Class A building sells for $19.5M in Kierland

WaFd Bank Arizona donates $80,000 to local nonprofits

Commercial Properties Inc./CORFAC International recently announced the investment sale of Mesquite Corporate Center, a 79,537-square-foot, two-story, Class A office building in Scottsdale.

The Ron Schooler and Ken Elmer Team from CPI’s Scottsdale office represented the buyer, Valwood Mesquite LLC. “Our buyer was seeking opportunities to place capital in the Scottsdale marketplace, and through our diligent process we were able to identify this off-market opportunity,” Elmer says.

Located in Kierland, just south of Greenway Parkway and west of Scottsdale Road at 14646 N. Kierland Boulevard, this Class A office building overlooks the Westin Kierland Golf Club course; is within walking distance to multiple upscale restaurants and retail amenities at Kierland Commons; and is just minutes from the Scottsdale Quarter, an openair shopping center, and Scottsdale Airpark.

Valwood Mesquite LLC purchased the building for $19.5 million, or $244.80 per square foot.

Through its WaFd Bank Foundation, WaFd Bank Arizona’s 31 branches were able to come together and donate $40,000 to Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), based in Phoenix, and the Primavera Foundation, based in Tucson, in recent weeks to help them continue their critical operations amid COVID-19.

“Our purpose through the foundation is to facilitate direct giving to community-based nonprofits serving low- and moderate-income individuals’ needs,” says Mike Brown, the Scottsdale-based WaFd Bank Arizona president. “Over the past few years, we’ve been very proud to invest over $250,000 in direct giving across Arizona through it.”

CASS’ mission is to prevent and end homelessness among individuals and families while advancing compassionate community solutions. Serving the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, CASS is a regional solution to homelessness, working to fill service gaps and help thousands of people to transform their lives and get a roof over their head, a job and a chance at a new life.

“CASS is the largest and longest-serving homeless emergency shelter provider in Arizona. Both its adult and family shelters operate at full capacity 24/7, 365 days of the year,” Brown says. “And since 1983, the Primavera Foundation has provided tangible pathways out of poverty through safe, affordable housing; workforce development; and neighborhood revitalization.”

According to Brown, each year its programs impact more than 8,200 individuals and families across Southern Arizona.

Through partnerships with volunteers, donors, neighborhoods, community-based organizations, businesses and public entities, Primavera offers four vital areas of support: survival, stability, security and sustainability.

“Primavera’s participants strengthen their skills; obtain steady employment; find safe, affordable places to call home; set and achieve realistic goals; build sustainable financial futures; advocate for their rights; and connect with their communities in meaningful, value-added ways,” Brown says. …continues on page 8

AIRPARK BusinessNews Barrett-Jackson kicks off ‘Road to 50’ Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will kick off its “Road to 50” leading to its January 50th anniversary with its online-only July auction, which begins Monday, July 6, with a finely curated selection of premium collector vehicles.

The online-only auction will include a Shadow Black 2018 Ford GT with alloy racing stripes, which will be the first time a 2018 model will be offered at auction.

Bidding in the collector car and automobilia auctions will open on July 6, ending on July 9 for the 250-plus automobilia items and on July 10 for the collector vehicles.

“I couldn’t be more appreciative of the response from our consignors and bidders for our most recent online only auction in May,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson.

“We’re building on that excitement with our online-only July auction. As part of our ‘Road to 50’ celebration, it will feature an incredible docket of more than 50 thoughtfully selected vehicles that exemplify the diversity for which our dockets are known.

We’re especially excited to be entrusted with the world’s first auction of a coveted 2018 Ford GT supercar.”

The immaculate Shadow Black 2018 Ford GT with Dark Energy interior theme has less than 853 actual miles and comes

with the GT ordering kit, original transport seat and steering wheel covers, owner’s manuals, battery tender with original box, transmission tool, locking lug nuts, fuel filler and a Ford GT car cover.

Among the other vehicles hand picked by the Barrett-Jackson team for the online auction is a custom 1968 Dodge Charger.

This beautiful Resto-Mod show car was professionally frame-off restored and custom built with modern technology. It debuted at SEMA and has less than 500 miles since completion. From concept to reality, the car took over 14 years to design, engineer and build. Also included on the docket is “Shop Truck,” a 1954 Chevy 3100 five-window Resto-Mod that took years to build. It sits on a handmade custom frame with a Mustang front end, four-link suspension and narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end.

“It’s gratifying to look in the rearview mirror and see how much this hobby has grown over the last 50 years,” Jackson says. “We’re proud to live up to our heritage of building diverse dockets that appeal to collectors of every level. The collector car community has truly rallied together over the last few months, and we look forward to carrying that excitement into our online auction in July and on into 2021 as we celebrate our 50th year

in business.”

Barrett-Jackson’s online-only July auction also includes automobilia, featuring over 250 authentic automotive memorabilia pieces, the majority sold with no reserve. Among the most anticipated pieces up for sale is a magnificent 1928 Standard Oil Gold Crown visible gas pump, as well as a highly desirable 1950s Coca-Cola Vendo Model 81 coin-operated soda machine restored beyond original and a 1950s Pontiac Automobiles chieftain head single-sided die-cut porcelain dealership sign.

The online-only July auction will give bidders and sellers alike secure online transactions and an infrastructure that boasts 99% uptime. Barrett-Jackson’s online auction connects sellers with pre-screened bidders who are vetted using bank-level risk mitigation tools.

Consignors will have the advantage of being associated with Barrett-Jackson’s trusted international brand, the visibility offered on extensive marketing and advertising platforms, and exposure to the company’s extensive database of car collectors around the world.

Barrett-Jackson’s online auctions will be offered in addition to the company’s annual live auction events.

FirstBank thanks Family Promise for helping the homeless FirstBank delivered over 75 meals to Family Promise of Greater Phoenix.

Meals went to the nonprofit’s staff and the families it serves to show appreciation for going above and beyond to fulfill its mission during the coronavirus pandemic. FirstBank hired Short Leash Hot Dogs to bring its food truck to Family Promise’s two Scottsdale facilities on June 3 and June 4.

“We want to show our appreciation to nonprofits and essential workers, who are doing so much for our communities during the coronavirus pandemic,” says Bryce Lloyd, Phoenix market president for FirstBank.

“No parent should have to wonder how they’ll provide the next meal for their child, which is why we sponsored lunches for the families and staff at Family Promise. The employees have also overcome tremendous hurdles to

continue keeping the promise.”

Before the coronavirus pandemic, Family Promise relied on its network of volunteer churches and synagogues to shelter and feed first-time homeless families, while they assisted these families on their journey back to self-sufficiency.

