Nurse shares story to raise awareness The Grove at McCormick Ranch for National Adoption Month mixes the modern and the familiar By Niki D’Andrea

Scottsdale resident Angela Shoemaker tells a harrowing story, but it has a happy ending. Some of the details may be hard for her to talk about, but she wants to help draw attention to the fact that among other designations, November is National Adoption Month. As a neurotrauma nurse at a local hospital, Shoemaker has seen some gruesome things. But she hadn’t seen anything like the 2-year-old girl who showed up in her unit one night two years ago. “She was just broken from top to bottom,” Shoemaker said. As doctors examined the girl, her list of injuries raised red

Experience Scottsdale’s annual meeting reveals renovation plans By Marilyn Hawkes Experience Scottsdale, a nonprofit company that promotes Scottsdale-area tourism, held its 2017 annual meeting Oct. 23 at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch. About 400 people attended the meeting, which included an outdoor luncheon. The organization, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is tasked with promoting Scottsdale as a premier, world-class tourism destination. Rachel Sacco, president and CEO of Experience Scottsdale, kicked off the annual meeting with a presentation titled “Scottsdale’s Tipping Point,” during which she discussed proposed projects that, if realized, will have a positive impact on tourism as well as the community. Projects under consideration include renovations to Scottsdale Stadium to create a multi-use facility for community use throughout the year and for an improved Spring Training experience; improvements to WestWorld that will activate its use year-round; and the
Desert Discovery Center Desert EDGE project that will house an environmental education and research center focused on desert living and arid lands. “These are projects that may sound like they’re all about tourism, but they’re really not,” Sacco said. “They’re projects that bring forth what’s important about our own heritage.” Last year, Experience Scottsdale launched its new corporate identity, website and advertising campaign after 18 months of research to meet the needs of today’s travelers while keeping its current customers and growing the brand. Test target marketing that encompassed different ages, genders and geographic locations showed positive results, Sacco said. “As a result of looking at the new messaging… they were 25 percent more inclined to actually book Scottsdale after seeing our messages.” Throughout the year, Experience Scottsdale launched ads in premier national magazines including AFAR and Golf Digest with the message: “The des-

ert is hot. It’s dangerous, it’s wild and of course, it’s exactly what you need right now,” Sacco said. The organization also deployed a TV campaign called “Absolutely Scottsdale,” targeting the cold weather markets of New York, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco and Canada to help redefine perceptions of the Sonoran Desert.

The advertising campaigns have resulted in increased awareness about Scottsdale and have driven more people to the Experience Scottsdale website where they can glean additional information. Social media is another area of growth for Experience Scottsdale, which saw a 177 percent increase in social media followers. “We tell stories that will make people want to come to Scottsdale,” Sacco said. Traditional and social media combined have resulted in more than 1,000 stories about Scottsdale being published, reaching close to five billion readers/viewers. “We’re going to continue that approach as we go throughout the year,” Sacco said. In addition, Experience Scottsdale educated nearly 4,000 travel professionals during trade shows, sales missions and product training seminars, according to the organization’s annual report. Several years ago, Sacco was assigned the job of increasing occupancy during the holiday season (November to midJanuary). “Last year, our holiday campaign was a seasonal campaign focused on a warm Southwestern holiday here in the desert,” Sacco said. “The great thing about this promotion is we know it’s working. For the last several years, occupancy during that time period actually increased over double digits, so we’re going to continue to double down on that this year, as well.” The meeting concluded with a presentation by Doug Lansky, an international travel author and expert.

Goodguys Nationals draw auto enthusiasts of every age By Tim J. Randall Vintage and classic car enthusiasts had a second opportunity in 2017 to get their motors running, as Goodguys Rod & Custom Association returned to WestWorld in Scottsdale for its 20th annual Southwest Nationals Car Show on Friday, November 17 through Sunday, November 19. Goodguys is the counter season edition to the Goodguys Spring Nationals in March. “The Southwest Nationals is different from the spring event,” said Betsy Bennett, director of public relations for the event series. “The March event is the beginning of our season and the November event is the finale. Scottsdale is a special place for us.” The 35-year-old Goodguys has

become the definitive name for hot rod and custom car shows along with autocross racing. Founded by Gary Meadors as a platform for showcasing the classic and hot rod culture, the business is now run by his son, Marc Meadors. “I was born into Goodguys,” Meadors said. “My late father Gary started hot rodding as a teenager in California’s Central Valley in the 1950s. He began promoting hot rod events in 1973. It is all I’ve ever known.” The Southwest Nationals gave patrons an opportunity to view more than 3,000 hot rods, custom cars, classics, muscle cars and trucks dating up to 1972. Attendees also saw Goodguys’ top 12 cars and trucks from the event season, which were gathered in one display presented by Meguiar’s. Guests also browsed and shopped the vast collection of vendor displays, and engaged like-minded enthusiasts at the swap meet and car returned to WestWorld this past corral.

