Editor’s Note

F

rom fitness-incentive programs at work to cancer awareness, October has become a traditional time to focus on wellness. This month in the Airpark, we consider health opportunities ranging from world-class spas to gunmanship. Stick with us on that second one.

• Getting a little behind in your colorectal screenings? If a needle sounds less scary than a colonoscopy – and the work that goes before – there’s a new FDA-approved (April 2016) blood test that that can detect markers associated with colon cancer. On page 32, ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North in the Airpark explains how it might work for you.

• Airpark business leaders are getting out of the office and spending more time on physical activities. They say it helps them network and problem solve. With October temperatures, there’s no better time to follow their lead. Learn more on page 36.

• Medical marijuana has been legal in Arizona for 6 years now. Guess where you’ll find one of the state’s highest concentrations of cardholders? Yes, it’s the affluent Scottsdale Airpark. And now, Harvest, Inc. has opened one of the largest, most-upscale dispensaries in the Roberta Peterson state to help those in need of pain relief. Learn Editor In Chief where on page 40.

Also this month, we introduce two new features. We know you do more than just work in the Airpark. So welcome to “After 5 in the Airpark,” a look at some of the best places in the district to celebrate quitting time – along with some of the top Happy Hour offerings.

For October, we’re visiting V Lounge at Eddie V’s in Scottsdale Quarter.

They’re shaking things up on page 15.

Then there’s “Airpark After Hours,” profiling some of the outstanding opportunities to relax, recharge, shop or play without driving across town.

First up for that spotlight is Well & Being Spa at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.

Ever try a workout reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil? Learn more on page 22.

We all relax in different ways. One very upscale option in the Airpark is the luxuriously appointed Titanium Lounge, the Scottsdale Gun Club’s exclusive inner sanctum. It even requires a retinal scan for entry. Set your sights on page 26.

Inside, the accoutrements resemble a country-club lounge, where you can choose to shoot a gun – or perhaps pool. It’s part of a new trend across the country, called the “Guntry Club.” And they say it all started right here.

We’re not surprised! Have a fun and fit October, Robbie

GoDaddy unveils edgy ad for presidential debates

Airpark-based GoDaddy Inc. unveiled edgy, topical humor in new advertising for the televised presidential debates, expected to draw an audience in excess of 80 million.

Instead of going for jokes about individual candidates, trustworthiness or partisan economic plans in what has become one of the most-talked about campaigns in U.S.

history, GoDaddy puts its own twist on political satire.

“We know humor works here in the U.S., and we’re going to have some fun this election season,” said GoDaddy CMO Barb Rechterman.

The campaign, co-sponsored by Verisign, the .COM registry, runs through Election Day.

Randy Nussbaum, Greg Gillis and Dean Dinner

3 from Scottsdale firm on Best in America lawyer list

Three Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner, P.C. lawyers -- Randy Nussbaum, Greg Gillis and Dean Dinner -- were selected by peers for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America 2017.

Nussbaum was selected in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law, Bankruptcy, Commercial Litigation and Construction Law. Gillis was selected in Commercial Litigation and Construction Law. Dinner was chosen in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law and Bankruptcy Litigation.

Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. For more than three decades, it has earned respect of the profession, the media and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere.

ViaWest Group, in a joint venture with Contrarian Capital Management of Greenwich, Connecticut, has sold Raintree Corporate Center II, a single-tenant office building occupied by global asset manager Vanguard Group, for $32.1 million.

The building was purchased along with its twin, multi-tenant Raintree Corporate Center I, in December 2015 on Auction. com.

The buyer is a private investor in a 1031 exchange. ViaWest will continue to manage the property for new ownership, along with managing the multi-tenant building for the ViaWest-Contrarian joint venture. Both the buyer and seller were represented by Jim Fijan and Will Mast of CBRE in Phoenix.

Allen Edmonds shoes opens in Kierland Commons

Premium men’s shoe manufacturer Allen Edmonds is opening its first Scottsdale retail shop, in Kierland Commons, 7030 E. Greenway Parkway.

It marks the Scottsdale -area debut for Allen Edmonds, with headquarters in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

“Allen Edmonds’ offering of high-quality, handcrafted products is a perfect fit for the fashionable gentlemen of the Scottsdale area,” said Paul Grangaard, president and CEO of Allen Edmonds. “We are thrilled to be expanding our retail locations to the Scottsdale area, and can think of no better place than a premier shopping destination such as Kierland Commons.”

Phase I Exterior Redesign West Facade.

ViaWest and Contrarian’s investment strategy was to immediately sell the single-tenant building to a stableyield oriented buyer, while leasing up the multi-tenant building, which was roughly 71% occupied when purchased and is now more 82% leased only 9 months later.

“We think this is a great deal for both sides: We continue to own Raintree I as a lease-up play, in a submarket with rapidly increasing rents, while the buyer gets a Class-A building occupied by one of the world’s most respected companies,” said Gary Linhart, Founding Partner of ViaWest Group.

Village Health Clubs & Spas are at Gainey Village and DC Ranch Village in Scottsdale, Camelback Village in Phoenix and Ocotillo Village in Chandler.

Enjoy a mini massage and product samples at the on-site day spa and salon, and savor light snacks and refreshments at the café. Learn about programs and social activities offered.

The Village will demonstrate how to track and improve fitness with MYZONE, a heart-rate monitoring system that accurately provides real-time feedback on heart rate, calories and effort levels during physical activity to keep you motivated and engaged. The MZ-3 builtin memory means that guests can track their training at the Village and at home.

By wearing a MYZONE belt at MYZONE classes at the Village, information will be streamed in real-time.

Compete with friends and other Village members throughout the year. It can be paired with the MYZONE app on your phone, which can show you all of your workout data, results, monitor your activity calendar and keep a picture food diary.

Those who sign up for a Village Health Club & Spas membership during the open-house weekend Nov. 5-6 will receive a free MYZONE belt ($149.99 value) as a welcome gift. Any Village member who refers a friend that signs up for membership over the open house weekend will receive a free MYZONE belt for the referral, as well.

Work days end better with

Eddie's Hours

es, you can find some greasy fries and sliders right after work just about anywhere. And specials on beer abound all over Scottsdale.

But you’re in the Airpark, so you don’t have to settle for ordinary Happy Hour. You can choose the V Lounge, where “Eddie’s Hours” offer world-class options every day of the year.

The V Lounge is just a left turn off the entrance to Eddie V’s restaurant, which helps anchor Scottsdale Quarter’s north side. It specializes in New Orleans flavors nightly, and that translates into not just Nawlinsflavored seafood and steak, but music and cocktails, too.

Music is live every night of the week. And, contrary to common remarks, it isn’t always jazz.

Happy Hour in season is 4-7 nightly, Tuesday through Saturday. On Sunday and Monday nights, it’s “all-night Happy Hour,” from 4-10 p.m. (Note: During off-season, which in Scottsdale means “summer,” the Happy Hour nights more than double in number. That’s supposed to end the Tuesday after Labor Day, but the more liberal schedule was still running this year as of late September.)

Live entertainment is 6 to 10 p.m., Sunday through Friday nights, and 7-11, Saturday only.

IN THE AIRPARK

On the musical menu, some of the regulars include Al Ortiz. “When he isn’t playing at the V Lounge, he records and tours with Stevie Nicks," says Eddie V's sales manager Sheena Hickey.

“Dan Lovelock plays newer, more eclectic sounds, and Greg D’Aria leans toward R&B and soft jazz, more John Mayer like,” explains Hickey.

“I feel it’s a good mix, much more than just southern-classic style. And the V Lounge is never listed as a jazz lounge,” she points out.

In the dining room, the live musicians beyond the bar serve up pleasant background sounds, while in the lounge it’s more center stage.

“People sometimes dance in the lounge, and it’s highly encouraged,” Hickey says.

Other star performers in the lounge include mixologists shaking up perfect martinis and masters of the raw bar.

During “Eddie’s Hours,” you can order “select” wine and martinis for $7 and bar food for discounted prices.

