The latest proposed fund sweep is $2.7 million in fiscal year 2010. If the monies are taken, AESF may cease to exist given that the agency’s total operating budget is $10-$12 million per year.

Scott MacIntyre: Another Incredible Talent Out of Arizona Makes the Top 36 Of American Idol

 If you are not a fan of American Idol you might give it another look. When they go through the run of bad contestants in the early shows I too tune out. But now they have narrowed the field to some unbelievable talent. And one Scottsdale Arizona contestant has made the Top 36 cut. What a beautiful story this talented young man has to tell. Even if he doesn’t make it to the end of Idol, I thank them for bringing him to the attention of the world. He will be a shining star no matter what else Idol brings. 

 Visually impaired since birth, Scott MacIntyre began playing piano by ear at age 3. According to his website ( www.scottmacintyre.com ) he was classically trained, and has been profiled on CNN, Sky News Europe, USA Today, and other media as pianist, vocalist, and songwriter. He has independently released 6 full-length CD's and has written in genres spanning pop, rock, punk, jazz, and classical.

 The list of awards and accomplishments for someone so young seems surreal. They include winner of the VSA Arts 2008 Young Soloists Award; First Place in the Herberger Theater Center Young Artist Competition; First Place in the Fiesta Chorus of Sweet Adeline Talent Search; First Place in the Butterfield Young Artist Concerto Competition; Grand Prize Winner Phoenix Symphony Guild, First Place Senior Piano Concerto competition; and second place in the national finals of the Canadian Music Competitions. He has performed as guest soloist with symphony orchestras, as well as playing the Kennedy Center, Orpheum Theater, Sundome, Phoenix Symphony Hall, and Gammage Auditorium.

 MacIntyre has performed in North America and including the "Hour of Power" broadcast taped in front of a live audience of 4,000 in California. He frequently donates performances for conventions, churches, charities, and stadium athletic events (US Airways Center / Phoenix Suns, Chase Field / Diamondbacks), and thoroughly enjoys bringing his music to all audiences.

 American Idol seems to be a platform to springboard his already promising career to the next level. With a clear, clean, pleasant voice MacIntyre has as good a chance as anyone in the line up. So Arizona get ready to cheer on yet another great talent!

Astronomical Event 4,000 Years Ago Depicted on Desert Floor
By LeeAnn Sharpe

Pete Norris is a man on a mission. His mission is to document and save ancient geoglyphs in the desert along Carefree Highway in Desert Hills AZ that are in

the path of future development. Geoglyphs are drawings made by ancient peoples on the ground, in this case using various size and types of rocks to form a pattern and tell a story.

Norris is an expert at crytanalysis, or the art of breaking codes. He believes that the geoglyphs he found in north Phoenix depict a known astronomical event some 4,000 years ago. The pattern and number of rocks clearly describe, to the trained eye, where the event happened and for how long. It tells of a meteor event, the number of meteor showers and the direction they crossed the ancient skies. The event is known to  astronomers and has been recorded elsewhere in history on pottery and wall art and is documented to have occurred in 3,200B.C. “The sequences and the counts line up with this meteor event,” he said.

The only question is whether these geoglyphs are as ancient as the event itself or a retelling of the story by more recent inhabitants of the area. Other archaeologists claim it’s unlikely the formation is 4,000 years old. More likely it is consistent with other sites historically documented in the area about a 1,000 years ago. Norris admits it is unlikely

to be as ancient as when the event occurred.

“This is a known corridor for petroglyphs, art drawn on rock faces, by tribes about a

thousand years ago. They came through these mountain passes and left their art as

they passed through, Norris says. “This may have been a spiritual place where the

telling of ancient stories were handed down in the form of this geoglyph.”

When the land was recently sold it went through an archeological survey, the survey

team overlooked the site. Norris said he is shocked that it was missed. The area is slated for development with a road going right through the site. Norris has brought the site to the attention of the state and developers in hopes of preserving the site.

Still as a site 1,000 years old it is amazing it has survived relatively untouched for so

long, so near areas of development. Few people in urban areas get to experience

actual original geoglyphs. The rocks, mainly volcanic, with some quartz, are laid out in a pattern that Norris claims is a “Genesis II pictorial script,” a form of writing that predates even hieroglyphics. “The rocks have not been moved in recent times, except maybe one.” Norris maintains each stone’s placement, shape and size is significant.

Geoglyphs are drawings made on the ground historically created by either trenching the earth, revealing lighter colored earth below the surface, or by the placement of stones in specific patterns.

This geoglyph is small, only about 10 square yards. Perhaps the most famous geoglyphs in the southwest region are the Blythe Intaglios near the Colorado River best viewed from the air and are hundreds of yards long.

Watching the alignment of the sun each day over the course of a year, Norris has been able to verify the timeline depicted is consistent with other sites around the world. They all line up to these same dates which coincide with the start of this historic meteor event.  