Family Promise had to abandon its community-based model to protect its volunteers and families from the potential spread of the virus. Family Promise is sheltering more than a dozen families at its day center in South Scottsdale and relies on volunteers to provide meals.

“With our community-based model upended, we are so grateful when businesses like FirstBank step up to ensure our families get their basic needs met,” says Ted Taylor, executive director at Family Promise. “By bringing Short Leash Hot Dogs to our facility, FirstBank has brought joy to many children and

their parents during such a scary and uncertain time.”

FirstBank is actively supporting its customers, communities and employees during this time. Last month, FirstBank surprised essential employees at several Fry’s Food Stores throughout Arizona to thank them for their work during the pandemic. FirstBank also launched a comprehensive effort to help those impacted by the novel coronavirus pandemic. The bank implemented a customer assistance program, support local business initiative, increased compensation for on-site employees, and boosted Arizona Gives Day and its newly created Nonprofit Emergency Relief Fund. FirstBank has been the presenting sponsor of Arizona Gives Day since its inception in 2013, helping raise a record $6.1 million for nonprofits during this year’s campaign.

Gregory Talcott joins investment firm, Caliber Real estate investment capital specialist Gregory Talcott recently accepted a senior-level position with Arizona-based real estate investment firm Caliber.

The industry veteran and Arizona resident comes to Caliber as its senior vice president, private client, after a two-year stint with Scottsdale-based competitor Virtua Partners, where last year he raised more than $100 million in capital investment from high net worth individuals, registered investment advisers and institutional entities.

“We are pleased to have Greg join the team and build upon our solid foundation,” Caliber CEO Chris Loeffler says.

“His skill set and attention to detail is well suited to our processes and commitment to growth, as Caliber recently launched its own Regulation A fund.”

Talcott delivers a high level of trust among customers past and present, having managed assets and serving as a fiduciary for select private wealth clients at Scottrade-TD Ameritrade,

Basilica Wealth Management and Charles Schwab in Arizona, the Pacific Northwest and other key markets for more than 15 years since 2000.

During his time at Schwab, he led a team that managed more than $2.5 billion in assets that provided portfolio management and financial planning designed for a particular client suitability.

Talcott holds Series 7, 9, 10, 63 and 66 securities licenses, which includes Arizona.

“Caliber operates in the same midmarket space that I’m accustomed to for new or existing multifamily, residential, Class A office, commercial and hospitality, so we are a good fit,” Talcott says.

“I have also raised investment for Qualified Opportunity Zone projects, which Caliber is active with as well.”

“So along with raising funds for Caliber, QOZ funds will clearly be another priority and opportunity for growth,” he says.

Cloud Cover Cancer inspires couple to help doctors go digital

N

By Alison Bailin Batz ecessity is the mother of invention.

A mother who knows this all too well is North Va l l e y r e s i d e n t M a r y

Purkiss.

Rewind to the year 2000. At the time, Mary and husband Ed Purkiss were parents to three children under age 10 and enjoying running a successful business together.

“We had a group of call centers at the time,” Mary says. “We had over 500 employees and it was approaching the holiday season, so we planned a big company party to fete the entire team.

The mood was joyous, at least at the start of the evening.”

It was that night, as the Purkisses rushed to get ready after prepping the big party, that Ed noticed a lump in Mary’s breast, quite by accident.

“We figured it was nothing. Obviously only in her 30s she was far too young for it to be anything bad, but I urged her to get it checked out just in case,” Ed says.

A few weeks later, the couple sat in a doctor’s office thunderstruck.

“I had breast cancer and they needed to schedule a full mastectomy and begin treatment immediately,” Mary says.

The family battled the disease with Mary for years. She had six surgeries during that time. They made the decision in the midst of the battle to sell their business to focus on their children and healing.

“Far too much of all of our lives revolved around doctors’ offices at that time. It was in those doctors’ offices Mary and I noticed something very odd,” Ed says. “We were mystified on a weekly basis at how busy the specialists and doctors were dealing with the business

of cancer—and its technologies—and how it took precious time from patient care.”

Because they had experience running a business and were comfortable with rapidly changing technology, the Purkisses ended up as paid consultants to radiation oncology practices, eventually handling their doctors’ technology and electronic medical records needs as well.

“We quite literally fell into this consulting role over and over, helping because as patients we felt doctors get into this business to save lives and understand medicine and science, not to deal with office technology and filing systems,” Ed says.

12 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / JULY 2020

With Mary’s cancer in remission, the Purkisses continued to study the issues that doctors faced with cloud, online storage and other technology issues. By 2008, they founded Iron Medical Systems.

“That first year, the business was primarily a cloud infrastructure for the radiation and medical oncology arena, but then we realized that a managed cloud solution, able to store, share and protect critical applications, as well as patient data, was something that was needed across most medical disciplines,” she says. …continues on page 14

MEET YourAirparkNeighbor The Purkiss family.

…continued from page 12 So in 2009, the couple launched its Managed Medical Cloud, which enables software companies that don’t have the resources or time to develop their own the ability to offer a private-labeled cloud solution to their customers.

In those first few years, the Purkisses worked from their home and had three clinics as clients, becoming friends as well as colleagues with many of the doctors at the various practices, including Dr. Coral Quiet, who—thanks to her cutting-edge research in breast cancer treatment—is a national celebrity in Arizona.

“I was so happy to be in remission, but the memories from the years of treatment stuck with me. So despite in the midst of getting our business up and running, when Coral told me about the nonprofit she was heading, I jumped at the opportunity to help,” Mary says.

The nonprofit was called Arizona Institute for Breast Health (AIBH), and its mission was to provide a free second opinion service for women and their

families recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Mary served on the board of directors and headed most of the organization’s major fundraising endeavors for nearly a decade, notably the Breast of Scottsdale, a pinkthemed party held for years to raise critical funds for the organization.

By 2015, the Purkisses went from counting their doctors’ appointments to counting their blessings as Iron Medical Systems counted customers from across North America until it became the largest infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provider in the radiation oncology field, at the same time helping hundreds of women gain access to free second opinions on their breast cancer diagnosis.

“A lot of what we

14 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / JULY 2020

did dealt with technology and storing information. As a natural extension, I was heavily involved in how technology communicates information as well,” Ed says. “So much so, we decided to open another business to expand what we could do for all people, beyond the medical community.”

The business, launched in 2018, is called SMS Gorilla, and it focused on effective text message and marketing campaigns for businesses of every shape and size.

“The term ‘text message’ comes with multiple acronyms, with two of the most popular being SMS and MMS. SMS— short message service—is limited to 160 characters and what many consider the text message, while MMS—multimedia message service—does not have a character limit but is restricted by the amount of data available,” Ed says.

“Given their limited use of data and direct nature, SMS can work for almost anyone, even small mom and pops like us.”

