At the end of this month we will celebrate the first full year
of the Deer Valley Times and I find myself feeling very thankful for our readers, contributing writers and advertisers.
When our family moved to the North Valley two years ago
from the East Valley, none of us imagined that our search for
hyper-local news and information for our neighborhood would
turn into a full-fledged newspaper and web site for 50,000+
readers (and counting).
Each and every day our team takes calls, answers emails,
goes out on location for stories and visits the advertisers who
make this publication possible and we are grateful for each
and every interaction in our community.
In the past year we’ve grown by enhancing our business circulation as far as Black Canyon City and our residential direct
mail expanded north to each home in Fireside Norterra. We
couldn’t have done it without your readership and we certainly are also grateful for the advertisers that allow us to mail
this publication to your home each and every month. Please
remember to thank them by supporting their local businesses
this season and year-round.
We are also very thankful for our partnership with our student writers at the Deer Valley Unified School District. These
teens take time out of their hectic schedules to communicate
with all of us about events and topics that are important to
them.
Our mission will be to continue to bring local information to
our readers, support our local business community and provide content for young and senior alike!
But, we’re not going to stop there. We read and respond to each and every one of our 600+ submissions each
month and we’ve received some great suggestions to make the Deer Valley Times even better! Look for new
features and programs in the new year!
And last, and certainly not least, we are so very, very grateful to our veterans, both past and present, without
whom things like free speech and this newspaper would not be possible.
From our family to yours, we wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving!

Letters to the Editor
No more headache
In June, 2013, my son was at a soccer clinic at St. Louis
University and received a bad concussion. After returning home to Phoenix a few days later, I contacted Banner
Concussion Clinic located downtown. They were wonderful — truly the front runners in concussions and how to
treat them. They took the time to talk to me and explained
everything that goes on with a concussion and your brain,
as well as explained new tests that are now available. If
taken before a concussion occurs these test will provide a
baseline number to work with should a concussion occur.
In my sons case…we had no baseline.
I wanted to share the Concussion Center information
with your readers. Awareness is so vital and our children
are so important. Adults can also benefit from the center.
They and I encourage everyone to get tested — a small
amount of money for a lifetime of service.
I have enclosed The Banner Concussion Center information. They were my lifesaver in June!

Lost dog
My name is Gayda Forrest and I live here in Phoenix.
My life’s mission right now is to find my dog, Juice. Juice
ran away from my babysitter’s home on Christmas Eve
night. I have not seen her since. The measures I have gone
to and are still going to are many in my effort to find her. I
do know she has not passed. I do feel she is with someone.
Throughout my search I have created many Facebook
pages, mainly to help find Juice, but also to help other
people find dogs that are lost. I hope you’ll visit the pages
and do what you can to help.
Sincerely,
Gayda Forrest

In 2014 social media a “must” not just a “should have”
There are three key steps to social
media success. If you’re attempting
to manage your own social media,
plan on at least five days per week.
Anything less may not have enough
engagement for your followers, allowing them to lose interest and “unfollow” you, negating your efforts. If
you’ve made the decision to entrust
your social media brand to a staff
member because they have a lot of
friends on Facebook, you may also
want to re-think this strategy. After
all, would you allow your administrative assistant to perform open
heart surgery? Your online brand is
the heart of your business; the same
business you have worked countless
hours to grow. Leaving your company in the hands of a novice can
have catastrophic results. According to Forbes.com, “As businesses
Important changes to Google
affecting your web site
As a business owner, one of the things
that typically goes unchecked, is the
web site. After all, once it’s live that’s it,
right? Wrong.
In today’s world of search engine optimization (SEO) your web site needs to
be updated regularly based on several
factors: new key phrases being used to
search for your company, products or
services; blog topics; and how Google
and other search engines rank your site
online.
Google has recently made a change in
the way it ranks sites and it’s the most
significant change in 15 years. This
means that if your web site isn’t keeping
up with how Google looks at your content, your site may have gone from the
top of the searches to the bottom, literally overnight.
Google has labeled this change “The
Hummingbird Algorithm.” Some customers have actually stated their phones
started ringing less within the last two
months because of this change.
If your business needs help with this
web site, you can visit a local company
in Deer Valley called BetterBusinessTogether. There are free and reduced
fee classes as low as $20 to help your
business grow and to help your web site
“keep up” with the current trends.

