Ask Angie

Your divorce and family law expert.

may/june 2007 volume 25, No. 5

By Angela Hallier The Hallier Law Firm

Q: I am getting a divorce and just found out my Husband has gambled away most of our joint savings without my knowledge. Will I be compensated?

A: Y es. You will likely receive more assets than your Husband in your property division to make up for one-half of what he spent.

(One-half of the money he spent was “yours” and one-half was “his” under community property law principals.) In Arizona, the court can consider “excessive or abnormal expenditures, as well as the destruction, concealment or fraudulent disposition of community assets” when dividing the community estate.

Such expenditures are globally referred to as “waste.” If there are not enough other community assets to compensate you for your share of the waste, you will be awarded a money judgment against your spouse. Findings of waste can be based on a spouse damaging or losing community property, making significant withdrawals from a retirement or other account with no accounting for the expenditures, or spending on an extra-marital affair or illegal drugs. A decrease in the value of a community asset (like a house or a business), if caused by a spouse’s destruction, fraud, or “abnormal” actions, could also be considered waste.

If you are the spouse claiming that waste occurred, it is initially your burden to show that, on its face, such spending appears to meet the legal definition of waste. If you are able to do so, it becomes your spouse’s burden to show that the spending was not waste. Your spouse can meet that burden by showing that the monies were spent for the benefit of the community (for example, paying community debts), were spent with your acquiescence or approval, or the spending was not excessive or abnormal based on the historical spending habits or lifestyle of your family.

I once had a case where one spouse sold the other spouse’s clothes at a garage sale. The court ruled that the sale of the clothes was waste, and ordered the holder of the garage sale to pay to replace all of the clothing sold. Beware of vengeful actions, and account for your spending if you are using community accounts while your divorce case is ongoing to avoid a claim of waste being made against you.

Really fun, but totally unsubstantiated gossip By now you’ve probably heard that The Phoenician’s opulent ballroom hosted the most successful Trends Charitable Fund Celebrity Luncheon ever. The groundswell started when Robert Black, Karen Thorn, Diane Might and Cathy Boswell came up with the noteworthy idea to showcase yet another local-gal-made-good. You might remember that last year it was talented shoe designer Holly Dunlap of Hollywould. This year’s bash featured Deborah Lippmann, songstress and manicurist to the stars. She captivated the audience with stories about giving manis and pedis to celebs such as George Clooney (all the women swooned), Mariah Carey and Renee Zellweger. Ms. Lippman then belted out jazzy new tunes from her latest CD, “Vinyl.”

And ladies and gentlemen, this Deborah Lippmann is also a talented vocalist. classy Coronado High School grad did it all for free, just like Holly Dunlap did last year. By the way, Holly was unable to attend this year’s luncheon but her lovely sister Lily Lloyd flew in all the way from Austin, Texas to attend. Remarkable! The annual event also played host to the 10 best-dressed women and men of Phoenix. Our eternally chic ladies are Debbie Bennett,

By Bill Dougherty

Nanci Bruner, Diane Halle, Ina Manaster and Miriam Sukhman. The dashing gentlemen are Nick Esposito, Tanner Flynn, Mark Tarbell, Dan Santy and Don Ulrich. Are you surprised?

Of course not. When all was said and done the bash raised more money for the Trends Charitable Fund that ever before. You should have been there.

(photo taken in 1982)

Speaking of dapper gentleman, you might have noticed that sexy celebrity chef Mark Tarbell was sporting a wedding ring as he ascended the catwalk at the TCF luncheon. Single women across the Valley have gone into a perpetual state of mourning for the man who seemed to personify the term “swinging bachelor.” One more thing ladies – he and his lovely wife Nikki are expecting a visit from the stork! Congratulations to the beautiful couple.

Bill Nassikas is going to go down in history as one of the most generous members of our community. The Hotel Valley Ho president and CEO, together with yet another celebrity chef, Chuck Wiley, and catering manager Melanie Newton (one of England’s greatest exports), threw open his trendy resort yet again for the TCF annual board of directors meeting. Everyone made the scene to see who had been appointed Continued on page 13

Ginette Karabees, Libby Cohen and Priscilla Nicholas are chairing the 2008 TCF Celebrity Luncheon.

to the illustrious TCF board. Anywhere in the room you could see Priscilla Nicholas, (fetching in a summery straw hat), Ginette Karabees and Libby Cohen. The dynamic trio plans to chair the TCF Luncheon next April. Then there were Nancy Berge, Sandy Wood and Jane Christensen (who looked to be channeling Elizabeth Taylor from her film “The Sandpiper”). Carol Cook attended despite having just recovered from hip surgery. We were very impressed. Lisa HenryHolmes was there, then again so were Glenna Shapiro, Barbara Davis, Daryl Weil, Patty Stelton, Linda Pope, Sarah Cheek, Cathy Kleeman, Shelley Adams, Jane Bergamo and scores more of the beautiful and well accomplished. Herman Chanen and Don Ulrich, two of our past Fabulous Phoenicians, took time out of their busy schedules to attend as well. That meant the world to the Trendsetters.

Outgoing TCF president Diane Might, who did a splendid job, introduced Chris Gustafson (a true Southern woman) as the new TCF

president and new board members Jill Alanko, Carrie Hall (Phoenix’s answer to Martha Stewart) and Sandy Magruder. We extended our gratitude to Kristy Moore, Carole Moreno and Christi WarnerBeyer for three fine years of TCF service. The afternoon continued to flow like fine champagne as merrymakers made their way to the valet stand to retrieve their cars. After several attempts to find the owner of an unclaimed El Camino, someone finally just turned the keys over to Libby Cohen, assuming it was hers since she had arrived sporting a tank top, a cashmere tank top, but a tank top nonetheless.

The winds of changes are not always pleasant. Jackson La Baer passed away May 11. I met the founder of The Clotherie menswear store in June of 1981, shortly before Frank Brophy was to marry Anna Andreini.

I needed a 42 extra-long sport coat for the wedding, but there was one catch: I wanted it double-breasted, something next to impossible to find in Phoenix in 1981. However Jackson, ever the visionary, carried just what I wanted. I wore that blazer for 15 years. I gave it away not because it wore out but because I gained weight.

Together with his business partner, the equally dapper Greg Eveloff, Jackson introduced the Valley to fashion none of us ever dreamed would be right at our fingertips. Jackson La Baer was not just one of the good guys, he was one of the Jackson La Baer best! You will be missed, my dear friend.

Gifted with an artistic background, Debbie views fashion as works of art. She believes people look best when they compose their attire based on their body lines. Since she is petite, she wears three-quarter-length sleeves to look taller. Debbie learned about the cut of fabric, texture and lines from her mother. But two local friends also influenced her.

Ina Manaster

Ina Manaster bypasses what’s in style for sophisticated looks and simple lines.

From Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards to fashionable celebrities Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Johnny Carson and Jimmy Stewart. “I dress for comfort. No matter what the cut, fit and look, I have to be comfortable wearing it, even if it’s an outrageous pair of purple pants,” the Valley chef said.

I don’t wear cologne.

Miriam Sukhman

If Miriam Sukhman could have only one bit of advice on fashion, she’d tell people to cultivate their own unique style. She developed her own unique look from her mother, who was always fashionable and loved clothes. “I always admired her. We are from Russia so didn’t have many galas, but my mother’s clothes fit her perfectly when she went out,” Miriam recalled.

Favorite Fragrance: Anything from Takashimaya.

Favorite Formal Wear Designer: I’m not really loyal to anyone. I prefer French, German and Scandinavian designers in particular. European designs are very flirty and feminine.

Favorite “Funky” Designer: I love contemporary jewelry but don’t know all the designers.

Favorite Jewelry Designer: Steven Webster. He’s very original and doesn’t follow anyone.

Your “signature look”? It changes with my mood and all depends where I go.

If I go to a contemporary art show, I will wear contemporary.

Favorite Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne.

Favorite Architectural Style: Modern.

Favorite Interior Design Style: Modern.

Don Ulrich

Don Ulrich looks for two things when buying clothes – purchase items made from high-quality fabrics, such as tight-knit, lightweight wools, and find a good tailor, such as Zizzo. Doing so will bring you one step closer to the classic look epitomized by actor Cary Grant, an impeccable dresser who Don admires.

Favorite Fragrance: I seldom use them.

Favorite Formal Wear Designer: Brioni.

Favorite Sports Wear Designer: Ralph Lauren.

Most Interesting Up-and-Coming Designer: The clothes much of the younger generation is wearing are ridiculous. Manufacturers are using a lot of cheap fabrics and charging unbelievable prices for clothes that are skin tight.

Favorite “Funky” Designer: I funk up my own look often enough. Maybe Versace, but not the way-out stuff.

Favorite Jewelry Designer: My wife.

I wear the wedding ring she designed.

Favorite Shoe Designer: Anybody who makes comfortable loafers with style, such as Ferragamo.

I’ve been going to her for 25 years and told her I’d keep coming until she gets it right.

