Editor’s Note Get your geek on in the Airpark

S

eptember is always a welcome turn of the calendar in the Valley and, in this September issue of Scottsdale Airpark News, we visit a few of the high-tech companies that call the Airpark home.

Want gigabytes with that? If you own or operate a restaurant, you should, according to Brad Holaway, president of Copperstate Restaurant Technologies.

His Airpark-based firm is helping eateries take a bigger bite of cutting-edge cyber service and security. About 750 clients statewide are onboard to date using Copperstate hardware and software – from kiosk ordering to real-time surveying.

Have you been told lately that you need your head examined? Probably not.

But Brain State Technologies’ “Brainwave Optimization” has been called a tune-up for your gray matter. Wynonna Judd is among 60,000 clients of the Airpark-based company, and those clients have sought help for maladies ranging from insomnia and migraines to concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injuries.

The process, which attaches electrodes to the subject’s head, is designed to balance brain-wave function in people suffering from a variety of conditions, including severe post-traumatic stress disorder. You’ll even read about a new portable model that you can now use at home.

A familiar name returns as fixed-base operator on the west side of Scottsdale Airport. Ross Aviation is back, catering to the upscale needs of private-jet clientele. Learn how Ross serves the world’s top 1% Roberta Peterson who come to Scottsdale for work or play.

Editor In Chief Whether your Scottsdale home is your year-round residence or one of several seasonal abodes, you want the décor to capture your distinctive style. Airpark-based interior design sleuths are on-hand to help you find that special, signature piece to make the place your own.

Sue Oberlin of Consign and Design opened her shop after life events in her family left her with an abundance of furniture. And when Lindsey Holt and Coley Arnold started Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market five years ago, they had 23 vendors selling products in a friend’s backyard. Now, Junk in the Trunk at WestWorld boasts more than 200 vendors offering handmade, one-of-a-kind items.

Feeling generous? We’ll introduce you to two upcoming philanthropic opportunities worthy of your support.

Eddie Johnson and Friends was created by the former Phoenix Suns sharpshooter to benefit Helping Hands for Single Moms. The event will be at at the Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia.

Another big name from the sports world, Archie Griffin – the only two-time winner of college football’s Heisman Trophy – is carrying the fundraising ball for Healthy LifeStars. The Valley nonprofit is attempting to curb the trend of childhood obesity in Arizona. Griffin will be featured at a fundraising dinner at Harley Davidson of Scottsdale in November.

Like shiny limos and polo ponies? Plan a day of posh decadence at the sixth annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower. The venue is WestWorld on November 5.

We know you’re always searching for a new breakfast or lunch spot in the Airpark. We’ll clue you in on one of each. First is the famous breakfast burrito that has gained a cult following at Rinaldi’s Deli. And, second, save room for lunch at Hopdoddy Burger Bar. With beginnings in the hip environs of Austin, this burger spot is now doing booming business in Scottsdale with a formula of “craft, fresh, fun, local and natural.” The name, by the way, is not “hip daddy.” “Hop” comes from the hops in beer, and “doddy” is a nickname for the Black Angus cow in Scotland, from whence cometh better burgers.

And with that, we’ll hop along and leave you to devour this issue of Scottsdale Airpark News.

Happy reading!

LaSalle Investment Management buys Silverstone Marketplace for $47 million.

Silverstone Marketplace purchased by Chicago-based group Silverstone Marketplace, a newly constructed grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping center at the southeastern corner of Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads in Scottsdale, sold for $47 million to Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Management, Cushman & Wakefield announced.

The seller was RHVT Limited Partnership, a joint venture formed by Arizona-based businessman Larry Van Tuyl and developer Craig Eisenberg of Eisenberg Company in Phoenix.

Cushman & Wakefield executive managing directors Ryan Schubert and Michael Hackett represented the buyer.

Ryan Amato and Jason Eisenberg of the Eisenberg Company of Phoenix represented the sellers.

Silverstone Marketplace, built in 2015, has 78,000 square feet of retail space.

Anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market, the neighborhood shopping center is 100% occupied by a diverse tenant roster, including Einstein Bagels, Verizon,

Mattress Firm, 1st Bank, Tenet Urgent Care, Massage Green, Eddie Merlot’s Steakhouse, Firehouse Subs and Pacific Dental. The property spans 12 acres and offers excellent frontage and visibility on Scottsdale Road.

“Silverstone Marketplace was the culmination of many years of site planning, development, leasing and property management by the developers,” according to Amato.

The upscale shopping center serves the affluent neighboring master-planned communities of Grayhawk, Desert Foothills, Boulders, Troon and DC Ranch.

Silverstone Marketplace is part of the Silverstone Development, a mixed-use project consisting of office, retail, public library and assisted living.

“Silverstone Marketplace offered LaSalle Investment Management the rare opportunity to acquire a newly developed trophy retail center in the prestigious north Scottsdale area anchored by a top tier Sprouts Farmers Market,” added Schubert.

Since opening a clinic in Scottsdale in 1987 and hospital in Phoenix in 1998, Mayo Clinic has grown to become a vital part of Arizona and the Southwest, bringing many medical innovations to Arizona including: • Proton beam therapy, part of Mayo Clinic’s National Cancer Institutedesignated comprehensive cancer center. This therapy is a more precise radiological cancer treatment using specialized “pencil beam” technology to eradicate hard-to-reach tumors.

• Regenerative medicine, harnessing the potential to repair diseased, injured

or congenitally defective tissues and organs.

• Individualized medicine, bringing forward the latest discoveries in genomics-based tests.

• Expansion of the Mayo Medical School in Arizona, soon to bring new ideas to improve quality, outcomes and cost, and to prepare future doctors to not only deliver, but to administer care.

Hospitals included in the U.S. News Report are part of an elite group recognized for “breadth of excellence,” according to the magazine. Mayo Clinic in Arizona ranked nationally in 10 specialties including: cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, ear, nose and throat, gastroenterology and gastroenterologic surgery, geriatrics, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and pulmonology.

Cigna recognizes Scottsdale for its commitment to employee health, wellness

Cigna has selected Scottsdale as a winner of the third annual Cigna WellBeing Award, along with SmartPractice and Tucson Airport Authority, for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and wellness of its employees through workplace-wellness programs.

“We are pleased to recognize the city of Scottsdale, SmartPractice and Tucson Airport Authority for the Cigna WellBeing Award. These three employers are passionate about investing in a culture of health,” said Edward Kim, president and general manager for Cigna in Arizona.

“Workplace wellness is becoming an industry-wide priority and many employers have experienced a reduction in health care costs as a result of health and wellness initiatives.”

Scottsdale’s Live Life Well is a comprehensive program based on five pillars, which include health promotion, physical activity, safety, finance and well community. The city offers onsite and online classes for employees on wellness, stress management, employee-assistance programs, physical fitness, nutrition and tobacco cessation.

The city also offers health and wellness incentives for employees and spouses who complete their annual health screening.

“We value our wellness program and will continue to enhance it with many new health initiatives on the horizon,” said Seth Dusek, Scottsdale’s wellness coordinator. “We are seeing some exciting results. For example, we just wrapped up a 10-week, weight-loss challenge that had 500 participants who lost over 6,000 pounds, with 350 people losing more than five percent of their body weight.”

According to the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention, U.S. employers lose more than $225 billion each year in productivity due to employee health problems. Cigna created the Well-Being Award to recognize employer clients that have a positive impact on the health and well-being of their workforce.

Applicants are evaluated based on the core components of their wellness program, including the goals, implementation, incentives, leadership engagement and employee participation. All applications are reviewed and judged by an internal, multi-departmental review committee from Cigna.

stagnation but the U.S. Travel Association’s Travel Trends Index shows international travel into the United States will be more subdued for the remainder of 2016.

U.S. travel volume is anticipated to grow 1.6% through the end of the year, mostly driven by domestic leisure travel.

