NORTH VALLEY – Consumers spend $646 billion annually on outdoor recreation, said advocates, who called on the government on April 16 to do a better job tracking the worth of what they called an undervalued industry.
Speakers at the Center for American Progress event also said that the numbers demonstrated the value of the nation’s parks and open spaces, which the outdoor industry depends on.
“These are legitimate jobs,” said Interior Secretary Sally
Jewell, adding that national parks saw more visitors last year than ever before.
Rick Hill holds one of those jobs. Hill, the chief financial officer of Arizona Outback Adventures, said that revenues from his company’s tours benefit the state’s economy with money that otherwise would not be coming in.
“Virtually 100 percent of the revenue we generate from those tours comes from visitors from outside the state,” he said in a telephone interview.
Hill agreed that data about

Jags baseball team loses close game to CentennialLAUREN POTTER
STAFFANTHEM – Joe Navarro’s
clutch hit propelled Centennial High School Coyotes one step closer to the playoffs in a 3-5 victory against Boulder Creek High School Jaguars on Thursday, April 16.
What started off as a slow and slipshod home game for the Coyotes took a fast turn at the bottom of the sixth inning, as Navarro stepped up to bat after two other teammates struck out.
Navarro’s clutch hit came at a make or break moment in the home game: with bases loaded and a tied score of 3-3, Navarro’s hit landed in the shallow right field – just far enough out of
reach that two Coyotes were able to make it to home base.
While the Jaguars defense and pitcher Mitchell Allen started off strong – with the Coyotes failing to score in the first two innings – the tables turned in favor of the Coyotes during that second inning.
Coyotes pitcher Casey Brown was strong on the long fronts and helped keep his team in the game.
Jaguars batter, Max Calderone, who batted at the top of the sixth inning, was disappointed with the third consecutive loss.
“We knew it was a big game going in,” Calderone said. “We just tried to step up.”
As the male BCHS Athlete of the Month, Calderone is no stranger to stepping it up. According to Jags Baseball’s Web site reports, Calderone “hit .500 in the month of March while playing solid defense in the outfield.”
The Jags’ defenses couldn’t take down Centennial in this game, however.
Every win gets the Coyotes closer to being a better seed in the playoffs, and at this point in the season, they don’t want to give away any games.
“Every game is very important,” pitching Coach Bret

Diamond Canyon presented with A+ School of Excellence banner
ANTHEM – Diamond Canyon School has been chosen as an Arizona Educational Foundation A+ School of Excellence. The school was presented with a banner commemorating this designation at a ceremony on April 10.
The A+ School of Excellence designation honors schools with a continuing commitment to high achievement, community involvement, and best practices for students. Staff, students, and parents all joined in the school-wide application process for the designation.
The Diamond Canyon A+
designation from the Arizona
Educational Foundation will
last for three years.
Congratulations to Diamond
Canyon School!
the economic impact of the industry is limited and said that the importance of outdoor tour companies like AOA on local economies has become greater in recent years.
“The market has grown markedly and is really still, I’m sure, undervalued,” he said.
Speakers at the April 16 event in Washington said the success of the industry is directly linked to the health of public lands and waters
“We don’t have sales of a kayak without the clean waters and the access to those waters,” said Margaret Walls, research director at Resources for the Future. “How many more tent sales would we have if we had even more campgrounds to go to?”
She and others Thursday called for the Department of Commerce and Bureau of Labor Statistics to create better data on the jobs and revenue the outdoor industry provides with the help of public lands.
Hill agreed that the health of public lands are vital to the health of the industry.
“We are 100 percent dependent on public lands to conduct our business for all of our tour operations,” he said. “Without the public lands, most
of it would not exist.”Hill said tour operators like
him are the best stewards of public lands and national parks, not just because their incomes depend on it but because they have a better respect than the general public for the lands and waters they use.
“They provide us a livelihood and without adequate care and management of those lands we wouldn’t have a place to operate,” he said.
Jewell said it’s important that industry officials speak up.
“It’s important that the economics of outdoor recreation … has voices coming out to the table saying this is a legitimate use of public lands that can be
compatible with the long-term health of those public lands but that’s also compatible with the long-term economic health of these communities,” she said.

