Boulder Creek swim team celebrates stellar season

CCUSD seeking voter approval on two bonds

Election Day coverage: Find your polling place

ANTHEM – The Boulder Creek swim team has had a fantastic season, and they’re finishing it off 8-0. Pictured are swim team captains Antony Gradillas, Michael Farella, Krista Kolkebeck, and Madison Tufte at West Valley Invitational at the SW Valley YMCA on Oct. 11. Boulder Creek boys and girls swim and dive won this meet by over 200 points. The Boulder Creek swim team will be performing in the re-gional meet on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at Glendale Community College. Congratulations and good luck to these exceptional athletes!

CAVE CREEK – On the upcoming ballot this No-vember, Cave Creek United School District citizens will be asked to decide whether or not to approve two school bonds for the CCUSD aimed at covering the costs necessary for maintaining and updating aging schools in the district. One of the bonds on the ballot is a repurpose bond, which asks voters to approve the reallocation of bond funds already passed and collected resulting in no tax increase. The second bond is asking for new funds to cover criti-cal projects for CCUSD and would raise property taxes. The repurpose bond on the upcoming ballot was first approved by voters in

2000, with over $10 million of funds available from the bonds issued. However, its original purpose was only for building new schools because CCUSD was experiencing double-digit growth then, but the growth halted, as well as state funding in 2008 with the recession, said CCUSD Superintendent Dr. Debbi Burdick in a phone interview. Repurposing the bond would allow CCUSD to have access to the $10.2 mil-lion available in bond funds for critical repairs in aging schools without raising prop-erty taxes. The main priori-ties would be replacement of failing air conditioning units, replacing and repairing leak-

ANTHEM – A fight in the front office at Boulder Creek High School with reported physical aggression towards staff led to three students being ar-rested. On Oct. 23, the Mari-copa County Sheriff’s Office re-sponded to a call around 7:30 a.m. “An off-duty sergeant with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, who works as the School Resource Officer, was attempting to take one of the juveniles into custody when two other minors became involved,” stated MCSO Officer Christopher Hegstrom. “During the altercation, a teenager was Tased by the Sergeant.” Two of the involved teens were arrested on-site at Boulder Creek. The third teen was apprehended and arrested north of Anthem Way and Gavilan Peak Parkway. “Two of the minors were charged with 1 count of Agg. Assault and 1 count of dis-orderly conduct,” said Hegstrom. “The other was charged with 2 counts of disorderly conduct.” Ashley Morris, Commu-nications Specialist for the Deer Val-ley Unified School District, noted that three students were taken into custody due to the altercation. “During the disruption, there was physical aggression to-ward two school administrators,” Morris noted.

ing roofs, and installing intercoms, se-curity systems, and fire alarms. Superintendent Burdick says the newest school in the district is 10 years old, with schools going back to 1982, and CCUSD is experiencing major failures with its infrastructure. “We have many needs the state is not providing,” said Burdick about the bonds. “There is $10 mil-lion in the state treasury; otherwise, the money will just sit there.” The second bond on the bal-lot will ask voters to increase their property taxes $0.12 per $100 of assessed valuation so CCUSD can fund capital improvements for the next six to seven years, including replacing the bus fleet, according to the CCUSD Web site. CCUSD has not asked for a bond since 2000 and is asking vot-ers to approve approximately $30 million, which would complete a wide range of projects, aimed at increasing energy efficiency in an effort to attain cost savings for all schools in the district. The new bond will also pay for a new fleet of school buses. The aver-

age age of the buses in the district is 15 years old, and, if passed, the new bond would replace all buses older than 15 years with new buses that have air conditioning and under-storage, says Burdick. None of the bond money be-ing requested by CCUSD will go to salaries for teachers, and Rich-ard Doabek, a Cave Creek citizen, voiced his concern about retaining teachers at a public bond forum held last Tuesday in Cave Creek. “If I had a choice between painting walls and keeping teach-ers…well, you get what you pay for,” said Doabek to the CCUSD School Board during the almost empty public meeting. But, Superintendent Burdick says that if the bonds do not pass, then it could potentially impact school programs in the future. “If we had a total AC or roof failure, we would have to use money from another pot, and it could im-pact programs,” said Burdick about what could happen if the bond ini-tiative fails. “We would continue to Band-Aid everything.”

