Editor’s Note

Adventure Time

H

ave you ever read any Choose Your Own Adventure books? The game book series first hit shelves in 1979 and enthralled countless kids and teens during its height in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Stories are written in the second-person voice, making you the protagonist who faces different choices every few pages, each of which leads to more decisions with varying outcomes. Your character could be anyone or anything, and get into all kinds of crazy situations and suffer some strange fates – as insinuated in such titles as Space Vampire, Viking Raiders, You Are Microscopic, Snowboard Racer and Ninja Cyborg.

While reading about ourselves as ghost soldiers at Gettysburg or botanists battling man-eating plants may have been fun in our formative years, adults’ ideas of adventure are a little more refined: a day spent shopping, lunching with friends, taking a Scotch seminar or maybe practicing our golf swings in an air-conditioned place. That was the concept behind our Goods & Services feature on page 24 – choose your own Airpark adventure.

You won’t journey to Stonehenge or find any dinosaurs, but you will see some amazing (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) automobiles and encounter giant electronics Niki D'Andrea at peerless prices.

Executive Editor One of the most harrowing adventures we all face is surviving the searing Scottsdale summer. But Scottsdale’s not just hot, temperature-wise; it’s also sizzling with staycation deals at some of the city’s most exclusive resorts – palatial properties with oodles of pools and splash bars serving ice cold cocktails. Check out six of the coolest deals in the Airpark area, starting on page 32.

Speaking of heat, accuweather.com forecasts an average temperature in metro Phoenix this month of around 107 degrees Fahrenheit. According to farmersalmanac.com, the average temperature in the Valley in July 1967 was 92.9 degrees. The temperature isn’t the only thing that’s changed about the city over the past 50 years – check out historian Joan Fudala’s time capsule about Scottsdale during the 1967 Summer of Love (page 44) for a glimpse of bygone shops like the Happy Unicorn Company and newspaper advice from the period to parents, reassuring them that their children’s “hippie attitude” and long hair was just a phase.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when ice cream meets science, turn to managing editor Becky Bracken’s cool scoop on Creamistry (page 56). Becky also hit the new Vig McDowell Mountain, where you can stash your gear between your hike and your happy hour (page 49). We’ve also got the dish on Sauce’s new summer specials (mmm, pizza!) from freelancer Lara Piu on page 53. It’s all part of a dining section we expanded because we think choosing and enjoying food should also always be something of an adventure. It’s not exactly You Are a Shark or You Are a Millionaire, but it could still be epic.

Kona Grill comes to Scottsdale Quarter Kona Grill opened its fifth location in the Phoenix metro area on June 12, on the northeast side of Scottsdale Quarter.

The new location also serves as the test kitchen for new menu items and incorporates modern design elements with an upscale ambience, the company says. Guests can enjoy the main dining room, full-service bar, large indoor/outdoor patio, sushi bar and even an exhibition kitchen.

“We are so excited to open a Kona Grill in one of the top shopping and dining destinations in the Valley,” says Berke Bakay, president and CEO of Kona Grill. “Our commitment is to provide a unique dining experience with fresh, high-quality food and drinks and Scottsdale Quarter exemplifies those very attributes.”

The menu offers a large selection of “Kona Crafted” appetizers, salads, soups, flatbread, sandwiches, noodles, seafood, signature entrees and decadent desserts. Kona Crafted refers to the use of fresh, hand-selected ingredients, in addition to more than 40 different sauces made from scratch daily and handmade specialty cocktails created by expert bartenders. Additionally, fresh fish is flown in daily to Kona Grills across the United States.

Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Gate6.

Gate6 celebrates 20-year anniversary with new building in Scottsdale Airpark

Gate6 Inc., a digital marketing and media agency, unveiled its new location at 16624 N. 90th Street in the Scottsdale Airpark in May. Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane was on hand to help mark the occasion.

The bold new office space features walls covered in television screens to be used for video production and other operations, along with video game systems and a golf simulator. But the company’s goal remains the same: Produce groundbreaking solutions, provide a diverse set of resources, and facilitate consistent development.

“At Gate6, we work hard and play hard,” says Manish Mamnani, founder and CEO of the company.

Fascinations names new CEO and announces re-branding campaign Fascinations, the adult emporium chain known for lingerie and intimate toys, recently announced a new CEO – and a new direction and look for its stores. Troy Piazza, formerly of apparel company Bluestem Brands Inc. and Levi Strauss & Co., was announced as the new chief executive of Fascinations in May, and in June, the company unveiled its new, more mainstream image, which focuses on fashion and health and wellness.

The first store to feature the new interior design opened last month at the corner of Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard. There are still adult items and novelties, but they are secondary to the expanded clothing sections (which include everything from active wear to evening gowns) and the displays of health and wellness supplements, including hemp-based beauty products.

“We wanted a more welcoming, softer environment,” Piazza says, adding that health and wellness are an important part of the rebrand. “Our staff has undergone extensive training and education (on natural supplements). We’re going to continue growing this category, because it’s needed…

airparkbusinessnews Redirect Health launches insurance alternative

Families and individuals frustrated by traditional health insurance have a new option from Redirect Health – iEverydayCARE. “At just $105 a month, iEverydayCARE isn’t health insurance – it’s healthcare for people who are priced out of insurance and for those who are tired of paying more each year for fewer and fewer benefits,” says David Berg, co-founder of Redirect Health, a national healthcare company based in Scottsdale.

The monthly plan is $105 per person or $300 per family – with no deductible or co-pay. “Even those who do buy insurance are afraid to use it unless there’s a catastrophe, so they suffer through the flu, a sprained ankle or back pain to avoid the cost of the deductible or copay,” Berg says.

“Insurance is complex and expensive,” Berg adds. “iEverydayCARE is the exact opposite. It restores control over the system, gives people peace of mind and provides a much more satisfying healthcare experience.”

The program offers unlimited primary care, chiropractic care, preventive visits, labs and immunizations, as well as other services for special or other non-routine healthcare. For more information, visit redirecthealth.com/ieverydaycare.

Melanie Olson and Melissa Winchester have been named client managers, while Brandon Mimes and Ian Jamison are new assistant client managers, together bringing more than 35 years of experience to the company. The team will work closely with clients and the rest of the company to develop inventive solutions. 

ount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon? Groth Hillview Vineyard Chardonnay? Yeah, we’ll tap that – literally, thanks to the innovative vino vending machines at Sorso Wine Bar, which feature 32 ever-changing wines on tap.

But it’s not just the novelty of fermented grape juice from a spout that makes Sorso special. For those who’ve had long day at the office or an exhausting afternoon soothing cranky toddlers, Sorso Wine Room at Scottsdale Quarter provides a stylish space to catch your breath, spread your proverbial wings and enjoy some first-rate happy hour specials from 3 to 6 p.m.

If you’re feeling friendly, pull up a chair at one of the communal tables or snag your own in the airy dining room replete with low-slung

glasses at the same time, but the server will deliver them separately so you get a fresh glass when ready. The catch?

Two-for-ones are per person, so it’s not a buy-one-for-me, get-one-free-for-you deal for pairs or couples. But servers are attentive and they always make sure to get your last-minute order before happy hour ends.

The room has a sophisticated, contemporary vibe reminiscent of big-city bars and if you close your eyes, you might imagine you were in Chicago or New York – minus the honking taxi cabs, of course.

The happy hour food menu includes three for $10 bruschetta with a choice of Gorgonzola and honey; goat cheese and olive tapenade; roasted red tomatoes and avocado; sun-dried tomato pesto; and arugula and pesto with feta and tomatoes.

All choices are top-notch thanks to the crunchy toasted bread, but the creamy and tangy goat cheese paired with the salty tapenade really tingles the taste buds, as did the garlic-studded sun-dried tomato pesto topped with spicy arugula.

Other good happy hour choices: halfoff the ortaggio plate, a selection of fresh seasonal vegetables and hummus ($6); and half-off a trio of house dips and grilled, crusty crostini bread ($5).

“The Dip” at Sorso Wine Bar pairs well with just about anything.

More than 32 wines are available on tap at Sorso Wine Bar.

While not a happy hour special, the wine-on-tap makes a fun foray – just insert a self-serve card similar to a hotel key, place your glass underneath the displayed wine of your choice, push the button and get a sample (1.5, 3 or 6 ounces) to roll around on your tongue. It’s a great way to try out new wines without making a commitment to a full glass or bottle. No need to worry about how many samples you’ve imbibed – the card keeps a running tab.

Sorso stocks more than 150 varieties of bottled wines in its cellar, and for beer drinkers, Sorso pours 14 different craft

brews. It also features a weekday lunch special with lasting merit: From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., select any salad or sandwich on the menu and a glass of wine or draft beer for $15. And if you can’t drink at lunch, Sorso will let you defer your drink until after work. All you have to do is bring your lunch receipt. Now that’s a long, fine finish. 