Around the Bluhmin’ Town
JUDY BLUHMDo you believe that the way
we look has a lot to do with the way we feel? If so, read on.
Evidently not only people, but birds with “enhanced beauty” will have improved self-esteem. A group of scientists have made the discovery that they say proves that “clothes make the man” is more than just a theory. Well, in this experiment, the “man” is a male barn swallow and the “clothes” are magic marker dark streaks “painted” on their breasts and feathers.
Yikes, now we have birds getting their hair dyed to improve their looks! Suddenly, even the wimpiest of male birds became chick magnets with increased testosterone levels! The biology professors who conducted the research claim when birds feel more attractive and “sexy” to chicks (oops, I mean female birds) it triggers a series of “body chemistry changes.”
I seem to recall that there were a group of scientists getting honeybees drunk to see how it affected their “social
skills.” After years (and millions of dollars) of research, it was determined that drunken bees fall down a lot, lose interest in their jobs (worker bees got lazy), didn’t want to socialize with other bees, and generally acted in crude and disgusting ways. Hey, I say go to any bar at night and the same “research” can be done for free. Do we really need to get a bunch of bees intoxicated? Let’s get these scientists some real problems to solve.
Oh, back to the “marked-up” barn swallows. It seems with a few strokes of a black marker, male birds began to “strut their stuff ” in very aggressive ways. The birds acted like steroid-taking, pumped-up body builders on Venice Beach! These barn swallows were getting plenty of female bird stares, chirps, and flirtatious wing-flapping. Sadly, the poor birds that were left “unmarked” began to become passive and depressed.
One scientist calls it the ultimate proof that outward appearances do, indeed, translate to higher self-esteem, more energy and better breeding opportunities. Hey, is it possible that this “bird doctor” actually has a bird-brain? We’re talking barn swallows here!
It does seem that most Americans have become obsessed with “outward beauty.” Too bad the bird world has to follow. Next it will be frogs, fish, maybe even lizards. Actually, I
have a few adorable lizards living in my backyard and one of them seems to constantly do push-ups in front of the others. This is the male’s way of “puffing up” for the female lizard. Showing off those bulging muscles is just one more way for the lizard to win a heart.
Let’s face it, looks matter. From reptiles to people, there is power in outward appearances. I guess I was hoping that the animal kingdom would be more enlightened and that the lizard without the biggest biceps would still get the girl. Or that the pale, “natural” barn swallow can still find a mate. It would be nice to believe that it is only the human race that seems to be swallowed up (no pun intended) by good looks.
Let’s try an experiment for one week and forget about outward appearances and focus on qualities like kindness, generosity, and love. Oh, I have plenty more to say on this topic, but I have a hair and manicure appointment that I can’t miss. Truth is, maybe a little magic marker (or make-up) and a few more push-ups are pretty darn good ideas. If we look good…do we feel good? I better get to the gym and I will let you know. Next week.

and REI are partnering with DFMBA on this trail-building project. The Cave Creek Town Council has approved the project.
The DFMBA is raising funds for the Cave Creek Gateway Trail with a benefit ride on May 2. The fundraiser will include multiple bike rides, a hike/trail run, and an after-party with food, drinks, and live music. The Elite MTB Ride, 24 miles, will start at 3 p.m. The Intermediate Ride also starts at 3 p.m. The Black Mountain Hike or Trail
Run is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. The benefit party will begin at 6 p.m., at Local Jonny’s Café & Bar.
Early registration is $30. Registration at the door will be $40. For tickets, see www.arizonareg.com/merch.php?idSalesEvent=17. Register early to be sure of a space. See more about the Desert Foothills Mountain Bike Association at www.DFMBA.org.

