Built by flight trainers, Airpark remains a hub for continuing education
T
he lobby of Maricopa Corporate College looks nothing like a traditional university admissions office. Compact as a struggling chiropractor’s waiting room, it faces a front desk papered not with curriculum booklets but with a small pile of fliers listing some of the college’s more than 300 “instructorled online courses,” each offered 24 hours a day, with new sessions

In the new model of competency-based learning offered at Maricopa Corporate College branded as MCOR to differentiate it from that other MCC, its parent, (Maricopa Community Colleges), courses are designed around what the student wants to gain proficiency in, with certifications rewarded based on tangible evidence of learning, not on how many credit hours are spent sitting in classrooms. “What our professional personal education classes are designed to do is give those in the workforce some quick access to training opportunities that augment what we offer on the campuses of the community colleges,” says Susie Pulido, MCOR’s vice president of business development. “We don’t have semesters. We meet with an individual or company and, whatever their needs are, we put
a training in place and implement and deliver.” Daniel Corr, vice president of academic services at Scottsdale Community College, says the fast-tracking skill-seeker is the new type of student community colleges are wooing. “We have a number of different course offerings for folks who want to get in, tally up the credits they’ve accumulated over the years and get going on a quick program of study that will result in a credential and therefore a job,” he says. “They don’t want a bunch of different options. They want that fast track. And that’s increasingly what we’re here for.” In constantly updating fields like IT or medical technology, where what you’ve learned in the past 12 weeks is all that really matters on the job, a fast-paced immersive “boot camp,” where students cram a lot of learning into a short period, can sometimes put an applicant in better standing than someone with a 10-year-old degree in computer science. In a recent story in the Silicon Valley Business Journal, Andrew

Ng, former Stanford computer science professor turned founder of Coursera, the nation’s leading supplier of massive open online courses (MOOCs), put it this way: “The model where you go to school for four years then coast for the next 40 years on what you learned in college doesn’t make sense anymore.” University of Phoenix, which offers continuing education certificate programs and individual professional development courses through its School of Business, is seeing its share of knowledge crammers, too. “Today professionals are staying in the workforce longer and technology is changing the dynamics in many fields,” says Ruth Veloria, the school’s executive dean. But Veloria cautions high school graduates not to assume a fast certificate program can serve as a replacement for a bachelor’s or master’s degree. “Developer boot camps can be a great way to get an entry level coder job faster or to grow or obtain specific skills, but the leaders of the future in IT are still likely to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree,” she says. “Today’s employment environment demands professionals keep their skills current and competitive, but full degree programs continue to lay strong foundations and set the stage for long-term career growth.” …continues on page 22

Business-driven
MCOR’s IT Web Developer Boot Camp is not one of its $125 all-online courses. The on-campus class, held from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday for 12 intense weeks, costs $3,975. But it comes with a guaranteed job interCorr said students want to get going on a quick program, receive credentials and land a job.
view, and a stamp of approval from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), a rewrite of the 17-yearold Workforce Investment Act (WIA) that just went into effect this July 1 and provides new pathways to credentials needed for employment. Simply put, the boot camp is an intense 360-hour training for jobs that already exist: It’s a course put together by the school for employers looking for people with the precise skill sets taught in the class. Because those people are hard to find, it makes sense for
companies to partner with a continuing education provider who can, in effect, make new ones. In a recent story on tech boot camps, NPR described this trending educational model as “12 Weeks to a SixFigure Job.” “The real customer now is the employer,” explains MCOR president Dr. Eugene “Gene” Giovannini. “The dynamics of how an education provider works have been skewed. The way the old model worked is a potential student walked through the door and said what they wanted to become. ‘I want to become a pharmacy technician.’ ‘OK, here’s the courses you need to take for that degree.’ The dynamics of it now is, the employer is dictating where the training is going to go. The real customer is no longer the student, it’s the employer. You’ve got to have the employer and the job up front. And then whoever is walking through the door, that’s who you counsel and provide guidance to in regard to getting that job.” MCOR’s innovative focus on tailoring education to fit open positions at real world companies has attracted an impressive list of first-year clients, including Marriott, Coca-Cola, Walgreens and Amazon, and landed it on the White House’s short list of education providers honored at April’s White House Upskilling Summit, led by Vice President Joe Biden. “There were about 120 folks there but there were only 10 education providers invited,” says Giovannini. “Most in attendance were from business and labor.” During his speech, Biden chided corporations who aren’t partnering with continuing education providers to create courses that help entry-level and midcareer employees gain the skills they need to move up the ladder. “You guys understand this,” he said to the honorees. “(But) I’m a little surprised why more businesses haven’t caught on to what you guys are doing. I really mean it, just from a bottom line perspective.” Biden added, “As you know, training increases worker’s productivity. It leads to less turnover, which means employers don’t have to spend more money down the road to hire new workers. And it increases innovation and profitability by unleashing the talent of your own employees.”
Freedom to learn in new ways
At the summit, Biden also reinforced President Barack Obama’s Upskill
24 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
Initiative, launched during his State of the Union address last January. The initiative calls on businesses to “help workers of all ages earn a shot at better, high-paying jobs, even if they don’t have higher education,” by empowering working adults with the education and training they need to “upskill,” or develop the additional skills needed to upgrade their career and earn higher wages. Brianna Bendotti, vice president of workforce solutions at Maricopa Corporate College, also serves on the board for JAG, or Jobs for America’s Graduates, a state-based national nonprofit organization which has helped nearly three-quarters of a million young people who are most at risk for dropping out stay in school and secure entry-level jobs. She says this population, in particular, finds the model offered at continuing education schools preferable to traditional college. “Competency-based learning is appealing to learners of all ages, but holds special appeal with young people as CBL is project-based, interactive, engaging and collaborative—in other words, it’s diametrically opposed to a boring, one-dimensional ‘park and bark’ lecture,” she says. “We know that learning is not one size-fits all. CBL is an open-minded approach that emphasizes the learning and evidence of acquired skills, providing diverse opportunities for an individual to acquire the knowledge—self-paced, experiential, videos, gaming, etcetera. For many young learners, this represents freedom to learn in unique ways and the success can breed confidence.” Bendotti says MCOR has corporate partners all over the Valley, but considers the Airpark a terrific location for connecting with diverse businesses and “shortening the feedback loop” with employers to ensure MCOR’s industrydriven, skill-based courses are meeting their “pre-hire needs.” “Progressive higher education institutions recognize the need to adapt and respond to employer demand,” says Bendotti. “The overwhelming reason people pursue post-secondary education is to achieve professional goals. More colleges are realizing that we owe it to our students to create programs that position them as relevant contributors in whichever field they pursue.”

