Scottsdale neighbors of all faiths Junior Citizen Science Festival draws kids into McDowell Sonoran Preserve rally behind Jewish community By Marilyn Hawkes
During divisive times, when hostile rhetoric is escalating across the country and concerns about anti-Semitism are on the rise, many in the North Scottsdale Jewish community are calling for unity and understanding – and they are receiving it from people of all persuasions. “This is the time for us to come together,” says Kim Subrin, chief operating officer of Scottsdale’s Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center (VOSJCC). “Our hope is that the JCC can truly be the center of the community.”

On a picture-perfect spring morning, the McDowell Mountain Preserve transformed into a living classroom. Run by hundreds of neighborhood volunteers, the Junior Citizen Science Festival (put on by the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy on March 10) brought nearly 300 kids from all over the Valley to the McDowell Mountains to learn about their environment. Kids followed scavenger hunt maps around the Lost Dog Trailhead, stopping at booths like “Sensing the Desert” and “Birds and Their Nests” manned with both volunteers and

Jewish ...continued from page 1 In recent weeks, the Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center, which houses a thriving preschool, has been rocked by two bomb threats. But the threats aren’t keeping people away. Subrin says. “Our halls have been packed.” The JCC is being proactive rather than reactive, Subrin says. “We’re prepared. We are vigilant, and security is a number one priority for us,” she says. In response to the threats, Subrin recently held a security meeting for preschool parents with the JCC’s director of security, James Wasson. More than 100 people attended the meeting. “The support was tremendous,” she says. Next door at Pardes Jewish Day School, head-of-school Jill Kessler says she has also received support from the community – most notably, a call from Muslim attorney Yaser Ali, who serves as a consultant for Arizona Cultural Academy, a private Muslim school in Phoenix with about 300 students ranging from kindergarten through high school.
Along with displays of anti-Semitism such as swastika graffiti recently found at Jewish schools in Oregon, New Jersey, New York and elsewhere, there has also been an escalation of antiMuslim sentiment, Ali says, which prompted him to reach out to Kessler. As a result of the conversation, Ali visited Pardes, where he and school leaders had a dialogue about bringing the two schools together for a community-building activity. “We’re still in the brainstorming process, but the idea is to bring kids together who otherwise wouldn’t necessarily be in the same circles and expose them to one another to talk about similarities and differences and build a mutual respect for one another. The easiest way to break a stereotype is to get to know people on a personal basis,” Ali says. Kessler wholeheartedly supports this idea. “When you help young people interact and they are working on something together, something to benefit others, it’s a great way for them to get to know one another and see that each are wonderful people.”
Collaborative ideas include students visiting each other’s schools, taking part in a panel discussion and participating in a community service project together. Ali and Kessler hope to plan a joint activity before the end of the school year. One of the consequences of rising racism and xenophobia across the country is that communities are coming together, Ali says. “You see it happening nationwide and we want to make it happen locally.” This sentiment is echoed strongly by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). “This is a unique time in our American history for multi-community engagement,” says Carlos GalindoElvira, Arizona regional ADL director. “It’s really an opportunity to reach across communities and to stand shoulder to shoulder to fight against hate.” In nearby Paradise Valley, Rabbi John Linder of Reform synagogue Temple Solel has received many encouraging emails of support from faith leaders. From Imam Ahmad Shqeirat: “In the wake of the threats that your
community and houses of worship are receiving these days, I want you all to know that you are in my heart and prayers. Stay safe, strong and let me know please if I can be of any help.” Rev. Ryan Michael Hersch of Ascension Lutheran Church sent an email of support after visiting VOSJCC following the last bomb threat. “I wanted to tell the staff there how deeply disturbed I was by yesterday’s events, that I represent a congregation of Christians that loves them and can’t imagine our community without them, and that if they ever need a token Gentile cleric… that I’m happy to help.” The outpouring of community support goes hand in hand with Galindo-Elvira’s message to the community on behalf of the ADL: “We must continue to march forward and not allow ourselves to be defined by others and continue the work that we’re doing on behalf of the Jewish community and all communities that may be vulnerable or marginalized.”

