What You Need To Prove in Court If you have filed or are defending a lawsuit alleging breach of contract, the first thing you will need to bring with you to court is a copy of the contract. Some oral contracts are enforceable, but if the entire agreement was done verbally, expect at least some level of disagreement on what the terms of the agreement were. For example, the defendant may claim that no agreement ever existed. Assuming that the plaintiff can prove that a contract existed, the next thing for the court to determine is whether one or both sides violated the contract in some way. This will likely require the testimony of witnesses. This means that the outcome of your case can depend on whether others show up. A written statement, even if it is notarized, is not the same as testimony, and in almost every case, it will be considered to be inadmissible hearsay. That means that the judge cannot consider it. If the plaintiff proves that there was a contract and that the defendant violated its terms, the plaintiff must also prove damages, for example, increased cost of the replacement contractor. The goal is to put the aggrieved party in the same position he would have been in had the contract been performed. If you are going to court in connection with a lawsuit and need to know the law, a good place to start is to read the civil jury instructions for the topic areas you need. They are available at the State Bar of Arizona’s web page at azbar.org/sectionsandcommittees/committees/civiljuryinstructions.

cost, e.g., a higher bid, of the replacement subcontractor. The terms of any acceptance must be identical to the offer; otherwise, it’s actually a counteroffer and is not an acceptance. In this area, there are special rules for credit cards. A consumer’s acceptance of a credit card can be established by either the cardholder’s written or electronic signature or by using or allowing someone to use the card (A.R.S. 44-7802). We spent a great deal of time in law school on concepts concerning the adequacy consideration. It is basically a bargainedfor detriment. However, in Arizona, if the contract is in writing, then consideration is presumed to exist (A.R.S. 44-121). Furthermore, in Arizona, as in most states, some contracts bear such importance that they must be in writing to be enforceable. As a matter of public policy, the statute of frauds prohibits certain types of cases from being heard in any court unless there is a written agreement (A.R.S. 44-101). These include a promise to pay someone else’s debt and an agreement that cannot be completed within a year, e.g., an 18-month lease or an 18-month loan. Every contract involves at least one enforceable promise. Although it may seem odd to some that our legal system is concerned about agreements between private parties, there was once a belief that the failure to fulfill obligations under a contract was offensive, even immoral. While the philosophical foundations for contract law may be debatable, my hope for everyone is that any contract that you enter into will be as hassle free as possible.

AH, YES, it’s the most ’merican of ’merican holidays—the Fourth of July (and the 5th of July, and the 6th, 7th, and 8th—until the fireworks run out). For 11 months out of the year, we work tirelessly as a nation to make sure nothing blows up. Then Independence Day rolls around, and we blow everything up. Ain’t that America! Here in Maricopa County, it’s legal to purchase and use fireworks, but there are certain restrictions you should be aware of. By no means am I advocating the use of fireworks (nor am I opposing it, for that matter). But if you do choose to light up the night, I recommend that you stay safe and legal. Here are a few guidelines about our local fireworks laws, including critical facts published by azcentral.com. When did fireworks become legal? Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1158 back in 2014 that effectively legalized certain types of fireworks in Maricopa County and times when they may be set off.

Which ones may be used? Ground spinners, sparkling wheel devices, and rocket-shaped fountains. As kids, we used to light those spinners and kick ’em into the swimming pool—probably not a safe method of deployment. File that one away right next to lawn darts and rear-facing backseats in the family station wagon. Which fireworks are illegal? Anything with the ability to detonate in the air. Skyrockets, bottle rockets, firecrackers, and Roman candles are not permitted. Basically, if you used it as a missile or a hand grenade when you were playing army as a kid, it’s not allowed. When can fireworks be purchased? There are two windows of opportunity to get your fireworks here in Arizona: Independence Day and New ‑Year’s. Specifically, it’s May 20–July 6 and December 23–January 3. If you can’t remember the dates, the endcap displays at Wal-Mart will remind you when it’s time to stock up.

BBQ SAFETY For all you grill masters out there, remember that there are many things that can burn aside from those top sirloins you’re murdering. Examples include your house and yourself. Whether you cook with charcoal or gas, there’s a safe way to host a cookout. If you’re a Kingsford type of guy, the number-one safety tip involves lighter fluid. Never, never add lighter fluid to a fire. And if you cook with gas or propane, check your fuel hoses for leaks by applying a light solution of soap and water. Turn on the gas or propane. If you spot any bubbles, you might have a leak. Stop the cookout and call a plumber to have the grill serviced. Finally, never move a grill while it contains an active flame—it’s incredibly dangerous.

