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

When Chris retired he knew that he wanted to continue to help people and fix 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, benefits, and outstanding customer service.

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 flagship 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 most important to his customers: a trustworthy and 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.

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 guarantees information to customers within half an hour and hourly updates to those who choose to drop their vehicle off rather than waiting inhouse.

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

Along with being Car Fax accredited and offering multiple financing options, Kerry stands behind his work by offering a five year, 50,000 mile nationwide warranty. Something no other automotive repair shop will do.

In 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 Feedom, to the Winning Hearts and Minds Mission in Africa by building runways in Djibouti, drilling water

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!

Editor’s Note

Healing Modalities

W

hen I first heard about holographic brain images and 3D-printed tumors at the Mayo Clinic, my imagination – spurred on, no doubt, by the science fiction movies I like so much – conjured visions of a humongous cerebral cortex hologram illuminating a room while a human walked around and through it, examining the enveloping image for abnormalities.

The technology used in the Mayo Clinic’s Precision Neurotherapeutics Innovation (PNT) Program is much more, well, precise. And it’s potentially life-saving, with the goal of improving outcomes with brain tumors. As writer Keridwen Cornelius explains in Brain Train (page 28), 3D printing allows doctors to hold exact replicas of patient tumors and aneurysms and consider surgery strategies, and to use augmented reality by wearing a hololens that allows them to see everything as normal, plus a holographic image.

Technology also has a role at Airpark-based TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine, where brain mapping is just one of several tests, treatments and healing modalities offered. I first heard the phrase “healing modalities” during (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) an interview with Dr. Ankit Chander, medical Niki D'Andrea director of the clinic, who is on our cover this Executive Editor month, and found it fascinating and comforting.

Healing. Modalities. Dr. Chander’s demeanor is so calm and professional; he instantly puts people at ease, and as a Johns Hopkins-educated physician, he brings great knowledge and reputation to the exam room – plus personal experience with chronic pain, which gives him a direct perspective on what some of his patients have gone through. Learn more about Dr. Chander and TriVita Clnic’s integrative approach and focus on regenerative medicine in our cover story, Whole Health (page 24).

Those two stories form the heart of this, our annual “Health & Wellness” issue, but there’s plenty to dig into on the periphery. Like yoga followed by mimosas at the Hotel Valley Ho (Sun Salutation, page 40). And a local lingerie line at Phoenix Fashion Week for the first time ever (Activ Duty, page 39).

And the lowdown on flying high over Lake Havasu City in an amphibious aircraft in this issue’s “Fly-In Vacation” (Air, Water, Earth, page 34). All this, and the Arizona Taco Festival (Talkin’ Tacos, page 53).

Sounds like there’s a healing modality for everyone here.

Historical photo exhibition depicts early Scottsdale A new photo exhibition in the Gallery @ Appaloosa Library titled Historic Scottsdale: Live, Work and Play in the Early 20th Century opened Tuesday, September 4. The exhibition features dozens of historical photographs in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Bennie Gonzales-designed Scottsdale City Hall and Civic Center Library in October 1968. Scottsdale Public Art is hosting the exhibition in conjunction with the city’s other “Scottsdale Celebrate ’68” events in October.

“It’s a perfect time to reflect on the history of every corner of Scottsdale and the men and women who comprise our history,” said Joan Fudala, a community historian who wrote the text for the exhibition, and is also a history columnist for Scottsdale Airpark News. “A stroll along the wall of photos at Appaloosa can’t help but instill a pride of place, and perhaps

make a connection to something in your past, too, no matter where you came from or what era you consider your own.”

The exhibition is designed to show residents what life was like in Scottsdale 50 to 100 years ago. The photographs include the pioneers of Scottsdale and show how they lived, from farming and ranching to recreation and the beginnings of tourism and healthcare. The collection of images was curated by Wendy Raisanen, curator of collections and exhibitions for Scottsdale Public Art. “(The photographs) provide a back story on the places and faces of our community,” Fudala said. “We’re so fortunate that over the past 50 years the Scottsdale Historical Society and the Scottsdale Public Library have been preserving these precious reminders of where we’ve been so that we can better understand Scottsdale (Photo courtesy Scottsdale Public Library digital collection) today.”

airparkbusinessnews Hot Israeli drone company making home in Scottsdale Scottsdale leaders last week celebrated the opening of internationally renowned industrial drone company manufacturer Airobotics’ North American headquarters here – which may ultimately become its global base of operations.

The 4-year-old Israeli firm “is going to find a great home here,” Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane said at a ribbon cutting for the company’s new offices on Raintree Drive. “There are a lot of companies with similar innovations and technologies and advancements to move forward on all fronts across the world here in Scottsdale."

The company provides drones for use in the mining industry and was drawn to Arizona, in part, because of the presence of many mining companies in the state.

“Four years ago, this company was just an idea,” Airobotics co-founder and CEO Ran Krauss said.

Airobotics will bring in 83 jobs to its U.S. headquarters over the next three years, according to Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) projections.

“As the world’s largest mining companies, many of which operate here in Arizona, continue to invest immense resources in finding solutions to increase safety, unmanned aircraft systems are becoming an integral tool in this transformation,” said ACA President/CEO Sandra Watson. “Airobotics technology will eliminate human-led manual inspections in the most hazardous and hard-to-access areas.”

Outlining his vision for his company, Krauss cited David Ben-Gurion, the founding father of Israel, telling the crowd, “In Israel, to be a realist, you have to believe in miracles.”

He said he hopes automated drones become more commonplace in several industries around the Valley.

“The vision for this company is much greater than mining or heavy industries, although that’s our first stop and we intend to make the most out of it. But, flights in cities, first response and other applications in highly populated areas are the next stop,” Krauss said.

In a profile of the firm, venturebeat.com said Krauss figured drones would never reach their full potential as long as human operators were needed.

“The company has developed a pilotless drone that self-deploys, using robotics to handle chores like changing the battery and various components,” venturebeat reported. “No human intervention is needed.”

It said Aerobotics’ popularity is soaring so quickly that the company’s biggest challenge is making them fast enough to fulfill demand.

“The idea for us when we started Airobotics was to pull the pilot out of the loop,” Krauss said. “It’s the most expensive part of the operations. That’s clear when you’re talking about

WHAT’S IN

autonomous cars. But it’s not as obvious when you’re talking about the pilot of a drone.”

Airobotics, which has 250 global employees now, said its Scottsdale operation for now will complement the company’s offices in Australia, and some operations in Chile and New Caledonia.

But the company also said that eventually the Arizona site will become its global headquarters, according to venturebeat.

“Airobotics’ biggest market today is the mining industry, which uses its drones for surveillance and data gathering. BHP, one of the world’s largest mining companies, has extensive operations in Arizona and will become Airobotics’ first customer in the U.S.,” the website reported.

It also quoted company officials as saying, “Arizona regulators are willing to work with them on developing rules to enable drones to fly beyond the operator’s line of sight, a thorny issue around the world that still limits the deployment and use cases of drones.”

That approach to partnering with regulators has been a cornerstone of Airobotics’ strategy from the start, Krauss told the website.

“Regulation has always been one of the drivers and challenges for this technology,” he said. “When we started Airobotics, we went to regulators in Israel to see what was possible.

We work side-by-side with them. Before we develop anything new, we see what they think and how we can make it work.”

The result of this approach is a drone that can land on platforms where robotic arms change batteries, unload cargo, or modify the drone for tasks such as transport or security, venturebeat said, adding: “The software allows companies to preprogram routes and tasks, as well as schedule deployment and landing. Once the drone lands on the platform, it descends into the container, where it remains protected until the next mission.”

Q: Summer has come and gone- it’s time for my family and I to store our out-of-season items. What is the best way to store clothing long term?

A: For long-term storage, it is

better to place your clothes in paper bags or folded in boxes.

When storing out-of-season items, make sure they are freshly laundered or dry-cleaned. Stains will set with age, and any food particles will attract insects — the insect damage will show up at the first washing or cleaning.

Also, it’s a good idea to store all garments out of light (natural or artificial), which can fade colors.

Why do I need to change my timing belt?

Finalists selected for Chamber’s 33rd annual Sterling Awards

“My car is running is running just fine.”

The manufacturer designates when to change your timing belt based on research & development when they build the vehicle.

The timing belt is an important part of your maintenance schedule, It keeps your crankshaft & camshaft in time with each other.

A broken belt (out of sync) can create engine damage on some makes & models.

Why do I need to align my tires?

When your tires are worn unevenly, it is recommended to check the alignment. The alignment should be checked at least twice a year. Speed bumps, bumpy road conditions & hitting curbs contribute to knocking a vehicle out of alignment. This also helps protect your tires from wearing out prematurely.

How often should I change my transmission fluid?

Transmission fluid should be changed, on average, every 30,000 miles including CVT models. Other fluids such as power steering, brake & differential should also be changed on a regular basis based on manufacturer recommendations. Extreme heat & cold are also factors in how often your fluids should be changed.

Periodic fluid changes can make your vehicle last longer with fewer major repairs.