To Add Value to Your Home, Consider These Improvements By Rod Dennis
W
hether you’ve just moved into your dream home or have been living there a while, there are some home improvement projects that will add value when it’s time to sell—and others that won’t pay off. Why should you even be concerned about improvements that are going to make your home more attractive to buyers when you’re still unpacking? Because even though you may love your new place, consider that American homeowners sell and move, on average, every five to seven years, according to the website www.homebuying.about.com. So as the size of your family grows and you need more space or if you want to downsize
because your children have left the nest, the odds are you’ll be on the move again in the not-too-distant future. Many people consider the kitchen to be the home’s focal point. It’s the room where the family eats their meals and often gathers for conversation. Because of this, kitchen updates are an excellent investment. According to Home and Garden Television, or HGTV, you can expect to recoup from 60 percent to 120 percent of your outlay on a kitchen remodel, as long as you don’t go overboard. By that they mean you should never make your kitchen fancier than the rest of the house, or the neighborhood. Another good way to add value is

by replacing older appliances with new, modern, energy-efficient stoves, refrigerators and washing machines and dryers. ENERGY STAR-rated appliances are better for the environment, and they also help you save money because they use less energy. Potential buyers are always looking for ways to reduce their energy costs and new appliances could tip the deal in your favor. The best time to buy major appliances is in September and October, according to the website www.moneycrashers.com. This is when manufacturers introduce their latest models, which means you can probably get a good deal on the previous year’s models. In the case of refrigerators,

therealdeal May is the best time to get a discount on last year’s model. Adding a bathroom can also be another great investment in your home. HGTV estimates that you can recoup 80 percent to 130 percent of the amount you spend on this improvement. When it comes to finding room in your house for an extra bathroom, take a look at any extra rooms or underutilized spaces. Consider other spaces, such as closets or areas under the stairs, too. If you want a half-bath you need at least 18 square feet. If you want a full bath, including a standup shower, you’ll need at least 30 square feet. Like any project, the cost of adding a bathroom depends largely on the types of additions and accessories you want to use, and the cost of each of these items. You can save money by frequently checking Lowe’s and Home Depot; they often drastically reduce prices on sinks and toilets that have been floor models. The he top-ranked home improvement might surprise you. It’s a new front door, which on average adds nearly 100 percent of the amount you spend to the value to your home, according to Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report for 2014. Other improvements that will pay off when you go to sell are new paint, adding energy-efficient windows, better insulation and a deck. Improvements that are unlikely to enable you to recoup your investment include in-ground swimming pools, garage additions and remodeling your home office. Of course, the changes you make to your home are a personal preference. If you and the family are going to enjoy years of fun splashing around in your pool and you’re not concerned about recouping the investment, go ahead and put it in. You only go around once.

ing space on site—60 percent of which is single story (20.4 million square feet of roofing), two-story buildings add another 3.5 million, and three-story facilities contribute another 2.3 million. That’s a total of 26.2 million square feet of roof space that covers all the Airpark buildings.” And that’s as things stand today, according to figures in the May issue of Scottsdale Airpark News that cited a current 34 million acres of airpark on 3,100 acres with nearly 3,000 companies employing 54,000 workers. Looking forward to 2030, author Jim Keeley predicts 4,000 companies with 75,000 employees and an expanded Airpark of 50 million square feet, ergo, lots more rooftop. If current building managers did decide to take on a new top hat in the form of cool roofing being promoted by the City of Scottsdale, that new coating in the form of foam, tile, metal or asphalt shingles could cool roofs, reduce energy use, ambient air temperature, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. “Flat roof products are not just ‘paint on a roof.’” says George Daisey, a research scientist with Dow Chemical, who notes that paint is 2-3 mil thick while roof coating via roller, brush or spray application runs plus or minus 20 mil.
Pro-Tech Products
“The benefits of cool roof technology are compelling. Not only do the roof coatings reflect the sun’s rays and reduce heat transfer, they also extend a roof’s service life.” The Federal Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy advises: “In summertime, we wear light-colored clothes that keep us cooler because light colors reflect, rather than absorb, the heat of the sun. Products made of materials called high solar reflectance are like a white T-shirt for roofs, helping keep the internal temperature of a building lower.” The Department of Energy’s Energy Saver website reports that nearly any type of building can benefit from a cool roof designed to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat than standard roofs. Standard or dark roofs have been known to reach 150 degrees or more in the summer sun while cool roofs under the same condition stay more than 50 degrees cooler, benefiting the building and its occupants through improvement of comfort climate and reduction of energy bills. “Building owners and contractors have been using cool roofing products for more than 20 years on industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, installed both

on flat or gently-sloping roofs as well as on steep—sloped roofing,” says the Environmental Protection Agency.
Cool on delivery
Based on EPA and Department of Energy ENERGY STAR data, shipments of cool roof products have grown to represent more than 25 percent of manufacturers’ commercial roof products (and about 10 percent of residential roofing materials). According to a City of Scottsdale Public Information Office news release that touts the efficacy of cool roofing, “Over 40 percent of all electricity consumed in Valley homes is used for air conditioning. Black surfaces in the sun can become up to 90 degrees hotter than the most reflective of white surfaces.” Estimates are that the U.S. average annual energy cost savings with a cool roof runs about 3.8 percent while Western states benefit even further, 6.1 percent in Nevada, and 7.5 percent in California. In Arizona, that projected annual energy cost savings runs about 11 cents per square foot when weathered conventional gray roofs are replaced with a cool white roof.

In addition to the aforementioned benefits of cool roofing applications, one local manufacturer (Pro-Tech Products Inc. of Scottsdale) offers “Industry-leading Technology that Works For You” and adds its water-tight product “helps protect commercial buildings against damaging winds and driving rains associated with Southwestern monsoons.” “As roofs stale and age, you can restore them,” according to Paul Johnson, vice president of business development at ProTech, makers of a coating for existing roofs that offers a tested and Cool Roof/Energy Star-approved 86 percent reflectivity rate.

require a building permit.” He does clarify that, “As of January 2013, all new low-slope commercial roofing on new buildings are required to have a cool roof coating that meets solar reflectance and thermal emittance requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code, adopted by the City in 2012.” One of the Airpark inhabitants already participating in the cool roof initiative is Denali National Trust LLC, a firm that rehabs and renovates commercial real estate in the metro area. “We have two buildings on East Acoma with 80,000 square feet that we re-roofed to seal out water and keep things cool,” said John Nobile, general manager. “Today’s elastomeric products have so many benefits, the move made sense. Not only was it the right thing to do, it was the smart thing to do.” In what may portend to be a harbinger of things to come, the Los Angeles City Council

unanimously voted to enact an update to its Municipal Building Code making it the first major city to require that all new and refurbished residences have a cool roof. A group called Climate Resolve has been advocating for that change under its “Hot City, Cool Roofs” endeavor that strives to reduce rising temperatures.
UCLA research suggests that by midcentury, temperatures in the Los Angeles basin will increase by 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 degrees. “This is a great step forward to meet energy efficiency and climate goals, keeping Angelinos’ energy costs low and significantly reducing Greenhouse Gas emis-
sions,” says Jonathan Parfrey, Climate Resolve executive director. “Cool roofs are a win-win proposition.” Adds Pro-Tech’s Paul Johnson: “In Arizona, the Cool Roof initiative is a grassroots effort—but we need to get going on this one because we’re years behind the curve.”

