Editor’s Letter The Cure Corridor and So Much More

drive past the medical facilities makes it clear that the city of Scottsdale is and will continue to be a formidable player in the burgeoning healthcare industry. A closer look reveals that as part of its Cure Corridor the city, along with healthcare professionals, are well connected when it comes to fighting a common foe: cancer. In 2013, the City of Scottsdale increased its focus on the Cure Corridor, not just to brand the municipality as a destination for healthcare providers, but to appeal to the many significant research projects underway. More importantly, it was also designed to attract more businesses to Scottsdale. In this issue, Jimmy Magahern’s story sheds light on the corridor, its history and evolution. We also take you inside the facilities where cancer trials and translational drug development are part of the fascinating, cutting-edge work giving hope to cancer patients and their loved ones. Also in this issue, read about the interesting Airpark-based company BILINER, which imports its water all the way from the owner’s hometown of Bilina in the Czech Republic. Finally, if that’s not enough, we profile Darrell Denslow, a 41-year-old CEO of a spinal implant distribution company by day, and a tough mixed martial artist by night who is currently training for a championship bout in November—talk about drive! As always, thanks for reading. If you have any news you think worthy of your Airpark neighbors, please send it along to editor@ scottsdaleairpark.com Happy reading!

Taser Explosion Injures 7

An explosion at the Taser headquarters on Sept. 10 resulted in injuries to seven employees, six of whom were treated at the hospital and released that evening.

The explosion occurred in part of the automation line after it was shut down for the day and in its cleanup phase at approximately 4:15 p.m., according to Steve Tuttle, vice president of communications for Taser. Employees immediately evacuated the facility after hearing a loud noise and called the fire department. The incident did not occur during the actual production phase and did not impact the body-worn camera production line, which was on a different floor. There was no structural damage or fires. The company did not anticipate any delays in current orders, Tuttle said.

Cure Corridor Mixing world-class healthcare with cutting-edge genomic science and startup tech smarts, Scottsdale’s Cure Corridor aims to be Arizona’s medical solutions incubator.

hristian Green first noticed the T-bone years ago, when he was driving a relative from one top specialist to another for cancer treatment, in what turned out to be a fairly concentrated area around Scottsdale’s two main drags. On a map, the curious connect-the-dots pattern of healthcare and biolife sciences companies scattered throughout the city was beginning to resemble a reclining T-bone steak. “Basically we spent all our time going from one place to another within this cluster of locations in Scottsdale,” says Green, economic development manager of the City of Scottsdale. He was pointing out the concentration of care centers, research institutions and clinical trial centers that form a long thin line over Shea Boulevard from 136th Street to Scottsdale Road and a thicker perpendicular stroke covering Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 from the Airpark down to Thomas Road. “We didn’t have a name for it then; it hadn’t been identified yet. But you had Mayo Clinic on one end and what was the Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center, now HonorHealth, on the other, and then you had the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center to the south. It was a grouping of institutions that just naturally came together to form its own synergy.” It took Scottsdale Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane giving a name to the pattern—the “Cure Corridor”—to solidify an identity for the cluster and give the city its own distinct stake in the innovative economy of Arizona.

18 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

By Jimmy Magahern Today Scottsdale’s Cure Corridor represents the biggest assemblage of cutting-edge healthcare and bioscience institutions in the state, comprising some 45 patient care delivery, research and clinical trial companies, with 17 located in the Scottsdale Airpark area alone. All hovering over that big western T-bone. “That was my initiative for a long time,” says Lane, “but we finally brought it all together in a more formal way about three years ago, when we organized the inventory of companies that are in the biosciences and biotechnical field and named it the Cure Corridor. It started with the Mayo Clinic along with the rapid growth of Scottsdale Healthcare, but the big jump happened when T-Gen (the nonprofit Translational Genomics Research Institute) came to the Valley and later TD2, the translational drug development subsidiary, came here. That’s when I said, ‘Hey, we’ve got something special here.’ “We already had some world-class healthcare companies offering drug therapies that sustain and extend life, but now we also had a major component in the business of curing long-standing illnesses through genomics and translational drug development therapies. So that’s where the name ‘the Cure Corridor’ came from. It goes to the idea of curing illnesses, rather than just sustaining life with drug therapy.” Lane says the simple act of identifying the assortment of health-related companies in Scottsdale and then “broadcasting it to the world,” as the City did at its first Cure Corridor event in September 2013, helping

attract even more key players to the area. (A third annual event, featuring speakers from some of the Corridor’s major anchors, will be held at the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess on Dec. 4.) “Environments have a tendency, once they develop and are identified, to grow organically,” he says. “So establishing Scottsdale as a home to a field of great companies in the industry has indeed attracted more, from businesses specializing in clinical care and education to research and development and innovation. We’re now dealing with people in tech startups, science companies, healthcare institutions and supporting fields who recognize the Cure Corridor as a collaborative yet competitive environment, where everybody is in a position to talk about what they’re doing and noodle it with others in their field. And it’s been a very positive thing for the city.”

Healthy Competition

Dr. Ruben Mesa can vouch for the competitive atmosphere that exists in the Valley between cancer centers, which vie for patients while simultaneously aiming to make history with a cancer cure. “I think people can clearly tell, from the amount of advertising done by various cancer centers, that there is competition here,” says Mesa, who serves as deputy director of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in Arizona and chairs the division of hematology/oncology in the clinic’s Department of Internal Medicine. “But to …continues on page 20

of collaboration the Corridor fosters. “That’s something we’re working on both here at the Mayo Clinic but also in collaboration with TGen and the investigators at HonorHealth,” he says. “In that particular study, patients with melanoma are having their genes sequenced and then, based on their genetic profile, receive one of 20 different therapies, and the therapy that’s chosen specifically targets that individual’s cancer.” The study leverages TGen’s expertise in cancer genomics to analyze each patient’s tumor at a molecular level so that he or she can be treated with the best drug for the individual situation. The organizations Stand Up To Cancer and the Melanoma Research Alliance, which are funding the study, have called the collaboration (which also includes researchers from ASU), Arizona’s “Melanoma Dream Team.” In addition to Mayo’s efforts in the fight against that deadly skin cancer, Mesa is excited about the clinic’s phase I drug development program for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. He says Mayo is conducting trials of two promising drugs: P8302, which attacks pancreatic cancer cells living in oxygen-depleted regions; and PEGPH20, which penetrates pancreatic cancer cells to make them more susceptible to chemotherapy.

After Christian Green noticed the cluster of medical facilities in Scottsdale, the area was dubbed the Cure Corridor. some degree that can be helpful, in that it both gives patients choices and it also encourages innovation, collaboration and interaction between the leaders at the different medical centers. We all view cancer as the enemy and view our colleagues with great respect.” Mesa cites the clinical trials Mayo has been performing in the field of melanoma treatment as the perfect example of the kind

Mayo is also conducting trials for patients with acute and chronic leukemia, including one that will decrease the amount of radiation treatments a patient needs, and one using newly invented “proton beams” in combination with immunological treatments to treat cancers that were considered inoperable before. Mayo is opening a $180 million proton facility next spring in a facility just east of the Phoenix campus. Mesa says that being a part of a collective like the Cure Corridor helps the clinic gain recognition for such innovative treatments, as the City’s high-profile branding effectively draws more national and international attention to all the organizations connected with it. “I think it’s put Scottsdale very much on the radar, more than it’s been in the past,” he says. “And I think there’s much more international awareness of our efforts. That’s good for Arizona cancer patients, and good for Arizona.”

walls,” because his team often partners with leading universities and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Slater considers the Cure Corridor, which he helped the city develop, an extension of the same concept: kind of the open-office model spread out over a city. “Collaboration is a key part of what we do,” he says, “trying to extend beyond our institutional walls to attract talent and technology and resources into our community in ways that can have a direct impact right here and now for our patients.” Like Mayo, HonorHealth’s research team has been benefiting from partnering with TGen, which Slater says is helping them develop “this field of precision medicine and individually targeted therapies for cancer,” echoing Dr. Mesa’s praise for the benefits of implementing genomic science into basic patient care. “The idea of understanding tumors at the molecular level, and targeting new drug development that can go to those molecular mechanisms and apply the appropriate therapy for each individual patient, that’s exciting,” he says with enthusiasm. “That can reduce side effects and greatly improve outcomes.” Slater mentions as an example HonorHealth’s work with basal cell cancer,

skin lesions that can become metastatic and spread to vital organs of the body. “A local Scottsdale man was the very first person in the world to try new targeted therapy as it was developed here that followed a molecular pathway. Through basic science research we were able to translate that into an oral pill, able to be taken with very few side effects. He went from having a life expectancy of a few weeks and needing to be sent to a hospice to going back to independent living, with the tumors basically falling off from his skin and the skin healing. “That drug was fast-track approved through the FDA, and now it’s standard therapy, available for advanced basal cell cancer and it’s also been used for certain brain tumors in children. It really heartened us to show that this approach to understanding the science, and understanding precisely what the molecular mechanisms of the tumor are, can lead to real breakthroughs in therapy.” HonorHealth has also had great success partnering with TGen in fighting pancreatic cancer, developing two new approved therapies that have doubled the one-to twoyear survival rate for the disease, with some stage IV pancreatic cancer patients now surviving over a decade under their care.