Local nonprofit launches “Starve the Landfill” program Stardust, Phoenix’s only locally based building material reuse nonprofit, has announced its “starve the landfill” program.

The program encourages sustainability in the construction industry by focusing on the importance of deconstruction and donating building materials to be reused and repurposed.

“One of the amazing benefits is that local companies will be acknowledged for their partnership and commitment to sustainability and the reuse of building materials,” said Karen Jayne, CEO of Stardust.

Currently there are four local companies that have partnered with Stardust and Starve the Landfill program. These companies include Stradlings Cabinetry, G.M. Hunt Builders, Iron Doors Arizona and Scottsdale Custom Building Materials. Stardust currently diverts 5 million pounds of reclaimed building materials from the landfill each year.

Companies looking to participate can fill out a pledge stating they will redirect reusable building materials by using Stardust’s free deconstruction and donation pick-up services.

In return, Stardust provides professional

donation services to companies and its clients.

“This program is important because of the potential it has to create a change in our community,” said Jason Carlyle, resource development manager of Stardust. “We want contractors and suppliers to think twice before throwing away reusable building materials and help minimize the waste created. Every piece helps provide homeowners with a low-cost alternative for home remodel and repair.”

Dyflogest® Study Results Reveal Astounding Results!

I’m confident you’ll know how effective Dyflogest® is as soon as you start using it. You’ll be amazed at how much built-up fecal matter, and how many mucus-covered stools, toxins, and parasites that you never knew you had, will come out of your body, especially in the first few days. You’ll have to see it to believe the amount of rotting waste that was trapped inside your colon before using Dyflogest® ! (Of course, if you’re not convinced, even after a few days of using, you can return Dyflogest® risk-free for your money back.)

You can expect to feel lighter, have a sense of well-being and newfound energy, see dark circles under your eyes disappearing, and feel your abdomen getting flatter.

In one study using the formula in Dyflogest®, researchers chose 56 patients with chronic digestive problems for a 3-month study. During the entire study, half of the patients stayed on their standard, non-altered diet, while the other half used Dyflogest®.

For everyone in the study, their most frequent and strongest symptoms were: • Bloating, abdominal discomfort and cramps, stomach discomfort, constipation and heartburn Results showed that the participants

who used the Dyflogest® formula experienced significant improvement, and a major decrease in discomfort (both during and after supplementing with Dyflogest®), as compared with the participants who ate a similar diet, but didn’t use Dyflogest®.

Scientists were astounded that all their symptoms improved so much. I have yet to see a supplement or food work on digestion as well as Dyflogest®. Try Dyflogest® risk-free.

Dyflogest®’s Proprietary Formula: 4 Stellar Ingredients

Dyflogest®’s secret is in its FOUR STELLAR INGREDIENTS, which are synergistically blended together in a proprietary formula that works in all 3 of your Digestion Zones.

1. Black Radish 2. Artichoke 3. Artemisia 4. Peppermint Together, these 4 ingredients increase bile production, which in turn stimulates peristalsis, the wave-like muscular action in your large intestines and colon, which keeps toxic feces moving along at the right speed for regular bowel movements.

Remember, with Dyflogest®, you don’t have to give up your favorite foods, which otherwise can lead to digestive disaster!

Dyflogest® is 100% natural, safe and

14 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2018

made to be used every day without any side effects. Here’s what Dyflogest® can do for you: • LOOSENS UP your stomach walls to release gases for less bloating and cramping • STIMULATES peristalsis to get backedup poop and waste out fast • RELAXES your bile passages so more bile can flow freely from your gallbladder • SUPPORTS the elimination of harmful toxins, bacteria, and even some parasites out of your system for more complete cleansing.

Dyflogest® was formulated and manufactured by Quantum Wellness Botanical Institute’s scrupulous scientists for highest quality. I’m confident in the quality and performance of Dyflogest® because Quantum Wellness controls how these botanicals are extracted. This ensures that you get the highest-potency formula containing the finest pharmaceutical-quality herbs.

airparkbusinessnews Optima Kierland breaks ground on tower two Optima Kierland, a high-rise luxury condominium and rental community in Scottsdale, has broken ground on its second building.

The newest building, located at 7180 E. Kierland Boulevard, will feature 202 homes across 12 stories plus an exclusive rooftop sky deck amenity space with pools, spa and running track. Floor plans range from approximately 776 to 2,704 square feet, and residences can be combined both vertically and horizontally to create larger floor plans to suit residents’ individual needs and desires.

The first condominium tower is located at Scottsdale Road and Kierland Boulevard.

It exceeded sales expectations and is already 95 percent sold with more than 90 percent of

the homes closed.

“Living in the heart of Kierland – the prime spot to be in Scottsdale – has been one of the best decisions we could have made,” said Patty Ruziska, an Optima Kierland resident.

“We can walk to world-class restaurants, shopping and are close to everywhere we want to be. We have all the luxury amenities we could want right here within our building.”

David Hovey Jr. is the president of Optima, the project architect and developer. He said customization is a major aspect to the building. “Optima Buyers tell us that the ability to combine and customize floor plans is a huge selling point, so we have taken that to the next level in this second condominium tower,”

Hovey said. “Customization is the primary focus – floor-to-floor, wall-to-wall, if you can dream it, we can make it happen. Living in a high-rise condominium does not limit the ability to create your custom dream home when you live at Optima Kierland Center.”

Hovey also said many residents of the first tower are planning to purchase an additional home in the second tower. The second tower has an interest list of more than 5,000 potential residents.

Graff will work in the firm’s Real Estate Practice Group, with a focus on expanding the lands use, zoning and municipal government relations practice. “During the course of my career, I’ve always been a part

“By joining Quarles and Brady, I am – for the first time – able to tap into a full suite of legal services for my clients, and effectively serve all of their varied needs at one time.”

In 2004, Graff was appointed by Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano to serve a twoyear term on the Arizona Board of Regents.

“Bringing Ben into the firm is a big win

for Quarles and Brady,” said Nicole Stanton, the firm’s Phoenix-office managing partner.

“Ben enables us to truly round out what we can offer to our clients in relation to real estate and land use.

Frank Lloyd Wright after-school program begins this fall The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the Paradise Valley Unified School District Community Education Department are partnering to pilot a six-week K-12 after-school program in 25 schools. The program will attempt to engage students through hands-on experience using the teachings and principles of Wright’s work.

The program, beginning this fall, will provide participating students in second through fifth grades with one lesson plan per week that focuses on a different facet of Wright’s architecture, including the use of glass, color and shapes. A video will accompany the lesson plans, which feature a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation introducing a basic principle of architecture and applying it to the design and creation of Wright’s winter home, Taliesin West.

“The driving force behind this partnership is to find ways to engage students in the creative areas of art and architecture by using the innovative concepts invented by Frank Lloyd Wright and applying them to the real world,” said DeDee Ludwig-Palit, vice president of public engagement at the Frank Lloyd Wright

attle. Citrus. Cotton. Copper. Climate.

“When I first moved here in the 1980s, the famous Arizona Five Cs all made perfect sense,” Joe Pizzimenti says.

A Detroit native, Pizzimenti initially moved here for the climate, attending ASU to escape the Midwest cold. “Aside from the obvious climate, there were cotton fields, cattle farms and citrus groves as far as the eye could see,” Pizzimenti says. “And the year before I moved down here, there was a massive copper mine strike, so certainly I heard about copper.”

After graduation, though he loved the desert, Pizzimenti moved to New York City to make a name for himself in the advertising world, eventually earning a position at the then-top rock radio station in the country. He would also move back to his native Detroit for a time to lead stations there as well.

“But, though I wasn’t born here, I belonged in Arizona,” says Pizzimenti, who dropped everything to move back to Scottsdale in 1992. “It had only been five or so years, but Arizona had come so far, in the best way possible. And while each of the pillars of Arizona industry was still relevant in its own way, I could see even then an electricity

here, signaling big things for the next several decades.”

Some 26 years later, and more than a decade after founding his own Scottsdale business, Bigfish Creative Group, Pizzimenti felt it was time for the world at large to know what he’d known forever: Arizona freaking rocks.

And for the better half of the past year, he has worked on a top-secret project with his team to illustrate all things awesome about Arizona to the masses. “In our spare time, my team at Bigfish and I have created a new five Cs for Arizona,” he says.

The campaign, which is live now and includes an interactive website, digital campaign and even merchandise, focuses on Culture, Community, Connectivity, Commerce and Catalyst.

“The linchpin of the program is our campaign video, but we then spent about six months researching and reaching out to some of the most respected business, event and nonprofit folks across Arizona, interviewing each of them one by one to tell their story of success and share with the world how they fit into the new AZ 5 Cs as well,” says Pizzimenti, who has a special place in his heart

for the C of “community” as a passionate advocate and board member of the local Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The platform boasts an impressive list of profiles, including folks from the Fiesta Bowl, the Agency Arizona, Arizona State University, AXA Advisors Southwest, Washington Federal bank, Quarles & Brady, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Avnet, the Arizona Commerce Authority, Visit Phoenix, Local First, Genuine Concepts, Carvana, Hickman’s and many more.

