Scottsdale is excited to welcome Kerry’s Airpark Auto Service to the neighborhood!

After years of working as a technician and dealing with the auto repair industry’s accepted low standards for service, Owner Kerry Neier decided that it was time for a change. In 1993, he opened the agship Kerry’s Car Care on the corner of 43rd and Olive Avenue in Glendale along with his wife and children. He was determined to design his shop’s policies and procedures around what is important to his customers: a trustworthy and most impo reliable shop that will get them back to their lives as quickly as possible. This resulted in the “Say Yes” policy, which ensures that no matter the need, Kerry’s will always be there to help their customers and get them back on the road.

Over the past 25 years Kerry has offered all of these things to his customers.

I n early 2015 his son in law Chris Schulze Retired from the United States Navy. Like Kerry, Chris was very involved with the customer service and repair side of things as a Diesel Mechanic with the Navy Seabees.

During his time he was part of many military operations on his 4 tours around the world from repairing construction equipment, blasting in rock quarries, and operating cranes in Guam in support of Operation Iraqi ope Feedom, to the Winning Hearts and Minds Mission in Africa by building runways in Djibouti, drilling water

wells in the remote villages of Kenya, and building schools and medical physicality’s in Somalia.

When Chris retired he knew that he wanted to continue to help people and x vehicles. This is where both Kerry and Chris knew that they could transform the Auto industry and expand across the valley. This is why in 2015 Chris took up the position as Kerry’s Regional manager and they have expanded to 4 locations all offering the same great features, bene ts, and outstanding customer service.

When you bring your vehicle to Kerry’s Airpark Auto Service, you are welcomed into a deep-rooted family atmosphere, offering a smile, comfortable seating area for guests and their pets, complimentary coffee and WiFi, along with unmatched speed of service that gaurantees information to customers within half an hour and hourly updates to those who choose to drop their vehicle off rather than waiting inhouse. inhous Along with being Car Fax accredited and offering multiple nancing options, Kerry stands behind his work by offering a ve year, 50,000 mile nationwide warranty. Something no other automotive repair shop will do.

The next time you are in need of any auto service, from an oil change to an overhaul, count on Kerry’s Airpark Auto Service to “Say Yes” and get you back on the road safely!

“Excellent attention to detail and incredibly helpful in all regards. I would highly recommend to anyone!”

Editor’s Note

Innovation and Investment

T

he intersection between medicine and technology is a busy one in the Airpark. We sit in the heart of “The Cure Corridor,” the bio-life science industry corridor that stretches east to west along Shea Boulevard and north to south along Scottsdale Road from the Airpark to SkySong, the ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center. The businesses on these blocks produce biological products and pharmaceuticals, engage in biotech research and provide laboratory services, among other things.

For our annual “Technology” issue this year, I wanted to focus on the medical technology that is transforming both the Airpark and people’s lives. From TouchPoint Solution, a wearable device developed in Scottsdale that purportedly eases stress through vibrations (Good Vibrations, page 34) to remote-controlled light bars used to treat people recovering from opioid addiction (Revelations in Recovery, page 26), technology continues to revolutionize the healthcare and medical industry in the Airpark and at large.

But the intersection of medicine and technology isn’t the only crowded crossing in the Airpark – the junction of innovation and investment is pretty packed, too. In his story Banking (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) on Biotech (page 21), writer Jimmy Magahern Niki D'Andrea introduces us to biopharm startups in the Executive Editor Airpark that are flourishing thanks to venture capital investments and savvy CEOs like Michael Wilhelm of New Amsterdam Sciences, who brings a background as a Wall Street stockbroker to the company, and BioLab president and CEO Bob Maguire, whose company’s work with “liquid allografts” aims to revolutionize regenerative medicine.

“In the end, all we’re doing is creating a product that a physician can use to give our bodies more of what they already have,” Maguire says in the story. “As we say, it’s not magic. It’s science.”

Makes sense to us. The convergence of medicine, technology and finance around the Airpark may not be magic, but it is pretty magical.

airparkbusinessnews Times Media Group relaunches The Scottsdale Progress this month On Sunday, September 16, Scottsdale’s original hometown newspaper, The Scottsdale Progress, will resume publication as a weekly.

The Progress is owned by Times Media Group, which also publishes Scottsdale Airpark News. The paper began as a daily in 1961 and ceased publication in 2009.

“Scottsdale is a unique place and a city whose story needs to be told well and with passion,” Times Media Group president Steve Strickbine said. “Our goal with the new Progress is to dig down deep

into Scottsdale each week – to tell our neighbors here’s what happening, here’s why it’s happening and here’s who’s making it happen.

We want to demonstrate the same commitment to the city and the same respect for its history the old Progress had, with a 2018 business model and leading-edge advertising opportunities.”

Initial circulation for the new Scottsdale Progress will be 40,000 complimentary copies, distributed every Sunday to homes in various neighborhoods and to more than 700 locations

where residents can pick up a copy for free.

The scope of coverage for the revived Progress will include everything from City Halls and schools to events, obituaries and human interest stories, according to Strickbine.

“As a lifelong resident of the Valley and as a publisher who understands what the Progress once meant to Scottsdale, this is a special announcement for our company,” Strickbine said. “I have tremendous respect for the importance of solid community journalism, and for the trust our readers place in us as a source for accurate information and the truth.”

Flood insurance premiums lowered for some Scottsdale residents More than 100 property owners will see a reduction in flood insurance premiums, thanks to recent revisions to the Flood Insurance Maps for a portion of Scottsdale. The revisions are the result of a restudy on an area along the Arizona Canal, from Chaparral Road north to Indian Bend Wash. The analysis took into account things such as infrastructure improvements and better flood modeling techniques.

The 100-year floodplain zones on the

revised Flood Insurance Maps are now smaller, removing more than 100 property owners from their boundaries. Flood insurance is no longer mandatory for them if they have a federally backed mortgage. Also as a result of the revisions, individual property owners are projected to save hundreds of dollars every year on flood insurance.

Depending on the type of insurance carried, savings could top $75,000, according to a City

of Scottsdale press release.

But some Scottsdale residents won’t benefit from the changes. A small section of the Arizona Canal floodplain was reclassified to reflect a higher risk of flooding. Eleven property owners in that area are now located in the 100-year floodplain and must now start buying mandatory flood insurance. However, flood insurance premiums are expected to remain relatively low. …continues on page 10

Liberty Mutual announces apprenticeship program in Arizona Liberty Mutual Insurance has launched its new Arizona Apprenticeship Program in conjunction with the Arizona Commerce Authority and the Arizona Department of Economic Security. The new apprentices will work in Liberty Mutual’s Scottsdale office for one year, in a training program that includes licensing, product knowledge, policy quoting, phone and appointment skills, and concludes with a property and casualty license. After the first six months, apprentices will be eligible for sales associate jobs and after the full year, they will be qualified for sales representative positions.

At a ceremony held at the Arizona State Capitol on July 25, Governor Doug Ducey said, “Continuing investments in workforce training will help prepare Arizonans to find the right jobs. We’re pleased that Liberty Mutual will be contributing to this goal with their apprenticeship program, providing Arizonans with the tools for success in business and finance.”

Joe Kiley, manager of talent acquisition for Liberty Mutual Insurance, echoed the sentiment. “We are excited to work with the State of Arizona on this unique program and by the prospect of the extensive pool of experienced employees we now have the opportunity to reach,” Kiley said. “Today we formally signed on our first three apprentices and I am pleased to welcome Austin, Braxton and Keith to the Liberty team.”

