BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVES TENTATIVE FY 2020 BUDGET TAX RATE REMAINS FLAT; COUNTY INVESTS IN PEOPLE, PETS, AND PARKS WITH A NEW DECADE ON THE HORIZON, THE NATION’S FASTEST-GROWING COUNTY IS MAKING SMART INVESTMENTS TO FURTHER POSITION ITSELF AS AN ATTRACTIVE, LONGTERM HOME FOR FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES. The Board of Supervisors approved a tentative $2.57 billion budget for fiscal year 2020. “This fiscally responsible and sustainable budget keeps the tax rate steady for our residents while investing in the kinds of technology and infrastructure that works to serve citizens better,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, District 3. “These investments include strengthening public safety, improving the voter experience, preserving and enhancing our open space, and utilizing technology and process improvement to save money and make our county government more efficient while providing better service. I am grateful to my colleagues on the Board and to all departments for budgeting in a way that plans for, and protects, the future.” With the 2020 elections fast approaching, the budget reserves funding for updated elections equipment that is expected to increase the speed with which votes can be counted. Improved technology is one piece of a larger discussion about the future of elections in Maricopa County.

“Making our elections the best they can be is a priority of every person on this Board,” said Vice Chairman Clint Hickman, District 4. “Modern, reliable equipment is essential for a county of our size so we can efficiently handle the potential record number of voters participating in our democracy in the 2020 elections and beyond.” Recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show Maricopa County added 81,244 people between July 2017 and July 2018, the most of any county in the nation. The FY 2020 budget allocates $296.9 million for capital improvement projects which will modernize the infrastructure needed to support that growing population. Those projects include multi-milliondollar investments in county parks; a new East Valley animal shelter; and a new substation for the Sheriff’s Office in Avondale. The budget also provides continued funding for the new jail intake facility, Southeast Regional Justice Center, Central Court building, and 225 Madison renovation project, which will turn an old jail into modern, usable office space. “I am proud to be part of the team that continues to pass budgets that protect our taxpayers while serving the needs of our ever-growing county population,” said Supervisor Jack Sellers, District 1. “This budget will assure the protection and well-being of our citizens. I’m pleased the tax rate won’t change nor is the county required

to take on debt to fund operations.” At a time when many other counties are taxing as much as they are allowed by state law, Maricopa County’s tax levy is $140.5 million below the maximum. “We live in the most dynamic county in the United States where people tend to have a lower cost of living and pay less for government services than they do in other large metropolitan areas,

“

• $100,000 to update unincorporated area plans for the next generation. • Three new positions for the County’s Innovation Studio, focused on process improvement that in 2018 saved an estimated $1.5 million dollars. • Full-time, permanent homeless coordinator to support regional solutions to homelessness through Human Services Department.

Recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show Maricopa County added 81,244 people between July 2017 and July 2018, the most of any county in the nation. The FY 2020 budget allocates $296.9 million for capital improvement projects which will modernize the infrastructure needed to support that growing population.

while also having access to diverse job and recreational opportunities,” said Supervisor Steve Chucri, District 2. “This budget supports the Maricopa County of the future by building on a great foundation of innovative planning and fiscal intelligence to move us forward.” OTHER BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: • $1.5 million to continue the current model of animal shelter operations that has resulted in a 95% save rate. • $1.5 million for process and technology improvements that support the strategic goal of becoming an alldigital county by 2022.

”

“Investments in county staff directly benefit the people of Maricopa County by ensuring the best and brightest work here, and not somewhere else,” said Supervisor Steve Gallardo, District 5. “Having a permanent homeless coordinator at a time when the region’s homeless population continues to grow at an alarming rate is one example of how the county is prioritizing spending to make a real difference on issues that matter.”

The public will be able to comment on the tentative budget between now and the final vote which is scheduled for June 24.

ABRAZO SCOTTSDALE SETS JUNE 7-14 CEREAL DRIVE DONATIONS OF HEALTHY CEREAL TO BENEFIT LOCAL FOOD BANKS WILL BE ACCEPTED JUNE 7-14 AT ABRAZO SCOTTSDALE CAMPUS, 3929 E. BELL RD. Abrazo Health is leading a community effort to provide area children and adults struggling with hunger with a healthy breakfast during the summer. Abrazo’s Healthy Over Hungry® cereal drive will benefit the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance. Whole-grain cereal, when part of a healthy, balanced breakfast including dairy, fruit and lean protein, is a popular food item that experts say can easily address the hunger gap during the summer months when children are not in school. “Summer is a particularly difficult time because many children in need can no

longer rely on their school meals for a nutritious breakfast, so their families often turn to food banks for help,” said Ed Staren, chief administrative officer, Abrazo Scottsdale Campus. “We recognize the importance of beginning each day with a nutritious breakfast and, through this drive, we hope to help those in our community struggling with food insecurity.” The Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive is supported by Abrazo Health’s parent organization Tenet Healthcare, which in 2018 collected five million servings of cereal and donated $380,000 through the efforts of its facilities across the U.S. Packages of healthy breakfast cereal may be donated June 7-14 at Abrazo Scottsdale Campus, 3929 E.

WONDERSPACES BRINGS INTERACTIVE ART TO SCOTTSDALE HAVE YOU EVER CRAVED AN EXPERIENCE THAT EXPANDED YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD? If your answer is “yes,” Wonderspaces Arizona is made for you. What began as a pop-up artistic experience in California is now in its first permanent location in Arizona at Scottsdale Fashion Square and is a true delight to audiences of all ages and interests. Guests have the chance to experience a magical night of interactive art experiences from 13 different artists around the world, as they enjoy immersive, participatory, interactive art paired with curated drinks and snacks in the 16,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Harkins Theatres. Wonderspaces’ inaugural show, “Point of View,” will challenge traditional viewpoints of time, religion, power and reality - featuring everything from digital painting through body movement to a virtual dinner party (brought to you by a former Homeland story editor and House of Cards producer). Some of the most popular featured artwork displays include “Body Paint,” which plays on the natural instinct to express oneself through

movement and dance. Body Paint interprets physical gestures into evolving compositions. It’s a true interaction experience, captured through the motion and energy of the body. Additionally, “Black Balloons” has been another show stopper for many, which is comprised of balloons with opposing weights. The artwork explores contradictions, lightness and heaviness, attraction and repulsion, materiality and immateriality. Wonderspaces Arizona is pleased to share its plans for this summer, as the second show under development called “Elsewhere” will feature a new lineup of artwork that prompts guests to question reality. Wonderspaces is open to the public, with tickets ranging from $19 (weekday) to $24 (weekend) for adults; $15 (weekday) to $15 (weekend) for children (ages 3-12); and $17 (weekday) to $21 (weekend) for students, Seniors and military members. All children under the age of 3 are free. Current hours: Closed on Mondays, Tuesday – Thursday 12 p.m. – 10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.

