our family dining room, and another generous donor (Mike Snitz) bought about 100 pizzas from La Piazza restaurants for our Phoenix dining room and CASS,” Salvidar says.

The nonprofit is grateful for the Thunderbirds’ donation.

“Their generous gift, which came early in our response and just in time to meet many pressing needs, is truly making all the difference while setting the example for what selfless generosity looks like in trying times,” Salvidar says.

Cassidy Campana, vice president of communications and external affairs for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, says the money she received from the Thunderbirds will allow the organization to have extended hours and to hire additional staff. With the extra help, kids can participate in small groups and follow social distancing practices.

A single mother of two and medical field worker, Shanel Richardson says the donation from the Thunderbirds to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley was “amazing and very beneficial.”

“Without the club I don’t know what I will do,” Richardson says.

There are 12 Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley that are meeting the community’s needs.

Campana says there is a possibility that other clubs may reopen.

The Assistance League of Phoenix received a grant for its Operation School Bell. The Delivering Dreams Bus is the mobile unit of Operation School Bell, the signature program of Assistance League of Phoenix, and serves

more than 8,500 students each school year through the bus and the satellite dressing center located in Sunnyslope.

“Thunderbirds Charities has been a longstanding partner of ours,” says Aimee Runyon, CEO, Assistance League of Phoenix. “Their generous donation provided much needed support to fill our new buses with shoes & clothing. We are thrilled to add the Thunderbirds Charities to our two new buses, as one of our greatest supporters.”

Assistance League of Phoenix partners with more than 90 Title I schools throughout the year. Each school can select up to 100 children who qualify for the program (students on the free or reduced lunch program). Once on board the Delivering Dream Bus, students work with volunteers to select correct sizes.

Each student receives a bundle of items valued at approximately $200 to $250 that includes two bottoms, three tops, six pair of socks, six underwear, a sweatshirt, belt, a pair of shoes, and a personalized health kit full of hygiene items.

“The Delivering Dreams Bus program will serve more students in need,” Cozby says. “We are proud our support will ensure that students can receive shoes & clothing.”

Cozby says Thunderbirds Charities weren’t looking for recognition.

“This pandemic has changed everyone’s lives and is changing lives on an hourly basis,” Cozby says. “We are very hesitant to announce that we provided this emergency fund to the community.”

However, the organization decided to announce the donations because “it’s the right thing to do,” he adds.

“The community needs a good story and the community needs to hear good news,” Cozby said. “We also are hoping that maybe our gift will inspire others that are in the position to give.” 

Progress on

PAUSE The pandemic has shaken U.S. business, but the Airpark always pulls through

By Jimmy Magahern

s the founding partner of Colliers International’s Scottsdale office, Jim Keeley has earned a reputation as kind of an Airpark oracle, a prophetic prognosticator of future developments around the Scottsdale Airport.

He began publishing his annual predictions in 1981, in what he then called the “Greater Scottsdale Airpark 2010 Report,” eventually updated to the “2030 Report,” and it’s become a reliable forecaster of market conditions.

But even this runway Nostradamus was thrown for a loop by the global outbreak

Keeley expresses “resilient caution” that Airpark businesses will persevere post-pandemic.

But he predicts employees granted the opportunity to work from home may find it hard to forgo telecommuting once things return to normal.

of the coronavirus COVID-19, which in March forced companies worldwide to indefinitely cancel business travel, shutter offices and mothball events.

Keeley expresses “resilient caution” that Airpark businesses will persevere post-pandemic. But he predicts employees granted the opportunity to work from home may find it hard to forgo telecommuting once things return to normal.

“This may be the tipping point,” he says.

“We’ve been talking about telecommuting for at least the past 10 years and predicting that the demand for office space will shrink. And I would say to a certain degree that’s been happening: One reason we’re not seeing as much office space being built is because of companies using telecommuting and coworking spaces like WeWork, which give them more flexibility.

“But this place we’re in right now is interesting. I think more and more companies may say, ‘Well, this did work, our employees love it, and looking ahead to how we plan our office demand in future, we may continue to watch this evolve and take this model more into consideration.’”

18 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

Power in the pause

The business reset forced by the pandemic actually follows a pattern of pauses the Airpark economy has already weathered, according to Keeley—although not everybody has noticed.

“A lot of people say, ‘Wow, it’s been over 10 years since the big recession of 2008-2009 and we haven’t had another downturn yet.’

But the reality is we actually have had some mini-recessions.”

