Get some ‘cool finds’ in the summer heat

W

hat constitutes a “cool find?”

For most consumers, it’s an escape, going beyond the humdrum purchases required for daily lives, such as groceries and necessities.

Shoppers look for that break from the mundane, browsing in off-the-beatenpath shops and specialty stores, looking for something they can enjoy to break up life’s monotony.

A “cool find” is something that intrigues them, engages them and entices them to snap up knickknacks, icons, trinkets and toys to take home. Furniture pieces and accessories engage house guests as simple conversation pieces.

Maybe a find like a pool table or gaming table will encourage social gatherings in a family or entertainment room. Perhaps the “cool find” even serves only a handful of the very talented musicians or vocalists who want to clean up musical tracks at a mastering studio.

We’ve highlighted all of these “Cool Finds” in our June issue.

In our cover story, you’ll read about an award-winning mastering studio in the Airpark, which boasts Justin Timberlake as one of its investors. You’ll learn about a consignment shop that sells everything from fire pits to console tables. You’ll discover a pool table builder who sells these and other game tables to add a new dimension to the home and hundreds of hours socializing in the family room.

Next month, in our July issue, we highlight professional education. The Airpark is home to institutions of higher learning targeting the working professional with continuing education and career training. If you have a news item or story idea about these ideas or other topics, please email me at editor@scottsdaleairpark.com.

We love our “Cool Finds” in the Airpark. We hope you do, too!

Partner in Law Firm Named Nation’s Top 1% by NADC

Survey: Most Residents Pleased with City

Ben Himmelstein, partner at The Frutkin Law Firm, was selected as a member of Nation’s Top 1% by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel (NADC), an organization that recognizes attorneys who elevate the standards of the legal practice.

Himmelstein, who was named partner earlier this year, represents a number of medium-sized businesses in Arizona. The former chairman of the board of the Arizona Small Business Association helps clients in business litigation and business transactions.

Info: www.frutkinlaw.com

Most voters in Scottsdale have a high opinion of the city and its future, according to a survey conducted in late April by the Summit Consulting Group to measure attitudes about economic growth, Scottsdale future and its leadership. More than 56% of voters say the city is moving in the right direction, while 22% report it is on the wrong track. Slightly half (50.5%) support a plan to create three voting districts for three council members and the other three elected at-large. In areas of economic development, over 56% of respondents think the downtown entertainment district should stay “as-is” and not be expanded at this time. When asked if there was “too much, not enough, or just about the right amount” of commercial development in Scottsdale, just over 60% said there is just the right amount in the city. Almost a full two-thirds of respondents say the amount of taxes levied on residents is “just about right.” More than 23% think they’re too …continues on page 12

Scottsdale Celebrates 65 Years of “Inc.-redible” Milestones

appy 65th birthday, Scottsdale!

Although founded in 1888, Scottsdale wasn’t incorporated as a municipality until June 25, 1951.

Over the past six and a half decades our city has evolved from a half-squaremile farm town of 2,032 residents to an urban oasis of nearly 230,000 living on 185 square miles. Much has changed, but our hallmarks of city-citizen/publicprivate partnerships and collaborating on innovative solutions to quality-of-life issues endure.

16 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

Let’s toast 65 of our magnificent municipal milestones: 1. Residents and the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce initiated the petition drive to incorporate. Based on the overwhelming number of signatures, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors declared Scottsdale incorporated.

2. Although he initially opposed incorporation, business owner and Scottsdale High grad Malcolm White was chosen as the city’s first mayor,

an office he held for eight years.

Scottsdale’s first public-private partnership was for fire protection service. Contracting with Scottsdalebased Rural Fire in 1951, this highly successful partnership continued until the city created its own fire department in 2005.

Residents formed the civic coordinating council in the early 1950s to provide recreation and social services until the city began assuming those roles in the early 1960s.

To control Scottsdale’s cachet and future land form, the town (which became a city in 1961) began annexing land in every direction. The last big annexation, in 1984, extended north to the Tonto National Forest.

Volunteers started and ran the public library in 1955. The city took over the library in 1960. By 2009, the highly rated Scottsdale Public Library System encompassed five libraries and 24/7 digital services.

The Scottsdale Baseball Club raised money to build a ballpark in 1955 to host Spring Training. The club transferred the ballpark to city ownership in the 1960s. Thanks to a long-term partnership between the city, the Scottsdale Charros and Major League Baseball, we’ve had Spring Training here for more than 60 years.

Developers, citizens and nonprofits have gifted land to Scottsdale for “the greater good.” That includes McCormick-Stillman Railroad, Rotary and Pinnacle Peak parks, and multiple parcels for the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, just to name a few.

City planners found a way to qualify for federal Community Development Block Grants to create the Vista del Camino neighborhood that relocated residents from homes affected by Indian Bend Wash flooding.

Human Services commissioners recommended to the city that it build the Vista del Camino neighborhood center, then partner with area nonprofits to provide social services, thus creating the brokerage concept.

In the 1960s, the city converted the former Chesnutt home into a senior center. Today the city operates two state-of-the-art senior centers and offers a wide range of services and programs. …continues on page 18

COOL FINDS Sound Investment AfterMaster kicks the listening experience up a notch

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

W

alking into AfterMaster Audio Labs’ Scottsdale Airpark office is like entering a music museum.

Oversized wooden doors lead the way into a conference room with walls covered with platinum records.

Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, John Lennon and Sting all have shown their appreciation for AfterMaster’s staff, which includes Gainey Ranch resident Larry Ryckman, his son, Aaron, renowned mixer Shelly Yakus and pop star Justin Timberlake.

As a team, the AfterMaster principals are out to make music sound better.

“That’s very important,” Larry says.

“Our technology people take it seriously because, candidly, we know what sounds good. That’s the bottom line. That’s critical.

A lot of audio companies are built by people who aren’t in the music industry.

“Music is the pinnacle of the peak.

More time, more money, more effort goes into audio because of this. Film and television are somewhere down the side of the mountain. A clock radio is down at the bottom.”

AfterMaster has three divisions. There’s the AfterMaster DSP chip, the world’s smallest digital signal chip. AfterMaster entered into a multi-year partnership with ON Semiconductor, a global designer and manufacturer of semiconductors, to develop and distribute DSP microchips loaded with AfterMaster technology.

The power of AfterMaster audio is now available on the low-power, micro formfactor BelaSigna 300 DSP AM DSP chip.

“We believe that will go into all kinds of consumer electronic devices from

24 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

cellphones to laptops to speakers—anything that has audio,” says Aaron, the company’s senior executive vice president.

The second division is ProMaster, an online music mastering service for independent artists. For a mere $35 per song, musicians can upload their music to AfterMaster’s professional team, who will process it and return it to the artist with a “finished, world class-sounding song.”

“There are hundreds of millions of indie artists,” Larry explains. “One of the challenges is artists don’t have the resources or the knowhow to master their music. That’s one of the most important parts of making music. It’s the last step.

“The song is written. The song is recorded. The song is mixed and then you go to a mastering person who will make it sound commercial and competitive. We think it’s really going to revolutionize the indie music world.”

Aaron agrees.

“We also have a live chat in which artists an ask questions like, ‘Is my mix right?’ ‘Should I turn the vocals down?’

These artists can get access to guys like Peter Doell or Ari Blitz, who have won Grammys or have multiple platinum records. They’re just happy to help people get their music right.”

AfterMaster Pro personal audio device rounds it out. It was developed to allow consumers convenient access to the company’s sound from all audio/ video sources. The AfterMaster Pro transforms television audio by raising and

clarifying dialogue levels, while making all surrounding audio sound better. It connects easily via HDMI to virtually any audio/video source (cable box, satellite box, video game station, etc.). It’s also equipped with an internal rechargeable battery and 3.5mm audio ports so it can be used on-the-go with a smartphone, tablet, computer, headphone or any other audioenabled device.

Longtime music lovers

Larry has been a music lover for most of his life, having played in bands in high school. While in his 20s, he became fascinated with audio technology and teamed up with Jimmy Iovine, a music executive who has in turn served as an “American Idol” mentor and founded Beats with Dr. Dre. Another cog in the wheel was Yakus, who engineered and mixed recordings for some of the world’s best-known artists including John Lennon, Stevie Nicks, Alice Cooper, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Seger, Amy Grant, Don Henley, U2 and Madonna.

“From that point on, we built a really successful audio company,” Larry says.

“We sold out of it five or six years later, but getting an opportunity to work with all of those kinds of people, it was incredible.

It was so much fun. I dabbled in a few things, but my heart is clearly in the audio

and music world.”

Larry says he has a dream team of partners and staff. Yakus has been a joy to work with, he says—and Yakus feels equally as satisfied knowing he brings top-notch work to the table. After all, he knows a thing or two about sound.

“The record companies hire me to work with some of their best artists,” Yakus says. “They believe I can get their artists out there to the listeners better than the next guy.

“There are other guys who do what I do and they have their clients. If there’s a list of five guys on the label that they’re thinking about hiring to mix an album and

and really believed in the product and wanted to take it to market.”

Also on staff is Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, an influential music producer who turned the knobs or wrote songs for Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Madonna, Brandy, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Keyshia Cole, Britney Spears, Cher, Janet Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Gwen Stefani, The Pussycat Dolls, ‘N Sync, Ludacris, Jamie Foxx, Black Eyed Peas, Ciara, The Spice Girls and Vanessa Williams.

“We’re very proud of the talent in our company,” Larry says. “It’s produced, engineered or mastered more hit music

they pick me off that list—if I’m fortunate enough to be chosen—it is because they believe I can get their artist access to lawyers.”

Renaissance man Timberlake, who was unavailable for an interview, has one of the most popular singles of the year with “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”

“He came on as partner and owner,” Aaron says. “He’s an ambassador at a higher level than a functional role. We have people who have a ton of experience

artists than anybody else in the technology world.”

Larry’s resume is nothing to sneeze at, either. He has mastered albums by the likes of Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Janet Jackson, Jordin Sparks and Lady Gaga.

As for mixing, he’s lent a hand to Michael Jackson, Madonna, Sting and Julian Lennon. He’s amazed by the amount of talent with whom he has worked.

“Some people are tuned into a whole other realm and they can pull songs out

of the air,” he says. “There’s something almost mystical about it, and then there are artists who work really, really hard trying to write.

“It’s almost like any other business. You get people who are almost savant-ish and it comes naturally to them, and others who work hard. For technology, we’re taking what we’ve learned and making digital audio sound better. We think we’re going to change the world of audio. Period.”

The Ryckmans have called Arizona their home for nearly 20 years, after moving here from the Toronto area.

Aaron is based at the Airpark office, while Larry commutes between his Malibu and Scottsdale homes.

AfterMaster Recording and Mastering Studios is based in Hollywood; it is in the former production offices of Alfred Hitchcock.

“Our studios are home to where some of the world’s best popular music is engineered, mixed and mastered for both top artists and independent musicians.

But we’ve been in the Airpark for years.

This is our home.”

And it will stay the Ryckmans’ home.

“In Scottsdale, the tech scene is getting exciting,” Aaron says. “I love our team and how genuine everybody is. Peter and Shelly and I talk every day. We talk about audio and how to make ProMaster better.

It’s such an amazing opportunity to work with guys like that so closely.

“We have a lot of loyalty to Arizona. We started here.”  For more information, visit www.aftermaster.com June 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News | 25

COOL FINDS

Craig Connelly, owner of Craig Billiards, sells American-made pool tables, along with shuffleboard tables, game tables and game-room furniture.

Recreational relaxation Craig Billiards specializes in pool tables and furnishings to create game rooms for gatherings Story and Photos by Ken Abramczyk

C

raig Connelly calls himself the “billiards elder” of Arizona—and for good reason.

During his 40-year career, Connelly has sold and installed more than 50,000 pool tables, mostly through his company, Connelly Billiards, which he owned and operated from 1980 to 2009.

Five months ago, he opened Craig Billiards in the Scottsdale Airpark to market and sell equipment for a sport that was played by 34.5 million U.S. participants in 2013, according to www.statista.com.

“What’s cool about (pool) is it’s a great family or social activity,” Connelly says. “You can have friends over and, instead of watching TV, you can shoot pool and interact, and it requires hand-to-eye coordination.”

Back in business Connelly kick-started his new business after experiencing the highs and lows of manufacturing, selling and distributing billiards.

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

He began his career manufacturing pool tables while he attended ASU in the late 1970s, applying his woodworking skills plus metalworking he learned in high school. He was hired to help a pool table maker at his one-man shop at 48th Street and University Drive in Tempe.

The tables were built during the week.

On Fridays, Connelly delivered them to customers. In 1980 he decided to forgo two corporate job offers upon his ASU graduation to start Connelly Billiards in Tucson.

The business eventually grew to more than 150 dealerships across North America and abroad. In 2008, Connelly started a factory in Nicaragua. As chairman of the Billiard Congress of America’s specifications committee, Connelly wrote a majority of the table specifications for the industry in the 1990s, he says.

Like other industries, pool table sales tanked with the recession. The American and international markets were further decimated

by the less expensive Asian pool tables hitting the American market that Connelly calls inferior. “You don’t know if the wood was dried or what chemicals were used to dry the product,” Connelly says.

In 2009, Connelly sold Connelly Billiards’ Tucson operations and the company name to a conglomerate in Texas. That company moved the Tucson operations to Texas.

Connelly tried to continue to manufacture tables in Nicaragua, but he lacked capital to expand it globally. That forced him to close the factory in 2014.

Tabletop fun Connelly sells American-made pool tables, but he also stocks shuffleboard, air hockey and foosball tables, including outdoor tables, and game tables for card players.

He even sells a pool table that converts to a dinner table by adding a tabletop.

For those who want additional seating and bar ambience, he sells game room furni-

ture, including bars, bar stools, pub tables and spectator chairs, including one with a compartment in an arm to store cigars, and an ashtray.

Craig’s main line is pool tables, manufactured in Portland, Oregon, by Golden West Billiard Manufacturing. It features a designer series with styles varying from contemporary with its Reverse Rainbow incorporating LED lighting in its arch and base, to the Heartland series with its craftsman style to match traditional woods in the home.

Even with all of his varied inventory in other games and furnishings, most customers look at the pool tables. Connelly says consumers should look at American-

built tables with thick beams and thick corner blocks, “You are only going to buy one or two, so why not buy a table that is solid and well-built?” Connelly says. “They should look for solid wood and confirm that it is, and look for an American manufacturer.”

As for the other game tables, shuffleboard is a hot item, as the board fits well in a tight space. “It takes up an area about three feet from the wall,” Connelly says.

Now that the economy has rebounded, Connelly set up shop and hopes to begin manufacturing pool tables in an approximate 4,000-square-foot area behind his 2,500-square-foot showroom.

He remembers starting out in 1980, driv-

ing up and down the West Coast, learning as much as he could about manufacturing pool tables. “I just looked at the competition and thought, now how do we do it better?”

That attention to detail and researching the competition began at a young age.

“When I was 5, I started selling Kool-Aid. A kid down the street had a stand, so I bought some of his Kool-Aid. It was warm.

“I knew then I had to have a bigger sign and some ice cubes.”  Craig Billiards 15816 N. Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite 400 Scottsdale 85260 (480) 907-7600 www.craigbilliards.com

Fly Like an Eagle New airport artwork dubbed ‘airplane on a stick’

by Lee Allen

F

or more than 25 years, the bronze sculpture, “One with the Eagle,” has stood alone in its 24-foottall splendor as a welcoming beacon, a gateway to the Scottsdale Airport.

Soon the unique Pat Mathiesen creation will have some company, as the sculptor is planning a Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial as part of a new Scottsdale Airport terminal, business center and restaurant.

Honoring Scottsdale Airport’s beginnings as a basic training facility for Army Air Corps’ pilots during World War II, the new sculpture will consist of a former training aircraft.

“There’s a connection here between my creation and the planned memorial,” says the Valley-based Mathiesen.

“People do their own interpretations of what my ‘One with the Eagle’ piece says. To me it represents man’s longing for the spiritual aspect of reaching for the sky...a fascination with flight.” And that fascination is further embodied in the history of Thunderbird Field and the airplanes that flew there.

“The idea for this memorial began in response to public complaints about noise at the airport,” says Scottsdale Airport Advisory Commissioner and past board chairman Steve Ziomek. He is also a former U.S. Coast Guard rescue pilot and command pilot with the Civil Air Patrol.

“The board wondered if those people were aware of the history and significance of this airport site that was here well before the current facility arrived. We felt, perhaps, if the local public realized the history and importance of what had come before, they might be less inclined to be concerned about current noise issues.”

Not only was Thunderbird Field II (built in 1942) here first, it was partially built with support of the public, with Hollywood money contributed by actors

A Boeing-Stearman PT-17 Kaydet trainer, shown in an artist’s rendering, will be displayed at the new terminal and business center at Scottsdale Airport. like Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.