New Frontiers for Corridor

It is also partnering with healthcare informatics specialists (engineers schooled in the science of computer information systems) to launch a “molecular medicine initiative,” gathering genomic and molecular information to identify the earliest times they can intervene to intercept cancer before it takes hold.

Lane says one field that’s becoming an increasingly important part of the Cure Corridor is advanced computer science, a domain dominated here by all the tech startups concentrated around the Scottsdale Airpark. “The overhaul of our healthcare system and the efficiencies that are being brought about by innovations in all matters of administration, electronic record keeping and the utilization of time has become paramount,” Lane says. “And that creates a need for companies specializing in things like biomedical informatics, health records banking and the ability to store and retrieve medical records from any place on the globe.” Lane mentions Theranos, the consumer blood test company founded by Elizabeth Holmes, the chemical engineering prodigy

who dropped out of Stanford to form her own company at age 19, as an example of the new health technology disrupters entering the Cure Corridor. The Palo Altobased company took over a 20,000-squarefoot wing at SkySong last July. Theranos recently partnered with Walgreens to begin offering its blood testing platform, which uses a few drops of blood obtained via a fingerstick rather than vials of blood obtained via traditional venipuncture, at all of the stores’ Wellness Centers. Closer to the Airpark, Lane cites Orion Health, a New Zealand software company offering big data analytics to healthcare providers and insurance companies that recently opened its North American development center near the south end of the Scottsdale Airport. Lane says the company plans to hire 100 new employees within its first year and an additional 300 to 400 over the following three years, offering new hires an average salary of around $88,000 annually. “What we’re doing with the Cure Corridor is just bringing some of these companies together to create a smoother path to some of these innovations,” he says. “And so far, it’s accomplishing everything we hoped for and more.” 

The cobalt blue bottles of BILINER are making their way onto shelves in grocery and beverage stores.

A Gift

from Mother Nature BILINER brings a 300-year-old tradition of premium bottled water back to America By Marjorie Rice

CEO Dennis Gonsiorovsky calls BILINER water "a gift from nature."

Tim Sealy

or more than 350 years, people have been coming to Bilina, a small town in the picturesque North Bohemian region of Europe, to “take the waters”— pristine, naturally carbonated alkaline mineral water and pure spring water bubbling up from deep under volcanic rocks. Today, Dennis Gonsiorovsky, CEO of Scottsdale-based BILINER LLC, is taking those waters back to America, and cobaltblue bottles of BILINER water are making their way onto grocery and beverage store shelves in Arizona and nationwide. “We are bringing consumers the best of the best in bottled waters,” Gonsiorovsky says. “Today, you see many bottled waters—nine out of 10 of them are basically tap water run through filters. In Arizona we have to drink a lot of water. If you are going to drink, drink good quality water. “All our products are 100 percent natural and untouched by human hands,” he adds. “It’s the only natural alkaline mineral water in the world. It’s not filtered, it’s just the way it comes from the earth—a gift from nature.” While Gonsiorovsky’s American company is just a few years old, the BILINER story goes back much further. It began in 1664, when members of the Lobkowitz royal family in what is now the Czech Republic discovered the springs on their property and began exporting the water throughout Europe under the BILINER Sauerbrunn label. In the late 18th century, bottling factories

and later health spas were established for European aristocrats, who credited the water with health-giving properties. The town of Bilina became known as the “Vichy of Bohemia.” Exports grew to include the United States and South America in the 1800s. The reputation of the water—particularly the highly alkaline mineral water— also grew and it was awarded numerous medals in competitions throughout the …continues on page 26 October 2015 Scottsdale Airpark News | 25

world for its purported health benefits. Those included medals from the Chicago World’s Fair in 1892 and 1893. Despite wars and political upheaval, the waters have continued to be in demand, and today BILINER is the world’s oldest bottled water brand. And there still is a spa in the town of Bilina, though it is closed. City officials there hope to find investors who can restore it to its former standard as one of the premiere spas of the region. Distribution was halted after World War II, when the communist regime came to power in then-Czechoslovakia. In 1948, the government confiscated the company from the Lobkowitz family and placed a ban on exports of the water. “In 1997 the family received it back from the Czech

They didn’t want to run it moved back to the Czech Republic, marso they decided to sell the company, and I ried and decided to return to the United and my partner bought it,” Gonsiorovsky States.

This product has been served in hospitals and spas throughout Eastern Europe for problems with the digestive system, heartburn, kidney and liver, Gonsiorovsky says. The water contains sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, as well as ions of chloride, sulphate and bicarbonate. “The minerals are so good for your body,” Gonsiorovsky says. “It’s a miracle, really. Anybody who has a problem with heartburn—and I am among them—can drink a 16.9-ounce bottle of the mineral water every day and have no problem whatsoever with heartburn. It’s a natural way to stay hydrated and to help cleanse the body, soften and moisturize your skin and keep everything at the proper level.” If today’s level of pharmaceutical advertising is any measure, BILINER will have plenty of heartburn sufferers to whom to market its products—especially aging Baby Boomers. That is, if it can get them past the first bottle. BILINER can be an acquired taste for consumers who are not used to water with such a high mineral content. “We know people will say it tastes different,” Gonsiorovsky says, “and yes, this water definitely tastes different than Perrier, San Pellegrino or any other mineral waters because it’s seven times stronger than any other mineral waters out there, so it has a slightly saltier taste. …continues on page 28

“We’ve been hearing from people from Eastern Europe and Asia, where our water is popular,” Gonsiorovsky says. “Once people realize how good the alkaline water is for their body, they are hooked on it.” Consumers also like the fact that BILINER waters are bottled exactly as they flow from the mineral spring. The water is bottled at the springs and shipped in containers to warehouses in Florida, Texas and California, then to markets throughout America. The young company has five employees and works with brokers around the country to present the product to potential food and beverage outlets. Right now it’s in Albertsons and Hi-Health stores across Arizona. The company is hoping to expand to Safeway, Bashas’, Fry’s, Sprouts and other locations.

“Some people will love the taste,” he adds. “Some will say it’s not their cup of tea. But after one or two bottles, when you get used to the taste and realize how good it is for your body, you’ll be drinking it every day.” Alkaline mineral water is a pretty new category for most of the American market, Gonsiorovsky says, “but it’s like 15 years ago, when nobody knew about energy drinks. We’re educating consumers through TV, radio and magazine advertising. We’re also updating our website with more information for future consumers about what is so great about our product, and why people have been using it for 350 years.” While the water may be new for many American consumers, it’s a familiar favorite among people with European roots, who make up a natural market for the new company.

While the company is new in the state, BILINER has made an early commitment to serve the community. Recently, the company became a new corporate sponsor of CBS 5’s Pay it Forward community support campaign, joining longtime sponsor Wells Fargo. Since its inception six years ago, the program has raised more than $1.5 million for families in need and other causes. “We are committed to investing in programs designed to create a better Arizona,” Gonsiorovsky says. “We are excited to bring our European heritage to America. A large part of that heritage has to do with being a strong community steward. The Pay It Forward program allows us to be involved with a highly respected program while partnering with some wonderful local charities with the ultimate goal of inspiring positive change in Arizona.”  BILINER LLC 15207 N. 75th St., Suite 101 Scottsdale 85260 (480) 256-0747 www.biliner.com www.facebook.com/Biliner

Darrell Denslow, CEO of Airpark-based 3D Spinal Solutions, trains for his upcoming mixed martial arts championship fight.

Company CEO Training for MMA Championship By Ken Abramczyk

arrell Denslow isn’t your typical Airpark CEO. During business hours, Denslow leads his company, 3D Spinal Solutions, a distributor of spinal implants and orthopedic devices. Early in the morning, Denslow, 41, trains for a mixedmartial arts (MMA) championship fight at Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino in Chandler on Nov. 7. Denslow isn’t bothered that he’s in a grueling sport generally reserved for younger fighters. He steps up to that challenge and doesn’t take anything for granted. For Denslow, age is only a number. “In the morning, I’ll work on sparring, wrestling, boxing, jujitsu and muay thai,”

30 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

Denslow says. Muay thai is a fighting technique using elbows in self defense. At night, he lifts weights for yet another competition sport: bodybuilding.

Learning to Defend

While in the Air Force in the early 1990s, Denslow trained as a surgical services specialist, an EMT and a certified surgical technician at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque. Beyond basic combat training, he wanted to learn how to defend himself while on the ground, so he started to train in MMA, taking classes with Greg Jackson a couple of times a month. He enjoyed the sparring and discipline. After Denslow returned to civilian life and eventually moved to Scottsdale, he met

Jared Allen, now a linebacker with the Chicago Bears, at a fundraiser for Allen’s charity, Homes for Wounded Warriors. Through Allen, Denslow was introduced to Ryan Bader, Aaron Simpson and C.B. Dollaway, three UFC fighters and former ASU wrestlers who own Power MMA in Gilbert. Shortly thereafter, Denslow began MMA training five days a week in Gilbert. He fought as an amateur until he received his professional license in January. In August, Denslow fought his first professional fight. He controlled “2:52 of the 3-minute fight,” he says, but lost it at the end. Denslow's effort garnered him an invitation for a title shot on Nov. 7. He would also be relicensed in 2016.