“Throw in great food, music, exhibits, and entertainment and you have a three-day festival that is the Goodguys experience,” Bennett said. The vibrant colors and visual appeal of a bygone era in autos was matched only by the intensity and roar from the vehicles competing in the Goodguys AutoCross. Bennett described the closed-performance race course as a place where vehicle speed and agility met to battle it out in a weekend-long fastest-car-wins contest of speed and skill.” Goodguys’ premiere race, The Duel in the Desert, the Final Shootout was the last of the year and took place on November 18. Adults were not the only ones to
experience the fun. The next generation of car lovers participated in a coloring contest and enjoyed face painting and other kids’ games. “There (was) even a model car program sponsored by Revell that sends the little ones home with their very own model kit, forging big dreams to one day come back to the show with a life-sized version,” Bennett said. With the excitement of racing and the allure of classic automotive treasures, patrons had high-octane thrills at Goodguys Southwest. “Cool cars, cool people and good times,” Bennett said. “That is what we want attendees to take away. The feeling of having a great time and enjoying some beautiful cars.”

There were previous rib fractures and visible knuckle marks on her abdomen. She had a liver laceration. Her head had been shaved, but Shoemaker saw bald patches where her hair had been pulled out. When the girl’s mother tried to approach her, the toddler screamed. The Department of Child Safety (DCS) was called. The 2-year-old girl, named Aiyanna, was hospitalized for three weeks, during which Shoemaker became her “oneto-one” nurse, staying in the room with her whenever she was on shift and doing whatever she could to try and slowly break down barriers. “We started putting her in the wagon and just filling it with stuffed animals, because she would have constant nightmares,” Shoemaker said. “Nightmares so bad that we were charting when she didn’t have nightmares, as opposed to when she did. Even with medication and trying to give her stuff to sleep, she couldn’t get past that.” DCS wanted to place her in a shelter or foster home. But a shelter couldn’t meet her needs, and she couldn’t go to just any foster home. Aiyanna needed what’s called a “medical foster” – someone trained to provide medical care. And because she couldn’t handle being around other small children in the playroom, she needed to be in a home with older kids. Enter Child Crisis Arizona, an organi-

Some of the things we do are serve children... by licensing and certifying individuals and parents for foster care and adoption,” said Torrie Taj, CEO of Child Crisis Arizona. Representatives from Child Crisis Arizona asked Shoemaker, who has three teenaged children with her husband and high school sweetheart, Matt, if she could temporarily take Aiyanna.

The Grove...continued from page 1 plenty of arched doorways, wrought iron ornamentation and red clay tile roofing, you can take that mess to Grayhawk or Anthem, according to some contractors. “The difference between a McCormick Ranch and, say, an Arcadia is, you can go into Arcadia and do whatever you want with the home that you bought,” said David Sellers, CEO of LGE Design Build contractors and partner in the development firm DBM Ventures. “In McCormick Ranch, you have guidelines for everything.” Nevertheless, standing out amidst the stucco is Sellers’ goal in developing The Grove, a new 32,000 square-foot shopping, dining and entertainment destination that recently broke ground in the heart of the 47-year-old enclave in North Scottsdale and is due to be completed by fall of 2018. On paper, the artist renderings for The Grove, showing the requisite white plaster fronted by canopied sidewalks and eucalyptus and palm trees, look like nothing new — which is part of the plan in a community that prizes its consistent aesthetics. As Ken Schnitzer, co-owner of the local Luci’s Urban Concepts restaurant chain, one of the first clients to sign on to the project, put it at a recent press meeting, “Luci’s at The Grove will feel like it’s been a part of the community for a long time. It won’t feel like it’s a brand new place.” But Sellers predicts what will set his companies’ project apart will be the carefully curated mix of retailers it brings in (“no fast food, no gas stations, no Walgreen’s”), as well as the high bar The Grove sets for McCormick’s “oasis in the desert” vibe. “I think what’s going to stand out
for this project will be the quality of the building materials, the landscape package, the signage,” Sellers said. “We don’t want it to feel like a cheap interpretation of Santa Barbara architecture. It’s going to feel very genuine.” For his part, Sellers, a secondgeneration developer whose dad, David R. Sellers, began building in the Valley over 22 years ago, is an unabashed fan of McCormick Ranch’s distinctive design, with its Spanish-styled buildings and wide pedestrian sidewalks meandering around the district’s 130 acres of manmade lakes and 25 miles of bicycle We are a Dealer paths and connected greenways. While the master-planned community (one of Arizona’s first) was incorporated in 1972 on land that was originally a real working ranch, the development’s commitment to maintaining a mindful balance between its lush natural setting and a highly walkable built environment All Flooring is more en vogue now than ever.