Strike-A-Pose Model Search winners announced
PHOENIX – Two Valley residents won coveted one-year modeling contracts with FORD/Robert Black Agency at the recent competition at the Outlets at Anthem. Sixteen-year-old Tarranum Malhi and 19-year-old Makenzie Gossage, both from Phoenix, walked the catwalk during the Strike-A-Pose Model Search and the Arizona Foothills Magazine 2016 Face of Foothills Casting Call, ultimately walking away with contracts. Gossage also received a $1,500 scholarship to the International Modeling and Talent Association Conference.
The two were chosen from a larger group of 20 models, all of whom were named Outlets at Anthem Brand Ambassadors. The other 18 winners in the group include: 10-year-old Zoe Hatsiadron of Phoenix, 6-year-old Trystan Ljiwoye
from Phoenix, 12-year-old Alexandera Moser of Anthem, 7-year-old Joaquin Garcia of Litchfield Park; 16-year-old Kaetia Johnson from Goodyear, 17-year-old Lynsey Lehmann of Anthem, 16-year-old Mathew Szczupaj of Anthem, 13-year-old Georgia Tomaso of Anthem, 16-year-old Kaila Woolley of Dewey, 15-year-old Hannah Hornback of Anthem, 15-year-old Stephanie Flores of Glendale, 19-year-old Samantha Golish of Vail, 18-year-old Kaitlyn McBride of Scottsdale, 40-year-old Jerimiah Skinner of Surprise, 35-year-old Amanda Taylor of Surprise, 22-year-old Samantha Childs of Surprise, 35-year-old Amber Jones of Anthem, and 25-year-old Meghan Strait of Buckeye. The group of 20 now has the opportunity to represent the center in its year-round print
ad campaigns and television appearances.
The ambassadors will have their headshots included on the Arizona Foothills Magazine’s Web site for voting. In November, the publication will announce the 2016 Face of Foothills model, a distinction which includes a cover photo spread in the magazine.
“We are so excited about the wonderful models that attended Model Search this year,” said Sallyann Martinez, marketing director for Outlets at Anthem. “It was the hardest decision in years to narrow it down to only 20 ambassadors! So many of the cat walk participants not only looked great, but were kind of spirit as well.”
The panel of judges included Ford/Robert Black; Outlets at Anthem Marketing Director, Sallyann Martinez; Outlets at Anthem Shopping Gal, Alexa Rizk; and Arizona Foothills Magazine’s Karah Van Kammen.
Past Strike-A-Pose Model Search winners have gone on to appear in national campaigns and have launched successful careers after being discovered right here in the Valley. For more information, visit www.outletsanthem.com.

Artist Betsy Halford:Connection to the past in creativitySHEA STANFIELDARTS COLUMNIST
“Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.” ~ Walt Disney. Local artist Betsy Halford has a similar vision in honoring her roots. Growing up in her native state of South Carolina, she was blessed with strong ties to her family heritage and items that came from her family history. Born with a creative and inquisitive spirit, Betsy began collecting old photographs, vintage china, and rusty metal, anything that linked her to the past. All of these items captivated her imagination and encouraged her to create endless stories relating to who she is and where she came from.
Betsy’s creative talents and attention to detail have been cultivated over time. She was unaware of how the objects, collected since childhood, would provide such a strong and permanent foundation for her creative work down the line. In that spirit, Betsy readily admits her inspiration comes from life and her motivation comes from the emotional connection she has for the pieces she uses in her work. Betsy works from
her home studio, which she describes as a safe and energizing space, a place that nurtures her dreams and ideas for the imaginative and provocative work she is creating.
Two years ago, Betsy relocated to the southwest. Prior to moving to Arizona, Betsy lived in Atlanta, Georgia where she was represented by galleries in the Atlanta area. She was invited to participate in numerous shows and exhibits
throughout the region. The move west has given Betsy a renewed connection to her spirituality and intuition, which is apparent in her art. She says, “Life is constantly changing, therefore, my work changes. I enjoy learning new techniques,
but in the end, I always put my own spin on what I learn.”
Betsy loves living and thinking outside the box. The element of change is definitely a common theme throughout her work. She thrives on combining what seem to be unrelated objects.
As if by inspirational magic, Betsy is able to bring out the common components, in each piece, enabling the viewer to make surprising connections. The dimensions in the relationships of life, those of humans to one another, and their interaction with their environment, continually intrigue Betsy. Her images are truly an exploration in alternative understandings of associations.
Betsy’s imaginative masterpieces can occupy a creative space in your life as a two-dimensional piece, a painting, or three-dimensional pieces of wearable art. All are fun, exciting, unique, and very original. To see more of Betsy Halford’s designs, to obtain one for yourself, a family member or friend, or to contact Betsy, visit her Web site at www.monkeygirlartwork.com.

