Auto Fixation

M

y first car was a bright orange, 1969 Triumph GT6, with an allchrome engine, orange crushed velvet interior, and a beautiful walnut dashboard. I loved to sit in that car as a wide-eyed teenager, roll down the window, and feel the breezes against my face.

I never drove that car. My dad had traded somebody two lesser vehicles (including a station wagon) for it, and had apparently gotten a good deal because the Triumph didn’t run. Maybe my father figured he’d have it fixed before realizing we needed a mechanic who specialized in vintage British imports. I think my dad secretly got the car for himself.

He never drove it, either. But boy, did we enjoy all the attention that car got just sitting in our driveway. More than a few passersby knocked on our door to ask if we were interested in selling it.

That’s the magic of automobiles – the appearance, the status, the way they speak to the lives and personalities of their owners, even while immobile. Our annual Driving (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) Success issue isn’t so much about cars as it is Niki D'Andrea car collectors and drivers, and this year, writer Executive Editor Jimmy Magahern flagged down some pretty big players, including Russo and Steele collector auction co-founder Drew Alcazar and Chris Hines, president of Arrow Lane Racing and Restoration.

Those wheels start spinning on page 22.

This issue features another kind of horsepower, as writer Sondra Barr takes an in-depth look at the women who are leveling the playing field at this year’s Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships (Fair Play, page 27).

And Marilyn Hawkes examines the economic engines revving up around Scottsdale with a recap of the annual Experience Scottsdale luncheon (New and Improving, page 30).

Shortly before my 18th birthday, my dad traded the Triumph for a 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo. That car actually did run, and I pretty much drove it into the ground. I suppose that car, which I called “Monte,” was really my first set of wheels, but I’ve never lost my fondness for sweet sports cars.

Thankfully, and as this issue demonstrates, there’s certainly no shortage of those around the Airpark.

Vixxo expands partnership with Target

Scottsdale-based Vixxo has expanded its partnership with Target Corporation to include management of the food production equipment at many Target in-store dining locations including Starbucks, Pizza Hut and Target Café. Under the new agreement, Vixxo will be responsible for the maintenance and repair of kitchen equipment, reverse osmosis water systems and plumbing and electrical elements in Target’s food prep and service areas.

“We offer dedicated service centers that store managers can contact when an asset is having an issue,” said Vixxo CEO Jim Reavey.

“Our scale, technology solutions and network of elite service providers allow us to deliver high-quality service while achieving unmatched operational and cost efficiencies. Our experience with multi-site retail, restaurant and conscience store clients makes us an ideal partner for Target.”

Vixxo headquarters opened at 11333 N. Scottsdale Road in the spring of 2016, after Scottsdale’s First Service network merged with Reavey’s Connecticut-based FM Facility Maintenance. The company provides asset management for many Fortune 500 clients in the restaurant, retail, convenience and supermarket industries. For more information, visit vixxo.com.

The Hoover Dam power plant now provides a percentage of Scottsdale Water’s power.

Scottsdale Water begins using power from Hoover Dam On October 1, Scottsdale Water began receiving energy from Hoover Dam, as part of a 50-year contract awarded to the utility company that allocates over 5.1 million kWh of Hoover Power. The amount is equal to approximately 3.7 percent of Scottsdale Water ’s total annual energy use and is projected to produce around $3.9 million in electrical power cost savings over the term of the agreement.

Scottsdale Water was awarded the contract after submitting an application in 2014, asking for an allocation of some of Hoover Dam’s renewable hydropower. Scottsdale Water, which delivers an average of 68 million gallons of drinking water every day, received the second-largest municipal allocation of Hoover Power in Arizona.

Scottsdale Water has served as Scottsdale’s municipal water utility for more than 40 years.

Mountain Shadows resort in Paradise Valley will have its grand opening party from 6 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, November 1. The resort, which originally opened on Lincoln Drive in 1959 and hosted such famous names as Bob Hope, Lucille Ball and Robert Stack, closed in 2004 and was razed before rebuilt by the same developers behind Hotel Valley Ho and Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa. The new resort opened its doors in April 2017, and will see completion of its last wing – a luxury wing with 42 condominiums and suites – in November.

Medicine Hat Police to pilot Axon body and car cameras

Axon Public Safety Canada, a subsidiary of Scottsdale-based Axon Enterprise Inc., announced that the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) will wear Axon Body 2 body cameras and use Axon Fleet in-car cameras as part of a pilot program. The six-month program began in September and goals include enhancing the collection of evidence, public trust and confidence, officer accountability, protection from unfounded allegations of misconduct and the ability to de-escalate volatile situations.

“The Medicine Hat Police Service has been researching how we capture, manage and share all forms of digital evidence for some time,” MHPS chief Andy McGrogan says.

“Based on our extensive research, we are excited to have the opportunity to leverage state-of-the-art technology from Axon Public Safety Canada, at no cost. I truly believe that we need to continue to be innovative in the use of technology best practices. By undertaking this exciting project, we will learn a great deal and help shape the future of our information management strategy.”

On October 19, the Arizona Restaurant Association announced the winners of the 2017 Foodist Awards. A couple eateries in the Scottsdale Airpark area took home honors.

Hash Kitchen was named most “Innovative Restaurant Concept,” an award recognizing a restaurant that defines and sets trends rather than follows them. Another Airpark-area restaurant, El Panzon y Frida, also was a finalist in this category, along with Crujiente Tacos.

Market Street Kitchen won awards for “Best Overall Beverage Program” and “Top Mixologist” (Garrit Guthrie), while Chef Joey Maggiore of Hash Kitchen took the Top Chef prize.

For this first time this year, the nominations and voting for the Foodist Awards were done online. More than 1,500 votes came in to determine the 2017 finalists and winners.

Medical center acquires The ZONE from Bruce Arians’ wife

Scottsdale’s American Center for Biological Medicine (ACMB) has acquired The ZONE from Christine Arians, wife of Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians. The ZONE is a pod-like device that purportedly provides both conscious and subconscious healing and focus by removing outside distractions and adding positive stimuli.

Arians developed the device with grief specialist Barbara Saint John, who will move her practice to ACBM as part of the agreement.

“We provide various treatments to several individual Cardinals football players, which is what indirectly led to our introduction of Chris Arians and The ZONE,” says Dr. Jeoffrey Drobot, NMD of ACBM. “We’re always looking for proven, successful new treatments to assist our many local and out-of-town patients, and Chris and Barbara were the only ones to own this unique device in Arizona. Upon learning they were looking for ways to increase its use, we quickly realized it was a natural fit to bring the device here to the American center for Biological Medicine.”

Other treatments ACMB administers include electromagnetic therapy, neurofeedback, colon hydrotherapy, electron foot baths and IV therapies. “As ACMB patients have been coming through the office for other treatments, we’ve been introducing them to The ZONE and we’re extremely pleased by their positive reaction,” says Dr. Dickson Thom of ACBM. “It’s an excellent addition to our many treatments as The ZONE helps stimulate focus, relaxation and positive emotional healing.”

SOL Cocina launches first new happy hour since inception.

ast month, after (pardon the pun) putting their hearts and SOLs into it, the team at SOL Cocina launched a new happy hour menu, its first full revamp to the restaurant’s happy hour offerings since its launch in 2012.

Available Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. (with the exception of Taco and Tequila Tuesdays), the new happy hour includes an array of SOL Cocina’s Baja-Mexican dishes, along with some pretty sweet margarita specials.

While the menu always included a two-taco deal for $5 with a choice of several protein options, SOL now offers an à la taco option for just $3 per taco with guest’s choice of expanded protein offerings, including beer-battered fish and carnitas. There’s also a heavenly vegetarian option made with sweet potatoes, black beans, pico de gallo

and chipotle mayo.

In addition, for the first time, Sol is offering a Mexican hot dog for $6. So big it is served with a knife for sharing, the hot dog is grilled and wrapped in bacon before getting a healthy portion of cheese, chipotle sauce, lettuce, secret sauce, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños and spicy roasted green salsa on top.

Also new: a specialty cheese crisped on a plancha with melted Mexican cheeses, roasted green chiles and pico de gallo for $5.

Guests can also enjoy a little tableside entertainment, courtesy of the corn esquites,

The watermelon copita includes cubes of watermelon paired with lime, chile con limon powder and salt.

for $3. Much like Mexican street corn, this delightful dish starts by grilling corn on the cob and then dousing it with chipotle sauce, cotija cheese, lime and butter. The twist – to save guests (especially those on dates!) from munching directly on the cob, they bring it to the table and take it off the cob for you.

SOL also added a freshly muddled 14-ounce watermelon margarita to the menu for $9 and a unique watermelon copita side for $5, which includes cubes of fresh watermelon paired with fresh lime, chile con limon powder and salt to enjoy as an aperitif or even light dessert.

SOL’s popular 12-ounce house margaritas, available both on the rocks and frozen with El Jimador Blanco Tequila, continue to be offered on the happy hour menu at just $6 for 12 ounces.

Similarly, a skinny version – on the rocks – of the house favorite is available for $7.

For just $6 a glass, guests can enjoy Line 39 Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Grigio. Every beer on the menu is just $4.

An important note: Sol’s happy hour specials are not offered on Tuesdays. But that’s because they have something extra special on what they call Taco and Tequila Tuesdays. From 4 to 10 p.m., they offer even deeper discounts on tacos, starting at just $2.50, as well as upgraded grande margaritas starting at just $5.50. There also is live music from 6 to 9 p.m.

