“I have been a customer of Airpark Auto Service for many years. When I found out Stacey’s had changed to Kerry’s I was skeptical, but I decided to bring in my Lexus for a routine service. I was astounded with the high level of service Kerry’s provided. Jake and Jason went to the utmost lengths for me and my vehicles. Their claim that they can work on any type of vehicle rang true as they had an assortment of different cars in the shop; ranging from a Model T to a box truck. They even brought me out to the shop and showed me parts they were fabricating for an RV. After seeing their capabilities and customer service, I knew they would remain my shop! They had earned my trust to work on my 1955 Chevy Bel-air for complicated wiring and suspension work. Their pricing was very good, and they consistently sent me pictures of my repairs. Their exceptional communication shocked me; I never once had to reach out to them, wondering what was going on with my car. They even hand washed and waxed it! I was beyond delighted, and I will be bringing all my vehicles to Kerry’s Airpark Auto Service.” – Jim Timmerman

Editor’s Note

Wings & Wheels

O

n November 3, the new Aviation Business Center celebrated its grand opening at Scottsdale Airport. The 40,790-square-foot complex features sleek offices, a restaurant, and colorful aviation-themed glass panels by Welsh artist Martin Donlin (which are featured in one of this issue’s “Arts in the Airpark” stories, Eye on the Sky, page 41).

The business center is just one part of a $27 million renovation to Scottsdale Airport that also includes two new gleaming executive hangars (each 25-feet-tall and 30,000-square-feet), a multilevel parking garage and a plaza project observing the airport’s history as a training facility for Air Force pilots during World War II. It’s an exciting growth spurt for Scottsdale Airpark, which has seen a wave of retail and residential development in recent years while retaining and expanding its aviation-based core. There are more hangars and planes than ever before, and that’s meant an explosion in businesses that serve the aviation industry in some way, from online shops that sell headsets and other pilot supplies to companies that specialize in washing and cleaning aircraft. Writer Jimmy Magahern explores all the ancillary services (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) that keep Scottsdale Airpark moving smoothly Niki D'Andrea in this month’s feature, Flight Club (page 29).

Executive Editor In addition to looking up, it’s also worth looking around the Airpark, because there’s all sorts of stuff happening on the ground. The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships return this month, bringing two international models and pro players – Ashley Busch and Nacho Figueras – to WestWorld (see our story Got that Swing on page 34). The Goodguys autumn car show rolls into WestWorld later this month, unofficially kicking off car show season in the Airpark (Wheel Good Time, page 32). It will be followed, of course, by the Barrett-Jackson and RussoSteele car auctions early next year. Then Goodguys will be back in March for its annual spring event. And local car shows continue almost weekly at Scottsdale Promenade. Have I mentioned that cars are kind of a big deal around the Airpark?

Wings and wheels are sister obsessions in Scottsdale, and the growth and showcase season that’s upon us will be a feast of fascinations in aviary evolution, development and commerce, and cool cars.

The Creative Center of Scottsdale opens new work spaces for artists The Creative Center of Scottsdale, a shared working space for artists, has five available work spaces in its historic building.

The building, located at 3616 N. Scottsdale Road, formerly housed Mandall’s Shooting Supplies store. The 4,000-square-foot center offers a community environment and networking opportunities.

Shared work spots include a 10-by-10-foot area and access to all building amenities, starting at $300 per month. Renting includes Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, lockers, an outdoor courtyard, a rack pulley to dry and display artwork, and more.

“I created the center to fit the needs of the creative mind,” Creative Center of Scottsdale owner Michelle Biely said. “Artists don’t

need a desk and computer. They need open space and natural light to see their visions come to life.”

Biely repurposed the old Mandall’s building to let in more natural light via tall ceiling windows while retaining iconic pieces of the previous business. Original shipping containers were turned into a table and bar chairs. The handmade filing cabinets were repurposed into lockers and the old address letters now hang on the interior walls. “With Mandall’s being such a historic part of Old Town Scottsdale, I wanted to make sure I honored that and kept the integrity of the original architecture,” Biely said.

Movie ticket prices range from $7.95 to $12.50 (and all movies are just $6 all day on Tuesdays), and happy hour (3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday) brings significant savings: half-off all beer, wine, Roadhouse Margaritas and the trio of appetizers dubbed “Munchies” on the menu (chips and salsa, nachos and quesadillas).

The bar at Roadhouse Cinemas serves all-Arizona crat beer and specialty margaritas, among other drinks.

Beer prices are already beyond reasonable. Almost all the brews on the menu cost $5.75, including award-winners and popular crafts like Oak Creek Hefeweizen, Papago Orange Blossom, Barrio Blonde and Mother Road Kolsch. The Grand Canyon Amber Ale goes for a mere $2.87.

The Roadhouse Margaritas are pitch perfect, and the cocktail menu also includes a darn tasty Moscow Mule. Wine is scant, but there’s always a good Malbec on hand.

Aside from 50 percent off the Munchies, happy hour doesn’t bring discounts on food.

Barry Chasse founded CHASSE Building Team and is on the Board of Governors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale.

Chasing

Dreams

Barry Chasse builds structures with his business, and builds community with BGCGS

By Alison Bailin Batz

B

arry Chasse believes in sticking with things over the long haul. Take his college internship, for example.

“I was a sophomore at Arizona State University in the early 1990s, studying construction, and had the chance to intern with a contracting company to earn some experience,” Chasse says. “It was a small company, but it had just merged with one of the biggest contracting firms in the country right as I was graduating.

They hired me on as an official employee – actually their first employee as the new business – when I graduated.”

He would go on to lead the company for 17 years, growing it to 150 employees and eventually into one of Arizona’s largest contractors. During that time, Chasse had a client who was involved in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale (BGCGS).

“It was around the same time I was becoming a parent myself (in the early 2000s), so I tagged along to a board meeting and a few events with him,” Chasse says.

“Beyond after-school programs, I quickly learned that the clubs provided mentoring, school readiness, art programs, STEM and even digital workshops for kids from the Airpark to Fountain Hills and on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community reservation.”

School and community center projects became a niche for us, and still remain a passion of mine. Everyone involved in the process is often doing it as a labor of love, and it shows.

In 2005, he joined the Board of Governors. As his role within the organization grew – serving as Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Annual Giving Campaign and even on the Board of Trustees – his desire to chase a new professional dream grew as well: opening a company of his own in Chasse Building Team (CHASSE).

There was just one problem – Chasse made the decision to go out on his own in 2007, about six months before Arizona

fell into its deepest recession in history, especially when it came to commercial real estate projects. “Talk about timing,” Chasse says with a chuckle. “Thankfully, clients were willing to give us a shot based on past experiences.”

Though small, Chasse earned a tenant improvement project for Vestar at Tempe Marketplace, and then a $4 million retail center project. Opportunities in the education realm soon followed.

“School and community center projects became a niche for us, and still remain a passion of mine. Everyone involved in the process is often doing it as a labor of love, and it shows,” says Chasse, who has now done hundreds of school projects, including the recently completed $76 million Canyon View High School in the Agua Fria Union High School District.

Chasse utilized the Lean Construction process (visit leanconstruction.org to learn more) to reduce cost, materials and time

so the school could open its doors and welcome more than 450 freshmen this semester.

In addition to schools, Chasse found similar success in multi-family, office, retail centers and nonprofit work. Today, CHASSE is a 125-member team averaging more than $200 million in client engagements each year. “We have grown to the point where this fall and into the winter we are expanding into new, bigger offices here in the Valley and in Tucson,” Chasse says. “We should be into both new spaces by early 2019, just in time to celebrate our 12th anniversary – is that a thing?”