From making technology easier for doctors to making it easier for all of us to access, the Purkisses are looking to their future with optimism and hope.

“And empty nest syndrome,” says Mary, noting their children are now all full-grown adults. “Our businesses are our legacy to them and hopefully to our many grandchildren one day.” 

Specialty animal shelter opens in the Valley

By Alison Bailin Batz

I

n March 2019, the Virginia B. Jontes Foundation of Phoenix broke ground on Heidi’s Village, a $20 million specialty animal shelter and veterinary clinic spread over 5 acres.

Completed in April 2020, the 40,000-square-foot has formally accepted its first animals for temporary boarding, with plans to ramp up as best it can and as safely as it can despite the pandemic.

“Our first-of-its kind space opens at a precarious time. We have dramatically

altered our initial planned daily operations protocols to ensure the safety and health of both our staff and animals,” Scottsdale Airpark resident and CEO Ellen Clark says.

She notes they ensured social distancing; helped get team members trained virtually; and implemented procedures for regular sanitization of all surfaces throughout the process of intake, housing, grooming and health assessment as well as operations.

A unique animal shelter concept, Heidi’s Village wants to foster a community where

animals are treated with respect, dignity and compassion.

“We work with animal rescues around the county to accept animals for temporary boarding when other shelters’ and rescue groups’ existing space is limited,” Clark says. “Heidi’s Village will care for these animals and provide medical intervention at a subsidized rate until the rescue groups are able to retrieve them and offer adoptions through their own means.”

According to Clark, Heidi’s Village features nine buildings with thoughtfully developed boarding space for up to 250 dogs and 200 cats, though it is their goal never to house that many animals at once.

Each of the six dog boarding buildings has four outdoor play yards equipped with agility play equipment, shade structures

PHILANTHROPY

Who is Heidi?

“Heidi” was Virginia B. Fontes’ beloved adopted family schnauzer who passed away four years ago.

Fontes met a woman in the course of her iconic local real estate business who was selling her house. During the course of their partnership, Fontes got to know the woman’s dog, Heidi. The homeowner was going through some hard times and was quite ill. The two women became friends, and Fontes helped her through the illness, ultimately agreeing to adopt Heidi upon the woman’s passing. Heidi represents the Fontes’ desire to help not only animals in need but people who are in need.

and misting systems. Each of the two cat boarding buildings features an outdoor play yard with flora and fauna to provide stimulation for all cats’ senses.

“We are also in the process of rolling out a grooming facility, walking paths, obstacle courses and even a bone-shaped splash pad on-site, as well as full medical suites to provide veterinary services to animals,” Clark says. “Finally, we also have a neonate kitten nursery that will provide 24-hour care to vulnerable kittens requiring bottle feeding.”

These kittens, along with dogs surrendered to Heidi’s Village, will be available for adoption when they are medically and behaviorally cleared.

“Talk about a change in plans,” says Barry Chasse, also an Airpark resident and founder of CHASSE Building Team, who purchased the land in 2017. “When we originally bought this land, it was an old vehicle emissions testing center.”

At first, the locally owned and operated general contractor planned to build its new headquarters on the land, but when CHASSE realized the location would provide too much of a commute for some

of its team members, the company was determined to find a truly special use for it.

“We were both proud to sell the land to Virginia B. Jontes as well as serve as general contractors on the project. Our focus is ‘building to make a difference,’ and this project certainly will,” says Chasse, who partnered with Cawley Architects, Foursite Consulting and Iconic Design Studio to ensure the project was completed in just about a year.

Heidi’s Village has many volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups.

Tasks include assisting with administrative duties, cleaning and disinfecting animal areas, socializing animals, or facilities maintenance. Heidi’s Village relies heavily on volunteers to help it achieve its mission.

To volunteer, email volunteer@heidisvillage.org or visit heidisvillage.org.

When they have animals for adoption in coming months, residents will be welcome to visit them from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Friday or 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“You can also view our adoptable animals on our adoption web page,” Evans Johnson says. 

Open spaces for the animals were key in the design of Heidi’s Village.

CALIFORNIA Calls

Temecula is emerging as a preeminent SoCal sojourn

By Alison Bailin Batz

ith the nation slowly reopening, many are looking for ways to get out and enjoy vacation this summer, while social distancing and maintaining massive safety measures in place.

A picture-perfect escape—only five hours away via car and with dozens of outdoor activities—is Southern California gem Temecula.

Temecula is the largest winegrowing region in California’s South Coast. It is particularly well suited to growingsyrah,

sangiovese, viognier, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, zinfandel and tempranillo; however, more than two dozen varieties thrive in the region. Altogether, Temecula boasts more than 40 wineries and 80 winegrowers, as well as other attractions, high-end dining and—of course—amazing tasting tours.

Accommodations

While hotels and resorts are taking all CDC-recommended precautions to ensure the perfect stay, one of the ways to do Temecula right is by renting a home or manor in the heart of wine country. If looking to go

18 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / JULY 2020

this route, Temecula Vacation Rentals (TVR) is among the top options in the area, with six premiere properties able to accommodate from 10 to 24 guests, not to mention cozy condos and other specialty spaces available based on needs, wants and dates.

TVR’s most fabulous property is Wilson Creek Manor. And if the name Wilson Creek sounds familiar to Valley wine lovers, it should. Not only is Wilson Creek’s awardwinning almond champagne (and now other varietals) available for purchase across Arizona, but the picturesque winery has been featured on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” “Blind Date,” The Golf Channel

and on Oprah’s OWN Network. Rumor has it Mario Lopez has been known to show up from time to time for a game or two of bocce ball at the winery’s on-site court as well.

Located directly across the street from the famed winery, the 12,000-square-foot estate sleeps up to 24 guests and features 10 well-appointed bedrooms—including a 1,600-square-foot master suite—11 bathrooms, a game room, private outdoor pool and spa, barbecue, gazebo, workout area, basketball court and commercial-grade kitchen.

For smaller groups, notable options include the Sangiovese Estate—sleeping up to 14 and with its own putting green,

home theater and game room—the Palazzo Del Sol Estate—also sleeping 14 and with nearly unrivaled mountain views—and the Meritage House—sleeping 10 and with its own grapefruit grove. The prices vary based on property and season but can often be less than $60 a day per person, making it one of the sneaky best deals in California in addition to one of the chicest. There are also a dozen TVR packages, which provide excursions, meals, wine tastings and other curated experiences. temeculavacationrentals.com

Getting Around

Once in wine country, don’t even think about drinking and driving. Instead, look no further than the Grapeline Wine Tours.

A family-owned business that has been operating in Temecula for over a decade, Grapeline has drivers and tour guides who are walking encyclopedias of the region.