Physicians found a pioneering addiction treatment clinic in the Airpark

By Amber Miles

A

rizona is ramping up its efforts to combat opioid addiction after Gov. Doug Ducey declared it a public health emergency, and a new outpatient clinic in the Airpark is taking a unique approach.

Blue Door Therapeutics entered the fight in May and purports to be the first clinic in the world to treat opioid addiction by combining traditional, naturopathic and alternative methods with medical cannabis.

Opioids are a class of drugs that includes heroin as well as prescription painkillers like oxycodone and fentanyl. Approximately 60 percent of drug overdose deaths involve opioids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which estimates 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose every day.

“It’s very rare now not to be someone who’s been touched by this,” says Blue Door medical director Dr. Frank Lovecchio, who has treated substance abuse disorders for more than two decades.

Although some physicians may view opioid addiction as a “lack of will,” Blue Door treats it as a disease, (Photo courtesy of Serendipit Consulting) Lovecchio says, and “there’s differ- Dr. Gina Berman became board ent ways to treat diseases.” certified in addiction medicine Blue Door clinicians treat opioid in 2015. dependency and addiction in an outpatient setting, offering a variety of treatment options that they combine to create individualized plans for each patient. Their “multi-pronged approach” includes traditional medication-assisted treatment and counseling, as well as naturopathic therapeutics like nutritional supplements and alternative methods like acupuncture or cryotherapy, Lovecchio says.

22 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2017

The clinic also incorporates physician-monitored cannabis.

“We really work to look at the whole person,” says the CEO and co-founder of Blue Door, Dr. Gina Mecagni Berman, who became board certified in addiction medicine in 2015.

Prior to that, Berman worked as an emergency room physician for 10 years and served as medical director at Giving Tree Wellness Center, a (Photo courtesy of Serendipit Consulting) medical marijuana dispensary, where Dr. Frank Lovecchio has treated she counseled patients on treatment substance abuse disorders for options for their conditions and more than two decades. noticed patients used cannabis to get off other medications – predominantly opioids, she says.

Berman began to assemble the Blue Door team in January 2016 and received approval from the Arizona Department of Health Services in March 2017. A couple months later, Blue Door opened its temporary location in North Scottsdale after raising more than $2 million dollars in private placement funding. A permanent location is expected to open in North Scottsdale this fall.

The clinic serves anyone struggling with opioids – from slight physical dependency to severe addiction – except pregnant or pediatric patients, Berman says, because those individuals require a level of care that Blue Door cannot provide.

Berman says physician-monitored cannabis can help individuals struggling with opioid dependency or addiction by contributing to the alleviation of sleep problems, constipation, depression and withdrawal symptoms.

Cannabis can also provide an alternative to opioids for pain relief in patients with chronic pain, according to Blue Door medical director and co-founder Dr. Ravi Chandiramani.

As recent as a year and a half ago, Chandiramani says, he would have viewed the use of medical cannabis to treat opioid addiction as the substitution of one drug for another, but he changed his position after learning more about cannabinoids, the chemical compounds in cannabis that act upon cannabinoid receptors in human cells.

“Education really is key in having people understand,” Chandiramani says.

“You can argue that, you know, cannabis is substituting one drug for the other, but… that is what traditional treatment typically is,” Lovecchio says, explaining traditional treatment for opioid use disorder involves giving a patient methadone or buprenorphine for a short period of time.

Physicians at Blue Door cannot prescribe cannabis or issue medical marijuana cards, but they can identify patients who may benefit from the treatment and then recommend it, Lovecchio says.

Addiction is not a qualifying condition for a medical marijuana card in Arizona, so patients need to have a condition that does qualify in order for Blue Door to consider recommending medical cannabis. Blue Door physicians then may recommend it if a patient is willing and does not have any other conditions that might complicate its use, such as cardiovascular disease or hypertension, Berman says, noting that cannabis can temporarily increase blood pressure and heart rate.

Blue Door will not incorporate cannabis in the treatment plans of patients who do not qualify for medical marijuana under Arizona law. Chandiramani adds that patients who have had negative side effects from cannabis in the past or who do not want to use cannabis also will not receive a cannabis recommendation.

“Not all patients want to use cannabis, and they definitely don’t have to,” Berman says.

Having so many tools at Blue Door enables the physicians to create an individualized treatment plan – with or without cannabis – that optimizes the care of each patient, Chandiramani says.

Recovery from opioid dependency or addiction requires intensive care, according to Berman, so Blue Door physicians are available to their patients after regular business hours via consultations or text messaging.

Blue Door also works toward involving a patient’s support system while adhering to HIPAA regulations and respecting patient privacy. Providers cannot broadcast that an individual has come to the clinic, (Photo courtesy of Serendipit Consulting) but they do require patients to Blue Door physician Ravi sign a waiver that allows Blue Chandiramani says “education Door to share information with really is key to having people at least one other person, such understand” medical cannabis. as a friend or family member, Lovecchio explains.

Blue Door fills a “huge need in the medical community,” Lovecchio says, because “it’s very, very tough to be addicted to medications in Arizona and get help.” Nationally, Arizona ranks 50th of 51 for prevalence of mental illness and access to care, he explains, citing 2014 data from Mental Health America.

This ranking indicates Arizona has a high prevalence of mental illness and a low rate of access to care.

“Two years from now,” Chandiramani says, “I’m confident that I’m going to be able to say that this was a game- changer.” 

Drive a sweet sports car: Buying a classic muscle car or luxury sedan isn’t just for bidders at Barrett-Jackson auctions. The folks at Luxury Auto Collection (luxuryautocollection.com) also appreciate the art of haute automobiles and their inventory is nothing to shake a stick at (unless you’re shaking a massive stick crammed full of old $1,000 bills). The most expensive car in the Luxury Auto Collection in late June was a black 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with gullwing doors, listed at $479,000.

Or a serigraph of a crude but brilliantly colorful cartoon face from the mind of Ringo Starr? Music fans can wander a wonderland of one-of-a-kind art and signed memorabilia at Rock Star Gallery (rockstargallery.net). This eye candy emporium embedded in Kierland Commons sets up thoughtful gallery displays of cool visual art works by famous players – including Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood’s paintings of other rock stars, Janis Joplin’s black-and-white line drawings and rich watercolor landscapes by Jimi Hendrix – in addition to displaying a museum-like inventory of collectibles like signed guitars and RIAA-certified platinum albums.

Redfield Road, to accommodate even more shipments of things like 18 pallets of new 40-inch TVs with imperfect packaging. Big-box stores reject them based on damage to the boxes, so Best Deal in Town gets them discounted and sells them at 20 to 40 percent off retail, mostly in bulk to bars including Craft 64 in Old Town Scottsdale and various Tilted Kilt locations.

The stores also sell Apple products, including MacBook Pros, Yamaha and Denon receivers and TV mounts. The best deal that Best Deal in Town had in June was a 60-inch Samsung for $600.

Chief operating officer Jeffrey Hoodzow says Samsung is the most popular brand they sell, but they can meet anybody’s TV needs.

“Customer service is what we’re strong at," Hoodzow says. “We’re the biggest little company in town. We’re big enough to handle all your needs, but we’re small enough to care about them.”

Keep it quick and light: For those who may be meeting for lunch and have to head back to the office, Greene House at Kierland Commons (foxrc.com/ restaurants/the-greene-house) provides a breezy dining experience with an indoor-outdoor vibe and a healthful menu of light California cuisine.

The new Scottsdale outpost of Old Town favorite The Mission (located in Kierland Commons) also makes a great place to spend an afternoon over terrific tequila-based cocktails and Latin cuisine.

And on the third floor of the building, there’s an acre and a half of outdoor space with views of the McDowell Mountains and basically all of metro Phoenix.”

Then there’s its proximity to all of Scottsdale Airpark’s shopping destinations and upscale residential communities. “It’s close to Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and Scottsdale Promenade, which appeals to the live-work-play preferences of the Millennial workforce,” Mast notes.

“You’ve got the North Scottsdale home residential market, which is a big draw to high-level executives. And then you’re also surrounded by other big corporations – HonorHealth, Vanguard, Fender, Axon and others – which bodes well for more big business.”

A lesser-known advantage to corporations considering settling near the Airpark is its proximity to a large concentration of professional service firms, or PSFs, a broad sector which comprises a variety of occupations – from law, accounting and general management consulting to I.T. and R&D – that provide support to other businesses.