Men, Women,Children

The typical morning term of endearment from my wife has a different effect on me when I hear her say it than when I read it in a text. Tech-nology has changed the way that we communicate, it has changed the way we express emotions, and it is changing the way reality is perceived. There is a world of people who have a better understanding of them-selves through the technology that enables their personality than they do in their daily lives. Director Jason Reitman approaches this technological dilemma with a heavy-hand-ed deliberateness in the film “Men, Women, Children.” The film focuses on a group of different people. A husband (Adam Sandler) and wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) who have grown apart in their relationship, who are both self-satisfying their wants for something different with dif-ferent people within the risqué Web sites of the Internet. An overly protective mother (Jen-nifer Garner) controls every

digital fingerprint her teen-age daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) makes, moving the teenager to sneak around to be with her boyfriend (Ansel Elgort). The popular girl (Olivia Crocicchia) in high school is looking for in-stant fame; with the help of her desperate mother (Judy Greer) she poses for “modeling” pic-tures for a Web site. These sto-ries intertwine with one another, displaying the negative effects technology has on their lives. The themes in “Men, Women, and Children” are all too familiar, some matters of debate on the nightly news and others so readily accus-tomed that we overlook them on a daily basis. Reitman tends to utilize the extremes of these matters for the bulk of the mul-tiple plots developing in the story here. Unfortunately, the many different stories aren’t all similarly interesting; in fact, a few are often forgotten about. The film functions on the surface as a caution-ary tale but Reitman’s skill for keen character insights creates some discerning musings into the relationships formulated through technology but also

the breakdown of relationships perpetrated by simple human nature. Reitman, who typical-ly has a knack for the kind of subtlety that would transcend these underlying topics, paints the themes on a large display with flashing lights to direct the viewer where to look and, in some scenes, exactly how to feel. The underlying implica-tions become forcefully one-di-mensional; if it weren’t for the capabilities of the actors, these flaws would be more obvious. Reitman brings some-thing worthwhile out of all the characters. Especially good is Rosemarie DeWitt as the bored housewife who seeks the company of another man through a catered Web site. Her change from shy to aggres-sive calls into question which is genuine. Judy Greer is another standout as the blindly ambi-tious mother who sets up a Web site filled with inappropriate pic-tures of her daughter. There is a desperation that is present; a woman who missed her chance is living through her daughter. Adam Sandler has shown his ability, with films like “Punch Drunk Love” and “Reign Over Me” at being more than just comedic; here he gives a perfor-mance that ranges from timid to comfortably numb. “Men, Women, and Children” is trying to be pro-found while imposing a bar-rage of aggressive themes. This resonates in small amounts when the right characters and story arcs are on display. Un-fortunately, too many wheels begin to spin and confusion and repetition take over, mak-ing the multifaceted commen-tary lose track of the poignant ideas it attempts to suggest.

Judge explains ‘Getting Served’

Judge Gerald A. WilliamsNorth Valley Justice of the Peace

Do you know what a process server does for a living? Most people also have a gen-eral understanding of the term “you’ve been served” when it comes to lawsuits (as opposed to something enjoyable, like a nice meal). However, the term “served” means different things even within the same set of court rules. In the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, the term “service” is used in two differ-ent contexts and it is easiest to think of it in terms of Rule 4 service and Rule 5 service. Rule 4 service is what most people think of when (and if) they think about service of process. Before a lawsuit can continue, the defendant must be served with a copy of the summons (that says where the lawsuit is and how to respond) and a copy of the complaint (a statement of why the defendant is being sued and for how much). Getting a copy of a lawsuit to the defendant is usu-ally fairly simple; but it can become very tricky. For exam-ple, what if the process server knocks on your door and hands a lawsuit against you to your 16-year-old son? Is that good enough? The answer is probably yes. The rules state that you can be served at your house if the documents are left with a “person of suitable age and discretion” who lives there as well. More than a few parents might debate whether there teenager possess any-thing resembling “discretion,”