They do it while making guests laugh, sing and even dance on board.

A best bet is Grapeline’s all-inclusive Classic Wine Tour, which is a four-hour tour hosted by a wine country insider with snacks as well as tastings at three wineries only $95 a person. The Grapeline also offers a “Grapephopper” service, which is only $79 a person and gives guests the chance to taste on their own time and simply hop on and off Grapeline shuttles as they visit the wineries each day. Because sipping all day is hard work, there is also a deluxe picnic tour starting at $119 per person. It offers tastings as well as a gourmet local picnic lunch.

For those seeking to ensure distance from others, there are also dozens of private tour options as well as by-the-hour chauffeur services using sedans, limos, executive SUVs and deluxe coaches for all group sizes and budget levels. gogrape.com

TRAVEL impactful wineries with tastings as well as contemporary and cutting-edge tasting rooms to even those with full-serve restaurants and airborne adventures.

For those who love history, be sure to stop into Hart Winery, which is the oldest continually owned and operated winery in Temecula.

Originally founded by Joe and Nancy Hart and now run by their children, it is known for premium estate grown reds.

For those with beer lovers joining you, be sure to stop at Wiens Family Cellars. There, enjoy a tasting of their big reds or reserve a private tasting, which comes with scrumptious small bites. After, head to the family’s Wiens Brewing Company a few miles away, where you can sample its IPAs, pilsners, wheats, coffee stouts, beers aged in its wine barrels, and seasonal specialties, notably its Grove Swarm, a blood orange and honey wheat ale.

If looking for fine dining while sipping, visit South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. Its on-site restaurant, The Vineyard Rose Restaurant, is warm and inviting, with a definite Tuscan vibe. The food is quintessentially Californian, bursting with seasonal local veggies and surrounded by vineyard views.

Robert Renzoni Vineyards also needs to make your “must” list if a foodie. The winery

offers tastes of premium California wines made using Italian grape varieties that sing in the hands of talented young winemaker Olivia Bue. There is also a decadently delicious restaurant on-site called Mama Rosa’s Trattoria offering elevated Italian classics and brick oven pizzas. It’s a hot spot for all ages.

If you need a taste of adventure while tasting across wine country, head over to Carter Estate Winery and Resort, which has an overnight package that includes a hot air balloon tour for two that soars over wine country, complete with a champagne toast and then two tickets for a full wine tasting as well.

COV Care HonorHealth is leading the charge on investigational treatments

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

he HonorHealth Research Institute and HonorHealth are enrolling patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 infections in a trial of atovaquone and azithromycin.

Conducted in collaboration with Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), the clinical trial is funded as an investigator-initiated clinical trial by HonorHealth Research Institute.

This is one of 10 clinical trials that the HonorHealth Research Institute is working on related to COVID-19 to understand the biology, spread and treatment of the disease. HonorHealth is

enrolling about 25 patients in this study at HonorHealth Shea, HonorHealth Osborn and HonorHealth John C. Lincoln Medical Center. Eligibility criteria is at clinicaltrials.gov. For more information, email covidtrials@honorhealth.com.

“We historically have done lots of clinical trials in cancer,” says Dr. Michael Gordon, medical director, oncology clinical trials, clinical investigator.

“With the development of COVID-19 as a major scourge at this time, we pivoted our activities to develop a new research program on COVID-19. A portion of those trials are therapeutic, and a number are developing as an investigation to better

understand the diagnostic criteria to establish COVID-19 recovery-based issues.”

With TGen, HonorHealth is working on a number of translational aspects to understand the biologic response to COVID-19.

“We know 80% of patients who are infected with COVID-19 tend to get a classic flu-like syndrome,” Gordon says.

“It tends to last longer than we historically have seen with influenza. It can be present a week to two weeks with symptoms like fever, chills, sweats, muscle aches and pains, coughing and shortness of breath.

“It’s most of those symptoms that generate the concern leading to individu-

als getting tested for COVID-19.”

Nasopharyngeal swabs are the most common way that COVID-19 is diagnosed, though they are not 100% accurate.

Some patients may have negative tests even though they have the infection. The study will use interval nasopharyngeal swabs during treatment to quantify COVID-19 viral load as well as assess additional clinical and laboratory determinants to determine response to therapy.

“I think some of those asymptomatic individuals are people who had symptoms who historically didn’t think of being COVID-19 related. Now, we recognize it could be COVID-19 related.

The persons who lose their sense of smell or taste, we’ve learned, probably have COVID-19.”

The test shows the burden of infectious individuals is actually larger than the number of people who medical professionals are testing and showing to be positive, he says.

Among the 20% of the patients who have more than just routine symptoms, about 15% to 20% of the total population of individuals will have more severe side effects of the virus—shortness of breath, respiratory failure, and the need to be hospitalized or be managed in ICU or on a ventilator—than population of patients

who run the highest risk for dying from COVID-19.

Gordon says patients who are sick and don’t need hospitalization could benefit from a treatment that may reduce the durations of illness and infectiousness.

On the other side, the very sick patients who are in the intensive care unit might take part in the clinical trials and reduce the illness’ severity.

“We want to prevent them from dying and ensure, when they do recover, that we can maintain their quality of life,” Gordon says. “That’s the spectrum that we’re investigating as we begin this study.”

azithromycin has the advantage of less risk of cardiac side effects compared to the other potential COVID-19 treatments.

Laboratory modeling suggests that atovaquone may be an active drug in the treatment of COVID-19, and its combination with azithromycin, studied in the rare infectious disease babesiosis, makes this an “intriguing combination to study in COVID-19,” he says.

Atovaquone, given in liquid form, and azithromycin, commonly known as Z-Pak, are administered to clinical trial patients over about 10 days. Pharmaceutical companies are looking at new drugs, but some are being repurposed, like these two, to treat COVID-19, Gordon says.

Remdesivir, a broad-spectrum antiviral medication developed by the biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, has shown to shorten the amount of time patients have to be in the hospital, Gordon says. Gilead is one of many companies working to develop antivirals.

Another possible way of treating COVID-19 is through COVID-convalescent plasma, which Gordon calls “an interesting idea.”

“COVID-19 isn’t the first pandemic to have hit in the last decade to two decades,” he adds. “MERS and SARS taught us a patient who had been infected with a virus and recovers in part because their immune system generated antibodies against the virus.

“Those antibodies land on the virus like a smart bomb and cause the immune system to attack and kill the virus.

Historically, we transfer that immunity from one patient to another by taking the antibody portion of that blood plasma and infusing it to the infected patient.”

HonorHealth is working with Vitalant, a nonprofit community blood service provider, to bring donors to undergo plasma pheresis.

