Foothills Food Bank celebrates new home

STAFF REPORT

The Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center will celebrate the grand opening of its new 5,000-square-foot facility from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., May 18 at 6038 E. Hidden Valley Road, Cave Creek.

Food bank executive director Pam DiPietro said the new complex will allow the food bank to better serve the more than 9,000 individuals and families in the northern desert foothills.

In order to pay for its new home, the food bank has launched a $500,000 capital funding campaign.

“We all have been affected by the recession in recent years and the people in our community have felt the impact of this economy more than many,” says DiPietro. “We have an increased number of individuals that live in their cars or in the desert. We also have food bank clients from very affluent areas. The recession has reached far and wide, sparing few in its path. Since 2008, our client base has increased by 486 percent.”

The public is welcome to attend the grand opening during which tours of the new facility will be offered. Donations also are welcome.

“Cash donations will help Foothills Food Bank to pay for its new facility and to buy food stuff at a discount,” says DiPietro.

For information, call 480-488-1145 or visit the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center website at foothillsfoodbank.com.

After thanking outgoing board members Jeff Pointer and board president Craig Boates for their service the new Anthem Community Council elected their officers at the

April 24 meeting.Last year’s secretary, Holly

Cactus Shadows offense falters in 1st round of statemARC BUCKHOUT

mANAGING EDITOR

The Cactus Shadows High School baseball team saw their bats fall silent Saturday in the first round of the Div-II state tournament as the Falcons saw their season come to a close in a 5-2 loss to Liberty.

After getting three hits in a two-run first inning the No. 19 seeded Falcons managed only three hits the rest of the game against the No. 14 seeded Lions (18-4).

“Obviously the start for us was real promising,” Cactus Shadows coach Gaetano Gianni said. “Unfortunately we couldn’t get that third run in the first inning. That throw was way up the line, but that just happened to be where our runner was. If it’s on the plate I actually think we score that run.”

That being said, even getting two runs against Lions sophomore starter Tyler Wyatt seemed fortunate.

To get the two-run first inning runs the Falcons (14-15) got three infield hits and an error.

The base running and hustle of Kyle Brown would prove critical.

After Cameron Ketchum reached first on a pop up on the infield, one the Liberty shortstop lost in the sun, Brown beat out a bunt hit. On the next play, a chopper to shortstop by Jake Colombo, the Lions

shortstop tried to get the force at second. Instead Brown beat the play, loading the bases with nobody out.

Jacob Muehlich followed with a grounder up the middle

that shorstop Tyler Zavala failed to handle, rolling into center field, to give the Falcons a 2-0 lead.

Sophomore Tyler Phillips followed with a single to center, but the Lions cut down the run at the plate with a throw from center field.

After getting two runs of support in the top of the first, Colombo had a chance to get

out of the bottom of the inning unscathed. With first base open and runners at second and third with two outs the Falcons intentionally walked Cody Roose setting the stage for Nick Morgan.

After jumping ahead in the count Colombo tried to go inside to finish off the Lions senior. Instead he hit the Liberty batter to force in a

run, making the score 2-1.In the second inning the

Falcons defense would end up costing them in what would become the game-deciding inning.

After the Falcons were retired in order in the top of the second Liberty took advantage of some

North Valley Symphony set for season finaleSTAFF REPORT

North Valley Symphony Orchestra (NVSO) will host solo violinist, Diane Sullivan, for their final season concert entitled “Spring Romance” on May 18 at North Canyon High School Center of Performing Arts.

Sullivan is well known as a member of the violin section of the Phoenix Symphony. She has also appeared as a Fellowship Member of the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood for the American premiere of Gunther Schuller’s “DEAI”, under the direction of Seiji Ozawa. Her performances at Tanglewood also include works performed under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. She has also performed for violinist Itzhak Perlman at a Phoenix reception held in his honor, and has appeared as soloist with the Flagstaff Symphony. She has studied violin with renowned artists Sydney Harth, Eugene Lombardi, Esther Glazer,

Raphael Bronstein, Eudice Shapiro, Joseph Silverstein and Peter Winograd.

