Three suspects arrested in connection with Anthem burglaries

ANTHEM – On Jan. 27, Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Office officers arrested three suspects in connection with burglaries in Anthem. Derrick Fargo, Terrick Fargo, and Marlon Nieves-Catala, all 18 years old, were arrested and are facing several charges.

MCSO Det. Doug Matteson reported that, on Jan. 27, deputies responded to a call saying that 18-to-20-year-old males were looking into houses. As the investigation continued, MCSO officers linked the suspects who were later arrested to the burglaries.

Terrick Fargo was the first

suspect to be arrested. His twin brother Derrick was later taken into custody at the Fry’s grocery store on Daisy Mountain Drive.

Officers were able to get a description of a vehicle connected with the suspects.

“Deputies made a traffic stop on that vehicle, which was stolen out of Phoenix,” Matteson said. Nieves-Catala was reportedly driving the vehicle and was arrested.

During the investigation and search on Jan. 27, emergency precautions were taken at

Desert Hills fire destroys two structures

DESERT HILLS – Two structures were destroyed in a fire in Desert Hills on Monday.

Captain Dave Wilson of the Daisy Mountain Fire Department reported that the fire was “fully involved” by the time the first DMFD truck, which came from three-quarters of a mile away, arrived on the scene.

“The fire was isolated to a

travel trailer and a 20’ storage

container,” Wilson said.

“Efforts were concentrated

on keeping the fire from

spreading to other buildings and

neighboring properties.”

DMFD was able to contain

and extinguish the fire.

“No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation,” Wilson said.

Foothills Academy holding open house

SCOTTSDALE – Premier college prep charter school Foothills Academy is holding an Enrollment Open House for K-12 students on Thursday, Feb. 18, 5-6:30 p.m., on both campuses.

Visitors can learn about a variety of multi-age programs at the elementary campus, and middle and high school offerings, including dual enrollment for students to earn college credits, art, athletics, STEM projects, and the Foothills Academy online program.

Now in its 21st year, Foothills Academy offers student-centered programming, a strong school community, and an impressive college placement record.

For more information, see foothillsacademy.com or call (480) 488-5583.

Program offers options for Phoenix residents with traffic fines

PHOENIX – Residents with past due traffic fines owed to the Phoenix Municipal Court may be able to pay the owed funds through the Compliance Assistance Program. The program provides an affordable way for people to repay past fines with the goal of restoring their driving privileges.

Those with past-due traffic fines must visit the Phoenix

Municipal Court in person to see if they are eligible for the program. Court staff will review some basic information from residents and provide a “Pay Today” amount that can be paid on the spot to begin the repayment process. After submitting the “Pay Today” amount, residents would enter into a plan to repay the remaining balance. Once residents pay the “Pay Today” amount and sign up for a payment plan, court staff will notify the state Motor Vehicle Division that the resident is compliant with all Phoenix Municipal Court fines.

Residents who think they may be unable to pay a “Pay Today” amount still are encouraged to visit the court and learn about the program requirements. Residents should note that fines from other jurisdictions or other Motor Vehicle Division rules could impact their ability to have their drivers’ licenses restored.

Information on Phoenix Municipal Court is available online at phoenix.gov/court or by calling (602) 262-6421.

SNOWBIRDSWELCOME!

Around the Bluhmin’ Town

JUDY BLUHMI have done something

illegal. If you are with local law enforcement or the FBI, please stop reading immediately. I have placed a small bet on the Super Bowl. Guess I am not alone, since each year an estimated 200 million people wager on the Big Game to the tune of about 4.2 Billion bucks! Oh yea, not only do we like to eat our way through the Super Bowl, we like to throw in a little change on the action.

The history of gambling goes back to about 2300 B.C. and is considered one of the earliest forms of entertainment that has ever taken place in human existence. Cards, dice, and heads and tails games determined many country’s boundaries and territories. It decided the fate of which royal married or what weapons were to be used in a duel. Heck, in 2009 a Cave Creek election came down to the luck of the draw when two candidates who had tied for a seat on the town council chose the card trick as the deciding

factor. The winner was Adam Trenk, when he chose the king of hearts and found a place in Arizona’s history books.

