ASK DOREEN

Is a Double Bubble Coming? Dear Doreen, My neighbor, a real estate agent, says we are going into another bubble, as prices are rising so rapidly. She called it a “double bubble.” Is that what’s happening? I was going to sell my house but thought I’d better wait since prices are going up. Double thinking...

earning more, they can’t pay more. The average income is 10% less than 10 years ago. low interest rates are helping current buyers, but rates will increase and requirements will get stiffer. Home prices are nowhere near where they were at the top of the last bubble. If we are seeing that dreaded double bubble, it isn’t as severe Dear Double, as the last. If you are holding everyone has their own out for higher prices, you may opinion on this. I think we can’t want to re-think that. Call sustain these price increases us. This is worth an in-depth without a correlated rise in discussion. wages. If workers are not —Doreen

Helpless in Seattle, Neighbors Had Their Back

wo weeks ago, my family flew to Seattle for a funeral. An hour after we landed, our pet sitter called to say our labradoodle, Cooper, had fled through their view fence and never stopped running. They live off Memorial Drive near the high school and we live in Tramonto. Of course, we were panicked and completely helpless in Seattle. Cooper the labradooble and his family are all smiles since being reunited. Our dog is an indoor lap dog and has epilepsy for which he receives medicine twice per day. Our dear friends and family put up signs and searched for Cooper for two days. Cooper was listed on Anthem Pets [site] and a notice went out immediately.

Don and Candace [last name withheld] searched for an hour in the wash with their dog and almost caught him.

On Sunday morning, we got the call that Tammy [last name withheld] spotted him in the wash south of Daisy Mountain by CVS. People from everywhere grabbed leashes and water, snacks and dogs, and came to look.

We can’t thank our community enough for all of your thoughts, prayers and help!

Eventually, my friend’s daughter caught him and he was perfectly OK. He didn’t seem to have had a seizure On Saturday night, my friend and, other than an eye issue, is in suggested I put up a notice on [a perfect health according to his vet. We community] Facebook page. There was are so grateful for Anthem Pets and our a huge outpouring of sympathy, prayers entire Anthem/Tramonto/Desert Hills and help from so many people in this community, and wanted to say that we community.

FENCE

Be a Teen Driver Survivor By Chris Prickett cprickett@anthemnews.com

t’s been a (very) long time since I was a teenage driver. If I remember correctly, I started out a first class, hall-of-fame caliber expert. Never did I scrape a curb, roll a stop sign, hold my hands anywhere but 10 and 2, or let the speedometer tip a hair past the posted limit. I’m also fortunate that there are few witnesses remaining to contest my slightly less than accurate recollection. Now that I’ve got my first teen driver, it’s important I right-size my expectations and at the same time, try and minimize the downside that inevitably comes along with this most stressful milestone. I’m fortunate that my oldest is atypical of the stereotypical first-born. She’s cautious, responsible and, thank goodness, not a boy. I cringe at the thought of my youngest progeny (all boy) hitting the road. Luckily, that’s still a few gray hairs into the future. I think it’s important to realize that scrapes and dings, fender benders, and

a handful of lost keys come with the territory. That said, I’ve set limits and implemented ironclad rules to help keep her nose between the ditches. Anthem isn’t the worst place to cut your teeth behind the wheel, as most streets are 35 mph and under. We’ve limited the driving to the friendly confines so there’s less chance of a newbie’s mistake becoming a tragedy. Texting while driving (and we check the phone) means instant revocation of privileges, no ifs, ands, or OMGs about it. There are also limits with regard to friends with whom, places to which, and times of day when she can drive. I’m sure I won’t sleep well until she’s in her 40s, but I take some comfort knowing every single driver on the street was once just like her, and like me, a too-hard braking, too-quick turning, and too-damn-young-to be-on-the-road rookie. And, like me, they are all still here to inaccurately recollect it. io THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 |

The Rovidas are handson owners of the parlor, and chances are good you will meet them both when you get there. As you’d expect, only the best ingredients go into their offerings. No pre-made food is served. No high-fructose corn syrup to be found. After dessert, there is a full lunch and dinner menu with unique menu items, such as the Jail Tree Sandwich.