but if your son or daughter is handed a copy of a lawsuit, you are most likely responsible for knowing about it, even if they never gave it to you. For justice courts, what is known as Rule 4 service has an additional requirement. Un-der Justice Court Rule of Civil Procedure 112, in addition to a summons and complaint, a plaintiff must also serve a “No-tice to Defendant” handout that explains the procedural re-quirements of the court system. Without it, a default judgment cannot go forward. Rule 5 service kicks in after the defendant has re-ceived the initial summons and complaint. It governs the distribution of all of the other documents involved in a law-suit. For example, things like a Notice of Deposition or a Re-quest for Production of Docu-ments or a delay request, do not require you to hire another process server. Those docu-ments can simply be mailed to the other side, but the rules can be confusing because they state that the other side must be “served” with various pleadings and motions. It is not hard to find someone with a good “How I avoided a process server” story, but bad news does not gener-ally go away with the passage of time. Being sued is not a spectator sport and if either you or your business is named in a lawsuit, you should find out what is going on. Judge Gerald Williams is the Justice of the Peace for the North Valley Justice Court. His column appears monthly in The Foothills Focus.

`Boo! Are you scared yet? Well, it’s time to pour a big Bloody Mary and enjoy Hal-loween. Oops, what I meant to say was it’s time to try and scare up the ghost of “Bloody Mary” by staring into a mirror that is in a dark room, by the light of thirteen candles, while chanting “Bloody Mary” thirteen times. The vengeful spirit will then ap-pear at your left shoulder. The problem is once you see the spirit, she will either, 1) scratch your eyes out, 2) kill you, or 3) drive you insane. I think I will pour myself a really stiff drink and hope for number three. I like Halloween, but a couple (of nuts) in Los An-geles decided to take the holi-day just a little too far. They planned a frightful wedding, with the bride wearing all black, the groom being carried to the altar in a coffin, and the minister dressed up as a devil! Oh, and the guests had to show up in Dracula-like costumes. Now there’s a marriage made in H-E-…(sorry, I keep forget-ting that we are a family paper). Around town I’ve been seeing lots of little ghouls out and about, plus plenty of jack-o-lanterns to remind me that it’s time to dust off my witch’s hat, buy some candy, and then eat it all (because no child is walking up my dark, country driveway). This holi-day has a long and spooky past and is much more than a “trick or treat” candy festival. Did you know that Halloween has a long tradi-tion? What started out in the fifth century as “All Saints Day” was a day of observance in honor of saints with one weird twist – it was also the day that disembodied spirits came back to possess the liv-ing. The poor spirits had only one chance of an afterlife, and that was to intermingle with the living on this one particular day, in hopes of possessing a body! The living didn’t want to be possessed and in order to scare these roaming “body snatchers” away, they dressed up in ter-rifying costumes and paraded around their villages, making a huge racket and driving off the evil spirits. Sound familiar? Halloween has always been closely associated with the dead. During the ninth

century, beggars went around to every home in their village asking for “soul cakes” on All Saints Day. The Europeans called this “souling.” These “treats” were given in exchange for the beggars praying for the dead relatives of the kind peo-ple who passed out the cakes, since it was believed that the dead relatives needed plenty of prayer to pass from limbo into heaven. These were the early days of “trick or treat.” Long before any of these practices, the Irish Celts were celebrating a new year in early November and hav-ing various sacrifices, prayer, and other spooky rituals. Let’s just say (since children may be reading this) that Hallow-een wasn’t always a fun little harmless holiday. It was seri-ous enough to terrify plenty of people. Imagine having to ward off some bully of a spirit that wants to possess you! Did you know that Americans spend over five billion on Halloween deco-rations? If you thought Hal-loween was just a fabricated “candy holiday,” think again. This day of devils, ghosts, goblins, witches, and all things weird, strange, and “dead” has been around a very long time. But for most of us, it’s a day to watch the kids dress up and pass out treats, never to give a thought about some evil spirit

trying to possess us. However, it is considered a night when witches congregate, arriving on broomsticks to celebrate with a party hosted by the “Horned One.” They sit around, cast spells, and make mischief on Halloween, but I wouldn’t wor-ry. I always dress up as a witch and have never been able to make much magic. (Although I have scared a few kids). I’ll be out in my witch’s hat, waiting to see the brave children come up my long, dark driveway, boldly asking for a treat. Actually, most years no kids show up. Just a few javelinas will come and see if I was foolish enough to place any more pumpkins out for them to devour. Oh well, if I get bored, I could put my clothes on inside out and walk backwards for thir-ty paces. If all conditions are “purrfect” and I manage to walk backwards in the shadow of the moon and an owl is watching, legend has it that I will turn into a black cat – for one night only. Who needs a costume on Halloween? Have yourself a bowl of candy and a big “Bloody Mary.” Oh, and be sure to be kind to black cats. Meow for now.