While prepping for the move, the BGCGS continues to keep him busy. “I take on any role where the BGCGS needs me, so that we can help the more than 20,000 youth at nine clubs located within the communities of Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Mesa, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and the Hualapai Nation. The clubs’ outcome-based programming assures that success is in reach for all kids and teens who enter the doors of a club, no matter their circumstances,” Chasse says.

This time of year, that role includes the return of one of the largest annual events benefiting the BGCGS: Live & Local, presented by GoDaddy in November.

According to Chasse, the 21-and-older event will take place Sunday, November 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. at The District at Desert Ridge Marketplace and will feature dozens of area restaurants sampling their menus, mixologists, wine and beer tastings, and live music from DJ Miss Mixx, Nate Nathan & The MacDaddy-Os and many more.

“I am out here chasing my dreams, one day at a time,” Chasse says. “I just hope by supporting the clubs and events like this, I can in some small way help the kids in this community to chase theirs.” 

AutoTune New Look Collision expands with new facility in Scottsdale

W

hen Michael Whittemore began fixing an old Camaro and Pontiac Firebird at age 17, he knew he had a passion for cars. He parlayed that passion into an 18-year career as an auto technician, but never imagined he’d be the owner of his own automobile service center with multiple locations.

His first New Look Collision shop opened in Henderson, Nevada in 2004, and over the years he expanded to four collision centers throughout the state. The Whittemore family would often venture to its cabin in Flagstaff, and over time, Michael fell in love with Arizona. Sensing a bit of an untapped local market for repairs, and seeing plenty of luxury cars lining the street, Whittemore opened his fifth shop in Scottsdale early this year.

The new location, at 15450 N. 84th Street, has around 17,000 square feet of space for nearly anything necessary for repairs and maintenance of cars. The shop has manufacturer-brand equipment throughout the repair space, and certifications and rave reviews line the walls of the inner office.

“A lot of the people we worked with in Nevada actually live in the Phoenix area, so that’s great for face-to-face communication and contact with them. Also, Scottsdale was perfect for us to come to because there are so many people driving those high-end vehicles here, especially Tesla,” Whittemore says.

The Scottsdale location has become certified through Tesla corporate, much like the shops in Nevada have been certified through the manufacturers of several luxury and regular-use cars. But it’s not just the quality of the car repairs or the friendly staff that make the shop a desirable spot for business – the team also consistently looks for new ways to innovate.

Car shops have existed for decades, but one aspect of New Look Collision that sets it apart is its true embrace of technology in the 21st century.

In 2007, just around the time he saw smart phones in the hands of so many people, Whittemore and his team developed a way to integrate the camera and messaging systems into their vehicle repair service. …continues on page 28 The New Look Collision shop in Scottsdale has around 17,000 square feet of space.

New Look Collision owner Michael Whittemore has had a passion for cars since he was a teenager.

…continued from page 27 “Everybody uses their phone for everything, so you can actually go to our website and then you can pick the location that your vehicle’s at. Then, you can plug in your cell phone number and it’ll go right into our database and it’ll show you where your car is in the repair process. And for everybody today, everybody wants instant access and that’s perfect,” he says.

The website also allows customers to get a free estimate quickly from the scene of a crash. Whittemore says the company gets about 200 of those estimate requests every month.

“You take three pictures with your phone. You fill out a quick information form, send it to our estimator on the website and it’ll kick an estimate back to you based off the photos,” he explains.

“We’ll send a price estimate back and you’ll know right away whether it’s worth making a claim or paying the deductible.”

The New Look Collision website also offers a free blog for customers and those interested in the shop. The blog provides clear, easy-to-understand answers to questions such as, “How

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2018

much do car insurance rates go up after an accident?” and “Does a car accident void the warranty?”

All of the shop’s administrators have years of experience working with cars and also possess an understanding of some of the industry’s financial inner workings. They hope that the blog, in addition to quality work on vehicles, draws customers in.

“People want information, not just on what we do here specifically in the shop, but just on some plain information about their cars and insurance stuff. We want to be able to help them where we can,” Whittemore says.

Whittemore says he no longer repairs cars himself for business or leisure and is more focused on running the shop with his wife, Theressa, who handles finances and most of the paperwork.

Russ McCannon, New Look Collision’s body shop manager, says the pair gives off a family atmosphere that is rare to find in corporate America. McCannon says communication lines are always open, and the level of respect everybody shares for each other makes New Look Collision a great place to work. That, in turn, makes the customer service even better.

“In some corporate places, you’re

not noticed unless something goes catastrophically wrong or something exceptional happens, but even then, you can be overlooked. Working with almost a ‘mom and pop’ store, you can tell that everybody really has an interest and their hands in whatever’s going on here,” McCannon says.

New Look Collision works with the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Ride programs to restore and donate cars to those in need, in an attempt to pay forward some of the business and care its employees have received.

“This year we gave it to a single father whose son had autism and they didn’t have a car, so he had to take the city bus all the way across town to go to his appointments, and now he’s got a car.

So, that was really cool to see. We care about our customers and want to give back to the community when we can,” Whittemore says.

Whittemore hopes his shop generates enough business to expand in the Valley.

He says he has his eyes on locations in Mesa and Tempe, as well as other spots in Arizona.

rank Abagnale would have had a field day at the MyPilotStore warehouse.

The famous impostor, whose con of posing as a Pan Am pilot to fly free on more than a million miles worth of flights was immortalized in the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, would have been able to get his whole wardrobe – uniform, pilot’s cap, even lapel wings and epaulets – in one visit to the Scottsdale Airpark mail order business.

“We do a lot of uniforms for airlines and corporate regional carriers – the shirts, hats,

epaulets, ties,” says owner Corbin Glowacki, strolling past a long rack of jackets occupying one of several adjoining storage rooms in the 19,000-square-foot building on North 76th Street just off of the Greenway-Hayden Loop.

“Not all of the airlines provide uniforms for their pilots. Some of them just give the pilots or flight attendants a stipend, and they go and buy their own uniforms and get reimbursed.

Same with headsets: Some airlines will provide the headsets to pilots, and some will just give them a reimbursement.”

Unlike Abagnale, however, you don’t have to forge a Federal Aviation Administration pilot’s license to dress like an air boss: “There isn’t anything that we sell that requires a special license or credentials to be able to buy.”

The inventory is a treasure trove of products for anyone who flies the friendly skies for a living or hobby: everything from professional flight bags and aircraft manuals to aviation charts and FAA airman exam guides (“The reports of paper’s death are greatly exaggerated,” Glowacki quips). But it’s not just airline employees who buy from MyPilotStore, which has grown out of four previous buildings around the Airpark over its 20-year history.

“A majority of our customers are pilots, but a lot of them are just aviation enthusiasts, November 2018 Scottsdale Airpark News | 29

and we’ll sell a lot of these bomber jackets to them,” Glowacki says, flipping through a few choice leather flight jackets hanging on the rack. Indeed, even non-flyers who’ve only fantasized about diving through the sky in an F-14 Tomcat can buy an exact replica of the iconic bomber jacket Tom Cruise wore in Top Gun – just in time for the planned 2019 sequel.

MyPilotStore.com carries the G-1 flight jacket made by New York-based Cockpit USA, specially tailored to early-‘60s specifications and decorated with the exact same 17 embroidered patches and USN anchor pin featured on Cruise’s original, all for $710.