The Airpark is a business center teeming with bankers, lawyers, techies and other professional services that represent a growing, if often overlooked, tertiary sector of the Valley’s economy. Last year, professional

“It really comes down to the people you’re working with, and not necessarily the overhead or the size of the organization.” services jobs – engineers, architects, lawyers, accountants and consultants, as well as real estate brokers – experienced the largest year-overyear increase, at 16.8 percent, of any field, topping retail sales (12.3 percent) and tourism-related industries (10.9 percent), according to the Arizona Department of (Photo courtesy of Andrea Aker) Revenue.

Andrea Aker, CEO of Aker Ink, specializes in marketing profesBut because such jobs deal sional service firms to other businesses. largely in “intangible products,” selling knowledge and expertise rather than physical goods, PSFs one ever sees – except for the savvy business tend to operate almost invisibly. In North leaders who wisely utilize their services.

Scottsdale, in particular, there are scores of “I think it is a marketing advantage to talented financial advisers, engineers and have all those professional services around consultants working out of their homes in here that could potentially service corporate Silverleaf, Grayhawk and DC Ranch that no tenants,” Mast says. “That’s not usually

a hot point, but this area is a huge hub for financial and investment services. I think it’s a plus that those professional services exist in this area.”

But how do you make corporations aware of all of North Scottsdale’s purveyors of intangible services that, almost by definition, operate in the economy’s ether? How do you let the next multinational company looking for an affordable American stronghold know that Scottsdale Airpark is already staffed with enough professionals to effectively navigate the locale’s specific IT, financial and legal networks?

That’s where an expert in public relations marketing – ironically, yet another professional services field in itself – comes in.

“I think the use of home-based consultants is growing across almost every industry right now,” says Andrea Aker, CEO of Scottsdale’s Aker Ink, which specializes in marketing PSFs to other businesses. “With technology and video conferencing capabilities, it’s so easy to work around the globe, really. I have some clients whom I’ve never even met in person, and they find me through referrals or through reputation. And we have wonderful working relationships – even though it’s all done through email or over the phone.”

Aker’s team focuses much of its attention on connecting professional services firms with larger businesses that need a little help in areas their offices may not be staffed to handle themselves.

“Often when you have large companies, certain departments will work with consultants or freelancers or other small boutique businesses in their local area to support either some local initiative that they may not be able to do at their corporate offices, or else to just help them settle into the land here,” she says. “We also help local firms drive awareness of their professional services in other parts of the country.”

Aker’s company has done just that for Airpark-based PSF Redirect Health, helping the innovative healthcare solutions provider expand from Arizona to 21 other states, using marketing in trade publications to grow awareness and goodwill beyond its home base. Other Airpark PSFs, like boutique IT consulting company Paradigm Technology, have grown by partnering with other businesses in the cloud. The Scottsdale-based firm now operates a regional office in Chicago.

“Arizona is known for its small-business climate, but a lot of the small businesses here have a huge reach and they’re just as capable of performing services on par with companies in New York or L.A. or Chicago,” Aker

says. “It really comes down to the people you’re working with, and not necessarily the overhead or the size of the organization.”

As a professional services provider herself, Aker says she learns about other PSFs through referrals from existing and previous clients and from other people on her team.

“I think a lot of it is relationship-based and word-of-mouth. It’s really important to be involved in the community.”

Could the Airpark have enough professional services providers scattered around its community to fill a building like the Henkel headquarters? Consolidating the area’s leading accountants, engineers, lawyers, IT specialists and management consultants into a kind of mini-mall of intangible assets would be a stunt that could put the Airpark on the map as a leader in talented human capital – and possibly help the state ride the wave of investor interest in companies that deal in data rather than in manufactured goods, which some economists view as the true future of American trade.

For the team at CBRE, filling the Henkel building with professional services firms is an option Mast admits might be worth considering – “Obviously, there are a lot of financial and investment services in this area,” he says, “so we’ll definitely have a lot of interest from those groups” – although they’re clearly focused on bigger fish.

“There’s been a lot of interest on the biotech side and the education side, as well as from companies wanting to set up medical offices or a data center,” Mast emphasizes.

“This building has true office and R&D space, so it can accommodate multiple uses very easily, which is very unique. So we’re casting a very wide net across the country and around the world looking for the best new buyer.”

Still, with manufacturing today accounting for only 8.5 percent of total U.S. employment and economists looking toward exportable services like scientific research, finance, insurance and IT engineering as the fields where the country has a true advantage, it might be time to establish the Airpark as a desert mecca of professional services.

“This is where a lot of those businesses end up,” Mast observes. “And I also think that’s how these service hubs build. They like to be around other professional services; they all seem to congregate around each other.”

Who knows? If the Airpark is ready for its own SkySong of knowledge economy leaders, it couldn’t do better than Bruder’s “crystalline cloud.” 

Six Superb Staycations Why be a tourist when you can be a resortist?

By Becky Bracken and Niki D’Andrea

L

et’s just get the obvious out of the way. It’s hot. Like cook-eggs-on-thesidewalk hot. There’s no denying it or trying to pretend otherwise. But Valley residents know all the best tricks to keep their cool, no matter how jawdropping – and sweat inducing – those triple-digit summer temps get. One crucial go-to summer life hack for experienced desert inhabitants is taking advantage of North Scottsdale’s top-notch resorts,

particularly during the most sweltering of summer days when the rates are low, the drinks are flowing and the pool is the only refuge from the heat.

In fact, according to Stephanie Pressler, community affairs manager for Experience Scottsdale, more than a third of resort visitors during summer months are staycationers.

“According to Experience Scottsdale’s 2015 Visitor Industry Customer Analysis,

35 percent of summer visitors are Phoenixarea residents,” she says. “Los Angeles is our second largest market for summer visitors at 9 percent.”

With so many Valley residents heading to North Scottsdale’s resorts over the summer, here’s a handy guide for staycationing like a pro and how to choose among the ample, incredible properties and experiences available right in your own backyard.

Hyatt Regency Gainey Ranch Hyatt Regency Gainey Ranch is a playground for all ages.

Totally beachin’ playground The scene: Hyatt Regency Gainey Ranch is like an island in the middle of the city – in addition to its ten pools (including an adults-only pool with grotto bar), there’s a white sand beach complete with a fun zone featuring sandcastle competitions, giant Jenga, chess and Connect Four; a putting green; shuffleboard; Ping-Pong; and a playground for kids. But really, this resort makes a playground for all ages. Did we mention the water volleyball, rock-climbing wall, laser tag and selfie scavenger hunts?

The specials: Summer rates run $149-$225 per night through September 9 (regular rates range from $322-$462 per night).

Mention the “Splash into Summer” package when booking to receive a $50 resort credit and complimentary self-parking.

Insider tip: The resort’s Center Stage Bar features live, local music every night of the week – it’s the only hotel bar in town that does. Performers range from acoustic rock-folk singer-songwriters to smooth jazz trios.

The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch Rock ‘n’ roll water park The scene: Poolside’s the place to be.

Though it retains its sprawling classic hacienda aesthetic, The Scottsdale Resort got a $10 million facelift last year, including the brand-new McCormick Pool, which feels like a water park, boasting features such as a centerpiece star fountain, a pedestrian bridge with a purple-lit fountain underneath and splash pad spouts around the kiddie pool.

While the resort’s restaurant, Kitchen West, serves American fare in a refined dining room, Twisted Vine Bar & Grill provides poolside food-and-beverage service (the Sonoran chili dog pairs well with a pitcher of Arizona craft beer), while the Mark Long Band plays classic rock covers. On Friday and Saturday nights, the resort projects music movies like The Buddy Holly Story and Walk the Line on a huge screen by the pool.

The specials: Through Labor Day, the resort offers rooms starting at $99 per night plus a $29 daily resort fee (a significant

savings over high-season rates of around $229 per night). Use promo code DDFLT7 when booking. Summer specials at the resort’s Luna Spa include a 50-minute strawberry rhubarb facial for $89 and a 50-minute “Crescent Moon Cold Stone Massage” for $89 (regular price for each: $149).

Insider tip: Unlike many Scottsdale

resorts, The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch has ample parking, both self-parking in the sun and valet parking in a garage – at no additional charge.

JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa Cool “club” scene

The Griffin Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa provides a VIP experience.

(Photo by Rich Jones)

The scene: An oasis of lily pad-laced lakes in the middle of the McDowell Mountains, JW Marriott Desert Ridge offers all the amenities of a high-class resort – golf courses (two 18-hole championship greens designed by Arnold Palmer and Nick Faldo), spa, a ream of restaurants (Stone-

grill, Meritage, Twenty6 Lounge, Roy’s Restaurant and Spa Bistro), and pools (five of them!) – and then some. “Then some” is the Griffin Club (an extra $75 per night), an all-inclusive, exclusive space for guests age 21 and older that features hors d’oeuvres, chef-prepared meals, drinks (including the

resort’s signature Twenty6 Golden Ale, made by Flagstaff-based Mother Road Brewing Co.), desserts, Wi-Fi, and access to Revive Spa. The specials: With high-season rates beginning around $529 per night, JW Marriott Desert Ridge’s summer sales (valid through September 9) are sweet indeed.