A FRANCHISE? A: I am often asked if Prestige Cleaners is a franchise. The answer is no. When my parents first opened in 1964, we called it “Frye’s” Prestige Cleaners. We later incorporated our business and dropped the Frye’s from the name. We are not owned nor do we pay royalties to Staples, Men’s Warehouse or Proctor & Gamble. We believe that remaining locally owned, allows us to recycle a much larger share of revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

ach business faces risks every day. Even with the best efforts, a business owner cannot completely eliminate all risks. Some risks can be transferred to an insurance company by purchasing insurance policies, but many owners simply shop price without regard to what they are buying and what is or is not covered. Taking some of the mystery out of insurance takes time and a strong agent who can walk you through the options. A starting point should be a basic understanding of the major types of insurance you can purchase to transfer, i.e., “sell,” some risks. Perhaps the most basic coverage for a business, general liability insurance, provides the business with coverage for bodily injury and property damage caused by you. It also provides you with defense assistance to covered claims, meaning a lawyer is provided to you. However, the carrier, in most cases, gets to pick the lawyer. Another basic coverage is property insurance coverage. If you own personal property or a building, this policy will protect you from such losses as theft, fire, vandalism and, if extended, may cover you for business interruption and loss of earnings while you are unable to operate. Automobile coverage is separate from this coverage. Commercial auto coverage provides and protects company vehicles including trailers that carry equipment, product or materials. When an employee drives their own vehicle for work, a business can purchase nonowned auto liability to protect the company in the event the employee has no coverage or limited coverage.

More Coverage for Businesses

In the case of lawyers, doctors and other professionals, there is another type of insurance called E&O or errors and omissions coverage. The general liability

policy does not cover professional advice but this coverage can provide protection. However, the need for E&O coverage is not limited to lawyers, doctors and other professionals. For example, if a pest control company does an inspection and opines about the condition of property and they make errors, this coverage is needed for them as well. Understanding the difference between general liability coverage and E&O coverage is difficult, but critical. Sometimes the directors or officers of a business take steps that negatively affect the company. To insure against this risk you can purchase directors and officers coverage, also known as D&O. This type of insurance, while not as common as general liability coverage, can provide indemnity for costs or losses as a result of the directors’ or officers’ actions. Employment practices liability coverage is another important form of insurance. In many cases it is not a standalone policy but an endorsement adding coverage to a general liability policy. EPL covers many losses stemming from wrongful termination, discrimination and the like. This area has become something of a hot bed for litigation and is something businesses may wish to purchase. …continues on page 34 October 2015 Scottsdale Airpark News | 33

legalperspectives This brings us to the issue of an employee injured on the job. In the early 1900s many states adopted a plan for workers compensation. Under this plan, employees are provided no-fault coverage for on-the-job injuries, but they give up their right to a jury trial. Instead they get medical expenses paid and a percentage of earnings for the time they are off work. If they suffer a permanent injury, they can receive additional amounts under a formula. Death benefits are afforded if the incident on the job results in death. Because this is no-fault coverage, if employees are negligent in causing their own injuries, such negligence does not bar or reduce their right to recover. This type of loss is excluded from general liability policies and therefore a separate workers compensation policy is needed.

Exclusions are important in insurance coverage. Most policies start with a broad grant of coverage but then remove certain items through a list of exclusions. Understanding what is excluded is equally as important as understanding which coverages are needed. Finally in this age of electronic communication and storage of data, a business can purchase data breach coverage. Such a policy protects against a loss of sensitive information stored or kept by the business about employees or clients. We read about data breaches often in the news and this coverage responds to such issues. Understanding insurance is not easy. It begins with an assessment of your business risks and then a determination of what coverage will eliminate some of those risks. Your business also may be subject to a law or rule requiring certain insurance and an awareness of these requirements is essential. 

While many of my patients may be taking prescriptive medications and may have experienced invasive procedures to manage their pain, I do not prescribe medications to mask pain or offer invasive procedures. Instead, I provide the body with what it needs to heal with great results, even from “no hope” cases and without the harmful side effects of medications and invasive procedures.

Mike Brown meets with colleagues at Washington Federal. From left are, Richard Padgett, vice president of equipment finance; Doug Reynolds, senior vice president of commercial real estate; Brown, Arizona regional president; and Todd Hatch, equipment finance.

Washington Federal on Fire Arizona regional president setting local business ablaze

hen Mike and Patty Brown moved to the Valley from Denver in summer 2005, they knew it would be hot. Hot, however, would be an understatement. “Just a few months into our new life here in Arizona, and it happened. Our house caught on fire, while we were in it,” says Mike Brown. At first the blaze seemed to be little grill fire outside—until they noticed it spread to their roof. “I had it in my head to use our garden hose to fight the fire—big mistake,” says Brown, who was eventually sent airborne by the exploding grill before ditching the hose to rescue the family pets from the house as it became engulfed in flames. Thankfully, no one was hurt. But the Browns were temporarily homeless. “We moved here so I could continue to build my banking career, and ended up needing to rebuild our entire lives,” says Brown. The learning lessons from the fire—

Turns out the fire was just the beginning for the Browns. Things would continue to heat up over the next decade—but in a good way, this time.

Past—Heating Up

“Over the past 18 months our team— based right here in Scottsdale—entered into agreement with Bank of America to acquire 13 of their branches statewide. So, in the past year, we’ve grown to more than 30 branches all across Arizona,” says Brown. In addition, the business lending and commercial division at Washington Federal are rebounding from the recent recession at a pace not even Brown expected. “Over the past year, our commercial side of the business is growing faster than

The bank has also been active in the community, recently announcing its support of Rally Point Tucson—a nonprofit organization focused on providing veterans, service members and their families resources in Pima County regardless of discharge status, entitlements or health benefits—by investing $2.9 million in the organization’s Rally Point Apartments project. Here in Maricopa County, Brown and his team—which notably include Scottsdale award-winning banking veterans Ben Danner and Doug Reynolds—are just as busy, having just partnered with the Phoenix Business Journal to honor Arizona’s 2015 Most Admired Leaders at the Omni Montelucia Resort and Spa in September. Brown, who also served as a judge for the annual award program, took more than just a sponsor “thank you” letter away from the gala. During the event, he addressed the audience, imparting these words: “...In reading through the honorees’

stories, the words ‘visionary,’ ‘trailblazer’ and ‘passion’ came up again and again— and for good reason. “But, it was actually a set of very different words that touched me: “He walks the talk. “She knows each of her 450 team members by name. “He has two ears and one Stakeholders in the Lux Air expansion take mouth, and uses them that way. part in the celebratory groundbreaking. “She does more than build Washington Federal financed the project at trust, she keeps it.

The Kids are Alright The LeVines create events their children would be proud of

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

hrough their Airpark-based company Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations, Steve and Jamie LeVine have booked international DJs for Maya Day + Nightclub, performers such as Macklemore for Super Bowl events, and the likes of Kid Rock for the Birds Nest. But as their family expanded, so has the company. SLE is bringing its successful track record of eight-plus years to a new genre of events—those for children. “It all started with kids’ shows back in the day,” Steve LeVine says in his conference room adorned with platinum records, autographed guitars and other memorabilia. “When I started a DJ company, I was 14 or 15 and I couldn’t really DJ corporate events at that time. So I DJed kids’ events. As we got to college, we focused on what’s current, what’s around us.” That led to enormous success, but one thing was left behind. Steve admits that he and Jamie lost focus of events for children. With the births of Connor Cash, 7, Jett Colton, 2 1/2, and Harper Riley, 2 months, the lines are less blurred and the couple are feeling more inspired than ever. “What has happened with us is I always had a love for kids and we donate a lot of our time back to kids and kids’ sports,” he says. “We had kids of our own and we figured this is what we do for a living. We always have dilemmas about what we’re going to do with our kids. What’s going on for kids.”

