#5 – Learn Emergency Response – Queen Creek & Gilbert Team Up!

August 28, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

The Town of Queen Creek is accepting applications for a new program to train citizens for local emergencies! The next session begins August 31, 2010. The CERT program is a 20-hour course given over an eight-week period. Training sessions include disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, and team operations.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program that helps better prepare individuals to respond to emergency situations in the community. The Valley isn’t exactly known for hurricanes, tornadoes or earthquakes, so officials are focusing on other threats they say pose real dangers.

Mayor John Lewis, who will participate in Gilbert’s Community Preparedness Fair on Sept. 11, said one of the biggest threats to the region could come in the form of a hazardous-material spill along the Union Pacific Railroad that cuts through both communities.

A great idea would be for a group of neighbors, school employees or your HOA to apply. If need be the organization will constitute one class for you.

Queen Creek will conduct four CERT training classes throughout the year. Class sizes are limited to 25 participants. Town residents will be given priority over non-residents.

Gilbert conducts CERT training with a 21-hour course spanning seven weeks. (see Gilbert’s web site)

All classes are held at Queen Creek Town Hall, 22350 S. Ellsworth Road

Aug. 31st- Oct. 12th (6:30-8:30 p.m., Tuesdays)

Training Topics
1. Disaster Preparedness
2. Fire Suppression
3. Medical Operations I
4. Medical Operations II
5. Light Search & Rescue
6. Team Organization/Terrorism/Disaster Psychology

For more information, contact the Queen Creek Fire Department at 480-358-3360.

#2 – Arizona Museum For Youth “Play Ball” – Mesa, Arizona

August 25, 2010 By Candace Leave a Comment

The Play Ball exhibition is open at the Arizona Museum for Youth. The City of Mesa, which owns the youth-oriented museum, and the Mesa Historical Museum, which owns rights to the Cactus League history project are partnered to run the Play Ball: The Cactus League Experience show now until November 7, 2010.

It’s been pretty successful as this is it’s second season here in the Valley of the Sun. Plans are already underway for its third season in 2011, likely to include taking the show on the road to the home cities of all 15 Major League teams that warm up each spring in Arizona.

Baseball has deep roots in Arizona dating back to 1909. Chicago’s White Stockings (White Sox) are the first Major League team to play in Arizona.

The Cactus League has grown since the inauguration in 1947. The Arizona Museum for Youth has the history of the Cactus League on display. The interactive and educational exhibition will treat visitors with stories about the players, teams and ball parks.

The kids are able to dress up as their favorite baseball player and practice their swing, design their own pennant, construct a 3-D puzzle and more. The impressive artifacts and nostalgia feel will intrigue young and old. Be sure to add the Play Ball exhibition to your calendar before November 7, 2010.

Times: Tues – Sat, 10 – 4; Sun, noon – 4; free parking
Arizona Museum For Youth site
Location: Arizona Museum for Youth, 35 N. Robson St., Mesa
Phone: 480-644-2467
Admission: $6.50 for everyone over 1 year of age

Get into downtown Mesa’s Arizona Museum of Natural History, Arizona Museum for Youth and Mesa Contemporary Arts galleries at no cost, thanks to a grant from Target.

#1 – Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor – “Old Town” Scottsdale

August 24, 2010 By Candace Leave a Comment

Since 1958, the Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor/Restaurant has been serving American food and delicious ice cream treats to tourist and dedicated customers alike. The 1950′s soda fountain seats 10, table service seats 100. The Sugar Bowl can even accommodate a reservation party room seating up to 40.

I was introduced to the Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor over 20 years ago and it has remained virtually the same in menu items, décor and location since the beginning. The Sugar Bowl is honored to be a designated Founding Business of Scottsdale and placed on Scottsdale’s Historic Preservation Register.

If your in the area of ” Old Town” Scottsdale be sure to stop by the Sugar Bowl. Experience a full menu, fountain treats with a nostalgia feel with family and friends and make it a fun filled afternoon or night.

The Sugar Bowl is located at 4005 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ East side of Scottsdale Road (south of Indian School road by one block) in old town Scottsdale

Northeast Valley Homes in Greater Phoenix

August 4, 2010 By Candace Leave a Comment

The Greater Phoenix area is made up of more than 25 cities and towns, depending on how you define it. It is often easiest to think of Greater Phoenix to be the same as Maricopa County, although included are some areas that are actually in Pinal County, because the people who live in those areas often work, play and shop in Maricopa County.

For at least a decade the metro Phoenix area has been one of the fastest growing in the country, and it’s a lot of area to cover! Just as Phoenix is the “hub” of the commercial activity of the Southwest, it is also the core around which twenty-plus communities have grown.

Collectively they are known as the “Valley of the Sun” and they cover a small part of the sprawling 9,127 square miles of Maricopa County. Some Valley cities are well-known to those outside of Arizona: Scottsdale, as the resort destination of choice for sun and recreation; Tempe, as the site of the Arizona State University; Paradise Valley, as a residential town of idyllic as the name implies and Sun City as the home of active retirees. Glendale, the home of the University of Phoenix Stadium. It is the home of the Arizona Cardinals and the annual Fiesta Bowl.

The Northeast Valley homes covers the areas of Cave Creek, Carefree, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Rio Verde.

The properties below are Northeast Valley Bank Owned and new to the market in the last three (3) days:
