Hangar Man

J

ohn Meyer’s lifelong love of aviation isn’t just written on his face, in the form of a big grin as he climbs aboard a Cessna Citation II jet that’s just emerged from one of the hangars at Scottsdale Airport – it’s also written on his tie, in the form of a small, needlepoint runway design etched into the fabric. He points this out with pride. From the model jet perched atop a filing cabinet to the paintings of planes that adorn the walls, everything about John Meyer’s office speaks to his passion for and knowledge of all things aviation.

Meyer’s been in the Airpark for more than 32 years, working in corporate aviation positions ranging from fixed-base operator (FBO) at Scottsdale Airport to general manager of Turbofan Aircraft Programs with Honeywell. As principal and founder of Airport Property Specialists, Meyer develops airplane properties and commercial real estate in the Airpark, including hangar space. And right now, hangar space is tight – Meyer says his company only has about 2 percent of available hangar space, a result of the recent economic upturn that’s led to a slew of new construction projects around the Airpark.

In this month’s cover story, “Hangars On!” (page 23), writer Kenneth LaFave explores the (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) current state and future of aviation storage with Niki D'Andrea Meyer and other sources. Turns out, the hangar Executive Editor shortage isn’t limited to Scottsdale.

Part of the current state of hangars includes their alternatives uses – as one-off concert halls, private party spaces, wedding venues and more. See how the other half hangars in Jimmy Magahern’s story “What’s in that Hangar?” (page 35). Keeping with this month’s theme, we land at The Hangar Food & Spirits for a couple happy hours (“5 O’Clock in the Airpark," page 18), and we take a fascinating look at the rich history of Scottsdale aviation, courtesy of Joan Fudala in this month’s “Remember When?” story (page 44).

Since Valley temperatures are rising faster than a jet taking off, we also sent managing editor Becky Bracken out to uncover “4 Cool Pools” that provide aquatic relief around the Airpark. Get your feet wet starting on page 32.

Who knows? Maybe this time next year, we’ll be writing about secret water features in former hangar spaces. Not likely, but the bigger picture can be hard to see sometimes until we hone in on the details, like the needlepoint runway on John Meyer’s tie.

Blue Door Therapeutics now open in Scottsdale

Blue Door Therapeutics has opened in North Scottsdale what it says is “the first opiate treatment center in the world to combine medical cannabis, traditional medicine, alternative medicine and naturopathic treatments,” according to a press release.

The company was created by board-certified physicians Frank Lovecchio, Gina Mecagni Berman and Ravi Chandiramani, who helped raise more than $2 million in private funding to launch the clinic. Treatment will be (Photo courtesy Serendipit Consulting) focused on those affected Dr. Gina Berman is one of three by opioid addiction. “The physicians behind Blue Door opioid epidemic is at an all- Therapeutics. time high. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with Arizona placing in the top 10 for opioid distribution,” Berman says. “Our team is committed to creating a customized exit strategy for each patient by using a combination of therapies to decrease opioid dependency.”

Treatment methods include the use of medical marijuana.

“At Blue Door, we don’t view cannabis as an illicit substance,” Chandiramani says. “We view it as a medical treatment that makes a lot of sense when you understand the underlying neuropharmacology between opioids and cannabis.”

Blue Door Therapeutics, currently operating out of a temporary space at 10900 N. Scottsdale Road, plans to open a permanent location in the area this fall. For more information, visit bluedoor.org.

Luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers has partnered with Innovative Wine Cellar Designs to bring new, in-home “wine showrooms” to buyers. The glass-enclosed, above-ground custom spaces complement interior design and provide eye-catching storage for wine collections. “Our custom wine storages are aesthetic masterpieces created by artisans and craftsmen who are passionate about their work,” says Sandy Horowitz, president of Innovative Wine Cellar Designs. “We achieve the perfect blend of architectural elements and artistic design based upon the homebuyer’s individualistic

taste and desires.”

Toll Brothers senior division vice president Kevin Rosinski adds, “Toll Brothers and Innovative Wine Cellar Designs is a perfect pairing. Our partnership scores 100 points with wine connoisseurs who appreciate ideal storage conditions and having designated in-home space to exhibit their collections.”

The wine showrooms cost between $15,000 and $60,000 and can store up to 3,000 bottles of wine. Wine rooms are available to view in model homes at Turquesa and Talon Ranch in Scottsdale.

Airpark auto care specialist donates $5,000 in repairs to residents In observance of a “Day of Service” on May 11, Jim Winter Auto Care, in conjunction with ACDelco, provided free vehicle repairs worth $5,000 to Scottsdale residents. Those who needed complimentary repairs were selected in advance, and Jim Winter Auto Care mechanics replaced worn tie rods, installed new brakes and performed maintenance on heating and air conditioning systems.

The event was part of an annual nationwide effort by ACDelco to provide free repairs for people who can’t afford to keep

their cars safe and reliable. “Everyone should have access to reliable and safe transportation, but costly repairs can be out of budget for many families,” said Kellie Van Maele, a spokeswoman for ACDelco, General Motors’ automotive parts brand. “ACDelco and local auto repair shops around the country want to help the communities they serve get the repairs they need to maintain a safe standard of living.”

airparkbusinessnews Local group raises nearly $1 million for juvenile diabetes research

The Desert Southwest Chapter of JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) raised nearly $1 million on April 29 at its annual One Walk in Mesa. The Scottsdale-based chapter joined around 14,000 other people from all over the Valley at the yearly event, one of JDRF’s signature events to raise funds to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes. In addition to participating in the 5K walk, the Desert Southwest Chapter introduced and hosted the first JDRF Rock & Run 5K nighttime event, which drew almost 500 participants.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled at the success this impactful event achieved this year,” JDRF executive director Paul Boca-Bommarito says.

“Thanks to the incredible supporters of JDRF One Walk, our community and generous sponsors, JDRF is able to direct more funding toward important T1D research for the 1.25 million people with this disease.”

People interested in learning more about type 1 diabetes, JDRF or the annual One Walk can visit the Desert Southwest Chapter website at dsw.jdrf.org.

hen you say the word “wings” at The Hangar Food & Spirits, you’re most likely ordering the establishment’s award-winning chicken wings. But you could also be referring to airplane wings, since this aviation-themed bar boasts several paintings of various aircraft, along with design elements like faux propellers for booth backs and airplane nose cones as sculptures.

As far as neighborhood bars go, The Hangar has it all: multiple flat-screen TVs showing sports, off-track betting for horse races (also displayed throughout the bar), a sizable selection of homegrown and craft beers, tasty tacos and burgers, a pool table, and an arcade area with pinball games. It’s frequently busy, with people spilling onto the patio when the weather is nice, and sometimes even when it’s not, to enjoy the stogies they bought at Oggie’s Cigars, The Hangar’s next-door strip mall neighbor. Most people here seem familiar with each other.

The food menu is typical bar food – burgers, sandwiches, simple salads, and

wings – but there are a couple of standout appetizers in the pretzel bites with beer cheese and the fried Wisconsin jalapeño cheese curds. During happy hour (4 to 7 p.m.

Monday through Friday), the pretzel bites cost just $5 (as do the worthy house-made chips with Buffalo sauce). Happy hour drink specials include $3 well drinks, $4 house wines, and $1 off all beers.

Another tasty special is $2 street tacos on Tuesdays. Available in soft-shell or crunchy flour or corn tortillas, stuffed with crumbled beef and topped with crunchy lettuce, sweet diced tomato and shreds of sharp cheddar cheese, the tacos are simple but superb.

There are 10 sauces to choose from when ordering the wings, which come in “flightless” (boneless) and traditional versions: Buffalo, sriracha honey, spicy teriyaki, “Gold & Bold,” coconut Thai, honey garlic, chipotle BBQ, Boulder, honey hot, and for fans of the incendiary, XXX hot. On Thursdays, The Hangar offers six flightless wings for $6, plus $4 Jack Daniel’s and Jack Fire drinks.

The Hangar’s half-pound burgers are

seasoned with salt and garlic and given a nice char before being set between sturdy grilled buns and topped with cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato and red onion.

A quarter-pound cheeseburger with salty, perfectly cooked shoestring fries costs just $6 on Fridays. With $4 kamikaze shots and 16-ounce cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon for $2.50 also on special for the big F-Day, some people might have to consider a longer layover in one of the many leather booths, bathed in the light of the giant projection screen showing whatever sport’s in season while alternative rock plays on the bar’s speakers.

