ONE OF A KIND!
Dear Doreen, I read that I should ask an
agent questions, but the article didn’t go into specifics. How probing are the questions you get asked? Does it offend you?
—Tongue-tiedDear tongue-tied,
That’s a good question! I’m never offended by probing questions about my business practices. Here are a few I get: 1) Do you have an office? Do you have a private office within that office? 2) How many ways can I contact you? 3) Do you provide an in-depth written marketing plan—not just open
houses, an MlS listing or classified ad? 4) Do you market consistently and persistently to those capable of buying? 5) Do you use a diversified arsenal of marketing strategies using creative ideas? 6) How do you track marketing? 7) Do you have systems in place to provide me regular updates of pertinent activity?
These are just some of the questions you should ask. a highly involved and successful agent will be able to give you positive answers to these questions. ask me anything.
—Doreen

Unwitting Victim at the Lake
Fishing is a great form of relaxation and can be great family fun. The
pond at the Anthem Community Park provides fishing at its best with a well-stocked pond and a catch-and-release program.
I have always been a fan of catch and release and the use of barbless hooks to protect the fish, birds and turtles in the pond. Regrettably, many people are not playing by the rules and cause lethal harm to these creatures.
Case in point: This morning on a leisurely walk through the park with my wife and dogs, we came upon a turtle with a fishing lure in its mouth. The hook was barbed, so we were unable to remove it and had to take the turtle to
Daisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital.
Following X-rays, it appears there is more than one hook in its mouth. At the time of writing, the good people at the clinic are calling in a second veterinarian to assist in saving the turtle.
I know it is hard to monitor everyone who fishes at the park, but maybe it is time to rethink the whole idea of allowing fishing at the park. Regrettably, the few ruin it for the masses.

Barbed hooks at Anthem’s lake caused problems for this turtle.
OUT& IN | THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 | OUT& IN 8
UPDATEThe turtle, identified
as a red-eared slider, was examined by Dr. Kirstin Young at Daisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital who said an X-ray of the victim revealed two surprises:
• The turtle had swallowed not one but two fish hooks.
• And, the turtle was full of eggs.
The red-eared slider, named for its distinctive red markings on its head and its tendency to slip quickly into the water, has been moved to Dove Valley Animal Hospital. She is now under the care of Dr. Mike Kiedrowski, a
consulting veterinarian for the National Turtle and Tortoise Association. “Dr. Kiedrowski has a lot of experience with surgery in these guys,” Dr. Young told In&Out.
Follow AnthemNews.com for updates on the turtle.
The two fish hooks are clearly visible. Several eggs can also be discerned on the X-ray.

Funny MoneyComedian Jef Rawls donates his talent to create a riotous (and family-friendly) fundraiser for Starlight.
By Nadine [email protected]
Improv is a special kind of funny we all wish we could command. Jef Rawls is so adept at it he’s got
his own improv club in Scottsdale where he’s been performing live every weekend for the past 14 years. He’s really funny. Jef hosted the Emmy award-winning kids TV show “What’s Up?” and has acted in commercials, films, and on stage. And somehow, Starlight Community Theater managed to convince him to come to Anthem to host two improv shows Saturday, May 11.
The shows, to be co-hosted with Starlight’s Kimberly Woods, will be interactive, a la “Whose Line is it Anyway?” (the pee-your-pants comedy series hosted by Drew Carey). Two teams of improv players—one adult, the other teens—have been trained for this special event.
We caught up with Rawls to get some serious answers:
How did you get so funny? Jef Rawls Years of practice!
Actually, some people say I’ve always been a little silly—but I believe it’s because I look for the funny in everyday living. I think we need to have fun in life, and when you can
see the fun in every situation, it lends its hand to “being funny.” Really, I’m just exaggerating the truth without hesitation.
Why Jester’Z? JR Our purpose at Jester’Z is: “To
improve the quality of life.” Whether through [causing] laughter, [providing] creativity outlets for performers and students, or teaching skills that make life better to handle. Jester’Z makes life happy.

AN Do you work with kids often?JR Regularly. We are more interested
in developing productive adults than making kids funny. What if teenagers listened better, realized that they are part of a team (family, school, etc.) and felt supported in their ideas? Yeah, we’re developing adults.
What do you want to be when you grow up?