Sullivan serves as concertmaster of the Arizona Repertory Orchestra, and has recorded and produced a CD of classical music titled “Soli Deo

Gloria” that includes some of her own compositions.

In her performance with the North Valley Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Music Director Kevin Kozacek, she will play Beethoven’s Romance in F Major, and Monti’s Czardas. The orchestra will also perform Dvorak’s Symphony #8.

“It is an honor to be able to include Diane Sullivan in NVSO’s May concert. She has been a valuable and dedicated member of the Phoenix arts community for most of her career; it is a pleasure to work with her,” Kozacek said.

NVSO includes musicians from north Phoenix, Glendale, Tramonto, Anthem, Desert Hills and New River. The organization also directs two youth orchestras, NVSO Symphonettes and NVSO Youth Orchestra, who will also be featured in the May 18th concert, playing pieces that will showcase youth soloists Gabrielle Lorenc, Lauren

Harris, and twins Albert and Frank Islas.

The North Canyon High School Center of Performing Arts, 1700 E. Union Hills Drive.

In an effort to bring a new appreciation and understanding to our younger audience members, NVSO will provide a word search and coloring handout to learn more about composer, Antonin Dvorak. NVSO hopes to collaborate with North Valley music teachers to offer extra credit to students completing the educational handouts after the concert, and plans to continue providing student handouts at each concert in the 2013-2014 concert season.

NVSO’s mission is to build community through music, and continues to honor its audience members with ticket prices at $5, to help attract families and audience members that might be new to attending live music events. Tickets may be purchased at northvalleysymphony.org.

Cave Creek hosts scavenger hunt

STAFF REPORTThe inaugural Clueless in

Cave Creek scavenger hunt brought out 15 teams and 55 total participants for a two-wide scavenger hunt.

From noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday teams ranging from two to five members did their best to follow clues to 15 different destinations in and around Cave Creek. Once at the destinations team members had to accomplish tasks and then document their successes with photos.

Among the tasks undertaken were grooming a donkey, dancing at the Adaptive Force Performing Arts studio and sitting in the chair for a tattoo at Blazing Saddles Tattoo and Engraving

By 4 p.m. the hunt returned to the Buffalo Chip for the review of photos and a prize giveaway of $100 to the top team. Beyond the first prize all participants received a gift bag with coupons to the participating businesses.

Fran Booth, one of the event coordinators said that while a majority of participants were from the Cave Creek area there were participants from Fountain Hills, Phoenix, Michigan and even a couple of Canadians.

“Some people knew a lot of the clues right away,” she said. “Some had no clue, but they all seemed to have a good time.”

Booth said the response from the event suggests a second even will be planned down the line. She anticipates coming up with more challenging clues and making participants accomplish tougher tasks.

The Cave Creek Merchants & Events Association was responsible for putting on the event. For information on the group go to cavecreekmerchants.org.

untimely mistakes that turned the game for the host team.

With one out and runners on first and third Zavala attempted to steal second. When the throw from Colombo wasn’t handled Liberty had knotted the score at 2.

Moments later Colombo received a pitch and threw

behing Zavala, who had strayed too far off second. Instead of getting the second out of the inning Zavala broke for third. When the low throw in the dirt got past Muehlich Liberty had taken a 3-2 lead.

Wyatt followed with an RBI single and Zach Johnston followed with an RBI double to give the Lions a 5-2 lead.

“That second inning saw us

really struggle defensively,” Gianni said. “I thought Jake threw well enough to win, but those mistakes really cost us.”

Down by three runs, the Falcons threatened in the third inning, but with runners on first and third Phillips grounded out to shortstop.

That would be their final legitimate scoring opportunity.

Over the game’s final four

innings the Falcons had only one hit and two baserunners. The final three spots in the Falcons order combined to go 0-for-9 with four strikeouts.

“I thought we took a few too many strikes,” Gianni said. “We were a streaky offense this season and our bats really went silent not only today, but in the season finale.”

With a first round home playoff game on the line the Falcons struggled in a 3-2 loss to Paradise Valley on April 24. With the loss they dropped from the No.12 seed all the way to No. 19, leaving them to go on the round in the

tournament’s opening round.Overall Gianni said he

was proud of the effort his players gave him throughout the season.

“We had six seniors this season that all were contributors,” he said. “They’re all good kids that played with a lot of heart. Largely though we were a young team. I hope the kids that return take away an understanding of how different playoff baseball is. If they remember this feeling it will help them work hard in the off season. You can’t hang your head. You have to learn from your mistakes.”

Health coach offers long-term diet tipsTwo years ago, Jack LaLanne,

known as “The Godfather of Fitness” passed away. He was

96 years old. He died from respi rator y failure due to pneumonia. Most of us might be familiar with Jack and his lifestyle of daily e x e r c i s e ,

consumption of fresh, whole foods and, in particular, fresh juices. Two of my favorite LaLannisms are: “Your waistline is your lifeline.” and “Better to wear out than to rust out.”

Today, many people jump from diet to diet and try to work out enough to lose weight and maintain good health. Sadly, some do nothing and simply follow the latest advertising gimmicks for the grocery “products” they can buy to make life easier. With our fast-paced society, convenience is key. Spending less time in the kitchen seems to be the goal of many. We want information fast; we want our food fast. But can that kind of lifestyle lead to a long, healthy life?

The latest quick-fix diet fad is detoxification. Several new books line the bookstore shelves. Detoxification is all the rage on blogs with suggested programs such as detox camps, 7-day detox diets, 21-day detox plans,

and more. Does it help one to lose weight by detoxifying the body first? Yes. Does it matter what food one eats after a detox to lose the weight? Yes. Do most people believe that after a detox program and weight loss that they’re set for the long haul? Yes. Do they go back to their old way of eating and lifestyle afterward? Yes. Is this a good thing? No.

Rather than jumping into a fad program and experiencing some good short-term results, one must consider the long term. As Jack said, “Your waistline is your lifeline.” So why all the pomp about detoxing? Well, detoxifying the body is definitely an important part of the digestive process. It is, rather should be, an ongoing process throughout our lifetime. Due to the American diet, our livers are “rusting out.” Did you know that the liver does not even recognize modified food substances? What that means is that our livers do not recognize isolated, chemically enhanced nutrients and additives, Franken-structured molecules, etc. Our livers don’t know how to handle those foreign substances. Our digestive system was designed to recognize food in its whole form—just the way it grows from the ground or from a tree. Vegetables, especially the green leafies, and fruits naturally move out all of the bad stuff that enters our systems. By increasing vegetables and fruits

in your diet and eating them every day, you’ll never rust out. Think of nutrition two ways:

1. Proteins and fats (the good ones, mind you) strengthen our bodies.

2. Vegetables and fruits detoxify our bodies.

So if you’re considering doing a “detox cleanse,” you might want to be sure to make the long-term commitment that will make it all worth it. Our bodies are the most fantastic machine ever created. To keep them running optimally, we should “move” every day and eat real, whole foods, with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits. If you don’t put the bad stuff in, you don’t need to worry about taking it out.

As a health coach, I tell my clients to consider their health strategy as an ongoing journey involving baby steps. There is no quick fix, and no one diet right for all. It’s important to keep moving forward on your path to health and happiness. After all, life is a journey, but health takes you there.

PAIN & GAIN Dir: Michael Bay

Starring: Mark Wahl-berg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie and

Tony Shalhoub2.50 OUT OF 5.00

movie review Painful script yields minimal gain for viewersmONTE YAZZIESPECIAl FOR

THE FOOTHIllS FOCUS

We all handle ambition differently. Some become motivated, some become intimidated, while others ignore the feeling altogether. In Pain & Gain, directed by Michael Bay, ambition motivates three men in ways so absurd and disbelieving you’ll be shocked it’s actually based on a true story.