“You can see we’re pretty stocked up,” says Glowacki, a sometime pilot and unabashed aviation enthusiast himself. “I’m hoping we’ll have a good Christmas season!”

Apart from apparel, the warehouse also stocks oddities like WWII fighter plane holiday ornaments, “Mutt Muffs” protective headphones for dogs (the workplace is very dog-friendly) and even a 10-pack of barf bags.

“We also sell a lot of those to people that are going on cruises or bus trips,” Glowacki says, with a knowing smile. “Many uses for those.”

MyPilotStore is just one of a multitude of businesses scattered around the Airpark that are specifically tied to the aviation industry or serve the pilot community, from companies that offer pilot training, private jet chartering and aircraft rental to in-flight catering and hangar and shade leasing. (A handy listing can be found on the City of Scottsdale’s “Airport/Airpark Businesses” page at scottsdaleaz.gov/airport/airport-businesses.)

In recent years, Scottsdale’s economic development team has sought to expand the business makeup of the Airpark by attracting companies in cybersecurity, health care, financial and other non-aviation fields.

But even executives in those industries enjoy their private jets, and the area around the airport has retained its strong, flight-friendly community.

“Pilots and aviation people are the best,” says Jeff Burrows, 28-year-old founder of JBS Executive Detailing, an aircraft washing and detailing service that has evolved from a humble car washing business he started with his brothers at age 9 in Southern California to a busy Scottsdale-based business offering mobile jet-cleaning service to the airports in Scottsdale and Deer Valley.

“It really is a community,” he says. “Every pilot knows each other; it’s just one big family. And pilots are the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met – even the multimillionaire private jet owners.”

Burrows says he still does some auto detailing work, but most of the company’s focus lately has been on aircraft, “just because it’s so specialized and there’s a high demand for it here.”

To begin with, a bad washing job on an aircraft can damage its structural integrity, wiring and other components in ways that can sometimes result in disaster.

Burrows points to TWA Flight 800, the Boeing 747 that exploded over

30 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2018

the Atlantic Ocean on a flight from New York City to Rome in 1996. Investigators found traces of water-borne cleaning fluids on the wiring, which dampened the wires and may have contributed to some short-circuiting that ultimately led to the explosion.

“The first thing that goes into any aircraft detailing is a very thorough examination,” he says. “So we have a digital platform that allows us to go over every square inch of the aircraft, and we discuss everything that we see with either the pilot or the owner. That ensures that everything from some flaking paint on the wing to a damaged de-icing boot are all addressed.”

Todd Puckett, another aircraft detailer who

he’s pretty honest about why. “I just wanted to make more money than I could doing cars,” he says.

“I started this business with my brother in 1999 in New York, but we grew up in the Hamptons, so we had clients that used to fly us on private jets to go to Florida to clean their John Stahr’s painting “Winged Goddess” is one of yachts, which was crazy. many he’s done on planes.

But that’s how we got the (Photos courtesy John Stahr) idea to also clean their jets. So my brother started a detailing company at runs Aero Panache, a Phoenix-based aircraft cleaning and detailing service with an office Dulles International Airport to cover the East in the Signature Flight Support building Coast and I started this one in Arizona.”

Besides the Scottsdale Airport, Puckett overlooking the Scottsdale Airport runway, agrees that aircraft detailing is an exacting also provides mobile service to Phoenix Sky Harbor, Deer Valley, Goodyear, Falcon Field, science best left to professionals.

“It’s a different animal than auto detail- Phoenix-Mesa Gateway and Carefree Airport.

He says there are challenges dealing with ing,” says Puckett, who also started with cars before progressing to aircraft. “There’s a lot of the private jet set, but plenty of rewards as instruments that protrude from the surface of well. “We do a lot of the charter airplanes, the aircraft and they’re all delicate. Sometimes which are not typically kept up so well. So we’ll go to facilities where the janitors will it’s kind of neat if somebody’s chartering an also clean the airplanes, and they can use the aircraft for $20,000 to $100,000, we can make wrong cleaning products and wreck pieces it even nicer for them.”

Speaking of making planes nicer, John that cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s kind Stahr has painted some of the best-looking of a bummer when we see that.”

Puckett says he rarely does cars now, and planes spied on the Scottsdale Airport’s

runway, although he doesn’t live anywhere close to the Airpark.

Stahr runs Artistic Aviation in Eugene, Oregon, a one-man custom painting service whose airbrush work – often intricate and imaginative renderings of fanciful creatures, Vargus-style pin-ups and bold flashes of nature (white-capped waves, bright sunbeams) – has adorned the private jets of billionaires like Richard Branson and dazzled aviation enthusiasts at the annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

But he’s also done a number of projects for Scottsdale-based pilots, including a couple with strong Arizona themes, and he occasionally paints at the Tucson bombardier facility (although much of his work involves painting parts of airplanes shipped to him before they’re completely assembled).

“I did one for a guy who wanted to celebrate the Arizona contingent of each of the six branches of the armed services,” Stahr says. “So I did a wrap-around montage on his airplane that includes a Pat Tillman portrait for the Army, on the Navy side we put the U.S.S. Arizona, and for the Air Force there’s an Arizona National Guard F-16. So he’s tried to reflect his Arizona heritage in the artwork.”

Stahr typically meets with the plane owner first to hash out ideas, then keeps the owner updated digitally. “I’m doing one now for a guy in Scottsdale who’s building his own Van’s RV-8, which is the same kind of plane I own and fly,” he says. “And he was a career F-14 Navy Tomcat pilot, so he’s like a walking, talking Maverick from Top Gun. So for his airplane, we’re recreating as much of the look of the F-14 from his squadron as we can. Kind of a tongue-in-cheek celebration of his glory days flying for 20 years in the Navy.”

Stahr’s added touches like stripes on the tail mimicking the tail hook of the F-14, and a cheek turret on the nose that fools the eye into thinking the plane is packing a machine gun. “It kind of tells a story about the owner.”

Even though some of the aviation-oriented businesses around the Airpark could be operating out of locations with cheaper rent, many choose to be by the action they serve.

“I’ve always been in the Airpark for a variety of reasons,” says Glowacki of MyPilotStore’s building number 5. “It’s near the airport, making it easy to go fly. We’ve had a number of flight instructors that have worked for us over the years and it’s easy for them to split their time between instructing or flying and being at our office. It’s also easily accessible from the freeways with lots of shopping and food options nearby for employees.”

Most importantly, perhaps, is working within the flight community. “Overall, the pilot community is great. They’re smart guys and gals,” Glowacki says. “And they’re very loyal, if you treat them right.” 

Goodguys brings its Southwest Nationals to WestWorld

efore Ernie Oakes retired from his governmental position, he moved frequently, often to unfamiliar towns. There was always one thing he could rely on to meet friends: the hotrod community.

“When I moved from Salem, Oregon, to Kansas City, I knew nobody,” says Oakes, who now lives in Anthem. “I had my ’47 Chevy convertible. I’d go to a cruise-in on Saturday night and the next thing I knew, I had 10 to 15 new friends. If you’re a hotrodder, you’re always a hotrodder.”

For the last 34 years, Oakes bolstered his circle of friends with Goodguys, a large, outdoor “cool cars, cool people and good times” event featuring more than 3,000 hotrods, custom cars, classics, muscle cars and trucks through 1987 vintage.

The Goodguys 21st Southwest Nationals Car Show takes place Friday, November 16 through Sunday, November 18, at WestWorld of Scottsdale.

“The Southwest Nationals is different from the spring event,” says Betsy Bennett, director of public relations for the event series. “The March event is the beginning of our season and the November event is the finale. Scottsdale is a special place for us.”

