Important Mexico and Modern Printmaking
Nothing was more fashionable in 1930s New York than to
own the latest etching, woodblock print or lithograph to
arrive from Mexico City by Diego Rivera. His one-man
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1933 was a
command performance demonstrating what it meant to be on
the edge of North America’s artistic avant garde. He
was the greatest among a large group of artists who
wholeheartedly threw themselves into the production of
murals and prints – such as Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro
Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Frida Kahlo, and more –
mythologizing Mexico’s past, critiquing its present, and
pointing to its future. Mexico and Modern Printmaking: A
Revolution in the Graphic Arts, 1920-1950, on view in
Phoenix Art Museum’s Steele Gallery
July 1, 2007 – September 16, 2007, is the
first comprehensive exhibition in years to present the
work of these artists and their American and European
colleagues working in Mexico at the time. Story

A Corner
of the Tramanto Center
By LeeAnn Sharpe
Tramanto Shopping Center at I-17 and Carefree
Highway has become a vital link between the Valley and points
north. It’s a convenient place to stop for gas, coffee or food
before heading north or south, in or out of the Valley of the
Sun. But explore and you will find it’s more than just a quick
stop point. There are a number of great businesses with
shopping, medical and recreation opportunities. Located west of
Albertsons you will find Desert Hills Family Dentistry along
with several other shops. At the far west end of the complex, in
a separate building set back from the main shopping structure,
you will notice “It’s A Grind”, “Desert Hills Chiropractic”,
“Dream Decor”, “I Seventeen” and “Isabella’s Beads”
“It’s A Grind” is a delightful coffee shop at the far west
end of the plaza. It has a large patio area with umbrella tables
and morning shade. Or there’s also seating inside as well. Pat
and his crew will greet you with warm smiles and quick service.
A news rack offers morning papers and community news. They have
Iced and Blended Coffee and Tea Specialties with their special
cold brewed coffee blended with delicious real Ghirardelli White
or Dark Chocolate, flavors and fruit.
The “TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOCHA” has milk chocolate,
real Ghirardelli White Chocolate, and rich dark chocolate
blended in perfect harmony for the true chocolate lover. The
“ROAD WARRIOR” includes their famous blended mocha with real
chocolate covered espresso beans. And the ever popular “ICED,
BLENDED CARAMEL MOCHA” is their famous blended mocha with creamy
Ghirardelli Caramel drizzled in. For a lift, how about a “MINT
CHIP MOCHA” a blended mocha, enhanced with frosty cool mint. For
a refreshing change on a hot day how about a “WILD BERRY WITH
GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE” or a “MANGO WITH GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE”. Those
antioxidants in green tea will give your health a boost!
All of the traditional coffee shop offerings like
CAPPUCCINO, CAFE LATTE, and ESPRESSO can all be had hot, or cold
using their special cold brewing method. ICED TEA, ITALIAN
SODAS, SOFT DRINKS, and BOTTLED WATER are also on hand. This
just touches the surface of their offerings, which also include
pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Occasionally they will also
feature entertainment on the patio in the evenings.
“Isabella’s Beads” owned by Benny and Elizabeth Varela is a
great place for all of your beading needs. Every kind of bead
and fixtures to build your beading
project is available. Swarovski® Crystals, glass beads in a
vibrant kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, finishes and types of
glass beads, including Czech glass beads, Millefiori, lampwork
beads and more are on hand. Natural Beads, rustic to regal,
fabulous to funky beads made from natural, organic materials run
the entire gamut. Beading supplies include a huge collection of
beading components for every need. They also carry rhinestones
and the special glue to adorn your bra straps, t-shirts or
sandals.
Classes to learn to build projects are held
regularly and very economically. What a great way to enjoy time
with friends. Book a class together and let your creative energy
and laughter flow! Classes include bracelets, necklaces, key
rings and more. They can teach you a basic technique or more
advanced projects. Give them a call at 623-582-0690.
“Desert Hills Family Dentistry” is owned by
Dr. Antczak. The Dr. has been in private practice for more than
seven years and treats both children and adults. The services
offered by Dr. Antczak include general and
cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy, oral surgery, whitening,
gum treatment, dentures, “invisible” braces, and dental
implants. Dr. Antczak works with the latest advancements in
dental technology and prides himself in comprehensive treatment,
often eliminating the need for a specialist. If you would like
more information call 623-580-1700.
Easy Street Lighting
The Town of Carefree has recently installed two new outdoor
lights within the Town core to test the practicality of
installing new street lights around Easy Street. The Town very
much wants to address concerns of unsafe and dark sidewalks and
street ways after dark.
We
are looking for feedback from you as to whether or not you like
the light post design, quality of light, adequacy of light, and
the overall impact on our night skies. The goal is to provide a
safe and navigable shopping and strolling area during the
evening hours without negatively impacting our night skies with
light pollution.
We
would love to hear from you. The lights are installed between
the Amphitheater and the Blue Sky Restaurant on Easy Street.
Take a look and let us know what you think. We will
enthusiastically forward your comments to the Town. As always,
THANKS for your continued support! Ian

NEW
RIVER / DESERT HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION TO HOST ARIZONA
GAME & FISH DEPT. INFORMATIONAL SESSION ON WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
CHANGES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUES IN OUR STATE
The New River/Desert Hills Community Association (NR/DHCA) will
host an informational session with the Arizona Game and Fish
Department on changes within the agency affecting wildlife
management and law enforcement issues. Featured speaker will be
Kyle Cooper, District Wildlife Manager for Game Management Units
21 and 26 located just north and east of the New River area.
Game & Fish is the government agency responsible for managing
wildlife in our state. Cooper - a 19 year veteran with the
department - will start with a general overview of the agency,
how it has evolved over recent years, and what it takes to be a
wildlife manager in a rapidly changing environment faced with
the pressures of growth and increasing urbanization. Emphasis
will be on his dual role as both a biologist and as a certified
police officer charged with enforcing the laws covering
off-highway vehicles, watercraft, and wildlife resources.
Cooper will also discuss the many new changes coming to G & F.
The entire hunting infrastructure in our state is being remade -
including the process of hunting draws, changes in bag limits,
and other regulations that are being implemented now and over
the next 10 years. A major focus will be on in-state hunter
recruitment and retention. A large part of this effort will be
geared toward involving more women and youth in fishing
and hunting. By securing the next generation of Arizona
sportsmen and sportswomen, the agency hopes to connect more
people to our great outdoors to explore, enjoy and play an
important role in ensuring the future of our wildlife resources.
There will be a slideshow accompanying this informative
presentation and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Come
and learn about all the changes taking place with G & F at the
next public meeting of the NR/DHCA on
Tuesday, September 11 from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM at
Crossroads Christian Fellowship located at 42425 N. New River
Road, New River. Everyone is welcome to attend this important
and timely community meeting.
In addition, the NR/DHCA will be having its quarterly litter
pick-up along 7th Street on
Saturday, September 15.
Volunteers are always needed and much appreciated! There will
be 2 shifts – one starting at 6:00 AM and the other at 7:00 AM –
it’s your choice. We’ll be meeting up with Litter Pick-up
Chairperson, Ed Grant, on the NE corner of 7th St.
and Carefree Highway. Bring water and sunscreen – we’ll supply
the rest.

WIN A CAR WITH
UNITED BLOOD SERVICES AND SATURN
Give Blood. Drive Away a Hero with a New 2007 AURA!
United Blood Services, Arizona’s largest non-profit community
blood provider, has announced a lifesaving partnership with
Saturn to build summer blood supplies.
Through August 31st, donors who give blood at a United
Blood Services donor center or organization-sponsored blood
drive will be automatically entered to win a new 2007 Saturn
AURA XR. Donors will also receive a second entry that may be
deposited at any Valley Saturn retail facility to double their
chances to win. Eight finalists’ names will be drawn throughout

Children’s Hospital patients are expected to require more than

31st donors are being automatically entered to win a new 2007
AURA, donated by Valley Saturn retailers.
Audrey Gietzen, Executive Director for United Blood
Services/Arizona said the major goal of the campaign with Saturn
is to motivate donors to give blood more often this summer.
“While most donors are eligible to give every eight weeks, 65
percent of Arizona donors give just once each year,” said
Gietzen. The three-month campaign will allow June donors to
give again in August, increasing their odds of winning the car.
Through the campaign with United Blood Services, Saturn’s goal
is to encourage more than 60,000 people to give blood this
summer. “Saturn believes in putting people first, even after
they drive away," said Dan Jonuska, spokesperson for the Phoenix
area Saturn retailers. “Our core mission is built on becoming
part of the communities in which we work. We are committed to
doing whatever we can to help ensure that Arizona patients and
their families can count on an ample blood supply this summer,”
Jonuska added. In addition to the donation of a new Saturn AURA
valued at approximately $25,000, the four Phoenix area Saturn
retailers have scheduled blood drives at their showrooms to make
it convenient for employees and customers to donate blood.
Give blood during August to earn a chance to win a new 2007
Saturn AURA XR. To make a donation appointment at any United
Blood Services location, call 1-877-448-GIVE (4483) toll free or