What value do theater and comedy bring to a community?
JR Theater brings the community to a common place to experience an event collectively. Laughter is infectious. A community laughing? Our politicians could use a lesson in laughter.
What can local groups do that is out of reach for a comic or theater group that caters to a larger audience?
JR Make themselves available and accessible to the audience. When an audience member can approach an entertainer, they feel special. I’m sure you remember every famous person you’ve ever met and what they’ve said. Local celebrities/actors/comics can bring that same memory for an audience member who enjoyed their performance.
What is the cure for stage fright? Understanding what it is: Our body preparing itself to accomplish something more than it is used to. When we recognize that our body wants to do its best and that our mind is talking us out of it, then we seek to embrace the

nerves as a good thing. It’s our inner saboteur that wants us to quit because our body is doing something different (like sweating or shaking) so it tells us this must be bad or you’re not good at this. Don’t listen to your brain.What are the three most important ingredients to successful comedy?
What is the truth of the situation? Set up that situation within a reality the audience understands and then twist or exaggerate it. An audience that is being entertained wants three things: action, emotion and details. If you can exaggerate the reality of any one of these within a skit and have integrity of the character and situation, the audience will enjoy it.
Is family-friendly comedy less funny? Not at all. In fact, it’s usually funnier
because you actually need to be talented and creative with your comedy rather than going for a cheap laugh.
Why does so much comedy involve cursing and, for lack of better term, ‘adult’ themes?
As I said, you want to exaggerate reality. Most comics take that to the “shock and awe” level, outside of societal norms. Audiences can laugh for a variety of reasons and discomfort is one of them (“I’d never say that” is one of those exaggerations that may shock someone, but since everyone else is laughing, it must be funny.)
Is there anything else I should have asked you?
Improv is not just for the stage—it’s life skills for better relationships, stronger work ethics and personal development at its purist. io

New Principal Replaces Wong at Gavilan Peak By Karen [email protected]
After 10 years, Dr. Mai-Lon Wong announced her departure from the
Deer Valley Unified School District to pursue other opportunities, and Chad Segersten, director of instructional technology at Cartwright School in Phoenix, will take over.
Segersten was recommended at DVUSD’s April board meeting. Segersten, who also served as assistant principal at Cartwright, is looking forward to his new role beginning this fall. His vision includes, “continual excellence for students and staff... [and]
looking for the next steps to continued growth into the 21st century.”
DVUSD spokesperson Ashley Morris said Segersten was selected by a team of district staff and administrators, principals, teachers, classified staff and parents. “Mr. Segersten has a high interest in second language acquisition and is very supportive of the Mandarin program. He also brings great expertise in the area of technology and integrating technology into the classroom,” Morris said. io

Fortifying the CastleBy Nadine [email protected]
For some seven years, parents have been pulling up to an unremarkable storefront in the
Anthem Commerce Park to deposit their precious little ones into the care of Rose Urness and her staff. Once inside, the kids’ world transforms, not in small part, due to the life-sized two-story play castle greeting them.
But by mid-summer, Creative Castle Preschool and Kindergarten will have a new, expanded and upgraded home. The school is purchasing a nearby one-acre property at 4130 W. Opportunity Way, which includes a 6,000-square-foot building.
Planned renovations incorporate an organic community garden, a tricycle path, climbing structures and, something Urness is particularly excited about, an outdoor music center including drums, and panels with bells, chimes and horns. Urness said the outdoor area is designed to
encourage “socialization, participation, imaginative play, and group play, while promoting fine motor skills, hand/eye coordination, and rhythm and movement,” and is an age-appropriate complement to classroom work.
Indoors will accommodate seven classrooms and a play space dedicated to a super-sized train table and, of course, the signature castle. Computer technology will be introduced to kindergarten classrooms where students will develop computer literacy with PowerPoint and other applications. A grand opening is scheduled for mid-summer. io

Jefferson Preparatory High School to open in the fall.By Nadine [email protected]
Adams Traditional Academy has enjoyed success as a K-8 charter
school, and now parent company Choice Academies has announced the opening of Jefferson Preparatory High School. JPHS will open adjacent to Adams with ninth grade in August, and eventually expand to accommodate students through 12th grade.
JPHS, according to its brochure, will employ the Singapore math and Excellence in Writing programs. Science will be primarily lab-based, and history will be based on primary-source documents, such as the U.S. Constitution.
The high school hopes to provide a classical education combined with a focus on 21st century career-readiness
skills such as entrepreneurship, organizational skills (à la Stephen Covey), even culinary skills.
“Our goal is to make them independent in all aspects of life,” said Lisa Fink, president of the board of directors of Choice Academies.
For ambitious students, college-level courses will be offered to eligible juniors and seniors who want to ease their college load. But the average student should not expect four hours of homework every night. “It’s important to have a rigorous program, but it’s important to still have time to be with the family or go out in the community or engage in church-type activities,” said Fink. To fit all the instruction in, the school day will be extended a bit, she said. io