An Extraordinary Find Tom’s Thumb Market redefines the gas station with high-octane fare By Michele Sonkin
G
as stations and good food are usually mutually exclusive, yet Michael Lawson, general manager of Tom’s Thumb Fresh Market, recommends visiting his filling station/car wash for a date night. “Nothing shows your significant other how much you love him/her like going to dinner at a gas station,” he says with a grin. Tom’s Thumb is more than a gas station and car wash. It’s the only place in town where drivers can fill their car with fuel while filling their belly with gourmet fare. The menu can best be described as American classics with a twist. Barbecue is the house specialty, with all meats smoked in-house daily. Customer favorites, accord-
34 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
ing to Lawson, are the pulled pork sandwich ($9), award-winning ribs (starting at $16), three little pigs ($9.50), which is its take on sliders, and the signature Tom’s brisket stack (starting at $9), which is a brisket sandwich topped with a fried egg. Dessert options ($4.25 each) are equally creative. The glass display case at the market entrance is peppered with artistically presented confections such as Oreo cheesecake and strawberry/banana cream puffs. All desserts, with the exception of the doughnuts, are made in-house.
Inspired dining
The locally owned, family-operated eatery has been serving its full menu of freshly made breakfast, lunch and dinner
items since 2012. The idea is the brainchild of owner James “Kipp” Lassetter, who had a vision of taking an ordinary activity, such as a car wash, and making it extraordinary. Lassetter’s vision shines through in every part of the business. Everything from the crisply uniformed employees to the fresh flowers on each table shows painstaking attention to detail. An oversized crystal chandelier hangs over the main dining area. Most locals now know about the hidden treasure located just beyond the gas pumps, but, Lawson admits, it was a challenge to get people to eat at a gas station. He adds that traffic increased thanks to his simple business model: “If the food is
great and the customer service is great, the customers will follow.” Tom’s Thumb’s publicity efforts were bolstered when the Guy Fieri-hosted Food Network show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” stopped by to film a segment in December. The episode aired in February. “Guy and the production crew were a pleasure to deal with. The filming created excitement in the community, attracting many new faces,” Lawson says. In fact, so many new customers flocked there the day after the episode aired that the parking lot filled and the kitchen ran out of food several times. Since then, food bloggers and tourists from all over the world have stopped in to try the showcased menu items. Patrons do not need to dine at Tom’s Thumb to have an extraordinary experience, as it’s a full-service car wash.
Customers can play checkers, read a magazine or just relax on a comfortable chair or sofa while waiting. There is also an eclectic retail area where items from fine wine to kitschy artwork are sold. Lawson calls it, “One-stop, old-school service with a progressive flair.” Lawson says that Tom’s Thumb Fresh Market has never been busier and that they are actively working on opening another location. “It will be in close proximity. This unique concept has been well-received and we believe we can replicate it at a second location.” Tom’s Thumb Fresh Market 9393 E. Bell Rd.

I
n a previous column I talked about an ongoing trend in financial services; that of the denigration of annuities as a product line by brokerage firms in competition with the product. One firm even runs national ads with the slogan, “Why I Hate Annuities.” Our firm has done decades of due diligence on every product and strategy that we offer our older clientele. I personally own many of the solutions that we recommend to our clients, and have done as well as they have in such products, including four of my own fixed index annuities (FIAs). They are but one tool in our toolbox. They solve a specific need very effectively, and they have steadily become the most popular product/strategy we offer, growing to over $240 million of FIA dollars now on our books. A few months ago I recounted receiving an email from one of our FIA clients, an avid market-watcher/investor, a retired engineer and a Ph.D. who spent many months doing his “homework” on our recommendations before becoming a client nearly seven years ago. David was writing to tell me that he had just calculated the internal rate of return on his FIAs, and was surprised to discover that it was 9.1 percent annually thus far. Considering that the 85-year history of the S&P 500 is 8.3 percent, David’s yield is truly remarkable. Most of our longstanding FIA clients are averaging between 6 percent and 8 percent annually, with most netting around 6.8 percent. These folks are getting 82 percent of the upside with none of the down, to which one equally elated client said, “Show me a marriage like that!” Recently, another client named Tim attended a class we teach on preparing for a successful retirement. Tim just retired early from a top management position at a local defense contractor, and had just met with the representatives of the investment firm
financialfundamentals that handles that employer’s 401(k). After class, I asked Tim to share with the other attendees what he had just told me days earlier. During his meeting with the brokerage firm’s reps, he told them he would be rolling the remainder of his sizable 401(k) into an index annuity he had purchased several years earlier through our firm—one that paid a 10 percent bonus on additional funds, and to which we had added an income rider guaranteeing an 8 percent annual increase of his income account for up to 10 years or until he decides to begin receiving payments. To Tim’s amazement, these two representatives not only denigrated the strategy, they questioned Tim’s judgment, the insurance company’s financial strength and even my integrity as his adviser, although these men had never met me. Tim was quite astounded by such a biased, unprofessional display. Clearly these men were in defense mode lest word got out that a competitor from a parallel industry may have better to offer. Consumers of financial products
should ask themselves a basic question. Of the 309 million people living in the United States, more than 119 million benefit in some way from annuities or pension funds, their functional equivalent. These annuities are offered through major insurance companies, an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people, and is heavily regulated by the states which employ additional thousands to do so. Question: How plausible is it that all of these people are selling, servicing or regulating “bad,” harmful products—and thriving in business while doing so? Isn’t the routine fleecing of one’s clients an unsustainable business model? In 2010, six Ph.D.s at the Wharton School of Business conducted a two-year study of fixed index annuities, comparing them to four other asset classes over the prior 14 years. In an interview after the study concluded, the lead author, Dr. David Babbel, stated that the FIA has “performed quite well...indeed they dominated the alternatives,” and that “some

This year there are 48 such firms offering 289 different products, continuing the trend that first began in 1995. Among them are the very brokerage firms who were the loudest in maligning them just a few years ago.