INTERVIEW

10 Questions for…

Lonnie Kane

By Bill Dougherty

Biltmore Skin Care Center Love The Skin You’re In

ASK THE EXPERTS: Comfort, ease, luxury and longevity.

These are the fashion philosophy elements of clothing designers Karen and Lonnie Kane. Three decades ago, the easy-going Southern California couple started their company in their Studio City garage. Today, they are fashion icons who produced one of the most successful ready-towear lines in the country.

Earlier this year, Lonnie Kane stopped at our own Dillard’s Scottsdale to introduce the Karen Kane collection for Spring 2007. He also managed to raise funds for Banner of Hope through purchases in the store that day. Trends Publisher Bill Dougherty had the distinguished privilege of sitting down with Lonnie for a few thought-provoking questions.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? My wife, our children and our business running well.

Which historical figures do you admire most? I was a history major so I would have to say George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman.

What four people, living or dead, would you invite to dinner?

Ralph Lauren, John McCain, Audrey Hepburn and Mick Jagger.

Who have been your greatest fashion inspirations?

Coco Chanel, St. Tropez, France; Karen Kane Collection Katharine Hepburn and Anne Klein.

What is your greatest indulgence?

Cars. My Corvettes, Shelbys and Porsches.

What is your greatest achievement? My marriage and my two great sons.

What is your greatest regret?

I don’t have one.

Where would you like to live?

In Tuscany, Italy, growing tomatoes and olives overlooking a valley.

What is your greatest possession?

Possessions are not important to me.

What is your worst habit? I’m a little OCD (obsessive-compulsive).

for Spring 2007

Skin Care 101 Jan Dupuy, RN

Nurse Specialist in Cosmetic Skin Care Owner of Biltmore Skin Care Center Q. I’ve seen some TV commercials about some injections that supposedly dissolve fat instead of liposuction surgery. Does that work?

A. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? However, to be fair I haven’t seen it done nor do I personally know anyone who’s raving about it and trust me, I know a lot of “ravers”! What I can tell you factually after a call to MICA (The Mutual Insurance Company of Arizona that insures Board Certified Medical Doctors) is that they will not provide malpractice coverage for this procedure or the String Face-Lift. Given that, I’m personally take the wait and see on both of these expensive procedures.

Q. I had a light treatment done for brown spots on my face a couple of years ago and I don’t think it really worked.

What’s best for me?

A. Please understand that the science and technology of skin care is changing as rapidly as cell phones and computers. With each generation of Pulsed Light Therapy we see significant improvements in capabilities and benefits. You may have been treated with a machine that didn’t pack the punch like the newer machines do. However, that extra energy also carries certain inherent risks that are not to be taken lightly. It’s important that you are treated by someone who has intimate knowledge of the technology at hand and who is equally knowledgable about the different applications for different skin types. I suggest you speak with the Nurse or Doctor who will be administering these treatments. Feel free to ask about the age of the equipment they use, the training they’ve had and any skin preparation you will need prior to treatments.

Q. What’s the best way to get rid of a pimple?

A. Keep thy mits off thy zits! Popping a pimple can almost double the healing time because it pushes the bacteria deeper into the pores which leads to a whole new set of problems. Infection, persistent redness and even scarring. But if you must pick, please wash your hands before touching a blemish. Try applying a dab of salicylic acid or benzoyl-peroxide that you can get from your skin care Doctor or Nurse every a.m and p.m. for several days and if it’s really a bad one, consider having the blemish injected with a steroid. During the healing time, apply a concealer. Out of sight...out of mind!

Summer movies aren’t traditionally great but they are BIG. You’re probably still reeling from May’s third-generation sequel madness (“Spider-Man 3,” “Shrek the Third,” “Pirate’s of the Caribbean: At World’s End”). Prepare for more big- and medium-budget sequels as temperatures soar, such as “Ocean’s Thirteen” (June 8), “Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer” (June 15), “Evan Almighty” (June 22), “The Bourne Ultimatum” (Aug. 3) and “Rush Hour 3” (Aug. 10). Do we really need “Rush Hour 3”? Oh, well. Grab your favorite magician’s wand for the most anticipated sequel of the summer: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (July 13). It blends Harry’s raging teen hormones with Harry’s raging desire to thwart Lord Voldemort. Note: release dates are subject to change.

New kids’ offerings for the summer include “Nancy Drew” (June 15), which transports the teen detective to Hollywood; “Ratatouille” (June 29), pictured at right, the animated story of a Manhattan rat who wants to become a famous chef; “Transformers” (July 4), do you think somebody will save the world here?; and “Underdog” (Aug. 3), a live-action version of the classic TV cartoon.

