Book Review by LeeAnn
Sharpe “The Butterflies of Grand
Canyon” by
Margaret Erhart, is an “Indie Next List
Notable Pick” with good reason. Erhart
brings the Grand Canyon of the American
West to life with an intriguing romance
and mystery. Her gentle characters,
complemented by the sweet butterflies,
provide considerable imagery against the
might and majesty of the Grand Canyon.
Equinox
Sky Show
When the sun sets on
Saturday, March 20th, a special kind
of night will fall across the Earth.
It's an equal night.
Or as
an astronomer would say, "it's an
equinox." It's the date when the sun
crosses the celestial equator
(11:32am Phx time) heading north. Spring begins in one
hemisphere, autumn in the other. The
day and night are of approximately
equal length.
To
celebrate the occasion, Nature is
providing a sky show.

Chefs
of Local Senior Living Communities Compete for
Ultimate Chef America Title; Event Educates Public
on Healthy Dining and Aging Auction
Proceeds Benefit Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation
MESA,
Ariz., Jan. 18, 2010 ― A dynamic culinary
competition among professional senior living chefs
for the chance to win the “Ultimate
Chef America” title will be held locally as the
kick-off to the 2010 Ultimate Chef America tour in
cities across the United States.
On
Thursday, Jan. 28
from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., The Springs of East Mesa, a Brookdale Senior Living community, located at 6220
E. Broadway Road in Mesa, will open its doors to the
public and host the intense competition. Seating is
limited. Reservations by Tuesday, Jan. 26 to Sheri
King at 480-221-3065 are required.
The culinary
professionals from
Brookdale Senior Living, industry-leading owners
and operators of senior living communities,
will
entertain and showcase their culinary talents during
the competitions.
During
each Ultimate Chef event, two teams of four Dining
Services staff members will compete during a
two-hour cooking competition focusing on healthy
cooking for seniors.
Attendees can join in
the event by gaining a close-up look at the
competitors and the fast-paced competition. To
heighten the interest and activity of Ultimate Chef
America, Brookdale has partnered with several
national partners and sponsors to be included in a
vendor expo. Attendees also will have the
opportunity to participate in various educational
programs, including a seminar featuring Brookdale’s
Medical Director, Dr. Kevin O’Neil, on the topic of
“Food for the Soul,” a wine tasting class featuring
wines – some of which may be local, and a class
presented by the Culinary Arts Institute at
Brookdale: The Art of Seasoning.
“There
is no doubt in my mind that the creativity, ability,
and talent of our Dining Services associates will be
showcased during this unique competition,” said
Joska
J.W. Hajdu, Senior Vice President of Dining Services
for Brookdale Senior Living. “Our
chefs are masters at creating traditional,
heart-healthy meals, and this competition will
challenge peoples’ notions on healthy food choices
for seniors.”
Dishes prepared at the
event will be tasted by a panel of judges. For this
event, the judges are:
Lois DeDomenico, creator of Rice-A-Roni and an
international philanthropist.
Mayra Piani, reporter from KPHO. She has been
with CBS 5 News since 1995 when she started as a
reporter.
Dr. James Huysman, executive director and
co-founder of The Leeza Gibbons Memory
Foundation, and author of America's No. 1 book
on caregiving, “Take
Your Oxygen First.”
John La Medica, resident of Freedom Inn
Scottsdale. He grew up in the meat business,
and, during his career he made many friends
which always asked him to try their new entrees.
La Medica became very used to taste testing and
took up a liking for cooking as a hobby.
In addition, food
inspired art created by residents of Brookdale
Senior Living communities across the nation will be
auctioned off at the Ultimate Chef America event.
Proceeds of this auction will go to the Leeza
Gibbons Memory Foundation, an organization which
elevates the national consciousness of caregiving
and fosters a culture of healthy caregivers impacted
by chronic illness through programming, universal
access to resources, and behavioral research.
The event will also
feature a gourmet food tasting where participants
will receive a taste sampling of the recipes
prepared in the competition. Community tours will
also be available, and participants will gain a
first-hand view of the variety, styles and sizes of
the private apartments and the community areas for
socializing, dining and entertaining. Staff will be
available to discuss living options, and visitors
will learn more about the programs, outings and
opportunities offered to residents.
In
addition, the event will feature a silent auction.
Proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the
Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation as well.
National
sponsors include Vitality, owned by Nestle and a
supplier of juice concentrates and noncarbonated
drinks; Advanced Food, a manufacturer of
proportioned meats; SCA, which offers personal care

designed to enhance the food preparation and
presentation skills of Brookdale chefs. The dining
and culinary arts team integrates hands-on training
and classroom instructional materials that impart
new food preparation skills and cutting edge
techniques to enhance Brookdale residents’ dining

