Tour inspiration: Cyclist finds inner strength to overcome near-death injuries Two years ago, Shayna Elizabeth was hit by a drunk driver while cycling and left on

the side of the road. She sustained traumatic injuries to nearly every part of her body, and doctors said it would be years before Shayna could ever train or compete again.

I love to cycle. So much so that I own four bikes. Why? Well, each bicycle is different. Each one is designed and constructed for a different purpose, and that’s what I love about cycling — there’s such versatility in the sport.

Whether for a tough off-road excursion or tooling down the street for coffee on a Sunday morning, there’s a bike made for every occasion.

This month’s Ranch News issue focuses on the upcoming 11th annual Tour de Scottsdale bike ride. On the morning of October 12, over 2000 riders will line up at the start on Market Street to participate in this event.

Every mile benefits the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy (MSC). Read on page 6 just how many of the fundraising efforts contribute to the overall mission of MSC. If you are thinking about signing up for Tour de Scottsdale and need a little motivation, turn to page 8 and read Shayna Elizabeth’s story. In June 2011, Elizabeth was riding with friends on a familiar route when she was hit by an SUV. Through all of the difficult recovery, her positive attitude and support network allowed Elizabeth to complete the 2013 IRONMAN Triathlon Arizona. The next goal on the horizon is Tour de Scottsdale. She has also become an advocate for cyclist safety. Through her role with the Not One More foundation, Elizabeth is working to increase awareness for Jona Davis more cyclists on the road.

Whether you are “carb loading” for the Tour or just need some fantastic Italian food, read the Marketplace section on page 4 highlighting the opening of Rosati’s Sports Pub at DC Ranch Crossing. The description of the pizza made my mouth water.

Page 9 is the interview with James Kramer from FASTER Cycling, the official bike store sponsor of the Tour. We stopped by the state-of-the-art bicycle facility in north Scottsdale and learned all about the business of cycling.

If you are not a cyclist, turn to the Monthly Planner on page 7 for a host of other fun events, programs and clubs in DC Ranch throughout September. Find your purpose this month.

Spotlight on Ranch Association

Community Updates

Overseeding planned for September and October

In desert communities it is common to overseed Bermuda grass with a suitable cool-season winter ryegrass. This provides a green cover when the Bermuda grass would otherwise turn brown and become dormant for the winter.

The lawns at Desert Camp and The Homestead Community Centers and all neighborhood grass areas will be overseeded Sept. 29 to Oct. 24. Residents are asked to keep off the grass during these dates to allow for successful germination. This will help the grass remain a lush green throughout the winter.

Residents can click on the Security section on DCRanch.com to retrieve guest data, authorize new visitors, and update contact information.

New security resources just a click away

All information related to security at DC Ranch can now be found in a user-friendly format on DCRanch.com.

Residents using the site report they especially like the one-click stop to forms for gate access, vacation watch and more. In addition to easily locating forms, residents can manage guest lists, retrieve data, and update contact information.

DC Ranch Security Director Sandee Breiling attributes the hefty increase in vacation watch requests this summer to the new paperless system.

“Residents are using it and we’ve had more vacation forms submitted than ever before,” she said.

The site also offers options to add stricter security controls to accounts such as the family gate-pass code or resident photo used by gate personnel for identification purposes. This is especially helpful when residents use alternate transportation other than their registered vehicle.

“When our family recently returned from a vacation, we took a taxi from the airport to DC Ranch.

We provided our family passcode at the Horseshoe Canyon gate, and it took just seconds for the guard to clear us. The new system worked great,” commented Ranch Association board president Fred Green.

STAFF ANNIVERSARIES

A new feature of the Security section, called “Gate Pass Request,” allows residents and contractors to electronically submit registration for up to three vehicles prior to heading to Westgate to have the gate tags attached. This differs from the “Gate Access.net user account” that permits management of guest, delivery, and contact information. These options are located in the Security section under “Resident Forms.” Another new item in the forms section is “Grant an Authorized Person,” delegating guest authorization to other persons such as immediate family members.

