From the Publisher…
It’s hard to believe we are already into the
second month of 2011, and that special day
to honor your loved ones is right around the
corner. Valentine’s Day comes only once a
year, so let’s make this one a day to remember. Valentine's Day is for girlfriends and
boyfriends, spouses, partners, friends, families, first dates, 50th anniversaries and just
about anyone who appreciates love and
romance. Here in the Valley there are quite
a variety of events and activities celebrating
Valentine's Day. While there are many
things that you can do and places you can go on and around Valentine's
Day, there are some specially designed for love and romance.
Some of the events that you may want to consider are the
Glendale Chocolate Affaire, Phoenix Zoo Jungle Love Valentine’s
Date Night, Desert Botanical Garden’s Romance in the Garden,
Chicago at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, Ballet Arizona’s
presentation of Don Quixote, The Pleasure Feast at the Arizona
Renaissance Festival, Arizona Broadway Theatre’s presentation of
My Fair Lady or perhaps just a nice, quiet dinner out on the town.
Be sure to make those reservation early, as the good ones fill up
quickly. If a quiet dinner at home is your style, no need to
cook...swing by Vincent’s Market Bistro and pick up dinner to go.
Until next month, Susan

Town & Country Lab Offers CostSaving Patient’s Choice Program
Deal Lovers Now Have Options for Affordable Testing
For the millions of people without health insurance or without enough
insurance, the rising costs of preventative and routine tests can be daunting. Sometimes it is enough of a deterrent to skip necessary screenings.
Now a local laboratory has created a Patient’s Choice program at their
four Valley labs – including a lab in the Town & Country center. The labs
give those in need of tests as much as a 75 percent savings on costs at
other facilities.
Michael Piccirillo and Labnet, Inc. have provided services to physicians and outpatient laboratories for more than 30 years. Now, discouraged by rising costs and how little insurance relief trickles down to the
consumer, Piccirillo and Labnet also provide testing services directly to
the patient – at a fraction of the price.
“Patients have
always had the right
to go anywhere for a
lab testing and don’t
even need a doctor’s
referral. But the average pe r so n o f t e n
doesn’t know this.
Large laboratories
can ch a rg e t h r e e
times as much on
common tests like
thyroid profiles, HIV testing, estrogen and testosterone levels and lipid
screenings. It’s a double whammy of overhead and the insurance system,”
says Piccirillo.
“People ask me how Labnet can do these tests for such a low cost, and
I always ask why do the other labs have to charge so much?” he says.
“It’s a system that ultimately hurts the patients if they can’t afford these
tests. It’s time people stop getting taken advantage of.”
Before this, all discounts and benefits went directly to physicians and
insurance companies without being passed on to the consumer. Labnet
gives the savings to the consumer directly with Patient’s Choice, and
allows the public complete access to any test, any time at a much lower
cost.
SCP Chiropractic at 4859 N. 20th Street in the Town & Country Center
provides the testing services for Labnet. The clinic is open from 9:00 a.m.
to 11:00 a.m. every day. Patients do not need a doctor’s referral to have
the tests done and can get the results typically in a few minutes.
In addition to its “any test, any time” policy, Labnet can also provide
on-site health screening’s with over 35 tests available (at selected sites),
and results within minutes at the same affordable rates.
Says Piccirillo, “We’re not cutting the doctor out of the process.
We’re just saving the patient money on the initial screening. They still
need to take it to a doctor for medical interpretation or if anything
appears abnormal.”

chorizo, ham, bacon, or pollo for just $5, or their renowned carne asada
for $5.25. These flavorful ingredients are folded into a warm tortilla and
served with red or green salsas that are a perfect compliment.

serving authentic Mexican
food from a small cart in
Phoenix. Today the “kids” of
the family are all grown up
and with the help and guidance of their mother, continue to offer truly authentic,
great tasting food.

The 4 Big Trends for 2011
By Tina Mellino, Interior and Event Designer Allied Member, ASID
Fads. They are parts of life that come and go. Trends
on the other hand seem to endure and can be seen
repeating themselves especially when it comes to
design history. From time to time, we’ve all fallen victim to fashion and design fads especially here in
Arizona, i.e. the kokopeli or howling coyote not to mention, desert pastels!
As defined by House Beautiful magazine, here are four
key trends that have historical origins and continue to evolve into 2011.
New Victorians:
Was: influenced by Jules Verne’s, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea aka
Steampunk manifesto. Considered smoky, dark and heavily layered. 2011:
Less Goth, softer with the use of more color without losing its Victorian edge.
The Accessorator:
Looking back to design icons, and great lady decorators like, Sister
Parish. The use of colorful design mixes without chintz. Cheerful patterns, color, the classic double gourd lamp. Looking ahead to 2011, Lilly
Pulitzer the 1960s legend inspires a new home collection. For more information, visit www.Theaccessorator.com.
Glam:
Glam in 2010 was about
more and more, sexy and
theatrical, turned up color
volume and piled on bling!
Glam 2011, will look more
natural.
The Ruralists:
18th century influences, purity and sophistication. Axel Vervoordt,
father of Belgian design influences American country and it’s never the
same. A global country feel is born. Keywords: handmade and locavore.
2011 is all about outdoor rooms and homesteading in high style.

