Living In Anthem Bubbles Reach the Surface? & Loving It! A d v e r t i s e m e n t
ASK DOREEN
Dear Doreen, My neighbor, who has the same model home as I do, has just sold her home for more than what I owe on mine. Yipee! Does this mean I’m no longer underwater? I love my home, but am considering downsizing so I can get out from the debt. Should I sell now or wait until the market improves even more? I’m so excited and relieved... I never want to be in this situation again. —Giddy in ‘Legacy’ Dear Giddy, Well, signs are positive in our local real estate market. Inventory is low, houses are selling and prices—which have been really slow to move— are beginning to creep up ever-soslightly.
Before you get too excited, though, there can be several thousand dollars difference in price between two similar homes on the same street. Pool, view lot, upgraded kitchen, overall condition… These things can have a big effect on price. If you need to downsize, a traditional sale can make that quite a bit easier. I can’t tell you if the trend is going to continue, but keep in mind you are selling and buying in the same market. If you feel you’re taking a bath on the sale, you’ll likely feel like you’re making a score on the purchase. —Doreen

May Brings Music to Our Ears By Lara Gates lgates@inandoutaz.com

nthem has a couple signature events every year, but the one we love most is the Music in May concert series. It’s a time for gathering with friends and neighbors for an evening in our most beautiful park, it’s friendly for all ages, and it’s free. “It’s an easy and fun way to start the weekend,” said Michele DeMichele, special events director for Anthem Community Council. “Grab a blanket, bring a picnic and enjoy some great music with your friends and family under the beautiful Arizona night sky,” DeMichele urged.

The dance floor is crowded with uninhibited music lovers. As the sun sets, the older set tends to let loose.
(Continued from page 15) This year’s festivities feature four new acts. Kicking off the party is the Chuck Hall Band with rhythm and blues originals and cover songs. Hall was named “Best Blues Guitarist” in Arizona two years in a row and inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame in 2000. On Friday, May 11, The Thaddeus Rose Band (a three-piece show band) will perform hits from the 40s through today. Thaddeus Rose is a regular performer at the Wigwam Resort. Week three will bring the Instant Classics performing oldies, classic rock and country. The six-piece band plays regularly at the Blue Martini Lounge in Phoenix, and was named a New Times Best of Phoenix Winner. Self-proclaimed as “Arizona’s favorite party band,” That Kool Band will round out the concert series with a variety from Motown to British invasion and disco. Each concert begins at 7 p.m. and will run about two hours. The venue is on the grass, so don’t forget something to sit on for you and your crew. io
NOTES FOR NEWCOMERS
This annual event draws large crowds, and because it’s at sunset, it can be difficult to keep track of your child once the music gets pumping. • Bring a flashlight along. • Look up. Tie a helium-filled balloon to your child’s wrist. • Break out the glow sticks and be creative. (Use ‘em as necklaces, around the wrists, ankles, etc.) • Bright-colored clothing (or white) will make your little ones easy to spot. • Have a plan. Tell them where to meet you, if you get separated. (The front of the stage is a good place.)

ACC Gets Closer to Big Building Purchase
A
nthem Community Council’s wish to own the 36,499-square-foot building at 3701 W. Anthem Way, currently housing its HOA offices, may soon come true. Efforts to purchase the office building with community enhancement fund dollars progressed a step when at its April 25 meeting, the Board unanimously gave CEO Jenna Kollings the green light to sign the purchase contract between GE Capital and the ACC. Residents packed the Community Center meeting room to hear the details of the plan. Most spoke (Continued on page 21)

Anthem’s Favorite Monument Makes History
A
nthem has only been here 13 years, but it already has a historical monument, thanks to state Sen. Lori Klein [R-Anthem]. Klein sponsored the bill to proclaim the newly installed Veterans Memorial as an official part of Arizona’s centennial celebration. Decorated Vietnam Veteran and friend Jon Corey, suggested Klein seek legislative designation for the memorial, Klein told In&Out. “I was thrilled my bill passed with no opposition… Having both branches agree unanimously on anything is a rarity, but it also underscores how all of Arizona recognizes Anthem’s achievement with the memorial,” Klein said. The Anthem resident and mother of three said, “I love Anthem and think it is one of the most inspiring and wellkept communities in Arizona.”

Anthem Named Best Family-Friendly ’Hood
P
arenting magazine named Anthem one of the best places to raise a family, and now Phoenix Magazine calls Anthem one of the Valley’s best family-friendly neighborhoods. Thanks for the nod, Phoenix, though we feel a bit slighted by the description: “While Anthem kids study at some of the highest-achieving public schools in the city, moms can stock up at the Outlets at Anthem.” Uh... OK we have more great school choices here than anywhere else in the Valley we can think of. And the Outlets, with its amazing holiday season events, KidsPlay program, splash pad/ playground and many other family friendly qualities, gets better every year.
winding nature trails and bike paths, a water park that never gets old, a lake where kids can try endlessly to catch “the big one,” an awesome skate park, and infinite programs at a gorgeous community center with a rock wall, high-dive and full gym, and a library with a packed schedule for kids from birth on up. We’ve got several community theater programs, a dance school, a music school, martial arts schools...
But most importantly, Anthem is a place to bring family because of that great intangible: a passionate community that cares for each other, watches each other’s children and (But come on! The Anthem moms we know are not whiling away daylight rallies around the cause, whatever it hours trying on handbags until pickup.) may be. Yeah, Anthem is one of the Valley’s Anthem’s tops in family-friendliness best family-friendly hoods. Just ask because of the expanses of beautiful parks, manicured, lighted ball fields, those who live here.
Former Land Developer Named Head of Parks/Facilities A nthem’s new Parks and Facilities Director David Smith brings more to the table than his experience as facilities director at another Valley community.
David Smith