MARICOPA COUNTY GETS RID OF OVERDUE FINES AT ITS PUBLIC LIBRARIES MARICOPA COUNTY IS WELCOMING THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS BACK TO ITS PUBLIC LIBRARIES. The Board of Supervisors has voted to eliminate overdue fines – and to waive existing overdue fines – at the County’s 18 public libraries. This measure only applies to Maricopa County Library District libraries. While part of a growing national movement, Maricopa County is the first public library system in Arizona to take this step for all customers. “Libraries are an important resource for children and adults to learn about and connect with their community and world,” said Bill Gates, Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, District 3. “This is why we have decided to discontinue collecting daily overdue fines and to waive any existing fines that can build up and lead to blocked accounts for people who can least afford them, giving everyone a fresh start. We’re proud to be the first system in the state to remove this barrier between our residents and a vital community resource.” “No one should be kept from libraries because of overdue fines,” said Cindy Kolaczynski, Director of 6 • June/July 2019 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

the Maricopa County Library District. “Collecting fines isn’t a quick process. Our staff would much rather help customers explore and discover. Now is the perfect time to get or renew your library card and enjoy the library in person and online.” MINIMAL FINANCIAL IMPACT Maricopa County Library District receives about $300,000 from overdue fine payments each year, less than one percent of its budget. “That number has been dropping and doesn’t account for the resources it takes to collect payments,” continued Kolaczynski. “Coupled with the rise in digital items, which auto-return on the due date, it just makes sense to eliminate overdue fines.” SUMMER READING PROGRAM STARTS JUNE 1 County officials also reminded the public to register at read20az.com for the annual Summer Reading Program, which runs through June and July. “Everyone can earn great prizes, including a free book,” Kolaczynski added. “You don’t need a library card for the program, but it definitely improves the experience.” north32ndnews.com

A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE... involves waking up early with my wife Olivia before she goes to work. Second, I get my son up and ready for preschool. This usually involves a series of negotiations like what cereal to eat, how long is potty time and which Thomas the Train show to watch on the tablet. After dropping him off at school, I finally head to the office. My day at the office involves many different hats. I divide my time between networking and marketing, to treating and educating patients. I truly enjoy health and wellness and being able to share with my community the benefits of chiropractic and alternative care is a privilege. I will do an event at a local gym or a lunch and learn talk at a local business. I always make sure to end my work day with treating patients because this is the part that I enjoy most. When I leave the office for the day I will head home and spend time with my family. Because we just moved to Arizona from Chicago, the warmer weather here is truly wonderful. We like to spend our evenings going for a walk or bike ride in the Preserves. MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN THE NORTH 32ND COMMUNITY... are all of the outdoor activities. It is so nice to have the Preserves at our backdoor, and to be able to hike and bike ride most of the year. My favorite thing about working in such a physically active area is that as a chiropractor, I can help educate and treat families, parents and kids alike, to achieve their health goals.

Beau Horner

THE PERFECT DAY WOULD BE... spending time with Olivia and Emmit like going to brunch and then for a hike or bike ride, followed by a good long nap. Then having a nice dinner on an outdoor patio or beer garden. MY FIRST JOB WAS... a sandwich artist at Blimpie’s. MY LIFE... is evolving.

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON... lunch and learn presentations to help educate and share the importance of proper ergonomics, nutritional health, and sleep habits with employees in local small businesses of my community. THE BEST GIFT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED... is my health. THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE OF MY LIFE... is Michael Keaton. MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE TO... Spain and Southern Italy. MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWNERS ARE... stay focused, believe in your purpose, have gratitude for others, and allow yourself to make mistakes.

MY FAMILY IS... my wife Olivia, my son Emmit, my mother in-law Julie and my parents Melanie and George. THE BUSINESS LESSON I LEARNED THE HARD WAY IS... if you want to be successful, do not get discouraged. Fear and doubt will try to show up at your door a lot. But, being able to control your emotions and stay committed to the business plan despite the setbacks will help you overcome hurdles. ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IS... watching Chicago Cubs baseball. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE... a doctor. THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS... my son. He gave me a new perspective on what matters in life and made me want to appreciate the small things in each day. north32ndnews.com

WHAT IS PROMOTIONAL PRODUCT MARKETING? By Maria Rohde

y definition, promotional products or specialty advertising are useful items imprinted with an advertiserâ€™s name, logo, message or offer. Look around... thereâ€™s a 90% chance that you have in your possession a pen, calendar, coffee mug or some other promotional item that someone gave you to keep their name in the forefront of your mind. Promotional products have often been overlooked when businesses develop their marketing campaigns. While some think of them only as gadgets, gizmos, novelties, trinkets or giveaways; savvy marketers realize the impact promotions have in reaching a specific target audience. HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS ARE CRUCIAL FOR ANY BUSINESS 1. Low-Cost Effective Marketing If youâ€™ve ever gone to the bank and grabbed a pen from the cup or taken a drawstring bag home from a 5K, youâ€™ve held a promotional item in your hands. These company giveaways are part of our lives almost every day, even if we donâ€™t realize it. When we reach into a drawer to grab a pen or pack a tote bag for a day at the beach, we often use a free giveaway item. Donâ€™t underestimate their power! And who doesnâ€™t love getting something for free? 2. Instant Brand Recognition Brand recognition implies that the consumers can identify your company and its products or services immediately when they spot your logo. 3. Greater Exposure of Your Business Gift items are in use for most of the time and are in front of eyes. For example, the consumers will wear your gift of a trendy t-shirt for days or even years, and they will sip from your tea or coffee mug even more often. Such freebies are an excellent way for increasing your business exposure.

According to PPAI.org (Promotional Products Association International), 76.1% of participants could recall the name of the advertiser on a promotional product that they received in the past 12 months.

4. Works as Your Business Card Business cards introduce your company and its products to the consumers. Your promotional products also function in the same way, but with better results. Remember, the promotional giveaways also have your contact information just as business cards have. The gift items have your company logo, images and a slogan depicting your business message. The tangible branded product thus works as a useful business card that the consumers can use daily. 5. Customer Loyalty Repeat customers are the backbone of any business. However, this kind of relationship takes time and effort to develop. Promotional products can be extremely effective when forming these relationships. They show your customers that you value them by offering value in return.

Ultimately, the goal of any promotional marketing campaign is to raise awareness about a product or increase its appeal. Promotional marketing has the advantage of being valuable to both new customers and existing customers -- it offers new customers a reason to try a business for the first time, while building loyalty in existing customers.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH FATIGUE? By Dr. Jenna Dye Naturopathic Physician

re you struggling with fatigue? Is it hard to get out of bed in the morning? Do you feel the afternoon slump? Are you finding yourself craving sugars or caffeine to get you through the day? One of the most common symptoms I hear in my practice is a lack of energy. There are many factors that may contribute to fatigue, but it doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. As a Naturopathic Physician, my job is to focus on the root cause. This is where I start. ADRENAL SUPPORT: The adrenal glands are small glands that produce cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress. The more stress we have, the more cortisol is needed. After long periods of chronic stress, the response to stress gets weaker and cortisol levels can drop. This is called adrenal fatigue. We can have negative symptoms of both too much cortisol or not enough. It is important to know what your levels are in order to support the adrenal glands correctly. This can be obtained by a simple blood test. Treatment varies depending on the severity of adrenal fatigue, however, diet, lifestyle, stress reduction and supportive herbal therapies are great starting points. THYROID SUPPORT: The thyroid gland plays a huge role in how we feel. It directly relates to our energy level and metabolism. It also plays a role in our digestion and body temperature. Many factors can affect the thyroid including stress, nutrient deficiencies and even adrenal fatigue. It is important to have your thyroid screened. Often times a screening just includes a TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) but that is not the whole picture. I recommend having a full thyroid panel completed. Supportive therapies vary from proper thyroid medications to herbal and nutritional support. DIGESTION: Are you constipated? Do you have diarrhea? Cramping? Bloating? Our digestive system is the key player for north32ndnews.com