38 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

In addition to its signature concerts, the duo is creating events that help teach kids about the importance of arts and music in a time when they’re disappearing from curricula. “It’s interesting because our kids have their love for entertainment and music,” Jamie says. “I don’t know if it’s because of us, or the fact that they love it because they love it. But music and dancing is something that happens in our house a lot. It’s been fun to be able to incorporate events that are children-driven within our music.” The first event of this caliber is Fashion Week 4 Kids (FW4K). From Monday, Oct. 19, to Saturday, Oct. 24, kids and parents alike can partake in playful family activities, fashion shows, special retail events and discounts, celebrity and media bashes and more at Scottsdale Quarter and beyond. “It’ll culminate on the 24th with a day of fashion shows at Scottsdale Quarter,” she says. “We’ve had a really amazing response from the community and from national brands that really want to be a part of this.” The Oct. 24 lineup—available at www. fw4kids.com—will be special, the LeVines contend. A cross-section of children will be represented during the day of fashion, which will also feature celebrities and their kids strutting the runway and even professional sports mascots giving it a go. “Every hour will be a fashion show and every half hour on the hour will be entertainment pieces,” Steve says. …continues on page 40

Fashion Week 4 Kids isn’t just about what to wear. It’s about anything that and anyone who caters to children—salons, barbers, shoe stores or restaurants. “If they put a deal together, which is 15 percent or better, we can put them on the website and they can be part of the weeklong festivities,” Steve says. The LeVines work around the clock to ensure that their family events like Fashion Week 4 Kids, Rock the Block! and the Ostrich Festival come off without a hitch, like their concert series. “We never stop working,” Jamie says. “That’s the nature of the business. Being parents, being able to now bring our kids to the events we’re producing is something really great. “Instead of being gone at all of our events all the time, we can bring our kids to the events because they’re ageappropriate, really fun and really cool. The excitement level, for us, is to see the excitement from our kids. That’s just awesome.” Those moments make up for the time the LeVines spend away from family. “Jamie and I work so much together on things and so much apart,” Steve says. “She’s on the marketing and PR side, while I’m on the events side and logistics. We get home at different times. It’s not just specific to kids’ events. “The other challenge is finding what kids like. It’s not easy these days. Kids today they might like one thing today, and tomorrow it’s not cool. We have to be on top of that. “Not everything is ‘Frozen’ and sells out across the country. We’re learning from other people who do what we do in the hopes that we provide great entertainment value at the right cost.” The LeVines aren’t married to specific venues, either. They just want to make sure that events are housed in the appropriate theater, concert hall or park. “A great promoter once told me that the reason for his success is putting the right events in the right places,” Steve recalls. “We are partners of Livewire. We think it’s great. I think it’s, hands down, the best venue in the state, if not on the west coast. “We’re going to put events there that make sense—different shopping centers or parks. We’re happy with Fashion Week 4 Kids and the partnership we have with Scottsdale Quarter. If it’s anything like the casting calls we’ve had, we’re going to be in great shape.” 

Scottsdale Has Dramatic Theatrical History By Joan Fudala

hether you favor drama, comedy or musicals, Scottsdale’s theatrical performances fit every taste and in every genre. The venues change, but Scottsdale audiences remain faithful to local theatrical productions. Here are a few bits of our theatrical history: • When the red brick Scottsdale Grammar School was built in 1909 (funded by a unanimously passed $5,000 bond

issue), it included a small stage in the basement. School plays attracted parents and the community at large. Plays were also staged outdoors, with the audience sitting on the school steps and on “bring your own” chairs. • Guests of the 1910-vintage Ingleside Inn—the Scottsdale area’s first luxury resort—were transported to Echo Canyon on Camelback Mountain, where they enjoyed an outdoor “dinner

theater.” Sitting at white-clothed tables, the diners watched performances by local Native Americans. • During the 1910s and early 1920s, playwright Roy George lived and worked in Scottsdale’s 1896-vintage Adobe House. • Scottsdale High School opened for the 1922-23 school year, and soon had a Drama Club. Students staged such classics as “The Tumult” in April 1932

and “Nobody But Nancy” in 1944. Future Scottsdale Councilman and business leader Paul Messinger served as student stage manager in the late 1940s, and his classmate and future wife Cora Ross acted in school plays, according to the Scottsdale High Camelback yearbook. JoAnn Mowry Handley was also involved in school plays in the late 1940s; she’s the longtime Scottsdale Historical Museum director. • Architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his wife Olgivanna included a cabaret at their Taliesin West School of Architecture, which opened in 1937 on the foothills of the McDowells. The Wrights and the Taliesin West apprentice architects staged performances of all kinds in the cabaret, and often invited Scottsdale residents to join them for these special productions. • Beginning in the late 1940s, parishioners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help—along with artists, craftspeople and Scottsdale residents—hosted the Miracle of the Roses Pageant every December. After a procession through decorated downtown streets, youth and adult members of the OLPH congregation staged the play that was a tribute to Our

CEO Tom Zumtobel has overseen the growth of Meritus from 3,000 to 55,000 members.

ooperation is competition at Meritus, Arizona’s only nonprofit, consumer-operated health plan. Meritus’ 55,000 members do the cooperating, and for-profit health insurance companies get the competition. “I look at this as an opportunity to put some pressure on the for-profits,” says R.J. Voth, a founding member of Meritus and chairman of the board’s finance committee. One of only 24 cooperative health insurance companies in the country, Meritus was founded in 2012 with a loan funded via the Affordable Care Act. Voth, a financial adviser, found out about the loans following a talk he gave on cash flow at a physicians’ conference. “Dr. Selvoy Fillerup approached me after the talk and asked if I had ever heard of Section 1322 of the Affordable Care Act,” Voth remembers. He had to confess he had not. “‘Well, part of it has funding for nonprofit healthcare alternatives,’” Voth recalls Fillerup saying.

An investigation into the potential for a nonprofit alternative in Arizona led to the formation of a five-person board and an application for the federal loan. Meritus was the only nonprofit funded in the state. “The notion of a company owned and operated by its membership was a terrific one. We just needed to make it available to people,” Voth says. “It came together as a community effort,” says Meritus CEO Tom Zumtobel, picking up the narrative. “Individuals saw the opportunity and invested their own time and resources,” Zumtobel continues. The loan was necessary because startup costs for an insurance company are formidable. “It’s a capital-intensive business, where you need significant reserves,” Zumtobel says. Among Meritus’ immediate capital requirements were underwriters and pricing consultants. “Pricing insurance is not like pricing a car, something with a fixed cost. We have to price based on what our members’

Nonprofit is one of only 24 cooperative health insurance companies in the country

needs are and how well we can manage those needs.” In its first year, the average price of a Meritus premium came in at just over the average for Arizona. The company attracted only 3,000 members. Then Meritus hit on the idea of what Zumtobel calls “a narrow delivery system”—a smaller number of service providers in its HMO network. That lowered underwriting costs, which in turn reduced premiums, causing Meritus’ pricing to go from over-the-average to under-theaverage. Membership exploded. More than 55,000 people are now memberowners of Meritus. Next year’s target is 85,000. “We sent more business to fewer facilities so we could get contracted rates as attractive as those of the 800-pound gorilla companies,” Zumtobel explains. Meritus’ overall average premium for 2015 is $208.76. In Maricopa County, Meritus’ range is from $153 at the low end of its bronze plan, to $259 at the top of its gold plan. Prices in other Arizona counties vary, and in some counties, Meritus offers only its PPO. The HMO figures compare with a statewide average of $229 for bronze plans and $319 for gold. (Meritus’

plans are also available through the ACA Marketplace during open enrollment.) Part of the mandate attached to the ACA’s loans to nonprofit startups was the need for innovation. That’s something Meritus takes seriously, Zumtobel says. “We are the first health insurance company in this market to fully automate. All broker enrollments are automated. This industry has historically done paper enrollment. With us, it’s all online.” That not only makes it more convenient for providers, but streamlines interface between providers. “Lots of times, with paper enrollment, there’s a lag between one doctor and the next one,” Zumtobel says, resulting in the second doctor not always being current on the first doctor’s findings. Complete automation eliminates that lag. Cooperative insurance was once typical in rural areas of the country where for-profit service was either overpriced or nonexistent, Zumtobel observes. Many of those early cooperatives became mutual insurance companies. While both cooperatives and mutuals are owned by their members, a mutual’s objective is to make a profit. At a cooperative, any money left after claims and bills are

paid goes back into either lowering the premiums or enhancing benefits. Voth notes that the difference amounts to “the same dollar called something else.” “We don’t say the ‘p’ word. We call (leftover money) a ‘networking surplus,’” Voth says. Meritus is looking for more employermembers. “If an employer likes the idea of local relationships, they will like Meritus,” Zumtobel says. “All our customer care occurs locally, all our sales people are based locally, and all our service of an account is local.” The ACA funding of cooperatives nearly did not happen. Both 2008 Nobel Prize Economics Laureate Paul Krugman and former presidential adviser Robert Reich stated when ACA was passed that they did not think cooperatives would have the effect of lowering health care costs. They were wrong. For the second year in a row, states with cooperatives have had lower overall premiums than states without them. Arizona’s premiums fell 3 percent this year. 

ARCpoint Labs: Not Only a Family Business, But a Business For the Community When Tim and Jacque Terrill decided to bring the ARCpoint Labs brand to northern Scottsdale, they had two main motivations in mind. They wanted to bring a quality brand that would help them make a difference in the community, while at the same time providing a business venture that would strengthen their family bond and provide an opportunity to leave behind to their children when they were ready to retire. “After three decades grinding away with the constant traveling I was doing in the real estate industry, I wanted to stop working for someone else and find an opportunity that would allow Jacque and I to get more involved in the community and make a positive impact,” says Tim Terrill, owner of ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North which is located at 15455 North Greenway Hayden Loop in Suite C-16. “However, we were also seeking an opportunity to build a family business that we can leave behind when it’s time for us to enjoy the next chapter.” The Terrills’ ARCpoint Labs is truly a family business. Tim’s daughter, Pam, is actively involved and lends her expertise as a Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience in clinical settings. While Pam’s clinical background factored into the Terrills’ decision to bring ARCpoint Labs to northern Scottsdale, the brand and opportunity also satisfied Tim’s love of a challenge.