There’s no slumming with the house choices, though – for instance, the gin in that $7 martini is Bombay, the pour is generous, and you can request blue cheese olives.

Signature food choices on the specialhours menu include the Point Judith Calamari. “It’s a unique prep and a huge portion,” offers Hickey.

And, she adds, “the jumbo lump crab cake is big enough for two.” It’s true. It just depends on the “two” eating it.

From the martinis, to the sliders, the raw bar and the signature two-tiered seafood tower, Happy Hour at Eddie V's is a memorable experience.

The key: There are no fillers, Hickey explains. “They mix a chive sauce with a small layer of panko and then shape it in a mold. It can even be made gluten free.”

If you aren’t worried about gluten, the always-worth-eating hot bread and butter served with the appetizers certainly helps turn them into a bountiful meal.

Other signature dishes on the Happy Hour menu include the wide array of oysters, with several types served on the half shell and others cooked in signature preparations, such as Angels on Horseback and Carpetbagger style. 

Oysters Rockefeller aren’t on the menu, but they’ll fix them if you ask. And sushi has been an off-menu specialty at times. Even though they “aren’t currently serving sushi,” just ask when you make the reservation. One favorite is Spicy Tuna, Lobster and Wagyu Roll.

“It’s never been on the menu but it’s always popular,” Eddie V's sales manager Sheena Hickey says with a wink.

If you’re ready for dinner (which you can order in the lounge), two off-menu favorites are the 16-ounce bone-in filet or the 34-ounce Tomahawk cut. “It looks like a dinosaur bone,” says Hickey.

Tips:

• From 1,144 sf +/- to 4,224 sf +/• T-shade parking for plane

My special-occasion favorite is on the menu, even though the price isn’t. It’s the Seafood Tower, with oysters of your choice on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, lump crabmeat and a whole lobster artfully arranged on a two-tiered presentation on ice, along with every appropriate sauce. My birthday’s just two days away, so I’m saving room.

One more note: Tell them about the special day when you reserve a lounge table, and they’ll decorate it with rose petals and a card from the staff. And they just might present their signature dessert – flaming Bananas Foster, a more-thanworthy diet killer.

When the Airpark’s elite feel the urge for something special, they hop in their aircraft and fly away for that special meal . . . at another airport

f you ever overhear a couple of folks talking about getting a $100 hamburger around Scottsdale Airpark, it’s a pretty good bet they’re private pilots planning a short hop to a general-aviation airport to have lunch.

“It’s more like the $500 hamburger now,” says Chuck Lapmardo, owner of Elite Flight Training & Rentals at Scottsdale Airport. “We just had a client who took a Cirrus Turbo up to Sedona for breakfast.”

Lapmardo says the Cirrus Turbo rents for $225 per hour, plus fuel, which costs more than $4 per gallon. Another client, he adds, recently flew his dad up to Winslow so they could eat and take a picture in Standin’ on the Corner Park.

Scottsdale, Deer Valley and Chandler pilots love their breakfasts and lunches and love to swap information about good fly-in cafes around Arizona.

The Southwest-style Mesa Grill in Sedona is under the direction of chef Mercer Mohr, a James Beard award winner. In Winslow, the classic Turquoise Room at LaPosada Hotel is always a favorite.

Here’s a roundup of other favorite fly-in cafes in Arizona.

• Hangar Cafe, Chandler Municipal • Bent Prop Saloon & Cookery, Eloy Municipal • Steak and Stone of Mesa, Falcon Field • Deer Valley Airport Restaurant, Phoenix Deer Valley • Kingman Airport Cafe, Kingman • Crosswinds Cafe, Payson • Susie’s Skyway Restaurant, Ernest A. Love Field, Prescott

mind, try the spicy Oysters and Eggs.

Pilots who want the literal $100 hamburger experience can order the Cheddar Bacon Burger with Avocado or the Buffalo “Smashed” Burger for lunch. Kick off an elegant dinner with chef Mercer Mohr’s Duck Lettuce Wraps, followed by Colorado Red Trout or Steak Mercer, a tenderloin layered with triple-cream brie and house-smoked brisket hash.

Mohr, who received a James Beard Award after opening the Tsar Nicoulai Caviar Cafe in San Francisco, also operates Creekside American Bistro and Creekside Coffee in Sedona.

Although known more for its motoring and railroading tradition, Winslow also is an historic destination for pilots and still a strategic refueling stop. Many Arizona pilots head to WinslowL i n d b e rg h R e g i o n a l Airport just to appreciate aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh’s design. The airport features intersecting runways, so there is never more than a 45degree crosswind.

In the late 1920s, Lindbergh chose Winslow among 12 refueling stops for Transcontinental Air Transport. The airport was used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II and was later served commercially by TWA and Frontier.

The U.S. Forest Service currently stations firefighting air tankers at the airfield.

When Wiseman Aviation took over as the fixed-base operator in 2007, the company spruced up the original terminal and hangar, retaining their historic character. Winslow’s High Desert Fly-in attracts private pilots from all over the country every summer.

Pilots hungry for home-cooked Mexican food head directly to E&O Kitchen, which is just off the runway. Others take a longer hike for the lively atmosphere of Bojo’s Grill & Sports Club, where they fill up on Buffalo hot wings, burgers and patty melts.

The ultimate dining destination in Winslow is the Turquoise Room at the La Posada Hotel.

Although born in England, chef John Sharpe is acclaimed for his Southwest style, which he honed over many years in

Los Angeles. For breakfast, try The Corn Maiden’s Delight, a satisfying bowl of warm polenta topped with two poached eggs, fire roasted tomatoes, roasted corn salsa, fresh spinach, and jalapeno jack cheese. Be sure to order a side of the Spicy Green Chile Breakfast Potatoes. Sharpe also channels Fred Harvey and the Harvey Girls with classic baked egg dishes and thin pancakes covered with a warm orange marmalade sauce.

For lunch, the Fred Harvey French Dip adds $11 to the fuel bill, as does the Box Car Burger. If you’re feeling more adventurous, try one of the seasonal Southwest specials.

Dinner is an always changing but always gourmet experience, as you’d expect of a James Beard-nominated chef.  Helmed by chef John Sharpe, the Turquoise Room within the historic La Posada Hotel in Winslow is a magnet for Arizona and California pilots who want to take the $100 hamburger experience to the next level.

cottsdale is famous nationwide as home to world-class, upscale spas, and some of the best are found right in the Greater Airpark area.

Among the early comers and always near the top of that list is the signature spa at the Fairmont Princess, just northwest of the runways.

Currently carrying the nameplate of the Well & Being Spa, the Princess facility has gone by several names, and was formerly probably best known as Well Stream Spa, named in the top 5 or 10 in the nation more than once.

While amenities have been added in the latest incarnation, it’s still the luxurious, comfortable spa you came to love if you ever visited.

could feel.

The new branding (not terribly new; it was introduced in 2013) emphasizes health and wellness as opposed to simple pampering. So it’s a place where business execs are equally comfortable alongside Ladies Who Lunch (or Ladies Who Spa.) Food takes center stage in the former atrium, once home to as many birds as patrons enjoying lunch in bento boxes. During the remodel, this sunny space was covered, trading the outdoor water feature and fowl for – ahh! – air conditioning. Still a sunny atrium, it now does at least triple duty as a highlight of the 3-level facility.

There’s a cooktop for cooking demonstrations, making it an excellent center for group functions. Spa lunch continues to be served here, but it’s also home to a new aerial Pilates

and yoga studio.

Classes in the space include aerial hammocks.

“It looks scary to some people at first but, with the leaders’ help, it is mastered pretty quickly,” explains Christie Martinez, a manager at Well & Being.

“It makes the experience less Zen-like and a little more Cirque du Soleil. Groups love it. The latter portion of the class is still the quiet, more introspective experience,” she assures.

Other offerings more about workout include TRX, where you become the weight; Surf Set, featuring surf boards on springs complete with a backscreen showing waves and the ocean for a desert surfing experience (as seen on Shark Tank); a glow-in-the-dark hula hoop workout; and the crank cycle, for a spinning class that focuses more on the upper body.