A few other items to highlight in the Security section are the “Security Safety Tips” and “Security Notices.” The safety tips are general reminders of ways residents can help secure the community such as locking vehicles parked outside to prevent access to garage door openers. “Security Notices” is where important community information or alerts would be posted. Residents can check that section periodically or when instructed to do so.

Continued feedback on the new design from residents is encouraged. Please call The Ranch Offices on Market Street at 480.513.1500, or visit “Contact Security” on the Security section of DCRanch.com.

The following DC Ranch team members celebrate an anniversary in September.

As a reminder, the Ranch Association Board of Directors recently voted to standardize speed limits for all DC Ranch property. The maximum speed for main thoroughfares is 25 mph. The revised limit for all other neighborhood streets is 15 mph. There are two exceptions, including the south loop of Desert Camp where the posted maximum is 30 mph and roadways located behind gates managed by sub-associations. New speed limit signs will be erected outside of each neighborhood gate by mid-September. Additional speed signs within the larger community villages will be changed to also conform to the newly approved standards.

Initial reports indicate residents are responding to the new battery-powered electronic speed signs installed around the community. The board sanctioned the purchase of three programmable signs to help deter speeding and capture data. This information will identify repeat offenders and determine areas needing better control. Residents want to keep DC Ranch streets safe for school children, pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers.

Home resale facts to remember

Prices for homes in Silverleaf are up 36 percent and 15 percent in DC Ranch overall. This is encouraging data considering that the real estate market in the first half of the year slightly favored the buyer. It’s important for owners to seek guidance, especially when thinking of selling a home.

State law requires disclosure by the Ranch Association within 10 days once a buyer’s offer is received.

Often during this inspection and reporting process, housing items not in compliance with DC Ranch standards (such as unapproved paint colors) can be discovered and interrupt a sales transaction. To avoid any foreseeable delays, The Ranch Association suggests scheduling a complimentary pre-inspection to address any circumstances before placing a home on the market. DC Ranch’s appeal lies in its visual aesthetics, community values, unique history, and natural desert beauty that neighbors wish to preserve. Please call The Ranch Offices on Market Street to schedule an appointment at 480.513.1500 or visit the Real Estate section on DCRanch.com for more details.

Ranch News met up with Jason Travers, proprietor of Rosati’s Pizza Sports Pub, to learn more about his dining establishment, which recently opened its doors in DC Ranch Crossing.

Q: C an you share a little about Rosati’s Authentic Chicago Pizza, and what sets it apart from other pizzerias?

A: Rosati’s great taste of Chicago Pizza has a 50-year tradition, with family recipes passed down through generations. We have five delicious types of crust: Traditional, Thin Crust, Double Dough, Authentic Stuffed, and our world-famous Chicago Deep Dish.

We use Rosati’s signature blend of multiple cheeses cooked golden brown that’s oh so delicious. We have toppings galore, with generous portions piled onto your preference not a scale’s. Our perfectly seasoned Italian sausage is made from the original Rosati’s family recipe, always fresh and never pre-cooked. Are you tempted yet?

Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. Member FINRA and SIPC. © 2014 Ameriprise Financial, Inc. All rights reserved.

Q: How did you get your start in this business?

Caring for YOU Like I Care for My Own

A: My family has been in the restaurant and bar business since I was born. In 2013, my wife and I decided it was time to open our own business. We chose Rosati’s Pizza because of the systems in place which will enable us to succeed.

Q: What prompted your decision to locate in DC Ranch Crossing?

A: While going through the process of opening Rosati’s, my wife and I chose the north Scottsdale territory because we both grew up in Scottsdale. This is our pride, our joy, and our home.

Q: W e’ve heard you included a unique sports bar in the design of this location. Can you share details?

A: We wanted to provide our customers with a full bar, including a wide variety of beer, wine, and spirits while dining and watching sports on ten 60-inch screens. What’s unique about the Rosati’s Pizza Sports Pub in DC Ranch is that our premises include take-out, a restaurant, and bar area. We also offer two large patios where guests can enjoy dining al fresco. A huge sliding glass door completely opens up the restaurant to the outdoors and lets customers take full advantage of our weather and beautiful scenery. In addition to take-out, delivery and dine-in, we also offer catering services.