Local Agency to Sell Advertising
on Paradise Valley School
Buses
Phoenix based TTA Advertising Agency has
been contracted by the Paradise Valley Unified School District
to sell advertising space on the sides of their school buses
traveling throughout North Scottsdale and Northeast Phoenix.
This effective new advertising method is catching on in school
districts throughout the country as a means to generate
additional funding.
The advertisement banner size is about 2 feet high and is
located between the front and back wheels. Advertisers may go to
the website www.pvbusads.com
where they have the option to purchase a seven foot wide banner
for $1800 per year or a 12 foot wide banner for $3600 per year
on either side of a bus. A District map is also on the website
so advertisers may choose the area of the district they want to
cover. Their ad is then placed on a bus serving that area. The
banner material is similar to a large bumper sticker that is
easily removed at the end of the year.
The school buses are in service 7 hours a day and travel
throughout the city streets. TTA President, Rusty Pile says
“Most businesses would love to donate thousands of dollars a
year to the local schools. But let’s face it, not many can
afford to do that. Now here’s a way for businesses to both
financially justify supporting the school district and to
substantially profit from it at the same time. It’s hard to miss
a 12 foot banner on the side of a big yellow bus. And this type
of advertising shows good will. People are always more likely to
patronize a business supporting their children’s schools.” Lewis
Spencer of Start to Finish Computers agrees, “We signed up as
soon as we heard about it. We are very excited about how the
district is creatively using its existing resources to generate
more revenue and provide exposure to local businesses, like our
computer and laptop repair company.”
The Paradise Valley School District serves North Scottsdale and
Northeast Phoenix and is one of the largest Districts in Arizona
with 45 schools and covering almost 100 square miles. TTA
Advertising Agency is a 16 year old, Phoenix-based full-service
advertising, marketing, internet and sales agency with clients
including the hotel chains of Days Inns, Howard Johnson, Super
8, and Wyndham and many local clients from cosmetic dentists and
retail stores to state agencies and internet-based companies.

Starlight Community Theater
Honored with ZONI Nomination
Anthem’s Sherry Henderson Receives Prestigious Nomination
Starlight Community Theatre’s Director of Choreography, Sherry
Henderson, has been nominated for an ariZoni Theatre Award of
Excellence (ZONI) for her choreography of Starlight’s production
of “High School Musical” last February. Nominees were just
announced, and the final winners will be named in September.
“I am very
excited to be nominated,” said Henderson. “It makes me proud
when choreographers are recognized for their hard work,
especially when we are having a blast doing it.”
Henderson,
an Anthem resident and original Starlight Board Member, is
currently choreographing her seventh Starlight production,
“Fiddler On The Roof”, which opens in September. A veteran of
the stage, Henderson started her career at the age of seven in
the Broadway production of “Annie”. This was followed with
musicals such as “42nd Street”, the “King and I”, and the
“Wizard of Oz”. She has performed at Radio City Music Hall with
Liza Minnelli and toured the U.S. and Europe with her show
“Steppin’ Out”. She has been teaching dance and choreographing
for over 17 years, and is currently teaching at Anthem’s Dynamic
Motion Dance Academy.
“Sherry has
lent her immense talent to many Starlight productions and
delivers time and time again,” said Starlight co-founder and
Executive Director Mark Oesterle. “She takes a script and turns
it into a story on stage through dance.”
About
ariZoni Theatre Awards The ariZoni Theatre Awards is a
not-for-profit organization devoted to promoting the visibility
and growth of theatre in the Valley of the Sun & Maricopa
County. Each year at its annual awards ceremony, the Board

their contributions to theatre. Most importantly, after
completion of an exhaustive judging process, involving close to
100 judges, awards of excellence are presented to those
individuals who have excelled in performance and production
during the just-completed season. These awards represent true
celebrations of excellence in theatre.

Arizona Retail Food Prices Up
8 Percent in Second Quarter ‘07
Retail food prices at the supermarket increased in the second
quarter of 2007, according to the latest American Farm Bureau
Federation Marketbasket Survey. The informal survey shows the
total cost of 16 basic grocery items in the second quarter of
2007 was $42.95, up about 4 percent or $1.61 from the first
quarter of 2007. The Arizona survey was $48.62, up about 8
percent or $3.82 from the first quarter of 2007, when the first
quarterly Arizona Marketbasket survey was conducted. For the
last 21 years Arizona Farm Bureau has conducted an annual
Thanksgiving Holiday Marketbasket.
Of the 16 items surveyed, 14 increased and one decreased and
one stayed the same in a national average price compared to the
2007 first-quarter survey. Arizona’s survey shows 12 increased
and three decreased and one stayed the same. Interestingly,
compared to one year ago, the national overall cost for the
marketbasket items showed an increase of about 8 percent (note
quarter to quarter, Arizona’s increased 8 percent).
“Farm and ranch families in Arizona and across the nation take
great pride in providing the safest, most abundant and most
affordable food supply in the world,” said Ann Palmer, Arizona
Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee chair. “While families
watch their food dollars at the grocery store, Arizona farmers
and ranchers carefully watch their costs to produce healthy and
safe food.”
Nationally regular whole milk showed the largest
quarter-to-quarter price increase, up 34 cents to $3.46 per
gallon. Sirloin tip roast increased 27 cents to $3.99 per pound;
pork chops increased 22 cents to $3.63 per pound; and ground
chuck increased 20 cents per pound to $2.85. In Arizona center
cut pork chops showed the largest price increase, up $1.26 to
$5.25 per pound. Whole milk increased by $1.10 cents to $4.09;
Red delicious apples increased by 50 cents to $1.49; and Bacon,
up 41 cents to $3.40 per pound.
Other national items that increased in price: whole fryers, up
17 cents to $1.28 per pound; apples, up 15 cents to $1.45 per
pound; vegetable oil and bread, both up 9 cents to $2.66 for a
32-oz bottle and $1.58 for a 20-ounce loaf, respectively;
mayonnaise, up 8 cents to $3.43 for a 32-oz jar; and regular
eggs, up 5 cents to $1.56 per dozen. Volunteer shoppers recorded
nominal price increases for: cheddar cheese, up 3 cents to $3.72
per pound; flour, up 2 cents to $1.92 for a 5-pound bag; toasted
oat cereal and corn oil, up 1 cent each to $2.86 for a 10-oz box
and $2.78 for a 32-oz bottle, respectively. Russet potatoes
dropped 12 cents to $2.34 for a 5-pound bag. Bacon stayed the
same at $3.44 per pound.
“Consumers have no doubt noticed their food dollar stretched a
little tighter lately,” said American Farm Bureau Federation
Economist Jim Sartwelle. “As energy costs have increased, it has
become more expensive to process, package, and transport food
items for retail sale. In addition, soaring demand overseas for
U.S. dairy and meat products has reduced quantities available at
home, resulting in retail price increases at the grocery store.
Other Arizona items that increased in price Russet potatoes, up
23 cents to $2.52 for a 5-pound bag; Sirloin tip roast, up 26
cents to $5.25 per pound; mayonnaise up 40 cents to $3.69 for a
32-oz. jar; corn oil, up 30 cents to $2.99 for a 32-oz. jar;
regular eggs, up 20 cents to $1.79 per dozen; white bread and
toasted oat cereal up 10 cents each to $1.59 for a 20-oz loaf
and $3.49 for a 10-oz box, respectively. Whole fryers increased
6 cents to $1.55 per pound.
In Arizona, vegetable oil decreased in price down 66 cents to
$2.79 for a 32 oz jar; cheddar cheese down 40 cents to $2.59 per
pound; and ground chuck down 4 cents to $3.65 per pound.
All-purpose flour remained the same at $ 2.49 per 5-pound bag.
The Farm Bureau Marketbasket Survey is unscientific, but serves
as a gauge of actual price trends across the state. Bargain
shoppers statewide should find individual items at prices
comparable to the Farm Bureau survey averages. Shoppers involved
in this survey were asked to identify the best in-store price,
excluding promotional coupons and special deals.

