We are Local

Dog-friendly hotels — not so much.

I knew it was only a matter of time before our aging air conditioning units called it quits. With rather large dogs, I also knew a hotel was not an option if our units died in the middle of the peak season. My wife and I decided to look into replacement before the inevitable occurred. We had five quotes from both local and larger valley contractors. Travis with ProSkill impressed us with his promptness, knowledge, and thoroughness. Travis was the only contractor to do a calculation on our house, then come back and present a proposal in person. I knew I had my guy! Their pricing was beyond fair for top quality units, especially when considering all the extra work they did beyond just “changing out the boxes”, as Travis says. The final install was a work of art, and the team cleaned up with care. I will gladly continue to refer Travis and the ProSkill team to all my neighbors and friends.

Superb Marketing Designed to Get the Highest Possible Price A D V E R T I S E M E N T

ASK DOREEN

Is My Agent a Swindler?

Dear Doreen, I feel like I have been ripped off by my real estate agent! He had me pay for things like ads in the newspaper, hiring a professional photographer to take pictures of my house (or, he said, he’d take photos with his iPhone). He even wanted me to pay for the open-house signs. When I asked for a discount on the commission, he said, “No way.” My listing expired. My house didn’t sell. I’m out all that money. Is this normal? I’ve never heard of this.

Ripped Off Dear Ripped Off, Many homeowners don’t realize real estate agents are independent contractors, even though they might work under the umbrella of a large company.

Agents can set their own procedures and this agent obviously wants to be paid for the marketing costs.

While not typical, this type of practice is becoming more popular as marketing costs rise. If your home was in poor condition, priced too high, or in an unpopular location, the agent would have been wasting his marketing dollars. Remember, houses sell for three reasons: 1) condition, 2) location and 3) price. You signed the agreement stating you would pay the marketing costs, so you really can’t complain. Another cautionary tale: Read and review before you sign!

very family is a unique story and I know dozens. What’s astounding is there are often remarkable similarities. For instance, I often get the opportunity to educate people about assisted living options, which I love to do—especially before there is a situation of panic. But more times than I can count, those who are casually surveying options—group homes vs. institutions, large-scale vs. small—end up in a panic situation shortly after.

Take Suzanne who lives in Amber Hills. She was hoping to convince her mom Hazel to move to Arizona before another Wyoming winter arrived. She toured Anthem Senior Living and Anthem Senior Retreat, took lots of pictures, asked awesome questions, and was so excited about the possibility of moving mom closer to her family.

But Hazel wanted one more year in the home where she raised her children, where she made many happy memories

before her husband passed. It’s just too hard for her to leave, Suzanne said. The very next day, Suzanne called back and said, “Mom is in the hospital and will be released tomorrow. Can she move in on Friday?” Turns out while Hazel was cooking dinner, she left some paper towels a little too close to the stove.

“The entire house, including all our pictures, furniture, china… everything burned and is gone. Luckily, a neighbor got Mom out with no serious injuries.”

I meet many sons and daughters just before mom or dad land in the hospital.

Coincidence? Probably not. Suzanne had known in her heart her mom wasn’t safe living alone anymore and that’s why she began the search for assisted living. She hoped, now, her mom realized it, too.

If you are curious about assisted living options, your instincts might be telling you something. Follow them before it’s too late.

Soda Expelled From School Other snack foods get an ‘upgrade.’

IN&OUT STAFF PHOTO

By Nuri Boraie info@anthemnews.com

“T

he machines are there, but there’s no soda. It just says ‘sold out,’ ” said 15-year-old Marlin Begalke. Yes, kids, he’s referring to the latest dietary changes implemented at Boulder Creek High School and all Deer Valley Unified schools, not a scene from some post-apocalyptic TV drama.

Thanks to the federal Smart Snacks standards—the newest phase of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act—DVUSD students now suffer the school day without soda. Fully implemented by the district July 1, 2014, the Smart Snacks initiative uses USDA standards to raise the bar on school campuses and put healthier snacks in the hands of students.

The standards aim to bring more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and higher nutrient values to food snacks served and sold on public school campuses during the school day—defined curiously as midnight to 30 minutes after the final bell.

IN&OUT

| THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2014

“Soda is not being sold in any vending machine on campus that students can access,” said Kerrie Zigler, director of food services for DVUSD. Gatorade and flavored waters are no longer sold in middle schools, but high schools may sell calorie-free flavored water or drinks that contain less than 10 calories per 20 fluid ounces. Sandra Day O’Connor High School Senior Marcus Miranda said his school swapped out its fountain lemonade and iced tea with sugar-free versions in the cafeteria.

How far do the new changes go? Students may see some new a la carte items in the snack lines this year. Zigler told In&Out, “Corn tortilla chips with salsa, whole-grain granola bars, baked chips and whole-grain fresh baked cookies” are some of the new items featured in the lower grades.