Q: Will you be serving up dishes other than pizza?

Professional Profile

Gathering creative inspiration from her parents, much of Lindsey Schultz’s love of design was sparked during childhood.

Edge and pop come together: Meet interior designer Lindsey Schultz

By Michelle Griffith

In a characteristically industrial space with floor-to-ceiling windows, Lindsey Schultz has surrounded herself with all things that inspire her: imported pieces from Morocco and Indonesia, Mid-Century Modern furnishings, and a conference table made from the drafting table her Dad bought when he was 15 and living in Chicago.

Voted Phoenix Home & Garden’s 2014 Young Gun Interior Designer, Lindsey Schultz, with 10 years of design experience, established her eponymous design studio in 2011. This spring, Lindsey Schultz Design set up shop on Market Street at DC Ranch.

“When I was at a friend’s new house and found myself creating this list in my head of all the things she should and could do to really make her place great, it dawned on me that this wasn’t my first inner monologue,” said Schultz.

When Schultz realized that she had mentally re-designed dozens of homes over the years, her career-change decision was made. A passion for keeping things interesting ignites Schultz in her quest to find the next exciting element to grace her projects. She looks for unexpected, and often edgy, pops of design. Recently she covered the barrel vault ceiling in a Las Vegas dining room with feather patterned wallpaper. Having pushed her clients out of their comfort zone with this

unconventional element, their resistance was soon squelched by their trust in her.

Fearless in her design approach, Schultz’s ability to seamlessly blend time periods and aesthetics keeps her clients excited and on their toes.

“The gratitude felt when a client falls in love with what you have done for them—I just can’t picture myself doing anything else. Why would I want to?” asked Schultz.

They say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. And for this Young Gun, doing what she was born to do, nothing rings more true.

Lindsey’s top five design tips

1. U pdate your fireplace. It is a great way to add some architectural impact to your home.

2. A dd an accent color or wallpaper to ceilings.

3. D on’t be afraid to mix your metal finishes.

4. P ay attention to thick passageways between rooms. Treat the sides and top with some beautiful tile and then trim with wood.

5. C reate a subtle Southwest feel with an area rug and rustic cabinet.

The Tour de Scottsdale benefits MSC, but just how much?

By Jace McKeighan | Conser vancy steward and DC Ranch resident

The 11th annual Tour de Scottsdale is just around the corner on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014. The event kicks off on Market Street and features the 30-mile citizen’s ride and traditional 70-mile ride. The event beneficiary remains the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. The Tour is one of the major annual fundraising events for MSC. So how exactly does the Tour benefit MSC? The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is maintained by a public-private partnership Member FDIC between the City of Scottsdale and MSC. MSC’s stewardship efforts are wide-ranging, from patrol to trail maintenance, public programs and Conservancy-trained volunteers who, over the years, have contributed more than 270,000 hours of services.

1762-3_MFB_PrivateBankBridge_DCRnch.indd 1 2/12/13 3:25 PM MSC is now regarded as a leader in the field of stewardship, and groups from around the country are contacting MSC to learn about its fundraising methods. MSC could not conduct all of these efforts without donations from a variety of sources, including the Tour and its sponsors.

Funds from both the Tour’s sponsorships and registration fees are used to support MSC’s continued stewardship of the Preserve. This year, Lexus is the presenting sponsor for the Tour. Oliver Smith Jewelers is sponsoring the 30-mile citizen’s ride; Faster cycle shop, Spooner Physical Therapy, PMT Ambulance, Scottsdale Healthcare, and Safeway are other sponsors. Each of these organizations has generously given donations that directly support MSC’s mission to champion the sustainability of the Preserve for the benefit of this and future generations.

Tour funds have been critical to the formation and success of the McDowell Sonoran Field Institute. The Field Institute is the scientific research arm of the Conservancy, dedicated to the study and preservation of the natural and human history of the Preserve.