The resort’s trio of staycation specials consists of a golf package (starts at $179 and includes unlimited golf), a spa program (from $199, featuring a 50-minute massage plus 25 percent discount on additional spa services) and a “Margarita Package” from $159 (complete with two hand-crafted margaritas per night).

Insider tip: If you add the Griffin Club onto your stay, you will have access to unlimited drinks until 10 p.m., and you can take those drinks anywhere on resort property.

There’s plenty to keep kids entertained at the Princess.

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Full service with flourish The scene: The five-star Fairmont Scottsdale Princess aims to be as full service and luxurious as you can imagine. Actually, maybe even a little more luxurious than you can imagine. The 64-acre grounds are lush and expansive enough to lose yourself in a world far more lovely and manicured than anything beyond the resort’s gates. For families, the Princess offers activities to keep kids busy while parents relax, like a poolside story time with Moon Mermaid and a pirate who directs games for kids and is the spitting image of Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. He’s even armed with a squirt bottle to keep the kiddos cool while they play.

For adults, there are plenty of options to choose from, even a “Mermaids and Mai Tais” experience in the spa’s rooftop pool.

Fine-dining options include Bourbon Steak

by Michael Mina and the out-of-this-world elevated Mexican cuisine of La Hacienda by Richard Sandoval. Weekend evenings wrap-up during the summer months with a full-on fireworks display best viewed from the property’s lagoon.

The specials: During summer months, you can pay less than half the peak-season rates for a room at the Princess. In addition to the typical summer specials, this summer marks the resort’s 30th anniversary and they’re celebrating with the Summer Splash 30th Birthday Bash, which includes $30 food-and-drink specials and spa treatments, in addition to regular events and attractions like dive-in movies.

Moon Mermaid reads stories to kids by the pool.

Insider tip: The in-room provided Le Labo Rose 31-scented shampoo, conditioner, soap and moisturizer are ridiculously high quality and leave behind a luscious rose scent. Don’t forget to indulge. Also, if you treat yourself to La Hacienda for dinner, don’t skip the flaming coffee with dessert. It’s quite a show.

Westin Kierland Resort & Spa Wave runs and summer fun The scene: Steeped in Scottish history, the Westin Kierland puts a subdued, contemporary spin on North Scottsdale’s resort landscape. While there are still a few brave souls willing to hike the golf course in June, most of the resort’s summertime action is centered on their monster Adventure Pool for kids and families and the tranquil adults-only pool near the resort’s spa. The Adventure Pool is the place for Freezin’ Fridays with games, live music, unlimited s’mores, an extended poolside menu, two-for-one frozen drinks and discounts on rides on the resort’s FlowRider, which simulates surfing and boogie boarding. The Adventure Pool also has a killer lazy river and two monster water slides. On Saturday nights, they hold the Polar Plunge at the

Adventure Pool and drop hundreds of pounds of ice in the water. For adults, the Scotch Library hosts tasting events on Friday nights. Every evening features bagpipes at sunset.

The specials: This summer, Westin Kierland Resport & Spa is offering a Big Chill Package that includes credits for dining and FlowRider sessions. Big Chill rates start at $149 per room, per night.

Insider tip: Float the lazy river with a cocktail and when you need a refill, just use one of the bungees provided to dock at the full-service, float-up bar and never leave your inner tube.

Scottsdale at Troon North offers a staycation that will make you feel like you’re miles away from the everyday.

ocated on the Columbia and Willamette rivers with views of stratovolcano Mount Hood, Portland is the largest city in Oregon and home to growing cultural and culinary scenes. Nicknamed “PDX,” “Rose City,” and “Stumptown,” among other things, this is a city of plenty: Twelve bridges span the Willamette River, which flows north through downtown; according to oregoncraftbeer.org, there are 84 breweries in the Portland metro area; and quora. com lists more than 3,500 restaurants in the city. It’s also served by five various flight facilities, including general aviation Mulino State Airport, located roughly 20 miles south of Portland.

Downtown Portland is packed with places to get great food and drink, browse and buy one-of-a-kind items and catch cultural displays and performances. A good starting point is Pine Street Market (pinestreetpdx.com), a massive, multi-stall locavore food hall in the old Carriage & Baggage Building (constructed in 1886).

Financial

GPS Money Wise helps retirees get where they want to go

By Amber Miles

T

ending to one’s financial future is similar to planning a road trip to an unfamiliar destination, financial advisor Cristina Acosta says. A detailed financial plan is like a retiree’s GPS – it guides them through unknown territory to their ultimate destination.

“You need to have a plan in place so you make sure you get to where you want to be in the future,” Acosta says.

Acosta and fellow financial advisor Nancy Fromm founded Money Wise in 2008 to provide people nearing, or in, retirement with a financial GPS system of their own.

The pair met in 2006 on a flight to Hawaii and realized they were on their way to the same convention. Both had private practices at the time – Fromm in Central Phoenix and Acosta in Mesa. Together, they founded Money Wise in Scottsdale after working cases together and learning they share similar business ethics and objectives.

“We work incredibly well together, and it just gets better and better,” Fromm says.

Acosta and Fromm stress the importance of planning for the transition to retirement rather than just investing and accumulating assets. Many of their clients initially contact them for a second opinion and ultimately switch to Money Wise because of the preparation strategies they provide, Fromm says.

“They have a bunch of investments but they don’t have a plan that can get them from Point A to Point B with predictability and certainty, and that’s where we come in,” Acosta says.

Although they work with both men and women, Acosta and Fromm “specialize in the unique planning needs of women,” Acosta says. These needs include circumstances such as divorce or outliving husbands. She adds that women also appreciate the education Money Wise offers.

As a for-profit business, Money Wise cannot accept everyone as a client, Acosta says. Clients need assets in order to work with the firm, Fromm explains, because a financial plan cannot be created without assets.

However, the pair offers classes to the general public so people – including non-clients – can be more aware of what to look for in an advisor and how to approach their financial future, Fromm adds.

Overall, giving clients a “total well-being” is Fromm and Acosta’s main goal, the pair says. “We can work our whole lives trying to gain our wealth and sacrifice our health, and then if we don’t take care of ourselves, later in life, we can spend that wealth… just to try and regain our health,” Acosta says, adding that women, in particular, have that problem because they tend to take care of everyone else first.

Money Wise’s commitment to transparency sets it apart from other firms, Fromm says. “We’re very transparent in the way we plan, so [clients are] going to understand exactly where their investments are being put.”

Acosta, Fromm and the Money Wise staff serve approximately 350 clients in the Phoenix area. For more information, visit moneywiseaz.com or call 480-556-6600. 

n life, as in books, you never know when a small act will twist the plot and change the characters’ life stories. So it was when Patricia Brooks, author of Gifts of Sisterhood, placed a four-line ad in the Arizona Republic announcing a potential writer’s group for women.

Sixteen women she’d never met showed up. “They had all these great ideas and they were excited,” Brooks says. “[They said], ‘This is what I’ve been looking for. I write alone. I write at night after my kids or my husband goes to bed. I write at 5 in the morning before I go to work. And I don’t have anybody to talk to about my writing.’

I knew I had to do it.”

That was 12 years ago. Now the Scotts-

dale Society of Women Writers (SSWW) has grown to about 75 members.

About half are published – most of those self-published. They meet monthly at Starfire Golf Club to eat a buffet dinner and learn from a speaker. Brooks brings in a diverse range of lecturers, including prominent local novelists, an audiobook specialist, an intellectual property lawyer, a time management expert, children’s book writers and book marketing gurus.

“Every single time, you get your brain stretched,” says longtime member Kebba Buckley Button, author of three books on stress management and meditation. “We learn about the habits of successful writers [and] what the publishing industry is doing now.” She says a recent speaker, an expert on selling books through Amazon, “left us open-mouthed.

It’s amazing when somebody fills you in on things you didn’t know you really ought to know and never would have dreamed of asking.” But Buckley Button’s favorite speaker is Betty Webb, a mystery author with white hair and a Miss Marple twinkle who once stood in front of the group with her hand on her hip and said, “What you need to know is: I like to kill people for a living.”

SSWW members also run four monthly critique groups, which

have helped members hone a litany of books including Brooks’ second memoir, Three Husbands and a Thousand Boyfriends. In addition, members regularly donate books to a local women’s charity. Plus, Brooks sends out newsletters announcing writing conferences, workshops and festivals, which the members often attend together.

Thanks to the writerly camaraderie, many SSWW members have experienced their own character arcs. Five years ago, one woman was too shy to step up to the microphone and introduce herself. Now she’s written a book and is starting a critique group in her Toastmaster’s Club.

