ASK DOREEN
Get Intimate With Your Agent Dear Doreen, I read that I should ask an agent questions, but the article didn’t go into specifics. How probing are the questions you get asked? Does it offend you? —Tongue-tied Dear tongue-tied, That’s a good question! I’m never offended by probing questions about my business practices. Here are a few I get: 1) Do you have an office? Do you have a private office within that office? 2) How many ways can I contact you? 3) Do you provide an in-depth written marketing plan—not just open
houses, an MlS listing or classified ad? 4) Do you market consistently and persistently to those capable of buying? 5) Do you use a diversified arsenal of marketing strategies using creative ideas? 6) How do you track marketing? 7) Do you have systems in place to provide me regular updates of pertinent activity? These are just some of the questions you should ask. a highly involved and successful agent will be able to give you positive answers to these questions. ask me anything. —Doreen

• And, the turtle was full of eggs. The red-eared slider, named for its distinctive red markings on its head and its tendency to slip quickly into the water, has been moved to Dove Valley Animal Hospital. She is now under the care of Dr. Mike Kiedrowski, a

Funny Money Comedian Jef Rawls donates his talent to create a riotous (and family-friendly) fundraiser for Starlight.

mprov is a special kind of funny we all wish we could command. Jef Rawls is so adept at it he’s got his own improv club in Scottsdale where he’s been performing live every weekend for the past 14 years. He’s really funny. Jef hosted the Emmy award-winning kids TV show “What’s Up?” and has acted in commercials, films, and on stage. And somehow, Starlight Community Theater managed to convince him to come to Anthem to host two improv shows Saturday, May 11. The shows, to be co-hosted with Starlight’s Kimberly Woods, will be interactive, a la “Whose Line is it Anyway?” (the pee-your-pants comedy series hosted by Drew Carey). Two teams of improv players—one adult, the other teens—have been trained for this special event. We caught up with Rawls to get some serious answers: How did you get so funny? Jef Rawls Years of practice! Actually, some people say I’ve always been a little silly—but I believe it’s because I look for the funny in everyday living. I think we need to have fun in life, and when you can

AN Do you work with kids often? JR Regularly. We are more interested in developing productive adults than making kids funny. What if teenagers listened better, realized that they are part of a team (family, school, etc.) and felt supported in their ideas? Yeah, we’re developing adults.
What can local groups do that is out of reach for a comic or theater group that caters to a larger audience?
What do you want to be when you grow up? JR Spiderman
JR Make themselves available and accessible to the audience. When an audience member can approach an entertainer, they feel special. I’m sure you remember every famous person you’ve ever met and what they’ve said. Local celebrities/actors/comics can bring that same memory for an audience member who enjoyed their performance.
What value do theater and comedy bring to a community? JR Theater brings the community to a common place to experience an event collectively. Laughter is infectious. A community laughing? Our politicians could use a lesson in laughter.
What is the cure for stage fright? Understanding what it is: Our body preparing itself to accomplish something more than it is used to. When we recognize that our body wants to do its best and that our mind is talking us out of it, then we seek to embrace the

It’s our inner saboteur that wants us to quit because our body is doing something different (like sweating or shaking) so it tells us this must be bad or you’re not good at this. Don’t listen to your brain. What are the three most important ingredients to successful comedy? What is the truth of the situation? Set up that situation within a reality the audience understands and then twist or exaggerate it. An audience that is being entertained wants three things: action, emotion and details. If you can exaggerate the reality of any one of these within a skit and have integrity of the character and situation, the audience will enjoy it. Is family-friendly comedy less funny? Not at all. In fact, it’s usually funnier because you actually need to be talented and creative with your comedy rather than going for a cheap laugh.
Why does so much comedy involve cursing and, for lack of better term, ‘adult’ themes? As I said, you want to exaggerate reality. Most comics take that to the “shock and awe” level, outside of societal norms. Audiences can laugh for a variety of reasons and discomfort is one of them (“I’d never say that” is one of those exaggerations that may shock someone, but since everyone else is laughing, it must be funny.)

Is all lost for humanity, or is this just the natural evolution of teen relationships? They post their feelings on Facebook, share what they see on Instagram, Facetime homework sessions and text their thoughts. A Pew Internet and American Life study found typical teens send and receive texts about 1,500 times a month, with girls texting more than boys. Some up to 6,000 texts a month.

Julie Caldwell, an Anthem family and marriage therapist, said she thinks there is a loss of intimacy when people don’t communicate face-to-face. “There is some positivity in communicating this way, but if the primary way adolescents are interacting with their peers is through social media, those relationships are going to be difficult to build into a more meaningful and deeper friendship.” And, Caldwell said, online posts are very public, decreasing the intimacy a faceto-face friendship can nurture.