PIONEER PEPPER
& THE SUNSET PIONEERS TO PLAY THE OPERA
HOUSE IN CAREFREE ARIZONA
Cowboy songs like “Ghost Riders in the
Sky”, “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool
Water” make up a small part of
Pioneer Pepper & The Sunset Pioneers
repertoire. They will charm you right
back in time with their classic
harmonies as well as treat you to cowboy
poetry, rootin’ tootin’ gunfights, trail
humor, and good ol’ fashion wild west
fun, every Friday and Saturday night at
the Carefree Resort Opera House, 7 –
8:30pm starting
June 15th all the way through
Labor Day, Sept. 1st .
Pioneer Pepper, Doc Bellows, Dusty Cartwright, "Perfessor"
Rolland, Cassandra, and Calena make up the The Sunset Pioneers.
Recording since 1996, the group brings extraordinary talents of
these six individuals together for an exciting and entertaining
musical variety show.
As
the official Balladeers of America's fastest growing town,
Gilbert, Arizona, Pioneer Pepper and The Sunset Pioneers, live
the "cowboy way of life" where ever they travel, including trips
to Austria and England on their first international tour last
summer.
The
Sunset Pioneers are one of the finest, most professional and
talented singing cowboy groups in America today. The group’s
leader Pioneer Pepper is an ex-police officer from Illinois. In
1995, he went from cop to cowboy and moved to Arizona to be
closer to the old west. He has played guitar and been singing
most of his life. Pioneer Pepper has held the title of Illinois
State champion guitarist and has performed in several stage
productions such as “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Man of La
Mancha”. He has taken 1st place in the United States
in show band competition with the International School of Music.
But his love and passion has always been cowboy music and now
proudly rides the trail with his pardners, The Sunset Pioneers.
Pioneer Pepper says, “My real calling was to help preserve the
purity and simplicity of the "cowboy way of life" and the "code
of the west" by living it with my family everyday. Our
performances breathe new life into the best love songs in
America once made famous by such talents as Gene Autry, Roy
Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers, and others.”
Doc Bellows is Pioneer Pepper’s right hand man and plays a whole
wagon full of instruments such as the accordion, piano,
keyboard, guitar, bass, mandolin, and sings the upper harmonies
in The Sunset Pioneers. Doc taught voice in Ohio before moving
to Arizona. Doc's dry wit makes
him the perfect straight-man in the knee-slapping stage antics.
Perfesser
Rolland taught math at various colleges and universities for
25 years, but remembers returning to music in graduate
school, as a diversion from the rigors of his studies.
Pioneer Pepper recalls saying “That guy can fiddle”! He’s a
3-time Certified Division National Fiddle Champion,
9 time Arizona State champion, and holds many other
titles too numerous to list. Pioneer Pepper is proud to have
Perfesser riding along with The Sunset Pioneers and knows
you’ll be thrilled to hear his fantastic fiddling when you
come out to see us!
Bass player Dusty Cartride gets his name from being an avid
cyclist and is also involved in the cycling industry. He has
played with music greats like Dizzy Gillespie, but with his
other love you could say he is a true “Metal Cowboy” “Yep!”
Dusty explains, “You could say I traded my horse for a
bike. Sure, I would rather have a horse for companionship,
but I don’t have to clean up much after my bike!” Dusty is a
classically trained bass player from, New York City and his
talents will amaze you.
Pepper’s
daughters
Cassandra and
Calena, (Tussie)
age 14 and 12 are also members of the group. Cassandra plays
fiddle and Calena plays guitar. They also sing and dance in
routines reminiscent from the days of the dance halls,
theatres, and opera houses of the old west..
They are both going to be adding new routines to the
show in the up coming months and Pioneer Pepper feels he is
the most blessed “Pa” in the world to be able to share this
incredible ride with his daughters. Gramps is Pioneer Pepper
father, and at 80-years-old, still plays the harmonica on
stage, making it a three generation show.Pepper and the band
have also been named "Fender Artists," a great honor for any
musician.
The Opera House is absolutely stunning with it's western
charm and beautiful chandeliers. The adjacent Red Horse
Saloon
invites you to “belly up to the bar” for some of your
favorite wild west beverages including the Pioneer Pepper
Margarita. After each performance they entertain audiences
with humorous gunfights at the Stage Coach Pass. There might
even be a campfire or two waitin' for you. The entire
evening is a truly unforgettable old west experience. A show
for all ages!The
Carefree Resort proudly serves a scrumptious dinner for the
series and they are also offering a special “Wild West
Weekend Package” that will include a weekend stay at the
resort, a Dinner & Show, and a Gunfight! You don't want to
miss this great priced summer package deal. Get your
reservations in early as they sell out often!You
can expect western memories and cowboy poetry with a bit of
good clean family side splittin’ humor. This cowboy singing
group takes you back into the days of the old west with the
lonely cowboy spinning tales about his horse, the cattle and
the prairie.
The Sunset Pioneers are
international entertainers, recently having toured Austria!
They have entertained with some of the greats like
Mel Tillis,
Johnny Western, Marty Robbins son Ronnie, Melissa Gilbert,
John Mitchum, and Buck Taylor. They performed for the
“Little House On The Prairie” TV show reunion at the Western
Film Festival and filmed with the BBC-TV for the TV series
“Only In America”. The Arizona Republic newspaper named them
Top Personalities of the
year. They have also filmed with the Midwest Country TV show
and are now regular featured performers of the show aired on
the RFD-TV network.

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A
DRUG-FREE AMERICA
UNVEILS
TIME TO TALK
Family-Centric Campaign Rallies Parents
to Have Ongoing Dialogues With Teens
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America
will launch a new, year-round
campaign called Time to Talk! August
7th. The campaign is focused
on encouraging and supporting parents
and caregivers to have frequent and
positive conversations with their teens
to keep them healthy and drug free.
Time to Talk!
will provide parents with practical tips,
tools and information to not only start
the conversation, but to keep it going.
Preparing for the launch of Time To Talk!,
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Chapter has
been working with local media, parent volunteers, teens and
local faith based organizations to help get the message out to
the public. "The community's commitment to this campaign is what
makes it successful," said Shelly Mowrey, program and marketing
director for The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona
Chapter. "Through the joint efforts of our partners in the
community, we are able to reach and help millions of people."
Furthering the community outreach are Valley teens who
volunteered to create educational podcasts with the Partnership
for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Chapter as a tool to enable
productive conversations. The teens who participated told
real-life stories of conquering drug abuse. For parents, the
podcasts are a communal way to connect with children by going to
the website,
www.teentalkaz.com , together.
For Kids, The Partnership is offering Talk Cards that can be
left for parents to read. For example, a message on the talk
card might read, "There is something important I need to share
with you. Please let me know when you¹re ready to listen," or
³"There is something I have done that is hurting me and the
family. That thing is drugs. I want your help and I am ready to
talk. Please come to me."
The Time to Talk!
campaign was inspired by the Partnership's ongoing research that
shows kids who learn a lot about the risks of drugs from parents
are up to 50 percent less likely to use drugs. Yet, only 31
percent of teens report learning about the risks of drugs from
their parents. This on-demand resource is now available to help
motivate families to live healthy, drug-free lives. For more
information, please visit
www.timetotalk.org .
About The Partnership for a Drug-Free America The
Partnership for a Drug-Free America was formed in 1986 by the
communications industry to educate children, parents and
communities about the consequences of illicit drug use and the
benefits of living drug-free. The Partnership is highly regarded
for its proven effective media campaigns and public awareness
programs. Independent studies from academia, business and
science document the profound impact of The Partnership¹s
programs on attitudes and behavior.
The Arizona Chapter was established in 2003 to carry out The
Partnership¹s mission to reduce illicit drug use in America and
throughout the state while meeting the unique needs of Arizona
communities. The Partnership is a privately funded, 501-c- 3
organization.
Through its programs, the Arizona Chapter inspires and persuades
Arizonans to join in a united effort to prevent illicit drug use
among teens through community-based education. The
research-based public education campaigns reach parents and
children through public service announcements, parent outreach
programs, pediatricians, public relations (news stories,
editorials), school-based programs, and educational brochures.