“The experience is adventure and fun, so it doesn’t even feel like a workout,” says Martinez.

As Treatment Manager, Martinez probably most enjoys explaining the adventurous selection of body work modalities on the spa menu.

“I like to encourage trying our signature treatments, which are always authentically local.” A favorite is the Havasupi, two hours of a little bit of everything.

The Purification Ritual is a coffee scrub with blood orange, wild lime scalp oil, and mud in a very detoxifying wrap, 90 minutes.

The Hacienda is wild lime and cornmeal in a body scrub. “It includes a great mojito

facial and scalp massage while the oils and ingredients all work into your skin," says Martinez.

Thai massage, performed on a mat on the floor, authentically includes wearing free-flowing clothes and intense stretching.

Well & Being also introduced more Eastern medicine into the menu through staff expert Dr. Edward Lamadrid, including acupressure, acupuncture and, of course, cupping, which gained so much attention at the Rio Olympics very recently.

Martinez says: “Or as people say, ‘That’s what they did to Michael Phelps!’

Aromatherapy incorporated in the spa is from Body Bliss in Sedona.

“The owner is a botanist, and this is true and local aromatherapy. A favorite feature of the spa is the chance to create a personally designed aromatherapy blend,” Martinez adds.

“You go through ‘stories’ to identify your needs, by answering a series of questions about how you feel.”

In my experience, they asked only one question: My birthday. Yes, including year.

OK, there was a second question that followed. Did I want it customized to my birth year, or my birthday this year?

Always one for moving forward (and afraid that the other method might result in a sour infant oatmeal scent), I went with the present. I was surprised but delighted by the final concoction, much heavier in the citrus category than normal for me. Perhaps it was influenced by the past near-decade as a resident in citrus-centric Scottsdale.

When you visit, be sure to choose a special treatment, but then allow plenty of private time to enjoy the eucalyptus-filled inhalation room, the rooftop pool with a view of the McDowells, and the Waterfall massage area. 

erry Schmidt seems to have hit the bull’s-eye with leather, dark wood and classic Western accouterments that abound the Titanium Lounge, Scottsdale Gun Club’s exclusive VIP room.

His sidekick, Ron Kennedy, unlocks the door to the lounge by placing his eye to a high-tech, retina-scan device that grants members, who pay a $5,000 initiation fee plus $200 a month for the privilege, instant access to the secret lair.

“You’ll notice over here are copies of the Constitution and the Declaration,” Kennedy says of the American history on the wall. “And the firearms, swords and pistols along that wall are all from different war eras — some come from the Civil War, the Wild West, Vietnam, some come from modern infantry.”

From the cigar humidor near the entryway, Schmidt’s vision of the lounge as a cattle baron’s library is unmistakable.

The club’s co-founder has a pool table, chess table, high-definition television, fireplaces and conference tables.

Kennedy, general manager of the club, has seen the lounge’s concept imitated many times by other indoor shooting ranges.

Recent photo spreads in the New York Times, the Washington Post and Forbes have all shown variations of the same high-backed leather chairs and October 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News | 27

Scottsdale Gun Club's exclusive Titanium Lounge gives a nod to the Old West.

Terry Schmidt is co-founder of Scottsdale Gun Club.

dark-wood paneling in articles heralding the arrival of the “guntry club,” a new style of gun range — er, “shooting destination” — that resembles the traditional country club, only with guns instead of golf as the primary leisure activity.

Today, at least a dozen such luxury gun clubs are thriving throughout the United States, including the Centennial Gun Club in Centennial, Colorado; Elite Shooting Sports in Manassas, Virginia; the Frisco Gun Club in Frisco, Texas; Athena Gun Club in Houston; Lock & Load in Miami (where Lebron James is a member); and the Strip Gun Club in Las Vegas.

Titanium Lounge has been part of Scottsdale Gun Club since the $8.2 million facility opened in 2004, making it, in effect, guntry before guntry was cool.

“When we started, there was nobody else in the country doing this,” says Kennedy. “And up until a few years ago, we were one of the largest in the country. Since then, there’s been some big mega clubs and what they call ‘guntry clubs’ that have opened up around the country. But a lot of them are modeled on the success we’ve had here over the past 12 years.”

SGC does have one thing going for it that other luxury gun clubs lack: Arizona’s less-restrictive gun laws, coupled with a lingering Wild West identity that closely links guns with the state’s frontier heritage.

Another is its courtship with modern-day Annie Oakleys. The Gun Club actively attempts to draw a younger, female clientele, a demographic that, surprisingly to some, is responding favorably.

For several years running, SGC has remained a top-ranked

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

Arizona tourist attraction on travel websites, and its location in Scottsdale Airpark makes it a popular meeting destination for business executives, for whom guns are rapidly becoming the new golf.

“It’s the wild, wild West here,” says Erica Mauk, marketing assistant at SGC, who confirms that the facility draw a robust tourist business. “Everyone comes out here and expects to see this flat desert with cowboys running around. And in a sense, that’s kind of how it is, because we do have the lenient gun laws and we are allowed to do stuff like shoot the machine guns.”

Restrictions in Arizona are less invasive than in most of the country,” Kennedy confirms.

“It’s one of the few bastions where you are still able to buy a firearm with a high-capacity magazine or shoot a machine gun or get training out in the desert and actually do long-range rifle shooting and machine-gun adventures,” he says.

That freedom comes with its costs. A 2012 study by the Washington, D.C.-based Violence Policy Center found that Arizonans are more likely to die from guns than car crashes, looking at 2009 figures that compared 856 deaths caused by guns to 809 caused by motor vehicles. Subsequent Ron Kennedy (left), Scottsdale Gun Club reports from state departments of general manager, and transportation and health services Terry Schmidt, the from 2009 to 2012 have shown club's co-founder, in that gun-related deaths continue the Titanium Lounge. to outstrip vehicle-related deaths in Arizona. Often guns and cars are interrelated in fatalities here: On the morning of this visit to Scottsdale Gun Club, news reports tell of a mother of three who was shot to death on State Route 51 in an incident that police initially tie to road rage.

Nevertheless, Arizona’s gunfriendly culture has been good for its tourism business.

“Especially if people are coming from a part of the country or another part of the world where these kinds of things are not allowed,” Kennedy adds with a

smile. “It really is a little bit of the wild, wild West.

“It’s an environment where a lot of people get to do things they wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else, except in the movies.”

‘Guntry’ for everybody

As it turns out, Kennedy is not a fan of the “guntry club” tag, mainly because it implies a kind of elitism that he says doesn’t really exist at his facility.

“The name Scottsdale Gun Club, by itself, brings to mind certain misnomers,” he says.

“The word ‘club’ implies membership — and we do offer membership here, which provides huge benefits,” he notes, citing that basic membership at SGC comes with perks like 10 percent discounts on ammo and even free machine-gun rentals on your birthday.

“However, if you don’t want to become a member, you can come in here any time and get on the range for about 15 bucks,” he says.

Kennedy says the “Scottsdale” part of the name also conjures a swanky price tag. “‘Scottsdale’ automatically brings to people’s minds the idea that it might be more expensive,” he says. “But we actually have the lowest prices in town. Handgun rentals are $15, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns are 15 bucks, and machine-gun rentals start at about $65.”

The one part of the company’s name that is not the least bit misleading is “gun.”

SGC has more than 50 handguns to choose from, as well as a dozen shotguns. Also on hand are the popular AK-47, Ruger Bull Target rifle and 30 types of machine guns, including the iconic IMI Uzi.

All, as Kennedy points out, are available for anyone to try out on its range by simply signing a one-page waiver and shelling out $15 to $65 for an hour on one of its 32 shooting lanes.

But just who rents all that high-powered weaponry is another misperception that SGC is trying to change. Most people still assume that shooting ranges are mainly frequented by older white men — the “good ol’ boys” network of Elmer Fuddtypes commonly associated with hunting lodges and shooting ranges.

But, 37 percent of today’s target shooters are female, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearmsindustry trade association, and many are

younger than ever before: The average age of shooters on the nation’s ranges is 33.