The support and sisterhood is why Brooks says she’s missed only two meetings – a decade ago – and will never miss another. “I can’t imagine [not doing it] now that I’ve done it for 12 years… It’s such a positive in my life. These women have become such great friends.”  Annual dues are $50, plus $30 for the dinner/speaker meetings, held on the last Wednesday of each month. Visit scottsdalesocietyofwomenwriters.com.

Onyx body spa touts a cool sculpting alternative

hape up while lying down. It’s not just a pipe dream, according to Julie Brassfield, owner and operator of Onyx Body Shaping & Slim Spa. She’s determined to show people she can help them lose weight and improve their health, all while they lie comfortably in one of her aromatherapyscented treatment rooms.

It’s called Electro-Slim Technology, and in order to demonstrate its power, Brassfield hooks me up to her Madame Et Monsieur machine and shows me the process.

What is this machine, you ask? In short, it’s the conductor of Electro-Slim, a software program that emits pulse waves through skin-contact electrodes that cause muscles to contract, with the purported benefit of building muscle and reducing fat.

The first Madame Et Monsieur Electro Body-Sculpting salon was started in South Africa by Ria and Robey Taute. The couple eventually expanded their business to the United States. Onyx, Brassfield says, is the only salon in Scottsdale that offers the Madame Et Monsieur technology, which promises, according to the company’s website, to help users “get a firmer, smoother, toned body in a fast, effective and healthy way with no harmful side effects.”

Brassfield got to know the Tautes, who now live in Las Vegas, and studied their approach.

She hopes she, and her salon, can capture some of the growing popularity of electro

body-sculpting, which has been featured on national TV shows and magazines, including an endorsement by the high priestess of wellness herself, Oprah.

“This first 20 minutes is to improve circulation,” Brassfield says as she sticks electrode pads on my shoulders, where I told her I have the most tension, since I’m a bona fide desk jockey. “It’s like a deep massage.”

She continues to apply electrodes to several other spots -- lower back, love handles, tummy and thighs. She explains the idea is to place the electro pads on the spots you’re looking to firm up and work out.

Once she turns on the machine, 10 electro pads start flexing and relaxing muscles I had, frankly, forgotten were there. Think deep core muscles and mid- to lower-back areas, which aren’t always easy to work out with typical exercise and everyday activity.

This kind of passive exercise doesn’t just have benefits for the gym-averse set; it can also provide critical support for those with limited mobility, or even those who want to supplement their existing exercise and wellness regimen, according to Brassfield.

She says almost anyone could benefit from Electro-Slim treatment. Many of her clients are professional women who use their lunch hours to get a treatment and work on specific areas of concern.

A: If your all-cotton or linen garments seem to wrinkle more quickly in the heat, adding some starch may help. On your dry cleaning items, ask for sizing, which will add body and keep the fresh-pressed look longer.

“They lay here with their phones or laptops and answer emails,” she says.

Then it’s time for the second phase of the treatment, a 20minute detoxification. “You know how certain high-pitched tones can shatter glass?” Brassfield asks. “Well, this protocol acts the same way on the walls of your fat cells; it breaks them apart.”

Perfect, I think. Crank it up.

The sensation under the Electro-Slim pads moves from muscle flexing into waves cascading through my body. I lie there, in the dimly lit room imagining all of the toxins being driven from my body by the pulses of electricity. It was truly pleasant and relaxing.

At this point, Brassfield starts massaging my feet with essential oils she selected to help me with focus. She also talks about her approach to overall wellness, which is a little sprinkle of woo-woo on top of a whole lot of sensible, practical advice your mom would dispense: Drink water, eat right, get enough sleep, take care of yourself. But she also extols the virtues of natural healing at length. Her attitude toward the benefits of essential oils for all kinds of ailments and maladies is a simple approach: “Why not try it and see if it works?”

Sounds reasonable.

Finally, Brassfield sets the machine for 20 minutes on the muscle rehab setting. This is the part of the treatment that is supposed to build strength in targeted muscles, tone and firm, even improve posture.

When the full, hour-long treatment is finished, Brassfield peels off the electrodes, gives me a big glass of fruit water and asks me how I feel. I was a little sore, particularly in my core, but refreshed.

Brassfield says in order to achieve real, lasting results, you would need several treatments over a period of time. Onyx offers unlimited subscription plans that let you visit as often as you like. Brassfield adds there’s really no limit to how many, or how frequently, treatments can be administered.

She also argues the results are preferable to cool sculpting, because Electro-Slim, she says, builds up muscle in addition to getting rid of fat.

I have no way of knowing whether several more treatments like the one I received would drastically change my appearance or health. But I can report the experience was lovely and Brassfield is someone anyone would definitely want in their corner in their fight for improved wellness.

Maybe shaping up while lying down really is the wave of the future. And Onyx and Brassfield want to use their technology to help North Scottsdale shape up and firm up. No sweat required.

s e y E e u l Judy B

Judy Collins has written a song called “Arizona” in tribute to her love for the state.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

S

inger-songwriter Judy Collins finds no flaws in Arizona.

The artist loves the mountains, the dry desert, the colors, the sunset. In 1962, she enjoyed the views via an isolation room at the Tucson Clinic as she recovered from tuberculosis for a month. She was diagnosed in October of that year during a trip from Colorado to Los Angeles.

Still, Collins thinks fondly of Arizona – so much so that she’s written a new song, “Arizona,” that will appear on a new album of Collins originals set for release next year.

She returns to the Grand Canyon State on Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, to perform at the Musical Instrument Museum.

“I’ve played it a number of times,” the sprightly Collins says. “They keep wanting me back, which is good. I will sing ‘Arizona,’ which I have performed at the MIM before. I just haven’t recorded it yet.”

The concerts are part of Collins’ busy 20172018 schedule. She’s continuing to push Silver Skies Blue, a 2015 album she recorded with Ari Hest. It earned them a Grammy Award nomination for best folk album. It was Hest’s first nomination, and Collins’ first in 40 years.

Recently she released the PBS CD/DVD A Love Letter to Stephen Sondheim, which includes the song that kickstarted Collins’ career, “Send in the Clowns.” She covered the song in 1975 and it established her as the preeminent female folk artist.

She’s interspersing her solo dates with gigs accompanied by longtime friend Stephen Stills, with whom she will release a CD. He recalled his relationship with her in the Crosby, Stills and Nash suite of songs, Judy Blue Eyes.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she says of the tour. “We were lovers and then he wrote the song about me. We’ve been friends all these years.

“We’ve been talking about this for decades, actually. We’ve been trying to figure out when and if and how it could happen.”

With Crosby, Stills and Nash off the road, now was the perfect time to pounce. “Stephen is thrilled and excited to be doing something new and different with me and we’re having a lot of fun,” Collins says. “I have total respect for his musicality and taste. I think he would say the same for me.”

(Photos by Brad Trent)

Collins still has more work to do.

A former bulimic, she released the book Cravings: How I Conquered Food.

She is scheduling book signings and discussions.

“I’m very busy,” she says. “It’s very important to me. I can do this because I’m a multitasker by nature. What makes you a multitasker? You learn at your mother ’s feet and then you continue like that.”

Involved with music since 1959, the performer, 78, remains passionate about

the art form and attributes her success to hard work.

“I’m so lucky, really,” she says. “I’ve worked my ass off for 78 years. I’m a workaholic; partly born with the talent and partly lucky. I’m disciplined, too.

I love it.”  Judy Collins is scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday, July 14 and 15, at the Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Boulevard in Phoenix. Tickets cost $60-$70. Call 480-4786000 or visit mimmusictheater.themim.org.

his year, pop culture historians and many Baby Boomers are reflecting on and celebrating the 50th anniversary of the “Summer of Love,” a time when thousands of teens and young adults – “hippies” – congregated in the Haight-Ashbury (“Hashbury”) District of San Francisco and staged love-ins and be-ins at nearby Golden Gate Park.

What was Scottsdale like during the summer of 1967, particularly for teens?

The Scottsdale Public Library, located in the Little Red Schoolhouse, employed several teens through the Youth Employment Program. Teens also spent the summer in volunteer jobs, such as Candystripers at Baptist Hospital of Scottsdale (now HonorHealth Osborn Campus) or serving on the police department’s Scottsdale Youth Patrol.  For teens and families on a tight budget, in early June the Bigburger at Papago Plaza advertised a hamburger sale: 35 cents each or three for a dollar.  The Scottsdale Daily Progress reported in its June 9 edition that the Coconino County Sheriff’s office was preparing for “the possible invasion of 20,000 to 50,000 hippies.” They had received information that a love-in would be held in the national park from June 30 to July 4. Due to problems with the site, organizers canceled the gathering and opted for a San Francisco be-in.  In June, thousands of area teens attended a nine-day Teen-Age Fair at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, featuring a battle of the bands (rock and folk), dances, fashion shows, rides and fun.

