Queen Creek accepts applications to fill vacant Town Council seat
Posted Date: 11/5/2009

When Queen Creek Town Council Member Gail Barney recently resigned to run for Mayor in the 2010 election, there were two years remaining of his four-year term. The Queen Creek Town Council is now accepting applications to fill Barney’s seat for the remainder of his term until June 2012. 

Those wishing to apply to fill the remaining two years of Barney’s post should submit a letter and resume to Town Clerk Jennifer Robinson by 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19. Interviews will be held and an appointment will be made on Monday, Nov. 30.

Chick Fil A Print E-mail
 
Despite these challenging economic times, Chick-fil-A continues to expand and is excited to open a new stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant in Queen Creek at 20455 E. Rittenhouse Road on October 8.  Not only are we giving away more than $26,000 in free food, the new location brings with it approximately 65 new jobs. Chick-fil-A was just named Best Drive-Thru in America by QSR magazine for the sixth time - - released today.
 
We will also be celebrating the sixth anniversary of the First 100 contest that started right there in the Phoenix area at the October 2003 opening of the Chick-fil-A in Goodyear and has grown ever since. Chick-fil-A raving fans usually arrive more than 25 hours in advance of an opening, carrying tents, lawn chairs, computers, TVs, couches and all kinds of other gear to make their wait more comfortable and entertaining. Some travel across the country to openings and have great stories to share. Wednesday takes on a tailgate type atmosphere with games, food and music - - very visual and lots of fun.
 
Please let Queen Creek residents know about the contest early on because it fills up quickly. Sometimes 100 people are already at the new store Wednesday morning ready to be part of the First 100 until Thursday’s opening.      
 
Chick-fil-A will award a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals (52 certificates) to each of the first 100 adults in line, age 18 and older with identification, at the restaurant located at 20455 E. Rittenhouse Rd. in Queen Creek. The line officially begins forming up to 24 hours before the grand opening with the prizes being awarded Thursday, Oct. 8, sometime between 6 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately thereafter. In the event that there are more than 100 people by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7, all 100 spots will be determined by a raffle. See www.chick-fil-a.com/#insidersfirst100 for complete rules. 
 
 
Lanee's Legacy Print E-mail

Image

Big Pancake Breakfast Scheduled For October 10th, 2009 in Desert Mountain Park. 

Hawes and Ocotillo in Queen Creek.  8am to 10am.  

DeLanee's Story
Five years ago, Becky and Tommy Norris, were blessed to be pregnant with their second child. Shortly thereafter they learned that they were going to be parents to a little girl, but the probability of their daughter living for very long was extremely low. Their daughter was diagnosed with a condition called Dandy-Walker Cyst. The doctors believed that the Norris’ baby would deteriorate and pass away during pregnancy, but much to their surprise DeLanee developed until 28 weeks gestation when she was delivered and lived for three hours. As you can imagine, these 3 hours was precious time that they spent as a family with their daughter taking pictures, bathing, dressing and holding her until she passed away in their arms. Upon DeLanee's passing, the nurses brought the Norris family a box to put their daughter’s belongings in to take home with them. Because DeLanee was born in January the nurses were able to find a leftover Christmas box. That Christmas box became extremely special to the Norris family and they clung to it and the contents inside that held their daughter’s precious belongings as they left the hospital without their baby. It was because of this box that the inspiration for Lanee’s Legacy began. . .

Well, I guess we are a real town now.  The new McDonald's just opened.  I took the kids after church on Sunday to offically open the place.  I wish they would have built a children's play center, but they didn't.  Kind of a funky layout to the parking lot, too.

The Big Mac sure tasted good, though..  I still remember when all we had was the QC Cafe and Rudy's.

Why Live in Queen Creek? Print E-mail

Why live in Queen Creek, Arizona?

Why would anyone want to live in Queen Creek?  Well, I can think of some good reasons.

First of all, the real estate market in Queen Creek presents a good value.  You can get a nice house in Queen Creek for hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper than say, Chandler or Gilbert.  Homes in the Pecan Creek subdivision are in an ideal location.  Pecan Creek is about 7 or 8 miles closer to the 60 than Johnson Ranch.  You get a straight shot right up Ironwood to the 60.  Ironwood Road is being widened to 2 lanes each direction.  You can drive from Ocotillo to Route 60 without any traffic headaches.  Queen Creek used to have some pretty bad traffic problems.  The Ellsworth loop road is being built, and we actually have street lights now. 