Maybe it is in our genetic makeup, the thrill of throwing down a dollar or two on who might win a tournament. I suppose it makes us happy when buying a handful of five dollar Super Bowl squares. But

wait, we also love the oddball wagers like what color will Katy Perry’s hair be at halftime or what color liquid will be dumped on the winning coach? How many horses will be in Budweiser ads? Not only do we like to bet on teams, we like to bet on just about anything! Oh, and it seems that about 97 percent of all betting that we do is considered illegal! Hmmm…do you know any criminals?

So I suppose if we place a few bucks on our favorite team at the office pool we could all go to jail? Well, not likely. But did you know that your winnings are considered income and you must report it to the Internal Revenue Service? (If you are an agent with the IRS please stop reading immediately). Well, sorry, but I am not going to

report it if I win a few bucks on Super Bowl Sunday!

I have never had a “big win” but those that do soon realize that winning serious money when you gamble is not the same as getting pennies from heaven. I have a girlfriend who won $2,000 in the slots at a casino in Arizona and was so thrilled she put the money in her purse and ran for her life. She felt it was a huge stroke of good luck and was so afraid she would lose it all back into the slot machines that she left the casino “running like a wild woman.” Happy to have won, she said she was a little peeved that she had to pay the IRS a portion of her winnings. Guess when you play you have to pay.

If a slot machine goes ka-ching is the IRS listening? If you

wager ten bucks that Coldplay’s halftime show will include Beyonce and Bruno Mars and win, is that reportable income? I know there are more questions about gambling, games, and money that require much more research. So maybe after the dust settles and the Vince Lombardi Trophy is handed to the winning team we will know exactly how much has been spent (lost) on the Super Bowl this year.

Here is the other sad truth about the Super Bowl. Most people watching the game hate both teams! Ouch. So why not make the entire spectacle even more miserable by betting (and losing) some money? Millions of Americans will have a party anyway, place prop bets on things like which team makes the longest field goal, which player loses his helmet, or which team is first penalized. You get the picture. In other words, pass the nachos, spend a few bucks, and cheer anyway. Betting? It’s in our genes.

So I suppose if we place a few bucks on our favorite team at the office pool we could all go to jail? Well, not likely. But did you know that your winnings are considered income and you must report it to the Internal Revenue Service?

SCOTTSDALE – Honor Health Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center has announced the addition of a Navio orthopedic surgical system to help surgeons perform precise and accurate partial knee replacement surgeries. This technology for partial knee replacements uses a CT-free intra-operative registration, planning, and navigation platform to assist the surgeon in building patient-specific surgical plans. The Navio robotic-controlled hand piece assists the surgeon in preparing the bone with the precision of robotics in a hand-held, freehand sculpting technique. This technique is reported to lessen patients’ pain and swelling post-operatively than traditional total joint replacement methods.

“Robotic-controlled smart instrumentation allows us to very precisely place an implant that has been selected for the patient’s knee,” said orthopedic surgeon Bertrand Kaper, MD. “The benefits to the patient is a much faster rehabilitation including shorter hospitalization, quicker recovery time than a total knee replacement, and a more natural feeling knee since less bone is removed and there is less trauma to soft tissue.”

With no pre-operative CT-scan required, Navio patients receive the benefits of robotic assistance without additional time spent for pre-operative procedures. Instead, the surgeon collects anatomical data during the procedure to build a 3D model of the patient’s knee. This

information helps the surgeon place the implant and balance the knee’s ligaments for optimal alignment and a well-balanced knee.

“Partial knee replacements are a minimally invasive surgery that allows patients to have less pain and swelling post-operatively than traditional total joint replacement methods,” said Kaper.

To learn more about who may benefit from a Navio knee surgical procedure, call HonorHealth Thompson Peak Medical Center at (480) 324-7541.

noted that the addition of Aquila Hall to the existing Black Mountain student services will offer the college the opportunity to “focus on the science.”

Paradise Valley Community College president Dr. Paul Dale noted that the goal is to make PVCC at Black Mountain “a premier science facility.”