In the image obsessed weight lifting community of Miami Beach, personal trainer Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) struggles to accept his place in the world. Though he routinely discusses and displays his physical prowess, his job molding people into fitness machines has left him in debt and stuck in a stalled professional position. But Daniel is a “doer” and after attending a self-help/get-rich-quick seminar by berating guru Johnny Wu (Ken Jeong) he decides to make a drastic change with a wildly dimwitted plan. The target in question is Daniel’s wealthy and egotistical client Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub). Daniel organizes a

team consisting of his steroid injecting co-worker Adrian (Anthony Mackie) and recently drug-free, born again ex-con named Paul (Dwayne Johnson). The plan is simple, kidnap and force Victor into signing over everything he owns.

Michael Bay, known more for his fondness of explosions than social commentary, displays a different kind of film with Pain & Gain than he is normally associated with. Though the Bay film elements are still here the narrative is stronger than past films, however that’s not necessarily saying much. The style qualities, like the super slow-mo action, constant pulsing soundtrack, and color grade changes, are just a few

elements that offer eye catching yet distracting perspective. The film incorporates a dark comedic charm early; watching the inane Lugo make sense of his life with the same overwhelming confidence he

uses on his training clients is comical. Though maintaining the difficult quality of a comedy that combines dark components proves faltering for this film. While the humor in the beginning is tinged with hints

of social mocking it progresses and shock takes place of finesse leaving the topics of homophobia, misogyny, toilet humor, and religion subjugated in infantile ways.

The area that succeeds most is the spot-on casting choices. Wahlberg gives Lugo an early likability that slowly deteriorates into head shaking disgust. Johnson is best as the softhearted Paul, his comedic timing getting better with every film he does. Shalhoub is also good as Victor, playing off his normal type and taking a turn as a consistently obnoxious character. There are some great character transformations throughout the film, an aspect that keeps the strained script afloat.

Pain & Gain attempts at making a dark comedy, and early in the film the inspiration can be felt, however the script lacks enough strength to continue with the socially reflective insights and instead resorts to second-rate laughs. Though the performances are interesting enough to keep you intrigued for a while, the manic style overwhelms the initially interesting substance in the end.

maintenance to its sports courts with the lines being repainted on the basketball and hockey rink on May 7. The hockey rink will also have stripping done as the rink will also be used for shuffleboard. The courts will be closed during that time.

On an evening light on decision making the board spent a fair amount of its discussion looking at an expanded palette of colors which will be available

to business owners looking to paint the outside of their buildings in Anthem.

With few exceptions 16 d e s i g n a t e d color palettes were approved. In addition nine alternative accent colors were approved by the board.

Owners and managing agents of businesses will be given an 18 month period by which to get in compliance when the painting of their business is deemed necessary.

Owners cannot use the same color palette to the buildings they are adjacent to.

From the upkeep of Anthem businesses aesthetic looks to residential trash pickup, Neal Shearer, the Community Operations Officer said the east side of Anthem’s contract for

trash service with Allied Waste expires this December.

Shearer said staff would like to hear some feedback regarding Allied Waste and the service they have provided for the last three years. Among the options on the table are extending Allied Waste’s contract through 2014 or 2015 or opening up the job for bid.

After paying $17.74 per month from 2010 – 2012, customers saw a two percent increase in 2013 bringing the cost for trash services to $18.10.

S h e a r e r noted that by c o m p a r i s o n Anthem residents on the west side of I-17 pay $26 a month.

Shearer noted that Allied Waste has indicated an expected rate increase of somewhere between 1 and

2.5 percent for 2014. Shearer said

he and staff will attempt to get a firm number prior to the May council meeting at which point he said he hoped the council would give staff some direction on the matter.