see these very real and measurable
benefits of social media...we’ll see
a move away from assigning social
media tasks to existing employees,
and see even more companies hiring
social media strategists or full-time
social media managers.”
By following these three key
steps, your business will be on the
road to success.
1) Engage your new and existing
followers. This means you need to
like, share and comment as much on
their pages as you do on your own.
2) Farm for business. Add people
to your Google+ circles, Facebook
likes and Twitter followers by finding people in your geographic location, by commenting on posts from
other companies in your area and
through local groups and blogs.
3) Link to great content on your
Is your business ready
for the holidays?
By Carolyn Andrews
What can you do to make sure you get
your share of the dollars that will be spent
over the holidays? If
you sell a product or
service that would
make a great gift, get
to work on bringing in
those sales!
Prepare your staff
— Review your customer service procedures with them and
be sure they know how
to handle the busy times. If you need extra help, consider hiring temporary staff
to get you through the season.
Have enough stock on hand — Make
sure you have enough merchandise to
get you through the holidays. Contact
vendors to order extra supplies early and
prepare a back-up plan in case you have
surprises.
Create your holiday newsletter —
Make it festive and include some holiday
tips. Don’t have a newsletter? No problem — this is a good time to start. Connecting with your customers regularly is
critical to growing your business.
Make it easy to buy from you — Your
customers are busy and probably frazzled!
Make sure their customer experience is
smooth and flawless. If you are an online
business, make sure all online links, discount codes and checkout processes are
working. Offer customer service support
by phone, so that your customers get help
and/or resolution immediately. In your
store, make sure you clearly list prices
and special offers. Don’t let customers
blog (a blog is a must) and make
sure you are optimizing your blog
and site with the latest Google updates.
Just how much time should the
average person spend on social media? Not including your monthly reporting, analyzing and your 90-day
strategies, you should spend about
two hours per day on the three main
tasks above, five days per week,
minimum. Can’t find two hours in
your day? You’re not alone. It’s going to be more important than ever
(social media appears to be here to
stay) to budget for these services
and find a reputable company who
can help you grow.

classes visit: BetterBusinessTogether.com.
get frustrated and leave you.
Keep track of that valuable marketing information — If you don’t have a
customer relationship management program now, set one up. Capture contact
information, find out if they are a new
customer and how they found you, as
well as information on their purchases. It
will be valuable in your future marketing
efforts.
Learn from the experience — When
the holidays are over, document and analyze how it went. What did you sell? How
did your procedures and systems work?
What staffing levels did you need? What
brought in the most customers? What
made the most profit? This will help you
make decisions in your business and to
prepare for the holidays next year.
Thank your customers — Get your
own shopping done early. Select memorable and affordable gifts for your clients.
Remind them that you appreciate them
and let them know how special they are.
Remember to take care of yourself,
too — the stress of the holidays from a
professional standpoint is high. It can
have a negative effect on your relationships with family and friends. So, don’t
overlook your personal life when it comes
to planning for the upcoming holidays.

Vision 2014 Business
Growth Conference & Expo
Providing a way for local
businesses to inspire each
other, the Vision 2014 Business Growth Conference
and Expo will take place on
November 6 at ASU’s West
Campus. Hosted by the Peoria Chamber of Commerce,
in partnership with the City
of Peoria and ASU, it will
focus on helping business
owners, including nonprofits, succeed and expand
their bottom line. Working
“ON” your business is very
important and this is the
right event for it.
There will be free access
to local experts in social
media, marketing, coaching, customer service and much more.
Keynote speaker Dr. Suzanne Peterson.
W.P. Carey School of Business & Arizona State University, will talk about high
impact leadership. Possessing leadership qualities and displaying leadership
behaviors are key requirements for any
manager who wants to achieve success
through people. Although it is essential to
be an effective leader, much of leadership
remains elusive, nuanced, and intangible.
Participants can kick off the conference
by discussing what high impact leaders
do differently and uniquely to achieve
both results and loyalty in relationships.
The High Impact Leadership approach is
based on the assumption that leadership
is not a temperament, but a choice and
leaders choose how to behave.
If you can’t commit to an entire day,
you may register and attend when you
have time.
Date: November 6
Time: All day
Place: ASU West La Sala Conference
Center at 4701 W. Thunderbird Rd.
Information: Reservations and prepayment are strongly recommended as
space is limited. For more information
and to register please visit www.BusinessGrowthConf.com.

Carrying on their dreams
Free tax preparation volunteers needed
Beware: Buglars posing as city workers
Did you know that the City of Phoenix
offers free tax preparation for individuals or families earning less than $58,000
dollars per year?
The city’s Earned Income Tax Credit
campaign is seeking individuals to become tax assistance volunteers. VITA
volunteers help low-income working individuals and families by preparing their
taxes and claiming the Federal Earned
Income Tax Credit.
The IRS, in partnership with the city of
Phoenix, will be conducting free training sessions from November to January
throughout the city.
“There are different volunteer opportunities available for anyone who wants to
help. Interested parties can volunteer to
be a screener/greeter — they help sign
The City of Phoenix Water Services
Department staff offers this word of
warning to residents. Never open their
door unless they have called the City of
Phoenix themselves to verify information and exactly who is on the other side

