Scottsdale's Wilde Wealth Management Group donates kits for abused children
Scottsdale’s Wilde Wealth Management Group supported Free Arts for Abused Children by crafting affirmation cards and bravery bracelet kits for nearly 60 local youth participants. The volunteer project included a fundraising effort for items on the children’s wish lists. “Each quarter, in addition to our team’s participation on individual nonprofit boards and other fundraising activities, we choose a local nonprofit organization that will allow us to volunteer time together on a single day so that we may affect positive change as a team,” says Trevor Wilde, co-founder and chief executive officer of Wilde Wealth Management Group. The tasks were accomplished through Wilde for Arizona, its community relations arm. In addition to this project, Wilde recently engaged its offices statewide in a volunteer effort for the Southwest Human Development Reading Buddies program as well as a project for the city of Scottsdale's Brown Bag Program, which helps seniors in need. Wilde also partnered with Arizona Tuition Connection on the development of a scholarship fund that will help low-income students to attend Notre Dame Preparatory Academy this school year. They are also active in their support for Toys for Tots, Junior Achievement of Arizona and Sunshine Acres. Info: freeartsaz.org

Plexus Worldwide promoted Chris Reid to chief legal officer. In his expanded role, Reid will lead the legal, regulatory affairs, corporate affairs, quality and compliance teams, as well as provide strategic counsel to the company’s executive team and independent sales representatives, dubbed “brand ambassadors.” “This is a well-deserved promotion for Chris, a strategic adviser and trusted member of the executive team who has consistently enhanced our business integrity through ethics, quality, compliance and consumer protection standards to be among the best in the digital age,” says Tarl Robinson, Plexus Worldwide chief executive officer and co-founder. “Since joining Plexus, Chris has spearheaded numerous enhancements including contract and legal inquiry management, along with quality modernization to ensure our customers can rely on a world-class quality assurance system.” Reid has more than 39 years of experience in the legal field, with 29 of those spent in the direct selling industry. He joined Plexus in August of 2015 as vice president of compliance and corporate affairs. In 2017, he was named vice president of compliance and general counsel. “Partnering with legislators to advance public policy and selfregulatory standards at the local level to the international marketplace will continue to be a key part of how we do business,” Reid said. “I am honored the executive team at Plexus continues to trust my expertise as the company grows.”
Creta joins Wilde Wealth Management Group as a registered professional
Wilde Wealth Management Group has hired Kenneth Creta as a registered professional in its Airpark-area headquarters. New York native Creta studied at Hartwick College in New York, where he earned a degree in economics before enlisting in the military, serving in the continental Army as well as Vietnam. Upon his honorable discharge in the 1960s, Creta began his career as a registered representative with Bache & Co. on Wall Street. Creta worked in New York for more than 10 years until making the move to Arizona in 1980. “My interest in aligning with Wilde began thanks to my friendship with Mike Self, founder of Self Wealth Management, who is a colleague and friend for more than 30 years,” Creta says. Self Wealth Management joined Wilde in December. Both teams retained their branding, and Self moved from his current location at 7373 N. Scottsdale Road to Wilde Wealth’s headquarters a block away at 7025 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 115. “Through the move, Mike gained access to the depth of experience as well as the array of in-house service offerings in the fields of legal, taxes, risk management, family services, real estate and insurance, which Wilde Wealth offers. That similarly appealed to me,” Creta says. “I also realized I needed to add youth and depth to my practice, and to do so with the highest-quality people. I believe Wilde Wealth Management clearly meets that need. This partnership ensures that I’ve taken the steps to ensure the long-term success of my clients’ futures.”

AIRPARK BusinessNews Thunderbird Field II supports relationship with Dogs4Vets
Airpark-based Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial financially supported Dogs4Vets of the American Service Animal Society, a nonprofit organization offering no-cost service dog training to veterans. D4V is one of the largest programs of its kind in the nation. Arizona has 96,000 disabled veterans, and 35% of them have serious disabilities. “As a veteran, I am extremely proud and honored to be able to support such a worthwhile cause,” says Steve Ziomek, TB2 chairman and president. “The help and financial assistance TB2 will provide to the Dogs4Vets organization will go a long way toward helping many disabled veterans live a more productive life.” Dogs4Vets was founded in 2005 in Gilbert and has a satellite location in Pinedale. The training programs are tailor-made for each veteran’s specific need and uses the veteran’s dog or, if the veteran doesn’t have a dog, D4V will assist in finding one. Approximately 100 veterans and their dogs are trained each year. D4V’s dedicated staff also specializes in mobility assistance; seizure alert; diabetes alert; traumatic brain injury; MST; Parkinson’s and all forms of PTSD; and psychological disorders, such as night terrors, depression and anxiety. It takes 10 to 16 months, depending on the tasks needed, to complete training and obtain service dog certification which includes lifetime support. Continuing education is also offered to those who have completed the program. Info: dogs4vets.org or tbird2.org In other news, Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial has awarded an aviation scholarship to Kathryn Pena, a Pima Community College student who is pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in aircraft powerplant mechanics. Before enrolling in the PCC aviation program, Pena received her paramedic and EMT certifications from the college. Although being a paramedic was her dream job, she decided to make a professional career change to spend more time with her family. PCC avionics instructor Brey Mitchell says, “There are people we come across in life that exude motivation and determination in everything they do. Kathryn is one of those people. From the moment she started this program, the tremendous tenacity for learning was apparent. Earning her place here while starting a business and taking care of her family was no walk in the park, and we applaud her effort and dedication. I can speak for everyone here at the Aviation Technology Center when I say there is no doubt that she deserved this scholarship. I am eager to see how she applies her hard work in her future endeavors to be the best aviation technician she can be.”

New Neighbor Flight school gives airport a baker’s dozen By J. Graber dd one more to the number of flight training schools at the Scottsdale Airport. Cirrus Aircraft is opening a flight training school exclusively for its burgeoning West Coast clientele base this month. The training will be strictly for owners of Cirrus aircraft learning to fly or looking to stay up to date on federal ongoing-training requirements. Including Cirrus, there are now 13 flight schools at Scottsdale Airport — 12 fixed-wing schools and one for planes and helicopters. “The expansion of Cirrus Flight Training in Arizona continues our mission of providing world-class training through both our company-owned facilities and partner network around the world,” says Zean Nielsen, chief executive officer for Cirrus Aircraft. “We are excited to begin offering this premium flight training service in Scottsdale that builds on our Cirrus services initiative to redefine personal aviation through a worldclass customer service experience.” Cirrus chose the Scottsdale Airport because of its proximity to its expanding West Coast market and a nearby trained workforce. The company already operates an innovation center in Chandler that provides avionics, electrical and software engineering services. It also supports the product development team responsible for advancing new technologies and designs for innovative product introductions. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for November. “We really live and breathe making the customer experience unlike anything else,” company spokesperson Nadia Haidar said. “We go above and beyond anything a pilot has every experienced.” And safety is priority No. 1. In fact, all of the company’s planes come with a parachute system for the entire plane called CAPS. “With a simple pull of the red T-handle, the rocket-propelled parachute system

