Correct that Credit

Dear Doreen, You short sold our home two years ago. We’ve been renting since then and thought, by now, we could qualify for another home loan. But our lender guy said our credit scores are not quite where they need to be. He suggested we use their credit repair person. I know nothing about the best way to proceed, but shouldn’t I use a separate company for credit repair? There seems like a multitude of them. What should I do? —Credit Crazed Dear Credit Crazed, You have to find a company that has a strategy that works for you. If you only have a little ways to go to reach your desired score, then consider a company that specializes in credit restoration using a pre-litigation approach. They use an initial threat of legal action against the creditor or creditors. The credit restoration company should go to the creditor first instead of simply submitting the standard letter to the credit reporting agencies. You may consider contacting an attorney first. They might get good results simply by sending a letter, and you can avoid using a credit repair company. I’m sure you’ll work it out and be in a new home soon. Call us for help, anytime. —Doreen

The results are in: According to a statewide assessment, more students that attended prekindergarten at KinderCa KinderCare tested fully ready for kindergarten than their non-KinderCare classmates.* pe A higher percentage of KinderCare children ranked as top performers in Language/Literacy (14% more), Mathematical Thinking (18% more), and Scientific Thinking (11% more). With a curriculum that targets what children need to succeed in school and beyond, you’ll see how it all adds up to one amazing child — yours. A 2010 Johns Hopkins University study indicated kindergarteners who were “fully ready” for school showed higher achievement on the 3rd grade Maryland School Assessment (MSA).

*Percentages reflect children who attended a full-time prekindergarten program at KinderCare learning centers for more than a year who went to kindergarten in Maryland. More children attending KinderCare learning centers in Maryland tested fully ready than their non-KinderCare classmates. Children who attended KinderCare learning centers less than full-time and less than a year still tested fully ready at a higher rate than their non-KinderCare classmates in Maryland.

TALK ABOUT IT

Intimacy After Breast Cancer T he medical community does much to prepare a patient for the treatment of breast cancer, but often, little attention is paid to the emotional and psychological effects of treatment. Medicine, hair loss, fatigue, anxiety, depression can detract from a woman’s sense of self-confidence and sexual identity. John C. Lincoln’s Breast Health and Research Center is hosting an informal discussion with gynecologist Eugenie Anderson, M.D., clinical psychologist Catherine Lindstrom, Ph.D., and patient advocate and cancer survivor Mindy Carpenter. The informal discussion will revolve around struggles related to sexuality that women face after diagnosis and treatment, and explore solutions. Questions will be taken throughout the evening. io

Tuba Players—and Everyone Else—Wanted

ilitary personnel, fluttering flags, choreographed community groups and marching bands. Think “Veteran’s Parade,” and you’ll likely envision these things. But marching bands are tough to come by. So grab your gang and your tuba and start practicing because this year’s Daisy Mountain Veteran’s Parade needs you. You don’t play the tuba. You don’t even play the cymbals. That’s OK. This parade is for everyone. The DMV needs volunteers to help ensure this ninth annual parade is the best yet. Last year, the parade was threatened to the brink of cancellation by a lack of funds, but a last push brought an outpouring of heart-warming support from every corner of the community. Nearly 100 units and more than 2,000 people participated in the 2012 parade. More are expected this year, making this one of the largest patriotic events in the state. This year’s event pays special homage to those who served in the Korean War. Contact the Daisy Mountain Vets now to become a valuable part of one of the area’s most significant events and to honor the men and women who serve our country. io

9th Annual Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013

Sign up for your business or community group to walk in the parade. Volunteer to help organize and run the parade. Many people needed.

SPENDING

Enhancement dollars spent sometimes too carefully, other times, impulsively.

Anthem is known for its luxurious amenities, but surveys found residents wanted more from the amphitheater.

or 14 years, Anthem Council has been taking one quarter of one percent of the sale price of every Anthem home, collecting some $4.5 million when the fund reached its peak in 2012. To date, it has spent roughly $170,000 from the fund on in-depth studies to determine how best to spend the money. Then, in a snap decision, it decided to raid the fund of $3.8 million to buy and renovate the building it occupies at 3701 W. Anthem Way. The first study was commissioned in 2008 with the enhancement fund at about $2 million. The communitywide, months-long study took resident feedback into careful consideration with a statistically significant phone poll, as well as several town meetings and electronic feedback. The result was the CIMP (Capital Improvement Master Plan) Report identifying, among other things, the need for a second community center that would incorporate a performing arts center and office space for the community associations.