Scottsdale’s Museum of the West entertains all ages By Crystal Lewis Brown
My first thought upon entering Scottsdale’s Museum of the West was, “Wow, this sure is fancy.” My second thought? “How the heck will I keep two active young boys entertained?” Turns out, I needn’t have worried. From the time they slapped on their badges – the old-school sheriff ’s badge sticker that served as our entrance tickets for the day – there was something for all of us. Our first stop was the Rennard Strickland Collection of Western Film History, where we literally walked the red carpet, complete with snapping paparazzi. The walls of the collection were lined with Western film posters and lobby cards from the 1890s to the mid-1980s. While we were of course well acquainted with film posters, the lobby cards were a different story. The small posters contained much more information than a typical poster, and to help the kids understand their use, they made their own lobby cards. They first used stencils to sketch out the main image for their card and descriptions. Both my kids somehow se-

lected a similar sketch of what looked like a cowboy dancing with a woman. Even more inexplicable was my eldest son deciding that his would be designated a horror film. At two other stations, they fleshed out their cards a little more – coloring them, giving their films a name and adding additional details. At the last station, they added the final piece: the name of the studio. Budding artists then could add their own lobby cards to the selection on display. As we continued our visit, we walked through the other exhibits, including an impressive display of Hopi pottery. My 8-year-old, who was serving as tour guide, led us outdoors to the sculpture garden, where they marveled over each piece. One of the most impressive pieces – to me, anyway – was the huge bench that was actually carved from a single piece of wood. Back inside, we sauntered through the Abe Hays Family Spirit of the Visitors to Scottsdale’s Museum of the West can West Collection, which gave us walk the red carpet while exploring movie posters an inside look into how cowboys and lobby cards from as early as the 1890s.

actually lived back in that day. It was easy to get an idea of what life was like back then, from the collection of saddles to the variety of chaps (I personally favored a pair made of alpaca, though my kids seemed much less impressed at the thought of wearing them) to even what was inside a cowboy’s satchel. The boys oohed and aahed over the gun collection while I looked into what a saloon was like back then. We took an unplanned detour (parent code for someone had to use the restroom) and headed upstairs. Parent tip: There are restrooms on both floors of the museum, so it’s easy to find the one closest to you. The upstairs exhibit, Confluence of Cultures in the American West, wasn’t something I thought the boys would get into, but the layout allowed for a wonderful teaching experience.

tensions and violence of that time period. My 8-year-old especially loved the bronze pieces, walking around each piece and marveling at the details he could see. My 5-year-old practiced his reading by looking at the artists’ names and comparing their work. I loved that, among the impressive artwork and historical pieces that adults and older children could study and review, there was always something nearby that appealed to the younger children. There were easy-to-read facts about the west, Western-themed kids’ games and a place to sketch out desert animals. Another highlight of the trip was the painting hanging right before the entrance to the museum gift shop. As we walked around it, the 2D painting was suddenly 3D; proportions changed, the buildings seemed to move and we were all mesmerized (a common reaction, I was told). But the best part of the day was even simpler. In the two hours we spent at the museum, I realized I’d not heard my children utter those two dreaded words: “I’m bored.” And as every parent knows, when it comes to young kids, that is the true measure of success.

Adam Kariotoglou wanted to create an exhibit that was breathtaking – something that would thrill kids and families alike. The former owner of My Big Fat Greek Restaurant is opening the $3 million Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs on November 24 at OdySea in the Desert. From the rocks and the backdrops to the walking dinosaurs, everything was designed to envelop guests in a prehistoric world. “You can’t have the factory or anybody duplicate anything that we’ve done,” Kariotoglou said. “It’s all our own designs that I’ve created and designed.” Pangaea is the perfect addition to OdySea in the Desert, the popular, 35acre tourist destination that houses the aquarium, Butterfly Wonderland, Mirror Maze, Dolphinaris, Polar Play Ice Bar and other amusements. “I saw that we have the aquarium,” he explained. “We have the butterflies. We have the dolphins. We have the reptiles. I thought this would be a good fit for this place. That’s why I created and started designing a concept for a dinosaur zoo.” Building this land from a dream was no easy task for Kariotoglou. Many of the life-size dinosaurs are up to 50 feet long and had to be freighted across the world to their new home.