The next Anthem Community Council meeting is set for 6:30 p.m., May 22 at the Anthem Community Center. Complete meeting agendas are posted the week off the meeting at onlineatanthem.com.

I have known Tom McGuire since Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area (SCRCA) opened to the public. Tom and I were among one of the first groups of hikers who had the privilege of climbing to the fortress on Elephant Mountain. Since then we have gone on many hikes together and I have come to know Tom for the dedicated public servant that he is. Tom’s background is in education and writing. He has put the education part to good use as a docent in the SCRCA and at the Cave Creek Museum.

Tom respects the land and our history. He has helped to unite the community through his work on the trail systems. We are members of the Town’s the Open Space committee and have helped define the uses for the annexed areas. Vote for the candidate who has shown 10 years of service to Cave Creek and who represents the whole community. I believe Tom exhibits the commitment, experience, integrity and skills to represent the citizens of Cave Creek.

SHIElDS

Cave Creeker respects leadership

Politicians have been missing tax revenue streamTo listen to the language of

American political campaigns, you could reasonably conclude that “big” is bad and “small” is good.

Who has too much power and influence in Washington? Of course, Big Business, Big

Banks and Big Money, in general. Some on the right might make a case for Big Labor. Small, by c o n t r a s t , is good.

We honor Small Town values, admire the Small Farmer and, almost without dissent, claim to revere the Small Business woman and man who, we hear repeatedly, are the backbone of our national economy, who create the great majority of the nation’s jobs.

Now Congress has a rare, virtually painless opportunity to prove that it really means what it has said about how much it loves American small businesses and, at the same time, to help cash-strapped state and local governments without raising taxes by a dime. The bill, appealingly, and not inaccurately, titled the Marketplace Fairness Act, would enable states, counties and towns to require big Internet retailers to charge — as every Mom-and-Pop store

on Main Street already must do — the applicable sales taxes on the big Internet companies’ transactions.

Think about our own experiences. To whom does the community turn to sponsor the Little League teams, to buy full-page ads in the high-school yearbooks, to help underwrite the costs of town celebrations? That’s right, to the local merchants who sell shoes, shirts, basketballs and shampoo. These are the small-business people who hire our neighbors, who pay local and state taxes and, by law, collect, for our public treasuries, all the sales taxes owed.

More than 20 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that, without congressional approval, a state could require out-of-state companies to charge that state’s sales tax only if that business had a physical presence in that state, such as a warehouse, a factory or a store.

This was long before the near-universal arrival of the personal computer and the explosion of Internet sales.

By not having to charge and collect state sales taxes, the Internet companies have had an unfair pricing advantage — often approaching 10 percent — over the country’s “brick-and-mortar” hometown retailers. Local sales have suffered with the resulting loss of local jobs.

Lower sales and fewer jobs have meant that local and

state governments, with lower revenues, have been forced to defer repairs to roads and public places. Teachers and police officers have been laid off. Community services have been curtailed.

The best estimate is that, because of the loophole and free ride given to Internet retailers, state and local governments are not collecting $23 billion that is owed to them. This is not, let me emphasize, a tax increase. It is simply leveling the playing field so that local small businesses and the citizens who own them can compete and are not unfairly exploited by rampant tax evasion that benefits big Internet retailers.

The lead Senate sponsors of the Marketplace Fairness Act (which the Senate is expected to pass in early May) are Wyoming Republican and former small-businessman Mike Enzi and Illinois Democrat and Majority Whip Dick Durbin. Support is bipartisan, and the battle looks to be in the Republican-controlled U.S. House.

There are two questions members of Congress must answer: Was it just empty rhetoric when they extolled the virtues of local small-business people? And when did widespread tax evasion become a patriotic act?

What do Cave Creek voters need? In July a new town council

will represent the citizens of Cave Creek. Two council members were elected by a majority vote in the March primary election, but four seats remain unfilled and have advanced to the general election. You may already have your ballot. This is an all-mail-in election.