He points to 2011, when investors, fearing a double-dip recession, “tapped the brakes” on purchases and growth, followed by the federal rate hike in December 2015, which coincided with a marked slowdown in industrial production. Pre-pandemic, Keeley says lowered CEO confidence and manufacturing slowdowns caused another pause, which for some companies came to a near full stop after the outbreak.

“This is a bigger pause,” Keeley admits.

“Hopefully it passes. For the most part, though, these many little bumps have actually helped the Airpark grow modestly.”

18-hour city

The increase in Airpark employees working from home fits in somewhat with

the Airpark’s live-work-play lifestyle, another trend Keeley predicted years ago that has gained real-world traction. There are now more than 9,000 apartment units mixed in among the new retail and office spaces, many occupied by young workers and entrepreneurs who favor flexible work hours and a robust nightlife.

That lifestyle has, in turn, given birth to what Keeley calls the “18-hour city,” with breweries and restaurants doing brisk business late into the night. If not exactly 24-hour party people, the Airpark’s new millennial masters enjoy burning the candle at both ends, which Keeley says creates a lively “urban character” attracting both employers and job seekers.

“Ten years ago, most of the buildings around the Airpark were empty after 6 p.m., after the employees in the various

industrial parks went home,” he says. “The restaurants in the middle of the Airpark tried to survive, but they didn’t do so well after dark. Now, with the addition of the newer apartments and different types of retail and restaurants, you see people out milling around all day and all night. Maybe not at midnight, but at least until 10 p.m.”

And it’s not all millennials, either.

“We also have a lot of 55- to 65-year-olds who are selling the house and they want to live, work and play in the same place.

They don’t want to have to drive. They’d rather rent an apartment or condo in the area and just walk around and enjoy all the activity.”

Nationwide on our side

Construction of new office space has slowed down compared to previous

years, but there are a few big projects in the making.

“The Axis Raintree by Trammell Crow is under construction at Raintree and the Loop 101, which is one of the first spec buildings that’s been done in 10 years,” Keeley says. “That’s a 175,000-square-foot building, and I think they’ll fill it up during construction and you’ll probably see another project follow that. But we’re not seeing five of those going up at once, like we did before,” he adds, citing escalating land prices as the cause.

“But then we have the new Nationwide Insurance campus under construction at Hayden Road and the Loop 101, and that’s an exciting project. That’s 134 acres, which will include a Choice Hotel, and they’re going to eventually add more hotels and …continues on page 20

more apartments to that project. That’s going to revitalize that whole area.”

Still in the planning stages is the CrackerJax redevelopment, where a yet-unnamed developer will bulldoze the popular 27-year-old family fun park and construct a mixed-use project on the land, which measures roughly twice the size of the Scottsdale Quarter. “That’ll be a good infill project in the middle of all the commerce going on in the Airpark to complement Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter. So there’s still lots to be excited about.”

Tech tenants

Gone is the hype about the Airpark becoming a Silicon Valley suburb, although the ed-tech company Shmoop University moved into the area last July and Tesla recently opened a 40,000-square-foot service center on Raintree Drive, nearly four times the size of its previous imprint in the Airpark.

The addition of the tech companies brings the attendant tech workers, who lean toward the non-9-to-5 lifestyle the Airpark offers.

“We definitely have more tech companies here now than we did five years ago, and those employees tend to work in shifts that fit in with that 18-hour day. Some will start at 6 a.m. and knock off at 2, while others will come in at noon and work till 8 o’clock at night. So those industries fit in well here.”

“We definitely have more tech companies here now than we did five years ago, and those employees tend to work in shifts that fit in with that 18-hour day,” Keeley says.

“Some will start at 6 a.m. and knock off at 2, while others will come in at noon and work till 8 o’clock at night. So those industries fit in well here.”

As for Keeley’s actual predictions for 2030, he envisions autonomous cars, electric planes and “always-on” virtual assistants doing the bidding of on-the-go CEOs. “The Southeast Valley—Tempe, Mesa, Chandler—has more going on with the autonomous vehicles at the moment,” he admits. “But I expect we’ll eventually see more of them here, too.”

Plus, if the work-from-home boom continues after the coronavirus “flattens the curve” between health care system capacity and caseload, we may just see some tech entrepreneurs telecommuting to Cupertino from the Quarter.

“We get so many calls from California companies that come here and they just rave about how nice and affordable it is,” says Keeley, always the Airpark cheerleader. “I see no reason why more industries won’t want to come here and keep the area growing.” 