Just don’t wade into the way of the crowd watching (and maybe betting on) the horse races. They’re an excitable bunch. With cheap drinks, elevated bar food and friends all around, who could blame them? Not anyone with a mouthful of $6 cheeseburger. 

ob Parsons and Marianne Guenther understand the importance of bringing jobs to Arizona.

GoDaddy founder Parsons saw entertainment jobs trickling from Arizona to places like Los Angeles, New Mexico and Atlanta. So he opened Airpark-based Sneaky Big Studios.

He appointed Guenther chief executive officer and the two have elevated the state’s film and production industry.

“He knew that in order to help bring more business from the film and production industry to Arizona and to stop the bleeding of jobs that originate here, we needed a top-notch, state-of-the-art facility. He set about his goal to accomplish that,” Guenther says.

Sneaky Big Studios opened in August 2016, with a 15,000-squarefoot advanced production facility. The building at 15750 N. Northsight Boulevard has a 4,000-square-foot stage that rivals studios in Los Angeles and New York.

“Another tool that he knew had to be in place to elevate Arizona

with film and production was the opening of the state film office,” Guenther says.

The Office of Film and Digital Media, which is housed within the Arizona Commerce Authority, was re-established, thanks to Parsons, on December 1.

“It’s been an interesting journey and it’s paying off,” says Guenther, the former executive vice president at GoDaddy. “We’re

Sneaky Big Studios and its 10-person staff aren’t just about commercials. The company, which falls within Parsons’ Big Yam Worldwide, hosts free workshops to improve the skills of the film and production specialists in Arizona. But there’s more to it.

“We can produce commercials or live broadcasts out of here,” Guenther says.

“If Senator McCain needed to be on CNN, ABC and CBS, he can switch to the different networks live within the facility.

“With the Waste Management Phoenix Open, there were a bunch of cameramen on the course. The entire show could be switched to the network directly from our facility. The sweet spot has been television commercials lately, but we can really do it all.”

The work-life culture at Sneaky Big Studios is just as fulfilling, Guenther says.

Taking care of the company’s “teammates” is just as important as catering to its customers.

“Those are two things we live and breathe by,” she says. “And with that recipe, it’s amazing what we can accomplish. If we have happy people who come to work every day, we have happy customers.”

HANGARS ON! Airpark storage space shrinks with business boom

By Kenneth LaFave / Photos by Kimberly Carrillo

J

ohn Meyer keeps a certain photograph as the wallpaper of his computer screen. It shows him inside a glasswalled building at Scottsdale Airport. Through the glass you see an aircraft undergoing maintenance just in front of a hangar.

The photo speaks to Meyer’s role as principal and designated broker for Airport Property Specialists.

The photo also says something about the cheek-by-jowl compactness of the airport and the adjacent Airpark, the conjunction of aviation and business that makes Scottsdale Airpark the densest concentration of businesses in the state. More than 3,000 companies employ more than 50,000 people in the Airpark,

which stretches roughly from Loop 101 to the north to Redfield/ Thunderbird to the south, and from 64th Street to the west to 90th Street to the east. Many of the companies rely on aircraft as part of their business, which is why they have chosen proximity to one of the busiest single-runway airports in the country.

Scottsdale Airport and the wider Airpark are a picture of success, and the nation knows it. When other, similar airports look for advice, Scottsdale is where they turn.

But it’s currently the victim of that very success. Think of the problem you encounter when there’s no place to park and you’ll get the idea.

Airport Property Specialists owner John Meyer says they’re “scrambling to find good hangar space.”

…continues on page 24 June 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News | 23

…continued from page 23 “I would say we currently have a 2 percent vacancy in our hangars, and it might even be less than that,” Meyer says.

The 2 percent availability is the result of two equal and opposite actions: the economic downturn of ‘08 with its subsequent recession, and the more recent upturn. When the downturn occurred, hangars went empty, and an empty hangar is a costly property to maintain. So to keep the revenue flowing, some of those empty hangars got leased to non-aviation customers, chief among them car collectors and car-restoration companies.

“We are living with the result of that,” Meyer observes. “It’s a simple supply-and-demand

situation. Where we are today, we’re seeing greater demand than ever for hangars from aviation-related companies, but a lot of the ones we have are being occupied by non-aviation users,” Meyer says.

One answer immediately springs to mind, of course: Build more.

Not so simple.

Beth Aerts, office manager for Airport Property Specialists, traces the borders of Scottsdale Airpark on a large wall map and points to the six gates that lead from the Airport proper to taxiway stubs inside the privately owned land. Every step of the way, the map shows already developed land, one parcel after …continues on page 25

John Meyer says his company has only 2 percent hangar vacancy.

24 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

A VALLEYWIDE HANGAR DROUGHT Hangar space is hard to find at Scottsdale Airport, but it certainly isn’t any more plentiful elsewhere in the Valley, either. While Scottsdale Airport only has a 2 percent hangar availability, tops, Deer Valley Airport has even less. “We have 740 hangars and only two of them are open,” says Steve Prieser, Deer Valley Airport vice president and CFO. “And they’re small hangars, for little singleengine piston planes. I could shoehorn those in, but no jets."

The advantage Deer Valley has over Scottsdale is the vacant space surrounding it. “We’ve got

room to grow,” Prieser says, adding that several construction projects are being considered.

Even Sky Harbor is hurting for hangar space, according to Prieser. The most plentiful available hangar space in the Valley right now, he says, is at Goodyear Airport.

“We have room for maybe one or two small jets,” says Tim Berger, co-owner of LuxAir at Goodyear. More hangars are in the planning stages.

The situation at Phoenix/Mesa Gateway is about the same.

The question: How long will it take for supply to catch up with demand?

…continued from page 24 another, one occupied hangar after another.

And beyond the hangars lie the businesses of the greater Airpark.

“We are landlocked,” Aerts concludes.

Requests for hangars are numerous, and for good reason. The Airpark’s reputation precedes itself.

“It’s a destination airport, one I think we’re lucky to have as a model for the rest of the country,” Aerts says. “It doesn’t use any tax dollars, and not a lot of airports can say that. Plus, the rules and regulations Scottsdale adopted back in the 1990s have been adopted by airports around the country.”

The site originally was a training center for the Army Air Corps during World War II. After a period in which it belonged to the Church of Seventh Day Adventists, who used it in connection with a pilot program for its missionaries, the City of Scottsdale obtained it in the 1960s. The 1980s saw its period of greatest growth, and the innovation of the “through-thefence” idea of private taxiway access to the runway. At the time, this was a new and bold plan, and it has since been adopted by many other airports around the country.

It’s a simple supply-and-demand situation.

Where we are today, we’re seeing greater demand than ever for hangars from aviation-related companies, but a lot of the ones we have are being occupied by non-aviation users.

The city grew and the Airpark grew with it until both arrived at the current boom, with its rewards and its challenges.

“We’re scrambling to find good hangar space,” Meyer admits. “We had a major company come to us with a super-midsized jet as part of their business. We had to find a home for their jet. In that case, we were able to satisfy their need. They bought a hangar at $305 per square foot, and moved their company headquarters to Scottsdale Road.”

On the other hand, “We had two companies inform us recently to say we’re coming to town,” Meyer says. “They asked ‘Can you find a place for our airplane?’ At one time it would have been a no-brainer

because of the many vacancies. There was plenty of space. Now the problem is not only finding a hangar, but finding the proper hangar for the size of their airplane.”

That search is ongoing, but in at least one recent case, it was not possible to find an appropriate hangar for a business that sought to relocate here.

Help, of a sort, is on the way. The massive renovations announced by Scottsdale Airport for completion in the summer of 2018 will include two executive hangars, with the capacity for larger aircraft. The old terminal will be knocked down later this summer to begin the process.

And while it is scarce, some vacant land …continues on page 26

…continued from page 25 is available within workable distance. Not all the owners of that land wish to sell, however.

“There’s space, though not a lot,” Meyer says. “And we are starting to see new construction, which is encouraging. Someone is building a new, 10,000-square-foot hangar

set to be completed by the end of the year.

We’ll have tenants before the building is completed. Other people are looking to build but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.”

Inflation doesn’t help. Wresting land from owners who see it as an investment is difficult when land values have soared in

recent months. Difficult – but not impossible.