Queen Creek is in the process of building a Target, a Wal-Mart Superstore, Old Navy, etc.  We have a new sushi restaurant called Sushi Creek.
Looking for a great place for kids to learn??  Try the new Kumon.  I haven't tried the new Chinese food place, Golden Harvest.  Anybody tried it yet??  Let me know if the food is any good.

 
Having Problems Paying Your Mortage?? Print E-mail

WATCH OUT FOR PREDATORY LENDERS

Here are some warning signs:
• Sounds too easy. “Guaranteed approval” or “no income verification” regardless of borrower’s current employment,credit history, and assets. These claims indicate the lender
doesn’t care about whether you can afford to make the payments over the long haul.

• Excessive fees. Higher lender and/or mortgage broker fees than are typical in your market. Because these costs can be financed as part of the loan, they are easy to disguise or downplay. On competitive loans, fees may be negotiable. It is common for home buyers to pay only 1 percent of the loan amount for prime loans. By contrast, a typical
predatory loan may cost 5 percent or more.

• Large future costs. High-risk adjustable rate mortgages where the payment rises a lot after the “teaser rate” period are seldom appropriate for families who already have had
problems repaying other loans. Home buyers should avoid large single “balloon” payments (a lump sum due at the end of the loan’s term).

• Closing delays. The lender delays closing, so your commitment on a reasonably priced loan expires.

• Over-valued property. Inflated appraisals that allow excessive fees to be included in the loan and result in the borrower owing more to the bank than the home is worth.

• Barriers to refinancing. Prepayment penalties that make it hard for a borrower to refinance in order to pay off a high-cost loan by taking advantage of a low-cost loan.

• No down payment loans. These loans may be split into two mortgages, with one having a much higher cost. Home buyers should be sure they can afford the payments.

• Unethical document management. Ethical lenders and brokers always require you to sign key loan papers, and never ask you to sign a blank document or a document dated before the date you sign.

• The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) website has a list of HUD-approved counseling organizations, by state (www.hud.gov/counseling). We recommend that the list be used as a starting point to find good counselors. You also can call 800.569.4287 or TDD 800.877.8339.

• Watch out for questionable counseling companies who advertise that, for a minimal fee, they will assist homeowners by hiring a lawyer to defend the foreclosure in court or negotiate lender assistance on the borrowers’ behalf. You should call a HUD-approved counseling organization, a local NeighborWorks® organization, or 888.995.HOPE before you pay or sign anything.

 
Real Estate Translation Print E-mail

Lost in Translation

Every realtor who has been out with clients shopping for Queen Creek real estate knows the disappointing experience of walking into a house and recalling the description in the mls, wondering if you're in the right house. Whoever wrote that thing and lured you and your clients to the doorstep must have an amazing imagination.

After seeing over 1000 homes over the years, I offer to Queen Creek home buyers this brief, only partly tongue-in-cheek translation.

Charming, adorable: Small

Cozy: Really small

Exclamation mark in listing (single): This house isn't getting much interest.

Exclamation marks in listing (two): This listing is in trouble; it won't sell.

Exclamation marks in listing (three or more): Will somebody, ANYBODY buy this house?

Location, location, location: The only thing going for it is the name of the town, and these are the cheap seats.

Bring your updating ideas: Bring your contractor.

Ready for your personal touches: Get ready to rip up carpet, tear down wallpaper, and hire a personal shopper at Home Depot.

Investment opportunity: Knock it down and build a new house.

Room for expansion: Has a yard. (If you had a spare $100,000 laying around after the down payment, maybe you could build something.)

Don't miss out/hurry: We are getting truly desperate to sell this place.

YES! You can afford to live in Scottsdale!:  See "location, location, location."

No HOA:  The neighbors have 2 cars up on blocks in the driveway and Uncle Larry lives in the pop up trailer in the front yard.

Honey, stop the car!!:  The only people who would even consider living in this house are currently living IN their car. 

Mrs. Clean lives here:  This place is very ugly, but hey, it is clean.

Realigned Rittenhouse Road Print E-mail

Realigned Rittenhouse Road at Ocotillo Road to be opened June 18

The opening of the realigned Rittenhouse Road in the vicinity of Ocotillo Road is scheduled to take place Monday, June 18. The old intersection of Rittenhouse and Ocotillo roads, which was severely skewed and located immediately adjacent to the railroad crossing, will be permanently closed at that time. All Rittenhouse Road traffic will then use the new roadway alignment, crossing Ocotillo Road at the new traffic signal approximately 1/4 mile west of the railroad tracks.