RENT

Relief

OPTIONS Andrea Davis navigates business owners through leasing challenges

By Andrea Davis

I

t’s been a rough start for 2020. But whether the turbulence proves to be short-lived or not, this change in volatility just underscores the value of being well prepared to handle any unexpected economic challenge as a business owner. That includes the challenges one may face when leasing commercial real estate space.

Despite the disruptions in the market and economy due to COVID-19, it’s important to remember that challenges can bring new opportunities. The actions you take during this time could affect your business’ future.

If your business is struggling financially, be proactive and talk to your landlord or property manager about rent-relief options.

Make sure this is in writing to help prevent all parties from forgetting exactly what was agreed to. Remember, there is no standard negotiation between tenant and landlord.

Be kind during the ask and throughout the negotiation process. Everyone is in this together. Here are some potential options your landlord may offer: • A rent waiver for a short period of time.

Keep in mind, your landlord will request proof that you are financially overwhelmed.

A rent waiver is not paid back to the landlord; however, they may want something in return, such as a personal guarantee or an early renewal of your lease.

• Your landlord may also offer you a rent

deferral option, which could defer your rent for a few months. In return, they may have you extend your lease out accordingly.

Again, the landlord will want proof that your business is under duress.

As you’re reviewing all your options, it’s important to know that Arizona has put “commercial stays on evictions” through May 31. In short, during this time period, landlords “shall” play nice with nonprofits and small businesses, yet tenants’ obligations are not relieved. Additionally, lenders “shall consider” providing an opportunity for a forbearance to the landlord. Typically, in a commercial lease, landlords can

evict you if you choose not to pay rent on time without a written agreement stating otherwise. In most cases, the law favors the landlord.

If you can’t work out an arrangement with your landlord, you may want to engage a commercial real estate attorney.

The attorney will guide you through your legal options, if there are any. If you do decide to move forward in hiring a commercial real estate attorney, consider discussing if you can make a case with one of the following: • Force majeure: A force majeure clause is a contractual provision that excuses one or

MAY 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

25

both parties’ contractual obligations when circumstances arise that are beyond control and make performance of the contract impractical or impossible.

• Act of God: An act of God describes an event outside of human control. It’s usually related to a natural disaster, such as a flood or tornado.

• Impossibility: A party can invoke impossibility and argue that it did not perform its contractual obligations because it was impossible for it to do so. The key issue is defining what is true impossibility, as the other party could argue it was not impossible but merely difficult or burdensome.

• Frustration of purpose: Under some state laws, the frustration-of-purpose doctrine may be invoked where performance remains possible but the fundamental reason of both parties for entering into the contract has been frustrated by an unanticipated supervening circumstance and it destroys substantially the value of performance by the party standing on the contract.

• Tenant’s business insurance coverage: Business insurance typically protects the tenant when there is a casualty associated with the physical property. Generally, the type of required insurance by your lease does not cover a business interruption due to a government shutdown. Yet it doesn’t

hurt to ask your insurance agent how your policy is worded to see if you are covered during these trying times.

• Landlord’s rental loss policy: The landlord’s rental loss insurance is designed to cover the landlord if the tenant cannot pay his/her rent. How much the landlord can collect is determined by each policy. Does it cover a landlord if the landlord offers a rent waiver? Again, this varies policy to policy.

Perhaps you aren’t in a situation where you need to discuss rent relief options at this time. It’s still important to recognize all the ways you can protect your business. Negotiating or renewing a new lease during the COVID-19 turmoil may be in the tenant’s favor. Below are a few tips that I hope will be useful for businesses that are searching for their dream office and negotiating a lease during this time: • Hire an experienced tenant representation to guide you through the entire lease transaction—at no cost to you so you can have your dream office without breaking the bank.

• Understand the balance between economics and location. A high-profile location is sexy and costly, yet not always necessary to conduct a successful business.

• Define your space requirements ahead of time. Poor utilization of space is where

26 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

companies lose a lot of money. Often the landlord will pay for a space plan.

• Purchase an industry guidebook, like “SimpLEASEity” that guides you through the lease process, provides details to find the perfect location, explains how to negotiate a killer lease and put more money into your business instead of your landlord’s pocket.

• Everything in a lease is negotiable. Don’t settle for an OK deal.

• Always have agreed-upon lease terms in writing. In disputes, the written lease rules.

It is too soon to know the outcome of the pandemic and how the country will fair.