Disney Musical Hand
Wash Timers Offer A Fun & Effective New Way To Fight
Germs During the Flu Season And Beyond
(Deerfield,
Illinois) - It's a one-of-a-kind item that uses popular
Disney characters and music to motivate kids to wash
their hands the way that
pediatricians recommend. With the Healthy Hands Disney
Musical Hand Wash Timer, the natural action of pushing
down on the pump to dispense soap triggers music to play
for 20-25 seconds, the CDC recommended wash time to
eliminate germs. Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers fit the
tops on any liquid soap pump dispenser and feature kids�
favorite Disney characters and music along with flashing
lights to encourage kids to wash their hands longer and
often.
Common advice regarding
optimum hand washing is to teach kids to sing "Happy
Birthday" twice or to say their A-B-C's twice while they
wash their hands. But to prevent a child from speeding
through those songs, Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers
create a sure way for the child to wash the entire
recommended time for best hygiene. Popular tunes are
tied to classic characters like Disney Princess Ariel of
the Little Mermaid, whose timer plays �Under The Sea�;
or race car Lightning McQueen, whose timer plays �Real
Gone� from the Disney/Pixar movie Cars.
Unlike other products on the market,
the patented Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers can be used
with consumers' favorite soap brands, since it fits on
top of all standard brands of liquid soap. Parents
continue to use the soap they trust, and kids have their
favorite characters to teach them a healthy habit for
life.
The Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers
from Healthy Hands sell for just $3.99 each and are
available a twww.GetHealthyHands.com
and select retailers throughout North America.About
Healthy Hands:
www.GetHealthyHands.comHealthy Hands� Disney Musical
Hand Wash Timers are produced and marketed by SLAM dunk
LLC, a strategic licensing and marketing company that
works with a wide variety of licenses and products to
create dynamic offerings both for itself and its

SCOTTSDALE ENJOYS TASTE OF
THE SOUTH, TIMES TWO "Doughnut Dan" Brinton
Opens 8th Valley Krispy Kreme and His Latest Concept
Beauregard Food Co. Side by Side.
The man that brought back to Arizona the south’s
favorite doughnut – Krispy Kreme – is serving up a full
menu of southern fare at his new restaurant concept
Beauregard Food Co., opening Friday, Jan. 22 on Market
Street at D.C. Ranch.
Opening next door to Brinton’s newest
Krispy Kreme neighborhood store, Beauregard Food Co. is
as the sign reads "…a southern thing." The menu has a
Cajun flare and includes gumbo, and shrimp and crawfish
wraps. Guests can also experience southern favorites
such as fried pickles and comeback sauce (aka "Cajun
ketchup").
"People will soon find out that
‘Doughnut Dan’ knows more than doughnuts," said Dan
Brinton, franchise partner of Krispy Kreme Arizona and
Beauregard Food Co. owner. "The restaurant business is
in my blood and I’m just as passionate about my fried
pickles as I am my doughnuts."
Beauregard Food Co., named after
Brinton’s great-great grandfather’s dry goods company
established in 1898 in Clarksville, Tenn., is a 70-seat
family- and wallet-friendly destination. Mud bugs,
better known as children, have a variety of meals to
choose from and are invited to draw and stamp on the
paper-covered white tablecloths.
"This is my neighborhood, so I know
first-hand that people want a place they can take their
families for good food any night of the week," said
Brinton. "I hope to appeal to those folks as well as
Valley residents looking for food that’s as fun as
whittling and as comfortable as a rocking chair."
Beauregard Food Co. is open seven days
a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Daily specials include
offerings such as shrimp and grits, red beans and rice,
shrimp and crawfish cheesecake, and etouffee. The
address is 20825 N. Pima Rd. Suite 100.
The D.C. Ranch Krispy Kreme is open
seven days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and features
15 varieties of doughnuts, including Krispy Kreme’s
signature Original Glazed® doughnut. The store offers
25-cent coffee, 99-cent specialty coffee beverages, and
Shamrock Farms milk.