“Overall inbound travel will remain modest through the end of the year,” said Adam Sacks of Tourism Economics.

“Domestic leisure travel will remain healthy as we move through the summer travel season, while continued economic uncertainty will hold back business travel in the coming months.”

Millennial travelers mirror mainstream preferences A new study from American Express Travel found that 76.3% of Millennials prefer to stay in a traditional hotel room while on vacation, which is on par with Boomers.

However, Millennials plan to travel more frequently in the next five years and spend more on travel.

Millennials also are likely to use a travel agent to plan their trips, with nearly 60% stating as much.

And while Millennials prefer customization—with 70% saying they prefer personalized experiences—58.7% said they would book a pre-packaged vacation if it were less expensive.

To get that personalized experience, Millennials are more willing than Boomers to let brands use data from past travel purchases.

for Arizona, according to a study conducted by Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business’ Seidman Research Institute.

The study found that the Fiesta Bowl generated $111.6 million and the Cactus Bowl $30.7 million, with an additional $27.1 million in organizational spending.

The games, which attracted more than 60,775 visitors to the Valley, also resulted in $79 million in direct spending and more than $7.5 million in tax revenue for the area, according to the study.

“When visitors come to our games, they dine at local restaurants, stay at local hotels and shop at local stores,” Fiesta Bowl Executive Director Mike Nealy said.

“Hopefully, visitors will have a memorable experience and a big win for their team. Surely, it’s a big win financially for the state and our community.”

Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, which opened in January 2015, has been selected Best Western Art Museum in the nation for its “extraordinary exhibitions and dedication to Western art and culture,”

by True West magazine.

“We are honored to be recognized along with other well established and distinguished Western art museums,” said Mike Fox, director and CEO of Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West.

“This speaks to the dedication of our outstanding staff and volunteers and the quality of the artwork and Old West artifacts that have been generously loaned to us during our first year and a half of operation."

True West magazine recently honored Scottsdale's Museum of the West.

The honor appears in a ranking of Western art museums published in the True West September issue.

The 63-year-old, national publication is based in Cave Creek, and presents true stories of Old West adventure, history, culture and preservation.

“Scottsdale’s Museum of the West’s dedication to its mission of preserving and interpreting our great Western art is inspiring,” commented True West Executive Editor Bob Boze Bell.

“They keep the spirit of the Old West alive.”

The 43,000-square-foot, two-story museum was built by and is owned by Scottsdale, and is managed and operated

by Scottsdale Museum of the West, a nonprofit organization.

It is in downtown Scottsdale’s arts district at 3830 N. Marshall Way. Cementing its position as a leading Western art museum, Fox said museum guests in the coming weeks and months can look forward to two art exhibitions of the highest caliber.

One features contemporary artist John Coleman, opening Saturday, Sept. 17.

The second is “The Artists of Taos,” opening Jan. 10, 2017.

Eddie Johnson and Friends is Sept. 24 at the Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia to fund scholarships for Helping Hands for Single Moms.

My Mom, My Hero Eddie Johnson and Friends gala provides scholarships for local, single moms

By Erica J. Thompson

F

ourteen years ago Chris Coffman was looking for a way to help the community, but he wasn’t sure how he could help. A chance encounter with a young boy clarified that.

Coffman saw the child walking alone and accompanied him home. Raised by a single mother, the boy arrived at his house with Coffman to find the woman sleeping.

She believed her daughter was watching the boy.

“I began to think through what can we do as churches to help single moms?”

Coffman says, “The answer was help them go to college.”

Phoenix-based Helping Hands for Single Moms was founded in 2002 and has aided more than 450 single moms and their families.

“We know that we are in and headed for a college-based economy. People are going to have to have some kind of post-

Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla mascot attend a previous Eddie Johnson and Friends fundraiser.

secondary education,” Coffman says.

To fund scholarships, Helping Hands for Single Moms is hosting the third annual Eddie Johnson and Friends at 5 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 24, at the Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia in Scottsdale.

Tickets start at $150 and can be purchased at helpinghandsforsinglemoms.org.

A former Phoenix Suns basketball player, Johnson became involved with Helping Hands three years ago. He spoke at an event and was touched by the work that Helping Hands was doing for single moms in the Valley. According to Johnson working with Helping Hands was a “no brainer.”

Johnson himself came from a single -parent household. “My mom raised seven kids by herself,” Johnson says. “I understand the struggles of a woman who has to go work an eight-hour job and then raise kids.”

Since Johnson teamed with Helping Hands, they have held two fundraising events, including a friendly hoops competition at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

One of the things that Johnson loves about hosting these events is that it allows him to cull athletes from around the Valley and the country to come together and network.

Johnson also loves that the event “shows athletes in vulnerable, uncomfortable situations while laughing and have fun with it...Not all football players can make a jump shot, and not all basketball players can throw a football.”

The goal for this year’s event to get the audience in on the fun. “That’s what its all about, getting the audience involved, giving them the history of this tremendous organization, and raising money for single moms” Johnson says.

The charity event has grown each year, with organizers anticipating more than 350 patrons in September. Organizers have put a different spin on the event. They will host a stage performance and panel made up of moms and wives of star athletes— Doris Johnson, Lucille O’Neal, Brenda Warner and Camilla Ratliff, the parents of Eddie, Shaquille, the wife of Kurt Warner, and Theo Ratliff’s mom, respectively.

Coffman also hopes to inspire patrons through the theme and stage program, “My Mom, My Hero.”

“Motherhood is the theme this year. We are honoring mothers for what they do,” Coffman says.

Warner will then return to the stage to host the game “Boys Do the Craziest Things.”

Johnson is excited to bring his friends along to raise awareness and funds for the single moms of Helping Hands, because many athletes come from single-parent homes. Johnson hopes that the night will help the single moms who receive scholarships find inspiration from the panel of mothers because, “it is always good for them to see an example that can continue to push them.”

As for Coffman, he is in awe of the work he and his foundation have been able to achieve. When the first woman graduated, he vowed to grow the program because, he says, it is important.

That is just what happened. Helping Hands became Coffman’s full-time calling.

This year Helping Hands for Single Moms anticipates that it will award 100 scholarships to single moms in the Valley. The program has expanded to Tucson and Dallas.

The scholarships help cover tuition, however, the “scholarship plus” offers auto repair, towing, dental care for the moms, carpet cleaning, holiday gifts for the kids and family outings to sporting venues. 

Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market is Friday, Sept. 16, to Sunday, Sept. 18, at WestWorld. It boasts more than 200 vendors offering one-of-a-kind items.

One Man’s Trash...

... is another's new treasure at the annual Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market at WestWorld

hen Lindsey Holt and Coley Arnold started Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market five years ago, it had just 23 vendors selling products in a friend’s backyard.

It was an unexpected success that made Arnold and Holt realize that they could make a business out of their love for the vintage lifestyle.

“I think after the first market did so well we got a grand vision for an annual event that would bring together the entire vintage community in the Valley,” Holt says.

Now, Junk in the Trunk is a hotly anticipated event at WestWorld that boasts more than 200 vendors offering curated, handmade, one-of-a-kind items. This year, it is Friday, Sept. 16, to Sunday, Sept. 18.

Tickets are $8 to $65, with the most expensive including entrance to the market on Friday night, one day before the shopping frenzy begins on Saturday.

Parking is $5.

The Friday event is perfect for those who don’t like crowds or waiting in long lines.

“Friday night is a really fun date night or girl’s night out where you can come and shop and have more of a relaxed feel,” Arnold says. “It is a little more expensive, but you get first dibs on everything.”

The Friday night ticket also includes early bird re-entry on Saturday morning to allow for first pick after the vendors have restocked their products.

The market draws people together with one goal in mind: to find the perfect piece that can make a house more of a home.

Kevin Holt, Lindsey’s husband and now

business partner, adds that the event has struck a chord in the community.

“We see a lot of mothers and daughters and sisters come back every year and use the event as a mom’s day out or reunion,” he says.

Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market not only serves as a place to unite friends and families, but it brings together some of the top vintage vendors.

Popular vendors include Olive Wood Designs, which creates wood-cutout heart decor out of tree branches, and Jackson Boulevard, which sells wood signs with sayings on them.

If hearts and wood signs aren’t your style, there is more to shop for at the three-day event. There are vendors who specialize in kid’s items, while others specialize in industrial pieces and antique tools. Kevin Holt adds that there are many vendors who bring unique items from out of state or even out of the country.

“We’ve had old windows from a church in the 1800s,” he says. “A lot of our vendors will bring things back from Europe, so we're getting stuff that’s from the 1700s, 1800s that has a story behind it.”

Families are welcome Holt and Arnold are both moms of three young children and have made the market a family-friendly event.

“It is definitely fun for the family,” Lindsey Holt says. “We do have a ton of moms who bring their kids and we see them dancing in the aisles and they are having a great time, too.”

The women suggest bringing a wagon for children or for all the new finds.

“We do see the moms who bring their strollers and not their children, so they can put all of their stuff in the strollers,” Holt adds with a laugh.

Arnold and Holt have a few tips to help patrons enjoy their time at the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market. For one, Arnold says, “make a list of things that you are looking for. If you’re looking for a specific item, have the measurements ready.”

Holt adds that shoppers should wear good walking shoes.

“Be prepared to walk because it is a big event. I would say take most of the day, if you are coming on Saturday and Sunday.”

Most important if you find a dream you can’t live without, buy it because most vintage pieces are rare. “Sleeping on it” could result in someone else going home with it. Be sure to heed Arnold’s advice, “If you see something that catches your eye, we recommend buying it right away. Because the person right behind you could be looking at the same piece.” 

The annual Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market at WestWorld draws people together with one goal in mind: to find the perfect piece that can make a house more of a home.

A vast array of items will be for sale at the annual Junk in the Trunk, whch runs September 16-18. More than 200 vendors are expected.

Ross Aviation followed a circuitous path of ownership changes back to Scottsdale Airport as fixed-base operator in July.

Ross Aviation returns to Scottsdale Airport

By Lee Shappell

Y

ou roll up to the tarmac at Ross Aviation at Scottsdale Airport aboard your Citation X+ and, after the long flight, it’s thirsty.

And so are you.

You have business to do, and your rental Bentley, for which you’re paying $1,500 a day, awaits you at the bottom of the aircraft, stocked with cool refreshments to keep you properly hydrated in the summer desert heat.

While you’re looking good around Scottsdale in your rental wheels, your aircraft is refueled with Jet A, cleaned, serviced and made ready to go for you when you complete your stay.

Being among the top 1% of income earners in the world, you expect this level of service. To you, it is no luxury.

The crew at Ross Aviation, which returned to Scottsdale Airport as a fixed base operator (FBO) in July, is aware. It’s all in a day’s work to them.

“We’re a gas station for aircraft, but we’re a lot more than that,” says Rick Wielebski, general manager of Ross Aviation.

It’s a nonstop parade of well-to-do people on the go who fly in and out of Scottsdale.

Most are here for business in the burgeoning

Airpark area.

Some are here for pleasure in what Wielebski refers to as “the season,” January through March, when nearby high-end auto shows and auctions and a professional golf tournament bring visitors with thick wallets.

Occasionally, a Super Bowl or college football national championship game is played in the Valley, making “the season” busier yet for the Ross crew.

Ross is one of two FBOs at the airport. It operates on the west side, Signature Flight Support on the east. Among the services provided by an FBO are fueling aircraft, booking rental vehicles, lodging or catering.

“We perform concierge-type services on top of providing towing, lavatory and general services for aircraft,” says Laura Gish, the Ross customer service manager.

The Ross facility is similar to an airline’s private club at a commercial airport.

If it is a brief stop, a customer may rent a conference room at Ross, conduct a meeting, and then fly off to the next stop, for example.

Ross also offers a business center and quiet rooms with comfortable chairs for relaxation. It has showers and “snooze rooms.”

“People don’t realize that a lot of our

32 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

customers aren’t just passengers,” Wielebski says. “They see a jet come in, see a limo pull up, they think the deal is over. But there’s also pilots stuck here for a day, or for a number of hours until the owner of the aircraft is ready to leave. So we try to make this as much of a home as we can.”

There’s a bistro and flight-planning area.

In April, a self-service, aviation gas station debuted at Ross for piston-driven aircraft.

“It was part of the airport master plan, so we stepped to the plate and spent about $50,000 and put it in,” Wielebski says. “It gave the avgas community an opportunity to buy fuel for a couple of dollars a gallon less. They weren’t buying it here before. We’re excited to see where that goes.”

If a person is going out on a private plane, they may drive either their personal car or their rental car out to it, Gish says.

“It could be their Tesla, or their Mercedes, their Range Rover, Maserati—we’ve seen them all,” she says. “We then valet the car and when they come back we wash the car and bring it out to the plane.”

According to Wielebski, “We don’t get any crazy, unusual requests. One of the things we’re proud to have here is our rental-car

agency. It’s not like Hertz. Our customers can get a Ferrari. They can get a Bentley. It’s not an odd request if you’re used to this kind of a market.”

Wielebski, 36, says the facility received a $1.3 million remodeling to get ready for traffic for the 2015 Super Bowl in Glendale. A new lobby was built, encased in glass, to give it a modern feel.

“Before, if you were going to walk into our lobby, you had to walk up to a gate and buzz at a buzzer box, so your first experience with a customer-service rep was through a box,” Wielebski says. “We took that out, a giant improvement for the experience of our customer. Now you can walk right into our lobby and the building flows better in every way.”

A competitive advantage, according to Wielebski, is the long-lasting relationships between employees and customers. Gish is in her 21st year. The top two line technicians have 25-plus years of experience each. The mechanic is a 25-year veteran.

“We have our core group that has been here forever, and our customers look for those people,” Wielebski says. “It’s a place that people come back to every year and look for that friendship, that camaraderie, and the expected level of service.

“You come to Scottsdale and you’re going to pay a little more money for the service but they know that, and they keep coming back every single year.”

If your plane is touched with a Ross Aviation tug, there are two walkers with it if it goes in and out of a hangar. The tow-driver certification is rigorous. The fuel is clean, with records and tests to verify it.

“There are all of these processes that happen in the background, that our customers

Ross Aviation is no stranger to Scottsdale Airport but the company has followed a circuitous path to regaining a position as FBO in July: Jeff Ross, president of the company, purchased Scottsdale Air Center on the airport’s east side in 2005 as he was growing the Ross Aviation FBO chain. He retained the local facility’s name.

“It could be confusing to some. They may not know that he owned it because it was still under the Scottsdale Air Center name,” Gish says.

It gets more confusing.

Landmark Aviation, which was the FBO on the airport’s west side, purchased the Ross chain in 2014, briefly giving Landmark both FBOs at the airport. Landmark was ordered to divest itself of one of them under federal antitrust law. Signature Flight Support then purchased the east side FBO. To further complicate the scenario,

Signature Flight Support purchased the Landmark Aviation chain in February of this year—briefly giving Signature both Scottsdale FBOs. As Landmark had before it, Signature had to divest itself of one of them.

Jeff Ross, who had been looking to get back into the FBO business, purchased the Long-term employees have persevered through the ownership changes.

Wielebski acknowledges that it is an open competition between the FBOs at Scottsdale, and that fuel pricing sometimes is the deciding factor.

“During ‘the season’ we look for 25,000- to 30,000-gallon days, that’s how we measure our business,” Wielbeski says. “That’s a lot of jet fuel running through the trucks.”

There are about 70 arrivals a day in the busy season, he says. This time of year, it’s half that and the gallons are a third of that.

“These are the top 1% of income earners in the world,” Gish, the customer-service manager, says. “They come with expectations and we make sure to fill those expectations.” 

hildhood obesity is on the rise across the country and, according to the Child Policy Research Center, 30.6% of Arizona children ages 10 to 17 are obese or overweight.