Cutrano AZ Troop Run, Inc., is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization created
to provide educational funding in the
form of scholarships to children of fallen
troops from Arizona that served in the
Armed Forces of the United States during the Middle East Conflicts. The organization estimates that there are over 200
families in need right here in Arizona.
The need
There are a number of factors that create the need for Cutrano AZ Troop Run,
Inc.
• Due to privacy laws it is very difficult for military aid organizations to find
families who have lost a loved one.
• Because no central directory of help
exists, it is difficult for families to find
aid.
• Most surviving families have young
children when their loved one is killed
and tend to move back home and away
from the military support network.
Thus, thousands of deserving children
are slipping through the cracks. With
funding being cut from elementary and
high school programs, families are expected to carry more of the financial
burdens of supplies to get started back
to school. In addition, when the government shuts down, as it did recently, military funding is cut off to these families
and kids.
At a minimum, it costs approximately
$150 for school supplies for an individual elementary school student. This does
NOT include the cost for text books, only
the basic fundamentals. Our objective is
to streamline this very complicated, burdensome and insufficient process for our
families.
The funding will be awarded to selected
applicants through the age of 21 for educational necessities (i.e. books, clothing,
basic school supplies, summer camps,
computers, etc.). Cutrano AZ Troop Run
is unique in that a family or child need
only apply once. After that, their names
will be in a database and each year, their
needs will be covered without having to
go through any more red tape.
The roots
Founder AAron Cutrano had a brother,
Tony Cutrano, who was a Navy Veteran.
One day, Tony and a buddy were listening to protestors along Michigan Avenue
in Illinois as the U.S. military was trying
to find Saddam Hussein. The speakers at
the time were denouncing the troops. Angry, Tony and his buddy hopped on their
motorcycles and rode carefully through
the crowd to the stage, where Tony spoke
eloquently, telling them how it was from
a military man’s perspective. The crowd
cheered him when he was done, and that
was the start of the Illinois Freedom Run,
a motorcycle fundraising event to benefit
the families of fallen heroes.
Tony also very much wanted to recognize the soldier killed in more recent
battles with their own memorial wall.
After years of lobbying, he finally convinced Congress to allow him to construct the Middle East Conflicts Wall
in Marseilles, Illinois, where the names
of fallen soldiers are added every day.
Then, tragically, Tony was killed
in a motorcycle accident in May
of 2012. That is when AAron felt
the inspiration to start Cutrano AZ
Troop Run, Inc.
“While at the funeral and in the
following months, I felt like the
universe was pointing me to continue my brother’s work here in
Arizona but on my own terms, my
own ideas,” says Cutrano. “I met
veteran after veteran who knew
my brother and who had been
helped by his organization. Then
I met Elana Zinder, whose brother
is currently serving as an Admiral
in the Navy. We clicked with the
same ideas and vision. Her organizational skills and dedication to
military families came just at the right
time. With my family military background and father being a Chicago police
officer, I wanted to honor my brother’s
memory, so with Elana’s help; we founded Cutrano AZ Troop Run., Inc.
Fundraisers
Each year, Cutrano AZ Troop Run, hosts
two major fundraising events in May and
November (pig roasts, car shows, etc.)
and many smaller ones (partnering with
restaurants for a fundraiser day).
“This year, our fall fundraiser is going to be something very special. On
November 16, the Military Fall Festival
will take place at Turf Paradise,1500 W.
Bell Rd. in Phoenix, from 12 – 6 p.m.
The entry fee is $5 per person, children
under 12 get in free. There will be festival games, a petting zoo and pony rides,
a mechanical bull, a display of military
vehicles, classic cars and motorcycles,
guest speakers, live music (Chad Freeman & Redline and Chuck DeFlorio &
Joe Grotto Show), and family fun for all
ages not to mention the great horse racing
that day,” says Zinder. “We are expecting 10,000 – 15,000 people to attend the
event, so it is going to be very exciting.”
Tickets for rides/games will be available
for purchase at the event.
Guest speakers will include Keith
Richards, U.S. Navy veteran; Patrick
Mayes, U.S. Air Force veteran and current Phoenix police officer; as well as
Jim Taylor, U.S. Air Force veteran and
current member of the Maricopa County
Sheriff’s Department.
Chad Freeman and Redline, a high energy country and southern rock group, is
the headliner band for the event. Freeman
has played in Gilley’s in Las Vegas, for
NASCAR events, at the Fiesta Bowl, at
the Nashville CMA Fest, and much more.
Freeman is a strong supporter of Cutrano
AZ Troop Run. He says, “Both my father and grandfathers were in the Navy,
so I have strong ties to the military. I got
into music to make people smile and it is
rare when you can be in a job that allows
you to do that. Now I love working with
AAron Cutrano and Cutrano AZ Troop
Run to make military families smile.”
Chad Freeman and Redline created the
song, Six Gun Soldier, which plays on
the Cutrano AZ Troop Run website.
“We had a good bit of luck this year.
The Mayo Clinic has a Yellow Ribbon
Club that frequently helps other organizations in the area. This year, their volunteers offered to staff our event and with
their help, nearly ¾ of our volunteers are
coming from them,”says Zinder.
An iconic image
On the Cutrano AZ Troop Run website,
you’ll notice the photo of the young lady
wrapped in the flag. Her name is Amy
Richie and she is a volunteer with Cutrano AZ Troop Run. “I’m proud to promote
the organization and work with AAron in
any capacity, and I’m especially proud
that the photo of me will help capture attention for this deserving cause.”

people into the program and make sure
they have all the proper documentation
with them. Site coordinators help to coordinate volunteer hours, oversee the site
where the tax preparation takes place and
attend to any software problems. The
most important volunteer positions are
the tax preparers. These great volunteers
prepare the tax files and e-file them on
behalf of the individuals who are seeking assistance,” says Briselda Rodriguez,
Community Initiative Specialist/City of
Phoenix VITA Coordinator. “Last year,
we completed over 5,000 tax returns and
earned the people who sought our help a
total refund amount of $7.3 million!”

