FRESH START WOMEN’S FOUNDATION

L

ocated in downtown Phoenix, one local organization has been helping thousands of each women year to positively transform their lives by providing education, resources and support. Fresh Start Women’s Foundation began in 1992 as the vision of two sisters’: Pat Petznick and Beverly Stewart.

These two sisters wanted to help women reach their full potential through setting personal and professional goals.

In 2002, the Jewell McFarland Lewis Resource Center was built as a refuge for women of all walks of life to access a wide range of services, classes, and programs designed to teach self-confidence, life skills, and career development.

“We see women from every socioeconomic and cultural background, each with unique life experiences,” says President and CEO Susan Berman. “Our goal is to support each woman who comes through our doors and help her with the support and resources she needs most to take the next step on her path forward.”

Women come to Fresh Start from a number of different situations. Some are recently divorced or separated. Others are unemployed, or simply looking for a new start on life. They’re looking for a friendly face, helpful guidance and a chance to become the women they know they can be—all in a place where they can feel safe.

Fresh Start offers a variety of courses and workshops that include: • Career & Education: Career Exploration; Career Coaching; Mock Interviews; Resume Training; Entrepreneur 101 and more.

• Computer Literacy: Basic Computer Literacy; Google Tools; Basic Microsoft Outlook; Intermediate & Advanced Microsoft Office; Online Banking and more.

• Financial Literacy: Everyday Budgeting; Insurance 101; Homeownership 101; Planning with Investments; Mastering Your Debt and more.

• Personal Development: Assertive Communication; Goal Achievement; Mindful Leadership; Stress Relief; Time Management Essentials and more!

• Family Law Support: Information sessions taught by lawyers and retired judges covering such topics as family court, divorce, child support, immigration and more.

• Support Services: mentorship, closed and open support groups.

To learn more about services provided by Fresh Start, visit: www.freshstartwomen.org You Can Support Fresh Start and Honor Your Mom this Mother’s Day: This year, you can honor your mom with a unique Mother’s Day gift that will last a lifetime! Fresh Start Women’s Foundation has commemorative bricks for sale that you can dedicate to your mother. Customize your brick with a special message to mom, grandma or another significant female role model in your life, and the brick will be laid in the courtyard outside of Fresh Start Women’s Foundation.

CITY NEWS COMPASSION IN THE COMMUNITY

by Dave McMinn

AS FIREFIGHTERS EXTINGUISHED THE LAST OF THE FLAMES, THE MOOD AMONGST THOSE WHO HAD GATHERED BEGAN TO CHANGE. What started out as shock and curiosity turned into something different once everyone realized that a family’s lives would be immediately changed, and changed forever.

In the North Phoenix community of Fireside at Norterra, a recent house fire left one home uninhabitable. While the family escaped injury, the structural damage from the flames, smoke, and water left them - quite literally out on the streets.

It was in that moment that hearts began to open up.

Friends, neighbors, and even total strangers stepped up to assist the homeowners, who were now trying to navigate life away from their home. In the weeks following the fire, there has been a true outpouring of compassion.

A GoFundMe page was launched by a resident of a neighboring community to help raise money and provide immediate assistance.

People responded with gift of $20, $50… even $100 at a time (At the time this article was published, the donation page had been nearing its $2,000 goal).

An especially heartwarming aspect of this story is that help has been coming from not only the grownups. Even the youngest of neighbors felt compelled to lend a 4 • May 2018 • DEER VALLEY TIMES

hand. Ashlee, Kylee and Madison, three little girls with big hearts, set up an oldfashioned lemonade stand, donating their proceeds to the victims of the fire. Glass by glass, the girls raised nearly $200 in just a couple of hours (with the lemonade receiving rave reviews). But the generosity from fellow residents did not end there…

On a recent Sunday afternoon, 10-yearold Abby came home from church inspired to help the cause. She and her little brother, Matthew, opted to forgo their normal weekend playtime for an afternoon spent collecting donations from the driveway of their home. Their proud parents, Amanda and Marc, provided the “marketing support” by getting the word out on social media.

And it wasn’t just friends who filled the donation box.

Money came from unfamiliar faces who saw the online posts and drove over to contribute. By day’s end, Abby and Matthew brought in $685.25! Heartfelt gifts for a worthy cause.