The Tour also provides one of the best examples we have of partnering with our neighbors, in this case DC Ranch. DC’s Ranch’s community building entity, the ComCamelot Homes is pleased to announce that pre-sales will begin this Fall for the last 15 luxury villas to be built munity Council, produces the Tour.

Tour de Scottsdale

The first step is the hardest: Cyclist endures on long road to recovery We all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

But when it is a matter of learning to walk again, getting out of bed can be one of the most painful and frustrating parts of a person’s day.

This morning ritual—which most of us never think twice about—turned into a life-changing goal for Shayna Elizabeth. She was severely injured after being hit by a drunk driver while riding her bike in 2012. It took Shayna months of painful physical therapy just to be able to get out of bed on her own.

“On June 30, I was riding with some friends in the Gila Bend reservation and we were all separated by about a half mile. I was hit by a drunk driver and left on the side of the road,” recalled Shayna.

After being airlifted to the hospital, Shayna spent nine days in the trauma unit. She sustained injuries all over her body, including a collapsed lung, fractured pelvis, and broken wrists and knee caps.

“I could not move any limb for two months. Can you imagine? I literally couldn’t even use my arms to lift myself up in bed,” said Shayna.

Through extensive physical therapy, Shayna eventually re-learned how to walk and move her wrists. The process was slow and oftentimes frustrating. As a true athlete, she used event training as a motivator and asked her doctor if she could do the IRONMAN Triathlon in Arizona, 2013.

“He said no. I likely wouldn’t even be able to run for a couple years,” said Shayna. “But I was determined to do it. When I signed up for IRONMAN, two guys had to help me walk to registration. I was going to do that

Shayna Elizabeth (second from left) believes her helmet saved her life. She also recommends all cyclists ride in groups for safety.

“I tried at least five times but I would get scared and start shaking, terrified,” she said. “Finally, I rode. As my confidence grew, so did my speed.”

The next November, Shayna finished the IRONMAN with a time of 12:51. She said training for the race was harder than the race itself, because her body was still healing.

Her next challenge is to ride the 70-mile “I was going to do that race. I needed route in the 2014 Tour de Scottsdale. a reason to get up and try.”

“I push myself to sign up for events like the Tour because this is what I live —Shayna Elizabeth for. I don’t want anyone—especially not a drunk driver—to take that away from me.”

With the help of a great support system, not to race. I needed a reason to get up and try.”

With a plan in place, Shayna then needed to mention a good-fitting bike, Shayna has plenty of reasons to get out of bed each morning. overcome a major hurdle—getting back on the bike.

“I’ll be honest. I still get scared on the bike sometimes. But there is nothing like the wind in your face and the freedom you feel when riding your bike.”

The business of cycling, there’s an art to that

By Beatrice Shelton | Community Council

Skinsuits, logos, and sleek bikes— what does it all mean?

Cyclists can be found everywhere today, as Arizona has become the ideal haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Tour de France is touted as one of the most supreme athletic competitions in the world. But to the average person driving by droves of cyclist on the road, it has remained an extremely foreign competitive sport.

James Kramer, owner of FASTER Cycling in Scottsdale and sponsor of the 11th annual Tour de Scottsdale ride, shed some light on the business of cycling.

First things first: The sport of cycling is all about speed and time, so purchasing the right bike is essential. A quality-made frame and its components have small yet essential features which highlight various benefits to a rider.

“There are a number of characteristics that change the dynamic design and quality of one particular bike from the other,” said Kramer. “The minimum cost for a simple road bike can start around $1,500, or as much as $10,000 for the best of the best…sometimes even more.”

Physically preparing for a longdistance ride is equally as important as the purchase of a bike.

Selecting the perfect bike, however, is only one factor in the many nuances that make cycling such a trained, skillful sport.

Specifically for Tour de Scottsdale, Kramer recommends about eight solid weeks of training, with three days a week of actual ride time for the 30-mile course. For the 70-mile course, 12 solid weeks of four to five days a week would be ideal for such a lengthy course.

Only consider yourself a professional after this: Cycling categories start

at a 5, all the way up to an HC climb, which is the most difficult and challenging.