deploys and lowers the entire airplane — so you and your passengers are back to the ground while still safely inside the protected environment of your Cirrus,” a company statement says. “What this really means is more than 170 people have been returned to their families because of CAPS.” The company’s jet model, Vision Jet, also includes a system called “Safe Return” that will land the plane if the pilot is incapacitated. Cirrus also offers its SR line of singleengine piston craft. The additional flight school will mean more noise around the airport. The airport has received over 21,854 noise complaints since January 1. The last noise abatement study at the airport was completed in 2005. Many of the noise complaints are stemming from the flight schools at the airport, airport aviation Planning and Outreach Coordinator Sarah Ferrara says. Flight schools generate complaints because they tend to fly certain patterns around the airport repeatedly. Flights landing and taking off between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. also generate complaints “We reach out to operators to ask for their cooperation, but because we get federal grants we must, must stay open (24 hours per day, seven days per week),” Ferrara said. Military training planes using the airport are also a minor source of complaints. “Most people understand they are training for the military,” Ferrara says. Haidar says the school will operate during

“typical business hours.” Marge Hasslinger, who has lived near Hayden Road and Princess Drive for eight years, once described the noise from the flight school back in May 2000 as “ruining my life” but now says that noise is largely abated. The number of training flights, and their accompanying noise, picked up substantially around the time COVID-19 hit in March 2020, Hasslinger says. However, that has lessened little by little until she is no longer thinking about moving. There have been 21,854 noise complaints registered with the airport for the first half of this year, but 21,136 have been made by a single person, according to the airport’s records. If you remove that one person from the equation, complaints are down 258 between the first half of last year and the first half of this year. Approximately 195,852 takeoffs and landings occurred in 2020, making Scottsdale one of the busiest corporate jet facilities in the state. About 455 aircraft are based at Scottsdale Airport, from single-engine recreational planes to numerous corporate jets. The airport is the busiest single-runway, general aviation airport and the second-busiest single runway for all airports in the nation. Aviation activity at the airport and airpark created $688 million in total economic benefits for the region in FY 2019. The spin-off benefit is $10 billion per year. Additionally, there are more than 1,704 aviation-related jobs at the airport and in the Airpark.

Local couple helps ‘build’ shelter without walls
E
By Alison Bailin Batz ach October, the United States observes National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. An epidemic in the nation, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: • On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. • 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner-contact sexual violence and/or intimate partner stalking. • 1 in 7 women and 1 in 25 men have been injured by an intimate partner. • 1 in 10 women has been raped by an intimate partner. To address the unmet needs of Maricopa County survivors of domestic violence and their children who are residing outside of a shelter setting, Jewish Family & Children’s Service founded Shelter Without Walls in 1998. At the time, it was the first nonresidential domestic violence program in Maricopa County (and one of the first in the nation) to offer comprehensive services to victims who were not in a shelter setting. “JFCS’ Shelter Without Walls program is focused on helping those domestic violence survivors who have yet to separate from the abusive partner but want to live independently and need assistance to do so safely,” says Linda Scott, vice president of Child & Family Solutions at JFCS. “The program also targets survivors transitioning out of local shelters and those living independently from their abusive partners but who are disconnected from services and struggling to remain independent.” Given the program is run through a

We raised our children here; we made our life here,” says Herschel, who served for many years as a cardiologist across the Valley, including as chief of cardiology at Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center, before retiring in 2007. “While we are very blessed that domestic violence has never directly touched our family, it is hard not to think of my own two daughters when I think of the women in need of services from JFCS’ Shelter Without Walls.” In a show of support for those providing service through the program, and to lend a hand to lift up survivors working through the program, the Richters made the decision on a sizeable investment in it in recent months, ensuring Shelter Without Walls would not just survive, but thrive, despite COVID-19. “COVID-19 actually helped us make the decision to donate,” Valerie says. “During the first couple of months of the pandemic, the organization didn’t see a lot of requests for help. But that doesn’t mean that incidents of domestic abuse decreased. In fact, initial indicators showed just the opposite.” When the Richters learned victims were hunkered down or back in violent situations due to the pandemic, they knew action was required to provide active support to them as they make their way to safety these months later. “Shelter Without Walls works closely for more than a year — or as long as it takes — with participants to ensure their safety and ability to provide for themselves and their children while maintaining their independence and self-respect,” Herschel says. “The goal of staff and supporters is that women and children get safe and stay safe.” This comprehensive case management, according to Herschel, focuses on whatever each individual needs to do this. “When victims decide to leave their abusers, they need safe, affordable housing. They need food, clothing and cleaning supplies,” Scott says. “They also need mental health support, as we’re finding that COVID-related isolation — even for those in safe shelter settings — has triggered feelings of the same isolation inflicted by their abuser.” According to Scott, intimate partner
violence is not always easy to recognize, because it is often about controlling someone’s mind and emotions as much as hurting their body. The signs may not be as obvious as a bruise, but it’s important to be aware of what some of the indicators might be. Even for those living in an abusive relationship, it can be difficult to recognize that what they are experiencing is abuse. Some common warning signs of abuse may include: • Jealousy. • Unpredictability (loving one minute and mean the next). • Cruelty to animals. • Verbal abuse. • Extremely controlling behavior. • Antiquated beliefs about roles of women and men in relationships. • Forced sex or disregard of their partner’s unwillingness to have sex or to engage in certain sex acts. • Blaming the victim for anything bad that happens, including the abuse. • Sabotage or obstruction of the victim’s ability to work or attend school. • Controlling all finances. • Controlling what victim wears and how they act. • Embarrassment or humiliation of the victim in front of others. “We worked very hard for many years to ensure our family was in a good position,” Valerie says. “When we sat down years ago and decided to make the concerted effort to financially support causes, we did it and continue to do it to lift others up — especially anyone going through the violence Linda has noted — and help them into a better long-term position.” According to Scott, this is not the Richters’ first time coming to the rescue when a program was in need. “Within our organization, their generosity has been tremendous,” says Scott, adding the couple was instrumental in the funding of JFCS’ Real World Job Development program. The program primarily supports young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 who need help preparing for the future as they transition out of foster care, among many others. Their commitment to JFCS’ mission extends even beyond the Shelter Without Walls program. In 2019, the Richters made another major investment in JFCS in support of our new East Valley Healthcare Center in Gilbert. To learn more, or to get involved, visit jfcsaz.org.

Jazz
Benefactors unveil Lakeshore’s new venue By Bridgette Redman
T
he dream of two Valley jazz supporters will open its doors this October. Bob and Gretchen Ravenscroft have built the new 30,000-square-foot performing arts venue bearing their name at 8445 E. Hartford Drive in the Scottsdale Perimeter Complex. The first resident company to perform there will be Lakeshore Music, which is moving from the Tempe Center for the Arts. The opening show, the Kenny Barron Trio, is sold out. Woody Wilson, Lakeshore’s founder and artistic director, says advance sales for the season are impressive. Out of the 1,800 available seats for the season, there are only about 500 remaining. “It’s a beautiful new building,” Wilson says. “It’s 200 seats, which is what we had at TCA, and I’m excited about it.”