“ARCpoint stood out to me. It was a clean lab business and required a great deal of learning,” says Terrill. “I have to feed my mind or it feeds on me.” Growing up learning the value of hard work on his family’s farm, where he still remains actively involved, Tim Terrill obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Oklahoma as well as his Masters of Engineering Management from the University of Tulsa. After his academic career, Tim went to work in the real estate industry where over an impressive 36-year career he developed millions of square feet of buildings and tens

50 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

of thousands of acres of land, while growing organizations to over 500 staff members and serving on several non-profit boards of community and business organizations. The Terrills have called the greater Phoenix area home since 1988 and currently operate three ARCpoint Labs territories covering Scottsdale, Surprise and Avondale, taking over the territory earlier this year.

Based in Greenville, S.C., ARCpoint Labs is a full-service national thirdparty provider/administrator providing Accurate, Reliable, and Confidential drug, alcohol, DNA and steroid testing, employment/background and wellness screening and corporate wellness programs. ARCpoint Labs is nationally recognized and a member of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA) and Substance Abuse Program Administrators Association (SAPAA). The brand provides solutions to improve the safety and productivity of workplaces in the area in a timely and cost-effective manner. Drug and alcohol testing has been the cornerstone of the Terrills’ business since opening in January. They provide drug and alcohol testing services to both businesses and individual consumers in the northern Scottsdale area. The simplicity and affordability of the drug and alcohol services have made preemployment easier for local businesses. Additionally, they work with consumers who require drug testing for a variety of reasons from court-ordered drug testing to working with parents who are educating their children on the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction. More recently, the Terrills have started to offer the company’s new telehealth service, ARCpoint MD, to local businesses and residents. ARCpoint MD doesn’t count against a company’s insurance cost, which will help businesses maneuver changing regulations in healthcare while providing

a low cost and highly convenient option to employees. Because the service is done over the phone or online, it also saves employees and consumers time driving themselves or their children to the hospital or being forced to coordinate and take time off work for doctor appointments. “It’s a very low cost benefit with no consultation fees. Most telehealth programs don’t include a discount prescription card, but through ARCpoint MD, that’s something that we provide as well,” says Terrill. The flexibility and variety of services offered since opening their ARCpoint Labs business has created strong relationships with several local companies including Standing Stones Christian Academy, Hyde Park Home Health Care Professionals, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, PATH Transport, Compliance Assurance Services, Scottsdale Animal Health Care, and Fountain Hills Primary Walk-In Clinic. Community involvement is a huge part of the type of business that the Terrills run. They currently enjoy relationships with the Arizona Medical Group Management Association, Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce, Society for Human Resource Management Greater Phoenix Chapter, American Society of Safety Engineers, Associated General Contractors, as well as assisting the Sounds of Autism. Tim has also served as a guest speaker for the American Association of Professional Coders chapters in conjunction with Sounds of Autism. When not at work, the Terrills enjoy spending time with each other and being active in the beautiful outdoors of Arizona. Tim and Jacque particularly love to hike and travel to their favorite islands in Hawaii. When not spending time with the family, Pam can be found on a hiking trail, going to yoga or Zumba classes, or curled up with a good book. “We really love the northern Scottsdale area, and the community here,” said Terrill. “As we continue to work with local businesses to provide employment solutions, screening and wellness services, we hope to increasingly establish our roots here and look forward to maintaining the highest level of service available.” For more information on ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale North, visit www. ARCpointLabs.com/Scottsdale-North or call 480.939.4656.

The Doug and Siena Story A father, a daughter and a community leadership organization As told to Kim Hanna

Doug Sydnor enjoys the traditional father-daughter dance with Siena.

arents teach their kids many lessons throughout life. It’s relatively common to teach table manners, respect for others, being polite and the educational basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Community stewardship and engagement lessons are a bit more unique, and that is just what Doug Sydnor accomplished when he persuaded his daughter, Siena, to apply to Scottsdale Leadership’s Core Program.

Turning Down the Mayor

As a longtime Valley resident, Doug experienced Scottsdale Leadership as a member of Class 2 in 1988. One of his classmates was Jamie Drinkwater Buchanan, the daughter of Mayor Herb Drinkwater. One day Mayor Drinkwater called Doug and asked him to serve on the City’s Development Review Board. Doug refused the opportunity.

52 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

“I actually said ‘no’ three times as my civic involvement plate was full at the time,” Doug says. “I said I would get back to him soon. I did learn that three board positions were expiring in a few months, which did free up the calendar for the DRB...and so the call was returned and I said ‘yes.’ It was not possible to say ‘no’ to Mayor Drinkwater.” His commitment to making Scottsdale a better place has never ended. He served the community as a commissioner, president or chairman on over 30 boards and commissions. He credits some of that to the Scottsdale Leadership organization. “Scottsdale Leadership makes you so much more aware of the wide array of resources, personalities, opportunities and challenges within Scottsdale,” Doug says. “It also motivates you to step up and try to make a high-impact difference in our community.”

The Legacy Continues

Doug knew Siena would benefit from a similar course, so he encouraged her to apply to the Scottsdale Leadership Core Program. “Over recent years she was always focused exclusively on her work with its long hours; and Scottsdale Leadership would give her an opportunity to get to know the community she grew up in while meeting many other involved young professionals,” Doug says. Siena said yes to her father ’s recommendation. “Having a father that was so involved and invested in the community has really ingrained in me there is always more to learn and exponential ways to give,” Siena says. “You have to continue to seek out experiences that will help develop your talents and increase your knowledge so your skills can benefit others. Knowing where your passions lie and what you are best at is extremely important

scottsdaleleadership in engaging with and serving the community,” she says. In 2013 Siena became a graduate of Scottsdale Leadership’s Core Program and a prominent community leader representing Class 27. “I intend to continue to seek out opportunities in the community where I may be of an impact...serving on a board, chairing a day in future classes,” Siena says. “I realized by being involved I am passionate about economic development, keeping the arts alive and ensuring this is a place where future generations want to continue to live/work/play.” Siena currently serves on the Scottsdale Leadership Board of Directors and is the chairwoman of the Scottsdale Leadership Alumni Engagement Committee. She is leading the charge to develop Scottsdale Leadership events highlighting Arizona Restaurant Week, behind-the-scenes tours of major facilities, special events and more.

It’s Contagious

With such a positive experience under her belt, Siena offers advice to future Core Program potential candidates. “You will get far more out of the program than you give,” Siena says. “Be prepared to be present, interactive, passionate and open to a diverse set of people and ideas.” When asked if she would recommend Scottsdale Leadership to her children, Siena says, “Yes...when I have them! The more invested and involved you are in your community makes it a place you want to stay and improve. It is a family effort.” No one knows when Siena will become a mother but she did recently share the dance floor with her father as he ushered her off to her next stage of growing up. From being his precious little girl to his beautiful married daughter and community leader, Doug has much to be proud of in his daughter, Siena. Scottsdale Leadership’s Class 30 began its rigorous nine-month Core Program in September, joining 1,010 alumni who have gone through the program.

Weekend Jetaway Culinary Casino Classic

A sit-down with the chefs of the fundraiser By Alison Bailin Batz The who's who of Scottsdale Airpark businesses and North Scottsdale residents mingle to raise money for Elevate Phoenix.

he Scottsdale Airport will transform from a bustling transportation hub to the hottest party the Airpark has seen as it hosts the fourth annual Weekend Jetaway Culinary Casino Classic, presented by AXA Advisors Southwest, on Friday, Oct. 23. Set within one of the airport’s own private jet hangars and hosted by PGA star Tom Lehman, Weekend Jetaway will raise funds for Elevate Phoenix via an evening of music, dancing, “elevated” surprise entertainers and a dice-style game that will culminate with four lucky guests winning a luxurious twonight, three-day round-trip vacation on a private jet. And then there is the food...

56 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

This year, Weekend Jetaway will partner with the culinary geniuses at the Four Seasons Scottsdale Troon North, Capital Grill North Scottsdale, DoubleTree Resorts by Hilton Paradise Valley, Postinos, Rhythm & Wine, Jalapeno Inferno, Brio, Arcadia Tavern, SOL Cocina, The Melting Pot, El Hefe, Sprinkles, Tom’s Thumb and many more, making this event one of the best foodie fests of the fall. Tickets start at $125 and are available at www.weekendjetaway. org. Scottsdale Airpark News recently sat down with some of this year ’s Jetaway chefs to learn a little more about them, their venues and—of course—their food.

Chef Mel Mecinas, Talavera at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale Troon North

Scottsdale Airpark News: A little birdie told us you had quite the summer. What happened? Mecinas: In July, I was invited to the New York James Beard House, a storied culinary venue named after the celebrated author, educator and champion of American cuisine, to prepare a six-course menu inspired my birthplace of Oaxaca, Mexico; my formative years in southern California and my current home right here in Scottsdale. SAN: You have been a part of Jetaway since day one. Why? Mecinas: This event was conceived by a local Airpark business, takes place in an Airpark jet hangar and raises funds for

food. I get to give people what they want— and then some—every single day.

SAN: How are you keeping your brand fresh at the event as the veteran of the event? Mecinas: This year, we wanted to do something big. So, the Four Seasons team and I will be “taking over” Weekend Jetaway’s “Elevated Lounge” to offer guests a chance to experience the Four Seasons experience for themselves. Expect to sample cuisine from all of our chefs and have the chance to win a few surprises from our team.