Then, the plasma is infused into acutely ill patients, a procedure that is considered investigational.

Gordon says it’s been widely discussed but the goal is to motivate the previous patients to visit a blood bank to donate plasma, as the antibodies cannot be generated in a lab.

“Those individuals can donate plasma every four weeks,” Gordon says. “The more people who donate plasma, the greater the number of available units. One of the big questions is where should we use that and who should receive it?”

The clinical trial will look at the sickest of patients and see if the infusions coupled with medications help.

Funding

The atovaquone and azithromycin study is funded by and held by HonorHealth, although HonorHealth may invite other facilities around the state to take part.

“That’s a little bit of a challenge,” he says.

“We’re in the process of creating an Arizona coalition against COVID. A COVID-19 Arizona coalition is what we would think of where everybody is coming together to

work against a common foe.

“As we’re going through this process with the new clinical trial, we want to provide access as best as possible—not just to patients in HonorHealth but to all patients.”

HonorHealth Research Institute’s chief operating officer, Dr. Kiran Avancha, notes it’s exciting to have someone like Gordon, who’s an oncologist, pivot to conduct studies on COVID-19 because of the personalized medicine approach and immunological investigations, which are somewhat similar in both these disease states.

“We started right after we had the first wave of cases in Arizona, around March 2020,” Avancha says. “We were one of the first in the country to start looking into this atovaquone and azithromycin combination.

This innovation came out of the HonorHealth Research Institute as a clinical trial for a direct impact on COVID-19 patients.”

Beth Gleason, HonorHealth Research Institute’s director of research administration, says the team has collaborated around the clock to build the program.

“We’re combining the strengths and expertise of our team members in designing protocols to provide additional treatment options for patients and providers and to be supportive of the community with our research efforts here.”  JULY 2020 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

‘Community Over

Competition’ Barre3 brings people together to move their bodies

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

V

alley native Karie Johnson grew up working out at gyms that felt cliquey.

When she opened her two Barre3 franchises—including the location at Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads—she vowed her clubs wouldn’t be that way.

“It’s community over competition,” Johnson says. “It’s about bringing people together to move their body. It’s about having fun together and breathing together instead of being in competition to work out.”

Johnson, who owns another studio in Paradise Valley, says Barre3 was a natural fit for her. She enjoyed working out, as she’s an avid fan of yoga, hiking, Pilates and tennis.

Once she married pilot Adam Johnson and became a mom, it became difficult to do so.

Then her friend, Jackie Edlund, who owns Barre3 in Henderson, Nevada, encouraged her to try the studio’s online offerings. They were a godsend. She could squeeze in workouts when her girls were napping or at play dates.

“I also really fell in love with the online

community and all the warmth and support I felt through the screen,” Johnson says. “I knew I needed this in my life and wanted to bring this amazing, supportive community to Scottsdale.”

A year and a half later, North Scottsdale opened. Johnson also subscribes to the Barre3 recipes, like the sweet potato turkey chili and ahi tuna summer salad.

Between the recipes, the online community and the friendly clientele, she was sold.

“I fell in love with the company,” Johnson says. “I have two girls of my own. We get enough images pressuring us to look a certain way and be a superwoman.

“Their focus is super refreshing. We move our body to feel good. It empowers our mind and body and we feel good the rest of the day.

You get great benefits from it, too. I think that’s what brings people in. It’s so refreshing to have that focus. It’s functional fitness instead of getting bikini bodies ready.”

Barre3’s clientele is 95% women, but all the guests make it “absolutely amazing,” Johnson says.

“There are people who might leave us for numerous reasons,” she says. “But we will have people come back to us time and time again. They say they absolutely love our workout.”

Barre3 boasts a Play Lounge for kids under age 18. Minors 14 and older are also welcome to attend class with their parent or guardian. Clients 16 and 17 years old require new client waivers. Mothers can take part in pre- and postnatal low-impact workouts.

Membership is $169 per month; and there are new client specials for $49, which includes two weeks unlimited classes.

Before she partnered with Barre3, Johnson was an elementary school teacher for 11 years, most recently at Rancho Solano Preparatory School.

“I loved it,” she says. “But I have three kids and I was looking for something where I could just have a little more time and something more flexible.”

Johnson—a Shadow Mountain High School graduate who earned a bachelor’s in business management and a master’s in education from ASU—appreciates the balance Barre3 brings to her life.

“It seems like a never-ending quest, but I’m learning how to balance work with exercise and being a wife and mother,” Johnson says.

“I’m more able to focus on what really matters, like putting the phone down and spending quality time with my family. I’m also a better role model for my girls. Thanks to Barre3, I’m showing them that a mom can be strong and active and have an exciting career she truly enjoys.”  Barre3 13802 N.

eter Holt hears stories daily about The Joint’s ability to lessen the effects of pandemic stress on the body.

The quarantine forced workers to telecommute and, sometimes, use less-thanideal office furniture that causes tension in the shoulders, necks and backs.

“Ergonomically correct chairs are gone,” says Holt, The Joint’s president and chief executive officer. “We’re sitting hunched over our computers.

The stress people are under is really unprecedented.”

The Scottsdale Airpark-based company felt its services were essential and stayed open during the quarantine to make people as comfortable as possible. “ We w i l l b e o p e n w h e re v e r and whenever possible,” Holt says.

28 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / JULY 2020

“If we had any doctors or franchises who thought it was in their best interest to close, we fully supported that.”

By staying open during the pandemic, The Joint kept patients with back and neck pain, and other assorted aches, out of emergency rooms.

“We relieved some of that pressure on the health care system,” Holt says. “We allowed them to treat COVID-19 patients. We’re on the front line and truly helping our patients, and helping this country battle this pandemic.”

The Joint is adhering to all CDC guidelines. The staff removed all the nonessential items where viruses can collect. They sanitize between patients and wear gloves and masks.

“Certain adjustments we’re not doing because there’s greater exposure,” Holt says.

“A lot of these rules are governed by state or local municipalities. We ask the standard questions like if you had exposure to COVID19, The clinics are checking temperatures.

Chiropractors are medical doctors, so it’s always in a medical setting.”

by chiropractor Fred Garretson, who had a vision of bringing chiropractic care to the masses. He wanted to try it in a retail setting, where it’s inexpensive and the procedures are cash only, without insurance interference.

“He was unbelievably successful,” Holt says. “But he didn’t really understand the franchise model very well. Fast forward to 2010 when The Joint Corporation was refounded with the acquisition of the original eight franchised clinics.”

The owners found the clinics “so darn profitable,” Holt says, that the company added a portfolio of corporate clinics. As of June, The Joint has 530 clinics in 34 states.

“I think we’re playing an instrumental role in helping patients across this country,” Holt says. “We need to alleviate strains now more than ever.”