Arizona’s Anti-Deficiency Laws: Changes Impacting Homeowners, Homebuilders and Loan Guarantors By Gregory P. Gillis

A
rizona is one of only 12 states with “anti-deficiency” laws that provide mortgage debt relief for homeowners. Arizona statutes provide that a home loan secured by a one or two family residence on 2 1/2 acres or less sold at a trustee’s sale or by judicial foreclosure is not subject to a debt deficiency if the sale price does not repay the lender the full. For example, if a homeowner borrowed $1 million to buy a single-family home on 2 1/2 acres, defaults on that loan, and the lender forecloses, selling the property at foreclosure sale for $600,000, the lender could not recover the $400,000 debt deficiency from the borrower. Arizona’s courts have interpreted the legislative intent of these statutes as protection for consumers who fail to realize the extent to which they are subjecting assets, in addition to their home, to legal process. This legislative protection was also enacted to prevent artificial or inflated deficiencies resulting from market swings. For many years the anti-deficiency laws applied to any one or two family residence on 2 1/2 acres or less. Therefore, homeowners who owned multiple residences meeting this statutory definition were safe from any deficiency liability on all of the properties they owned. As a result, contractors who built several spec homes were not subject to a deficiency judgment on a spec home if foreclosed, provided, the home was on less than 2 1/2 acres and was a one- or two-family home. Many thought the extension of the anti-deficiency protection to speculative homebuilders was too broad. Nonetheless, that remains the law for mortgages and deeds of trust on single family homes on less than 2 1/2 acres entered into prior to Dec. 30, 2014. Arizona’s legislature recently modified the anti-deficiency statutes for deeds of trust and mortgages entered into after Jan. 1, 2015. The anti-deficiency protection no
legalperspectives
longer applies to homebuilders constructing a home with financing to resell the property. The anti-deficiency protection also no longer applies to a land purchase that was intended to be utilized for a dwelling but was never substantially completed or inhabited. This change also affects property with a dwelling that was never inhabited. This legislative change was enacted to overrule case law that interpreted the deficiency-protection statute to apply to a single family home which, although under construction, was never completed or occupied prior to the lender foreclosing on the property. The earlier case law determined that the anti-deficiency statute applied because the homeowners “intended” to occupy the property following completion of construction even though the home was never completed or occupied. The court’s ruling caused borrowers to claim the protection of the anti-deficiency statute for vacant lots on which the property owner “intended” to build a one- or
two-family home. The Arizona Court of Appeals recently ruled that the anti-deficiency laws do not apply to vacant residential lots. Another significant change concerning anti-deficiency protection affecting loan guarantors is the recent ruling by the Arizona Court of Appeals that the protections under the anti-deficiency statute can be waived in writing by guarantors. Although the borrower under the note and deed of trust is entitled to the protection of the anti-deficiency statutes, such protection does not extend to any guarantors of the home loan. The court found that guarantors, by signing the loan guaranty, waived the protection of the anti-deficiency statutes in the written terms of the guaranty. This may cause lenders to request that the deed of trust or mortgage be guaranteed by persons in addition to the homeowner to provide further assurances of repayment of the loan to the lender. The applicability of Arizona’s anti-defi-

ciency laws to one or two family homes on 2 1/2 acres or less remains a bedrock of legal protection to borrowers, but this area of law is rapidly changing both from a statutory and case-law perspective. Homeowners should remain vigilant that their rights and the rights of any guarantors are protected when seeking a home loan. Gregory P.

Dallas and Sara Bennewitz
Amazing
Lash Studio
Accessible luxury comes to Scottsdale By Michele Sonkin
A
The McDowell Mountain Ranch location is the first in Arizona.
40 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
rmed with an extensive background in marketing, franchising and banking, Sara Bennewitz and her husband, Dallas, knew immediately that Amazing Lash Studio was the perfect business with which to be involved. “It’s exciting to open the first Amazing Lash Studio in Arizona,” Sara says. This fast-growing franchise fills a niche—providing affordable and convenient eyelash extensions in a spa-like environment. The first location in Arizona opened in the Scottsdale Horizon Shopping Center on June 12. Clients were booked well in advance of that date. The McDowell Mountain Ranch location is one of 30 nationwide and two more will follow in the state. The couple was attracted to the franchise because it had a great business model, is service-based and fills a need.
They say that while lash extensions have gained popularity in the last few years, it hasn’t always been easy to find a provider. Many lash stylists work independently through word of mouth, rather than in a salon. “We are providing an answer/solution for those who want lash extensions, but haven’t found them to be accessible,” Dallas says. Sara, who worked for more than 30 years as a commercial and residential real estate appraiser, says the staff is comprised of top-of-the-line professions. “Our studio is staffed by licensed estheticians and/or cosmetologists who are devoted solely to the art of lash beauty,” Sara says. “Guests may relax in any of our 12 private lash application suites, with ambient music playing, and blankets offered for added comfort. It is easy to doze off
during a lash application service. This relaxing ‘me time’ is an added bonus to the amazing lashes that each of our guests receive.” Eyelash extensions suit people who are active or have little time to apply makeup, says Sara. “Unlike mascara or traditional false eyelashes, lash extensions are semi-permanent and won’t fall off or smudge, allowing the wearer to feel great about their appearance at all times,” she explained. Amazing Lash Studio is open seven days a week. An optional membership to the studio is available for $49.99. It’s valid at locations nationwide. The proprietary application technique used by Amazing Lash Studio’s stylists allows for faster and more efficient service time. A full set of lashes ($79.99 for members) can be applied in 90 minutes, instead of the two hours or more that it typically takes. Refills ($45.99 for members) can be done in only 50 minutes. Amazing Lash Studio tries to impress each client. The lobby is as clean and bright as an operating room, but manages to be comfortable. The white walls, crystal chandeliers and strategically placed
pops of hot pink all work together to set a mood. Beyond the lobby are private treatment rooms in which the lash stylists work. “I loved it,” says Kerri Rowe, a Scottsdale resident who recently had her first experience at Amazing Lash Studio. “They were very professional and the setting was warm and inviting. I’ve lived all around the country and it’s not easy to find a great place to get lash extensions.” Plenty of market research went into creating this franchise concept. Dallas says he knows about expansion, as most recently he led the startup of Redline Athletics franchise system as chief operating officer. He is adamant that he would not have come onboard if the plan had not been rock solid. “I was involved in Massage Envy at the start and this is growing at an even faster rate,” he says. “It’s expected that there will be 800 to 1,000 locations in the U.S.” The Bennewitzes are planning to bring 16 franchise locations to Arizona and many have already been secured. Their CEO, John Leonesio vouches for the couple. “Dallas was my chief marketing officer at Massage Envy,” says Leonesio, also the

founder of Massage Envy. “He assisted in putting that concept on the map as a national brand, and his marketing support to local franchisees of Amazing Lash Studio will be second to none.”