Local Pilates Studio Offers Free
Chance To Try Out Equipment
Local north central Phoenix Pilates Studio, Maximum Pilates, is offering neighbors an opportunity to come in and try out the equipment for 30
minutes with a master instructor during the weeks of February 14th and
February 28th. Maximum Pilates, located at 6522 N. 16th Street, is a
three-year-old Pilates studio
owned by Phoenix resident,
Heather Lewis, MFA.
“Pilates, especially the equipment with the intricate number of
springs and straps, can seem intimidating – but nothing could be further from the truth,” explains
Lewis. “With proper training and
instruction, the equipment is really
very simple, and everyone from teenagers training for sports to older adults
looking to relieve back pain to those wanting to increase their overall physical well-being can benefit from Pilates.”
Lewis has been practicing and teaching Pilates for more than 10 years.
She became interested in Pilates as a way to work through old injuries collected from a life-long dance career. Not only was Pilates instrumental in the
healing process, but it changed her life, and she continues to share this with
others suffering from old injuries. While getting her Masters of Fine Art in
Dance from ASU, she received a grant to go to New York and train at the original Joseph Pilates Studio.
Space is limited; call (602) 3019691 to set up a free 30-minute

Los Sombreros Stirs Up Love with
Their Damiana Margarita
Golfers Gear Up for the Mark Grace
Celebrity Invitational
On Valentine’s Day, those in love always have the usual expressions of
affection that they can rely on for a successful evening. Without much
thought, you can rely on chocolates, flowers and jewelry as a satisfying
gift for your significant other. This Valentine’s Day, do something different with Los Sombreros’ $29.95 three-course menu. The unique threecourse menu includes appetizer, entrée and dessert, as well as an aphrodisiac cocktail.
At Los Sombreros, love isn’t just in the air; it’s in a glass. Los

up your love life. The margarita is made with tequila, sweet and sour, and
the most significant ingredient, damiana liqueur.

plant and possesses a light, sweet flavor. The plant has been heralded
to have magical qualities as a natural aphrodisiac. The Mayans have
used the plant for ages in Central America in teas and folklore claims
that it was used in the very first margarita ever created. In parts of
Mexico, damiana liqueur has become a traditional wedding gift to
encourage fertility.
Los Sombreros’ Damiana Margarita is a traditional cocktail offering
that will amplify amorous desires during the most romantic time of the
year and is a great alternative to customary Valentine’s Day gestures, as
part of their three-course Valentine’s Day menu. Los Sombreros Café &

23rd Annual Great Arizona Beer Festival Presented by Azcentral.com to
Feature Arizona’s Largest Festival Selection of Craft Beers
Attracting 7,000 to 10,000 beer connoisseurs each year from across the Valley and
beyond, the 23rd annual Great Arizona Beer
Festival takes place March 5th at Tempe Beach
Park from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Featuring
over 200 craft, specialty and micro-brewed
beers available for sampling, the Great Arizona
Beer Festival is the largest beer festival in the
Southwest, both in terms of number of brewers
attending and selection of craft beers on tap.
Now in its 23rd year, the festival also holds the
distinction of being the longest-running beer
festival in Arizona, and includes a nationally
sanctioned beer competition.
The Great Arizona Beer Festival is also the
only major beer festival in Arizona that is entirely a charitable event. All of the funds raised go
to support the work of Sun Sounds of Arizona,
which provides blind and other print-impaired
listeners throughout the state access to newspapers, magazines and best-selling books by broadcasting these materials daily via radio, phone and
internet, with the help of 500 volunteer readers.
This is the primary fundraising event for Sun
Sounds and is made possible through the donations of participating brewers, sponsors and the
work of a network of volunteers.
Presented by azcentral.com, the festival is
dedicated to the enjoyment of fine craft brews.
The festival also features live music, games, a
variety of food and other vendors and entertainment for attendees age 21 and over. This year’s
10
musical entertainment showcases local favorites
The Crown Kings.
Casino Arizona is the Safe Ride Home
Sponsor of the festival, ensuring opportunities
for everyone to make it home safely, whether by
taxi, designated driver or the nearby Valley
METRO Light Rail. KDKB 93.3 FM is the official FM Radio Sponsor, DRAFT magazine is the
official beer magazine. Alphagraphics is the
official printer. GoMobile is the official mobile
web provider, and accommodations are provided
by Fiesta Resort.
This year’s event will include several exciting new components, such as: Three pre-festival
events open to the public, including two rounds
of beer judging in the annual “Best of the West”
craft beer competition (February 18th and
February 25th), in which attendees may observe
the judging process, speak with judges and
brewers, and sample competing brews — in
addition to the annual Pub Crawl event
(February 26th); Onsite electronic mapping and
information features using Microsoft tags; A
variety of contests and promotions leading up to
the event via fan pages on social media sites
Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
“Every year we look for new ways to keep
making the festival better and more exciting, and