The new Rittenhouse Road will be continuous across Ocotillo Road at the new traffic signal activated last week. Through traffic will no longer need to turn in order to stay on Rittenhouse Road. Drivers should remain alert through the work zone and pay careful attention to the electronic message signs for guidance.

Although the new roadway alignment will be open, traffic will still be restricted to one lane in each direction as construction continues along various sections of Rittenhouse Road. The completed 4- to 6-lane roadway is expected to fully open to traffic on or about Oct. 31, 2007.

 
Fulton Homes Donates $3 million to Town of Queen Creek Print E-mail

Fulton Homes donates $3 million to Town of Queen Creek
for library, parks, transportation


The Town of Queen Creek recently received a $3 million donation from Fulton Homes
for design and construction of the new Queen Creek Library children’s area, parks development,
and transportation improvements within the Town.
The Fulton’s $3 million contribution is designated to be used in the following ways:
- $1 million towards the design and construction of future Town park facilities.
- $1 million towards the Town’s five-year Transportation Improvement Program.
- $1 million towards the new Queen Creek library children’s area. In recognition for
this contribution, the Town will name the children’s area of the library the “Mary Lou
Fulton Children’s Center”.
This additional funding for the new library allows the Town to enrich the interior design of
the children’s area by including exciting thematic elements. Based on planning meetings with
the Town’s Youth Commission and other youth who frequently use the library, the Town’s
design team came up with a “Four Seasons of Nature” concept that incorporates colorful
landscapes of autumn trees, ice-capped mountains, spring flowers and a relaxing summer
beach. These lovely images will serve as a vibrant backdrop for children’s programming in the
Mary Lou Fulton Children’s Center.
”Building a quality community requires so much input from so many stakeholders,” states
Queen Creek Mayor Art Sanders. “In Queen Creek, we try hard to maximize public resources to
the benefit of all our residents, and we are delighted about the partnership we have melded with
Fulton Homes for our parks development program, our new library and also our streets
network.”

Epic Christian Church Print E-mail

Statement of Faith

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct personages: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe God is the Creator of all things and that He created all that exists out of nothing.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son and Savior of the world. We believe that Jesus, the divine son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God's right hand and is coming again for his people.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who encourages, guides, comforts, and transforms in the way of Christ. We believe everyone who accepts Christ as their Savior will receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who acts as a comforter, guide, and advocate on our behalf.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, written Word of God and the authoritative rule for all matters of faith and practice.

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection, opened the way for salvation.

We believe that salvation - the forgiveness of sins - comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is offered to all persons, all of whom were created in the image of God.

We believe that the Church is the body and bride of Christ, was founded on the day of Pentecost, and consists of all Christians everywhere.

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will be assigned eternal life; the unsaved will suffer eternal separation from God.

Jordan Rader Foundation

Our Mission…

Providing financial and emotional support to deserving families who are grieving the loss of their child.


1. To comfort and support families who have tragically lost their child.


2. To work as mediators between grieving families and local mortuaries, recommending those that can provide discounts and wonderful service.


3. Ultimately, to provide financial aid to every deserving family who has to bury a child after a tragic, unexpected death.

The Jordan Rader Foundation
The Funeral
"I remember planning Jordan’s
funeral and realizing that was
going to be the last thing as his
mother I could do for him. To be
able to give a family something
they could otherwise not afford,
such as a sign in book for guests,
a picture collage, or an outfit
for their baby to be buried in is
an enormous privilege."
 - Victoria

J.O. Combs Unification Approved Print E-mail

Voters Approve J.O. Combs District Unification

Voters in the Pinal County J.O. Combs school district have approved the $18 million bond to supplement state funding on a new high school.  By 2009, students will be able to attend high school in their own community.  J.O. Combs students will now have a high school of their own.  Previously, students had to go outside the district to Queen Creek, Higley, Coolidge, Apache Junction, or Florence High Schools. 

J.O. Combs could be able to teach high school as early as fall of 2007. However, district officials have not decided whether students will be taught in existing facilities or wait until the new high school is built in 2009.

Voters also approved the $30 million bond to supplement state funding on new elementary and middle schools.
