VEGETABLES
Although we’re still a half a year away from fall, you can start planting your own personal pumpkin patch right now. It takes between 80-125 days for pumpkins to grow, and a properly cured pumpkin can be stored for another two to three months. Get started this month and come October you’ll have pumpkins on the table and jack-o-lanterns on your porch. This will really set the mood as you crack open a can of pumpkin pie filling and sip your pumpkin spice latte.
FLOWERS
If you want to be big on Pinterest, plant sunflowers. They grow quickly, get crazy tall, and photograph better than a Kardashian bathroom selfie. Sunflowers do great in the Arizona sun, and look good in your yard or as a quirky centerpiece on your kitchen table. Plus, you can chew and spit the seeds like a major league baseball player. Pro tip: For best results, capture your seed-spitting moments using the slo-mo feature on your iPhone.
PLANTS
Want a beautiful garden that doubles as a privacy screen between you and Mr. Creepy McPeeperton next door? Try planting Hollyhock. These sun-loving green plants grow up to 9 feet high and produce pretty flowers of varying colors. Much nicer to look at than a cheesy mustache peering over a cinder block wall.
HERBS
Basil is another Phoenix favorite for amateur chefs and gardeners alike. It can handle the desert heat, smells fantastic, and gives you an ongoing fresh crop for making pesto or giving a flavor boost to Italian cuisine. Plus, if you were smart enough to have planted tomatoes a couple of months ago, you’re 2/3 of the way toward fresh caprese salad. Just try serving that to your uppity frenemy without acting smug—it’s impossible!
ALTERNATIVE
If you’re looking to get the party started, you’re out of luck. Despite the loosening of Arizona’s laws, it’s still illegal to grow the Mary Jane within 25 miles of a state licensed dispensary. Take it someplace else, hippie. MAY 2016

Lease Renewal Options A well-crafted lease agreement should include a renewal option that establishes the rate and terms. By Stephen A. Cross RENEWAL OPTION is a provision in the original lease that gives the tenant the right, but not the obligation, to extend the lease beyond the initial term. As a tenant’s advocate, I consider this provision to be an essential element in a well-crafted lease agreement, principally because it gives the tenant control of whether or not they remain in the space. In my experience, landlords are generally agreeable to granting renewal options and most will do so at no cost. However, care must be taken during the initial lease negotiations to structure a formula that will be used to establish not only the future rental rates, but also relevant terms and conditions for the extension period(s). Simply agreeing that the option rental rate will be the “market rate” is vague and open to interpretation. A more reasoned approach would be to stipulate that the option rental rate will be a composite of terms and conditions being offered in comparable buildings in the general vicinity for like tenants, including commonly available leasing incentives. Leasing incentives are anything the tenant perceives as having value, and may include a contract rate below the asking rate; free rent; a moving allowance; tenant improvements; free covered parking; a death and/or disability provision; an early termination clause; brokerage expenses and that additional renewal options be transferrable to an assignee of the lease. Perhaps the best way to establish the true “market rate” is to solicit written lease proposals from multiple sources. This will serve to objectively clarify market conditions and strengthen the tenant’s negotiating position by creating beneficial competition for the tenancy. Of note is that this should be accomplished four to nine months prior to the lease expiration date. In closing, tenants should be mindful that their rent payments represent a revenue stream to the landlord. It is costly for landlords to replace a quality tenant and most do not want to face the prospect of an indeterminate period of vacancy (i.e., an interruption of revenue). Therefore, tenants have significant leverage in setting forth the terms of renewal options, but only if done before the initial lease is signed. MAY 2016