Candidate John Allen Candidate Kimberly Fisher Candidate Ann O’Brien Candidate Bob Stambach NORTH VALLEY – Govern-ing board candidate John Allen wants to see the DVUSD address budget shortfalls and help ensure that district employees make a living wage. “We can’t have effective learn-ing without quality teachers,” Allen said. “District employees have lost ground in salaries and respect; many of them have to take on outside jobs just to support their families.” Allen wants to see the district “reassess and realign budget priorities.” Teacher retention has been an ongoing issue in the district, and teacher pay is a component of that. “The top concerns that I feel are facing the district are em-ployee morale, employee compensa-tion, and choosing authentic assess-ments that will demonstrate student growth,” Allen noted. A ten-year resident of the DVUSD, Allen has worked in educa-tion both in the district and in other educational facilities. “I have devoted 25 years to education as an academic advisor at the college level, a high school teacher, a high school administrator, and coach at both the college and high school lev-els,” Allen said, listing his background for the governing board position. “I believe that those experiences have prepared me for a governing board po-sition, as I bring a specific educational perspective to the job.” Allen feels that the district needs to readdress dealings with teach-ers and staff. If elected, he wants to help show teachers that the district val-ues them as high-quality educators. “I have been disappointed with the way employees have been treated over the last several years, and I felt it was time to correct the situation,” Al-len said. “Too many teachers are leav-ing the district each year, causing a shortage of highly qualified and fully certified teachers for our students.” John Allen does not have a campaign Web site.

NORTH VALLEY – As an 18-year resident of the DVUSD, Kim-berly Fisher is running for the govern-ing board to tackle the issue of discon-nect between parents and the district. “I have been involved with my children’s education at the school level,” Fisher related. “I started at-tending the board meetings earlier this year because some questionable things were happening in Special Education. I noticed immediately that there were issues in the administration of the dis-trict and each board meeting was filled with manipulations and arguments.” As Fisher continued to attend meetings and research district issues, parents began seeking her advice. “As parents began to turn to me and I was able to help some of them, several asked if I would consider run-ning for the board to use my experience and education to help ensure sound de-cisions are being made and families/staff are being listened to,” Fisher said. The disconnect from the com-munity is one of three issues Fisher identifies as primary concerns for the district; she also lists limited funding and employee retention as top concerns. “School district funding has been limited for some time,” Fisher noted, adding that she feels that funds need to be gotten into classrooms and that non-tax options need to be utilized. “Through the use of coopera-tive agreements and external funding sources, base funding can be used to a greater extent in the classroom or for di-rect education of children,” said Fisher. Fisher wants to see the DVUSD become known as a ‘Desired Employ-er,’ which she says is achieved through “empowerment of the employee and “increased site-based governance.” “Employees at each site and the families they work with know best what issues they are facing and often they have manageable solutions if they are given the opportunity to provide input.” Fisher feels she has the back-ground to help move the district forward. “My experience includes sig-nificant experience in HR, school finance, contract negotiations and management, legal compliance, and administration of special needs habili-tation programs.” If elected, Fisher aims to strengthen community partnerships. “I believe we need strong dis-trict, school, parent, and community partnerships. To create and build these relationships requires active communi-cation between all parties concerned.” To see more about Kimberly Fisher, visit www.kimfisher4edu.com.