Metal theft update
Metal theft — especially the theft of
precious copper wiring and air conditioning coils — is becoming an increasing problem in big cities across the country, as well as in the Deer Valley Area.
Recently, the Arizona Legislature passed
HB2262, a law that amends the Statutes
which pertain to scrap metal dealers.
Perhaps the most pertinent part of the
law is that all scrap metal transactions
must be submitted to the statewide metal
theft database, whereas previously only
transactions above $25 were required to
be submitted. Additionally, the prohibited scrap metal transaction statute now
classifies all violations as a class 1 misdemeanor, whereas previously a classification had not been cited.
All law enforcement agencies in the
state, along with all scrap yards are required to register on a free theft notification website. This will permit both
law enforcement and scrap yards to post
photographs and list descriptions of suspicious and stolen material, enabling collaboration in identifying suspects who
are trafficking in stolen property.
In addition, all scrap yards are now required to register with the statewide metal theft database. The scrap yard will be
issued a proof of registration that must be
displayed in a prominent area. Citizens
should watch for this registration so they
know they are dealing with a registered
business.
Any transaction that involves air-conditioning condenser coils will be paid by
mailing a check to the seller’s address
on their driver’s license, or the industrial
account registered address. In the past,
community members in Phoenix have
suffered losses of approximately $30-40
million dollars due to the theft of air-conditioning condenser coils.
Police throughout the state are receiving special training to highlight the state
laws that pertain to metal theft and to
provide information on how to conduct
metal theft investigations, as well as how
to use of the statewide metal theft database.
is no reason for Water Services staff to request entry to a home since service ends
at the meter outside of the home. Imposter burglars can pose as utility workers,
repair specialists, security salesmen or
any number of occupations. Typically,
one person will create a distraction while
another steals property and/or personal
information. Many times, the elderly are
targeted.

Another large gain in
home values for 2013
By Amy Gerrish
As we round out the 3rd quarter for 2013, the number of closed sales have showed
a significant increase in home values for the Deer Valley market.
Most of this year showed plenty of buyers with the money and qualifications to
buy.
• 36% of all purchases were from buyers who paid all cash.
• 64% of the buyers were financed or used alternative methods to cash.
• 82.4% of the buyers that used financing went with conventional loans, which usually require more money down.
• Only 16.6% of the buyers used the FHA or VA low down payment option. That
statistic is important because it shows the quality of the buyers is still very high.
Sky Harbor announces new flights to Mexico
Volaris, the largest, Mexican, low-cost
airline, arrived in Phoenix in mid-October with its initial flight from Guadalajara, Mexico. In June the airline announced
that it will begin service at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport with two cities; Guadalajara and Mexico City, three
times weekly to each. The Mexico City
start date will be December 4, 2013.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, Councilmembers Nowakowski and Simplot
and Arizona business and tourism leaders traveled to Guadalajara for meetings
with their counterparts and returned on
the first Volaris flight, along with the
Volaris CEO, Enrique Beltranena.
Upon landing in Phoenix, Mayor Stanton said, “We are so fortunate in this
community to have another way to welcome our friends, family and business
partners from Mexico, thanks to Volaris.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is continuing to recover from the national economic downturn and new airlines joining our airport
is true evidence of that,” he added.
The Mayor went on to say that he is
looking forward to additional service being announced on Volaris as well as ex-

“Grants are submitted to the Neighborhood Watch Council and those that meet
the guidelines are passed up to city council for approval,” says Sergeant Tommy
Thompson of the Phoenix Police Department. “Different types or neighborhood
associations use the money for different

Phoenix lifts fire ban from parks

and have open fires in fire rings in picnic
areas and can continue to use propane

The Parks and Recreation Department
lifted the ban because recent rains and
cooler temperatures allow for safe use

effect May 9 and applied to Camelback

apply to traditional city parks.
Cooler weather also means hiking season is here. Comprehensive information
on the Phoenix preserve trails is available online at phoenix.gov/parks in the
Trails and Preserves section.
Those overall 2013 numbers are very positive for the market. However, if we focus
on the 4th quarter number of pending and active sales, we are seeing a bit of a slow
down. This is normal going into the end of the year. However, if we don’t see this
start to shift mid-1st quarter 2014, this will be a sign that the market is going from a
strong sellers market into a more normalized market for buyers and sellers. Buyers
have not had much control or negotiation power because of the strong sellers market,
but they could have a greater opportunity in 2014 if the noted 4th quarter slow down
continues into 2014. Interest rates are still comparatively low in the mid 4% range.