According to Helen Rowe, the conservancy’s director of the Field Institute, the group’s work is focused on three specific areas: urban climate change and its impact on the preserve, best practices for removing invasive species, and finding ways to involve children in the environment at a young age. “There are strong benefits to kids being out in nature – both cognitive and emotional,” she said. “We want to draw kids into and get them out in nature.”

The Blounts and the long life of the Adobe House In the 1890s, when many Scottsdale residents still lived in canvas-sided “tent homes,” George and Alza Blount went in a different direction. When the Blounts and their three children settled on their 40-acre Scottsdale farm in 1896, they built a formidable two-story home out of adobe brick. The adobe structure was huge for that period in Scottsdale’s history. Probably owing to its size and substantial construction, the building enjoyed a considerable afterlife following the Blounts’ residence.
By turns it housed playwright Roy George and his family, a cheese factory, and a guest ranch. In the 1950s, the Scottsdale Civic Coordinating Council purchased the Adobe House, as it came to be known, and it became an important community center. From the 1950s until it was torn down in the 1970s, the Adobe House served as Scottsdale’s first public library, a community theater, and a recreation center. It’s a testament to the Blounts that their home built in 1896 could serve as a public building into the 1970s. In the 1920s, Mildred Bathalow and Imogene Ireland turned the Blounts’ home into the Adobe House Guest Ranch. The resort promised guests “relaxation among orange and olive trees.” Photo courtesy of the Scottsdale Historical Society.
Alza Blount and her husband, George, a teacher at Phoenix High School, built what later became known as the Adobe House. Alza became the town’s first teacher when she taught for seven months before the district hired a permanent teacher. Photo courtesy of the Scottsdale Historical Society.
A group of young people use the Adobe House library in this undated photo. Early on, the library was managed by the Scottsdale Women’s Club. It was open just a few mornings and evenings each week. Photo courtesy of the Scottsdale Public Library.
In 1955, Lou Ann Noel and Beth Fielder organized Scottsdale’s first public library in the Adobe House with 300 donated books, a folding table, and a card file. In this photo from 1959, an unidentified library worker peers at books stored in an oven. Photo courtesy of the Scottsdale Public Library.

Have you Heard? Always something new at Heard Museum Story and photos by Kimberly Hosey Despite living in Arizona for most of my life – and my son David living here his entire life – we had never visited the internationally acclaimed Heard Museum, which showcases and celebrates the vibrant cultures and art of Native American peoples, especially those from the Southwest. We took a step toward remedying this oversight recently by browsing the museum at 2301 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. Our first stop was “Home: Native Peoples of the Southwest,” the museum’s signature exhibit. From the 500 Hopi kachina dolls and the thousands of examples of jewelry, pottery, bas-
Page 8
kets, textiles, and beadwork to a garden filled with native plants and a 30foot colorful glass and clay art fence leading into the exhibit, the collection invites guests to view the art, learn about the culture and listen to the voices of Native American peoples. The exhibit encourages immersion in Native American culture. Inside the full-size Navajo hogan we could explore the walls and smell the cedar used in its construction. We investigated a Hopi piki room and Yaqui ramada, and learned about Pueblo ovens. After the main gallery, we perused the rest of the museum, and we were just as impressed everywhere else. This isn’t a jaunt if your kids are rowdy and looking to let off steam, but if you’re looking to appreciate other cultures – from earlier generations as well as today’s – this is a great destination. We were even able to learn about nature, science and geology through the materials used by the artists. A sand painting textile from 1920 brought a Navajo artistic vision to life in vibrant reds and gold. Hopi kachina dolls made from cottonwood, cloth, feathers, horsehair, yarn and more echoed the natural resources from which they were created. A Navajo ring, Bear Looking Over the Universe, contained turquoise, sugilite, lapis lazuli, coral, gaspeite, dolomite, shell, diamond, silver and gold. Zuni Pueblo necklaces boasted oyster shell, mother of pearl, silver and more. The Heard Museum is geared toward an enjoyable, albeit

serious, cross-cultural understanding – but it’s definitely family friendly. When we visited my son particularly enjoyed the interactive audio and video additions to the exhibits, which are modern enough to draw in kids and a great way to let Native artists share their culture in their own voices and words. My son also got to try his hand at making artwork (the quality wasn’t quite up to museum standards) and trying other tasks in “It’s Your Turn: A Home Studio,” which encouraged kids to try some practices of Southwest Native Americans with handson activities. Let’s just say his butterfly sculpting and cradle board tying left a bit to be desired, but he left with a new appreciation for the skill involved. One thing we both noticed was that the Heard was not a typical historical museum, but rather a living museum dedicated to showcasing living cultures and heritages. Centuries-old artifacts can be found, but