One thing is for sure: It’s never a bad idea to take control of your long-term interests and feel confident knowing your business is protected.  Andrea Davis, CCIM, has practiced commercial real estate for more than 20 years. Davis’ breadth of knowledge stretches from developers to landlords to buyer/tenant representation and investments. Her book “SimpLEASEity” focuses on leasing and is the first in a series of commercial real estate guidebooks. Her next book, “Simply Own It, the American Dream,” is forthcoming this year.

During this challenging time, interpretation of laws is shifting daily and new laws are being enacted on a regular basis, so the information included in this article is as up to date as possible.

Soul and Inspiration Airpark addiction center offers help for pandemic fear and anxiety

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

T

he COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the moods of those in the best frame of mind.

But what about those who have behavioral or addiction issues?

“The main national crisis hotlines are experiencing a 900% increase in call volume since this pandemic started,” says Dr. Ravi Chandiramani, the chief medical officer of Scottsdale Airpark-based Soul Surgery, an integrative medicine addiction center.

“They’ve had to staff more hotline operators. We saw similar things happen during 9/11. This is a lot more drawn out. As opposed to 9/11, what people are experiencing is loss of income, loss of employment, and relationship issues. It’s magnifying, too, run-of-the-mill anxiety,

depression and stress.”

Chandiramani says couples are used to being at their respective workplaces during the day and reuniting after hours. Being holed up during a quarantine is trying.

“It can be taxing to relationships that don’t have healthy boundaries,” he adds.

“In addition to that, the people who didn’t have substance-abuse disorders are finding themselves in a situation where they are developing dysfunctional and unhealthy relationships with substances to cope with emotional strife and distress.”

Soul Surgery has been providing a broad spectrum of behavioral health services for the community for several years, according to Chandiramani.

“At the moment, we operate residential treatment facilities and outpatient facilities,” he says. “Very shortly, we’ll be opening a new detox facility in Scottsdale.

At any given time, we’re treating about 100 patients through our continuum of care.”

Soul Surgery is continuing to treat during the pandemic, while others facilities are struggling to keep their doors open.

28 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

During this pandemic, treatment is even more important because those with behavioral health issues may renew or start unhealthy relationships with drugs and alcohol, says Ravi Chandiramani of Soul Surgery. (Photo courtesy Soul Surgery)

“Unfortunately, behavioral health organizations nationwide have had to close,” he says. “The federal government discussed deploying significant funds to keep (medical facilities) in business and operational. We don’t have great resources for behavioral health. The few resources that are available are finding themselves having a difficult time staying open.

“We took the position that we could not close our doors or otherwise limit the services we offer to our patients. We figured out how to not only keep the patients we were already serving, but how to effectively and continually serve the community. If we can’t figure out how to make it work when the community needs us most, we would be doing our

community a disservice.”

Chandiramani and his staff are passionate about that, especially because those with behavioral issues may not have the best coping tools.

During this pandemic, treatment is even more important because those with behavioral health issues may renew or start unhealthy relationships with drugs and alcohol, Chandiramani says.

“There’s a subsection of the population embracing this opportunity, during the quarantine, to create lifestyle change,” he adds.

New Year’s resolutions are bubbling to the surface and folks are exercising, renovating their home, taking up hobbies and spending time with family.

“People are, perhaps, exercising regularly for the first time in a really long time,” Chandiramani says. “People are communi-

cating with loved ones and spending quality time with spouses and children in a way they haven’t had a time before.

“They’re taking time to work on their relationships. People are choosing to find remote areas to commune with nature through hiking. Maybe all of this was the universe’s, the planet’s way of saying, ‘You’ve gotten too far away from nature.’”  Soul Surgery Integrative Medicine Addiction Centers 14362 N.

H

By Claire Natale ave you ever had a great cup of coffee that stopped you in your tracks? Made you look into your cup and think, “I did not know coffee could be this good?” It may have had notes of blueberry, mango or jasmine, and for some reason it resonated on the palate and stood out above all others.

The answer is in the quality of the farm’s coffee and the roaster’s skill. Coffee is like wine in that where it is grown and how the beans are harvested, dried and then roasted all affect the flavor in the cup. Coffee beans and the final brew have different characteristics, similar to how the way wine is produced or aged can affect the flavor.

The Valley’s Press Coffee has borrowed a strategy from the wine world with its Allocation Coffee. This line of specialty coffee will only include selections that score over 90 points from the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s rating scale. The goal is to showcase some of the world’s rarest coffees and introduce the community to the nuances of high-end specialty offerings.