The site and its campaign video are being pushed through paid search and traditional marketing right now, and the team hopes to launch a second, more interactive phase of the campaign with new interviews and insights in early 2019.

“Arizona is at the forefront of connecting data, ideas, processes and people in new and effective ways. Arizonans are competing, and winning, while at work and at play like never before,” Pizzimenti says. “Arizona has a new story to tell, and we want to help tell it to the world.”

Health TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine is a one-stop care shop

hen patients walk into TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, one of the first things they see is a sign at the entrance that asks, “Why are you here?”

As Paul Bernitt, manager of TriVita Clinic notes, this question helps inspire their patients to ponder what what they would like more of in their lives – physically, emotionally and spiritually – in addition to helping them manage their health conditions.

“Life is not just about quantity, it’s also about quality,” Bernitt says.

“By maximizing their quality of health, people are better able to do the things they love. We call this ‘wellness for purpose.’”

A variety of medical services At TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine, which opened about 6 years ago, the physicians and staff offer a number of medical services Dr. Ankit Chander is Medical Director of the TriVita Clinic.

The first thing guests see upon entering the clinic is the sign asking why they are there.

that focus on the early detection, prevention and reversal of lifestyle-related diseases – all of which help patients to improve their quality of life. This, Bernitt says, is one of the many things that helps the TriVita Clinic stand apart from other medical clinics in the Valley.

From people who are looking for a primary care physician who will help them take control of their health and those who have cardiovascular issues to women who are looking for a caring and experienced physician for their well-woman exams and teenagers who are dealing with allergies, TriVita Clinic is a one-stop medical care shop.

“Many of our patients appreciate the fact that we can perform general primary care services but also make supplement recom-

mendations, discuss risk factor reduction strategies and incorporate personalized health plans to optimize health,” Bernitt says, adding that at TriVita Clinic, they offer traditional, alternative and complementary medical services, all under an insurance-based model. “We seek deeper understanding not only of symptoms and conditions but of the causes. When the cause is identified, we can reduce the incidence of disease.”

Innovative and effective regenerative medicine procedures In addition to the many traditional medical services that are available at TriVita

Clinic, Bernitt says they also offer regenerative medicine procedures, which uses a patient’s own cells and growth factors to help improve symptoms of debilitating conditions involving the bones, joints and connective tissues.

As Bernitt notes, regenerative medicine is often used by professional athletes and others who are interested in safer alternatives to cortisone injections. As well as helping people who play a lot of sports – both for fun and professionally – Bernitt says regenerative medicine can help people with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, spinal injuries, tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis.

During an appointment, Bernitt says, concentrated growth factors and other healing mediators are applied to the affected area on the patient. Once the regenerative material is on the site, a series of bioactive processes will begin to take place, which leads to natural tissue repair.

This process will then continue for weeks – usually after just one application to the affected area, he says. By using the body’s own growth factors to encourage natural healing and repair, Bernitt says regenerative medicine has the potential to restore the body to its original, pre-injury functions.

Firsthand knowledge of living with pain As Medical Director of the TriVita Clinic, Dr. Ankit Chander, MD, spends his days meeting and treating patients, many of whom are dealing with acute or chronic pain. Chander, who is also a primary care physician, provides all of the services offered at TriVita Clinic, along with nutritional IV and acupuncture services. As someone who has experienced ongoing pain himself, Chander is able to be both sympathetic and empathetic with his patients.

As Chander explains, he once developed severe hip pain, to the point that he was being considered for surgery. Since he did not wish to have hip surgery and was not given any other options, he ended up living with daily pain for over a year.

“It wasn’t until a friend referred me to an integrative medicine practitioner that my life changed. I found someone who would listen and work with me to learn about my pain,” Chander says, adding that to this day, his

experiences with ongoing pain continue to inspire him to provide the best possible care for his patients.

“Because of my pain, I know what my patients are feeling and how pain can rob you of a life you deserve. My pain is what changed my life in a positive way because I learned how integrative medicine can help me and now help my patients.”

Chander, who first earned his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine before training in internal medicine and nuclear medicine at Union Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins Hospital, says working at the TriVita Clinic and helping so many patients to heal and feel better is immensely satisfying.

“I am grateful that so many of my patients are health-conscious and take a proactive approach to their health – it is a joy for me to work with them,” he says.

Putting patients first As Bernitt notes, TriVita’s focus on integrative medicine truly puts the needs of its valued patients first. Rather than a cookie-cutter approach that assumes every patient is the same, Chander and the other physicians at TriVita take the time to know their patients and offer personalized and holistic care.

Also, instead of a revolving-door approach to medicine, Bernitt says TriVita schedules 40 minutes for a new patient visit, as well as 20 minutes for a follow-up appointment.

While established patients who are

suffering from a cold or flu can get a quick 10-minute appointment – typically on the same day they call in – Bernitt says they spend as much time as they can, as often as they can, with new patients.

TriVita Clinic also accepts most health plans, Bernitt says, including Medicare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CIGNA, Humana, United Health Care and many others. People who would like to schedule an appointment at the TriVita Clinic are welcome to call the clinic at any time to inquire about their insurance coverage and set up a first meeting, he adds.

The care is so effective at the TriVita

The lobby at TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine

Clinic, Bernitt says, that most of the patients, who range in age from “18 to 118” end up referring the practice to friends and family – or bringing a family member in for a first appointment.

“Most of our patients bring their family because of the integrative approach to health that is offered at the clinic, and about 75 percent of all our new patients come from existing patient referrals,” Bernitt says.

TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine is located at 16100 N. Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite G-100 in Scottsdale. For more information, call 480-337-4148 or visit trivitaclinic.com.  The treatments rooms at the TriVita Clinic offer several modalities in relaxing and stylish settings.

3D printing and augmented reality help Mayo Clinic doctors treat brain tumors

By Keridwen Cornelius

A

giant arteriovenous malformation floats in the room like a tentacled monster from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. But unlike a squid, this holographic image doesn’t squirm as I circle around it, examining it closely from every side. With a pinching motion, I can even shrink it, magnify it, or flip it over.

Near this monstrosity are wiggly silicone aneurysms, plastic vascular systems that resemble coral, and cancerous sandstone brains. They’re all part of Mayo Clinic’s Precision Neurotherapeutics Innovation (PNT)

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2018

Program, which is using 3D printing and augmented reality to help surgeons practice on models of each patient’s anatomy, create personalized treatment plans, and save lives.

Typically, surgeons rely on a two-dimensional MRI, CT or PET scan. From this, they imagine what the three-dimensional structure they’ll encounter in the operating room looks like. 3D printing lets surgeons hold an exact replica of each patient’s aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation or tumor and rehearse surgical strategies to determine which might be most successful.

“From the surgical perspective, they

love it because they love being able to know beforehand what they’re going to deal with and have practiced it, and that’s impactful to their navigation of care,” says Dr. Kristin Swanson, co-director of the PNT program.

This technology can also help ease the patient’s fears of the unknown, because surgeons can show them their own 3Dprinted aneurysm and have them simulate the operation.

With augmented reality, the surgeon wears a visor called a hololens that allows them to see everything as normal, plus a holographic image. This also helps doctors

strategize before surgery. But the eventual goal is for surgeons to use this technology while operating, so they won’t have to look back and forth between the patient and an MRI image on a monitor. All that information would be within their visual field.

To improve outcomes with brain tumors, Swanson and her team in the PNT’s Mathematical Neuro-Oncology Laboratory are marrying math with oncology. Swanson holds up a 3D-printed brain of a patient with glioblastoma, the cancer that killed John McCain. A rainbow of colors illustrates the distribution of cancer cells. Dark red represents the most concentrated part of the tumor, while orange, yellow, green and blue indicate progressively more diffuse cancer cells.

These cells are not connected. Brain tumors do not resemble tulip bulbs, with a central mass sprouting tendrils. Rather, Swanson explains, “imagine you have a handful of grains of sand. You pour them on the table, so you see some of them roll away. That’s the gradient in tumor cell density. Now imagine those grains of sand are cockroaches, and they can move.”

Brain cancer cells migrate, typically preferring areas with more oxygen and blood. Mathematicians can use equations to model migration in everything from wolves in Yellowstone to tumor cells. They can also make mathematical models of tumor growth.

>

3D-printed replicas of vascular structures in the brain

In addition, they use two types of MRI; one creates a picture of the tumor’s dark red region, and the other gives an approximation of the yellow region. They fill in the density gradient between those areas using math.

From that, they create a 3D picture of each brain tumor.

In the one Swanson is holding, the rainbow spreads almost entirely across the brain. “Patients that look like this are not good candidates for big surgeries,” she says. “You would still be leaving a ton of [cancer] behind. But they are great candidates for chemotherapy.” If, however, the math indicated this diffuse tumor was rapidly growing, radiation would be most effective. On the other hand, if the tumor is

very concentrated, with tight rainbow bands and the blue area close to the red, surgery can be highly successful, she says. “We’ve proven that if the blue is close to the red and you do a surgical approach using this information, you can basically double the patient’s survival.”