As the elections for being on the DVUSD governing board quickly approach, candidate Ann O`Brien stresses her desire to better students` educational experience. Mother of two; four year Parent Teacher Student Association president; and founding member of the Academy of American Studies at Sandra Day O`Connor High School, O`Brien devotes her time to enhance school systems for students. “I am committed to ensur-ing students are provided with an excellent education along with op-portunities to enable them to succeed in a competitive world beyond high school,” said O`Brien. She hopes to further increase her involvement by being elected to the governing board so that decisions are made in the best interest of the stu-dents, according to O`Brien. The Nov. 4 elections will give O`Brien a chance to fulfill her goals and work to resolve issues fac-ing the district. “The District’s greatest chal-lenge is providing a high quality edu-cation that fosters student achieve-ment,” said O`Brien, “while striking a balance between a limited budget and the need for responsible use of taxpayer resources.” Her passion for the improve-ment of her community stems from her own children. She started in 2004 cutting, collecting, and counting tons of small misshaped Box Tops at Stet-son Hills School in her kid’s classrooms, but she yearned to do more than just be a Box Top mom. She became consumed with helping and doing what was right for the children of the entire district. Out of that consumption came a compas-sion and concern that continues to grow today. Ten years she has been involved in the district, and for ten years she has advocated excellence for all children. “My experiences with the Dis-trict provided me invaluable knowl-edge which will allow me to establish relationships with various stakeholder groups while continuing to solve issues facing the District,” said O`Brien. With the elections almost near, O`Brien hopes to increase her contri-butions to the DVUSD community. See http://electannobrien.com for more info.

NORTH VALLEY – Bob St-ambach is running for the DVUSD governing board because he feels that he can add perspective and order to the workings of the board and district. “We have important things to deal with, and we need to stay focused on what’s best for the students,” Stam-bach emphasized. “I started regularly attending Governing Board meetings over two years ago. I’ve watched the proceedings and the decisions that have been made, along with the behavior of board members and the public.” Stambach says he has been “appalled” at what he has witnessed at these meetings. “We do everything we can to keep our children from bullying and be-ing bullied, yet I’ve witnessed just that sort of thing occur in many of these meetings,” he said. “I believe we need to put a stop to that behavior, and with my experience and skills in conflict res-olution, my negotiating skills, and my professional demeanor, I believe I can help keep some calm and some order within the board.” Stambach sees several issues facing the district. “Teacher workload, student count, and compensation are major ar-eas of concern not only for this district but throughout the entire educational system,” Stambach noted. “With 25 years of corporate experience mostly in senior management roles, oversee-ing large organizations like this district, I have learned that quick, simple so-lutions are not the best answer in the long run. Considerable thought has to be given to the consequences of major decisions, and that is often ignored. “ Stambach holds a degree in Fi-nance and Risk Management and has years of corporate experience, as well ex-tensive DVUSD volunteering experience. Referring to the DVUSD, St-ambach said, “In order to effectively run an organization like this, you need to be able to delineate fact from per-ception and always remember that the numbers relate to people whether student count, employees, salaries, or whatever.” If elected, Stambach wants to help the board calmly deal with conflict. “It is my belief that when we resolve as a board to do the right things in its entirety, that it will become more civil, productive, professional, and fi-nally able to focus on our most impor-tant area – and that is the wellbeing of our students.” See more about Bob Stam-bach at Facebook, Bob Stambach for DVUSD Governing Board.

Current board members Kelly Gorman and Christy Agosta are not seeking reelection, so the board will be getting two new members.

Carolyn Sato: Discovering the treasure within

CAVE CREEK – Lo-cal artist Carolyn Hansen Sato believes, “We celebrate life most deeply when we connect to our Source, search for and discover the treasure within us, follow our hearts and ride our waves until our souls blossom and take flight.” Carolyn is a sculptor who excels in crafting her naturally organic bronze creations to feel ethereal and as eternal as the human spirit in their naturally organic forms. To be in the presence of these magnificent pieces simply takes the viewer’s breath away. Growing up on Dia-mond Lake in Minneapolis, Minn., Carolyn was no strang-er to the natural elements of the earth. Her environment was filled with colorful forms, brilliant summer skies, and gleaming water surfaces. No detail escaped the careful ob-servation of her creative spir-it. Carolyn’s favorite subjects were the trees that grew in the area. She would spend hours collecting their leaves, pods, and cones. She loved the view

of the lake and the natural ele-ments surrounding her home. The memory of that scene still brings her great joy and peace. Carolyn became inter-ested in pottery and the beauty of Asian Ceramics while at-tending college at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. She entered graduate school and was looking for-ward to being an assistant to a famous potter professor, but as fate would have it, she met her husband-to-be in Rome, Italy, and ended up in Japan for the

next six years. It was here that her desire to create art thatmerges East with West, line with form, free-flowing with precision, and earthiness, with elegance became her focus. Upon returning to the United States, after her father passed away, Carolyn’s path took a very direct detour. Her family moved her moth-er to Scottsdale to help her get settled. The family fell in love with the desert and built a home in Cave Creek. Dur-ing this time, Carolyn became