Guests can also browse and shop the vast collection of vendor displays, and engage like-minded enthusiasts at the swap meet and car corral.

Ashley Busch hops on the horse again for polo championships

A

s one of the world’s top female polo players, Ashley Busch has toured the world, played with Prince Harry and graced the cover of a slew of magazines.

But the wife of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch especially loves Scottsdale and the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships, set for Saturday, November 10, and Sunday, November 11.

“Scottsdale and Arizona are two of my favorite places to go,” says Busch, the star of the forthcoming CMT docuseries Racing Wives. “I love the shopping, the restaurants and the scenery. I’m from Virginia and we have lots of green. It’s different to see the desert, the mountains and cacti.”

Busch, who made her Scottsdale debut last year, will play for the Wales Polo Team, led by captain Ricky Cooper and one of Europe’s finest players, Pete Webb.

three-time defending champion.

“Nacho is coming to the event for the first time, which is great,” Busch says. “He’s obviously a showman and a big draw for people.

More importantly, he’s a friend of mine.”

Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships founder Jason Rose echoes that sentiment.

“Nacho is the most famous pro polo player in the world,” Rose says. “He’s playing thanks to the Aspen Valley Polo Club, for whom he is going to play. He was at the royal wedding of Prince Harry. His face is on TV commercials everywhere. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him play and the crowd really reacted to him.

It’s really something.”

Last year, more than 13,000 people enjoyed the weekend spectacle, with food and beverage and ticket revenue surging 70 percent from the previous year.

This year will also see the Scottsdale debut of Memo Gracida, considered to be one of the top two polo players, as well as teams from Italy, Santa Ynez Wine Country, Miami and Wales. They will join the Arizona Polo Club, Polo Azteca and Work to Ride, the first all-African-American high school polo champions. The inspirational story of Work to Ride has been featured on 60 Minutes, HBO and ESPN. Their appearance in this year’s event is being made possible by a grant from Safeway/Albertsons.

“It’s the eighth year and it’s evolved into the most-attended polo event in the United States,” Rose says. “The captain of the Wales polo team said it’s the best polo event in the world.

“We’re very, very proud of that. It’s because we have terrific polo. Teams come in from around the country and the world.

make or break me. If they’re not having a good day, we’re not having a good day. I do the best I can.

“I just try to focus on the game and not think about the horse. I’ll play that horse for half of a period and jump on a new horse. I’ll practice a lot, though, to get a feel for how they’re going to be. We play at least six different horses in one game.”

The Busch family lives in North Carolina for seven months, and then in Florida during the polo season, which begins in January.

A polo player flew in from Rome and said, ‘I’ve heard about your event. I came to check it out myself and ask you in person if my Italy polo team can play in the event.’ Hey, if you’re flying in from Rome and you’re that courteous to ask me, you have a spot.”

Lifelong horse lover Busch has been riding horses since she was 5. She showed horses until she was 11, when she tried polo for the first time.

“I stopped showing and all other types of riding,” Busch says. “I stuck to polo and I’ve been doing it for the past 17 years. Riding is second nature and that helped me advance to where I am today.”

Polo has opened many doors for her, she adds. She’s the brand ambassador for the U.S. Polo Association, which has a $1.5 billion global retail footprint.

In July, she won the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club with the Sentebale St. Regis team in England. Her teammate was Harry, Duke of Sussex – more commonly known as Prince Harry.

Figueras captained the team and Miguel Mendoza served as the fourth teammate for the Sentebale St. Regis team. The event raised funds and awareness for the duke’s charity, Sentebale, which supports the well-being of children with HIV in Lesotho and Botswana.

Sentebale means “forget me not.”

Busch says she couldn’t comment on her time with the royal family. “That experience was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she says.

“Polo is super unique. When you’re out on the playing field, everyone is equal: women, men, royals, regular people. It’s very unique being out there on the field.”

oughly 420 miles from Phoenix, El Paso lies on the borders of Texas, New Mexico and Mexico and is brimming with multicultural diversity. Expect to find American and Mexican influences woven throughout the cuisine and sites. Visitors can look forward to a free and engaging art museum, a historical and famed cemetery and culinary delights when they visit this border town.

Where to Stay Housed in the 100-year old former home of Roger ’s Furniture Building, Stanton House (stantonhouse.wpengine.com) is downtown El Paso’s newest hotel (slated to open in November). Although the exterior mostly retains its original historical architecture, the interior is modern and sleek with warm gray and white tones throughout.

Guests can look forward to a 42-room art-centric hotel—think an image of rapper Pharrell in a bright pink hat and Adidas jacket hanging above the bed or a colorful image of a bottle of iconic Chanel No. 5 on the wall of the bathroom. The hotel is slated to house 125 pieces of art total.

Even if you don’t stay here, it’s worth popping into the lobby to see the art installation Shylights—a moving light sculpture hung from the ceiling that rises and falls and opens like white flower petals—in the hotel’s

The eatery is intended to reflect the diversity of the area and is slated to feature a mix of Mexican, European and American influences. Diners can feast on Quesadilla Tlayuda (beans, quesillo, roasted mushrooms, short rib and salsa verde) or a variety of gourmet tacos including soft shell crab and octopus and pork confit tacos.

Highlights here include customizable 10-inch wood-fired pizzas like the braised pear and pecan. Guests can order beer, wine or cocktails to complement their pies. If you book a room at Hotel Indigo, be prepared to hear music from the lounge on the weekends.

Ask for a room on the opposite side of the lounge to reduce the chances of noise.

Even if you’re not into art, the El Paso Museum of Art (epma.art) is worth a visit.

Best of all, admission is free. The downtown museum is noteworthy for its collection

of European, Mexican, contemporary, American and early West Texas art. On the ground floor, you can find Western landscape paintings in addition to taxidermy animals typical of the Southwest (hello, Diamondback snakes). Upstairs, you’ll find rotating exhibits alongside the museum’s collection of European art.

This museum has about 2,000 retablos or small devotional paintings commonly depicting scenes of Catholic Church art—the second largest collection in the United States.

Located just outside the entrance of the El Paso Museum of History, the 3-D Digital Wall is worth looking at. The giant touchscreen gives users the chance to literally scroll through the city’s diverse history with their fingertips. See images of John F. Kennedy and other famous individuals who have come through town. Even if you’re not into history, this interactive display will keep you entertained.

If you can get over the macabre aspect of swinging by a graveyard, 52-acre Concordia Cemetery (concordiacemetery.org) is a noteworthy site. The cemetery is a history lesson and reflects El Paso’s diversity. Many notorious gunslingers rest here. Arguably the most famous of the bunch is John Wesley (Wes) Hardin. Hardin was a notorious Old West outlaw who allegedly claimed to have killed 40 men. His grave is surrounded by a fence to prevent visitors from digging up his body.

Outdoors El Paso is known as one of the only cities in Texas with mountains. And you can explore the area’s natural beauty at Franklin Mountains State Park (tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/ franklin-mountains). Hike, bike or rock climb on more than 100 miles of trails at the largest urban park in the country at just more than 26,000 acres within the limits of El Paso. Take in vistas of the mountains and natural flora and fauna when you’re just steps away from the bustling city. If you don’t feel up for exercise, you can just do a driving tour. 

MIND Taliesin West hosts rare photography exhibit

By Madison Rutherford

I

n 1939, 22-year-old photographer Pedro E. Guerrero drove from his home in Mesa to a nascent architecture school in Scottsdale to show his portfolio to a Midwestern architect who was new to the desert.