The lab is also developing ways of using artificial intelligence and math to more accurately predict which genes are broken in different parts of a tumor, as well as which patients might respond best to various immunotherapies, which harness the power of the immune system. The possibilities even amaze Swanson. “The stuff that we’ve got going on here,” she says, “is just literally blowing my mind.” 

Winning the Lottery Pitcher Danny Farquhar to discuss harrowing brain aneurysm

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

A

year ago, Chicago White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar didn’t have to worry about his three children climbing on him, or mishaps on the diamond.

But on April 20, in a game against the Houston Astros, his life changed. Farquhar, 31, suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm. Farquhar collapsed in the dugout, and on-site medical personnel rushed him to the hospital. Brain surgery followed. He doesn’t remember anything about it. Farquhar, who was released from the hospital May 7, says he’s lucky to be alive.

“The doctor always says I’ve won the lottery,” Farquhar says. “I’m feeling great. It’s almost as close as nothing happened. I just have to be cautious of how soft my skull is. I have to be really careful around ball playing or kids, especially my three. They love to climb on top of me.”

Farquhar, who hasn’t been cleared to play baseball again, will be the keynote speaker at the fourth annual Joe Niekro Foundation Knuckle Ball on Saturday, November 3, at the Hyatt Regency – Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch.

The Scottsdale-based Joe Niekro Foundation was started in 2008 by Natalie Niekro, daughter of 22-year MLB veteran Joe Niekro, after her father’s unexpected death from a ruptured brain aneurysm. The first Knuckle Ball, named after the pitch that made Joe Niekro famous, took place in 2009 in Houston, Texas, where he spent most of his career. Annual events are held in Scottsdale and Houston.

During the evening, the Patients Choice Award will be given to Dr. Felipe C. Albuquerque, Barrow Brain and Spine; Dr. Peter

Institute.

(Photo courtesy Anthony Peter/Chicago White Sox) “I’m super excited,” Farquhar has hosted fundraisers in the past, Farquhar says about the speaking engagement.

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.

Active 20/30 Club puts on Phoenix Suitcase Party for Charity

By Hayden Weber

F

or the tenth year in a row, the Active 20/30 Club of Phoenix is putting on its annual charity event, the Phoenix Suitcase Party, to benefit children all across the Valley.

Attendees are all expected to come to the party with a packed suitcase in hand, as the lucky winners at the end of the night will leave on a private jet or limousine for a luxurious getaway weekend at an undisclosed mystery location.

Destinations in years past have included Sonoma, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, and even a few 5-star staycations in and around the Valley. Dress code for the event is considered casual, but organizers for the party recommend everybody wear jeans or long pants and closed-toe shoes since the event will take place at night in late October. It is also recommended everyone dress as if they are leaving on a private plane at the end of the night, since two lucky attendees will.

“Everyone should come packed like they are leaving for a weekend getaway at the end of the

night,” says Waseem Hamadeh, current president of the Active 20/30 Club of Phoenix. “We’ve got gambling, we’ve got food and drinks.

We have even had a few basketball players come in before. It’s always a great night.”

The party will be held at Scottsdale Airport in association with Gemini Airgroup in North Scottsdale off of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and the Greenway Hayden Loop on Friday, October 26, from 6 to 11 p.m.

The 10,000-square-foot facility is large enough to hold a G-5 aircraft and host all the entertainment and events for the night.

Entry tickets for the party cost $100 per person and each ticket has a chance of winning the grand prize at the end of the night. Guest can greatly increase their chances of winning the big getaway by purchasing raffle tickets for $25 each or five for $100. Tickets can also be tax-refundable under certain conditions. All net proceeds from the party are donated to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the Children in Need foundation.

While all eyes are on the mystery weekend getaway at the end of the night,

Attendees are encouraged to dress as if they’re going on vacation, since two winners will be boarding a jet at the end of the night.

all party attendees will also have the chance to compete in smaller raffles and auctions throughout the course of the night. The silent auction uses a paperless online system to avoid people hovering around table to table. Attendees are able to register for the silent auction on the Phoenix Suitcase Party website before the event.

The Active 20/30 Club of Phoenix is a group of philanthropic men in their twenties and thirties that get together each month to help improve the quality of life for youth in the Valley. Throughout the years, the group has donated its time, money, and efforts to many organizations including the Arizona Foundation for Blind Children, Crisis Nursery Phoenix, A Hand of Hope, and The National Society for Brain Injured Children.

“My favorite part of the event year after year is just seeing how it helps the kids at Phoenix Children’s (Hospital) and Children in Need. It’s so great that we can have this event that is so fun and have it all go to such a great cause,” Hamadeh says.

Lake Havasu City is known as a boating mecca.

Air, Water, Earth Lake Havasu City has all the elements for fun Story and photos by Niki D’Andrea

L

ake Havasu City, aka “Arizona’s Playground,” is well-known for a few things. Firstly, it’s home to London Bridge, relocated to the city piecemeal from England in 1968, reconstructed over the course of three years, and inaugurated in 1971.

The city also sits along a stretch of what

we’ll call the Arizona Riviera, making it a boating mecca beach town in the middle of the cactus-dappled desert. Everything from car shows to music festivals regularly take place along the shores of Lake Havasu, and the city’s sprawling parks and hiking trails see plenty of action, especially October through April, when the weather turns balmy and breezy and sweltering summer temperatures start to subside.

Outdoor recreation is abundant, and few things are better after a hike on a hot day than a cold craft beer. Luckily, Lake Havasu City’s also known for its budding brewery scene.

Beer Town, AZ

Barley Brothers Restaurant & Brewery is the oldest of Lake Havasu City’s four breweries.

The oldest brewery in town, Barley Brothers Restaurant & Brewery (barleybrothers.com), opened in 1997 and is located on the south side of London Bridge. Their award-winning brews skew malty (sometimes you can smell the malts roasting when you walk in the restaurant) and aren’t available anywhere outside the brewery, so getting a growler or two to go

is a good idea. Barley Brothers is especially known for its Tripleberry Wheat beer, made with cranberries, raspberries and blueberries; it’s smooth and fruity, but not overly sweet. The food menu boasts big burgers with interesting variations (one topped with Maine lobster, another with peanut butter and jalapeño jelly); pizzas and hefty, gooey calzones; sandwiches and pastas.

Dining here often comes with a great view of the water under London Bridge.

The restaurant also overlooks a lovely waterfront garden with green foliage, stone fountains and a shaded ramada.

Some of the best brews and food in Arizona, let alone in Lake Havasu City, are found at College Street Brewhouse & Pub (collegestreetbrewhouseandpub. com). Known for their Big Blue Van blueberry wheat beer, College Street also excels in stouts and IPAs. Food menu highlights include delectable, crab-stuffed avocados and the cheesiest, richest mac and cheese on earth.

The newest brewery in town is an outpost of Redlands, California-based Hangar 24 Craft Brewery (hangar24brewery.com). Located in a converted airplane hangar at the Lake Havasu City Municipal Airport, Hangar 24 is so popular with locals that it requires a big overflow lot for additional parking. The long, communalstyle tables facilitate socialization with

strangers, and the blue biplane hanging from the ceiling adds to the aviation vibe.

The brewery’s annual Airfest draws people from all over the region.

Jaxon and the Midnight Sun. The main entertainment will be the big air show, which will feature an aviation performance by Arizona’s own Jon Melby in the Hangar 24 Muscle Bi-Plane, an A-10 Warthog from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, the “Sentimental Journey” B-17 bomber, and an upsidedown helicopter routine by Red Bull Flying Bulls.

General admission tickets for Hangar 24 Airfest cost $12 before October 21 and $18 after. Military with active ID can purchase a general admission ticket for $9. For more information, visit hangar24airfest.com.

Hangin’ Over Havasu Lake Havasu City is a flight-fervent city, with a busy municipal airport and active aviation adventure businesses. The best way to see Lake Havasu City is from the air, and for people who have already flown over the city in a private plane, flying in a weight shift-controlled amphibious aircraft provides a new kind of kick and fresh perspective.

Hangin’ Over Havasu (hanginoverhavasu.com), located next to Hangar 24 at the airport, offers a truly unique adventure – a 30-minute or 60-minute flight lesson in an Airtime Aircraft Cygnet 3. The amphibious, ultralight trike fits one pilot and one student (children must weigh a minimum of 75 pounds) and takes passengers over such Lake Havasu City landmarks as the London Bridge and SARA (Special Activites and Recreation Area) Park, an 1,100-acre park packed with hiking trails.

There’s even a picnic table atop one of the summits, which Hangin’ Over Havasu

owner and pilot Joe Lorenzen will fly over for a great photo op (yes, cameras are allowed, but must be secured in a lanyard).

Reaching elevations of anywhere from 500 to 2,000 feet, the amphibious aircrafts glide with grace over the lake and above some of the mountain peaks. The cool air over the water gives way to a noticeably warmer wind once you fly over the desert.

Through headsets in helmets, Lorenzen communicates with his student and other pilots, schooling them in the basic aircraft functions and sometimes even letting them take the controls for a minute. He’ll sometimes also do a touch-and-go – landing on the surface of the water for a split second and gliding swiftly across its surface.