Education
SDOHS first school in DVUSD to pilot
tech-rich program
By Taylor Cole
Sandra Day O’Connor High School is
the first school in the Deer Valley Unified
School District to test pilot a tech-rich
initiative that promotes the heavy use of
technology in the classroom.
“It’s 2013 – the old put that away, you
can’t have that out is not working,” said
Nicole Duquette, Assistant Principal at
SDOHS. “It’s not best practice for today’s student’s learning style; it’s just not
an enforceable expectation.”
Students are currently permitted to use
their own devices to engage in learning,
but they must use the signal that they own
in order to access the Internet because the
SDOHS network is not yet open.
“We have started adding more server
hubs, more signal strength, [and] physically wiring in what we need so that we
can create a special Wi-Fi network,” Duquette said. “The network will be available for students before the end of the
fall semester.”
“Pilot teachers” have been designing
lessons and projects that will engage the
students through devices. They will then
help assigned teaching partners to adapt
to the new use of technology in order
to begin implementing one-to-one. Approximately one thousand students will
have temporary access to an iPad.
“Teachers are going to be using meaningful technology in a way that is engaging to students,” Duquette said. “Students
will be using technology … to acquire
the learning, to collaborate on the learning, and to demonstrate their mastery of
the learning.”
To allocate funds to pay for technology
provided by the district, the governing
board has independently decided to seek
a $158.3 million bond from registered
voters in November. If the bond is approved, the school district will be able to
support, with the help of students who
bring their own devices, a tech-rich pro-
gram on all five high school campuses in
the school district.
Since 2008, educational funding in Arizona decreased, and for a couple of those
years we’ve led the nation in the greatest
cut to education. It would not be a realistic goal to get five schools that have
a student population of approximately
1,500 each to tech-rich without allowing
students to bring their own device.
The committee is not yet sure how to
define success of this program. According to Duquette, their intention is to a use
continuous improvement approach with
the pilot and reflect on what worked and
didn’t work.
“We know that we must – not must
– we are duty bound in the 21st century
to teach students how to effectively and
efficiently use technology as a form of
communication,” said Duquette. “If we
don’t do that for our students they are not
prepared to compete in a global marketplace.”
If the pilot works out all of the kinks,
“tech-rich” can be launched campuswide with one to three high schools in
August 2014, and all five high schools
by 2015.
DVHS alma mater bonds students
By Taneal Ogles
News Editor, The Skyhawk Flight,
Deer Valley High School
A new tradition has been implemented
this year that brings the Deer Valley High
School varsity football team, spirit line
and marching band together at the conclusion of each home football game.
x
Each group learned the Deer Valley
Alma Mater and performs it using their
voices or instruments. There has been a
multitude of positive feedback from students, parents and staff alike that ratifies
the coming together of the three separate
groups on campus. Varsity football coach
Eric Bolus instituted the new ritual with
the help of band instructor David Kuhn

and choir director Scott Sims. The alma
mater was originally written to be sung
solely by the choir; however, Kuhn was
able to adapt the music for the band to
play. Sims was in charge of teaching the
athletes to sing the tune and after the
game, Gordon Willford, marching band
director, leads them.
“As a graduate of this school I have a lot
of pride in it. I wanted to instill that pride
back in the school,” said Bolus. He isn’t
the only person who has felt that unity
amongst students on campus has gotten
a little lost over the last several years.
By having the spirit line, football team
and marching band join together it serves
as an example of how the entire student
body can support one another. The new
program has received a huge amount of
positive feedback from students, staff
and parents alike. All of those involved
in performing the alma mater have enjoyed it.
“When cheer, pom, football and band
all come together to perform the alma
mater it gives our school a sense of unity.
After a big win or a big loss we can all
sing and display the pride we have in
Deer Valley,” said Alyssa Nava, junior
and member of pom.
The performance of the alma mater is
building a bridge between the team and
band, just as Bolus had hoped it would.
“The alma mater is a fantastic way to
unify DV. It’s inspiring how instead of
making fun of marching band, the football players and spirit line sing along as
we play,” said Toni-Lyn Quiroz, senior.
“For me, singing the alma mater gives
me pride in my school and for the team.
With all the adversity we have faced this
year we need to stay strong and come
together as one. We’re bringing school
spirit back,” said Michael Foster, junior.