nutrient absorption and elimination of waste products. If there is a digestive disruption it will affect our overall well-being and lead to fatigue. It is important to find out the root cause of any digestive issues. Food sensitivities, imbalanced gut flora and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth are just few things to investigate. VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES: I recommend having Vitamin D levels checked, often times my patients have extremely low levels. A decreased level of Vitamin D can be associated with fatigue, lowered mood and lowered immunity. Vitamin B12 is another common deficiency. B12 is essential for many metabolic pathways and is important for metabolism, stress management and energy levels. It is important to have levels checked to ensure proper supplementation. CONSULT WITH YOUR NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN: When you are tired it can be difficult to focus or even know where to begin to improve your health. You may try to accept that being tired could be normal, but it is not normal. It is a symptom of an underlying cause. A Naturopathic Physician will work with you to find the root cause and get you feeling your best. Dr. Jenna Dye is a licensed Naturopathic Physician. Her role is to support the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. Together with her patients, this is achieved by identifying and removing barriers that may be impacting health while creating a healing environment. For more information visit www.drjennadye.com.

BUILDING A STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

erry Withers, principal at Campo Bello Elementary School, is a believer in the power of classroom furniture to build a studentcentered learning environment. Withers’ school is getting a physical facelift; it is being rebuilt from the ground up. “We are truly excited about the transformation of our school,” said Withers. Schools are organized into classrooms: nothing noteworthy here. However, if you think of the classroom as a performance environment, you open the pathway to evaluating how to best use the desks, chairs, and tables that inhabit every classroom. Often overlooked, the comfort of seating and the arrangement of students have much to offer the performance environment. In the good-old-days, seats were assigned by column and row. Not today. Seating arrangements are interchangeable and the desks adjustable with the introduction of the next generation of school furniture. In the modern classroom, teachers and students design and redesign the learning space, sometimes several times daily, to meet the students’ learning needs.

Arizona Furnishings, a Phoenix-based provider of school furniture, has revised the way in which classroom furniture influences the learning that takes place. Call it educational space design. From standing to sitting, teachers are now integrating “spaces” into the learning environment to inspire learner-centered education and to capture the synergy of collaborative learning. The next generation of “learniture” is changing the physical nature of the classroom and impacting the dynamics of the performance environment. “I know,” said Withers, “the students and parents are going to be excited about the changes to the school. Every room in our school is receiving new furniture that will enable teachers to engage students through collaborative work.” In today’s classroom, when the teacher asks the student to take his seat, he’ll ask “where?” Campo Bello Elementary School is one of many outstanding schools in the Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVSchools).

GOING TO THE LAKE!

TIPS FOR FUN AND SAFETY AT THE LAKE THIS SUMMER

By Jill “Mamabug” Frier

ummer has arrived in the Valley of the Sun, and the heat in the desert makes it the perfect season to head to one of our nearby lakes. Whether you love boating, fishing, swimming, water sports, or just enjoying the beauty of a sparkling water oasis in the desert, there are many large lakes near the Phoenix area for you to enjoy with your friends and family. Here is a list of some of the lakes in the area and tips to help you have a fun and safe trip while you’re there. LAKE PLEASANT Lake Pleasant Regional Park is a part of the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation system. Located just north of Phoenix off of highway 74 (Carefree Highway), Lake Pleasant is a favorite for local outdoor enthusiasts and fans of all water sports, with boating, fishing, camping, and trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. BARTLETT LAKE Bartlett Lake (or Reservoir) is located northeast of Phoenix, in the Tonto National Forest. Take Cave Creek Road east

of Carefree until you reach Bartlett Dam Road. Bartlett Reservoir is the second-largest lake in the Tonto National Forest and is a state record fishing spot, as well as a great place for camping and picnicking.

SAGUARO LAKE Saguaro Lake is east of Phoenix, off of the Beeline Highway (Highway 87) on the way to Payson. The lake is located in the Tonto National Forest, a short drive from Fountain Hills and Apache Junction and is a favorite for boating and fishing fans. CANYON LAKE Canyon Lake is east of Phoenix in the Superstition Wilderness, near Tortilla Flats just off of Highway 88 (also known as the Apache Trail). A part of the Tonto National Forest, Canyon Lake is a great favorite of water sports fans, hikers and campers. APACHE LAKE Apache Lake is a bit further east of Phoenix than Canyon Lake along Highway 88. Apache Lake is also located in the Tonto National Forest and

16 • June/July 2019 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

is known for its boating, trout fishing, and the stunning scenery and canyon walls that surround parts of the lake.

ROOSEVELT LAKE Continue east on Highway 88 until it intersects with Highway 188 and you will arrive at Roosevelt Lake, also in the Tonto National Forest. Roosevelt Lake is the largest of the lakes in the Sonoran Desert region surrounding Phoenix and hosts boating and camping facilities for visitors. It’s also the gateway to the Tonto National Monument, a well-preserved site of 700-800 year old cliff dwellings with a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding mountains. SAFETY ON THE LAKE Once you get to the lake, water safety is always a priority for people of all ages. Here are some important guidelines to keep in mind to help you make the most of your lake adventure and keep your family safe and sound. • Never Swim Alone. It’s always important to keep an eye on your kids any time they are in the water, but it’s also important for adults to make sure they stick together when swimming in the lake. It can be easy to lose track of all the swimmers while you’re on the lake so be sure to use the buddy system. Drowning is a silent killer, so keep each other in view - a few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. • Always Wear Life Jackets. The majority of lake drownings, somewhere around 80 percent, occur because a person was not wearing a life jacket. Flotation devices

ensure that should you be forced under the water, you will pop back up to the top and stay afloat. Even strong, skilled swimmers can’t stop an undertow from pulling them under a rock or underwater cliff, so don’t take the chance. Being safe means using a life vest, no matter your experience. • Don’t Drink the Water. Untreated freshwater often contains some pretty gruesome microorganisms that can easily make you sick. Don’t drink lake water and avoid getting it through your nose – you never know what kinds of bacteria are lurking in the cool depths, but a trip to the hospital for giardia, E. coli or something worse is a terrible way to find out. • Be Aware of Your Surroundings. Before you jump into a swimming hole, be sure you know if there are any rocks, tree stumps, or debris lurking underneath the water that can cause a serious injury. If you are swimming near a boat, be sure to stay away from the motor exhaust and carbon monoxide fumes. And be sure to check water surrounding a dock, as boats and docks are powered by electricity, which can cause an electric shock when you enter the water. Pay attention to the potential dangers around you and be alert and aware of your surroundings every time you enter the water. • Wear Sunscreen. Take a Hat. Drink Tons of Water. Every time you go outside in the desert, be sure to take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from dehydration and sun exposure. Summer is the perfect time to cool off and enjoy our almost year-round sunshine by the lake or pond. The scenic wilderness and beauty of our Sonoran Desert lakes is a great way to experience nature, have fun, and enjoy the many fun activities available at the lake. But be sure to plan ahead when you head for the lake and take steps to be safe and prevent accidents, illness or drowning while you splash around.