so can pottery by Santa Clara artist Susan Folwell, which incorporates elements and imagery from the Harry Potter universe into an artistic plate. Artwork and preserved artifacts from generations ago are celebrated alongside exhibitions from contemporary Native American artists. The theme of artistic heritage is still thriving and growing at the Heard, as we saw when we learned that the museum is set to welcome its first exhibit to its first new gallery in 11 years. The newly opened Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Grand Gallery opened Feb. 10 with “Beauty Speaks for Us,” an exhibition of more than 200 American Indian artworks in media including pottery, textiles, jewelry, beadwork, functional art, paintings, basketry and carvings. The exhibit is intended to showcase artistic work spanning cultures and generations, revolving around beauty in all its variations. The 7,000-square-foot gallery will display “Beauty” through April 2.

David Hosey looks at “A Place Where We Emerge,” a piece in India ink and charcoal by Navajo artist Tony Abeyta.
“The Piper Grand Gallery ushers in a new era for the Heard Museum and this exhibition, celebrating American Indian art and the Phoenix community, represents the first step toward achieving an exciting and expanded vision,” says Heard Museum director and CEO David M. Roche. The gallery will also display 33 works by legendary artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, in what will be the exhibition’s only North American stop. I’m always looking to share new experiences with my son, and this turned out to be a wonderful learning experience for us both – one we’ll definitely repeat. In the end, our visit led to an appreciation for jewelry
work; questions about glass and clay art; discussions about community, inclusion and cultural appreciation; a long talk about what makes someone an American and much more. I’m excited the Heard Museum has so many things on the horizon because I can’t wait to go back. The Heard Museum is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $18 for adults, $13.50 for seniors 65 and older and $7.50 for kids 6 to 17 and college students with ID. Children 5 and younger, Native Americans and museum members are free.

egg shells will keep for years if handled delicately.
Concrete Eggs
Silk Dyed Eggs
I found this technique in a Facebook video and I wanted to find out if it actually worked. Start with brightly colored silk (from old ties, scarves etc.) and cut them into 7-inch squares. biz box

expensive homes
1
Cut a corresponding number of 7-inch squares of white cotton fabric. Wrap an egg tightly in each square and secure with a rubber band, then wrap a second time with the cotton. Place in the bottom of a pot, cover with water and add two tablespoons of vinegar (white or apple cider). Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then unwrap.
inside. Gently but firmly hold the egg on each side and start blowing through the top hole to expel the yolk. This will be a series of blows, using the needle to break up more of the yolk, scraping the yolk off of the shell when it gets hung up, then blowing again. After a few eggs you’ll get a feel for the right size of hole needed to efficiently expel the yolk without losing consciousness. It will be very obvious when all of the yolk is gone from the egg. Wash the shell off and let dry.

NOTE: Pastel colors don’t work for this project. Find vibrant, primary colored silk to work with.
Preserved Egg Shells
Start by using a push pin to poke holes in either end of a raw egg. You’ll want them to be about twice as wide as the diameter of the pin. When that’s complete, rinse off the egg then stick a long needle into each side and swirl it around to break up the membranes
There are many ways to decorate these preserved egg shells, but I chose to decoupage mine this time. Decoupage is the technique of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts (and other effects like glitter or gold leaf ) to the surface. Cut strips of tissue paper, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch at the longest. Paint a small portion of the egg with Mod Podge, apply the tissue, then paint more Mod Podge over the top to mold the tissue to shape. Repeat, filling in open areas of shell until the egg is completely covered. Set aside to dry, then display as desired. These
These can be made with all different sizes of plastic eggs, and varied sizes make the final presentation more interesting. Almost all plastic Easter eggs have holes in them. Start by taping over the holes at the pointy end from the outside. If the egg doesn’t click shut solidly, use tape around the center seam.
6
Before the concrete is completely dry, meaning it’s still warm, grip each side of the mold in each hand and twist the concrete egg free. I’ve had varying degrees of success with this. It’s worked really well with some molds, but I’ve had to carefully use a razor blade to cut the plastic away from others. Set aside and let the eggs finish curing.
8
Use a razor blade to carefully cut a 1/4- to 1/2-inch hole in the bottom of the egg, then place hole side up in a container that you don’t mind getting very dirty. Repeat for as many eggs as you’re planning on making. Fill half of a Ziploc bag with dry concrete, then add water until you’ve achieved a milkshake-like consistency. Cut a smallish hole in one corner and pour the concrete through the holes in the eggs until they’re just full. Tap and swirl them a few times to get rid of any
I like the look of the raw concrete eggs, and I have kids who like my projects almost as much as I do. I got out the all-weather acrylic paint and we went to town painting. The larger ones are now placed all over our front yard, hopefully making our neighbors smile when they see them. The smaller ones are in places around my house where I don’t mind people touching and dropping them.