The pilot apprenticeship program combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training and is a Registered Apprenticeship – a system of training that is structured and formal. For more information about the Arizona Department of Economic Security’s Registered Apprenticeship Program, visit azapprenticeship.com.

Taylor Morrison voted Top Production Builder for the fifth time

WHY REPLACE SHOCKS OR STRUTS? Worn shocks & struts may allow excessive vehicle weight transfer from side-to-side during cornering, front-to-rear during acceleration, and rear-to-front during braking.

This, in turn, reduces the tires ability to grip the road surface. Because of the inconsistent tire-to-road contact, vehicles often experience reduced handling braking performance.

This, of course, could result in an unsafe vehicle.

SHOCKS AND STRUTS NOT ONLY IMPROVE RIDE COMFORT, BUT ARE NECESSARY FOR SAFE HANDLING. They help ensure consistent firm, tire-to-road contact.

Shocks and struts maintain vertical loads placed upon the tires by providing resistance to vehicle bounce, roll & sway, brake drive and acceleration squat to maintain a balanced ride.

UNDERSTANDING THE SAFETY TRIANGLE The Safety Triangle Inspection checks critical interconnected system components that control steering, stopping and stability.

Going beyond tires and brakes to include shocks, struts, springs, tie rod ends, ball joints, and a host of other suspension and chassis parts, the Safety Triangle is vital to a driver’s ability to avoid accidents.

Just one worn part could diminish vehicle control and compromise safety.

“It’s a good question: How do you get behind, basically, a molecule that you decide to devote your life to?” Siegel says. “This hard-to-define thing that you believe can bring some benefit to humans. And you really have to look at the potential that it represents.”

Siegel gamely expounds on the benefits of NAS911 while Michael Wilhelm, CEO of New Amsterdam Sciences, drinks it all in. “I learn so much every time he speaks,” Wilhelm confides.

Wilhelm, a former Wall Street stockbroker who claims to have witnessed the lifestyle former stockbroker Jordan Belfort immortalized in the 2013 movie The Wolf of Wall Street (“It was exactly like the movie,” he says), epitomizes the other half of the partnership necessary for a successful biotech startup.

He’s the “persuasive communicator and spokesperson,” as he describes himself in his LinkedIn bio – “an expert in lobbying, public speaking and public relations.”

It’s Wilhelm’s job to put all of Siegel’s “science-speak” into language that potential investors can understand, a strategy that has placed New Amsterdam Sciences into the realm of promising homegrown biopharma firms for 2018. “It’s always a challenge talking to people about what it is that you do,” he says. “It’s difficult, sometimes, to bring people to understand it without getting into the weeds.”

Such is the nature of the biotech startup, a kind of firm that has been flourishing in the Scottsdale Airpark, where health sciences and venture capital investment options continue to intersect. At New Amsterdam Sciences, Wilhelm is basically the media-friendly Steve Jobs to Siegel’s wonky Steve Wozniak.

Hal Siegel, chief scientific officer at New Amsterdam Sciences, has recently been focused on NAS911, a treatment for flu patients.

“You’re constantly bridging the gap between the things that are really relevant, which is bringing care to people, with trying to raise money,” Siegel says. “That’s actually what got me out of being a research scientist, where I basically worked in a basement, to being engaged with the world.”

“To me, healthcare and life sciences is something that always goes back to saving lives and improving the quality of life for people,” Wilhelm says. “That beats being a retail stockbroker.”

Not magic, science In a $2.3 million office condo previously occupied for brief periods by a design firm, a dental office and a senior-oriented financial services company, Lorenzo Bronson, VP of strategic partnerships at BioLab Sciences, leads a quick tour of the nearly 8,000-square-foot office suite just off the Loop 101 and Northsight Boulevard.

“This was originally home to an architectural firm,” Bronson says, circling past 15 pristine, mostly unoccupied offices (“those we keep open for our distributors,” he says) to lead the interview into a 36-foot-long conference room banked by floor-to-ceiling glass curved in the form of a cruise ship bow. “That’s why the office makes such a nice first impression.”

In this majestic meeting room, Bob Maguire, BioLab’s president and CEO, and Jaime Leija, its executive vice president, take turns explaining the regenerative medicine products distributed through the new Airpark biotech startup, which basically involve amniotic stem cell injections.

“The FDA doesn’t like to use the term stem cells,” Leija quickly clarifies, acknowledging the ethical baggage attached to the type of stem cell extraction that destroys embryos, which differs from the technique BioLab’s offsite lab facility uses, taking only the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby and normally ends up on the floor when the mother’s water breaks. “We call it liquid allograft.”

“The amniotic cells are non-controversial, because they’re from a live birth,” Maguire adds. “So we say both the mother and the baby are celebrating the process.”

“In all actuality it has nothing to do with stem cells; it’s about leveraging the growth factors of proteins and cytokines,” Leija finally says, steering the conversation away from the contentious debate. “So it actually works with the body’s own progenitor cells to, in essence, heal itself.”

field two years ago, Leija already speaks with the knowledge of a postdoctoral research scientist. “The primary use of our product is for orthopedics and wound care,” he says. “It’s injected into various parts of the body where there may be damaged soft tissue – ligaments, tendons, cartilage or muscles – and the product has the ability to go in and ignite your indigenous progenitor cells to repair, recreate and replenish damaged soft tissue.”

Bronson opens up a laptop and projects onto the conference room’s monitor some before-and-after photos of clients, illustrating the many uses of the product. The first one shows a rather grisly shot of a gaping wound left from a ruptured Achilles tendon, caused by what’s called a non-healing diabetic ulcer, and the same wound healed after application of the amniotic membrane.

“This patient was a retired police officer from Chicago who had spent close to a million dollars in treatments over a fiveyear period trying to close that wound,” Leija says. “We healed it for less than five thousand.”

Debbie Rowe, who Bronson introduces as one of Biolab’s best distributors, adds that the company’s amniotic fluid has aesthetic applications, too.

“A lot of people are getting microneedling done on their face with the amnio fluid, to get rid of lines and tighten the skin,” she says, adding that she’s gone through the roughly 15-minute process herself and considers it a healthier alternative to Botox.

“It takes about six weeks to get the full effect, and then you can go back and get another treatment.” Others have applied micro-needling to their scalps to stimulate hair growth, and Leija says some have even begun using it for “sexual rejuvenation treatments.”

Maguire, who says he spent most of his career in the telecom and IT fields, admits that everyone entering biopharm has to learn some hard-to-understand science, but adds that venture capital people want more than breathless press release hype when considering an investment. Last October, Maguire secured a $224,500 grant funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for his lab facility in north Phoenix, Axolotl Biologix, where the amniotic stem cells are processed from donated placental tissue.

“In the end, all we’re doing is creating a product that a physician can use to give our bodies more of what they already have,” he says. “As we say, it’s not magic. It’s science.”

For patient Michael Tucevich, whose doctor used the product to repair two torn foot ligaments from a sports injury, that’s a good enough explanation.

Wilhelm says his job is to put all of Siegel’s “science-speak” into language that potential investors can understand.

“I don’t know about the mechanics or the specifics,” he told a FOX-10 reporter last May. “All I know is that it works.”

Risky business Bioscience is a growing sector not only in the Airpark but throughout Arizona, expanding at a rate of 58 percent between 2002 and 2016, according to studies published by the Flinn Foundation in Phoenix, and creating close to 1,500 bioscience firms.

But it’s also a field littered with failures.

According to The Independent Institute, an Oakland, California-based think tank, only three out of every 10 drugs investigated in pre-clinical studies ever make it to phase 1 trials, and it can take an average of between 11 and 14 years to get a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Even then, drugs can be recalled for unanticipated adverse side effects, costing firms billions in settlements for failure to report safety data.