Aquila Hall is named for the constellation Aquila, the Eagle, and the facility offers a strong focus on astronomy. Star-gazing events are held regularly at

Black Mountain, and college

astronomy courses are offered

for students.

At the Jan. 28 reception,

astronomy professor Jenny

Wietz held a demonstration

in the astronomy observatory

and shared information on the

stars visible above Aquila Hall.

Wietz also pointed out that the

Aquila constellation has been integrated into the Aquila Hall structure; both the ceiling in the hall lobby and an outdoor walking path bear the points of the constellation.

Wietz, who has been teaching at PVCC for five years, invited the community to join a Star Party event at Black Mountain, noting that Star Parties are “free and open to the public.” The next Star Party is set for Thursday, Feb. 11, starting at 7 p.m. Call (602) 561-5398 for more details.

For more information on PVCC at Black Mountain or to enroll for classes, see http://paradisevalley.edu/blackmountain.

PVCC at Black Mountain is located at 34250 N. 60th Street, in north Scottsdale, just south of Carefree Highway.

SCOTTSDALE – This Saturday, the Arizona Fine Art Expo will welcome special guests from the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show.

The north Scottsdale event will open early at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6, for ‘Up Close with Royal Arabian Horses,’ a special event featuring two magnificent Royal Arabian horses. The two-hour event also will feature a lively Quick Draw, where artists have a brief timed period to draw the horses, and several artists will plein-air paint them. Refreshments will be available, as well.

“This is a rare chance to see these radiant horses up close, learn about their history, and see how artists recreate their striking beauty,” said Judith Combs, CEO of the award-winning Thunderbird Artists and CEO/Partner of Arizona Fine Art Expo. “Come join us for breakfast and then spend the afternoon touring through artist studios or relaxing in our sculpture garden.”

The Arizona Fine Art Expo has come to be known as one of Arizona’s best venues for collecting fine art. The event

features 120 patron-friendly working studios within a 44,000 square-foot space, where guests have a rare chance to meet the artists, see them in action, and learn about their inspiration and techniques. Throughout the 10 weeks, artisans will sketch passionately in pencil, charcoal, and pastels; sculpt and fire clay; drill, chisel, and carve stone; paint in all media; scrape and etch on scratchboard, stain and etch gourds; design lost wax casting; solder and weld jewelry; assemble mosaics, and more. Art is for sale, and commissions are welcomed.

With the exception of the ‘Up Close with Royal Arabian Horses’ event, when the Expo will open early at 9 a.m., the show runs daily 10 a.m.-6 p.m. through April 3, under the white tents at 26540 N. Scottsdale Rd., on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Jomax Roads, next to MacDonald’s Ranch. Season passes cost $10; season passes for seniors and military are $8; and children under 12 are free. Parking is free.

For more details about participating artists or events during the show, call (480) 837-7163 or visit www.ArizonaFineArtExpo.com.

Tempted to buy yourvacation home now? Here are reasons to and some reasons not to.

Location – We know that sounds elementary but consider not only thecommunity and amenities. How about views? Pool or not? Gated or not? Single level or two stories?

Price – Buy under what you can afford. Don’t stretch your budget. If the monthly costs causes you stress why bother buying a vacation home for a get away from your stresses? If you decide to hire a property manager or a home check service you want room in your budget for that.

Be realistic – How often you’ll actually use the place. You may be better off working out a rental agreement with an owner in the area to use their place two or three times a year- and forget about the place when you’re not there. On the other hand, if you’re planning on spending 4 or 5 months every year and eventually making it a permanent home, that you’re a buyer not a renter.

Understand the Tax Implications – Don’t assume you know what the tax consequences of owning that property will be, based on your experience with your primary residence. Second homes can be more complicated. Before you sign that purchase contract, call your tax professional.

Be Careful – Slow down, take your time — and do your research. Move forward only after you have thoroughly investigated all aspects of buying that wonderful vacation home. Call us, we are experts in our area. We live here & really love it! We know every community. We have a team of experts in every �eld to help you make an informed decision.