To attract this new demographic, SGC offers packages especially targeted to women, like its “Relax & Reload.” It combines range time with two 9mm handgun rentals and a massage, facial and pedicure at nearby Spa Lamar.

Bi-monthly “Ladies for Liberty” gunsafety classes and a “Date Night” special that combines range time for two with a dinner at K O’Donnell’s Sports Grill, just across the parking lot, are gaining popularity.

“With the Date Night package, you can come in here with your significant other, do some shooting and then go over to K O’s for a nice dinner and some wine,” Kennedy says.

Making colon-cancer screening

more tolerable

Tim Terrill is president of ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North.

I

t’s the word that freezes everyone right in their tracks: Colonoscopy.

It evokes such a disquieting, repulsive image. There’s the prep. There’s the act of performing it. Fortunately, the person receiving it is partially or completely out while it’s being done. It knocks out about three days of a person’s life, although there is no denying that by doing it, it might add time to a person’s life if any issue is caught early.

Not crazy about colonoscopy? Well, the other accepted method of screening for colorectal cancer is the stool sample.

The subject gets to do that one personally, without benefit of anesthesia.

Neither makes the specter of turning 50 pretty.

What if a simple blood test, that requires no special preparation, not even dietary, could replace the two commonly accepted colorectal screening methods that cause so many people to turn up their noses? Where

Airpark lab offers blood tests as alternative to colonoscopies

By Lee Shappell Photos courtesy of ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North needles and blood are the only caveats for the squeamish? That might be preferable to handling something nasty or having a probe stuck in a place where you don’t really want it.

Relief may be on the horizon. In April, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved what amounts to a colorectal-cancer screen via a blood draw, and among the first labs in Arizona certified to do it is ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North in the Airpark area.

“We haven’t done that many yet,” says Tim Terrill, owner of ARCpoint in Scottsdale. “It’s new. The word’s not out. We are working with the national Colon Cancer Alliance to do some educational events.

“Lots of people just don’t get the screening done. They don’t want to do a colonoscopy. They don’t want to deal with a take-home stool test. So this is just another tool to help more people get screened.”

Technically, the Epi proColon is a molecular test that detects a methylated Septin

9 DNA biomarker in the blood, a gene that is increased in colorectal cancer. If the test comes back positive, the patient is urged to see a physician and get a traditional colonoscopy.

The FDA is saying that the Epi proColon blood test is for patients who are unwilling or unable to be screened by recommended methods. At this point, it is not intended as a substitute for patients who are willing to undergo the routine screening methods.

But that may be only a matter of time.

The medical community has been slow to warm to the test, which has roughly 18 percent false-positive results. However, among the false positives, about half have revealed markers for other colon issues, Terrill says.

Not many insurance companies are yet onboard for reimbursement, either, he acknowledges.

“In general, there is a lack of education,” Terrill says. “Certainly the physicians will

want to see the numbers on the clinical trials and understand what the accuracy and specificity of the test is. We are aware that some insurance carriers are looking at it. I think it’s a matter of time until more do, and that process does take some time.

“But if we can get more people screened and pick up more issues earlier, it’s good for the patient and good for the carriers, as

well. I expect that the number will expand.”

Terrill has followed a circuitous path to lab owner. He grew up on a farm in the Red River Valley, where Texas meets Oklahoma, and worked in fields before he got to first grade. In high school, when a neighboring farmer had an accident and was unable to work, Terrill leased the farm, worked it, and earned money that covered his college expenses that his scholarship to Oklahoma University did not cover.

He’s trained as an engineer and has extensive experience in real estate, having built 6 million square feet of buildings. He helped the University of Nevada-Las Vegas create an entertainment engineering curriculum, to design sets and create productions for shows on the Strip. He’s worked with Arizona State University’s engineering and master’s real estate programs.

He said he’d traveled roughly 45 weeks a year with his last real estate endeavor and was ready to get off the road and enjoy his two grandchildren in the Valley. He was looking to try something new when the ARCpoint franchise became available.

It has proved to be the challenge he needed, he says.

According to Terrill, his lab is the only one in the state certified

by Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Arizona Department of Health Services as a SHARP lab: Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program. It also is approved by Medicare.

“I knew we would have some interesting days here,” says Terrill, who purchased the franchise and opened the Airpark lab in April 2015. “We do any blood draw known to man, so we have thousands of tests on our list.”

For the Epi proColon test, a physician usually will ask the patient to deny a colonoscopy and deny a stool sample before writing a prescription for the blood test, Terrill says.

“There are conditions associated with the FDA approval and we are fully compliant with all conditions of approval,” he says.

34 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

However, in Arizona, an individual may walk into a lab and order his own test without a physician’s prescription. The Epi proColon costs about $339 on a cash-pay basis, or roughly 10% of a colonoscopy. Results take four to six days typically, Terrill says, and are given to the patient in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Walk into ARCpoint, 15455 N. Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite C-16, and it doesn’t look like a very exciting place. It’s pretty barren. A blood-draw chair. Vials. Gloves. It is, after all, a place that performs several thousand types of tests for a wide variety of purposes using blood, urine, feces, hair and body fluids.

But if those walls could talk, it might lead to creation of “Blood Draw-Scottsdale” for television, based on Terrill’s experiences.

“We have all kinds of situations arise because of the variety of things we do,” Terrill says. “You can never tell what’s going to walk through the door.”

There was the pregnant woman who requested paternity tests of two men. Neither was her husband. And, and it turned out, neither was the father.

“Usually the alleged father pays for the test,” Terrill says. “You know something is up when the lady pays for it.”

Occasionally, lab techs get what’s known as a “hot sample,” according to Terrill, although there are precautions in place mitigate that possibility.

“If it’s not between 90 and 100 degrees, it’s not your sample,” he says. “We’ll get some that are 104, 119 degrees. Someone’s hiding some substance on their body and maybe two things are mixed to create the appearance of urine. It creates an exothermic reaction.

So they’ll try to put that in the cup instead of their sample if they have something to hide.”

And there was a couple getting feces and urine thrown on their house, who suspected it was done by people they knew who had been there as guests. ARCpoint’s mobile division, on call 24/7, was dispatched to take DNA samples left in the house to compare with samples thrown on it to confirm it.

Terrill’s crew has been called out to mortuaries for specimen collections to analyze for insurance claims.

They’ve gone to restaurants on insurance claims when someone found something in the food, to pick up a sample under a legal chain of custody and test it. Usually it is DNA testing to see where it came from, but it could be testing for biological issues, viruses or bacteria, as well, he says. ARCpoint is called out for drug or alcohol testing post-accident.

The lab has been asked to test dead people who want to leave a legacy for the family. Genetic testing can reveal not only propensity for diseases and conditions but also ancestry. DNA tests performed at ARCpoint can determine tribal ancestry necessary for admittance to some Native American tribes or ancestry for green cards.

A woman who had been feeling ill came into the lab for an unknown-chemical test, a hair test. Results showed high metabolism of aluminum. She was a baker. She had to get rid of her aluminum pots and pans and switch antiperspirants, because hers had aluminum in it. She also underwent a process with a physician to remove excess metal from her body. She got back to normal, Terrill says.

The lab is not a doctor’s office and can’t diagnose, Terrill says, but it can make patients aware of the multitude of tests available and let the patient decide whether to pursue testing.

For example, a man was having difficulty breathing and had been to his physician. He’d had allergy tests.

But he hadn’t had food-sensitivity tests, which can take days or weeks to yield useful information. In this case, the food-allergy test results were negative, but the foodsensitivity results showed about 90 food items with which he had issues.

“Around here,” Terrill says, “there is no such thing as a typical day.”  October 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News |

Good Sports Airpark business leaders are getting physical

E

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

ntrepreneur Magazine says that getting or staying involved in sports and other physical activities helps business leaders network, problem solve, set goals outside of just the boardroom, and learn to let go of control.

Several Airpark business leaders make a case for this.

Scott Hanson expanded his network by being physical. As a former sportscaster, graduate of Valley Leadership and 30-year high school sports official, HMA Public Relations president Hanson thought he knew nearly everyone in town.