“It’s not fun to have a failed drug,” says Wilhelm, who notes that New Amsterdam Sciences is currently seeking $20 million to advance human efficacy studies for its compound, which so far has been tested only on primates. “But most of our investors are aware of that risk. They’re getting behind something new and, yes, they want to win and see a return on their investment. But

24 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2018

they’re all very passionate about treating these particular diseases or conditions that our drug addresses. Most of our investors are actually physicians, because we like to tell our story to people who ‘get’ it.”

Wilhelm adds that even if a drug fails in its initial focus (which, for his NAS911 compound, is central nervous system disorders and pulmonary fibrosis), it can often find success in targeting other areas.

The company is already looking to test variations of the compound for treating cancer radiation side effects and Parkinson’s disease.

“You know, drugs like Viagra and so many others were identified effective outside of their original indication,” Wilhelm says. (Pfizer scientists originally intended the now famous blue pill to treat cardiovascular disorders.) “We could be pursuing these drugs as a treatment for one thing and find out that there’s an unmet application we weren’t even thinking about.

And suddenly, it’s a blockbuster in a whole different area.

“That’s another thing that’s exciting about this field,” he adds. “Even if your drug doesn’t necessarily perform the way you hoped in one area, you can shift. It’s part of what keeps us so passionate about the work we’re doing.” 

Revelations

Dr. Laura Stewart takes an integrated approach to battling opioid addiction

By Niki D’Andrea

O

n a Tuesday afternoon in midAugust, Dr. Laura Stewart stands in the hallway of her clinic with a remote control in her hand. She aims it at a black horizontal bar atop a stand – designed to be at eye-level for someone sitting in a chair – and a sequence of blue dots lights up across the bar, with some blinking on

the periphery.

The machine, called a light bar, is frequently used in a therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Dr. Stewart utilizes EMDR as part of the treatment program at Recovia, the 10,000-square-foot, fully integrated clinic in the Airpark for which she serves

26 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2018

as executive director. EMDR was developed in the 1990s and has shown to be effective in treating people who have experienced trauma – particularly people who have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) – by helping them properly process traumatic memories.

It really works, Stewart says, but nobody

is exactly sure just how it works yet. On a subconscious level, the blinking lights and tapping sounds of EMDR somehow replicate the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep in the brain, she explains. That’s considered the “deepest” stage of sleep, associated with vivid dreams and when all sorts of electrical and chemical activities take place.

The modality is also highly effective in treating patients with

…continued from page 27 chronic pain and addiction, Stewart says.

EMDR is just one of many things she and her clinical staff use to treat people who are detoxifying from opioids and recovering from opioid addiction. Behavioral health, medical management, physical therapy, functional medicine and occupational/life skills assistance are also important parts of the program.

An Arizona State University graduate with a trio of degrees (Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology), Stewart focused her clinical training on the neurobiology of PTSD and addiction at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Phoenix from February 2009 to June 2011. Following that, she worked as a clinical psychologist at Southwest Behavorial & Health Sciences for nearly three years. She founded Recovia in February 2015. Stewart says in all her years of research and practice, opioids “are probably the most unique substance I have ever worked with. It’s a beast to get over opioid misuse and abuse and addiction.”

In March, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that more than 115 people die every day in the United States after overdosing on opioids, and that roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. Much has been made of the opioid crisis in media, with former Centers for

Disease Control director Thomas Frieden describing America as “awash in opioids” and President Donald Trump declaring the country’s opioid crisis “a public health emergency.”

“When I speak about the epidemic and what we do in programs and in treatment, one of the first things I say is, ‘We have to change the way we look at addiction. Every single person in this room knows somebody who is addicted to opioids,’” Stewart says.

“And I can confidently say that, whether they know who the person is or not. They know somebody who is struggling with it, because the numbers are that high.”

“This is not addiction like how we used to think about and label and stigmatize addiction,” she continues. “This is completely different, and it can hit anyone: any race, any ethnicity, any socio-economic class – it knows no boundaries.”

Opioids, Pain and the Brain Though Stewart stresses Recovia is a recovery program and not a detox clinic, medication-assisted treatment is a key component of her multi-disciplinary approach. There’s a pharmacy onsite that fills Recovia patient prescriptions for Suboxone, a medication that helps ease the symptoms of withdrawal. That’s the first step in weaning patients off opioids.

But the biggest step, Stewart explains, is helping chronic pain patients understand

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2018

and manage their pain. “Nobody’s super excited about getting off their medication when they start, so getting them to understand the program, what we do, and how we manage pain is a huge part of program success and program buy-in,” she says. “So, a lot of the first week is really psycho-education: ‘This is what opioids did within your body, within your central nervous system. And this is what it did within the receptors in your brain, and this is how it impacts your mood, and ongoing use creates this.’”

Opioids create something called opioidinduced hyperalgesia, “when the nerves are hyper- and over-sensitized because of the pain medication,” Stewart continues.

“Usually, (patients) will say, ‘OK, so if I understand you, not only am I physically dependent on this, but my nerves have literally adapted to where they create more pain now because of it?’ And we say, ‘Yep, that’s exactly true.’” “‘And the reason I feel so hopeless and get so anxious and irritable in between my dosages is because my brain no longer has natural neuro-chemicals to make me feel balanced and content, happy and joyful?’

And we say ‘yes.’”

Many chronic pain patients are afraid to move or exercise because they think they’ll hurt themselves, Stewart says, “and that’s a big mental construct that we have to work on.”

Hence, physical therapy is incorporated into each patient’s personalized treatment program at Recovia, sometimes along with modalities like acupuncture and yoga. “The buy-in comes when they understand why we’re having physical therapy every day as part of our program. It’s a way to get the brain to stop guarding with pain and understanding that pain can actually be a protective mechanism of the brain. It’s real pain, but the brain uses it to guard – kind of a survival mechanism. So there’s a huge neuroscience component to it, and to physical therapy, so they’re not afraid to move,” Stewart explains.

Bill Reese is a retiree from Florida who came to Recovia late last year at the urging of his children, who live in the Valley. Reese had a series of back injuries and failed surgeries that left him in constant pain and sometimes barely able to move. He’d taken high doses of prescription painkillers off and on for almost a decade, and says he still found himself in constant pain and didn’t like taking the pills.

He empathizes with people struggling with addiction. “It overtakes your life as far as the everyday, but you can’t let it take its toll, to where you’re taking more than you need or you’re seeking out additional illegally,” he says. “Sure, there’s a struggle – all you want to do is catch your breath, just breathe without pain for a minute. If you go through a program like hers (Dr. Stewart’s), they teach you how to do that.

Is it for everybody? Yes, but it doesn’t work for everybody. I would say probably not everybody, but everyone needs to try it in this situation because whether it helps you 100 percent or a little bit, anything is better.”

Since completing the Recovia program, Reese has traveled a bit around the states and looks forward to spending more time with his family. He calls Recovia “an excellent program.”

“Dr. Stewart understands what you’re going through because that’s what she studies, even though I didn’t understand what I was going through at the time,” Reese says. “She saw huge changes in me as I went. I learned to deal with the pain physically and mentally.”

Treatment Wraparound The Recovia facility includes a physical therapy area full of treatment tables and exercise equipment. That comes as a surprise to anyone who is expecting a traditional group-meeting rehab setting (though there are group sessions at Recovia, as well).