This time around, the memorial will rise from public contributions to a 401(c)(3) nonprofit campaign.

What came before

Thunderbird II was one of three Southwest Airways training schools in the Valley and welcomed its first class of cadets even before the field was ready for occupancy. As war clouds thickened over Europe, the quota of new pilots constantly increased, and by November 1943, more than 600 cadets were flying daily. Once operational, Thunderbird II underwent a transformation that took it from a nondescript chunk of isolated desert terrain to a primary training school with a payroll of over 500 employees.

As the war approached an end, so, too, did the training, and the site was deactivated in 1944 after two years and four months, time enough to graduate 5,500 students who flew in excess of 26 million miles.

With that mission accomplished, Arizona State Teachers College (now ASU) acquired the airport with an eye toward building its own aviation program.

Then, when that plan was abandoned,

the Arizona Conference of Seventh-day Adventists purchased the property and turned it into Thunderbird Academy, converting former barracks into dormitories and hangars into classrooms.

In 1966, the City of Scottsdale acquired the airfield portion of the site and has owned and operated it since then with the first business jets landing in 1967, followed by the first airpark tenant in 1968. Today, as Arizona’s second-largest employment center approaching 3,000 businesses on-site with a combined employment in excess of 50,000, it is truly “Where Business Takes Flight.”

Where it landed

“Once the decision was made to develop a monument to memorialize Arizona’s contribution to the war, the veterans involved, and the field itself, the memorial concept began to take shape,” Ziomek says.

Initially they were hoping to place it adjacent to the eagle statue, but there were too many restrictions because it would have been so close to the end of the runway. Plan A turned into Plan B when City of Scottsdale Aviation Director Gary Mascaro suggested it be the centerpiece

Historic flyers

to the new facilities—Thunderbird Field Plaza—which would help the city comply with its requirement for public art at the site.

Ziomek says the focus will be a park-like atmosphere with the spotlight on “an airplane on a stick”—a BoeingStearman PT-17 Kaydet trainer put on a pedestal and surrounded by a manicured open-space plaza with benches. Plaques will explain the history of the field and the involvement of all branches of service members.

“People will be able to visit an attractively designed space while learning about the history of aviation in Arizona and at Scottsdale Airport,” Ziomek adds. “The memorial will be dedicated to our nation’s history and will recognize the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of all branches of the armed forces.

“Originally, we thought we’d be able to commemorate all the fallen Arizona military by name, but those numbers are now up to around 5,000 and continue to change, so that part of the project has been placed on the back burner for now— not out of consideration, just not actively being considered at the moment. Based on the amount of money we raise, we’ll do as much as we can do.”

Many World War II pilots learned how to fly in this Boeing-Stearman aircraft.

With a length of 24 feet and a wing span of 32 feet, the 2-ton aircraft could climb to 11,000 feet with a range of 500 miles at a top speed of 124 mph.

Despite a nearly obsolete design, it’s 220-horsepower 5-piston radial engine simplicity and rugged construction (fabric-covered wooden wings, single-leg landing gear, and an over-built weldedsteel fuselage) made it ideal as a training vehicle for novice pilots. After the war ended, the plane’s slow, low-level flying capabilities still made them quite suitable for spraying and crop-dusting as well as aerial acrobatics.

The art piece also will feature plaques highlighting the airport’s history.

According to a Warplane Heritage Museum explanation: “The importance of the Stearman to the U.S. war effort cannot be overemphasized as half of all American military pilots who fought in WWII received their initial flight training in this sturdy aircraft. No other biplane was ever produced in such numbers.

More than 8,000 of the aircraft were built before production ended in 1944 and more than 1,000 remain in flying condition today.”

“The City of Scottsdale has a storage facility that contains a lot of artifacts from the original Thunderbird Field, things like photos and old pilot helmets, and we’re hopeful we’ll get some wall space and stand space inside the new terminal for additional displays,” says Ziomek.

The nonprofit group is looking to raise a quarter of a million dollars to offset the $100,000 purchase price of a remodeled/reconditioned flyable PT-17 now in California and for on-going maintenance costs.

“We’re already halfway there in commitments and, if enough funds come in soon, we could bring the flyable unit here as early as this summer and fly it to help raise additional funding for construction and maintenance.”

On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, project coordinators will hold a fundraising soiree at the airport in one of the hangars, to be decorated in World War II style. Attendees will be asked to forgo the traditional tux and tails and show up in WWII attire to listen to big bands and view period aircraft like B-17s and B-24s.

Ready for a Staycation?

Four Seasons offers affordable luxury for summer

By Marjorie Rice

S

ummer is here and the exodus to cooler climes is in full force.

But for many Valley residents, our scorching days signal the start of some really cool deals right here at home.

Posh Valley resorts that in winter months cater to the tastes—and wallets—of the wealthy slash prices to entice summertime hometown visitors.

Instead of $500 and up for a night, rates plummet to under $200, and there often are deals on spa services and other amenities.

“It’s a great way to get away for a

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

staycation,” says Kim Cole, director of public relations for the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North. And it’s a boon for Airpark companies that can schedule business meetings and teambuilding events while taking advantage of bargain room rates.

The Four Seasons is a tranquil hideaway where guests loll in the lap of luxury—comfy casitas, lush landscaping, eye-popping views and swimming pools ringed with shady cabanas—a laid-back vibe in a gorgeous high desert setting.

Tucked into a hillside overlooking Pinnacle Peak and broad vistas of the Valley floor nearly 1,000 feet below, the resort nestles unobtrusively into the landscape, a tranquil site with birdsong and beautiful plantings dotted with artwork, dry creek beds, firepits and chimineas.

“Some of the landscaping dates back to the 1940s, when the property was a finishing school for girls,” Cole says. “There so much wildlife, including birds, coyotes, rabbits and a bobcat that comes down from the butte.”

And there are plenty of quiet nooks where you can get away for a spot of quiet reading or conversation.

The adobe architecture, the artwork, the cuisine, the cactus, the indoor/ outdoor living combine for a quintessentially Arizona experience.

You could spend hours just wandering through the grounds enjoying the

plants and artwork. Or if you’re up for something more challenging, there are complimentary guided hikes to Pinnacle Peak, which is right in the Four Seasons’ back yard, and spinning, yoga and fitness classes in the resort’s full-service, 24-hour fitness center.

“Business visitors have their own amenities, including extensive meeting space, most of it contained on a separate level so there’s plenty of privacy,” Cole says. With about 36,000 square feet, there’s a place for everything from small business breakfast meetings to meetings for 500, including outdoor dining in a secluded lawn area.

After a strenuous day of business, golf (a complimentary shuttle takes you to Troon North Golf Club), hiking or swimming, there are plenty of places to while away a summer afternoon and recharge.

The main lobby, with its comfy couches and colorful pillows, is a lovely spot to linger, people-watch and sip a cool drink, and then wander out to the terrace to enjoy the spectacular view.

Or meander through the public spaces and enjoy a remarkable collection of paintings, fiber works and sculpture. If a particular work of art appeals to you, ask if it’s available for sale. Much of the artwork comes from local galleries, Cole says, and can be purchased.

Your toughest job of the day may be deciding which restaurant you’ll pick that night. There are several to choose from, starting with sunset sipping at the Onyx Bar & Lounge, then steaks with an Arizona accent at Talavera’s. Or check out the complimentary beer and wine tastings and margarita-making demonstrations.

The next morning, there’s breakfast

at Proof, washed down with something from the Bloody Mary bar.

“Our family visitors really enjoy the old-fashioned soda fountain at Proof,” Cole says. Every afternoon, they can dig into sundaes and floats, and because there’s a full bar, grownups can enjoy more spirited refreshments.

Speaking of families, the resort’s free year-round Kids for All Seasons program offers a variety of activities for youngsters. Kids can play pool and ping-pong, build Lego and play board games. There also are movies and crafts, and for kids who can’t let go of their electronics, rooms for Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Activities include back-of-the-house tours to give kids an inside look at how a resort operates; an interactive display of “desert dwellers” including snakes, tortoises and Gila monsters; scavenger hunts; lessons in tracking animals; competitions in the pool; and Weird Science experiences, to name just a few.

Speaking of pools, no Valley resort

worth its salt settles for just one, and the Four Seasons is no exception.

“One of our pools is set aside for very young children, which allows them to enjoy quiet and safe play. Parents really appreciate it,” Cole says. “The children’s pool is one of three on the property. One large pool is set aside for families, and a more secluded pool is for adults who may want a quieter experience.

“We want to make people feel really welcome, so throughout the day, guests enjoy complimentary smoothie samples and other treats brought right to their lounge chairs by our servers,” Cole adds.