“Specialty coffee” refers to coffee that has scored over 80 points on a 100-point scale by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. Specialty coffees are different from commodity coffee. The beans come from higher-elevation regions. Soil, growing conditions and harvesting are all accounted for as a Q grader evaluates

and gives the final score. The coffee must have minimum defects and, when roasted, produce a clean, vibrant and amazing cup.

The coffee is scored and evaluated on size consistency, aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body, balance, uniformity, cleanness of the cup, sweetness and defects.

“We are thrilled to launch this specialty coffee program,” says Will Andrews, head roaster of Press Coffee.

“We pride ourselves on being a leader in specialty coffee, finding some of the world’s rarest beans and roasting them here in Phoenix. We are excited to give this opportunity to our staff and customers, as it is our passion to enjoy and immerse ourselves in the best coffee in the world.”

These specialty coffees are released quarterly with a limited quantity available.

Online subscribers will be offered their allocation first, then each retail store will be supplied a limited amount to serve customers as a pour-over and any remaining will be sold on the website. The first allocation was released April 1. The 6-ounce package retailed for $26.

Press Coffee also takes education seriously. The company offers Coffee 101 classes to teach guests about how coffee is grown and the different characteristics to look for when tasting specialty coffee. It also includes tips for brewing consistent and great coffee at home. Press’ experts stress the importance of water, equipment and beans.

Using high-quality, locally roasted coffee

is recommended. Using specialty coffee is not mandatory, but in many aficionados’ opinion, it is consistently the best.

Water makes up 98% of coffee, so knowing your source is important. It is recommended to use water that has a total dissolved solids (TDS) count of 150 parts per million (PPM). Phoenix tap water typically has 450 PPM, which is considered safe to drink but does not taste the best. Most filtered water has a TDS reading of 20 to 50 PPM, which is far too low. Press Coffee recommends using Third Wave Water mineral packets. Adding one to distilled water will bring your TDS to the ideal levels consistently when making coffee.

Finally, the equipment used to brew your coffee is extremely important. For consistently good coffee, controlling quantity, temperature, time and turbulence are key.

Using freshly ground coffee and grinding at home is best. Then measure the coffee and water so you use the correct ratios.

Most commercial coffee machines do not give enough control or heat consistency, so it is recommended to use a Clever dripper or Aeropress, which have a better filter and immersion technique and produce quality, consistent cups every time. 

Pass the Pinot Light and bright, pinot noir is perfect spring sipper

By Alison Bailin Batz

hile many think about big cabs and buttery chards when they think American wines, pinot noir—a dry red bursting with seasonal fruit flavors including strawberry, cherry, raspberry and blackberry—is a sneaky giant in the wine industry. Of the dozens of varietals available, in fact, pinot noir consistently ranks in the top five most popular wines nationwide. It is so popular that Oregon hosts a celebration of the grape each year, the International Pinot Noir Celebration, which brings together more than 300 producers across the globe to celebrate the delicate and delicious wine.

New to noir? Here are some best bets, all conveniently available online and easily shipped to Arizona: Sperling Vineyards Pinot Noir 2016 This 100% organic pinot noir from the growing wine region of British Columbia in Canada is a bit spicy with definite aromas of strawberry.

What’s Cooking?

with JAN D’ATRI One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore

I

t’s a one-pot Italian wonder! That’s what my momma’s comfort food chicken cacciatore recipe should be named.

As a little Italian girl growing up, I just thought it was one of those dishes everyone ate at least once a week—just like we did—with polenta or pasta.

I also assumed that all chicken cacciatore pretty much tasted the same.

But many years later, having tasted chicken cacciatore in numerous restaurants, I’m going to finally go on the record and say that momma’s is the best. You’re going to get to try it for yourself and see if you agree.

Momma’s cacciatore is simple, inexpensive, uses only one pan, and the flavors are absolutely divine. It’s about as close to a fool-proof dish as you can get with the recipe I’m sharing with you today.

Momma’s chicken cacciatore was one of the first recipes we included in our first cookbook, “Momma & Me & You,” and through the years we’ve tweaked it just a bit to make it even better.

Here’s what momma wrote in our cookbook: “Almost every Italian restaurant has chicken cacciatore on the menu, and

there are as many versions of the dish as there are places that serve it. Although it’s a southern Italian specialty, it has been adopted as a treasure throughout Italy. When I introduced cacciatore on my restaurant menu back in 1957, our customers fell in love with the very first delicate bite. It became one of our most

popular signature dishes for the celebrity crowd and locals alike.”

I find that good quality, fresh chicken enhances the taste—and that chicken thighs seem to be the most flavorful.