Phoenix firefighter Ernesto Altami-

rano, who completed the six-week Recovia thing like he expected it to be, and it program in June, didn’t know what to turned out to be one of the best things in expect when he first came to the clinic. “My his life. He remains opioid-free and has thought of how a program is supposed to be resumed going to the gym with his sons is, you go into a group and sing ‘Kumbaya’ and spending quality time with his wife. with a bunch of people. I didn’t know,” he “(Dr. Stewart) even reached out to my says. “But going to Recovia has been great, wife, just to make sure my wife was OK,” from the first day I walked in, as a matter he says. “She asked me, ‘How’s your wife?

Who’s her support system? She needs to of fact.”

“Dr. Stewart is amazing,” Altamirano have a support system through this, too.’”

During the last week of his recovery, continues. “The way they run things there is pretty incredible, from the counseling Altamirano had expressed how supported individuals to group, from the physical he felt at Recovia. “I’m looking forward therapy that you have to go through and to going there. Like, my weekend goes by the heart map, the acupuncture that they and I’m excited to go there. I can almost do, the yoga. There’s so many different say that most people that have addictions things, and these people aren’t judging me. aren’t excited to go to rehab,” he said over the phone, on his way home from one of his They’re genuinely there to help.”

And people need help in all sorts final treatment sessions. “But you do your of areas. Stewart emphasizes that an yoga and your stretching and it’s all tied in.

“So when you come out, you’re like, integrated, multidisciplinary approach is the most successful for treatment of opioid ‘Oh man, I’m good. I’m so good,” he addiction. “In the state of Arizona, a lot of continued. “And then you feel good the ways that we’re providing treatment is about yourself, you feel good about what not necessarily evidence-based for opioid you’re doing. You just feel good about addiction,” she says. “So you can go and get everything.”  treatment and you might be inpatient for five or six days, and then you come Stewart in the out and say, ‘OK, I did physical therapy treatment and I detoxed gym at Recovia, the functional and now I should be opioid detox clinic better,’ and the mechashe founded in nism of opioids don’t 2015 work that way. Opioids have a one-two punch.

They impact psychological function, they impact physical function, and it takes a while for the brain and body to get back to even close to baseline.

And if there’s no treatment wraparound with that, people aren’t getting better.”

“There’s a lot of good treatment facilities in the state of Arizona, and there’s also some not-so-good ones,” Stewart continues. “So I’m always thankful when people make their way to one that gets it, and they do understand it, and they’re providing evidence-based treatment programs.”

Oh,

Boy!

Culture Club singer says he’s ‘authentic and human’ on stage

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

oy George wants Culture Club fans to know he’s kinder and gentler than he was in the ’80s.

“I’ve become a much warmer human being,” Boy George says.

“In 1984, we went from tiny clubs, where we were being heckled, to stadiums in the course of a few weeks. We had a lot of extremes to deal with back then. Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with the role I have on stage. I enjoy it. With this age of the internet, it’s the one place you can be completely authentic and human.”

Still, Boy George loves that fans aren’t sure what to expect from Culture Club’s concerts.

The band’s original lineup of Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig and Jon Moss performs Sunday, September 30, at The Pool at Talking Stick Resort and Sunday, October 7, at Desert Diamond Casino in Sahuarita.

“They never know what we’re going to do,” Boy George says. “Are we going to do a half an hour of our avant-garde pop period?

Are we going to do the songs they know and love? It’s built to surprise people, to show people who we are now and how we’ve grown. I really enjoy it.”

Culture Club is touring ahead of its first album in 20 years, Life, which will be available October 26. In August, the band released the single “Let Somebody Love You,” which Boy George describes as “very Culture Club – whatever that means.”

Since its inception in 1981, Culture Club has sold more than 150 million records worldwide and had a steady stream of hits, including “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “Karma Chameleon,” “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya,” “Church of the Poison Mind” and “It’s A Miracle.”

The new track “Let Somebody Love You” was inspired by some of Boy George’s favorite books.

“I used a little magic realism in the lyrics,” he says. “I wrote it after reading Salman Rushdie books. The magic realism that he does really influenced the way I write.

“It’s about putting yourself into someone else’s character. I talk about how we’re attracted to people who are the worst match for us.

Good

Vibrations

By Mandy Holmes

S

ometimes, people wear their stress – on their backs, in their faces, on their sleeves. Stress can be thought of as the body’s natural defense mechanism in response to any kind of demand, and studies have shown that left unmanaged, tension can show up in the form of headaches, chest pain, difficulty sleeping, high blood pressure and gastrointestinal issues, and worsen the symptoms of certain diseases.

But thanks to Scottsdale-based TouchPoint Solution, people can now also wear their stress relief. TouchPoint wearable solutions utilizes technology that aims to provide fast relief from stress and deliver results in as little as 30 seconds.

The TouchPoint Solution was founded by neuropsychologist Amy Serin and executive and child advocate Vicki Mayo in an effort to develop a non-invasive, wearable device that significantly reduces stress and anxiety within a few seconds of use. Serin and Mayo teamed

TouchPoint Solution purportedly sends vibrations throughout the body to ease stress.

The TouchPoint Solution uses technology to help people manage stress

up after Mayo’s daughter began experiencing night terrors and found instant relief with the technology Dr. Serin had been utilizing for the past decade in her practice.

“Dr. Serin’s gadgets worked so well for my little girl, I knew this was something that could profoundly change lives. We teamed up and found a way to develop the technology further and make it accessible to the world,” Mayo says.

Serin’s work in therapy and neuroscience led to the discovery that a component of successful PTSD treatment could be used as a stand-alone product for gifted children, executives, or anyone looking to enhance performance, relaxation, and sleep habits while decreasing life’s daily stressors through a series of customizable vibrations set at various speeds felt through the body.

Users are encouraged to wear

TouchPoints in a variety of ways, including on their wrists with the popular watch-like strap option. If time is of the essence, a few minutes with the buzzers tucked in the palms of the hands or into pockets or socks can do the trick. Skin contact is not necessary as long as the two TouchPoints are on opposite sides of the body.

TouchPoints work as a pair and use something called Bi-Lateral Alternating Stimulation Tactile (BLAST) technology. In laymen’s terms, the vibrations felt cause a reduction in high-frequency waves associated with anxiety and stress, which means the buzzing adjusts the body’s “fight, flight or freeze” response, allowing the wearer to feel a sense of calm while the The new TouchPoint Basic makes it simple for users to activate a setting with the push of a button.

body restores its homeostatic nervous system.

Depending on individual goals and stress levels, the TouchPoints can be used for as little as one minute or a few hours every day. Although stressful situations are often unpredictable and unavoidable, the devices come in handy if there is an anticipated stressful event such as boarding a flight or giving a speech.

However, TouchPoints are not solely intended to tackle stress.

Scientific research has shown the technology can help manage anger, sleep, panic attacks and ADHD in children.

The TouchPoint Original model is controlled by an app and is highly customizable, with six pre-settings including focus, performance, and cravings. Ideal for executives and busy parents, the Original model offers the convenience of control through smart phones. TouchPoint Basic bypasses the app, making it simple for children, students, and seniors looking for the ease of pushing a button on the device to activate one of the three settings: sleep, calm or anger.

The developers say TouchPoints, now available worldwide and through Amazon, are moving to shift focus back to the logical, rational part of the brain and encourage a healthy holistic lifestyle by empowering users to be calm, perform better, and sleep well.

Lord of the

Rinks Ice Den Scottsdale keeps its cool in summer months

By Ally Richmond

E

xercising in Arizona during the summer is a searing proposition. Air-conditioning-bound desert dwellers are resigned to either in-home workouts, crowded gyms, or hiking before dawn. But there’s another option – one that might actually make Scottsdale residents go “Brrr!” in the middle of triple-digit temperatures.