And finally, though it's not technically on the happy hour menu, consider splurging on SOL’s pumpkin margarita this month ($10). Colin Pflugradt, beverage director at SOL Cocina, explains the seasonal staple: “Every month, we head out to the farmers market to seek out ingredients for an experimental margarita, and every year, we turned to the pumpkin with the crazy idea to put it into a margarita.”

Think boozy, adult pumpkin pie in a cinnamondusted glass. It’s pretty perfect alongside a $3 taco. 

NEIGHBOR

FROM RANCHING TO

Real Estate Jason Wood’s connection to land spans generations

Story and photo by Alison Bailin Batz

J

ason Wood’s story starts more than 100 years ago in Aravaipa Canyon, a wilderness preserve located about 50 miles northeast of Tucson.

“I come from a long line of ranchers who settled in Arizona in the late 1800s,” Wood says. “They lived off of the land, and I think that is how the seeds of working with it – albeit in a very different way – were sown within me.”

Today, Wood works for law firm Quarles & Brady, helping clients in a multitude of industries acquire, finance, develop, lease, and operate real estate of all types, including shopping centers, residential developments, automotive dealerships, hotels, office and industrial parks, apartment complexes and raw land, among others.

He never got the chance to live on the family ranch. His grandparents would sell it – and ensure it was protected, in fact – in 1970, in what was then the largest purchase by the Nature Conservancy, which now owns and manages over 7,000 acres in the area commonly referred to as the Aravaipa Preserve.

“My father was born with a rare and incurable genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to fight infection,” Wood says. “My grandparents didn’t sell the land squarely due to my father, but it was certainly part of the reason.”

But Wood’s father didn’t let the disease control his life. “Determined to make the most of whatever time he had, he became a dentist, married my mother and had both me and my brother before losing his life to the disease at 29 years old,” says Wood, who was just 2 years old at the time.

Certainly, his father’s resolve inspired him as he grew, but there was also another person he looked up to when it came to fortitude and strength of character.

Jason Wood comes “My mother was a homemaker from a long line of ranchers who settled before we lost my dad. There she was Arizona in the 1800s. in the early 1980s with two little boys to care for and what did she do – she got her MBA and eventually became a financial advisor,” Wood says. “You would be hard-pressed to find anyone

20 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

stronger than her. I am very lucky.”

Inspired by both his mom and dad – and his grandparents, who were often there to lend a hand – Wood eventually graduated high school and attended the University of Arizona. He was still interested in working with the land, but also inspired by his daily discussions about the stock market with his mom.

“But a rancher, I was not. So I decided to study finance and see about getting into real estate,” says Wood, who graduated from UofA and then, after working in Tucson for a law firm, entered law school at the University of Texas, with the goal of practicing real estate and business law back in Arizona.

Wood moved back to Arizona – this time the Valley – in 2007 after he graduated, just in time to get his start in real estate as the housing crash began. “Talk about timing,” he says.

But he focused on helping his clients restructure their existing real estate portfolios and overcome other challenges, and in 2014, he was selected for inclusion in Southwest Super Lawyers’ annual list of rising stars.

He would eventually earn the coveted AV® Preeminent rating by the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings system.

He also wanted to make sure he was involved in helping ensure the land in Arizona and beyond is being developed thoughtfully, like his grandparents did before him, so Wood became actively involved in the Arizona District Council of the Urban Land Institute and the Arizona and New Mexico Operations Committee of the International Council of Shopping Centers, while also taking on a board position at Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona.

By early 2016, Wood – now married and, with the help of his “supportive and inspiring wife,” raising two boys in the Airpark – was ready for a new challenge, so he joined Quarles & Brady. Last month, he was chosen as the Arizona chair of the firm’s Real Estate Practice Group. 

Success 2017

CEOs of Airpark businesses catering to car collectors have their own auto obsessions.

By Jimmy Magahern

dam Corolla is obsessed with owning every car Paul Newman ever drove.

The TV and podcasting personality, a major Newman fan who in 2015 wrote and directed the documentary Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman, is said to own the largest collection of cars built for the legendary actor, race car driver and salad oil magnate. And he’s determined to complete it, say those in the rarefied world of vintage car collecting.

“He just paid $4.4 million for the 1979 Porsche 935 that Newman owned,” says

22 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

Chris Hines, who, as president of Arrow Lane Racing and Restoration in the Scottsdale Airpark, specializes in restoring, fabricating and racing vintage race cars. Back in 2011, Hines and his friend Bob Hardison, president of Hardison/Downey Construction, purchased a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Trans-Am race car owned by Newman and driven by his star driver, Scott Sharp, who together propelled the Newman-Sharp sports car racing team to multiple victories.

Corolla heard about it and began putting in a few calls to Scottsdale.

“Adam Corolla has been trying to buy

this car from Bob and I for the last six years,” says the goateed 54-year-old pro driver, who cut his teeth racing dirt cars and sprint cars in the ’80s and competed in NASCAR from 2000 to 2004. “But he’s not gonna get this one! We want to drive it and race it.”

Hines says he raced the Newman-Sharp Olds at the Coronado Speed Week races in San Diego two years ago and won handily with the “stupid fast” car, which Arrow Lane fitted with a new transmission, among other period-correct modifications. For Hines and others into vintage sports car racing, though, it’s not only about the horsepower …continues on page 24

Foods 2000 CEO Rick Ueable poses with his Chevy Camaro ZL1.

My Ride Foods 2000 CEO Rick Ueable talks about his special set of wheels Story and photo by Alison Bailin Batz Rick Ueable is a real estate broker and CEO of Foods 2000 Inc., which owns and operates 40-plus Subway Restaurants across Arizona from the comfort of its Airpark digs. With Subway, he has led local leadership positions on the market’s Subway Franchise Advertising Fund Trust, overseeing the multimillion-dollar marketing budget for the brand in Arizona as well as on the market’s franchisee board. Nationally, he has served on the board of directors for the Independent Purchasing Cooperative since 2000, a franchisee-owned and -operated purchasing cooperative that works with Franchise World Headquarters.

He is a founding board member of Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona, a nonprofit dedicated to helping local children get access to sports, and serves as director of African affairs for Partners in Action, a nonprofit that manages orphanages and schools in Africa. He also is a member of Christ Church of the Valley, where he serves in several capacities.

Tell us how your ride – a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 – is special?

That year, they produced only a limited number of the ZL1s, so there aren’t many on the street. I customized mine with red leather and trim details. There is a 675-horsepower V8 under the hood with custom long tube headers and exhaust

by B&B Exhaust of Phoenix. The car rides on Pirelli POS wrapped around Savanna polished aluminum wheels. Tons of power and lots of fun!

You’ve invested internally in your people as much as your ride. Tell us more.

Our focus is on helping our team live their best lives, not just making the best sandwiches. Early on, we developed a training program as well as workshops and continuing education opportunities — some mandatory and some optional — for every single employee with the goal to empower them to make their own decisions, as well as to be accountable for said decisions.

We’ve expanded the trainings to include life skills seminars, leadership boot camps and programs on professionalism.

In addition to giving out grants to local nonprofits, through Subway Kids & Sports you outfit local children with their own sweet rides?

We do – though the rides are bikes, as the kids don’t have their driver’s licenses quite yet! The program is called Cycle for Success. Through it, we “ride” into a school each month, surprising two students who perform random acts of kindness with new bikes, helmets and locks, as well as Subway lunches for their classes.

but the history: Hines says Arrow Lane’s team spends an enormous amount of time researching where their expensive finds came from, along with who drove them and what races were won with the vehicles.

“It was the first car built in the latter part of ‘89 for the ‘90 Trans-Am series, and Scott Sharp finished second in the championship in that car,” he says of the Cutlass. “It’s really extremely rare.”

At any given time, you can find between 30 and 40 rare sports cars under the roof of Arrow Lane’s 10,600-square-foot garage just east of the Scottsdale Airport runway.

Started by Edie Arrowsmith, one of vintage racing’s pioneering women drivers (who now lives in California, where several of the largest annual races are held), the shop houses many of the historically significant sports cars that its clients – primarily wealthy business magnates who travel the vintage racing circuit as a hobby – keep at the shop between competitions.

“Basically what we do is we take our clients racing all over the place, and we maintain and take care of their cars when they’re not driving them,” Hines says. “Most of them fly in and fly out, they drive their cars for the weekend and then we bring their cars home at the end of the weekend, go back through them all again and get them ready to go for the next time.”

As the man in charge of, as he says, “bringing these cars back from history,” Hines gets to drive all of the multimillion-dollar collector’s vehicles that Arrow Lane maintains.

“Whenever we restore a car, the first guy that drives that car is me,” he says. “I’m kind of like the Arrow Lane test dummy. I make sure it’s operational and actually does what it’s supposed to do before I put someone else in it.”

When he’s not hitting Firebird Raceway to test-drive pricey gems like the 1968 Lola 270 Spider that Scottsdale homebuilder Steve Hilton keeps at Arrow Lane and the “pile” of ’65 and ’66 Mustang Shelby GT350s the facility boards, Hines also maintains an impressive fleet of his own classic sportsters.