ANTHEM – The Boulder Creek High School girls basketball team is coming off of a three-game winning streak after picking up a pair of wins last week against Flagstaff and Westview High School. The Lady Jags beat the Eagles 54 to 51 on Thursday, and beat the Knights 39 to 31 on Friday.

Thursday night, the Lady Jags game out strong against the Eagles going up 14 to 9 at the end of the first quarter. The Eagles came within four at halftime due to some miscommunication and turnovers from the Lady Jags.

“We went out and were a little overly aggressive in the first, which caused us to get a little fatigued because we used a short bench tonight,” said Ryan Pletnick, Boulder Creek’s Head Coach.

According to junior Mallory Vivola, the team wasn’t communicating enough, but they picked it up and got things together.

The Eagles tied it up early in the third quarter, but the Lady Jags took

off after a three-pointer by sophomore Sydney Palma. That was all the Lady Jags needed, as they would lead the rest of the game. Pletnick says it was the girls’ tenacity that helped them bounce back so quickly.

“We have had one of the toughest schedules I think I have ever seen,” Pletnick said. “At the beginning of the year, it was one of those where we had a bunch of close games and right now I think it’s the time that they are keeping their heads when dealing with adversity.”

Vivola says that the team’s adrenaline and drive to win is what pushed them to extend their winning streak to three games.

“Every game we have left on the schedule is going to be tight,” Pletnick said. “At the beginning of the year, we were on the opposite end of this, and now I think this the right time to learn from it and move on from the mistakes we made.”

The Lady Jags’ last home game and senior night will be on Thursday, Feb. 4, against Millennium High School.

PHOENIX – Sonoran Trails Middle School counselor Cadi Angeli has been named the Arizona School Counselors Association ‘Counselor of the Year.’ She will be recognized at the AzSCA spring conference, to be held March 7-8.

Cave Creek Unified School District Student Support Administrator Gina Durbin described Angeli as “an amazing counselor.”

“Her program focuses on academic, personal/social, and career development of all students through small groups, individual meetings, guidance curriculum, and parent involvement,” Durbin said. “Overall, Cadi makes it her priority to do her best to be responsive to all of her schools’ needs. She has the personality, the formal education, the commitment to working with our youth, and that “hard work” ethic that characterizes exemplary counselors.”

Angeli has been a Sonoran Trails counselor for 15 years and is an integral part of the school community by leading and advocating for all student success. Katie Cotner, STMS counselor, said, “Working with Cadi each and every day, I am well equipped to say that

she is most deserving! She is an amazing role model for me and an incredible friend!”

“In 2013, Angeli led a team of counselors to receive the Recognized American School Counselor Association Model Award (RAMP),” AzSCA reported in a release. “This award is given to school counseling programs that demonstrate excelling student services components such as goals, curriculum data reports, student data initiatives, administration support, time management, advocacy, and leadership.”

Bill Dolezal, STMS principal, said, “Sonoran Trails is a great place to be for students, parents, and staff because of the time, energy, and professionalism Cadi Angeli provides in the counseling department.”

Foothills Community Foundation hosting Visual Arts Lecture Series

SCOTTSDALE – Celebrate the world of art in February by attending one of the Foothills Community Foundation’s visual arts lectures, to be held each Monday afternoon this month, at the FCF Holland Community Center, 34250 N. 60th St. Bldg. B, in north Scottsdale. Wine and cheese will be served at 3:30 p.m., with each lecture beginning at 4 p.m. The 45-minute lectures are followed by a question and answer period. Tickets are $12, with all proceeds benefitting FCF.

The Monday, Feb. 8 lecture will focus on ‘Modern Art and the Women Who Made It,’ presented by Pamela Stewart, Ph.D., historian and senior lecturer in the College of Letters and Sciences at Arizona State University. Come hear how and why modern art was different from what came before and how women occupied central positions as revolutionary artists during the decades from 1870 through the 1930s. With painting, photography, and sculpture from European and American artists vividly featured, Stewart’s presentation reveals how artists broke with traditions and changed definitions of what counted as “art,” which continue to reverberate today.