Ice Den Scottsdale, located at 9375 E. Bell Road, offers a variety of skating and hockey classes for kids, teens, and adults.

“The Ice Den is more than a skating rink – it’s a family entertainment facility,” says Marcy Fileccia, the Ice Den’s vice president of marketing and communications.

The rink offers on-ice programs for a variety of skill levels. Its seasonal programs include youth and adult hockey as well as “Learn to Skate” classes and figure skating. “Skating in Arizona is unique, as it’s a great way to keep active while escaping the heat. As far as athleticism, it requires patience and balance to get comfortable on the ice,” Fileccia says.

Both figure skating and hockey are great ways to stay active when it’s too hot to exercise outside. “Figure skating showcases an individual’s strength and finesse and requires tremendous dedication. Playing hockey allows

players to develop both as an individual and teammate, affords growth opportunities and creates lifelong friendships,” Fileccia explains.

The youth hockey season spans from September to March, and the Learn to Skate classes are offered in six-week sessions throughout the year. The public can also participate in weekly public skate sessions, open adult hockey, and adult and youth stick time in the cool air of the ice rink. “The average rink temperature is about 56 degrees year-round,” Fileccia says.

While the main attraction of the Ice Den is the ice, during the summer months, when demand for ice is lower, the Ice Den converts one of its ice rinks into a turf field and partners with indoor sports camps and lacrosse associations.

Ice Den Scottsdale also offers other amenities, like fitness and physical therapy services.

“Guests can seek services from our tenants Mountainside Fitness, OSR Physical Therapy and Venn Construction,” Fileccia says.

The rink also has restaurants and shops for visitors. “Guests that come to the Ice Den can enjoy the watching or participating in the on-ice activities,” Fileccia says. “They can enjoy a meal in 18 Degrees Neighborhood Grill, a snack at the Chilly Bean Café or shop at Divalicious (ladies boutique) or the Coyotes Ice Sports pro shop.”

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2018

This fall, the rink will be reopening 18 Degrees, the Ice Den’s café, which has been under complete renovation since April.

In addition, through its partnerships with Fox Sports Arizona and the Arizona Coyotes, the Ice Den will be hosting FSAZ Q&A sessions with members of the team and road game viewing parties.

The Ice Den is also the official training facility of the Arizona Coyotes, so fans are always welcome to come watch the team practice during the hockey season.

“The Ice Den has been a proud part of the community for two decades. We are fortunate that our owners allow us to be innovative and continue to improve and invest in the building to ensure we can offer the quality programming the neighborhood expects,” Fileccia says. “Our staff is the best in the business and committed to providing a fun, friendly and safe environment for all of our customers.”

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ice Den Scottsdale, which opened its doors in June of 1998. In honor of its anniversary, the Ice Den will be offering special events and activities throughout the year.

Ice Den Scottsdale is located at 9375 E. Bell Road in Scottsdale. For more information, call 480-585-7465 or visit icedenscottsdale.com. 

Singers and songwriters

celebrated Scottsdale

By Joan Fudala

T

he Eagles sang about standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona in “Take It Easy,” and Glen Campbell crooned about our neighboring city in “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” So has anyone made music that salutes Scottsdale?

And who are the singers that have made Scottsdale so melodious?

Here are bits and pieces of our singer and song history:  Founder/namesake Winfield Scott himself had a booming voice and often sang during early ecumenical church services in Scottsdale’s first decades.  Sing-a-longs were a popular form of entertainment in early 1900s Scottsdale, before radio, television and recorded music.

Townsfolk usually serenaded newlyweds, like the Fraziers in the late 1890s, with popular tunes during a wedding night shivaree. The Fraziers’ was even reported in The Phoenix Herald newspaper.  From its earliest days after opening in 1923, Scottsdale High School had a glee club and choral groups.  Mariachi music and singing was featured at local festivals and the annual Miracle of the Roses and Los Posadas pageants in Scottsdale, circa the late 1940s through the 1970s.  Reflecting “The West’s Most Western Town” theme, The Western Gentlemen performed at Reata Pass in the 1960s, even cutting a record album.  Arizona’s official state balladeer (and former New Christy Minstrels singer) Dolan Ellis performed at the Tuba City Truck Stop in downtown Scottsdale during the 1960s. He was also

a featured performer during the weeklong events celebrating the dedication of Scottsdale’s new Civic Center in October 1968 (and he’s scheduled to perform at the 50th anniversary of the Civic Center this October).  Marshall Trimble, Arizona’s official state historian and former director of Southwest Studies at Scottsdale Community College, was part of a folk singing group, The Gin Mill Three, that performed in Scottsdale clubs in the 1960s. Trimble also wrote and often

Q: I recently got married and would love to preserve my wedding gown, is that something Prestige can do?

performs a ballad honoring Winfield Scott.  Scottsdale High School’s team and students/alumni are known as the Beavers. The “Beavers Forever”fight song can be found on YouTube, with lyrics that begin, “Beavers forever fight on and win, Fight on to victory, Take trouble on the chin…”  Eugene Hanson was considered Scott-

sdale’s “music man.” He served as band/orchestra director at Scottsdale High from 1950 to 1961, when he moved to the same position at Coronado High School, where he stayed until retiring in 1982. He is credited with composing Coronado’s hymn and fight song. According to an article in the November 25, 2007 East Valley Tribune, Tribune Hanson led high school bands in the Parada del Sol parade and wrote the song “I Want to Be a Cowboy Out in the West,” performed in the Parada.

Coronado High’s auditorium honors his memory.  An article in the March 17, 1960 Scottsdale Progress, headlined “Town Song Composed by Housewife,” explained that Mrs. James (Dana) McDonald had composed a song entitled “Scottsdale,” with lyrics like “Twas a little cow town, deep in the west.” It was played by the Parada del Sol band in the 1963 parade and during the rodeo.

Cleaners for wedding gown cleaning and preservation.

Proper care of the gown is often forgotten after the wedding.

For best results, the gown should be processed as soon as possible. Stains will set with time, and hanging in a closet can eventually cause oxidation. Many of the Valley’s wedding gown boutiques trust us for this service.

In honor of the October 1968 dedication of Scottsdale’s Civic Center (City Hall and Library), Mrs. Kerr composed “Arizona Profiles,” which was performed by the Phoenix Symphony at a special concert held at Coronado High School. Mrs. Kerr generously bequeathed her studio to Arizona State University, and the Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale continues to nurture musicians of all kinds.  In 1973, Mike Dale and the Sidewinders introduced a song about Scottsdale during a gig in Phoenix, singing “Scottsdale, Arizona/That’s where I’m from/And I’m proud to say/It’s the greatest/in the whole U.S.A.” The lyrics also included the (Chicago) Cubs, hot summer days and cacti.  Country star Waylon Jennings drew loyal audiences at Wild Bill Moses (later named Handlebar J’s) and JD’s in 1960s Scottsdale.  Folksinger Gordon Lightfoot sang

‘Reborn

Italian

cowboy’ Take a virtual trip to Italy with chef Tomaso Maggiore

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

T

omaso Maggiore is well-known for his fresh approach to authentic Italian cuisine through his namesake restaurants in the Camelback Corridor and North Scottsdale.

He politely asks guests if he can briefly join them at their table at his yearold Tomaso’s When in Rome at Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads to chat about his entrees and his career.

Of course, dishes are delicious, including spaghetti cacio and pepe ($18), topped with coarsely ground black pepper and served in a parmesan cup; and the mix grill ($38), filet mignon, double lamb chops and homemade sausage.