ARIZONA STATE PARKS & TRAILS PARTNERS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SAFETY TO

PROVIDE 10,000 PARKS PASSES TO FOSTER FAMILIES

oster families will soon have free access to explore Arizona’s state parks, thanks to a new partnership between the Department of Child Safety (DCS) and Arizona State Parks and Trails.

“Offering free admission to foster families is just a small way to recognize them for the loving care they provide to many of Arizona’s most vulnerable kids,” said Governor Ducey. “I thank Arizona State Parks and the Department of Child Safety for teaming up on this innovative partnership to bring families together.” Arizona State Parks and Trails is providing a free, annual pass for every licensed and kinship foster family in the state. “We’re thrilled to partner with the Department of Child Safety to help get families out to our parks,” said Parks Executive Director Bob Broscheid. “We want

to ensure that everyone has the chance to have an adventure in our parks – including the foster families who do so much.” DCS has started mailing the exclusive passes to roughly 7,000 foster families statewide. The day passes will allow foster families day-use admission to more than 30 state parks across Arizona and are good for one year from the date of first use.

“Every day our foster families make sacrifices to help protect and heal our most vulnerable children,” said DCS Director Greg McKay. “This is a profound expression of gratitude I know Arizona’s foster families will truly appreciate and enjoy. We are honored to team up with Parks and Trails to provide this gift.” Foster families can receive a new pass annually to continue exploring.

Thanks to the program provided by Civitan Foundation, children are enjoying free nutritious meals and snacks created by individuals with disabilities earning an income and job skill training.

“The Civitan Foundation is honored to be a part of such an important program for our underserved youth in the community,” said Dawn Trapp, CEO of Civitan Foundation, Inc. “Through the Summer Food Service Program, we are not only making a difference in our community, but we are also providing valuable career training and employment for people with disabilities.”

Other locations are: YMCA Lincoln in downtown Phoenix, Mentor Kids USA in Scottsdale and Mentor Kids USA at Scottsdale Bible Church, Thunderbird Arts Center, Arizona Recreation Center for the Handicapped (ARCH), Flerish Design + Resale in Phoenix and Phoenix Center for the Arts in Phoenix.

The SFSP is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child Nutrition Program was created to provide free meals to low-income children. It is administered by the Arizona Department of Education. In addition to the funding from the USDA, Civitan Foundation received a grant Phoenix Suns Charities to help expand and support its Hunger Relief and Transitional Employment program for 2019.

COVER STORY

BOOTLEGGERS

MODERN AMERICAN SMOKEHOUSE:

THE JOURNEY FROM COMPETITIVE BBQ, TO FAVORITE LOCAL JOINT By Molly Cerreta Smith

or those that know barbecue, it’s safe to say that it goes beyond the meat. Of course, excellent barbecue starts with selecting the best meat. From there, it requires a lot of effort, care, time and dedication to set great barbecue apart from simply good barbecue. But barbecue isn’t just about the food… It’s an experience that is enhanced by atmosphere, the company, and a good cocktail, too. And that’s where Bootleggers Modern American Smokehouse comes in. However, the restaurant’s beginnings developed long before the doors first opened in 2013. About a decade ago,

Kevin Slade, owner and managing partner of Bootleggers Modern American Smokehouse, located at 32nd Street and Shea Boulevard with a second location in Old Town Scottsdale, discovered the competitive barbecue scene through a friend and a local barbecue club. One casual barbecue gathering among friends led to the formation of the Major Woody’s competitive barbecue team, which ignited Slade’s love of barbecue — but it was more than that. As the team participated in various barbecue competitions, Slade says, “We really enjoyed the friendships that developed and the camaraderie that happened at these events.” A few years

into doing competitive barbecue, an opportunity for what is now the Phoenix location of Bootleggers became available. And this shifted Slade’s focus from competitive barbecue to barbecue as a business.

elevated approach to barbecue while providing locals with a neighborhood hangout to call their own. Slade adds, “We weren’t even sure if it would work out… but we figured even if it didn’t, we’d have a cool place to hang out.”

The location had been occupied by many restaurants, but most hyper locals will likely remember it as the old Dirty Drummer. That’s exactly how Slade, who has lived in the valley and the neighborhood for more than 30 years, remembers it. “It was always a great family spot for chicken wings; people would go there after little league games or high school sports events,” he recalls, adding that there is something really special and unique about the location. “It’s a great neighborhood spot that you can walk to or ride your beach cruiser and just hang out with friends.” Since living here, Slade has seen this established neighborhood redevelop to the point where the families that live here have grown to include children and grandchildren — and the area itself has experienced a regeneration. “The schools are good, the home values are high and it’s just a great central spot in the valley,” he adds of the North 32nd neighborhood.

Spoiler: It worked out. The concept for an upscale barbecue restaurant began with the focus on quality slow-smoked meats, which remains the restaurants focus to date. In fact, the restaurant is smoking meats 24 hours a day, seven days a week to present diners with barbecue done right. And Bootleggers’ menu was thoughtfully crafted with a concentration on consistency. Even “typical” menu items such as burgers are not so typical at Bootleggers. A lot of time and effort went into fine-tuning the meat blend for the restaurant’s burger patties, and every menu item — right down to the kids’ selections — was given that same care and attention.

Slade began thinking about a concept that could serve as the same thing for locals today as the Dirty Drummer did in the past — a family-friendly restaurant with a fun, inviting atmosphere in a great location. With his breadth of experience in barbecue under his belt through competition barbecue, he decided on Bootleggers Modern American Smokehouse. But he wanted it to be more than a typical barbecue restaurant with “red checkered table cloths.” Slade wanted to create an 20 • June/July 2019 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

Beyond traditional barbecue offerings (including barbecue pulled pork, St. Louis ribs, smoked beef brisket, and turkey breast), the menu’s eclectic and elevated selections include Pan Seared Scottish Salmon, Smoked Prime Rib, a variety of Smokehouse Tacos including Pork Belly, Salmon and Green Chile Pork, and more. Sandwiches include a wide range of offerings based upon that amped up burger patty, including the popular Bootlegger Burger with muenster cheese, whiskey onions, confit slab bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion, dijonnaise and house sauce on a pretzel bun, as well as beyond burger choices such as the Notorious Chicken Sandwich with a grilled or panko-fried chicken breast topped with smoked ham, white cheddar cheese, arugula, red onion, dijonnaise, and spiced aioli north32ndnews.com

COVER STORY on griddled Noble Bread, a local bread purveyor. There are plenty of local vendors represented on the Bootleggers menu including Hickman Deviled Eggs and Schreiner’s Sausage. The menu even features “Build Your Own” BLT and Mac and Cheese options with a variety of “add ons” for the BLTS from specialty bacons like jalapeno and cherry-smoked to “add ins” for the Mac and Cheese such as salmon, smoked pork belly or brisket, jalapeno peppers, multiple cheese options and more. Side dish selections extend beyond the usual suspects as well and include inspired options such as Grilled Cauliflower Steak with cheddar cheese and whiskey onions; Smoked Sweet Corn with Cholulalime butter; Smashed Red Goat Cheese Potatoes; and Sweet Potato Fries with maple aioli.