Wilson says the Ravenscrofts have supported Lakeshore since he founded it in 2009 and through the pandemic. “So, when Bob said he was going to build a theater in Scottsdale and asked if we would come with him, I said, ‘Fine,’” Wilson recalls. “We’ve been at TCA for a long time and saw the ups and downs of the building. I helped pass the …continues on page 14
ARTS
…continued from page 12 arts tax, which supports the building now. My contact with Tempe still remains, but I’ve just changed buildings.” Wilson says the building is more high-tech than others. It is a recording and a listening facility with a sound system he calls second to none. “It incorporates the Constellations Sound System, which is a leading sound system of buildings and venues throughout the world,” Wilson says. “No expense has been spared for this room to be a video center and a broadcasting center. There is a sound studio back behind the venue itself. It’s got everything new. It is exciting in terms of the acoustic and the fidelity.”
Built to high standards
Ravenscroft Director David Bauer agreed this venue is the couple’s dream. “They have had a desire to establish a venue that achieves the highest-quality experience of music and artistic excellence,” Bauer says. “Ravenscroft embodies their heart and their passion for presenting arts and music at the highest level of excellence possible. At the core of who Bob and Gretchen are is that they want music and arts to be presented in such a way that ultimately brings attention to God or draws people to the creative wonder that God places in artists and musicians.” Bob Ravenscroft is a longtime arts lover. The couple’s nonprofit foundation, Music Serving the Word, is committed to presenting arts in an enriching way. Bauer says the building helps the Ravenscrofts do that.
“We inherit a series that is already well established, has a good track record and momentum, and we’re able to host something that is already readymade,” Bauer says. “It just made sense for us to partner with Woody. (The series) will make a big splash in the community and benefit him with a spectacular venue to bring all of his patrons who have been following him for years.” Bauer says the venue allows for video and video mapping on the side and back walls. “What sets us apart from a lot of other venues is that this particular venue has been built with the highest level of commitment to architecture and design as it relates to acoustics,” Bauer adds. “The technology that has been implemented and built into the space is unique. It creates an immersive experience for the audience.”
Intimacy in the Jazzbird
In addition to the 200-seat concert hall, the venue houses Jazzbird, a lounge which, starting Fridays in October, will host music from popular and up-and-coming local musicians. It will serve light food and a selection of wine and local craft beers. “The Jazzbird is a hang space on Friday nights when we do our weekly thing,” Bauer says. “Once a month, we have another series called Jazz for the Soul. It is a casual, performance-driven space where you can come and enjoy some food and beverage, sit in a nice lounge environment and enjoy a beautiful stage with audio, video and lighting capabilities that will also serve to create an immersive bar experience. It is a full jazz show scene experience, kind of like a New York City jazz club.” Lakeshore’s opening reception is at the Jazzbird, which seats about 100 patrons.
Lakeshore returns to live performances
Wilson says their season almost didn’t happen. During the pandemic closure, Wilson’s wife, Carol, died from cancer complications. She will be honored during the first of nine piano-centric shows. Carol never missed a performance. “Every one of these shows has a great pianist in it,” Wilson says. Season tickets went on sale May 24. They are slightly pricier because it costs more to put the artists in hotels and feed them in Scottsdale. “We want people to come and see this beautiful facility,” Wilson says. “It is remarkable that people actually have the wherewithal to build a building like this and take a risk on it,” Wilson says. “The Ravenscrofts have been an integral part of the jazz and music scene in Phoenix for many years. They are one of the leading philanthropists when it comes to jazz music in the United States. To have someone step up and build a building like this with their own private money is pretty remarkable on a national scale.” Bauer agrees the building is going to be a major boon for jazz lovers. “If they are looking for something more than a concert with sound, but something that really brings you into the whole performance — this is going to be the place to get that,” Bauer says.

ENAISSANCE
WOMAN Dawn Mougel trades homes for health By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

16 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / OCTOBER 2021
Be your own kind of beautiful” is emblazoned on the wall at Dawn Mougel’s Airpark-based practice, A New Dawn Wellness Center. The mantra is one that Mougel has adhered to since she opened the center in a salon suite in August 2018. She moved into the Airpark on June 5. “I think it sums up everything,” she says. “People come in because they feel like they’re looking older. They don’t like the way they look. They have hormone imbalances. They have sexual health issues.” After seeing the way her grandmother was treated in a hospital, Mougel is caring for her patients the right way — wholistically. Too many people, she says, seek a quick and easy treatment for a health or beauty issue. She believes in looking beyond the problem and treating the whole person so it does not reoccur. “A wholistic approach is important to me — the outside, the inside, their appearance,” she says. “I want them to feel good and to feel happy.” Mougel is the definition of a renaissance woman. She worked in real estate for more than 10 years and, even though she was successful, she was not fulfilled. She was inspired by her grandmother to turn her focus toward medicine. “She was always in and out of the hospital,” she says. “Although there are great doctors and nurses in hospitals, there were a few situations when she didn’t get the care that I would have given to her. “I just felt like I could be better and do better.” Mougel is a strong believer that nurses and others in the medical field should care about their patients “and cry with their families.” “I wanted more for patients in general,” she adds.
The team at A New Dawn Wellness Center includes, from left, Rachel Metz, LE, CLT, aesthetician and certified laser technician; Dawn Mougel, FNP-C, board-certified family nurse practitioner and owner/founder of A New Dawn Wellness Center; and Alexa Worth, LE, CLT, medical assistant, aesthetician and certified laser technician.
With three boys younger than 6 in tow — literally — Mougel headed to GateWay Community College for her associate’s in nursing, which was partnered with the Banner Fellowship Program. From there, she studied nursing at Grand Canyon University. “I wanted to show my kids that it’s never too late to do what you want,” she says. Mougel’s grandmother watched her graduate from GateWay. During her nursing career, she worked in a variety of departments and ended in trauma/ICU. At Banner, Mougel created a team nursing approach to support the patient and the employees. “Nurses are super overworked and overwhelmed,” she says. “That ended up something they did facilitywide. After that, I
left that hospital and went on to trauma ICU, where I was a preceptor, or trainer. My goal was to train new nurses and other people in that same area.” Once again, she wanted to further her education, this time earning a master ’s degree, which was part of the family nurse practitioner program, online through South University. She’s now a board-certified family nurse practitioner. She did so because she yearned to have her own practice. She wanted to treat patients the way she would want to be treated. “I did not want red tape or politics,” Mougel says. “It’s me just being genuine. I want to build relationships with patients and help them with every aspect of life. I wanted to spend time with them. You can’t always do that in a hospital setting. I like to spend the time I think they all deserve.”
Wellness and beauty
Dawn Mougel subscribes to the mantra “Be your own kind of beautiful,” which is emblazoned on the wall near her lobby.
Mougel started a modest practice, the aptly named A New Dawn Wellness Center, that shared her vision. She rented a oneroom salon suite and offered a handful of treatments and services. Mougel’s plan was to “grow when I could afford to.” As her patient base increased, she expanded her space until she purchased a