Pick up a nice bottle of wine, some good sourdough bread and make this for your momma this Mother’s Day! 

Jan’s Momma’s Chicken Cacciatore (serves four) Ingredients: 3 to 4 pounds chicken thighs 1 cup flour for dredging 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup Marsala wine 1/2 cube butter, cut into pieces 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (organic preferred) 2 cups white mushrooms, sliced 1 large sweet yellow onion, chopped fine 3 cloves of garlic, chopped fine 3 green onions (white and green parts), sliced thin 2 teaspoons fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano 1 tablespoon fresh basil Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

34 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

Directions: Wash chicken and pat dry. Dredge chicken in flour to coat. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil and fry chicken on both sides until golden brown. Discard most of oil, leaving brown bits in bottom of pan, if possible. Add Marsala and butter, and simmer on low heat until wine begins to evaporate, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato sauce, mushrooms, onion, garlic, green onions, parsley, oregano and basil. Gently stir ingredients then cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over pasta or polenta.

REMEMBER When

How Scottsdale’s kept in touch by phone

By Joan Fudala

T

o borrow the slogan of an old phone commercial, Scottsdale’s been able to “reach out, reach out and touch someone” by telephone for at least 115 years, but oh, how telecommunications has changed since then.

Thanks to ever-evolving phone technology, Scottsdalians have been able to keep in touch with friends, family and work colleagues/ customers during the COVID-19 crisis.

We shudder to think how isolated we’d be without our see-you-see-me, hear-you-hearme smartphones.

Here’s a call-up of moments in Scottsdalearea phone history:  Although Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876 in his East Coast lab, the new technology didn’t come to the Phoenix area of the Arizona Territory as a phone system until 1891. The Sunset Telephone Co. “arrived from Los Angeles with a crew of line men to erect a Bell Telephone system for Arizona’s capital,” according to the July 18, 1891, Phoenix Daily Herald newspaper.  Likely the first phones in the Scottsdale

area were installed at the zanjero (water master) facilities on the Arizona and Cross-Cut Canals.

On May 6, 1901, two men—Amos Nigh and Peter Johnson— were murdered while working on Winfield Scott’s ranch; the closest phone to report the crime was at the Cross-Cut Canal zanjero’s office. John “Popcorn John” Rubenstein was charged with the crime.  As early as 1907, Scottsdale’s Oasis Villa (later named Graves) guest ranch used a phone number in its advertising. With so few phones, and calls placed through a switchboard operator, often no phone numbers were listed in ads—just “call or write…” and the

Until direct dialing became the norm, most businesses and organizations received calls via a switchboard, as Red Cross volunteer Margaret Roosevelt Kent does in this 1950s photo. (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society)

REMEMBER When Wooden utility poles for telephone and electrical wires were a common sight in Downtown Scottsdale in the 1940s. (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Historical Society)

business’ name.  As reported in the March 20, 1909, Scottsdale news column, which ran weekly in The Arizona Republican, the local correspondent wrote, “Our new telephone line is in, but connections are not made with Phoenix as yet.”

Later that spring, a phone was operating in the small downtown area of Scottsdale; however, it was damaged and temporarily out of order due to a rainstorm in late August 1909.  When the Ingleside Club (later renamed Ingleside Inn) opened as the Scottsdale area’s first luxury resort, its publicity touted that guest rooms were furnished with telephones, that in itself a luxury for the times.  Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company ran an ad in the 1945 Arizona Republic that read, “Returning servicemen are making thousands of long-distance calls.

We want to get their calls through promptly … and we know you’d like to help. So please leave the lines for them during the evening when so many of the boys are calling.”  An August 3, 1950, front-page Op-Ed piece in the Scottsdale Progress was headlined,

“Telephone Service…From Bad to Worse.”

The editorial said, in part, “More and more businesses and residential phones have taxed the existing party lines to the extent that many, if not most, businesses share their line with as many as 10 other firms and residents! We have heard of instances, and have been told ourselves, that people have tried for two and three days to call a business firm … Added to the problem of overcrowded lines is that of a new business being unable to get a phone at all. Three or four months is a short wait for a new phone.”  Rancho Vista Bonita was a remote and rustic guest ranch on the southeast corner of Pima and Pinnacle Peak roads. When it opened in 1950, there were no phone lines linking it to downtown Scottsdale; the managers and guests relied on one car radio/phone, which caused the car’s horn to beep whenever there was an incoming call.  In 1953, Scottsdale phones were linked into the Phoenix metro system of Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph. About this time, the “WH” prefix was added to the previous five-digit phone numbers in Scottsdale.  Until Scottsdale made the landmark aesthetic decision to require undergrounding of utilities, wood utility poles for telephone and electricity lines were a common sight throughout Scottsdale.  By 1957, incoming and outgoing calls on the single phone line to the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center were rapidly becoming too congested, and many people were not able to reach the chamber for visitor information. A second phone line was installed.