Zero 2 Hero Zerorez of Phoenix brings empowered water and a philanthropic mindset to Deer Valley. By Shelby Ray
ONE OF THE fastest growing and most successful cleaning businesses in Arizona got its start in—of all places—a couple’s garage. “I know, a garage is not what comes to mind when you think clean,” laughs Casey Ashdown, who started what is today Zerorez of Phoenix in his garage in 2004 with his wife, Jamie. “It was a very different kind of place to launch an office, but we wanted to be a very different kind of cleaning company.” Casey first got into the idea of launching Zerorez in the Valley from his brother, who worked for a Zerorez sister franchise in another state. “Unlike traditional carpet cleaning companies that use a method of hot water extraction using soaps, detergents, and harsh chemicals that get left behind in the carpet fibers, we saw firsthand how Zerorez used this ‘Empowered Water,’ a waterbased, non-toxic cleaning agent that leaves no soil-attracting
20 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || MAY 2016
residue behind,” says Casey. He couldn’t believe no one had launched the concept in Arizona and jumped at the chance, even if it did mean converting his garage into their first “Arizona headquarters,” so he brought in his brother-in-law Nathan Perrins as a partner and to assist with marketing. “Thankfully, we weren’t the only ones who liked the idea of this Empowered Water. After being able to launch our first established facility in Gilbert, we were so proud to expand into Deer Valley in March 2014,” says Casey. “Moving into the area really allowed us to alleviate some of the commuting hardship that our employees living in the North Valley experienced as they traveled back and forth. Now, 17 members of our team are working out of the Deer Valley location and doing a fantastic job at servicing the North Valley. Zerorez growth under Casey and Nathan over the past decadeplus has not been just swift, but responsible. “We didn’t want to just add bodies to our business and we didn’t just want to provide service to communities, then be done with them until next time,” says Casey. “So, we made a conscious effort to find ways to give back, not to mention ways for our rapidly expanding team to work together for the greater good.” One of the most effective programs they put into place is the Rezoteer Volunteer Program. “The Rezoteer Volunteer Program provides our Zerorez staff

and their family members a way to get involved with volunteer projects in their local communities and to share in the benefits of giving back alongside their co-workers,” says Nathan. Casey and Nathan also developed Zero 2 Hero Program, which helps to raise critical funds for organizations serving children throughout the Valley. “Spring was big for Zero 2 Hero. Through a fundraising program, we raised nearly $6,000 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital,” says Casey. “Altogether, we’ve been able to collect a total of $26,000 for PHC over the past five years, with all the funds being used to directly impact research and care for the children at the hospital.” For Casey and the Zerorez team, many of whom are fathers and mothers themselves, the cause is especially personal. “One of my daughters was born at just 24 weeks, weighing only 1 pound and 10 ounces. I have seen firsthand the tireless work that doctors, nurses, and the rest of the staff at Arizona’s amazing hospitals do each and every day,” says Casey. “The fact that we can—even in just this small way—help these heroes and their tiny patients is among the proudest accomplishments of being small business owners in this community.” “My son was diagnosed with Ewin Sarcoma about six years ago. This event changed the course of our lives dramatically, but Phoenix Children’s Hospital has been so compassionate and understanding,” says Jamey Mason, executive administrator for Zerorez of Phoenix. “Without the support from the hospital’s staff, our family would have been lost.” A 2015 Better Business Bureau Ethics Award Winner for work like this, today the business has more than 70 employees and 31 vans Valleywide.
“The fact that we can—even in just this small way—help these heroes and their tiny patients is among the proudest accomplishments of being small business owners in this community.” — CASEY ASHDOWN