Norris says he is continuing to attempt to have the site dated and verified. His avocation lies in the interpretation of such sites, not the archaeology. “We really need to get some experts out here to see these geoglyphs before they are destroyed by construction.” Pete Norris can be contacted at 602-334-7209.

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! 
You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well......... 

                          

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! 
 
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! 

Maricopa  County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. 

The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows. 

The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78. 

The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals. 

I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand. 

He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison. 

Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote. 
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border. He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff. 

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO 

HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF 

AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER 
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY: 

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona ) who created the ' Tent City Jail': 
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. 

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but 'G' movies. 

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects. 

Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get 
Sued For Discrimination. 

He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel. 

When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working 
ON My Chain Gangs. 

He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value. 

When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports: 
About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued 
Pink Boxer Shorts. 

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before. 

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS. 

'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.' 

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, 
But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,
 So Shut Your Mouths!' 

Way To Go, Sheriff! 

Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

2009 Plein Air Artist "Paint Outs" at Arizona State Parks
(Phoenix, Arizona - January 27, 2009) - Arizona State Parks and Arizona Plein Air Painters will host "Plein Air" Artist events throughout 2009 at State Parks around the state (see specific dates and times below).
Plein Air "paint outs" are an open invitation to all artists, amateur and professional, to paint and capture scenes inside Arizona State Parks. These live outdoor painting competitions take place in four-hour blocks. After the painting period, the artists meet to display the finished piece/pieces and submit them for judging by fellow artists. Artists should bring their easels, brushes, drop cloth or canvas, etc. They may also bring a mat or frame for protection and enhancement of their painting.

The top three paintings from each competition are entered in an annual gallery show. You can view an online gallery at azstateparks.com. Following the 2009 series, the top three winners of each competition will be shown at a public exhibit in February 2010.

The "paint outs" began as part of the State Parks 50th anniversary celebrations, 2006-2007. Arizona State Parks and the Tucson Plein Air Painters Society partnered to host a series of 10 Plein Air "paint outs" at many Arizona State Parks. An opening reception followed by a gallery show of the top 30 paintings from the 10 "paint outs" was held at Boyce Thompson Arboretum from January 5th to the 27th, 2008. This program aims to be a successful collaboration between creative art societies and Arizona State Parks.

Plein Air is a French term that means in the open air. At Plein Air events landscape artists gather at a designated time to have their blank canvas stamped and then head out with packed easels, paints and brushes and trek into nature looking for inspiration in the wide open spaces with good light and fresh air to paint everyday scenery.

3rd Annual “Dog Days of August” Contest to Benefit Animal Charities Statewide Cave Creek’s newly-formed non-profit is a sponsor of this month-long event.

 100 percent of entry fees will be donated to each applicant’s charity of choice!

 
In its third year, Linda Budge’s “Dog Days of August” charity contest is once again raising much needed funds for animal charities, but this time the newly-formed non-profit is reaching out to residents statewide and the contest includes more categories and prizes.

 Acclaimed animal artist and “Master of Expression” Linda Budge recently received 501(c)(3) status for her “Dog Days of August” charity contest which she began in August 2006. Based in Cave Creek, Dog Days of August, Inc. offers a chance to win a Grand Prize professional oil painting of your pet valued at over $2,700, painted by Budge. This year’s event also includes more chances to win a variety of prizes and gift certificates.

 The month-long contest is open to Arizona residents of all ages from August 1st through August 31st. Applicants need to submit a color photograph of their dog along with a 500 to 700-word essay describing a story relating to their dog in one of five categories: My Hero; A Laughable Moment; How We Met; Something to Bark About; and In the Dog House.

 Applicants will make the $20 entry fee payable to their favorite Arizona animal charity. Checks will be delivered to the animal charities after the contest. Any cash entries will be donated to the Arizona Humane Society.

 The Grand Prize winner will receive a Linda Budge 16” x 20” original oil, custom-framed painting of his or her dog valued at over $2,700. In addition, the winner will receive a packet of 50 greeting cards featuring the painted image of his or her dog. Each of the five categories will also have three top winners. Prizes will include gift certificates and other items.

 “In the Phoenix metro-area alone, there are more than 100 animal charities that are in desperate need of financial assistance. Many foster groups consist of volunteers who use their own personal funds to care for abandoned, wounded, and older dogs,” Linda Budge said. “Share your story and help your favorite animal charity in the process.”

 As a professional animal artist with more than 30 years experience, Budge spent several years working as a dog handler where she learned how important confirmation and expression were in competitions. Since those days, she has painted a number of dog images for animal charities, including Ducks Unlimited and The Guide Dog Foundation. Budge was also profiled in the April 2008 issue of Southwest Art Magazine, and her work has been published in several national publications.

 The story, entry form, photo and $20 entry fee made out to the applicant’s animal charity of choice should be mailed to: “Dog Days of August” Charity Contest; c/o Linda Budge Studio; P.O. Box 4050, Cave Creek, AZ 85327.