Flagstaff's First Twenty Years: Building Community on
the Railroad Line Many different people chose to move
west, for many reasons. However, just because people
lived in remote areas, did not mean they were isolated
from the rest of the country. In Flagstaff, located on
the transcontinental rail line, they had trains, the
telegraph, and even newspapers. They brought their
values and ideals with them and worked together to
create a community. As the largest employers in
Flagstaff, the Riordans assumed leadership roles and
guided their fellow citizens toward building
institutions of learning and science, encouraging
community investment in technology and infrastructure,
and developing a diverse economy.

Freestyle Bullfight
Headlines the Electrifying Thunder
EquiGames World Series of Team Roping
Finale paying $3 Million
The “X-Games for cowboys,” better
known as the Thunder
EquiGames, storms into Las
Vegas, NV this December at the South
Point Equestrian and Events Center.
Featuring daily events throughout the
NFR (December 2nd-4th; December
8th-12th) the Thunder
Equigames is sure to light
up the day as a great compliment to the
NFR evening activities.
The Thunder EquiGames
(TEG) is the perfect
combination of cowboy recreation plus
exhilarating entertainment. The TEG was
born in 2008 with one event but has
already multiplied to feature two
edge-of-your-seat performances: Friday,
December 4th and Saturday, December
12th, both show times at 1pm.
Highlighted by the Freestyle
Bullfight, the TEG also
showcases the World Series of Team
Roping Finale, The World Series Mounted
Shoot-Out, The Open Barrel Race and
introducing the Professional Team Bronc
Riding Finals. Freestyle Bullfight-
The best bullfight event in the business
boasts 12 of the top fighters in the
sport, in a head-to-head tournament
style bracket format. Says promoter and
legendary bull fighter Rob Smets, “This
is as good as a bullfight as you can
hope to see. Any time you can get this
many former world champions in the same
building, (Mike Matt 4x, Lance
Britton, Wacey Munsell & Andy Burrel)
you know it’s going to be a fight. We’ve
attracted the best to compete because of
the big money involved (highest
paying Freestyle ever) and the
overall magnitude of this event.” Team Roping- The World
Series of Team Roping Finale, is the
heartbeat of the EquiGames bringing over
Three Million in Winnings and who’s who
in the cowboy world to the Casino. Each
of its three divisions (Lo-Amateur,
Amateur and Pro-Am) will pay
$1,000,000. The World Series has become
the year end Grand Finale for the team
roping industry each year. Mounted Shooting- The
World Series Mounted Shoot-Out,
presented by Outlaw Annie, features Hall
of Famer Annie Elliot breaking ground
with a tournament style event and a
second year target purse of $100,000. Barrel Racing- The Open
Barrel Race, presented by PRCA Hall of
Famer Charmayne James, has accelerated
the payout in its second year from a
$15,000 winners check to an astonishing
$50,000 guaranteed. In addition,
Charmayne James has added a $10,000
bonus payout for racers riding two
horses on four total runs. This will not
only showcase the excellent horses, but
will also reward consistent riding. Team Bronc Riding- The
Professional Team Bronc Riding
Association Finals will be showcased at
the TEG, giving this
relatively new sport a world-wide
audience through a partnership with the
EquiGames. You’ve watched this event at
all of the major Rodeos during the year,
now witness the Association finals in
Las Vegas.
All events will be hosted at the
South Point Equestrian and Events Center
in Las Vegas, NV, show times at 1pm WST.