THE WINNER
BILLY IDOL Q: How old is he? A: 13 weeks old Q: What breed is he? A: Ragdoll Q: Where did you get him? A: We had our first litter of ragdolls in January and he quickly became my sons’ favorite. Q: How did you happen to bring him into your home? A: A year and a half ago, my daughter was given a ragdoll kitten. We ended up breeding her with a friend’s cat of the same breed (family science project) and had a lovely litter of five kittens. We kept two kittens from that litter including Billy Idol. Q: Does he have any unique characteristics? A: Ragdolls are typically born all white and develop their color and markings over several years. Billy Idol has changed from pure white wedding to a multi-color ivory/ peach/grey in just 13 weeks. Q: Does he have any unique personality traits? A: His purr is insanely loud and has been since about 1 week old. Rebel Meow! Q: How has your household changed since you brought him home? A: We have always been a pet household. Actually we are more of a farm in the city mentality. Taking care of animals and specifically caring for an animal through pregnancy, labor, birth, and bringing up young has been an experience I wish more people could have. It helped our family to slow things down and really be at home and in the moment with each other. We all lived it together. It was pretty good family bonding, not to mention learning opportunities for kids and parents.
The Cain family children, Jonah (9), Gwen (11), and Phoebe (7), with their kitten Billy Idol.
Q: Do you have any other pets? How do they respond to him? A: Keeping up our farm life includes a horse, three dogs, mommy cat and kittens, old lady cat, frogs, and fish. All coexist very peacefully and fall into their role without much effort. Treat others (humans and creatures) how you want to be treated really is the theme. We believe we are blessed to care for some of God’s creatures and appreciate what they add to our family. The dogs are great kitten herders and do some grooming when mamma cat is tired. Also their tails provide hours of kitten entertainment. Old lady cat just gives the kittens her “side-eye” and they know to leave her alone. Animal instincts are remarkable and they are smart. Q: How does Bill Idol respond to human family members? A: The ragdoll breed is well known for its dog-like personality and mellow attitude. Billy Idol is completely that. He always greets you and is always happy to snuggle or play. He is a true companion but incredibly lazy. He tucks my son in nightly with an hour-long snuggle time before he begins his 10 p.m. rock star life.
Our second 85085 Cutest Pet Contest proved once again that pet owners are an avid bunch. We received oodles of adorable submissions and you, 85085 readers, got to pick the winner. This time around, a cat nabbed the top spot. We can’t wait to see the pets entered next year, but until then and without further ado, meet 2016’s top cat, Billy Idol. 85085 Magazine sat down with his "mom" Jennifer Cain to learn more about this cutie.

THE RUNNER-UP
WILEY
Wiley, a 3-year-old Maltipoo, came in a very close second in this year’s contest. Readers might recognize Wiley’s “mom” Lori Burt, the owner of the 2015 cutest pet winner, Emmie. Lori entered Wiley in this year’s contest to bring attention to a very serious issue that not a lot of folks know about—dog fighting bait dogs. Below, Lori explains how she came to adopt Wiley after he was used as a bait dog. By Lori Burt
A local judge just finished convicting a dog-fighting ringleader for the second time. I offered to take a surviving dog to see if I could save him, rather than letting him get euthanized. When I met him, he was emaciated and his underside was all raw wounds. When I gently picked the dog up, he groaned an awful sound that I can still hear; he was in horrible pain. I immediately took the dog to my vet. After his first surgery, the vet brought him out to me, and the vet, her assistant, and I all stood there and cried. This particular dog-fighting ring hung bait dogs in wire cages from trees. Rings will also tie them up, so that they can't get away from the game dogs. Small dogs are often used to test a game dog’s fighting instinct.
The Next Chapter
The dog had no name and it needed to represent survivorship, and relate to his tenacity and bravery. His name, Wiley, came from the cartoon Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner, which features Wile E. Coyote, a character that survives whatever’s thrown his way. As I cared for Wiley, he became very attached. He would just lay there when I put medicine on his wounds three times a day. My original intention was to get him better, and give him to a loving home. I couldn’t. He finally felt settled, so why would I
28 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || MAY 2016
disrupt his life again? Observing Wiley, I realized that he previously never saw ground other than a wire cage or concrete. You would think with the trauma Wiley went through, that he would be aggressive. He is not.
His Personality
Wiley is a little clown. He will run back and forth the length of the house over and over with a toy in his mouth, and he will throw his toy in the air, and see where it falls to go fetch it. Also, when he wants something, he does every trick he knows.
Wiley’s Cause
I’d never heard of a bait dog until
Wiley, so I assume many other people haven’t either. A bait dog can be any dog. It could be your dog. Although they mostly use non-aggressive pit bulls, dog-fighting rings will use anything they can get their hands on. They are well known for stealing other people's pets. They will take them right out of your yard! Always keep an eye on your dog! That's why it is “Wiley’s cause,” to bring awareness of the terrible acts of dog fighting. Wiley shows every day, "The mere sense of living is joy enough.” He appreciates every minute of his precious life. Wiley ran in this contest to create awareness, and came in second place, but he is still a winner—and survivor!
THE THIRDPLACE FINISHER
GIZMO
The third-place finisher is Gizmo, a 9-year-old Maltese/ Yorkshire terrier whose “mom,” Cathy Forbes, entered her in the contest. “When my daughter, Rachel, was a teenager she fell in love with Gizmo so we adopted her into our family when she was 6 weeks old. When Rachel left for college, Gizmo stayed home with me and we became best buddies,” says Cathy. Gizmo is very playful and loves to chew on rawhide bones and get frequent belly rubs. She also loves to play fetch with her favourite toy, a soccer ball named Wilson. “Gizmo is very loving and greets everyone when they come to our house and is always super excited to have visitors. She will run up to you and kiss your chin and then she immediately rolls over for a belly rub,” says Cathy.