 Pay phones began to appear on the East Coast in the late 1880s; phone booths were strategically and conveniently located throughout Scottsdale but began to disappear in the 1990s as more people carried mobile phones.  In 1968, the nation adopted 911 as the universal emergency phone number. Calls were taken in Scottsdale and directed to the Rural Metro Fire Department (the city’s contract fire service at the time), the contracted ambulance service and the Scottsdale Police Department.  For the historic first manned moon landing in July 1969, Scottsdale-based Motorola Government Electronics Group provided voice, data and TV links, giving the world its first live look at the surface of the moon as Armstrong stepped off the lunar landing module and heard his voice say, “One small step…”  During the Vietnam War, U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater connected soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen serving in Southeast Asia to their families in the U.S. using “HAM” radio equipment at his Paradise Valley home. he radio-to-home-phone calls were part of the MARS, or Military Affiliate Radio System, and were a treasured lifeline for keeping loved ones in touch.  Pinnacle Peak General Store opened in 1975 on the site of the former Rancho Vista Bonita guest ranch (southwest corner of Pima and Pinnacle Peak roads). It was the “anchor” of Pinnacle Peak Plaza, also called Plaza de Alamos (as a nod to Scottsdale’s first sister city, Alamos, Mexico). Store manager Steve Simonsen did weather reports by phone for KTAR radio from the store, called “Peek at the Peak.” The Pinnacle Peak area had just been

REMEMBER When hooked up for water and phones.  Much to the disappointment of the audience, Oakland A’s owner Charlie Finley was a no-show as featured speaker at the annual Spring Training baseball kickoff luncheon at the Scottsdale Hilton January 17, 1979.

Although he was stranded in Chicago by a snowstorm, he greeted the 350 luncheon attendees via telephone hooked up the resort’s public address system.  During a live broadcast of “Late Night with David Letterman,” the May 9, 1987, Scottsdale Progress reported, “Mayor Herb Drinkwater sat in his office with two reporters, assorted city staff members and a contingent of visitors… ‘Boy do I feel stupid,’ he whispered, his ear to the phone.

But he was cheerful and friendly as soon as his caller came on the line. ‘Hello Dave!’ he said to television host David Letterman.

‘Yes, it’s a beautiful day in Scottsdale. The sun is shining, and the sky is blue.” The conversation between Herb and Dave was part of the segment of the late-night program that referenced the show’s ‘home office.’”

The Progress said, “The home office supposedly was once in Tempe, but it was moved to Scottsdale last fall. ‘We’re still having

Phone booths were conveniently located throughout Scottsdale before mobile phones made them obsolete. This USWest booth was outside the former Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce building on Civic Center Mall. (Photo by Joan Fudala)

some trouble finding it,’ Drinkwater wrote in a November (1988) letter to Letterman.

‘Obviously it’s a very low-key operation, just the kind of clean, nonpolluting industry Scottsdale needs.’”  During the 1980s, professionals and business executives were never out of touch because they wore phone pagers on their belts or in their pockets or purses. By the late 1980s, businesses and private individuals began installing phones is their cars.  The Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce Convention & Tourism Division staff and hospitality industry members frequently conducted phone blitzes from its offices in the Little Red Schoolhouse in the 1970s and 1980s, calling travel agents and meeting planners throughout the United States to encourage booking events and stays in Scottsdale.  On August 1, 1990, what would become the World Wide Web was suggested by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Caliliau at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics at Switzerland.

By early 1993, there were 50 Web servers worldwide. Most early adapters accessed the internet/ World Wide Web via telephone modems. In 1995 the city of Scottsdale entered cyberspace as ci.scottsdale.az.us went online (now scottsdaleaz.gov)  Throughout the 1990s, the use

38 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

of cellular phones became widespread. The iPhone, introduced in 2007, and other smart phones led to phones becoming more than voice communication devices, and the “age of apps” began.  In September 1999, Scottsdale and the entire East Valley changed telephone area codes from 602 to 480, recognizing the burgeoning use of telecommunications by business and residents.  During the past 10 years, telephone and telecommunications technology seems to change by the hour. Now we see as well as hear our callers via Skype, FaceTime, Zoom and other internet or mobile technologies.

