Low Property Taxes for St. George

June 14th, 2010

Why St. George? We will count the ways over the next weeks in an attempt to enumerate the natural, aesthetic, cultural, social and economic reasons why St. George is such a wonderful place to live. The list is extremely long so please be patient. The week’s reason, while not flashy, is close to many a heart - low property taxes. The County property tax rate is $550 per $100,000 for primary residence. Contrast that with Mesquite Nevada with a rate of $937 per $100,000 and you’ll have one more reason why St. George is such a satisfying town in which to retire.

Customer Service Tip: Pet Hydration

June 14th, 2010

It is very important to keep that K9 hydrated with these harsh heats.  Make sure they have access to clean fresh drinking water at all times.  Water is the most important nutrient for a dog.  They can live for long periods of time without other nutrients but not water.

A dog constantly needs to replace the water he loses through panting and eliminating.  An average dog requires approximately 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day.  With these high temps, he may even require more.  So go enjoy your walks and the Dog Park with your precious pups, but don’t forget the AGUA!!!

View Lots: The Buyers Choice.

June 7th, 2010

Active Adults relocating to SunRiver St. George are gobbling up the view lots.  Over 60% of homes sold in May were golf course/view lots.  This is significant due to the limited supply of remaining view lots in SunRiver.  The northern views of Pine Valley Mountain and contrasting red rock vistas create unique scenery found only in Southern Utah.  Future SunRiver residents appreciate the value and scarcity of these homesites.

Many people tell us that the views become an integral part of our home decore.  Allowing for both mountain peaks and red accents to illuminate the changing shadows and highlights at different times of the day.  These lots, for these residents, are part of what makes SunRiver the perfect place to live young.  It’s not very often that you get to enjoy living in a smart financial investment.

For a list of remaining view lots at SunRiver, contact the sales office at (435) 688-1000

Chiropractic Service Now at SunRiver

June 7th, 2010

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Justin Poppe. I was born in California, but lived most my life in Las Vegas, nv. I went to Davenport, Ia to pursue Chiropractic school at Palmer College. After graduating, my wife and I decided to move closer to family and settled here in St. George. I have been practicing in our community for the past 3 1/2 years.

Imagine thirty to forty years ago, if we told you that dentistry would be painless, that doctors would watch television to perform surgeries, that brain surgery for tumors could be done with a laser, that fetuses could be operated on within the uterus, that knife-less surgery could be performed- you would not have believed us. By the same token, would you believe us if we told you that Chiropractic treatments and reorientation of the nervous system could be done comfortably, while you were sitting in an upright position without any turning or sudden movements? Would you believe that newborns as well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely and gently?

Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with Chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. The potential for the human being to end pain and to achieve their peak nervous system function has never been greater. Humans are consistently asking their bodies to perform at higher levels (pickleball). Now we have the techniques and the technology to match the demand placed on the spine and the nervous system. We now have the capability to fine tune our own energy and enhance every aspect of our lives.

Back and neck pain are the number one complaints in North America, affecting 80% of us at one time or another. These problems often mean a permanent loss of some function, forcing us to give up things in life no one should have to give up. The highly advancedSpineMED is a NON-SURGICAL, DRUG-FREE procedure that is EXCEPTIONALLY COMFORTABLE. It will treat sciatica, degenerative discs, herniated discs, etc.

Our office is now treating patients with fibromyalgia. We are able to do this with functional medicine and massage.

Our SunRiver office is now open, making it more convenient for residents to be able to seek treatment before or after the various activities that are done here at sunriver. Call 435-656-2888 to schedule your appointment today.

Gas appliances, such as water heaters, furnaces and stoves need plenty of air to operate safely.  Otherwise they can produce excessive carbon monoxide.  Here are some tips you can do to assure yours are functioning properly.

Schedule an annual appliance inspection, cleaning and tune-up by a qualified specialist.