Healthy LifeStars (HLS), a Valley nonprofit, is attempting to curb this trend in Arizona, boosted by a fundraising dinner in Scottsdale featuring two-time

college football Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin.

The celebration is 5:30 p.m.

Polo players take to the WestWorld field for a day of rousing action.

Beauties, Beasts & Bentleys The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower brings polo—and much more—to the Valley in November

By Sondra Barr

P

repare to behold all of the beauty and power of horses, automobiles, and polo players your eyes can handle.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, the sixth annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower comes to WestWorld for a day of posh decadence.

Equal parts pageantry and panache, the event offers high revelry for a modern age complete with luxury vehicles, fashion, art, music, cocktails, dancing, fireworks, and, yes, beautiful women

(and men) competing astride powerful beasts traveling upward of 30 mph.

This year the event is even bigger and better than ever with four premier polo matches featuring some of the best players in the world including America’s top polo player and GQ model Nic Roldan. He’ll be playing in the featured match at The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships for the third time as a member of the Aspen Valley Polo Club, which will be defending its title.

According to event founder Jason

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

Rose, “It’s the world’s most interesting polo party.” You’d be hard pressed not to agree if you’ve attended in years past. Akin to the vibrant atmosphere at the 16th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, but with polo––not golf––in the starring role, it draws a diverse crowd who come to experience the events within events. With general admission starting at just $20 and a special $10 twilight-only pass good after 3 p.m., all the way to a front-row table in the Molina Fine Jewelers’ tent for $3,500,

with numerous options in between, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at multiple price points.

But there’s more than just polo. As one of Scottsdale’s must-attend events of the year, more than 11,000 people annually turn out for what has transformed into the country’s most attended polo event.

Here’s a sampling of what you can look forward to at the 2016 polo party.

Sue Oberlin, owner of Consign and Design, holds a Swarovski jeweled picture frame.

Furnishing an opportunity Consign and Design shop owner made career from extra tables and chairs she needed to sell

By Gretchen Pahia

W

hether it’s business-office or home renovations, Consign and Design is equipped to help you with whatever your heart desires, no matter what your taste or style.

The upscale furniture and home accessories consignment store, in the Total Wine Center off Scottsdale Road south of Shea Boulevard, opened about eight months ago.

Owning a consignment store wasn’t always in the cards for Sue Oberlin. It was something that she fell into out of necessity, she believes.

“We had some things happen with our family that resulted in us ending up with a lot of furniture,” says Oberlin.

“So in the beginning, many of the consignment pieces were furniture that was our own.”

Now, Oberlin says business is better

A footed jar with lid at Consign and Design in Scottsdale. than she could have imagined.

“When we started, it was just us.

Now, in less than a year, we have more

40 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

than 50 consigners and more coming in all the time,” Oberlin says.

The choice of location was easy for Oberlin and her business partner due to the selection of product they wanted to carry in the store.

“We are a bit more upscale of a store, and the Total Wine center is a very busy center with lots of traffic going in and out all day long,” says Oberlin. “We see a lot of foot traffic from people coming from other stores and the area. The location has been a really good fit for us.”

For shoppers, there is a variety of product throughout the 2,500 square feet of space. According to Oberlin, the unpredictability of the types of items coming in precludes gauging what shoppers can expect on any given day.

The inventory is trending toward contemporary pieces.

“I am having a hard time keeping those types of furniture pieces in stock,” says Oberlin. “Whenever something contemporary comes into the store, it doesn’t last more than a couple of days before someone comes in and buys it.”

It isn’t just contemporary styles that are popular, she says. Plenty of customers are looking for modern, classic and everything in between. The store is full of options.

Expansion is on the minds of Oberlin and her business partner. Their lease is for three years and they are hoping to continue to grow where they are but Oberlin would love to see more Consign and Design stores pop up over time.

“We are very particular in the items we take in, not only because we want to offer the best to our customers, but spacing issues call for it,” says Oberlin.

Carrying top brands, such as Waterford, Jay Strongwater, William Sonoma and Crate and Barrel, caters to the discriminating shopper.

“There are people who might think our prices are high, but others who believe we are pretty reasonable. We price them at fair market value, based on research and condition, so there is no cause for concern for our customers,”

Giuseppe Armani figurines add class to any home decor.

Oberlin says.

Keeping the shop moving forward is a task, she says, because it is basically a one-person shop most days.

Oberlin relies on a technologically savvy system found after research on market products. Consign and Design uses the point of sale web-based system The Consignment Shop, which is all

encompassing. It is a bar-code scanning system, which was basically plug and go for Oberlin.

“I purchased all the pieces, the software, the scanners, everything, to make it seamless for everything. It is very user friendly and I have 24-hour support,” Oberlin says. “I don’t know what other consignment shops are using but this one works really well for me.”

Oberlin adds that this program was customized for Consign and Design’s needs, as well, geared toward the specific product line of home furnishings and accessories they would be selling.

Oberlin, with just a few months under her belt, is looking toward the future with open eyes and excitement.

“We have some great success so far and we haven’t even hit the prime retail season,” she says. “We are excited to see the upcoming holiday season, see how our clients respond to what we have to offer, and then really be able to gauge a full year of business at that time.”  Consign and Design 10300 N.

rememberwhen

During the 1950s, the Scottsdale Marshall/Scottsdale Police Department was housed in Town Hall, the 1909-vintage Little Red Schoolhouse, now the Scottsdale Historical Museum.

Scottsdale has a proud history of law enforcement

By Joan Fudala

F

or more than 90 years, dedicated peace officers have been enforcing the law and ensuring public safety in Scottsdale. Technology and techniques may have changed over the decades, but the integrity, bravery and community-mindedness of Scottsdale’s marshals, police and public-safety officials has grown ever stronger.

Here is just a sample of countless interesting moments in Scottsdale’s law-enforcement history: • Until Scottsdale’s incorporation as a town in 1951, law enforcement was the responsibility of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Townsfolk

also “policed” the town and kept an eye out for trouble, of which there was little in the sparsely populated, farming/ranching era of the first half of the 20th century.

• Scottsdale’s first murder was May 6, 1901, when a deranged man killed two workers on Chaplain Winfield and Helen Scott’s ranch (now the northeastern corner of Scottsdale and Indian School roads). Scott was home at the time and suffering from a broken leg; Mrs. Scott rendered aid to the two shooting victims. A resident was sent to the Crosscut Canal where the closest telephone

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

as located to summon t e s eri e devastated small town held a memorial service on the Scotts’ ranch to honor the two victims.

• By the early 1920s, Scottsdale’s population had grown enough (several hundred residents) that Maricopa County established a voting precinct, a Justice of the Peace position (first JP was William Kimsey, a businessman and father of the future second mayor, Mort Kimsey) and a Constable position (which Al Frederick held for 30 years).

• When Frederick became ill in early 1950, he was so well respected that

the town took up a collection to send him for diagnosis/treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Regrettably, he died a few months later, and Maricopa County appointed his wife, Ivy Frederick, to serve out his term.

• Following incorporation in June 1951, the Town Council appointed Hurley Pruitt as the first permanent town marshal. After his death in office in December 1956, “Red” Cooper became marshal. Volunteers of the Scottsdale Marshal’s Posse—businessmen and civil leaders such as Lute Wasbotten and Earl Shipp—assisted the town marshal during the 1950s and 1960s.

By 1961, the newly renamed Scottsdale police force had an 18-member police force, according to a League of Women Voters brochure.

the town Marshal Department was housed in Town Hall, the 1909-vintage Little Red Schoolhouse on Main Street.

Although there was a temporary holding cell in the basement, prisoners were transported and held at the Tempe Jail until Scottsdale built its own facility adjacent to Town Hall in the early 1960s.