Engelbert Humperdinck headlined the event.  Also that month, members of the Scottsdale Lae-Tae Y-Teens held a fashion show in the St.

Some 250 area teens participated in “Sing Out Phoenix,” staging performances with a message of “Moral Re-Armament.”  Scottsdale celebrated the Fourth of July with a parade on Scottsdale road and fireworks at Scottsdale Stadium, sponsored by Post 44 of the American Legion.  Despite the heat, many new things enhanced the community. Scottsdale Municipal Airport opened on June 16, reviving aviation at what had been a World War II pilot training base (Thunderbird II Airfield) and launching a new economic engine for Scottsdale. At opening, the airport had a 4,800-foot runway and operated out of a trailer.  At its June 6 meeting, the Scottsdale City Council passed an ordinance establishing the Fine Arts Commission. Residents appointed to the new commission (artist Phil Curtis, artist/art patron Kax Herberger, artist Boris Bogdanovich, etc.) began cataloging and further expanding the city’s art collection.

Their efforts led to Scottsdale’s renowned public art program and laid the groundwork for building the center for the arts (which opened in 1975). …continued on page 48 July 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Racially motivated rioting occurred in many U.S. cities.  If there were be-ins or love-ins in Scottsdale, news of them was not found in the archives of the Scottsdale Daily

Progress or the Arizona Republic. The newspapers, however, were full of advice to parents of teens who had adopted the “hippie attitude” and manner of dress.

Columnists told parents to be patient, that having long hair, going barefoot and wearing outlandish clothes was just a

phase. Many watched an hourlong Harry Reasoner documentary in mid-July that took the respected reporter into the heart of Haight-Ashbury.

Hope you have your own memories of the 1967 Summer of Love, wherever you were. Peace. Love. Harmony. 

The Vig McDowell Mountain’s primo patio awaits your appetite.

he Vig McDowell Mountain was designed to be a comfy and stylish landing spot for hikers, bikers, joggers, climbers and dog walkers straight off the area’s ample number of trails. Hose off in the outdoor facilities, stash your gear in a locker and settle in for a tasty experience tailor-made for the outdoorsy set.

According to Genuine Concepts, the company behind The Vig, the restaurant’s design was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright for a refined indoor/outdoor vibe rooted in the area’s history.

“I had the pleasure of once again collaborating on the design of the property with Artie Vigil and his team at AV3 Design,” Genuine Concepts partner Tucker Woodbury says. “We both love the simplicity of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West’s iconic structure and the Usonian style of architecture it represents, which was the inspiration of the design. With a lot of help and collaboration with our development team, YAM Properties, Alexander Building Company, K&I Architects, the City

of Scottsdale and our Genuine Concepts team, we were able to bring our vision to fruition. The end result is an astonishing property, and we can’t wait to show it off.”

The Vig Arcadia was the original location, opened in the fall of 2006 by longtime friends and business partners Tucker Woodbury and Jim Riley. The McDowell Mountain location brings the total number of Vigs to five. …continued on page 51 July 2017 Scottsdale Airpark News |

All are known for beautiful patios, live music and killer menus.

“We’d been looking for several months for the ideal spot for a North Scottsdale Vig and were fortunate to find this location,” Woodbury says. “It’s an incredibly active community and we wanted to take advantage of our proximity to the Sonoran Mountain Preserve and the easy access to mountain biking and hiking trails, thus creating a space that aligns itself with the residents of the area that frequent those amenities.”

Less than a mile away from the Vig McDowell Mountain (VMM) is the city’s Gateway Center, which draws people

from all over the country for world-class hiking and biking trails. With this in mind, Woodbury and Riley equipped the Vig McDowell Mountain with lockers and an outdoor restroom. Guests can clean up after their al fresco fun before lounging on the patio for a meal and drinks.

Starters like pork belly and watermelon, nachos and charcuterie, seasonal salads, and house specialties like pad Thai, crispy chicken and steak and fries are all elevated versions of comfort food fancy enough to huddle around with your crew but satisfying enough to curb post-workout hunger pangs.

The Vig McDowell Mountain, or VMM for those in the know, is all about upscale outdoorsy charm.

Mango (with its sneaky burn, thanks to the Ancho Reyes liquor) and The Vig’s own take on a Manhattan with walnut bitters, plus a hearty beer and wine list, offer a twist for every taste. After a few hours on the mountain, you’ve earned something hearty and maybe even a little afternoon buzz.

In addition to lockers and outdoor amenities, there’s something else very special about the new VMM patio: the misters. They’re powerful enough to make the Scottsdale outdoors downright bearable during scorching summer months. No surprise, these industrial-strength units were invented and manufactured right here in Scottsdale by Mist America.

“Their technology incorporates both fans and a super-fine mist, which makes the hottest patio days comfortable for our guests,” Woodbury says.

The Vig McDowell Mountain is a neighborhood spot all about celebrating the outdoors with a comfortable, trendy twist. Where else can you get a craft cocktail and charcuterie with your outdoor adventure? 

Life Sauce Pizza and Wine’s Summer Sampler serves up a cool deal.

By Lara Piu

P

izza is not pie; it’s passion. As one of America’s most popular foods, pizza is consumed at a rate almost as high as summer temperatures in Phoenix. With so many choices, who can blame us for gobbling? We have thin crust, thick crust, Chicago-style, New York-style, oven-fired, gourmet, and a laundry list of toppings and sauces.

And this time of the year, it only takes a baseball game or a lazy dinner night for pizza to play its key role in America’s summertime mood.

Sauce Pizza and Wine makes those pizza feel-goods feel better with a

budget-friendly bill of specials, good through the end of August. Located on Scottsdale Road and nine other spots throughout the Valley, the fast-casual restaurant offers a Summer Sampler menu for $22 that includes a pizza ($11 or less), salad ($9 or less), and two glasses of wine, beer, or any beverage ($7 or less). There’s also a number of panini, pasta, and house-made soups that can be substituted for the salad or pizza, as long as the entree costs $9 or less.

In addition to its handcrafted gourmet pizza classics, like the signature mozzarella, Fontina Watermelon and arugula and basil pie ($9), Sauce recently salad is one of the new summer menu items. added summer items to its menu.

The prosciutto and fig pizza steals the show at Sauce.

One dish you’ll never feel sorry for eating is the mac and cheese ($7.75 per bowl, $4.50 for a side). Sauce’s version of this classic comfort dish is wonderfully cheesy yet light and airy, so it doesn’t park in your belly like a rock.

The new watermelon and arugula salad ($8) has field greens topped with roasted pumpkin seeds, jicama, red onions, and feta tossed in white balsamic vinaigrette. The pumpkin seeds provide an expected warm and salty crunch balanced with the bright flavors of jicama and onions. The feta adds a light tartness, while the refreshing watermelon is something for the teeth to sink into. …continued on page 54

Made with artichoke hearts, portobello mushroom slices, cheese and red sauce, this pizza is airy and meaty, and every inch of the pie had a generous, although not too heavy-handed, portion of toppings.

Sauce’s prosciutto and fig signature pizza steals the show. It comes with a red sauce, which is topped with goat cheese, prosciutto, black mission figs and fresh arugula.

Goat cheese would be good on

cardboard; on pizza, it’s pure genius. Light and fresh prosciutto, sliced in ribbons, adds salt and savor. The arugula finishes with a peppery, fresh crunch.

But the figs. Oh, the figs. They are sweet and chewy like candy, evocative of summer, tempting us further into passion for pizza. 

Ice Cream Science

Chocolate bowl with Heath candy bar pieces

Creamistry opens in Scottsdale Quarter

By Becky Bracken

T

hey say it’s where science and dessert collide. Creamistry – the made-to-order, liquid-nitrogen frozen ice cream sensation – opened in Scottsdale Quarter in late May, just in time to help Scottsdale residents cool down deliciously during scorching summer temps.

It’s not like your mom’s ice cream shop, with scoops dunked into buckets to carve out a perfectly round serving.

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2017

No, Creamistry is a whole different experience.

Here’s how it works: First, you pick your size – regular, large or Nitroshake.

Then pick your ice cream base. There’s premium, organic, sorbet and coconut.

The coconut is dairy-free for vegans and is also lactose-, gluten- and egg-free. The sorbet is also non-dairy, water-based and used to create fruity flavors like NitroDole pineapple and pink grapefruit.

(Special to Scottsdale Airpark News)

Creamistry 15059 N. Scottsdale Road creamistry.com

The organic base is certified 100 percent organic and KSA Kosher. The premium is the signature, all-natural creamy base that works with any flavor.