SAN: What types of menu items are in store for guests at Capital Grill and Jetaway? Garner: While our lobster mac and cheese is life changing, the bone-in filet mignon is something special. It gives the filet— traditionally boneless—a far richer flavor that always seems to surprise people.

Chef Travis Garner, Capital Grill North Scottsdale

Scottsdale Airpark News: What do you like most about being a chef? Garner: I’ve never met anyone who hates

SAN: Can you share one cooking tip for either steak or seafood? Garner: Rest your meat! People often take a steak from the grill and immediately cut into it, then complain it is “bleeding.” Those are really the best juices—and if you wait at least 5 to 7 minutes before cutting the steak, those juices soak in, giving you an exponentially better dish.

Chef Don Molinich, DoubleTree Resorts by Hilton Paradise Valley

Scottsdale Airpark News: What—or who— inspired you to become a chef? Molinich: I owe my love of cooking to my mom and grandma, who let me hang out in the kitchen with them growing up. We hear big changes are coming to your resort menus once Jetaway is over? Molinich: In 2016, we’re planning a major $10 million renovation at the resort, including the chance to completely reimagine our restaurant options. Expect a more gastropub feel—and other surprises. SAN: What ingredients are at the top of your list right now? Molinich: Squash and apples reach their peak of perfection in October. Use them in everything this time of year.  October 2015 Scottsdale Airpark News | 57

Breathing Life into a Brand

By Rachel Sacco, President & CEO, Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau

emaining competitive and relevant in a changing travel market is vital. We can’t remain complacent because the truth is that travel has changed, and with it—the traveler. Earlier this year, the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau embarked on a brand positioning project to ensure that Scottsdale remains a desirable destination with a strong brand attracting not only our key customer segments, but also appealing to the next generation of travelers. Next fall, visitors across the country will be introduced to a fresh look for Scottsdale as the Scottsdale CVB launches a new brand. The new destination brand will clearly outline what Scottsdale offers that is uniquely different from its competitors, while focusing on what motivates visitors to book a vacation. The brand overhaul also will include the creation of a new logo for the bureau as well as an updated website, print and digital ads, a TV commercial and more.

A selection committee organized by the bureau chose STRUCK, a Salt Lake Citybased creative agency, to conduct extensive research and work alongside our marketing team to establish a brand that best conveys Scottsdale’s personality and attributes. Here are a few of the key takeaways from the research and analysis phase: Scottsdale’s ideal visitor desires getting • away from the stress of everyday life. This does not mean they seek only spa serenity or a high-octane adventure, but a combination of both. Scottsdale’s culture and history are a • definite plus, but are not a primary draw for travelers to visit. These are activities enjoyed by visitors, but not the primary reason to plan a trip. Scottsdale is a place of stirring beauty, • natural and otherwise. There is more opportunity to tap into the destination’s unique and natural beauty. • The desert is a point of differentiation for

Scottsdale: messaging and images using the desert can motivate interest when visitors see the desert as positive, inspiring and beautiful. • The current perception of Scottsdale is a relaxed, outdoor destination. This should be expanded to highlight the many activities available, and the exciting vibrancy of the area including restaurants, shopping and nightlife. The new platform will be tested among past and potential visitors to further refine the brand. The bureau, along with STRUCK, will then work to bring the new brand to life—which will be unveiled in fall 2016. I am eager to welcome in a new look and feel for the bureau’s marketing efforts. And I look forward to sharing it with you and the entire community as we work together to grow the economy and spread the message about our beautiful city. Rachel Sacco is the president and CEO of the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is responsible for marketing the Scottsdale area as a premier travel and meetings destination to national and international leisure visitors, travel agents, tour operators and meeting planners.

Doctor Empowers Patients at TriVita Wellness Center By Ken Abramczyk

ith the birth of his fourth child at age 51, Dr. Joel Mascaro knew he had to take control of his health if he wanted to witness another high school graduation. Mascaro didn’t exercise and experienced high levels of stress. Both sides of his family had heart disease. The doctor knew he had to change his lifestyle, so he took charge of his life. “I was 40 pounds overweight,” Mascaro says. “I could not see my shoes.” He started walking, increased his activity levels and lost the 40 pounds. Mascaro’s personal approach is one that meshes well with TriVita Wellness Center. Mascaro joined the staff there in midAugust to assist in the center’s mission to improve physical and emotional health and promote weight loss management of patients. Mascaro believes in TriVita’s approach of keeping all treatments for patients’ needs under one roof in a “patientcentered medical home.” He calls that focus the future of healthcare.

TriVita creates personalized wellness programs designed to improve physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Mascaro not only educates doctors as a professor of osteopathic medicine at a major medical school in Arizona, but wants to bring that knowledge and information to patients. Patients take “a pill for every ill,” Mascaro says. Sometimes prescription drugs are needed, but they aren’t necessary for every disease or condition. “They possess a very unique system here,” Mascaro says of the center with its nutritional tests, exercise room and a tranquility room. “I like that they are walking the walk, and not just talking the talk,” Mascaro says. “We’re delivering health and fixing it with less reliance on prescription medicine.” Some people tend to “just live with” their medical conditions and poor health, the doctor says. “They know how bad things were (healthwise), but you really don’t how bad you feel until you feel better.”

Dr. Joel Mascaro joined the staff at TriVita Wellness Center in August to assist in the center’s mission to improve physical health of patients and assist them with weight loss managment.

Mascaro’s weight loss was an epiphany for him when he slimmed down and reached a size 32 waist. Mascaro says physically, he can “do everything,” because he has the energy to do so.

Wellness is the Key

Medical practitioners must change the system so that it is more wellnessdriven, Mascaro says. Educating patients helps them realize that they have control over their lives and health, he says. “You educate them to empower them,” Mascaro says. Patients can develop and attain “a maximum state of health.” That empowerment begins the day the patient walks in the door. Mascaro directs the patient’s attention to his or her specific health condition, such as secondary diabetes. “You ask, ‘Why did you acquire it?’ They might say that they gained 50 or 90 pounds, and say ‘I don’t work out,’” the doctor says. TriVita educates the patients so that their lives are extended or “postpone the inevitable,” Mascaro says.

Stationary ellipticals, treadmills and bikes line the walls in one of the center's rooms.

Many men suffer from low testosterone. Sometimes an increase in testosterone also can lead to increased estrogen, which if left unchecked, can result in these men growing breasts. These levels need to be examined and adjusted, Mascaro says. “We balance that with actual substances to lower the estrogen levels,” Mascaro says. When the body is balanced, it will take care of itself. Mascaro says his health pyramid includes exercise on the bottom as a foundation. Other pieces of Mascaro’s pyramid include diet and nutrition, supplementation, stress relief and sleep with the pyramid topped with “a hot fudge sundae with nuts,” because “if you’ve done all of these things, then you deserve it,” Mascaro says. TriVita also can check micronutrient levels of patients, including vitamins like B12, and minerals like magnesium, zinc and selenium. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress functions of the immune system, which can contribute to the overall condition of one’s health and diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Scottsdale’s Best Car Wash & BBQ

Fixing Health

Mascaro says this wellness approach follows the same philosophy he learned in the 1960s when he studied osteopathic medicine. “Find it, fix it, follow it,” the doctor says. “When the question is asked, ‘Why are you in trouble?’ it puts the onus of responsibility on the patient,” Mascaro says. Patients think about what they can be doing to improve their health. “You have reflect on what your problems are.” Examining the numbers from tests will allow an assessment of how to best mitigate drugs, but the doctor works to give patients that confidence they need to step forward and take control of their health. “People will say ‘I never realized how bad I felt until I was feeling better,’” Mascaro says. “The key is I have a distinct philosophy on how medicine should be practiced,” Mascaro says. “Self-awareness is the key.”  TriVita Wellness Center 16100 N.

Editor's Note:

n each issue of the Airpark News, we get up close and personal with Airpark business owners to learn more about their particular operating environment and how they see the future of their business shaping up. Airpark businesses come in a variety of shapes and sizes. This feature is designed to present a cross section of those companies, meet the key people involved and help you get to know the Airpark business community better.