Leaders: Arizona must increase higher ed funding to improve economy
CARINA DOMINGUEZCRONKITE NEWS
PHOENIX – If Arizona doesn’t change course and increase funding to higher education, the state’s economic health will decline, Arizona State University President Michael Crow told a group of business leaders on April 16.
He pointed to two statistics: Arizona and New Mexico have the lowest level of educational attainment. The two states also have the fastest falling per capita gross domestic product.
There’s a correlation, he said.The state Legislature cut
$99 million in funding to the state’s higher education institutions for the budget year that begins July 1.
Crow said the quality of the workforce would suffer if funding continues to decline and a limited workforce would restrict economic growth.
“(The lack of funding won’t just lead to) economic decline, it will be suffering. It will be economic suffering,” Crow said.
He made the comments during a panel discussion hosted by the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce in downtown Phoenix.
Todd Sanders, the chamber’s president and CEO, said declines in higher education funding could lead to a rise in tuition, which limits access to education.
“It starts to dry up our talent pool. That presents a real problem,” Sanders said. “The business community needs to stand up and be a part of the solution for the state to really start to look at higher education as an asset and not a cost.”
Both Crow and Rufus Glasper, chancellor at the Maricopa County Community College District, called on members of the business community to use their networks to start a conversation about the issue and find a consensus.
Historically, the business community has focused its political efforts on lowering taxes and removing regulations, but Crow said business leaders must make higher education funding an objective.
“A qualified workforce is what any business is looking for,” said Ed Munson, executive committee chair for the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. “We are very concerned in the business
community about the cuts to higher education in the state budget.”
Over time, the decreasing higher education budget will impact the state’s ability to attract and retain high quality businesses, Munson said.
There are flaws in the system the business community could help change, Glasper said. For example, under current law if higher education institutions obtain funding from other sources – beyond tuition and fees – they have to give up the same amount of funding from property taxes.
“Where’s the incentive? That’s a disincentive,” Glasper said. “We can make money, but in today’s environment, we cannot keep it.”
Both Glasper and Crow agreed that a longterm solution could be achieved through collective action within the community.
“It is possible for us to make a difference in Arizona,” Glasper said.

Prinz said. “Today our task was to take it one pitch at a time, one bat at a time and see what happens at the end of the day.”
The Coyotes must make it through the next five games to make it to the playoffs and
ultimately have a chance at winning the state championship.
The Jags baseball team is scheduled to take on Coconino at Chase Field on April 23, Brophy College Preparatory at Brophy on April 27, and Willow Canyon High School at Willow on April 28.

Forest restoration initiative to restore one million acres of pine forest
FLAGSTAFF – On April 17, Supervisors of the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests signed a Record of Decision for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI), an unprecedented, collaborative effort to restore one million acres of at-risk ponderosa pine forest across northern Arizona.
Arizona Game and Fish Department Director Larry Voyles applauded the signing, saying, “This is a historic day for conservation in Arizona and the nation as a whole. Our Southwestern forests have borne the brunt of catastrophic wildfires for over a decade, conflagrations that have adversely impacted local communities, wildlife habitat, wildlife-associated recreation, and resource-based economic activity. I’m optimistic that we have finally turned the corner to embrace a collaborative, proactive approach to conserving and actively managing this natural legacy for current and future generations of Arizonans.”
Through the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, forest managers are able to implement the suite of restoration activities – from watershed maintenance and habitat improvements, to prescribed burning and thinning – on a much larger scale. The goal of 4FRI is to increase the pace and scale of forest treatments in Northern Arizona in order to increase resilience and function of the ponderosa
pine forest and restore the fire-adapted ecosystem.
Director Voyles expressed appreciation to the U.S. Forest Service, the diverse group of 4FRI stakeholders, and the Arizona Governor’s office for bringing this effort to fruition.
“It’s been a long haul and we’ve cleared hurdles that naysayers said were insurmountable,” said Voyles. “But we’re not done yet; we need to translate this success to other Arizona forests that are at risk and in need of restoration.”
One such area is the Kaibab Plateau, home to the iconic Kaibab deer herd and extensive tracts of old-growth ponderosa pine. The Forest Service recently initiated the Burnt Corral Project, a new collaborative restoration effort for that area.
“Restoring forests on the Kaibab Plateau is a top priority,” Voyles said. “However, we are concerned that a recent proposal to convert those lands to a national monument via unilateral executive action will deprive the public of their voice and add layers of bureaucratic overhead compromising our ability to maintain forest health, wildlife habitat, and other important resource values.”
This spring, as conditions allow, operations will begin work on 4FRI thinning task orders. For additional information on thinning task orders and other 4FRI efforts, visit the 4FRI Web site at www.fs.usda.gov/4FRI.