Suzann Wilson, artist and

Carefree resident, will present ‘Famous Artists and their Gardens’ on Monday, Feb. 15. Paintings and gardening go hand in hand: Both require attention to color, texture, and design, so it’s not surprising that many famous artists also created gardens which still exist today and can be visited. Famed artistic gardeners include Monet and Giverny; there are also unexpected ones, like

Frieda Kahlo and Case Azul, or mysterious ones, like Emil Nolde and Seebul.

Carefree resident Gerry Jones will present ‘Transformation of Chinese Artists and Their Art’ on Monday, Feb. 22. Jones lived in China during the Civil War between Nationalists and Communists, and he will show guests art from his extensive collection. Until 15 or 20 years following The

Cultural Revolution, it was not politically acceptable to produce any art, which did not have a positive bearing or outlook on communism. No art was for sale and no galleries showed art for sale. Chinese artists eventually began to produce world-class art, and today China dominates the worldwide Sotheby and Christie’s art auctions.

Grand Canyon Celebration of Art Coordinator Kathy Duley

will present ‘How Scottsdale Became an Art Destination’ on Monday, Feb. 29. This vibrant lecture will detail the role of art in the history of downtown Scottsdale. Learn how it developed into an art mecca and what is happening today.

SCOTTSDALE – Arizona Musicfest announced on Jan. 25 that Arizona native Michael Markowski is the winner of the Young Composer’s Fanfare Competition. Markowski’s composition ‘Joyride’ will be performed by the Musicfest orchestra at their Feb. 23 concert at the Pinnacle Presbyterian Church, 25150 N Pima Rd., in Scottsdale.

Markowski’s ‘Joyride’ was selected from four highly competitive submissions and will be performed during the opening concert of Orchestra Week for Arizona Musicfest’s 25th Anniversary.

Markowski attended Dobson High School approximately 10 years ago, where he first started composing ‘Joyride.’ His high school band had been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City, and Markowski’s band director “proposed the idea of writing a short celebratory work to commemorate the occasion of their appearance in the famed hall,” Markowski said. “As I remember it, he said, ‘It would be cool to blend something joyful, something traditional – say, Beethoven’s Ode To Joy – with something more contemporary – like John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine.’ His idea excited me so much that within ten days, I had completed the first draft of this classical mash-up – a two-and-a-half minute concert opener that dressed Beethoven’s famous melody in a tie-dye blazer of rhythm and texture that nods humbly to Adams,” said the winning composer.

For the Musicfest competition, Markowski reimagined the piece for a full symphony orchestra and submitted the transcription to the Arizona Musicfest’s competition.

“I took the original piece and painted it with a different palette to utilize the instruments of the classical orchestra, such as adding strings parts that my original didn’t have. It’s going to be a thrill to hear it performed by the Arizona Musicfest

Festival Orchestra. They have such a reputation as being one of the best in the country,” Markowski said.

“Michael’s piece is stunning, with a jubilant, youthful spirit, beautifully blended with his talent for creating imagery with sound. It will be an honor to perform this on Feb. 23, with our Festival Orchestra,” said Robert Moody, Artistic Director.

The Arizona Musicfest Festival Orchestra features musicians from the nation’s finest orchestras, including players from the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and more.

Markowski has been making a name for himself as a leading composer in the U.S, and was recently named one of ASCAP’s Film & TV “Composers to Watch.” His work can also be heard in short musicals. Most recently, Markowski was invited to join the 2015 BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop as a composer-lyricist.

Arizona Musicfest is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. Musicfest will be bringing famed violinist Joshua Bell and jazz artist Al Jarreau to headline the 6-week-long music event. The Festival runs through March 11, with concerts held in North Scottsdale and Phoenix venues.

To purchase tickets for Arizona Musicfest performances, call (480) 840-0457 or go online to www.azmusicfest.org.

As the state’s air quality director, it’s my mission to help protect the health of our citizens, especially the most vulnerable, from the effects of bad air quality. We just concluded the annual winter No Burn Day public health campaign in Maricopa County, and the results were not good. As you likely know from your own experience, air quality over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays was exceptionally bad, with soot concentrations exceeding federal health

standards as a result of wood burning activities and personal fireworks use.

While a single person’s wood burning or fireworks display may not seem like a lot, collectively over the entire Valley it adds up to a major health concern for us all, and especially those with heart and lung problems.