Back on the ground, participants get a certificate commemorating their lesson, and a recommendation to take more lessons and eventually get certified to fly an Airtime Aircraft Cygnet 3 on their own.

WHERE TO STAY

The two lodgings closest to London Bridge and lakefront activities are London Bridge Resort (londonbridgeresort.com) and Heat Hotel (heathotel.com), but if you’re looking for a place that feels like home, Hidden Palms Resort (hiddenpalms.com) offers one-bedroom suites with queen or king size beds, full kitchens (with dishwashers), and laundry facilities, a barbecue and pool on site. The resort’s not too far from London Bridge and the surrounding attractions (about a ten minute drive), but is far enough away for some relaxing quiet.

English Village is a fun tourist stop with a water fountain at its gated entrance, some retro red British telephone booths (sans phones; they’re for decoration and photo ops only), and everything from candle shops to clothing boutiques. There are also a handful of floating cabanas on the water that are available to rent, and a few boat tour companies that can take passengers to places like Grass Island, Copper Canyon and on a tour of Lake Havasu’s lighthouses – fully functional miniature replicas of notable lighthouses from around the world.

A Joyful Sound Arizona Musicfest stages four months of performances for a good cause

By Kenneth LaFave

I

t was once known as “the little festival that could.” Now it’s the cultural flashpoint of the North Valley.

What else would you call a performance series that has gone from 7,000 attendees in 2013 to more than 21,000 last year? Or one that grew from a few winter performances into a fall-to-spring season of more than two dozen concerts?

The name of the series: Arizona Musicfest.

“We are now a performance series with a full season, but we keep the name as part of our brand,” says Allan E. Naplan, the organization’s executive and producing director.

The air of “festival” – the feeling of a special event – still surrounds Arizona Musicfest, more than 25 years after it began as a handful of chamber-music concerts by local musicians.

But today, the special-event feeling covers a unique concert series that includes classical, pop, Broadway and hard-to-pigeonhole among its representative genres.

A registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, Arizona Musicfest has also grown in its ability to fulfill its community mission to support youth musicians through performance opportunities, scholarships and competitions. Since 2011, the scholarship program has granted more than $70,000 to Arizona students pursuing college degrees in music. Arizona Musicfest’s educational programs provide free instruction to more than 6,000 children every year.

Musicfest’s spectacular growth has taken place entirely within Naplan’s tenure as its producing director, which began in 2013.

Naplan combines a double background of artist and administrator. He began his career as an opera singer, transitioning to arts management in 1999. Administrative positions with the opera companies of Houston, Pittsburgh, Madison (Wisconsin) and Minnesota preceded his move to Phoenix

and Musicfest in 2013.

Immediately on arrival, Naplan began to continue what he saw as the “evolving footprint” of the festival. Quality was high, but “marketing needed to be increased and the patron experience needed improvement.”

“Upping the game meant reaching more people. Musicfest was a wonderful, hidden secret, and I felt strongly that it should be known by everyone,” he says.

Without diminishing the number of classical events in the season, Naplan added popular artists from Michael Feinstein to Pink Martini and Rosanne Cash. It worked to bring more attention to the festival, as well as generate more income.

“As soon as you put a symphony orchestra of 70 people on a stage, it’s a money loser,”

Naplan points out. But moneymaking popular attractions can help offset that loss.

So today, while the classical attractions have actually increased, they are “surrounded by much more.”

The 2018-2019 Musicfest season opens November 2 with a tribute concert to classic rock’s piano men, Billy Joel and Elton John.

Wynonna Judd drops by November 17.

January 28 brings Herb Alpert, founder of the legendary Tijuana Brass, joined by Lani Hall, former lead singer of Latin pop group Brasil ‘66, while star of the Broadway stage Brian Stokes Mitchell pays a call February 7, followed by the legendary Neil Sedaka on February 15.

A major classical draw this season is something called “Violins of Hope.” Superstar violin virtuoso Gil Shaham is the featured guest artist, but the name comes from the origin of the violins Shaham will share with

his audiences.

“The ‘Violins of Hope’ are Holocaust survivors,” Naplan explains. “They are violins found in the death camps, covered with black soot, or found buried under the homes of Jews as they ran from the Gestapo. The founder of the project, Israeli luthier Amnon Weinstein, has recovered and restored over 60 such violins.”

Some 20 of the instruments will be on display during Shaham’s Musicfest Swing band Big Bad Voodoo concerts on February 2 and 24. Shaham Daddy performs as part of Arizona will perform Brahms’ Violin Concerto and Musicfest on February 1, 2019.

Sun Salutation Brightside Yoga classes bring morning glory to Hotel Valley Ho

By Alexis Andreopoulos

T

he iconic Hotel Valley Ho in Old Town Scottsdale recently debuted a new yoga event, the Brightside Yoga series, offering morning classes on select Sundays at 9. Guests and the public can start their day with a one-hour tranquil yoga class with instructor Veronica Clark.

“We wanted to create a super fun, chill environment where people would want to gather with their friends, experience yoga, and then vibe in a space that naturally provokes smiles and overall good feelings,” Clark says.

Guests can admire the view from the Sky Line Lounge Rooftop, and the yoga session will be followed by a poolside mimosa bar and relaxing swim session.

Classes will also be accompanied by DJ Solomon, who will provide uplifting music to help with relaxation. Local juice shop Kaleidoscope will also be there to leave guests feeling refreshed and nourished.

“Classes at the Hotel Valley Ho are going to be super fun! People can expect to have a safe, fun yoga experience that they will not find at a studio,” Clark says.

“Our objective it to ensure that everyone leaves the experience feeling vibrant and energized when they leave.”

As for Clark, she has had plenty of experience instructing yoga, and believes yoga really is a way to fight even the hardest times in someone’s life.

“Cardiovascular health, improved concentration, greater balance, and mental ease are physical benefi ts. So, I will say this, there are different levels of practicing yoga. Some students might just be interested in the physical mat practice – which is perfectly fine; that’s how I started,” she says. “But then the next level of yoga creeps in there, and all of a sudden people start to notice how the

‘breathwork’ is starting to help manage their mental chatter and anxiety and the practice is no longer just physical – it’s mental and emotional.”

Clark started instructing yoga in 2012, and thinks that Brightside Yoga is the perfect place for beginners. “My advice to someone who wants to start yoga is just to do it. Come to Brightside Yoga this Sunday or go take a studio class. But don’t wait for the perfect opportunity, or until you’re in ‘better shape.’ Those are excuses I used for a long time,” Clark says. “If you have a draw towards yoga,

there is probably a reason and there is a gift waiting for you. That gift might be something life-changing or inspiring or it could be as simple as you found the practice you enjoy.”

The first class for Brightside Yoga class was held on September 23. Additional classes are scheduled for October 21 and November 8. Tickets cost $25 and include the class, a poolside mimosa or bellini, valet parking, and a 25 percent-off voucher for brunch after a class. Bring your own mat and water bottle.

McDowell's birth in October Story and photos by Joan Fudala

T

he name “McDowell” is used as much as, or even more than, the name “Scott” in and around Scottsdale.

Scott, of course, refers to the city’s 1888-founder/ homesteader Winfield Scott and his wife Helen. But who was “McDowell,” and why is that name commemorated as a mountain range, preserve, golf course, resort, major Valley/ Scottsdale road, Indian Community, casino and so much more?

He was Major General Irvin McDowell, and this month we honor the 200th anniversary of his birth on October 15, 1818.

Civic War buffs often consider McDowell the Union Army commander who lost the Battle of Bull Run; however, his lifetime of service and contributions to the peaceful settlement of Central Arizona, and ultimately Scottsdale, more than exonerate him.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, young Irvin studied in France during his high school years. His father Abram was a civic leader in Columbus, where a street is named in the family’s honor.

McDowell entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point at age 16. He graduated in 1838, receiving his commission as a Second Lieutenant along with classmate and future battlefield adversary P.G.T. Beauregard.

McDowell served in a number of junior Army officer positions on the various frontiers of the U.S. He was appointed aide-decamp to Brig. Gen. Wool during the War with Mexico in 1845 and was promoted to captain based on “gallantry and good conduct” during the Battle of Buena Vista, Mexico.

Nearly a century before there was a Pentagon, McDowell was assigned to U.S. Army Headquarters in Washington, D.C. in the late 1840s. He served on the staff of General-in-Chief Winfield Scott (nicknamed “Fuss and Feathers,” this was not the Winfield Scott of whom Scottsdale is named) during the 1850s. When the southern states seceded from the Union in 1861, McDowell was a major on the 75-year-old General Scott’s staff. Through the

intervention, or sponsorship, of fellow Ohioan and Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, McDowell was appointed a Brigadier General.

After he assumed command of the Army of the Potomac in 1862, politicians rushed General McDowell into battle, leading an army of inexperienced and untrained Union troops. He faced his West Point classmate, P.G.T. Beauregard, now a Confederate Army general, at the Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia, and lost. He participated in several other battles, including the second Battle of Bull Run, which the Union Army also lost.