building in the Scottsdale Airpark in October 2020 “through blood, sweat and tears.” It opened June 5. The staff of the 3,200-square-foot, nine-treatment room A New Dawn Wellness Center believes that health, beauty and confidence are connected. Combining years of education with innovative techniques and integrative care, she is committed to helping patients and clients improve their health, confidence and overall well-being. At a New Dawn Wellness Center, Mougel works with balancing hormones, testosterone issues and sexual health. Diet and lifestyle modifications have proven successful with patients who want to lose weight or lower their cholesterol. Mougel also focuses on rejuvenation. She offers facial fillers, gel-like substances that are injected under the skin in areas like lips, cheeks and temples. They are made from com-
pounds like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite or Poly-L-lactic acid. A New Dawn Wellness Center only uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers. “We restore that youthful appearance,” she says. “I don’t like the overfilled, overdone look. That’s just not me as a practitioner who injects. I like for people to look refreshed like they’ve had a good night’s sleep. That is definitely my trademark. That is where I hang my hat.” Facial fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin in areas like lips, cheeks, temples and more. Fillers can be made up of different compounds, like hyaluronic acid (HA) or calcium hydroxylapatite. A New Dawn Wellness Center uses HA-based fillers. Hyaluronic acid, when injected, creates plumpness and hydration. Facial fillers are popular because results are immediate and can last up

to two years. Mougel consults with patients before their treatment to evaluate the specific areas of concern. Mougel’s husband, Dylan, told her she was going to miss the adrenaline-fueled trauma department. She acknowledges it sounds “crazy,” but it was satisfying. “He’s the reason I keep doing what I do, support every crazy decision I have. “However, this gives me the same satisfaction,” she adds. “Nobody is sick or dying, but they come in and they still have a need that has to be filled. There’s a void they’re looking to fill. They don’t feel pretty in their skin. “I look at the whole picture and figure out what needs to be done, whether it’s aesthetic or a lifestyle change, and address all of that. Whether they’re broken or upset or sad, to know I can help them when they’re vulnerable is satisfying. When they look in the mirror and tear up, it’s all worth it. I will never retire.”

A Wholistic Approach Health Inside Out individualizes treatment
O By Laura Latzko
ften, mental, physical and emotional health are tied to each other. Airpark-based Health Inside Out seeks to help clients to heal, feel better and detox using a collection of modalities and programs. Wellness Director Angelo Alvarez says that’s what makes the practice special. “We are on the cutting edge,” Alvarez says. “We use a variety of modalities that we piggyback off of each other to achieve
amazing results.” The facility takes a holistic approach, individualizing treatments for each patient. Among the treatments are cryotherapy, exercise with oxygen therapy, acupressure massage beds, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, BrainTap-guided meditation, ozone and peptide therapy, shockwave therapy, Photon Genius infrared heat therapy, leg and body compression, IV nutrient therapy, nutrient injections, red light therapy, guided breathing and cupping therapy.

Clients can also have a number of massages, like deep tissue, Chi Nei Tsang and therapeutic massage. Another type is combined with a PEMF device that uses electromagnetic energy. The center uses an InBody Test that takes types of weight measurements and a heart rate variability test that offers information on the central nervous system by looking at the interval between heartbeats. The team — which also includes naturopathic medical Dr. Steven Sabatier and nutritionist/health coach and certified natural health practitioner Denise Cahill — centers its programs around detoxification, weight loss, anti-aging, performance and pain management. “There’s anti-aging. There’s prevention. There’s immune boost. There is pain management,” Alvarez says. “I do all of that. There’s weight loss. This clinic, the way that it is designed could do multiple things and help with peaking performance, recovery, sleep
disorders. We do a lot of stuff.” Clients undergo nutrition and wellness consultations to determine the best course of action, which often includes changes to lifestyle such as eating healthier, exercising and getting more restful sleep. The center offers memberships, some of which allow for unlimited use of 10 modalities while others are more limited. “When a client comes in, depending on what their goals or concerns are, it will determine how we create the protocol,” Alvarez says. “Let’s say you came in to me and you are ‘fight or flight.’ Very stressed out, very nervous. We start off by relaxing the nervous system. So, we start off with a PEMF. We’ll probably shock the system with a cold therapy and then put you in a PEMF after and start grounding you, retraining that neural pathway. If you have pain, something that we use is shockwave. It is acoustic sound therapy. That breaks down adhesions and calcifications.” Health Inside Out’s rooms are divided by treatment. Clients can relax before or after modalities in a break room. Alvarez says it is important that clients feel comfortable when they come into the facility. “Here you come into a place where you feel welcome, where you feel like you are at home, where you feel like you are safe,” Alvarez says. “We have a certain ambiance. We are not traditional, not bright lights and fancy furniture. We make things feel comfortable, make it where every room is unique.” The wellness center serves clients of all ages and backgrounds, including professional

athletes. Alvarez says the center tries to help people to achieve health and wellness. The staff also coaches, especially during cleaning and detoxification processes. Alvarez especially tries to create awareness on what foods are healthier and lets clients make their own decisions based on the information given. “We don’t really dictate for you what to eat,” Alvarez says. “We educate you. The education is more making you aware to stay away from foods that are made in labs or processed and eating healthier foods that the body recognizes and thrives off from.” Alvarez says that it is important for clients to put in the work and make lifestyle changes to achieve better results. “If you are going to come in here looking for you not to be accountable for anything on your end and depend on something to help you, you are wasting your time and money,” Alvarez says. “We’re not just a place that is going to tell you just keep coming and you will get better on your own. You’ve got to participate in something. If you want to lose weight but you have no self-control and are not active enough, we’ve got to get you active.” Many times, clients will make simplistic changes that will yield improvement. “It’s just getting you through the first hurdle,” Alvarez adds. “We can give you momentum. We can start making you feel good about yourself and make a little light peak out at the end of the tunnel so you have something to go for.”
Alvarez says the center tries to help clients by giving them the tools they need to be proactive about their physical, emotional and mental health and wellness. “We are a wellness center,” Alvarez says. “We help people to feel good. We don’t ‘treat’ anything, but we help with your mindset,” Alvarez said. “We do a lot of healing here, whether it is emotional healing, creating emotional releases. Anything that is going to weaken your immune system — if you’re not eating well, if you’re drinking too much, if you’re not sleeping well — it’s like peeling an onion. Everyone is unique. We treat everyone individually here. There is not one program for all.” Cohen says the modalities have helped her scoliosis and joint issues as well as with depression and anxiety. “It’s more emotional and more mental,” Cohen says. “You do the exercise, but it is more emotional. It’s more about taking care of yourself as a whole body. “It does take a different approach. It is more trying to help your body heal itself. That’s really the main goal is making your body healthy from the inside and be able to radiate that throughout the body.”