4. Get a set of ice-pop makers, and pour lemonade or iced tea in for a very refreshing, low-calorie cool-down treat. 5. Practice yoga or meditation every day. I recently bought a gymnastic mat (the thick kind) to place on the pool deck. Breathe, stretch, relax, and renew! 6. Be sure to get a good night’s sleep. In order to have deep, restorative sleep, our body temperature needs to lower. Try valerian root, which helps the body naturally cool off so you can sleep better. Avoid caffeine later in the day, and stop using electronics at least an hour before the lights go out. 7. Chew on some ice. Besides cooling you off, your body will extend a little extra effort to melt them. So as you chill, you can burn a few more calories! I love multitasking. 8. Head to the river or Lake Pleasant. Get the entire family out floating, fishing, wading, swimming, or whatever. Don’t forget Fido! 9. Eat lots of garlic, which repels mosquitoes. Apply Avon’s Skin So Soft, and spray your yard regularly. When those buggers do bite, use topical Benadryl to stop the itch. 10. Go to the movies. Theaters cool to near ice-age temperatures and provide a cool outing. Summer has some super-cool movies coming out, too! Before we know it, summer will be but a mere memory, so enjoy every moment! I’ll see you at the movies!

Chronically Overwhelmed? How to laser-focus when everything’s a priority at once. By Matthew Toren

YOUR MANAGEMENT report is due—now. A customer wants a spontaneous meeting—today—to discuss a recurring issue. Your boss accosts you in the hallway to remind you that the expense report from your trip overseas is overdue. And those 15 minutes a day you committed to spending on social media are adding up fast. How do you focus on anything in a manic world where everyone expects results and responses right now? Do you often feel as though the file cabinet in your brain’s got all the drawers open at once? You’re not alone. In today’s rapid-paced, complex world, the distractions are plenty, and you can add to that a business climate in which everyone’s tasked with doing more work with less time. If you feel chronically overwhelmed, it’s time to practice just a few simple steps to achieving razor-sharp focus. Try the following steps for starters:

$750,000 Challenge Grant: Great Hope for New a Campus! Anonymous donor supports NVCA by encouraging others to donate.

orth Valley Christian Academy recently received a threeyear $750,000 challenge grant from an anonymous foundation. The grant will match dollar-for-dollar all donations from supporters who have not previously contributed to NVCA. NVCA, an independent Christian school located in Anthem, recently kicked off their $5.5 million capital campaign, Steps of Faith, to raise funds for the acquisition of land to build a new school just south of Anthem on North 27th Drive. The school will encompass preschool through high school. “We are incredibly excited and exceptionally blessed to have supporters who have stepped up in the early phase of our campaign to help us achieve our first milestone in purchasing the land for building our new campus in the next several years,” says Nate Kretzmann, North Valley Christian Academy’s executive director. “Having a major foundation that believes in our mission to offer a quality Christian education to more families in the North Valley is a major testament to our vision and a springboard to advancing this project forward. Their generosity of support makes possible a state-ofthe art campus to provide an unparalleled Christian educa-

tion experience. We are deeply grateful for our anonymous donor to invest in our school in a way that encourages others to deepen their faith and support of NVCA.” NVCA is part of a large district that serves approximately 121,700 preschool-through-12th-grade students in over 2,000 Lutheran schools across the nation and three international schools in Asia. It is the only school in Arizona with accreditations from AdvancEd-North Central Association, National Lutheran School Association, and the Association of Christian Schools International. It is ranked number one in Ranking Arizona Magazine for private schools under 500 students. “While we teach from a Biblical worldview, NVCA is open and welcomes students regardless of their religious affiliations,” Nate says. Donations to the Steps of Faith Capital Campaign can be made online at northvalleyca.org/support-nvca/capital -campaign-fund.

piece to coordinate with the décor to add an additional pop of color to the table. Once the guests entered, it was time for the party to begin. I created a drink and dessert area where guests could treat themselves before or after they took their

tour of the home. For drinks, I created a mock mimosa bar that consisted of three types of juices—orange, strawberry, and mango banana—and fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The mimosa bar was a blast—guests made their own

alcohol-free drinks by selecting and pouring their favorite juice, topping it with sparkling cider, and adding their fruit of choice. The dessert area displayed a variety of treats such as macarons (my favorite was the salted caramel), vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, popcorn, and cookies. Details are important—I added some fun coordinating décor items such as cupcake toppers and popcorn boxes to make the display stand out. The great thing about this setup is that it will work for almost any small social gathering. So don’t worry if you’re not a real estate agent! This arrangement works great for a birthday party, a house-warming party, and any little summer celebration you think of having!