And when they need something more substantial, there’s dining and drinks at the Saguaro Blossom bar and grill poolside.

The activities continue with free “DiveIn” movies at the big pool on summer Saturday nights, and complimentary stargazing led by a professional astronomer on Thursday nights.

On a quieter note, guests can indulge themselves at low summer

rates with the Summer Spa Happy Hour, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. It includes two 25-minute mini treatments for $139 or three mini treatments for $179.

As Cole says, there’s a lot to do, or you can do nothing more than relax— all at a bargain price. A great way to get away. 

25 Years of Home Craftsmanship La Casa Builders celebrates a quarter century

L

a Casa Builders Inc. has opened many doors in the last 25 years.

Celebrating a quarter century of superlative new-home building and rebuilds, the Scottsdale company has demonstrated its expertise in a variety of styles: Mediterranean, ranch, contemporary, traditional, Southwest regional, craftsman and fusion.

Complementing this, a customerservice tradition of quality, integrity and honesty has led its superbly satisfied clients to recommend La Casa Builders to friends, business associates and family members.

“By working closely with our clients throughout the design and building process, beauty, detail and quality are visible everywhere you look, in every home we build or rebuild,” says owner Tim Larson, who is assisted by a team of a dozen design specialists, superintendents and administrative staff. “For 25 years, it’s been a great adventure meeting and

getting to know new clients and making their dreams come true.”

Expert at hillside construction and golf course lots, La Casa has built retirement, getaway and family homes in masterplanned developments such as Silverleaf, DC Ranch and Desert Highlands in North Scottsdale and on premium sites in Phoenix, Paradise Valley and Carefree. Many of these award-winning homes have been featured in lifestyle, architectural and building magazines and books locally and nationally.

In 1991, Larson and co-founder Ron Steege, now retired, founded the custom homebuilding company in their homes, first offering remodeling. A skilled finish carpenter with years of construction experience, Larson joined Steege, a fellow Midwesterner, a first-rate designer and details man. Together, they synthesized their skills into the expertise that is today’s La Casa Builders.

The joys of a quarter century of success?

“Having a great relationship with Ron for 25 years and going through the adventure with him; growing the business together from working out of our homes to moving into commercial space; starting with one employee and building it up to 18 employees at one time; and watching the business grow in the good times and learning to scale it down in the bad times,” Larson says.

For La Casa Builders, client services have always begun at the site chosen by the client. Or, the company has assisted in locating one offering the optimum orientation for energy-efficiency and views.

“We can also work with you to find a qualified architect, interior designer, audio/video consultant and highly skilled artists and craftsman,” Larson says.

From the start, La Casa Builders was a Valley pioneer in green construction and continues to incorporate advancements in sustainable technology, science and products, including recycled materials,

as requested by clients. Since 2004, La Casa Builders has been building energyefficient homes under the Scottsdale Green Building Program, which instituted the stringent home-rating system in 1998.

This local specification system is similar to the national LEED (Leadership

La Casa Builders on numerous projects during the last two decades.

“I find their skill, knowledge and professionalism to be superior. Tim Larson and the entire team are respectful of their clients’ budgets and timelines.

Sunset Spas meets customers’ needs, from education to service

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

D

ave Rempfer is hoping that consumers find it easy to purchase hot tubs through his long-established Sunset Spas, which has locations in Scottsdale, Chandler and Glendale.

“I like it when reviewers say it was a fun and easy purchase or that we exceeded their expectations,” Rempfer said.

“There’s no sales pressure. We educate the customer. We facilitate the whole thing from delivery to setup to orientation. We want to hear that it’s the best thing they’ve ever purchased and how they changed their lives, they feel better or sleep better.

It’s better than selling a car that they have to have.”

Rempfer has been interested in spas for most of his adult life. While in college in California, he had a part-time job delivering hot tubs. Upon graduation, he moved to Sacramento and opened his own spa business. When his competitor bought out the company, Rempfer moved

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

to Arizona about a decade ago to be closer to the headquarters of MAAX Spas.

“We’re now their No. 1 dealer in the country,” said Rempfer, who opened Sunset Spas in 2006. “It was a good move.”

He said he prefers MAAX Spas because of the quality.

“Basically, the internal framing is made of steel instead of wood,” Rempfer said.

“They’re built much stronger than other brands. They’re the only true appliancegrade hot tub that’s made in the industry.

“They build a very, very high-end hot tub. They’re just a really strong company.

They have a good business ethic.”

Sunset Spas offers a well-rounded experience. The store not only sells spas, but it repairs them as well.

“Most companies have third parties do warranty and service work,” Rempfer said. “We do everything in house. It’s our mission to make sure that we find the right spa for people.”

MAAX, he said, manufactures five lines of hot tubs, offering something for every purchaser.

“Everybody has a different idea of why they’re buying a spa,” he said. “Everybody wants therapy. All of them are therapeutic, but some are going to be more therapeutic.

Some come with stereo systems. Some have Wi-Fi capability. Some don’t need it. Some absolutely do. It’s our job as a retailer to figure out what spa is going to

benefit their needs best.

“There are a lot of choices out there.

There’s no reason to spend $15,000 on a hot tub, when you can buy the same hot tub or better from us for half the price.”

As Rempfer said, a hot tub isn’t something that most people need. Instead it’s something they desire.

“So it makes you feel good when they compliment you on how much they love their hot tub.” 

Bite Nite raises money for Lou Gehrig’s disease research

T

he Westin Kierland Resort and Spa will welcome hundreds of people to enjoy food from the hottest chefs and eateries around the Valley as they raise money for the ALS Association Arizona Chapter on Saturday, June 11.

Bite Nite is celebrating its seventh year in 2016, as it continues to raise awareness and funding for the fight against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“The ALS Association is the only national nonprofit solely devoted to raising awareness and funds for ALS,” said Taryn Norley, executive director of The ALS Association Arizona Chapter. “Bite Nite is a great way to enjoy amazing food, live entertainment and support a worthwhile cause.”

Patrons will stroll through the event and sample signature dishes from some of the most popular restaurants in the Valley.

The main event will be the Best Bite of the Night contest, where guests will vote for their favorite signature dishes via text. North Italia and The Capital Grille in Phoenix are defending Best Bite champions that will be flexing their culinary chops once again. They will compete for the 2016 Best Bite alongside a variety of restaurants and chefs eager to snag this title for their own.

Ling and Louie’s, an Asian fusion restaurant, has been participating with Bite Nite since the start.

“Over the last few years it has really been an amazing experience,” said John Banquil, the regional general manager of Ling and Louie’s. “It has been one of the greatest things the restaurant has done.”

Throughout the night people can partake in live and silent auctions and purchase $50 mystery boxes. Along with the delicious food from more than 15 chefs and restaurants, there will be live music to entertain guests.

“Over the past seven years, Bite Nite has grown into the special event of the summer,” Norley said.

According to The ALS Association website, ALS affects two in 100,000 people. Nearly 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year.

ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that

attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. The disease leads to paralysis and life expectancy from the time of diagnosis is 2 to 5 years.

The ALS Association’s goal is to raise funds not only for those living with ALS but also for the families supporting them. The estimated yearly cost for someone living with ALS is $200,000.

“Every year the Arizona chapter serves more than 400 patients,” Norley said. “Our main goal is to help families and patients manage this disease with dignity and hope.”

Funds raised from Bite Nite will go toward patient and family services, community outreach, the medical equipment loan closet, and to help support the newly established children’s program for children who will lose a loved one to this disease.

There is no known cause or effective treatment for ALS. This disease can affect anyone regardless of age, race, or gender, according to the ALS Association.

Last year Bite Nite raised $202,000 and has raised over $750,000 between 2010 and 2015. There were more than 700 guests at the 2015 Bite Nite.

Before the event concludes, patients and family members of those living with ALS will speak about the impact that The ALS Association Arizona Chapter has had on their lives, sharing their stories and explaining how the funds raised will be spent. These families have directly benefited from the funds raised by The ALS Association events such as Bite Nite.

Tickets for Bite Nite are $150 and can be purchased online at www.bitenite.org. 

financialfundamentals

Getting a second opinion on your pending retirement

By Thomas K. Brueckner, CLTC

D

o you have a sinking feeling about the world economy, markets or the upcoming election?

Are you uncomfortable with risk exposure as retirement looms over the next hill? Have you stopped to ask yourself if you are getting the right advice for this new stage of life? How do you know when it is time to get a second opinion on your finances?