A Desert Illuminated, Photography by John
Schaefer, an exhibition of 30 photographs of cactus
flowers of the Southwest, will be displayed in the
Ottosen Gallery from February 25th through May
27th. The exhibit is free for members and is included
with paid Desert Botanical Garden admission.
These stunning macro photographs are wrapped in
the visual and contextual embrace of a Renaissanceera illuminated manuscript that connects the human
passion for science and art. By placing a sheet of black
construction paper behind the cactus, he is able to isolate the subject, intensifying the composition of the
richly hued and delicate flower.
Dr. Schaefer, the President Emeritus of University of Arizona, is a conservationist and avid bird
watcher who founded the Nature Conservancy in
Arizona. He is a talented photographer, who with Ansel
Adams founded the Center for Creative Photography in
Tucson. He is the author of three popular books on photographic techniques, and his photographs have been featured in Arizona Highways, among other publications.
The photographs in the exhibition are for sale, and the
DBG will receive 15% of each sale while the show is
installed. Also, additional photos are available for sale in
the Garden Shop, as well as his book, A Desert
Illuminated.
A “Phoenix Point of Pride,” the Desert Botanical
Garden is one of only a few botanical gardens accredited
by the American Association of Museums. It is a privately funded, non-profit organization and
depends on revenues from admissions and gift shop sales, as well as contributions from individuals and businesses to fund its programs of environmental education, plant conservation and research.
The exhibit is free with admission to the Garden.
Admission rates are $15 for adults, $13.50 for seniors,
$7.50 for students with ID, $5 for children 3-12 yearsof-age; Garden members and children two years and
younger are admitted free.
The Desert Botanical Garden is located inside
Papago Park at 1201 North Galvin Parkway in
Phoenix. The Garden is open every day, except
Thanksgiving, December 25th and July 4th, from
8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Ottosen Gallery is open from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. Call (480) 941-1225 or

Renowned Chef Vincent Guerithault Celebrates His 25th
Anniversary as a Valley-Based, Independent Restaurateur
In 1986, Terry Goddard was Phoenix’s mayor, Evan Mecham was the state’s governor, the
Phoenix Suns played in the Coliseum, Barry Goldwater retired from politics and Vincent
Guerithault opened a restaurant that forever changed Arizona’s culinary landscape.
And since the beginning, Chef Guerithault has remained the sole owner/operator of Vincent on
Camelback. His wife and three sons have been by his side helping to run and expand the business
since day one.
“Only a handful of independent restaurants in the Valley have managed to stay in business for
this long,” said Guerithault. “I am proud to be among them, and I am grateful to my family and
loyal customers for all their support throughout the years.”
On January 10th, 1986, Guerithault opened Vincent on Camelback at 3930 East Camelback
Road in Phoenix, where it remains today.
“There are only a handful of restaurants still here since then, and few have enjoyed the international success that has graced our operation,” Guerithault said. “We feel really blessed and know
that it has been a combination of talent and good fortune that has made us unique in Arizona.”
Over the years, Guerithault has expanded the restaurant’s reach with a successful catering operation; his perennially-popular outdoor Saturday Camelback Market, that runs from October to May
in the restaurant’s parking lot; Vincent Market Bistro, a small casual bistro adjacent to the restaurant; Vincent’s Van Go, a corporate delivery service catering to local businesses; and most recently his mobile pizza oven, Vincent’s Van Go Pizza Catering, the first of its kind in Arizona.
Family owned and operated by Guerithault, his wife and three sons, Vincent on Camelback is
one of few Valley mainstays. Vincent on Camelback has been considered one of Phoenix’s culinary attractions for 25 years. The restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Saturday. For
more information, call (602) 224-0225 or visit www.vincentsoncamelback.com.