Hummus plates are now hitting the shelves in high schools. Items sold by outside vendors—such as the once-popular Chickfil-A sandwiches or pizza from Barro’s or Oggi’s have disappeared. Not surprisingly,

CURRENTS » SCHOOL a la carte sales in the first two weeks of school are down 10 percent from last year, Zigler said.

But don’t expect apples or celery sticks in vending machines any time soon. [See “Smart Snack Guidelines, Page 16.] “The BGHS vending items (reduced-fat Cheetos, baked chips and low-fat ice cream bars) meet the Smart Snack standards,” said Zigler. Similar items—Oven Baked Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Cool Ranch Doritos and Blue Bunny Fudge Bars can be found in vending machines at Boulder Creek High School. While DVUSD sets the standards, the machines are managed by an outside contractor which might explain why Miranda couldn’t find any of the above snacks at SDOHS. “The vending machines now only have water, fruit snacks, NutriGrain bars and granola bars,” he said.

While implementation of the Smart Snacks standards won’t have students eating fistfulls of raw spinach and running off to save Olive Oyl, they demonstrate a move in the right direction. One small step for DVUSD and a great opportunity for kids actually willing to eat healthy. io

Smart Snack Guidelines

Foods served or sold on campus must meet one of these four criteria…

Contain 50% whole grain (or list as first ingredient)

Good source of a “nutrient of public health concern”

First ingredient is a dairy product, protein food, fruit or veggie.

And, must meet all of these criteria…

• 35% or less calories from fat* • 10% or less calories from saturated fat* • 35% or less sugar (by weight)

(calcium, potassium, vitamin D or fiber)

Contain 1 /4 cup fruits or veggies (or list as first ingredient)

• No trans fats • Max 200 calories per serving

(down from previous standard of 400)

• Max 230 mg sodium per serving

(down from previous standard of 800 mg)

SOURCE Arizona Department of Education

*For decades, federal guidelines have recommended fat avoidance for heart health, but recent research—published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Annals of Internal Medicine—suggests saturated fats are not the threat to public health as once thought. In fact, the findings suggest processed carbohydrates, such as the ones found in school vending machines, are the real problem. So, while attempts are being made to improve public health through school nutrition standards, the guidelines lag behind current knowledge.

KALE & the Bully

IN&OUT STAFF PHOTO

By Larry Vivola lvivola@anthemnews.com

I

was once accosted, “Have you ever tried kale chips?” I defensively snapped back with, “Are you talkin’ to me?

Do I look like I eat kale? I’m a tough guy! Why would anyone eat kale chips?” Shocked and clearly appalled by my aggressiveness, the instigator mustered enough courage to then ask if I would like a sample. I growled and accepted the challenge.

The 10-year-old farmer’s daughter pushing kale chips at the farmers market was relieved when this “hangry” (a state of anger caused by hunger) carnivore’s eyes calmed. She had tamed this beast. High-fives were flying. All the kale was purchased, and the young lady shared her kale-to-kale chip recipe with me. I then left after giving her an apologetic gratuity and more high-fives all around.

I like my tough-guy persona. I do, however, have a confession: I’m not secure enough to cook, serve or eat kale chips around my family or friends; I eat them in secret. I hide them in a Pringles can. I love kale chips. I eat large quantities when no one is home. I don’t know if I will ever have the chutzpah to serve them to guests.

I feel so much better with this weight lifted off my manly chest. I hope if you’re ever confronted by that kale-pushing bully at the farmers market, it won’t be as traumatic as my encounter. Take this tip: When you see her, just politely reply, “Why, yes, I love kale chips. Two bunches please.”

Ciao, Bella!

Kale Chips 1 bunch of kale (rinsed, thoroughly dried) Olive oil Sea salt Directions

•

1 Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees. Tear kale off stem into large pieces. Spread on cookie sheet in one layer. 2 Lightly drizzle or spritz with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Gently toss. 3 Bake for 15–20 minutes until crisp. Keep an eye out…

They go from perfectly crisp to burnt pretty quickly.

• •

Larry’s Tips The curly kale works a little better. Try garlic salt or seasoned salt for extra flavor.

Storm Cleanup You Might Have Forgotten

his monsoon season was the nastiest I can remember. The “Hundred Year Storm” we had a few weeks ago seemed even more devastating than the “Thousand Year Storm” two years ago, at least as far as our friends in New River are concerned. I’ve never seen the flood plains fill up like that before. Kudos to all who pitched in to help them dig out.

of you let it slide and do it less often.

With the extra dust blowing around, change the filters now! You’ll also want to hose down your compressor (the outside unit) to clean the dust and debris from the cooling fins. Don’t use too much pressure or you’ll damage the fins; A gentle spray is fine.

The dust, in addition to the acidic water, makes your pool chemistry go haywire. It’s a real good idea to clean your filtration, check your chemicals, and watch for algae blooms.

I’m hoping that, 1) we’ve seen the Your trees may have survived the last of Mother Nature’s wrath for the year and 2) there isn’t a “Million Year worst of the season but they may be in Storm” somewhere out there, waiting a fragile state.