• The new Scottsdale Police and City Court Building—designed

by Scottsdale architects Joe Wong, Ray Parrish and Don Van Ess—was described in the June 9, 1961, Scottsdale Progress: “Mexican craftsmen in Sonora have carved huge entrance doors which will be installed this week on the new Scottsdale municipal law enforcement building and jail on East Main Street.

Bucking Tradition Hopdoddy Burger Bar makes hamburgers hip

T

By Kenneth LaFave his isn’t your grandpa’s hamburger. When the betweenthe-buns choices include arugula, seared poblanos, truffle aioli, goat cheese, brie and honey wasabi, then you know you’re not in the malt shop anymore.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar began in the hip environs of Austin, known for independent music-making and an adventurous food scene. Lucky Arizona was the first state the chain traveled to after Texas. In the three years it’s been open, the shop on North Scottsdale Road has nurtured a loyal and enthusiastic clientele, thanks to its five-item foundational guidelines: “Craft, fresh, fun, local and natural,” says Brian Leeds, who manages the Hopdoddy at 11055 N. Scottsdale Rd. “Craft refers to our beers. We don’t have Coors Light on tap.

We have water, if that’s what you want,” Leeds says, smiling at the comparison.

No Coors, but here’s a short list of some of the Arizona craft beers on tap: Scottsdale Blonde, Grand Canyon Pilsner, Sleepy Dog Milk Stout, Red Rover, Epicenter Amber, Cartel’s F.Y.I.T.M. Imperial IPA. “Fresh” means fresh as in nothing is prepared ahead of time and then stored. Buns are baked on premises daily. No meat ingredients are ever frozen. The burger patties are shaped from beef ground daily in the restaurant, from briskets delivered each morning.

“Local” means everything that can be locally sourced, is, and “natural” points to Hopdoddy’s commitment to beef from humanely raised cattle, as well as naturally raised produce.

As for “fun,” the staff makes that happen with authentically friendly service.

The name, by the way, is not “hip daddy.” As Leeds explains, “hop” comes from the hops in beer, and “doddy” is a popular nickname for

It is Hopdoddy, not “hip daddy.” “Hop” is from the hops in beer. “Doddy” is a nickname for the Black Angus cow in Scotland. the Black Angus cow in Scotland.

“So it combines the two things we do best: burgers and beer,” Leeds says.

And “best” is not just a word here. Zagat raves about the burgers at Hopdoddy, and Rachel Ray has named their product her favorite burger. The trick, if you want to call it that, is Hopdoddy’s exploitation of the place where taste meets texture.

Combinations of ingredients are chosen for their blend of flavors, of course, but also for way they melt in the mouth, crunch beneath the teeth and roll on the tongue.

Take the “Triple B” Burger ($12), a special of the month of August, and possibly destined for the regular menu. My companion—also known as my son—at lunch ordered it, and says he found the combination “Local” means everything that can of a premium, savory beef patty be locally sourced, is, at Hopdoddy and pungent/peppery arugula Burger Bar.

here. My son ordered the Maple Bacon Waffle Cone Shake ($6), which he described as drinking a particularly yummy breakfast.

And yes, you’ll want fries with that. All Hopdoddy fries are cut and cooked from Kennebec potatoes, and you can choose from, among others, plain fries or fries topped with green chili queso. I get the appeal of potatoes as a foil, but do yourself a favor and go for the truffle fries ($6.95, serves two or more), redolent of truffle aioli but still tasting like potato. You’ll never ask for ketchup again. 

Shakes are another Hopdoddy Burger Bar specialty. The Maple Bacon Waffle Cone Shake is akin to drinking a particularly yummy breakfast.

with a warm, sweetish Bourbonbacon-onion jam, topped by melted blue jack cheese and finished with snappy tobacco onions a memorable burger experience.

“Over the top” is a phrase that may come to mind when considering the burger just described, or several of Hododdy’s other offerings: El Diablo ($8.50), with pepper jack, habaneros, serranos, caramelized onions, salsa roja and chipotle mayo, for example, or Magic Shroom ($8.75) with field mushrooms, goat cheese and basil pesto.

Not in the mood for beef? Neither was I, so I went for the Thunderbird ($10), chicken with apple-smoked bacon, pepper jack, seared poblanos and Chipotle mayo. Chicken “burgers” are notorious for being dry and chewy, but Hopdoddy’s was juicy and tender. The thin sheet of poblanos was the perfect flavor and texture to enhance the chicken. Hopdoddy’s also offers sandwiches featuring buffalo, turkey and ahi tuna.

If beer isn’t your thing at the moment or your age forbids it, fear not: shakes are another specialty

That Extra Touch Rinaldi’s makes sure customers leave happy

By Jo Pullen

O

n any given morning, you can get in line for a famous breakfast burrito at Rinaldi’s deli and you might be standing next to some equally well-known friends, like rapper Young MC, Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane, NFL referee Ed Hochuli, or golfer Phil Mickelson’s caddy.

The made-to-order, fresh breakfast burritos have gained a cult-like following and the restaurant serves up hundreds of the handheld delights daily for 13 years at the Scottsdale Promenade location. Each burrito is made with fresh, cracked eggs, generous portions of meat, cheese, and seasoned potatoes, wrapped in a fresh tortilla and grilled, with a side of homemade salsa. The mild, nineingredient salsa is made by co-owner

Rinaldi's co-owner John Sayegh says that even executives from a competitor regularly eat at his Airpark shop, which offers free delivery.

Bolivia Sayegh and since 2013 it has been bottled and available for purchase in the deli.

“Our team has ordered up to 15 burritos at once, they are so fresh and delicious,” praises regular patron Tylor Nestor, who works nearby at the Foods2000 corporate office, also located in the Scottsdale Airpark. “We even get the McDonald’s corporate team in here on a regular basis, ordering our breakfast items over a McMuffin,” claims co-owner John Sayegh.

But it’s not just the burritos that keep them coming back, customers—both celebs and not—flock to the restaurant daily for the fresh, classic New York deli offerings that owners, John and Bolivia Sayegh, have been serving up, with a smile, since they opened their doors in 2003.

All of the meat at the owner-operated deli is hand sliced to order, and they only use Boar’s Head Premium cold cuts. One of the most popular specialties on the menu is the roast beef, which is no surprise because the meat is prepared in-house, daily. Other hot sandwich options include brisket, eggplant, chicken parmesan, meatball and sausage and pepper. Sayegh claims if he had to choose a last meal, he would go with the brisket. The owner eats two meals a day at the restaurant, alternating between hot classics like the pastrami and brisket sandwiches, and sometimes just a basic bologna sandwich.

He claims the menu options are endless, “if a customer can dream up something they want, and we have the ingredients, we’ll make it for them.”

Born and raised in the Bronx, he has spent nearly 40 years in the restaurant industry, mainly working in delis and markets. When he and his wife moved to Arizona in 1993, they began their desert delicatessen journey on Mill Avenue in Tempe. In 2003, the property owner of their current Scottsdale location told them they had to check out the new space available. Once they visited the space, it wasn’t long before they moved north to Scottsdale Promenade. “When we opened in 2003, there were less than 10 restaurants around us, now we have

The breakfast burro is among the offerings that has built a cult-like following at Rinaldi's.

His favorite part of the business is the regular customers who come in with their families. He enjoys greeting them daily, building relationships, and passing an extra cookie or cannoli to the children. When a customer isn’t satisfied with their experience or meal, the owners take immediate action and talk through the issue with the patron.

“I want to make sure they leave here happy, whether that’s from me telling a funny story, or offering a little extra if they aren’t satisfied.” Sayegh says.

In addition to their regular menu offerings of breakfast and lunch deli items, they offer catering—hot, cold, delivery, onsite cooking, whatever the customer desires. They recently catered a party for Airpark-based Harley Davidson and spent the day barbecuing outside at the motorcycle company’s event. “It’s our hands-on approach, that creates the personal experience, that sets us apart from other deli choices,” adding to the word-of-mouth buzz that keeps the line stacked at this local deli, serving NYC’s greatest in the heart of the Scottsdale Promenade. 

work will be more important as people consider their employment and healthplan options.