Sharing History Condo complex and museum forge fruitful union
A
By Alex Gallagher partnership between the Ascent at the Phoenician and Scottsdale Museum of the West is starting to bear fruit. As work begins on the Mountain Club at Ascent, developers have relied on museum leaders as they incorporate into the building an homage to the venerable Jokake Inn. The Mountain Club includes Ascent’s pool and fitness amenities. Tucked against the mountain, its “architecture is reminiscent of the Jokake Inn,”
says Todd Patrick, the vice president of sales and marketing for developer Replay Destinations, which has an office in the Airpark. “We wanted to build a modern interpretation of the Jokake Inn, which has ties to the adobe architecture.” Replay Destinations tries to incorporate the history of the area into its properties and turned to the Museum of the West to ensure Ascent echoes of the Jokake Inn, which opened as a tearoom in 1926 and began accommodating overnight guests two years later. Enter the now-2-year-old partnership between Replay Destinations and the Museum of the West. “This is a partnership that rightfully is with multiple beneficiaries, including the museum, Replay Destinations and its many new residents,” says Mike Fox, museum chief executive officer and director.
22 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / OCTOBER 2021
“I am certain many of the new residents come from backgrounds and interests in the arts and culture that will be stimulating and even expanding for us associated with the museum, too.” Replay Destinations asked Fox to track down artifacts, letters and any other information that reflected the Jokake Inn’s history. Noting that the Jokake Inn “had a tremendous history back in the early 1900s of hospitality, resorting, art and wine,” Patrick says Fox “helped us unearth some of the artifacts, stories and context of the Evans family, who built the Jokake Inn. “From that day on, we thought there would be a tremendous opportunity to partner on something,” he adds. Fox says the partnership has helped him promote his efforts to keep the history of the west alive outside of the museum’s walls. “This has always been my mantra in
helping museums develop in their communities — foster relationships that help share the information, knowledge, collections and other resources with a broader community than merely the visitors who come to the museum,” he says. “This is a tremendous opportunity being afforded in this relationship with an international corporation to meet and welcome, educate, excite and entertain many new residents to the Western region and get them to better understand and appreciate the American West.” Replay Destinations plans to house artifacts in a revolving exhibit within the Mountain Club. In turn, the works will have several themes and give residents a taste of the many exhibits on display at Scottsdale’s Museum of the West.
“We are anxious to introduce and energize these Ascent residents with the great themes of Western culture: integrity, optimism, perseverance, courage and creativity.”
“We are anxious to introduce and energize these Ascent residents with the great themes of Western culture: integrity, optimism, perseverance, courage and creativity,” Fox says. Within these themes, Patrick noticed striking similarities between the Jokake Inn guests and the incoming homeowners who put down payments on Ascent condominiums. “When we really got to understand the history of the people and the guests that came to that inn in the early 1900s, we had a whole collection of artifacts and letters that were written to the owners saying that the magic and the beauty of Camelback Mountain was why they came to visit the Jokake Inn decades ago,” he says. “It was very interesting to see that some of the letters and history of guests were similar to why people come to the desert today.” It was for that reason that Patrick created the Ascent at the Phoenician. “We’ve always wanted to do something special in the Scottsdale area,” he says, noting a parcel of land like that “does not come across a developer many times in our lifetime” in that it is “located adjacent to such a fantastic hotel property, at the base of an iconic mountain and right in the heart of Scottsdale.”
“It can’t be repeated.” Patrick says he believes the exhibits will motivate Ascent residents to see Scottsdale’s museums and art. “Our owners and guests will have a desire to be close to Fashion Square and Old Town, and we think this will give them the opportunity to drive over quickly once they want to see new exhibits at the museum or show friends who come into town the museum,” he says. Fox is equally excited about inviting new residents to Scottsdale’s Museum of the West. “Ascent at the Phoenician will add many new residents to the region, which gives us a tremendous opportunity to fulfill our mission and foster a relationship with the new residents of the new properties,” he says. Patrick also reported that the Ascent at the Phoenician has received down payments on 25 of its 30 golf villas that will be completed by the spring deadline and there are plans to open sales on 40 additional condominium units in about a month.

National summit for women comes to Civana By Annika Tomlin
W
omen enjoy collaborating with other hardworking women. At the KNOW Women Summit, presented by PNC Bank, women can connect, engage and learn from powerful businesswomen from across the country. The two-and-a-half day summit created by KNOW Women runs Thursday, October 21, to Saturday, October 23, at Civana Spa and Resort. “KNOW Women started in 2017 right here in Phoenix, Arizona, as a concept for a resource guide that showcases women to know and do business with,” says Sarah Benken, founder and CEO of KNOW Women. “It was a vetted guide called the KNOW Book where we selected and vetted and approved women from all different industries, all different ages, all different races to be part of this resource guide to showcase the amazing dynamic women who are doing big things in their industry as well as in the community.” Published in February 2018, the first KNOW Book profiled 130 women. By June of that year, there were 176 nominations for the next book. “I really just did this for my community because I wanted to meet and show the community all of these dynamic women that were in our cities, in our backyards doing big things,” the serial entrepreneur says. Following the launch party of the first KNOW Book, Benken realized she needed to go beyond a book and create a community. “I knew I wanted to be aligned with high-achieving women,” Benken says. “Women who were busy and juggling work and home, and really I wanted a place to let my hair down and be seen, so I created it.” KNOW Women is working on its fifth Phoenix volume, and the organization has expanded to 15 other cities across North America.
Vanessa Shaw, founder and chief executive officer of Business Growth Academy, will serve as a keynote speaker for the 2021 KNOW Women Summit.
“By the end of 2018, we launched four additional publications: Raleigh, North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina, where I’m from; Tampa, Florida; and Calgary, Canada,” Benken says. “We have local markets that host these KNOW Books, and we really launched in conjunction with that, along with memberships for women who want to align with our mission of women supporting women. We’ve also just expanded to becoming a full-service media company where we’ve got a podcast and we publish 16 articles a month on our KNOW Women’s site, which are the voices and stories of our members.” OCTOBER 2021 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS /

The 15 cities host events throughout the year, leading up to the national summit that — in nonpandemic times — is hosted in May. Benken assures that the summit will go back to May next year. “The summit is our annual gathering of women who are excited to learn, to be inspired, to grow with like-minded women,” Benken says. The summit begins with a “big welcome reception party” Thursday, October 21, followed by a slew of programming Friday and Saturday. “We have 18 breakout sessions that we’ll be hosting between the two days,” Benken explains. “That’s going to be learning workshopping and really getting tactical knowledge for your business and your life. “In between all of that, we have our four keynote speakers, two fireside chats, and we’ve got six panels. Panels are going to be more in depth and they are going to be in the afternoon, and they’re going to be focused around inspiration storytelling.” Keynote speakers include America’s foremost “auctiontainer” Letitia Frye and business success coach Vanessa Shaw. Fireside Chat speakers include JaSheika and JaNeika James, writers and producers for shows including “Empire” and “Desperate Housewives” and currently co-executive producers for HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl,” along with basketball Hall of Famer Ann Myers Drysdale.
Speaking to women
Shaw became an official KNOW Women member earlier this year after learning Benken was in her professional orbit. “I believe it was one of my own clients or someone in the community who said (Sarah and I) should really speak,” says Shaw, the chief executive officer and founder of Business Growth Academy. “We are just up to a similar mission as it relates to supporting women and businesses to grow businesses. Once we discovered that, it was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I want to jump on board,’ because this can be a beneficial community (for me). I want to be a part of this amazing community that she has built. Equally, I know that I have value that I can add to the community as well.” According to Shaw, her keynote speech will touch on money, whereas Benken described it as “how to get rich without being a (expletive).” “I’m going to be covering the question around ambition and ambition for women,” Shaw says. “I’m going to be covering the topic or several topics about how women really hold themselves back. We’ve discovered with all of my work at this point with thousands of
women, but there is really three key areas that come up time and time again, so we are going to be looking at those.” Shaw says her favorite part about being a keynote speaker is “really about getting what I believe is an important message out for women, business and financial success. Getting in front of a larger audience so that more people can hear it.” She hopes that her speech will have a “powerful ripple effect” and encourage others to normalize the conversation of talking about money and business. “I think as women we still hide out, and we don’t necessarily talk about finances,” Shaw says. “We don’t necessarily talk about really wanting to be ambitious and successful in

I’ve seen people who have side hustles retire from their corporate careers and actually launch their side hustle until they’re a full-time hustle.” our businesses. Our male counterparts don’t seem to have a challenge talking about those things, yet we still do, and it’s time for us to shift that conversation.” Shaw says she appreciates KNOW Women’s resources. “Honestly the favorite part is just the whole vibe, the environment that Sarah has created,” Shaw says. “It’s a very positive, uplifting environment, which is, again, unusual for women’s organizations. Women’s organizations — unfortunately — can get competitive and catty. I think Sarah is very keen on the type of relationships that she wants to build within the organization. That’s reflected in the caliber of people who participate in KNOW.”

Benken calls the event a “no-fluff summit, so women will probably cry and laugh

harder than you have ever had — especially now, given COVID. “You will leave with best friends — like friends for life. You will leave with partnerships and collaborations. Really by the end, you will be filled up spiritually and mentally.” Benken hopes attendees will be “ready to tackle the world” after the summit. The summit goes beyond speakers. It features workshops and a 2,500-square-foot area with a “beauty bar/braid bar, workstations, a mimosa bar and juice bar, and then snacks all day and coffee on tap,” according to Benken. “We also have a KNOW Women marketplace, which is going to be styled like a retail boutique,” Benken says. “We’ve got, I would say, about 50 womenowned businesses/products that are going to be housed there. Women will be able to shop from these hyperlocal community business owners who we’re pulling from all over.”
KNOW Women
The organization offers two memberships — empower and elite. Empower is available for any woman, while elite has guidelines. “They (elites) are the experts or the thought leaders who are actually pouring into the empower community,” Benken says. Through all the hard work, Benken says her organization has “been really fruitful” and loves to see the impact that it has on her community. “By far, my favorite thing is watching this organization transform the lives of women,” Benken says. “I have seen women expand their businesses, create new businesses. I’ve seen people who have side hustles retire from their corporate careers and actually launch their side hustle until they’re a full-time hustle.” Benken notes “it’s just been hard” and that she is excited to continue to see her organization grow. “It’s been a lot of work,” Benken says. “I think of this as my legacy and as my passion. The hardest part had been really just balancing everything with my life and my family. I would work on this every hour if I could, but life doesn’t allow that.”

Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. The festival is Saturday, November 6, and Sunday, November 7, at the shopping center, 15205 N. Kierland Boulevard. Hours of operation have not been determined. The event is a product of the collaboration between Kierland Commons, the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, the Kierland Master Association and the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance. Known to have attracted over 15,000 visitors, this year’s attendees can expect to see performances and setups covering the entertainment gamut, according to SAACA
Executive Director Kate Marquez. “The name kind of describes it all,” she says. “You can be shopping in Anthropologie and in the corner you see a pop-up painter, or you’re getting something to eat at Shake Shack and see a Chinese line dance performance, or you’re walking down the sidewalk at Kierland Commons and see an eight-foot chalk art mural in front of you and violinists on the corners,” Marquez says. “That type of experience you would have when you go somewhere like San Francisco or New York and you’re bombarded with painters on the street and musicians as you

walk by that make you participate and experience art in creative ways.” Visitors can also peruse the festival’s artisan market on Main Street, showcasing up to 40 artists and vendors selling a variety of handcrafted goods. Products for sale include candles, artisan foods, sculptures and paintings For Marquez, the most rewarding part is the capacity to highlight local artists while strengthening the bonds between people, “place and purpose” through “collaborative, arts-driven experiences.” “To me, that is what fills me up,” Marquez says. “And we get the opportunities to present that to the community in really dynamic ways so we can break down those participation barriers that exist in the art

world. Having that opportunity to reshape people’s minds around arts and culture really allows for more dialogue in really connecting and meaningful ways.” SAACA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and advancement of the arts, champions Marquez’s sentiments. The nonprofit seeks to address the needs of artists by creating programming spotlighting local creatives while simultaneously extending opportunities to sell and profit from their work. “We are a local nonprofit arts organization who primarily focuses most of our diverse programming in working directly with local artists of all genres, diversities and mediums,” Marquez says, citing filmmakers, digital designers, architects, musicians, visual artists, photographers and chefs, among others. SAACA has created over 300,000 arts-driven experiences, from innovative community festivals and cultural celebrations to creative sector development, and accessible arts enrichment programs. Marquez, who has been with SAACA for 15 years, attributes her motivation to join the movement to the organization’s tangible results seen throughout the local community. “The inspiration really was to get to work with a kind of organization that I can see the impact locally, and that’s tough to do sometimes, whether it’s for-profit or nonprofit,” the executive director says. “We actually get to interact with so many diverse cross sections of the community, from working with engineers and creative robotics teams to papier mache artists. It changes your view of humanity and kind of the piece where we see how the arts are so integral into everything we do, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep.” On the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kierland POP festival will operate this year in a “modified structure” to accommodate safety guidelines, according to Marquez. All events and experiences will take place in an outdoor setting while promoting social distancing, local ordinance face mask restrictions and heightened sanitization for all shared spaces, she continues. “We’ve definitely prioritized supporting individual artists in giving them opportunities that are safe and mostly a way for them to present and sell their work within the community,” she says. Although a “solid list” detailing the 2021 festival performers has not yet been finalized, it is slated to be released in early October, Marquez adds that the public “can rely on the fact that there is going to be the same levels of action.” Once announced, the list will be available at kierlandpop.com.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski ottingham, England, native Dr. Sukhi Ghuman spent time in dark pubs before moving to the United States. When he arrived here, he missed it so much he created one for him and his friends. “We simply missed British pubs,” Ghuman says with a laugh. “We go to the Shakespeare Pub in San Diego, but we thought we needed something like that here in Arizona. We wanted to get our European drink and food fix.” Ghuman and three partners opened the Union Jack British Pub in early September. So far, he says, the response has been “overwhelming.” “There has always been a good
relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom,” Ghuman says. “In Nottingham, there’s an American diner (Bernie’s American Diner) where they drink Budweiser and eat American food. Here, they like the British culture. The two cultures complement each other.” Located in the former location of the Skeptical Chymist, Ghuman and his three partners purchased the building and subjected it to a massive renovation. “We spent close to $500,000 on the whole project, from start to finish,” he says. “We completely gutted it inside and out. It’s beautiful. It has that English feel to it, but an airier version. “We have British food and sport.