As you approach retirement, you have a different set of concerns and challenges. The money it has taken you 40 years to save must now last you the next 25 years or more. In an article in Smart Money magazine, author Glenn Ruffenach made the point that the adviser who got you to retirement, is very often not the specialist you’ll need to get you through retirement.

If you are experiencing any of these six financial situations, you should consider getting a financial second opinion: • Your financial adviser downplays your concerns. One of the most frequent concerns that we hear when we meet a potential new client is that their financial adviser simply ignores their concerns. In a study of financial advisers and their clients conducted by Russ Alan Prince and David Geracioti, the researchers found that advisers have a history of being significantly disconnected from their clients’ actual needs. When asked what their top concern was, more than 88% of clients answered “losing our wealth.” In stark contrast, when their advisers were asked the same question, only 15.4% said “losing their wealth” was the top concern of their clients. If your adviser isn’t listening to you, or he or she is providing advice more to their benefit than yours, you may want to consider a second opinion.

• Your life situation has changed. A loss of a spouse, a divorce in the family, an infirm parent moving in with you, or a major medical issue are all life-altering

48 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

situations that require a re-evaluation of your finances. In situations of great change, you may want to solicit different ideas for addressing your financial situation from an adviser with a different skill set.

• You are preparing for a major expense.

A child’s wedding, the purchase of a second home, or a desire for extensive travel—these are all joyous events that also require planning. To make sure these dreams are feasible, and that their impact on your investment accounts is survivable, it may be wise to get a second financial opinion.

• You are within three years of retirement. The path that you took to get to retirement is not the same one you should take to get you through retirement. Not only do your needs change, but your risk tolerance also changes.

This is particularly important if your current adviser is recommending that you stay heavily invested in a volatile stock market. That advice may work for a younger investor who has more working years ahead and the time to weather another financial storm. You owe it to yourself to make sure you’re

on an age-appropriate path for financial freedom.

• You believe your portfolio contains too much risk. The average bear market decline of the last 100 years is -34%. Losses incurred in 2000-2 (-51%) and 2007-9 (-57%) have only recently recovered their value, and many who have just retired or are about to retire, can’t afford another such loss on their accounts. What if you could protect your entire principal, still have the opportunity to earn reasonable returns, and eliminate all market downside? A specialist in such solutions has the expertise to help you reposition your assets for a risk-free financial future.

• You are planning a legacy for your heirs. Many retirees want to enjoy their retirement, but also want to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren and that provides resources now and in the future. Legacy planning requires mitigating tax consequences and avoiding numerous financial traps. Without the guidance of a specialist, your good intentions could do as much harm as good, and even cause an undue burden on your beneficiaries.

Your financial adviser works for you, not the other way around. It’s up to you to advocate for yourself and take the necessary steps to make sure your best interests are protected. Getting a second opinion can confirm a good plan or protect you from a bad one. After working so hard to save for this next stage of life, you owe it to yourself to make sure you achieve the retirement you deserve. T o a Br e ner C TC i re i ent CEO o trategi A et Con ervation in ott ale a on ervative ealt anage ent ir it lient in tate an i o ntrie ei a A vi er o t e ear national inali t a ra io tal o o t an an Ari ona re ier inan ial a vi er e a e rea e or o ent at go nig t o

wner Tony Alfonso laughs when he tells the story about how Boss Pizza Bar was named.

He arrived home one day after work and discussed with his wife something that wasn’t related to the restaurant. She didn’t appreciate his tone and, knowing he was considering different names for his new restaurant, politely jabbed him with a subtle dig that only couples can appreciate. “She asked, ‘Why don’t you call it Boss Pizza, because you are bossing people around all the time?’” says Alfonso, remembering the story with a smile.

And so, Boss Pizza Bar was born.

Alfonso’s journey to Scottsdale follows the transcript of the journey of many new residents. He visited Arizona two years ago on a family vacation, liked the area and knew he wanted to live here. He returned last year, saw a “for lease” sign on a former real estate building and contacted its owner.

Alfonso arranged to lease the building, then remodeled the office and classroom space of the real estate office into “pods” and moved his family to Scottsdale from Illinois. Alfonso opened Boss Pizza Bar in early April.

Before Alfonso opened his first restaurant in Illinois, he wanted to learn how to create great pizza, so he traveled to Italy to learn from the masters.

“I went to pizza school for a month,” Alfonso said. “The most important thing I learned was that it was all about the quality of the ingredients.”

Alfonso says the dough at Boss Pizza Bar is made fresh every day. Alfonso buys locally grown produce when he can, but he insists that the cheese comes from Wisconsin, even if it costs more, to use better quality ingredients on his

Alfonso isn’t afraid to stretch the boundaries of pizza. His Baker’s pizza has mashed potato, bacon, mozzarella, chive and sour cream.

suspects: pepperoni, Italian sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, onion, black olives and many other toppings.

Alfonso learned at his first restaurant the difficulty in managing costs with a high number of menu choices, so he has what he calls a more manageable menu. Boss Pizza Bar also serves customers choices of six salads, sandwiches and appetizers. One of the appetizers puts a spin on a ravioli with an Italian egg roll featuring Italian sausage, mozzarella and marinara wrapped in a wonton.

“We’ll grow the menu, but it’s more important to execute first, then add to the menu later,” Alfonso said.

Boss Pizza Bar seats 150 inside and 150 on the patio. A second bar

can be opened to serve customers on busy evenings and private parties.

Half of the interior can be reserved for parties, along with the outside patio.

Alfonso is already involved in the community, as his restaurant has hosted fundraising events for local churches and organizations.

Boss Pizza Bar will be the site of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Meet Your Neighbors lunch at 11:30 a.m. Friday, June 24. 

pizzas and other dishes. “Many of the big pizza chains don’t do that,” Alfonso says. “They are all about making money, but I’d rather make less money and make people happy.”

Once his dough is created and topped, the pizza is placed into a stone oven at 650 degrees. “The pizza will get a little char along the lines of a Neapolitan pizza,” Alfonso explains. The pizza crust is tender and almost delicate; its flavor is subtle, fresh and not too salty.

There are no deep-dish pizzas here, either. Alfonso first served the thin crust pizza to be “different” from the other pizzerias in the Chicago area. “I felt that pizza was being diluted,” Alfonso says of pizzas there moving away from the Neapolitan style. “I wanted to go the other way.”

Alfonso is bold, almost brash, in some of his choices of toppings. His Baker’s pizza has mashed potato, bacon, mozzarella, chive and sour cream. His Memphis dish dabbles in a little Southern barbecue with pulled pork with a dry rub and barbecue sauce and mozzarella. The Mexican pie spices up the menu with chorizo, carne asada, salsa verde, jalapeños and cilantro.

Of course, the purists and traditionalists will find that they can customize their pizzas with the usual

Ahipoki Bowl brings taste of Hawaii to Scottsdale

By Kenneth LaFave

“We’ve been very busy since the day we opened,” says Jantzen, who also owns Phoenix Marketing Associates, a top marketing and public relations firm.

“The soft opening was April 1, but we promoted a grand opening three weeks later and for that, there was a line out the door for 10 and a half hours,” Jantzen says.

Who’s showing up?

“We get new faces every day, people who work and live in the area. At the same time, we’ve already got regulars who come in three to five times a week.”

The appeal is simple: healthy food served quickly. And it doesn’t hurt that the menu offers choices that mean you can order something different each time you visit.

The bowls are priced at two scoops for $8.95 and three for $10.75. The scoops refer to the fish selections. Raw options are tuna, spicy tuna, albacore, salmon and yellowtail; cooked options are shrimp, scallops and octopus. You can choose to have your selections served over white or brown rice or an organic green salad, or a combo.

There are four sauces: house, spicy house, spicy creamy, and sweet citrus. Based on a recent visit, I recommend the house (or one of its spicy variations) for rice-based bowls, while the sweet citrus works especially well over the organic greens.

Then there are the toppings: ginger and wasabi for sushi traditionalists; jicama and crispy onion for a little crunch, as well as cucumber, masago, green onion, sesame seed and roasted seaweed, plus chili flakes for heat lovers.

Jantzen and Zimmerman saw the popularity of “poke” in Ahipoki Bowl features a variety of dishes, California and decided to make including one with salmon and tuna, sprouts, their move, though neither has sesame, cucumber and seaweed. t came from Hawaii, washing up on the shores of California. And now, it’s in Arizona.

It’s “poke” (pronounced like the first two syllables of “Pokemon”), which literally means “sectioned” or “cut-up” in Japanese, the culture that sparked the creation of this tantalizing mix of sushigrade fish with rice and/or salad and an array of sauces and toppings.