Do nothing: Not offering health insurance remains an option for employers with fewer than 50 full-time-equivalent employees.

Play or pay: There remain a few employers with more than 50 full-time-equivalent employees who continue not to offer health insurance. These employers have ignored the Affordable Care Act mandate and risk IRS tax penalties that are greater than lowcost solutions, such as MEC plans.

Opinion: If competing for new hires and improving employee retention is a challenge, doing nothing is not a helpful route.

Tax credit: The Arizona Department of Revenue has offered a tax credit for new, fully insured employer group plans since 2006. Check out AZDor.gov or contact your health-insurance agent.

Insurance&Benifits cancelled. The tax credit is available if there has been no employer plan for six months.

Age-banded rates: Most employers and their health agents prefer composite rates, where each employee has the same premium. Age-banded rates for employers with 10, 20 or more employees are available from some health-insurance companies.

Opinion: Age-banded rates lock for enrollment and they solve affordable premium issues for young employees with the proper contribution strategy

Partially self-funded: Fully insured employer rates no longer use industry, gender or health status as rating factors. They and are limited in the use of age in their community rate tables.

Therefore, employers with as few as five employees are able to compare partially self-funded rates, which continue to underwrite and use the prohibited factors. Compared to fully insured plans, this saves many employer groups, who tend to be young, male and/or healthy.

Opinion: Within a few years, this trend may undermine the small, fully insured

employer health market similar to the way the individual/family market is impacted now.

To be clear, most larger employers and many employers with quality health plans will not be impacted by the pending market changes. This includes employers with grandfathered and, to a lesser extent, grandmothered plans. As always, your comments and questions are welcome. ď Ž Paul Breslau, is president of Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc. Contact him at 602-692-6832 or Paul@HRaz.com.

HDHP with HSA or voluntary insurance: High Deductible Health Plans lower premiums and increase patient involvement in treatments and their medical costs. HDHPs often are paired with Health Savings Accounts or voluntary insurance.

Opinion: These strategies are excellent, however, they can be confusing to employees if the agent doesn’t have a good method of presenting the program.

Fact: HDHP plans can be viewed as negative if the employer doesn’t contribute funds into the qualified bank accounts on behalf of employees.

EMI Health: EMI Health successfully combines employers in similar industries into common insurance pools. The entire process is transparent with participating employers managing each industry-specific insurance pool.

Fact: The EMI solution has worked in Utah for decades and shows great promise to continue successful growth in Arizona.

Redirect Health: Guiding employees to the best and most appropriate health care at the lowest cost and eliminating waste and frustrations are two core tenants of Redirect Health.

Opinion: Redirect Health may be the only solution that provides immediate results and solves the longer-term underlying employer group health insurance conundrum.

Fact: Redirect Health may be integrated into a major medical plan so that employees have access to the appropriate care at the appropriate time to streamline the process for the patient and save all parties from unnecessary costs.

Legacy: A Case Study Tripling your nestegg for your children and charities

R

By Thomas K. Brueckner, CLTC This article is Part 3 of a 3 Part series

ob and Renee, both 63 in 2013, had $300,000 of nonperforming cash earmarked (at their passing) for their only son, Rick, and his twin boys. Not fans of market risk, they neither needed the money for themselves, nor did they want to risk it on behalf of Rick. Rob and Renee have pension income, rental income and Social Security sufficient for their expenses, and no mortgage. They live well within their means, and give generously to their church and favorite charities. While their son, Rick, has worked hard whenever he could to save, he had recently chosen to spend a part of his 401(k) to avoid a home foreclosure and cover monthly expenses while searching for employment in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Rob and Renee wanted to restore

those lost dollars to help Rick enjoy a retirement of his own one day.

The solution

Happily, by employing the leveraging power of life insurance, there is great good that can come from small amounts of money meant for subsequent generations. Many of our clients have been able to double, triple and, in some cases, quadruple the money in their IRA or emergency reserve accounts, in about five weeks, without market risk, income tax-free to their heirs. What makes this strategy even more consequential is that those same clients have maintained access to their funds, with full liquidity and a guaranteed minimum yield of 3% interest, should their future need for those

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

funds outweigh their children’s.

In many cases, we’ve recommended Single-Premium Survivorship Indexed Universal Life Insurance (SPS-IUL) for clients who are also looking for greater returns on their money. Unlike many index annuities today, the caps on indexed life are often two to three times as high— approaching 12% and even 14% in some accounts—so when the market goes up, so will your account, by up to that amount.

Should the market drop precipitously the following year, your accumulated cash value is protected against loss, retaining your gains from all prior years.

Because this SPS-IUL solution involved underwriting, Rob and Renee submitted to an at-home medical exam prior to committing

any funds. Rob, a diet-controlled diabetic, received a B table rating, whereas Renee came in Standard issue. We allowed several companies to compete for their business, selecting the vehicle with the best offer, and strongest guarantee. A $300,000 singlepremium netted a $1,125,000 death benefit to a Trust set up for Rick’s benefit, effectively quadrupling their funds to their son, income tax-free at the second passing. Rick will not only recover the funds he had to take from his 401(k), he’ll do so four-fold and tax-free!

Clients are also often reluctant to shell out for long-term care insurance, at $3,500 to $7,500 per year for traditional coverage.

Many have emergency funds of $50,000 to more than $100,000 earning next to nothing in a money market account. When repositioned into an indexed life/long-term care combo account, four problems are solved: Yield is immediately increased to 3% to 14% marketlinked interest, the asset is often doubled or tripled toward the funding of a long-term care need, access to the funds is maintained, and any dollars still unspent at the owner’s passing are paid out income tax-free as a residual life insurance benefit to their heirs.

Important: These benefits should be tai-

lored to each couple’s individual circumstances—and not by someone unfamiliar with such

strategies (such as a stockbroker), but by an indexed life and long term care specialist with an equities background. Critical importance must be placed on the tax consequences of the funding, policy design and suitability, and surrender options should a couple’s circumstances change over time. For those who think they’re uninsurable, a policy can be written on two lives (spouses, parent/sibling, even parent/child), as long as the other insured is reasonably healthy.

How to hire—and fire—listing agents

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

C

ommercial real estate is a highstakes business, and no one understands this better than investors in income-producing properties whose fortunes rise and fall based largely on the occupancy levels of their buildings. This article will focus on the challenges faced by owners of single and multitenant commercial buildings in the selection, supervision and termination of listing agents.

Legal relationships: The designate broker is the person within every firm responsible to the Department of Real Estate for the actions of all licensed agents and associate brokers under their employ. It is the designated broker who enters into a contract (listing agreement) on behalf of his firm with the property owner for brokerage services. Among other things, the listing agreement spells out the duties of the brokerage firm and its (subcontractor) agent(s), the terms of compensation, and the length of the legal relationship.

Transaction costs: Listing agents

are typically compensated on a commission basis. Commissions are based either on a percentage of the gross value of the transaction or a dollar amount per square foot, and are generally split between the agents that represent each party per an agreed upon formula.

Credentials: I suggest seeking agents

who have attained either the CCIM or SIOR designation, certifying them to be experts in commercial real estate. Agents that have earned these credentials are members of the National Association of Realtors and are held to the highest level of professional standards and ethics.

Trust, but verify: It is reasonable to request written summaries of an agent’s recently completed transactions; similar in size and scope to your property. Ask

for, and verify, references from property owners that have listed their properties with the agent(s) you are considering. In addition, I strongly suggest speaking with other agents about the ‘street’ reputation of the agent(s) you are interviewing.

Accountability: Insist on regular

written reports showing the dates of all activity on the property, the names and status of the potential tenant(s) or buyer(s), and who they are being represented by. Also, require professionally prepared marketing materials (including photographs and floor plans) and that the property be advertised on prominent databases (CoStar and the MLS, to name two).