“

South” featuring house-infused blueberry bourbon, Bonal, lemon, demerara syrup and figgy pudding bitters; and the Flim Flam Sazerac made with Bulleit Rye, sugar, Peychaud’s Bitters, lemon twist and absinthe. The clever cocktail list and its creative ingredients may summon thoughts of the Prohibition days, and indeed Bootleggers has its own speakeasy of sorts hidden within the restaurant. The secret room has its own bar and private bathrooms; and while its always available to the public, it can also be rented out for private events. As a whole, the restaurant gives off a speakeasy vibe that is reminiscent of days gone by — and with good reason. Much of the restaurant’s wood details, including the ceiling beams and wood panels, as well as some of the windows, are from a 100-year-old barn that stood on some of Slade’s family property in Montana and was transported here to become part of the restaurant.

Slade wanted to create an elevated approach to BBQ while providing locals with a neighborhood hangout to call their own. “We weren’t even sure if it would work out… but we figured even if it didn’t, we’d have a cool place to hang out.” Slade adds. For those with a sweet tooth, Bootleggers decadent dessert menu does not disappoint. Sweet selections include individually baked Fresh Fruit Cobbler with Cinnamon Toast Crunch topping; the Jack Daniels Brownie, served warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce; and Fried Ice Cream served in a cinnamon-sugar coated tortilla bowl and topped with chocolate syrup. Of course, what restaurant could call themselves “Bootleggers” if they didn’t have a respectable cocktail list? Bootleggers raises the bar when it comes to its specialty libations with creative names including the “Dirty north32ndnews.com

Much like using original wood and windows in its construction, Bootleggers American Smokehouse has the magic touch when it comes to taking something old and making it new again. Within the same year of opening Bootleggers’ Phoenix location, Slade says the current Scottsdale location became available. “It had many of the same qualities that we like about the Shea location, with similar bones and similar opportunities,” he says. So just like that, he took the concept of Bootleggers, still in its infancy, and applied the same time, effort and focus on quality and consistency to their second location in Old Town.

”

While staying busy with the two locations, Slade says there is still room for expansion. He is currently looking to bring Bootleggers to the East Valley in Gilbert or Chandler. And while barbecue die-hards know that great barbecue is worth the drive, it’s especially nice when it’s right in the neighborhood. For more, visit www. bootleggerssmokehouse.com.

MARKET FOCUS & NORTH 32ND HOME TOUR By Allison Barnett Associate Broker, My Home Group

ecently, we celebrated the fourth anniversary of the North 32nd Home Tour. It was a fantastic day checking out neighborhood homes on a bus for the first time rather than caravanning. We are looking at ways to have a bus at future tours as it will help make navigating much easier. The caliber of homes on tour was outstanding. Several of the homes were previously on the market in the last few years, but the first time they were flipped and now have been tastefully finished by professional remodelers. Reinvesting in the neighborhood stands to continue to enhance our amazing community. Throughout the drive, we saw projects under construction, which will only

continue to improve our already great community whether it be landscaping projects or full on house projects.

We love seeing neighbors working on projects on their homes as it shows healthy investment in the neighborhood as well as pride in ownership. The market continues to keep moving in the neighborhood with well-priced homes. The luxury market continues to take a bit longer with a more limited buyer pool, but there is still activity in the upper market. Over the last five years, the evolution of our community has been tremendous. The real estate market continues to indicate that people want to live in our community with all of the wonderful new amenities. The commercial redevelopment has

HOME INSPECTION WOES: HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS By Scott Gaertner

“WHERE IS THAT HOME I SAW ON HGTV?!” Because of a shortage of homes on the market, the mindset seems to be, “I can't find the home I really want, so I’ll settle for this one. But it had better be perfect!” When sellers oppose what they feel are either petty requests or renegotiations during the inspection phase, we get higher cancellation rates…and that isn’t good for anyone. We see the effects of this frustration as the sellers’ agents. Two of our sellers recently had buyers that canceled their purchase on a seller's home during the inspection phase, only to come back again weeks later to make another offer on the home! I imagine that those buyers tried very hard not to come

back to us and accept our seller’s terms. And if there had been anything else available, I am confident they would have purchased it.

IMPROVE THE HOME INSPECTION PROCESS BEFORE SELLING There are things you and your agent can do to reduce the chances of this scenario happening to you when you sell. • Get a Pre-Listing Inspection. The first and easiest solution is to get a home inspection before you sell. It will likely cost you around $500, but it could be the best money you spend. It can save you thousands of dollars and millions of gray hairs. Buyers think everything costs thousands to repair when it can really be just pennies. Fix it first! In fact, we think this step is important enough that we have started paying for our sellers’ pre-inspection costs.

• Know they are going to find things wrong. Finding things wrong with the home is the inspector's job. They will find things. Even if you are the best home maintainer in the world, the inspector will find things that need repair. Expect it, accept it, and get over it. • Keep the emotions out of it. Even if you are selling your personal home, a home sale is still a business transaction. Try to keep it that way and don't let it get personal. And remember that this can be an emotional process for the buyer, too. • Hire a great agent. When you get the buyer’s inspection requests, a great agent will help you understand what is important and what isn't. They will pick up the phone and negotiate for you. Text messages are the norm and they are easily misconstrued. A great agent will also carefully shield you from potentially hurtful or incendiary comments that you should never see. We

consistently see agents that carelessly forward their client's emails containing remarks that can easily be interpreted as offensive. That should never happen. Your agent's job is to keep things positive and professional, even during the most contentious transactions. UPGRADED FEATURES BUYERS WANT We are studying some new trends in the market that help us understand what buyers really want to see in terms of upgraded home features. I was very surprised by the results – and after 30 years in the real estate business, I am not the easiest guy to surprise in this arena!