D’oh! Let’s not forget Homer Simpson’s big screen debut. “The Simpsons Movie” opens July 27. Creator Matt Groening is keeping the plot under tight wraps.

No wonder the film has yet to be rated.

Sure Bets for Summer Fun!

By Wendy Miller Air-conditioned office. Air-conditioned house. Air-conditioned car. Oh yes, jump in the pool.

The heat shouldn’t limit your options for fun this summer. Here is a five-pack of getaways that are only a short drive or quick flight from Phoenix.

The Lodge at Torrey Pines

You and your pet can share in the good life at the San Ysidro Ranch, where guests and their favorite pup can enjoy side-by-side in-room massages thanks to the Ranch’s privileged pet program. It’s one of the many services offered at the intimate, upscale resort, which has undergone a $150 million full-property facelift. Rich in history, the land belonged to the King of Spain in the 18th century; 200 years later, American royalty John and Jacqueline Kennedy chose to honeymoon there. Today, guests enjoy in-room spa services, day trips to local beaches, wineries and other attractions in and around Santa Barbara; and hiking trails in the Santa Ynez Mountains. July and August are the peak months so book early.

As the only AAA Five-Diamond destination resort in San Diego, the California Craftsman-style Lodge at Torrey Pines overlooks the 18th hole of the Torrey Pines South Course. Aside from being the backdrop to the Buick Invitational, The Lodge was selected as the official host site of 2008 U.S. Open. It recently garnered praise from readers of Travel & Leisure Golf, who ranked it one of the top golf resorts in the West and Northwest in the magazine’s reader survey of the World’s Best Golf Resorts. Its accolades also include the Gold List, Best Places to Stay and Top 55 Spas, Reader Poll by Conde Nast Traveler in 2007 and the Top 200 Places to Stay in 2006 by the Robb Report.

The Paradise Valley home of Sanford and Marcia Roth

By Bill Dougherty

When the Italian Cruise Line launched the Andrea Doria in 1953, it was considered a floating masterpiece of fine art and modernity. The cruise line’s literature referred to

Editor’s Note: Trends has spotlighted the Valley’s finest homes since it began publishing in 1982. As Trends celebrates its 25th anniversary, it revisits some of our favorites. Readers can expect to see more memories of 25 years of Valley society and fundraisers as the summer progresses.

This month, we revisit the Roth home.

This article first ran in 2001. the ship in this way: “It may not be the biggest, it may not be the fastest, but none are more beautiful.” This is exactly how I would describe the Paradise Valley home of Sanford and Marcia Roth.

Built in 1962, the Roths’ Ross Shubackdesigned home is shaped like a hyperbolic parabola, which gives it the appearance of floating. It is decorated with international style, contemporary 20th-Century furniture.

That period includes the 1920s and ‘30s Bauhaus, the ‘50s mid-century and the ‘80s Memphis design styles.

The chic couple’s furniture collection includes pieces by Marcel Breuer, Arne Jacobsen, Charles Eames, Warren Platner and Mies Van Der Rohe. The Roths’ impressive art collection of paintings and sculptures includes works by Paul Reed, Beth Ames Swartz, Jim Davis and Merrill Mahaffey.

Massive mahogany doors adorned with chrome handles at the entrance soar high.

Stainless steel posts sit like guards off to the side, making the entryway both impressive and modern.

A gunmetal gray Swedish fireplace wrapped in a perforated steel screen divides the vestibule from a sunken living room that screams “cocktail party.” Mies Van Der Rohe Barcelona chairs surround an exquisite low-lying table, while track lighting gives the home a serene feel throughout the spacious living room. The ceiling is made from white, perforated aluminum, which shoots to the sky while light streams in nearby from a massive skylight.

Sliding glass doors open to a cantilevered deck and a swank pool surrounded by Shultz patio furniture and more sculpture.

At every vantage point, there is a Zen quality of minimalism and calm.

The Roths’ master bedroom is warm and inviting. The clean, hard lines of the Harry Bertoia chairs seem fitting against the hues of taupe and black. They work well together in the room. Outside, the tranquil garden offers a grand view of the desert.

The couple enjoys their meals seated at an Eero Saarinen marble dining table.

Saarinen designed TWA’s JFK and Dulles International airport terminals. The dining room is divided by an eye-catching Ettore Sottsass plastic laminate partition behind which lies a state-of-the-art kitchen. It is equipped with every gourmet appliance a chef could ever want.