Kramer said, “A license must be issued

by USA Cycling and a rider must rank, at a minimum, Category 5 just to be considered a professional cyclist.”

So what’s with cycling teams? Once a cyclist has been ranked by USA Cycling—a rider will typically form or join a peloton, also known as a group of cyclists.

“Specifically for competition, building a team is a strategic process because cyclists can save energy for their team leader by letting them ride in their slipstream,” said Kramer.

A slipstream allows one rider to fall behind the peloton in order to save energy and keep endurance throughout the entire race. However, not all group rides are for competition purposes.

“Most cyclists ride in groups for comaraderie and fellowship, specifically for non-competition,” said Kramer.

“Some teams are invite-only, but most are open and people can choose by simply researching the personality and characteristics of cycling clubs or teams.”

If nothing else: It’s important not to forget the essentials. Before anyone decides to jump on a bike and ride, there are important things to always remember before hitting the open road.

“At minimum, a rider should have spare tube(s), tire levers, Allen wrenches, helmet, CO2 cartridges, and an inflator (or a hand pump),” said Kramer. “Water for hydration as well as food for energy is important if the ride and the rider’s endurance require it. Lastly, pack a cell phone, money or credit card, and an ID with emergency contact information.”

Next time you see a cyclist on the road, remember the preparation behind each push of their pedal.

On the Market With Marnie

For the love of movies…

DC Ranch Film Club

Spectacular Silverleaf... Coming to Market!

Featured This Month

We all love movies. Movies make us feel. Movies make us think. Movies shock us. Movies inspire us.

Movies are also about community. We see movies in a space with many other people, and we talk about movies with neighbors and friends at the DC Ranch Film Club each month.

To kick off the new season, Arizona State University Center for Film, Media and Popular Culture is co-sponsoring the Sept. 18 program. Cat Hartmann, an instructor in Film and Media Studies at ASU at both the Tempe and Havasu campuses, is our guest facilitator.

Hartmann is a professional actress and performer in the Valley and brings her industry-insider expertise to the classroom. She is also a faculty affiliate in the Center for Film, Media and Popular Culture, where she explores the dynamics between mass media and cultural influence.

“When we first started the Club we knew we wanted to elevate our discussions to more than just what we like and don’t like about the film,” said club member Peggy Kennelly about developing the ASU partnership. “Working with experts from the Center for Film, Media and Popular Culture such as Cat help us see films with greater depth and understanding.”

The film selection for the September program is Love is Strange. Acting veterans John Lithgow and Alfred Molina star as Ben and George, a Manhattan

Warmth and Elegance truly define this 7200 sq foot home. From the moment you enter, you are surrounded with exquisite finishes, gorgeous chandeliers, not a detail overlooked.

Soothing color pallet throughout sets the tone for this lovely home. Wonderful Entertainers’ Delight with Chef ’s Gourmet kitchen, regal at home office and luxurious Master Oasis.

Breathtaking yard overlooking the McDowells. Offered at $3,100,000

In the Heart of Silverleaf

Love is Strange

Actress and ASU instructor Cat Hartmann is the guest speaker for the September Film Club program.

couple finally given the opportunity to make their union official. But when news of their marriage reaches the Catholic school where George works, he is fired from his long-time job and the relationship is tested in unconventional ways.

Reviews from screenings at the Sundance and Tribeca film festivals have been excellent. Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote, in part, “Love is Strange simulates real life in the most poignant of ways: breaking your heart while sending it soaring.”

Hartmann added that films like Love is Strange can serve as a litmus test for the times.

“Films often show what we, as a society, are ready to accept as normal,” she said. “The dynamics of love, at any age, no matter how the relationship is structured, are universal and affecting.”

The DC Ranch Film Club is led by a committee of residents and staff, who bring a variety of ideas and resources to help us meet the broad interests of residents.

Committee members include John and Mercedes Borzyskowski, Brandon Curtis (Committee Lead), Jona Davis, Susan Grace, Joanna Hooper, Chris Irish, Peggy Kennelly, and Ron and Kathy Tartarella.

