Show Thursday, July 10, 2008 AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN Page 5 e tec WHO'S WHO AND WHAT'S HAPPENING Sub Zero owners hone in on ice cream lovers Cathy Allred NORTH COUNTY STAFF Aaron and Rachel Seitzinger of Alpine are sweethearts and have created a sweet of a deal for ice cream lovers in north Utah County. The first franchisees of Sub Zero Ice Cream located in Orem, the Seitzinger's opened their Sub Zero Ice Cream parlor par-lor on the border of American Fork and Pleasant Grove on June 17. Tucked away in the Auto Plaza on 762 N. 2000 West in Pleasant Grove just south of the American Fork Hospital, the store offers customized ice cream for the ice cream connoisseur. Parlor hours are Monday through Thursday, noon to 1 1 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, noon to midnight. "My (neighbor), she didn't know that we owned one and that is the only thing she will eat when she is pregnant and she had her husband go down to the Provo store and he got there and they were closed," Rachel Seitzinger said. "She was sobbing ... We have customers cus-tomers who say 'This is the only ice cream we'll eat.'" Sub Zero founders Jerry and Naomi Hancock brought science and one of Utah's favorite foods together, opening the first Sub Zero creamery five years ago on 934 North, Orem. There are now three Sub Zero Ice Cream parlors in Utah in Orem, Provo and Pleasant Grove, with a fourth opening in Rexburg, Idaho, soon. "I saw it as a perfect example of a business model where the customers are really enthusiastic enthu-siastic about receiving their ice cream as they are about watching the show," Aaron Seitzinger. The first time he saw Sub Zero Ice Cream was at the Highland Fling when he was working his shave ice stand, Flex's Mountain Flurries. Seitzinger Seitz-inger has had a few businesses including his current Woodpecker Wood-pecker Construction rough carpentry car-pentry business. "So we were at Highland Fling," he said. "Typically our line is the one that doesn't run out. I looked over and my little sister Jennifer spotted Sub Zero and tljeir line was just as long, if not bigger ... and so she told me to go check it out." I le and Rachel walked over and stood and watched Sub Zero customers and how excited ex-cited they were. Sub Zero Ice Cream customizes custom-izes its ice cream for individual customers on the spot by using cryogenic technology to freeze the prepared liquid ice cream mixture to subzero temperatures tempera-tures (minus 325 degrees Fahrenheit) Fahr-enheit) in seconds with liquid nitrogen. Patrons of Sub Zero can choose first, whether they want premium, custard, low fat, yogurt, soy milk or rice milk ice cream; second, choose their flavor or mix of flavors; choose mixes like candy, nuts, fruit; and decide what texture they want.

This type of loan helps seniors (62 and older) enjoy a degree of financial independence by enabling them to convert part of their home equity equ-ity into tax-free income without having to sell their homes or make monthly mortgage payments. With a reverse mortgage, homeowners receive money from the lender as long as they live in their homes. The loan is repaid only when the house is sold, the owner no longer uses it as a principal residence, or the owner dies. This arrangement allows house-rich cash-poor homeowners to remain in their homes and still meet their financial obligations. If you are over age 62, have a small mortgage or no mortgage, want to stay in your existing home, and need a surefire monthly income; a Reverse Mortgage may be a good alternative for you.