Ahipoki Bowl, 2805 N. Scottsdale Rd., is the first “poke” restaurant in the state.

Headquartered in southern California, the corporate entity partnered with local businessmen Michael Zimmerman and Jason Jantzen to bring this latest fast-food phenom to Arizona.

Based on market research, Zimmerman and Jantzen plan to open six or seven Ahipoki Bowl restaurants throughout the Valley, plus more in other Arizona locations.

Jantzen’s marketing firm did help launch the Scottsdale Ahipoki Bowl successfully, and Zimmerman’s other business, Republic West Home, is a construction company one of whose specialties happens to be restaurant build-outs. “‘Poke’ is all over Hawaii, and the craze caught on strong on southern California about two years ago. Right now in California, there are five or six ‘poke’ brands with two or three locations each.

Will Arizona catch the craze?

cottsdale’s new live/work community has taken great strides to save native trees on its construction site.

Working closely within the city of Scottsdale guidelines, the company hired Native Resources International to create a landscape salvage plan, allowing indigenous vegetation to be saved and replanted.

“We wanted an environmentally sensitive approach to saving as many native trees as possible,” says Irene Catsibris Clary, developer of the community.

The salvage plan is only part of the environmental considerations at SOHO Scottsdale, which will receive Green Building Certification upon completion, using building standards that are energy efficient and sustainable.

“We are proud that SOHO will receive ‘green certification’ from the City of Scottsdale,” she adds.

Twenty trees were saved, among them are native Palo Verde and Ironwood trees. Ironwood is a “habitat-modifying keystone species” whose importance to an ecosystem’s structure, composition and function is disproportionately large relative to their abundance. While Ironwood is not endangered or threatened, its populations dwindle annually.

Palo Verdes serve as “nurse plants” for saguaro cacti by providing a canopy— in effect, a microhabitat—which offers warmth in winter and shade in summer.

“It is easy to see why saving these tress has been such a priority,” Clary says.

She says she believes the beauty of the Sonoran Desert should be enjoyed, and it is “why I chose this location to build such an environmentally friendly community, like SOHO Scottsdale, where residents will soon live, work and play.”

Clary explains that when the on-site nursery was created, she was pleased to know that none of the trees was endangered.

The trees are in their side boxes in the on-site nursery, where the plats will “rest” for the next three to four weeks.

They will be maintained and watered until they can be relocated to their new locations around SOHO Scottsdale, where residents will enjoy them for many years to come.” 

Companies, participants face challenges with health insurance

S

y Paul reslau, reslau nsurance

tatewide and national acquisitions, withdrawals, rate increases and other corporate changes impact every employer and individual in Arizona. David Bowie’s line in “Changes,” you’ve left us up to our necks in it,” may best describe the Arizona health insurance and benefits marketplace challenges in the months and years ahead.

Health insurance companies

To start, the Arizona Department of Insurance ordered Meritus Health to discontinue operations at the end of December. This forced 60,000 insured Arizonans, many of whom were employed at local businesses, to find new health insurance by January 1, 2016. The short notice strained all.

Next up, Health Net was purchased by Centene and implementation is underway.

Based on recent renewals the operations of Health Net in Arizona have not been impacted thus far. Centene is California Medicaid with no Arizona presence. While the rate increases are noticeable, Health Net remains a viable solution for the time being.

At this point, the purchase of CIGNA by Anthem awaits final regulatory approval.

The Arizona impact should not be great because Anthem is not present in Arizona.

The Aetna purchase of Humana also awaits approval and this will have larger impact due to their joint Arizona market share.

BlueCross of Arizona and UnitedHealthcare, while not merging, are withdrawing from some or all of the Arizona individual and family health insurance marketplace. The prediction is these changes will result in fewer options and higher rates for every person and business.

Hospitals, Doctors, Prescriptions

Consolidation is happening, take Scottsdale Health and John C Lincoln into HonorHealth as an example. Doctors are combining practices, retiring or selling out to hospitals. The formulary listings

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2016

enefits nc.

for prescriptions are being tightened.

Laboratory Services disruptor Theranos was strong in Arizona including locations in Walgreens. It is just announced that Theranos just voided two years of certain blood tests due to quality control issues.

Events like these will continue to confuse and frustrate many Arizonans.

Broker Consolidation

Then there is ongoing consolidation of the larger insurance brokers. Many smaller agents are older and retiring. Zenefits, the market disruptor in this field, is failing with proper licensing compliance. Zenefits has also taken thousands of employers on Broker of Record letters. In my opinion, Zenefits is not staffed by longstanding experts in the Arizona health insurance marketplace and they will not be able to handle their employer renewal work load in the fourth quarter 2016.

End of Grandmother Plans

The last negative item is the fact that all old-style benefit plans that remain under the grandmother exceptions will need to move to Affordable Care Act compliant plans. For example, many employers still have $10,000 deductible plans with low rates. These plans must improve their benefits by January 2018 at the latest.

Innovations and Good News!

Now for the positive. First, Arizona Kidscare was finally approved and an estimated 30,000 children of working families will now have health insurance.

“In addition to the medical services for our children Kidscare will bring an estimated $40 million of positive economic impact to Arizona at little expense to the state” according to Steve Roman, partner of FirstStrategic.

Next, like all Americans, Arizonians enjoy creative destruction. For example, my April article outlined how Paul Johnson and David Berg and their Redirect Health

initiative will guide employers to achieving reduced costs and improved benefits.

Hospitals and insurance companies must drive revenue growth in what I call this “medical industrial complex” world of ours. Redirect Health is the best antidote to combat this overconsumption and overpaying for medical services that I know of.

Another example of an innovative Arizona employer solution is EMI Health. EMI has industry specific, pooled health insurance that offers employers engagement and transparency on how their health care dollars are spent. This program that is unique to this market and is gaining in popularity.

The voluntary health and insurance markets are thriving including critical illness, hospital indemnity, disability, dental, etc. Limited self-funding is available to businesses with 10 or fewer employees.

Short-term health insurance can be used for certain individual and family circumstances. It seems that a combination of these lower costing solutions is rapidly gaining market share.

Action Required

What you need is an expert health insurance agent to guide you when your time of reckoning arrives later this year.

These Scottsdale teens are ‘golden’

T

wo North Scottsdale-area teens—Ariana Schein and Rachel DeStigter Boatwright—have been honored by the Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council with the highest award in Girl Scouting: the Gold Award.

“One of the most impactful parts of Girl Scouting is earning the girl Scout Gold Award,” said Tamara Woodbury, CEO of Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council.

“This prestigious award represents the highest achievement in girl Scouting and challenges girls ages 14 to 17 to initiate meaningful, sustainable change locally, nationally, or globally through unique ‘take action’ projects of their own creation.”

According to Woodbury, 2016 is special as the Girl Scouts are celebrating the milestone 100th anniversary of the Gold Award. Earning the award is somewhat comparable to the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Scout. While both achievements require developing and completing a service project, Girl Scouts must create a project that is continues to give back to the community long after they move on. Overall, the process usually takes 18 to 24 months and often involves seeking in-kind donations and recruiting volunteers.

Others recognize the value of the Gold Award, too. Some universities and colleges offer scholarships to award recipients and girls who enlist in the U.S. armed forces may receive advanced

rank in recognition of their achievements.

“Empowering girls to lead is one of the greatest investments we can make,” said Woodbury. “When women adopt leadership roles, they contribute

a unique set of skills, ideas and life experiences that enrich and strengthen communities. Girl Scouts, and the Gold Award specifically, gives girls the support and guidance they need as they step into impactful leadership roles.”

For many of these girls, this award is the culmination of more than 10 years in the Girl Scouts.

The attorney’s role

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

C

ommercial leases and purchase agreements are legal contracts. They are typically written by the property owner’s legal adviser and crafted to protect the interests of the landlord or seller.

After locating suitable space and negotiating satisfactory lease/purchase terms, but before

signing legally binding documents, it is a good idea to have an experienced real estate attorney review the documents. In addition to those terms and conditions that have been negotiated by your real estate adviser (i.e., rate/price, size, term, concessions, condition of the premises, improvements, exclusive/

permitted uses, parking, warranties, signage, options and the like), most lease and purchase agreements contain pages and pages of largely standardized, or boilerplate, terms and conditions.

It should not be the charter of the attorney to either renegotiate the economic terms (also known as “re-trading”) or attempt to rewrite the entire contract. Rather, their principal function is to make certain the lease or purchase agreements are reasonably balanced and that their clients understand where they may have legal exposure. Tenants and buyers should seek explanations of legal terms (in layman’s language) and written comments on those items that could affect their pocketbook or legal rights.