But, when the Arizona Diamondbacks superfan signed up for his first D-backs Fantasy Camp in 2008, he learned that nothing brings people together like living out

36 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

Matt Dana’s ofďŹ ce at Quarles & Brady has a Western theme. He grew up on a farm surrounded by horses and still is comfortable in that environment.

Scott Hanson participated in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Fantasy Camp, where he could live his big-league dreams.

their Big League baseball dreams.

“Imagine getting drafted, signing a contract, and reporting to Spring Training as the newest member of the Arizona Diamondbacks,” says Hanson, a three-time MVP of the annual week-long camp.

“Imagine walking into the locker room and seeing your name on your uniform hanging in your locker. Imagine spending a week among such stars as Mark Grace, Luis Gonzalez, Reggie Sanders and other D-backs greats. Now imagine doing it with 80 business and community leaders.”

According to Hanson, who will participate in his 10th season at camp in January, he’s developed relationships with former players, many of whom are now business leaders. He also considers himself to be friends with high-ranking executives like fellow fantasy camp attendees Air Force Col. Brent Vosseller, Kevin Daniels and Grant Woods. But he’s brought in members of his own network to do the same.

“Sliding into someone at home plate and laughing about it later is oftentimes a little more fun than donning a nametag and standing around at yet another networking event,” Hanson says. “So, my advice to those looking to expand their network in an authentic way is to play ball—literally.”

Here are some other Airpark athletes:

Problem Solving: Matt Dana

A fifth-generation Arizonan, Airparkbased Quarles & Brady partner Matt Dana actually grew up on a farm surrounded by horses.

“ An avid trail rider, he was introduced to mule packing about 15 years ago and it changed his life.

When packing and riding in the vast backcountry of Arizona, Dana makes his way across hundreds of miles of rugged terrain without an assistant, Wi-Fi or fancy business suit.

“It’s just you out there, listening to the clicking of the mule’s hooves and completely immersing yourself in nature,” Dana says. “I always tell my kids to think of one problem at the beginning of a long ride because I guarantee your mind will clear and you will have solved it by the time the ride is complete.”

Having a clear mind and being able to creatively problem-solve came in handy for Dana a few years ago, when Quarles & Brady announced he would be joining the team. He opened the firm’s first Scottsdale office.

“I had a packing trip planned for the same week of the announcement, not think-

ing it would cause the stir that it did,” says Dana, whose phone lost complete service just as he learned that nearly a dozen local media outlets wanted to speak with him about his move to Quarles.

Undaunted, Dana let his team back to the trailers, turning the horse and mule camp into a mobile law office and conducting interviews when service allowed from a camp stool. …continues on page 38 October 2016 Scottsdale Airpark News |

The Zerorez team (from left): co-founders Nathan Perrins and Casey Ashdown, controller Justin Hardy, Kristin Boston and general manager Ben Hulme.

“I did interviews all day in my wranglers and chaps, with my mule tied to a tree, just waiting for me to hop back on and get back to the ride,” Dana says.

Goal Setting: Kristin Boston

When Zerorez of Phoenix’s newly hired executive leader and marketing person Kristin Boston moved back to her native Scottsdale after working in the television and media industry in Hollywood, she was ready to make her mark.

It took a lot of planning.

“While working in the entertainment industry, I had the chance to do some print and promotional modeling here and there,” says Boston, noting both were side gigs that required dedication to nutrition and working out.

“Now I try to make health and fitness a priority because it helps me perform better at my job. A few years ago while working at iheartmedia my friends introduced me to Urban Garage Gym. The owner, Mitch, informed me about an upcoming fitness competition. Sounded scary.”

The mother of two signed up anyway.

“In marketing, you have to set small goals for yourself each day—as well as for your team—and hold yourself accountable no matter what,” Boston says.

“To me, setting the long-term goal to be a part of this fitness competition and short-term goals focused on nutrition, meal preparation, exercise and training—and to hold myself accountable—ultimately helped me make the biggest move of my career.”

A client at the time, Zerorez of Phoenix cheered Boston on as she worked toward

her first competition. Impressed by her dedication, they eventually wooed her to join the business. She oversees the business’ marketing, advertising, sponsorship and even volunteer program.

Letting Go: Ben Danner

There are two things Washington Federal business banking manager Ben Danner is exceptionally good at: baseball and banking.

A college baseball pitcher, it was Danner’s role to be in control at all times—of the ball, the team and even the flow of the game.

Then, over his 30-plus years in the banking industry, he has similarly had to have control, most recently launching a statewide business banking initiative for Washington Federal and putting together a headline-making $10 million economic development project for Lux Air Jet Centers at Phoenix-Goodyear Airport.

Ben Danner goes “surf fishing” to relieve the stress of his banking job.

But, even Danner admits, sometimes he has to find a way to let go—of a deal that didn’t work out, of a game you lost, of the stress of a high-powered career.

His release? Surf fishing.

“Yes, it’s an actual thing,” Danner says. “Rather than sit on a boat and fish all day, I started visiting Rocky Point and walking right into the waves—sort of my version of fly fishing. The great thing is that there are unlimited varieties of fish, and you never really know what you might catch.

Let go of all expectations, to be sure.”

When you are making million-dollar decisions most days, letting go and taking a wave or two can be cathartic.

“Watching the sun rise, seeing dolphin swim by, as well as the many variety of birds also adds to the experience,” Danner says. 

A New High Airpark medical-marijuana dispensary among state’s largest and fanciest in keeping with its well-to-do patients

By Lee Shappell

A

t first glance, it’s not unlike the vast majority of upscale businesses in Scottsdale.

Attention to detail in the décor reflects its affluent clientele, right down to the custom millwork.

What sets this Airpark business apart, though, is that it is a house of cannabis, the chemical in marijuana that makes people feel good—or at least better, in the case of a medical-marijuana dispensary like this.

Harvest Inc. opened its latest dispensary at 15190 N. Hayden Road, at Raintree Drive, in the Airpark on Sept. 14.

It is believed to be the fourth dispensary in what the Arizona Department of Health Services calls the north Scottsdale Community Health Analysis Area (CHAA).

Information on the department’s website shows three. The department refused to confirm updated numbers, citing privacy laws.

The concentration of cardholders in north Scottsdale was among the highest

40 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

in the state in 2014 maps from the department, which refused to provide updated information.

That a robust medical-marijuana market exists in a wealthy area is no coincidence, according to Steve White, CEO of Harvest Inc., which also operates a dispensary in Tempe.

“Arizona’s medical-marijuana program currently is not structured to allow people with low income to participate,’’ White says.

“Prices are above what should be charged simply to gain access to a medication that is not covered by insurance.

“As a result of that, medical-marijuana patients tend to be of higher income levels.

And as we know, Scottsdale is one of the wealthier cities in Arizona. It is a highly concentrated area for patients, for sure.”

So it was a no-brainer for Harvest to come to the Airpark.

“We have a business model that is consistent with Scottsdale,” White says. “We believe strongly that a very nice storefront

is important.

“The finishes are nice. All of the millwork inside the store is custom. We designed every inch of this space with the customer in mind.”

The building is a former bank. Not only is it Harvest’s most upscale dispensary, White says, it also is its largest at 6,800 square feet. Refinements from its initial facility are unmistakable.

“One of the things we don’t love about our Tempe location is that when patients walk in, they can see a lot of the back-ofhouse functions,” White says. “We were careful in our new dispensary to ensure that, no matter where you are in the facility, you have a good sight line. This facility is our most upscale. It is our nicest and also our safest, for patients and for back-of-thehouse functions.”

The new Airpark facility might be a glimpse into the future of the medicalmarijuana industry, which has grown exponentially since Arizona voters ap-

marijuana now is very high. At the time we opened, it was pretty close to 50-50.

“We’re able to have a larger facility now than probably we would have had in 2013.”

And having it in Scottsdale reflects progress, as well.

“It is true that the Scottsdale City Council very carefully vetted our application, and I can’t characterize their attitude as welcoming,” White says. “But they by and large were objective about the use and about the facility.”