Between new construction, purchase of available land, the terminal renovation/buildout and gently pushing to get car collectors to find different storage, there is hope.

“The situation is starting to correct itself,” Meyer says. “But it’s slow.” 

Wright The

Five famous architectural sites to see around Scottsdale

By Mike Butler

E

very year, hordes of design fans make the pilgrimage to Taliesin West and take scenic drives around the Valley to glimpse buildings that master architect Frank Lloyd Wright or one of his students had a hand in.

You’re probably related to or friends with one of them. You may chuckle every time you shop at the Promenade or drive past Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Scottsdale Road. She or he shifts into tour-guide mode and excitedly recounts the history of the Frank Lloyd Wright Spire.

You know the story, but you feel a sense of pride as a citizen and taxpayer of your forward-thinking city.

Phoenix’s loss – Wright’s towering, futuristic blue icon was rejected as an idea for the State Capitol grounds in the 1950s – became the Airpark’s monumental gain in 2004.

June 8 is the 150th anniversary of Wright's birth, so the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is planning several special events at Taliesin West that will appeal to the architect’s longtime fans and newbies alike.

On April 8, the first of three symposia kicked off with a free, four-hour discussion that traced Wright’s influence in Arizona, the Bay Area, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe.

Events also take place at Taliesin in Wisconsin and many other states where Wright had an impact. In New York City, beginning June 12, the Museum of Modern Art will unpack its archives with an exhibi-

tion of 450 drawings, models, scrapbooks and other media.

Jeff Goodman, director of marketing and communication for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, says organization members who receive its quarterly magazine will also get the first of a four-issue collector set in June. The basic annual Friend level costs $50 per year and gives you a 10 percent discount in the Taliesin West bookstore, in addition to the magazine.

Upping the donation level to $120 opens the Insider door and a bigger bag of Wright

goodies: a pass for two to Taliesin West (good for a year), plus reciprocal benefits at Taliesin, Fallingwater, the Guggenheim and many more. This level can also get you into local events at private homes that Wright built, such as the exemplary Wright and Price houses.

More information about upcoming events can be found at the recently redesigned website franklloydwright.org. In the meantime, here are five FLW footprints in the Airpark and beyond that you can explore.

Stuff

A look inside Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home, Taliesin West (photo by Mike Butler)

Taliesin West 12621 Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., Scottsdale One- to three-hour tours at Wright’s winter home and western school of architecture are highly entertaining and informative, and run with military precision.

Reservations are strongly recommended.

If you only have an hour to spare, the Panorama tour will whisk you through Wright’s private office, the Kiva and the Cabaret Theater. The 90-minute Insights tour adds the magnificent Garden Room, the Wrights’ private quarters, the Music Pavilion and the students’ drafting studio.

A good follow-up to those is the 45minute Private Collections tour, which shines a light on selected works from Wright’s personal art collection – fragile Japanese prints, textiles, books and other treasures.

The tour for Wright buffs is the threehour Behind the Scenes. This tour throws in a stroll to a unique desert site and mid-morning tea and snacks in the colorful dining room.

There’s also a Night Lights tour (date night!), a Garden Walk tour and a unique Desert Shelter tour, where you’re ushered

along desert paths to view the clever shelter dorms that students have designed for themselves over the years.

David & Gladys Wright House 5212 E. Exeter Blvd., Phoenix Built in 1951, Wright designed this circular wonder on two acres in Arcadia for his son David and his wife.

The living quarters and entrance were elevated to take advantage of desert breezes and reached by following a spiral ramp up to the second level. Another winding ramp leads to a rooftop deck and a million-dollar view of Camelback Mountain.

These spiral design elements would reappear in the Guggenheim, completed in 1959.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s student Albert Chase McArthur designed the Arizona Biltmore.

The concrete structure nearly met the wrecking ball about five years ago, but it was saved by a preservation campaign.

Plans are to offer tours soon in such a way that the surrounding neighborhood isn’t disturbed.

Until then, you can take a virtual tour at davidwrighthouse.org.

Harold Price, Sr. House 7211 N. Tatum Blvd., Paradise Valley Although mammoth at 5,000 square feet – and on nine acres – this private hilltop home was designed by Wright for the multigenerational Price family to enjoy their winter visits.

Price became one of Wright’s dearest patrons in the early 1950s after commissioning the important 19-story, 221-foot Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

It was an innovative skyscraper that combined luxury apartments with Price’s corporate headquarters and other Oklahoma businesses.

The Price House features a central atrium with a fountain, illuminated by a skylight and surrounded by the living room and kitchen. The wings at either end of the building house the five master bedrooms. Two servants’ bedrooms also had their own baths.

Often called the U-Haul House after the moving company’s founding family, the Shoens, acquired it, Price House is frequently rented for Taliesin West events, corporate functions, fundraisers and wedding receptions. Take a video tour by visiting pricehousefoundation.org.

30 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

2400 E. Missouri Ave., Phoenix Wright made his first trip to Arizona in 1928 to work as a consultant to the

Biltmore's lead architect, Albert Chase McArthur, who worked under him in Chicago from 1907-1909.

Although Wright meant for his “textile block” style of construction to be structural, McArthur used the patterned, geometric exterior tiles – styled after the trunks of palm trees – as more of a decorative element. In any case, the effect was stunning, and the hotel is a jewel and a landmark to this day.

You can get an impressive, selfguided tour just by walking into the lobby and having a Tequila Sunrise at The Wright Bar. The hotel also offers 90-minute tours three times a week.

Call the concierge at 602-955-6600 for information.

In addition to Taliesin West, the Biltmore is where you can channel Wright’s mystical Sprites statues.

ASU Gammage Auditorium 1200 S. Forest Ave., Tempe Nobody will ever get Gammage mixed up with the Guggenheim, but this iconic Arizona State University focal point on the Tempe campus has a colorful origin story that explains its quirky design.

As luck would have it, President Grady Gammage’s request of Wright for a university auditorium in 1957 coincided with plans that had fallen through on an elaborate opera house that would have been built in Baghdad.

Wright supposedly dusted off that blueprint and simplified it for a college budget. Neither Wright nor Gammage lived to see the project's completion in 1964. To inquire about a tour, call 480-965-6912. 

t’s fair to say there’s one rock-solid rule we live by in the North Scottsdale desert: Everything is better poolside.

Having dinner is nice, but dinner poolside is a memorable event. A summer concert is a good time, but listening to live music while floating in a pool with cocktail in hand takes the whole experience to new heights.

Sure, much of the local pool worship stems from necessity. Being outdoors during summer months requires access to water to stay cool. But the area’s lust for wading, dog paddling and frog kicks continues to up the ante on what it takes to sate shrewd Scottsdale swimmers. In other words, not just any old cement pond will do.

Here are just a few of the most extraordinary, over-the-top pools in the Airpark to blow your mind, rock your world and make just about everything that happens around it a little bit wetter – and better.

Ride

FlowRider at Westin Kierland Resort & Spa For those craving a pool experience that’s a bit more extreme, the FlowRider at Westin Kierland offers wave riding right in the heart of the desert. There’s even a full-time “wave master,” Scott Imondi, in charge of teaching people how to ride waves like a pro.

The FlowRider uses two jets to push water into a wave perfect for “flowboarding,” which is similar to both surfing and boogie boarding, depending on whether

you choose to stand or ride. The best part? You don’t need any specific skills to get started. In fact, Imondi says he can help just about anyone catch a great ride.

Guests can book time to ride the FlowRider and the resort also offers surf camps to teach kids board-sport basics. The FlowRider is a great way to get outside and active during the scorching summer months, and during the winter the water is heated for year-round fun.

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Rooftop Pool

For those who crave a serene pool experience, the rooftop pool at the Fairmont Princess Well & Being Spa is the perfect adults-only Zen experience in North Scottsdale. The spa’s interiors are inspired by the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon’s Havasupai Falls, according to Valerie Lee, director of public relations for the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. In addition to the adults-only rooftop pool, the spa boasts a coed grotto with its own waterfall perfect for soothing aching, tight muscles.

You have to buy admission to the spa in order to access the rooftop pool, but the experience of lounging with a spa lunch in your private cabana and swimming on top of the five-star hotel is a decadent experience for both tourists and townies alike.