Important Mexico and Modern Printmaking
Nothing was more fashionable in 1930s
New York than to own the latest etching,
woodblock print or lithograph to arrive
from Mexico City by Diego Rivera. His
one-man exhibition at the Museum of
Modern Art in 1933 was a command
performance demonstrating what it meant
to be on the edge of North America’s
artistic avant garde. He was the
greatest among a large group of artists
who wholeheartedly threw themselves into
the production of murals and prints –
such as Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro
Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Frida
Kahlo, and more – mythologizing Mexico’s
past, critiquing its present, and
pointing to its future. Mexico and
Modern Printmaking: A Revolution in the
Graphic Arts, 1920-1950, on view in
Phoenix Art Museum’s Steele Gallery
July 1, 2007 – September 16, 2007,
is the first comprehensive exhibition in
years to present the work of these
artists and their American and European
colleagues working in Mexico at the
time.
Mexico and Modern Printmaking is an exciting display of nearly
150 important lithographs, etchings and woodcuts by 40 artists
who came to define a new brand of Modernism, native to Mexico –
such as Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros, Tamayo, Kahlo, Dr. Atl and
their European and American colleagues in Mexico at the time,
including Jean Charlot, Howard Cook, Caroline Durieux, and
Elizabeth Catlett. Included are views of rural Mexico and its
people, city life and workers, landscapes, portraits and
studies, broadsides, important moments and figures in history,
and surrealistic imagery. Foremost to be seen in the works of
art is a struggle by the artists to show the meaning of being
Mexican, the economic and political conflicts of the day, and a
vision of the future for this fledgling society.
The 1920s – just a decade after the Mexican Revolution – gave
rise to a drive toward modernism in Mexico and sparked the
prolific wave of printmaking for the next 30 years. While art
schools and cultural institutions flourished, debates about the
country’s political and artistic future were heated. Large
scale public murals created by the likes of “Los Tres Grandes,”
or three greats – Rivera, Siqueiros and Orozco – educated and
inspired the people about their history, Mexican ideals,
politics and society. The artists often created lithographs as
part of the mural process, or as an adjunct to their particular
post-Revolution “storytelling.”
Soon, printmaking was central to a broad spectrum of political,
cultural and artistic endeavors that captivated many outside of
Mexico, as well as their fellow countrymen.
In addition to discussion of each of the artists and their work
in the show, the fully-illustrated exhibition catalog contains
three seminal essays on the history of printmaking in Mexico,
the connection between Mexico and the New York art market up
through World War II, and the interface of printmaking and
contemporary politics in post-Revolution Mexico.
Phoenix Art Museum also will present a full line-up of events,
programs and family activities in conjunction with the
exhibition, including a drop-in studio where adults can
experiment with printmaking on Tuesdays, July 17 and August 21,
7- 8:30pm, and Saturday, September 8, 12 Noon – 2pm.
The Museum also will celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day with
an array of activities and entertainment for the entire family,
Saturday and Sunday, September 15 & 16, 12 Noon – 2pm.
This exhibition is organized by Philadelphia Museum of Art and
The Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum in San Antonio. It is
presented by Bank of America with major support provided by APS,
Friends of Mexican Art and Phoenix Art Museum's Latin American
Art Alliance. Educational program support is funded by The
Arizona Republic. Promotional support is provided by La
Campesina KNAI 88.3 FM. For more information, visit online at

A Mosquito Free Zone West
Nile Virus on the Rise in Arizona
Building growth in the Phoenix metropolitan area has
dramatically changed the valley’s climatic conditions, producing
a mosquito season where previously there had been none. With
both commercial and residential building at an all time high,
the dry arid climate is being forever changed. The added
foliage, grass areas, lakes and lake communities requiring
constant watering create a haven for the Culex mosquito, a
vector for the West Nile Virus (WNV). Many areas of the Valley
have been plagued in recent years with mosquito infestations,
and early morning and evening hours find the mosquitoes at their
most voracious.
Many people can be at risk for the West Nile Virus says Dan
Sleezer, General Manager for S.O.S. Exterminating, Inc. in
Gilbert, AZ. The mosquito season can last from March to October
and while the West Nile Virus made national news in 1999, the
first cases in Arizona were documented in 2004. These included
two deaths, according to the Center for Disease Control, and in
2006 there were 150 documented cases resulting in 11 deaths.
Now, adds Mr. Sleezer, we have a solution for mosquito problems
with a misting system that will manage the infestations in your
yard. We think that just because they’re out, you don’t have to
stay in. You can make your yard a mosquito free zone.

DEEP PURPLE
with Special Guest THIN LIZZY
All the shades of rock and roll come together in one night of
Deep Purple on Friday, August 17th at 7:30 PM at the Maricopa
County Events Center. Tickets will be $30, $40 and $55. Four
decades of ground-breaking musicianship have produced the rock
anthems ‘Smoke on the Water”, “Hush”, “Highway Star” and “My
Woman from Tokyo” but when called “classic”, the band will laugh
and patiently explain that nostalgia is not a creative word.
The music of members Ian Gillian, Steve Morse, Roger Glover,
Don Airey and Ian Paige is marked by virtuosity but is never a
slave to it. Their latest album, “Rapture of the Deep,” shows
the group in full overdrive and features intense, fearless music
driven by fire, wit and passion.
Thin Lizzy opens the show and provides a classic rock complement
with their hits “Boys are Back in Town”, “Jailbreak” and “Cowboy
Song”.
On sale at all Ticketmaster outlets including Select Macy’s
locations, Fry’s Marketplace, Ritmo Latino and FYE. To charge
by phone, call (480) 784-4444 or (520) 321-1000. Tickets can

SHANE AND ANDREA DOAN WIN 2007
PAT TILLMAN AWARD
The
Phoenix Coyotes are proud to announce that Coyotes captain Shane
Doan and his wife Andrea will be honored with a 2007 Pat Tillman
Community Leadership Award. Seven winners are recognized in
different categories and the Doan’s are honored in the
Professional Athletes category.
“Andrea and I would both like to thank The Leadership
Consortium, the Pat Tillman foundation and KTAR for this award,”
said Coyotes captain Shane Doan. “It is a great honor to receive
this award from a foundation which does such an incredible job
of encouraging community involvement in sports. My family is
grateful to live in the Valley and be part of such a great
community. To give back in any way is always gratifying, it is
the least we can do to be involved in the community and the
Valley. Many thanks to the foundation and to the Phoenix
Coyotes.”
The
awards are named in honor of Pat Tillman, the ASU alumnus and
Arizona Cardinals football player who was tragically killed in
the line of duty in Afghanistan. They recognize individuals who
have demonstrated courage of their convictions and served as
excellent role models for youth, and organizations, which have
worked to enhance the relationship among athletes and sports
organizations.
“The Phoenix Coyotes would like to congratulate Shane and
Andrea for being honored with such a meaningful award,” said
Douglas Moss, Coyotes President and COO. “The Doan’s are a great
example of the positive impact professional athletes and their
families can make in a community. They constantly give 100%
towards helping others and unselfishly give of their time, money
and support to various groups and charities. This award is an
honor to receive and we are proud that Shane and Andrea have
represented the team and organization so well.”
Shane
and Andrea are committed to being active in the community as a
couple and separately. In one example of his many charitable
endeavors, Shane hosted and skated with over 200 underprivileged
children from the Thomas J. Pappas School at the ALLTEL Ice Den
in Scottsdale on April 2nd. He provided the ice time, pizza and
funded transportation to and from the rink for the students.
Shane later bought and provided almost 600 tickets for the
students and their family members to attend a Coyotes game on
April 5th.
Shane
is a dedicated leader for the team on the ice and he takes his
responsibility as a role model in the community very seriously.
This past season, Shane could be seen on television in a public
service announcement advising people to avoid tobacco use.
In
addition to buying Holiday gifts for hospital patients, Andrea
led a toy collection for the West Valley Child Crisis Center
outside Jobing.com Arena prior to a Coyotes game. She was also
part of the ‘Operation Santa’ food drive in December where fans
were asked to bring food items to a Coyotes game to donate to
the Westside Food Bank.
What
the family didn’t give in time, energy and money, they gave of
themselves, literally. Andrea and their eight-year-old daughter
Gracie each had more than eight inches of their long hair cut
off for the Pantene “Beautiful Lengths” project which accepts
hair donations to create wigs for cancer patients free of
charge. They incorporated it into a Coyotes game as they had
their hair cut on the bench during an intermission.
The
winners will be recognized at the KTAR Presents Llinking Sports
and Communities Banquet Hosted by Outback Steakhouse on
September 24th at Chase
Field. For more information visit