“I’m currently campaigning a 1983 Firebird that was raced by [retired Sports Car Club of America racing champion] Rob Dyson in period,” he says. ”I also have some fun street cars that I drive. I have a 1968 Chevy C10 truck with a 550 horsepower LS3 engine in it that we call Goldilocks, because of its gold exterior. That’s my little daily driver. I also have one of the new 2017 Dodge Challengers that’s been completely upgraded with crazy suspension, crazy wheels. It’s 575 horsepower, 600 foot-pounds of torque, and it’s a car I drive back and forth to work. And I’m currently in the middle of rebuilding

a 1968 big block, all-aluminum L88 station wagon Corvette, which is very rare — there’s very few that were ever built. Quite frankly, it’s a pretty weird-looking deal! But I fully expect it to be a very competitive race car.”

As co-owner, with wife Josephine, of the Russo and Steele collector car auctions, Drew Alcazar is acutely aware of the hazards of being a car nut working so closely with European sports and American muscle cars all the time.

“Well, you know the old adage: Don’t get high on your own supply!” says the affable auto auctioneer, parroting Michelle Pfeiffer’s classic unheeded advice to Al Pacino in

Scarface on selling coke. “I’ve never had much luck adhering to that, I’m afraid,” he adds, with a laugh.

“But truthfully, the Russo and Steele Auction was always just kind of a natural extension of the enthusiasm Josephine and I have for eclectic cars,” he adds. “And I think that’s kind of the appeal of the auctions, to some degree. We’ve always kept it real close and personal – kind of like inviting people over to our home.”

Alcazar estimates there are probably 25 or so cars in the couple’s personal collection at the moment, including a Ferrari 250 GT Coupe he recently purchased to match the

Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet that Josephine favors. All of the Alcazar’s personal cars are owned jointly, Drew says, although there’s sometimes a his-and-hers division in who drives them.

“There are some cars that she wouldn’t be caught dead in – like the 1970 Mark Donahue-edition AMC Javelin I bought. So there are some cars that are mine just more or less by default.”

As for which is his favorite, Alcazar says that often comes down to practicality.

“My favorite is the one that, when I go out to the garage, it starts and runs,” he …continues on page 26

…continued from page 25 says, laughing. “It’s the joys of collecting old cars. You get in one, and discover it’s got a bad battery. Get in another, and it’s just not running quite right because the carburetor is gummed up. Finally you go through three or four and one actually behaves itself and you go, ‘Okay, this is the one I’m taking!’

“It’s nice to have a variety of cars,” he continues. “Cars that you can vintage race, cars that you can rally and cars that are just fun to jump into on a Sunday morning and go to breakfast in, like our little 190 SL Mercedes. That’s about the only time that one sees the light of day. But all of our cars actually have some sentimental value for us. Josephine still has the very first Jaguar

I bought for her after we were married as a Valentine’s gift. And I’ve got a 1980 Trans Am that’s got only 370 miles on it. People scratch their heads when they see that one.

But the scoutmaster in my Boy Scouts troop had one, and I thought it was so cool that when I actually could afford one, I had to get it. That’s often how it goes.”

Another problem for obsessive car collectors is finding a place to store all their hulking possessions. The Alcazars keep most of their cars at the Russo and Steele showroom east of the airstrip off Redfield and Hayden Roads, along with a few at home and in Newport Beach, where the company holds another annual auction (a

third is held yearly in Monterey). But Alcazar is well aware his collection may eventually outgrow those facilities as well.

“I’ve come to find warehouses are like bodies of water: They sort of seek their own level,” he says. “The minute I had a 10,000-square-foot warehouse, I filled it up.

Then I got a 30,000-square-foot warehouse and I filled that up.”

Alcazar laughs. “To any collector that uses the excuse, ‘Hey, I can’t buy another car because I’m out of room,’ I tell them, ‘That dog doesn’t hunt,’ because none of us think that way. We always buy more cars than we know what to do with. That’s just part of the craziness.” 

The similarities between their sports drew Ashley Busch to her husband, NASCAR legend Kurt Busch.

Women take the reins at the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships

By Sondra Barr

T

op-rated polo player Ashley Van Metre’s wedding to NASCAR driver Kurt Busch this past January was like a major entertainment event, with 265 guests serenaded by violins and a performance by Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler.

The couple brings their star power to another major event next month, when the seventh annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower takes over WestWorld of Scottsdale. Ashley Busch will be among the women competing at the event, which features six rousing polo matches spread over two days. Busch will represent the Aspen Valley Polo Club when the undefeated champions, led by team owner Melissa Ganzi, take on the MonteCarlo Polo Club on day one of the event.

Historically a male-dominated sport, polo is fast, physical and extremely perilous. Accidents happen as players navigate unpredictable mounts at breakneck speeds while swinging heavy mallets at a small white ball that’s often surrounded by a melee of pounding hoofs.

“People look at you and think, ‘Wow, that’s a really dangerous sport. I can’t believe you play. You must be a really tough girl,’” says lifelong equestrian Busch, a Wilhelmina model known for being the female face of the U.S. Polo Association. “It helps give a little bit of respect and shows that women can be on the same playing field as the men. We’re held to the same standards as men.”

The similarity between their chosen sports was one of the things that initially sparked a conversation between the Buschs when they first met. No stranger to danger, Ashley’s husband has seen his share of wrecks in NASCAR. “I think he probably

worries about me more than I worry about him, just because the safety and technology in their cars is a lot safer. I don’t have quite as much safety gear as Kurt does.

Plus, I’m dealing with an animal with a mind of its own,” Busch says.

American polo player and Arizona native Jeff Hall has likened the sport to crashing cars. “Imagine going 34 mph and getting into a wreck, flying head over heels, and then having a 1,000-pound horse coming down on you.

You don’t have much of a chance,” he says.

“People die – it does happen. You can’t get any more serious than that.”

It’s no wonder that the pioneer of women’s polo, Sue Sally Hale, had to pretend to be a man to compete. A sports trailblazer, she broke American polo’s sex barrier in 1972 when she gained membership in its national governing body after playing matches disguised as a man (complete

Ashley Busch points to a woman’s innate connection with animals as a benefit on the field.

It was Hale’s daughter, Sunset “Sunny” Hale, who became the first woman to win the prestigious U.S. Open Polo Championship, the first woman to be named the most valuable player of multiple top-flight tournaments, and the first woman to receive a five-goal handicap that garnered her a spot in the upper echelons of the sport’s professionals.

Sunny, who brought her unparalleled skills to Scottsdale’s Polo Party over the years, passed away in February due to complications from cancer. To mark Sunny’s contribution to the sport, the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships has marked the Battle of the Sexes match, pitting men against women, as The Sunny Hale Memorial.

Scottsdale-based polo player Natalie Grancharov Camacho, who’s returning for her seventh appearance at the event, is playing in the Battle of the Sexes. Among the opposing team members is her husband, Andres Camacho Castilla, Arizona’s top-ranked player.

The couple met on the polo field in 2012 and played against each other in the 2013 Battle of the Sexes match before marrying in 2014. “It was one of the best matches of my life,” says Camacho, who played side-by-side Sunny that day. “At the end of the match, the men beat the women by one,” she says.

“I don’t think Andres had ever seen women polo players like that. I don’t think most of the men there had either.”

Unlike Busch, Camacho didn’t start riding or playing polo until college at UC Davis. “Collegiate programs are actually one of the best ways to get into polo,” Camacho explains.

“It’s actually less expensive as well because they use school horses.”

Camacho says it wasn’t easy picking up the sport as an adult but, much like Busch, she was drawn to polo because of the gender equality. “Most women love the fact that it’s one of the few sports where men and women can play on an equal playing field at a professional level.”

Busch and Camacho have played polo all over the world and both agree that the male players are typically supportive and very welcoming, no matter the country. “I think that’s why a lot of women are turning to polo now. It’s such a welcoming sport. It’s a family sport. It’s a father-daughter sport. It’s a husband-wife sport,” Camacho says.

But there are some challenges to competing with men.

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

“Physically I may never be able to hit the ball as hard as a lot of men. For me, I focus more on my strategy,” Camacho says.

Meanwhile, Busch points to a woman’s innate connection with animals as a benefit on the field. “I do feel like women have that extra connection with the horse, which helps.” Busch also notes that a lot of the best polo ponies are female horses, which is interesting considering many players view horses to be at least 80 percent of the game.

“When you’re comfortable on your horse and you know your horses, you’re that much better as a player on the field,” Busch says. “Mares tend to just respond better and be more consistent and listen to you.”

Both women admit there is an element of fear when they play.

“I’ve fallen off several times. I feel like you’re due for a fall off once a year, but I haven’t hurt myself too badly. I’ve never broken anything,” Busch says. “I’ve just seen so many accidents happen… it is something that worries me, definitely.”

Yet both agree the benefits outweigh the risks and that women playing polo is good for the sport

and a great way for them to develop new skills – both on and off the field.

For this reason, Camacho and Busch are strong advocates for introducing women to polo. As the face of women’s polo, Busch plays in as many charity and exhibition matches as she can to bring more attention to the sport.

Meanwhile, Camacho’s passion is getting young women involved with polo. “I was able to host two WCT Junior Tournaments, which is the Women’s Championship Tournament series that was founded by Sunny Hale,” Camacho says. “We had them here in the Valley for girls 17 and under to play.” She’s also helped mentor a young local player, Camila Mogollon, a Desert Mountain High School student, who started playing when she was 14 and who’s now 16. “She played at the Polo Party last year,” Camacho says. “I’m so proud of her.”

