commissioners will be term-limited.

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 12. The City Council will consider nominations on Monday, Aug. 29.

Interviews and appointments are expected to be scheduled for Sept. 13. Following the interviews, the council will appoint residents to three-year terms. Commission members must comply with the city’s ethics code.

Scottsdale Elections Will Wait Until November

Scottsdale voters will choose a mayor and three City Council members Tuesday, Nov. 8. Two candidates filed to run for mayor and four filed to run for three City Council seats by the June 1 deadline, making a city primary election unnecessary.

Voters will choose between two candidates for mayor (Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane and former City Councilman Bob Littlefield).

Four candidates, incumbents Suzanne Klapp, Virginia Korte and Guy Phillips and resident Dan Schweiker, will run for three seats on the City Council. Residents can find information and links to candidates’ websites at www.ScottsdaleAZ.gov, search “candidate listing.” Scottsdale voters also will decide a proposed amendment to the city charter. The amendment corrects outdated language to accurately reflect that: • The city’s primary and general elections are held concurrently with the state’s primary and general elections in conformance with state law .

• The terms for the mayor and city council members begin on the first regular meeting in January of the year following their election.

HonorHealth CEO and president retiring

T

wo leadership roles face transition next year at HonorHealth as a CEO and a president will be retiring.

President Rhonda Forsyth will end her run at HonorHealth on Dec. 31. Tom Sadvary’s last day as CEO is expected to be April 3, but he’ll serve in an advisory role through the remainder that year.

The board of directors has tapped Todd LaPorte, HonorHealth chief administrative officer and executive vice president, to move into the CEO role upon Sadvary’s retirement.

“We are uniquely positioned for success in the changing healthcare market thanks to the vision and leadership of Tom Sadvary and Rhonda Forsyth,” says Steve Wheeler, chairman, HonorHealth Board of Directors. “Todd is the right leader for the next phase of HonorHealth’s evolution for the organization in fulfilling its mission.”

Forsyth and Sadvary guided the merger of two long-time Valley healthcare organizations into HonorHealth and contributing 30 years each of leadership in the industry.

Both will continue to lead HonorHealth, Arizona’s eighth largest private employer, through their transition dates.

“I am confident in the direction we are headed,” Sadvary says. “We have a strong mission, vision, values and a brand promise for HonorHealth, and Todd brings all of the right qualities for our next, successful CEO.” Sadvary started his career as a paramedic 40 years ago, and has been in Scottsdale for 30 years.

“This has never been just a job to me,” Sad ar sa s. t s a wa to make a significant di erence or our atients, our employees, our physicians, our partners and our community. It’s a wonderful opportunity and experience to be part of—and continue to be part of—transforming HonorHealth for the next generation.”

“Nothing makes me prouder than to be connected with this great organization,” adds Forsyth. “And nothing humbles me more than to think of the thousands of people whose lives we touch.

Every single day of my work life has had meaning because of what we do to care for people. More than anything, it is the

Rhonda Forsyth

Tom Sadvary

caliber of people in leadership that has enabled me to feel comfortable with my decision.”

Forsyth says HonorHealth has the right team in place to move forward and continue to be successful. “They believe in our mission and I know will continue to uphold the values that have made us great.”

Sadvary began his career in Scotts-

dale in 1986 as administrator of what is known today as HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center. He served in progressive executive roles prior to being named CEO of the former Scottsdale Healthcare in 2005. Sadvary maintained that role with HonorHealth when the company joined with John C. Lincoln Health Network in 2013.

Forsyth started working at John C. Lincoln Health Network in 1987 and served in numerous roles overseeing managed care and revenue cycle operations. She served as CEO of what is now known as HonorHealth John C. Lincoln and HonorHealth Deer Valley medical centers, before being named president and CEO of the former John C. Lincoln Health Network in 2009. When John C. Lincoln Health Network combined with Scottsdale Healthcare, Forsyth assumed

Todd LaPorte the role of president of HonorHealth.

LaPorte leads HonorHealth’s finance, strategic planning, population health management, integration, contracting, payer relations and supply chain management functions. He joined Scottsdale Healthcare in 2001 as director of finance.

He was promoted to CFO, then CFO and chief strategy officer and maintained that role with HonorHealth before assuming his current role as chief administrative officer and executive vice president in 2015. Previously, LaPorte served in senior management roles for an international CPA firm that served many Arizona healthcare clients and as CFO of a dental services company.

Wheeler says he looks forward to the leadership that Forsyth and Sadvary continue to bring over the next year and their efforts to help ensure a smooth transition for LaPorte. “We have a strong team and successful integration, and we are expanding our care and wellness services throughout our communities.

Todd has been part of this success and he is committed to our mission, values and strategic plan that always puts our patients and quality care first.”

LaPorte says with much change in the combined 142 years of history, what remains unchanged is the support of patient care and colleagues, and that decisions are driven by “what is best for the person we are serving.”

“We have the capability to do everything in our plan to achieve our vision, focusing on the continuum of care as we meet all of the needs of our community inside and outside the hospital setting.

We have accomplished much so far and should be proud. I am looking forward to our future.”  July 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News | 15

Virtual Workplace WorldatWork trains companies on how to manage out-of-office employees

By Jimmy Magahern

W

alking around the buildings at 14040 N. Northsight Blvd. in the Airpark, the first thing you notice about the WorldatWork headquarters—besides the distinctive architecture of the 28-year-old single story ranch-style spread (you don’t see arched office windows very often anymore)—is that it sits right next to a city park.

“We do think that is one of the perks of working here,” says president and CEO Anne Ruddy, referring to the 19-acre Northsight Park located just behind the building.

While other workplaces boast of their ping-pong and foosball tables as emblems of cool company culture, WorldatWork literally has a full playground in its backyard—along with picnic areas, walking paths, a basketball court, two tennis courts and two sand volleyball courts. e do these all and s ring ings where we have competitive events for the employees out there,” Ruddy says. “It’s a lot of fun, and fits right in with our wellness rogram.

The 61-year-old company, which functions as a nonprofit association providing certifications, education and training as well as advocacy for professionals in the human resources field, o ers a ariet o other increasingl popular perks, such as a casual dress code, free snacks and an early 2 p.m. dismissal on Fridays.

“That’s quite an attractor and retainer of people,” notes Ruddy. “It gives them a head start on the weekend, especially if they’re getting out of town.”

Even with all those side benefits, WorldatWork has many employees who seldom show up for work. Turns out that’s another of the company’s perks—and a fringe benefit sought after by some applicants today.

The Airpark business allows some of its employees to work from home on an occasional basis. During the recession, an unstable job market and spotty mobile

16 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

technology made workers hesitant to go unseen at the office. n toda s more competitive employment atmosphere, workers are more inclined to jump at a work-from-home opportunity.

“When we built the second building here, we had about 160 people physically in the headquarters at all times,” says Ruddy, who came onboard in 1999, just one year a ter the e ansion was added the first building was completed in 1988).

“And now, on any given day, there’s probably only 80 to 100 employees in these offices. he rest are working rom home, a co-working space or maybe on the road. As a result, we’re getting ready to lease out a portion of our south building, because we don’t see a value to having the physical space sitting there empty when it could be used by somebody else.”

Ruddy credits the rise of the younger, more tech-savvy generation of knowledge workers for the increased use of remote working arrangements—and it’s a trend that can’t be ignored. Forrester Research estimates roughly 43% of the U.S. workforce may be working from home by the end of this year.

“Millennials are not interested in owning cars, they’re using Uber or riding bikes to get to work,” she observes. “So if want to attract young workers and you say to them, ‘Your responsibility is to be h sicall in this office rom to 5 e er day,’ you’re probably not going to get them.

“The only way to attract and keep talent is to think creatively about their needs. And the No. 1 thing people value right now is the ability to design their own schedules

so that they can accommodate their lives.”

Not surprisingly, accommodating the rising demand for telecommuting arrangements has thrown the human resources field into some strange new territory—and has tasked WorldatWork with training and educating HR personnel to manage a world not at work.

“The biggest challenge businesses face today is that their managers are managing people who aren’t physically in front of them,” she says. “As people are using Skype and FaceTime, we’re seeing a lot more organizations—big companies— making the decision to virtualize their workforces. In some cases, they eventually won’t own property at all.

But for that to happen, you have to have policies in place,” Ruddy adds.

“The biggest fear for employers is still that people will use telework as a substitute for child care, or some other reason for being at home and not working. So you have to have rules and conditions.”

Airpark by error

When WorldatWork relocated to Scottsdale from Pittsburgh, where the group then-known as the American Compensation Association had established its first si eable head uarters, it seems no one wanted to show up to the new Arizona offices.

Arthur Ring, the organization’s first director, had put a choice of potential locations for the new home office up to a vote by the board members. The instructions were to rank their preferences on a scale of one through 13, with 13 being the least desirable choice.

Scottsdale came in dead last in the poll.

But somehow those in charge of tallying the results got the scale reversed. In 1976, that least-preferred location became the new home of the association. he first head uarters were an office building near Scottsdale Road and

an engineer, or an office assistant “At the time, there wasn’t an established position for people whose expertise was in the management of pay, benefits or other ways to motivate employees.

So it kind of became its own profession,” explains Ruddy.

That small group of HR pioneers grew into a national organization in 1963, and a global organization b 5, when it began to educate and certify individuals outside of the United States.

In 2000 the ACA changed its name to WorldatWork, representing the association’s evolution from dealing solely with compensation into an organization encompassing all the various benefits and rewards—from insurance to 401K plans to perks—directly associated with attracting, retaining and motivating employees.

Over the years, the organization has dealt with a wide range of HR evolutions, from adapting to the web as a primary avenue for continuing education to accommodating the needs of a graying workforce, as baby boomers continue to remain in the workforce after traditional Anne Ruddy president and CEO of WorlatWork, retirement age.

“It’s gratifying to have the says more companies are virtualizing their opportunity to work with very workforces. smart people around the world and Lincoln. A dozen years later, the company do reall cool things that a ect the li es o moved into its current building at 14040 working people everywhere,” says Ruddy.