Telemedicine appointments with our health care providers and business or committee meetings via conference call have become essential during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One can only guess what phone features will be introduced or become popular next.  But do you remember: party lines and their nosy ‘eavesdroppers’ … keeping dimes in your pocket to make payphone calls … squeezing into phone booths (a fad in the 1940s and 1950s) … only calling grandma once or twice a year on holidays because long-distance calls were exorbitantly expensive, and the whole family getting on extension phones to participate in the special call … using a phonebook and the Yellow Pages to find a person or business … sending a fax over your phone line … making collect and person-to-person long-distance calls… when phones were only available in black bakelite…

To use another famous telecommunications quote, like E.T., be sure to “Phone home!” 

ADVICE fromWeiss MAY 2020 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers

ARIES 3/21-4/20 Last month’s April showers—storms, snow, tornados—will not bring May flowers. May highlights the reality of survival tactics that are in our face.

Reversed planets have us reevaluating.

Personal power days: May 17 and May 18 TAURUS 4/21-5/20 Like the tortoise and the hare, it will be a slow race, but your patience will pay off. Use the internet or local media to find various ways of earning money between May 10 and the end of the month. Food resources may be reduced or limited from May 13 onward.

Personal power days: May 19 to May 21 GEMINI 5/21-6/20 Rapid developments could take a bit longer to be clarified. The latter part of May brings a massive amount of confidence and motivation to use however you want. You’ll reorganize and reconnect, just like the nation. Circle the New Moon on May 22. It’ll bring more freedom and release.

Personal power days: May 22 to May 24 CANCER 6/21-7/22 You’ll feel pressured about your family’s needs and issues relating to food, with this horrific virus and undefendable worldwide crisis. The first half of May finds you homebound, while others with professional obligations will be stressed May 13 to May 31. This stress, however, can be released with physical/mental/ creative outlets on May 25 and May 26.

Be careful with money the second half of the month.

Personal power days: May 25 and May 26

LEO 7/23-8/21 May 1 to May 20 is the best time for all work/job activities, so try to make the best of this time. Demand will be greater for doctors, nurses and first responders, including those in the food industry.

The second half of May appears more favorable, despite obstacles. Differences in communication, transportation and local restrictions at the beginning of the month will come fully into play.

Personal power days: May 27 and May 28 VIRGO 8/22-9/23 Virgo personalities are the healers; those who often go into the medical profession. This is your time to be tested, as you’ll be needed and it won’t be easy.

No matter what the situation is early in the month, you will achieve your goals.

Those who lost their jobs will quickly find alternatives.

Personal power days: May 29 to May 31 LIBRA 9/24-10/23 During the first 10 days of the month you may have to forget work and focus on time at home. Those involved in real estate or construction are required to solve a number of financial/employment problems. Remember: A business lives and dies by its staff.

Personal power days: May 4 and May 5 SCORPIO 10/24-11/22 Your relationships will improve in the beginning of the month. It’s best to get any offers or agreements on paper before planets go retro and you’re forced to compromise. Circle May 13 and the days that follow. You’ll have financial complications around May 7, but by July, things will clear up.

Personal power days: May 6 and May 7

42 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2020

SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 Everyday work may not seem like a holiday for you this month. Reconsider financial decisions between May 13 and June 25. Financially, May is not a bad month. Underline May 22, as you’ll re c e i v e n e w s a b o u t e d u c a t i o n a n d sports.

Personal power days: May 8 and May 9 CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 One part of your life is ending, and another is beginning. With the money sign of Taurus still active, you’ll find money and resources. Clerical Capricorns will seek a job change. You are not a quitter, but you are a worrier. Avoid negative people. Circle May 23, as you’ll sense a new beginning.

Personal power days: May 10 and May 11 AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 You’re a born humanitarian, political enthusiast and probably a first responder.

The first half of May is quite stable, but the second half could be complicated and demanding. It isn’t too early to think ahead about a job change. Once the sun enters Gemini on May 21, you’ll find solutions to various situations.

Personal power days: May 12 and May 13 PISCES 2/19-3/20 Those under the Pisces sign are selfsacrificing and devoted to a cause. That’s why many are in the medical field. Your financial situation this month seems quiet.

Your creative side comes in handy as some homebound discord occurs. When in doubt, work a puzzle, watch the Food Network or design a mask.

Personal power days: May 14 and May 15 
