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.

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.  Story Continues

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 products, tissue, packaging, publication papers and solid-wood products in more than 90 countries; Fidelity Printing, a full service and custom print company that has been providing quality customer care since 1999; Royal Cup Coffee, known for a full range of beverages and beverage related items including coffee, fountain beverages, juices, and specialty teas; and Ecolab, which supplies programs and services for cleaning, sanitation, and pest control in more than 160 countries.

 The Ultimate Chef culinary competition is produced by the Culinary Arts Institute at Brookdale (CAI). The CAI at Brookdale is a professional development program 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 experiences.

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 clients. The Disney characters and music titles are all used under license from Disney Consumer Products and Walt Disney Music respectively.  For more information go to: www.GetHealthyHands.com

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.

Session One - Saturday, Jan. 30th 8:30-10:30 a.m.  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. $20 Thunder EquiGames tickets are now on sale at www.southpointeventscenter.com  for the 12/4 & 12/12 performances. All other daily qualifying events are free to the public. For more information and detailed events schedule, please visit www.equigames.com .

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 Hudson for 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 Winds before 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 Songs of 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. Visual Acoustics won the Mercedes-Benz Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Palm Springs International Film Festival; the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Austin Film Festival; the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Lone Star International Film Festival; and Outstanding Achievement in Documentary Filmmaking at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

    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."

    Film:  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. Presented by No Festival Required Sponsored by Sechler C.P.A. P.C. and ASU’s Asian Pacific American Studies Program  Films are free on a first-come, first-seated basis unless otherwise noted.

Audience members are the students in catechism class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive comedy.

    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."