What most people don’t expect is Maggiore’s sense of humor, especially when he traces his journey to America. “I originally came from Sicily in 1971,” he says. “We started in New York, and then I came here on vacation in the middle of winter. I fell in love with the place.

I should have visited in July first. I’m what you call a ‘reborn Italian cowboy.’

I’ve been here so long sometimes I think I introduced spaghetti to Geronimo.”

Everything about Tomaso’s When in Rome – and Tomaso’s on Camelback, for

giore adds a comedic twist to it. “It’s like asking me which one of my kids I like the best,” he says with a laugh. “I like everything.”

There are plenty of options. The rigatoni with grilled chicken and vodka sauce ($19) and linguine with clam sauce ($24) are traditional dishes. But entrees like cavatelli with filet mignon and veal Bolognese ($22) and Scottish salmon ($27) are Tomaso specialties.

that matter – is fresh. It’s elegant, with white linen tablecloths and napkins.

Large windows allow natural light to pour in. Gracious and incredibly polite servers (ask for his nephew Giovanni) and assistants cater to guests. Artwork depicting hotspots in Italy line the walls.

Maggiore explores Italian dishes with traditional flair. “I like to try new things,” he says. “Ultimately, though, what works the best is the traditional Italian cuisine.”

Bolognese, pasta norcina, fried calamari, grilled chicken Caesar salad, and Amatriciana meatballs ($7-$10).

Maggiore travels abroad annually for “culinary awareness” – at least that’s what he tells his CPA, Maggiore says with a laugh. He collects recipes when he’s abroad and renews his inspiration.

“I go for three to four weeks a year,” he says. “I go up and down Italy. I love it. I’m always learning new things. I’m always thinking, ‘What can I do to make it better?’ To me, cuisine and cooking, that is the most satisfying.”

At When in Rome, Maggiore arrives

at 6 a.m. to “do my thing.” He preps the food and the sauces, creates specials and experiments with possible new dishes.

“If you love food like I do, you’re always coming up with new ideas,” he says. “For example, I’m going to do a Sicilian pesto. Unlike the basil, garlic olive oil and pine nuts in Genoa up north. Mine is tomato with blanched almonds, basil and pecorino cheese blended together.

It’s awesome.”

His handiwork doesn’t end at Tomaso’s and Tomaso’s When in Rome. His family is opening a restaurant in Tatum Ranch that will focus on country Italian

cuisine, with a “great bar and beautiful patio.”

He’s taking advantage of the very reason he came to America. “It’s the land of opportunity,” he proclaims with his arms spread. “My first stop was New York, and I was very lucky to work with amazing Italian chefs. Why wouldn’t I move here?” 

Flower Child opens fourth Arizona location at Desert Ridge

The Flower Child location at Desert Ridge is one of four in the Valley.

lower Child proves it’s the little things in life that mean anything.

For the fast-casual health food chain, it’s things like serving seasonal lemonade out of mason jars and ensuring each table is adorned with fresh flowers or succulents.

The restaurant is the newest addition to a fast-growing family of approachable, chef-driven dining establishments at Desert Ridge. In the last year alone, MidiCi Neapolitan Pizza, Sizzle Korean BBQ and Barrio Queen have also set up shop at the North Phoenix shopping destination.

In addition to shopping, catching a movie, painting pottery, romping around the splash pad or enjoying live music, Desert Ridge visitors can choose from a growing smorgasbord of classy-casual eateries.

Flower Child is one of many successful culinary ventures created by Fox Restaurant Concepts, which is also responsible for local luminaries like Culinary Dropout, Wildflower and Olive & Ivy. The Desert Ridge location, which opened its doors two months ago, is the fourth Flower Child in the Valley; there are also locations in Arcadia, Uptown Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Flower Child’s clientele is somewhere between bon vivant and bohemian. It’s certainly the type of place you’d want to take your Lulu Lemon-clad cousin visiting from L.A., but it’s also a great place to take the kids for a Sunday evening dinner. A place called Flower Child is obligated to have a menu for children (right?), and with items like gluten-free mac and cheese, sweet corn

and quinoa, and broccoli with parmesan, the kid’s menu doesn’t disappoint.

Patrons will find a designated place for their yoga mats – a wicker basket by the entrance labeled “Yoga Mat Parking” – so they can focus on enjoying a fresh-pressed juice, protein-packed wrap, from-scratch salad or a slew of seasonal goodies.

This hip hotspot is also big on sustainability. Flower Child works exclusively with farmers who respect and protect their land and livestock. They also purchase only organic produce and abide by the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” list, a popular guide used to measure pesticide levels in food. The chain prides itself on being part of a “food revolution,” promising to serve naturally raised proteins, organic fruits and vegetables and locally sourced ingredients when possible.

As far as the food goes, Flower Child focuses on vegan, vegetarian, paleo, glutenfree, dairy-free and sugar-free options.

However, that doesn’t mean carnivores can’t enjoy their flavorful fast-casual fare. Guests can choose to add all-natural chicken, sustainable salmon, grass-fed steak or organic, non-GMO tofu to any dish.

We recommend starting with the Avocado Hummus ($7), garnished with sweet corn, radish, clementine and pumpkin seeds, and served with fresh, warm pita bread. It’s hearty without being too filling, and a great dish to share between two (or more!) people.

From homemade chicken soup to a stir fry, or sautéed, baked, fried, breaded or grilled, chicken is our go-to. Still, we’re always looking for one more way to prepare it. I’ve got a fantastic chicken dish that’s flavorful, simple and uses readily available ingredients. Let’s start with the main ingredient: the chicken breast. Choose fresh, and if they are large, you may want to carefully slice them in half lengthwise. To safely tenderize, I place the chicken breasts in a double gallon-sized zippered plastic bag, completely sealed. If you don’t have a mallet, a small heavy skillet or pot will work. Pound the chicken breast to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Now for the cheese. One of the most flavorful cheese spreads you can buy is Boursin* cheese. The varieties you’ll find most often are the Garlic and Fine Herbs or Shallot and Chive. But if you’re lucky

enough to stumble across the Pepper variety, it works really well in this dish!

Two cheeses are distributed on the chicken, which gets rolled up and wrapped in ultra thin slices of prosciutto. That’s pretty much it!

Roll it up, bake it up and serve it up for dinner tonight! *The story of Boursin cheese: It started in 1957 with François Boursin, a French cheesemaker who was quietly trying to perfect his cheese before he introduced it to the world. But in 1961, a newspaper mistakenly reported that François had infused the cheese with garlic, and his product became an overnight sensation.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast Ingredients: 4 fresh boneless and skinless chicken breasts 1 package Boursin cheese, room temperature 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1 package (6-8 slices) thin-sliced prosciutto Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in double gallon-sized zippered bags.With a mallet on the smooth side, pound the chicken 1/4-inch thick. Place the pounded chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Spread an even amount of Boursin cheese over all four chicken breasts. Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese on top of the Boursin. Carefully roll up chicken, seam side down. Wrap each chicken roll with a slice of prosciutto, tucking the ends under the chicken roll. Melt butter and olive oil together in baking dish or glass pie plate.

Place chicken rolls in baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes or until internal temperature is 165 degrees. With a pastry brush, baste the chicken rolls several times during the cooking process with the butter/olive oil mixture (this will give the chicken rolls added flavor and a beautiful glossy finish).

Serve with pasta, rice, vegetables or a salad. Serves four. 

Scottsdale’s bed tax funds growth, improves quality of life

By Rachel Pearson, Vice President of Community and Government Affairs, Experience Scottsdale

E

ight years ago, Scottsdale voters approved Proposition 200, an initiative championed by the tourism and hospitality industry, to generate additional revenue from Scottsdale visitors. Since that vote, visitors have paid millions in taxes to support our economy and elevate our quality of life.