It’s very much a British pub, with a slightly different feel to it.” Union Jack British Pub is all-things British, from the larger-than-life Beatles photograph to the U.K. cityscapes silhouettes. Sun shines in through the large windows in front near a red telephone booth. A side room, The Clubhouse, boasts a pool table, televisions with Premier League matches, and football shirts. The British bar snacks and appetizers are standards — jumbo sausage roll, corned beef slice, creamy vegetable lattice slice, British steak bake, Cornish pasty, Scotch egg and vegetable samosas ($6.99 and $9.95). Served noon to 10 p.m., the British main meals feature fish and chips, bangers and mash, large Cornish pasty, steak and kidney pie, steak and ale pie, chicken and mushroom pie and Shepherd’s pie ($14.50 and $15.25). Yep, the Shepherd’s pie has lamb. It continues with the Union Jack Sunday roast, chicken tikka masala and chicken curry ($16.95 and $18.95). Burgers include the Belfast cheese burger, Edinburgh avocado burger, Cardiff bacon burger and London bleu cheese burger ($14.50). “We have a lot of decent dishes here,” he says. “We have shepherd’s pie, mushy peas, bangers and mash. There are some Indian curries in there. Indian curries are the No. 1 dish in England.” Guinness has supported the pub “very aggressively,” Ghuman says. The Union Jack British Pub is one of a few Guinness Open Gate establishments in North America. That means Guinness sponsored two of the doors — which resemble the Guinness brewery gates — that head out to the patio. “It’s quite an interesting venue,” he says. “We are going to open several more of these.” They have ambitious goals for the Union Jack British Pub, with plans to open restaurants in Tucson, Mesa and Chandler. The plan is to

Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread

oughnuts with our coffee were always a treat in my family, because we didn’t buy them very often. When you’re Italian, the perfect paring with your espresso is a biscotti. But oh, those doughnuts! My real weakness, though, was an apple fritter. Those rugged, rustic clumps of dough, smooshed together with apple bits, laced with an ooey gooey glaze, were just too irresistible.
Now, to make matters worse for my waistline, what sits before me is a bread pan bubbling over with what pretty much looks like an apple fritter on steroids. This is going to be really good — or really bad, depending on how much willpower I have. I found this recipe for apple fritter pull-apart bread that is made with delicious and delicate a sweet yeast dough and sugary, buttery diced apples that are caramelized. The dough is rolled
out, topped with the diced apples and then sliced in squares, stacked in groups of four, and just stuffed into the pan. This recipe is just downright fun. The pan went into the oven, and an hour later, sitting before me were apple-laced slabs of heaven ready to be pulled apart and devoured! You can make this with the homemade dough recipe below or you can make it with refrigerated croissant dough. Just promise me you’ll make it!
FOOD & WINE
What's Cooking
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread Ingredients • 3 containers refrigerated croissant dough, rolled out into one solid rectangle or homemade dough below For the dough • 3 cups flour • 1 package yeast • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 cup brown sugar • 1/4 cup water • 1 egg, beaten • 3/4 cup milk • 1/4 cup butter (I used Kerrygold Triple butter) For the filling • 6 large crisp apples, peeled and diced • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice • 1 cup brown sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 2 tablespoons butter • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 tablespoon cornstarch For the glaze • 1 cup powdered sugar • 3 to 4 teaspoons milk, half and half, or water
Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9-by-5-inch bread pan. In a skillet, cook apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla, butter, cinnamon and cornstarch until mixture is thickened. Set aside to cool. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles; remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted; set aside. Put flour, yeast, brown sugar and salt in a bowl, mix well. Add the water, egg and milk/butter mixture. Mix until dough forms into a ball,
kneading for about 5 minutes. On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle. Evenly spread apple mixture over dough. Cut dough into even 3-inch squares. Stack four squares onto each other with spatula. Stack them side by side in pan until piles are used up. Bake 50 minutes. If top gets too brown, place foil over top and continue to bake. In a bowl, mix together powdered sugar and milk, cream or water until smooth. Remove bread from oven and pour on glaze. Pull apart and enjoy!