busy with motherhood, com-munity work, and complet-ing her Master’s degree for a career in teaching English as a second language to foreign business executives. Soon after graduation, she took a teach-ing position with the Thun-derbird Graduate School of International Management. Years later when her children were off to high school and college and her job became increasingly stressful, Carolyn took a sculpture class for fun and as a hobby. She

found once she returned to working with clay, she knew she had come home. At that point Carolyn took a leave of ab-sence from teaching and con-centrated on her sculpting full time. It wasn’t long before she was casting her work in bronze, and she never looked back. Today, businesses and individuals alike collect Caro-lyn’s work. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Carolyn Sato and experience first-hand her stunningly beauti-ful bronze pieces. You will certainly find one you simply can’t take your eyes off of. Carolyn will be at Stu-dio #42 in the desert foothills area during the Hidden In The Hills Studio Tour the last two weekends in November. Her Web site www.soulartby-carolyn.com has a stunning array of her latest work, some of which you will see during the studio tour. Contact her by email at [email protected] or call for an appointment at (480) 241-9373. Contact arts colum-nist Shea Stanfield at [email protected].

Commemorative pavers planned for WWII vets

D-backs and Arizona Lottery plant 100 trees PHOENIX – If only D-backs legend Luis Gonzalez had a tree for ev-ery bat he broke. That’s exactly what City of Phoenix parks received on Oct. 24 through the Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona Lottery ‘Break A Bat, Plant A Tree’ program. For every two opponent bats that a D-backs pitcher broke, the D-backs and Arizona Lottery donated a tree to City of Phoenix parks. With nearly 200 opponent bats broken in 2014, three City of Phoenix parks will receive a total of 100 trees. Twenty-one newly-planted trees now stand just outside the outfield wall of Justin Upton Field, a field dedi-cated in 2012 as part of the Diamonds Back Field Building program. Phoe-nix City Councilman Michael Nowa-kowski and Luis Gonzalez joined in the planting (pictured). “This program is a great con-cept and if it existed when I was here, there would be a lot more trees around the city because I sure broke plenty of

bats in my career,” said Gonzalez. “I grew up in the inner city and a nice park like this provides a place of op-portunity and a safe place for these kids to play and have a good time.” Special thanks to Katie Krause, D-backs Communication.

Pet of the Week: Ginger

Ginger

For the love of Puggles! Hi, I’m Ginger, a per-fect blend of Pug and Chihua-hua – a popular crossbreed of dogs. I am sure to light up your life with my loving personality. I am a little shy, but very gen-tle and loving, and I enjoy the company of others. I am very inquisitive with other pets and would do great in a household with other small dogs and cats. My foster mom says I am a mellow girl, very gentle with a calm energy. I never bark, I’m a quick learner, aim to please, extremely well-behaved, fully crate trained, house trained and not the least bit aggressive. When I’m left alone at home, I have full run

of the house. When my foster mom returns home, she usual-ly finds me lounging in my bed and I’ve never had an accident. Car rides are a blast! Another great quality is I barely shed, but don’t assume that means I’m suitable for a family with allergies. While I’m pretty ten-tative on a leash, I’m not really into super long walks. I’d be a great companion for a mellow household, and honestly a per-fect dog for a retired family I am approximately 3 years old, 18 lbs., completely up-to-date on all my vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. I do awesome at the vet’s office – no fear at all. If you’re looking to adopt a new companion, choose

me! Please call Anthem Pets at (480) 287-3542 to schedule a meet and greet – you’re sure to fall in love. Anthem Pets is a non-profit organization serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Operating on do-nations only, it aims to find for-ever homes for abandoned an-imals and return wayward pets to owners. If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help Anthem Pets, please consider making a do-nation so we can continue to rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s opens Rancho Manana Discovery Center