1. JAZZ UP THAT WATER BOWL It can be difficult to get your beloved pets to drink water, even when it’s scorching outside. As adorable as they are, they don’t understand the need to stay hydrated like we do! So, try adding an interesting twist to their water bowls to get them more excited about drinking. Here are some pet-friendly things you can add to their water: • Ice cubes • Chopped up carrots • Chopped up red peppers • Pieces of celery Also, make sure their water bowls are accessible -- don’t just assume your pets need one bowl. Put a few around the house and outside. 2. MAKE PUPSICLES People aren’t the only ones who enjoy a frozen treat on a hot summer day. While many toss an ice cube or two to their pawsome friends, it can be nice to provide them with a tastier version. You can blend ingredients together and pop them in any regular ice cube tray. Try these combinations: • 1 ripe banana (or swap with pineapple, strawberries, watermelon, etc) • 4 cups orange juice • 1/2 cup plain yogurt You can also fill up an ice cube tray with salt-free chicken broth for your pups. A frozen treat they’ll happily gobble down, you can feel good knowing they’re cooling down with something they enjoy. 3. NEVER KEEP PETS IN HOT CARS This may seem like common sense at this point, but year after year pets

senselessly lose their lives after being left unattended in cars. It’s so important to remember that pets don’t regulate their heat as humans do; they can’t sweat to cool themselves. Even if you’re going to be “just a minute”, consider taking your pet with you or leave them at home in the safety of cool air conditioning. 4. DON’T DRASTICALLY SHAVE THEIR COATS It can be a common misconception for pet owners to shave their furry friends to keep them cooler in the summer months. Makes sense, right? When humans get hot, we shed layers to keep cool - however, pet experts agree this is not the case with your cats and dogs. Dogs have developed their coats for a reason. It’s a barrier between the dog’s skin and the sun. The less heat and sun that reach the skin, the less hot the dog will actually be. 5. DON’T OVERWORK YOUR PUPS Unlike humans, pups don’t understand when to stop - no matter how hot it may be outside. Without this “off” switch, it’s up to you to determine when they’ve had enough. Watch out for signs like excessive panting and sluggishness. Pets are incredibly intelligent, but at the end of the day they are people pleasers! Pet owners should seek immediate veterinary attention if they notice any changes to their pet's skin, in particular if they notice ulcers or sores. Use the above tips as oppawtunities to avoid any unfortunate outcomes this summer - your pets will thank you! north32ndnews.com

ASK THE DANCE EXPERT

DANCE IS LIFE ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ADULTS TAKING DANCE CLASSES? A. Adult classes are a lot of fun and help keep an active body. With the many ranges of motions, you are able to improve your flexibility and reduce stiffness. You are also challenging your brain to remember something new, which is great for your memory. Dance also allows for expression of emotion and serves as a stress reliever… and who couldn’t use that?!

Q. CAN PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TAKE A CLASS? A. Absolutely! We encourage it because of the many benefits with auditory and visual senses. We find that it helps to build confidence because of the additional outlet to express emotion. The imagination and creativity are being encouraged through the art of dance. Q. IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR LEARNING DANCE? A. The beautiful thing about dance is that there are no age limits! The benefits of dance can be beneficial to all age groups from proper posture, staying fit and improving flexibility. There is always a learning curve but once you get past that, it can be so much fun.

Q. CAN MY CHILD SKIP LEARNING BALLET BEFORE TAKING OTHER DANCE CLASSES? A. It is not required to take ballet before taking any style of dance. Although we do recommend it, because it teaches fundamentals and technique which can be used in every style of dance. We promote avoiding injury and ballet helps that.

DIY CORNER

KARSTEN’S ACE HARDWARE: MONSOON READINESS

ach year in the Southwest Desert we experience “Monsoon” activity during the summer from June 15 through to September 30. Monsoon is a defined season in Arizona, typically consisting of increased humidity, wind storms, dust storms and periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms. The weather can dramatically change from area to area. When traveling in Arizona, pay attention to forecasts for the area in which you will be traveling. At Karsten’s Ace Hardware, we always suggest some planning ahead for the Monsoon Season.

Preparing for Arizona monsoon season involves different areas of readiness. Being aware of weather forecasts on TV or the internet, listening to weather reports on radio or a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / US Department of Commerce) weather radio. We suggest preparing a disaster supply kit in the event of severe weather conditions. The kit should contain essential items to sustain a family for

up to 3-4 days. Please keep in mind, services such as electric, gas and water may be interrupted. We recommend 3 gallons of clean drinking per person and for each pet. Stock up on food that requires no refrigeration or cooking. Contact your physician for any medications that may be needed. Check batteries in portable radios, fire detectors and flashlights, ensuring that you have additional batteries for these items as well. Establish a first aid kit to cover the needs of your family and pets, complete with bandages, antiseptics, and general over the counter medicine like aspirin, antihistamine, and ibuprofen. Make sure to have your cell phones charged and you may want to purchase a battery backup device for your cell phone in case services are interrupted. If rain or thunderstorms are forecasted and you must drive, check and replace any windshield wipers and also check that all lights are in working order. Your vehicle lights should be on, increase the distance between cars and reduce your speed with no sudden braking. Heavy rains can lead to flash

flooding; TURN AROUND DON’T DROWN. It only takes 6 inches of water to displace a person and only 18 inches of water to carry away a vehicle. Avoid areas that are flooded such as storm drains, washes, canyons, and streams. Home owners need to take some action during these times to protect their homes from flood waters and heavy rains. If at home during these storms, it is important to unplug electronics before the storm hits. Use a cordless phone or cell phone. Secure stored materials like sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting, tarps, water dams and lumber for protection from water. These supplies can be used to protect the home and to make quick repairs after these storms. Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent water pooling around the home. Remember the barn areas, as feed and hay may be damaged by the rain. Feed products should be protected with tarps and raised up off the ground. Loose feed should be placed in closed storage containers for protection. During Monsoon Season, dust storms can be unpredictable (also called haboobs). Have a bandana handy to cover your nose and mouth under these conditions. If driving, you should pull aside and stay alive. Place your vehicle in park, turn off your vehicle’s lights, keep your seat belt fastened and wait for the storm to pass.

It is always wise to have a communication plan during these events. Have phone numbers available for utility providers, first responders and doctors. Share this plan with family members, co-workers, church and school. If you live in a flood-prone area, have an evacuation plan. Monsoon awareness week is June 9 to June 14, so take this time to pre-

pare for Monsoons and Haboobs and remember - when in doubt wait it out. To help you with your readiness plan please see the Karsten’s Ace Shopping List.

o you wish you knew more about estate planning? Here are a few basics that help you understand what it is and what you might need in the way of an estate plan. WHO NEEDS ESTATE PLANNING? When people hear the words “estate planning,” many think it doesn’t apply to them, saying, “I don’t have an estate!” I think this comes about from a misconception about the word estate. It makes us think of the show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous where Robin Leach showed us massive estates and excess spending by the ultra-wealthy. But Merriam-Webster says an estate is “all of the things that a person owns.” That’s your property: your home, bank accounts, stocks, cars, and personal property. Big or small, most adults have an estate. If you don’t plan for it, don’t worry. The state has a plan for you, but it might not be what you want. Couples with young children should remember their estate includes their life insurance policies. It’s crucial to have a plan for how that money will be managed and spent for the children!

ESTATE PLANNING IS MORE THAN DISTRIBUTING WHAT YOU OWN AT YOUR DEATH While your estate plan provides for how your estate will be distributed at death, a good estate plan does much more. An estate planning attorney will ensure that you are protected if you become incapacitated – by creating a plan to assure your choice of an executor is able to manage your assets and your financial affairs if you can’t. Proper planning avoids the timeconsuming, expensive, and public probate, guardian and conservatorship proceedings that your loved ones must file to be appointed by the court to care for your assets.