Examples can include such things as default provisions, relocation clauses, definitions of operating expenses passed-through to the tenants, holdover provisions, assignment and subletting rights, to name a few.

For the majority of contracts, a thorough document review with written comments should take an experienced attorney three to five hours and cost between $600 and $1,500. Complex transactions, however, could increase the tab into the thousands.

It should be noted that attorneys typically specialize in a particular segment of the law. I suggest interviewing several to confirm their experience in commercial lease and/or purchase contracts, and come to an understanding on the range of costs for the review and comment of the subject document. Also, obtain agreement beforehand whether the attorney you are speaking with will be the person conducting the document review, or whether another, less experienced person will be delegated the task.

In my experience, it is preferable to work with a senior level attorney who has significant practical (read: “real life”) experience.

Summary Comment: The attorney

is an essential member of the tenant/ buyer’s team. Yes, they cost money—but it’s generally money well spent to have a legal advocate looking out for your interests and available when needed. 

Chamber will sponsor forums, but not endorse candidates

By Mark J. Hiegel

ity Council elections. Instead we’ll devote time and energy to discuss issues and sponsor forums in which voters can watch and compare the candidates side by side.

This is a break in tradition for the Chamber, which has historically endorsed candidates. It also sets us apart from the Arizona, Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler and Tempe chambers of commerce, which all endorsed candidates in 2014.

It was a relatively easy decision. Our Public Policy Advisory Committee and Executive Committee unanimously recommended that we no longer endorse candidates. The full Board of Directors unanimously adopted the new policy on May 24. They were following the wishes of our members, who in a recent survey overwhelmingly preferred the Chamber not take sides in candidate elections. The board’s action doesn’t mean won’t endorse candidates in the future; we’ll just look at it year to year.

Why the change?

Essentially, it’s how our members and board answered another question: What’s the best way for the Chamber to be involved in this city election?

We’ve decided it’s to talk about what is most important to us and to voters. It’s to discuss the issues vital to this city’s future.

In our view, that means promoting quality development and redevelopment, as well as business-friendly city policies.

We will always advocate for highcapacity transportation and economic and job growth. We will do everything we can to safeguard the Scottsdale Airport and the surrounding Airpark, terrific economic drivers for the city and for Arizona.

We are strong supporters of education and the Desert Discovery Center. We will champion community improvements and enhancement to Scottsdale’s high quality of life.

You can expect those issues to be front and center at the forums we’ll host this summer, which we’ll schedule once we

know who is on the ballot. (And please share with me other issues or questions you think we should explore at our forums.)

If everyone who is circulating petitions turns them in, there would be a three-way race for mayor between the incumbent, Jim Lane, and challengers Bob Littlefield and Bill Crawford. Five candidates would run for three seats on the City Council: incumbents Virginia Korte, Suzanne Klapp and Guy Phillips, and challengers Dan Schweiker and Tom Giller. June 1 was the deadline to turn in the petitions.

The candidates are also collecting donations to run their campaigns. As an organization, the Chamber will not contribute to any candidates, but board members and staff may—not as representatives of the Chamber, but as private individuals. No one gives up their First Amendment rights when they participate with this organization.

Scottsdale voters will cast ballots in the primary election Tuesday, Aug. 30, with any necessary runoff election set for Nov. 8.

It’s going to be an exciting election with passionate debate about Scottsdale’s future. The chamber looks forward to participating in that conversation and in educating voters, but this year, that information won’t include an endorsement.  Mark Hiegel is president and CEO of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce.

Protecting the ones you love from the unexpected

By Abbie Shindler, Partner at Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner

I

t is common to hear the terms “last will and testament” and “revocable living trust agreement,” but it is not very common to be familiar with the differences between the two documents. Both are useful estate planning devices that serve different purposes, and they can work together to create a complete estate plan.”

What is a Last Will and Testament?

A last will and testament (“will”) is a written document that says how you want your property and assets distributed following your death. In it, you: • Identify the person you’ve assigned to manage your estate’s probate (called your personal representative) • Identify your heirs • Name guardians for your minor children, if applicable • Specify how to pay taxes and debts • Make charitable gifts • Describe how you want what’s left of your estate to be distributed to your loved ones

What is Probate?

Your will must go through probate, which is a legal process administered by a state court representative to carry out the wishes in your will. The probate process includes the following steps: Appointing your personal representative(s) • Giving notice to heirs/beneficiaries • Giving notice to creditors • Valuing property • Valuing other estate assets • Preparing tax returns • Paying taxes • Preparing accounting for the estate • Distributing your estate’s final assets to your beneficiaries A probate may have advantages when

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

creditors are involved. Arizona requires a four-month period during which creditors can assert claims against the estate.

Creditors who fail to file claims within this timeframe are barred from further action— leaving more money in your estate.

In Arizona, for relatively small estates, an affidavit may be used to collect assets and avoid the full probate process.

Will challenges

During probate, a will can be contested in two ways. First, a person can claim the deceased was incompetent and did not have the mental capacity to execute the will.

Second, a person can claim undue influence— an allegation that the deceased was unfairly influenced or coerced into executing the will in a certain way.

When a will is contested, it is often expensive and vicious. The best thing, of course, is to avoid will challenges in the first place. The use of videotapes, audiotapes and witnesses (for example, doctors attesting that the person executing the will is of sound mind) can help mitigate these challenges.

Common Misconceptions About Wills Misconception No. 1: Probate doesn’t cost much.

Not true. Probate is often expensive because you have to hire attorneys, CPAs, appraisers and other professionals to help you during the probate process— and all of these cost money. For example, it is common for an attorney to charge a minimum of $3,000 to probate a will.

Worse, if a will is contested, the costs can skyrocket. A probate often costs much more than having an estate plan prepared.

Misconception No. 2: Probate only takes a few weeks.

Not true. The law requires the probate process to go on for four months to give creditors time to file claims against the estate.

In Arizona, although the probate process usually takes a minimum of four months, it is quite common for it to take one year or longer.

In extreme cases, it can take decades. For

example, famed billionaire Howard Hughes’ estate took years to settle.

Misconception No. 3: A Will provides tax protection.

No, a will has absolutely no effect on your taxes. Only a living trust (discussed later) offers tax savings for married couples.

Misconception No. 4: A will is private.

No, it’s not. You already learned that a will must go through probate. Because probate is a court process, this means all the details of your estate, including information about your assets, becomes public record. Whatever your reasons, you may decide you don’t want this information to be made public.

Misconception No. 5: All your real property can be handled through the same probate.

This is only true if your real estate holdings (such as primary residence, investment properties and vacation homes) are located in the same state; otherwise, there must be a separate probate in each state. Depending on the state, an affidavit may be accepted to transfer real/ personal property if a probate has already commenced in another state.

Misconception No. 6: A will only involves the cost of drawing up the documents.

Not true. What’s true is that compared to other alternatives, a will is relatively inexpensive to establish in terms of upfront costs. However, because your estate must go through probate, you should also consider the back-end costs associated with a will. Therefore, the total expense of a will is the cost of preparing the will initially plus the anticipated costs of probating the estate (including attorney’s fees and other assessments on the estate).

A revocable living trust: Your key to avoid probate.

A revocable living trust is a trust you set up while you’re alive that describes in detail what you want to happen to your estate

coach'scorner upon your death. It addresses all the same important issues as a will so you can be assured that your estate will be handled according to your wishes after you’re gone.

It is referred to as a revocable living trust because you, at any time during your life, can alter, amend or even revoke it entirely.

However, you must fully fund your trust with your assets to avoid probate.

Will vs. trusts quiz

This brief quiz will help you determine what estate planning instrument—either a last will and testament, or a revocable living trust—is most appropriate for you.

Are you married? __ Y __ N Do you have minor children? __ Y __ N Do you own property in Arizona? __ Y __ N Do you own property in another state (vacation home/time share)? __ Y __ N Do you have a business interest (ownership or investment)? __ Y __ N Are your assets valued at more than $75,000? __ Y __ N

Answer Key:

If you answered “yes” to one or more questions, you are likely a good candidate for a living trust.

If you answered “no” to these questions, it is likely that a simple last will and testament (without a living trust) would be sufficient.

To determine whether a living trust or a last will and testament is right for you, contact an estate planning professional to discuss your specific situation. 

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore New world, new work

By Jen Smith

C

ool finds. It’s always fun to come upon a new and interesting spot, product, person, author, song, whatever. Finding something novel is intoxicating. A cool find of mine recently in cyberspace is rework. withgoogle.com/blog. There’s an especially interesting article titled “The five keys to a successful Google team.”