“Great menus and great cocktails aren’t so different than great albums and amazing bands – each is handcrafted to take you on a journey. With that in mind, we want this event to be the Beatles or Rolling Stones of the fall culinary scene,” says Baer, who is on the Live & Local committee and on the board of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, which benefits from the event.

The 2017 Live & Local, presented by GoDaddy, is the 5th annual foodie fundraising fete, but this marks its first year at Desert Ridge Marketplace. The event aims to bring the Valley’s food and music scenes together for a night of epicurean entertainment that ultimately helps the youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale. The organization, established in 1954, serves thousands of children and teens in Scottsdale, the Northeast Valley, and Native American communities.

“This event is our biggest of the fall, meant to raise critical funds to help us provide a safe place, caring adult mentors, fun, friendship and athletics, and high-impact youth development programs during critical non-school hours throughout greater Scottsdale as well as on neighboring Native American lands,” Baer says.

In addition to the culinary contingent serving samples of myriad cuisines (see sidebar), Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour will be on hand to mix up the newest and coolest cocktails on the market, and pair them with their house-made High Spirited Cupcakes, each infused with actual spirits and liqueurs.

DESERT FOOTPRINTS Exhibit highlights Frank Lloyd Wright’s impact on Scottsdale

The drafting studio at Taliesen West

By Kenneth LaFave / Photos by Stephen C. Price

W

hen the asphalt lies beneath your feet and the buildings all around you look like gigantic chards of glass and steel, it’s difficult to remember we live in a desert.

One man, at least, wanted us never to forget: Frank Lloyd Wright. For the last 20 years of his life, the greatest American architect of the 20th century lived in the Valley part-time, and designed buildings with the intent of blending architecture into the rolling brown landscape all around us.

“He was really focused on adapting to the desert,” says Tawn Downs, central division director for the AZ Heritage Center at Papago Park.

Sponsored by a grant from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and in collaboration with Taliesen West, Wright’s former Scottsdale home and current site of the School of Architecture at Taliesen, the Arizona Heritage Center will present the exhibition “Footprints on the Desert: Frank Lloyd Wright in Arizona.” Through drawings, photographs, 3D models, artifacts, audio and video, the exhibition will explore Wright’s thesis that architecture should grow from its environment, rather than be imposed upon it.

“He called this idea ‘organic architecture,’ and it really comes into play in this exhibition,” Downs

says. “It was important to him for his buildings to become integral to the environment. Part of that he achieved through natural materials and the use of light.”

An example of the latter is Wright’s office at Taliesen West, viewable on tour there. Small, high windows allow in just enough sunlight to provide natural illumination without any hint of glare.

The exhibition will feature video tours of buildings Wright designed for the Valley, including two private residences, the David Wright House and the Harold C. Price House, the various spaces at Taliesen West, and ASU Gammage, the huge performance facility in Tempe that Wright adapted from a design he’d made for an opera house …continues on page 34

The Art

of Life Fred Tieken’s Gallery and Studio is a colorful oasis.

D

By Kenneth LaFave

o a search for “Fred Tieken” and you will find Fred Tieken the graphic designer, Fred Tieken the rock ‘n’ roll saxophonist, Fred Tieken the classic car collector, Fred Tieken the artist, and Fred Tieken the gallery owner.

As you may have guessed, they are all the same guy.

“The looser and more childlike I am, the better,” Tieken says, speaking of the quality of his paintings, which exhibit a kind of free sophistication. But he could also be talking about his life, which he’s led in total abandonment of the usual expectations.

As a musician in the 1950s, he fronted a racially integrated rock ‘n’ roll band when segregation was still the norm. As a graphic artist, he relied more on improvisation than on pre-ordained design.

And just seven short years ago, as a “retired” man of 75, Tieken embarked on a new and demanding career as a painter.

His workaholism started early. “In my early days, I burned the candle at both ends. I would work the day at a design firm in a town in downstate “Volt Catcher” by Fred Tieken, acrylic Illinois, then after work on canvas I’d head for Chicago, play a gig, and be back for work in the morning. To this day, I’m not a good sleeper.”

Tieken put aside the saxophone a few years ago, and today channels the creativity he expressed in music as a young man into paintings that look like the visual equivalent of a busy bebop solo.

His paintings are what you might expect from a man who doesn’t follow rules: Colors clash, images collide, styles get juggled and celebrities sometimes intrude. In some paintings, words appear or even dominate. Take a look at the digital reproductions at fredtieken.com/gallery, and you find, among other images: A man opens a pizza box and exclaims, his face contorted in rage, “I said no anchovies!” …continues on page 36

Andy Warhol stares at you, as a kind of still life with bananas.

An enormous orange cat, wearing cowboy boots on all paws, stares over its haunches at the bird riding on his back.

A man carries a bird cage. The bird inside looks longingly down at two similar, uncaged birds, who gaze sadly back.

A green-eyed figure with bars for teeth, holding a hand grenade. The words “War is hell” are written over him, but “hell” has been crossed out and “fun” substituted.

Seeing Tieken’s paintings reproduced online is one thing, but viewing them as the giant canvases they really are is quite another, and it is easy to do if you are in the Airpark, because Tieken owns a gallery – The Tieken Studio and Gallery, 5202 E. Gold Dust Ave. – where his paintings hang beside those of others.

Not many artists run their own galleries, but for Tieken and his wife, Gail, it came about almost naturally. “We were on an acre and a third, and so we thought, ‘Let’s put a building in the back.’ And then Gail said, ‘Why don’t we just turn it into a gallery?’ It was perfect, because it didn’t hinder our home.

When you enter our property, you go through a gate and a sign points in one direction to the gallery, and in the other to my studio, which is attached our house. It’s all very modernlooking, with lots of glass. For openings, we rent Klieg lights and serve wine in real glasses. Art collectors from New York and Germany say they’ve never seen anything like it.”

The Gold Dust Avenue gallery, dubbed Tieken Studio and Gallery AZ, is but one of three that Tieken’s enormous, virtually overnight success as an artist has enabled him to open.

A second, small studio is located in Venice, California, and in October, Fred and Gail opened the Tieken Gallery L.A. in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles.

Long Live QCOM Marketplace has all the goods

the Olive

Story and photos by Niki D’Andrea

F

irst cultivated in the Mediterranean regions around 7,000 years ago, the humble olive has grown into a fruit of all trades – it can be eaten whole, pressed and made into olive oil, crushed into tapenades, used as garnish for cocktails and so much more. According to the International Olive Council, people around the world consumed more than 2.9 million tons of olive oil last year.

The Rea family’s lives revolve around olives. When patriarch Perry Rea planted 1,000 olive trees on the outskirts of Queen Creek in 1997, the idea was that he and his wife Brenda would make some extra-virgin olive oil. Fast forward 20 years later, and the Reas’ Queen Creek Olive Farm spans 100 acres flush with 7,000 flourishing olive trees, and they produce a plethora of olive-based products, vinegars and even health and beauty items through their Olive Spa line.

In 2012, the Reas opened the Queen Creek Olive Mill Marketplace in Kierland Commons. The store offers a bounty of goods from both Queen Creek Olive Mill and other local purveyors, including Superstition Coffee, Peanut Butter Americano, Urban Oven Crackers and a variety of Arizona wines.

Given the glut of products available on QCOM Marketplace shelves, picking a handful of the hottest items can be challenging.

Nevertheless, we were up for the challenge. Here are a few frequent shopper ’s highlights of Queen Queen Creek Olive Mill products include sparkling wines, stuffed olives and olive oil.

Food and architecture make The City Different a special destination.

By Scott and Erica Shumaker

anta Fe, aka The City Different, has been a gathering place for centuries.

It’s a city of paradoxes: eclectic but emphatically regional; glamorous yet traditional. For anyone who has ever felt that America’s cities and towns were becoming disappointingly uniform, a trip to Santa Fe might provide temporary relief.

Santa Fe’s distinctiveness is more than chamber of commerce hype. Buildings in the Pueblo and Spanish Colonial styles are impressively dominant and created from real adobe bricks. Shops and restaurant – even some McDonald’s locations – in Santa Fe look like traditional adobes.

Built in the 1610s, San Miguel probably has the strongest claim to “oldest church in the United States.”

of New Mexico. There is a lot of lore and beauty packed into this small slice of the state.

ARCHITECTURAL GEMS San Miguel Mission Chapel

Older buildings, some of which are 100 years old, also dot the landscape in and around Santa Fe. Many of these buildings became tourist destinations, but others are private houses, hotels, or adobes slowly crumbling by the side of the road. Perhaps only in New Mexico could “the oldest house in the United States” belong to a jewelry and curio shop. When it comes to adobe in the United States, Santa Fe is the Vatican, the Mecca, the Juilliard.

Besides looking different, Santa Fe also tastes different than other places. New Mexico has its own take on Southwestern food rooted in locally available produce.

We’re in this camp, so we relished discovering all the differences between New Mexican cuisine and more familiar Mexican and Tex-Mex fare. There are also fabulous farm-to-table restaurants in historic buildings and a surprising multitude of specialty chocolate shops.

Santa Fe is hard to beat for an introduction to the food, architecture and romance

Built in the 1610s, San Miguel probably has the strongest claim to “oldest church in the United States.” San Miguel’s church bell (mentioned in Willa Cather’s novel Death of the Archbishop) was cast in Spain in 1356. Like many old adobe chapels in New Mexico, the San Miguel Mission looks modest and unassuming on the outside but boasts an unexpectedly awe-inspiring interior. The whitewash of its massive adobe walls highlights intricately carved and painted decorations, created by local artisans in the 18th and 19th centuries.