Barry Goldwater High School Student Receives National Award
Danya Pompeya Anouti, a junior in the International
Baccalaureate program at Barry Goldwater High School in Phoenix
has received The Alexander Hamilton Citizenship Achievement
Award for superior citizenship and achievement in national
competition. Hamilton Awards are given annually by the
Alexander Hamilton Friends Association (AHFA) of Seattle,
Washington. It includes a cash award, copy of the biography,
Alexander Hamilton, autographed by its author Ron Chernow, a
celebratory proclamation signed by Doug Hamilton, the fifth
great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton and the opportunity to
quality for an all expense paid week of leadership education in
Seattle in June, 2008.
Miss Anouti was one of 50 from all over the United States who
received cash awards. The award is sponsored by The Alexander
Hamilton Friends Association (AHFA) of Seattle, Washington.
Candidates are judged on their personal and community service
achievements. Achievement criteria include: a general category
as well as scholastic and entrepreneurial categories. Service
includes service to the community at large and service to the
student's school. "The award was very competitive this year. We
wish we could have made many more awards. We received
applications from over 43 states and the District of Columbia,"
said George T. Cox, president of the AHFA. "Our goal is to
identify young people who have set high standards for
citizenship and achievement in their lives. We are very excited
about, Danya's potential for future greatness. The community is
lucky to have her as a resident", concluded Cox. When Danya's
achievements are reviewed it is easy to see why the
Seattle-based organization was so impressed.
Danya is a first generation American with a multicultural
heritage and strong aspirations. She states "My father is
Lebanese and my mother is Mexican-German. I am stuck between my
parents' ideals and those shown to me by this amazing country,
but the product of this mix is quite beautiful, because I get
the best of all worlds. I am a feminist. Women are still
oppressed in many ways all over the world, and I want to fight
for the equality that is justly theirs."
As an outstanding student and community servant, Danya has a
perfect 5.0, takes a full slate of Advanced Placement courses
and has plans to take Advanced Placement and International
Baccalaureate exams in a variety of subjects. Danya has won
three state swimming championships and as captain of her swim
team enjoys giving fellow team members a "motivational note and
snack" before each swim meet. She was the recipient of the Barry
Goldwater HS (BGHS) Scholar Athlete Award on two occasions as
well as the Scholar Athlete Award and All American Team Award.
Her coach awarded her Coach’s Award and for two years in a row,
the Pride, Hustle, and Desire Award in honor of her outstanding
drive.
.
Danya is vice president of the BGHS National Honor Society and
participates in several other organizations including fashion
club, International Club and the Knitting club. "I joined the
Knitting Club in hopes of learning a new skill but most of the
organizations I participate in focus on community service,” says
Danya. Outside of school, Danya is a volunteer with the Arizona
Humane Society in the cat adoption center. She also works as a
trapper capturing stray cats for AZ Cats to get them spayed and
neutered. Danya also volunteers at a local hospital running
errands for the staff and assisting in the patient discharge
process. Danya had has part time and full time jobs, where her
adapted skills have been quickly recognized. The national chain
bookstore where she currently works quickly recognized her
customer service talent and skill and took the unusual step of
sending her to advanced training so she could help train new
staff members at the store. Such training is normally reserved
for full time seasoned employees.
Danya credits her elementary SAGE (DVUSD Gifted and Talented
program) teacher and her parents for her successes and sees
herself as a citizen of the world. “Because of my diverse
background, I am not just an American but a world citizen, and I
feel it is my duty to try my best to help those who can not help
themselves.”

West Valley Arts
are Shining Bright!
After years of people thinking they had to go elsewhere for
great entertainment, theaters in the West Valley are shining
bright after receiving the results of the ZONI nominations last
Tuesday.
The ZONI awards are Arizona's version of the Tony's (or for
those non-theatre people the Academy Awards for theatre) and are
divided into two categories, contracted (or paid/equity) and
non-contracted (or non-paid/community). There are several
sub-categories such as, Musical/Straight Plays, Actors /Crew and
Youth/Adult.
Theater Works (non-contracted) was nominated for six Zoni's,
including best actress in both the adult and youth categories.
They also had several staff members nominated for Zoni's that
occurred while they were still working for other theatres (I'm
sure we'll be hearing more from them in the upcoming years!).
Also, take note that Supporting Actress nominee, Amber
Gildersleeve, will be playing the part of Maria in Theater
Works' upcoming production of West Side Story!
Arizona Broadway Theater (contracted) was nominated for a
whopping twenty-four Zoni's! They swept the nominations in
almost all of their categories, proving that they have raised
the bar for professional theatre all over the valley.
So, if you're thinking about what you might want to do this
weekend, don't assume that you'll have to drive an hour to get
there or worry about traffic and parking. Arts and Culture are
abundant here in the West Valley. Hey, we might even start
getting those "East Enders" to cross the "Great Divide" and head
West!

Andersen described Play as “the equivalent of a seven-course
meal. Each dance is separate, but together they create a whole.”
The score varies as widely as the individual dances, from Mozart
to Stravinsky, and Schubert to Britten. Play has something for
everyone, regardless of his or her level of familiarity with
dance. Ballet Under the Stars 2007 receives support from
National Endowment for the Arts, The City of Glendale and

Did
You Know This About Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center?
1. Five years ago the majority of our clients were day workers.
Today, the majority is non-hispanic and living in areas like
Anthem, Tramonto, New River, and Cave Creek, and even Carefree.
2. About 1/3 of our clients are from the Anthem/Tramonto/New
River area.
These are stories about who the Foothills Food Bank & Resource
Center has helped!
a. Woman in Carefree, divorced, two children, had surgery
and was unable to work for several months, medical bills piled
up, she had to come to us.
b. A stay at home mom in Anthem, her husband walks out
leaving her with 3 young children and a heavy rent. She had to
find work, she found us through St. Vincent De Paul of Anthem.
c. Senior Woman who was cheated out of the ownership
of her home. On disability, widowed, with a very small income.
We help with food, financial assistance and tried to locate
resources that could help her.
The stories can go on and on. Some are a real need and some are
those that do not want to help themselves and continually look
to others for help. Those we try to cut off in a nice way, but
give them other resources to follow up on. Because we give
financial assistance, and because the need seems to be growing
we are very short of funds. The funds that we have been
receiving are used to purchase food.

Starlight
Community Theater Honored with ZONI Nomination
Anthem’s Sherry Henderson Receives Prestigious Nomination
Starlight Community Theatre’s Director of Choreography, Sherry
Henderson, has been nominated for an ariZoni Theatre Award of
Excellence (ZONI) for her choreography of Starlight’s production
of “High School Musical” last February. Nominees were just
announced, and the final winners will be named in September.
“I am very
excited to be nominated,” said Henderson. “It makes me proud
when choreographers are recognized for their hard work,
especially when we are having a blast doing it.”
Henderson,
an Anthem resident and original Starlight Board Member, is
currently choreographing her seventh Starlight production,
“Fiddler On The Roof”, which opens in September. A veteran of
the stage, Henderson started her career at the age of seven in
the Broadway production of “Annie”. This was followed with
musicals such as “42nd Street”, the “King and I”, and the
“Wizard of Oz”. She has performed at Radio City Music Hall with
Liza Minnelli and toured the U.S. and Europe with her show
“Steppin’ Out”. She has been teaching dance and choreographing
for over 17 years, and is currently teaching at Anthem’s Dynamic

CHICAGO and
MOVIN’ OUT TICKETS TO GO ON SALE
Two of Broadway’s biggest hits, CHICAGO THE MUSICAL as
well as Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp’s MOVIN’ OUT will be
presented in Northwest Phoenix at the Maricopa County Events
Center, 19403 RH Johnson Blvd. Tickets for these shows will
go on sale August 12
at 10 am. Tickets for CHICAGO THE MUSICAL are $60,
$50 and $40 and tickets for MOVIN’ OUT are $50,
$40 & $30. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster,
the Maricopa County Events Center Box Office, or by calling
480-784-4444 or on-line at
www.ticketmaster.com . Performances of CHICAGO THE MUSICAL
are
Friday September 21st, at 8:00 pm and Saturday September 22nd,
at 2:00pm and 8:00 pm. Performances of MOVIN’ OUT are
Friday October 19th, at
8:00 pm and Saturday October 20th, at 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
CHICAGO,
winner of 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and a
Grammy Award for its cast recording, has the distinction of
being Broadway’s longest running revival, and celebrated its’ 10
year anniversary at the Ambassador Theatre in New York on
November 14th, 2006. Its story of two real life murderesses and
a lawyer who turns them into media celebrities is a page right
out of today’s newspapers. The immense worldwide success of
CHICAGO spawned the Academy Award winning film version. But,
seeing it live is an experience you will never forget. The jazz,
the style, the music, and the dancing all add up to an
experience that will exhilarate. CHICAGO is a production not to
be missed. And all the reviewers agree. Time Magazine calls it
“A Triumph,” Newsweek raves “Smashing” and Entertainment Weekly
sums it up by calling CHICAGO “Broadway’s Most Electrifying
Show.”
MOVIN’
OUT, the Tony Award-winning new musical conceived, choreographed
and directed by Twyla Tharp and based on 24 classic songs by
Billy Joel, opens in Sun City West at the Maricopa County Events
Center on October 19th. This engagement of MOVIN’ OUT will mark
the Northwest Phoenix premiere of the show that critics say
revolutionized musical theatre as we know it. “So exhilarating
and soul-stirring, it practically bursts out of the theatre,”
said Time Magazine. “Movin’ Out is electrifying!
The union of Tharp and Joel is one made in heaven,” raved the
Chicago Tribune. Told through the choreography of Twyla
Tharp and more than two dozen of Billy Joel’s songs, MOVIN' OUT
is the story of lifelong friends through two turbulent decades
that change them and the world around them forever. Songs like
“It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire,”
and “Pressure” all come together to weave a musical backdrop
which beautifully complements Tharp’s innovative choreography.
The songs and dance take audiences through a poignant narrative
comprised of three main elements: post-World War II idealism,
the Vietnam War and its subsequent unrest, and finally,
survival.