Dominick’s Steakhouse Poolside Dining

The fun of eating around a backyard pool in a typical Scottsdale home was the inspiration behind Dominick’s Steakhouse’s Poolside Dining. Since the rooftop pool was installed at the Scottsdale Quarter location, its deck has become one of the most coveted table spaces in town.

The pool is housed under a retractable roof with in-ceiling heaters for when weather cools off. When the weather is warm, guests have been known to wade into the pool, but at just about a foot deep, there’s not room for much more.

“Our guests love it,” Dominick’s co-owner Jeff Mastro says. “It’s a very romantic and charming space all year round – the most requested tables at Dominick’s Steakhouse.”

JW Marriott Desert Ridge

When it comes to pools, JW Marriott Desert Ridge takes a clear “more is more” approach. In all, the North Scottsdale resort has five pools for guests to choose from, including a lazy river, a serpentine slide and a wave pool. There’s even a splash pad, where little ones who aren’t yet comfortable in a pool can cool off. But one of the most memorable features has to be the tower and flame shooting out of the middle of one of the resort's larger pools.

“When the resort opened, the elements of nature, fire, water, earth and sky were all carefully incorporated into the design of the property and carried through every aspect including the resort’s stylish and elegant accommodations,” according to Joe Serna, the JW Marriott Desert Ridge director of sales and marketing. “We offer an impressive selection of waterways, water features, lazy rivers, giant slides or wave pools that attract families or couples looking to enjoy spectacular pools amidst a lush desert setting.”  June 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News | 33

SOMETHING TO

ABOUT

What’s in that

Hangar?

Hangars have become the new hotel ballroom for glitzy events. But after the party, it’s back to business for Scottsdale's airplane garages.

Q: I found an ink stain on my favorite tie. Is it safe to try and remove it myself?

A: I would not recommend home spotting for ink stains. Some products can set the stain and some inks are permanent.

Depending on the fabric, color, and pattern of the tie the ink removal success rate will vary. We would be happy to have our expert stain removal technicians assist you.

here’s something about throwing a chic party in a cavernous aircraft hangar, with its stark cement floor and bare rafters, pipes and ducts, that strikes the perfect hipster balance between stripped down and gussied up. Karen May, marketing V.P. for Venues of North Scottsdale, which specializes in staging big events in unusual spaces, says hangars offer a cool alternative to the

traditional hotel ballroom.

“In a hotel, you’ve got crazy gaudy carpet and chandeliers,” she explains. “You’re saddled with the look of the hotel, and you’re stuck trying to cover it up. In the hangar, you’ve got very raw, very open space with a high ceiling. And you can make it look any way that you want. Or you can leave it very industrial and just change the atmosphere with lighting effects.”

Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that event planners have been embracing hangars.

Billionaire Bennett Dorrance’s Hangar One, one of two 30,000-square-foot hangars joined by a center structure topped with a giant aluminum replica of a paper airplane, is typically booked for lavish corporate galas months in advance. May’s company works with owners of around 20 private airplane hangars to host parties for corporate branding or product launch events as well as some high society weddings.

Car collections and corporate events (below) occasionally occupy vacant hangars.

…continued from page 35 Given all the excitement swirling around the Scottsdale Airpark at night, it’s easy to assume hangars are happening hot spots 24/7. Not so, says Chris Read, airport operations manager for the City of Scottsdale. As part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s regulations regarding the use of aircraft hangars, apart from the one-off event (for which organizers must acquire a Temporary Activity Permit from the city), it’s prohibited to use a hangar for much else besides storing an active aircraft or equipment related to aeronautical activity – and the city conducts annual inspections to make sure owners are in compliance.

In recent years, hangar owners around the Glendale Municipal Airport and Falcon Field Airport in Mesa have been fined for using their hangars as essentially “man caves,” stocking them with boats, antique cars, vintage soda machines and jukeboxes.

But in Scottsdale, owners are apparently a bit more cautious.

“We’ve been doing the inspections for approximately 15 years now,” Read says.

“But we typically only find minor violations – such as improper use of extension cords, missing outlet covers and so on.”

Rumors have circulated about a medical marijuana grow house operating out of an Airpark hangar, but alas, that’s not exactly true. A company named CSI Solutions runs a dispensary just down the road from Hangar One in a building that sits adjacent

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

to a hangar, but the owner has signed papers attesting he uses a cultivation facility far removed from the Airpark. Not even “intoxicating liquor” can be offered at an aircraft hangar without a Special Event Permit from the city. The closest place for a pilot to down a drink around the runway is at The Hangar, a sports bar in a strip mall on Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads – albeit one with an aviation theme.

Turns out hangars are much like the prosperous people who party in them: all business through the workweek, with the occasional wild revelry on the weekends.

May says the relative seclusion of the hangar allows jet-setters to let their hair down in private – particularly important for corporate event planners in the wake of the AIG

public relations disaster of 2008, when the insurance giant was caught squandering a half-million dollars of its $85 billion Federal Reserve bailout on a bacchanal at a five-star beach resort.

“Not that these companies are doing anything bad in the hangars,” May stresses.

“But sometimes, especially if your company has had some bad press, you don’t want photos out there of your CEO having a Scotch or smoking a cigar in celebration. In a hotel, you have no privacy. You have foot traffic, you have paparazzi. If you bring a headline entertainer in, everybody in the hotel is trying to get into the ballroom to see who it is.

“In a hangar,” she says, “no one gets in that you don’t want in.” 

A piece of Scottsdale Airpark history returns to honor its legacy

f you looked up in the sky during the afternoon of April 27, you might have seen a piece of Scottsdale Airpark history flying overhead. Two Scottsdale pilots flew an historic Stearman PT-17 biplane into its new home at the Airpark, where it will serve as the centerpiece of the Thunderbird Field II Plaza and Memorial to commemorate the veterans who trained for World War II right

The Stearman PT-17 will become part of a memorial honoring vets who trained at the airport.

here in North Scottsdale beginning 75 years ago this month.

The new memorial will be located at the new Scottsdale Airport Aviation and Business Center, which will be built over the summer.

The Stearman PT-17 is identical to the planes used to train pilots for World War II. The aircraft was purchased by the nonprofit Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial Inc. for display at Scottsdale Airport. Unlike their modern counterparts, the average speed of this military trainer is only about 85 miles

per hour. The plane was flown on its final cross-country trip

by Steve Ziomek, a former U.S. Coast Guard rescue pilot and chairman of the Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial, and Mike Pfleger, a Scottsdale Honor Health emergency room physician and Commemorative Air Force pilot.

Over 5,500 were trained and 15 to 20 percent were female – females flew transports and the males flew fighters and bombers. This project and veterans memorial will honor that.”

Cheers to a booming craft beer scene and more in this mountain town.

By Niki D’Andrea

espite its reputation as Arizona’s most popular winter destination, Flagstaff has much more to offer than snowboarding and skiing at Arizona Snowbowl for a few months out of the year.

In fact, summertime sees the city come alive with a flurry of festivities and artistic activities, from outdoor concerts to nature walks.

But mostly beer. Seriously, there may be more beer here than at every fraternity party around the state combined, and June is like unofficial Beer Month in Flagstaff.

38 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

In addition to the city’s seven craft beer breweries (see sidebar on pg. 39), Flagstaff hosts three big beer festivals in June. And none is a very far drive (or ride) from Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, located five miles south of the city. The first fest up is the Real Ale Festival at Mother Road Brewery on June 9.

Dubbed the “Mother Road Gets Real” festival, the event shines a spotlight on “real ale,” or cask-conditioned ale. This type of beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized and served straight from the cask.

The Hotel Monte Vista is located in the heart of Downtown Flagstaff.

The following day, June 10, two brew festivals duel for the privilege of polluting your liver: Made in the Shade at Pepsi Amphitheater, and the Flagstaff Brews & Blues Festival at Continental Driving Range.

Made in the Shade features beers from more than 50 breweries, plus booths for a smattering of wineries and restaurants. Music comes courtesy of DJs and blues rockers The Unknowns. The Flagstaff Brews & Blues Festival will have reps from 11 breweries pouring on-site, and a massive music lineup that includes bluesy vocal group Sistahs Too,

local rockabilly trinity the Mother Road Trio, Zydeco group Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, and Southern rock stalwarts The North Mississippi All-Stars.