Long-Time Valley Restaurateur, Chef Vincent Guerithault:
Keeping Up With The Times
Vincent Guerithault can read Arizona diners.
And when the award-winning chef saw foodies
veering toward reasonably priced, casual comfort food, he knew he could meet that need on a
unique level.
While not abandoning his classics, he’s
expanded his restaurant in a new direction
including a new, more casual menu and a bundle
of interior modifications including his latest
concept, The Bleu Room, his take on an intimate
French wine bar.
“Dining trends indicate that people want a
more relaxed dining experience,” said
Guerithault. We’ve heard that from our customers, too.”
As part of that effort, Chef Guerithault has
added less expensive, more familiar French
comfort food to the menu ranging in price from
$28 to $36. Nationally acclaimed for arguably
inventing French food married with a southwest
twist, his new menu will still feature many customer favorites such as his lobster
chimichangas, smoked salmon quesadillas and
duck tamales.
New menu items include starters like seafood
quenelles with lobster sauce $14; foie gras with
roasted pears and a balsamic reduction $18; and
gratin of mussels $12. New entrée selections
will include blanquette de veau with herb rice
and spring vegetables $29; roasted gigot d’agneau with white beans $28; and lemon sole
“paella style” $28. New desserts include apple
tart tatin with vanilla ice cream; baba au rhum;
vacherin with lavender ice cream; and cream of
mango floating island for $9 each.
But the most impressive change may be Chef
Guerithault’s new Bleu Room that invites a deep
breath and a sip of wine. It’s located just inside
the restaurant and is similar to a French wine bar
offering a variety of wines and cocktails, fruit
and cheese plates, light hors d’oeuvres and small
The Provence
Room
Biltmore Lifestyles

and Crab Cake) and

meals. It also features flat screen televisions that
air classic black and white movies, as well as
food presentations, cooking techniques and on
special occasions, sporting events.
“We wanted to create a casual, neighborhood
space where people could come to as a destination or before or after a movie, game or other
event,” said Guerithault. “And the menu is
unlike anything we’ve ever offered.”
Some featured menu items include an assortment of three sliders (choose from shrimp,
salmon, lamb, crab, beef or duck); assortment of
three salads (choose from roasted cauliflower,
lentils, ratatouille, roasted corn with goat cheese
or asparagus); a trio of “croque” sandwiches
(ham and brie, tomato, basil, mozzarella and
pear, arugula and blue cheese); cheese gougeres,
and housemade potato chips (chipotle, cumin,
parmesan or plain). The Bleu Room will also
feature a choice of Vincent’s famous desserts
and a selection of special boutique wines. Most
menu items will be between $3 and $8.50. The
Bleu Room will be open
weekdays beginning at
3:00 p.m. and Saturdays at
5:00 p.m.
Added to Vincent on
Camelback’s private dining room selection is his
new Provence Room and
if you’ve ever been to
Provence, you’ll find the
room familiar – with fabrics imported from Nice
and touches that are reminiscent of the Cote d’Azur.
The colorful room accommodates parties of 15 to 20
and, like the restaurant’s
other
private
dining
rooms, it offers custom
events and menus in a
unique decor.
In January of 1986, Vincent Guerithault
opened Vincent on Camelback, which remains at
its original location. Over the years, Guerithault
has expanded the restaurant’s reach with a successful catering operation; his perennially-popular outdoor Saturday Camelback Market, that
runs from October to May in the restaurant’s
parking lot; Vincent Market Bistro, a small casual bistro adjacent to the restaurant; Vincent’s Van
Go, a corporate delivery service catering to local
businesses; and most recently his mobile pizza
oven, Vincent’s Van Go Pizza Catering, the first
of its kind in Arizona.
Vincent Guerithault on Camelback has been
considered one of Phoenix’s culinary attractions
for 25 years. Vincent’s on Camelback is located
at 3930 East Camelback Road and is open for
dinner Monday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m.
to 10:00 p.m. Vincent Market Bistro is open
Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m. and Sunday for brunch from 7:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. The Bleu Room opens at 3 p.m.
Monday through Friday for happy hour. For