GROCERIES, and So Much More By Joan Fudala 42 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015

F
rom gathering places to gourmet wonderlands, Scottsdale grocery stores have had a delicious evolution since J.L. Davis opened the first general store here in 1897. We’ve seen familyowned stores fade away and replaced by national supermarket chains. We’ve gone from a barter or cash-and-carry system, to flashing a card in front of an electronic reader to pay for our food and sundries. The grocery products, methods of payment and store names may change, but Scottsdale and the Phoenix metropolitan areas have always had great choices and con-
venience when it comes to food shopping. Here’s a sample of tasty tidbits of Scottsdale’s grocery history: • The first grocer in Scottsdale was J.L. Davis, who opened a general store and post office on what is now the southwest corner of Main Street and Brown Avenue in downtown Scottsdale. Davis and his family lived in a tent home attached to the rear of the store. Sara Coldwell Thomas provided the baked goods, and helped in the store/post office. Mrs. Thomas bought her boss out circa 1903, thus becoming the first female business owner in Scottsdale. Mrs. Thomas, a widowed mother of three, invited her brother-in-law E.O. Brown and his family to move from Wisconsin to help her run the store, which he did until his death in the 1930s. • Brown’s General Store was the gathering spot for the small farming village of
Scottsdale during the 1900s, 1910s and 1920s. Townsfolk not only came for groceries, supplies and to pick up/drop off mail, but also to catch up on town news and gossip. • Before electricity—which finally arrived in Scottsdale circa 1918—ice to keep perishables cool had to be carted in from Phoenix. After the Scottsdale Light and Power Company began service, E.O. Brown added an ice house adjacent to Brown’s General Store, which was a major leap forward for local food purveyors. • Byer’s Market opened on the northwest corner of Scottsdale and Main streets in the 1920s, and employed a Scottsdale High School lad, Earl Shipp. In the mid-1930s, Shipp bought the store from his boss, and continued to run Earl’s Market with his wife Idalee for decades. He helped many families weather the Great Depression by …continues on page 44

After a fire destroyed the original location, Shipp built a new store a block south on Scottsdale Road, where he developed several other downtown retail shops. • With no paved streets in early Scottsdale, and no air conditioning, grocers often left the front door open during business hours, or had a screen door entry. Dust covered the canned goods, but Scottsdale old-timers surely remember employees at Earl’s wiping the cans clean as they put them in grocery bags. In a 1990s oral history interview (now available on the Scottsdale Public Library’s website), rancher Dwight Hudson recalled that a steer veered from the herd during a cattle drive down Scottsdale Road from the ranches north of Scottsdale en route to the stockyards. The steer sauntered into Earl’s and began eating the produce. When Shipp discovered his nonpaying customer, he began swatALS_Scottsdale_half_page_ad.qxd:Layout 1

There’s a bit more to the story of the steercaused havoc, but it’s a bit distasteful...so let’s leave it at that. • Lillian and Marshall Kubelsky operated the Boston Store on the north side of Main Street in the 1920s. The store offered dry goods, furnishings, hats, shoes and groceries. Marshall’s first cousin was comedian Jack (Kubelsky) Benny, who visited Scottsdale several times. The shop’s location became the long-running Gay Nineties-themed Lulu Belle Restaurant circa 1954. • In 1928, Jew Chew Song and his family purchased Johnny Rose’s pool hall on the northeast corner of Main Street and Brown Avenue, and converted it into a grocery. Chew’s Market carried products popular with shoppers from the adjacent Hispanic neighborhood and the nearby Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Mr. Song often traded his food products for those his customers had grown or made. The store is still owned by another generation of the Song family, who have been operating it as Mexican Imports since the 1960s.

• Most of the grocery stores in pre-World War II Scottsdale were locally owned and operated family businesses. Proprietors were aware of the impact of national events on their local customers and employees. During the Depression, Mahoney’s Market on Brown Avenue displayed a National Recovery Act sign, indicating that the owners conformed to hours, wages and other practices recommended by President Roosevelt’s New Deal program. Rationing during World War II affected grocers like Earl’s, Chew’s, Anderson’s, Walker’s Safeway Pay‘n Takit and others, just as it impacted shoppers. Earl Shipp used his weekly ads in the Scottsdale Progress to encourage Scottsdale residents to give blood or buy war bonds during the Korean War.

such as locally grown produce and citrus, meats and poultry from local farms, lard, Coca-Cola in bottles, flour in sacks (that some Depression-era customers made into clothes and household furnishings like drapes), Gerber baby food, Campbell’s soup, Kellogg’s corn flakes and cigarettes. Mahoney’s also had a gas pump at its front entrance for cars, although many rode their horses into town to shop. The one thing that customers wouldn’t find was liquor, as Scottsdale was founded as a dry/temperate town, and didn’t allow alcohol to be sold until after Prohibition was repealed in the 1930s. • With the population boom after World War II, and Scottsdale’s transition from farm town to a resort, art, business and residential community, grocers began to change, too. Although a few independent/single location grocers like Earl Shipp prospered, Valleywide chains like AJ Bayless, Bashas’ and others opened larger stores here. AJ

• People living north of the Scottsdale Airport/ Airpark area before the 1980s had to travel as far south as Scottsdale and Shea to buy groceries. Thunderbird Square brought convenient goods and services to Airpark employees and northern master-planned communities when it opened in 1982. Lucky’s was among the first groceries there; it later became an ABCO grocery store. Price Club opened in 1987, bringing a new concept for buying groceries in bulk to northern Scottsdale. During the 1990s, Albertson’s and Safeway opened in the Airpark area; Trader Joe’s brought its niche to The Promenade in 2000. Oakville Grocer came and went from Scottsdale Quarter circa 2010 and 2011. Walmart and Sam’s Club opened on Northsight in the early 2000s, offering groceries and so much more. • Scottsdale north of the Central Arizona Project canal had limited food item availability at the Pinnacle Peak General Store as far back as the late 1970s, and finally got a supermarket when Safeway opened at The Pinnacle in 1990.