Outside agents: The majority of transactions are “co-brokered”—that is to say, the tenant or buyer is represented by someone other than the listing agent, and is probably from another company.

Therefore, cooperation between agents

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

from different companies is essential and should be encouraged. If you find that outside agents (those that represent potential tenants or buyers) are not showing your property, it may be because your agent is known to renege on commission sharing agreements or is "pocketing" the listing. This means the listing agent does little or no advertising, fails to keep databases updated, and/or is unresponsive to inquiries from the brokerage community (a tactic known as a “freeze out.”)

Termination: Require a clause in the listing agreement allowing you to terminate the contract (with no penalty) in the event your agent fails to live up to his/her promises or leaves the company.  Stephen A.

Cryptocurrency and the law B

By Scott Weiner, Attorney, Nussbaum, Gillis and Dinner

itcoin, and other similar cryptocurrencies, is a new area of law that reaches across many fields of practice, including bankruptcy, taxation, securities and banking.

An example is Hashfast Technologies LLC and Hashfast LLC, v. Marc A. Lowe, 14-AP-3011DM, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. This case has caused the court to consider how to characterize bitcoin in the context of a fraudulent transfer claim.

The case arises out of the consolidated bankruptcy case of Hashfast Technologies, LLC and Hashfast LLC. Hashfast was a bitcoin mining firm that entered bankruptcy in 2014.

The defendant, Lowe, purchased a specialized computer system for bitcoin mining from Hashfast and later entered into an agreement to endorse the computer system in exchange for a percentage of Hashfast’s sales of these specialized computer systems. As payment for his efforts, Hashfast transferred 3,000 bitcoin to Lowe. Subsequently, Hashfast’s liquidating trustee commenced a case to recover the transfer of the 3,000 bitcoin under several fraudulent transfer theories.

At the time the 3,000 bitcoin were initially transferred to Lowe, the value of the transfer was calculated to be worth $363,861.43. After that transfer, bitcoin value increased and 3,000 bitcoin were worth approximately $1.3 million. The question before the court in this case is if Lowe is found liable for receipt of an improper transfer, must he return the 3,000 bitcoin (despite their value) or just the value of the bitcoin at the time of transfer?

The trustee argued that the bitcoin was not currency and therefore repayment of the $363,861.43 in value received by Lowe is not appropriate. Rather, the trustee should be able to recover the 3,000 bitcoin, regardless of the fluctuation in value. This argument is based on Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §550(a), which is designed to place a bankruptcy estate in the financial position it would have enjoyed had a transfer not occurred, and allows a court, in its discretion, to award a trustee the property transferred or its value, including, “the value ... measured at the time of recovery

where the property naturally increases in value.” Heller Ehrman LLP v. Jones Day (In re Heller Ehrman), 2014 Bankr. LEXIS 382, *25-26 (Bankr. N.D. Cal., Jan. 29, 2014).

The trustee likened the bitcoin to a commodity that fluctuates in price based upon market conditions and supported the argument by 1) referring to the positions of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission which has found that bitcoin and other so-called “virtual currencies” are commodities, and 2) Internal Revenue Service Notice (2014-21) that noted virtual currency may be used to pay for goods or services, or held for investment but does not have legal tender status in any jurisdiction.

Lowe countered the arguments set forth by the trustee asserting that the agreed upon compensation owed Lowe from Hashfast was based on a percentage of the sales price of the specialized computer systems which was denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”).

The amounts paid to Lowe were calculated in USD, and were only paid in bitcoin.

Because the transfer of bitcoin to Lowe was to pay a specific defined USD commission, Lowe argued that the transaction must be considered transfer of currency, and that the trustee can only recover the value of what was transferred—$363,861.43.

Lowe also countered the trustee’s arguments by arguing that various other governmental entities treat bitcoin as currency, referencing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s position, as stated in Sec. & Exch. Comm’n v. Shavers, No. 2013 WL 4028182, at *1 (E.D. Tex. Aug 6, 2013) that when someone pays with bitcoin, they pay with currency because bitcoin’s purpose and the way it is utilized in the marketplace is as a currency.

After briefing, the court ruled on the partial summary judgment that it need not decide whether bitcoin is currency or commodities for purposes of the fraudulent transfer provisions of the bankruptcy code.

It found only that bitcoin is not USD, and if the transfer of bitcoin is avoided by the trustee, the court would then determine whether the estate’s recovery would be of

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2016

bitcoin as property, or the value of the bitcoin transferred. If the later, the court would then determine the proper date for valuation of the bitcoin.

Although this is a bankruptcy case that will not be binding on other courts, it will likely set a precedent for the treatment of bitcoin in the bankruptcy context and raises interesting considerations for bankruptcy practitioners. If a debtor regularly uses bitcoin as currency, bitcoin’s fluctuation in value could render various transactions, which were proper at the time they were conducted, to subsequently be called into question.

For example, we see in the Hashfast case what could happen if the debtor transferred away bitcoin, but what if a debtor sold an asset in exchange for bitcoin, and the bitcoin subsequently dropped in value? Could a trustee claim a fraudulent transfer of the asset arguing that reasonable value was not received for the transferred asset?

Additional considerations regarding bitcoin are the application of state and/or federal exemptions. If bitcoin is used to pay compensation, is a portion of the bitcoin paid exempt? What if bitcoin is used to pay child support spousal maintenance? In each situation, a court could reach a different conclusion depending on whether it was to find that bitcoin is currency, or otherwise.

As the case law develops it will have a major impact on those dealing in cryptocurrency. Practitioners and consumers should be aware of cryptocurrencies and the uncertainties involved in such “virtual currencies” as the various laws develop in this new field.  Scott Weiner is an associate attorney of the firm.

Bring on the Technology

By Jen Smith

I

Coaching is fundamental for everyone who enters today’s workforce

n July of 2010, my husband, Charlie, and I were eagerly awaiting the birth of our first grandchild. We were also living in Singapore and her birth was happening in Scottsdale. When we got word that our older daughter, Jessica, had gone into labor, we were attached to our phones.

Then a modern miracle occurred. Our younger daughter, Kate, Skyped on her laptop from the delivery room. She gave us instructions to mute and observe. We sat mesmerized as Jessica labored so diligently and gracefully, occasionally turning her face toward us on the monitor to smile and wave and assure us that all was well.

And then Stella arrived. We couldn’t be there in person, but this was the next best thing. We witnessed this precious moment and have it stored in our hearts forever.

Now Stella is 6. She started texting a few months ago—that is, whenever she can get her hands on an iPhone. She’s a woman of few words, preferring to converse via emojis. Last week, I was blessed to have a few days with her in the Colorado mountains and I loved it when, during an especially fun gondola ride, she asked if she could use my phone to text Aunt KK who was back here in Arizona and not able to join us on this trip. I absolutely totally loved it. Apart, and yet connected. Distant, and yet close. Technology is truly magic.

So I say bring on the technology because, when true relationship already exists, social technology can empower and strengthen bonds. We can be in the moment together even when we are thousands of miles apart.

We can share experiences, grief and joy, in real-time. We can encourage one another, share immediate input, resolve problems, and plan gatherings.

This is true not only for families and friends, but for organizations. Teams that are connected with the appropriate technical tools can communicate better, collaborate more effectively, and coordinate work more productively. Along with new social technologies will come new ways of organizing that will “…enable companies

to experiment further with new corporate structures and processes that are more project-based, self-organizing and less hierarchical.”

Project-based. Self-organizing. Less hierarchical. This brave new world sounds exhilarating. And it is. It is also challenging because it will require skills that are not typically included in the normal course of formal education and training.

The new era of social technology will reward those who have self-control, internal motivation, a positive mindset, the ability to work through conflict rather than be overwhelmed by it, and the skill to maneuver through ambiguous situations. These are competencies that require deliberate cultivation.

That’s where coaching comes in.