In the midst of turmoil, a family hit with tragedy found themselves surrounded by neighbors who were there not to watch the fire, but to support them. It’s times like this we realize there is much good in the world, and it’s often found right in our own community. This is North Phoenix at its best.

To contribute to the GoFundMe page set up for the family, please go to GoFundMe. com, and search “Torres Family (Fireside).” deervalleytimes.com

CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE?

U

nfortunately, data breach and cybercrime events are in the news daily. These events impact large retail chains, large national banks, our federal government and a major social media company just to name a few. Typically, data breaches result in major fines, legal fees and reputational damage.

We often hear about the data breaches related to large national and global companies; however, over 50 percent of small businesses have experienced a data breach as well.A data breach can damage more than just your computer system - it can impact your company’s reputation, business assets and put your customers’ and employees’ private information at risk. Cyber Liability Insurance is a wise purchase for any size business based on the increased frequency of data breach events.

Cyber Liability Insurance covers your business liability for a data breach involving sensitive private information like social security numbers, credit card numbers, health records, account numbers and driver license numbers. Your General Liability insurance policy covers bodily

injury and property damage incurred by third parties as a result of your services, products or business operations. Almost all General liability policies exclude coverage for cyber liability events.

What specific protection can Cyber Liability provide?

• Legal fees and expenses • Recovery of compromised data • Repair of damaged computer systems • Cost to notify customers about the data breach • Cost to restore personal identities of affected customers • Cost of credit monitoring of affected customers Regardless of the size of your business, SJS Insurance strongly recommends that businesses address this growing exposure with a Cyber Liability Insurance policy to protect their business, customers and employees from a data breach or cybercrime.

NETWORKING 85085: A NEW COMMUNITY NETWORKING WEEKLY EVENT

A

re you looking to expand your referrals and your professional business contacts? Are you tired of leaving your family in the evening to drive 45 minutes to go to a networking event that charges you money? Are you looking to have people in your circle who you can trust and feel comfortable referring business to, because they are your neighbors, community leaders and volunteers?

If you answered yes to any of these

questions, then come check out the new and exciting Networking 85085.

My name is April Creeger, and I have created this networking opportunity so that we can spend less time driving all over the valley for disconnected networking opportunities. If you are spending $20 a week on networking, you are spending $80 minimum to go to these networking events a month not to mention the food once you are there, the gas and most importantly your time. It is my desire, as well as the desire of the meeting attendees, to connect on a very real and personal level with their peers and business owners who work and live in the community. We currently meet at lunch time weekly, at Limón Tacos and Tequila at the corner of Dove Valley and North Valley Parkway, next to Fry’s.

We start at 11:30 so we can enjoy lunch, ($2 Taco Tuesdays, can’t beat that) thus continuing the cycle of supporting a locally owned business that is right in our backyard. We have time to eat, mingle and enjoy each others company. At 12:00 we start networking and have time to explain our businesses and pass out business cards. After formal introductions we then have time for one on one time with the individuals that we would like to get to know, either because you have a common connection, or you want to do business with that person, or possibly have a referral for them.

We will also have a happy hour once a month at various locations, updated on the Facebook page.

What NETWORKING 85085 is: This is an opportunity to get to know your neighbors, in a friendly fun environment. All are welcome to come, the only requirement is your desire to

meet new people, and that you live and/or work in 85085.

What NETWORKING 85085 is not: We are not a BNI. You are not required to meet every week or send a replacement when you are gone. I am a travel consultant, I travel extensively so that my clients are well informed.

We all have extremely busy lives, with kids, aging parents, health issues, etc, and I don’t want you to feel unwelcome because you can’t make one meeting or you are running late. There is not cost to join in, just the cost of your food, if you desire to eat. We are not the biggest gig in town, that would be left to the Chambers, which they do a fantastic job. You can find all the information at Facebook group page, Networking 85085, request to become a member, or email me at acreeger@ cruiseplanners.com. Come check us out, making business relationships, one connection at a time.

HEALTH

NEW MEDICARE CARDS ARE ON THEIR WAY!

H

ere is valuable information you need to know about your new Medicare card, and ways to avoid related scams: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) is currently mailing new Medicare ID cards through April 2019, as part of an effort from CMS to help protect the beneficiary’s identity and to prevent fraud. The new card is free and will have a unique, 11-character combination of letters and numbers randomly assigned to you, that has no connection to your other personal data. It will still be red, white, and blue, but will not include your Social Security number or other information that could compromise your identity.