Kids can learn to surf in the desert By Nearby News Staff
(Special to Nearby News)
The FlowRider surf machine brings the beach to North Scottsdale.
Kids who want to learn to ride waves in the middle of the desert are in luck. The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa has created a five-day surf camp for kids using its special “FlowRider” surf machine, which simulates wave riding right in the heart of North Scottsdale. Surf camp runs Monday through Friday, and according to Westin Kierland resident wave master Scott Imondi, the staff will work with each child and meet them at their own comfort level. Imondi is a FlowRider expert with a background in competitive surfing, and he gives each camper tips and tricks to ride like the pros.
No specific skills are required to enjoy the experience, Imondi says, making it a great place for kids to get their start in board sports. The Kierland FlowRider’s wave form is a proprietary composite-membrane ride surface that is designed to absorb the energy of impacts. So while flowboarders may wipe out, they can keep getting back up to take on wave after wave. The dual Kierland FlowRider has two jets that push nearly 30,000 gallons of water per minute at speeds of 25 to 30 mph. The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa’s five-day summer Surf Camp is for kids ages 8 to 12 at least 52 inches tall. The camp costs $500 for the week and includes lunches. Each day, the Surf Camp features a variety of activities. After a week of learning all the tips and tricks to bodyboard and flowboard on the Kierland FlowRider, the camp concludes with a special surf show for parents to watch the junior surfers perform. Plus, each surfer gets their own rash guard and surf necklace to take home as a souvenir. For more information visit KierlandResort.com.

How to keep your child off the summer downhill reading slide By Kristin Anderson Cetone
Carefree days, time with family, camp, museums, parks, and libraries – summer is on its way. What can you do if your child comes home on the last day of school and announces, “I am tired of reading and I AM NOT going to read over the summer?” Summer vacation has long been a tradition for American schoolchildren, but is this practice the best when it comes to helping kids get the most out of their reading journey? Did you know? • Many children experience learning loss when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. • Many students may maintain their reading ability over the summer, but not make any gains. Some students can actually lose up to two months in reading achievement. • Summer learning loss can follow a student through high school, college and beyond. • Research shows that teachers typically spend between four to six weeks re-teaching material that students have forgotten over the summer! • Parents can play a key role in filling in

the gaps over the summer. How can parents make summer reading more effective? Reading is not just a solitary activity. It can also be a social activity that fosters learning and recreation. Summer reading is most effective when parents are active participants. Providing books with no guidance may not be of much help. Reading is most effective when parents, family members, or caregivers, provide reading guidance and make sure that kids understand what they are reading. Here are three ingredients to make your child’s summer reading soar: 1. Give them access to a wide variety of books over the summer months.
Scottsdale’s gifted program sparks curiosity By Nancy Norman No two students are alike. Each has a unique set of gifts, and Scottsdale teachers pride themselves on unwrapping those gifts by challenging all students to reach their greatest potential. For our highest-achieving students, performing at or above the 97th percentile, the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) provides gifted programs that spark curiosity, ignite greater creativity and nurture talent. SUSD’s gifted education program is designed around seven rigorous gifted practices: • Curriculum compacting • Acceleration in mathematics • Enrichment of English Language Arts • Integrated, thematic instruction • Individualized quests • Thinking globally and acting locally • Leadership

2. Make sure the books match your child’s reading ability, level and interest. For children to improve their reading skills, they need to read books that align with their own reading levels. Reading books that are too difficult for them won’t help. 3. Monitor and guide their comprehension by asking questions which guide your child to a better understanding of what they are reading. Kristin Anderson Cetone is a reading specialist whose read-aloud children’s book Buckaroo Buckeye – A Little Nut with Big Dreams was a winner of the OneBookAZ award in 2016 and the 2012 Mom’s Silver Choice Awards. She resides in Scottsdale. For more information, visit buckaroobuckeye.com.