Keeping Parkside Humming

By Nadine Shaalan nshaalan@anthemnews.com

ost Anthem residents are acutely aware of how an HOA slices both ways: The neighbor’s rusted Chevy, thankfully, will never be retired in the front yard. Yet, are we really being fined for a basketball hoop in the driveway? And, can someone please shut that dog up?! (Our dog never barks when we’re not home.) Running an HOA community is certainly not for the thin-skinned and is nobody’s dream job. Unless, maybe, your name is Annette McCarthy.

IO: How long have you been a

community manager in Anthem?’

AM: Since February 2009. From July 2003 until February 2009 I was a compliance manager here so I’ve been with the community association for 10 years.

What exactly are your responsibilities? I manage the Parkside compliance managers and support staff, facilitate maintenance and repairs of common areas within Parkside and the 32 neighborhood parks, manage the budget, approve and facilitate payment of bills, water management, negotiate contracts, inspect the parks for safety issues, etc.

You are also a problem-solver, dispute-manager and compliance enforcer, correct? How do you handle so much conflict and stay sane?

About 95 percent of the time, my conversations with homeowners is in a spirit of how we can help them resolve an issue or help them get approval for a modification. I try to focus on what I can do for them as opposed to what I can’t do. Of course, there are some instances when I cannot give the homeowner what they are asking for and it’s tough to deal with that conflict, but it is a very small percentage.

How many homes do you manage? There are almost 7,000 homes in Anthem Parkside. Anthem Parkside is one of the largest HOAs in the Valley, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 |

VERBATIM

so many times other community managers are surprised at our size. I am very proud of the Anthem Parkside community and it is a privilege to be a part of it.

How many emails/phone calls do you get in a typical day?

Of what are you most proud?

During the economic downturn, Anthem Parkside kept costs down and did not have to raise dues. I am proud to have been a part of the Water Rate Panel to keep the water rates as low as possible (which helped us keep our costs down as well).

Emails are crazy… I get around 150 per day. Phone calls for me personally: If you could remove one type of around 20 per day, but the compliance complaint from Anthem’s existence, managers and administrative assistant what would it be? handle most calls. The Parkside team Dog barking issues are the toughest receives about 120 phone calls in a day. to handle; I wish I could take that out.

How on earth do you manage?

I love being busy and frantic busy is what I like best, (there may be medication for this). Every day is different here at the HOA and always interesting. I try to let my focus be on the positives such as moving a park improvement forward, or the many, many wonderful people I have met in this community.

What are some of the strangest requests/complaints/violations you have had to handle?

The strangest issues have been between neighbors: neighbors talking too loudly, kids playing too loudly, [people] smoking too much, looking into their yards, having too many guests or parties too often… While we understand frustrations when we live so close to our neighbors, many of those things are not violations of the CC&Rs.

What is the biggest challenge?

Finding a balance between providing outstanding services and keeping costs down. Anthem homeowners expect and deserve a high level of maintenance and service in this beautiful community. But keeping our quarterly dues steady is of utmost importance.

If you could tap your heels and have everyone in Anthem Parkside comply with just one rule, what would it be? I wish I could magically give everyone a garage and driveway to hold eight cars and there would be no more street parking. I say this, not because it’s the most terrible offense, but because it is such a tough rule to live by and enforce.

What do you envision doing in your next dream job?

I envision coming to work 20 years from now to the Anthem Parkside HOA with my walker and oxygen tank! This is my dream job.

Is there anything weird, interesting, fascinating, unbelievable about your job that people might not know?

All of those words describe every day here at the Parkside HOA! Something people might not know: I recently met the man who designed the train system in the main park. He is friends with my husband and he invited us to bring my 3-year-old grandson to his home and he has a complete train system in his backyard similar to the Anthem train. He took my grandson for a ride. It was amazing to see. io THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 |

GETTING SPENDY “As the economy rebounds, have

you made any purchases this year that you had been postponing?”

Kyle Morgan CEO, Anthem

“Oh yeah. I have upgraded computer systems for work and my personal use. Upgraded TVs and appliances and bought some fun stuff I have been holding off on.”

Alanna LaBella

Preschool Teacher, Anthem

“I have not made any purchases because I am still hesitant about the economy.”

Terri McBride

Debra Vaught

“I do feel confident the economy will come back a little. Even though I see it coming back I am going to stay stable and be conservative.”

“I don’t see the turnaround yet so I’m going to hold my position. No big purchases coming.”