With Benefits, Risks “For adolescents, there’s a lot of bullying and it opens up the arena for negative interactions,” said Caldwell. And, because most families don’t require teens to checkin their devices at night, teens can be exposed to cyberbullying 24 hours a day. Most children who are bullied through social media and texting are also bullied in person. Before technology put constant connectivity in our pockets, children could get away from bullying. Now it can reach them even when they’re alone.
Preventing Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying, defined as bullying that occurs through electronic technology, affects 16 percent of high schoolers nationwide. • Know your child’s online activity. Ask where they’re going, what they’re doing and who they’re doing it with. • Ask for their passwords in case of emergency. • Follow or friend them on social networking sites or ask another responsible adult to do so. • Establish rules for technology use. Talk to them about how to be safe online. Tell them they are not permitted to post things that will hurt themselves or others. In most cases, once something is posted, it can’t ever truly be deleted.
All is Not Lost Larry Rosen, PhD, presented his research to the American Psychological Association’s 2011 convention, that shows children and teens are capable of showing “virtual empathy” in which they can express • Understand school rules. Some empathy to friends through texts and schools now have cyberbullying online messages. Even better, the policies. Ask your school if it “virtual empathy” can transfer into has one. “real-world empathy.” SOURCE StopBullying.gov What it comes down to is balance. Connecting through social media can be beneficial to a point. Caldwell suggests parents need to model behavior they’d like to see in their kids, since adults also tend to be frequently engaged with social media. “Shut the electronics down, turn your phones off and have family dinners IN&OUT STAFF PHOTO together,” she said. io THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 |

Providing Health Care for Children
T H E TA L K » BY BRAD WOOD
CAUTIOUS CONNECTIONS “Kids are spending more
and more time hanging with their friends virtually. Are you concerned your child’s virtual habits are interfering with normal social development?”
Jody Novak
Contract Manager, Anthem
“I have not had the concern because my son is a social kid. It has entered my mind that he would get so wrapped up in his games that other things like going outside and throwing the ball with his buddies is trivial. Part of the fear is who is actually on the other end. I manage his time to make sure he does other things and is social in other ways. My concern would be that would be the only thing he knows.”
Christina Mcgraw
Marriage and Family Therapist, Anthem
“I am not concerned at this point. My children will sometimes play on Club Penguin. We set it up with restrictions, have ongoing discussions of basic Internet safety and limit the amount of time they are on the site. We tell them we want them playing with friends in person but that computer and video games can have a place in their lives as well.”

Tim Boykin
Greg Churchill
“My wife and I are both teachers and we have seen firsthand some compromising situations that students have gotten into involving virtual relationships. When our own children began to enter the elementary grades we were adamant that they would interact in person with their friends. In addition, we have personal beliefs they will socialize more effectively if they learn to engage people faceto-face.”
“I do not have a concern if the computer time is in balance with other activities and outdoor time. We closely monitor who he is interacting with online and also limit his screen time. The virtual games help him connect to friends with whom he may not otherwise get to interact.”

It’s Critical & May Be Dying By Chris Prickett cprickett@anthemnews.com
T
he dog days of summer are nipping at our flip flops, and speaking of pooches, you need to figure the life of your air conditioner in dog years. Everything after 10 years is a blessing. As Anthem reaches the mid-point of its terrible teens, we’ve got a whole bunch of air conditioners (which we kind of need out here) living on borrowed time. I strongly suggest you shelter some shekels for anything from a rebuild to a complete new system. In some cases, a talented HVAC tech can bring a dead system back to life for around $2,000. A new “buildergrade” unit will set you back $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the size of the unit, and one with the white walls and undercoating can run you $12,000 or more. Here are some things you should know: Efficiency A/C efficiency is measured
by its SEER Rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The lowest is 13 and
the highest is 23. A 23-SEER rating is overkill unless you’re a homesick Eskimo, so stick to 18 or lower. Size The size of the unit is measured
in tons and/or BTUs (British Thermal Units). As far as sizing goes, bigger isn’t better. An oversized system is just as bad as an undersized unit. Go for Goldilocks. State of the Art You don’t need the latest and the greatest. You need to weigh your wallet, energy savings, and how long you plan to live in the house when deciding what’s best for you. Slimy Sales If the salesperson begins
the pitch with “Mr. Sunnysucker, I’ve custom designed this system for your home...” grab your piggy bank and head for higher ground; the fleecing is about to commence. Expensive Neglect An ounce of
prevention is worth $12,000 of cure. Change your filters monthly, and have your system serviced by an honest HVAC company once a year. They’re out there... but so are the hucksters, so proceed with caution. io THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 |

Given the high cost of repair and replacement of an air conditioning system, there are a couple things you should do to prolong its natural life.