Scottsdale Airpark News: How is business going relative to last year? Michael Aurit: Every month, we see higher numbers of spouses retaining our divorce mediation services. As more people become aware that they can avoid a divorce court war, and the high financial and emotional costs that come with it, more are choosing the divorce mediation process instead of litigation. High-profile celebrities choosing divorce mediation—most recently Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck—have helped create awareness that spouses can choose to have a healthier and more respectful divorce. SAN: What kinds of plans for growth can you share that might give insight into some of the other things happening in your industry? Aurit: Many people believe that mediation must take place at the beginning of the divorce process. However, The Aurit Center for Divorce Mediation understands the trend of spouses wanting to enter mediation after their divorce to resolve later disputes regarding their children. We now offer “child custody mediation,” also known as “parenting mediation.” After divorce, when disputes arise over the parenting issues, parents can resolve them without court and more affordably in postdivorce modification mediation. Parents are far more satisfied with mediated results and the process is better for children’s psychological health. SAN: Are you planning to do any hiring in the next six months? Aurit: We work with many professionals who become essential resources for our clients in mediation. Financial advisers, accountants, attorneys business appraisers and therapists are professionals we routinely connect our clients with and

engage in the mediation process to help support fair and full divorce agreements. For example, we maintain a list of preferred attorneys who act as legal advisers for our clients in between mediation sessions. They do not charge a retainer to give legal advice, so it is an incredible resource. We also maintain a list of preferred therapists to connect clients with for marriage closure, individual, or child counseling. We are now looking to expand our professional referral network beyond Scottsdale, so that our resources for clients are equally robust in the East and West Valley. We are also always looking to continue partnering with Scottsdale professionals and businesses. SAN: How optimistic are you about the economy getting better in the next year? Aurit: As a mediator, I am always very optimistic. SAN: What is one thing about your business you believe other businesspeople in the Airpark would be surprised to know? Aurit: When spouses choose to enter divorce mediation before filing for divorce, chances are overwhelmingly high that they will become divorced without ever entering a courtroom. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps spouses reach agreements on all divorce issues. Our firm will then draft and file the divorce judgment, which contains terms that spouses retained complete control over. That way, spouses remain out of court, and reach satisfactory, sometimes creative agreements that meet their needs. People are also surprised to learn that unlike litigation, mediation is entirely confidential and private— protected by Arizona law. It makes sense that celebrities entering divorce mediation. More spouses are choosing mediation for the privacy protections.

SAN: What are some of the challenges faced by your industry and how is your company working to overcome them? Aurit: The biggest obstacle for the mediation industry is that people aren’t aware that mediation exists as a better alternative to litigation in court. When spouses hear about it, most believe it is the best way forward. Our greatest challenge is to educate Arizona communities about the great benefits of mediation so that more people take advantage of it. We are taking the concept of divorce mediation to the people of Arizona. Though various media platforms we are directly reaching those who need our services. We are also engaging financial experts, mental health professionals, religious clergy and business leaders to put mediation on their radar. Those in a position to refer clients to mediation can become heroes by relaying the information, and will make a positive impact on families facing divorce. We offer a free workshop for local businesses that explains the process of mediation and conflict resolution techniques. Workshops are conducted at your place of business, or at our Scottsdale Center offices located at the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess. Who is a role model in business whom you look up to? Aurit: I look up to my dad, Ira Aurit, whose website development and hosting company has called the Scottsdale Airpark home for more than 25 years. He has always been creative, resourceful and willing to try new things in business. Glad to have him rooting us on. SAN: What are your business goals over the next 12 months? Aurit: Our goals are to keep growing and stay focused on the work we care deeply about. 

how'sbiz? NICK VALLARIO, Branch Manager, Evergreen Home Loans

Editor's Note:

•Y ear company was founded: 1987 • Years in the Scottsdale Airpark: Our Scottsdale office opened two years ago, and we moved to the Airpark area about 1 1/2 years ago. • Number of employees: We have more than 480 associates across the company and seven associates in the Scottsdale branch. • Industry: Evergreen is a full-service direct mortgage lender with offices throughout the Western United States. We have full agency approvals with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. For almost three decades, Evergreen has served local neighborhoods with affordable home loan products while focusing exclusively on home lending. • Annual revenue: We are a private company and do not disclose.

Scottsdale Airpark News: How is business going relative to last year? Nick Vallario: This year has been great. The housing market is steady, which equates to healthy, and that is good for everyone. We continue to see an increase in referrals from our real estate partners as they realize we help deliver on time and as promised for their clients. Our repeat business is a testament to how our loan officers take care of our customers and, hopefully, make them customers for life. SAN: What kinds of plans for growth can you share that might give insight into some of the other things happening in your industry? Vallario: We are certainly looking to grow the Scottsdale office. Home sales for our area are steady and interest rates continue to stay low, so it’s provided a good opportunity for people to get into new homes. As we grow our office, we’re also looking to expand farther into the Valley. SAN: Are you planning to do any hiring in the next six months? Vallario: Yes, we are in the midst of hiring more loan officers for our Scottsdale office. We’re seeking quality loan officers with a shared belief in taking care of customers with the highest integrity. SAN: How do you find it best to recruit new team members in this age of technology? Vallario: Our focus is always on the customer, so we want loan officers who put the customers first and go out of their way to make their home buying experiences good ones. We understand that purchasing a home is one of the biggest moments in a person’s life, so

we want to make it an enjoyable and seamless process. SAN: How optimistic are you about the economy getting better in the next year? Vallario: I’m very optimistic. We know the housing market is getting strong when more Millennials are ready to purchase first homes and, despite reports that Millennials are continuing to rent, we’re consistently getting calls from young people ready to buy. This tells me faith is being restored in the housing market, and as the housing market goes, so goes the Arizona economy. SAN: What is one thing about your business you believe other business people in the Airpark would be surprised to know? Vallario: While Evergreen Home Loans is somewhat new to the Airpark and the Phoenix metro marketplace, our staff and loan officers have been here for many years. We know the marketplace, the real estate agents and the title companies very well. In fact, our combined experience within my office is well over 85 years. When you combine that with the uniquely tailored products Evergreen Home Loans offers, it makes for a great customer experience. SAN: What are some of the challenges faced by your industry and how is your company working to overcome them? Vallario: The housing meltdown of 2008 created a ton of legislation and oversight. While well intended, it forced the pendulum to the other side of the spectrum. This means borrowers have to substantiate all the information in their application and deal with a maelstrom of rules and regulations. The only way

to “wow” the customer is to constantly improve your systems and continue to reinvent and make a better mousetrap. Our senior management encourages all associates to offer input and better yet, they listen. We cannot change legislation, however, we can and do educate and work hard to provide our customers with a “wow” customer experience each and every time. SAN: Who is a role model in business whom you look up to? Vallario: At this time, I look to the president of our company, Don Burton. He started Evergreen on his own, and he has built it into a fantastic company. He successfully navigated all the highs and lows associated with a business completely dependent on the economy. He obtained agency approvals well before most of his competition, he stayed the course financially and he positioned Evergreen to grow in a healthy fashion while many others are struggling to survive. All the while, he created a culture the associates love. I could call him right now and he would pick up if he were available. It sounds easy, but I know from personal experience it is not. SAN: What are your business goals over the next 12 months? Vallario: Continue to do what we are doing. Slowly but surely the real estate community is beginning to understand not only the quality of our company, but the people who make the company. Growth will come naturally. People want to be associated with and work for great companies. We’re are committed to the Valley of the Sun and the state of Arizona, and we intend to be here for many years to come.  October 2015 Scottsdale Airpark News | 65

Understand the Unspoken Rights of Tenants

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

ecause tenants and landlords have opposing economic objectives, it is vital that each side understand its rights and take reasonable and prudent steps to protect these rights. The following is a brief summary of the unspoken rights of tenants.

No. 1: Know what concessions can be negotiated.

A concession is any deviation from the property owner’s advertised lease rate. Commercial leases contain numerous variables that affect the overall cost of occupancy, and can include such items as the lease term, the initial rental rate and escalations, free rent period, tenant improvement allowance, warranties, operating expenses, options to expand or

extend, the leasable area and others.

No. 2: Know where the best deals can be found.

Not all property owners have the same urgency to lease space. A particular landlord’s willingness to grant concessions can vary from week to week. Generally speaking, the best deals are struck when the tenant has, or is perceived to have, multiple choices and landlords are forced to compete for the tenant’s revenue stream.

No. 3: Know who protects your interests (and who does not).

Property managers and real estate agents who list properties are de facto employees of the property owner and have a fiduciary duty to protect their client’s

IN T R O D U CIN G

interests, not the tenant’s. Because they are the eyes and ears of the landlord, be wary about disclosing any information about your businesses circumstances that may serve to dilute your negotiating leverage.

No. 4: Have competent, unbiased representation.

Your choice of representatives largely determines which properties you are exposed to, the price you will pay, the concessions you will receive and the overall quality of the negotiations.

No. 5: Get value from the commission.

Most commercial leases include a commission that is split between the agents or advisers who represent each party. Therefore, having a seasoned advocate on your side to protect your interests generally costs you nothing.  Stephen A. Cross, CCIM, owns CROSS Commercial Realty Advisors. Since 1984 he has advised over 2,700 business owners, attorneys, physicians, facility executives and corporate decision-makers on ways to lease and purchase property at the lowest cost and most favorable terms.

OCTOBER Business Horoscopes By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA “The Valley’s Astrologer” Whether you’re a small-business owner or have other career aspirations, insights into how the planets influence your work month can help you plan for maximum performance and project success. ARIES 3/21-4/19 You’ll get by with a little help from your friends, including your work associations and professional groups. Emphasis is on cooperation and compromise with a bit of competition to keep you on your toes. Any unfinished business should be concluded by Oct. 9; if not, let it go. New offers arrive with the new moon period (Oct. 13 to Oct. 27). Expect an increase in expenditures by Oct. 28.

happen quickly. Mercury is still holding back until Oct. 10. Some pending matters may try your patience. Communications improve dramatically with the new moon, which always introduces some sort of change. Schedule important meetings or presentations for a later date. The last week is excellent for working on a business or financial expansion.