Sweet Celebration A springtime party brings a classic children’s tale to life. By Kimberly Hufford Photos by YTW Photography
SPRING IS HERE! It’s such a beautiful time of year to throw a party outdoors. So when it came time to plan a special first birthday, we brought the event outside to the backyard for a sweet celebration. The Hungry Caterpillar by author Eric Carle is one of my alltime favorite children’s books. This colorful theme was the perfect backdrop for our party. We had so much fun bringing this story to life in a bright setup. Keeping with the spring theme and storyline, we created a garden feel with a sweets table filled lots of fruits and veggies, along with some delicious sweets. When hosting a party for little ones, make your menu kid friendly with foods kids can carry around with them. One example is to use clear plastic cups, fill the bottom with ranch dressing, and place carrot and celery sticks on top for dipping. You can also make fruit kabobs, which make a tasty and light treat. They’re es-

You can find these in the freezer section at any grocery store. Make sure you don’t the forget juice boxes. For activities, we kept it simple with a bounce house and a caterpillar tunnel. I also love using a bubble machine at first birthday parties. These are super cute and always a hit. You can find them in the toy section at Target for $10.

Moves like Jagger Chef Matthew Grunwald combines dancing and cooking for a delightful mix. 38 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || MAY 2016
Cooking is all about personality and the expression of freedom. I find that dancing and cooking are very similar because for me, they have the same capacity to create whatever emotion I’m feeling. Giving who you are to either of the arts is required. Why? Anyone can cook a recipe or dance to choreography, but when you add your own flair, it truly becomes a unique art that describes who you are and what you’re all about.
Myths dead skin. Some are available over the counter. The more effective ones require a prescription. An acne-spot-treatment product will kill bacteria that cause pimples and help stop new ones from forming. Recommendation: Neutrogena’s On-theSpot Acne Treatment, $5.99; SkinMedica’s Acne Treatment Lotion, $52 • Prescription medications: There are several prescription products available to treat your acne. The topical antibiotic clindamycin helps fight bacteria in the skin; so does tetracycline, another antibiotic, taken orally. These are better discussed with your dermatologist. • High-tech solutions: Laser and intense pulsed-light treatments mainly target pigmentation left from previous pimples, but blue-light therapy treatments kill acne-causing bacteria. These treatments are costly, though, so explore your other options first.
Acne Myth 1: Eating chocolate and drinking soda gives you acne. Research on the idea that chocolate and caffeine cause acne isn’t conclusive. Some studies have suggested that milk products might influence acne because of the presence of hormones and bacteria in the milk. But the data isn’t that strong, and I don’t want to recommend that an individual cut out milk when there are important benefits that it provides. Acne Myth 2: Moisturizers cause breakouts. Controlling problematic skin is all about balance. As I stated earlier, moisture is essential to healthy skin. If you break out after using a moisturizer or any other product, chances are that the product is not truly penetrating your skin and is clogging the pore. Switch to a better product. Myth 3: Picking, popping, or squeezing is harmless. If you do any of these things when your skin breaks out, it will worsen it. Squeezing, picking, and popping irritates acne and causes hyperpigmentation, or spots on the skin. In fact, you should avoid touching your face at all.
Helpful Tips: • Sanitize cell phones or community phones at work by frequently wiping them off. • Do weekly bed-linen changes. • Pull hair off the face when going to bed. Chances are if you have oily skin, you have oily hair, and if you go to bed with dirty hair, you are laying in it while sleeping. • Avoid makeup whenever possible. When in doubt, seek out the help of a professional. Avoid home remedies, if possible. Good luck in maintaining healthy, balanced skin!