N. Northsight Blvd.

“At the time, the only other business out here besides us was Vanguard, which only had one building,” says Ruddy, laughing.

Despite settling in Scottsdale by mistake, things worked out well.

“It’s interesting how this organization made some very good moves at the right time,” he says.

From the start, WorldatWork has been about providing professional education and career training to human resources personnel, so that they in turn can attract employees seeking fair wages and enticing rewards to the companies they serve. In fact, it could be argued that WorldatWork created the HR profession as we know it.

“It started 61 years ago in a small town in Ohio with a group of individuals in different companies who were literally stealing employees from one another by paying them more,” says Ruddy.

“Finally one day they got together and said, ou know, we re all a ing di erent wages to the same people. Why don’t we sit down and really decide what is the value of

Invisible workforce

This latest challenge—educating HR professionals to manage people they can’t physically see in the workplace—is “probably the profession’s biggest test et, sa s orldat ork s first emale CEO. “You have to set up a program in order for it to work,” Ruddy emphasizes. “We use a two-part deal, which is probably the best practice businesses can implement.

“We have a statement that employees must sign, saying they have computer equipment that meets our cyber-security requirements, they’ve discussed the arrangement with their team, and they’ll be available to come into the office for important meetings. There’s a set of conditions that the employee has to follow.”

That’s part one. Ruddy says part II is “they have to be an employee who’s performing. The big stressor for managers is, ‘Oh, if I give this privilege to one employee I have to give it to all of them.’

“But that’s not true. If you have someone

who’s not performing face-to-face, they’re certainly not going to do well from home.

If you have single parents or working arents, the ha e to confirm that the e made arrangements for childcare, so you know that’s not what they’re going to be doing at home.

“Once you set those conditions, it’s almost a contract. And we review it about once a year, and we ask, ‘Are we happy with the arrangement we ha e Are all these conditions still being ollowed “If they are, and the performance is good, the arrangement can continue,” Ruddy says. “There’s a lot of formalization required for this to work, and that’s something some smaller employers don’t think about.”

Ruddy admits that the logistics and technology required to manage a remote workforce can at first be difficult and sometimes frustrating to adjust to.

“Everyone has to learn the collaborative tools so that eo le in di erent laces can work on the same projects together,” she says. “When we do what I call the ‘Brady Bunch chat,’ where you bring everybody onscreen in di erent cities, all talking to one another, that can be a challenge.

“I had a board member working from home who had three or four dogs, and I don’t think she knew what a mute button was. So we’d be in the middle of an im ortant briefing and we d hear, oo oo Tr a n s f o r m i n g a s i x - d e c a d e - o l d organization into one at the leading edge of the new workplace design has necessitated some new learning among the business educators themselves, but so far it appears to be working.

“We haven’t found that looking at one another is that important, as long as you have really good, consistent communication between people. Whether the re in the office or not.

Whatever changes lie ahead, Ruddy insists WorldatWork must stay ahead of the curve and remain an example for HR professionals at other companies to follow. e ha e to walk the talk, right she says. “It doesn’t make sense for us to tell everybody else, ‘This would be good for you to do,’ and then have them look around our organization and say, ‘Well, you don’t do it.’

“Our organization and the members that we have really influence the lives of every employee who works in any organization,” she reiterates. “We’re the ones who build the motivators that make things happen. So it’s really kind of an important job.”  July 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News | 17

Scottsdale’s historic links to 2016 convention cities

By Joan Fudala

T

his month we’ll be hunkered down in front of a screen—TV, tablet or phone—watching history being made at the Republican and Democratic national conventions. If you need a break from all the drama and rhetoric, ponder our historic ties to Cleveland (GOP convention site, July 18 to July 21) and Philadelphia D C con ention site, ul 5 to ul .

Scottsdale-Cleveland and Ohio ties:

• Several Ohio-born U.S. presidents played significant roles in Arizona Territorial and statehood history. President Rutherford B. Hayes was the first president to

visit the Arizona Territory; he also signed the executive order creating the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in 1879. President William McKinley visited the Phoenix Indian School in 1901. Teddy Roosevelt served with Arizonians in the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War, and dedicated his namesake Roosevelt Dam in 1911. President William Howard Taft signed the statehood act on Feb. 14, 1912.

• Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell—for whom Fort McDowell, the McDowell Mountains, etc.—was born near Columbus, Ohio.

What’s new, different and always a fave in San Diego

By Joan Fudala

San Diego has great beaches; one of the best is Powerhouse Park and Beach in Del Mar.

H

ol heatwa e ime or Air ark businessmen and other Valley residents to head for San Diego, and have some fun without the restrictions that triple-digits impose on our outdoor activities. If you only go to the San Diego area once a year, then here’s a primer on what’s new, different—or still a favorite since last summer. Most visitors have chosen a “vacation-hood," but you might want to step outside your comfort zone and try something new.

If you fly over and rent a car, be prepared for a major change: San Diego International Airport opened a new, consolidated rental car facility in January.

A large, free shuttle bus takes you from SAN curbside to the new facility, where most of the major brands are located (a few are still along Kettner).

The “sharing economy” is booming in San Diego. AirBnB runs full-page ads in most publications and on TV, Uber and Lyft take you where you want to go at the tap of a smartphone, and DecoBike racks (where members can pick up and drop off a bicycle) are popping up everywhere.

San Diego bills itself as the “Craft Beer Capital of America,” and two dozen more breweries opened this past year, bringing the total to well over 100. Wineries have

24 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

also expanded (no longer just in Temecula) and tasting rooms are everywhere. Just don’t plan to drive yourself (see above for driving services) if you’re going to imbibe.

South to north, here’s the scoop:

South Bay

• Aquatica by SeaWorld near Chula Vista has opened several new attractions in its fourth season of water fun.

• Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista now has a Turtle Lagoon.

• Get psyched for the Rio Olympics with a visit to the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista; several tour options available: http://go.teamusa. org/1UgcAdk

• Your “faves” are still there—the Del, Peohe’s at Ferry Landing, Lamb’s Theatre, the beach.

Coronado

Downtown San Diego

• Did you know there’s free shuttle bus service Memorial Day through Labor Da throughout the island • Favorite local restaurant Brigantine has opened a new location on Orange Avenue in Coronado’s downtown district.

Canadian Cash Northern neighbors pump money into Airpark, Arizona

By Ken Abramczyk

C

algary native John Hopkinson often flies between his Calgary International Airport and the Scottsdale Airport, where his company, Hopkinson Aircraft Sales, is located.

Hopkinson likes the convenience.

He says he can fly from Calgary to Scottsdale in two hours and 45 minutes.

“For us, the Airpark gets good corporate traffic, traveled by the big decision makers,” says Hopkinson, whose company acquires, brokers and sells new and preowned corporate jets. It works closely with Landmark Aviation.

Hopkinson is one of the Canadian travelers who represent 87% of all

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

international flights into Scottsdale Airport.

Glenn Williamson, CEO and founder of the Canada Arizona Business Council, rattles off statistics and names like he’s flipping a Rolodex. The council found that 581 Canadian companies employ 12,467 workers in Maricopa County. Statewide, that figure is 18,272 employees at 772 businesses.

Williamson says he believes the number of affluent Canadians is increasing in Arizona. Numbers have yet to be tracked in the Airpark, but, he notes, there has been an influx of Canadian jets in terminals.

Williamson highlighted many

companies: Hopkinson Aviation, Gemini Group, Carpay and others.

Bank of Montreal, which has a local headquarters on Camelback Road, operates a bank near the Airpark.

Irene Clary, the principal of CatClar Development and developer of Soho Scottsdale, relocated here from Toronto.

“You just see oodles and oodles of little Canadian companies,” Williamson says.

More than 895,000 Canadians visited Arizona in 2013, spending $923 million, according to the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. More than 132,200 Arizona jobs depend on trade and investment with Canada. Canada and

Arizona spend $3.7 billion in annual bilateral trade.

Hopkinson says he chose to open an office here because the Scottsdale Airport operates as a general and private aviation hub.

“Many western Canadians spend time in Arizona,” Hopkinson says. “We have had a personal connection to the airport since we first visited Scottsdale and purchased a home around 20 years ago.”

Increased flights boosted travel

Williamson says the reasons for flying to Scottsdale haven’t changed. Williamson sits in meetings where business leaders discuss—sometimes overanalyzing this topic—why they do business in Arizona and leave the homeland. “Hey guys, it’s simple: it’s cold,” Williamson says.

Once airlines scheduled more nonstop flights from Canadian cities into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, travel increased to Arizona. Combine that with the cost of square footage of offices and homes back home, and Canadians, many in the middle of their careers, began moving to the area, Williamson says.

“In the last decade Scottsdale has grown into the Palm Springs and Naples (Florida) category,” Williamson explains.

Not only is the Airpark obviously conducive to his business, but many

executives fly corporate jets to Scottsdale to attend conventions, conduct business, golf or stay in second homes, he adds.

“The other airports cater more heavily to training or commercial traffic and are far away from where the action is,” Hopkinson says. “The Scottsdale Airpark is in the center and handles almost exclusively corporate aircraft, and has very friendly customs personnel.”

Western provinces rule in home ownership

The economic impact spreads into the real estate market as well.

Canadians own 22,424 residential properties in Maricopa County, according to statistics from the Maricopa County Assessor’s office. They own 94% of internationally owned residential properties, and 3,707 homes in Scottsdale.

About 70% of Canadians who own residential properties in Maricopa County are from Alberta and British Columbia.

Calgary native Don Matheson, founder of The Matheson Team, says Canadians are drawn to the Airpark’s strengths: a large employment center, retail, business hub and strong property values, including the nearby luxury homes in Grayhawk, DC Ranch and McDowell Mountain Ranch. Matheson bought a home here about 20 years ago, and travels between John Hopkinson owns Hopkinson Aircraft Sales at the Scottsdale Airpark.

Don Matheson describes himself as: “Canadian by birth, American by choice.”

Arizona and Canada about two or three times a year.

“We see a lot of interest from Canadians in the second home market. They are restricted by the days they can spend here, but they are interested, from condos to super luxury homes.”

Matheson describes himself as: “Canadian by birth, American by choice.”

The housing market has slowed a bit since the Canadian dollar weakened and oil prices fell, but “there’s still a lot of interest from Canadians.”

Hopkinson credits the low corporate tax and great winter climate as big draws for Canadian businesses to relocate in Scottsdale.

Williamson says he believes the business potential can only grow. “I think you will see Canadian investors shift their money here from California.”

Scottsdale and Arizona can extend their reach from western Canada to Montreal where Canadian aerospace companies are located, he adds.

“We’re in a premier position where we should be pulling the best of the best and let them know what we have here,” Williamson says. “We’ve done a decent job to get companies into Arizona and into the Airpark.

“If Arizona is the destination, then the Airpark is the reception area coming in.”  July 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News | 29

T

he Scottsdale Airpark continues to evolve as a jobs center, retail destination and commercial hub, accented with luxury residential homes.

More than 3,000 companies employ 55,260 workers in the Airpark. Some of these companies are expanding either by opening a new headquarters, adding square footage or supplementing a current office with a new one.

Here are some recent highlights:

Originally offering executive suites, the company now has expanded to provide shared office space and coworking environments. Business owners can use the space without the expense of leasing or owning a building.

Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale

GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons opened the world’s largest Harley Davidson Dealership at 15656 N. Hayden Rd., which houses a 95-seat chapel and multi-purpose room for weddings and events, a coffee bar, 48-seat movie theater and a tattoo studio.

Investing in the Future Caliber Companies launch $15M offering through Merriman Capital

M

erriman Holdings is advising Caliber Companies on a regulation A+ offering. The anticipated offering will allow Caliber to raise up to $15 million and the transaction is expected to be offered through a syndicate of investment banks.

Caliber is located in the Airpark at 16074 N. 78th St., Suite B-104, Scottsdale.

“Today’s IPO markets are clearly broken, severely inhibiting capital formation for emerging growth companies,” says Jon Merriman, CEO of Merriman Holdings.

“The SEC, through its recent mandate under Reg. A+, has begun to level the playing field and is now enabling all classes of suitable investors to participate in the IPO process. Their actions may jumpstart

32 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

what used to be a robust environment for capital raising in the U.S. “In the past, many groundbreaking companies went public with small IPOs. It’s amazing to note—in light of today’s incredibly bifurcated market—that Adobe went public in 1986 with a $7 million transaction. Clearly, we need to get back to the point when fast growing, deserving private companies want to, and are able to, go public again. This is important for all stakeholders, and, in the long term, will benefit employment and our economy.”

Chris Loeffler, CEO and co-founder of Caliber The Wealth Development Company, adds that he is convinced that this is the right path for his company.

“We believe that Reg. A+ was formed specifically for solid, high-growth companies like Caliber,” Loeffler says. “We are pleased to be working with the entrepreneurs at Merriman on this groundbreaking transaction.”

Caliber has not registered or qualified a Regulation A offering with the SEC. Prior to doing so, Caliber is testing the waters to solicit potential investor interest, according to a press release. It is not accepting money or any binding commitments at this time.

Reg. A+ of Title IV of The JOBS Act allows private companies to raise up to $50 million from the public. By inviting its early adopters to participate in a Reg. A + offering, a company can reward its customers and turn those customers into brand ambassadors.

Chris Loeffler, CEO and co-founder of Caliber “These new rules provide an effective, workable plan to raising capital that also provides strong investor protections,” says SEC Chairwoman Mary Joe White.

“It is important for the commission to look for ways that our rules can facilitate capital-raising by smaller companies.”

Since 2009, Caliber has assisted investors build wealth though real estate in all market conditions. Focused on acquiring opportunistic assets and increasing revenue with their proven systems and management teams, Caliber has consistently produced above market gains. Caliber uses a diversified approach to real estate to minimize risk and maximize opportunities through all market cycles.

Caliber invests in hotels, self-storage, apartment communities, single-family residential properties and office buildings. 

Four receive top honors

Chamber rewards for community service

By Ken Abramczyk

M

ore than 200 volunteers assist the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce by working on committees and task force groups.

The Chamber recently honored four of them at an awards breakfast at the Scottsdale Museum of the West.

“The Chamber could not accomplish all of the good things we do for Scottsdale’s business community without the help of our volunteers,” said Mark Hiegel, Chamber president.

Hiegel said the Chamber is one of Scottsdale’s oldest nonprofits, assisted by the volunteers at all levels in the organization. “The heart and soul of any nonprofit is its board,” Hiegel said, commending it for its work in helping businesses thrive and battle through a recession. The honorees that day were cited for their time and accomplishments with the Chamber and in the community.

Melinda Gulick, the senior vice president for DMB Associates, received the Legacy Award, honoring the Chamber volunteer ’s long-term achievements and social and economic impact on the community.

Gulick is responsible for DMB Associates’ human resources, marketing, corporate communications, internal communication and employee engagement programs. Gulick serves on the boards of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona Humane Society, the Phoenix Women’s Board of the Steele Children’s Research Center, Desert Discovery Center and the Desert Foundation Auxiliary.

She is the past chairwoman of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy and received the first Arizona Cox Conserves Heroes Award for her advocacy and volunteer work with the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Gulick also served as a member of the Junior League of Phoenix Foundation Board of Directors.

In 2015, Gulick was recognized by the Phoenix Business Journal as one of the Outstanding Women in Business.

Gulick said volunteering with the Chamber gave her an opportunity to meet who would become “some of her

best friends” and her eventual husband, and learn community stewardship, stating she was humbled by the award.

“I am appreciative of the Chamber staff, as Mark has brought great leadership and vision. (Scottsdale) is a great place to live and a great place to work,” Gulick said.

Don Couvillion, vice president of real estate for the ASU Foundation, was honored with the Segner Award for his work at SkySong, ASU’s innovation campus. This award, named after the Chamber ’s first board chairman, Wesley Segner, celebrates an outstanding Chamber member ’s impact through community trusteeship and leadership.

Couvillion manages SkySong’s partnership with the city of Scottsdale, including zoning and development guidelines and lease management, and acts as a liaison with city offices and representatives of SkySong’s surrounding neighborhood. Couvillion directs the project’s outreach to the community.

He meets and works with development partners to assure that the long-term value of ASU Foundation’s assets are maintained and enhanced by development activities.

Renee Wittrock, co-founder of College Prep Mastery and the CFO of Wittrock Financial Group, was honored

for the Dale Fingersh Volunteer of the Year. This award recognizes “an individual of outstanding character” and Chamber steward.

Wittrock serves on the Chamber ’s Economic Development Advisory Council and a steering committee for Scottsdale Forward. Wittrock and her husband, Chip, serve on the city’s Airpark Committee. She participates in focus groups on Scottsdale’s growth and development. She also served as head of membership for Desert Mountain High School PTO and on the University of Arizona Parent and Family Board for the Phoenix Kickoff.

Doreen Reinke, vice president of operations for excess and surplus of specialty operations for Nationwide Insurance Co., received the Mark Eberle Rising Star award. She leads business operations, including delivery of services of statistical processing, underwriting, claims support and processing.

Reinke serves on the Valley of the Sun United Way campaign cabinet, Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Scottsdale Community College President’s Advisory Board and Scottsdale Leadership Advisory Council. She received the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebrating Diversity champion award for her work

promoting civil and human rights.

She was recognized as a Scottsdale Leadership Frank W. Hodges honoree for her significant contributions in the community.

Hiegel concluded the event by thanking all the volunteers, which represent thousands of employees. With all of the volunteers, the Chamber ’s leadership

has difficulty deciding on who wins.

“These four were chosen,” Hiegel said.

With the sold-out Scottsdale Forward event earlier this year and the addition of 15 new members, Hiegel said the volunteer efforts are a huge contributor to the Chamber ’s success. “A strong Chamber is what leads our business community,” he said. 

Learning Fast, Learning for Keeps Program reinforces training, enhances employee development

A

t Advanced Business Learning, “Learning at the Speed of NOW” is not just a catch phase, it’s an imperative. The program devised by the 17-year-old company describes the urgency of learning and retaining in the business world.

“Our intent with Learning at the Speed of NOW is to educate companies and individuals on the need for targeted, reinforced and continuous learning directly applicable to the job at hand. This is a competitive advantage to companies to ensure they have ready resources equipped to do the job now,” says Tom Jenkins, CEO of Advanced Business Learning (ABL).

The speed-learning program addresses the need of businesses to train employees quickly but also in a way that results in retention of information. Research cited by ABL shows that the average training and development program results in a steady decline in the use of newly acquired skills. Only about 50% of

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

skills are still in use three months after the typical training event.

“Many companies send their employees to training in the hopes they will come away with a new skill, behavior or knowledge.

Unfortunately, what happens is the employee spends time in lengthy instructor led workshops that are generic in nature and provide little or no reinforcement back on the job when the employee tries to apply the learning. This is both a waste of time, talent and money,” Jenkins says.

ABL calls its answer to this problem the Continuous Learning System.

“The Continuous Learning System improves the performance of the participants at a minimum of 20% over training alone,” Jenkins says. “Renowned learning organizations such as Wilson Learning Worldwide have conducted multiple independent studies on the business impact of learning sustainability, or lack thereof,

which continues to substantiate the need for continuous learning systems.”

The system, an inventory of tools and content designed to reinforce learning speed and retention, involves activities that can be adapted to any business training program. Jenkins cites as an example recent work the company did for the U.S. Navy recruiting command: “We designed a reinforcement ‘gamification’ or simulation to enhance recruiters’ knowledge and interpersonal skills in an engaging, photorealistic, immersive learning environment. While interacting with potential prospects, learners were assigned missions to challenge higher order thinking skills, gain points and compete with other recruiters, all within set time limits.

“To make it fun, game elements were added such as the learner being able to ‘blow up’ the paperwork with a simulated battleship – something many of us would love to do!”

Tom Jenkins Elements of the Continuous Learning System include two vital components: • Learning in a Box: Pre-packaged workshops focusing on “main things” topics. Conducted in staff meetings, Lunch and Learns including activities such as application of skills and tools, interactive dialogue and sharing of best practices.

• Flash Training: A small unit of instruction delivered in small segments, sometimes called “micro-learning.” This can include a five-minute, online mini-lesson designed to impart exactly the knowledge needed in a specific situation, as well as brief updates from supervisors following a break or at the beginning of a shift change.

ABL’s Continuous Learning System can be delivered in-person or digitally.

“We frequently design flash training that is mobile-ready on any device. For instance, we designed custom training for the Air Force for field use. We work with subject matter experts from the organization to develop the learning outcomes specific to the participants and then design the training to achieve the desired outcomes. At the Department of Energy, we are developing training for field inspectors to detect illegal contraband on cargo shipments.”

In addition to the U.S. Navy and Air Force, ABL’s clients in recent years have included the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency; the Bureau of Land Management; Pacific Northwest Lab; the Department of Commerce; and the State of Arizona.

What private businesses might profit from ABL’s Continuous Learning System?

“Any organization with a desire to grow, learn and develop their employees are potential clients,” Jenkins says.

ttention, all those with a nose for good vintages and a love for flying: There’s a place where the temperature is always 55 degrees, and jets taxi outside the door.

Vinum55 is a wine cellar inside Scottsdale Airport’s Hangar One, one of only a handful of cellars across the country where it is possible to store those precious bottles of 2003 PontetCanet in perfect conditions, and also to pull one or two of them to decant with friends in an elegant tasting room.

And it’s the only one with instant access to a runway.

Of course, you don’t have to be a pilot or own a private jet to take advantage of Vinum55 at its unique Scottsdale location. But if you happen to own both an airplane and a taste for wine that goes a few leagues beyond Blue Nun, then you are a prime candidate for its services.

“Guys who have planes usually have great wine collections,” explains Raini Keyser, director of operations for Vinum55.

“Not that we were looking to be in an aviation hangar. That wasn’t the plan.

But when an investor who keeps a plane here found the location, we thought— yes, that makes sense. We felt like the partnership of flying and wine was a natural one.”

Owners Bill Borders and John Finn had already opened the first Vinum55 location in Phoenix in March 2014. Wine connoisseurs Borders and Finn realized one day that everything they were looking for—thing like a controlled cellar in a convenient location, inventory management and a classy tasting room—were things they could supply themselves and make a profit doing so.

“They thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great,’ and then, ‘We can build a business around that,” Keyser says.

Word spread among Valley

Raini Keyser, director of operations for Vinum55, says plane owners generally have “great wine collections.” oenophiles—high English for “wine geeks”—and success quickly followed, demanding expansion. With the Phoenix facility at 70% capacity last fall, it was time to start looking for other Valley community to be served. The Scottsdale Airport Vinum55 opened in November, followed by a Chandler location in March.

Clients come for the storage, and get much more, Keyser says.

“It usually starts with the storage piece. Having a locker with us, you understand you can pull a couple of bottles anytime and host a meeting in the tasting room. That sociability is what is missing from other cellars.”

All three facilities “have a perfect cellar and a tasting room,” Keyser says.

The stemware in the tasting rooms is varietal specific, so you won’t end up

drinking Chardonnay out of a red wine glass.

Each cellar provides everything a bottle of wine requires: the right temperature (55 degrees Fahrenheit), the correct humidity (70%), darkness and absolute stillness. The combination of cool, humid air and darkness is why wine has traditionally been stored in literal “cellars.” The word crossed over into oenophile jargon to mean anyplace fine wine is carefully stored.

That storage temperature of 55 degrees is not the same as tasting temperature, Keyser points out. Whites should be served a little cooler than that, and reds slightly less cool—though the myth of reds being served at “room temperature” is all wrong, Keyser says. Room temperature produces an alcoholic edge and flattens the fruits and herbs that are a true wine lover ’s raison d’etre.

Vinum55’s clients purchase a minimum of one 24-case locker at $150 per month, leased for a year. Scottsdale’s Vinum55 capacity is already at 125,000

Vinum55, a wine cellar inside Hangar One, stores wines to allow for its owners to decant with clients or friends inside a tasting room. bottles, or 25%. Many of oenophiles live in the Valley.

Wine needs that coolness, stillness and darkness in order to age properly.

“The ’08 Hundred Acre is beautiful right now,” Keyser says, pointing to a client’s case of that wine. Eight years of aging have worked their magic.

“When you age a wine in the bottle, the chemical elements blend together to make changes. This creates a totally different flavor, a whole new experience.

One you’ve had wine on this level, it’s an entirely different thing from ordering a glass at dinner, though that is also a fine experience.”

Wines also “peak,” finding just thce

right maturity of flavor to bring out their best. They can also go past their peak, making the choice of exactly when to drink a bottle a complex decision indeed. Much about the world of the oenophile depends simply on taste.

“Some people like to drink younger vintages. There are people who prefer something like a 2012 vintage, while there are other who only drink older burgundies,” Keyser says.

Vinum55 accepts delivery of wines for clients, which puts an end to missed home deliveries that end up sitting in a hot truck. Vinum55 also has a retail arm, making wines available for sale to clients. The final piece to be put in place sometime soon, Keyser says, will be a fleet of cold trucks to manage shipping from one location to another.

Locals and visitors can get a reprieve from the Scottsdale heat at BLK Live’s pool, where live entertainment is featured every weekend for the 21 and older crowd, while Fridays have Family Funday with families and kids of all ages welcome from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Kid-friendly menus and music are offered during Friday Family Funday.

BLK Goes ‘Live’ Concert hall adds to restaurant’s vibe

B

LK Live is blending three important facets of entertainment—live music, recreation and food—to create a onestop destination for an evening out.

The venue, a 20,000-square-foot casual restaurant with a fine dining feel, offers a dining room, bar and patio dining, and a pool with custom cabanas, a palapacovered bar and an adjacent concert hall that accommodates 1,000 guests for live entertainment, wedding receptions or other private events. An official ribboncutting opening with the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, July 1.

BLK takes its name from the black Wagyu cattle considered to be the United States’ highest quality beef, featured prominently on the menu. The restaurant’s name also gives a nod to the live music it offers in the dining room, concert hall and poolside on weekends.

The contemporary American menu emphasizes grilled hand-cut Wagyu (American Kobe) steaks from Snake River Farms, a family-owned business founded in Idaho in 1968. BLK also serves Akaushi Wagyu beef from Heart Brand, fourth-

generation cattle ranchers in Texas who work to maintain and protect the Akaushi breed.

“Our goal is to serve delicious and approachable food with the highest quality ingredients,” said Kevin Johnson, a principal of Skydoor Restaurants, which owns BLK Live. “We are providing Scottsdale residents and visitors the unique combination of a fine dining destination in a relaxed atmosphere with great entertainment. This will be the first venue of its kind in the area.”

Executive Chef Daniel Hackett and Sous Chef Michael Casanova created the menu for BLK Live, which is managed by Robert “Cookie” Oliver.

The BLK menu includes an array of appetizers including tuna poke (ahi tuna, wonton chips, wasabi mayo, Sriracha mayo); crispy pork belly (braised pork belly, smoked peaches, brown sugar bourbon); frog legs (fried, served with a creole aioli) and more.

BLK also serves soup made from scratch daily, and a variety of salads made fresh with chicken, ahi and Kobe steak options. Nearly a dozen burgers and sandwiches are featured, including a barbecue stu ed burger Sailor Jerry spiced rum barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese and fried onions); blackened chicken

sandwich (blackened organic chicken, pepper jack cheese, avocado, red onions, tomatoes, Salanova lettuce and roasted garlic aioli); El Jimador Burger (El Jimador-marinated patty, tequila guacamole, bacon, pickled jalapenos, carrots, onions and pepper jack cheese); and a Coppola Cabernet Burger (cabernetmarinated patty and grilled tomato), turkey and veggie burgers, among others.

Other entrees at BLK include roasted pork tenderloin, served on cheddar bacon polenta with a red wine cherry reduction, and rack of ribs, slathered with Sailor Jerry spiced rum barbecue sauce, served with jalapeno mac & cheese and French fries). The Coppola filet is an ounce Snake Ri er arms filet accompanied by purple mashed potatoes, asparagus and fried onions.

BLK has an extensive wine list from every major winemaking region, as well as select boutique wineries, sparkling wine, Champagne, an array of craft cocktails, and 12 beer taps featuring rotating craft, domestic and imported beers. Patrons who enjoy premium spirits will appreciate BLK’s selection of nearly two dozen labels of fine scotch, whiskey, cognac, tequila and more.

Featuring sophisticated yet casual décor, BLK has a modern flair with wood plank walls, wood tables, bright orange upholstered

booths, galvanized metal accents and custom lighting with an industrial feel. Tributes to music legends can be found throughout the dining room and poolside cabanas in the form of custom artwork.

Los Angeles-based artist Roman Pastucha was commissioned to create lifelike paintings, which are airbrushed acrylics reproduced onto Plexiglass. Known as hyperrealism, the paintings have the look of a photo, and are backlit at night for a dramatic effect. Iconic artists David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are depicted. Pastucha is working on a painting of Prince, which will be lit in purple, to add to BLK Live’s collection.

Adding to the ambiance are 34 TVs and multiple fire features throughout the restaurant and patios. Upon completion of BLK’s patio—which will be the largest patio for dining in Scottsdale—the restaurant will accommodate more than 200 people for dining, and approximately 1,000 for private parties.

BLK Live is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The restaurant is located at 7301 E. Butherus Dr., just east of North Scottsdale Road, in Scottsdale. To make reservations or for more information, call (480) 494-5069 or visit www.blklivescottsdale.com. 

BLK’s bar has an extensive wine list along with popular liquors.

Although known for its steak and burgers, BLK Live also offers organic poultry, seafood, salads and other American cuisine. The Roasted Pork Tenderloin is from White Marble Farms and served on cheddar bacon polenta with a red wine cherry reduction.

BLK Live manager Robert “Cookie” Oliver says the restaurant’s BLK Meatloaf is one of its popular dishes. The comfort dish has Snake River Farms ground beef and a brown sugar glaze, served atop garlic mashed potatoes and collard greens.

BLK Live has a few signature burgers paired with a 50ml bottle of liquor, like this Bulleit Bourbon Burger, which is marinated in the Bulleit and served with cheddar cheese, carmelized onions and French fries that are hand-cut in-house.

Guests must be 21 or older to order the alcohol-infused selections.

Charlie Popeck owns Green Ideas, a building consulting firm.

The nearly completed operations center at the Scottsdale Airport was built to meet LEED certification guidelines and save on energy usage.

Taking the LEED Airport operations center expected to be certified soon

By Ken Abramczyk

T

he city of Scottsdale continues to take a literal LEED in creating buildings to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

The city has 11 buildings certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, an international system to certify sustainable design, construction and operations for “green” buildings, with the operations center at the Scottsdale Airport soon expected to be the 12th.

Charlie Popeck, president and founder of Green Ideas, a “high performance” building consulting firm overseeing the operation center’s construction, said the building is nearly completed. “We’ve sent the paperwork to the U.S. Green Building Council to review.”

The selection of building materials used is a large component of LEED certification and among the steps necessary to make the building more environmentally friendly and to cut energy costs, critical during these triple digit temperatures of summer, Popeck

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

says. “You use concrete instead of asphalt to help mitigate the heat island effect.” A light reflective coating of paint absorbs less heat than traditional roofs.

Popeck cites several other features on the $4.1 million center to meet the LEED certification: It also will house an insulated roof system and water-efficient plumbing fixtures, special parking areas for alternative fuel vehicles and car pools.

The airport operations building was constructed along LEED guidelines in five categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality. “LEED is point-based,” Popeck says. “The more points you get, the higher the certified classification of silver, gold or platinum.”

If the facility were to obtain the certification, it will join other Airparkarea facilities, including the Arabian Library, the Gateway Access Trailhead, Brown’s Ranch Trailhead, the Cactus Acres fire station on Cactus Road, just

Christiana Moss is principal with Studio Ma. south of the Airpark, Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West and others with the certification.

LEED certification is growing throughout Arizona, as the state placed 10th in per-capita square footage in space built in 2014 for LEED certified space in the USGBC’s annual rankings.

The City of Scottsdale adopted a LEED Gold policy in 2005 for the construction and renovations of public facilities.

History

Anthony Floyd, manager of Scottsdale’s Green Building program, said green building policies emerged

from community visioning programs in the 1990s. Officials wanted mechanisms for builders and developers to build homes and commercial buildings to be more environmentally sensitive to the Sonoran Desert and the building’s occupants by using less hazardous and sustainable materials.

“We’re doing sustainable building in the desert,” Floyd says. “It’s not New York City. Our environment is different.

We needed a customized program for the desert. We all agreed we needed different guidelines.”

In 2012, the city adopted building codes including the International Energy Conservation Code and the International Green Construction Code.

Green building projects can be created by addressing through mitigation or other methods the summer heat island effect, transportation impact, resource efficient building materials and energy efficiency for the building’s envelope, mechanical equipment and lighting systems, water-efficient plumbing systems, daylighting for libraries, schools, offices, warehouses and retail areas 10,000 square feet or larger. Green buildings promote resource conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation.

Green building is voluntary, but the city has added incentives for residential builders in expedited plan reviews, green building inspections, lectures, workshops, a homeowner ’s manual, recognition on the city’s web site and free promotional green building materials.

Scottsdale issued 1,346 green permits out of 12,724 for single family homes between 1998 and 2015. That number represents only 11 percent of the total permits. Still, the city touts on its website that it is equivalent to removing 6,774 cars from operating on the road, and presumably, its carbon dioxide emissions. That number faired better for multi-family units, as green permits issued total 3,681 out of 10,784 multifamily units between 2003 and 2015 or about 34 percent.

Where the city oversees the green building program for residential and commercial buildings, LEED varies from that program by requiring thirdparty certification awarded through a point system by the U.S. Green Building Council. “We adopted LEED for the city to have another entity to overlook it, a third party to certify it, so it would not be a conflict of interest for us,” Floyd said. …continues on page 44 July 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Low flow saves on water

Popeck expects water usage to be the largest percentage savings at the airport operations center. The low-flow plumbing fixtures in sinks, faucets and showers will cut usage by an estimated 38%.

“We planned different design options for energy and atmosphere, and the building will be 24% more energy efficient (than the standard),” Popeck said. An insulated roofing system, wall system and HVAC system will add to the building’s efficiency, Popeck said.

Building materials were purchased from sources within 500 miles, which also

Paint, adhesive and other building materials had low-emitting VOCs. Those with high VOCs often give the “new house” smell. Some VOCs are known or known to cause cancer in humans, according to the EPA. “When you paint your living room of your house and you smell the paint, you smell the VOCs evaporating.”

“When you use a low VOC, you can’t even smell it.”

Popeck also worked on the Cactus Acres Fire Station No. 8, located at Cactus and 96th Street, just south of the Airpark.

That station included a solar hot water heater, low-flow water fixtures, roofmounted photovoltaics, gray water reuse from sinks and showers for irrigation, natural daylighting and recycled and low maintenance building materials. That $7 million building, certified in 2012, was estimated to save 58% in energy costs, above the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 energy standards, used as a benchmark for LEED projects.

Made in the shade

Christiana Moss, principal with Studio Ma, the architectural firm that oversaw Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, said that attraction incorporated biophilia, the tendency of humans to connect with other living systems, as a concept that follows the adaptation of a desert native: the saguaro cactus. Ribs on the cactus shade the plant from the sun’s intense heat, part of the saguaro’s adaptation to the desert over thousands of years.

Similarly, concrete ribs on the museum’s facade provide a vertical shade to the building’s exterior. “The ribs shade the building,” Moss says. “Any shade is extremely helpful.” A “woven” metal overhang on the second level also shades the building. Those innovations reduce energy use by 38%.

“It’s incredible when you shade a facade.

Your numbers (in your energy costs) just drop,” Moss said.

The 43,000-square-foot, two-story museum building was built and is owned

Jason Roehner

by the city of Scottsdale, and is managed and operated by Scottsdale Museum of the West, a nonprofit. It opened in January 2015.

With the certification, Moss estimates the building is 50% more energy efficient, much better than what she refers to as a “glass box” building.

Rainwater is collected from the roof and condensation routed from the HVAC system into a “weeping wall,” and bioswale (recessed planter) to a separate bioswale used to irrigate landscaping. “(Landscape architect) Colwell Shelor ensured that the water is all used and not running down the street, but used on plants,” Moss says.

Over 75% of nonhazardous debris from the building’s construction was recycled or salvaged. The building also used low-VOC materials and sustainably sourced products.

The market is changing for building materials, according to Floyd. “In the late ’90s, it was more challenging. The availability of materials was not there.

Because the materials were limited, it cost more.

“More companies have the materials and they are manufacturing the materials, so the price is lower.” Companies retool

Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West created shadows with a metal overhang and “ribs” on the exterior to increase shade. assembly lines to offer the product, and often revise the product so it is the only one they offer and mass produce it.

When the building’s life cycles, energy costs and water costs are considered, sustainable actually saves in the long run, according to Moss and Popeck.

“It is all about priorities,” Moss says.

“You can prioritize that. Some (building) owners may choose fancy materials and communicate different messages, or you can build sustainable. You can do a building at the same cost, instead of the marble and the decorative gold leaves.

You want to talk about how you have sustainability.” 

A Guided Tour Students take to the air

S

erial entrepreneur Dr. John Shufeldt, author of seven books, received such an overwhelming response from students and young professionals at one of his recent talks that he decided to hold a contest for them.

Four winners received prizes in late June: a helicopter ride at the Scottsdale Airport, a one-hour career counseling coaching session and lunch, and a signed copy of Shufeldt’s latest book, “LeadershipYOU.” Hosted by Outliers Publishing, the LeadershipYou Career Coaching event was created to provide guidance, mentorship and encouragement to students to pursue their personal and professional aspirations.

The event was created after Shufeldt spoke at TEDx ASU. Many students and young professionals attended and sought career guidance. Shufeldt told students to “think big” and avoid thinking that they are limited to a single career path.

The four winners, chosen randomly in a social media contest, were ASU students Nataly Banuel, Hannah Warren and Sharon Coburn, and Malique

Shufeldt gave the students a ride in his helicopter, then took them to a careercounseling session and lunch.

Coburn says Shufeldt was inspiring.

“He’s done so much with his life. Even when he failed, he got right back up and continued. It inspired me to continue to do what I love to do.”

Banuel says she learned “not to give up on my dreams, to follow things that I am passionate about, and if I’m ever uncomfortable, to keep moving forward “Shufeldt has published seven out of 17 Outlier Series books. Each book highlights traits and accomplishments of individuals he calls “outliers.” He is developing an online course and free classroom curriculum for high school and college educational professionals.

Shufeldt says everyone needs mentors to achieve goals. “I hope students who participated in this event will be encouraged to pursue their dreams—all of them.” 

The Heart and Sole of Comfort French-made Mephisto shoes sell themselves, Scottsdale shop owner says

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski When Martin Michaeli founded Mephisto shoes in 1965, he had one goal in mind: make the world’s finest footwear.

Aaron Dommin, who co-owns the Scottsdale Mephisto store at 7342 E. Shea Blvd., says mission accomplished, citing the company’s best walking advertisement: “Customers tend to be the best salespeople.”

“I don’t have to sell the shoes to someone new,” says Dommin, who has shared ownership of the Scottsdale shop with his brother, Sam, since 2013. “My established customers do that for me. They believe in the product. It’s a really good support shoe.”

The French brand boasts a top-notch line that provides support and comfort and promotes health of feet, backs and legs.

“We’re a European comfort brand,” Dommin says. “All of the shoes are made in Europe. The shoes and sandals last a

long time. A lot of companies use leather uppers, Velcro and buckle that tend to break after a couple of years. You don’t get that with our shoes.”

Mephisto shoes ease arch and foot issues, plantar fasciitis and neuropathy.

“That’s why we’ve been able to be here for 20 years,” he says. “Mephisto shoes work. If there was anything fake about them, we wouldn’t be here this long.”

Dommin concedes that the shoes are pricey, selling in the mid-$200s a pair.

“You get what you pay for, though,” Dommin says. “All of these other comfort shoes try to find a way to cut corners.

Mephisto doesn’t do that. We stand behind our shoes and sandals.

“After a year, if there’s something wrong with them, they will fix it, or, if they can’t fix it, they’ll replace it. Everyone who’s bought a pair is extremely happy with what they’ve purchased.”

Dommin, who has worked with Mephisto since 2005, says the company goes above and beyond to make the customer happy.

“They can be resoled,” he says.

“That’s a big key factor. If you find a shoe or sandal that works well and you find after seven or eight years that they don’t make it anymore, you can send it back to Mephisto.”

The resole costs $75 for sandals, $95 for shoes.

“It’s for all new support systems underneath your feet,” Dommin says.

“That’s another reason to invest in the shoes.”

Fresh and Green New restaurant sprouts in Scottsdale

M

ad Greens has opened its sixth location in the Valley, this time in the greater Scottsdale Airpark. According to co-founder Dan Long, this Mad Greens restaurant subscribes to the same belief as the others— provide tasty salads that are satisfying to meat eaters as well as vegetarians and vegans.

Diners at the restaurant located at the Scottsdale Horizon Center, 14850 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., are one of the first to try dishes with vegetarian chicken tenders, which are made of a plant-based protein.

Handcrafted to order, the John MacDonald salad has spinach, warm quinoa, grilled organic Piri Piri tofu—or Piri Piri vegetarian chicken tenders—

grapefruit, avocado, red onion and radish, with miso tahini dressing.

“I was trying to come up with a salad that would work great for vegans and vegetarians, but it would also be appealing and filling to meat eaters,” Long says.

Mad Greens, which donated $500 to the Boys & Girls Club Virginia G. Piper Branch, combines the speed and convenience of a fast-food restaurant with the higher-quality food of a traditional sit-down restaurant, Long explains.

Fast casual has become a trendy catch phrase with eateries popping up like Pei Wei, Shake Shack and Five Guys Burgers & Fries. However, Long says, his restaurants are different because Mad Greens offers items that are fresher and

healthier, but still served quickly.

Pizza Rewards Fired Pie launches app, loyalty program

F

ired Pie recently launched its new app available on iOS and Android devices. Users who download and link his or her credit card with the app through July 15 will be entered to win free pizza or salad for one year.

“People have been asking us when we are going to have a loyalty program and we can’t be more excited,” says Doug Doyle, co-owner of Fired Pie. “We worked

52 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

hard to get it just right.”

The Phoenix-based business has 15 locations across the state, including one in the Airpark.

The app streamlines the payment process for customers by allowing them to link a credit or debit card and pay using their phone. Free sodas, entrees and Pookies—ice cream served over a soft baked cookie—are earned the more the

app is used. With four different “club levels,” determined by how much is spent at Fired Pie, the prizes continue to grow as users rank higher in the app.

Consolidated Knowledge, based in North Scottsdale, controlled the app development by providing creative direction, strategic design, branded graphical assets and functionality to the developer, Level Up. “The approach my team took when laying down the ground rules for the Fired Pie app development was to ensure their brand identity and graphical standards were kept intact, paired with its functionality. When you achieve that balance, alongside loyalty rewards, social connectivity you have positioned the app and Fired Pie for success,” says Kristopher Mocny, chief creative officer for Consolidated Knowledge.

Those who sign up are automatically enrolled in the 100-Degree Club and treated, which translates to a complimentary soda, emails for events as well as the opportunity to earn $8 for every $100 spent. Free Pookies are given on birthdays for those who register. The 300-Degree Club level is achieved when customers spend $300 at Fired Pie and also includes a free Pookie and offers to private events. The credit earning potential increases from $8 to $10 for every $100 spent. The 800-Degree Club is reached when you spend $800 through the app. Those in this bracket earn $12.50 in credit for every $100 spent and receive a Fired Pie hat. The final level, the 1,500-Degree Club, is achieved at $1,500 spent at Fired Pie. Those in this level get a Fired Pie T-shirt, a complimentary catering package and are able to earn $14 in credit for every $100 spent.

“We have so many people who come in every day and we want to reward those who keep coming back and supporting local,” says co-owner, Fred Morgan.

The locally owned restaurant allows diners to take on the role of chef by picking and choosing your dough, sauce and topping. The restaurant also offers build-your-own salads.  Fired Pie 14740 N. Northsight Blvd.

Flight Delay

Drone operators wait for new FAA rules

By David Isaac

D

oug Andriuk says the Federal Aviation Administration is hindering his work.

As the founder of SkyDataPro, Andriuk uses drones to collect typographical data for large engineering and construction firms. Drones have revolutionized how such data is collected, but “the business has totally stalled because of the FAA.” “NASA put a man on the moon faster than the FAA can publish 100 pages of regulations regarding small drones,” says Andriuk, whose company is based near the Airpark.

A former Air Force Two pilot, Andriuk borrows the analogy from a friend who also owns a drone company and endures the same red tape. He says one of the biggest problems is the long lead times it takes to get FAA approval.

“We bought a new drone. We applied to use that drone. It was a safer drone than what we’d previously used. Yet, it took eight months to be approved,” he says.

Things may change, however. The FAA will soon issue new rules governing drones.

54 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

“We expect to finalize the small UAS rule in the coming weeks,” says Ian Gregor, public affairs manager of FAA’s Pacific Division. UAS stands for “unmanned aircraft systems”—essentially a fancy name for drones. The new rule “will apply to commercial operators, not hobbyists,” Gregor says.

This is welcome news for commercial drone operators like Mark Taylor, who owns Scottsdale-based Extreme Aerial Productions. The company he founded two years ago uses drones to capture aerial shots for Realtors, major automakers and TV networks like Discovery Channel and HGTV. The need for revised rules is particularly acute in Phoenix, whose many heliports, not to mention Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, has put all of downtown Phoenix off-limits to drones.

“You can’t fly as a drone operator at all downtown,” Taylor says.

Sarah Ferrara, aviation planning and outreach coordinator for Scottsdale Airport, said drones as a general rule cannot be

operated within a 5-mile radius of any towered airport without approval from the air traffic control tower.

But, she adds, that Scottsdale Airport as its own regulation regarding unmanned aircraft systems. It’s less strict, limiting use of such devices within 2 miles of the airport.

The new rules, once approved, should ease the certificate of authorization process.

FAA’s Gregor says the rule will, “in most cases, eliminate the requirement to get specific approvals to operate.”

More good news for those aspiring to fly drones professionally is that the new rule will eliminate the requirement for a Section 333 exemption. This refers to the airworthiness of manned aircraft under the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act. Some hire attorneys specializing in drone law just to navigate the petition process. Assuming the FAA grants the 333 exemption, there are still many requirements in place. For instance, a drone flown professionally must be done so by an actual pilot, a big barrier to entry for those

FAA Overreach?

Drone operators say weighed down with requirements FAA requires numerous rules for commercial drone operators. Some call it overreach. The FAA argues that its primary concern is safety.

Drone companies also need to get permission to fly in restricted air space.

This requires applying for a certificate of authorization, or COA, from the FAA. Andriuk says his company always receives approval, but it takes four to eight weeks. “Imagine you’re scheduling an oil change for your car and you’re told, ‘OK, come back in two months,’” he says. That’s what the FAA forces him to tell his customers, costing him business, he says.

Other FAA requirements include: 1) Notifying a control tower when flying within five miles of an airport; 2) Never flying within 500 feet of a building, or person who is a non-participant; 3) Obtaining a COA when flying in restricted airspace; 4) Submitting a NOTAM, or Notice to Airmen, 72 to 24 hours before every flight.

will require that an unmanned drone be kept in visual line-of-sight even though technology has provided effective means to fly beyond line-of-sight. “This new rule does not address that,” she says.

For recreational users, the requirements are less stringent. They are required to register their drones with the FAA. This can be done online and costs $5. The guidelines for flying drones are essentially the same as flying model airplanes. In fact, the rules were developed by the Academy of Model Aeronautics, an organization founded in 1936 and which has actually been around longer than the FAA. As there is no trade group or organization specifically geared to drones, the AMA has stepped in to advocate for recreational drone users, says Rich Hanson, AMA’s government and regulatory affairs representative.

“We believe that drones can operate safely and responsibly without overreaching regulation,” Hanson says. “And we have developed safety programming specifically for that type of activity within our own safety program.” The AMA’s lobbying

without a pilot’s license.

If the new rules are cleared, drone pilots won’t need an actual pilot’s license. Instead, the FAA will ask drone pilots to pass a written test and obtain an unmanned aircraft operator’s certificate. They will need to take a recurring test every two years.

Commercial drone pilots will still need to learn about aeronautics, says Sarah Nilsson, an attorney who created and teaches a course on global UAS law at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and is herself a pilot.

She agrees the current UAS rules are “cumbersome” and looks forward to the new regulations which she hopes will improve things. “But the law is still drastically behind the technology,” she says.

She points to the fact that the proposed rule

efforts were effective and Congress agreed to place recreational drone use under the current rules for model aircraft fliers.

The AMA has taken a leading role in educating drone users, developing together with the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) a website called Knowbeforeyoufly.org, which explains the rules for flying drones. A list of rules can be found on the site. In some cases, they resemble commercial flying rules. Pilots must contact an airport control tower if they’re flying within 5 miles of an airport or heliport, and keep the drone within sight at all times. The FAA is a supporting partner of the site.

But SkyDataPro’s Andriuk, while “cautiously optimistic” about the coming FAA rule changes, says that the City of

A drone from Extreme Aerial Productions hovers at a park for a beauty shot for a photographer.

Phoenix came down hard on drone users, even those who just want to fly for fun.

As a member of the Phoenix Area Drone Users Group, which is mostly made up of recreational users, he attended city council meetings. Despite the fact that “most drones are about as big as your hand and fly 50 feet or lower,” he says the city passed an ordinance requiring drone fliers to send notice prior to flying on city property, like parks.

At city meetings leading up to the ruling, Andriuk describes big companies like Amazon and Google demanding that there be no restrictions on their drones that deliver packages in the future, “no one was there to represent the little guy except our group,” Andriuk says. “We got steamrolled.”

In Scottsdale, a decision hasn’t been made about recreational users, according to Ferrara.

“In light of the new legislation, city staff is reviewing the topic and will likely make recommendations to the City Council in the near future regarding ordinance changes about operating non-commercial drones in city parks and the preserve,” Ferrara said.  July 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Income that continues long after the money runs out

By Thomas K. Brueckner, CLTC This article is part one of a three-part series

A

s our 50-something clients approach retirement, their ongoing needs can easily be broken down into three areas: accumulation, income and legacy. In this article, we will deal with guaranteed income for life, i.e., checks that keep coming at 92 even if the money runs out at age 85.

Guaranteed lifetime income: A case study

John is 68 and Mary is 62. Mary spent five years caring for her aging mother after her funds ran out at age 85. She died at 97.

Rather than retiring on time, John continued to work to help fund his mother-inlaw’s care during her last 12 years. John, who co-manages their investments with their stock broker, doesn’t want Mary to worry about investment strategy and risk exposure after his passing; he wants to ensure she has the financial peace of mind to live independently for the rest of her life. He also wants to ensure she has the funds to pay for assisted/long-term care if needed. While John is in great health, it is feasible Mary will outlive him given her mother’s longevity and their six-year age difference. They have two adult children with busy careers, and they don’t want to become a burden and impact their children’s ability to save aggressively for their own retirement.

Solution

After reading an article in the Wall Street Journal, which said that the adviser that got you to retirement is very often not the one to get you through retirement, John and Mary decided to meet with another adviser, Robert, who specializes in guaranteed lifetime income, something their stock broker had only done for other clients on two occasions. While encouraging them to maintain modest risk exposure on some of their assets for the long term, Robert introduced them to several innovative strategies that would provide John and Mary with a consistent and generous income, even if one or both of them lived past 100 years of age. Robert

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

explained that it was the insurance company backing these guarantees that would continue to send John and Mary a check long after their account value was depleted.

“If your previously atrisk dollars would have run out at your ages 88 and 82— it is the insurance company’s dollars that will keep you solvent from that point forward, guaranteeing that same income until the passing of the second spouse.”

Had John and Mary not chosen this option, their accounts could have also been impacted by a major decline in the stock market, where Robert explained the average bear market decline of the last 100 years has been -34%. “Losing a third to half of the money it has taken us 40 years to save was simply not an option; I want Mary to have financial security long after my passing,” explained John.

The details

As John is only 68 and can increase the size of his Social Security check by at least 16% by waiting, John and Mary have decided to wait until John’s age 70 to take the largest possible Social Security payout available to him. This was not about the likelihood that John would live long enough to make up the difference between what he would have gotten at full retirement age (66) and 70, it was much more about the fact that Mary would be entitled to his benefit, dropping hers at his passing, for the rest of her life, cost of living adjustments included.

Because John and Mary are not likely to need to turn to their guaranteed lifetime income until several years after John’s Social Security benefits begin, Robert introduced them to a creative formula for increasing their income base prior to turning on that guaranteed lifetime income.

As Robert explained it, the insurance company would give their GLWB (guaranteed life withdrawal benefit) a 5% bonus at inception, after which they would earn a small fixed guaranteed percentage each year (ex: 2%), in addition to getting 150% of whatever their market index earned each contract year. (Example: If the market was only up 4%, they would earn an 8% interest credit on 105% of the money.)

In summary, John and Mary have guaranteed themselves an ample income, knowing they will never become a financial burden to their children regardless of how long each of them lives, and that a decline in the stock market will have no bearing on that income.

If this case study resonates with you or someone you know, contact a qualified retirement specialist to evaluate your finances.  Thomas K.

Healthcare Professionals Six insights that can help lower the cost of office space

B

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

ecause healthcare professionals are healers, they tend to trust that colleagues are motivated by the same altruistic desire to help their fellow man.

The reality of commercial real estate, however, is that property owners are speculators whose primary objective is to lease or sell their investments for the highest prices possible; and listing agents and property managers are hired to make certain that happens.

The six insights presented below are intended to increase awareness of some seldom-discussed nuances of the commercial real estate industry; and help healthcare professionals and the managers of their practices make better-informed leasing and buying decisions.

1: It pays to shop around. Claims that “everyone else pays this amount” (besides being largely unverifiable) are irrelevant when deciding how much you are willing to pay to lease space or buy property.

2: Time can be your ally, or your enemy.

It generally takes five to 18 months to complete most medical transactions.

Astute practitioners plan well in advance and are continually looking for ways to reduce, or at least control, their operating overhead.

3: The negotiation process is, by definition, adversarial. That’s because people with opposing interests square off against each other—the property owner trying to determine the greatest amount the tenant/buyer will pay, and the tenant/buyer seeking the lowest amount the owner will accept.

4: Say less, save more. Property managers and real estate agents are the eyes and ears of the property owner. As it’s the seemingly innocent disclosures that can adversely affect your negotiating leverage the most, instruct your entire staff that all questions regarding your

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

current space or future requirements are to be referred to you or your real estate adviser.

5: Commercial leases are more complex than purchases. When leasing space, the medical tenant’s focus should be two-fold: first, on the condition and utility of the space, and second, on the overall costs of occupancy throughout the lease term.

6: Choose your real estate adviser wisely.

Your choice determines which properties you are made aware of and how much you will pay. Because you seek objective advice, eliminate any agents/ brokers who also list properties, as they have inherent and insurmountable conflicts-of-interest.

I urge all healthcare professionals to heed their own advice, and schedule annual real estate check-ups. In the final analysis, adequate preparation, unbiased information, and tenacious representation are the antidotes to overpaying.  Stephen A.

Scottsdale Leadership develops skills

W

By Mark Hiegel

e offer our Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce members great networking opportunities, business counseling and memberto-member discounts, and we also lobby for their interests. What we do helps strengthen individual companies and the entrepreneurial community.

We’re proud of those programs, but no business is an island. We’re all more likely to thrive in a great community than a struggling one, which is one reason Scottsdale is such a great place to start a company. Entrepreneurs who understand community issues increase their ability to make Scottsdale even better.

That’s why the Chamber was the original home of Scottsdale Leadership, an eight-month program that gives participants the knowledge, connections, skills and confidence to take leadership roles in the community.

The group is its own nonprofit organization, and each group continues to support the other. We have staff on Scottsdale Leadership’s board, and their executive director serves on the Chamber board.

Leadership doesn’t come naturally.

It must be developed, and Scottsdale Leadership is a key institution in doing just that.

Scottsdale Leadership educates participants through a great overview of the community and leadership. I encourage anyone interested in Scottsdale’s future to apply for Scottsdale Leadership’s core program. (I’ll be attending this year.)

Some Chamber members prefer a more focused approach in specific areas.

They can learn about issues and exercise leadership roles by serving on our Airpark, economic development advisory or public policy advisory committees.

These committees dig deep into an issue before advising our board of directors on how to attract or keep jobs, increase

Scottsdale’s quality of life or take a stand on legislation.

Knowledge is vital for business owners and company leaders to make good, smart decisions, so the Chamber also offers many events open to members and the general public. Recently members attended forums and listened as experts discussed and debated education, transportation, modern streetcar and medical marijuana issues. Audience members left with a better understanding of these issues and how various decisions may impact Scottsdale’s future.

Whatever decisions Scottsdale voters make, we’d rather see them based on facts, not talking points. That may take more effort than reading a meme on Facebook, but it builds a better community. That’s why later this year we’ll host candidate forums in advance of the mayoral and City Council election on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Yard signs just aren’t enough for voters to understand where the candidates stand.

As a chamber of commerce, obviously we also offer programs aimed specifically at business. We’ve offered a series of seminars on human resources topics, such as hiring practices, social media and legal issues, in a partnership with the Mountain State Employers Council.

We help members locate resources to help them improve their entrepreneurial and leadership skills, particularly through relationships we’ve developed with organizations like the Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) or the Arizona Small Business Development Center Network (AZSBDC).

We continue to maintain a close relationship with Scottsdale Leadership so that Scottsdale business can continue to be strong for decades to come.  Mark Hiegel is president and CEO of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce.

The litany of dispute resolution options can be confusing

By Greg Gillis, founding shareholder

D

ispute resolution is exactly what it implies—a method to have disputes resolved. There are a multitude of entities, forums and processes that can be used to settle a dispute.

Litigation is the one of which most are aware. It begins with the filing a complaint with the appropriate court. In Arizona, regional justice courts handle disputes under $10,000. Disputes in excess of $10,000 are handled by the applicable county superior court. In addition to these “state courts,” certain disputes (e.g., Miller Act payment disputes) are filed in federal court for the District of

Arizona. Litigation usually results in a judge making a decision resolving the parties’ dispute.

In Maricopa County, if the amount in dispute is less than $65,000, the case is subject to mandatory arbitration. Pursuant to Rule 72 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, an attorney licensed to practice in Arizona for more than five years is randomly selected to serve as the “judge.”

The case is then presented to this attorney serving as the arbitrator who makes the final decision resolving the dispute (subject to rights of appeal).