TRUE STORY
Directed by: Rupert Goold
Starring: Jonah Hill, James Franco, and Felicity Jones
Monte’s Rating: 2.50 out of 5.00
MONTE YAZZIEMOVIE COLUMNIST
There are always two sides to every story. The back and forth, cat and mouse discussions between a suspected murderer and a discredited journalist take focus in director Rupert Goold’s “True Story”, which also happens to be based on a true story.
The truth lies somewhere in between the two men throughout the majority of the film, with analysis focusing on the unusual bond between the two and how each uses the other to discover reason behind the choices that have come to define them. What is unfortunate is that these thought-provoking insights are simply lost amongst a script that never explores the depths of the characters or the inherent drama that exists between them.
Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) is a highly regarded New York Times investigative reporter whose reputation is targeted after writing an article with fabricated truths. Finkel retreats to Montana with his girlfriend Jill (Felicity Jones) and begins to pick up the pieces of his now
tarnished career. Finkel can’t find work until a terrible crime connects him with a murderer named Christian Longo (James Franco) who is accused of killing his entire family and then utilizing Finkel’s name as an alias while on the run.
Finkel at one point in the film tells a group of mourning family members that every person deserves to have their story told. It’s one of the more interesting comments in the film, one that displays Finkel’s misguided ambition and continued trouble with the truth while also portraying the persuasive power
that Longo holds over Finkel. Is it all a guise or could Longo be telling the truth? This question concerning Longo’s ambiguous character is proposed early on,
though unfortunately doesn’t so much as hint at the answer than it does paint it on billboard for everyone to see. This lack of subtlety becomes a major problem for this narrative that is trying to build a mystery between the two men. When the answers aren’t being easily revealed, the insightful questions, like the one that looks at the difficult moral choice for the somewhat arrogant Finkel, are merely touched upon. Better execution could have offered a change in the dynamic between the characters for greater dramatic effect.
Jonah Hill is a good actor, though many of his skills are
underutilized here. His character starts arrogant, then apologetic, and then fascinated, and Hill displays those attributes with ease, but many times within the story these come off as heavy-handed and not necessarily assistive to the emotional tone of the moment. James Franco has an even tougher time playing the confusing suspect. While his soft mannerisms add a creepy quality, the role is ultimately relinquished to glares and stares and strained monologues. Felicity Jones is left to fill in the gaps when Hill and Franco aren’t sitting across from each other. She isn’t given much, but she makes the most
of the opportunities provided.Still, apart from the flaws,
“True Story” attempts to do something different than what is often seen within the true crime genre. By focusing on these two men struggling with different aspects of the truth, the film touches on the beginnings of a refreshing filmmaking approach with interesting questions. It’s unfortunate that these questions aren’t always satisfyingly explored.