The architect was 72-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright and the school was Taliesin West, which also served as the prolific building designer’s studio and winter home. At the time, Guerrero was relatively unfamiliar with Wright’s work, but he was instantly captivated by Taliesin West’s rustic redwood rafters and sloping stone walls. Wright was similarly attracted to Guerrero’s photographs, View from the drafting room at Taliesin West, 1940 (Photo by Pedro E. Guerrero) and hired him on the spot to document his work. Guerrero went on to knew the way he was depicted in portraits become Wright’s chief photographer, captur- would define how people would perceive him ing some of the most iconic images ever taken and his work for decades to come. of the architect.

pher for about 20 years, so they worked very closely together and Pedro Guerrero grew up in Mesa so he also knew and understood the life here in the desert, which, as you know, can be very harsh and unforgiving,” says Pat Evans, the Foundation’s registrar.

Guerrero also photographed Taliesin West as it was being built, so he was intimately familiar with the buildings and the evolution of its structures from its infancy.

“Pedro Guerrero was here when both he and Taliesin West were very young and he said he found photographing the site both challenging and enchanting,” says Margo Stipe, the Foundation’s curator of collections. “At least some of that enchantment is clearly seen in these wonderful photographs that capture the rhythm and the rugged romanticism of these spaces and the landscape in the early years.”

Similarly, Wright believed natural light aided his work environment and played a major role in his design methods. “Wright’s vision for Taliesin West was of a simple, but sophisticated winter camp for his family and the Taliesin Fellowship,” Stipe says. “It was both primitive and eloquent, made up of angles and patterns created by stone, wood,

Eye on the Sky

New glass art panels adorn the Scottsdale Airport Aviation Business Center

By Lauren Wise

W

hen artist Martin Donlin began to study architectural stained glass in South Wales in the mid-‘80s, he never dreamed that 30 years later, he would be known for inspirational glass installations all over the world, from Germany and Kazakhstan to Michigan and Texas. He creates masterpieces on both a large and small scale, layering vibrant colors and images that draw in passersby, only to reveal intricate details and text reflecting the artwork’s environment upon closer examination.

“I thought that my future was in making stained glass for churches; I loved that symbolism,” Donlin says. Then over the years, his career quickly took off in another direction.

Donlin’s soaring, meta-aesthetic is embodied in things like his monumental piece at the Greater Manchester Police headquarters, a blue and white layered image piecing together portraits and text about Manchester and the history of policing, which climbs almost 70 feet up the wall of the main entrance; and the flowing wall of glass at Dallas Love Field Airport, which stretches almost 80 feet long and features the pioneering aviator for whom Love Field is named and a collage of native plant and bird life, plus poems relating to man’s desire to fly, words reminiscent of dream-like plane vapor trails connecting everything in the artwork’s “sky.”

From small sacred spaces to large public buildings, Donlin’s art is all about connecting a building’s architecture and the local history, and inviting visitors to do the same. In October 2018, Scottsdale Public Art unveiled a striking new installation by Donlin, who found the desert metropolis inspiring.

“Arizona was so appealing to me,” Donlin explains. “The landscape and the sunshine — we don’t have anything like it in the UK.” Installed at the Scottsdale Airport Aviation Business Center, the exhibit – which the artist titled “from Land and from Air” and “Sun and Moon” – features 30 digitally printed and sandblasted glass pieces, showcased on the first two levels of the building.

In the lobby, 15 glass panels surround the elevators, creating a feeling of “looking down” at the Arizona landscape. The panels

include topographical maps relating to Scottsdale and the surrounding desert from the last few centuries, imagery of plants and animal tracks, early Hohokam canal system maps, and swirling plane vapor trails. There is also poetry incorporated into the design

by Tohono O’odham Tribe member Ofelia Zepeda; Natalie Diaz, a member of the Mojave and Gila River tribes; and Richard Shelton, emeritus Regents Professor of English at the University of Arizona.

On the second level, “from Land and from Air” continues with a second set of 15 pieces of glass representing the perspective of the landscape as one is looking straight at it, on ground level.

“It showcases the McDowell Mountains and references the necessity — and scarcity — of rain,” Donlin says. “The transparent dots scattered across the glass are reminiscent of how one can see abstract colors through raindrops.”

On the top level, “Sun and Moon” is a single tall piece of antique stained glass, and emulates the feeling of one “looking at the heavens.” The only glass that is an actual window, it depicts two acid-etched moons and a sun. It was hand-cut and colored, and fired three to five times to achieve certain colors.

The art was fabricated at century-old Glasmalerei Peters Studios in Paderborn, Germany at a third- and fourth-generation family glass business. The process is painstaking — and that doesn’t include shipping the glass halfway across the world to the Aviation Business Center, which celebrated the installation as part of its grand opening on November 3.

Looking back on the design process and how much inspiration he found in the Arizona landscape, Donlin seems both joyful—and relieved — with “from Land and from Air” and “Sun and Moon.”

“Yesterday I flew in and saw the Grand Canyon at sunset,” he says, “and thought it was spectacular.” 

Bottles worth gifting, giving and sipping this season

By Alison Bailin Batz

I

t’s that time a year again – party time!

And whether you’re hosting or attending a party, adult beverages are almost always on the menu.

Here are some – each available at your local Total Wine or BevMo! – that will really make an impression. There’s a little bit of everything, by design, and each of them makes a perfect holiday gift.

Carlson Creek 2015 Syrah This wine, which is made locally in Willcox, Arizona, is aged nine months in used American oak barrels. It features perfect flavor notes for the holiday: vanilla, black cherry, cherry cola and candied cherries. It was just released, so it’s truly the latest and greatest from the Carlson family of winemakers (who live in Scottsdale part-time). $34

Glenfiddich Fire & Cane As with Carlson Creek’s syrah, this is a totally new release to the market, which ups the “wow” factor. With this offering, Glenfiddich shows a new side to its single malt – a peated whisky finished in South American rum barrels, which gives it a hefty dose of both smoke and sweetness, with hints of clear toffee on the nose. $49.99

Hennessy Master Blender’s Selection N°3 Hennessy continues to innovate the Cognac category with the introduction

of Master Blender’s Selection N°3, the latest in a unique series of limited edition releases.

This single-batch Cognac, which has notes of praline and even vanilla, will never again be replicated -- once it’s gone, it’s gone. Each bottle is individually numbered and signed by the blender himself, making it the ultimate personalized present this holiday season. $110

Veuve Clicquot Colorama In 1804 France, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin was left a widow – or "veuve" in French – at just 27. Although it was a time when women were relegated to living in the shadow of their husbands, Madame Clicquot went on to pioneer Champagne making and bottling, building one of the biggest beverage empires of all time in the process, Veuve Clicquot. For over 200 years, color has been a source of inspiration for the brand, so this year, they debuted a limited-edition bottle encased in a metallic tube inspired by an artist’s paint. It also keeps the Champagne chilled for up to an hour, so it’s useful, too! $69.99

The Walls 2015 Curiositas Do not let the quirky bottle design (which we love, by the way) fool you because this is a nearly perfectly nuanced, sophisticated, lush Cabernet Sauvignon. The story behind it is equally perfect, and a great vignette to tell while serving: The varietal was dreamt up based on an old philosopher’s quote that “curiosity is the

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2018

lust of the mind.” And so “lustful” were the winemakers to make a cabernet with no bounds that they tinkered and tinkered until Curiositas was born. $56