That’s because Prop. 200 not only increased Scottsdale’s bed-tax rate but also designated specific uses for the bed tax. While Scottsdale has benefited greatly from these changes, Experience Scottsdale often receives questions about the nature of the bed tax.

Let’s start by defining the bed tax. Cities throughout the United States charge local transient lodging taxes – consumption-based taxes paid by guests staying overnight at hotels, resorts and short-term vacation rentals.

Cities use these collections in various ways, with most investing at least a New York-based dance group portion of their bed-tax revenue into RIOULT gives a performance at destination promotion to leisure Canal Convergence (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Public Art) travelers and meeting planners.

Scottsdale hoteliers, along with the Scottsdale Chamber of ComAs approved by Scottsdale merce and the Scottsdale Charros, voters, half of Scottsdale’s bed-tax advanced the initial proposal to revenue goes to destination marketcreate a 2 percent transient lodging ing, while the remaining half is tax in 1977. Since then, Scottsdale distributed to various programs and hoteliers and the larger tourism contracts based on a financial policy industry have supported bed-tax established by the Scottsdale City increases to ensure the City of Council. That revenue is divided Scottsdale has the necessary dollars among the General Fund, tourismto promote the destination and to related event support and developinvest in community capital projects ment, tourism administration and that improve the visitor experience research, tourism capital projects, and the quality of life for residents. and one-time projects or events.

tourismtalk nights from meetings groups – visitors and groups that may not have otherwise come to Scottsdale. Bed-tax dollars are the only city tax dollars used by the organization, yet every dollar invested by Experience Scottsdale in marketing and sales directly generates $67 in visitor spending and $3 in local tax revenue for the benefit of Scottsdale residents.

But the bed tax isn’t the only way Scottsdale visitors enhance our city. When tourists come to Scottsdale, they don’t just spend money on their hotel rooms. They rent cars, fill up gas tanks, eat out, visit museums, golf, shop and much more. In doing so, they support our local businesses and pay millions in sales taxes. According to the City of Scottsdale, tourists account for 15 percent of sales tax collections. In fiscal year 2016-17, that totaled $24.9 million.

Unlike the bed tax, which has specific designated uses, the sales tax revenue generated by visitors funnels directly into the General Fund. From there, city leaders have the flexibility to appropriate the revenue to meet Scottsdale’s needs. That money pays for police, fire, streets, water, land preservation and other city services of importance to this community.

WestWorld of Scottsdale is one of several sites improved with funds from the city’s bed tax.

Tourists play an essential role in our community, and domestic overnight visitors to Scottsdale leave behind an economic impact of $2.3 billion. Through the bed tax and sales tax, these visitors strengthen our economy and ensure Scottsdale maintains a high quality of life and a robust tourism industry. 

Save a life with 21st-century diagnostics

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

D

o you know someone who has an undiagnosed chronic condition?

What if that condition is caused by a “bug”? Have you ever watched the TV shows Monsters Inside Me or Something’s Killing Me? For many of the real-life cases highlighted by these TV shows, it often takes months or sometimes years to diagnose what is ailing a person with a condition that is hard to diagnose. Ultimately, many of these conditions are caused by a critter, a live organism. Why does it take so long?

Most conventional tests look for a specific marker for a specific organism only.

Traditionally, there were (and still are) a few hundred tests to look for a few thousand species. For example, only 1 to 2 percent of bacteria will grow in a culture, which is a favored test technique for finding bacteria.

Another test method is a PCR DNA-type test, looking for one specific marker for an organism. If the symptoms that present themselves are not readily tied to specific conditions, such as Lyme disease, strep or valley fever, the medical practitioner must rely on a trial-and-error method to look for the cause. This may require the physician to order a dozen tests that may cover up to a couple hundred species. Sometimes these tests can cost several thousand dollars.

Many organisms exist in polymicrobial

communities. Companion species are often missed.

ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North offers two tests that cover up to 48 million species between the two tests. One test is called pan-bacterial and covers all known bacteria (single-cell without nucleus). The other test is called pan-eukaryotic and covers all multi-cell organisms with a nucleus – mostly protozoa, algae and fungi. These tests use a technique called Next Generation Sequencing genetic testing – looking for the DNA of the organisms that may be present. This type of testing also detects “novel” (previously unknown) genetic sequences for species mutations not previously discovered.

Yes, these tests should be covered by insurance if the physician writes an order for it with the appropriate diagnosis code.

The insurance billing is $1,495 per test. Fry Laboratories will bill insurance. ARCpoint Labs charges a $25 draw fee for these cases.

The cash price is $1,150 for each test.

Unlike other genetic tests that can take several weeks to obtain results, these results come back in a few days. The benefit of this is that the physician does not necessarily need to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics or other drugs while waiting on results. ARCpoint Labs offers these tests in conjunction with Fry Laboratories, the lab

here in the Scottsdale Airpark that invented these tests. So far this year, ARCpoint Labs has been able to pinpoint the cause of previously undiagnosed conditions for nine individuals. Several of these individuals say this was a life-saving event for them.

ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North offers over 30,000 tests to medical practitioners, consumers and employers – clinical, toxicology, genetic and forensic.

How to save money on your next lease

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

R

eal estate is generally the second greatest operating expense of a business after employee salaries and benefits. It’s also the area where most business owners overspend, generally without being aware of how much they could have saved to lease the same space, in the same condition and in the same building. The following discussion focuses on some of the variables common to most commercial leases. Taken together they can serve to significantly lower the effective rental rate and reduce the overall costs of occupancy.

Rental rate. Advertised rates are typically 5 to 15 percent higher than the landlord will accept. Be mindful that, as in any high-stakes negotiation, landlords seldom start with their bottom line price or terms. When discussing price with listing agents, always refer to the advertised rental rate as the “asking” rate, inferring that price is negotiable.

Escalations. Minimize rental rate escalations by fixing any increase to a nominal amount and postponing them as long as possible.

Free (abated) rent. Negotiate one month of free rent for every year of the transaction (an 8.33 percent discount) and never agree to amortize “free” rent over the lease term. In that regard, if

no incentives come with a longer term, I suggest opting for the shortest term possible. Another way to achieve free rent is by negotiating early occupancy at no charge.

Renewal options. Accomplish longer lease terms through renewal options, which provide flexibility

and an opportunity to negotiate additional free rent and other concessions throughout your occupancy. Also, make every effort to avoid option rates tied to the so-called “then-prevailing market rate.” Why? Because the term “market rate” is nothing more than the landlord’s asking rental rate and does not reflect the incentives or inducements often required to complete arm’slength leases (think “sticker price” for cars). As a result, this number will always be higher than the landlord or its agent expects to receive.

Tenant improvements. On new space, tenant improvement (“TI”) allowances can vary widely and generally increase with longer lease terms. On second generation (previously occupied) space, the major costs of improving the space have already been incurred, although new carpet and paint are typical renovations landlords expect to make. Irrespective of the improvements required to make a space suitable for your business, make every effort to have the space be delivered in a turnkey condition... and at no charge to you.

commercialrealestateandyou

As unwitting disclosures will likely create leverage for the landlord and be used against you at the bargaining table, it’s wise to instruct your entire staff to refrain from discussing anything related to your lease or intentions with anyone.

Controllable expenses. Insist that the landlord take reasonable steps to keep operating expenses as low as possible.

After all, these costs are generally passed through to the tenants. A 3 percent cap on controllable expenses will help ensure the landlord remains diligent. I suggest that management fees be considered a controllable expense.