A Murky Master Plan

As soon as the report was presented, though, the economy spiraled and enhancement priorities shifted. The Swaback report, commissioned two years after the CIMP, attempted to bring enhancement priorities into focus. Swaback researched new sites as well as existing buildings that could become the multi-purpose building needed to alleviate crowding at the community center and to provide a civic hub for residents and businesses in addition to providing association

Anthem Area’s Favorite Source of Information.

2008

Council spends about $119,000 on the Capital Investment Master Plan to determine how to spend Anthem’s enhancement fund. The clearly identified priority was an additional community and arts center incorporating a 250-foot black box theater and rooms for fitness classes, senior games and nonprofit use, as well as offices for the HOA administration. The real estate market collapses almost simultaneously, throwing the country into recession.

2010

Council spends approximately $50,000 on a follow-up report by Swaback Partners to narrow the needs identified in the CIMP report to possible community pool, performing arts center or main-street style commercial area. (The charge also included finding space to meet ACC’s cramped needs.)

office space. The report identified other future needs, including an improved amphitheater, sports fields and a competition swimming pool.

An Impulsive Withdrawal

But, after years of research and countless meetings, it only took the ACC one meeting in June 2012 to propose and authorize the first major enhancement fund expenditure.* In just a few minutes, council approved a $3.8-million cash withdrawal to purchase and renovate the building that would house its new headquarters and provide some community space—but would not satisfy the first need identified in the original CIMP report. The decision to drain the fund for the building purchase was made without any prior notice to property owners. In prior meetings, in fact, Council boasted that its plan to finance the building purchase would ensure minimal effect on the enhancement fund balance. In January, as if to divert community focus from the raiding of the fund, Council unveiled a plethora of enhancement projects

borne of the Swaback report and identified as priorities by ACC’s Community Planning and Development Committee. Rough sketches were provided for: • A west side park at Opportunity Way • Improvements to Liberty Bell Park • An amphitheater conversion to allow broader use of the facility • A dog park • Expansion of the community center • An outdoor games area

These proposals were culled from a larger group based on the notion they could be completed within about five years. It didn’t take long for Council to weed-out the outdoor games project and the dog park location near the lake. While design and financials have not been approved for the Council has spent $150,000 on fill for a west side park, but no formal design has been approved.

west side park (or for any other proposal), Council agreed to spend $150,000 of the enhancement fund on fill for the Opportunity Way park site. Between the building and the west side park, the enhancement fund balance will drop from

$3.1 million at the start of 2013, to about $900,000 by the end of 2013, according to Council. In another cart-beforethe-horse move, Council agreed to spend nearly $12,000 on patio doors for the civic building renovation, but has not yet approved or even proposed the construction of a patio. By 2016, the enhancement fund balance is estimated to drop to $95,000 [see chart], less than the cost of dirt for the west side park.

What happened to the amphitheater?

Other than some temporary safety lighting for the Music in May series, there has been little discussion about the project deemed highly desirable by the community according to the Swaback Report. ACC eventually prioritized the projects: 1. Completion of Opportunity Way Park (without lighting), 2. Liberty Bell Park improvements 3. Amphitheater lighting improvements; a safety necessity. 4. The outdoor games area project including

aisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital suddenly finds itself a makeshift cat hostel. Through its partnership with Anthem Pets (and its admirable humanitarian spirit), the hospital now features five felines wandering about. Stop by the hospital to check out the four kittens, about 4 months old, and adult cat. The adult, Daisy, is working with only three legs but has fully recovered. “She was very fearful of everything at first but now loves

attention and will bug me to pet her every time I sit down at my computer,” said Dr. Kirstin Young. Daisy must stay indoors and in a dog-free home. All are neutered and ready for adoption. “Rescued cats tend to be better in different situations because they are exposed to dogs, cats, kids, and sometimes chaos, while at the clinic. They tend to have more social personalities and be more easy-going,” said Dr. Young. Not ready? More kittens are due in shortly, so check back. io

ometimes when you get out and drive away from the Anthem area, you can find a place nearby that is really, really special窶不pecial for the services provided and special for the kind people you find there. Such a place is the Phoenix Herpetological Society in North Scottsdale where a mostly volunteer group of reptile lovers operates a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and conservation of rescued reptiles.

| THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2013

It was 2001 when three lifelong enthusiasts of reptiles, Russ Johnson, Daniel Marchand and Debbie Gibson got together and decided to establish a sanctuary for unwanted and injured reptiles. Before then, most unwanted, unwelcomed, abandoned or injured reptiles were simply euthanized since no private or governmental agency had the knowledge or the facilities to rescue and provide for their wellbeing.