Maricopa
Community Colleges Gear Up for Fall Semester
The ten Maricopa Community Colleges and two Skill Centers are
preparing for the final registration push before the fall
semester begins Saturday, August 18th. Rio Salado College
classes begin every two weeks except August and December, and
Rio’s August classes begin
Monday, August 20.
New and
renovated facilities, most of it the result of the successful
passage of a 2004 bond issue, as well as new faculty at each
college, and a new tuition payment program that began last
October will greet the hundreds of thousands of students
beginning new coursework in August.
Registration Week will be emphasized at the colleges beginning
Monday, August 6,
culminating in Saturday registration available at all the
colleges on August
11th. Some of
the colleges, like Chandler-Gilbert Community College in the
southeast valley, will begin New Student Orientation on
Saturday, August 4th. Others, like Glendale Community College in
the west valley, will a host a series of orientations for new
students and scholarship recipients during Registration Week,
including two sessions for parents of new students. Those
interested in knowing more about Rio’s online classes are
encouraged to attend Maricopa Fest, which Rio is hosting on
August
11th.
The Maricopa Community Colleges’ District Office is also
pitching in. Recent statistics showed that most of those
visiting the district’s web site were external visitors looking
for classes and programs, and that prompted the marketing and
student services departments to redesign the site to serve
prospective students. It went live Friday, July 27th at the same
address,
www.maricopa.edu
and has been streamlined to help prospective students reach
the program, class and college of their choice.
The
tuition rate for Maricopa County residents is $65 per credit. An
automated payment plan, called e-Cashier, made its debut last
October and is available to all students. For a $20 fee per
semester, it allows students to pay for their tuition and fees
in smaller increments over a longer period of time while
attending any of the 10 Maricopa Community Colleges. More
than 240,000 students are expected to attend Maricopa classes
this coming academic year. Registration details and more
information on course offerings at each of the Maricopa
Community Colleges are available by visiting their web sites, or
by going to the district’s web site at
www.maricopa.edu

SOUTHWEST AMBULANCE PREPARED FOR
POSSIBLE LOCAL DISASTERS
The Minnesota bridge collapse is another reminder of why
Southwest Ambulance trains for, and is prepared should, a local
or regional mass casualty incident occur. As the largest
ambulance transportation provider in Arizona with more than 300
ambulances, Southwest Ambulance has the infrastructure and
training necessary to quickly respond in a disaster in
partnership with area Fire Department personnel.
In Maricopa and Pinal County, Southwest has about 225
ambulances and more than 700 field personnel including Emergency
Medical Technicians, Paramedics, and Registered Nurses. Another
75 ambulances and hundreds more personnel are in Tucson.
Southwest Ambulance’s new regional headquarters campus in Mesa
was also built with mass-disaster considerations in mind. It’s
35,000 square foot medical warehouse holds more than 90 days
worth of medical supplies available during an emergency. The
campus also includes an Emergency Operations Command Center (EOC)
with more than 100 phone and computer hook-ups on an emergency
generator available for area public safety agencies in an
emergency.
“If a natural or man-made disaster were to occur in Arizona,
Southwest would be transporting a large number of those patients
as the State’s largest ambulance transportation provider,” said
Jeff Sargent, President of Southwest Ambulance. “We regularly
participate in local drills under the direction of State,
Federal or Fire Department lead agencies to give our management
and crews realistic simulations and practice opportunities that
can save lives during a real emergency.”
Southwest Ambulance was the only private ambulance provider to
participate in training exercises by the National Disaster
Management System (NDMS) and the Sky Harbor Airport drill
required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2006.
In both scenarios, Southwest field personnel worked with the
Phoenix Fire Department and other agencies in treating and
transporting “patients” to area hospitals to allow those
facilities to participate in the drill.
Southwest Ambulance has also assisted in disasters beyond
Arizona. Just a few years ago, Southwest sent ten ambulances
and more than 25 dedicated employees to help in Texas before,
during and after Hurricane Rita.

Moving Expert Teaches Women How
to “Move On”
A veteran of 14 moves, Susan Miller knows first-hand the
emotional turmoil that relocation can wreak on a woman and her
family. The author of two Focus on the Family books on
the subject, as well as founder of an international ministry
that helps women adjust to moving, Miller will share some of her
insights at a women’s breakfast scheduled for Aug. 18th, at
Vineyard Church in Anthem. The two-hour breakfast begins at 9:30
a.m. and childcare is available.
It was a particularly difficult move from Atlanta to Scottsdale
that prompted Miller to form Just Moved Ministries in 1995 and
write her first book, “After the Boxes are Unpacked: Moving On
After Moving In.” She followed it up with a Leaders Manual and
newcomer’s Workbook to enable others to lead Moving On After
Moving In classes in churches, neighborhoods and at military
bases. Today, there are hundreds of classes available in
two-thirds of the United States as well as several countries.
Miller said the need for such classes is particularly great in
Arizona the nation’s fastest growing state and in Maricopa
County where U.S. Census figures show nearly 700,000 newcomers
took up residence between 2000 and 2006. “Women are basically
nesters and a move can leave them feeling uprooted, disconnected
and grieving for what they left behind,” Miller said. “They need
to know the steps they can take to let go of the past and thrive
in their new location.” A 13-week Moving On After Moving In
class will be offered from 9-11 a.m. Mondays starting Sept.
10th, at Vineyard Church in Anthem. Miller wrote a second Focus on the Family book, 'But Mom, I
Don't Want to Move!' as a resource for mothers to help their
children through the transition and adjustment of a move. Miller
and her husband of 41 years, Bill, are currently working on a
book that addresses the effects of moving on marriage. In
addition to teaching materials, Miller wrote the 'New Neighbor's
Pocket Guide' for families in transition. Her books will be
available for purchase at the breakfast. Cost for the breakfast is $10 per person, however, first time
guests are free. Vineyard Church in Anthem is located two blocks
South of the Hampton Inn, at 42105 N. 41st Drive. For
reservations, or for more information on the class, call
623.551.1133, e-mail