Although not passing blame onto any of his subordinates, General McDowell requested an official U.S. Army Court of Inquiry regarding his actions and leadership; he was exonerated.

His days of combat command, however, were over. He spent the rest of the Civil War in senior administrative positions, including Commanding General of the Department of the Pacific, based

at the confluence of the Salt and Verde Rivers in a remote area of the Central Arizona Territory, was named Camp McDowell for its commanding general.

Major General McDowell conducted an inspection tour of Army posts in the Arizona Territory in February 1866. He was dismayed to find that troops at Camp McDowell were spending as much time growing crops to feed themselves and their horses as they were on regular soldier duties.

He encouraged some enterprising Civil War veterans in the area to start a hay camp that could supply the Army post with necessary rations. That “hay camp” became the settlement of Phoenix. One can imagine the route between the hay camp and Camp McDowell took the troops and the suppliers over or around the McDowell Mountains (yes, named for the camp/fort, and thus the general) through what is now Scottsdale.

During his visit to the Arizona Territory, General McDowell befriended the Chief of the Maricopas, Juan Chivaria. He appointed the chief a captain in the U.S. Army and hosted him in San Francisco.

in San Francisco.

McDowell, who had married Helen Burden of New York City in 1849, was a cultured and convivial host, and became a popular government and civic figure in the Bay area. When the Civil War ended in 1865, there was great interest among veterans and others to move West, particularly to the Arizona Territory.

McDowell ensured that Army posts were established to protect new settlements from warring Apaches. One new post, situated

They both served in combat in the Civil War. They were both married to Helens. They were both non-drinkers. They were both assigned to Angel Island in the San Francisco area; however, history has not recorded whether they ever met. Most importantly, they both seemed to love the Arizona Territory and made lasting contributions to its future development.

Braised short ribs

Dorian reflects its passion for food in its menu – and myriad mirrors

By Niki D’Andrea

(Photos courtesy LDH Consulting)

Mirror, mirror on the wall – what’s the most posh nosh spot of all?”

Dorian, a new boutique dining concept that recently reopened after a summer hiatus, may be the answer.

The décor in Dorian is like something straight out of a Victorian steampunk scene – luxurious, oversize crushed blue velvet booths, white leather chaise lounges, giant sparkling chandeliers and massive mirrors, and a charcoal gray life-size statue of an angel wearing goggles standing sentinel in the center of the circular bar.

People who are self-conscious about the way they look or who don’t like other people watching them eat may find the setting unsettling. Mirrors are everywhere, even in the menus, so wherever you go, there you are. (Looking good, presumably.)

The self-absorption aesthetic is a fitting homage to the restaurant’s namesake, Dorian Gray, titular character in Oscar Wilde’s Gothic novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. In the story, an infatuated artist creates a full-length oil painting portrait of the gorgeous Gray, who sells his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty.

The deal is that Gray’s portrait will age and become more hideous with every hedonistic act and sin Gray commits (and

he commits many!), while the man himself remains physically flawless. Of course, there are generally severe repercussions to selling one’s soul in Gothic stories and blues songs. But we wouldn’t want to spoil anything.

Among the decorations are a few colorful portrait paintings. And of course, there is the picture of Dorian Gray. Or is it

Val Kilmer? Sarah, the primary server at Dorian, always asks guests who they think the subject of the portrait is, and 90 percent of the time, people say Kilmer. Perhaps after a few drinks, some people might see Prince William.

Speaking of drinks, Oscar Wilde once said, “Work is the curse of the drinking class,” and Dorian can lift the curse with

A few cocktails skew toward the sweet side, and some are very Champagneforward (Dorian also offers a bevy of bubblies on its drink menu). A couple tipples are bourbon-based. (On Thursdays, Dorian offers a select, special menu of bubbles and bourbon.) Standouts among the six cocktails include the signature Dorian, made with Hennessy VSOP cognac, lemon, sugar and Chandon Brut Classic Champagne; the Trifecta, a blend of Bulleit Bourbon, grapefruit and honey syrup that maintains the brawn of bourbon with just a slightly sweet edge; and Chandon No. 5, a crisp and floral combination of Nolet’s Silver Dry Gin, crème de violette, lemon and Chandon Brut Classic.

But he wishes he could take a step back at the Arizona Taco Festival on Saturday, October 13, and Sunday, October 14, at Salt Guests get in the spirit at the festival.

River Fields in Scottsdale.

“Of all the events I produce, that is the one I would most likely go to,” he says. “I don’t want to work that day. I want to kick back, relax and have a margarita.”

The Arizona Taco Festival was founded by Tyda and Rick Phillips of Affordable Food Festivals and The Taco Group. In reaction to high-priced, exclusionary culinary events, the duo formed a company that orchestrates festivals with three components: a culinary competition, low price of entry and original entertainment programming.

Sixty restaurants will take over 10 acres of grass, with attractions like live bands, lucha libre wrestling (under a tent this year), eating contests and the Chihuahua dog beauty pageant.

The Saturday Tequila Expo will feature samples of 100-plus premium varieties, and the Sunday Margarita Expo, where more than a dozen of the Valley’s top mixologists shake up gourmet cocktails, will also highlight

the spirit. Salsa, guacamole and other Mexican-inspired fare round out the weekend.

The 2018 Arizona Taco Festival will operate on a token system (aka taco bitcoin), where guests will trade their purchased tokens for tacos and margaritas.

“We’re going back to tokens,” Tyda says. “We’re all about doing the things that work, making sure there are no lines to get in and enough taco vendors.

“A lot of people, still to this day, say there are so many lines at the Arizona Taco Festival. I look around and all the popular booths are going to have lines.

great taco booths that don’t have lines.

Go check them out. There could be a great chef. They just may not have decorated the booth as great.”

This year, he recommends patrons try the Taste of Korea’s tacos.

“I always get excited when somebody who doesn’t traditionally make tacos decides to partake,” he says. “It proves my theory that tacos are the most adapted and adaptable cuisine. Every ethnicity can create their version of the taco. For someone who typically cooks Korean food to try the taco festival, that’s exciting.”

Ajo Al’s Mexican Café was Arizona Taco Festival’s grand champion last year.

On top of it, owner Daniel Dains figures he served well over 4,500 tacos last year.

“With the exception of the week before Christmas, that’s the most hours we work during the year,” Dains says. “To get it all prepped, we’ll start on Tuesday or Wednesday. We do the event on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday we put the restaurant back together. It’s basically a straight week of nonsense.”

Wasted Grain completes renovation, opens new Champagne lounge Wasted Grain completed its summer renovation and opened a new sister concept, a Champagne lounge called Bubble Room, in September. The new lounge offers more than 21 different kinds of Champagne, has a capacity of 300 and is located upstairs from Wasted Grain. The two businesses are both owned and operated by Square One Concepts.

“We are extremely excited to open the first Champagne lounge in Old Town,” partner Jason Johnson said. “We look forward to bringing a fresh and innovative experience to a high-energy crowd who will be dressed to impress.”

In addition to the new concept upstairs, Wasted Grain also debuted a new interior and menu. For more information, visit wastedgrain.com and bubbleroomscottsdale.com.

NCounter, a casual spot for breakfast, lunch and brunch, is now franchising with strategic plans to expand nationally by partnering with expe-

rienced multi-unit operators that share the company’s vision.

The original NCounter opened on Mill Avenue in Tempe in 2012 and was acquired by Scottsdale-based Due North Holdings in 2016. Due North Holdings is a privately held company founded by Kevin and Kathryn Blackwell, who also founded Kahala Corp., an international franchisor of restaurant brands. When the Blackwells sold their interest in Kahala, the company owned more than 12 brands, with over 3,000 locations.

Due North Holdings recently relocated into the Airpark from its previous offices near Salt River Fields. For more information about Due North Holdings and NCounter franchising opportunities, visit duenorth-llac.com.

What’s Cooking

With JAN D’ATRI

Pumpkin Spiced Latte, Pup-kin Latte

I

f your favorite coffee house is serving up pumpkin spiced lattes, then it’s official – the holidays have begun!

Many of us are obsessed with this luscious heaven in a mug, but did you know that a delectable pumpkin spiced latte is super easy to make at home?

Wait! There’s more good news! If you have a doggie that you adore, you can make a healthful latte for your pooch, too! Coconut milk and pumpkin puree are actually good for your pup (in moderation, that is. See my note below).

Yep, it’s official, the holidays are here.

Now you and your buddy can

slurp and savor the season together! (Watch my How-To Video here: https://jandatri. com/recipe/pumpkin-spiced-latte-2/) Jan’s note about the ingredients for your pup: Because dogs don’t digest dairy very well, my recipe lists coconut milk, which is OK for dogs. In fact, the American Kennel Club says that coconut milk can strengthen dogs’ immune systems by fighting off viruses and can also help with bad breath and clearing up skin conditions like hot spots, flea allergies, and itchy skin. Also, the fiber in canned pumpkin has proven to benefit dogs’ digestive tracts. But all things in moderation, so small servings are best.

