COP PUNCHES TEENAGE GIRL IN FACE, What would you have done? This video shows most of the action that occured prior to and after the Officer punched the girl. Here is the way I see it: The Officer was attempting to subdue and handcuff one girl. She was resisting arrest He could have thrown her to the ground while resisting, but chose to use a less agressive method. The girl in red who got hit interferred with the Officer while performing his duty (which is against the law) A male was trying to hold the girl in red back but she broke away, pulled the girl being arrested free from the Officer and attacked the Officer by forcefully pushing him back (which is against the law) In fact in most states it is "assault" if you lay your hands on any person, and a worst offense if it is a Police Off...

FATHERS DAY IS MORE THAN JUST HONORING YOUR FATHER   Fathers Day is not only a celebration to honor fathers, which compliments Mothers Day; it's also a day to celebrate and honor our forefathers. I've traced my family tree back to the 1600's in England, and have a very good idea of what my forefathers went through when they settled on the east coast, and made their way by foot through the trails to Tennessee. So I do honor those who had the strength and courage to come to this country and develop a very strong work ethic in order to survive.   Fathers day is widely believed to first be held in around 1910 in the U.S. Of course the idea of a Fathers Day was not widely accepted the way Mothers Day was. In fact many people made fun of having such a day. Here's a brief chronology: 1924, Cal...

Lyons Gate,  Gilbert Arizona living at it's BEST I can't think of a more ideal place to live in Gilbert than Lyon's Gate. (And I can't think of a more ideal city in the Phoenix valley to live in than Gilbert.) Let's talk about Lyon's Gate first. (See my blogs on Gilbert, AZ to see why I find it the perfect city to live in.) Minutes from the Loop 202 giving access to all valley locations. With the San Tan Village Mall and Gilbert Mercy Medical Center to the west and Mesa Gateway Airport and ASU East to the east, the location is great. Don't forget Joe's Farm Grill and Cosmo Dog Park across the street. For award winning schools, Williams Field High School and Higley Elementary and Middle School are close. The community of Lyon's Gate offers lined streets, lots of green open areas, tot lo...

   Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa feature Waterfront Trail Systems An almost hidden  feature of Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa is the recreational trail system that has been developed along the canals that have been in the east valley longer than 99% of the homes.   The Consolidated Canal, 18 miles long runs thr0ugh Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler and dates back to 1891.      The development of recreational paths along SRP canals has become an attractive amenity in many cities.   Bikers and joggers will be most familiar with the paths since they offer a welcome alternative to narrow sidewalks, inattentive passing cars and frequent crossings at stop lights. Websites that cater to runners and joggers even calculate the mileage between beginning and ending points along different canals. Consolidated Ca...

Paddle Boarding on Gilbert's Val Vista Lakes   Paddle Boards seem to gaining in popularity. We've seen several of these paddle boards pass by our waterfront home in Val Vista Lakes in north central Gilbert AZ during the past few months.We've also seen an increasing number of Pedal Boats and Kayaks, which provide a lot of cardio exercise. The Paddle Board is a stand-up board and you utilize one paddle to maneuver the board. Paddleboarding is similar to surfing because it is a board, and similar to kayaking because you use a paddle. However, you only have one paddle and cannot go as fast as with a kayak. So it would appear to me that the heart rate couldn't be increased as much as with kayaking. But I haven't tried either so I'm just guessing.It probably takes a little training, or at lea...

Gilbert Fourth of July Celebration     Gilbert AZ is 90 years old this year, and this year the Fourth of July Celebration will include celebrating the birthday of this wonderful Town of Gilbert. And as an added bonus, if any of Gilbert's residents are going to be turning 90 years old in 2010 then the party will be shared with them. For any resident turning 90, send an email to:  Public Information@GilbertAZ.gov There was apparently one member on the Gilbert Town Council who did not want to fund the event, even though the budget had been trimmed by $10,000. We applaud the Mayor and others who supported the event. I believe it would be a disservice to the Town of Gilbert residents if the event were not funded and held. It would cause our residents to have to go to neighboring cities to vi...

IF YOU REQUIRE PRIVACY | INSPECT FIRST Occasionally I hear about someone moving into a home only to later complain that their back yard pool area has no privacy due to neighbors two story homes all around them. It's a bit late to complain. They should have seen those two story homes and determined before buying the home that it doesn't give the privacy it needs. Fortunately in helping my buyers to find homes for sale in Val Vista Lakes Gilbert AZ area I haven't run into that problem. But sometimes the need for privacy occurs in other places, and the caveat still applies. IF YOU REQUIRE PRIVACY | INSPECT FIRST