TAURUS 4/20-5/20 This month may bring you some recognition and rewards—a raise or promotion—and potential for renewal. Deal with any mundane minor tasks, so you can concentrate on the social side of October’s variety of interests. Advice: Make an effort to socially extend yourself. Those one-on-one experiences can make the months ahead more productive.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 The most progressive month of this year finally arrives. A rapid growth in the health industry, healing arts and advanced technology will produce many new jobs in the months ahead. You can begin seeking a job or career change this month. Working Virgos can expect a monetary surprise. All work and no play makes for a quick burnout. What’s the cure? Try a new restaurant.

GEMINI 5/21-6/21 A long-term trend begins in which you can build a more secure rapport with clients. October introduces you to some work-life changes. Your likeability factor and your way with words and ideas make you a great communicator and salesperson. No other month this year can offer so much to do, so put your talents to good use.

LIBRA 9/23-10/23 You are where you should be this month. You excel in public relations. October’s patterns favor negotiations of all kinds, interrelating with others and forming partnerships. Charitable events and social functions are frequent. It is an ideal month for networking, so underline the weekends starting on Oct. 2 and ending the weekend of Oct. 24.

CANCER 6/22-7/22 Any services, products and legal issues related to home and family are emphasized and in demand. The first few weeks suggest a “busy-ness” and social interaction will be emphasized. Notice employee efforts and strengthen your connections. Your office or place of work may become your home away from home for a bit.

SCORPIO 10/24-11/21 When a planet goes retro, it almost always indicates a correction in the stock market. Mercury will stay retro until Oct. 10. Hold off on making any long-term agreements or pricy purchases you don’t need. Your career/work/personal area will usher in a new cycle of action and start to move forward by midmonth. A significant decision could be made at month’s end.

LEO 7/23-8/22 Some business faces delays. That “go-ahead” signal may not

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 Did you start a new job, or open a business or form

68 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2015

a partnership? If you are starting a new job or profession, then expect to take special classes or receive training. If you are opening a business, it will take about two years to get it securely established. If you're forming a partnership, it can be a bit “testy.” Put your energy into promoting yourself this month. You’ll learn a lot about yourself. CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 The first 10 days or so move at a slow pace. Things may not happen as expected, including legal issues. For the next month your focus turns away from personal concerns. You are feeling more adventurous. Take time to meet with fellow associates. You are attracted to anything that broadens your experience. AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 You are people oriented and excel at dealing with groups and organizations. People will notice you, so group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals this month. A work change, around midmonth, stands a better chance of success. Business developments around Oct. 24 look extremely favorable. Take time out, relax and enjoy October’s festivities. PISCES 2/19-3/20 You may be promoted or get a new job. Seek out cooperation from others on a more social “one-on-one” level so you’ll have many chances to make it happen. Pisces excels in medical fields or services, but also in the artistic and creative fields. Good news on finances can be expected this month. For your very own personal six-month forecast, recorded by Weiss on a CD, contact weissastro@aol.com or 480-600-7424.

A Good Credit History Does Not Equal a Good Credit Score

By Rod Dennis

any customers are shocked when I pull their credit report and find their score lower than expected or the score has dropped significantly, even though there are no derogatory payments on the credit report. A good credit history does not necessarily translate to a good credit score. Credit scoring systems look for much more than a good payment history when determining a score. Besides late payments, many other factors come into play when determining the credit score. One factor that a consumer can control and quickly change to likely positively impact the score is the balance on revolving credit, known as “proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving credit.”

Too High of a Balance on a Card

Proportion of balances to the credit limits on revolving credits references the percentage of the credit card’s maximum limit that is currently borrowed. For example, a $10,000 card with a $10,000 current balance is at 100 percent usage and will significantly negatively impact a score. The same $10,000 borrowed on a $40,000 card is only at 25 percent usage and will have little impact on a credit score. That same $10,000 spread out over several cards can offer the same advantage.

‘What if’ and Credit Analysis Simulators

Sometimes we can show a customer how to make changes in the way they

have money borrowed to improve their credit scores. With proper guidance and implementation, dramatic changes can take place even while a loan transaction is in process. Credit companies offer automated systems that allow mortgage advisers to input various scenarios to see how changes in credit structure can impact a score. Perhaps the borrower has $5,000 additional cash that is not needed for the home purchase transaction. The simulators will suggest where to utilize the cash to improve a score. Perhaps paying down a portion of each card will produce the best result. These systems can predict the score improvement with a relatively high degree of accuracy.

therealdeal Rescoring

While it is ideal to have credit structured right before taking application for a mortgage, it is possible to make quick adjustments as described above to raise a score. Once a plan is in place, several steps must take place for the credit companies to actually obtain a new score. The obligations must be paid down and proof of the new balances must be documented and confirmed. Then the information is sent to the credit reporting companies so they can issue a new score. Documenting where the funds came from to make the changes also may be required by the lender.

Improve the Loan Terms

A change of just a few points can mean the difference between approval and rejection, or possibly receiving a lower interest rate or fees offer, therefore saving thousands of dollars. Mortgage guidelines and rates change typically based on multiples of 20. In other words, 680 to 699, 700 to 719, 720 to 739, and then 740 and up. If there is a chance to move to

If it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you! - Fred DeVito

the next level, ask the mortgage adviser what impact the change can make on the qualification or pricing of the loan. Then ask for a credit score evaluation to see if there is a viable option to improve the score.

It Still Takes Time

Going through a rescore is not an easy task for the consumer, the credit company or the lender. Start the evaluation early to allow for several business days for the changes to be made. Once the score is improved, several steps must be taken to make the changes with the pricing and redisclosure process. 

Global Trade is Crashing; Are Markets Next? Are gains without losses really possible? By Thomas K. Brueckner

s we approach the end of 2015, our aging bull market faces a myriad of challenges. It’s overvalued, unnaturally subsidized by an enabling Federal Reserve, and the artificial quality of its earnings is being driven less by booming sales than by stock buy-backs, outsourcing and wage stagnation. Companies have bought back their own stock with money raised by issuing their own bonds, leaving them rife with cash, coupled with debt that they have to service as well as pay back. A stagnant global economy is begging Janet Yellen’s Fed to proceed slowly with “interest rate normalization,” because “when America sneezes, Europe (and now Japan and especially China) catches the flu.” After six and a half years without a bear market,

individual investors face some statistical challenges as Wall Street’s jitters over China clearly demonstrate. One canary in the coal mine indicating that global trade is in free fall came in September when Reuters reported that the cost of container freight from Asia to Europe had dropped a staggering 60 percent in only three weeks. If Asia (China) is the factory and Europe is the warehouse, clearly the latter is full, little is moving in the way of inventory (consumer spending), and those who ship between them have diminished demand and are slashing their freight rates to the bone to attract business. Conditions last seen in early 2000 and late 2007; fear and panic selling in emerging markets, record levels of margin debt, and fund managers with record equity

exposure, all bode poorly for those trying to convince themselves that the coming “correction” will be shallow and short-lived. At the Fed, Yellen and her colleagues are simply trying to buy time, hoping the world economy improves soon enough to prevent the inevitable. It’s a colossal gamble on a massive scale with unthinkable consequences if it fails. Logic, experience and common sense should dictate that if “buy low, sell high” is the watch phrase of investing, now would be an opportune time to take some profits, and perhaps move to the sidelines. The older you are, the less tolerance you have for risk. As we often ask new prospects who present with both sufficient assets for a sustainable retirement and age-inappropriate risk

financialfundamentals exposure: “If you’ve already won the game, why are you still out on the field?” So where do such investors go? Our most popular holding is a savings platform first developed by insurance companies in the mid-‘90s called a fixed index annuity. FIAs credit market-linked interest (like a CD) during years when the indices (S&P 500, DJIA, etc.) advance—while retaining such gains amid a sell-off or meltdown the following year. FIAs protected their owner’s account balances magnificently during both the 51 percent “Tech Wreck” sell-off in 2000 through 2002, and again during the 57 percent decline that followed the Subprime Mortgage and Financial Crisis in 2007 through 2009. Indeed, they have grown so much in popularity that some of the brokerage firms that once maligned them have recently partnered with the companies that developed them, for the benefit of their more risk-averse clients. Employing the simplicity and genius of time-tested hedging via the use of options, FIA firms guarantee: a) their client’s original principal, b) any bonus monies credited (in exchange for a longer enrollment), as well as c) each year’s market-linked interest gains against losses. Like an ever-rising tide leaving a new high-water mark, an FIA owner will only see their account value grow or hold, only declining when they take a withdrawal. While they’ll never again hit a market home run, they’ll hit a lot of singles, doubles and occasional triples, while never losing the retirement game. Regulators, CFPs and actuaries have long maintained that the older an investor gets, and the further into a sustainable retirement, the less risk he or she should be taking. Working with an adviser who is highly experienced in these vehicles, and getting market-linked interest of 3 to 9 percent (we’ve even seen credits of over 20 percent during banner years) knowing there will be no loss of those gains to another massive sell-off, makes many a contented retiree sleep very well at night. Whatever Janet Yellen or China’s central banking elite have up their economic sleeve in the next two years, the reality of a stagnant world economy will eventually overtake the euphoric fantasy that was 2015. The only question is whether you’ll have protected yourself this time.  Thomas K.