ESTATE PLANNING IS MORE THAN WRITING A WILL As you may have surmised, a Will alone isn’t enough. A Will is only effective once you have passed. If you are incapacitated, your family will have to go to court and ask to be appointed your guardian or conservator. Failing to have a suitable plan will end up costly and time consuming for your family. THE REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST MAKES IT EASY ON YOUR LOVED ONES A Revocable Living Trust will avoid the need for a probate once you have passed and make it easier for your loved ones if you become incapacitated. Revocable Living Trusts are the best and most effective way to plan for incapacity and to distribute your assets. The Revocable Living Trust: • Is controlled by you until you are incapacitated or die. • Is readily accepted by financial institutions. • Provides detailed instructions and directions from you to your successor trustee. • Holds your successor trustee to a high fiduciary standard. • Allows your successor trustee to quickly and efficiently manage your assets if you can’t.

The Phoenician Resort:

PHOENIX’S CROWN JEWEL OF SUMMER LUXURY

By Molly Cerreta Smith

here’s no doubt that the valley reigns supreme when it comes to our breadth of summer staycation offerings for locals and visitors alike. And if that’s the case, The Phoenician Resort, with its recent remodel and endless summer activities and specials, is the crown jewel of summer staycations. While steeped in grandeur today, the Phoenician’s roots are quite modest. It started out as the Jokake Inn in the early 1900s, and today the Inn remains on the grounds, serving as a symbol of Old Southwest hospitality. The idea for luxury came knocking in mid 1980s with Charles Keating’s vision of building a multi-million dollar resort inspired by the “elegance and sophistication of Europe.” Each detail of the resort was considered to ensure that The Phoenician truly was, and remains today, the finest in resort lifestyle. In 1996, the property’s Canyon Suites were added, serving as the state’s only boutique hotel within a resort, featuring 60-plus rooms and ultraexclusive services such as a private infinity pool and a chauffeur-driven luxury car available. More recently, The Phoenician boasts the results of its latest renovation that completely transformed the entire property, giving it a more modern take on luxury. Renovations touched every aspect of the grounds, including all 585 guestrooms, common areas, pools, main lobby, retail corridor, golf course, a new spa, athletic club and restaurants. Opened in March of last year, The Phoenician Spa is a three-story complex boasting a rooftop pool and 24 treatment rooms including a couple’s VIP

suite as well as a Drybar, full-service nail salon, fitness center and personal training gym.

In addition to some of its signature restaurants such as J&G Steakhouse, the AAA Five Diamond resort also welcomed a variety of fresh dining concepts including Mowry and Cotton, a contemporary Modern American restaurant. And the all-new Phoenician Golf Course and Athletic Club boasts an 18-hole course redesigned by famed architect Phil Smith and a two full stories of fitness options including seven tennis courts, two basketball courts and a pickleball court as well as an activity/rec center, refreshment center, retail options and a “family room” with video games, shuffleboard and more. Some of the property’s more traditional offerings remain, including the ever-popular Afternoon Tea at the Phoenician. Exquisite noshing during this event includes three-courses — finger sandwiches, scones with traditional English offerings including lemon curd, Devonshire cream and strawberry preserves, and finally a decadent and delightful selection of pastries and desserts — complemented by guests’ selection of tea and champagne. Ladies of all ages don their finest (including an optional fascinator, perhaps?) for this classic afternoon tea, which was recently given an after-dark makeover with the launch of Champagne Saturdays. From 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each Saturday night, the event includes choice of champagne tiers along with an Artisanal Cheese Board Starter with domestic and imported cheeses, vine-ripened fruits, fig jam, smoked Arizona honey lavosh and crusty breads; Cold Canapes such as Ahi tuna and Thai chile crisp, macadamia-crusted goat cheese with raspberry conserve, and tomato,

mozzarella and basil crisp; and Warm Canapes like French onion boule, brandied peach and brie en croute, spinach and artichoke tortilla crisp, mini beef wellington with tarragon aioli, and coconut-breaded lobster tail with Thai sauce. The Dessert selections resemble those of Afternoon Tea and include Scottish shortbread, chocolate-dipped strawberries, dark chocolate truffles and fruit tartlets. With certainly no shortage of ways for guests to wine and dine their way through a summer staycation, The Phoenician also recently rolled out its seasonal “Summer Culinary Countdown,” with options such as a $45 three-course menu at J&G Steakhouse with a half-priced bottle of select wine; $35 menu for Afternoon Tea; and the “Bottle and Board” menu at Mowry & Cotton for just $25. The Phoenician pools are clearly a “hot spot” in which to chill out this summer, and the resort’s Fire and Ice theme ignites here with games, music, fire displays, performances, and complimentary offerings from The Phoenician’s Chill Squad. Truly a resort for the whole family, the resort’s Funician Kids Club offers a multitude of ways to entertain the little ones while Mom and Dad enjoy dinner at one of the property’s restaurants. The Night Owls program runs nightly from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and is complimentary for two children per family for guests as well as those paying a resort fee and dining on-property. Summer fun isn’t just for kids, though! Adults are encouraged to spa their stress away this summer with specials at The Phoenician Spa; and golfers can enjoy special rates on early tee times before 11:00 a.m. For details, summer staycation pricing and more, visit www.thephoenician.com.

SAFETY

TIPS TO KEEP KIDS SAFE FROM HOT CAR DEATHS

ifty-two children died in hot cars nationwide in 2018 of pediatric vehicular heatstroke — more than any other year on record in the past 20 years. Experts say that these tragic deaths are entirely preventable.

org, there are three primary circumstances resulting in deaths of children in hot cars. Knowing what they are can help you avoid them.

“Even one child dying in a hot car is too many,” says Amy Artuso, senior program manager of advocacy at the National Safety Council (NSC), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes, in communities and on the road. “The good news is that parents and caregivers can act immediately to end these preventable deaths.” June is National Safety Month and an excellent opportunity to review the facts and learn more about keeping kids safe. UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES According to NSC and noheatstroke.

1. A caregiver forgetting a child in a vehicle: Leaving a child behind in a parked vehicle is an often-overlooked consequence of distracted driving. NSC advises parents and caregivers to avoid distractions -- such as cell phone use -- when driving and parking, in order to reduce the risk of forgetting a child in the car. A routine that helps you remember to check for your child in the backseat can help, too. Place a purse, briefcase or even a left shoe in the backseat to force you to take one last look before walking away. 2. The child gaining access to the vehicle: Keep car doors locked so children cannot gain access, and teach them that cars are not play areas. Children should never be able to access a vehicle on their own.

3. Someone knowingly leaving a child in the vehicle: There is no safe amount of time to leave a child in a vehicle, even if you are just running a quick errand. Even on mild or cloudy days, temperatures inside vehicles can reach life-threatening levels. Leaving windows slightly open doesn’t help. Children should never be left unattended in a vehicle.