“We have the animatronic dinosaurs,” Kariotoglou said. “We actually changed the design on them and upgraded all the dinosaurs. We have all the ceiling dinosaurs, which are all animatronic dinosaur birds. We have different dinosaur stationary rides. We have dinosaur rides that the kids take for walks. Then we have the full-blown, full-suited dinosaur costumes that are as real as can be.” Kariotoglou has meticulously managed every part of the project. He has researched and accounted for every element of the exhibit to guarantee the most authentic lifelike experience for guests. “I didn’t want to make it like every other dinosaur exhibit where you walk up, and you look at it, then you walk and look at the next exhibit and you look at it,” he said. “I wanted to make the kids feel like they’re in it. It’s 3-dimensional and everything is moving. When they’re walking through it, they’re going to feel like they’re right in it.” This design and research funnels into Kariotoglou’s goal to make the experience as educational as it is

entertaining. Schools will be able to take students through the exhibit on field trips to learn more about the extinct creatures. University professors trained his staff. “We’re going to have books and tests for the kids to take home of what they’ve learned in the exhibits,” he added. “They’ll send them in for grading, and then we’ll provide something that is dinosaur-related for them or a free entry on their next visit to the exhibit.” Tickets, which start at $17.95, must be purchased in advance to guarantee entry. The type of ticket purchased determines the amount of time spent in the attraction and the different extras like walking dinosaur rides, temporary tattoos and balloon animals. All tickets include admission to the obstacle course, fossil digging, a stationary dinosaur ride and admission. In addition to the activities and entertainment within the park, there is also a dinosaur restaurant that will be available to host birthday parties.

Cork Christmas Tree As much as I enjoy wine, I am glad to say that it took a number of years to collect the amount of corks needed for this project, even with help from family members. Because, yikes, that’s a lot of corks! What is so fun about this project, aside from adding corks to the collection, is remembering the special law talk

events associated with many of those bottles of wine. There are the ones from our 10-year anniversary trip to Sonoma, another from my dad’s 60th birthday, yet another from a New Year’s Eve party we hosted a few years ago. It’s a real trip down memory lane and so much fun to look at.
Step 1 Wrap the length of the tree with the string lights, leaving about 3/4 of an inch loose at the top. Press the cord into the base of the tree so the tree sits flush, and then use your hot glue gun to tack the top and bottom down. Don’t tack the wrapped lights, however, as you will need them to be movable as you build your tree.

Note: JoAnn’s wine corks are printed to look like they came from wine, but are fake designs. Hobby Lobby’s corks are real, but unused corks.
Step 4

Once you have covered the Styrofoam tree to the top, take the two corks saved at the beginning and slice them into seven equal pieces. With one cork slice in the middle, place the remaining pieces around the center one, forming a star, and put a dab of hot glue at each place they touch each other, but not enough that it drips through to the other side. When the star is dried, affix it to the top of the tree with more hot glue. The final step is to use another dab of hot glue to position the remaining lights at the top of the string for the best effect on your tree topper.
Step 2 Set your Styrofoam tree on a piece of paper so it’s easy to spin as you work. Set aside two corks for the tree topper. If you have some corks that bring back special memories, pull those out from the general pile and save them to place in the best positions as you build the tree.
3
Step 3 It’s important to build a solid base for the corks on the tree, so working from each side of the electric cord, use your hot glue gun to secure corks around the circumference of the tree. Using Champagne corks or stacking some at an angle on top of the previous ones will set up a great looking design as you work your way up the tree. Make sure to turn the tree frequently and not build one side too high without also building up the other. As you work up from the bottom, you will periodically encounter places where the string lights intersect with the corks. You will want those lights to poke through the gaps. Occasionally, I would have to glue the lights in place, but most of the time I was able to strategically place the corks around the lights without too much manipulation.