CAVE CREEK – Cave Creek is the home base for the new Russ Lyon Sothe-by’s International Realty, Dis-covery Center at Rancho Ma-nana. It was recently opened by local agents Tom Fulton and MariaElena Rizzo. The two agents have partnered in the venture on-site at the Ran-cho Manana Resort. “We saw an opportu-nity here to re-introduce the Rancho Manana Private Resi-dence Club and related Real Estate assets,” Fulton said. “In addition, we provide a full ser-

vice brokerage to locals and visitors while they are enjoying the Rancho Manana Resort.” Rancho Manana’s long, rich history includes ranching, cotton farming, and in the late 1930s, a transformation into a Dude Ranch by the Loring and Lowdermilk families. Today, the Rancho Manana Resort resembles a Spanish Hacienda surrounded by lushly land-scaped grounds and towering palm trees. The Resort includes the Rancho Manana Private Residence Club, a Champion-ship golf course, a 16,000 sq.

ft. spa, resort-style pool, and the renowned Tonto Bar & Grill. Open houses are held daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. to see prop-erties in the area and gain in-formation on things to do. Ful-ton and Rizzo look forward to meeting with clients in this new office and discussing all their real-estate and vacation needs. For more info on the Rancho Manana Private Residence Club, visit www.RMPRC.com. The Rancho Manana Discovery Center is located at 5734 E Rancho Ma-nana Blvd., in Cave Creek.

OHV Coalition awarded for improving air quality

Daisy Mountain Veterans parade set for Nov. 8

NEW RIVER – The Public Lands Foundation awarded the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition the Landscape Stewardship Award for improving air qual-ity at the Boulders and the Table Mesa Recreation areas. Money for the project came, in part, from the Ari-zona State Parks Off-Highway Vehicle decal/license fees. The Arizona OHV Coalition partnered with the Bureau

of Land Management to ap-ply sealant on staging areas and major routes. The seal-ant hardens the dirt and helps prevent dust. The BLM nomi-nated the Coalition for the na-tional honor. The trail area is now in regulatory compliance with air quality standards. For more information on BLM projects in this area, visit www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/recreation/camping/dev_camps/table-mesa.html.

ANTHEM – The 10th annual Daisy Mountain Veter-ans parade will be held on Sat-urday, Nov. 8, in Anthem. The parade will honor all veterans, as well as specifically focusing on Vietnam vets. Serving as Honor-ary Grand Marshals will be forty-eight combat veterans of the Vietnam War. New par-ticipants this year will be the Arizona Conservatory for Arts and Academics Drum Line, the APS Clowns, the Arizona Precision Motorcycle Drill Team, the Granite Mountain Riders, the Justice League of AZ Super Heroes, MCSO Ex-plorer Post #2502, the North-ern Arizona All Airborne 82nd Airborne Division Association, Shawnee Lady Equestrian Unit, and Western Vehicle & AZ John Anderson Wayne. Returning units include the El Zaribah Shriners, the Sun City Poms, Smokey the Bear, the Wells Fargo Stage Coach, Boul-der Creek High School Band, the Arizona Rough Riders, the Daisy Mountain Fire Depart-ment Honor Guard, the USS

Arizona Memorial Replica, the 3rd Marine Division Asso-ciation, the Iwo Jima Memorial Float, and numerous military, civic, and business groups. The DMV will once again participate with the U.S. Marine Corps in its Toys for Tots program. Prior to the pa-rade, new unwrapped gifts will be accepted at the Anthem Community Center, Daisy Mountain Veterans Bingo, Harper Physical Therapy, OSR Physical Therapy, Phan-tom Realty, PostNet, Rayne of the North Valley, State Farm Justin Simons, and Toys‘R’Us at the Outlets. Collection boxes will also be strategically placed along the parade route on the day of the parade. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. from King Drive just south of Boulder Creek High School. The line of march will be north on Gavilan Peak Parkway, turning east on An-them Way, then south on Free-dom Way to conclude at the Anthem Community Center.

Carefree Village Center discussed at community workshop

CAREFREE – The Carefree Village Center is go-ing to be getting some updates. The community is being asked to give input on the revitaliza-tion of the Center and what development they would like to see join the shops, business-es, and restaurants currently located there. The borders of the roughly triangular town center are Tom Darlington Drive and Cave Creek and Bloody Basin Roads (pictured in the aerial map). “You all are the ex-perts,” Kevin Kugler, Direc-tor of Planning for one of the firms studying the area, said to an assembled group at a Carefree Village Master Plan workshop on Oct. 22. The bistro-style com-munity workshop took place