EDUCATE YOURSELF Acquaint yourself and anyone who cares for your child with free resources providing vital information about vehicular heatstroke. For example, NSC recently released “Children in Hot Cars,” an online training course providing information about why cars heat up so quickly, why children in particular can succumb to increasing temperatures in cars, and what parents, caregivers and others can do to prevent these needless deaths. The course is interactive, free and can be completed in 15 minutes or less, with a certificate of completion

available at the end. It can be found at nsc.org/hotcars. For more information about pediatric vehicular heatstroke, visit noheatstroke.org. Hot car deaths have claimed the lives of children in almost all states in the U.S. However, these deaths are preventable. Learn more about the causes to help keep your family and loved ones safe.

CHEW ON THIS YOUR GUIDE TO LOCAL DINING

WOOD FIRED PIZZERIA GELATO SPOT By Jamie Killin

he Gelato Spot concept has expanded its beloved repertoire of restaurants with Wood Fired Pizzeria Gelato Spot on 32nd St. and Shea — putting the spotlight on its delicious food while still offering the authentic Italian gelato that’s become a favorite of Valley foodies. The diverse menu includes Italian favorites such as pastas and pizzas alongside lighter, healthy options including salads and sandwiches. Each menu item is either made in-house or imported from Italy to maintain its authentic North Italian flavor. Starters include popular Italian-inspired dishes like bruschetta, meat and cheese boards and meatballs. The salads, like the roasted veggie kale salad and the focaccia chicken Caesar, not only provide a healthier option, but they also incorporate the restaurants’ signature flavors with their house made dressings and side of focaccia bread. Additionally, Wood Fired Pizzeria Gelato Spot has a panini option for nearly everyone, with options ranging from the veggie with eggplant, onion, zucchini and fresh mozzarella to the meatball loaded with meatballs, traditional marinara sauce, provolone cheese and topped with oregano. Those looking for a hearty, classic Italian meal can enjoy one of the five pasta dishes which include the classic spaghetti and meatballs as well as linguine vongole. Plus, diners can choose between a small lunchtime or large dinner-sized portion. Last but not least on the lunch and dinner menu is pizza, which guests can order in the 10” lunch size until 5 p.m. or opt for the 12” dinner-sized pie any time of day. The 11 options include classic pizzas like the margherita and cheese as well as one-of-a-kind pies north32ndnews.com

like the honey basil with fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, basil, parmesan and honey drizzle. Even gluten intolerant guests can enjoy by ordering any 12” pizza with gluten-free dough.

While anyone could fill up on the delicious food options, a trip to The Gelato Spot isn’t complete without at least one scoop of the decadent Italian gelatos. These aren’t your average Americanized gelatos either — to perfect the recipe, The Gelato Spot team traveled to North Italy to meet with gelato masters who have been perfecting their gelato for generations, ensuring that they brought the finest, most authentic gelato back to the United States. The restaurant offers nearly 40 flavors as well as gelato shakes, root beer floats and affogato, which is gelato with espresso. The gelato is completely customizable, coming in regular and vegan flavors such as chai tea, stracciatella, Captain Crunch, bubble gum, chocolate and pineapple. Toppings include chocolate chips, bubblegum, almonds and sprinkles, to name a few. For those with a sweet tooth that aren’t up for the gelato, there’s also tiramisu, Italian wedding cookies, a brownie sundae and more. In addition to the impressive menu items, the restaurant offers a variety of coffee drinks, several local and specialty beers, a selection of wines, and a variety of cocktails including palomas, daiquiris and the classic mule. Every weekday from 3 to 6 p.m. diners can enjoy happy hour prices on select pizzas, salads, half portions of pastas, appetizers and several drink options including beers, house wines and six of its most popular cocktails. Wood Fired Pizzeria Gelato Spot is located at 10608 N 32nd St in Phoenix. For more information, visit gelatospot. com.

here are many words you could use to describe what we do, but one is more important to us than any other: Authentic. It all started with gelato, which meant going straight to the original source. We went to Northern Italy and met with gelato masters who had been developing their craft for generations, some for more than 200 years. Our wood fired pizza in Old Town Scottsdale opened in 2008 and our location in the ‘Sheaborhood’ in 2018. We brought Naple Napolitano style thin crust pizza together with our traditional made Italian gelato. Using Caputo Italian flour and fresh mozzarella cheese so you can experience the pizza of Naples in Italy.

CHARITY

FEATURED CHARITY OF THE MONTH: JEWISH FAMILY & CHILDREN’S SERVICE By Alison Bailin Batz

ounded in 1935, Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that strengthens the community by providing behavioral health, healthcare and social services to children, families and adults of all ages, in accordance with a Jewish value system that cares for all humanity. The organization has been making headlines all year long, most notably when it underwent its reaccreditation process through the Council on Accreditation, which partners with human service organizations worldwide to improve service delivery outcomes by developing, applying, and promoting rigorous standards. The result: JFCS earned the highest level of accreditation available. In addition, JFCS was also honored for the seventh year with the Excellence in Giving Transparency Certificate, awarded to nonprofits that reveal challenges and successes they have experienced in reaching their goals, promoting a community that holds themselves to a higher standard of openness and accountability. JFCS was honored to earn its first-ever Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the world’s largest nonprofit database this past spring.

A chief reason for all the headline-making honors is the sheer number of quality programs offered through the organization on a daily basis. Some of the programs included are: INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE JFCS offers an integrated healthcare program where clients are treated by a collaborative team of therapists, clinicians, medical doctors, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals. The coordinated care efforts of this multidisciplinary team treat every aspect of a client’s well-being. TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD In 2009, the Department of Child Safety reached out to JFCS in an effort to help children in foster care and group homes as they approached adulthood. In response, JFCS developed Transition to Adulthood, which helps young adults with career planning, college enrollment, housing, daily living skills, finance management and behavioral health issues.

REAL WORLD JOB DEVELOPMENT Founded in 2006, this program helps young adults 16 to 24 learn how to apply their knowledge and skills to find gainful employment. Participants in this program have gone on to find work in schools, hospitals, veterinary clinics, small businesses, and more. Many foster care youth enrolled in this program manage to achieve their educational and/ or employment goals. COUNSELING & BEHAVIORAL HEALTH JFCS employs a staff of therapists, clinicians, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners who serve more than 12,000 people across the Valley every year with the goal of helping people of all ages learn how to more effectively cope with life’s difficult circumstances. ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE Substance abuse among young teens is not uncommon and, just like any adult, recovering from it requires support. JFCS has developed an innovative treatment plan for teens age 12-17 and their families to help during this difficult time. SHELTER WITHOUT WALLS The Shelter Without Walls domestic violence program addresses the unmet needs of Maricopa County survivors of domestic violence and their children, who are residing outside of a shelter setting, and are struggling to attain and/or maintain safety and independence, whether or not still living with their abuser. OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES JFCS operates four outpatient clinics in Maricopa County. Services include individual, group and family therapy to address a number of mental health and substance use disorder issues. Clinicians are trained in trauma-informed approaches, motivational interviewing, cognitive therapies and person-centered therapeutic approaches that are solution focused. MEMORY CAFÉ Memory Café is a meeting place for those with changes in their thinking or memory, mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder, along with their care partners. Meetings are held at the same location each month and will include meaningful and fun activities to engage the participants and stimulate their minds and bodies.