Coaching is not a luxury intended only for top executives. Coaching is fundamental for everyone in today’s workforce. Both one-on-one coaching and team coaching provide the time and space for us to step back, to consider our impact, to be deliberate about the decisions we make and the conversations we pursue. Coaching helps us learn to listen better, first to ourselves, and then to others. Coaching is an opportunity to reflect on what is working and what isn’t and to be accountable for making the change that is required. Coaching is an exploration of our experiences, to gain insight about missteps and hone wisdom for the future.

Technology, like all tools, is capable of amazing things when we have the skills to use the tool wisely, compassionately, and properly.

Coaching helps us to gain those skills. The possi ility o ered y emerging tec nologies is immense and amazing. Let’s get prepared to use these tools to make our personal and professional lives richer and fuller. 

Rising home prices make affordability an issue for many young families

By Rod Dennis

T

he housing market is booming, and a number of signs point to continued growth, driven by an improving job market and mortgage rates near all-time lows. Those procrastinating about buying might not to wait too long. Prices could continue to climb as more buyers continue to chase fewer homes for sale.

Several statistics illustrate how hot things are. In June, the existing home sale market reached its highest annual rate in more than nine years. During the month, initial purchasers accounted for more than one-third of closes sales,

up from 30% in May, according to the National Association of Realtors.

New home sales are steaming ahead, too. The Commerce Department they rose 3.5% in June, the best level since February 2008. And the purchase of new construction was up more than 10% year to date. Given that existing homes make up 90% of the market, buyers might get better value by targeting existing homes.

With prices rising rapidly, however, affordability has become a major issue.

Many young families are unable to contend with home prices that have increased for a staggering 52 months.

Can the upsurge in home prices increases continue? There are many reasons they can, among them the wealth created by soaring stock prices, an improving job market and low inventory.

However, many observers think the market is overheated and due for a correction. Phoenix was rated the third most overvalued market in the nation, Forbes.com said recently, the reason being—once again—demand outpacing supply.

therealdeal we could be entering a period when prices start to level off and even come down because of too much inventory.

We’re seeing ground broken in the area for hundreds, if not thousands, of new homes,” she said. “This has the potential to dramatically affect resales.”

Grant Bailey, managing director for Fitch Ratings U.S. RMBS group, said that a lot of the price increases in Phoenix were due to economic growth, but the momentum that started because of it has just overheated a bit.

Tawes said this year was a first in her 13 years as a Realtor that summer sales were higher than those in January, February and March, typically the peak buying months. She attributed the anomaly to Californians relocating to the Phoenix area, where housing costs were at or near the national average, but still far below those in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The median market home price in Phoenix was $221,000 among the major Western and Southwestern cities and was

the 20th city for low housing costs out of 27 major markets. In order to afford the mortgage on the median home, Phoenix residents would have to make more than $43,000 a year. That’s well within the grasp of most residents of Maricopa County, where the median household income is about $53,700 a year, according to the U. S. Census Bureau.

Interestingly, as home prices have continued to climb, the percentage of ownership in the United States has been dropping. It declined to 62.9% in the second quarter of 2016, hitting a 48-year low.

Some see this as a positive trend for the housing market, the Wall Street Journal said. That’s because the number of rental households is growing, reflecting the fact that younger people are leaving their parents’ homes and striking out as renters on their own.

While that’s good for the rental market, growing numbers of those who want to buy a home simply can’t because their incomes aren’t keeping pace with home

price increases. In addition, many young families don’t seem to be making the transition to homeownership because of stricter requirements for credit and down payments. In many cases they’re being stymied by the Federal Housing Administration, where one-third of this group is getting their financing.

“The more the homeownership level drops, the more attention there will be to the question of whether government policy changes implemented in the wake of the financial crisis are keeping people from buying homes,” Jaret Seiberg of Guggenheim Securities wrote. “Our view is that the government policies are keeping credit conditions unnecessarily tight. So this attention could be positive in getting regulators to reassess whether they have properly balance consumer protection and homeownership opportunity.”  Rod Dennis is vice president of mortgage lending for Guaranteed Rate.

SEPTEMBER Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers 2016 will be a year of wonder, riding the rapids of the world, alternating crises, events, new technology and exciting scientific discoveries that will have a lasting impact on our lives.

ARIES 3/21-4/20: September will be challenging from Sept. 1 to Sept. 22, due to Mercury going retro. It sets up a theme for the next few months. You are advised to eliminate any unrealistic or unattainable goals. Work on your allies and try to come to terms with your competition. This month is all about your job. An extra dose of social networking helps.

TAURUS 4/21-5/20: Compromises may be needed early on, so put other people’s interests and demands first. Starting Sept. 9, there’s the possibility of a job change within the next 12 months; reach out to associates or contacts. Circle the week of Sept. 26.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20: You will face up to professional/work realities and take on added responsibilities this month.

Monetary matters and travel plans may fluxuate, requiring you to keep an eye on your bank account. A residential relocation will exercise your flexibility.

Expect to catch a break by the third week of September. Eclipses on Sept. 1 and Sept.

16 brings a deluge of concern.

CANCER 6/21-7/22: There are many options for making positive changes in your day-to-day work routine. Others can be critical, but don’t take their attitudes personally. Mercury maybe causing miscommunication. Working conditions may appear to be stressful until Sept. 22.

Take a cautious approach to all business contracts, deals, sales, etc. You’ll switch your emphasis at the end of the month.

Consider taking classes.

LEO 7/23-8/22: Lady Luck follows you until midmonth. You may have some financial obstacles so use caution when

approaching a monetary decision— particularly around Sept. 12. September will test your patience. By the third week, it’ll be smooth sailing for the months ahead. It’s all about how you sell yourself.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22: You love being efficient and putting things into order, and that’s exactly what you should focus on this month. Don’t complain, you’ve had a great year. September’s patterns are prime for starting a new venture, especially something personal. Being conservative is natural for you. Expect increases in earnings.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22: You’ll have to work a little harder in September. A situation may not be defined until the month’s last quarter. Hold off on any remodeling or purchasing of high-priced equipment for work as a retro period passes by Sept. 23.

I’ll be talking more about that next month.

Do not miss any opportunities or invites that may come your way as early as Sept.

9 or you may regret them.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21: There’s a period of confusion and noncommittal until Sept.

23. After that, you can trust the spoken word. Leave nothing to chance. Stress will leave by the full moon on the 16th.

Make sure you confirm all appointments and agreements. Work conditions will improve, and a lucrative offer can end your month on a positive note. This month you’ll see a time of growth.

SAGITTARIUS: 11/22-12/21: Despite a recent increase in responsibilities, you can adapt easily to any last-minute cancelations regarding travel-related matters between Sept. 1 and Sept. 22.

Use this extra time to get things done, or consider a big job-related decision. You may have a challenging situation with authority figures at work midmonth. Don’t rush into anything or put your foot in your mouth. Don’t allow oppressive conditions spoil your plans.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19: Lucky you!

This month’s eclipses on Sept. 1 and Sept.

22 are powerful, and may take you into new professional territory. Last month, you thought about new plans. This month, you consolidate them. Make more time for work-related interactions around Sept. 19.

Expansion is almost a given in the month ahead, including business/work issues as a pronounced theme.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18: You’ll spend a lot of time pondering money matters, especially from the first week until the third week. Some realistic appraisal and adjustments must be resolved. There is the potential for travel this month but it may require some last-minute changes. Peruse the details of any venture or assignments until Sept. 22. You may have challenges with your work or social lives. Your urge to acquire more knowledge is intensified in the weeks ahead.

PISCES 2/19-3/20: The quality of your important relationships takes priority, particularly the first half of September. Two eclipses take place now, one in your own sign. Your work area is altered. You’ll have to move onto new alliances. Think about the past: Similar issues were confronted and now you are more experienced.

Accepting what you cannot. Your financial potential takes a leap forward in the weeks ahead and well into the New Year.
