Lagas said she began communicating with people all over the

grown significantly. Now, the organization has board members

terms like wax, honey and butter may sound pretty innocent to
parents, but the words are actually the latest terms for marijuana, according to Stephanie Siete,
director of community education
for Community bridges.
Siete will be sharing these
terms and more with parents during two community forums hosted
by the tempe union High School
District in partnership with the
tempe Coalition for underage
Drinking. the first workshop will
be on April 7 at mcClintock High
School. A second will be on April
8 at mountain Pointe High School.
both will go from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
“i’ve done this for a long time
and the presentation about drugs
scares people,” Siete said. “we retitled it ‘being in the know.’ we
want people to be knowledgeable
about drugs like wax, butter, bHo,
honey, powdered alcohol, e-cigarettes. they’re all known as ‘kiddie’ drugs, marijuana and alcohol,
but they’re in a new format today.
i think a lot of parents think about
old-school drugs, but they’re not
familiar with the new ones.”
Siete said her presentation,
which comes from local police
and drug enforcement organizations across the country, will
give parents information on all
forms of marijuana and alcohol.
She’ll also give parents information about what she called the
“crisis in America” — prescription pain killers.

when Ahwatukee Foothills resident Sharon Lagas lost her brother at the age of 38 and in the same
month found out her two young
sons and two nieces had the same
disease, she did what any mother
would do and started looking for
ways to help and ways to cope.
unfortunately what Lagas found
was that the disease her brother
had died from, the disease she carried and had passed down to her
own children, Alport Syndrome,
was rare enough that there were
no groups dedicated solely to providing information on it. in 2007,
she started the first one, the Alport Syndrome Foundation.
“my story is not unique,” Lagas
said. “A lot of Alport Syndrome

Following last week’s fatal accident on Pecos Road, many are
questioning the safety of the intersection at Pecos Road and 17th
Avenue.
on thursday, the city named a
new street transportation director, Ray Dovalina Jr., and he was
greeted right away with a letter
from Councilman Sal DiCiccio,
asking him to look into incidents
at the intersection.
“this is the second cyclist fatality at this location since 2013,”
DiCiccio wrote in the letter. “this
is unacceptable. the city of Phoenix must find a way to make this
intersection safe for both motorists and cyclists. i am very concerned, as are the many residents
of that area who have contacted
my office since yesterday calling
for action by the city of Phoenix to
make the intersection safe.”
DiCiccio said he has concerns

industries such as plumbing, landscaping, painting, housekeeping, handyman
and much more. Premium inside back cover placement. Ad dimensions are
1.575 x 2.25 inches. All ad positions are only available in black and white.
INTERACTIVE SOLUTIONS
The future is now! If you have not been advertising online, you are missing a tremendous
amount of revenue that is going to your competitors who are taking advantage of multiple digital solutions. With a robust digital product platform that encompasses everything
from digital display to front-page advertising on Google, Arizona Local Media strives to
drive results through the power of the internet.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
With the power of digital display you can monitor results, which
include impressions as well as clicks so you can determine if your
online message is seeing a return on investment. Ad positions
include leaderboard and medium rectangle, drop down, peel back,
expandable, sequenced, back drop, and much more.
VIDEO ADVERTISING
Increase online exposure and get your message out to
the growing population of video users online. Our video
production is simple, to the point, and built to engage
your customers. All video is shot in high definition (HD) and
implemented onto YouTube.com. Production includes a
basic shoot and edit, minimum of 1 hour of HD shooting, full
editing with graphics, music and a completed video from 30
seconds to a 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
NATIVE ADVERTISING
Native advertising is the next generation of rich media
advertising. Have something you want to tell readers without
a traditional advertising block? Then native advertising is the
way to go. A native advertisement is an advanced advertorial.
While it’s still a paid advertisement, native advertising feels less
intrusive and thus increases the likelihood users will click on
your site, seek your services or buy your products.
EMAIL MARKETING
Another resource Arizona Local Media provides is email messaging.
Through our extensive database, we can reach thousands through our
weekly newsletters and specially-crafted email blasts.
INTERACTIVE SOLUTIONS
DIRECT-MAIL POSTCARDS
Stand out amongst the competition with a highly targeted
direct-mail campaign! These full color, high quality glossy
postcards are mailed directly to customers using data analysis to
find carrier routes based on your businesses database. Mailing
options include saturation of specific area or mailing to specific
addresses with chosen demographics, including presence of
children/female, income, home value and age.
RESPONSIVE WEBSITE DESIGN
Create the best user experience on all devices. Say goodbye to
spending money on multiple website updates. This cutting-edge
technology provides one website for your business that adjusts to the
size and resolution for every device – automatically! Get all the features
you need on one platform and easy-to-use content management
system. Now you can save time and money that can be put back into
your business. It’s just that easy!
REPUTATION MONITORING
Know what customers are saying about you. Don’t let bad reviews
shut you down. Everyone has an opinion and the internet provided the
megaphone. With 70% of consumers trusting online reviews, you can’t
afford to ignore what’s being said online. Monitoring and addressing
your online reputation has never been easier with your online dashboard.
LIST OPTIMIZATION
Get Listed. Get Found. Get customers. Are you losing customers due
to incorrect contact info? If a customer cannot reach you, you have
just lost out on a potential sale. Get more customers by increasing
your online credibility. Maintain up-to-date, consistent and visible
business information across top search engines and directories.
RETARGETING
Regain lost customers. Don’t miss out on lost business.
Today’s customers take time to research and reflect before
making a purchasing decision. Now you can keep in touch
and stay relevant to customers throughout their buying
decision. Plus, increase return visits to your website.