As a candidate I bring unique qualifications. Most of my opponents have little or no record of experience in government functions for the Town of Cave Creek. When Mayor Vincent Francia asked me to run for my first term on the Council in 2005, I had shown my commitment by serving as an officer of the Black Mountain Conservancy. I also had several years of service as the geology docent and a public events leader at the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area.

While serving on the town council I have volunteered my services outside of council duties in trail construction and maintenance, as a docent at the Cave Creek Museum and at a wide range of special events including A Taste of Cave Creek.

Being a town council member requires balancing several roles. Citizens communicate their needs and desires. A council member must depend upon staff for practical guidance. All deliberations among council members must take place in front of the public. That’s the “sunshine law.” Even telephone and email regarding town business may not relay among the council members. Then we vote in open session to set town policies.

Important priorities are identified within the annual budget. The budget reflects

issues as identified by staff, volunteer citizens or suggestions of council members. The budget is discussed in several public meetings and only then voted on by the council.

The Cave Creek Water Company operates as a separate enterprise, although it is under the direction of members of the council. There is no exchange of funds with the general budget into or out of the water company. They are financially separate. The water company must apply user fees to cover its costs.

Like the relationship between a Board of Directors and their CEO, under our oversight, the Town Manager and staff are responsible for coordinating and implementing those policies. The Town Manager is responsible for day-to-day operations. Only he is directly responsible to the town council. He serves at our pleasure.

Many decisions are confined by adherence to new regulations from outside Cave Creek. Some decisions are a clear matter of logic and good financial management. But some are highly controversial. These can be unpopular with segments of the public. The council needs to convey to the citizens why their votes are in the best interest of the whole community.

As the only candidate experienced in these matters, it is vitally important that I am part of the new council.

Remember, this will be a 100 percent mail-in vote. Make your vote count – vote for experience in local government and more than a decade of commitment to Cave Creek. Vote for Tom McGuire.

Thomas McGuire, Cave Creek Town Council

Anthem Outlets select modeling talentSTAFF REPORT

The Outlets at Anthem awarded a one-year modeling contract to four participants following their 10th annual Strike-A-Pose Model Search, which took place April 13.

The four model search winners of the FORD/Robert Black Agency contract include

Anthem residents Rylee Bolger, a nine-years-old, Jaila Clark, six, Josh Hornback, 12 and North Phoenix resident, Jaime Gerin, 17.

An additional 11 winners were selected as Outlets at Anthem ambassadors who will also have the opportunity to appear in the

center’s ad campaigns. No previous modeling

experience was required to compete in the annual Strike-A-Pose Model Search, but a smile and positive attitude were encouraged. Hundreds of participants ages 5 to 40 came from across the state hoping to grab the attention of the judges as they walked down the runway. The 11 winners selected as Outlets at Anthem ambassadors are:

• Sierra Gomez, 12, Ahwatukee

• Garrett Bonacci,19, Anthem

• Amber Jones33, Anthem

• Michele Long,35, Anthem

• Melissa Swanson,20, Anthem

• Natasha Wesley,31, Peoria

• Sabrina Dickenson,15, Central Phoenix

• Zoe Hatsiandrous,9, Central Phoenix

• Stephanie Worstein,16, Prescott

• Abigail Blanchard,15, Scottsdale

• Cameron Rydwell,8, Surprise

• Those winners will represent

Outlets at Anthem in its year-round print ad campaigns and television appearances.

“We are excited to have fresh new faces represent Outlets at Anthem,” said Sallyann

Martinez, marketing director for Outlets at Anthem.

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. One past winner, Paige Rivas, was discovered at the Outlets at Anthem Model Search and has become a high-end model with IMG Modeling Agency, who also represents Gisele Bundchen.

Outlets at Anthem is located off 1-17, 15 minutes north of Loop 101, at the Anthem Way exit 229.