El Sanctuario de Chimayó

This adobe shrine, built in 1816, sits on the site of a spring where Don Bernardo Abeyta claimed to have experienced a miraculous healing. Following his healing, he built a small chapel on the spot, which has become a pilgrimage site for as many as 300,000 faithful every year. A room next to the altar houses the “holy dirt” the faithful rub on their bodies for its healing powers.

Set against the piñon-dotted hills, the adobe sanctuary creates an affecting scene.

FOOD FAVORITES

Travelers will work up an appetite exploring the sights.

Before they dine, they should become versed in chiles, as servers will ask guests if they want their New Mexican food red or green. Don’t even bother asking servers which is spicier because the answers are inconsistent. The spice of the chile depends on the batch of chiles the restaurant uses, not the color. The difference between red and green is how the chile is prepared. Red chile sauce is made from chilies that have been dried; green chili sauce is created from fresh green chilies. Diners should try both to determine which style they like best. Or order “Christmas” for half red and half green chile.

Give us a call today, let’s get started.

Plaza Café

The Plaza Café is the oldest restaurant in Santa Fe, founded in 1905. The café offers a retro vibe unique within Santa Fe. It is located on the historic plaza, with great views of people enjoying this fabled center. The Plaza Café started by serving New Mexican cuisine and has evolved since its inception. Today, the restaurant offers New Mexican, American diner classics and Greek cuisine as an homage to the owners’ heritage. A regional highlight on the menu includes a delicious blue corn and pinion nut pancake with textures and flavors that are classic New Mexico. 

Family and sculptor dedicate the Mayor Herb Drinkwater statue on Scottsdale Civic Center Mall in May 2003.

Monuments, sculptures pay tribute to

Scottsdale icons Story and photos by Joan Fudala

T

hanks to the monumental efforts of many individuals and groups, Scottsdale is full of artistic tributes to our most stellar history makers. From sculptures and portraits to buildings, bridges, parks, benches and streets, we’ve memorialized our heroes, heroines and role models in perpetuity.

Here are just a few on view:  Two outdoor sculptures honor Scottsdale’s founder/ namesake, U.S. Army Chaplain Winfield Scott. One is located in a courtyard of the office building erected on the site of the Scott’s homestead on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Indian School roads. The bronze, created by sculptor Buck McCain, depicts Scott as a farmer, and was dedicated in 1988, the centennial of the Scott’s purchase of the land. The second is a bronze by George Ann Tognoni on the west side of Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, facing the Scottsdale Historical Museum. Funded by citizen donations, the sculpture shows Winfield Scott along with his wife, Helen, who is astride their mule, Old Maude. It was dedicated in May 2007. The city, buildings, streets and other things named “Scott” pay

homage to the city’s founder.  Scottsdale’s Native American heritage dates back as far as 8,000 years ago.

Throughout Scottsdale’s downtown, there are sculptures in tribute to Native peoples. Examples include Star York’s “Virgin Spring” on Main Street, the “Bear Tracks” sculpture at the entrance to Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, and “Hopi Deity” by sculptor Doug Wiegel on Airport Drive. The Yaqui Mural project, on display at Vista del Camino, was a project of Scottsdale-born artist Mario Martinez and commemorates the history of Scottsdale’s Penjamo Yaqui residents. In the 1950s, the Scottsdale School Board honored Scottsdale’s Native American heritage by naming current and future schools with names from Native culture (e.g. Hohokam, Hopi, Navajo, Loloma, etc.)  Charles Miller, who purchased the Winfield Scott ranch in the 1910s, was a successful businessman and rancher, and a member of the school board. He’s memorialized by a statue in front of the CVS store on the northwest corner of Indian School and Miller roads.  Before Western towns had postal service, they relied on the Pony Express to bring mail to remote outposts. Volunteer riders of the Hashknife Pony Express reenact this historic ride every winter, culminating in Scottsdale. In 2008, hundreds gathered at the north end of the Marshall Way bridge for the dedication of “Passing the Legacy,” a bronze sculpture paying tribute to these historic mail carriers. Created

A: If you need a new garment fitted, I recommend that you have it cleaned before you have it altered. Allowable shrinkage on garments from the manufacturer is 3–5%. On many items this would not be a problem, but with some it could change the way the garment looks on you.

Funded by citizens, the sculpture by Clyde Ross Morgan was dedicated in May 2003. Drinkwater is also remembered in a bronze bust at Mustang Library, an oil portrait at Scottsdale Civic Center Library, Drinkwater Peak in the McDowells, Drinkwater Boulevard, Scottsdale Leadership’s Drinkwater Award and more.  Veterans have been an important group in Scottsdale, transitioning from military service to public/civic service. Several local veterans’ groups funded “The Chaplain,” an Austin Deuel-designed sculpture on the northeast side of City Hall.

Undergoing four facelifts, the cowboy has been a landmark as well as the backdrop for thousands of photos (it used to be called a “Kodak moment,” but now a generation asks, “What’s a Kodak?”)  Several tributes at the McCormickStillman Railroad Park honor significant Scottsdalians. Anne and Fowler McCormick (she an arts and Arabian patron; he the chairman of the board of International Harvester and a philanthropist) donated land to Scottsdale for the railroad park; a monument to their generosity stands near the clock tower. Anne’s son Guy Stillman donated his Paradise & Pacific Railroad to the park and was the park’s chief champion for nearly 30 years. A bust created by his artist wife Patricia is on display in the lobby of Stillman Station at the park.  Cherished cartoonist Bil Keane, who created Family Circus, is remembered with a bronze sculpture in a pavilion adjacent to the Aguila Depot at the Park. A 50-year resident of Paradise Valley, Keane’s sculpture was designed by Keane’s sons Jeff and Glen, constructed by bronzesmith Fine Art Foundry & Gallery of Prescott and dedicated at the park in November of 2013.  U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater is honored in a bronze sculpture in the Town of Paradise Valley, where he lived for decades. Located in a park at the northeast corner of Lincoln and Tatum, the Barry Goldwater Memorial was created by Arizona artist Joe Beeler and dedicated in 2004. Goldwater’s memory is also saluted in Scottsdale by Goldwater Boulevard, and by a Soleri wind bell on the Scottsdale Waterfront.  Artist/architect Paolo Soleri is commemorated by the bridge and plaza he designed for the east end of the Scottsdale Waterfront. The iconic downtown area was dedicated in December 2010, with the artist present. Cosanti in Paradise Valley, his foundry that creates his famed wind bells, is also a living monument.  Architect and visionary Frank Lloyd Wright is commemorated by busts and paintings at Taliesin West, his school of architecture and winter home established in Scottsdale in 1937. The dramatic spire on the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard – which he originally designed for a proposed new state capitol building – is also a tribute to his creativity.  Several of the key champions for creating the McDowell Sonoran Preserve have been honored with named items in the Preserve: Carla Way at the GateWay, the Carolyn Allen Amphitheater and Jane Rau

There are countless other public and private memorials, statues, paintings and tributes throughout Scottsdale’s 185 square miles that are an homage to the men, women and civic organizations who have made Scottsdale a great place to live, work, learn, raise a family and have fun. 

6 DEGREES URBAN KITCHEN

6 Degrees co-owner Ruthie Johnson with the house frites

Chef Jose Morales’ menu is a melting pot of global cuisines.

By Wynter Holden / Photos by Kimberly Carrillo

T

here’s a theory that every human being on the planet is connected to any other person by no more than six degrees of separation. If you weren’t familiar with this notion earlier, you probably learned about it through the namesake John Guare play that saw a short-lived 2017 revival. Or, more likely, via the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game.

6 Degrees Urban Kitchen extends this theory to its menu, a New American mélange of ingredients and cultures. On one end, you’ll find chicken yakitori and seared ahi, just inches away from poutine and guacamole. At lunchtime, Nashville hot chicken

and a meatloaf/grilled cheese hybrid break bread with Southwest steak and a tangy Cubano with trendy porchetta (Italianseasoned suckling pig).

The ghost of the space’s former incarnation as Alma haunts the tooled leather seats and white brick walls of 6 Degrees. The glass-walled wine cooler, patio conversation areas, and curtained private area remain, and circular gouges in the wood floor have etched former table locations into permanence. Luckily, 6 Degrees updated some of its predecessor’s less desirable features. Gone are Alma’s creepy cow skulls and altar …continues on page 48

candles, replaced by steel girders and a heavily textured wall of riveted metal plates. Two chandeliers crafted from inverted wine glasses hang above the bar, and a 20-foot-long mural made by two L.A. graffiti artists dominates one wall. If 6 Degrees was a residence, it would be a hip L.A. loft.

Early evening on Sunday is the perfect time to visit. The brunch crowds have dissipated, having had their fill of Captain Crunch pancakes, bloody Marys, and mid-afternoon football. The bar is quiet and the glass walls thrown open to let in the cool evening breeze.

Chef Jose Morales’ dinner menu covers a single page, with globally inspired starters, salads and entrees to please almost any palate. A Chicago transplant, Morales’ comfort with culinary diversity shows in Italian, Japanese, Indian, and coastal American dishes.

We began with the crisp cauliflower, one of the restaurant’s most popular appetizers. It’s beautifully cooked, with a tender interior and a light outer crust that bursts with spicy-sweet flavors.