Fall in a
GLASS Awesomely autumnal wines to sip By Alison Bailin Batz
F
all is an interesting time in the Valley. While the hottest days of the year are finally behind us, it isn’t quite cool enough for jackets just yet. That can make choosing the perfect wine tough — as many opt for more tropical and refreshing flavor profiles in the summer and then big, bold flavor profiles in the winter. But fear not! We have you covered with some amazing bottles for fall in Arizona. Neither too light nor too bold, if Goldilocks was of age, she would call them “just right.” Chateau Magnol AOC Haut-Médoc, Cru Bourgeois 2016 This blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon — from a vineyard whose winemaking history dates back to 1842 — offers multilayered complexity with black cherry fruit, mint and spice notes, as well as vanilla and tobacco on the finish. Decant and pair with your end of season grilling. $29.99 Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs 2016 The fruit for this wine was hand-selected and hand-harvested from Graham Beck’s epic Chardonnay clonal block on its awardwinning Robertson Estate. That means this will be beyond elegant and impressive and a sparkling wine with a little more meat on its bones versus the light, bright options you drank all summer. $30 Baileyana Firepeak Pinot Noir, Edna Valley 2018 The Edna Valley is the coolest growing region in all of California, but the Firepeak
vineyard blocks are defined by extinct volcanoes found in the area, creating unique soils. This wine is much like the volcanos that came before it, in that it erupts, albeit with ripe cherry, blackberry, cinnamon and tobacco. $30 Rombauer Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay Among the most awarded and beloved white wines in the nation, the bright fruitforward palate of this chardonnay is inviting, and the rich, creamy palate works well with so many beloved foods as we turn to fall. It is a celebration of ripe yellow peach, Meyer lemon, clove and vanilla in every sip. $38 J Vineyards & Winery Cuvée 20 Brut NV This sparkler opens with nuanced aromas of toasted almond, setting the stage for a burst of fall in every sip, including notes of Braeburn apple, dried cranberry and even a little ginger snap, followed by a hint of tart lemon meringue to remind you it isn’t fall just yet. $38 Talbott Vineyards 2017 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay Despite its name, don’t sleep on this exceptional tropical take on chardonnay, as it offers Pink Lady apple, Bosc pear, pineapple and even a hint of brioche. There is a zesty acid versus full creaminess one usually expects in a California chardonnay. $42 La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi This high-quality, expressive vintage
32 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / OCTOBER 2021
offers delicate notes of white flowers, flint, citrus and stone fruits, with almonds and walnuts on the palate, that is meant to be shared with everyone from friends and family to colleagues. $42 Louis M. Martini Winery 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice in this versatile little vixen. It is also surprisingly balanced, perfect for warm or cool nights. $45 The Hunt Red Blend, Sonoma County 2018 A stunner for evenings when the weather dips below 90 degrees, this is a Bordeaux-style blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc aged in French and American oak barrels. The result is rich character without being too over the top. $45
FOOD & WINE
Yangarra Estate Vineyards Ovitelli Grenache 2019 The certified organic and biodynamic vineyard is not messing around with this perfumed and elegant grenache from the sands at Yangarra. The vibrant fruit of those dry-grown 1946 bush vines results in fall (or almost fall) in a glass. $60 Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 This deep ruby-colored cabernet hints to the summer’s days past with aromatics of dark fruits such as blackberry and Bing cherry. It also welcomes the fall days ahead with nuisances of wood and baking spice. $60 Darioush 2018 Merlot Aromatically complex with licorice, violets, dusty cocoa and fine leather, before providing dense black cherry and currant on the palate, this award winner is powerful yet polished. The closing notes of savory
herbs, forest and delicate bergamot notes are a pleasant surprise as well. $68 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet and Shiraz 2016 Aromatic with a dizzyingly delicious blend of red currants, cedar, cranberry and dark chocolate, each vintage of this red blend is extra special in that it is released to honor an individual who has made a significant contribution to the culture and traditions of the Yalumba region. $69.99 Masciarelli Villa Gemma Montepulciano 2015 An intensely beautiful Italian wine of character and complexity, expect notes of red fruit, cherry, currant, violet and hints of tobacco here. The bold tannins and great acidity also make this for pairing with most fall foods. $90 Bread & Butter Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon Grown and produced in the celebrated

micro-AVA of Napa Valley, this limitededition head-turner packs a punch of lush fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry with hints of tobacco, licorice and chocolate. $100 Faust 2018 The Pact Make a pact with friends to enjoy this together on a special evening this month. It opens with fresh aromas of black cherries and black currants, then magically blue fruits with graphite, tobacco, star anise round out the finish. $125 Gundlach Bundschu 2016 Vintage Reserve Fresh blackberry and black currant get the party started in this bottle, before nutmeg and cinnamon bark join the festivities. The earth, clove-infused finish is what dreams are made of, at least a wine lover’s dreams. $125

ADVICE fromWeiss OCTOBER 2021 Business Horoscopes By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA
ARIES 3/21-4/20 October ’s patterns may seem more tranquil in comparison to last month’s happenings. The first half of the month (October 1 to October 19) may bring mishaps in your day-to-day plans. The Libra sun calls for a compromise in your business affairs. You will be more social and productive, thanks to the full moon on October 20. That means you have more Halloween treats and fewer tricks. Personal power days: October 18, October 19 and October 20 TAURUS 4/21-5/20 October’s sun emphasizes health and work. Utilize the new moon on October 6 to improve your career. Set a timeline for this but consider the October 20 full moon. Start exercising. Working with others becomes harmonious. Personal power days: October 21 and October 22 GEMINI 5/21-6/21 This Halloween month offers more treats than tricks. Five retrograde planets may hold you back until later in the month. Use this off time to catch up, hone your communication skills or, for some, have a quick getaway. Hold off signing long-term agreements or making major purchases between October 1 and October 19. You’ll socialize the second half of the month. Personal power days: October 23, October 24 and October 25 CANCER 6/22-7/22 Early October’s energies center around family and home. Everything that makes you feel secure is in a state of flux, that includes the costs of supplies, food, construction, rent and insurance. For the next six months, make adjustments. Think about learning a new skill the week of October 28. The latter part of October is favorable. Remember, home is where the heart is.
Personal power days: October 26 and October 27
Personal power days: October 8 and October 9
LEO 7/23-8/22 Don’t allow unfinished issues interfere with your enjoyment. October ’s unpredictability can set you in a new direction before the year ends. Mars, the planet of action, has you running errands during this two-week transit (the new moon on October 6 until the full moon on October 20). Pay attention to hard news. Changes are challenging and push you forward. Personal power days: October 1, October 2, October 28, October 29 and October 30
SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 You’ll feel refreshed once you start networking again. Circle October 6. Around October 20, you’ll wonder when you will have freedom of choice. When Pluto goes direct on October 7, it will introduce you to a whole new world. Plan accordingly and have faith in yourself. Personal power days: October 10 and October 11
VIRGO 8/23-9/22 You can accomplish more by yourself. The five planets that reside in a backward pattern may bring discord in work or health issues. Finances will control October 6 to October 20. Do some rearranging or leave projects. The COVID-19 dance continues to affect prices. Expect new advances in technologies. Personal power days: October 3, October 4 and October 5 LIBRA 9/23-10/23 Challenges will take you by surprise this month. You don’t need to please others. Sun remains in your sign until October 22, and you’ll make an impression on others. October 18 and October 19 are great days to try something new. Put an emphasis on your financials. Personal power days: October 6 and October 7 SCORPIO 10/24-11/21 Address your financial and personal matters by the end of October. Serious conflicts are unclear and confusing. Hold off making any rash or untimely decisions. You’ll come up with a better solution or a new plan after the full moon on October 20. You can work things out by October 23 or October 24.
CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 Overhaul your work and personal lives. Crises are creeping into your work world. Rid yourself of baggage. By midmonth (October 10 to October 31), you’ll be encouraged to attend social events. They empower you to enjoy recreational activities. Personal power days: October 12 and October 13 AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 The news centers around world politics and a threatening crisis. Your life will be altered, thanks to this high global energy. October will shake up all of us. Don’t make any rash moves but expect a change of job or partnership. Fun and romance awaits. Personal power days: October 14 and October 15 PISCES 2/19-3/20 Get out of your comfort zone. Midmonth you’ll have a reality check about your job. Don’t overlook an opportunity to switch jobs or learn a new skill. Communication snafus require you to find to keep abreast of trends. The full moon on October 20 brings hidden issues to light. Good news: October ends favorably. Personal power days: October 16 and October 17 For inquires or readings by email or on CD, contact Weiss at weissastro@aol.com