Worth a read, but, to recap, the five are: Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed? Dependability: Can we count on each other to do highquality work on time?

• Structure and clarity: Are goals, roles and execution plans on our team clear?

• Meaning of work: Are we working on something that is personally important for each of us?

• Impact of work: Do we fundamentally believe that the work we’re doing matters?

The new way of working—in teams, pods, groups—is not really all that new. We’ve always had to work in a collaborative way, interdependent with all the other groups within an organization. It is just more and more common today to break down silos and organize around outcomes rather than functions. This is good news.

The challenging part of this is that we need new skills, new ways of communicating and working together.

Old paradigms no longer empower us.

I’m thinking specifically of the ability to be a leader. So much has been written and researched about leadership and yet it is such a mystery. I think that’s the case because we have romanticized and fantasized it so much that we are missing the real thing. Like the Wizard of Oz, we want it to be booming and

bright and majestic, when, in reality, when it finally shows up, it is quiet and nurturing and humble.

So many clients over the years have lamented the lack of leadership in their organizations. “If only our leaders would lead.” “Our leadership is horrible.” Now typically, as a coach, I’m a listener, not an interrupter. But when I hear these kinds of things, I always stop the conversation short and ask a new question. “What kind of leadership are you bringing to the workplace?”

Yes, you. Each of us is a leader and creator of our work environment. In the crazy, complex, rapid-paced, quick change world, there is no such thing as a “wizard” with all the answers.

A C-level team may be scrambling every day to keep pace. No one has a magic mirror into the future. We all need one another at every level of the organization showing up with brains and hearts and spirits to figure it out together. Blaming your inability to perform on leadership is just plain lazy. Step up to the challenge...be the leader that is needed. And then...

What is really cool is when we can find something newly radical inside ourselves.

Solar might be a good investment

By Rod Dennis

I

f you lived in Seattle, where sunshine is a rare commodity, it wouldn’t make sense to outfit your home with solar.

But you don’t live in Seattle. You live in Arizona, which is one of the sunniest cities in the country, according to the website NerdWallet. And Arizonans are taking advantage of our abundance of rays. Over the past four years, we have enjoyed one of the biggest increases in solar installations in the nation, says the Solar Energy Industries Association, the national trade group representing all organizations that promote, manufacture, install and support development of solar energy.

In 2015, Arizona installed 234 million watts (MW) of solar electric capacity,

huge market opportunity.

The two industries have clashed over how much utilities should pay for excess power that solar-equipped homes generate and whether solar customers should pay special fees to cover the costs of being connected to the electric grid.

Arizona voters might get to decide whether utilities can charge special rates to solar customers that make it less economical.

An industry-backed group recently filed paperwork seeking to place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would preserve the system of net metering, where utilities give solar customers a oneto-one credit for most of the excess power they send to the grid.

ranking it sixth nationally, according to SEIA. The 2,303 MW of solar energy installed in Arizona makes us second in the country in installed solar capacity. That’s enough to power 327,000 homes.

However, the solar picture has become somewhat clouded since 2014 as a result of public debates about its benefits, net metering levies and other issues. SEIA is working to encourage stability and transparency into policies, so that the market can recover from this blip in solar uptake In Arizona, APS, the state’s largest electricity provider, sees the extensive growth of rooftop sun power as a threat to its business models, while solar firms see a

therealdeal Net metering helps customers lower their utility bills because the credits they get for excess power accumulate and offset power they draw from their utility at night or when they have multiple appliances running, requiring more power than their solar panels generate.

The initiative is called Arizona Solar Energy Freedom Act, and because it seeks to amend the state constitution, supporters will have to get 225,963 signatures by early July to get it on the ballot this fall.

APS and other utilities have been adding new fees to solar customers, contending they don’t pay their fair share of maintaining the power grid. The initiative, if passed, would end that practice.

Whatever the outcome, you might still consider going solar, whether it’s to reduce your carbon footprint or cut your electric bills—or both. If it’s savings you’re after, you’ll have to stay put for about seven to 10 years on average to get into the black. If you do stay in your home that long, you’d be an exception. That’s because the average homeowner sells at seven years.

What makes solar particularly attractive

is the steady rise in your electric bill.

Government data shows that the average percentage increase in Arizona electric bills has shot up 44% between 2005 and 2015. And you can bet that electricity prices will continue to take a bigger chunk out of your budget.

Installing a solar panel system takes you out of this cycle. It either eliminates your electric bill completely or reduces it so much that electricity costs are no longer a significant factor in your budget.

If you decide to buy a solar system, plan to shell out about $20,000. Will you get that back—and maybe more—when you sell your home? Maybe. Maybe not.

Some buyers might object to paying for this costly improvement. A recent article in the Arizona Republic noted that sellers make decisions based on fiscal sense and their own personal values, while buyers may not realize the same financial return or be as “green.”

Going solar is a huge financial commitment, so you’ll want all your questions answered before writing a check.

An excellent place to start is the SEIA’s

The Wallbed Experts.

Residential Guide to Solar Power, which is on the organization’s website, www.seia. org.

Another good information source is the Arizona Solar Industries Association (www.ariseia.com). There you can find material specific to Arizona, as well “preferred” installers among the nearly 400 solar companies in the state.

At the website www.solar-estimate. org/?page=rightformer you can use a calculator to run a solar analysis that will give you can idea of your energy bill savings and the net system cost, after tax credits and other incentives. Keep in mind, the results are based on many assumptions and the limited data you enter. An actual site assessment by a trained professional contractor will be needed to determine the actual costs and benefits of installing a system.  Rod Dennis is vice president of mortgage lending for Guaranteed Rate.

JUNE Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA “The Valley’s Astrologer” 2016 will be a year of wonder, riding the rapids of the world, alternating crises, events, new technology and exciting scientific discoveries that will have a lasting impact on our lives.

ARIES 3/21-4/21 Communication will be emphasized during the first half of the month. Set those ideas into play. Watch carefully how you communicate with colleagues. Don’t let this discourage you. Things will fall into place by June 13. Don’t overspend as there may be unexpected expenses. Matters at home may need more of your time by June 23.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 You’ll have many opportunities for social events and out-of-the-office activities this month. Go ahead and accept those invitations. There is a need for balance. Midmonth brings a promotion or career change. For others, it may mean a change in partnerships.

Mars ends its retrograde in the weeks ahead. Expect communications to improve.

TAURUS 4/22-5/20 Expect a major financial change around June 5, when the new moon arrives. Arrange any meetings or presentations for early in the month. You should put your emphasis on financial matters the first two weeks of the month.

If you’re seeking a loan or line of credit, you may have a solution the third week of the month.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 Work with people out of your comfort zone this month.

Make the most of it. New moons are opportune times to expect changes at work. Finances will be challenging from June 18 onward. Try not to judge your financial future from this month’s events. Your social skills will be an asset.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 If you think things aren’t moving as fast as you expected, you are right. Between the new moon on June 5 and the full moon on June 20, you will either need a new game plan or let go of your career/work matters. On June 21, when the sun joins Venus and Mercury, your earnings could increase, along with your social contacts.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 Your confidence is at its max this month. The first couple weeks you’ll be trying to please people and socialize. You may need to micromanage at work.

Don’t believe everything you hear until June 17. Be open to change.

LEO 7/23-8/22 In spite of the many social and family obligations, June is a promising month. June 9 is favorable for presentations, launching a new product or starting a different job. Your work and home life may be demanding, once the sun enters Cancer, on the June 21.

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2016

SCORPIO 10/23-11/22 There’s a greater emphasis on your finances.

Restrain yourself and show patience at work. Financial dealings may be tricky. On a lighter note, June will be more socially adventurous.

SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 You’ll be impatient while Mars is in your sign for a lengthy time. The manner in which you react to or engage with others requires balance. You are confident in social settings.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 You are in good shape financially until June 21. After that, you may have to work harder for earnings than usual. Your desire to leave your job is intensified. You’ll have the potential to turn chaos into order by midmonth. Plan meetings, interviews and showings for the week of June 21.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 The best days of the month to follow through on goals are June 12, June 14 and June 26. You’ll have to work harder than

usual for earnings this month. Make inquiries or cold calls between June 5 and June 20. Try to adapt to situations as best as you can.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Trust your instincts and impulses as the month begins. Your career will ramp up after June 5. From June 1 to June 17 you will be socially active. Your life is so relaxed that you might be wondering if there’s a problem.

Learn to plan ahead for potential problems. A series of stops and starts could happen. Underline June 1 to June 30.