The mailing process won’t cost you anything. It is expected to take up to a year and will be done at various times throughout the country. Don’t be surprised if your card arrives at a different time than your spouse, friend, or neighbor. In Arizona, the new

cards are expected to begin being mailed after June 2018.

When the new card arrives, shred your old card and begin using your new card immediately. It’s important that you provide your hospital, doctor, pharmacist, and/or other health care provider with the new card when you need medications, hospital, medical, or any other health services. If you do not have your new card with you when it is needed, the provider may be able to look up your Medicare number online.

It’s important to note that the card is proof that you have Medicare coverage.

As far as your current Medicare coverage, it should not be affected, and benefits will remain unchanged. Your current insurance ID cards should also not change or be reissued because of this transition; keep both your new Medicare card and your insurance ID card.

don’t need to do anything before the cards are mailed; it will automatically be sent to you. If you want to ensure that your address is correct, or if you need to make a change, you can contact the Social Security Administration Office (which will be preparing and mailing the cards) at ssa.gov/ myaccount or you may call 800-772-1213.

There are scammers with new tactics who have already targeted people and tried to trick them into sharing their personal information. CMS will not call a beneficiary for private or personal information in order for you to get your new Medicare number and/ or card.

Use caution when giving your new Medicare number to others; be sure that you trust them to work with Medicare on your behalf, such as doctors or other health providers, pharmacists, insurers. If someone asks you for your personal information or for money, or if they threaten to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share that

personal information, hang up immediately.

Also remember to guard your Medicare card and number, and don’t give personal information in exchange for your Medicare card.

If you need additional information, you may choose to speak with a licensed and certified professional agent at no cost to you.

Jody Cohen is an independent licensed Medicare Plans Specialist and Educator who specializes in helping Arizona seniors understand the healthcare options available to them in the Medicare platform. She offers a complimentary, thorough needs analysis and reviews the most cost efficient plan to ensure that medical needs are met with a preferred provider network, and prescription costs are kept to a minimum.

KIDS’ CORNER

TIPS FOR CAMPING WITH KIDS IN ARIZONA

By Jill “MamaBug” Frier

S

ummer is fast approaching and there is no time like the present to start planning outdoor activities and trips with your youngsters.

One new activity our family plans to tackle this year is camping. We are avid hikers and love to find fun adventures around Arizona, both indoors and outdoors. But we have yet to take our daughter camping.

I believe in planning ahead and finding out what the experts have to say. There are many great websites and articles on the subject, but one of my very best resources is my dear friend Carol Satran. She and her family of six are true experts on all things camping, fishing and hunting in Arizona. They spend more time enjoying camping and the outdoors with their kids than anyone I know!

CAROL SHARED HER BEST TIPS FOR CAMPING WITH KIDS: • Start taking the kids camping when they are young. This makes a lot of sense – camping means that your kids are in a completely different environment with different habits, times and amenities. Be sure you prepare your kids for being outside in different types of weather and have a lot of patience as they learn and adapt to a new environment.

• Involve everyone in packing. This includes packing beforehand, setting up the campsite, breaking camp and putting camping gear away when you get home. Getting your kids involved in the packing and unpacking process helps them be a part of the whole camping experience. Kids want to be involved and including them in packing and unpacking keeps them interested and helps them learn the ins and outs of camping.

• Bring cards, a checker game and a

F R E E High School Summer Classes!  Make-up Lost Credits  Enroll Part-time or Full-time Attend in JULY Monday –Friday Located at 51st Ave & Union Hills  Open to students from any district

board game or two to play.

It’s important to be prepared for the inevitable changes in plans and these activities are always handy on a rainy afternoon (especially at places like Big Lake in July).

• Bring bicycles. Carol’s kids love riding their bikes at Big Lake and around other camping areas across the state (we love to ride at the Grand Canyon). It’s great entertainment and a quick, easy alternative to hiking longer distances.

• Bring your best trivia, stories and games. Sitting around the campfire sharing stories or playing games (for example, the alphabet game naming animals) is a fun way to pass the time and enjoy spending time with your family. Carol’s family also loves to play the Alaska trivia game, since they have been there so many times.