Harvest’s Airpark license was transferred from another location, in eastern Arizona, which is permissible under state rules. Harvest never operated in Springerproved the law in 2010.

frowns on patients smoking the product.

“We never encourage people to smoke anything,” White says.

Instead, cannabis is available in salves, balms, capsules, tinctures, ingestible oils, vaporization and more traditional edibles.

Perhaps another sign of softening attitudes in a traditionally conservative state is that Proposition 205 made it onto the Arizona ballot in the November General Election. The recreational marijuana law would allow those 21 and older to possess and privately use as much as 1 ounce of marijuana and to grow as many as six plants at home. Proceeds from a 15 percent retail sales tax would go to education and public health.

Where would those who don’t grow their own purchase it? From licensed retailers. Who will the licensed retailers be?

State officials say that currently licensed medical-marijuana dispensers will have the first opportunity to land a retail license if the measure carries.

As criticism grows that a pot-dealing monopoly would be created, there is a mad scramble to land the 31 medical-marijuana licenses to be granted by the state in October, less than a month before the election, in the hope that it could lead to a retail-license windfall if 205 passes. 

Scottsdale’s bridges are rich in art and history

By Joan Fudala

• In Scottsdale’s pioneer days – after founding in 1888 – horse-and-buggy travelers had to go miles out of their way to avoid bridge-less canals. Among the first spans to cross the Arizona Canal was a “swaying footbridge” in the vicinity of today’s Scottsdale Waterfront development.

• Scottsdale’s early settlers benefited from bridges over the Salt River in their travels to/from Tempe, for the closest

• Before Scottsdale incorporated in 1951, the town didn’t have much infrastructure, like paved streets, street lights or bridges. Often, property owners or non-profit groups raised funds to pave streets or build bridges. One such privately-funded bridge spanned the Arizona Canal, built by the Paradise Valley Trails Association, especially for horseback riders. Among its chief

There is the notable lack of water, for one thing.

Yet Scottsdale dispels that myth with a variety of canal and wash crossings that are as historic and artistic as they are functional.

The city also has built pedestrian bridges over major traffic arteries that connect buildings and keep people out of the heat.

Consider these examples of bridges in the Scottsdale area:

Today, within yards of the old Rawhide bridge, “re currents,” a Scottsdale Public Art installation bridge, crosses the wash at the entrance to Silverstone. Merge Conceptual Design’s Frank Diehnelt and Claudia Reisenberger were the artists who created “re currents.”

Butters brings successful formula to Airpark Kathy Syregelas Bitsiaras and her brother Ted Syregelas operate the new Butters restaurant in the Airpark area.

By keeping it small and consistent, restaurant builds a loyal following

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Photos by Will Powers

C

hris Syregelas knows a good thing when he sees it.

A Chicago native, Syregelas watched his family find success in the restaurant business in and around his hometown, including the bustling corner of Rush and Division streets.

His family started Butterfields in Illinois and, when a family member retired in Scottsdale, they brought it here. That expanded to Butters Pancakes and Cafe, a favorite of actresses, actors and members of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The restaurant recently opened a second shop in Scottsdale Airpark, at Raintree and Northsight.

“It was a good location,” says Syregelas, who also owns Butterfield’s Pancake It is Hopdoddy, not “hip daddy.” “Hop” is from the hops in beer. “Doddy” is a nickname for the Black Angus cow in Scotland.

House and Restaurant in Scottsdale. “It’s killing it, numbers wise. It way surpassed what (the original) Butters did when it first opened.

“We’ve been asked probably five to 10 times a month to franchise or open a restaurant somewhere in the United States or internationally. It’s an easy opportunity that we could have taken advantage of, but we don’t want to do that.”

48 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

Syregelas fears that it may dilute the market, like many other restaurants have done. Limiting the business to three restaurants, Syregelas finds Butters busy each morning, but the wait goes by quickly because of the efficiency of the staff. The price point is low. Omelets start at $9.50, the signature pancakes at $6.75.

“Our formula for success? We don’t mess around,” Syregelas says. “We manage our stores very tightly.”

Anybody can make eggs, pancakes or omelets if they’re given enough time.

Butters’ staff can make those dishes consistently great, 600 to 1,000 times a day under pressure, with a 6- to 8-minute delivery time, he says.

“That’s where we shine,” he says.

“These fancy restaurants have a great dish. You know, whatever is hip or it’s something really cool, really funky. Taste it, and it’ll be great. But if you come back with family, friends or business colleagues, it may not be the same.

“It’s easy to do one person at a time and it’s really hard to flood a kitchen with parties of 12, 16 or 20 and pump out a good product. We really have dedicated staff. We live and breathe this.

This is all we do.”

He’s determined to help fellow local businesses, too. Syregelas buys eggs solely from Hickman’s Family Farms in Buckeye, and purchases food from Shamrock Farms. His coffee is provided

by Passport Coffee & Tea in the Airpark.

“The family eats at the restaurant two times a week,” he says. “We establish relationships with our purveyors, and, given our attention to detail, we tell them what we expect from them.” …continues on page 50

Butters’ diners expect a lot, too. Recent visitors include Kristen Stewart (“Twilight”), Scottsdale native Chelsea Kane (“Baby Daddy”) and the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have bragged about the restaurant on TV specials.

“We build our company one customer at a time,” he says. “We rely on that customer to tell another about our business.

It’s organic growth. That is sustaining and long lasting.

‘I don’t go to restaurants that have not been in existence long. I want five to 10 years of history behind that, with consistent quality. I’m not attracted to flashes-in-thepan, cool concepts.”

Syregelas’ career has come full circle.

As a child working in Chicago at his dad’s restaurant, he would give change to baseball legend Steve Stone.

“He realized that was me,” he says.

“We’ve been feeding for 40 years, from Chicago to here. We became friends. That’s the kind of relationship we’re looking for.

We want customers to dine with us forever.

“We want to feed them. We care about them. That’s how we run this business.”  Butters Pancakes and Café 14795 N. Northsight Blvd.

Business self-insurance models can save money on health care costs

A

sizes.

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc. s 2017 approaches, continued rising health-insurance costs are top of mind for businesses of all

Many owners and decision makers believe that they have no choice but to pay more premium each year for traditional insurance plans, and typically for less coverage. Difficult decisions may include compromising coverage or reducing staff to offset the many years of premium increases.

The good news is that business owners do have another option.

Many can partially self insure and still meet Affordable Care Act mandates, provide the quality care employees need and reduce overall health-care costs.

“Businesses with five or fewer employees are eligible for partially self-funding,” according to Ryan Osterhaus, district manager of National General Insurance.

Larger companies and governments have been self insuring for decades. Partially self insuring is a relatively new trend among small- and mid-size companies.

This has been spurred by overwhelming cost increases, federal regulations and a

health-care system that is difficult and daunting to navigate.

Before diving into the solution, let’s clarify the health-care law’s requirements in a simple and summarized format.

Businesses with 50-plus employees must offer a plan with Minimum Essential Coverage or pay a per-employee penalty.

These same 50-plus businesses must also offer coverage that is a Minimum Value Plan or pay a penalty for each employee who receives an ACA Exchange subsidy. Finally, these 50-plus businesses must file IRS Forms 1094 and 1095 or pay high penalties.

Individuals and families with no health insurance in 2016 must pay a penalty of 2.5% of household income to a maximum of $2,085. Individual and family health insurance will become more difficult to purchase in 2017. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees that offer good health insurance will be at a competitive advantage. Those that do not may have difficulty hiring and retaining employees.

Must present ad at time of purchase.

“If designed correctly, a health plan built on a self-insurance model can cost less, reduce workers’ compensation costs and give employees quality benefits, thus providing a competitive edge in attracting a good workforce,” advises Mike Hoffman of Arizona Benefit Plans.

Dave Berg of Redirect Health states that a well-designed partial self-insurance model should include these three components:

Everyday care that most employees need: Many of today’s traditional healthinsurance plans offer stripped-down, bare-bones benefits that do not cover the services that most people use most of the time. An effective partially self-insured plan should include primary and injury care, rehabilitation and chiropractic care, labs, immunizations, generic medications and preventive services at little or no outof-pocket cost.