We’ve seen them: that group of teens each with their nose pressed against their mobile
device. Why aren’t they interacting with the people right in front of them? Is all lost for humanity, or is this just the natural evolution of teen relationships?
They post their feelings on Facebook, share what they see on Instagram, Facetime homework sessions and text their thoughts. A Pew Internet and American Life study found typical teens send and receive texts about 1,500 times a month, with girls texting more than boys. Some up to 6,000 texts a month.
Julie Caldwell, an Anthem family and marriage therapist, said she thinks there is a loss of intimacy when people don’t communicate face-to-face. “There is some positivity in communicating this way, but if the primary way adolescents are interacting with their peers is through social media, those relationships are going to be difficult to build into a more meaningful and deeper friendship.” And, Caldwell said, online posts are very public, decreasing the intimacy a face-to-face friendship can nurture.
For Jessica Pollock, a senior at Boulder Creek High School, social networks like Facebook and Instagram

provide a way for her friends to stay connected to each other after graduation. But it lacks personal connection, she said. “I feel I get more when I can see my friends. Messaging them to check out a new video and see how they are doing on their trig final is a lot different than hanging out on a Friday night… I feel like social media gives me a chance to stay connected and find out what’s happening with my friends, but lacks a way for me to really know how they are doing,” she said.
According to a clinical report by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Pollock’s use of social media is beneficial because she uses it to connect with friends and family. Social media also helps middle and high school students

With Benefits, Risks “For adolescents, there’s a lot of bullying and it opens up the arena for negative interactions,” said Caldwell. And, because most families don’t require teens to check-in their devices at night, teens can be exposed to cyberbullying 24 hours a day.
Most children who are bullied through social media and texting are also bullied in person. Before technology put constant connectivity in our pockets, children could get away from bullying. Now it can reach them even when they’re alone.
All is Not Lost Larry Rosen, PhD, presented his research to the American Psychological Association’s 2011 convention, that shows children and teens are capable of showing “virtual empathy” in which they can express empathy to friends through texts and online messages. Even better, the “virtual empathy” can transfer into “real-world empathy.”
What it comes down to is balance. Connecting through social media can be beneficial to a point. Caldwell suggests parents need to model behavior they’d like to see in their kids, since adults also tend to be frequently engaged with social media. “Shut the electronics down, turn your phones off and have family dinners together,” she said. io
Preventing CyberbullyingCyberbullying, defined as bullying that occurs through electronic technology, affects 16 percent of high schoolers nationwide.• Know your child’s online activity.
Ask where they’re going, what they’re doing and who they’re doing it with.
• Ask for their passwords in case of emergency.
• Follow or friend them on social networking sites or ask another responsible adult to do so.
• Establish rules for technology use. Talk to them about how to be safe online. Tell them they are not permitted to post things that will hurt themselves or others. In most cases, once something is posted, it can’t ever truly be deleted.
• Understand school rules. Some schools now have cyberbullying policies. Ask your school if it has one.

Leanna Loveland allows 10-year-old Parker to Instagram, but under her close supervision.

Everybody InstagramsWhat you need to know to protect your kid.
By Amanda [email protected]
The popular photo sharing smartphone application has 100 million active users per month.
And, your child is likely using one of those groovy digital filters to document what they do, what they eat, who they’re with, and, of course, their funny face. In case you didn’t know, that’s Instagram’s point: to take photos and post to Instagram’s social network.
Leanna Loveland, an Anthem mom, said her 10-year-old-daughter has an Instagram account which mom monitors closely. “I decided to allow Parker to set up an Instagram because many of her peers and church friends were getting one. Some of the girls she follows on there she doesn’t get to see regularly, so she’s excited to be able to connect with them this way.”
Laying Down the LawLoveland sets the privacy controls,
gets ultimate approval of any follower requests to Parker’s account—she must know them personally—and allows Parker to use Instagram only from mom’s iPhone. Loveland also approves Parker’s photo posts first.
Boulder Creek student Haily Grimes said she uses Instagram as a way to kill time, and admits it isn’t very productive. “I mostly use it if I take a
good picture to upload or to look at the pictures on there,” she said.
While Instagram offers a visual way to share life, Grimes said some people upload inappropriate pictures. “You know, they’re flipping off the camera or something like that. And some people might start fights on there.”
The beauty-pageant trend, now popular, involves girls (and sometimes boys) uploading photos of themselves tagged “#beautypageant” in competition for “like” votes. Losers sometimes have an “X” placed over their photo.
“A couple of friends get together and do them. I’ve never done one,” said Grimes. “It really makes the other girls mad when they don’t win, and it always ends in a fight.”
“That can be really damaging to a girls’ self-esteem,” Loveland said. “I would take away Instagram if I saw [Parker] participating in that.”
One Anthem father’s concern is geotagging, or Instagram’s optional Photo Map feature that provides geographic coordinates of the photo’s location. “It’s scary to think how easy it is for the world to see where my child eats, sleeps and plays,” he said. io