Though described as sambal, the sauce lacks the peppery chile flavor of the traditional Indonesian condiment. It tastes more like Chinese Five Spice with

a light agave nectar glaze. Whatever its origins, the sauce is delectable, and a suitable contrast to the fresh, crisp, inherent “greenness” of lightly seared shishitos.

In a global take on surf ‘n’ turf, my companion and I opted for lobster risotto and grilled skirt steak. The latter was described by our server as

a Mexican-inspired version of steak frites, with chimichurri subbing for the bordelaise or béarnaise.

Be forewarned: This dish is heavy on the carbs.

While the shoestring fries are average, the sliced beef is lean and flavorful, with a delicately charred exterior that lends a smoky flavor. Chef Morales’ version of Argentinean chimchurri sauce is vibrant and garlicky, with an herbaceous parsley base that clears the nasal passages. It’s also bright emerald green, but don’t let the bold color steer you away from this tasty dish.

In contrast, the risotto is subdued. It’s as neutral as a stucco exterior, and cooked past the al dente texture found at most authentic Italian eateries. Good thing comfort food doesn’t need to be visually stunning.

Shepherd’s pie

Skeptical Chymist has happy hour seven days a week.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Photos by Kimberly Carrillo

afternoon game.

“Shepherd’s pie doesn’t have beef in it. I always ask them, ‘Do shepherds herd cattle?”

Kingston, who moved to the United States in 1996 thanks to a green card lottery, opened the restaurant 11 years ago.

When the Airpark-area eatery celebrated its 10-year anniversary, Kingston sent a couple on an all-expensespaid trip to Ireland.

Skeptical Chymist is Kingston’s second restaurant; he also owns Fibber Magees in Chandler.

“We built our own restaurant in Chandler in 2003,” he says. “Shortly afterward, we realized there wasn’t an Irish pub in Scottsdale. We couldn’t find anywhere to rent or lease in 2006. Finding a commercial property at a reasonable rate was nonexistent. We’ve been here 11 years. In the restaurant business, that’s quite an achievement.”

Kingston’s No. 1 priority is food, something the staff constantly evolves and tweaks.

The menu emphasizes modern Irish food. Among the items on the menu: spicy chicken curry with onions, peas,

Sketpical Chymist owner Trevor Kingston moved to the U.S. from Ireland in 1996.

spicy curry sauce and rice pilaf ($14.79); Celtic pot stickers, with corned beef, bacon, cabbage, fresh ginger, sesame oil, wrapped in wontons and fried, served with Szechwan dipping sauce ($10.79); and corned beef and cabbage with mustard onion demi glaze ($11.49/$14.49).

The corned beef is made, per Kingston’s specifications, by Shannon’s Deli Meats in Peoria. The Butcher's Block features grilled lamb cutlets, black puddings, Irish banger, braised pork belly, grilled seasonal vegetable skewers and mint dipping sauce ($16.79). Kingston says the Irish are known for their soups.

“That’s how shepherd’s pie was created,” Kingston says. “You’d have …continues on page 52

Skeptical Chymist, he says, offers quality products at a fair price. It goes beyond the standard restaurant or bar.

“Most people go to the bar after the movies,” he says. “We want people to come here for the whole night. They have a bite to eat. They see a band come on. They stay and listen, have a ‘Car Bomb’ and all of a sudden, they look at their watch and it’s midnight.”

A Car Bomb is a glass of Guinness the height of a shot glass. Pour a half an ounce of Jameson Irish Whiskey and a half an ounce of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Drop the shot glass into the beer and drink.

Skeptical Chymist has happy hour seven days a week.

“We offer the whole night out for you.

A lot of Irish pubs in Ireland don’t offer food,” he adds.

Food and drink aside, Skeptical Chymist is known as an apothecarythemed eatery. He received items for the restaurant from the wife of Phoenix Poison Control’s founder.

Opened 11 years ago, Skeptical Chymist is an enduring neighborhood hangout.

“I asked her how much she wanted, and she said nothing,” he adds. “She gave me the medical kits and the jars that are around here.”

Kingston enjoys taking customers around the restaurant and telling the stories behind the trinkets that line the walls.

“My thing is to meet people and give them a taste of Ireland when they walk in the door,” he says. “They can leave a strip mall in 115-degree weather and say, ‘I feel

like I’m in Ireland.’ The staff doesn’t have to be Irish, but they do have to provide good service to the customers and give them an authentic Irish experience.” 

The Big Green Egg is one of BBQ Island's best-sellers.

BBQ Island gurus offer Thanksgiving tips

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

S

teve Averett and Josh Dae of BBQ Island know a thing or two about grilling.

As barbecue competitors and BBQ Island managers, the pair is perfectly positioned to offer tips on what grills to purchase at the stores, and how to cook numerous dishes.

Dae is the manager of the location at 15815 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard in Scottsdale, while Averett serves as general manager of that store and one at 8155 W. Bell Road in Peoria.

“I think what sets us apart (from other stores) is that we are all heavily involved in the barbecue community, as far as competitions and the outdoor lifestyle,” Averett says.

“We are all pretty accomplished barbecue chefs. We really use the products that we sell every day in our lives.”

Dae competes in events sponsored by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, a professional sanctioning body.

54 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

Josh Dae manages the Scottsdale location of BBQ Island.

“They have competitions all over the world,” he says. “We compete locally when they have events. We have competed in New Mexico, Nevada, California.”

Founded in 2002, BBQ Island has a third store at 8425 S. Emerald Drive in Tempe. Scottsdale and Peoria have 6,000-square-foot showrooms, while Tempe boasts a 14,000-square-foot showroom and warehouse. All the stores are locally owned by Mike West.

The company offers 30 premium brands, including Green Mountain grills, Summerset, Twin Eagles, Delta Heat and Kamado Joe. BBQ Island goes beyond that, though, offering

BBQ Island offers a wide range of grills and grilling items.

project management for a variety of tasks ranging from complete custom kitchen islands to fire pits. Spices, rubs, marinades and sauces, as well as wood pellets/chunks, fire glass/logs and replacement parts are available, too.

“We’ve expanded our lines,” Dae says.

“Perlick is a new one. It’s a high-end under-counter outdoor refrigerator company typically seen at Buffalo Wild Wings or Applebee’s. They’re known for their kegerators and taps. We do a lot of business that way.”

Averett said he and his staff discuss goals with customers before suggesting a product or replacement part.

“We get a lot of people who just want a barbecue grill,” he says. “We ask them a lot of questions as far as what they cook, what they like, what they don’t like. What’s helped them out. What have they ruined.

“We go from that point. We point everybody in a different direction, based on what they want to do. If they want to get into smoking and they’re not looking to make it super complicated, we point them toward a pellet smoker. The pellet smoker is really easy. You just load wood pellets into the hopper, set the temperature, put the food in there and let it go.”

Averett says he regularly hears from customers that they failed at barbecuing. He has one bit of advice: Keep it simple.

“People read online recipes,” says Averett, who has been barbecuing since his childhood. “They’re just trying to cook steaks or ribs. It takes them 10 hours to cook something. It doesn’t need to be that complex.”

BBQ Island staff helps customers with

their meals by offering free cooking classes.

Dae will teach guests how to smoke a turkey at 9 a.m. Saturday, November 11, at the Scottsdale store. Reservations are not required, but the store asks that guests sign up for its mailing list.

“It’ll be done Food Network-style, where you show the prep and then you turn around and show the cooked turkey,” he says. “I’ll provide the details and be here to answer questions. Thanksgiving’s a big family holiday and you don’t want to look silly. The key is to buy a thermometer.

Everything is based on temperature, so you want to have a good thermometer.”

Averett and Dae joined BBQ Island after being “tired of the big, corporate rat race.”

The two say the staff is a tight-knit group that knew each other before BBQ Island.

“You’re not just dealing with people who were hired off their resume,” Dae says. “It’s a family here.

“Obviously, we need to sell stuff to stay in business. We’re not the type of company that’s only here to sell things, though. We try to treat our customers the way we would want to be sold to. If someone needs a new grill and legitimately needs it, we’ll do it.

But we wouldn’t sell a new grill because they need a part. We have three stores, but if one person’s angry with us, that hurts our business.” 

What’s Cooking With JAN D’ATRI

Pasta with Italian sausage and pumpkin sauce

Y

our first reaction to this combination may be similar to mine.

“What? That sounds crazy!” But once your kitchen is filled with the aroma of simmering garlic and wine, and then the combination of pumpkin, sage and spicy sausage, you’re going to realize that pasta with sausage and pumpkin sauce is a home run!

The recipe was made popular by PBS star and cookbook author Nick Stellino, whose authentic Italian cuisine has been featured on numerous television shows for decades. This dish is taken from Nick’s Sicilian roots and is the perfect meal for fall! We have plenty of choices for food and drink using pumpkin and pumpkin spices, from pumpkin spiced

lattes to pumpkin cookies, cakes and pies.

But if you love pasta, this pumpkin sauce brings a whole new flavor profile to your plate. The subtle flavor of the sauce combined with a spicy sausage is unbeatable! This is the dish that made me a pumpkin pasta convert, and I hope it does the same for you. 

Ingredients: 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound Italian hot sausage, casings removed 1 cup chopped onion 10 garlic cloves, sliced thick 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage 1-1/4 cup white wine 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 1-1/4 cup pumpkin puree 2 cups chicken stock 1 pound of pasta (penne or bow tie) 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions: In a large skillet, cook 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the sausage and break up into small pieces. Cook sausage until it browns, about 3 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of the oil from the sausage in the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and chopped sage.

Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring well until the onion and garlic begin to brown. Add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes if desired. Add the reserved sausage back into the skillet with onions and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring well. Add the

wine and deglaze the pan, making sure to scrape the skillet to dislodge all the browned bits. Cook for 8 minutes.

Add the pumpkin puree and cook for 2 minutes, stirring well. Add the chicken stock and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

While sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of water (add 2 tablespoons of salt) to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and pour back into the pot. Add the sauce and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, gently stirring to incorporate. Add the optional Parmesan cheese and serve. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Free Health Care + Set Health Care Free

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

A

well-planned employee benefits program, including health care, can have a huge positive impact on your business. Good programs create more favorable work environments by attracting better applicants and improving job satisfaction and employee retention. When a program is successful, the results flow directly to an improved bottom line. Conversely, there are negative bottom line impacts from poor employee morale and high employee turnover.

If you are happy with the costs and benefits of your current plans, please don’t read further. However, if you are looking to grow and utilize new ideas from leading experts, please read on about two related health care ideas that touch upon achieving better bottom lines.

Free Health Care

According to David Slepak, director of business development at Redirect Health, “We are in a very tight labor market right now.

Many businesses, especially those with high numbers of hourly workers, are competing for new hires to grow.”

“Recently I was on a call with a benefits professional and his client in the Pittsburgh area,” Slepak shares. “A home health care company challenged in both retaining and recruiting employees. With their business poised for significant growth, they will need to hire over 1,500 employees to fuel their expansion in the market. “ Slepak continues, “I explained our health care strategy to the company’s leadership team, showing them how they can attract employees and grow their business by offering FREE health care. It costs the business owner just 61 cents per hour to offer our program to employees for FREE. The CEO’s response was literally, ‘I’d be crazy not to do this. I’ll be able to recruit every health care worker in town.’”

Employers who engage a health care strategy for ALL employees have a competitive advantage. They can then combine the free health care concept with a level-funded PPO or a major medical plan for a total solution.

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

Additional considerations include incorporating Health Savings Accounts, Health Reimbursement Arrangements, or Cafeteria Plans into the mix.

Set Health Care Free

Health care and health insurance are different. In fact, health care can be affordable when you remove waste and administration from the system – in practice, decoupling it from insurance. EverydayCARE, the health care plan from Redirect Health described above, focuses on the 90 percent of health care that people need every day.

By anticipating need and removing co-pays and deductibles, this plan delivers unlimited routine care to employees for just $105 a month – again, that’s about 61 cents an hour for a full-time 40-hour employee.

Most of our health care has become imprisoned by a long history of tax policies and oversight from governments. This combines with insurance company management of health care as well as the continual growth of hospitals and pharmaceutical corporate enterprises to make a juggernaut in the view of businesses and people. Employees are often faced with co-pays of $40 or more to see doctors on top of unaffordable employee contributions toward premiums that increase each year. This is not to mention the high deductibles and out-of-pocket limits that have potential to bankrupt many families.

Immediate Solutions

Big picture, long-range solutions for our society will take decades to evolve. However, businesses can take two immediate proactive measures to improve now.

The first is to break the inertia that prevents possible change. We all know that businesses and people tend to just keep doing what they have done in the past until it breaks. Maybe it is better to consider and implement solutions earlier. This is not only for the health insurance company selected.

It is for the health care strategy of contributions, alternatives, etc.

The second is to get diverse opinions from varying experts in the benefits field. Our world is one of specialization. Some agents specialize in self-funded plans and these are becoming more and more popular for smaller and smaller businesses. Others like a particular insurance company. Some agents experiment with new concepts and ideas while others stay with the market leaders. To stay ahead it behooves businesses to monitor the trends and get diverse opinions.

I am now working with leading experts in the insurance and benefits industry. These experts will review the current health insurance and benefit programs in your business, then you will be provided with detailed comparisons to the new programs like EverydayCARE from Redirect Health, as well as those from Banner-Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Limited-Funding, etc. Please reach out to me for an initial evaluation.  Paul Breslau, Registered Health Underwriter (RHU), Registered Employee Benefit Consultant (REBC), Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), Chartered Advisor for Senior Living (CASL), is President of Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

Spreading the “Loonie Love” for tourism

By Rachel Sacco, President & CEO, Experience Scottsdale

L

ast year, nearly 880,000 Canadians flocked to the Grand Canyon State, despite the rising costs associated with traveling to the U.S. By promoting new flights and deep discounts, Experience Scottsdale hopes to entice even more of our northern friends to fly south to Scottsdale this coming winter.

At 20.7 million, Canadians represented

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

26 percent of international arrivals to the U.S. in 2015, according to the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office. Although the declining value of the Canadian dollar, or “loonie,” has made it costlier for Canadians to travel to the U.S., Canada remains Arizona’s top-grossing international market by overall expenditures.

To offset the costs associated with travel, however, Experience Scottsdale debuted the “Loonie Love” campaign two years ago when the loonie first began to decline.

Last fiscal year, our dedicated website, LoonieLove.com, received nearly 123,000 page views.

On the website, we curate vacation packages and deals from our partners created with our Canadian friends in mind.

Canadians come to Scottsdale to shop, dine, sightsee and participate in outdoor activities. With “Loonie Love” offers, they can get discounts on bike rentals from Arizona Outback Adventures and save on spa treatments at Spa Lamar. Like many

tourismtalk Spa Lamar offers “Loonie Love” discounts on some services.

Scottsdale businesses, both Arizona Outback Adventures and Spa Lamar have ties to Canada: Arizona Outback Adventures president Seth Heald hails from Prince Edward Island and Spa Lamar owner Heidi Lamar is a dual citizen who splits her time between Toronto and Scottsdale.

In addition to those deep savings, Experience Scottsdale continually promotes convenient flight service between Canada and Arizona to encourage more Canadians to book vacations and meetings business in Scottsdale.

It’s easier than ever for visitors from our top markets of Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton to travel to Scottsdale as American Airlines, WestJet and Air Canada airlines offer daily and weekly flights to Phoenix from these cities.

Recently, Air Canada announced a seasonal flight from Montreal to Phoenix, as well. Beginning in February, Air Canada will operate the nonstop flight three times a week through the end of May, serving thousands of winter visitors, part-time residents and business travelers.

Over the next few months, Experience Scottsdale will spread the message about the new Montreal flight. This month, we’re partnering with the Arizona Office of Tourism to host travel writers from Montreal in Scottsdale. And our staff will be on the ground in Montreal to meet with media and travel agents, pitching them on Scottsdale’s offerings and amenities.

We also are able to extend the reach of our message throughout all of Canada by partnering with Canadian-based public relations, tourism

Spa Lamar is owned by a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada.

trade and convention sales representatives. Plus, this winter, Canadians will see Experience Scottsdale’s commercial on national television and our print advertisements in Enroute magazine.

No matter the strength of the loonie, Canadians will always be loony for Scotts-dale. Through marketing and promotion, Experience Scottsdale hopes

to ensure that never changes.  Rachel Sacco is the president and CEO of Experience Scottsdale, which is responsible for marketing the Scottsdale area as a premier travel and meetings destination to national and international leisure visitors, travel agents, tour operators and meeting planners.

Getting to ‘Yes’ (Before the Landlord Says ‘No’)

I

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

ndustry insiders know that commercial real estate is an extremely competitive and complex business with hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake in even the most modest transactions. The leasing process is especially difficult to navigate as meaningful information about the details of comparable transactions and the urgency of landlords is largely unavailable to those whose core business is not leasing space.

In my experience, getting to “yes” is best accomplished by preemptively identifying circumstances and market conditions landlords know to be true (although they may be hesitant to acknowledge), and proposing terms and conditions based on these factors.

This discussion will identify the most common variables that have a direct impact on a business’ overall occupancy costs, and provide insights and strategies tenants should be mindful of when negotiating the lowest rental rate, best terms and most favorable conditions.

Lease term. The length of the lease is the foundation for all negotiations and ultimately determines the economics of the transaction. That’s because property

concessions. Accomplish longer lease terms through renewal options, which provide flexibility and the opportunity to renegotiate lease terms as the market changes. Because real estate agents typically get paid a commission based only on the revenue generated on the initial lease

Generally, greater incentives and concessions can be expected with a longer lease term and can include free rent and a reduced rental rate, as well as contributions from the landlord to improve the space. owners need sufficient time to recoup the value of incentives or concessions made to obtain a tenant’s revenue stream.

Generally, greater incentives and concessions can be expected with a longer lease term and can include free rent and a reduced rental rate, as well as contributions from the landlord to improve the space.

However, at some point, a longer lease term does not yield additional incentives.

Negotiate the shortest lease term that will enable you to extract the maximum

62 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

term, many will press for a longer term in order to enrich themselves.

Occupancy Date vs. Commencement Date. The occupancy date is the date you can move into the premises. The commencement date is the date that rent, or any free rent period, begins. Both dates are negotiable. As landlords prefer the shortest possible vacancy period, time your occupancy to be as close to the availability date as practical. Note that I do not suggest paying rent based on the occupancy date

– merely taking delivery of the improved space earlier, rather than later. While some landlords bristle at granting free rent, most will grant an early occupancy period at no charge. If you’re in the space but not paying rent… it’s free.