Gary Farrell Dulcette Port-Style Wine To celebrate the holiday season, this hugely popular brand based out of Sonoma is offering its first-ever dessert wine in Dulcette. It’s a perfect blend of zinfandel, syrah and cabernet that explodes with the flavors of dried blackberry, raisin and baking spices layered with underlying almond, dark chocolate and olive tapenade. $45

Johnnie Walker White Walker As they say in every episode of Game of Thrones, “winter is coming.” Capitalizing on this timing, not to mention the iconic status of the HBO mega-hit, Johnnie Walker has released a limited-edition Game of Thrones Scotch. It’s a blend of single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish, Scotland’s most Northern distilleries, and high in vanilla, red fruits and orchard fruits. And, of course, it’s certainly more approachable than a real white walker! $39.99

Champagne Pommery POP This wine has all the attributes of contemporary Champagne: It is fresh, round and full. But it fits in your hand with ease. Yes, Champagne Pommery has mini POP Champagne four-packs available in a wide variety of flavors – even sparkling rosé – that are about the most perfect adult stocking stuffer ever invented, not to mention great for girls’ get-togethers throughout the holiday season. $20 

A quick review of just some of Scottsdale Airport’s milestones and memories:  After centuries as untouched Sonoran Desert land, and for decades a place used for cattle grazing, the area now known as Scottsdale Airport saw its first “development” in 1942.  Southwest Airways, a civilian company funded by Hollywood investors that had a federal contract to

own, and also considered unincorporated land north of Thunderbird II – like the McDowell Mountains – an asset tied to Scottsdale’s tourism image and future growth opportunities. Scottsdale won, and annexed land that included the Seventh Day Adventists’ property in November 1962.  Realizing that the actual airfield and much of the surrounding land was excess to the needs for their school, Elder Daniel Butherus, president of the Arizona Conference of the Seventh Day Adventists, offered about 200 acres of airfield land to the City of Scottsdale.

and members of the Scottsdale Town Enrichment Program had been urging Scottsdale to open a municipal airport that would boost tourism and economic development, so the offer was readily accepted.

…continued from page 49 Desert Park (also called Cholla Park) was forced to close. As an equestrian-friendly park, it was eventually re-constituted when Horseman’s Park (now WestWorld) opened in 1987.  During the 1970s and early 1980s, airpark businesses were concentrated on the west side of the airport. In the late 1980s, especially with the opening of Price Club, Lou Grubb Ford and Schumacher European, airpark business development spread to the east side of Scottsdale Airport.  In 1989, the 24-foot bronze statue “One with the Eagle,” created by sculptor Pat Mathiesen, was erected on the Butherus Drive entry to the airport. It was re-installed on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Redfield/Thunderbird roads in 2011 at the southern entry to the Scottsdale Airport/Airpark.  Scottsdale Airport’s weight limit for landings was raised in 1995, and the terminal’s passenger area was expanded. These projects were completed just in time to accommodate some 250 aircraft/corporate jets flying in for the Valley’s first Super Bowl football game in February 1996.  The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency began operating at SDL in 2000 to process international flights.  In 2016, the City of Scottsdale opened its new, $5 million airport operations building.  Throughout its 51 years of operation, Scottsdale Airport has opened its doors to the public by hosting AirFairs, reunions of the Thunderbird Pilots Association, the Phoenix Air Races (in October 1975) and marathons (like the former Dial Corporate Challenge and the current Run the Runway).  The 1968-vintage Scottsdale Airport Terminal was torn down to make way for the new Aviation Business Center. When it opens this month, it will house the city’s aviation department, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office, Wings of Humanity, Civil Air Patrol, Volanti Restaurant and Lounge, Stearman Room and Thunderbird Room.  A focal point of the new Aviation Business Center is the Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial – an authentic, formerly-flown PT-17 Stearman aircraft, suspended as if in flight. It is painted blue and yellow as the Stearman assigned to Scottsdale’s World War II Thunderbird II Airfield aircraft had been, and will soar as a lasting tribute to the aviators and veterans who have contributed so much to Scottsdale history and community life. The memorial is a project funded and promoted by the nonprofit Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial, Inc., an all-volunteer group of area veterans, citizens and aviation enthusiasts. 

I

f you had to guess where to get one of the best breakfast burritos in North Scottsdale, an Italian deli probably wouldn’t be at the top of your list.

But Rinaldi’s, which has called the Scottsdale Promenade home for nearly 15 years, is best known for its breakfast.

Mornings at Rinaldi’s often observe serpentine lines of early risers eager to bite into a lightly toasted tortilla packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, gooey cheddar cheese, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes and a choice of fresh bacon, sausage, ham or chorizo.

The burritos sing with the deli’s delicious homemade salsa, which owner John Sayegh says is made with garden-fresh tomato, cilantro and onions.

“If I tell you any more, I’ll give away

my recipe,” he quips.

According to Sayegh, the burritos are the deli’s No. 1 item on the breakfast menu, which also boasts omelets, sandwiches and bagels. Carnivores will love the meat-centric Max Burro while vegetarians will relish the Easy Burro (egg, cheese and potatoes).

Sayegh was born and raised in the Bronx, a heritage that is not only reflected in the food, but the look and feel of Rinaldi’s. While one wall of the deli houses refrigerators containing every beverage you can think of, the opposite wall is lined with framed memorabilia from the Empire State — a signed Giants jersey, a black and white action shot of Joe DiMaggio circa 1941, and a collage dedicated to the firefighters who risked their lives during

and more. Sayegh recommends the roast beef, which is hand-sliced and made in-house. The hot pastrami sandwich is also a crowd-pleaser. Daily specials include brisket of beef, chicken parmesan, meatballs, shells stuffed with ricotta and baked ziti. He claims he’s never had a single complaint about any of his food.

This is easy to believe if you watch him make a meal — he layers meat and veggies with the precision and attentiveness of an engineer building a car.

Rinaldi’s also offers catering, featuring six-foot subs that contain 30 slices and 8.5 pounds of precisely sliced meat, which Sayegh says feeds about 20 people.

“No party is too small or too large for us,” he says.

His food speaks for itself, but Sayegh believes that’s only half the battle. He wants his customers to feel at home when they walk through the door.

“The No. 1 item that should be on an authentic deli menu is customer service,”

Sayegh says. “I have a personal relationship with every customer. I open up the doors at 7 a.m. If a customer’s knocking on my door at 6:30 and I’m ready to roll, I’ll open the door for them.” 

What’s Cooking

With JAN D’ATRI

Salmon ‘Wellies’ with Creamy Dill Sauce

W

ellington was always the elegant “signature dish” reserved for special occasions like weddings or a New Year’s Eve celebration. Beef or salmon Wellington with its beautiful puff pastry encasement was truly the fine-dining darling of the 1960s.

But take away the fête factor, and you have a fabulous weeknight or Sunday supper that turns a fresh piece of salmon into something really wonderful – especially if you give it a quick grill before enrobing it with dough. This recipe also included the ingredients for a classic duxelles – that magical blend of butter, garlic, shallot and finely chopped mushrooms. That’s the second layer of deliciousness. The third is a layer of fresh, tender baby spinach. Slice through the layers of delicate puff pastry and enjoy the show!

Salmon Wellies Ingredients: 4 pieces fresh salmon (about 4-5 oz.)

4 tablespoons olive oil 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed in refrigerator overnight) 2 cups fresh baby spinach 1 recipe for duxelles Salt and pepper to taste Egg wash (2 egg yolks plus 2 tablespoons

milk) Creamy dill sauce

For duxelles Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot (about 2-3 large) 1 large garlic clove, minced fine 1 pound white or cremini mushrooms, chopped very fine 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Directions: Drizzle each piece of salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat grill pan and grill salmon on both sides for about 2 minutes.