The DC Ranch Film Club meets on the third Thursday of the month, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Desert Camp Community Center. Complimentary light refreshments and drinks are provided by the Community Council. We hope you’ll join our community of film enthusiasts, right here at DC Ranch.

Help prepare your family for emergency situations. By developing an emergency preparedness plan, you can outline what each family member needs to do in case of an emergency. That knowledge can avoid stress and confusion. Create a “Go Kit” that includes food and water, medication, money, contact information, and locations to meet. Discussing this information with your family will place them a step ahead if disaster strikes. For more information about building your family emergency plan and a “Go Kit,” visit ScottsdaleAZ.gov/emergencies.

Neighborhood Focus

Renovations underway at The Country Club DC Ranch One of the pre-eminent private clubs in the Southwest, The Country Club at DC Ranch is getting even better. It is undergoing a renovation of its clubhouse and golf course.

With a keen sensitivity toward the Club’s classic heritage, highly-acclaimed PHX Architecture is coordinating the nearly $4-million project, working collaboratively with SB Design of Phoenix and Wespac Construction. Total restor­ ation is set to be completed by early November 2014.

With an active membership that spans three generations, the Club is expanding and adding larger gathering areas that broaden the entire dining and entertainment experience.

A complete re-design of the dining and social area will provide more engaging food and beverage options and improved flexibility to create special events and other social occasions.

“The Country Club at DC Ranch has some of the most breathtaking views of the Valley,” said Erik Peterson, principal of PHX Architecture. “The dining room

C A T H Y

has historically overlooked the 18th fairway and the McDowell Mountains.

While that remains, we have opened up much of the dining experience to face south, enabling us to capture the elevation change and nighttime city lights.”

Culinary expectations have always been of the highest order at The Country Club at DC Ranch as Executive Chef Lenard Rubin masterfully creates exceptional menu selections executed by his experienced kitchen team.

While the kitchen area was recently upgraded, the expansion of some spaces and the restoration of others will provide the opportunity for members to enjoy Rubin-esque creations. An entirely new setting will retain the charm of the beloved wood-burning pizza oven.

Initially developed by Scott Miller Design, the magnificent golf course at The Country Club at DC Ranch was redesigned in 2002 by the Tom LehmanJohn Fought tandem and has drawn rave reviews since then. The current update of the Par 71, 6,888-yard layout includes a greenside bunker renovation project.

“These improvements will further raise the stature of our golf course, providing our members and their guests with an unsurpassed round of golf,” said Dick Hyland, Director of Golf at The Country Club at DC Ranch. “Our bunkers throughout the course will be in pristine shape and will be able to recover quicker to perfect playing conditions after any inclement weather.”

The six tennis courts at DC Ranch will be reconditioned in the US Open (USTA) blue surface color, providing players with better sight lines and enhanced play. Five of the Club’s tennis courts will be lit for nighttime action as well, giving the nearly 150 adults and active juniors who hit the courts regularly more time to play. Additionally, a pro shop and snack bar will be added later this fall.

Tour Training

By the Numbers

When you ride: What you eat really matters

By Jona Davis | Community Council

When it comes to event day, no amount of training and preparation can make up for poor nutrition or choosing the wrong pre-ride meal.

The bad results? Winding up with an upset stomach. One of the most important things you can do before Tour de Scottsdale is to practice an eating plan weeks in advance. Stick to eating a well-balanced meal, and avoid introducing new food before a ride.

For proper digestion and to avoid potential stomach discomfort, online resources recommend that you plan to eat three to four hours before the start of the ride. Aim for a meal that’s high in carbohydrates. A bowl of oatmeal with a banana, or a bagel and some juice are common staples of a smart pre-ride meal. Also remember to avoid caffeine, which can make you feel sick before the ride. The energy from dinner and breakfast should be enough to get you through the ride, but keeping an energy bar in your cycling jersey for a snack can curb your hunger during the ride.

Increasing your water intake a few days before a cycling ride is crucial for helping your body stay hydrated throughout the event. Drink

The uniqueness of cycling will come to life next month, as thousands of riders descend upon Market Street for the 11th annual Tour de Scottsdale on Oct. 12. Did you know:
