Short Sale Panic is Over
Dear Doreen, Last year, I kept hearing that if I didn’t complete my short-sale before the new year, I would face a load of extra taxes. But I also heard there was a chance the government would extend the waiver. Any developments?
—On the Financial Brink Dear OFB, Good news! This is what the law says now: Discharge of indebtedness income from qualified principal residence debt, up to a $2 million limit ($1 million
Living In Anthem & Loving It!
for married individuals filing separately) is excluded from gross income. Under pre-Act law, this exclusion didn’t apply to any debt discharged after 2012. New Law The 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act extends this exclusion for one year so that it applies to home mortgage debt discharged before 2014. (Code Sec. 108(a)(1) (E), as amended by Act Sec. 202) As always, please seek the advice of a tax professional to see how your situation fits. —Doreen

O
h the joys of a maturing community. Just like our everaging bodies, our properties require vigilant cleaning, spackling and trimming to keep from looking like the neighborhood version of that old guy with the scary ear hair. One of my Anthem friends (yes, I actually have two or three of those) phoned the other day about a tree whose root had migrated across his lawn and under the wall shared with his neighbor… who may or may not still be his friend. The root was beginning to lift the wall footing, causing the wall to heave. What to do, what to do... Barring the imminent invention of a time machine, my advice was woefully limited. Once the wall has begun to move, we are dealing with a minimization of damage, as opposed to an ounce of prevention. Hindsight would have told him (or the previous homeowner) to choose a tree with less invasive roots, and to plant it far away from anything he doesn’t want pushed around, (e.g., a patio, a sidewalk, a house). The best advice I could give at this point was to cut the root to stop it from growing, leave it in place, keep an eye on any other buggers that might decide to creep that way, and consider going all George Washington on that tree. Removing the root completely will likely cause the wall to sag. Filling the cavity with dirt or concrete will likely cause movement when everything settles. Chances are, no matter what he does, in a few years he’ll be looking at rebuilding that section of wall. Not the answer he wanted to hear, but, hey, I’m no miracle worker. If I were, I’d have just invented the time machine. io

is becoming a problem invasive roots planted within 5 feet of a concrete walk or wall is required to have root barriers, according to the guidelines. A root barrier is a sheet of thick plastic about 18-inches tall, buried in a trench around the tree. But its efficacy is questionable, Cober said, as roots can go under or over the barrier. “It can work when trees are very young and small, but it won’t help in the long run.” Tyler Ringe of Proskill Plumbing has repaired four sewer mains in the previous three months, one of which involved ripping up the entire driveway. “It’s
the mesquites, they are absolutely invasive, they will seek water and [roots will] go down,” he said. So what is a homeowner to do? Be proactive. Survey trees that are improperly planted and consider removing them before damage occurs. Homeowners and prospective buyers might consider an inspection of the sewer main, suggested Ringe, who inspects the sewer by snaking a camera to reveal possible root invasion. The cost for service is around $200,

tree owner may be responsible for the damage. “If your roots grow into someone else’s soil, you have trespassed. Arizona case law says if the tree isn’t poisonous and the roots don’t do any damage, you haven’t done anything wrong. But if the roots do damage, you’ve trespassed and caused damage for which the landowner is entitled to relief,” said Kimberly Garde of The Garde Law Firm. This includes damage to block walls, pools, patios and driveways.

Arborist or Landscaper? • An arborist is specifically trained in the science of caring for trees. A landscaper cares for plants, shrubs and flowers. • Arborists can prune and remove trees and can provide emergency tree care. • An arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture must engage in continuing education to maintain certification and stay upto-date on techniques. Find an ISA certified arborist at: treesaregood. org/findtreeservices/ FindTreeCareService.aspx. • According to treesaregood.org, a reputable arborist will carry personal and property damage insurance. Ask for proof of insurance. If the person you hire does not carry insurance, you could be held responsible for damages and injuries that occur as a result of the job. • An assessment by a certified arborist costs about $35–$100.

newly dedicated Bill of Rights Memorial graces a sweeping walkway at Wesley Bolin Plaza, Arizona’s “National Mall.” And, with Feb. 14 being Arizona’s 101st birthday as well as the official end to our state’s centennial celebration, a trip down to Wesley Bolin Plaza and the state capitol is an appropriate way to spend a cool February day. It was Dec. 17 (National Bill of Rights Day), 2012 when Arizonans of all political persuasions came together for the unveiling of the first of 50 memorials that someday will grace the grounds of every state capitol of the union. It was comedian Chris Bliss who, in 2005, came upon the idea from one of his comedy routines for a series of 50 Bill of Rights memorials. He used his comic ways to influence friends, foundations and
corporations and began to raise the necessary private funds for these uniquely American structures. In 2006, Arizona legislators, in a rare show of cooperation, unanimously passed the necessary bills to make Wesley Bolin Plaza the home for Arizona’s memorial. Bliss now had the funding and the political go-ahead to move forward with what had become his own “Power of One” dream.

Comedian Chris Bliss’ serious mission: To raise
awareness of and respect for the freedoms and principles in the Bill of Rights through the creation of monuments and permanent displays in civic spaces across America. The goal is to place this legacy front and center at as many state capitols and in as many town squares as possible, elevating the Bill of Rights once and for all to the position of public prominence it deserves, as a clarion call to the generations that follow to pay heed to their American birthright of liberty.

Ruth Anthony
“I don’t see how it can hurt. If it can generate revenue for the Daisy Mountain Fire Department, then have at it.”
“It doesn’t bother me. If they need to get money to help the department, that’s fine. I’ve never seen it done on any type of emergency vehicle before, so it’s out-ofthe-box thinking.”
“At this point in time, with the way big and small cities are struggling, I don’t see a problem with it as long as the ads are appropriate.”
“I think it’s just fine as long as the ads are safety-oriented and go with the department’s message. It’s good to think of ways to generate revenue.”

Fast Facts
DMFD’s Moving Billboards
At its Jan. 28 meeting, Daisy Mountain Fire Department Board agreed to auction ad space on six of its vehicles in an effort to generate revenue to offset a decrease in tax revenue. • Property tax revenue, DMFD’s main source of funding, has decreased roughly $1.5 million since 2008 when property values began to plunge,
according to Capt. Dave Wilson. • Revenue generated by ad sales would help fund community programs that have suffered or been cut, such as drowning prevention, bicycle safety, CPR and first aid classes. Other uses would be for staffing off-duty EMT personnel at community events and races. • Bids will be solicited by an agency starting Friday, Feb. 15. • Proposed ads are 24-by-36 and would go on the roll up doors on either side of the vehicle, but the Board and the fire chief will have final say. “The image we want to portray will be in line with safety, health and welfare,” Wilson said. “We don’t want to look like a Nascar race track with ads on the vehicles.” • DMFD provides service to Anthem, Desert Hills and New River.