I thank the many Maricopa County residents who voluntarily heed the wood burning restrictions on designated No Burn Days and encourage those who do burn to burn better by

using natural gas, propane or other commercially available wood burning alternatives.

Please be judicious in your use of personal fireworks, too. Just because you can set them off doesn’t mean you should when you can see and smell for yourself how the smoke and soot collect around you.

SHEA STANFIELDARTS COLUMNIST

In Michael Blake’s novel ‘Dances with Wolves’, the character Lt. John Dunbar wrote in his journal regarding the Native American people, “They were a people so eager to laugh, so devoted to family, so dedicated to each other. The only word that comes to my mind is harmony.” Since childhood, local artist Ken Ferguson has been fascinated by 18th and 19th century military history, as well as the ways of this continent’s “First People.” Both are “front and center” in Ken’s long legacy of work.

Ken began his imaginative, fact-based storytelling as a child. Growing up in the Chicago area, he spent long hours meticulously sculpting and painting toy soldiers, as well as drawing subjects from the natural world of interest to him. Fueling the fires of young Ken’s imagination were trips to Chicago’s Field Museum, where he recalls, “I found it to be a mysterious and wonderful place. The Field Museum was my first exposure to historic artifacts from around the world, including those of the North American Continent’s Native people.” His mother, an accomplished watercolorist in her own right, guided Ken through the basics of composition, drawing, and watercolor to bring his observations and fascinations with the past to vivid and colorful life.

The idea of pursuing art as a career path didn’t come together for Ken until college. While attending Northern Illinois University to complete

a BFA in illustration, he took classes in the University’s art department. Here, he received encouragement and guidance in how to make it as a full-time artist. Ken also found art history classes of particular interest because they provided awareness of artistic styles and approaches used throughout history. To complement this historical knowledge the studio courses allowed Ken to experiment in a variety of mediums. He ultimately settled into his first medium of watercolor. Ken states, “I enjoy working from light to dark and watching the painting slowly evolve into life.”

Much as Blake is a storyteller with words, Ken Ferguson documents stories of those who have come before with his astonishingly provocative images. Regardless of the subject, ancient Puebloans of the American Southwest, a Dog Soldier of the Southern Cheyenne, or a Dragoon of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard,

Ken’s characters come forth, from the surface, to meet us eye to eye in this century.

Over the last 30 years, as a professional artist, Ken has developed his unique technique of using multiple overlays of pigment and controlled washes combined with dry brush and splatter. His use of contrasting techniques of tightly controlled areas juxtaposed with looser areas provides the paintings with a high level of detail and depth. The finishing touch is a clear archival acrylic varnish that eliminates the need for glass when framing the piece. Ken’s goal is to depict not only the individual in history but also include the objects of the era in proper context with his subject. To accomplish this task, Ken is constantly researching firsthand pertinent collections, in museums, libraries, galleries, and private collections. He also has a personal library containing museum catalogs from around the world. This, in combination with historic site visits, provides the historic integrity for his work.

Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine honored Ken as a Master of the Southwest in 2014. His “storytelling portraits” are with private and corporate clients around the world. Throughout Ken Ferguson’s long career he has been honored with numerous awards and recognitions and has enjoyed the representation of notable galleries.

MONTE YAZZIEMOVIE COLUMNIST

The concluding third installment of the popular “Ip Man” series hits theaters with the impressive Donnie Yen again playing the title character. If you aren’t sold on the presence and prowess of Yen, may I suggest that you remedy this immediately by watching “Iron Monkey”, the 1993 martial-arts masterwork that featured fight choreography from famed stunt coordinator and director Yuen Woo-Ping. “Ip Man 3” again displays the wonderful, at times beautiful, fight compositions but also adds a touching love story amidst all the flying fists…oh, did I fail to mention that Mike Tyson is in this film too.

Master Ip (Donnie Yen) is in China circa 1959. Living a low-key life with his wife (Lynn Hung) and young son, Master Ip is respected amongst the community and rightfully recognized as one of the Masters of Wing Chun kung fu. The school that his son attends is targeted by a foreign gangster (Mike Tyson); Master Ip is forced into action to protect the community. However, this isn’t the only foe: a local martial arts rival (Jin Zhang) has plans to challenge Ip Man for the title of Wing Chun Master.