the slide and hit their head. I had to make sure everyone got out of the pool while they backboarded the child and called EMS.” Taylor added that, thankfully, the child was okay, no doubt in large part because of the quick actions of the ACC lifeguard staff. “We have 12 guards, one lead lifeguard, and a pool manager on duty at all times. I have 14 on staff for every shift, and we have two five-hour shifts a day,” Desiree says. To keep the lifeguards optimally alert and focused, they rotate between three positions every 20 minutes before a 20-minute break in the guardhouse. To ensure high standards, the ACC’s lifeguard certification company (SAI) audits the center’s guards every year, usually twice a summer. The center’s lifeguards are also required to do weekly in-service training. “When the SAI comes, they do video surveillance of the guards, and they run drills that are recorded. It’s intense,” Desiree says. “We’re always testing them to keep them on their toes at all times.” Says Taylor of the skills she’s learned for her job as a lifeguard, “I think they’re good life skills to know, and I think that being a lifeguard and having lifeguards in the community also benefits the community as a whole by having a young group of people know how to do CPR and basic first aid.” Trey echoes that sentiment: “The skills we have are definitely not things we leave at work!”

Want to become an ACC Lifeguard? For those interested in becoming a lifeguard for the 2016 season, Desiree Valdivia says to keep an eye out for the StarGuard Lifeguard Classes, which start in January. The 36hour training program is open to teens 15 and older, and those who pass both physical and written tests will earn lifeguard certification. Participants must be 16 years old by the end of the course. Although passing the

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the skin of teens may be especially susceptible to skin cancer because their cells are dividing and changing more rapidly than those of adults. With that in mind, ACC requires its lifeguards, a majority of whom are teens, to fill out a daily sunscreen log on the days they work. They’re required to put sunscreen on at least three times during a shift. 44 || 85086MAGAZINE.com || JULY 2015

class is not a guarantee of employment, the ACC anticipates hiring about 60 lifeguards for the 2016 summer season, which runs 10 weeks. Those interested in attending the class must be able to pass a pre-course test on the first day, which requires the demonstration of a variety of skills. Pay starts out at $9 an hour.

Step 1 Create an even surface by starting with foundation that’s the color of your skin. Doing so will allow you to build upon what you contour using lighter and darker shades. Contouring your face without first applying foundation is more difficult, since skin tends to be uneven in color. Your face could end up looking patchy instead of smooth and contoured.

Blend your makeup well

• Highlight the bridge of your nose to brighten the face. Avoid the tip of the nose. • Contour (darker shade) each side of the nose, which gives a narrowed look. If you already have a long slender nose, then just highlight the bridge, using a light shade. • Contour (dark) the tip of the nose in a V shape to shorten it.

Step 2 Choose a foundation a few shades darker than your skin. The darker tone will be for minimizing or contouring. Tip: Don’t go darker than two shades above your normal skin tone or your makeup won’t look natural.

Step 3 (This is important!) Get a good blending brush. Since your face will be wearing several different shades, it’s important to get good blending tools that work best for you. If the different colors aren’t well blended, your makeup will look unnatural. You want a bushy foundation brush or blending brush. Stay away from small short bristles, as they will drag too much. Find which size works best for you. Natural bristles tend to leave the softestlooking finish. Using a sponge to dab and blend is another great tool.

• Contour under the jawline to add definition and slim the face. • Contour around the hairline to warm the face and shorten the forehead.

Use your fingers or the foundation brush to blend the colors for a natural finish. Take care not to spread the colors around too much; you want them to stay in the general area where you placed them. Make sure the edges are blended well so that there are no sharp divisions between the lighter and darker foundations. Be careful to blend along the edges of your jaw; otherwise, it’ll look like you’re wearing a mask. Don’t attempt to make yourself look radically different—the goal of makeup is to complement your natural beauty, not give you a different face! Makeup isn’t about rules—it’s about experimenting and having fun with a look that brings out the best in your features.

• Highlight between the brows where a furrow may appear. • Highlight under the brow to brighten and lift the eye. • Highlight the high point of the cheekbone to define the cheek.

Step 4

• Contour under the cheekbone to create definition of your bone structure.

Select a translucent powder to be applied last. It’s not rocket science—select the tips that best suit your face.

• Highlight creases that create shadowing, such as the nasal fold area.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! This contouring guide is basic, but it gives you a general idea what should be considered. The concept is simple— if you want to highlight an area or draw attention to it, apply a lighter shade. If you want to hide or minimize an area or feature, apply a darker shade to the area.