6 Degrees Urban Kitchen is a melting pot of cuisines comm. spotlight

There’s a theory that every human being on the planet is connected to any other person by no more than six degrees of separation. If you weren’t familiar with this notion earlier, you probably learned about it through the namesake John Guare play that saw a short-lived 2017 revival – or more likely, via the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game. 6 Degrees Urban Kitchen extends this theory to its menu, a New American mélange of ingredients and cultures. On one end you’ll find chicken yakitori and seared ahi, just inches away from poutine and guacamole. At lunchtime, Nashville hot chicken and a meatloaf/ grilled cheese hybrid break bread with Southwest steak and a tangy Cubano with trendy porchetta (Italian-seasoned suckling pig). The ghost of the space’s former incarnation as Alma haunts the tooled leather seats and white brick walls of 6 Degrees. The glass-walled wine cooler, patio conversation areas, and curtained private area remain, and circular gouges in the wood floor have etched former table locations into permanence. Luckily, 6 Degrees updated some of its predecessor’s less desirable features. Gone are Alma’s creepy cow skulls and altar candles, replaced by steel girders and a heavily textured wall of riveted metal plates. Two chandeliers crafted from inverted wine glasses hang above the bar, and a 20-foot-long mural crafted by two
L.A. graffiti artists dominates one wall. If 6 Degrees was a residence, it would be a hip L.A. loft. Early evening on Sunday is the perfect time to visit. The brunch crowds have dissipated, having had their fill of Captain Crunch pancakes, Bloody Marys, and mid afternoon football. The bar is quiet and the glass walls thrown open to let in the cool evening breeze. Chef Jose Morales’ dinner menu covers a single page, with globally inspired starters, salads and entrees to please almost any palate. A Chicago transplant, Morales’ comfort with culinary diversity shows in Italian, Japanese, Indian, and coastal American dishes. We began with the crisp cauliflower, one of the restaurant’s most popular appetizers. It’s beautifully cooked, with a tender interior and a light outer crust that bursts with spicy-sweet flavors. Though described as sambal, the sauce lacks the peppery chile flavor of the traditional Indonesian condiment. It tastes more like Chinese Five Spice with a light agave nectar glaze. Whatever its origins, the sauce is delectable, and a suitable contrast to the fresh, crisp, inherent “greenness” of lightly seared shishitos. In a global take on surf ‘n’ turf, my companion and I opted for lobster risotto and grilled skirt steak. The latter was described by our server as a Mexican-inspired version of steak frites, with chimichurri subbing for the bordelaise or béarnaise. Be forewarned: This dish is heavy on the carbs. While the shoestring fries are average, the sliced beef is lean and flavorful with a delicately charred exterior that lends a smoky flavor. Chef Morales’ version of Argentinean chimichurri sauce is vibrant and garlicky, with an herbaceous parsley base that clears The house frites at 6 Degrees are sure to please the tastebuds. classifieds

the nasal passages. It’s also bright emerald green, but don’t let the bold color steer you away from this tasty dish. In contrast, the risotto is subdued. It’s as neutral as a stucco exterior, and cooked past the al dente texture found at most authentic Italian eateries. Good thing comfort food doesn’t need to be visually stunning.

night. Six Degrees doesn’t skimp on the crustaceans, either. There’s more than enough sweet lobster meat here to warrant the $28 price tag. Speaking of sweets, 6 Degrees has a gem hiding in its petite dessert menu. The lackluster sounding cheesecake surprised when it arrived on end, perched like a creamy white sailboat suspended in a sea of precisely marbled white and dark chocolate. Kernels of caramel popcorn cling to the pyramid, a sugared apple slice precariously balanced on top. It’s a gorgeous dish. The chocolate ocean is attractive, but overkill; I was already bordering on sugar coma after a few bites. Though ours was comped due to a minor broken glass accident, this dessert is worth adding to your bill. Our tab totaled about $80, not including the comped cheesecake. It’s a tad pricey unless you stop in for brunch or happy hour, but not unexpected for the area. Overall, 6 Degrees is a welcome addition to Gainey Ranch. The globally inspired menu is intriguing, though I’d like to see boundaries pushed further with authentic spices and fusion dishes. What’s most impressive is the eatery’s attention to detail. Chef Morales’ flavors are succinct, the service is strong and the presentations are lovely. Perhaps, like actor Kevin Bacon, the eatery will find its strongest footing as it ages.