“Ip Man” is based on the real life Chinese master teacher, who famously taught the legendary Bruce Lee. This meeting between

the master and the student is the introduction for the film. It’s a reunion, glimpsed briefly at the end of the second film, which fans of the franchise have been waiting for and it’s every bit as charming and entertaining as it should be. That’s one of the prevailing qualities of “Ip Man 3”, the charm that it fully understands and utilizes to heighten moments for the greatest possible impact. The audience knows that they are watching an action movie; it’s not a secret that Mike Tyson is in the film or that the Bruce Lee character would have a more substantial introduction, but the encounters with these characters are still thrilling to watch because they are composed in the same way a promoter would hype a title fight. Yes, even the meeting with Mike Tyson playing a ruthless gangster named Frank.

I have to admit that I was

tentative about Mike Tyson being in the film. And in the first scene with Tyson my worries were confirmed with poor acting, lousy dialog, and a terrible mishmash of languages. But as the film moved forward and Tyson stopped talking, filmmaker Wilson Yip composed moments that placed the former heavy weight boxer in an intimidating light by putting him into full-on boxing mode, shadow boxing and speed bag training to assist. When Master Ip confronts him, the setting has been threateningly established.

This fight scene isn’t even the best one in the film. Yuen Woo-Ping composes some impressive moments throughout; however, it’s not only the fight scenes that are a highlight here. The story of Master Ip and his wife is touching, bringing a surprising emotional aspect that was missing from the previous films. Yen’s calm and purposeful character composition assists greatly during these quiet tender moments.

This isn’t the last film to portray the legendary Master Ip, but it’s supposedly the final one for Donnie Yen, and it’s in this performance that Yen is firmly established not only as a martial arts superstar but also a wholly capable dramatic actor. “Ip Man 3” is a fitting conclusion to this franchise, going out with a fury of punches both physical and emotional.

Pet of the Week: James DeanMeet James Dean! This 6-month-old Brown

Tabby kitten is as cool as his name. He’s calm, gentle, and loves to curl up with you to read a book or watch some TV. He’s a young boy and quite small, though he might grow a bit more.

This kitty is also litter box trained! He hasn’t shown any destructive behaviors and doesn’t get distressed in new places. He would likely do well with both dogs and other cats with a slow introduction. James Dean’s adoption fee is $40, which includes neuter, vaccinations, and microchip.

If you would like to give this

perfect kitten a forever home,

please complete an Anthem

Pets matchmaker application at

www.anthempets.org.

Anthem Pets (www.anthempets.

org) is a nonprofit animal rescue

organization serving lost, found, and

abandoned animals in the North

Valley since 2005. Operating on

donations only, it aims to find forever

homes for abandoned animals 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 donation so we can continue to rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Or better yet, become a foster!

ANTHEM – Barbara Park’s famous first-grade heroine is coming to the stage. Musical Theatre of Anthem will present Junie B. Jones The Musical Feb. 18-28.

Created by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, the team that brought you Dear Edwina, comes Junie B. Jones The Musical. This show is an adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books, bringing to life a comical and not just-for-kids musical. It’s Junie B.’s first day of first grade and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie B.’s friend Lucille doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore, and on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Furthermore, Junie B. has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher Mr. Scary thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal”, and first grade has never been more exciting! Featuring a humorous and loveable character and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones will

capture the audience’s hearts just as the books have captivated an entire generation of students.

Julia Hughes will play Junie B. Jones in this MTA production. The cast is comprised of award winners and nominees ages 6-13. The award-winning production staff includes director Jackie Hammond, vocal director Karen Blanzy, and choreographer Lyndsie

Clymer. Junie B. Jones The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Performances take place Thursday-Sunday, Feb. 18-21 and 25-28 at Musical Theatre of Anthem, 42323 N. Vision Way, in Anthem.

To see show time and purchase tickets, visit www.musicaltheatreofanthem.org.