at the Sanderson Lincoln Pa-vilion in the heart of Carefree. Attendees moved from table to table in 15-minute increments, focusing on individual aspects of the project at each setting. A PowerPoint highlighting aspects of the project was shown and printed and handed out. Results of a survey regarding the Cen-ter were discussed and analyzed. Kugler referred to the planning as a “multi-faceted pro-cess,” noting that the area takes in about 40 acres and 176 busi-nesses. Kugler noted that the plan is to “help attract customers and additional businesses” to the Carefree Village Center. “Investment begets in-vestment,” Kugler added. Survey results indicat-ed that more restaurants would be a welcome addition to the Center. Currently, tax records

indicate that Carefree residents frequently leave the town when they go out to eat. Part of the Master Plan’s aim is to reduce the “trade leakage” in Care-free, meaning that more resi-dents would utilize businesses in the town instead of heading elsewhere for their shopping, dining, and entertainment. Kugler noted that the preliminary survey findings indicated that the Center is “only capturing a portion of what it could.” He also noted that Carefree’s current devel-opment has the town “well ahead of the curve.” The next community meeting about the Carefree Village Center is tentatively planned for this December. Fur-ther meeting dates will be pub-lished when they are finalized.

Kiwanis hosting community yard sale NEW RIVER – The New River Kiwanis is hosting a community yard sale at the Kiwanis park at New River Road and 15th Ave., on Satur-day, Nov. 8, starting at 8 a.m. The Kiwanis is renting shaded spaces, 10 X 6, for $20, or non-shaded spaces for $10. If you do not wish to purchase a space, the Kiwanis can take your material items and sell them on your behalf. All of the proceeds from space sale and material

donations will go towards the Kiwanis International project, Project Eliminate. Kiwanis has partnered with UNICEF to eliminate maternal neona-tal tetanus. This disease kills a baby every nine minutes in third-world countries. Proj-ect Eliminate is committed to raising $110 million by 2017. Women in these affected coun-tries receive a series of three shots, costing $0.60 each, a total of $1.80.These shots pro-tect the woman and her future

babies from this debilitating disease. The Kiwanis program has so far been highly success-ful, but more funds still are needed to altogether eliminate this disease. If you are interest-ing in renting a spot for the community yard sale, please contact Patty Faber at (623) 465-0229 by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. The New River Senior Center, just north of the park, is also having a sale at the same time.

Burger contest to benefit PeppedUp! Charity

CAREFREE – Four local grilling artisans will be competing in a ‘Burger Chal-lenge’ on Nov. 8. The event will be fundraising for the kids charity PeppedUp!, a non-profit organization that helps raise money to purchase elec-tronics, laptops, and games for kids who have cancer, are going through chemo, or are hospi-talized and in need of treat-ment. PeppedUp!’s work helps keep kids connected with their friends, family, and community. Patrick Radosevich, in-ventor of the Grill Grip, is put-ting on the Burger Challenge.

Four cooks with original burger recipes will be competing for the title of Grill Master. Rados-evich will help judge the con-test. Nick Stelfox of Carefree Outdoor Living has donated four high-end barbecues to be used as the demos during the event. Brix Wines is hosting the Burger Challenge, which will include live music entertain-ment, raffles, auctions, taste testing, wine/beer, and more. The contest will run 1-5 p.m. on Nov. 8. Brix Wines is lo-cated at 37636 North Tom Dar-lington Rd. #1, in Carefree. For more details, call (480) 595-2749.

Humane society offers Halloween pet safety tips

PHOENIX – A good scare isn’t much fun for pets. The Arizona Humane Society has assembled tips to help keep pets safe and comfortable on Halloween. Keep pets indoors! Pets may be frightened by costumed children at the door and could escape through the door when it’s opened. Don’t let pets accompa-ny kids trick-or-treating. Pets can also become victims of animal cruelty – watch them carefully. Keep candy, which may be toxic and present chok-ing hazards, away from pets. Make sure your pet has

current ID. AHS recommends a microchip, complemented by a collar and I.D. tag. By law, dogs must have a current Mari-copa County license. If your pet is fright-ened or uncomfortable, don’t make him wear a costume – try for a quick photo op in-stead. Never leave a pet in a costume unattended. Use caution around jack-o-lanterns and other decorations that could cause burns and start a fire. Some decorations may pose a chok-ing hazard for pets or get stuck in a pet’s intestines if ingested. For more info, see www.azhumane.org.