Family
Spending is trending
this holiday season
By Katie Snyder
What you need to know about staying out of debt going into the end of the
year.
With the holidays just around the corner, many families find themselves filled
with stress as expectations run high and
the pressure to buy the latest gadgets and
fashions for everyone weighs heavily on
the mind.
And, while you may go into the holidays
with good intensions, experts say it’s not
uncommon for people to become victims
of impulse buying and overspending.
“As certain items dwindle on the store
shelves, many people find themselves
searching for last minute gifts to please
friends and family,” says Trevor Bush,
vice president and manager, Arizona
retail banking division at Washington
Federal. “As a result, many of them find
themselves whipping out credit cards
and going into debt in hopes of creating
the perfect holiday experience.”
But is the debt really worth it?
Unfortunately, it isn’t until after the
New Year when the credit card bill comes
and what was meant as a good gesture
quickly turns into regret. According to a
survey done by Consumer Reports, about
12 million Americans are still paying off
credit card debt purchases made from
last holiday season.
“Often people don’t realize how much
money they’re spending until January
— when the credit card bills come,” said
Bush. “It’s at this time that they wish
they had spent less money on gifts, less
time in stores shopping, and less money
on themselves while shopping for gifts.”
Ending the holidays steeped in debt
is hardly worth the satisfaction of getting everyone in your family the hottest
new holiday gadget. While it’s easy to
get caught up in the holiday spirit when
looking for gifts, don’t forget the importance of making good financial decisions
to avoid any holiday regret.
So, how can you avoid suffering from a
debt hangover this season?
“Create a budget and stick with it,” says
Bush. “Before you start spending, do a
little math and figure out how much you
can afford.”
A general rule of thumb is to use the “1.5
rule.” Don’t spend more than 1.5 percent
of your total gross income on holiday-re-
lated expenses. If you’re already in debt,
consider spending less than one percent.
His other suggestions:
Be Creative
Many people on your list would enjoy
a box of cookies or a homemade meal
more than an expensive gift. Don’t stress
about spending a ton of money on every
person, think about those people on your
list that might enjoy something homemade.
Make a list
Before you head out the door to hit all
those Black Friday sales, make a list of
all the people you need or want to buy
gifts for and a budget for each. Also,
don’t forget to consider expenses for any
holiday-related decorations or necessities such as cards, entertainment, etc.
Save with sales
From online sales to coupons and discounts—consumers can help save during
the holidays by simply doing some research. Before heading out to shop, make
sure to check out the weekly sales ads.
Consider cash before credit
Avoid unnecessary and impulsive purchases by leaving the credit cards at
home when shopping. Instead, opt to
use cash or a debit card to help you stay
within your budget. If you do use a credit
card, spend wisely and pay off any debt
immediately.
Say no to store cards
Resist the temptation of getting store
credit cards. The low introductory interest rates may seem enticing but that rate
will expire–and sooner than you think.
Avoid last minute shopping
Plan your shopping trips in advance
and shop as early as possible. Be organized when it comes to getting gifts to
avoid paying extra for last minute gift
purchases.
If you’re looking to make the most of
your money this season, planning how to
shop is perhaps the best way to ensure
your holidays won’t be spoiled by a huge
credit card bill come January.
“By developing and sticking with a
holiday spending plan, you can enjoy
the holiday season and avoid suffering
a financial hangover after the first of the
year” said Bush.

DVHS November
sports update
By Justin Dahl
Sports Editor, The Skyhawk Flight,
The Arizona Interscholastic Association has relinquished the probation on all
Deer Valley High School athletics. The
school’s athletics program was put on
probation in September when two football players who were ineligible at the
time were allowed to play without being
cleared first by the AIA. The DV administration called for a special meeting set
on October 8 with the AIA to appeal the
decision. The school won the appeal just
in time for the first state tournament of
the year, allowing the girls’ badminton
team to be eligible to play for state championship titles on October 18.
The student body, teachers, and coaches are all thrilled with the decision. Many
students still wonder why all of the sports
were put on probation in the first place.
The Deer Valley Skyhawks have many
upcoming sports in the winter time, so
the decision to allow the teams in playoffs has been embraced by winter and
spring athletes.
Upcoming winter sports include boys’
basketball, led by head coach Jed Dunn,
and girls’ basketball, under the leadership of head coach Stacy Spencer. Also
coming up are boys’ soccer, coached by
Ryan Whitney, and girls’ soccer, led by
Michelle Bodily. Wrestling is another
sport hoping for another great season and
will be lead again by head coach Dave
Severn. All of those sports officially start
in December, but tryouts, preseason practices, and training have already begun.
Starting in December ... Boys & Girls Basketball, Boys &
Girls Soccer, Wrestling. Tryouts and preseason practices
have already begun.

Probation lifted from all
sports programs
The probationary status for Deer
Valley High School sports was lifted at
a special session of the AIA governing
board in early October for all sports
and on October 21 for the football
team. This means that all Deer Valley
High School sports teams will be able to
participate in post season competitions
and state tournaments.
The controversy began this fall when
school officials allowed two juniors to
play in the season opener, after the AIA
Executive Board had denied the players’
hardship transfers. Three days later, the
players’ won their appeals with the AIA,
becoming eligible the rest of the season.
However, the decision of school officials
to play the students before they were eligible led to the AIA placing all of Deer
Valley High’s sports on probation.
Now all teams are eligible for post season play, however, the football team will
continue under advisement.
A statement issued by the Deer Valley
Unified School District said, “From the
outset, it was Deer Valley’s belief that
students should not be held accountable
for the actions of adults. The investigation, district actions, and the outcome of
our appeal, support that final belief.”
“In our opinion, district administrators demonstrated the values of accountability, cooperation and integrity by
upholding the rules established by our
membership,’’ said Chuck Schmidt, AIA
Associate Executive Director.
The AIA did indicate that it wanted the
Deer Valley Unified School District to
hold those responsible for the violation
accountable. “While we cannot comment
on personnel issues, the district has taken
appropriate administrative and disciplinary actions,” says spokesperson Heidi
Vega.
In fact, The Deer Valley Unified School
District Governing Board held a special
meeting on Thursday, October 17, for
the requested discipline appeal regarding
Mrs. Barbara Dobbs, Deer Valley High
School Principal and Mr. John Allen,
Deer Valley High School Assistant Principal and Athletic Director.
“At the request of both employees, the
discipline appeals were held in executive
session. Immediately following both appeals, the Board took action in an open
session to the public and denied both appeals made by Dobbs and Allen and accepted the disciplinary decisions set forth
by the District,” says Vega.
“We are grateful that the AIA’s decision
focused on the importance of our students
and we will continue to work with them
to ensure the values of accountability are
supported throughout the school and district community,” Vega added.
We offer an hourly rate, square footage rate,
and flat rate depending on the type of work.