Sprouts opened at Silverstone, the former site of Rawhide theme park, earlier this year. • Merger mania affected Arizona supermarket chains in the 1980s and 1990s. Just to name a few progressions—Bashas’ bought AJ Bayless, but honors the “AJ” name with its high-end boutique-like grocery stores. Smith’s bought Smitty’s in the 1990s, then became part of Fry’s (which became part of the Kroger Company). Price Club became part of Costco in 1993. Whole Foods acquired Wild Oats circa 2007. And the name/ownership changes continue. • Scottsdale grocers have always had a big heart—supporting war bond drives; donating goods to local charities and food banks; allowing local youth, charitable and veterans groups to conduct fund-

Sprout’s opened at Silverstone, the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads, earlier this year.
How lucky we are to have had such a variety of sizes, types and locations for getting groceries. The grocery store is still a great place to run into a neighbor, have a cup of coffee, or support your favorite Scottsdale-area charity. See you in the produce aisle!

New Leadership on the Horizon for Chamber
Rick Kidder is resigning from his position as president and CEO of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce to move to Massachusetts.
The organization’s face is changing, but the mission remains the same By Michele Sonkin
A
s Rick Kidder prepares to leave his role as the president and CEO of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, he has a simple prediction for the organization’s future: “Sky’s the limit.” After 15 years of service, Kidder has resigned so he can be closer to his family in his native New England. His last day with the chamber is July 17 and he will be moving to Massachusetts shortly thereafter. “I’m excited to be heading back home even though I’ve loved living in Scottsdale for the past 30 years,” he says. Kidder has secured a new job leading the New Bedford Chamber of Commerce. New Bedford is a coastal Massachusetts city, has a rich whaling history and boasts the nation’s largest fishing port. The burgeoning economy is comprised of mostly independently owned businesses. “New Bedford is a place in transition. It’s a vibrant community,” he says. It is also home to golf-industry heavyweight, Titleist, and the Zeiterion Theater. The mission of the 1,226-seat capacity venue is to provide New Bedford and the region with performing arts programming of excellence that inspires, educates, engages and entertains, according to its website.
Transition team
Former Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce board chairman, Eric Larson, will serve as interim president and CEO. “Eric is a wonderful man who knows
52 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
The chamber is a reflection of the success or lack of success in the community’s economy. I’m excited to be able to leave the chamber in good shape. — RICK KIDDER
this chamber inside and out,” Kidder explains. “He’s going to be a tremendous asset and will keep things moving along seamlessly.” Finding Kidder’s replacement is a task that the board of directors is taking very seriously, says Bryce Lloyd, board chairman. The group does not plan to rush the process. “We’re all sorry to see Rick go,” Lloyd says. “He’s been such a great leader and face of the chamber. We’re focusing our search on local candidates. Whomever we choose will be someone local who knows the issues that the area faces and who understands the importance of lobbying for interests of local businesses.” Lloyd says that even with the leadership change, the chamber will continue to stress the importance of membership. “If you care about doing business in Scottsdale, you should be a member of the chamber,” he says.
Long tenure
Reflecting on his tenure with the chamber, Kidder recalls the challenging economic times that spanned from 2008-2012 when so many local businesses struggled to stay afloat and the Scottsdale Airpark had a one-third vacancy rate.
Kidder adds that Larson provided extra support to the chamber during that time and that he’s happy that the difficult times are behind them. “Scottsdale entered the recession a little later that the rest of the country and we recovered from it later,” Kidder says. “The chamber is a reflection of the success or lack of success in the community’s economy. I’m excited to be able to leave the chamber in good shape.” As for his hopes for Scottsdale’s future, Kidder is excited about the direction of the local economy, especially the growth and expansion of the biotech and healthcare industries. He has high hopes for the continued development of the Cure Corridor, the area of Scottsdale with a heavy concentration of businesses, like the Mayo Clinic, that focus on bio-life sciences. “I believe that cures for certain types of cancer will come out of Scottsdale,” he says with conviction. As he prepares to leave, Kidder says he will fondly remember the staff with whom he worked. “We have been blessed with the best staff,” he says. “We work them hard and we are relentless about quality. It’s all about the staff, not me. I’m just the flag waver.”
Kidder, who has served the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce for 15 years, said he has loved living in Scottsdale for the past 30 years.

harles Schwerd spent his childhood working with his father at Red Steer Meats in Phoenix. That early introduction to the food industry and restaurants culminated in Schwerd opening Glendale’s Arrowhead Grill and the newly established Preston’s Steakhouse in North Scottsdale. Preston’s—named after Schwerd’s grandfather who was a butcher—is near a successful steakhouse but the location doesn’t faze the owner one bit. “We can give an experience that includes great service and food, but at a more reasonable price,” Schwerd says. “That’s what we have to offer. The other steakhouses are indirect competition, not direct competition.” Schwerd opened Preston’s Steakhouse in April with the goal of redefining the contemporary steakhouse by offering an upscale yet unpretentious experience at an attractive price point. Preston’s Steakhouse’s menu features prime-grade cuts of meat, fresh seafood—including fish selections that can be prepared six different ways—and locally sourced ingredients.

Schwerd said his Delmonico steak (starting at $31.99) is popular. For dessert, the signature butter cake ($9.99), also can be ordered in a red velvet version ($11.99). For butter cake fans, he’ll happily provide the recipe. Schwerd is not relying on his competitive pricing alone to draw crowd. He relies on the best aging and environmental conditions to store the meats on the menu in a meat locker. That locker allows the restaurant to offer dryaged meat to customers who prefer that over the more common wet-aging process. While there are a limited number of dry-aged selections offered on any given day, these custom-aged cuts can also be reserved in advance.

as well as the length of aging, which ranges from 30 to 90 days. That option allows customers to select their meat in advance or have Schwerd select it for them. They can actually stop at the restaurant during the aging process to see their selected cut or have photos sent to them. Preston’s also offers another unique snack for patrons, pepperoni sticks handcrafted from a family recipe, served complimentary at the bar during happy hour, which runs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily. There are plans to create a casual lounge dubbed “Upstairs at Preston’s” on the rooftop of the restaurant, from which customers will be able to see Pinnacle Peak. The details have not been finalized. “It will have completely different energy than the downstairs,” Schwerd said. “We’ve been taking feedback from guests to see what they will support.” Whether the upstairs ends up becoming a piano bar, cigar lounge or any other suggestion offered by guests, Schwerd states that time will be taken to execute it properly. Right now, his primary focus is the new restaurant. Schwerd also has plans to roll out Preston’s Heritage Club, a membersonly monthly dinner, offering specially prepared menus of seasonal items and unique dishes by Schwerd. Members also will enjoy wine tasting events with selections by Master Sommelier Roman Kettler. Private dining services will be available for corporate events and family members on special occasions.

and landings taking place last year, making Scottsdale one of the busiest corporate jet facilities in the country. The 2014 City of Scottsdale Economic Benefit Study reported that activity at the Airport and the Airpark generated $536 million into the local economy with spin-off benefits throughout the entire Airpark calculated at $8 billion per year. It takes money to make money, however, and the price tag for repairs and total runway reconstruction of the 8,249-foot-
long runway (more than 1.5 miles or about the length of 23 football fields) will run just under $20 million—$6 million to strengthen the runway, $9 million for Alpha taxiway and its connectors, and $5 million for taxiway Bravo and its connectors. Tempe-based J. Banicki Construction Inc. - winner of an Arizona Department of Transportation Transportation Excellence Award for its work at Flagstaff airport taxiways - will perform the “B” taxiway work with an approved bid of slightly
more than $5.3 million. This particular taxiway was originally constructed in the 1970s and upgraded in 2001. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will fund 95 percent of the cost of work associated with the contract while the Airport Project Center will pick up the remaining estimated $240,000. The Aviation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Center will be used to track funding for the project. Maintenance costs are not expected to increase as a result of the rehab. The combined improvements are not to increase overall airport traffic, but will allow jets to extend their flight range by taking off with more fuel on board, i.e., increased fuel sales which will translate to increased sales tax revenues. The airport, covering 280-plus acres just a few miles north of downtown Scottsdale, was acquired by the City in 1966. In the fall of 2009, the Scottsdale City Council gave its seal of approval to a proposal to increase weight restrictions there from 75,000 to 100,000 pounds. Therefore, while the number of planes landing/leaving
the airport is expected to stay the same or increase just slightly, allowing planes to depart fully fueled will extend their reach to almost anywhere in the world. “The project isn’t going to bring us any larger aircraft that we already accept, it just means they can go on longer hauls,” said airport spokeswoman Sarah Ferrara. Airport officials do concede that by allowing planes to take off with more fuel (without having to obtain prior approval), the ability to travel longer distances might open up the airport to consideration by national and international air travelers. In addition to repairing cracks, reconstructing connectors and overlaying new pavement, the project also includes new signage and replacement lighting. All existing halogen taxiway light fixtures will be replaced with LED lighting to reduce the cost of electricity and conform to new FAA airport design standards. Currently there are an approximate 100 white lights along the runway with 650 to 700 blue lights along the Alpha and Bravo taxiways. “Pilots will basically see a brand new taxiway when we’re done,” said Read.

Kerry Dunn and Reed Glick of R Entertainment have been in the Airpark for five years.
DREAM CHASERS R Entertainment’s events, concerts boost charities By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
66 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
s R Entertainment principals, Kerry Dunne and Reed Glick are in the business of making people’s dreams come true by bringing events and celebrities to town. The Airpark-based duo consults and produces events ranging from foodie events to major concerts. Glick, along with partner Dunne, have realized their dreams as well by supporting charities with their events. “Almost every event we do is for charity,” Glick says. “Since I came here in 1996, I can’t tell you how much money we’ve donated to inner-city kids and other kids. We don’t do the big fancy charities. We send kids to camps. We do a lot of arts-related things, naturally.” R Entertainment’s team specializes in talent buying, marketing, contracting, ticketing, social initiatives/ PR, programming, enhanced revenue drivers, production, vendor acquisition, accounting settlements and billing, corporate sponsorships and special events. Company representatives interact with every level of management and implementation to ensure efficiency and cost effectiveness across the board: CEO, GM and entertainment director accounting, ticketing, casino hosts, VIP and artist protocols, players clubs, restaurants, police, fire, hotel, catering, stage manager, marketing, media, public relations, and tribal gaming. At least one of R Entertainment’s principals attend each event, including the Scottsdale Fourth of July celebration at WestWorld. R Entertainment works with other

venues as well, ranging from Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino’s Ovations Showroom to the Pepsi Amphitheater in Flagstaff.
Long history
Glick has worked with nearly every major artist in his 35 years in the business. “The most amazing person that I’ve got to work with is B.B. King,” says Glick, who also counts Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath among his friends. “I worked with him for years. With B.B. King, the way he treated his fans is what you think most artists were like. You genuinely felt you were the only person in the room. He was nice. It was nice to see somebody who so appreciated the people who allowed him to do what he loved so much.” Dunne says that Glick has allowed R Entertainment to have a major edge in the business. “Twenty years ago, I was doing festivals and I needed talent,” Dunne says. “I would call up agents and, one, they wouldn’t care who I was, and, two, I would never get a very good deal.” He met Glick through a colleague and the two decided their business relationship could be mutually beneficial. They opened R Entertainment in 2004. “We built our business one brick at a time,” Dunne says. “We are promoters ourselves. We promote all over the country. We create a lot of events. We tour a lot of artists. We also buy enter-
tainment for a lot of people. It suits my business partner and all of our collective creative. We’re artists in our own way. We enjoy doing this and putting together concerts that we can take to the market and something people will actually show up to.” Now R Entertainment works with events in Arizona, California, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Connecticut and Florida. “We’re expanding where there’s opportunities,” Dunne explains. Besides concerts, R Entertainment is deeply rooted in cultural events such as PBS 8’s “Check Please” and CBS’ “Taste of Tempe.” “We have a major culinary initiative,” Dunne says. “We saw about 10 years ago that chefs were becoming the next rock stars. We’re working with a lot of the chefs. They’re fun. They’re creative. They have a wonderful following, so we jumped into that area with both feet.” Dunne says one of the “coolest” festivals R Entertainment is producing is the American Trucker Festival set for April. “We’re going to honor American truck drivers,” Dunne says. “Nobody has done anything for these guys. Everything you eat is delivered by a truck.
“In Arizona, the number of people employed in the transportation industry is staggering. We’re going to invite them to a national convention at WestWorld and start to build a national event—a job fair, trade show, major, major music. We think it has a chance to become a very, very large event.”
Airpark supporters
R Entertainment’s first office was on Scottsdale Road, but five years ago, it moved to the Scottsdale Airpark due to its “phenomenal location.” Glick and Reed live nearby; airports are close; as is WestWorld. Both of them have been impressed with their neighbors. “I was talking with all these folks and it’s amazing the depth and breadth of the companies that are in the Airpark,” Dunne says. “We were told that just across the street from us is a major video/film company. It always intrigues me. It’s like an iceberg. You never know what’s happening.” Glick and Dunne hope to grow within the Airpark as well. “We’ve been at it for 40 years and, in another 40 years, we’ll probably get it figured out,” Dunne says with a laugh. “We have a lot of great opportunities. We’re now able to produce some really cool events. The best part is the public is responding to them. We also try to put together some events that have an economic development/tourism strategy to them. It’s a win-win.” July 2015 Scottsdale Airpark News | 67