Stop-loss insurance: To supplement the partially self-insured plan, companies purchase stop-loss insurance to cover the most expensive health care, such as hospitalization and specialist care, and to ensure that the business meets Minimum Value Plan requirements.

Streamlined care delivery: Consider hiring an organization to manage the care delivery and logistics process and eliminate the waste, administration and overpricing rampant in today’s health-care system.

A self-insurance model allows many small- and medium-size businesses to retain and keep the best talent while competing with the bigger businesses that have more power and influence to control costs.

Business owners interested in exploring partial self-insurance solutions can contact their agent or contact me for an explanation on how it works, how to benefit and how to get started.  Paul Breslau is president of Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc. Contact him at 602-692-6832 or Paul@HRaz.com.

By Thomas K. Brueckner, CLTC

A

to do over the latter half of the summer.

For more than a year now, we’ve heard that the Fed has seen improvements in the economy, and that additional interest-rate hikes would finally be coming.

Yet not only have those hikes been postponed, the deteriorating economic data of the summer now makes it likely that more stimulus may be needed to prevent a major recession or a major pullback in the markets.

For savers, negative rates are a disaster.

Your mattress doesn’t charge you to store your funds, so if the bank begins to do so, your mattress looks all that much more attractive by comparison.

Countries that encourage their citizens to hoard cash are engaging in the worst form of self-defeating policies. First among these is a

t this writing, no less than eleven G-20 nations’ central banks are holding their key interest rates in negative territory.

Incredibly, there are now more than $8 trillion in negative-yielding bonds in the world, according to Investopedia. Central banks apply negative interest rates to their deposits as a monetary policy tool to discourage banks from depositing their excess cash with those central banks, forcing them to keep it in the economy, thus aiding in the fight against deflation—or so the theory goes.

In the U.S., there’s been much speculation as to the options facing our own Federal Reserve, should the global economy once again deteriorate as it has seemingly begun

lack of liquidity within the key institutions of society, i.e. banks, pension funds and other investment accounts.

Remember that it was a Liquidity Crisis in March of 2009 that caused Ben Bernanke, Sheila Bair and Hank Paulson to gather the heads of the major banks and brokerage houses and explain to them their intention to “liquefy” their coffers with digitallycreated currency.

Think about how widespread and systemic the consequences of this misguided policy prescription could become: Every payday in America, contributions are made into 401(k) plans from salary deductions.

These deductions flow primarily into mutual funds, many of which contain bonds of varying duration and type.

financialfundamentals The prospectuses that tie the hands of the managers of these funds require them to hold a certain percentage in the treasury notes of various AAA-rated countries. When these government-bond interest rates are at historic lows, as they are today, or even at negative levels in the countries mentioned below, the retirements of people the world over become chronically underfunded. In particular, public and private pension funds are impacted, requiring management to take more risks on the equities side of their holdings in an attempt to make up for the lack of yield on the fixed-income side.

And when government bonds are so grossly unattractive, corporate bonds take their place, with companies rushing to issue ever greater amounts of debt, borrowing voraciously to fund stock buybacks.

The 11 countries whose 2-year treasury yields are currently negative include Japan (-0.24%), Germany (-0.64%), France (-0.58%), Italy (-0.3%), the Netherlands (-0.58%), Belgium (-0.55%), Sweden (-0.59%), Spain (-0.11%), Austria (-0.55%), Switzerland (only in an attempt to devalue its currency and remain competitive with the Eurozone,

-0.94%), and Denmark (-0.47%).

When a country with as strong and wellmanaged an economy as Switzerland finds itself forced to engage in unprecedented policies to remain currency-competitive within the neighborhood of nations, its monetary sovereignty has been undermined by the foolishness of its peer group, to the harm of its own citizenry.

When that neighborhood of nations persists with such recklessness because central planners are both out of bullets and out of ideas, they precipitate distortions throughout the economy, both at the corporate and individual level.

In a race to the bottom, retirees who shouldn’t be taking as much risk need to make up for that lack of yield by overexposing themselves to equities.  Thomas K. Brueckner, CLTC, is president/CEO of Strategic Asset Conservation in Scottsdale.

HAVE A CLEAN

Q: Any recommendations for cleaning and storing Halloween costumes?

A: Never store a costume, or any garment for that matter, without cleaning it first. Dirty garments tend to attract insects and bugs. If you’re still unsure stop by one of our Prestige Cleaners locations if you have questions about the instructions or the costume itself. We’ll be happy to take a look at it and let you know if you can safely clean it at home or if it requires professional cleaning. Once it’s clean, store it in a clean, cool, dry, and dark location.

Estoppel certificates and SNDA agreements

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

M

any commercial leases contain provisions that require tenants to sign Estoppel Certificates and/or SNDA agreements. These generally come into play when the property is being sold or financed.

Here’s a brief explanation of what these terms mean: Estoppel Certificates: The purpose of an estoppel certificate is to have the tenant verify certain aspects of the lease. In my opinion, a properly prepared “estoppel” should contain, at a minimum, the following: date of the lease, name of the entity entering into the lease, trade name of the business, address of the property (including suite number), size of the leased space, commencement and expiration dates, current monthly rent (including any operating expense pass-through amounts), rental schedule, amount of the security deposit, whether there are any uncured defaults or unfulfilled obligations (such as monies owed to the tenant for improvements), if any rent has been prepaid, if future free rent is due, details of any exclusive or permitted uses as well as co-tenancy provisions, any termination rights, details of any options to renew and/or rights to purchase the property, and the identification of any guarantors. In addition, a copy of the signed lease agreement and all amendments should be attached as exhibits.

Of note is that when a tenant signs an estoppel that tenant is then ‘stopped’ from denying that what is said in the certificate is a fact, even if it turns out that one or more of the representations were incorrect. Therefore, pay careful attention to the contents of the document and write in any amounts, terms or conditions that deviate from the signed lease agreement or amendments.

SNDA agreements: A subordination, non-disturbance and attornment (SNDA) agreement is three agreements in one docu-

58 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

ment. The “subordination” portion says the lease will become junior to the contemplated lien being placed on the property. The “nondisturbance” portion permits the lease to remain in force so long as the tenant is not in default. This is critical in the event the tenant is making expensive improvements to the premises. The “attornment” portion creates a contractual bond between the tenant and lender saying that in the event of a foreclosure the tenant will recognize

the mortgagee as the landlord and make all payments due under the lease to that party.

Tenants should also be aware that many leases address when the tenant must sign and return an estoppel certificate and/or SNDA agreement, and that a failure to do so constitutes a default. Therefore, I strongly urge all tenants to discuss these subjects with their legal advisors before signing a lease to ensure that they understand the meanings and their responsibility to review and sign the documents in a timely manner.  Stephen A.

Liability protection or no liability protection?

That is the question

By Howard J. Weiss, Shareholder, Nussbaum, Gillis & Dinner, P.C.

L

egal entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited partnerships (LPs), generally are formed for two purposes: liability protection and tax considerations.

Liability protection, however, often is the primary consideration for individuals seeking to protect themselves against personal liability in the event of a lawsuit.

For example, when purchasing investment property (e.g. an apartment complex), it

is prudent to take ownership of the real estate in an entity, rather than personally, to protect yourself against legal claims from the tenants. In such circumstances, having an entity own the property creates a layer of insulation between you and the tenants to shield you from such claims.

In some instances, however, the use of an entity may not give you the liability protection that you expect or need. In fact, some entities may give you no personal

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2016

liability protection at all. That’s right, I said no personal liability protection at all. This is sometimes the case when you are a licensed professional and the Arizona statutes or the administrative regulations governing your profession require a specific type of entity under which your professional license may be held.