The Paradise Valley home is the only one the Roths have owned and for good reason.

“Our house grew up with us and our two daughters,” Marcia says. “After our children were grown, it was completely updated in the 1980s with the help of interior designers Eric and Dorothy Bron.” With every room in the house filled, it became “an adult executive home” with offices for the couple.

It boasts museum-quality works of art and furniture, yet the Roth home remains a warm and welcoming environment for friends and family.

PET OF THE MONTH

Pepper At just 2 years old, Pepper is the complete package. Not only is this black-andwhite tricolor Miniature Poodle playful, affectionate and loyal, but he’s also an extremely bright little pup who has had tons of obedience training. He can sit, shake and lay down.

Pepper is eager to please his human friends.

He’s a bit shy at first, but he quickly warms to his new family and environment. He enjoys prancing around the house or backyard, and he likes to play with balls and rope toys. True to his Miniature Poodle roots, he’s very enthusiastic about learning new doggie tricks and behaviors. This adorable tiny pooch with the big brown eyes always looks to be the center of attention and loves to sleep in your lap!

Potential parents will need to take Pepper on daily walks to make sure he receives enough exercise. Because of his size, Pepper would do best in a quiet home with older children.

He gets along well with other doggies and hasn’t been around cats.

Pepper was surrendered to the shelter because his former owner did not have the time to properly care for him. He needs a loving family who can cherish and protect him for the rest of his life. Even though he loves being around other dogs and older children, his new owners will need to slowly introduce them to him before welcoming Pepper into their household.

Pepper is already neutered. He is available for adoption at the Arizona Humane Society’s Campus for Compassion, 1521 W. Dobbins Road, Phoenix. His $100 adoption fee includes neuter surgery, first vaccinations, a collar, a leash, an I.D. tag, follow-up veterinary exam and other goodies. Pepper may have already been adopted when you arrive at the shelter, but the AHS has dozens of wonderful pets all looking for loving families.

Getting To Know Abby Traister

By Annette Marino

Community involvement is also one of her passions. Abby’s eyes light up when talking about the first charity event that The Mix hosted, even before its tenants’ doors open for business this fall. HeartBeat On Canal Street will take place Oct. 6. Held in conjunction with the 2007 Heart Ball Committee, HeartBeat is a Las Palomas event benefiting the American Heart Association. Abby is cochairing this event with Lisa Sipes, Jennifer Flynn and Brooke Martin. HeartBeat is a new version of the successful annual Pardi Gras fundraiser. With more than 20 participating restaurants, live bands and a sneak peak at The Mix, this new Scottsdale experience is poised to become a much-anticipated annual fundraising event. More info is available at www.phoenixheartball.org.

From whom did you get your inspiration to help others? My mom, Gail Traister, was my main inspiration, as well as my aunt Jean Marley. As a small girl, I remember going to events with them. It was so exciting to see the ladies dressed up, and it all seemed so important. As I grew up, of course I learned why it was important to help others. My mom and I would adopt a family each Christmas, and it was extra special to actually see the impact that act of kindness had when we delivered the gifts and food. My commu-

nity involvement really kicked in after college though, and I have been so fortunate to have such great role models as Jennifer Croll and our very good family friend Susie Wesley.

What nonprofits have you been involved with in the past, and now? Two events that I always try to make a point to attend are (the Arizona Humane Society) Compassion For Fashion and the Trends Charitable Fund Celebrity Luncheon. The first time I got a glimpse of the level of energy and effort needed to chair an event was when I helped Jennifer (Croll) on the first Pardi Gras event.

Then I co-chaired it the next year, and I really understood how much work it is. But it is so rewarding, and I am so excited about cochairing this year’s HeartBeat event. I also work on the Pulse event committee, help coordinate the fashion shows for the Emily Center Luncheon, and design the invitations for several other charity events each year.

How do you think we can attract more young people to be philanthropic and help others? One thing we are doing with HeartBeat is that there are junior tickets available at a reduced price for people 30 years and younger. We hope this will encourage some people to get involved and experience this wonderful event and see firsthand how great if feels to be involved in helping a good cause. We also are working with other organizations, like the 20/30 Club and the Boys & Girls Club, to cross-promote events to increase participation by younger people.

What are some things people may be surprised to know about you? Probably how much I love dogs might be surprising! Maybe the fact that even though I’m a hard worker, I love to have fun. I love to snowboard, and have since I was 14. I studied abroad for eight months, primarily in London, but also got to travel and experience Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, Austria, Holland, France and Spain. I have always had a passion for travel.