CANUCKS REJOICE!!
SONORAN DESERT CHORALE PERFORMS
DUE NORTH – SONGS OF CANADA From
the mountains of British Columbia to the fishing
villages of Nova Scotia, the Sonoran Desert Chorale
celebrates our neighbors to the North as it performs
Due North - Songs of Canada.
Performances are Saturday
February 27th at 7:30 pm at
First United Methodist Church, 15 E. First Ave, Mesa
and Sunday February 28th
at 3:00 pm at Valley Presbyterian Church,
6947 E. McDonald Drive, Paradise Valley. This
unusual programming concept is a musical tour of the
Canadian landscape conjuring the majestic scenery
and villages and people of the great country.
The
concert opens with O Canada and then
spans the Canadian landscape, beginning in British
Columbia as the Chorale boards The Royal
Hudsonfor the journey to the eastern
coast, recalling Vancouver's The Grand Hotel,
famous for housing the loggers of the region.
Moving into the province of Alberta, the Chorale
will sing Ian Tyson's Four Strong Windsbefore arriving in the forests of the Wood
River in Saskatchewan. It's on to the
prairies of Manitoba where the wheat fields grow in
The Field Behind the Plow. The
huge province of Ontario provides the story of the
battles fought over the sovereignty of the Great
Lakes in Stan Roger's The Nancy. The
Chorale will depart from its customary warm, rich
sounds to a more raucous impersonation of
bushwhackers and privateers. Next the Chorale sings
of the aspirations and efforts of working men as
they strive to resurrect the sunken Mary Ellen
Carter,
somewhere between Kingston and Thunder Bay.
Quebec offers Donald Patriquin’s I Went To The
Market,
including French text, while the province of New
Brunswick brings the upbeat folk tune
Fogarty's Cove. The Chorale is then
off to Newfoundland to tell the plaintive tale of a
whaling ship in Frobisher Bay (Baffin Island),
where a captain pushes on to catch one more whale,
only to find himself and his crew frozen in for the
winter.The Chorale's easterly jaunt across
Canada ends in Nova Scotia with Allister
MacGillvray's Away From the Roll of the Sea,
capturing the feel of a small Cape Breton fishing
village followed by Ron Smail's arrangement of Watching
the Apples Grow,
a lively tune describing a displaced Annapolis
Valley Fundyite, who'd gladly give up his job in
Toronto to be "down on the farm, back among the
family." The Chorale closes its provincial
exploration with Allister MacGillvray's "Canadian
Classic" Song for the Mira.
The concert will conclude with The
Maple Leaf Forever, Alexander
Muir's 1867 up-the-Empire standard, which was
Canada's unofficial national anthem until the
arrival of O Canada.
The second and final selection will be Leon
Dubinsky's We Rise Again, a spirited
and uplifting closing to the journey across Canada.
Tickets for Due North Songsof
Canada. are $15 Adults or $12 Seniors (62
+), Children, Students, and Groups of ten or more.
They may be purchased by calling 480-305-4538 or at
the door 30 minutes prior to curtain. Student Rush
tickets are available 10 minutes prior to curtain.

Film: Visual
Acoustics March 28, 1pm This film
celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman,
the world's greatest architectural photographer,
whose images brought modern architecture to the
American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away in
2009, captured the work of nearly every modern
and progressive architect since the 1930s
including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra,
John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images
epitomized the singular beauty of Southern
California's modernist movement and brought its
iconic structures to the attention of the
general public. This unique film is both a
testament to the evolution of modern
architecture and a joyful portrait of the
magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it
with his unforgettable images. Introduction by
architect Eddie Jones, Jones Studio.

Film: Rembrandt’s
J’accuse
April
18, 1pm
In this essayistic documentary,
director Peter Greenaway fiercely criticizes
today's visual illiteracy through a forensic
examination of Rembrandt's The Night Watch.
He leads us through 17th century Amsterdam to
provide the masterwork's background, context and
the motives of all 34 painted characters who
have conspired to kill for their combined
self-advantage. He paints a world that is
democratic in principle but is almost entirely
ruled by 12 families whose outward signs of
charity and compassion hid a very different
reality. "Rembrandt's J’accuse is
an enthralling docudrama with juicy conspiracy
theories and forensic investigations worthy of
top-tier TV crime drama."

You
Don’t Know Jack
April
25, 1pmThis film tells the fascinating story of
pioneering American entertainer Jack Soo, an
Oakland native who became the first Asian
American to be cast in the lead role in a
regular television series (Valentine's Day)
and later starred in the popular comedy show
Barney Miller. Featuring rare footage and
interviews with Soo's costars and friends,
including actors George Takei, Nancy Kwan and
Max Gail, comedians Steve Landesberg and Gary
Austin, and producer Hal Kanter, You Don't
Know Jack traces his early beginnings as a
nightclub singer and comedian, to his
breakthrough role in Rogers and Hammerstein's
Broadway play and film version of The Flower
Drum Song. It also explores why Soo, a
former internee born Goro Suzuki, was forced to
change his name in order to perform post-World
War II Midwestern clubs. You Don't Know Jack
reveals how Soo's work laid the groundwork for a
new generation of Asian American actors and
comedians. Director Jeff Adachi attends the
screening.

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is
unique and will appeal to all, regardless of one¹s faith.
Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are
Guilty By Maripat
Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second
catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty." Native Trails January 9