Starting in August, students as young as 4 can qualify for gifted services in SUSD. Enrollment in the Gifted Pre-Kindergarten Academy at Redfield Elementary School is contingent upon results on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) Test and having an IQ above 130. “The sooner we can identify our most gifted students and further challenge them, the farther we can stretch their learning,” said Christine Bonow, Redfield principal. “Rigorous curriculum and inspired student and teacher engagement keeps the young gifted learner excited about what opportunities lie ahead.” To learn more about SUSD’s gifted offerings and to register your student for testing, visit gifted.susd.org.

Asadero Cocina + Cantina brings fresh Southwestern flavor to North Scottsdale comm. spotlight

hearsay
Don Molonich, executive chef at Asadero Cocina + Cantina, is inspired by the Mexican food in Arizona. Ohio-raised Molonich has lived here for 20 years, and Southwestern flavors shine through on his menu, which he says has “a lot of Latino influence, from Veracruz to Sinaloa” and more. Located in the space that formerly housed En Fuego at the Hilton DoubleTree Resort, Asadero is part of a recent $12 million renovation, but some fan favorites remain – like the tongue-tingling jalapeño-bacon-wrapped shrimp, which has been on the menu in some form at least 14 years. Molonich put a twist on the longtime dish by replacing the former coconut mojito sauce with a bed of butternut squash hash in maple gastrique. “Maple syrup and bacon is like peanut butter and jelly,” Molonich explains. The bacon-wrapped shrimp is a popular go-to item for locals, and a popular to-go item for guests. “Peoclassifieds

ple will say ‘Give me two orders of bacon-wrapped shrimp – I’ll be back after I drop off my luggage,’” general manager Doug Heaton says. Cocktails are crafted in mad-scientist, break-out-the-beakers fashion by mixologists Jessica Barry and Danielle Dominguez. Their drinks taste deceptively smooth and lack the back-of-the-throat alcohol burn that warns the imbiber of its potency. Using homemade purees and a garden-toglass approach, Barry and Dominguez have concocted spirited potions such as the Prickly in Pink (house-infused prickly pear vodka and soda water) and The Saguaro (house-infused jasmine gin, lemon juice, honey, water, club soda, and frothy egg white garnished with thyme). But the real kick in the tonsils in the Blackberry Serrano Margarita, with Hornitos Reposado Tequila, Grand Marnier, house-made blackberry serrano puree and margarita mix, and fresh-squeezed citrus, garnished with half a jalapeño and with a glass rim seasoned with an incendiary sriracha salt. Diners will need several bites of Molonich’s cuisine to quench the fire.