For example, the Arizona statutes allow a broker to employ real estate salespersons and brokers who hold their license in an entity, but only if that entity is a professional corporation (P.C.) or professional limited liability company (P.L.L.C.) because a licensed individual rendering professional services through a P.C. or P.L.L.C. is still personally liable for their actions. Under Arizona statutes, “(a) shareholder of a professional corporation is personally and fully liable and accountable for any negligent or wrongful act or misconduct committed by the shareholder . . . while rendering professional services on behalf of the professional corporation to the person for whom professional services are rendered.” The Arizona statutes also provide that “[e]ach member, manager or employee performing professional services shall remain personally liable for any results of the negligent or wrongful acts, omissions or misconduct committed by him or by any person under his direct supervision and control while performing professional services on behalf of the limited liability company.” These professional entities will not provide you with

liability protection for your actions as a licensed real estate salesperson or broker despite what you may have heard to the contrary.

In addition, under Arizona law, ownership of at least 51% of the professional corporation must be owned by individuals licensed in Arizona to render the professional services described in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, unless a greater or lesser percentage is required by the applicable licensing authority. Therefore, if you are engaged in a licensed profession in Arizona, you must not only determine whether there are any specific requirements regarding the type of entity under which you can conduct your business, but you must also determine whether there are any restrictions on ownership by non-licensed individuals.

In those instances where there is no personal liability protection, the decision on whether to form an entity will be based primarily upon tax considerations. In all instances, however, speak with your accountant or C.P.A. to determine the potential tax advantages or disadvantages of holding your license in a specific type of entity. Choosing the correct form of entity is an important decision that will have both legal and tax implications. Take your time, do your homework, and consult with a professional to guide you through the process.  Howard J. Weiss is a shareholder at the firm.

Fit as a Fiddle Harmonize for better health

By Jen Smith

T

hink of someone you consider to be healthy.

You might think of someone who works out regularly. Does marathons or triathlons.

Words like six pack, ripped, toned, may come to mind. Maybe healthy means cutting out carbs, or going organic or avoiding sugar and dairy.

On the flip side, we might consider unhealthy people and use words like couch potato, slug, and describe them as always stuffing their faces, sporting a spare tire or needing to shed a few.

When we think healthy, we mostly think of diet and exercise. We can easily limit health to the physical realm.

But health is much more than observed behaviors, the foods we consume, the activities in which we engage, or the shape of our body.

The word originates from old Germanic/ English/Norse meaning “wholeness” – being sound of mind, body, spirit and soul. Extending far beyond physical aspects, healthy encompasses happiness, prosperity, satisfaction, joy and safety. It is embracing the goodness of life so that this wellness permeates our entire being in the world.

Just like diet and exercise, this type of health requires discipline and training.

Feeding our souls, focusing our minds and strengthening our spirits are ways of harmonizing all parts of being in accord with our physical selves to empower our abilities in all areas, personal and professional.

In our hyper-connected, always-on world, those interior parts of ourselves can be forgotten, malnourished and undeveloped if we don’t find and make time to pay attention.

Line of Sight has been committed to helping people create better lives for themselves, their families and their organizations for more than a decade. So we were especially excited when a local Scottsdale firm asked us to partner with them to bring a series of workshops dedicated to these oftenoverlooked areas.

Brian Seligmiller and Nader Kiarang of MiMutual Mortgage invited us to their Chauncey Lane office to brainstorm ideas.

The result was The Real Life, a six-part series focused on creating richer, more fulfilling personal and professional lives for those who attended.

But this was to be no death by PPT or information-overload hour.

Each 60-minute session was to be structured to give participants time and space to tap into inner wisdom, to identify areas of challenge and opportunity, and to choose bold new paths forward.

We’re now about halfway through.

In July, we began with a session on Work-Life Balance. We followed up with Stress Management in August, when we practiced Mindfulness, and September was all about Time Management, but this was no traditional time management workshop.

In October, the focus will be on Family and Relationships, followed by Career and

Business Planning in November, and then a December wrap-up about Moving into Action in 2017.

At each of these six sessions, we take time to learn new skills that can be practiced at home and at work that help you to quiet the mind, to gain clarity about purpose, to prioritize when everything seems to be happening at once, to set goals and move toward them more effectively, and to own your life and create the future you want beginning with action in the present.

If you’re curious, email or call for more information.

Not to worry if you’ve missed the first sessions. We are starting enrollment for 2017.

Just because you’re not sick doesn’t mean you’re healthy. If you have a feeling that something is missing, or something could be better, it’s time for a tune-up, time to harmonize all parts of your being – body, soul, mind, and spirit.

Make sure all are getting the attention and care they need and deserve. From this place of wholeness, you will discover new vistas of opportunity and joy.

Your life will sing in tune with the universe. Like a finely-tuned Stradivarius, you’ll be fit as a fiddle and ready to go.  Line of Sight is a Scottsdale-based coaching and consulting firm. Schedule a risk-free discovery session by emailing jen@mylineofsight.com or by calling 480-518-7241.

Thoroughly research moving companies to avoid headaches

By Rod Dennis

I

t might be instructive for homeowners who are moving soon—locally or nationally—to rent the 1988 film “Moving,” starring the late comedian Richard Pryor as civil engineer Arlo Pear.

When Arlo loses his job after a corporate merger, he must sell his house and move with his wife and daughter 2,000 miles from small-town New Jersey to Boise, Idaho.

Doing no research, they hire movers. After getting bad vibes, they pull the plug and go with another company.

To their surprise, the movers from the first company show up at the Pears’ house and reveal they now work for the second

company! And when the family arrives at its new home, which has been stripped of nearly everything except the walls, their misery is compounded by the fact that their furniture hasn’t arrived. The movers had made an unscheduled stop in New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

Now, it’s unlikely that you’re going to experience the nightmare endured by the Arlos but there are alarming stories out there. You’ll want to do plenty of research before selecting the company you’re going to trust with your valuable artwork, delicate dishware, expensive furniture and family heirlooms.

physical toll a self-move will take on your merry band of amateurs.

By now, I hope you’re convinced that the only way to go is with reputable professionals with plenty of experience and a track record of delivering on their promises.

Moving is stressful enough, so you’ll want to minimize anything that’s going to raise your blood pressure.

So how do you find a good mover? Start with friends and family who have moved recently. Ask for recommendations and find out the other companies they considered and why they chose the one they did. Check with the Better Business Bureau. Go on Facebook to read comments from customers. Also check testimonials on Angie’s List, Yelp, Google Places and MovingScam.com.

It’s also a good idea to do an online search pairing the company’s name with the word “complaints” to find any blog posts about bad customer experiences.

Be leery of movers that: Don’t offer an onsite inspection and give you an estimate over the phone. These estimates are usually too good to be true.

Demand cash or a large deposit before the move.

Don’t provide a written estimate.

Have a website that doesn’t include a local address and no information about their registration or insurance. And when you call, the person on the other line answers “Movers” instead of giving the name of the company.

Say they will determine the charges after loading.

Arrive on moving day in a rental truck rather than a company-owned or marked fleet truck.

Reputable moving companies will visit your home and provide an estimate.

It should clearly describe, in writing, all charges for services the mover will perform.

Make sure the estimate is signed by the mover. Don’t accept verbal estimates.

The order for service is a list of all the services the mover will perform and shows the dates your household goods will be picked up and delivered.

Be thorough when interviewing potential movers. Ask them how long has the company

BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY EVENT BEFORE YOUR SWEATER GOES OUT OF STYLE

been in the moving business, if it does background checks on employees who do the moving, if it hires day-labor or temporary help, if the company will transfer the property to another company or crew during the move, if the company guarantees delivery on the date you want (or need), and if the mover has a dispute-settlement program.

After you’ve hired a mover, be sure the company on moving day brings a bill of lading, which is a receipt for your belongings and a contract between you and the mover. Do not sign it if there’s anything in there you don’t understand.

Be sure it brings an order for service, which is a document that authorizes the carrier to transport your household items from one location to another.

Finally, make sure it brings an inventory list, which is a receipt showing each item and its condition prior to the move.  Rod Dennis is vice president of mortgage lending for Guaranteed Rate. Reach him at 480-695-0733 or rod.denzte.com.

OCTOBER Business Horoscopes

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

ARIES 3/21-4/20: It may not be “your” business as usual. Expect interactions with others to be “theirs” orientated.