Leadership Matters
by Connie Harris, Associate Superintendent of Educational
Services Deer Valley Unified School District
"Sixty percent of principals will leave their positions in the
next five years. Newsweek (May 28th, 2007) The Arizona Republic
(May 25, 2007) and the National Associations for Elementary and
Secondary Principals also confirm this data. The Deer Valley
Unified School District is addressing the potential loss of
experienced principals in a proactive manner. We know that
leadership does matter. It matters in the business world, and
now research from McRel (2003) provides documentation that more
than supports the notion that leadership matters in the world of
education.
We have been bombarded with media on the teacher shortage for
our schools, and it is true, when one is striving to hire highly
qualified teachers. Lurking right under the surface though is
an even larger concern. There now is a dearth of teachers
choosing to step into the role of principal or assistant
principal. So what do we do?
DVUSD is now expanding from partnering with Northern Arizona
State University and Arizona State University's Tempe campuses.
We are establishing two focused cohorts of teachers working on
their masters' degrees in Educational Leadership. One group is
composed of virtually all DVUSD teachers who have been
encouraged to pursue their education through a Master's degree
in educational leadership. This customized educational plan
blends the specifics of the district with the overarching
competencies and standards of leadership. Dr. Suzanne Painter
is the contact person at ASU's West Campus who coordinates
efforts with us.
The most recent forthcoming effort in developing future leaders
is coming out of the ASU West campus. It will begin in January
2008 and is based on a successful program from San Jose State
University. This particular cohort is focused on high school
leadership development, where the shortage of a highly qualified
applicant pool appears to be of most concern nationally and
locally. Dr. Marsha Speck of ASU West Campus is the point
person for this endeavor.
Since we know that leadership matters, we know that we must be
proactive in developing our future principals and assistant
principals. We are excited about the various opportunities that
are available to those who are interested in making a difference
through leadership.
Information Technology
by Jacque Boyer,Career and Technical Education Coordinator Deer
Valley Unified School District
Information Technology involves all aspects of using a
computer. For many years, public schools have implemented
computer technology by offering classes that taught students how
to use the computers to process information. For example,
students were taught the Microsoft Office Suite with the idea
they would need those skills as an office support employee and
they would be helpful in college. This was needed and very
useful… ten years ago. Yet, most students start using this type
of application software as preschoolers. We find that by the
time kids are in high school, there is little need for
formalized instruction in this area but the need for high
technology skills have replaced the fundamental information
processing skills.
The basic skills in information technology have changed from
simple spread sheets to analysis of data, utilizing web design
software, and being able to design, install and maintain simple
networks. Student's post-secondary foundation skills require
the ability to use off-campus learning environments by
submitting projects with live chats and streaming videos, high
resolution graphics and communication skills connecting learning
institutions across oceans.
Meeting the needs of college bound students- Deer Valley has
restructured their Computer Application classes to meet the more
rigorous needs of Information Technology programs of study.
Each high school will offer a basic Introduction to Computers
that will be dual enrolled with CIS 105 - Survey of Computer
Information Systems at Maricopa Community Colleges. Part of the
course delivery will ready students for the complete college
experience by using BlackBoard, the number one software in
universities for distance learning.
As students progress from the foundational course, options will
be available to refine their interests and develop specific
skill in other areas of Info Tech. At Boulder Creek High School,
students may want to learn current programming languages used in
the gaming world. Others may wish to learn how to develop and
maintain web pages. Yes, students will still work with
Microsoft Office, but will have opportunities expand the
fundamentals on other industry current software such as the
Adobe Creative Suite.
Bringing the teachers along with the students- With the help of
West-MEC, a joint technology education district, six teachers
have been participating in specific staff development that
updates their abilities to deliver the new Information
Technologies content. West-MEC approved a New Program
Implementation Grant that pays teachers to take classes,
collaborate and share best practices with other programs and to
upgrade their computer labs for the increased rigor demanded in
this program. This is just the beginning as staff development
continues the 2nd year as authentic project design and
work-based experiences become woven into the advanced levels.
Looking back, Career and Technical Education became the first
programs to actually teach computer skills - back when
keyboarding was considered a skill. We taught the techniques of
office correspondence, data files, and presentations using
PowerPoint. According to former Secretary of Education, Richard
Riley, the ten jobs that will be most in demand in 2010 didn't
exist last year. Career and Technical Education is preparing
students for high skilled, high demand careers - even those
remaining undefined, using all the latest and best industry
relevant tools available.

Needing a Few Good Young Men &
Women:
AZDance Group, the professional contemporary ballet, jazz and
modern dance company under the direction of Kenda Newbury, is
looking for trained high school dance students to fill six spots
in their 2007 Community Educational Outreach Program (CEOP).
Last season three students were chosen from Boulder Creek High
School dance department under the direction of Stacy Shane.
Requirements: Must be enrolled in high school, take dance
classes at the high school, have and maintain good grades, have
transportation, be committed to dance, commit and attend all
rehearsals and performances. This is a by-selection/invitation
process only, so please send a letter of interest with three
references (one MUST be your high-school dance instructor) to
AZDance Group c/o 3722 W. Denali Drive, Anthem, AZ 85086. A
member of the selection committee will then view the student
during class or performance.
High School students receive incredible experience working with
a professional dance company, an opportunity that otherwise
would not be available to these students. AZDance Group is
committed to providing exceptional educational opportunities and
giving back to the communities. For further information on the
company visit
www.azdance.org and

director at 480-215-1916.

Tomato-Throwing Festival
Celebrated
The name Tomatina comes from a festival to celebrate the tomato
harvest in Buñol, Spain. On the last Wednesday of August, at the
peak of tomato season, the village of Buñol, Spain stages a
tomato war. For two hours, the otherwise sober citizenry happily
pelt each other with ripe, red fruit and the streets turn into
rivers of tomato juice. After much laughter, spirited mischief
and camaraderie, friends and neighbors gather in the town square
for the food and wine festivities. They call it 'La Tomatina'.
Instead of throwing tomatoes at each other, participants will
be throwing tomatoes into a blender & creating the best Gazpacho
the Valley has ever tasted. They will be judged by celebrity
judges and win the title of Tomate Grande!
Following the judging, there will be Flamenco dancing, music,
light tapas (and more gazpacho!). Experience Flamenco at its
most enjoyable with artists from Un Corazón Flamenco and
students and aficionados of Flamenco! For entry instructions or
reservations, contact: Linda Machado 480-205-1658 or

Fresh Comes First at Arizona's
First Fresca's Mexican Grill
From fiesta platters to ensaladas to burritos, freshness comes

Outlets at Anthem Food Court. The Orange County based eatery
opened their first Arizona location last week offering customers
gourmet Mexican food in a fast-paced environment. "We are
extremely excited about the addition of Fresca's Mexican Grill.
It was the perfect choice to compliment the seven other
restaurants currently open," Jo Ann Truax, Outlets at Anthem's

with entrees ranging from $3.50-$8.50, Fresca's Mexican Grill
offers diners fast, efficient service and deliciously healthy
menu options. Generous portions include traditional Mexican food
fare such as tacos and enchiladas but for the un-traditional,

available. Cooking only in cholesterol-free Canola oil and using
lean meats that are prepared fresh daily, healthy eating is a
priority at Fresca's Mexican Grill. And, turnaround time is
fast. Once an order is taken, the customer is given a pager that
vibrates within minutes to indicate the freshly prepared meal is
ready and a beverage in a self-serve refillable cup. Need an
event catered? The eatery will deliver platters that feed 25-100
people offering various combinations of Mexican fare. Fresca's
Mexican Grill joins seven other Outlets at Anthem Food Court
eateries including Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Charley's Grilled

HITTING CANCER WITH A CLUB:
Annual Golf Tournament to Benefit Myeloma Patients and
Families
The third annual Arizona Myeloma Network Charity Golf
Tournament will be held on Friday, September 21st, at the Orange

rate of early diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for
myeloma sufferers.
The Orange Tree Golf Resort is considered by many golfing
enthusiasts to be one of the Valley's best courses. Barbara
remarks, "It's called one of Arizona's must-play courses, so our
tournament will provide both an opportunity to support a great
cause, and get in a great round of golf."
Fees are $150 per person or $575 for a foursome, and include a
golf scramble, box lunch, and dinner. A variety of awards,

BRIO FINE ARTS CENTER LAUNCHES
2007-2008 EXHIBIT SEASON
Founded in 2003 as a student/artist exhibition
center offering instruction for both adults and children, BRIO
Fine Arts Center kicks off their fifth season of exciting art
shows Saturday, September 8th, 6-9pm. “We’re delighted to be
featuring the work of Matt Mays, one of the Southwest’s most
exciting young artists, as our first exhibit of the new season,
” says Diane Sanborn, director of the center located at 8340 E.
Raintree in the Scottsdale Air Park.
Abstracts that celebrate subtle nuances and bold
colors Combining watercolor washes and thick plastic impasto,
the abstract paintings of An Infinite Series of Accidental
Events both surprise and challenge the viewer’s
perspective. “When someone gazes at abstract imagery, they tend
to search for objective realities in the work,” says Mays. “My
advice is to let your subconscious take over; it answers
questions that the conscious doesn’t know to ask.”
An artistic journey that encompassed New York
City, born in Sydney, Australia, Mays grew up on a tobacco farm
in Appomattox, Virginia. After receiving a BFA in Illinois, he
went on to the Art Students League in NYC and served as a studio
assistant to a pupil of Hans Hofmann (1880-1966). (This famous
German-American painter introduced cosmopolitan modernism to the
USA and counted many New York painters among his disciples.)
Establishing an enviable track record “overnight”
since moving to the Valley only two years ago, Mays opened a
studio on 5th Avenue in the Scottsdale Arts District. The work
he created for the Guitar Mania event, which benefited the Big
Brothers Big Sisters organization, was featured in the
Arizona Republic last November.
Mays’ artworks are owned by a number of avid
collectors; including country/western legend Willie Nelson as
well as the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and the
Internet’s Google. As a matter of fact, some earlier works are
on display in Google’s Arizona Headquarters.
Study with a rising star “We’re happy to
announce that Matt will be teaching two evening classes, acrylic
painting and drawing, beginning September 10th,” says Sanborn.
“Since these classes will undoubtedly fill up fast, I suggest
you contact BRIO at 480-941-8310 or online at
www.briofinearts.com ”

to sell advertising space on the sides of their school buses
traveling throughout North Scottsdale and Northeast Phoenix.
This effective new advertising method is catching on in school
districts throughout the country as a means to generate
additional funding.
The advertisement banner size is about 2 feet high and is
located between the front and back wheels. Advertisers may go to
the website www.pvbusads.com
where they have the option to purchase a seven foot wide banner
for $1800 per year or a 12 foot wide banner for $3600 per year
on either side of a bus. A District map is also on the website
so advertisers may choose the area of the district they want to
cover. Their ad is then placed on a bus serving that area. The
banner material is similar to a large bumper sticker that is
easily removed at the end of the year.