IN&OUT
| MAY 3, 2012
An Anthem resident since 1999, Smith served as Pulte’s manager of land development during Anthem’s construction, according to Community Operations Officer Neal Shearer.
Smith will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all ACC parks and facilities, and will manage the department’s budget, which encompasses the largest portion of the ACC’s operating budget. The former facilities director for Estrella Mountain Ranch master-planned community in Goodyear, Smith began serving in his new role April 23. io
(Continued from page 18) in favor of the purchase, citing the need for additional programming and meeting space, and the attractive price tag. One resident questioned the need for such a large additional facility. The lender-owned building sold for $6.85 million in 2000. The current asking price is $2.85 million, but according to CFO Doug Greenstein, the ACC made an offer of $2.3 million on the facility. To fund the purchase, ACC is proposing to spend between $500,000 to $750,000 from the community enhancement fund as a down payment, with the remainder to be financed with a low-interest loan for 15-20 years. Doing so would leave about $4 million available in the enhancement fund for future projects such as performing arts space, sports fields/open space, an additional swimming pool, and parks and teen facilities. Current ACC assessments would remain unchanged.
POTENTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS
• Creates a community hub (welcome/information center and community services in one location.) • Allows for retention of a permanent MCSO and posse presence. • Provides additional program space, multi-purpose space for classrooms, training, local clubs/ organizations and community meetings. • Offers drop-in space for resident use. • Eliminates lease payments, reducing out-of-pocket costs for current and future homeowners.
Let the Debate Begin
A 60- to-90-day due diligence period will allow for community outreach and input before final Board approval, as early as June 27. During the due diligence, the Board has the option to terminate the project without penalty. io

future adjustment of wastewater rates might provide some relief. The hope was that the water company would deconsolidate wastewater rates from the Anthem-Agua Fria water district. Deconsolidation would mean Anthem wastewater rates would go down 24.8 percent (from the rates implemented on Jan.1 , 2011), and the rates in the Verrado, Russell Ranch and Corte Bella areas of the district would increase 62.98 percent. Anthem presented a proposal to graduate the rates over a three-year period. But on April 10, Judge Teena Jibilian recommended against deconsolidation to the Corporation Commission stating “deconsolidation would not correctly assign cost responsibility for all ratemaking components, and is therefore not in the public interest at this time.”
Speak Out
An open meeting is planned prior to the Corporation Commission’s acceptance or rejection of the judge’s recommendation, and Anthem is rallying residents to make their position heard. io

OVER THE PRICKE
F E N C E | BY CHRIS PRICKETT
J
ust one more example why I only purchase licorice-flavored shoe polish. One simple sentence in my annual “Snowbird Checklist” evoked nearly as much confusion and controversy as the “cell tower sneak” of 2009. I wrote: “As long as the landscape is getting water, it’s OK to turn off the water to your house.” That seemingly harmless huddle of words prompted an email from a firesprinkled homeowner asking if turning off the water main would kill the water to the sprinkler system. It was my understanding that the sprinkler system bypasses the main, but the crack legal team at In&Out demanded I get answers. I got three, which made things about as clear as sludge: From Brian Keown Jr., of Supreme Fire Protection It does depend on what city the system was installed. In most cases, there should be two shut-off valves. From Dan Jarrett, public information officer for Daisy Mountain Fire Department He believes residential (Continued on page 24)

Before You Kill the Main Water Valve... The main shutoff to this home, the lower handle, will shut off the water to the landscape as well. Don’t turn this off or your plants may be dead when you return.
SOME DOs & DON’Ts:
DON’T… • Shut off the water at the individual fixtures—such as the handle under your toilet tank. Those suckers will start leaking if you breathe on them funny. • Shut off the water from the soft water system to the house IF the only shutoff is a plastic valve that comes with the soft water unit. They’re leak-prone. DOs… • Shut off the water from the soft water system to the house IF the shut-off is a brass-ball valve. • Shut off the natural gas to the home at the meter. (Turning it back on requires a visit from Southwest Gas.) • Shut off the main water line to the house IF you don’t have fire sprinklers and if your landscape watering system does not get shut off with the main.

(Continued from page 23) sprinkler systems bypass the main water shut-off to the home. What that means is that homeowners should be able to turn off the water into the home, without shutting off water to the sprinkler system. The sprinkler system shut-off is usually found in the garage. Obviously homeowners should check their own systems or have a sprinkler company,

[such as Supreme Fire Protection], or a plumber come inspect if unsure. From Tyler Ringe, co-owner of Proskill Plumbing There should be separate shutoffs to the main and the fire sprinklers, but he’s seen it both ways. All these experts agree if you don’t know for sure, don’t shut off the main. Call a pro to check your house, then you’ll know for sure. io