Changing attitudes

Holt is a baby boomer, and he recalls when he was younger, people considered chiropractors “quacks. It was voodoo medicine.”

“That is profoundly changing,” he says.

“If you look at our patient base, 39% are millennials, 34% are Generation X, 19% are baby boomers like me. It’s really the young people who are looking for more natural, holistic ways to get out of pain. To me, it’s so interesting.

“It’s a $15 billion industry, and it’s dominated by independent practitioners. There are 40,000 chiropractors operating in the United States today. What we’re doing is putting it into a retail center and making it convenient, affordable and accessible.”

Last year, The Joint saw 585,000 patients come through the doors for the first time. Of that 585,000, 26% had never seen a chiropractor before.

“To me, that just shows you the power of bringing it into a retail setting,” he says. “You can access it and feel comfortable trying it in a professional setting. We’re improving sanitization and cleanliness. Most of our patients are members. They come in three to four times a month.”

The Joint’s membership plans and packages eliminate the need for insurance, and its no-appointment policy, convenient hours and locations make care more accessible.

Wellness plans are $69 a month for up to four visits for adults. Additional visits are $10. Those who are unable to commit to regular visits can pay $189 for six visits; $269 for 10; or $429 for 20 per year. The typical exam is 20 minutes, with 3 to 5 minutes for the adjustment.

Holt cites a recent study that showed 30% of those who have never been to a chiropractor are scared. Holt and The Joint do their best to combat that.

“We’re really out there educating consumers about the power and efficacy of chiropractic clinics,” he says. “It’s amazing how effective it is. If you were to go to one of our clinics pre-COVID and sit in that clinic for a day and watch people come in with pain and walk out out of pain over and over again, you would see it works. You would profoundly see the power and efficacy of it.” 

When the Bakers were introduced to D1, they were immediately smitten.

“The D1 model itself is something we have always heard about,” Mike says. “The concept of an elite training facility, regardless of what your athletic ability is, was appealing to both of us.”

Together, they brought a new level of fitness training to the Valley.

Training sessions at D1 are held in a group setting, lasting roughly 54 minutes. Coached by one of the gym’s certified trainers, many of whom have achieved the highest level of certification for trainers, every workout highlights the five key elements of athletic-based training: dynamic warmup, performance, strength, core and conditioning, and Mike and Kristen Baker jumped at the opportunity to franchise D1, a cool-down. prominent training facility primarily The groups all vary by age. located in the southeast part of the D1 caters to “Rookie” (7-11), United States.

D1’s coaches provide general fitness for patrons as well as sport-specific activities that can benefit athletes of all ages. The gym has already catered to as many as 20 professional athletes seeking a viable training option during the coronavirus pandemic.

The facility is outfitted with several strength and cardio machines, as well as free weights, resistance bands and other equipment to fulfill a full-body workout. There is also an area with artificial turf, allowing for cardio training that closely resembles the same surface most athletes train on during the season.

So far, feedback has been positive.

“To have such a big brand and to see the names involved—along with the new facility, the turf and all the equipment—everyone is enjoying it,” Mike says. “It’s been very overwhelming and encouraging to see what has happened so far.”

Mike and Kristen say they enjoy bringing a new level of training and fitness to Arizona, which, as of late, has become home to several up-and-coming athletes at all levels.

“Especially right now with everything that is happening, it’s fulfilling to be able to provide a place that can almost be seen as an outlet to continue focusing on the goal you’re trying to achieve,” Kristen says. “I just enjoy being able to provide that space for you no matter what level you may be at.” 

Making Women

Beautiful Dazzle Dry has become commonplace in Scottsdale spas

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

ivian Valenty wants to help women feel beautiful.

In her mid-60s, Valenty went from the corporate world to focusing on her product Dazzle Dry, a four-step system that delivers quick-drying, long-lasting nails. She says it’s nontoxic, vegan and cruelty free, making it cleaner than any other polish in the industry.

Near the Airpark, the 13-year-old evolving product is used at Agave Spa at Westin Kierland; Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Princess; Village Gainey Ranch and Village DC Ranch.

“Growing up, I was taught that the best way to make the world a better place was to use your natural talents,” Valenty says.

“After 35 years as a bio-organic chemist, I realized that my talent was creating products that not only solved problems but did so in a natural, healthy way.”

She learned about the dangers of artificial nail enhancements.

They use chemicals that are known skin sensitizers and health hazards. Their gel counterparts also require frequent exposure to UV-A light, which can penetrate deep into the subcutaneous layer, increasing the risk of skin cancer.

“Once I discovered the dangers lurking in everyday nail care products, I became determined to find a more natural alternative, one that would still provide healthylooking nails and a polish that lasted for

at least two weeks,” she says.

In 2007, at age 63, she started her own line of nail lacquers free from harmful chemicals, animal byproducts and animal testing. The Chandler resident adds Dazzle Dry is the only quick-drying, long-lasting natural nail care system of its kind.

It uses a signature four-step system to strengthen nails, protect against abrasion, dry in just 5 minutes and deliver long-term results.

“It doesn’t require a UV-A light,” she says. “It only takes 5 minutes. After you apply the last layers, you wait 5 minutes and it is functionally dry. You can dig into your purse without ruining the polish.

“It’s similar to a gel in that it stays on the nail for seven to 14 days. Some customers are able to get three, four or five weeks out of it. I don’t prefer that, because the growth is too much already. When you are ready to take it off, it comes off like regular polish.”

This isn’t her first foray into nail products. In 1989, Valenty started working on a topcoat that dried the polish using a UV light. She sold it to a company in Scottsdale that marketed it called Pro Finish. Valenty stopped working on UV products when the FDA determined they were dangerous.

“I needed to work on something that was better,” she says. “That’s how I came up with Dazzle Dry. It took me about 13 years off and on. This doesn’t turn the nail yellow.

“This year I’m 76. It took a while for Dazzle Dry to catch on. We don’t have investors.”

Early aspirations

Valenty was born in the Philippines, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from one of the country’s top schools.

Through the government and the Ford Foundation, she was given a one-way ticket to the United States pursue her Ph.D. at Penn State. She specialized in organic chemistry—particularly bioorganic

chemistry of living things. Her plan was to return to the Philippines and do research on indigenous plants.

“I was aware of traditional medicine,” she says. “I wanted to use what was the active ingredient in the plants. I met my husband and we decided we were going to stay in the United States. I found out my skills lie in product development. It allowed me to create products from corn and soybeans. One was a replacement for phosphate in detergent to soften the water.”

She was hired by GE, which relocated her to Arizona. Eventually, she quit her job and started her company.