what’s cooking? By Jan D’Atri

Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes. (1 pint of grape or cherry tomatoes can be used.) Add eggplant, red peppers, zucchini, broccoli, basil, chicken broth, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir and cover, cooking for 15 minutes on low heat. Uncover and gently stir. Cook for 15 minutes longer. Vegetables should be thick with a little broth. Serve over rice or pasta.
Leftovers recipe: Chicken Pepperonata Grill, bake or pan fry a chicken
breast or large boneless chicken thigh. Place a couple of tablespoons of the Pepperonata broth in a pie pan, baking dish or small sheet pan. Place the cooked chicken on top. Add several slices of your favorite cheese on top of chicken. Spoon several tablespoons of Pepperonata over chicken. Top with a few shreds of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Leftovers recipe: Steak pizza In a small baking sheet, spread out refrigerated pizza dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden. Spread Pepperonata over dough, sprinkle with leftover steak or chicken, cheese and return to oven. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Leftovers recipe: Minestrone soup In a medium saucepan, add 2-3 cups of Pepperonata and 2 cups of water or chicken/vegetable broth. Bring to a boil for a delicious instant minestrone soup. Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
Leftovers recipe: Pepperonata Fritatta In a 6-7 inch skillet, on medium high heat, add 1 and 1/2 cups Pepperonata. Whisk together 3 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk. Pour over the Pepperonata. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese over top. Turn heat to low, cover and cook until eggs have set up.

SEAN HOY
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Akshat Sethi had an “itch.” The successful financier/entrepreneur wanted to try his hand at being a restaurateur. Seven years ago, he created Thai Chili, a sit-down restaurant in Gilbert that boasts nearly 70 menu choices. It became a neighborhood favorite. “My family approached me about doing something in the restaurant (industry),” said Sethi, who moved here from New Delhi, India, at age 23. “My background is in financial services and I’m still invested in that. “I concurred, and I love it.” The real boom came with Thai Chili 2 Go, a chain of fast-casual restaurants that simplifies the Asian country’s cuisine. Sethi has Thai Chili 2 Go eateries in Queen Creek, southeast Mesa and Gilbert. The Scottsdale location is set to open in early December. Flagstaff,
Tucson and Denver are up next, as is an additional Gilbert eatery near SanTan Village. Menu choices include starters such as spring rolls, dumplings, and two varieties of Thai hot and sour soup. There are a variety of familiar and traditional main entrée dishes including pad prig pao, spicy eggplant, red curry, panang curry, drunken noodles and Thai chow mein. “We pulled all the data for five years of us doing the main restaurant,” Sethi said. “We wanted to know how we could make it simpler. “I go to Chipotle a lot. The speed of service gravitated me toward the quick-serve model.” Guests order at the counter, but the food is brought to the table in “real bowls” and silverware, he said, to make the ambiance a little warmer. Crispy and warm, Thai spring rolls are filled with ground chicken, glass noodles and vegetables ($2). For the entrees, the bowls are large and filled to the brim with vegetables, meat (if requested) and other ingredients. Rice is served on the side. The sweet and sour chicken featured pineapple, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and water chestnuts
Scottsdale’s location will be no different. Thai Chili 2 Go can cater to professionals and residential diners at the eatery, which will house 32 inside and 16 outside. “All the professionals who are busy want something that is fresh and quick and healthy to go,” Sethi said. “They can come to our location and enjoy fresh Thai food in a quick-serve setting. We partner with Uber and Grub Hub, too.” Thai Chili 2 Go also offers an advanceorder mobile app, and online orders with “skip the line” options. “It’s extremely challenging to keep innovating and ahead of the curve and making sure we’re learning from mistakes and making things happen in the right direction,” he said. “Retails is all about detail. I pay extreme attention to detail. Customer service is my forte. The restaurant business just happened, but I’m loving it and I’m expanding rapidly.”

sautéed in a homemade, thick sauce ($9). The Thai chow mein bowl was overrun with egg noodles, stir-fried with yellow onions, bell peppers, carrots, bean sprouts and green onions in Thai Chili’s secret sauce ($9). The real “secret” to Sethi’s success is his “kitchen mama,” Tuk Taweepoljareon, a 65-year-old Thai chef. “She’s been with me since the beginning,” he said. “She is exemplary. She has 30 years of experience in doing Thai cooking and street cooking in Thailand. She owned a restaurant in the Valley a while ago. “I was lucky enough to stumble upon her. She is a replica of my standards. We want the best flavor available without compromising the quality of our food.” The foundation, he said, is made with authentic ingredients. Sethi doesn’t shortchange when it comes to recipes. Everything is 100 percent Thai. Non-GMO tofu and non-GMO rice bran is used, instead of canola or soybean oil. “Everything is fresh to order,” he said. “The only way to give you good food is to cook it fresh. You want pad Thai with chicken, spicy hot? We cook it for you in front of you. The kitchen is open.”