• Don’t forget the S’mores! Of course this goes without saying.

WHERE ARE THE BEST PLACES TO CAMP? Here are some of Carol’s favorite campsites to get her family outside, breathing the fresh air and seeing the beauty of nature in Arizona: Big Lake Big Lake, Arizona is located in the White Mountains of North Eastern Arizona, near the Sunrise Ski area.

They are open from mid-April to midNovember, as weather permits (they are snowed in during the winter).

Blue Ridge Campground The Blue Ridge Campground is located near Happy Jack, AZ. It’s one of the many campgrounds in the Coconino National Forest and is about 5 miles north of Blue Ridge Reservoir.

For REGISTRATION info call 602.467.6874 or visit www.DeerValleyAcademy.org/Enrollment 10 • May 2018 • DEER VALLEY TIMES

Wet Beaver Creek Campground Located east of Sedona, near Camp Verde, the Wet Beaver Creek Campground is open year round. Situated right between Montezuma’s Castle and Montezuma’s Well, this is one of

several campgrounds in the area. Many of the trails lead right into the heart of Sedona, and fantastic archeological sites are plentiful.

Her family also loves many of the campsites between Cottonwood and Sedona, camping at Lake Powell, sites outside of Flagstaff, and Dogtown Lake near Williams, AZ. And don’t forget to check out Arizona State Parks and one of the many National Parks in our state.

Both have fantastic resources, great campgrounds and really good information about camping on their websites.

Before you head out to go camping, take time to prepare for your trip. Pack all of the food, clothing and equipment you will need. Watch the weather and pack appropriate clothing and gear.

Stay in designated areas, pack out all of your garbage and keep your cell phone handy for emergencies. Make sure your kids understand the rules for camping, hiking and the outdoors, and check the local websites for your campground to look for alerts or special announcements. There are tons of great places to go camping in Arizona – take the time to find the right camping spot for you and your family.

Be sure to check out Ladybug’s Blog for more articles and recommendations for fun things to do outside with kids everywhere in Arizona! deervalleytimes.com

EDUCATION

PARENTS BRING CHARTER SCHOOL DREAM TO FRUITION

T

he vision for Adams Traditional Academy began at a kitchen table with a group of parents who wanted to incorporate some of their own ideas into starting a charter school.

The parents drew from their wide array of backgrounds and their belief in traditional education to set the foundation for the public charter school’s approach and philosophy.

These parents believed that students could accomplish the extraordinary if they mastered the basics.

That means if the school integrated phonics, civics, history, cursive writing and Latin with art and science, it could spark their creativity.

Nearly a decade later, Adams Traditional, has grown into an A-rated K-8 school and one of the top public schools in the state.

“We want to make sure they have those basic skills because the research shows that if they have those basic skills, their creative juices will kick in,” said Lisa

Fink, Board President for Choice Academies, Inc., which operates Adams Traditional.

Fink was one of eight parents who gathered around that kitchen table years ago to help form the blueprint for their future school.

Adam Traditional Academy’s success is the fruit of some hard labor undertaken by the parents when they set out to open the school years ago.

The group researched specific programs to use as part of the school’s curriculum, adopting a math program from Singapore, a language arts program that emphasizes phonemic awareness and lab-based science lessons. Today, it’s not uncommon for students to work on an assignment combining their work from history, science or language arts with art, music or technology.

They also wanted to heavily emphasize civics and history, including the Constitution, founding fathers and past presidents of the United States. Adams Traditional kindergartners recently finished

a “President’s Project,” studying each President and First Lady. The culmination of the project included well developed displays of the findings and even dressing up in presidential costumes.

maintains a culture that promotes active parent involvement.

With support from the federal Charter Schools Program grant, Adams Traditional founders were able to find and furnish their first facility, partnering with the Arizona Charter Schools Association and Charter School Development Corporation to search for properties.

After encountering some obstacles, the school found its current campus in North Phoenix’s Deer Valley area, which featured a brand-new building that sat vacant during the recession.

The school eventually expanded the existing building and constructed another facility on the site.

“We went in phases because we didn’t want to build a huge facility and not have the revenue to be able to sustain it,” The school now enrolls about 660 students and includes a preschool.

Although it’s grown in both size and academics, Adams Traditional still

“This is a community center with the parents and the other kids,” said Cindy Richards, whose seventh-grade son attends the school. “This is where his friends are, this is where a lot of my friends are.”