Remove skin and set aside.

Make duxelles. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, about 4-5 minutes. Cook until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper. Let cool.

To assemble: Cut puff pastry into 5-inch squares,

or large enough to cover the piece of salmon. Roll out a bit to thin out dough.

Lay a piece of salmon on dough. Spoon duxelles over the top of the salmon piece, covering the salmon entirely. (Duxelles recipe should be divided between four pieces of salmon.) Top with several layers of fresh baby spinach. Cover the salmon with puff pastry. Tuck in the sides and turn seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush egg wash over the dough. (For added touch, use a strip of dough to make decorative leaf cut outs for the top.)

Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Serve with dollop of creamy dill sauce on the side. Serves four. Watch my how-to video at jandatri.com/recipe/salmon-wellies/.

Creamy dill sauce Ingredients: 3/4 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill, crushed Directions: Mix sour cream, mustard, lemon juice and dill together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.  November 2018 Scottsdale Airpark News |

he clock strikes 12. A phantom slowly approaches. It is the ghost of holidays yet to come, and what he must show you is truly dire. The 20pound turkey, once golden, is burning.

The children, once calm, are racing around the dining table, hopped-up on candy canes. And the guestrooms, once tidy, are overflowing with in-laws, grandparents and cousins.

Come morning, you wake in a cold sweat but realize the holidays are still weeks away. And while you anxiously tick off the days on the calendar, Scottsdale’s tourism industry brings tidings of comfort and joy: We’re here to help.

The holidays are a stressful time, but much like Ebenezer Scrooge, you still have time to change your fate. You don’t live in Dickensian London. You live in Scottsdale, a city that’s home to 70 hotels and resorts.

So why bother adding to the anxiety of the holidays by playing host to your extended family?

More than 40 percent of Scottsdale’s 4.5 million domestic overnight visitors come to Scottsdale to visit friends and relatives, but one third stay overnight at their friend or relatives’ homes, according to Longwoods International. Just imagine if those visitors instead stayed overnight in Scottsdale’s luxe hotels and resorts during the hectic

wintertime.

In this scenario, everyone wins. You win by not having to juggle hosting relatives while also preparing a holiday feast. Your extended family wins by relaxing for a few days at a Scottsdale hotel or resort. Your fellow Scottsdale residents win because those tax dollars go back into the General Fund. And Scottsdale’s hospitality industry wins too.

That’s because Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day is a need period for Scottsdale’s tourism industry, when the region’s hotels and resorts have more beds than heads to fill them. Over the course of six years, Experience Scottsdale has sought to increase visitation during this need time by promoting the area as a holiday destination with our annual holiday campaign.

With our yuletide message, we’ve convinced travelers from New York, Chicago, Denver and more to spend their holidays in Scottsdale. And through our efforts, along with new holiday products and amenities being offered, occupancy at hotels and resorts has increased, on average, 15 percent in November and December.

Although the city may continue to see increased visitation during November and December, there are still rooms available for your family. And hotels and resorts throughout the city are more than eager to

give them a warm welcome.

But perhaps your fate is set in stone, and you will have family bunking in your guestrooms this month and next. Never fear. Scottsdale’s tourism industry has other ways to get those holiday guests out of the house and out of your hair.

On Experience Scottsdale’s website, HolidaysinScottsdale.com, we curate the area’s festive events, offers and more. You’ll find everything you need to keep your

Purchase tickets for a show at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, like It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas. Have them tour McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park’s holiday lights. Or send them off to Old Town Scottsdale to enjoy Scottsdazzle’s Gold Palette ArtWalk and Jingle Java Crawl.

Now climb out of bed, dear Scrooge, because the time before you is your own.

And happily, there’s still time to prepare for a stress-free holiday season with Scottsdale’s tourism industry on your side. 

Drafting the commercial lease letter of intent

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

T

he Letter of Intent (LOI), or its equivalent, is universally used to summarize the proposed economics as well as the basic terms and conditions of a commercial lease. While LOIs are typically non-binding, they are useful in identifying and clarifying important deal points and serve to launch meaningful negotiations. This article discusses things common to many LOIs which should be negotiated before proceeding to a formal lease agreement.

Signing entity. For tax and legal protection reasons, most businesses and professional practices are either incorporated or structured as a limited liability company (an LLC or PLLC). Therefore, the lease would be signed by the authorized representative of the legal entity.

Guarantees. Specify that the signing entity shall guarantee the lease (not you and your spouse, personally). Be aware a personal guarantee is a contingent liability.

Trade name. Identify the name of the business or professional practice that will appear on signage.

Address. Include the full address, including the suite number(s).

Size. Industrial and retail space is typically leased by the square foot (SF) and includes the thickness of the walls. Office space in buildings with common areas is leased by the rentable square foot (RSF), which is somewhat larger than the usable area (USF). Depending on the type of space being leased, and based on representations made by the listing agent or owner, I suggest referencing the SF, or both the RSF and the USF, in the LOI. Lease term. The initial lease term should be long enough to obtain maximum concessions and short enough to provide flexibility. The use of renewal options can be a wise way to achieve a longer term.

Renewal options. A renewal option gives the tenant the right, but not the obligation, to extend the lease for a period of time. I suggest establishing a not-toexceed rental rate for the renewal term(s), including escalations.

Rental rate. The rental rate being

offered should be based on the amount your business or professional practice can comfortably afford, not the landlord’s asking rate. Think of the asking rental rate as the equivalent of a vehicle’s sticker price – both are amounts only an uninformed or overly anxious person would pay.

Escalations. Most landlords seek periodic escalations in the rental rate. Escalations do not have to be annual. When they are required, strive for nominal increases and be mindful of your business’s ability to increase prices to customers, patients or clients.

Free rent period. Regardless of market conditions, I suggest requesting at least one month of free rent for every year of the initial lease term. Spreading it over the lease term may result in more free rent.

Base year operating expenses. Some lease types include the operating expenses of the building as part of the rent, and many times these expenses are tied to a base year. I suggest setting the base year as the year following the commencement date, and placing a cap on annual increases attributable to controllable expenses. The base year shall be automatically reset upon the exercise of any option. On newly constructed buildings, make certain the base year is identified as the year the building is fully assessed for property taxes.

Commencement date. This is the date a tenant is to begin paying rent, or the date free rent is applied.

Early occupancy date. I suggest requesting a two-week period prior to the commencement date at no charge in order to transition into the space. This period can be used to install communications and furniture.

Expiration date. This is the date the tenant no longer has the right to occupy the premises. Although most leases terminate on the expiration date, some provide for an automatic extension of the lease term in the event the tenant has not provided timely notice of its intent to vacate the premises on the expiration date (an “evergreen clause”).

Security deposit. Generally, security

64 | Scottsdale Airpark News November 2018

deposits are equal to the last month’s rental amount; however, be mindful they are not pre-paid rent. In the event a security deposit greater than one month’s rent is required, request a portion be applied to future rents.

Tenant improvement allowance. Stipulate an amount the landlord will contribute towards permanent improvements to the space with any unused amounts to be applied towards rents otherwise due.

Fixturization period. In the event the tenant is responsible for making improvements, be certain to negotiate a period free of any rental charges sufficient to complete the work. This should include adequate time to obtain all needed permits.

Parking. Specify the number of parking spaces required for your staff as well as invitees. If reserved parking comes at a cost, specify the amount you are agreeable to paying.