Activists file a ballot initiative to legalize recreational use of marijuana
MACKENZIE CONCEPCIONCRONKITE NEWS
NORTH VALLEY – The Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project filed a ballot initiative Friday that would legalize recreational use of marijuana and regulate and tax the drug like alcohol.
“I believe that the Arizona voters recognize that it’s time to try something different than prohibition,” said Ryan Hurley, an attorney for the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, a political committee backed by the Marijuana Policy Project that is behind the initiative.
According to a draft of the initiative provided by the Marijuana Policy Project, the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act would allow those 21 and older to carry up to one ounce of marijuana for private use.
It would also establish a Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control to regulate and tax marijuana sales.
After filing the application, marijuana policy activists will have until June 2016 to collect 150,642 signatures, 10 percent of all votes cast for governor at the last election.
Hurley said marijuana policy activists expect the tax on retail marijuana sales, which would
be set at 15 percent, to bring in anywhere between $60 and $100 million in tax revenue each year.
He said the money will go toward regulation of marijuana sales. Any extra revenue will go to the Department of Education to fund all-day kindergarten programs and to the Department of Health Services for public health efforts, he added.
“It’s time to treat this like alcohol, and it’s time to tax and regulate and legalize it,” Hurley said.
Mikel Weisser, political director for Safer Arizona, a group that works with the Marijuana Policy Project, said the legalization of marijuana would give people safer access to the drug.
“It’s actually going on all around us right now, but this black market is not being regulated, not being taxed,” he said. “We’re going to disincentivize the black market in marijuana by price, by legality and by access.”
Weisser said it’s more than an economic issue; it’s about social justice.
He said thousands of lives are ruined every year nationwide by marijuana arrests.
“That felony stays on your record, and it ruins people’s academic opportunities, military opportunities, and in looking
for jobs,” Weisser said. “Across the board, they have to deal with that.”
Seth Leibsohn, chairman of Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, a political committee that opposes legalizing marijuana, said the costs would outweigh any benefits.
“We’re pretty full up with problems when it comes to what’s already legal,” he said.
Leibsohn said the tax revenue would have to go toward addressing the health problems marijuana’s legalization would cause.
He said many people disregard the dangers because they don’t realize marijuana is stronger than it was 15 years ago.
“When they talk about its harmlessness, they are literally talking about something that doesn’t exist anymore,” he said.
He said regulating marijuana like alcohol is doomed to fail, adding that his organization will launch a public awareness campaign about the dangers of legalizing the drug.
“I would ask you to look at the costs of alcohol,” Leibsohn said. “What we’ve done with alcohol has failed, and it doesn’t make sense to me that you would use a failed model for what you want to do.”
Daisy Mountain trail ride nets interest for conservation
NEW RIVER – The Kiwanis Club of New River hosted a trail ride on April 11in support of the Desert Foothills Land Trust’s work to preserve Daisy Mountain.
Multiple riders participated in the trail ride, which began in the New River Kiwanis Community Park arena and continued up to the base of the mountain. Ed Taylor of the DFLT Save Daisy Mountain Committee introduced the riders to Daisy Mountain area, explained DFLT’s goal of conserving the mountain, and offered networking opportunities with various equine groups for future events and collaboration. Many of the riders were unaware of the fact that Daisy Mountain is not a preserve and is available for sale by the Arizona State Land Department at any time.
Representatives from a
number of organizations
attended the trail ride, including
the Arizona Horse Council,
Cave Creek Saddle Club, AZ
Backcountry Riders, Pinal
County Search and Rescue, and

Pets of the Week: Stanley, Stella, and SerenaKitties, kitties, and more
kitties! It’s kitty season, and Anthem Pets is loaded with several litters of beautiful, sweet, playful kittens ranging from 2-10 weeks old.
Please meet Stanley (light gold tabby), who is extremely outgoing, cuddly, and he loves to play, play, play! Stella (black, white, and grey) is a real fireball with loads of energy and very inquisitive. Serena (black, white, and grey) is the lovey and mellow one of the three. She tends to sit back and watch all the action unfold around her. These kiddos are absolutely adorable and so much FUN!
Stanley, Stella, and Serena are just three of many that are currently available for adoption and ready to meet their forever family. Once you hold one of these precious little ones in the palm of your hand, your heart is sure to melt. You might want to take home a pair so they can grow up to be best buddies!
Please call Anthem Pets at (480) 287-3542 to schedule a
meet and greet with Stanley, Stella, Serena, or any of the other kittens currently ready for adoption. These sweethearts can’t wait to meet you!
Anthem Pets 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