Richards, who has served on the school’s site council and parent teacher organization, sought out Adams Traditional because she was looking for an alternative to her son’s neighborhood school.

“They talked about hands-on, having a science lab, art and what they were learning in history, they would do a project in art involving that. They would tie the disciplines together,” she said. “They promoted good citizenship. It’s important to raise kids that are going to make a good, healthy contribution to the world.”

Richards knows the school is challenging her son to rise academically and that it will pay dividends in the future.

“He knows he’s supposed to work hard and strive,” she said. “It just sets him up academically for a good path in life.”

COVER STORY WELCOME TO ‘WALL STREET WEST’

T

o say that Deer Valley job growth is booming is an understatement. North PhoenixDeer Valley has quickly grown to be a financial services and financial technology corridor of Grand Canyon proportions and is becoming known as ‘Wall Street West.’

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Maricopa Association of Governments and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Deer Valley is the largest concentration of financial services companies in Arizona, and one of the largest in the U.S. Look at the numbers. Currently there are 14 Deer Valley employers with 250 or more employees generating a workforce of more than 19,000. There

“

In the news story “Goodbye New York, Hello Arizona,” BBC News, projected that by 2020, Phoenix will have more financial services jobs than Wall Street; Dallas already has more, but Phoenix is chomping at the bit to surpass them.

The BBC report attributes the shift to population trends in the U.S., and is “also driven by growth in insurance, investment advice and consumer lending jobs, over the trading and securities roles historically based in New York.”

Those trends are reflected in what we are seeing with the high-quality companies and jobs that our Community and Economic Development Department is working hard to attract to the Deer Valley area.

”

BBC News, projected that by 2020, Phoenix will have more financial services jobs than Wall Street.

are more than 400 smaller financial services and financial technology companies just in Deer Valley bringing the total financial services workforce to more than 23,000. As of March 1, 2018, these 23,000 financial services and financial technology jobs are located within a three-mile radius of the Loop 101 and Interstate 17 interchange.

These companies are not ‘flash in the pan’ operations, they are high quality employers, recognized as national leaders in their industries. USAA is adding 1,000 technology jobs and several hundred support positions because of their workforce expansions here. Farmers Insurance is moving 400 employees from around the Valley to Deer Valley and will add 400 to 600 more workers over the next three years to its satellite headquarters.

Paychex recently announced that they selected Deer Valley for their corporate west or second headquarters, adding 300 employees to the 500 that are already here. deervalleytimes.com

These financial services jobs that are coming to Phoenix are high value jobs with an average individual wage at $61,500, significantly higher than the $48,500 Maricopa County average household income.

Corporate leaders tell us that Deer Valley appeals to people from all over the Valley, that expansion in Arizona is a recruiting tool for people all over the country, that the workforce located right here is one of the best and that they want to hire engineers graduating from Arizona State University. That speaks volumes to the caliber of talent and quality of life that we have in Phoenix.

If you have any questions or comments, contact my office at council. district.1@phoenix.gov or call 602262-7444.

Vice Mayor Thelda Williams serves as the District 1 representative which encompasses north west Phoenix from Northern Avenue to New River Road; and the Interstate 17 to 67th Avenue.

Major employers with 250 or more in their workforces are identified in orange.

REAL ESTATE

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A ZIP CODE MAKES

By Shelley Sakala

T

he real estate market runs in cycles. If you’re a homeowner, you happen to be in the middle of pretty good one. The median sales price of existing homes in the U.S. has risen steadily for the past six years (great news for anyone waiting on home values to recover from 2008 levels). We’ve seen a similar trend in the Deer Valley and Norterra areas.

But it’s important to understand the real estate market on a local level.

Each zip code has its own nuances in terms of market conditions and value.

And sometimes local conditions vary greatly from the national or even citywide trends.

For example, look at the primary areas served by this publication: Deer Valley

and the Norterra area. While the price per square foot has been almost identical, actual price points vary significantly. For starters, Deer Valley has inventory selling for less than $200,000 (a price point nonexistent in the Norterra area). Norterra has inventory in the luxury home market, while Deer Valley does not. That’s not to say there aren’t nice homes in Deer Valley – it just means the homes there are more affordable.