“I’m focused on building the Dazzle Dry brand,” she says. “As a chemist, I was never sure how the product was going to take off. I thought it would—you can get flawless nails without flawed ingredients.”

Valenty says she makes sure the ingredients are clean and nonallergenic. She says the product is so clean and healthy that women tell her their nails are stronger.

“When I talked about it with a nail tech, she said, ‘Vivian, you have a product that’s out of this world.’ It’s a dream come true for a nail tech.”

about $18 a bottle.

“Women love to be beautiful and feel good,” she says.

“You feel good when you look pretty. A lot of women, like me, move their hands around when they’re talking. They want to look pretty.

“But you can’t just buy the polish, though, and expect to get the longevity of wear. The adhesion to the nail is more complex than putting on the polish. The nails have to be prepared. It’s like if you were painting a wall or object. If you don’t prepare the surface, you won’t get a good coating. It’s a four-step system—the nail prep, the base coat, the color and the topcoat. All four are necessary to get the adhesion and longevity of wear.”

A fifth product, Revive, can be used when the polish thickens.

“I believe that beauty and wellness can go hand in hand,” she says. “And after using Dazzle Dry, my clients do, too. See for yourself what beauty without compromise looks like.” 

Graphic design is the practice of combining text with images and concepts, most often for advertisements, publications, or websites. The history of graphic design is frequently traced from the onset of moveable-type printing in the 15th century, yet earlier developments and technologies related to writing and printing can be considered as parts of the longer history of communication.

11 mayors make Scottsdale history

By Joan Fudala s Scottsdale voters head to the polls (or the mailbox) to select a new mayor, it’s an opportunity to remember those 11 mayors who have served since Scottsdale was incorporated in 1951. One served a record four terms (16 years); one served only six months; all have been dedicated to making and maintaining Scottsdale as the best place to live, work, visit, learn, raise a family, retire and thoroughly enjoy life.

Malcolm White, Mayor July 2, 1951, to June 12, 1958:  A graduate of Scottsdale High School and a flight instructor at Thunderbird II Airfield during World War II, Malcolm White was a business owner/entrepreneur.  After Scottsdale was declared incorporated June 25, 1951, by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, White was appointed as one of the original five council members.

White, owner and operator of the Tee Bar Tee theater, Tuesday night was named the first mayor of the town of Scottsdale at the first meeting of the Town Council at the home of Jack Sweeney, councilman. …

Selection of mayor and clerk (Sweeney) was made shortly after the new council had been sworn into office by William O. Glick, clerk of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. … Although members of the council represent groups that were for and against incorporation the meeting was harmonious and all members seemed in agreement.”  Scottsdale voters elected White to three two-year council terms beginning in 1952; he was appointed mayor in 1954 and 1956 by his fellow council members.  The town of Scottsdale established its first zoning ordinances, contracted with Rural Fire for fire protection, and used a room at the Rural Fire station on Second Street as town offices (1952 to 1955) before moving into the former Scottsdale Grammar School as Town Hall (1955)

of Desert Discover Center Scottsdale. In March 2020, the City Council voted to name an interpretive trail at Fraesfi eld Trailhead in her honor.

Mary Manross, Mayor June 5, 2000, to January 13, 2009  Mary Manross came to Scottsdale in 1972 and began holding leadership positions in city, community educational and church organizations. She was director of the Marriage Preparation Seminars at the Franciscan Renewal Center for 22 years and served on the city’s Parks and Recreation and Planning commissions

and the Scottsdale Bond Committee in the early 1980s.  Manross was elected to two four-year council terms beginning in 1992, and two four-year mayoral terms.  During her tenure as mayor, land was added to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and voters approved a measure to fund trailheads and trails in the preserve (especially the Gateway to the Preserve); the city partnered with ASU to establish SkySong: ASU Scottsdale Center for Innovation at the former Los Arcos Mall site; the city achieved the highest possible bond rating for a city (AAA); Pinnacle Peak

W .J. “Jim” Lane, Mayor January 13, 2009, to present (expected to term out in January 2021)  Jim Lane came to Scottsdale in 1973 and has owned and operated businesses in construction, mining, computer technology, telecommunications, regional aviation and financial consulting. Active in civic organizations, he has served on boards ranging from the Scottsdale-PV YMCA to Scottsdale’s Fire/EMS Advisory Committee.  Lane was elected to one four-year term on the Scottsdale City Council in 2004 and three four-year terms as mayor, beginning in 2009.  During his 12 years as mayor, Lane has encouraged the expansion of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve to its present 30,000-plus acres by leveraging a variety of funding opportunities and has championed the branding of Scottsdale’s biomedical resources as The Cure Corridor.

The city opened the Appaloosa Library, Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, the Tony Nelssen event center at WestWorld, and the new Aviation Business Center and Operations facility at Scottsdale Airport; and added Haikou China Uasin Gishu Kenya, Marrakesh Morocco and Killarney Ireland as Sister Cities. He has had the unexpected challenge of leading Scottsdale during the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 that has significantly impacted the economy and tourism industry.  Scottsdale mayors are now limited to three consecutive elected terms; thus Mayor Lane is ineligible to run in the 2020 elections. It is anticipated that his successor will be sworn in as the 12th mayor of Scottsdale in January 2021.

Thanks, mayors, for the countless hours you’ve given to serve us, and thanks to your families, who have participated with you in so many community celebrations and commemorations. 

Financial Directives in Times of

Emergency Take care of matters while you’re healthy

P

By Allison Kierman utting your spouse or child on your bank account or on the title to your home is unlikely to adequately protect your finances should you become incapacitated. Learn the importance of choosing a financial power of attorney.

Don’t Risk It: Protect Your Finances from Coronavirus Complications Many Americans spend a lot of time and effort in managing their finances. While most are worried about how the coronavirus will impact their income—whether that’s because they are temporarily furloughed, find themselves suddenly without a job or are watching their investment and retirement accounts dwindle—there is another way COVID-19 can wreak havoc on American’s finances: lack of incapacity planning.

As the coronavirus continues to expand across the country, thousands of Americans are unable to carry out normal financial responsibilities because they are too ill, they are stuck abroad and unable to travel home, or from a lack of resources due to being isolated at home.

While feeling healthy, individuals should plan ahead now and ensure someone will take care of their financial duties by setting up a financial power of attorney. This important legal document will not only protect your finances should you fall ill from COVID-19 but also from any events that might leave you incapacitated, like an injury or accident.

Financial Power of Attorney: What is it?

A financial power of attorney allows you to select a trusted family member or friend who will be responsible for managing your

money and other property if you become mentally incapacitated (unable to make your own decisions) due to illness or injury. Without this document, bills won’t get paid, tax returns won’t be filed, bank and investment accounts held in your name will become inaccessible, retirement distributions can’t be requested, and property can’t be bought, sold or managed.