Warranties. Stipulate that the landlord shall warrant the HVAC, electrical, plumbing and roof, among other things, for the entire occupancy period, including any exercised option periods.

There are other terms, conditions and provisions that should be included in a LOI, including: the acceptance date, non-binding disclaimer, confidentiality provision, exclusive and permitted uses clause, signage rights, relocation provisions, first right to expand, prohibited co-tenants and uses, early termination provisions, late delivery penalties, death or disability provisions, transferability provisions, notices, most favored nation provisions and acknowledgement of your broker’s representation, to name just a few. 

Health care: Where do we go from here?

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

L

veloped and impoverished countries like Columbia, Morocco and Dominica.

We must look at the entire structure of health care in this country for possible solutions to this issue. The Affordable Care Act was a well-meaning but ultimately weak and watered-down patchwork of programs that did little to fix the overall problem, which can be summed up in one word: avarice. Some pharmaceutical companies are avaricious. Some providers (doctors and others) are avaricious. Some hospitals are avaricious. Some health care insurers are avaricious. Bad actors in each of these categories are avaricious enough that they drag down our entire health care system.

How do we change this shameful situation? Surprisingly, the answer is not “Medicare for All.” The answer is with the people. We can demand a system that reflects the best qualities of America and Americans, namely competition and compassion. Yes, we want to get ahead, but no, we don’t want to do it on the backs of our fellow countrymen. To cite one small example: If the pharmaceutical companies were required to compete for Medicare dollars on a bid basis, allowing the government to wield some bargaining power, then drug costs would go way down, but Big Pharma wouldn’t go away. Here are some suggestions everyone reading this article can implement on their own: Vote! Support only election candidates who are vocal and persuasive in backing major changes to the health care system.

Make this an issue that politicians can’t hide from.

Vote with your pocketbook. Work hard to ensure that you purchase insurance only from companies that are giving you the

et’s forget about liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican for a moment. Both sides agree – all sides agree – that health care in the United States is a failing enterprise. Despite spending the most per capita on health care of any country in the world, the U.S. ranks only 37th in the World Health Organization’s Ranking of the World’s Health Systems.

This is just shockingly wrong. Those two simple statistics indicate an immense gap between money being spent and care being provided. Where is that money going? Why aren’t we, the United States of America, the greatest country in the world, No. 1 in health care? What factors contribute to our declining life expectancy, which has dropped for the second year in a row?

Our public servants, the President, Congress and the Supreme Court should be ashamed of this health care disaster and should act immediately to fix it.

We are spending the most per capita and we have some of the finest medical schools in the world that are churning out highly qualified doctors and some of the best hospitals in the world. Yet compared with other developed countries, we lag behind.

See this excerpt from internationalinsurance.com/news/ranking-top-elevenhealthcare-systems-country.php, in which we rank last or near last in every category measured:

best possible value for your hard-earned dollars. Question unnecessary procedures and payments. Be your own best advocate, not just for your health care, but for the cost of your health care, because as the statistics above indicate, those two items (cost and care) are wildly out of whack.

Become active on the issue. If you are a senior, don’t just complain about the high cost of your medications. Write letters, join groups, talk with your friends and neighbors. You may not reap the rewards, but your children and grandchildren may benefit from changes you advocate for now.

Change is sometimes painful, sometimes difficult. But change is almost always good. Change is Mother Nature’s way. Our health care system needs change, badly. We are the ones who can change it.

NOVEMBER 2018 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers ARIES 3/21-4/19 The summer and early fall saga is still in orb at least until the 15th or so, not to mention the critical midterm election this month that is followed by the New Moon the next day (7th). It’s time to reinvent your goals. The sun sign of Scorpio together with moon in Taurus (associated with control and money) will have a strong and lasting influence this month on your resources and financial obligations, no matter what profession you are in. Planetary patterns in earth signs in the months ahead require a most conservative approach to all areas of your life.

TAURUS 4/20-5/20 Negotiations and a bit of diplomacy on your part is required as you step into early November. The second week is a favorable time to begin new relationships or redefine existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnerships come to the forefront. There is a need for someone to rely on for support or approval. Work on developing yourself in an area of work – make those contacts and don’t allow the unexpected to interfere with your plans.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 Those hard times are coming to an end this month. The first two weeks are a good time to reevaluate what really matters to you as far as work service and health. Redefine why you do what you do. You can cut corners. The third week of November is best for taking actions and following through on a particular goal.

Some delays are likely, as communication is slow the first half of the month.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 This month’s energy is a mix of idealism and emotional intensity that will seem to continue well into mid-month. Earth’s planetary qualities bring a sobering reality to your work world, and a restructuring physically, financially, culturally, socially and spiritually. Stay alert to the daily developments that have an influence on your job/ career. There’s a lot on your plate (not just turkey) this month – be sure to save room for family.

LEO 7/23-8/22 Those eclipses occurring in the past 18 months are still in orb, promoting you in your job/career, furthering personal growth and cementing a strong home base and the value of family. You can avoid some mistakes if you hold off on making any definite plans or expecting things to be approved before the 15th. The later part of the month is better for making progress.

eration, marking a time of personal retreat in a sense, something not necessarily true to your nature. With so many planets entering earth signs, this is an ideal time to think about all the attachments you may have to people and commitments that can be dragging you down. Watch your words this month; you may regret something said in haste. Travel may be difficult, delayed or canceled, so check your arrangements in advance.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 You work best in an atmosphere of organization and preparation. Early November’s aspects may not be in order. Be prepared to alter plans or expect some outside conflicts early on. Issues around health industries and services are on the front line this month. Be prepared for a number of restrictions and rules to be put in play, starting by the end of the month. Don’t worry – with a number of planets now entering the earth signs, you are being well supported by this new downto-earth philosophy that will emerge in the year ahead. Expect a more conservative and realistic progressive quality in your life.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 So many political changes taking place this month will have a lasting impact upon the kind of work or service you are involved in, directly or indirectly. Think ahead and push yourself to cultivate new friendships and group alliances. Saturn in your sign gives you responsibilities and restrictions that will pay off in their proper time. Connections can be made now and networking pays off; being part of a community and building a social network is important. Your ideas are original and progressive.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 Sun is in the area of personal and financial values. November always brings concern over bills, money earned and money spent.

You don’t have to get out the scissors and cut your credit cards, but you do have to sort out how much you think your time and energy is worth. Thinking of forming a partnership soon? Hold off until next month.

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Despite the crises and destructions of the past months, you are headed for some stability. You can anticipate new friends, contacts and new interests later in the month. You may have to face some unpleasant monetary matters concerning debts; you’ll be motivated to earn more money or cut some expenses.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21 You’ve had a productive year, even if it was just about personal growth and learning to trust your own judgments. Getting back in control was a main factor. The sun in your sign most of this month from the 1st to the 22nd may have you ready to put the past 12 months behind you and start a new cycle of values and personal goals with confidence. It’s a great month to do something new or take a risk. Next month you can move forward with gusto!

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Beginning in November, your early focus may be on travel for the holidays or some work-related short trips – if so, better make those arrangements before the 15th, when some cancellations or delays are apt to happen. For the next month or so, your attention turns outward away, from more personal matters that may have kept you home- or work-bound. Legal proceedings or litigations may have to be postponed until next month. The full moon toward the end of the month puts importance upon family.

There is no place like home for the holidays.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 November is primarily a period of regen-

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

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

First

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

Second

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

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

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

Third

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

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

What’s the cost? Zip. Nada. Zero.

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