According to the current rate-of-sale vs. available inventory, Deer Valley is currently rated as a strong seller’s market. By comparison, Norterra is a slight seller’s advantage.* So if you’re a Deer Valley home owner, you may be in a stronger position than a Norterra homeowner. But it’s all relative – For a budget of $200,000, Norterra offers no

options. And if you’re in the market for a $500,000 home, you won’t find it in Deer Valley.

the Deer Valley Airpark are lease spec projects and most are already receiving plenty of lease activity.

The four Southwest Property Ventures speculative industrial buildings available for sale on 19th Avenue just south of Pinnacle Peak completed in January all went into escrow prior to completion. This type of activity was unheard of just a year ago. Building industrial spec buildings starting in 2008 to 2015 was also extremely rare. The tide has turned and demand is high. The 8 spec buildings SPV developed on the SEC of 19th Ave and Pinnacle Peak and the 8 built at Spectrum Ridge all sold or are currently in escrow. These 16 office/warehouse buildings were all built spec and were all between approximately 10,000 sq. ft. and 15,000 sq. ft. There are currently no more available in this market.

There are currently only seven properties that have available buildings/industrial condos for sale between 500 sq. ft. and 4,000 sq. ft. There are also only seven office/warehouse buildings available for purchase over 4,000 sq. ft. up to 20,000 sq. ft. None of these are new products.

Those end-users seeking to purchase between 4,000 and 12,000 sq. ft. have very limited options today. We are truly in a sellers’ market.

Demand is high and inventory is low.

Pricing has also seen a steady climb. New construction in the industrial office/warehouse product has increased to approximately $140 psf for purchase and $0.75 to $0.85 psf (NNN) for lease. Of course, second generation is about 10% to 15% lower and there are still a few bargains to be had but they are much harder to find today.

We should expect increased new development in the Airpark over the next few years to catch up with demand. Historically Deer Valley Airpark has been a very productive market for most developers. There has been numerous multi-tenant lease product built over the last year but very little sale product. Buyers will be hard pressed to find what they need or want and will have to pay a premium if they do or look to lease. Until development catches up with demand this will remain a sellers’ market. deervalleytimes.com

MOMS, DADS AND GRADS: WHY A VACATION IS THE IDEAL GIFT FOR EVERYONE

M

oms: Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Mothers and Grandmothers do an enormous amount for their families throughout the year and Mother’s Day is the right time to celebrate moms.

They have many hats they wear all year long, and a pampering vacation is just what your mother, grandmother, or mother figure craves and needs.

Whether the mother figure in your life is a stay-at-home mom, being the head chef, taxi driver, cleaning and doing laundry, or is out there in the corporate world working full time, then doing all the household chores, she deserves to be appreciated daily! Studies show that families spend more than $150 on their mothers on Mother’s Day and that moms choose spending time with their children as their favorite gift. Moms love to take time off from their daily, arduous routines and feel special. Instead of buying her flowers that die quickly, or taking her to a restaurant on Mother’s Day, think outside of the box and look for a warm weather getaway that will allow her to relax and rejuvenate. She will come back refreshed, recharged and grateful.

deervalleytimes.com

DADS: Mothers aren’t the only ones deserving of the gift of travel; show dad some love too! Whether dad was always there to be a handyman, helped you learn to ride a bike or told the best dad jokes, he deserves an awesome present. A Cruise Planners Travel Consultant can help you plan the perfect trip for dad, from a ski trip to Colorado to a weekend with his buddies in Las Vegas or even a river cruise with mom. Is your dad a huge history buff? There are fantastic options to explore WWII sights overseas like the Churchill War Rooms in London, or exploring Normandy. Maybe your dad is a beer aficionado? Take him on a weekend to Seattle, or better yet plan a vacation to Belgium to explore some old or new breweries and craft beer. Or maybe your dad loves cigars and old cars? Nothing more exciting than taking a cruise to untouched and virtually unchanged Cuba to see all the vibrant, colorful cars of the 1950’s chugging along with their proud owners. Then partake in a genuine Cuban cigar, a dream come true. There are 4 night introductory cruises to Cuba, or extensive 10 night cruises to really give you an immersive Cuban experience into the people, culture and sights, sounds, and flavors of Cuba. A vacation is the perfect way to take care of dad for a change!

tion trip to chance? Millennials are the fastest and largest growing segment of travelers that utilize the services of a travel consultant.