Homemade Pumpkin Spiced Latte Makes 2 Drinks Ingredients: 2 cups milk of any kind 2 heaping tablespoons pumpkin puree 2-3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or sugar 1/2 cup strong hot coffee 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving Whipped cream for topping Directions: Step #1: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, pumpkin puree and honey,

syrup or sugar. Cook until hot but not boiling.

Step #2: Remove from heat and whisk in coffee, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice.

Pour into two mugs.

Step #3: Spoon whipped cream over top.

Sprinkle with a small amount of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

Don’t have Pumpkin Spice Mix? Here’s how to make it!

Mix together: 3 tablespoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons ginger 2 teaspoons nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoons allspice

PUP-KIN Latte!

Ingredients: 1 can (13.5 oz.) coconut milk, cream from top separated 1 cup organic pumpkin puree 1 small pumpkin, halved and seeds scooped out for serving Directions: Remove cream from top of can of coconut milk. Place in small bowl and whip to thicken. In a blender, combine coconut milk and pumpkin puree. Pour into pumpkin bowl. Spoon whipped coconut cream on top.

Let puppy enjoy! (In moderation!)  October 2018 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Scottsdale travel and tourism bring tangible benefits

By Rachel Sacco, President & CEO, Experience Scottsdale

H

ere in Scottsdale, the benefits of travel and tourism are tangible. Visitors have traveled far and wide to enjoy Scottsdale’s unique charm and healing climate since the 19th century, making tourism one of the area’s oldest industries.

And today, it remains one of the largest – adding jobs, tax revenue and economic prosperity.

Nearly 21,000 jobs in Scottsdale are directly related to the tourism industry. Our resorts, restaurants, golf courses, spas and attractions employ those thousands at all levels. For such

62 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2018

businesses – and their employees – the benefits of travel cannot be overstated.

For Taliesin West, an iconic attraction steeped in history, travel adds purpose. “Tourism is the lifeblood of Taliesin West,” says Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation president and CEO Stuart Graff.

“Not only because of the revenue that it brings, but also because it is the way that we carry out our mission. Our job is to take Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles that he articulated through a seven-decade career, 20 [years] of which were here in Scottsdale.

And with more than 100,000 tourists coming through Taliesin West every year, we have the ability to take that message all over the world.”

For Arizona Outback Adventures, an adventure outfi tter that has operated in Scottsdale for more than 20 years, travel adds opportunity. “Without travelers, we would just be a small little business,” director of marketing Annemarie Kruse says.

“Because of the travelers that we get to share the desert and the Southwest with, we’re able to be this flourishing part of the Scottsdale tourism industry.”

For LDV Winery, which offers sips of its Southern Arizona varietals in its Scottsdale tasting room, travel adds customers.

“Tourism is critical to [LDV Winery] because it brings in new people,” co-owner Peggy Fiandaca says. “It allows us to tell our Arizona wine industry story, which is a growing, exciting industry in the state of Arizona. And it allows us to tell the LDV story effectively to new folks.”

And for Cloth & Flame, which hosts elegant dinners in the desert throughout Arizona, travel adds relationships. “Relationships through travel are so important to us, because they extend our reach beyond Scottsdale’s borders,” owner Matt Cooley says.

“We get probably 40 percent of our business from out-of-state visitors. We do a lot of travel groups, corporate groups and meeting planners. Our local groups will see us one time – they love us, they’ll come to our events. But the corporate groups we might see every year in perpetuity, which is an incredible resource to know that you have.”

Because millions of visitors from around the world travel to Scottsdale each year, these businesses – and many more – can thrive. And that means our local economy can thrive.

Scottsdale’s domestic visitors alone – some 8.9 million in 2017 – contributed $2.4 billion in economic impact. But travel’s

importance is not only felt on a local level.

It is felt on a state and national level as well.

In 2017, Arizona welcomed 43.9 million people, who collectively spent $22.7 billion in the state and supported 187,100 industry jobs, according to the Arizona Office of Tourism.

Nationally, travel and tourism account for 2.7 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product and $164.7 billion in tax revenue for federal, state and local governments.

Without such revenue, each American household would pay $1,300 more in taxes.

Together, we as Scottsdale residents, employees and businesses can ensure that this industry remains a strong force in Scottsdale so that we all continue to reap the benefits that travel provides. 

Lease or Own: Factors to consider before buying commercial real estate

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

G

enerally speaking, leasing provides flexibility. However, as lease rates escalate regularly, the ability to relocate and/or quickly right-size comes with an ever increasing price tag. Owning the building that houses your business helps ensure longrange stability. In addition to having pride of ownership, benefits of owning include: 1) The ability to control the costs of occupancy; 2) The drastic reduction in occupancy costs when the mortgage is retired; 3) Real estate is an asset that can be sold or leased to others; 4) The buildup of equity can be used to generate cash through refinancing.

With that said, there are several critical decisions and factors that warrant careful consideration before proceeding with a purchase of commercial property: Decision #1: Have you saved enough cash for a down payment? Most lenders will finance 80 to 90 percent of the purchase price for commercial real estate. In some circumstances, even the down payment can be borrowed, and certain professionals, most notably those in the healthcare occupations, can obtain loans for the full purchase price plus funds to complete needed improvements.

Decision #2: What is the likelihood that your business or practice may need the down payment amount as future working capital? Many business owners and corporate decision-makers choose to lease space because they reason the money tied up in an illiquid investment (such as real property) can be better utilized to grow their businesses.

Decision #3: What type of image do you wish to project? Most businesses and medical practices do not require prime locations and typically need less than 10,000 square feet of space. Thanks to the availability of business condos, small–to-medium sized office users, medical practitioners and those requiring warehouse or showroom space can now readily locate suitable properties to purchase.

If prime locations, large floor plates and upper-story views of the city are important to you, leasing space will probably be the best alternative.

Decision #4: Should you buy a building adequate for your current needs or invest in a multi-tenant property? If your business is

64 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2018

likely to grow, consider acquiring a building larger than required and leasing the unneeded portion to others for either short terms or stager expiration dates to ensure space is available when needed. If you elect to purchase a multi-tenant building, always include a relocation clause in each lease, giving you the right to move a tenant to another space in the building.

(Seldom Discussed) Factors that Affect Price Financial institutions generally require a formal appraisal of the property, typically from one of their approved appraisers. The appraisal will confirm whether the purchase price is reasonable when compared to recent sales of similar properties. Purchase contracts should contain a contingency provision specifying an appraisal “satisfactory to your lender” is a material element of purchase. In the event the appraised value comes in lower than the purchase price, request a reduction in price from the seller; otherwise, you will likely need to contribute additional cash to complete the purchase.

Be mindful that property owners hire listing agents to market their properties for the maximum amount possible. These agents have a fiduciary duty to protect the interests of their client (the property owner) and generally answer only those questions a prospective buyer thinks to ask. Even then, many times their answers are vague.

Tip: Ignore so-called “upside” potential, “market” rates or “comparable” sales. Fully investigate all representations made by the listing agent(s) and property owner, as well as factors that directly affect the price.

The selling price of existing buildings has been greatly affected by investors seeking to complete a “1031 exchange.” Section 1031 of the IRS code provides for the deferment of taxes on the appreciated value of a property when exchanged for a like-kind, more expensive property. To avoid current taxation, and because of time limitations in completing the exchange transaction, many property buyers have been willing to pay top dollar for commercial property, thus inflating the “comps.” Prices paid in 1031 exchanges

are many times not true comparables.

Some sellers increase the perceived value of their multi-tenant investment properties by deferring capital improvement expenses and providing significant up-front concessions to tenants (free rent, tenant improvement allowance, etc.) in order to induce them to sign leases with high-contract rent rates. Taken together, these tactics serve to increase the NOI, or Net Operating Income. All too often, unsuspecting buyers pay prices based on the capitalized value of understated expenses and artificially inflated rental schedules, only to find the roof needs to be replaced and tenants are requesting deep concessions at lease renewal time.

Hire experienced building inspectors and read all leases and amendments carefully.

I suggest interviewing each tenant during the due diligence period to confirm whether they have received any inducements, their feelings and opinions about the building, as well as their intentions and expectations.

In order to make fully informed decisions, savvy tenants and buyers obtain objective information about properties and guidance from an unbiased, experienced commercial real estate advisor and refrain from representing themselves in any commercial real estate transaction. An objective tenant or buyer advisor does not list properties and therefore avoids the inevitable and unavoidable conflicts of interest that arise when one agent, or multiple agents from the same company, attempts to represent both tenant and landlord, or buyer and seller in the same transaction.

All things considered, it makes good economic sense to invest in commercial property as soon as practical and economically feasible. In the long run, commercial real estate should be viewed as a source of wealth creation for you and your family or, if you continue to lease space, for your landlord’s family. 

Arizona Mini-COBRA

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

T

o address the lack of options for employees (and/or their covered dependents) that lose their group insurance from their employer with fewer than 20 employees (as calculated in the previous calendar year), Arizona legislation passed Senate Bill 1217 to allow limited-time group continuation coverage. Although similar to the federal law called COBRA, Arizona “mini-COBRA” has numerous differences.