What happens if I don’t have one and get sick?

If you get sick and are unable to make or communicate your financial decisions and don’t have an updated FPA in place, a judge can appoint someone to take control of your assets and make all personal and medical decisions for you through a court-supervised guardianship or conservatorship.

Why would a court do that?—You may ask.

As an adult, no one is automatically able to act for you. You must legally appoint them through the use of an FPA. Without it, you and your loved ones could lose valuable time, money and control.

Word of caution: Don’t think you’re protected just because your assets are held jointly with your spouse, child or family member.

Here are three reasons why you shouldn’t rely on joint ownership: 1. Limited power. While a joint account holder may be able to access your bank account to pay bills or access your brokerage account to manage investments, a joint owner of real estate will not be able to mortgage or sell the property without the consent of all other owners.

2. Tax liability. By adding a family member’s name to your accounts or real estate titles, you might be saddling them with gift tax liability.

3. Property seizure. You read that correctly.

If your joint owner is sued, then your property could be seized in order to pay their debt.

4. Medicaid disqualification. Putting a loved one’s name on a joint bank account or

40 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / JULY 2020

property title can disqualify them from receiving government benefits, such as Medicaid.

Only a comprehensive incapacity plan will protect you and your assets from a courtsupervised guardianship or conservatorship and the misdeeds of your joint owners. Do not rely on joint ownership as your plan—it’s simply too risky and unreliable.

Already have one? It may be outdated.

An FPA can become “obsolete” in as short as one year. This is because many institutions don’t want to rely on stale, outdated documents. Depending on your circumstances, a stale, obsolete power of attorney may not be able to help you and your family with insurance contracts; retirement plans; banking and investment accounts; online personal accounts such as email, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn; and elder care and special needs planning.

If it’s been more than a year or two since you’ve signed your power of attorney, it might be time for a fresh one. We can help make sure you and your family are fully protected by helping you determine: • Who would be the best choice for this responsibility.

• How much authority you should give your financial agent.

• When to make your power of attorney become effective.

Regardless of your priorities, there is a financial power of attorney right for your situation and goals. Determine your specific needs while you are of sound mind. Of course, nothing tops the advice and recommendations of an attorney experienced in these matters.  Allison Kierman 480-719-7333 kiermanlaw.com

ADVICE fromWeiss JULY 2020 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA

ARIES 3/21-4/20 This month has that in-your-face feeling.

The most important eclipses of the decade start on the full moon on July 5. This seems to continue into the next five or six months.

Issues revolving around the social cultural political economic climate will turn your work world upside down. Mars in your sign motivates you to find new resources. Not a good month for important decision making.

Situations change closer to autumn.

Personal Power Days: July 10, July 11, July 12 TAURUS 4/21-5/20 Restrictions will take dramatic turns this month. For some, unexpected events could bring a reversal of fortune, higher prices, interests and investments, so be a bit cautious of any information you receive. Issues are likely to be altered (New Moon on July 21?)

Finances seem quite neutral. July is a month of conflict. I recommend canceling all trips.

Personal Power Days: July 13, July 14 GEMINI 5/21-6/20 You’ll experience setbacks or cancellations regarding to travel. Try not to make any mistakes with paperwork. Be careful with major real estate dealings from July 1 to July 24. Clerical workers may face a cut in wages or hours due to COVID-19. You may face another stay-at-home order. Your laptop could be your best friend these next weeks ahead. You’ll complete projects by telecommuting. Utilize this time to learn something new.

Personal Power Days: July 16, July 17, July 18 CANCER 6/21-7/22 Happy birthday, Cancers! I can’t sugarcoat my column. July’s worldwide events will change your life. There is no going back. The pandemic is changing everyone’s lives and disrupting it. There is no place like home this month. New Moons are always timely for moving forward or making personal progress.

Circle July 20.

Personal Power Days: July 19, July 20 LEO 7/23-8/21 It’s eclipse season, Leo, and this month’s accent is on “preparation.” Stay put. You can accomplish more on your own from July 1 to July 21. Don’t believe everything you hear or read. Changes at work require you to put on your creative hat. Once the sun and the moon are in your sign on the 22nd, it’s time to celebrate. Mars in Aries has you motivated and competitive.

Personal Power Days: July 21, July 22 VIRGO 8/22-9/23 Many first responders are Virgos, and they won’t have time for their own interests.

Outdated rules and social norms are being dismantled. A cycle of crisis and dayto-day uncertainties take top priority all this month. Prepare for last-minute work schedule changes and demands. You’re always organized and willing to pitch in.

We are in for the long haul in regard to this global tsunami.

Personal Power Days: July 23, July 24 LIBRA 9/24-10/23 You’re a positive influence on others.

However, misunderstandings, mergers, business alliances or significant relationships seem to be under pressure. This will last until the week of July 13. You’ll reach an agreement or compromise on July 20. The cardinal square— the four signs of long duration—continue to stand firm well into the end of the year.

Personal Power Days: July 25, July 26 SCORPIO 10/24-11/22 Welcome to the intensity of another water sign, Cancer. Prepare for its goodbye in the months ahead. Keep your eye on the stock and real estate markets this month. Banks and credit investments are all concerns. July events have worldwide effects.

Personal Power Days: July 27, July 28

SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 Changes are afoot—new laws, regulations, restrictions, structures, humanitarian principles, etc. July’s big picture is being written and edited. Developments in the first three weeks are previews of what’s coming. Pay attention July 13 to July 31 and ask yourself what effect they will have on your profession and lifestyle. Learn something new to stay informed and to improve your qualifications.

Personal Power Days: July 2, July 3, July 29, July 30 CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 Agree to disagree in relationships this month. Your sign identifies with governments, corporations, businesses, responsibility and ownership. It’s what makes our material world go ‘round. Expect many small businesses to collapse. The reality is in your face.

You adapt and compromise July 20 to July 31.

Personal Power Days: July 4, July 5 July 31 AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Last month’s financial changes took you by surprise. If you’re considering a change of job, profession or relocation, July is the month to do it. Make up your mind around July 5, the full moon. Allow two weeks to prepare and follow through on July 20. Then wait it out.

The latter half of the month provides social interactions.

Personal Power Days: July 6, July 7, July 8 PISCES 2/19-3/20 You may be rewriting the rules this month. Those in the medical field will be busy. Just get the job done and deal with the hectic pace, starting on July 13. Release the fear and trust your feelings. July’s negative news is felt throughout the world and doesn’t reflect your personal circumstance.

Those on lockdown and working from home adjust well, as Pisces enjoys their own company. There will be plenty of water around us this summer.

Personal Power Days: July 9 and July 10 