There are many choices for young adult travel, so grab 10 of your closest friends, or go solo and go explore the world.

Immersive travel is fulfilling, spirited and connects you to the locals, with their food, stories, drinks, and passion for their culture and way of life.

ASK THE Gate EXPERT

GATEWAY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS Q. How have gate operators changed over the years?

A. Gate operators have come a long way in the last decade. Most recently there have been updated safety standards, by way of UL325, that have paved the way to making gate automation an industry that takes consumer safety seriously.

The topic on most homeowners’ minds tends to be security when it comes to gate automation. The main function of an automated driveway gate is to secure a property. With new technology available it’s possible to have an automated system that physically locks a gate when it’s in the closed position, preventing forced entry onto a property.

Licensed | Bonded | Insured As better and better technology

becomes available to the gate automation industry, we find our customers requesting to have their existing systems updated. Advancements in wireless communication integrated into newer gate operators provides internet connectivity and smartphone compatibility. This allows a homeowner to monitor and control their entry gate from anywhere in the world.

Q.Why should I update my current gate?

A. On some properties, an entry gate is the first thing that any visitor will see. This becomes especially important in relation to the curb appeal of a home. By updating older gate designs with newer, more modern aesthetics it gives you a chance to bring a fresh AZ ROC #303981 look to your home and while also increasing your home’s resale value.

Rep ies air/R sor s e epla c Ac ce | G tors | ate Operato rs | Door Opera

Security comes back up when you think about your homeowners insurance.

Often times an insurance company can provide rebates or discounts for having a properly installed and safe perimeter gate system. This is because they are always very aware how much a gate can act as a deterrent and decreases the likelihood of break ins and burglaries.

Q.What does regular maintenance include, and why do I need it?

A. Regular maintenance is as important to your gate as it is to your car. There are a lot of moving mechanical parts involved in your gate and operator system that can wear out prematurely if they are not maintenance properly. During every service we perform, we conduct a

complete inspection of all parts on your system to diagnose the current condition and know what problems may arise in the future. This allows us to take a proactive approach to maintenance and get ahead of any part failures to ensure continuous and reliable performance.

The safety features of your gate are also a critical component in regards to the operation of your gate. We can prevent injuries and accidents by properly testing the equipped safety systems and making adjustments if necessary.

The best time to find out if your safety features are not working is when service is being performed. Avoid being in a dangerous situation and get your gate serviced regularly!

PETS

NICE WEATHER FOR YOU BUT NOT YOUR PET

By Michael Morefield

W

ith a fur coat and limited cooling mechanisms, dogs can overheat in weather that many people think is a gorgeous Arizona day. Dr. Rebecca Bukowy of MD Petcare has seen more cases of heat exhaustion during the

spring and fall months than in the summer. Even when it’s 70 degrees outside, the inside of a car can rise above 115 degrees in less than an hour. On a beautiful 80-degree day, your dog can start to suffer heat stroke in less than 30 minutes inside your car. Mitigate heat exhaustion risks by walking early in the morning or late at night, carrying plenty of water for your pet, never leaving your dog in the car, and looking for warning signs of heat exhaustion. If your pet is excessively panting, lethargic, or has bright red or blue gums, immediately stop outdoor activities and slowly cool your pet down to avoid heat stroke.

You may need to also seek veterinary assistance, as heat stroke is an emergency situation.

GOT THAT SPF? Thick coats of fur may overheat your dog, but short-coated dogs can suffer even bigger problems: skin cancer. Short or white coats, like on bully breeds, does not protect their skin from UV rays very well, which can cause different forms of skin cancer. Use a children’s or dog-friendly sunscreen, which is made for more sensitive skin, and avoid using an aerosolized sunscreen. Thick liquid sunscreens can be rubbed into their fur and onto their skin. A word of caution: make sure your dog doesn’t lick it off; it can make them sick. A quick rinse will wash off any excess at the end of your outdoor activities and keep them cool!

WATER ACTIVITIES If you’re looking to have outdoor fun with your dog as temps rise, think about games with a kiddie pool.

Found at most stores for less than $20, small pools can fit on apartment patios and provide endless fun for your pup on a hot day. Find some healthy snacks around the house, such as carrots or apple slices, and throw them into the pool. Hunting for snacks in the water and using their problem-solving skills will mentally stimulate your dog, which is as important as physical exercise. Throw their favorite toys into the

pool for a splashy game of fetch or wet their fur to cool them down. It may be the best $20 you spend all summer on your dog.