local and regional businesses to provide free ballet
performances throughout the area.
Ballet Under the Stars 2007 will feature excerpts from Play,
Artistic Director Ib Andersen’s newest full-length work whose
world premiere was the finale of the Ballet’s 2006–7 season.
Andersen described Play as “the equivalent of a seven-course
meal. Each dance is separate, but together they create a whole.”
The score varies as widely as the individual dances, from Mozart
to Stravinsky, and Schubert to Britten. Play has something for
everyone, regardless of his or her level of familiarity with
dance. Ballet Under the Stars 2007 receives support from
National Endowment for the Arts, The City of Glendale and
Glendale Arts Commission, The Town of Fountain Hills, and APS.

Did
You Know This About Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center?
1. Five years ago the majority of our clients were day workers.
Today, the majority is non-hispanic and living in areas like
Anthem, Tramonto, New River, and Cave Creek, and even Carefree.
2. About 1/3 of our clients are from the Anthem/Tramonto/New
River area.
These are stories about who the Foothills Food Bank & Resource
Center has helped!
a. Woman in Carefree, divorced, two children, had surgery
and was unable to work for several months, medical bills piled
up, she had to come to us.
b. A stay at home mom in Anthem, her husband walks out
leaving her with 3 young children and a heavy rent. She had to
find work, she found us through St. Vincent De Paul of Anthem.
c. Senior Woman who was cheated out of the ownership
of her home. On disability, widowed, with a very small income.
We help with food, financial assistance and tried to locate
resources that could help her.
The stories can go on and on. Some are a real need and some are
those that do not want to help themselves and continually look
to others for help. Those we try to cut off in a nice way, but
give them other resources to follow up on. Because we give
financial assistance, and because the need seems to be growing
we are very short of funds. The funds that we have been
receiving are used to purchase food.
Donations can be sent directly to the food bank. Please send them
to: Foothills Food Bank, PO Box 715, Carefree, AZ
85377. Food can be dropped off at our facility located at:
Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center, 7005 Cave Creek
Road, Cave Creek, AZ 85331. This is located just West of
Tom Darlington Road, between Bella Vista and Cave Creek Roads,
and just East of Harold's Restaurant.
Theatergoers can also bring food donations to Pioneer
Pepper and the Sunset Pioneers Wild West dinner show at the
Opera House North of the Carefree Resort through Sept 1st.

A Corner
of the Tramanto Center
By LeeAnn Sharpe
Tramanto Shopping Center at I-17 and Carefree
Highway has become a vital link between the Valley and points
north. It’s a convenient place to stop for gas, coffee or food
before heading north or south, in or out of the Valley of the
Sun. But explore and you will find it’s more than just a quick
stop point. There are a number of great businesses with
shopping, medical and recreation opportunities. Located west of
Albertsons you will find Desert Hills Family Dentistry along
with several other shops. At the far west end of the complex, in
a separate building set back from the main shopping structure,
you will notice “It’s A Grind”, “Desert Hills Chiropractic”,
“Dream Decor”, “I Seventeen” and “Isabella’s Beads”
“It’s A Grind” is a delightful coffee shop at the far west
end of the plaza. It has a large patio area with umbrella tables
and morning shade. Or there’s also seating inside as well. Pat
and his crew will greet you with warm smiles and quick service.
A news rack offers morning papers and community news. They have
Iced and Blended Coffee and Tea Specialties with their special
cold brewed coffee blended with delicious real Ghirardelli White
or Dark Chocolate, flavors and fruit.
The “TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOCHA” has milk chocolate,
real Ghirardelli White Chocolate, and rich dark chocolate
blended in perfect harmony for the true chocolate lover. The
“ROAD WARRIOR” includes their famous blended mocha with real
chocolate covered espresso beans. And the ever popular “ICED,
BLENDED CARAMEL MOCHA” is their famous blended mocha with creamy
Ghirardelli Caramel drizzled in. For a lift, how about a “MINT
CHIP MOCHA” a blended mocha, enhanced with frosty cool mint. For
a refreshing change on a hot day how about a “WILD BERRY WITH
GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE” or a “MANGO WITH GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE”. Those
antioxidants in green tea will give your health a boost!
All of the traditional coffee shop offerings like
CAPPUCCINO, CAFE LATTE, and ESPRESSO can all be had hot, or cold
using their special cold brewing method. ICED TEA, ITALIAN
SODAS, SOFT DRINKS, and BOTTLED WATER are also on hand. This
just touches the surface of their offerings, which also include
pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Occasionally they will also
feature entertainment on the patio in the evenings.
“Isabella’s Beads” owned by Benny and Elizabeth Varela is a
great place for all of your beading needs. Every kind of bead
and fixtures to build your beading
project is available. Swarovski® Crystals, glass beads in a
vibrant kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, finishes and types of
glass beads, including Czech glass beads, Millefiori, lampwork
beads and more are on hand. Natural Beads, rustic to regal,
fabulous to funky beads made from natural, organic materials run
the entire gamut. Beading supplies include a huge collection of
beading components for every need. They also carry rhinestones
and the special glue to adorn your bra straps, t-shirts or
sandals.
Classes to learn to build projects are held
regularly and very economically. What a great way to enjoy time
with friends. Book a class together and let your creative energy
and laughter flow! Classes include bracelets, necklaces, key
rings and more. They can teach you a basic technique or more
advanced projects. Give them a call at 623-582-0690.
“Desert Hills Family Dentistry” is owned by
Dr. Antczak. The Dr. has been in private practice for more than
seven years and treats both children and adults. The services
offered by Dr. Antczak include general and
cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy, oral surgery, whitening,
gum treatment, dentures, “invisible” braces, and dental
implants. Dr. Antczak works with the latest advancements in
dental technology and prides himself in comprehensive treatment,
often eliminating the need for a specialist. If you would like
more information call 623-580-1700.

Easy Street Lighting
The Town of Carefree has recently installed two new outdoor
lights within the Town core to test the practicality of
installing new street lights around Easy Street. The Town very
much wants to address concerns of unsafe and dark sidewalks and
street ways after dark.
We
are looking for feedback from you as to whether or not you like
the light post design, quality of light, adequacy of light, and
the overall impact on our night skies. The goal is to provide a
safe and navigable shopping and strolling area during the
evening hours without negatively impacting our night skies with
light pollution.
We
would love to hear from you. The lights are installed between
the Amphitheater and the Blue Sky Restaurant on Easy Street.
Take a look and let us know what you think. We will
enthusiastically forward your comments to the Town. As always,
THANKS for your continued support! Ian

Important Mexico and Modern Printmaking
Nothing was more fashionable in 1930s New York than to
own the latest etching, woodblock print or lithograph to
arrive from Mexico City by Diego Rivera. His one-man
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1933 was a
command performance demonstrating what it meant to be on
the edge of North America’s artistic avant garde. He
was the greatest among a large group of artists who
wholeheartedly threw themselves into the production of
murals and prints – such as Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro
Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Frida Kahlo, and more –
mythologizing Mexico’s past, critiquing its present, and
pointing to its future. Mexico and Modern Printmaking: A
Revolution in the Graphic Arts, 1920-1950, on view in
Phoenix Art Museum’s Steele Gallery
July 1, 2007 – September 16, 2007, is the
first comprehensive exhibition in years to present the
work of these artists and their American and European
colleagues working in Mexico at the time. Story

Loper and the world of river running in which he lived
and died. By the time Loper died at his oars in a Grand
Canyon rapid at eighty, he had covered more river, run
more boats, and known more rivermen than anyone. 7pm.

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."