CAUTIOUS CONNECTIONS “Kids are spending more and more time hanging with their friends virtually. Are you concerned your child’s virtual habits are interfering with normal social development?”
Jody NovakContract Manager, Anthem“I have not had the concern because my son is a social kid. It has entered my mind that he would get so wrapped up in his games that other things like going outside and throwing the ball with his buddies is trivial. Part of the fear is who is actually on the other end. I manage his time to make sure he does other things and is social in other ways. My concern would be that would be the only thing he knows.”
Christina McgrawMarriage and Family Therapist, Anthem“I am not concerned at this point. My children will sometimes play on Club Penguin. We set it up with restrictions, have ongoing discussions of basic Internet safety and limit the amount of time they are on the site. We tell them we want them playing with friends in person but that computer and video games can have a place in their lives as well.”
Tim BoykinTeacher, Anthem“My wife and I are both teachers and we have seen firsthand some compromising situations that students have gotten into involving virtual relationships. When our own children began to enter the elementary grades we were adamant that they would interact in person with their friends. In addition, we have personal beliefs they will socialize more effectively if they learn to engage people face-to-face.”
Greg ChurchillIndustrial Engineer, Anthem“I do not have a concern if the computer time is in balance with other activities and outdoor time. We closely monitor who he is interacting with online and also limit his screen time. The virtual games help him connect to friends with whom he may not otherwise get to interact.”

It’s Critical & May Be DyingBy Chris [email protected]
The dog days of summer are nipping at our flip flops, and speaking of pooches, you need to
figure the life of your air conditioner in dog years. Everything after 10 years is a blessing.
As Anthem reaches the mid-point of its terrible teens, we’ve got a whole bunch of air conditioners (which we kind of need out here) living on borrowed time. I strongly suggest you shelter some shekels for anything from a rebuild to a complete new system. In some cases, a talented HVAC tech can bring a dead system back to life for around $2,000. A new “builder-grade” unit will set you back $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the size of the unit, and one with the white walls and undercoating can run you $12,000 or more.
Here are some things you should know:
Efficiency A/C efficiency is measured by its SEER Rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The lowest is 13 and
the highest is 23. A 23-SEER rating is overkill unless you’re a homesick Eskimo, so stick to 18 or lower.
Size The size of the unit is measured in tons and/or BTUs (British Thermal Units). As far as sizing goes, bigger isn’t better. An oversized system is just as bad as an undersized unit. Go for Goldilocks.
State of the Art You don’t need the latest and the greatest. You need to weigh your wallet, energy savings, and how long you plan to live in the house when deciding what’s best for you.
Slimy Sales If the salesperson begins the pitch with “Mr. Sunnysucker, I’ve custom designed this system for your home...” grab your piggy bank and head for higher ground; the fleecing is about to commence.
Expensive Neglect An ounce of prevention is worth $12,000 of cure. Change your filters monthly, and have your system serviced by an honest HVAC company once a year. They’re out there... but so are the hucksters, so proceed with caution. io

A/C Need-to-KnowSTALL THE INEVITABLE Given the high cost of repair and replacement of an air conditioning system, there are a couple things you should do to prolong its natural life.
1. Change your filter. Really. Do it now. Then do it again next month. Continue religiously each month your A/C is operational. Filters are cheap and simple to replace. Whether you should use the pleated ones or fiberglass (above) depends on who you ask. Court Crowell of Desert Hills Air Conditioning prefers the pleated ones. “You get what you pay for with filters,” he said.
2. Have your unit inspected annually. This, according to Crowell, is the best way to ensure your smaller components haven’t failed, decreasing the likelihood that your larger (more expensive) components are the next domino to fall.
TIME TO REPLACE…? “It all boils down to cost,” said Crowell. Compare the cost of a repair (and the likelihood of another major repair) against the cost of a new unit.
And, before giving up on your unit, consider comfort issues that might not be related to your unit.
“[The HVAC systems in Anthem] were
installed very quickly with little attention to detail,” Crowell said. If you live in Anthem, you probably have at least one “hot room.” Typically this can be addressed with the addition of ductwork, according to Crowell.
If you do replace, a couple caveats…n Don’t necessarily go for most efficient.
“When you get above 18 [SEER rating], it’s so cost-prohibitive; it’s a 12-year-plus payback,” said Crowell. But, more expensive units can be quieter and have better warranties.
n Find a trustworthy pro. “Manufacturers [of A/C units] taught us to come in with an array of measuring devices, to do a heat-load calculation on the house, to sit with the homeowner for up to four hours, to try to sell them on the spot—basically with smoke and mirrors,” Crowell said. Ask around before you hire.
QUICK TIPFind the pipe outside your house where your A/C condensate drains. Now look up. There is another pipe above your head. If there is a rust trail on the stucco from this pipe, call a professional, Crowell said. The primary drain is stopped, water is overflowing, and you could be developing a mold problem.