You’ve just been in a
crash … now what?
By Stephanie Dembowski
There were more than 100,000 crashes
in Arizona in 2012, which comes out to
an average of nearly 300 crashes per day.
Nearly 70 percent of them occurred in
Maricopa County.
“Being involved in a crash is a scary
experience,” said Brad Oltmans, vice
president of insurance for AAA Arizona.
“As an insurance resource, AAA can
guide you through the post-crash process
in the unfortunate event you are involved
in a collision.”
Safety first
If anyone is injured, call 9-1-1 immediately. If you’re able to, move cars to the
side of the road out of the way of traffic.
If cars cannot be moved, drivers should
set out cones, flares or warning triangles
if they have them. Then, get in and stay
in the cars with seatbelts fastened until
help arrives.
Next, you need to gather information.
AAA Insurance has a free, handy app
that will help walk you through the process of what to do following a crash so
you don’t miss anything:
• Store your contact and auto insurance
policy information in the app no matter
who you are insured with. This includes
your policy number, drivers and vehicles
and vehicle owners on your policy.
• Request a tow. If your car is not driveable, make an immediate tow request
electronically or by phone from the scene
of the accident through the app.
• Gather important information about
the accident needed to submit a claim.
This includes witness contact info. The
app will allow you to input the name, address, phone number, insurance company
and policy number of the other driver as
well as their driver’s license and license
plate number. This includes photos of the
scene and any damage to vehicles and
property and report the accident to your
insurance company as soon as you can.
• Take photos. If and only if it’s safe,
take pictures to document the damage to
all the vehicles. Keep in mind that you
want your photos to show the overall
context of the accident so that you can
make your case to a claims adjuster.
• File a crash report. Drivers should file
a state vehicle accident report, which is
available at police stations and on the
Department of Motor Vehicles Web site
as a downloadable file. A police report
often helps insurance companies speed
up the claims process.
AAA recommends drivers always carry
an emergency kit with a cell phone and
charger. If your phone doesn’t have a
camera, keep a disposable one in the car
to take photos of the scene, and a medical
card with information about allergies or
other conditions.
“Car crashes are jarring enough. It’s
great that we have this app that makes
gathering info and submitting a claim
simple – plus it’s free,” said Oltmans.
“It’s one of many ways that AAA is there
when you need us most.”

2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
¾ C pearl barley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 T fresh parsley, chopped
2 T dry sherry
Heat the oil in a good size soup pot over
medium heat. Add the onion and cook,
stirring frequently, until golden brown…
but no more. Add the carrots, celery,
parsnips and mushrooms. Stir well to
combine with the onions. Cover, cook
over low heat for 3-4 minutes. Remove
the cover, add broth and barley. Bring to
a simmer and cook until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper, then stir in the sherry, and
serve.
Note: Go wild with your favorite selection of mushrooms. And always make the
full recipe…this is great the next day.

We want to thank our friends at TLC
Child Enrichment Center for these great
suggestions!
Fall and winter breaks are a great time
to reconnect with your kids and we’ve
put together some ideas for spending
quality time with the family this holiday
season.
According to Kids County Data Center, 36% of Phoenix kids under age 18
live in families below the federal poverty
income level. There are opportunities to
help by collecting cans of food, or just
cleaning out your cupboards and giving the extras to families. You can also
have the kids go into their closets and
give clothing, shoes and toys they’ve
outgrown to local shelters. You can even
drop them at TLC and we’ll donate them

for you!
Remember the movie classics as a
child? Make some popcorn the “old-fashioned” way on the stove, pop in a holiday
flick and bond with your kids. Remember when you first saw Miracle on 34th
Street? These old movies can change a
child’s perspective.
When was the last time you took 20
minutes and baked cookies from scratch
with the kids helping out? Not only can
the process be enjoyable, but the eating
is amazing!
Send us your family’s favorite activity
and we might share it in the December
issue of Deer Valley Times. Deadline for

A line out the door of the Rock Springs
Café is not an unusual sight to see. Located 20 miles North of Deer Valley, off
Exit 242 on Interstate 17, the famous
café has a gorgeous view of the Bradshaw Mountains and it boasts that it has
the best pie in the state..
The café offers a homey feel and the
smells make you think instantly of good,
old-fashioned home cooking. The restaurant is best known for its pies. Many visitors, residents of Phoenix or from abroad,
come to try the famous pastries that vary
from their popular Jack Daniels pecan
pie to their seasonal pie, mixed berry.
“The pies are so popular that we bring
in a million dollars a year, just in pies,”
said Kandace Pashby, a waitress at the
restaurant. Thanksgiving and around the
holidays are when the demand for pies is
high, so order early if you want to take
one home. The pie checkout area, where
guests can grab a pie out of the fridge to
go, is always busy.
Not only known for their pies, the Rock
Springs Café offers fresh food ranging
from pan fried catfish all the way to the
wild turkey sandwich. The big menu offers something for even the pickiest eaters.