Arizona native Scott Hanson moved to Scottsdale in 1990. Much of his time immediately prior – first in Flagstaff and then in the Valley at KPHO TV 5 – was spent as a sportscaster. But his professional connection to the local sports community began much earlier. “I started officiating high school football and baseball as a college student in 1979, when high schools like Chaparral, Coronado and the now-defunct Scottsdale High were considered north Scottsdale,” said Hanson, whose sons – Matt and Mike – attended Horizon High School in the early 2000s. “I’ve seen a lot in my 30 years behind the plate and on the various fields in this town, and beyond – so much, in fact, I want to help preserve the legacy of high school sports throughout Arizona.” Over the course of the last several years, Hanson authored two books: Who Is Gym? and What’s Your Number? photo page

(Both books are available for $19.95 at scotthansonauthor.com.) “Who Is Gym? is focused on telling the fascinating stories about the names behind Arizona’s high schools and their sports venues,” Hanson said. The book, released in 2015, was the result of three years of research and interviews with Arizona’s high school athletic directors, administrators, alumni, librarians, local historians, longtime school employees, relatives of those honored, the honorees themselves and others who may have known the people whose names adorn the buildings and fields across Arizona. “The idea for the book started around 2012 on a Friday night at Cactus High School as my football crew was preparing to officiate the school’s varsity football game. The field was named M.L. Huber Stadium. Not familiar with Huber, I asked a couple people at the school

who he was. To my surprise, they didn’t know who Huber was either,” Hanson said. “Then a week later, our football crew was at Independence High School and I asked about the story behind their Tolmachoff Stadium. I got the same answer. It was then that I was motivated to action.” Among the Scottsdale and Northeast Valley schools’ stories shared in the book are North Canyon High School, Paradise Valley High School, Shadow Mountain High School, Horizon High School, Notre Dame Preparatory, Scottsdale Christian Academy, Scottsdale Preparatory, Thunderbird Adventist, Coronado High School and Chaparral High School. And while at first he never thought he had a second story in him, it was again on the field in 2016 – this time while umpiring at Paradise Valley High School – that inspiration struck. “Just after the national anthem, my umpire partner Stan ‘The Man’ Hoover pointed to the right field fence and said ‘That’s your next book’,” Hanson said. “He was motioning to the retired jersey numbers that adorned the fence, and by the third inning, I had already asked the coach about the stories and people behind those retired numbers.” After a year of research, Hanson released What’s Your Number? earlier this

fall. The book shines a light on Arizona’s most legendary high school athletes, as well as those lost too soon and those who inspired others to greatness. “To date, only 186 individuals have retired numbers at Arizona high schools,” Hanson said. The most notable in the area include former MLB pitcher and Arizona Diamondbacks legend Curt Schilling, whose number 19 is retired at Shadow Mountain High School; current MLB outfielder Peter Boujos, whose number 8 is retired at Notre Dame Preparatory; current MLB catcher Tuff y Gosewisch, whose number 2 is retired at Horizon High School; and former MLB All-Star catcher Paul Konerko, whose number 9 is retired at Chaparral High School. “There are also many stories, not only of amazing athletes, but tremendous people who had such a positive impact on those around them,” Hanson said. “Basketball player Jared Frame, for example, whose number 30 is no longer issued at Scottsdale Christian Academy. He lost his life at just 20 years old just before his junior year at Baylor, due to complications from a heart defect. In addition to his number no longer being issued, SCA’s national holiday basketball tournament is now called the Jared Frame Memorial Cactus Jam in his honor.”