If filling your belly with beer isn’t your thing, Flagstaff has plenty of cool foodie spots to sate your appetite. Let’s start with breakfast, and MartAnne’s Breakfast Palace (facebook.com/MartAnnes). This place is legendary among locals for its hearty, heaping plates of Mexican breakfasts. For years, the wait to get a table at MartAnne’s was even more epic than the food, with lines winding down the street. Thankfully, MartAnne’s moved into a larger space a couple years ago, which has diminished some of the wait time. But only some.

Another popular Flagstaff institution, especially among the college set, is Diablo Burger (diabloburger.com). Every burger is made from local free-range, hormone-free beef, char-broiled and served on a signature English muffin. Popular menu items include "The Cheech" with guacamole, pepper jack cheese and jalapeños, and the unusual "Vitamin B," topped with bacon, beets and blue cheese.

If the servers had mullets and wore MC Hammer-style pants, we’d swear we got caught in a time warp.

the dishes get. No eyebrow-raising “foams” or rainbow gastriques to try and figure out.

Calories can be walked off at Walnut Canyon National Monument (nps.gov/waca/index.htm). Located about 10 miles southeast of downtown Flagstaff, this monument offers all manner of interpretive hikes and has two trails to explore – the Island Trail, which has 25 ancient cliff dwellings along its paths, and the Rim Trail, which includes views of a pit house and pueblo.

In addition to its own interpretive nature programs, The Arboretum at Flagstaff (thearb.org) hosts a summer concert series.

The “Dark Night Sky Concert” on June 16 features a performance

by Grammy Award-nominated Native American flautist R. Carlos Nakai.

Speaking of dark night skies, Lowell Observatory (lowell.edu) has fun events and educational exhibits year-round, including “Meet an Astronomer” nights on Fridays, wherein a professional astronomer shares insights into celestial bodies, as well as science demonstrations and tours of the observatory, which was founded in 1894 and became world famous in 1930, when Clyde Tombaugh discovered the dwarf planet Pluto at the observatory (the “Pluto Discovery Telescope” is still on the grounds).

When it comes to lodging, there are many national chains, hostels and small motels in Flagstaff, but for an authentic experience in the heart of downtown, only one of two historical properties will do: Hotel Monte Vista (hotelmontevista.com) and The Weatherford Hotel (weatherfordhotel.com). “The Monte V,” as it’s known to locals, opened in 1927 and has hosted a horde of famous folks, including Bob Hope, Zane Grey, Bing Crosby, Michael J. Fox, Gary Cooper, Debbie Reynolds, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, John Wayne and Lee Marvin. The hotel knows who stayed in which room, and also notes which rooms are supposedly haunted.

The Weatherford Hotel is even older than the Monte V. Opened in 1900 as the picture of modern luxury, the hotel got a major facelift last year and has been almost completely renovated with an eye toward maintaining its old-world charm – claw foot bathtubs, in-hotel saloon with massive mirrored bar back and wraparound balcony overlooking a bustling square. Both The Weatherford and Hotel Monte Vista host live music multiple nights a week, so guests looking for some peace and quiet might prefer one of the chain hotels.

But in a town as vibrant as Flagstaff, why go off the beaten path? Might as well mingle and have a beer. There’s plenty to go around. 

’ r e h t e ‘Tog Saxophonist Candy Dulfer recalls her time with Prince and the making of her new album

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

G

rammy-nominated Dutch saxophonist Candy Dulfer admits she suffers from low self-esteem, but the former member of Prince’s New Power Generation just looks at her resume to remedy that.

“If Prince wasn’t there, I don’t know if I would play the saxophone,” says Dulfer, who joined Prince’s NPG in 2004 as a permanent member for his Musicology tour and album.

“Working with Prince was such an inspiration, such a stamp of approval," she says.

"Whenever I get insecure about my playing or me being a musician, I think that Prince wanted me. Prince wanted me back and he wants me in his band and to record with him. It was my go-to place when I was telling myself I was going to stop. I’ll never be Coltrane, but I found my sense of purpose and a lot of that comes with him.”

Although Dulfer calls touring her purpose, she stepped into the studio and recorded the album Together, which was released earlier this year.

“It’s the first time that I don’t have any instrumental songs on the album,” Dulfer says via telephone from the Netherlands. “It’s all saxophone and vocals. I’m Europe-based and here it’s a necessity to have vocals. In the United States, I could do an album without vocals, but I have to cater to different continents.”

Candy Dulfer performs two shows at the Musical Instrument Museum on June 11.

(Special to Scottsdale Airpark News)

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

Together features 15 songs, all of which Dulfer deemed necessary.

“It has a lot of tracks on it,” she says. “I couldn’t say goodbye to one, so I put them all on there. I don’t like being in the studio for long periods of time. It’s not where my heart is. I’d rather be done in a short time.

“This time I made sure I was in and out in a couple days because I had to go out again anyway. You feel it with the album.

It’s not an album that’s going to be dated anytime soon. It’s not trendy. They’re very organic songs. I’m really attached to ‘Out of Time,’ which we originally wrote for Prince, and the title track.

I’m glad they turned out the way they turned out.”

Dulfer sang on a fair share of the songs. Other times, she was joined by the likes of Chance Howard, Ivan Peroti and Rico Greene.

“I’m not opposed to singing,” says Dulfer, who returns to the Valley to play two shows at the Musical Instrument Museum on Sunday, June 11. “My voice is OK and I like to sing. I sing what I feel and it’s nice to have a voice in there.

“I tried to pick (Prince's) brain so many times about everything. I’m very lucky. I know that. For me, the glitter and glamour was so uninteresting. I’ve been just so lucky to be present where I could sit next to him, see how he played guitar and what he did with his vocals.”

“Our live shows are a big mix of instrumental and vocals. I don’t think anyone will mind.”

To this day, she still feels inspired by Prince, with whom she worked on Lovesexy, Graffiti Bridge and One Nite Alone... before joining NPG full time.

“I was one of his biggest fans,” she says. “I would play hard to get with him. That way he would keep me longer. He really liked that. He thought I was crazy, but he liked that I was independent. We would butt heads. We were totally opposite characters. I totally respect him.

“I tried to pick his brain so many times about everything.

I’m very lucky. I know that. For me, the glitter and glamour was so uninteresting. I’ve been just so lucky to be present where I could sit next to him, see how he played guitar and what he did with his vocals.”

Her goal, however, was to make him happy.

“If he was really, truly happy, that was such a great feeling,” she says. “It was amazing that I could make a genius happy with my sound, by playing a good solo for him. That was the ultimate compliment.

“I see him as the Mozart or Beethoven of our time. It’s sad that he’s not here.” 

65 hours of flight instruction. Many had never been in an airplane previously.  Flight instruction was given in Stearman PT-17s, a bi-wing, twoseat aircraft introduced in 1934 that had fabric-covered wooden wings and a piston-driven radial engine. With few instruments aboard, flying was done in daytime using visual flight rules (VFR) and Pinnacle Peak was a key navigational landmark for cadets on their first solo flights.  During its two-and-a-half years of operation, 5,500 cadets trained at Thunderbird Field II. Many became decorated combat pilots in World War II and subsequent wars. Once introduced to the great climate and unlimited opportunities in the Scottsdale area, many returned after the war and settled here, creating a population and business boom that significantly changed Scottsdale from a farming and ranching community to a tourism, high-tech, medical and entrepreneurial economy.  True to their Hollywood origins, T2, T1 and Falcon Field served as a movie set for the 1942 filming of Thunder Birds: Soldiers of the Air starring Gene Tierney, Preston Foster and John Sutton.

In 1947, Arizona State College (ASC) began operating a technical trade school in the hangars and classrooms formerly used by the aviation cadets. Many veterans, using their new G.I. Bill benefits, learned skills such as air-conditioning maintenance, car repair and upholstery there. The college also built a rodeo arena where they held intercollegiate rodeo competitions. …continued on page 46

is just one part of what we do...

(Scottsdale Public Library digital collection)

During the 1970s, the Scottsdale Airport control tower was located on the west side of the field adjacent to the terminal building; the east side of the airpark was yet to be developed.

One week after opening, a convention of 200 dentists flew into “SDL” (the code for Scottsdale Airport).  It wasn’t until 1969 that the SDL terminal building opened, and the airport didn’t get an FAA control tower until December 1974 (then located on the west side of the field; a new tower on the east side opened in 1989). Both were dedicated by then U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, a lifelong pilot and aviation booster.  The Adventists asked developer George Tewksbury to come up with a plan for the land surrounding the new airport that was excess to the school’s needs. Sale of the land would become a source of funding to rebuild the campus buildings. Tewksbury, though his Landel Corporation, began pitching businesses to locate in the Thunderbird Industrial Airpark, primarily on the west side of the field and near Scottsdale Road.