what’s cooking? By Jan D’Atri
Pretzel Bites April is National Soft Pretzel Month, according to nationaldaycalendar. com, and I’m not about to dispute it. I will use any excuse possible to indulge, especially when they’re pretzel bites. See, pretzels and I go way back. I can’t tell you how many times pretzels got me through a stressful situation. I remember having a bag of pretzels at my desk daily as I was starting my television anchoring career. Rush hour traffic? A bag of pretzels helped me munch away the tension. I was such a pretzel addict that when Rold Gold Pretzels changed their recipe from the regular size to a thinner version, I penned a letter to the president of the company begging him to reconsider. Now that’s an addiction gone too far. I’d gone off the deep end. Then, there’s the soft pretzel. Those are a much harder habit to break, so I
Soft Pretzel Bites Ingredients: – 1-1/2 cups warm water – 1 teaspoon honey or sugar – 1 package active dry yeast – 2 cups all-purpose flour – 2-1/2 cups bread flour – 1 tablespoon kosher salt – 6 tablespoons melted butter – 5 cups water – 1/3 cup baking soda – 1 egg yolk – 1 tablespoon water – Pretzel salt Directions: Step #1: Make the dough. Place warm water in a small bowl. Add honey or sugar and stir. Sprinkle in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups bread flour, melted butter and salt. Add yeast and knead, using a dough hook attachment. If dough is sticky add additional 1/2 cup of bread flour. Knead for 5 minutes or until the dough forms a smooth ball. Step #2: Place dough in a large bowl coated with butter. Cover with plastic wrap or towel and let rise until double
Writing the Next Chapter on Retirement Security United Retirement Advisors Group
“T
he book on baby boomers retiring hasn’t been written yet,” says Garry Madaline, President of United Retirement Advisors Group. “Thirty years from now, I’m afraid the story may be that too many retirees didn’t change their financial strategy when they left the workforce and didn’t realize their mistake till it was too late.”
“For retirees who can no longer contribute income to recoup their losses, taking a hit in the market can have dire consequences.” — Garry Madaline (Jan D’Atri)
just quit trying. Instead, I decided to hunt for a great recipe because driving to the mall every few days for a soft pretzel was just not an option. I think I finally found a bite-sized bonanza.
in size, about one hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 420 degrees. Step #3: Place dough onto a clean work surface. (Do not flour surface.) Cut dough into six to eight sections and roll the dough and form long ropes. Using a knife cut the ropes into 1-1/2 inch pieces. Step #4: Make the egg wash by mixing together water and egg yolk. Have pastry brush, slotted spoon, pretzel salt, kitchen scissors, and baking sheet ready. Bring 5 cups of water to boil. Add baking soda. (Do not skip the baking soda step. This is what gives the pretzel it’s unique taste and appearance.) Step #5: Put about six or seven pieces of pretzel dough into the simmering solution and let cook for 30 seconds. Remove pieces with slotted spoon and place them on baking sheet. Continue with remaining dough. Brush each piece with egg wash, sprinkle with salt and using scissors cut a cross into the top of each pretzel piece. Gently transfer pieces onto a clean baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 420 degrees for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown.
To Madaline, a Boomer himself, this unhappy narrative serves as a cautionary tale for today’s pre-retirees. A long time financial advisor, he’s been in the business since 1979, following a six-year stint as a police officer in Philadelphia, Madaline has made it his personal mission to help retirees lay the foundation for a happier ending. “Our grandparents and parents stayed with one employer, received a comfortable pension and lived a different lifestyle,” he says. “Markets behaved differently; staying fully invested over the long term made sense. But times have changed. Less than 5% of Baby Boomers have retired and a very dangerous trend has already begun to emerge. Many are following the same investment strategies they used while working and assume the results will be the same. The fact is, following the same strategy after retirement as before retirement just won’t work for many retirees.”
Protecting Assets Is Priority One
Madaline’s top priority for his clients, to whom he has a fiduciary responsibility as a Series 65 advisor, is protecting their assets from the effects of market downsides. While working, most people contribute to their 401(k) plan every pay period. They are putting money in every week regardless of whether the market is going up or down. This can be a good idea while you’re working as purchasing fund shares in a declining market will net great returns when the market recovers. In addition, your employer may also be matching some of your contributions helping you buy even more shares at a discount price. The problem with using this strategy during retirement is that you are no longer buying any new shares during down markets. In addition, you must now remove money from these accounts to live on. If you are taking losses and removing money from your retirement accounts, even for a short time period, no reasonable amount of recovery will make up for the losses and eventually you may run out of money. This is what happened to many people in 2008. There’s no magic to this conclusion it’s simply basic math.
Building Wealth Responsibly
Madaline is highly selective in the advice he gives, preferring fund managers who share his ‘protection first’ philosophy. “I only recommend market investments whose risk management techniques come first and money-making strategies come second,” he says. “As an independent advisor, my primary concern is for my client’s well-being. When it comes to managing other people’s money, nothing is more important to us. A cornerstone of making this a reality is aligning the money manager’s approach and goals to share that of the clients.” To learn about how to adopt a new approach into your own retirement plan in an educational setting, a great place to start is the C.O.R.E. Retirement Workshop at a Community College near you. For more information and class dates please visit www.myretirementclass.com and enroll today!