The mandatory arbitration requirement of superior court is separate and distinct from an arbitration provision that might be included in the parties’ contractual documents. Private parties may contract with a dispute resolution organization— such as American Arbitration Association (AAA) or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS)—to be the entity designated to resolve a dispute.

AAA is more commonly used in Arizona. In a dispute submitted to AAA for resolution, AAA will provide the biography of several potential arbitrators from its roster based on the background and experience of the arbitrators. The parties then will rank these potential arbitrators on order of desired preference.

AAA will select the arbitrator most preferred by all parties. That person then will serve as the arbitrator for the dispute.

The case is then presented (tried) to the arbitrator who, after hearing the evidence, makes a decision and issues an award.

A benefit of the arbitration process is that it can remain confidential as the filing commencing the arbitration (a demand for arbitration) and the arbitration proceeding itself are not matters of public record.

Once an arbitrator’s award is issued, the award can be confirmed in the superior court. Confirming the arbitration award has the effect of making the arbitration award a judgment of the superior court.

In Maricopa County, prior to a trial being set, judges require the parties to either participate in a settlement conference or a private mediation. Settlement conferences and mediations are not about a finding or ruling of which side wins and which side loses, but that both attempt to achieve a negotiated resolution acceptable to both parties. Neither settlement conference judges nor mediators have the power to force the participants to settle. However, because almost 95% of civil cases settle without a trial, a settlement conference or mediation can be the least expensive and most expedient option to achieving dispute resolution.  Greg Gillis is a founding shareholder of the firm of Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner.

Learn to Live Lifelong learning is a source of ‘JOY’

T

By Jen Smith

his month’s topic is near and dear to my heart: education. I am a perpetual student. When I’m not enrolled in an official course of some sort, I am reading at a mighty pace. There is so much to know, a plethora of information, facts and data galore, tips and tricks by the dozens, nuggets of practicality and deep wisdom waiting to be uncovered. The question is, “Where to start?”

Developing an annual training program, whether or not an employer requires it, is a great idea. A plan helps us to focus our energy so that we are acquiring the skills, training and experiences that align with our values and support our hopes and dreams. The challenge is often making the final choices—with so many options, it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of exploring opportunities without ever making a commitment. To counter that temptation, think about “JOY” as you consider the second half of 2016 and how and where you might engage in education and training.

J is for job. Think about your work.

What skills do you need to sharpen?

What changes in the legal environment could trip you up if you don’t catch up soon? What new technology could make your work so much easier, data more accessible and informative? What marketplace trends are you missing out on? What product knowledge could you mine for better sales? As you consider these questions, think about your uniqueness—what do you bring to the workplace that no one else can bring?

How do you build on that, polish it, nurture it?

O is for others. How can you improve your relationships—with family,

friends, colleagues, even yourself?

This one may be a bit tougher so sit back, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Just sit there for a few minutes.

Now ask yourself a few questions.

What causes me the greatest anxiety?

What gets in the way of connecting and communicating effectively? What feedback do I get or can I seek from the people in my life? What one skill might

change everything? It might be: learning to listen more deeply, writing more effective emails, managing time better, being less angry, being more engaged, forgiving a past wrongdoing, being more aware and grateful, using words (verbal and written) in a more impactful manner... well, you get the idea. The list is endless. It might be a hard or soft skill, but you can master it. You might find it through coaching, in a workshop or in a self-help book. Just find it.

Y is for you. What sparks your curiosity? What makes you smile just thinking about it?

Sky diving? Playing the piano?

Baking an awesome streusel?

Speaking fluent Spanish? Creating your own Zen garden in that ugly space out back? Then do that. Get outside the routine. Explore new territory. Find time for fun. It will empower everything you do.

Game on. Create your JOY.  Line of Sight would like to hear from you.

Sell your home quickly with a solid game plan

By Rod Dennis

Y

ou’ve just received notice that you’re being transferred to another state, and you’re supposed to report within 30 days. You don’t want to leave your spouse behind to take care of the kids, manage the household and take on the job of selling your home. Or you’re downsizing from a 4,500 square foot home to a loft or condo, and your closing is in six weeks.

If you find yourself in these or similarly stressful selling situations, don’t panic.

There are a number of time-tested steps you can take to secure a quick sale for the highest price.

Start by hiring a seasoned and

marketing based Realtor. If you interview a candidate that sells only several homes a year, cross that one off your list. A parttime, or average agent, practices the three 3 P’s: Put it on the MLS, Put in the Post, or For Sale Sign, and Pray.

Look for a professional who works with other brokers locally, nationally, and internationally. You’ll want a Realtor who knows the market and your neighborhood—and who can make certain your home is featured on the internet.

A great agent will also help you stage your home properly—something that’s essential to entice buyers. “To stand out, you’ll want to get rid of clutter, rearrange

“Your home will appear larger with a simpler design.”

As Mark Twain once said, “The only thing you can’t make twice is a good first impression.” That means you need to do anything and everything to ensure the first words out of prospective buyers’ mouths is “Wow.” Help them visualize your home as being theirs.

want your listing to pop out. That’s going to require superb photographs, video and a captivating description.

Your Realtor should hire a professional photographer to shoot at the best time of the day—either sunrise or sunset to bask your home in a warm glow. It’s also smart to include photos of the neighborhood and local attractions such as restaurants, shopping centers, health clubs, etc.

If you have pets, have your friends or neighbors watch them when you have a showing. No buyer wants a small pup at their heels as they walk through your house.

And remember to put away or relocate the dog bowls, kitty litter and other pet paraphernalia.

One of the last but obviously most important items is the selling price. Here is where a lot of sellers get defensive. They might say, “I’m not selling it for any less than x-thousand dollars. After all, I paid x-thousand for it seven years ago.”

It’s wonderful if your house appreciated twofold, but keep in mind that selling your home is a business deal. So put your emotions on the shelf. The fact is, your home is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it, not what you, your Realtor or an

appraiser thinks it is worth.

Your selling sweet spot is typically the first 30 days the home is on the market, although that will vary with the property’s price point. You’ll want to take advantage of this relatively brief window of opportunity Your Realtor should show you what comparable homes have sold for in your neighborhood and nearby.

It’s also valuable to look at average days on the market and the sale-to-list price ratio. Also consider visiting open houses so you can see your competition. After all that, if you insist on pricing above market value, understand that you won’t even get buyers through the front door.

Learn from the experiences of other home sellers. Implement these ideas and then sit back and relax, knowing you’ve done everything possible to get a quick sale at the highest price.  Rod Dennis is vice president of mortgage lending, for Guaranteed Rate.

JULY Business Horoscopes

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

ARIES 3/21-4/21 Now that planetary patterns have moved forward, it may be easier to complete a project by midmonth. There is a lot more positive energy, so take a more realistic and practical approach. Learn to be patient.

You will not achieve much if you rush or multitask. Avoid confrontations around July 19. Take a break from July 23 to July 31.

TAURUS 4/22-5/20 June was full of surprises and disappointments. That will make you focus more on your own opportunities this month. Money is a source of security to you, but expect to spend some on home-related interests.

The pace of worldwide events this month—economically and politically— will have an effect on your earning potential. Keep a close eye on what is happening in your industry. Your people skills will prove fruitful this month.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 You have the opportunity this month to set things right that went wrong in June. It is possible to end an agreement or seal a deal by midmonth. If you have not reached an agreement by the July 19 full moon, then take a new attitude and march on.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 This month begins with you winding down or taking time to work by yourself. The sun in your sign makes you more aggressive and motivated. The weeks of July 4 and July 11 are productive. Take some time off to revise, reconsider or eliminate methods or attitudes that are nonproductive. Add fun activities to your docket for good measure.

LEO 7/23-8/22 Your personal life will pick up by midmonth. Expect some of your affiliations or schedules to

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2016

be altered as you start the month.

Complete and confirm meetings, business arrangements, etc., before July 19. The sun entering your own sign on July 23 begins a three-week cycle of personal pleasure and home-related activities. Circle the week of July 14 as most productive, so put those creative ideas into play.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 Your work will be creatively demanding. Take advantage of every opportunity to advance or learn something new in the months ahead. Look for advancements in your industry. Expect to spend time on social networking. Don’t ignore any invites from July 15 to July 31.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22. Expect to be busy attending meetings, work-related gatherings and home/family functions.

Interacting with coworkers and clients can be demanding and requires you to put your diplomatic flair to good use.

From the new moon to the full moon (July 4 to July 19) is the best time to start a procedure and finish it by July 19. You can definitely use this time to restructure. July can be challenging, but socially satisfying.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/22 You seem ready to change directions, even in terms of your personal values. July may find you at pleasant and productive crossroads, but you need to finish your projects. A note of caution: risk taking and confrontations should be avoided between July 29 and July 31.

SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 Last month you put an emphasis on interactions with others. Sure, it was challenging but this will continue for the weeks ahead. You eventually may advance at your job, after some major changes.

The most progressive and rewarding

cycle begins the second half of July.

The clients with whom you connect are more permanent. The time is right to take action and move forward with your goals.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 You are putting aside your agenda and plans because of interactions with others. You can learn more by listening than by talking.

You are more about structure and order in business. The first few weeks of the month will be demanding at work. Others can be oversensitive, so expect to compromise. Enough of work; concentrate more on fun after July 15.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 This month has to be more productive for you. Use the weeks starting midmonth to early August to improve your positions or job offers. Do some research on what’s the coming trends and demands in your professional field. Some may want to switch careers. Your social connections may be more helpful than want ads or standard job searches.

You are a people person. Use your contacts and network from July 11 to July 31. Don’t overlook the potential for romance with a client or coworker.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Your professional “family” will be highlighted and emphasized in July, and where changes are taking place in the upcoming weeks.

You may appear more verbal than usual, as your confidence increases.

The new moon on July 4 favors a work-client relationship, allowing you to see where some improvements can be made. The pace of work may slow down a bit after July 25, so you can enjoy some artistic and fun events.

Early August brings clarity.