Free Rent. Savvy tenants are generally able to negotiate a period of free rent, which serves to effectively reduce the contract rate. To illustrate: Achieving one month of free rent for every year of the proposed lease term lowers the overall rental rate by 8.33 percent. If a space is vacant anyway, free rent is a concession that will cost the landlord nothing. Also, many landlords are willing to grant generous free rent periods in order to keep contract rates and occupancy levels high, and establish a date-certain when rents will begin. I suggest requesting any operational expenses (commonly known as NNN, or Triple Net expenses) be waived during the free rent period.

Rental Rate. The asking rental rate is nothing more than the landlord’s target rental amount, and is based on the landlord’s perception of the highest price an uninformed, unrepresented or under-

commercialrealestateandyou represented tenant will pay. However, no one, including the property owner or its agents and brokers, reasonably expects to achieve it. Therefore, the asking rate is analogous to the sticker price for a car and is merely the starting point of the negotiation. A good rule of thumb is to offer no more than 85 to 90 percent of the asking price. Under-representation occurs when a listing agent, or more than one agent from the same company, represents both landlord and tenant in the same transaction, creating a dual agency. As landlords and tenants have conflicting economic interests, this arrangement always favors the landlord and their agent(s).

Escalations. Endeavor to keep escalations infrequent (if at all) and to a minimum. Also, landlords contend that rents should increase with inflation… but their mortgage is probably fixed – and your ability to increase prices may be limited.

When escalations are absolutely required, negotiate a nominal, fixed amount. That failing, place a ceiling on any increases.

Tenant Improvement (T.I.) Allowance.

Office and industrial spaces should be delivered in a “turnkey” condition. Retail

leases generally carry a T.I. allowance of between $5 and $50 per square foot, depending on whether the space is in “vanilla” (previously occupied) or “gray” (never occupied) condition. Agree to a configuration that will have good second generation value – that is, be usable for a future tenant.

Fixturization Period. If you are performing your own improvements, keep in mind that it will take at least 45-60 days to obtain building permits, plus an additional 45-60 days to build out the space. Negotiate a fixturization period of 90-120 days from the date the space is delivered free of Base Rent and any Triple Net expenses.

Completing the build out before this period expires has the effect of creating additional free rent.

HVAC. In full-service leases, the landlord maintains and repairs the heating and air conditioning systems. This is not the case in Triple Net leases, which are common in retail and larger industrial transactions. Request that the landlord warrant the HVAC systems for the entire period of your tenancy, including any exercised option periods. If a full-term

warranty is not possible, negotiate an annual cap on the tenant’s out-of-pocket expenses: $300 to $500 per year (not per occurrence) is reasonable.

Closing Comments. Before any landlords “no” you, make certain they know you’ve done your homework, and that you understand the true state of the market and the many variables that can be negotiated.

Also, identify and simultaneously negotiate on multiple buildings, the owners of which would welcome the opportunity to compete for your tenancy (read: revenue stream). Always remember, the last thing a landlord wants to hear you say is “No, I’ve leased space elsewhere.” Stephen A.

gold&silver

Financial freedom in seven simple questions

By Michael K. Rowlands

1. What are my goals?

Am I looking for profit, protection or both? How much am I looking to invest? Is this a one-time investment or do I want to add to this investment in the future? What is my timeline for making this investment?

What is my risk level: high, moderate or low?

2. Do I understand this investment?

If you can’t understand how something works, you can’t properly answer question #1. If you don’t understand it, either do your homework or have someone explain it to you until you understand it. Before you invest, you should be able to explain to other people what you’re doing. Nothing is worth investing in if you can’t comprehend it.

3. What’s the investment’s track record?

History solves the mystery. Understanding the history of the investment offers insight into how it will perform in different environments. Knowing how it reacts in a recession, inflation and booms will give you the keys to answering question #1. The big warning that comes with this is that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

4. What are the costs? How much does this investment cost you in fees?

How much does it cost to sell? How much does it cost me to hold? These fees should be very transparent, and if they’re not, you should be wary of both what is being offered and who it is offering it to you. Remember that returns are never guaranteed, but fees usually are.

5. What are the pros and the cons of this investment?

Before investing a dime, make sure you understand the potential for loss.

64 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2017

This is where it really pays off to be a little pessimistic.

Understand the worst-case scenario and make sure you are comfortable with the potential outcome. When people skip this question, they often become emotional when they start to lose money. This causes a panic sell, which most of the time comes at the worst possible time to sell. Understanding the possible downside will help you hold

"As an investor, you should have two exit strategies: number one, to capture and keep your profits; and number two, to limit your downside risk." strong through rough patches and stick to your investment strategy through thick and thin. This is the most important foundation which investment success is built on.

6. What is the time frame for this investment?

Is this a long-term investment (5-20 years)? Is this a moderate-term investment (2-5 years)? Is this a short-term investment (12-24 months)? Having a time frame for your investment is a must when answering question #7.

7. What is my exit strategy?

If you don’t have an exit strategy, your portfolio will never realize its gains. It doesn’t matter if you’re a trader or a buyand-hold person – not having an exit point is a recipe for disaster. As an investor, you should have two exit strategies: number

one, to capture and keep your profits; and number two, to limit your downside risk.

Having a price point picked out based on the goal you set with questions #1 and #6 will help you always keep your profits.

Having an exit strategy picked based on your risk limit will always keep your downside at a minimum.

By asking yourself these seven questions before you invest, you will make smarter investments and achieve greater financial success. When you have an idea that creates a purpose, with a purpose comes a plan, and with a plan comes action, and with action you get results.

Answer these seven questions, and you will get an idea, a purpose, a plan and action. This will lead to success in the future. Contact one of our wealth coaches at 480-739-1299. 

NOVEMBER 2017 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers ARIES 3/21-4/20 October’s nonstop intensity left its mark, setting up a new stage in your life and professional plans for the months ahead. Sun remains in the sign of Scorpio, a sign associated with other people’s money, financial commitments, loans and debts. A need to get your finances under control is urgent -- best to address any pending money issues by the full moon on the 4th.

TAURUS 4/21-5/20 A major two-and-a-half-year cycle begins this fall, exerting a strong influence on your significant relationships. Think ahead: You may have to let go of some things, methods, habits or people that have outworn their usefulness and move on. The planet Saturn has entered a new sign supporting all your plans for the year ahead; it’s not too soon to start working on them.

GEMINI 5/21-6/21 You can say goodbye to those challenging past two years or so. It’s time to go in a new direction. Some issues related to former debts, monetary agreements or opportunities may come up for review (1st through 21st).

Expect your job and professional situation to become more settled once the sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd. Mixing and mingling is important; take advantage of the holiday season to do some networking.

CANCER 6/22-7/22 Utilize this month to develop new skills and work techniques. Those in sales – especially real estate, construction and the financial market – will see an increase in values, material costs, gains and losses. Keep a sharp eye on their weekly activities. Any work-related travel should be completed by the 19th. The second half of the month is favorable for doing some brain storming.

LEO 7/23-8/22 A bit of power playing or control situations regarding your work or profession could bring out the best or worse in you the first half of the month. Get all paperwork in order

early on. The aspects by the third week allow time to reconstruct some new strategies and think outside the box. Stay alert to the many new restrictions and laws that will be put in place as our world changes. Circle the 17th through 30th for shear personal enjoyment and blessings. The new moon (18th) brings a focus to home and family.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 Close communication during dealings from a distance should be made clear if you want a successful month ahead. Don’t let issues slide. Let your cellphone or computer do

potentials. I’ll say it again and again: There is no such thing as luck. November marks a month of opportunities. Underline the full moon (14th) for personal awareness. The new moon (18th) brings change, new situations, and a new beginning of sorts for you.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 It may not be apparent to you, but there are some issues that will come to light before the month is over. Your finances may have been under some stressful circumstances, but hold on -- all may conclude before the year is out. Use the resources or confidences you have this month to work things out the week of the 20th.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 You are about to go on a personal and professional journey in the next few weeks that will alter your lifestyle, career and possibly your personal life.

Legal info, procedures or pending litigations may surface by the third week of the month. If thinking of advancing yourself, seeking the info you need near the new moon on the 18th will bring it to light.

the walking. Go ahead and start filling in your work calendar for the next month, but be prepared for some possible rearranging.

November’s intensity is hidden; trust your innate efficiency.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 Your finances are apt to be in a state of flux as the month unfolds. Don’t panic; just keep abreast of all monetary-related situations, dealings and financial projects. Put your energies into keeping a balance; now that Jupiter is in the sign of Scorpio, it can be a game of taking from Peter to give to Paul this month. Loans, debts, contracts or related concerns last until the 22nd, when you are free to enjoy the holidays.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21 Jupiter recently entering your own sign for the next 12 months is a powerful game-changer.

But you have to be aware of its presence and

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 It may be a little too soon to put yourself out there socially, but you can begin to plan and then be ready. Use the early part of November to do some private planning. You can and should make your social appearance by the third week and get back to what you do best: networking. You have a major “breaking ground” cycle ahead.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Like the other water signs, you finally gain some ground and more importantly, confidence in yourself. You can renew some friendships and move rapidly forward in your industry. Pisces can be passiveaggressive or too understanding – never underestimate your quiet power, know it need not be quiet anymore.  For a personal reading, contact weissastro@aol. com or weisskelly24@gmail.com.

adio

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

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

INTELLIGENCE: Having over 2,700 commercial transactions

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

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

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

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

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