After picking the base, all that’s left is to choose from a variety of flavors ranging from cereals like Cap’n Crunch to fruit, coffee and tea flavors and, of course, classics like mint, chocolate and vanilla. From there all that’s left to choose is your toppings from all sorts of candy, fruit, nuts and sauce options.

Then it’s time for science to take over.

Your ingredients are placed in a big metal mixing bowl and then under a stand mixer.

Then liquid nitrogen is slowly added, creating a cloud of mist around the entire creation. It’s quite a show.

The finished ice cream is creamier than any other you’ve probably ever had before.

Creamistry area manager Sean Holian says

that’s because the liquid nitrogen freezes the ice cream without introducing water crystals into the finished product. “The nitrogen freezing actually makes a big difference in the taste of our ice cream,” Holian explains. “It’s not just a gimmick.”

He says he hopes people understand that during busier times at Creamistry, it takes a little longer to get your ice cream because it’s made to order. “If we’re really busy, it could take 10 to 15 minutes, but the wait is definitely worth it.” 

What’s Cooking With JAN D’ATRI

Grilled salmon with garlic lime butter

I

found the dusty, well-worn cookbook in an old antique store off the beaten path in Ogden, Iowa. In researching the author, I was thrilled that I had stumbled across a treasure. The Gold Cook Book, first published in 1947, was written by Louis P. De Gouy, the chef at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for 30 years. He was also one of the original founders of Gourmet Magazine and the author of 16 cookbooks. In The Gold Cook Book, I found an entire chapter devoted to something you don’t find as a separate section in many cookbooks today: compounded butters.

My favorite line opening the chapter reads, “Compounded (creamed) butters in cookery are the finishing touch to food, be it a soup, fish, meat, sauce or vegetable as is powder and make-up to the face of a beautiful woman.” The chapter covered every compounded butter from anchovy to truffle butter and I was struck at how simple these compounds are, often mixing together just two or three ingredients into the softened butter.

The great thing about compounded butters is they can be made ahead, stored in a closed jar and refrigerated indefinitely. I chose a recipe for garlic butter. I love the idea of pairing it with a simple salmon fillet. Adding some fresh-squeezed lime juice to the compound gave the salmon a bright, flavorful finish. Choose fresh, thick slices of salmon, cook them in a grill pan or skillet with a little salt and lemon pepper and then drop a dollop of compounded garlic lime butter on top for a perfect light meal in minutes. 

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2017

For the salmon 4 (approx. 6 oz) 1-inch thick salmon fillets, skin on 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon lemon pepper 1 teaspoon sea salt For the compounded garlic lime butter 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened but firm 1 clove garlic, minced fine 2 tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lime juice 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Directions: Prepare compounded garlic lime butter by combining 1/2 stick of unsalted butter, minced garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use. Heat a grill pan or skillet to mediumhigh heat. Add two tablespoons olive oil and one tablespoon of butter to pan. When hot, place salmon fillets in skillet, skin side down. Sprinkle fillets with lemon pepper and salt. Cook for three to four minutes depending on thickness of fillet. Turn fillets over and cook for another four to five minutes. When done, place fillets on a plate or platter and spoon one teaspoon of compounded garlic lime butter on top of each fillet.

Garnish with lime wedges. Serves four.

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

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

INTELLIGENCE: Having over 2,700 commercial transactions

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

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

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

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

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

Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner Joining Sacks Tierney expands capacity for meeting clients’ needs

W

hen Randy Nussbaum contemplated opening a Scottsdale Airpark law office in 2008, he had a vision for a law firm that would not only deliver excellent service and results for its clients, but also be a pillar of civic and charitable involvement and leadership.

That vision quickly became a reality. The law firm that became Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner has been an impactful member of the Airpark community and an essential corporate citizen.

In June, the Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner attorneys’ commitment to legal and civic excellence took a new direction when they accepted an invitation to join Sacks Tierney P.A., Scottsdale’s oldest and largest independent law firm.

“We are excited about the opportunities this change will offer our clients, as well as our lawyers and staff,” says Randy Nussbaum, who will be accompanied by colleagues Greg Gillis, Dean Dinner and other attorneys. “Sacks Tierney has a long-standing reputation as a diverse, top-tier law firm.

Our connections with our new colleagues will allow us to better serve our clients by adding a broad range of practice areas, while continuing to practice law in Scottsdale.”

Founded in 1960, Sacks Tierney’s 40-attorney firm has been ranked number one

by Ranking Arizona for six consecutive years among law firms with 21-49 attorneys. Sacks Tierney is also a U.S. News-Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” honoree in arbitration, bankruptcy, commercial litigation, construction law, corporate law, trust and estate law, real estate law, mediation, Native American law and water law.

With the addition of the Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner attorneys, Sacks Tierney’s ranks will include 15 "Best Lawyers in America" honorees, 11 Southwest “Super Lawyers” honorees, and 20 Martindale-Hubbell AVPreeminent rated attorneys.

Sacks Tierney’s leadership includes managing shareholder Judith M. Dworkin, executive committee members Steven R. Beeghley, Bryan J. Gottfredson and Jeffrey S. Leonard, and executive director Gary E. Pace, CLM. “Randy Nussbaum, Greg Gillis and Dean Dinner and their colleagues are excellent attorneys with an outstanding reputation throughout the state,” Dworkin says. “They are valuable additions to our

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2017

firm, particularly in our bankruptcy and construction law groups.”

Civic leadership

For Nussbaum and his colleagues, Sacks Tierney’s attraction was not limited to its legal arsenal.

“Sacks Tierney has always been a leader in the community,” notes Nussbaum, “whether through cause-related volunteerism, leadership in major Arizona organizations, or legal involvement in local and national issues. Five decades of civic involvement fit very nicely with our values of service and community activity.”

Sacks Tierney and Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner lawyers play key roles in over 50 Valley and statewide organizations, including, in recent years, chairing the Fiesta Bowl and Cactus Bowl and serving on the boards of such organizations as the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest, Barrow Neurological Foundation, Boy Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, Heard Museum, Hillel at ASU, Phoenix Symphony, James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, The Children’s Cancer Network, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University and Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“The fact that the Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner team is so invested in the community is wonderful. As attorneys we understand the importance of giving back and we look forward to strengthening and growing our tradition of individual involvement in a variety of community associations,” Dworkin says.

Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner history

Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner, P.C. a private law firm in North Scottsdale, was founded in 2008 by Randy Nussbaum, a lifetime resident of Scottsdale, and Greg Gillis, with a focus on complex bankruptcies, business litigation, construction law and real estate law. Dean Dinner became the third named partner in 2010, and the firm expanded its practice areas to include trusts and estate planning, probate, personal injury, insurance defense, eminent domain and administrative law with an emphasis on the pest control industry.

Sacks Tierney’s history

In 1960, Seymour Sacks, a Brooklyn-born, Harvard-educated lawyer, left his position

Randy Nussbaum

Judith M. Dworkin

with the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue a future in private practice. Like ambitious people before and since, he headed west, to Phoenix.

David Tierney joined the firm in 1969 as a new associate with the then-six lawyer firm. Seymour Sacks, who passed away in 2011, was one of a small group of lawyers nationwide listed by The Best Lawyers in America in each of the first 25 years of the publication’s existence.

Sacks Tierney today

Since its founding, Sacks Tierney has distinguished itself through civic leadership and a reputation for providing legal services and experience competitive with much larger firms, and expertise in legal areas of special value in Arizona, including construction law, bankruptcy, healthcare law, Native American law and water law.

As a result of purposeful recruiting and professional development, Sacks Tierney has positioned itself to appeal to individuals, entrepreneurs and corporate decision-makers who value excellence in legal skill and responsiveness and who respect Sacks Tierney’s firm-wide values of effectiveness and unyielding professionalism in addressing clients’ challenges and goals; honesty, integrity and trust; respect for the individual; creativity and innovation; performance that exceeds expectations; and a refusal to sacrifice quality for financial gain.

The joining of the Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner attorneys with Sacks Tierney continues the tradition of unparalleled commitment to clients and service to the Scottsdale and Arizona community.  For more information, call 480-425-2600 or visit sackstierney.com

A new spot in cyberspace for Scottsdale food

A

By Rachel Sacco, President & CEO, Experience Scottsdale

AA anticipates 22 million Americans will take culinary-driven vacations in 2017. The World Food Travel Association says 95 percent of travelers are interested in foodie travel experiences. Travel research publication Skift calls dining the “main event,” all due to the “(Anthony) Bourdain effect.”

With all that in mind, can you blame us for getting in on the food and beverage game? This month, Experience Scottsdale will promote Scottsdale’s culinary story on a new website, desertdishscottsdale.com.

Cuisine continues to be a major hook in travel and trip planning, as evidenced by research conducted in conjunction with Experience Scottsdale’s rebranding efforts, which revealed “great restaurants” is the top motivator for travel.