JULY Business Horoscopes By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA “The Valley’s Astrologer” Whether you’re a small-business owner or have other career aspirations, insights into how the planets influence your work month can help you plan for maximum performance and project success. ARIES 3/21-4/20 A shift of planetary power continues this month, putting more emphasis on “teamwork.” The interests of others take priority. You can accomplish a lot more by focusing on their needs and what you have to offer them. Reevaluate your personal and financial lives. Take a family vacation between July 9 and July 24.
VIRGO 8/22-9/22 You’re a hard and competent worker, but this month you may find yourself working on being more social with family. Group affiliations can work to your advantage with business and pleasure from July 19 to July 31. Book vacation or travel plans early, then head back to work around Aug. 8.
TAURUS 4/21-5/20 It’s not a bad thing that planetary retrograde calls for a slowdown of duties. It just means that it will take longer to close deals or complete projects. Use this time to review and reassess. It’s best not to push. The second full moon of the month on July 31 brings matters to a close.
LIBRA 9/23-10/22 Your focus is on business now, more than any other place in your “outer world” (your professional/work status) versus your “inner world” (family, home, events, activities, etc.), which can be sensitive. You’ll delicately balance both needs until the third week. Expect to put your needs aside to meet the demands or needs of others. The theme for July is interaction.
GEMINI 5/21-6/20 Mercury will remain in your own Gemini sign until July 8, stimulating your mental activity. You should pitch those ideas or make those contacts, as communication skills are at their peak. Your demeanor—including personal appearance—is the key factor in earning power this month. Avoid confrontations midmonth, as others may be overly sensitive. Get a second opinion as the muscles of your mind are in great form this month. CANCER 6/21-7/20 July is a happy and busy month for your home. Family-related businesses are highlighted until July 26. Pay close attention to family and orchestrate family reunions. Career/work opportunities abound. Finances peak by July 16. You will be motivated. LEO 7/21-8/21 July 1 through July 23 is a time of regeneration. Reconsider your dependency on people—coworkers, companies, suppliers, etc.—and your set work routine. The new moon on July 16 can recharge your methods and creativity.
68 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
SCORPIO 10/23-11/22 In July you’ll have a new sense of personal power and feel more aggressive. Go ahead and take that leap of faith. Seek out new experiences, new contacts and make those inquiries. Two full moons this month—July 2 and July 31—mean you may have to make an important decision or conclude a project. That may take you beyond your day-today detailed routine. Go with your gut feelings. SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/20 You like to travel and explore—and that’s exactly what you may be doing most of July. Address any legal issues during the first half of the month. Expect to address joint-related finances or shared responsibilities. Research new technologies and developments. Timing is favored once the sun enters Leo on July 23. CAPRICORN 12/21-1/19 Interact with others more than normal in July. Cooperation and harmony are two
words to keep in mind. Partnerships of all kinds, including personal ones, require you to put aside your own needs temporarily and address theirs. Insights can be gained. You’ll have to sacrifice to balance your own personal obligation and your work demands. Give and you will receive. The end of July allows for some pleasurable activities. Enjoy! AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Last month gave you much-needed breaks. Work ethic plays an important role in your successes and accomplishments. You’ll meet new business contacts. With the new moon on July 16, you should start to develop new skills. Personal reorganization is highlighted. Significant others in your work and personal lives can turn July into exciting experiences that include a bit of romance. PISCES 2/19-3/20 Stop playing low key. Despite retrograding of planets, you can still move ahead at a rapid pace. Two full moons in one month are rare, but they allow you to conclude matters. Mark your calendar for two full moons—July 2 and July 31. You enter a more creative and playful cycle. Arrange meetings the week of July 8. Be prepared to make concessions the week of July 21. Trust your feelings and take a risk. For your very own personal six-month forecast, recorded by Weiss on a CD, contact weissastro@aol.com or 480600-7424.

Bob Parsons
CEO Marianne Curran
Parsons Rebrands Advertising Firm BIG YAM 78 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2015
T
he Martz Parsons Agency has officially been renamed BIG YAM The Parsons Agency. Bob Parsons acquired Martz Agency in October 2013 and renamed it The Martz Parsons Agency. Since the original acquisition, the agency has hired, trained and established a crew of nearly 50 agency professionals ready to execute on his vision for an all-encompassing branding machine. With the retirement of Carrie Martz and significant investments in new facilities, the agency is being renamed to reflect its unusual capabilities and its place in the YAM Worldwide family. “We’ve assembled a very capable
team,” says businessman and philanthropist Parsons. “People that understand, no matter the size of your company, how to create campaigns that make an impact and, at the end of the day, do what matters most—ring the register.” BIG YAM employs a total approach to marketing, delivering high-quality, industry-leading work. From branding, public relations and traditional creative, to digital media, website development and video production, the firm’s ability to produce everything in-house enables it to seamlessly deliver fully integrated campaigns. “The agency has been a strong supporter of the Valley of the Sun YMCA for many years,” says Jim Diaz, Valley of the Sun YMCA vice president of marketing. “The PR team has been a huge asset in helping us tell the YMCA story of how we are transforming lives across Arizona...the team is responsive, professional and operated like a part of the Y family. “Most recently we worked together to help transition our advertising to the digital age and last year took on the monu-
mental task of building our website from scratch to help bring our mission to more Arizonans and to help usher us into the age of online transactions. We are grateful for their capable work, expertise and dedication to our cause.” The BIG YAM team created and launched the Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) brand. PXG, a nascent golf equipment company, has developed patented technology and a sophisticated manufacturing process that integrates highperformance alloys and elastomers to produce what are quickly being recognized as the finest golf clubs in the world. To differentiate the brand from other manufacturers and highlight its innovative technology, BIG YAM developed a look and feel for the company that is not only unconventional, but is also generating a buzz in the golf industry worldwide. “Bob has a history of thinking outside the box, which dates back to when we
worked together at GoDaddy and even to his earlier marketing endeavors,” says BIG YAM CEO Marianne Curran. “Bob has spent time sharing his marketing vision with our entire team, pushing them to embrace new thought processes to help grab attention and move the needle for our clients and their brands.” To further enhance the agency’s ability to provide its clients with unrivaled service, development of a 30,000-squarefoot headquarters is underway, inclusive of a 4,000-squarefoot production studio facility. The state-of-the-art facility and studio in North Scottsdale will be part of the YAM Worldwide campus, BIG YAM’s parent company, and is scheduled to open its doors in spring 2016.