Base year. If the lease rate includes the operating expenses of a building (property taxes, casualty insurance, common area maintenance, utilities, janitorial and the like), insist on a base year as far into the future as possible – and never accept the preceding year as the base year.

7 Essential Negotiating Tips 1. Plan ahead. Knowing the terms available in competing buildings gives a tenant strong leverage in lease renewal negotiations. Make time your ally by starting the search for space six to 12 months prior to the date it is needed.

2. Everything is negotiable. Leasing agents and property managers use terms like “standard” and “typical” when referring to rates and concessions. In commercial real estate, every term and condition is negotiable – nothing is standard.

3. Comps are non-existent. Because information about completed leases (“comps”) is generally proprietary, there are no databases available to verify the terms (rental rate, free rent, tenant improvements and the like) negotiated in comparable transactions.

4. Not all landlords need to lease space. The greatest concessions will likely come from landlords that have the most urgent needs. Target landlords with a history of granting generous inducements, looking to sell or refinance, or those with high vacancy rates, and make every effort to determine if vacancies are anticipated.

Don’t be afraid to ask probing questions.

5. Create a paper trail. Submit your proposed terms and conditions in writing.

Include a reasonable acceptance date after

which the proposal automatically expires and insist on written responses.

6. Mum’s the word. Never discuss your budget, circumstances of your business, or other buildings under consideration with the landlord or its property manager and listing agents. As unwitting disclosures will likely create leverage for the landlord and be used against you at the bargaining table, it’s wise to instruct your entire staff to refrain from discussing anything related to your lease or intentions with anyone.

7. Rethink doing it yourself. The leasing of commercial space is a time-consuming and complex process, consisting of many interrelated variables. Whether you overpay or are able to negotiate favorable terms depends on your preparation and understanding of the nuances of the entire process. Landlords have advisors to protect their interests, and tenants should, too.

Summary: Every dollar saved in unnecessary operating expenses is a dollar that can be shared with employees, used to purchase equipment, or be distributed to stockholders. Because landlords are the most accommodating before you become a tenant, make certain to recognize and capitalize on every possible leasing concession and anticipate and negotiate protections within the four corners of the lease. Remember, for the fully-informed business owner, healthcare practitioner, facility executive and corporate decisionmaker, it’s always a tenant’s market. 

If you’ve ever gone to Airpark Auto Service, chances are, you’ve met Aaron Nelson who has worked there for 25 years. Most people say that Aaron has been more than a service advisor to them; he is their friend.

Recently Airpark Auto Service was sold to new ownership. Aaron decided it was time for him to make a change too. So, Aaron has gone to work at Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair in Tempe.

“It’s been an awesome experience,” said Aaron “and I will miss all of the friends and customers I have worked with over the last 25 years.”

Aaron has seen a lot of changes in the last 25 years when it comes to the vehicles, but when it comes to customers, their expectations always remain the same. Customers want to work with a business they can trust, who values them as a customer and as people.

Aaron is glad that he can continue that kind of service at Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair.

Aaron says, “If I wouldn’t recommend it to my parents, I won’t recommend it to my

customers,” and the folks at Tri-City Transmission have been treating people the same way for over 45 years.

“I would love to continue the trusted relationship we have built over the years, continues Aaron. “I invite you to contact me during regular business hours at 480-9685062 or on my cell phone at 602-859-3713.”

Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair is located in Tempe, and is easy to get to from the 101 or 202 freeways.

SEPTEMBER 2018 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers ARIES 3/21-4/19 September’s Sun in Virgo will be highlighting your day-to-day functions and routines, assignments, etc. This going back to the drawing board gives you a chance to reinvent your approach to work. Issues that were held back since August will start to move forward around the 6th. Sorting through the experiences of the recent past puts importance on details. Get rid of what does not work (new moon) on September 9th and discover what does (full moon) on September 25th.

TAURUS 4/20-5/20 Being more open to new ideas and concepts will open new professional and work-related avenues this month and the months ahead.

Expect to make some progress the second week or so. Break those fixed patterns and keep up with the new technologies that will be influencing all areas of the economy and industries. Any real estate-related matters go well around mid-month or an agreement is reached. The economic and political landscape changes with the full moon at the end of the month.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 September’s aspects put focus on organization, planning and following a schedule to avoid wasting time and energy. Become more aware of what others say and how they communicate. That weekly planner tool (write it down) is to be utilized. Your local area and its happenings are a great source for marketing yourself or making a game plan. Circle the 24th for accomplishing a goal. Keeping active physically and socially is essential.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 After a period of nesting, expect to come out of your shell and join the working class.

The first half of the month is best for putting in some extra time working on your own. Be more creative and inspired this month to take some risks. Strengthen your work or professional relationships. Emphasis on business or work is usually home-, health-, family- and employment-related. Pay attention to what’s going on in your work area.

LEO 7/23-8/22 I shouldn’t take that “I told you so” attitude, but I will. There is a positive shift regarding your finances this month. A change for a new source of income is strong. A lucrative additional job or project is offered (check the 9th through the 25th). People in your work/professional area are alert, so it is best to keep any premature info to yourself as you start out the month ahead. You can correct any personal/professional mistakes or attitudes easily. Your mind is more artistically creative or you may need to be more creative. New demands may require you to socialize more.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 Who could ask for anything more this month? Shifts in Earth signs support your efforts for the next few years. September’s first few weeks have you busy and positive.

It all begins around the 5th, when your mind is more focused and working more efficiently and all your efforts are spot on! You may be spending more on home and work needs, including personal necessities. Partnerships of some sort may be formed on a particular project. Your ideas and communications skills are brilliant.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 You may have to restrict your social life a bit the first two weeks or so. Some time in private work or catching up on pending appointments and unfinished details may be necessary. It’s a good month for you to take a more detailed look at your financial status and come up with a new plan (circle the 8th).

Once the Sun shifts into your own sign and Mars enters Aquarius, things ease up. Even if you have extra expenses this month, you’ll have money to cover them.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21 Finally, after a rough two months or so, you can see the lights of opportunities and change coming your way. September is full of events and happenings, especially later in the month. Friends and work-related contacts take top priority now. People you know or will be introduced to are influential in future employment or new sources of income.

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News September 2018

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 The month gets off to a quick start, with an overflow of information, criticism and things to take care of. September’s main focus is on work.

Being well-organized is essential, as minor facts and issues are apt to take up your time the first week. If in overload, ask for help. Whatever was delayed or mismanaged the last month or so will move forward at a greater speed. Take the initiative and make it happen.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 You can accomplish what you set out to do this month with little effort. Expect to resume a cycle of complete transformation in the months and year ahead. There are events and shifts occurring which will extend more responsibilities. The early new moon in Virgo on the 9th is significant in opening up your world personally and career-wise. Issues centering around legal, travel, education, publishing and current business trends are emphasized. Keep your eyes and ears open to the latest technology and future trends.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Your social scene does not become active until the last half of the month. July and August’s eclipses suggested a major change in your near future (job, move, advancement, or raise). But don’t get so comfy in your present state. Bills and money matters are highlighted by the week of the 10th. The good news is that they can be pleasantly settled by the full moon on the 25th. Partnerships and working with others is favored once the sun enters Libra on the 23rd. Libra Sun is favorable for adding some spark to your social life.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 A bit of compromise and give and take will be needed early September if you want to move forward. Issues surrounding employment, health and bizarre weather will surface.

Any jobs related to these issues may be in the “hot seat,” so to speak. You can relax; any stalled work issues gain momentum and start to move ahead. The full moon on the 25th could bring news about a financial matter.