Another thing we learned during our research is that consumers gave Scottsdale some of its poorest ratings for “great restaurants” and “exciting nightlife.” As Scottsdale-area residents and employees, we know that to be the furthest thing from the truth.

Scottsdale is home to nearly 800 restaurants, from hidden gems like Craft 64 to resort standouts like Talavera at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North.

Our downtown has nearly 80 bars and lounges, where mixologists are crafting inspired libations at spots like Counter The cocktail program Intuitive and Second Story at Citizen Public House is a point of pride.

According to Skift, Desert Dish Scottsdale will help elevate the majority of Americans identify with our culinary story and inspire, educate and casual food, craft beer, food markets and compel audiences to travel to Scottsdale food festivals. Craft beer enthusiasts specifically for cuisine and cocktail offerings especially are a growing demographic of like these. To do so, Experience Scottsdale is niche travelers who explore brewpubs, partnering with the minds behind the locally local breweries, beer trails and beerowned and operated Bite Magazine to produce related events. Of course, we’ll direct

Timelines, Teams and Tours

C

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

ommercial tenants and buyers are getting smarter about their real estate.

Now they are questioning the underlying motivations of real estate agents and the quality of the information they provide.

They’re also insisting their representatives be true advocates and have a fiduciary duty to protect their economic interests. If I may opine… it’s about time.

This article discusses three factors that indirectly affect a businesses’ total cost of occupancy: timelines, teams and tours.

Regardless of the size requirement, these insights will be as meaningful to the medical practitioner as they are to those who utilize office, industrial, automotive, educational, or hospitality space.

Timelines. Time can be either your ally or your enemy, and waiting too long to address your space requirements can reduce your negotiating leverage and ultimately cost you plenty. The process of evaluating whether to remain in a leased space, relocate or buy a building should begin in earnest nine to 12 months prior to the date the stay-or-move decision must be made. This provides ample time to tour multiple properties and gain a clear understanding of the state of the market.

While the research and identification of suitable properties can take months to properly complete, negotiating favorable terms and conditions on the best properties can typically be accomplished in seven to 14 days. Once there has been a meeting of the minds, allot a week to ten days for a lease or purchase agreement to be prepared, and two to three weeks to negotiate comments and finalize the lease or purchase contract.

Whether leasing or buying, and depending on the extent of the improvements, allow 30 days to six months for the space to be made ready for occupancy.

Teams. A recent phenomenon in the commercial real estate industry is the “team” or “group” concept, in which two or more agents from the same company form a mini-agency within the firm. They generally consist of a senior agent (the rainmaker) and one or more supporting, but much less experienced, agents. While teams make a great deal of sense to property owners, who want several people

marketing their buildings, teams are generally a poor choice for tenants.

The reasons for this are twofold. First, the newest members of each team are generally charged with the most important part of the process – research, where the true needs and urgency of competing property owners are discovered. Second, listing agents are property-driven, meaning they have a fiduciary duty to lease or sell spaces they or their team represent… to the exclusion of properties listed by others which may be better suited for the tenant or buyer and/or are less expensive. This includes properties listed by agents of the same company but on different teams.

While everyone needs to start their careers somewhere, resist the temptation to permit newly minted “assistants” or “associates” to use your business for on-the-job training. When selecting a real estate agent/advisor, seek an experienced, fully-credentialed person that does not list properties, and use the same criteria as you would when choosing your CPA and attorney – namely, confirm they are in the business of solving your particular problems and do not have potential or undisclosed conflicts of interest.

Tours. If you find yourself being shown only properties represented by one company, you’re being “steered.” Common ways agents steer prospective tenants or buyers to their listings include suppressing information about other available properties and/ or presenting false choices – properties that are clearly less suitable or desirable than the listings controlled by the agent(s). When working with real estate agents or brokers, make certain to clearly articulate your desire to be made aware of every suitable space, regardless of which company, team, or group has the listing. This should be discussed at the initial interview and memorialized in

writing, with all agents signing the appropriate disclosures.

Another way to minimize or eliminate steering is to simply refuse a “dual agency” or “limited representation” arrangement, which occurs when agents from one company represent both property owner and the tenant or buyer in the same transaction. Common sense should tell you that a dual agency favors property owners, who are assured of achieving the highest price possible, and their agents/brokers, who stand to collect both sides of the commission.  Stephen A.

JULY Business Horoscopes

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

ARIES 3/21-4/20 The second half of 2017 is less stressful than the first. Those false starts since February will move ahead this month.

Make it easy on yourself by addressing any issues or completing a project by July 9th. Arrange meetings, write e-mails and expect an overload of correspondence. A bit of compromise may be needed from the 4th through the 28th. Whenever a large planet goes direct, as Jupiter did in June, we see a marked improvement in your business and personal relationships. Circle the new moon on the 23rd.

TAURUS 4/21-5/20 Exciting work opportunities and collaborating with others requires you to polish those social skills. Try to catch up on any overlooked communications – bills, notices, emails, résumés, inquiries, etc. – before the full moon on the 9th. Take personal time off on your own, or a family vacation – anytime between the 6th and the 26th is favorable.

Underline the new moon on the 23rd.

GEMINI 5/21-6/21 Everything has a beginning and an end. This month is no different. Listen to what is really being said and you will be in better mental shape to give a “yes” or a “no” when the full moon brings a decisive end to an indecision or a final agreement around the 9th. The next two weeks may require leg work, or maybe even travel. With a little help from Jupiter, learning potential increases and personal relationships get a boost until early October.

CANCER 6/22-7/22 Last month’s mental chatter and nonstop behind-the-scenes restrictions flips to focus your own interests and responsibilities this month – spending and work issues that may not be defined. Trying to be in both places – work and home – at the same time will take some real rearranging. Compromise is July’s early theme. The later half of the month is best for relaxing and mini weekend trips once the sun and a new moon moves into Leo on the 23rd. Enjoy and get ready for fun times.

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News July 2017

LEO 7/23-8/22 You may have to put in some extra hours on the job this month. Domestic concerns or obligations could put any personal plans on hold until the third week or so. July’s full moon on the 9th allows you to put an issue – whatever it may be – to rest. Address concerns surrounding a pending property issue. You will have more confidence and be more self-motivated by the third week, when you can indulge yourself and launch a new game plan with the new moon on the 23rd.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 The new moon on the 9th is a generally happy indication for intimate or family relationships. Attention to details could be overlooked when obtaining loans or exemptions. The early full moon gives a two-week phase to resolve a financial interest. How about investing in some quality time off for having fun and getting away from your work life? Get out your calendar and put a big X on the 23rd and through the end of the month.

You need a break; take it.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 All work and no play is not the way to go this month. No harm in admitting you can get bored and go to extremes, putting too much effort into a project. Be content with wrapping up an assignment during the first week of July and taking some time for local celebrations. Polish those creative, mental tools so you can respond to an opportunity or changing circumstance that appears with the new moon between the 12th and 25th.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 July’s full moon in your sign is not to be ignored. You have a desire to break away, so let go. Make a final commitment that has been lingering for two weeks or so. If you don’t, they will. Nothing gets anywhere without rapport or negotiation. Dealing with others in your life is the main theme of this month. Steer your life in a new direction, but hold off until the new moon on the 23rd to move on.

LIBRA 9/23-10/23 Jupiter is in your sign until late fall, which relates to your personal fulfillment and new opportunities. The first eight days of the month are favorable for concluding some career-status happenings. For the next two weeks, much can be achieved in raising your career game, thanks to lucky Jupiter. The sun is entering the sign of Leo on the 23rd, which means a lot rests on getting along with colleagues, which shouldn’t be difficult for Libras. Focus on social networks.

SCORPIO 10/24-11/2 This month could find you ready to take some risks. Circle the full moon on the 9th to break into a new world or actively pursue a goal that has been on your mind.

July brings a growing need for personal development. July offers positive business and work financial aspects for growth. Underline the 10th through the 23rd when the new moon ushers in new circumstances.

AQUARIUS 1/21-2/19 Get ready for some awesome decisions that may soon alter your life. Allow your imagination to run wild. Total eclipses in August offer new indications that your career and personal life will bring events that cannot be ignored.

July is a constructive month to settle accounts.

Attention shifts to others once the Sun enters Leo on the 23rd. It’s who you meet and what they know that brings excitement, and for some, a special someone out of the blue!

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Career and status are a lot more preoccupying than usual this month. Aspects are right to discover what works and what does not.

Let go and move on. Give greater thought to the quality of a relationship. Your finances have potential to improve by September.

Health-related matters, whether personal or work-related, should be pursued aggressively. The last two weeks are fabulous for starting a creative project.  Contact Weiss Kelly at weissastro@aol.com