BBQ sauce homegrown in
the South and now in Phoenix
Nearly 100 hundred years ago, two
brothers, Clarence and Mike, were businessmen working along the the Ohio
River Basin. Clarence owned a dairy and
Mike ran bootleg. They delivered their
wares into the hills and hollers of northern Kentucky to a grateful citizenry.
To avoid the revenuers, they hit upon an
ingenious idea – they’d load up the milk
delivery wagon with whisky and deliver
both, since their client list was virtually
identical. Along the way, the brothers
often stopped at Bowe’s Bar-B-Q. The
joint had existed since the Civil War and
was known to travelers for hundreds of
miles around and billed that it had the
“best barbecue in the south.” The recipe
was a closely guarded secret.
It just so happens, that the owners of
Bowe’s also loved good Kentucky sipping whisky and ran up a high tab with
the brothers. Well, when it came time to
pay the bill, Bowe’s couldn’t come up
with the money. The brothers offered to
settle the debt for the secret recipe for the
barbecue sauce. Bowe’s was stricken, but
after many long and difficult discussions,
the recipe was passed on. The brothers
promised to never divulge the secret and
the family has kept its word … the secret
to this 175 year old sauce remains a mystery to this day.
The current family members, Michael J.
Crook, and wife Deanne S. Crook (Mike
and Dede), are now making their sauce
available to residents in Phoenix and the
rest of the world, although the ingredients
still remain a closely guarded secret.
“We moved to Phoenix in 1976 and
pursued our fulltime careers until retirement,” says Mike. “After about a month
of sitting around, my wife and I were
both going crazy. Through the years,
we had served the barbecue sauce to our
guests and everyone said they loved it!
Well, who would ever tell the hosts that
their BBQ was bad? So once we decided
we needed something to keep us busy,
we started trying to find people we didn’t
know to test the sauce. We had fantastic
feedback and produced a large batch for
sale at the Phoenix Public Market and
people went crazy over it. Hence the
OKB BBQ Sauce Company was born.
“You can purchase any of our fine
products at The Phoenix Public Market,
Hilton Village Farmer’s Market, Power
Road Farmers Market and we are expanding every day,” says Mike. “Or you can
order this famous sauce online at www.
OKBSauce.com. We are offering free delivery for a limited time in Phoenix metropolitan area if you order online!

Located very near Cave Creek is a Native American ruin perched high atop a
windswept ridge. Around 1050 AD, a
small band of Hohokam Indians built a
community on this ridge — five buildings with 40 rooms — home to about
100 people who ate, slept, had children
and watched the horizon for almost 150
years. The view from their front “terrace”
is one of the most beautiful in Arizona.
The panoramic scenery includes views
of Four Peaks, Weaver’s Needle, the
Superstition Mountains, Red Mountain,
Pinnacle Peak, the blue jewel of Bartlett
Lake, and miles and miles of pristine Sonoran Desert.
The Hohokam survived by cultivating
the streambeds below the ruin. Using
only the simplest of tools, they grew corn,
beans, squash, blossoms, dry seeds and
agave. Cotton was grown for both food
(the seeds can be ground and formed into
cakes) and clothing.
The fall and winter months are a great
time to visit the ruins. The U.S. Forest
Service has created a ½-mile hiking trail
to help you get to the top of the ridge and
you want plenty of cool air when you
make the hike. From the paved parking
area (with terrific picnic tables and shelters) and nearby information center, the
trail climbs to the top of the ridge and
then circles back to the parking lot. Even
for those in decent shape, it is a bit of a
workout. However, informational signs
along the way provide the perfect reason
to stop and catch your breath — and so
does the view.
The informational signs build a strong
picture of the daily life of these hardy
people ... how they built the ruins, how
they cultivated the land, their daily activities and many other details that bring
these people, for a brief time, into focus
for the visitor.
Once atop the ridge, walking among the
tumbled walls, you can easily imagine
the fort-like structure these ancient Native Americans created. It is easy to envision the courtyard and terrace area where
the community worked and played, as
well as the walls that must have served
a defensive purpose. The defensive walls
offers an explanation as to why the Hohokam chose to build their community at
this lofty height, as does the 360-degree
view of the surrounding territory, which
must have afforded ample warning of approaching friends or enemies.
Wander for a time through the echoes
of days past, then continue along the trail
as it climbs down the far side of the ridge
and loops back to the parking area. Winding down the steep hill, the trail passes
next to an enormous oblong boulder,
carefully balanced on its end. This sig-
nificant landmark must surely have been
a trail marker for travelers and a signpost
of home for the Hohokam people who
once lived there.
Directions to Sears-Kay Ruin
Head east on Cave Creek Road out of
Carefree. Travel approximately 3 miles

So, now, Ed can go
the distance.
For more than 55 years, Ed’s bowed legs
had taken a serious toll on his knees. So
when his condition led to osteoarthritis
and the pain became too much to bear,
he looked to John C. Lincoln for double
knee replacement. With our advanced
procedures that improved the longevity of
his new knees, Ed can now go the distance.
And he’s leaving his past in the dust.