How to avoid going into the red on Black Friday By Alison Bailin Batz For many, throwing around the football Thanksgiving morning and then sitting down for a big family meal Thanksgiving night are beloved holiday traditions. But for many more, the real annual tradition takes place after turkey day – shopping. “In 2015 alone, Americans spent more than $626 billion in stores and $105 billion online during the holiday season,” said Mike Brown, Arizona regional president of Washington Federal. “All signs point to both of these numbers trending up this year, with stores continuing aggressive incentives coupled by Americans reopening their wallets post-recession.” But is the debt really worth it? “Unfortunately, it isn’t until after the New Year when the credit card bill comes. Then what was meant as a loving gesture and special gift during the holidays quickly turns into regret for many,” said Seth Wilde, a financial advisor at Wilde Wealth Management Group. “In fact, Consumer Reports estimates that at
this very second, as many as 12 million Americans are still paying off credit card debt accrued during the 2015 holiday season.” So how can you avoid suffering from a debt hangover this season?
Build a budget by using real math
“Create a budget and stick with it,” said Dustin Brown, president of DM Brown Financial Services. “Before you start spending, do a little math and figure out how much you can afford.” A general rule of thumb, according to Dustin Brown, is to use the “1.5 rule.” “Don’t spend more than 1.5 percent of your total gross income on holidayrelated expenses. If you’re already in debt, consider spending less than one percent,” Dustin Brown said.
Be creative and picky
Not all gift recipients are created equal. “Don’t stress about spending a ton of money on every single person in your
life,” Mike Brown said. “Start by making a list of people who might enjoy something homemade, rather than store-bought, in fact.” For those people – coworkers, old friends and perhaps more distant relatives – get creative with your family and bake them cookies or bring them a home-cooked meal one night.
Sweat the small stuff and plan for it
Sure, there are people you want to make the holiday extra special for with extravagant gifts. But don’t forget all the “other stuff ” that goes along with those gifts. “People often forget to budget for special wrapping paper, elaborate cards or even cute stocking stuffers they buy on a whim for those they love,” Wilde said. “Those little extras can add up to hundreds – even thousands – of extra dollars, not to mention the bottle of wine here or hostess gift there bought to bring to holiday parties every weekend.” Wilde recommends making a list of all holiday-related parties, open houses and even work functions – and including all expenses involved with each to the overarching budget. “This includes the cost of that new suit or dress – and yes, even shoes – you
might buy to attend these parties, too,” Wilde said.
Cash before credit Simply put, don’t spend money you don’t already have. “And if you can’t trust yourself, why not avoid unnecessary and impulsive purchases by leaving the credit cards at home when shopping,” Mike Brown said. “Then you are disciplining yourself to truly only use cash or a debit card, even on an impulse buy.”
Say no to store-branded cards
Resist the temptation to get store credit cards. “The low introductory interest rates may seem enticing, but that rate will expire – and sooner than you think,” Dustin Brown said.
Gift cards for the win Finally, Wilde advises shoppers to consider one final strategy: gift cards. “Determine a set amount you want to spend on each person, and then shop around for a gift card in that amount that would actually mean something to them,” Wilde says. “Find something they love – a local spa, restaurant, even a resort – and buy a gift card with some meaning behind it, and note it when giving the gift, too.”
Is your estate plan current? Have you had it reviewed recently? Estate plans don’t ‘expire.’ However, personal circumstances and laws do change. Reviewing your plan is an opportunity to make sure it still fits your current needs. You should have your estate plan reviewed if: 1. Your plan was not created in Arizona; 2. Your plan was created more than two years ago; 3. You are unsure whether your trust addresses potential capital gains and/or income tax issues; or 4. You, your spouse or your named beneficiaries have had a change in circumstances (financial or personal). There are several more reasons to have your plan reviewed, including the importance of understanding the plan you have in place and how it will impact those you care about.

Dash digital currency now 215 times cheaper than Bitcoin Dash, a digital currency company headquartered in ASU’s SkySong Innovation Center, has launched a new upgrade that reduces its transaction fees to near zero while doubling its network capacity. With the upgrade, digital transactions with Dash will cost 2.8 cents each. By contrast, digital currency Bitcoin carries costs of about $6 per transaction. “As a payments-focused network, we strongly believe that maintaining low transaction fees is a prerequisite to developing a healthy network over the long term,” said Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor. “High transaction fees affect both consumers and merchants looking to spend the incoming funds. The users of several other networks have experienced firsthand the impact that high fees can have on their daily lives, as many low-value transactions such as prepaid phone top-ups or gift card purchases are priced out of the market.” “With this release, Dash is demonstrating our roadmap to scale digital currency is actively working, while keeping costs low for our users,” Taylor continued. “Dash is silently becoming the network Bitcoin once promised to be.”

Washington Federal named top bank in Arizona by MONEY magazine Washington Federal, which has its regional headquarters in Scottsdale and 31 branches across the state, has been named “Best Bank in Arizona” by MONEY and money.com. The accolade was determined after MONEY’s project partner, Bankrate.com, collected data on fees, interest rates and account requirements for checking and savings accounts at more than 160 financial institutions. “It has been a busy fall for us – between this honor and opening our first-ever Arizona regional headquarters, which is located at 6720 N. Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale,” said Mike Brown, Arizona regional president. Brown added another key to receiving the honor from MONEY is Washington Federal’s commitment to being a portfolio lender on the mortgage side of the business. “As a portfolio lender, when we make a loan, our clients trust us to not only fund the loan but manage it for the life of the loan. To put a more humane face on it, owning our own home loans enabled us to keep 3,000 families in their homes during the Great Recession,” Brown said. “We worked with homeowners who had temporarily fallen on hard times, and today 96 percent of those families are current on their mortgage payments.”