ESCAPE THE HEAT, BUT NOT THE TICKS As more people and their four-legged family members escape up north for cooler temperatures, they may not realize they are exposing their dogs to hungry, disease-carrying ticks. The majority of dog owners in the valley do not use flea and tick treatment on their pets, but a simple monthly treatment can save them what could be thousands of dollars in medical bills. Tick fever, tick paralysis and blood borne diseases carried by ticks can infect your dog during one of your weekend outings in the woods. Some of these diseases are fatal but can be easily avoided with a pill or cream every month. Even outside of the summer months, owners should continue the treatments.

One of the worst cases of tick borne illnesses at MD PetCare was a dog who lived in the Valley and never went farther than his backyard.

IF IT’S TOO HOT FOR YOUR HAND… Even if the temperature feels nice enough for a walk, asphalt can retain a lot of heat after sunset. Use the back of your hand to feel the ground. If you can’t leave the back of your hand on the ground for seven seconds, it’s too hot for your pup’s feet. If the air temperature is in the 70’s and 80’s, asphalt in the sun can be over 120 degrees, which can cause skin damage on the bottom of their paws. Booties are an option, but they do take extra training and should not be used as an answer to walking your dog when the outside temperature is too hot.

With the above safety tips, you and your dog can survive the Arizona summer with ease!

MOVIES MOVIE REVIEWS Reviewed by A.D. Beal

FIRST REFORMED

A pastor’s sanity loosens as he struggles with his beliefs in the aftermath of the suicide of someone who went to him for help.

2018 has been a great year for film so far. Ethan Hawke’s performance as Toller is arguably his best, often calm and subtle in scenes where he is having tough conversations and when he is on the verge of breaking down. The way director and writer Paul Schrader shot these scenes is incredible, whether he uses long takes, wide angles or the standard back and forth editing of a conversation, each time it always works to benefit the mood of the scene. This also leads to some incredible shots on their own. In addition, Schrader’s screenplay, while being about the guilt of not being able to help someone, also touches on how we treat our environment, how far we can go as activists, and the fear of a bleak future. It’s a very tough and somber film, but that’s what makes it great.

YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE

A hired gun’s rescue of a senator’s daughter has repercussions for himself and his associates.

Lynne Ramsay’s adaptation of Jonathan Ames novel of the same name is brutal and beautiful.

The film flows like fever dream with every moment, whether calm or frightening, always having the uncomfortable switch dialed up to 10.

Joaquin Phoenix’s role, the war vet Joe, is quiet but still menacing, never feeling overdramatic in his actions. Jonny Grennwood’s score is haunting, but weirdly soothing as well, with its placements throughout the film used as a look into the mind of Joe during specific scenes. The film’s short runtime of just 90 minutes never comes off as rushed and allows the story to take it’s time.

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

A documentary that demystifies Fred Rogers and his career, including the creation of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

20 • May 2018 • DEER VALLEY TIMES

What’s great about Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is that it shows many of Fred Rogers’ faults. He was unsure of how to approach some subjects, he had his doubts about himself, and was even not as accepting of a cast member’s sexuality at first. But he always drove to improve himself and to make everyone feel welcome. This is confirmed by the BTS footage on the set of Neighborhood, the b-roll footage of him with children, and even just him living his life. Each of the interviewees had something to bring to the film and revealed a new thing I had never known about Fred. But one of the best parts is how they handle the rumors about Mr. Rogers, and it’s both funny and heartwarming, much like most of this film.

BLINDSPOTTING

Two friends in Oakland have their relationship tested during the last few days of probation for one of them.

Throughout Blindspotting, especially in its third act, there’s a ticking time bomb feeling, that any one mistake could completely destroy everything that Colin (Daveed Diggs) has been working for. His chemistry with Miles (Rafael Casal) is believable enough. In each scene that involves just the two of them hanging out, working or fighting, you understand both of their feelings. The politics of the film are also handled very well, as the title itself is about how one sees another individual on the surface, and we see how this affects several characters in the film. It’s a film that demands you pay attention, and you do. And like all good films, it leaves you thinking after the credits roll.