One special resident, Mr. Stubbs, happened to lose his tail shortly after he hatched. The tail wound healed long ago, but Mr. Stubbs was challenged to swim without a tail. Through the efforts of the PHS staff, a bionic tail has been crafted for Mr. Stubbs, and even though it takes a whole crew to attach, he has become quite a swimmer with his manmade tail.

Phoenix Herpetological Society

Because of the many venomous and potentially dangerous animals on site, the actual physical address of PHS is only given when a tour is scheduled. Getting There PHS is located in North Scottsdale. Directions will be given when a tour is scheduled. PHS is approximately 25 miles from Anthem. Cost $20/adult; $15/seniors; $15/kids; Free/under 3 Hours Tours are scheduled Monday–Saturday.

You can even help feed the tortoises and get really close to Clem, a 9-foot, 400-pound American alligator. The staff of PHS live their mission statement that, “Conservation Begins with Education,” and they work closely

with zoos and wildlife sanctuaries around the world. PHS offers conservation programs for schools, conventions and universities—just about anyone anywhere wanting to learn about the role reptiles play in the natural world. PHS teaches safety in interacting with reptiles, proper reptile care, and reptile conservation in the environment, including in your own backyard. From the amazing collection of rescued reptiles to the contagious passion and compassion for these animals that flows from the owners and volunteers, this sanctuary, its animals and its people are, well, just really special. When you get out and experience the PHS, you will leave as we did, thinking, “Wow, those folks really love their animals!” io THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2013 |

Behave at School

Set a Good Example for Your Kids [Editor’s Note: This morning crash in front of Boulder Creek on the third day of school reminded us that the season brings an extra level of madness to the roads. It’s a good time for us to remind drivers to take a few deep breaths, focus on the road and be extra gracious. With that in mind, we present this encore article from Chris Prickett’s archive for your consideration.]

don’t claim to be an expert on car line etiquette because I don’t drop my kids off at school. As a matter of fact, ours is a family dynamic straight out of the 50s: Dad works, mom takes care of the kids. Dad comes home from work to his pipe and slippers, a hot meal and a nice foot rub, while my dear wife slaves over the housework in high heels and a frilly apron... OK, let’s just stick with the part about me not dropping off the kids. Please don’t tell my wife the other stuff (she beats me). From my discussions with several drop-off parents, there seems to be a tad bit of friction over at ye olde school house. Can’t we all just ride along? Most of the complaints center around uncivil behavior and inattentive actions. Like life in general, huh?

Every school has their own system, but most have a pick-up and drop-off line and a wait-for-your-kid line. Pick one and act accordingly, por favor... and no cutting! Don’t wait in the express line and don’t express in the wait line. And, under no circumstance should you zip through the express line to get “cutseys” in the wait line! That small window of time at the beginning and end of the school day should be “yap-free.” If you’re in the express line and you see your bunco buddy in the wait line, give them a quick head nod and be on your way. I’m sure they would love to hear about your weekend, but not when 654 other parents are trying to gather their gaggle and hoof it to theater, or soccer or taekwondo practice. In&Out people!

yapping... Cell phones off. Distracted driving in a flood of recently freed public school parolees is not a good mix. They are kids; we expect them to be distracted. We are adults; our job is to protect them from themselves― not to roll by blindly in a 2-ton lethal weapon. Know the rules and follow them. Going the wrong way is not only a cardinal sin, it’s dangerous. So is texting with your head down as you’re jaywalking across the street. As silly as this may sound, it is a pretty common complaint. And be nice, OK? Your driving habits and under-yourbreath vocabulary are rubbing off on the backseat passengers. Plus, in this small-town, it’s quite possible that the silver SUV that you obliviously cut off is going be parked next to you at the next PTA meeting, or the grocery… or church. io

Pasta, Pizza, Beer…

Gluten-Free! I t used to be a fringe fad, but as more become informed about the food they choose, more are going gluten-free. And, restaurants are catering to the trend. Cafe Provence, now in its third year (no small feat!), serves a gluten-free pasta for your comfort-food fix. Wash that down with New Grist, a gluten-free sorghum beer. Now what? Chocolate, of course, in cake form—sans gluten. Two Brothers Kitchen will create

pancakes (choose plain, banana granola, blueberry or bacon) with a gluten-free batter. Our Kitchen to Yours is accustomed to the gluten-free request from its corporate clients and regularly prepares wheatless meals. And, Rosati’s has concocted a gluten-free pizza. io