When Realtors and associate brokers Josh Hintzen and Morgan Hodges market a home for sale, they do much more than post a few quick photos and maybe a video or two. The duo, who head up The MoJo Team of Realty One Group in Scottsdale, use 25 different marketing strategies and tactics to help sell their clients’ homes for top dollar. “We have incorporated things like drone footage, virtual 3D tours, floor plans and video production,” Hintzen said, adding that when it comes to marketing, he and Hodges believe in “casting the largest net possible.” “We like to say that we offer more marketing in 24 hours than most agents do in 24 days. We will market a $500,000 home like it’s a multimillion home,” Hintzen said. Hintzen and Hodges’ dedication to marketing each home to its fullest has really paid off ; Hodges said they have been the top team out of the Scottsdale office for two years in a row. “We have been able to grow our business to just shy of $30 million last year, and close to $100 million in the last four years,” Hodges said. “We have also added four new agents to The MoJo Team in the past two years, so we now have six agents and one assistant.” Hintzen and Hodges, who met in real estate school, have been working

together since 2005. Since 2007, they – who are two of the original agents at Realty One Group – have worked together as The MoJo Team. The pair specializes in helping clients buy and sell residential real estate, and they also work with investors. While they are happy to work with clients throughout the East Valley, including Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Tempe and Cave Creek, Hodges said they have an affection and strong focus on central Scottsdale, including McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale Ranch and Gainey Ranch. “We are big proponents of central Scottsdale and we understand and know the benefits and great quality of life that this area offers,” Hodges said, adding that their office is centrally located at Via de Ventura and Hayden Road. What helps The MoJo Team stand out, Hintzen said, is his and Hodges’ drive and dedication to their clients, along with their team approach. “Instead of working with just one agent to help come up with creative ways to market and help with strategies, we work as a team and so our clients always have two agents working for them,” Hintzen said. Each member of The MoJo Team

Homes that need to be updated and remodeled are also popular with clients because the price tends to be more affordable, Hintzen said. Hintzen said that although he and Hodges are extremely proud of The MoJo Team’s success, they will never be content to sit back on their laurels. “One of our goals this year is to help 100 families with their real estate needs,” Hintzen said. “For us, MoJo equals ‘more.’” The MoJo Team of Realty One Group is located at 7975 N.

also strives to follow the Golden Rule on a daily basis, Hodges said. “We truly treat our clients like our friends, and the way we want to be treated,” he said. For example, Hintzen said, while he and Hodges are devoted to making sure their clients will sell their homes for as much as possible, they will never use hard sales tactics. “We are a no-pressure team, whether we are consulting with a client or listing a property,” Hintzen said. “We know that every client is different and has different goals,” Hodges added. As for current trends in real estate, Hodges said he and Hintzen are seeing a big demand among buyers for updated properties. “They want to see that the seller has made efforts to bring it up to 2017 standards, and while earth tones and tans are still around they are cur-

Girl Friday offers help where and when you need it By Amy Schrader When Kari Holt received an out-of-state phone call from a stranger on Christmas Eve requesting that she pick up a bottle of bourbon, wrap it, deliver it to the caller’s dad’s house in the Scottsdale area and say “Merry Christmas” when he opened the door, she didn’t hesitate to get the job done. As owner of Girl Friday, a Scottsdale-based company that provides administrative, personal and senior assistance, she has grown accustomed to helping people manage everything from administrative tasks in their office to providing care for seniors and helping people take care of everyday chores around the house.

ers, assist with meal preparation, help with light housekeeping and can assist with daily living activities. “Some seniors just need a little help around the house like changing light bulbs, fixing little things and helping them pare down and donate things,” Holt said. “Others may just want a companion to go out to lunch and a movie, take them on errands, or simply have someone and something to look forward to.”
Many local businesses take advantage of Girl Friday’s administrative services. Instead of using a temp agency, they use Girl Friday for their short or long-term needs to assist with bookkeeping, bill paying, office organization, data input, supply shopping, payroll and other office tasks. Regardless of the service, Girl Friday’s clients have flexibility in choosing how often they receive help. Clients may choose services on a part-time basis, for as little as two hours each visit, as frequently as several days a week, once a week, biweekly, or even monthly. While their skills and services are diverse, there are some requests Girl Friday’s owner has turned down. “Once someone wanted assistance with a delivery that involved an exchange of money that didn’t sound above the board,” Holt said. “Another involved a hoarding situation that really called for mental health professionals.”