Hash Kitchen

Fifty topping options are available at the DIY bloody Mary bar.

Hashing out what’s new with Chef Joey Maggiore

L

ate last year, Scottsdale Airpark News spoke with restaurateur Joey Maggiore about the opening of Hash Kitchen, his new brunch and bloody Mary restaurant at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Thompson Peak Parkway. Now Maggiore is shaking up the menu, so we stopped back in to see what’s new.

“I never want my customers to be bored or have a menu that is unexciting,” he says, explaining that 10 percent of his menu is rotated seasonally. “I change our menu constantly to keep it fresh and chef-

driven with the best ingredients possible. Every time a customer visits the restaurant, there will always be something new to try.”

Each season, Maggiore incorporates new dishes.

This summer, he added cannoli pancakes ($12), shrimp pasta Benedict ($17), shrimp Oscar hash ($18), smoked salmon and fregola salad ($17), and a bacon and rosemary potato frittata ($14) to the mix.

“I never stop thinking creatively, and I will even concept new dishes on my mind when I’m at home and June 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Hash Kitchen makes a bright and sunny breakfast or brunch spot.

I’ll release them as new specials the following day at the restaurants,” he adds.

Maggiore’s favorite newbie is the smoked salmon and fregola salad, which has Tuscan kale, pearl pasta, and cucumbers. His wife, Christina, Hash Kitchen’s operator, loves the shrimp pasta Benedict.

And their three kids?

“Giuliana, Tomaso, and Melina can’t get enough of the cannoli pancakes,” Maggiore says.

There are also a few new craft

cocktails. Maggiore’s bloody Maria brings Patron Anejo tequila and lime juice to the classic recipe and his new prosecco smash is made with La Marca prosecco, muddled plums, thyme, and lemon juice. The new seasonal sangria is made with fresh fruit and vodka. There’s also a new rumchata iced coffee – perfect for hot, summer months – topped with whipped cream.

Maggiore has also partnered with trendy Mama’s Cold Brew to add amaretto, vanilla, salted caramel

and Nutella cold brew coffees to the menu.

“Their organic cold brew product is really exceptional,” Maggiore says. “I am inspired by their story and the purpose behind Mama’s Cold Brew. Similar to Cristina and I, Mama’s Cold Brew is a wife-and-husband duo who started the business. I appreciate other family-owned businesses and the people who own and operate them.”

Brunchgoers can still enjoy Hash Kitchen’s weekend DJ, its signature lemon and ricotta pancakes, and Maggiore’s fresh take on French toast, waffles, hashes, frittatas, scramblers, eggs Benedict, and other brunch classics for which his restaurants are known and loved.

Between food and beverage, the menu now has more than 112 items, including a build-your-own bloody Mary bar with a whopping 50 topping options like fried …continued on page 53

This expansive, ever-evolving menu has attracted a strong customer base, Maggiore says.

“Since the opening, we have received amazing feedback and we have been lucky to have wonderful clientele,” he says. “Hash Kitchen is a great addition to the North Scottsdale neighborhood.”

Duplicating the success of the first Hash Kitchen, located at Gainey Ranch, has been hard work, he notes.

“The hardest thing to accomplish is consistency,” Maggiore explains. “Whether

a customer visits Gainey Village, North Scottsdale and other upcoming locations, they should be receiving the same level of exceptional service, high-quality, perfectly portioned brunch dishes, cocktails, and energetic atmosphere at both locations. I train my staff to provide consistency at both locations to provide the same great customer experience.”

It’s an experience that will be replicated in Arcadia. The Maggiore Group, the hospitality group and family business behind Hash Kitchen and Tomaso’s Italian Restaurant, will soon open a third Hash Kitchen at 44th Street and Indian School Road. A Chandler Hash Kitchen is in the works for 2018.

Hash Kitchen’s North Scottsdale location is at 14838 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard.

on Megargee, the original owner of Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley, was the quintessential cowboy. He busted broncos, produced commercial cowboy art and even held illegal poker games in the main house, connected to the stables by a series of tunnels, should the sheriff’s posse come knocking.

Now the subterranean cowboy escape tunnels house something far more refined – a wine cellar under LON’s restaurant – kept at

54 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

between 55 and 63 degrees at all times, making it the perfect respite for heatsoaked desert dwellers. The space is the only subterranean wine cellar in the Valley and a cool hideaway perfect for incredible food and wine pairings.

The wine cellar was built in 2002 by Fred and Jennifer Unger, who purchased the property in 1992. The Ungers wanted to preserve LON’s historic charm while also bringing the property up to date.

“Since there was no place to build out, and the city wouldn’t allow us to build up, we asked ourselves, ‘What could we build down below?”

Fred Unger says.

It took two steam shovels 30 days to dig just 20 feet through the hard, desert floor, but the result is remarkable. The space doesn’t look like something from this century. The Ungers took great pains to select materials that would help the space blend with its historic surroundings.

“Our desire was to make it special by recreating a look that was 60 years old, so we sought out real steel nails and wood planks from old European carts and wagons to produce a rustic and weathered floor,” Unger adds.

The walls were made from reclaimed Chicago brick. Recycled fir beams from 18thcentury West Coast bridges and antique hacienda and church doors from Mexico w e re a l s o i n t e g r a t e d i n t o t h e d e s i g n .

Now the wine cellar, once only reserved for posh, private parties, is open for regular dining reservations – although only one week in advance since private bookings are still popular.

The backdrop for the wine cellar dining experience at LON’s is spectacular, but it’s the food and wine that truly steal the show.

Executive Chef Jeremy Pacheco’s family has Arizona roots dating back nine generations, and his approach to cuisine is a farm-to-table salute to the state’s abundance. Locally sourced ingredients always take center stage at LON’s.

From starters like the foie gras duo, served with pineapple bread, late harvest vinegar and dried fruit to panna cotta with rosé gelée to sides like blistered shishito peppers for sharing and main dishes like the braised beef short ribs with green chile-goat cheese polenta, roasted cipollini onions, and oyster mushrooms with natural jus, each dish is a dizzying ode to the flavors of the desert Southwest.

The wine selection isn’t too shabby either.

LON’s wine program received Wine Spectator Magazine’s “Award of Excellence” from 1996 through 2014, and a “Best of Award” annually since 2015. The cellar boasts more than 3,000 bottles, and a sommelier can personalize and orchestrate the experience around your personal preferences.

It’s a far cry from the six-shooter, Wild West days of Lon Megargee, but LON’s at Hermosa Inn takes preserving the understated elegance of the area’s history to a new level of refinement.

So this summer, when you’re looking for a cool escape from the desert sun, give LON’s a call and make a reservation for a table in their wine cellar. It’s a one-of-a-kind dining experience you can only get there. And if you’re lucky, you might even get a visit from old Lon himself – his ghost is said to join the underground party from time to time.  For more information, visit hermosainn.com or call 844-423-3981.

What’s Cooking With JAN D’ATRI

Chimichurri sauce with steak

I

’m not sure how it happened or whether or not dads like the idea, but when we think of Father’s Day dinner, our first thoughts go to the grill: grilled meats with big, bold flavors and basically, “big-guy-hungryman” recipes.

So dads, I will not disappoint.

This recipe for a succulent steak of your choice drizzled with fresh chimichurri sauce is made for you and a hungry crowd, not only on your special day, but any

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

time of the year.

Just make up the chimichurri sauce in a blender and let those flavors marry while you fire up the grill or skillet and get that steak started. My favorites for this recipe are a skirt steak, rib eye, porterhouse or New York.

If you’re looking for meats for a big crowd, the flanken style short ribs are fantastic. You’ll find them in your Southwestern markets like Ranch Market and Food City.

A story about chimichurri

While growing in popularity in the U.S., chimichurri sauce has been the sauce/condiment staple in Argentina for centuries. It’s one of the main recipes for the traditional “asado,” a big outdoor cookout akin to the American barbecue. Seasoned steaks, salty slow-cooked meats of beef, pork and lamb plus sausages like cured longaniza (similar to chorizo) are all cooked over a roaring wood fire and plenty of good red wine flows. The Argentinean asado is as much a social event as a delicious feast of grilled meats, and the breakout star has become the chimichurri sauce.

CHIMICHURRI SAUCE (Makes about 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients: 1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley 1/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 3/4 cup olive oil

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a food processor (except vinegar and oil) and pulse until roughly chopped.

Add vinegar and oil and pulse until combined. Thin with a little water, if necessary. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Serve at room temperature.

(Can be made one day ahead.) 

Practicing law in 1980s Scottsdale

I

By Randy Nussbaum

first set up shop in October 1980 in a dark, dank office on First Avenue in Scottsdale. The practice of law in Scottsdale in the 1980s was dramatically different than it is today.

I offered to do overflow work for the other lawyers in the building, for whom I had clerked off and on during law school. Since my rent was approximately $100 to $200 a month and secretarial assistance 37 years ago was relatively inexpensive, it was possible to survive if I could somehow generate $1,000 or $2,000 of legal fees every month. I was fortunate that I had grown up in Scottsdale and enough people realized I was starting my own office so that work started coming in drips and drabs. My very first client is somebody I occasionally represent to this day.

I don’t remember how I maintained my trust account, from whom and at what expense I procured malpractice insurance, and how I did my books. I am assuming one of the assistants helped me, but the practice of law over 35 years ago in a town like Scottsdale was far more casual and relaxed.

My assistant typed my letters and pleadings on an IBM Selectric. Within a year or two of becoming licensed, I traded fees for primitive dictating equipment from one of the other lawyers, but I don’t know if I ever used it. Instead, all written material was prepared by hand, and in my case, in caps, since no one could read my longhand. Without question, the time and energy involved in preparing a pleading discouraged doing so, and the result was lawyers trying to find ways to avoid it. This prompted attorneys to pick up the phone and talk to each other or, even more shocking, sit down and work matters out over lunch. It was very commonplace for lawyers, especially in a suburb like Scottsdale, to simply meet their opposition over drinks at places like the Grape Vine.

Because there were so few lawyers in Scottsdale and everyone knew each other, it was rarely necessary to reduce any agreements or understandings in writing except for formal settlements. I don’t recall for my first 10 years of practice ever having

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

to confirm an extension in writing, though that was true of any agreement you may have reached in person or by phone. To this day, I have never forgiven a Phoenix lawyer who, upon breaching our oral understanding, told me I “should have gotten it in writing.”

When I told my peers at the time what had happened, no one criticized me for not confirming the understanding in writing, but they were universally aghast at what the other lawyer had done.

The advent of different technological advancements was always earth-shattering.

In the mid-1980s, one of the more technologically advanced lawyers in my office purchased a Xerox word-processor for the price of a new car. I remember watching in marvel as the machine kicked out pleadings at the rate of a page a minute. I remember thinking that I was witnessing the pinnacle of technological advancement in a law office.

In the ‘80s, the Scottsdale Justice Court was overseen by the legendary Nancy Conner. Nancy was not a lawyer, but she utilized common sense and logic in dispensing her opinions. She dispensed frontier justice in a fair manner, though if she thought a party was lying or being disrespectful, she would openly reprimand that person in court. To some extent, I miss those days.

In the late '80s, a friend of mine approached my firm about purchasing a cutting-edge device he was selling called a “fax machine.” When he told us the newest version would cost $1,200, my partners laughed and summarily turned it down. I bought it on terms for a little over $100 a month and agreed to sell my partners fax transmittals at 50 cents a page for incoming transmissions. The firm billed out the faxes at the then-customary rate of $1 a page and after I earned back the entire purchase price in 90 days, I sold the fax machine to the firm for half of its original purchase price.

During the '80s, the Scottsdale Bar had few female members. I don’t recall ever threatening a fellow lawyer with Rule 11 sanctions or the reverse, and most attorneys

were general practitioners. If you handled an extensive amount of Superior Court work, you knew most of the judges by name and most arguments were held in their chambers without court reporters. Judges were never hesitant to state their views on the strength of your case throughout the proceedings. I don’t think I was ever turned down for an extension request and if you happened to miss a deadline, the other side would look the other way unless there was an absolute statute of limitations issue, and when you shook hands with opposing counsel, nothing further was needed.

When you went home at night, you didn’t worry about emails and texts; you could actually relax while driving and clouds were something you looked at when taking a leisurely break during the course of a hectic day. You didn’t worry so much about billing hours; you focused on the results, and if a client couldn’t pay a bill with cash, taking a side of beef was an acceptable substitution.

Without question, practicing in 2017 has a variety of advantages, but practitioners like me from three decades ago miss knowing every Scottsdale lawyer by name, a shared a camaraderie based on not having to practice like the staid Phoenix attorneys. We did not mind being pulled over by a police officer, who may have been driving a DeLorean, since we probably knew the officer anyway.  Randy Nussbaum is a founding shareholder of Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner, P.C.

Because I work exclusively for commercial tenants and buyers my clients get three things unavailable elsewhere: INFORMATION: I provide my clients with complete information

about every available space and property, including asking prices, and the details of similar transactions I have negotiated. Knowing what others paid and the concessions extracted is invaluable negotiating currency and serves to level the playing field.

INTELLIGENCE: Having over 2,700 commercial transactions

under my belt gives me the insight to know which property owners are likely to have the greatest urgency to make below market deals. I know the questions to ask (and which ones not to answer), and how to compose proposals that protect tenants and buyers.

INFLUENCE: I’m well known in the industry for creating an

environment where property owners are compelled to compete in order to attract and retain quality tenants. In lease and purchase transactions my clients consistently receive substantial discounts.

What’s the Cost? Zip. Zero. Nada. Nothing.

That’s because most real estate transactions include a commission which is split between the agents that represent each “side” of the transaction. Make certain that you receive full value from your side of the commission by selecting a broker with no inherent conflicts of interest, is experienced in solving your real estate problems, and who has a fiduciary duty to protect your interests above all others.

Return on Investment Why Experience Scottsdale is a smart investment for the city

A

By Rachel Sacco, President & CEO, Experience Scottsdale

ccording to CNBC, the average stock investor had a 5 percent return in 2016. If I told you I could get you a 67 percent return on your investment, would you be interested?

Well, look no further than Experience Scottsdale. We may not be able to help your individual portfolio, but when the City of Scottsdale invests in Experience Scottsdale, everything from local businesses and public services to citizens win.

How does that work? As the saying goes, you have to spend money to make money.

When visitors stay in our hotels and resorts, they pay a 5 percent bed tax. Those dollars, which totaled $18.2 million in 2016, are invested into the city’s general fund and tourism-related capital projects, special events, research and marketing.

Experience Scottsdale receives half of the city’s annual bed-tax funds to promote Scottsdale as a world-class vacation and meeting destination in a highly competitive global marketplace.

We splash high-impact marketing campaigns in our top visitor markets of New York, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco and Canada. We attract conventions and meetings to our hotels and resorts; we work with media to garner positive publicity; and we educate travel agents and tour operators on selling Scottsdale to their clients.

We recently commissioned Longwoods International and Tourism Economics to analyze Experience Scottsdale’s return on investment for the city. The study found every dollar invested in Experience Scottsdale directly generates $67 in visitor

spending and $3 in local tax revenue.

Longwoods and Tourism Economics only evaluated two of our initiatives for the study: our “Warm Weather” marketing campaign, which appeared in key U.S. and Canadian cities from January through March 2016; and our convention sales efforts from the 2015-16 fiscal year.

During the fiscal year, Experience Scottsdale invested $3.4 million into our “Warm Weather” campaign and our sales efforts to drive meetings business. The combination generated 857,297 incremental trips to Scottsdale and supported 3,113 jobs in our community.

Attracting more visitors to the area means more money spent on local attractions, hotels, retail and restaurants. Those additional trips to Scottsdale resulted in a June 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News|

direct economic impact of $229.4 million.

Experience Scottsdale’s tourism promotions also directly generated $29.3 million in state and local tax revenue. Such revenue supported essential public services like police, firefighters, public schools, transportation and more. Without such travel-generated revenues, each Scottsdale household would have to pay an additional $286 in state and local taxes to maintain the same level of services we currently enjoy.

From the study, we also learned our reach extends beyond influencing people to

62 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

visit Scottsdale. Longwoods determined Experience Scottsdale contributes to a positive overall impression of the area. Consumers who recalled Experience Scottsdale’s advertising were not only more likely to visit, but also more likely to view Scottsdale as a good place to live, work, start a business, attend college, purchase a vacation home and retire.

It has been our privilege to promote Scottsdale tourism for 30 years. We’re thrilled our efforts are truly moving the needle to the benefit of our community,

and we hope you too find value in the city’s investment.

Subleasing and Assignments: Disposing of unneeded space

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

T

enants have a “bundle of rights” to the leased premises. The most important are the rights to exclusively utilize the space (a certain size) for an intended use, during a specific period of time (the lease term) and for a predetermined amount of money (the rent schedule).

When the space needs of a business get smaller, tenants find themselves with a contractual obligation to pay rent on space they no longer require. When this occurs, they may wish to consider one of these courses of action: Sublease or assign all, or a portion, of the space to others.

In a sublease or assignment, the tenant becomes the “Sublessor” or “Assignor,” respectively, and typically remains liable for the rental amounts due in the event the “Sublessee” or “Assignee” defaults on their obligations.

As part of the original lease agreement negotiations, make certain the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold its consent to sublease all, or part, of the space to others or assign one’s leasehold interest in the lease to another party. This is especially important if one contemplates selling the business or professional practice. In that regard, specify that any options to extend are not personal to the tenant, that they can also be assigned to a qualified buyer of the business and that the landlord is not entitled to receive a portion of the sale proceeds.

Be mindful that the landlord generally has the right to reasonably withhold his or her consent to certain replacement tenants or subtenants and the right to review and/or modify any sublease/assignment agreement. To clarify, if a subtenant or replacement tenant is not of a character consistent with the original tenant or, in the opinion of the landlord, is not compatible with the nature of the building or existing businesses, then the landlord can reasonably block the sublease or assignment. This is especially true in retail centers where other tenants may have the exclusive right to perform specific uses. Other reasons landlords may deny a sublease/assignment request include a business that is likely to overload the parking areas or is perceived to create disruptive noise or smells.

Many leases provide that the landlord may charge a fee to review the subtenant’s/assignee’s application. Additionally, the lease may contain a provision allowing the landlord to increase the rental rate to the “market” rate being charged for similar space within the building or in the general area.

A business considering subleasing or assigning their space should contact the landlord early on to request the space be considered “available” to be shown and marketed to others. I suggest doing this in writing and following up over the telephone.

“Buying out” of the remaining lease obligation Landlords are generally under no obligation to terminate a lease prior to the expiration date, unless an early termination -- or buyout -- provision was negotiated as part of the lease agreement. In a buyout, the tenant and landlord agree to the notice period (i.e., the number of days) the tenant must give of their intent to vacate and the amount

of money to be paid in exchange for the termination of the lease. The amount of this “early termination penalty” can vary from only several months’ rent, plus the value of the landlord’s unamortized out-of-pocket expenses and other incentives (such as tenant improvement costs, free rent and leasing commissions) to 100 percent of the amount due for the remaining lease obligation, discounted to its “present value.”

A common buyout scenario contemplates the possible death or disability of the principal(s) of a professional practice which effectively closes the practice.

Businesses (including professional practices of every description) that sought competent professional advice prior to signing the lease probably planned an “exit” strategy and negotiated the terms and amount of any “early termination penalty” or “buyout” as a provision of the lease. Those that represented themselves or utilized inexperienced or “dual” (i.e., one agent that represents both parties in the same transaction) real estate agents most likely never thought to plan for this eventuality and are faced with paying the steep price of ignorance.  Stephen A. Cross, CCIM, owns CROSS Commercial Realty Advisors and is a licensed real estate broker. Mr. Cross advocates exclusively for tenants and buyers and, since 1984, has advised over 2,700 business owners, attorneys, physicians, facility executives, investors and corporate decision-makers on ways to lease and purchase property at the lowest cost and most favorable terms.

JUNE Business Horoscopes

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

JUNE’S ADVICE FROM WEISS:

“Trust in yourself takes you past fear. It is the miracle that makes for success.”

ARIES 3/21-4/20: If last month was not busy enough, then June makes up for the slack. There is a sudden shift in your social/ work agenda, so overflowing with choices and demands that require decisions by the full moon on the 9th. You can confidently move forward on a loan, contract, agreement, proposal or some matters you had postponed. Circle the week of the 12th until the end of the month when others seem to agree. June’s mantra is “communicating.”

TAURUS 4/21-5/20: The month ahead is packed with ideas for increasing your earnings. If thinking of taking a new approach to marketing yourself or an idea, this is the time to do some research. The first half of the month may be financially hectic. The more aware you are, the better equipped you’ll be to run with the opportunities that come your way mid-month. Full moon early in the month (9th) highlights a partnership and Venus in your sign makes you happy.

GEMINI 5/21-6/21: You have plenty to do and see this month. Travel is indicated later in the month. Elements of a personal nature the next few weeks bring a variety of activity including a family/home, real estate offer or sale. Home matters have a financial twist starting around the 21st and could continue to the end of June. As the month unfolds, a recovery occurs. June is not the time to isolate from associates.

CANCER 6/22-7/22: Best to stay close to your base of operation, and work alone the first week. Expect to spend on events and celebrations. June seems to take on a lighter tone and offers a variety of events. Expect to be out and about more, making cold calls, attending meetings, and setting your intentions on moving forward (between the full moon on the 9th and the new moon on the 24th). A more productive cycle begins on the 21st.

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News June 2017

LEO 7/23-8/22: This month’s lineup places focus squarely upon your career, with more of your share of events with your professional contacts, meetings, promotions and all that mental and social chatter. Connecting and communicating is essential for success.

You may have to wait until next month to have some off time for yourself. Planets the first half the month keep you moving; it will be wise to keep that day planner handy.

A frenzy of family-oriented issues will be highlighted the second half of June.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22: You can get a lot done by the first week, despite some interferences. Circle the full moon on the 9th as a target date. All areas of communicating are open this Gemini-dominated cycle (1st-20th). This month can be fast-paced socially speaking, and not necessarily to your liking. The more people you network with, the better your plans will be. You may have some time for family affairs or perhaps a mini-vacation. Expect several social commitments (graduations, work-related events, etc.).

LIBRA 9/23-10/22: June usually proves to be one of your more successful months.

That’s because your strong logical sense of charisma is being supported by Jupiter (your lucky planet) going direct in full force by the 10th. Don’t ignore any opportunities to mingle, get back in touch, and say “yes” to any partnership-related offers. Interacting with others is the main requirement for success this month. Your demeanor is spotlighted; watch what you say and how you say it.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21: The young people are not the only ones who need relationships; you do too to thrive, particularly in business matters, this month. The art of communication, June’s main accents (1st–20th), is an essential part of your success this month (read again what I said at the beginning of this month’s forecast about trust. Work on this area of your life in June.) Finances show an increase by the end

of the month, as do interest rates, additional expenses and other add-ons.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21: Your love of freedom may be headed south for a bit this month; focusing more on others has you committed to work in cooperation. This professional togetherness works well. You have some renewable resources coming your way (between the 10th and the 24th).

It’s been a difficult past few months, but matters show marked improvement as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer the week of the 21st. Keep an eye on real estate, construction, transportation, and the changes in our country’s economy.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19: Take a cue from June’s lighter attitude and local work landscape to look at some of your more restrictive or serious habits or practices that need to be dropped to start something new. You have a tendency to worry, sometimes needlessly.

Those neurons in your brain can go dormant.

Lighten up June’s variety of things to do, places to go and people to meet. Expect your day-to-day schedule and assignments to vary.

Those of you in sales, marketing and social media will be pleasantly challenged!

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/19: Jupiter turns direct this month, allowing the week ahead to bring opportunities or agreements your way.

Arrange important meetings or presentations around the 13th or 14th. Personal connections with groups should be followed through on before the 16th. Your sign has a talent for connecting and knowing the right people in the right places – utilize it! Major change in your work area arrives with the new moon (24th).

PISCES 2/20-3/20: Pay attention to any compliments you may receive or info of a positive nature you may hear this month.

June’s full moon (the 9th) may shine on you.

You can start to make plans (but you may meet with challenges, which requires making adjustments, the 10th–17th). Then get ready for a more favorable cycle to start anew.

Underline the 21st! 