Sky Harbor Simplifies
Parking Transportation Routes
By Deborah Ostreicher, Deputy Aviation Director,
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
No one could forget Michael Douglas’ portrayal of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street. And beginning
this month, you can forget about the Gecko at Sky
Harbor, because Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport is simplifying and streamlining its bus
routes.
Travelers no longer have to remember whether
they parked in the Gecko, Roadrunner, or
Jackrabbit parking lots, because the airport has renamed the routes to provide customers an easier travel experience.
On the east side of the airport, travelers can take the bus for East
Economy Uncovered Parking or the East Economy Garages. This
change means that one bus route is now dedicated to the entire uncovered parking area, and one will be dedicated to the garages. This transition creates an express route between the East Economy garages and
the terminals.
In the past, buses serving the economy garages also picked up at various locations throughout the parking lot. The East Economy garages are
the most convenient and offer the quickest access to Terminal 4, Sky
Harbor’s busiest terminal.
In addition, it is often easier to find a space in the Economy Garages
than the uncovered Economy Parking Lot. The cost is only $2 more per
day than the uncovered lot. The bus route for the West Economy Lot has
been changed from the Jackrabbit route to West Economy Lot.
Says Sky Harbor’s Assistant Aviation Director Carl Newman, “The
changes in the bus routes will result in enhanced customer service for
travelers and shorter bus rides at America’s Friendliest Airport.”
Additional information about Sky Harbor’s parking amenities is available
at skyharbor.com.

Smart Ways to Select and Save on Heating and Cooling
By Camille Sullivan, Realty Executives
When you look at expenses in the home, about
fifty percent of the annual utility bill goes to heating and cooling. So the number one appliance that
can save both energy and money is a high efficiency heat pump. A new high efficiency heat
pump unit provides almost instant savings.
Replacing an old 10 seer unit with a new 15 seer
unit can save approximately 35 percent in air conditioning costs for a summer. The new unit is also
more capable of removing moisture from the
house and making it more comfortable. Size does matter. Homeowners
need to make sure the new air conditioning unit is the right size for the
home. Studies have been done in Arizona that shows air conditioners are
typically oversized. If a house calls for a 4 ton unit, a 4.5 or 5 ton unit is
installed. To make sure you buy the right size heat pump, have a contractor perform load calculations. This software program measures everything in the house, such as glass, insulation, orientation, number of walls,
etc. Bigger is not better when it comes to air conditioning units.
Before a new heat pump is installed, make sure the contractor verifies
that the ducts are in good condition. Duct work is always leaky and sometimes as much as 30 percent of cool air escapes from the house. Ten percent leakage or less is ideal. Lastly, setting the thermostat up two or three
degrees when you leave for the day will save two or three percent for that
time period.

human body, discovering how a body works when it is healthy and how it
www.forwardmotionptaz.com
breaks down when it is not. Through its aesthetic and accessible displays,
Body Worlds invites contemplation, study and reflection of the power and
vulnerability of the human body by everyone.”
For this special presentation of Body Worlds, Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of the plastination process and creator the exhibitions, and his wife,
Dr. Angelina Whalley, conceptual planner and creative designer of the exhibitions, have created a holistic meditation on the brain that merges anatomy, neuroscience, and philosophy that resonates with everyone. “The brain is an incredible marvel of engineering. I wanted people to recognize what
is known about this amazing gem inside our heads and be awed by its possibilities and capacities,” said Dr. von Hagens.
“We wanted to present this most complex organ in a way that was accessible to the general public, and in the most elegant way,” said Dr. Whalley,
the physician who planned the Body Worlds exhibitions that have been seen so far by more than 32 million people worldwide.
Body Worlds & The Brain will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with special extended hours on weekends, holidays and special events.
Admission to Body Worlds includes general admission to Arizona Science Center and costs $25 for adults, $20 for children ages 3 through 18, $23
for college students with I.D., and seniors 62 and older. Member pricing is $13 for adults, $10 for children ages 3 through 18, and $13 for seniors 62
and older and students with I.D. Tickets are available now at www.azscience.org
Body Worlds is presented locally by The Arizona Republic and JP Morgan Chase through May, 30th,
2011. For more information on this featured exhibition and special events and programs, please call
(602) 716-2000 or visit www.azscience.org.
About Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds
Dr. Gunther von Hagens invented the Plastination technique in 1977, in an effort to improve the education of medical students. The organs and whole-body plastinates were derived from generous body
donors, individuals who designated that upon their death their bodies could be used for educational purposes in the Body Worlds exhibitions. More than 12,000 donors have bequeathed their bodies to Dr. von
Hagens’ Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, Germany.
The mission of Arizona Science Center is to inspire, educate and entertain people of all ages about science. The center, located at 600 East Washington Street in downtown Phoenix, features more than 300
hands-on exhibits, live demonstrations, the state-of-the-art Dorrance Planetarium and a five-story
IMAX® theater. For more information, please call (602) 716-2000 or visit www.azscience.org.