Effective with a small group insurance plan renewal on or after January 1, 2019, the new law dictates employers are responsible for notifying employees/dependents (who have been enrolled on a group plan for a minimum of 3 months and who are not entitled to Medicare) of their right to continue group coverage for 18 months (“total coverage period”) if they lose coverage due to experiencing any of the following “qualifying” events: Voluntary or Involuntary termination of employment; reduction of work hours; divorce or separation; death of the employee; employee becomes entitled to Medicare; or loss of dependent status under the group plan.

Employers are required to send a notice to the employee/dependent (“qualifier”) within 44 days of the qualifying event (unless the employer knows of a dependent’s different address, sending a single letter to the employee will satisfy the notification requirement). If the notice is postmarked within this 44-day window, the qualifier has 60 days (from the date of the letter) to notify the employer of their desire to continue their group coverage.

Qualifiers are responsible for premiums back to the date they are terminated from the group plan and must be made within 45 days from the day they notify the employer of their continuation decision.

If the employer does not meet the 44-day notification period, qualifiers will be allowed a 120-day election period and to pay premiums back to the coverage termination date. To ease the burden of creating a notice meeting the law’s requirements, the Department of Insurance has been tasked with providing a “model notice.”

Each qualifier will have an independent right to elect Arizona mini-COBRA. The

premiums for the qualifiers will be based upon the group plan rate plus a 5 percent administration fee. Employers are also required to notify qualifiers of changes to the premiums 30 days prior to the change.

If a dependent is deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration within the first 18 months of continuation coverage, they shall be offered an 11-month extension for a total coverage period of 29 months. If a dependent experiences a divorce, separation, employee’s death, entitlement to Medicare or a loss of dependent status during their time under continuation coverage, they shall be offered an additional 18 months of continuation coverage (for a total coverage period of 36 months).

If a qualifier elects to continue coverage, they may continue until the: qualifier completes their total coverage period; qualifier does not make “timely” premium payments; qualifier becomes entitled to Medicare, Medicaid or other healthcare coverage; or employer terminates (without replacing) the group health insurance plan.

The law also addresses continuation coverage for employees in the Military Reserve or National Guard that is outside the scope of this article. For further information you may want to review AZLEG.gov/ legtext/53leg/2R/laws/0164.pdf.

Some of the differences we find between the way the Arizona law is written and federal COBRA are: Regardless of qualifying event experienced, qualifiers will be offered 18 months of coverage. Employers do not have to offer Arizona mini-COBRA to employees/dependents on Medicare at the time of the qualifying event. The law mentions a 45-day grace period for submitting the initial premium payment but never defines “timely manner” payments.

Without this information, we would assume subsequent premium payments are due on the first of the month of coverage with no grace period. Only dependents are eligible for the 11 month disability extension. Qualifiers

may be terminated from Arizona miniCOBRA if it is known they have obtained any other coverage. Employers must notify qualifiers of rate changes 30 days in advance of the change. Qualifiers may be charged a 5 percent administration fee. The qualifying event “divorce or separated” does not state “divorce or legal separation.”

This article was prepared by Scott Beaver, Vice President, COBRA Solutions, Inc. All contents of this article are his initial opinion of Senate Bill 1217. We request you contact an Arizona benefits attorney for advice on this bill. As a leader in federal COBRA administration software, COBRA Solutions will be creating a product to assist small employers with this new law. On January 1, 2019, you will be able to visit ArizonaMiniCobra.com and purchase a time-saving solution.

Note: Both Kate McGee (the bill sponsor) and the Department of Insurance stated there is no designated penalty for noncompliance. The risk is that a former employee or their dependent could sue the employer for not offering continuation coverage.

I am now partnering with leading local health insurance and employee benefits experts. Please reach out to me at 602-692-6832 or Paul@HRaz.com for an initial conversation, evaluation, or referral. 

OCTOBER 2018 Business Horoscopes

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

ARIES 3/21-4/19 Let’s hope October brings an end to our recent chaotic happenings (blame it on this summer’s eclipses and Florence’s unwelcome visit to our east coast). The planet Uranus in Taurus, the money sign, for the next 7-and-a-half years will bring the unexpected in all monetary issues, so start planning now. October puts importance on your professional, personal and social relationships that shifts from you to them.

Interacting is vital for your progress. Best to weigh the pros and cons of every issue before making a commitment.

TAURUS 4/20-5/20 October may have you spending some time by yourself finishing up on a job that may take more time and effort. Utilize this time (the 7th- 22nd) to reinvent yourself and prepare for the unexpected. Circle the New Moon (9th) for starting something new or setting a plan into action, then sit back and enjoy the pleasantries of October’s events.

“Cooperation” and “compromise” are two words that will come in handy as some tensions occur when dealing with others (22nd-31st). Your most productive week begins with the 15th.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 This month can bring a better sense of balance and a chance to rearrange your priorities and become more creative. Take those creative ideas and run with them. The first half of the month gives you a chance to resolve issues you have been avoiding. No other sign is so talented at selling their ideas and themselves. You excel in communicating, sales and presentations. Watch your spending and get caught up on accounts and debts that may catch up with you.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 A bit of teamwork is necessary for the month to run smoothly when heading up a group for a particular project. A planet slowing down (Venus) from the 5th until next November does suggest you communicate clearly with co-workers to avoid any misun-

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2018

derstandings. As a precaution, you may want to reconsider signing any long-term contracts or agreements. Expect the later part of October to bring some increase in earning potential or a loan approval.

LEO 7/23-8/22 October’s emphasis is on your public persona and working in harmony with colleagues. You can relax a little and participate in the social scene and enjoy those approvals you have been expecting these last months. You have been learning new skills and meeting new people. Once the Sun and Jupiter unite, you may expect an increase in all goods, interests, materials, etc. including your own expenses. Some challenges regarding your work or authority could surface, or perhaps some restrictions will be put into play toward the last half of the month.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 October’s early interest is focused on your material affairs and comfort, personal needs and some fun spending. Balancing your budget and allowing some money for social enjoyments is priority. If you are into investing (real estate or stock market), keep a guarded eye on Wall Street as the Sun moves into Scorpio on the 22nd. Feel free to indulge yourself socially (5th-21st) when your personal finances are in balance.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 The tenth month of the year is always your time to shine, indulge yourself and show your social and diplomatic skills. This month is jam-packed with social events, invitations, meetings and community get-togethers, and fundraisers that require your presence. You are in a position to impress.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21 The next three weeks or so could mark a time of retreat and regeneration. Play things low-key and put in time by yourself working on projects or extra hours. Take time to ask yourself about things, people, attitudes or anything that is non- productive or ineffective.

Endings may be a part of this month’s picture.

The Sun entering your own sign on the 22nd gives you energy to apply your personal interests and move ahead.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 Early October can have you happy, lighthearted and socially active. Professional/ work-related connections and networking pays off. Your ideas are spot-on this month.

Follow your instincts, job-wise. Life is about constant change, and nothing lasts forever.

Expect a period of slowdowns, control and power plays to occur around the last two weeks. Watch your words and try to keep comments to yourself.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 Your business, career, job or reputation may be the source of concern this month.

Others may be putting more efforts on important developments. Look and act professionally to be more visible, and stay in contact with the bosses or upper management. Your demeanor is important in and out of the office.

The Full Moon towards the end of October brings a finalization of sorts. Then move on.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Some pleasant travel assignment could be on your work agenda. With Mars in your sign, you are feeling more energetic and more willing to take a risk on yourself. Expect to encounter persons of likeminded interests via social contacts. There is a need to strike a balance between work and personal life. Joint finances become a focus as you end the month.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 The first half of the month draws your attention toward personal growth, regeneration and other’s monies and resources. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan and rid yourself of any work habits that are counter- productive. Take a step back, get out of your social comfort zone and join up with others.

Finding the right property, at the best price and terms, is a time-consuming and frustrating process.

I’m Steve Cross, and my specialty is helping business owners, doctors and corporate executives lease or buy commercial property at the lowest price and best terms possible. Decision-makers concerned about their business’s bottom-line trust my representation for three reasons:

First

I work exclusively for the benefit of tenants and buyers. Because I do not list properties conflicts of interest are eliminated and my clients are assured of being exposed to every available property.

Second

I have leased space for my business and own commercial property.

In other words, I’ve taken every step that my clients are contemplating.

Because I’ve “been there and done that” with my own money my clients know they will receive objective guidance from an experienced professional that shares their values and understands how to minimize occupancy costs.

Third

I have extensive experience solving the problems of tenants and buyers. In fact, since 1984 I’ve helped over 2,700 businesses of every size and description make fully-informed real estate decisions. My clients understand that competent, unbiased representation saves them money, time and aggravation, and ensures that their interests are protected.

Let’s sit down soon and see if we can lower your real estate costs — either by renegotiating your lease terms, relocating to a property that will accept lower rates, or buying a building (and turning rent payments into wealth for your family). I urge you to call me today!

What’s the cost? Zip. Nada. Zero.

That’s because most real estate transactions include a commission which is typically split between the agents that represent each “side” of the transaction. If you represent yourself the entire commission is retained by the listing agent. In addition to doing all the work, you will likely overlook important terms and probably overpay.