 Entry forms can be downloaded at www.DogDaysofAugust.org. Photos and essays will not be returned. Applicants under age 18 must have a parent or a guardian sign the entry form and release.

The winning entrant will be notified by September 15. For information, call (480) 595-9985 or visit www.DogDaysofAugust.org .

Senate Adopts Kyl-Thune Measure Authorizes Native American Public Safety, Water Projects
The U.S. Senate today adopted a measure authored by U.S. Senators Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and John Thune (R-S.D.) that authorizes $2 billion to support Native American public safety and water projects.  The measure was adopted as an amendment to a larger foreign aid bill, known as the PEPFAR reauthorization bill.  
"Native Americans are facing a public safety and health crisis because of a lack of federal funding.  Congress must be mindful of its obligations to American citizens before it funds multi-billion dollar programs abroad.  Our amendment starts to address the needs in Indian Country by redirecting $2 billion of the $50 billion PEPFAR reauthorization, to Native American public safety and water projects.  At $48 billion, PEPFAR is still authorized at over three times the current amount, and $18 billion over the President¹s request."

A 2004 report by the Department of the Interior Inspector General stated that "some [Indian detention] facilities we visited were egregiously unsafe, unsanitary, and a hazard to both inmates and staff alike. BIA's detention program is riddled with problems . . . and is a national disgrace."

A 2008 Interior Department-contracted report, known as the "Shubnum Report," confirms that tribal jails are still grossly insufficient, stating that: "[o]nly half of the offenders are being incarcerated who should be incarcerated, the remaining are released through a variety of informal practices due to severe overcrowding in existing detention facilities." 

The Shubnum Report recommends that the United States construct or rehabilitate 263 detention facilities throughout Indian Country at an estimated cost of $8.4 billion over the next ten years. Significant funding is also needed for the operation and maintenance of these facilities as well as tribal law enforcement and tribal judicial systems.  

Under the Kyl-Thune amendment, up to $1 billion will go to fund law enforcement and health projects, of which 18.5 percent will be used for detention facility construction, rehabilitation, and replacement; 15.5 percent will go the Bureau of Indian Affair's Public Safety and Justice Account, which funds tribal police and courts; 1.5 percent will be used for investigations and prosecutions of crimes in Indian country; 1.5 percent will be used by the Justice Department¹s Office of Justice Program for Indian and Alaska Native Programs; and .5 percent will be used for cross deputization or other cooperative agreements between state or local governments and Indian tribes.   

Indian health projects, such as the construction of Indian Health facilities and safe drinking water and sanitation facilities serving members of Indian tribes and Alaska Natives, will receive 12.5 percent of the total funding authorized.  

The measure also provides up to $1 billion for Indian water supply projects approved by Congress.   This funding could be very helpful in implementing Indian water settlements in Arizona.

The PEPFAR legislation is expected to be approved by the Senate this week.  Though Kyl was able to reduce the authorization of PEPFAR, he remains concerned about the total amount ­ now $48 billion ­ and some of the policy changes from current law, which he supported in the past.

7 Tips for a Safe, Healthy Cookout
1. Keep It Clean. Some of the quickest ways to transmit food borne bacteria are by failing to wash your hands often, working in a contaminated prep area, or using utensils, platters, and cutting boards for a variety of purposes. After you handle raw meat or go to the bathroom, remember to wash your hands before continuing to cook. Keep your prep area clean by frequently wiping it down with warm water and a dash of bleach. Assign each utensil to a specific dish, and if you’re going to reuse a platter or cutting board, wash it off beforehand.  

2. Skin ’em. By removing the skin from chicken, you’ll eliminate about two-thirds of its fat content. You can ensure the chicken will still be juicy and delicious by cutting a handful of small slits in the meat before marinating it for at least six to eight hours. And when grilling the meat, resist the urge to continually press down on it, which can dry it out.

3. Replace Chips With Crudité. Provide a plate of fresh, raw vegetables as an enticing alternative to fatty chips. Pair it with guacamole, hummus, or salsa, and you may even score some crudité converts, who will be saving themselves hundreds of additional calories by avoiding the chips and dip.

4. Give Your Fruits and Veggies a Bath. To remove any microorganisms or pesticides that might be clinging to fruits and vegetables, thoroughly wash them off before serving. Even if you plan to peel them, you should still give them a good scrub because a microbe lurking on the skin of just one vegetable can contaminate the peeler and affect other vegetables.  

5. Mind the Temperature. A food thermometer can be a barbecuer’s best friend. By checking the internal temperature of meat before you plate it—the United States Department of Agriculture recommends a temperature of 145° F for steaks and fish, 160° F for pork and ground beef, and 165° F for chicken—you can ensure that your food is safe to eat (and free of E. coli bacteria).

6. Add Some Garlic. This member of the onion family is not only a delicious addition to marinades and a variety of dishes and condiments; it may also help in the fight against cancer. Additionally, research has shown that garlic contains antibacterial properties and can reduce cholesterol levels.

7. Set Out a Few Citronella Candles. Mosquitoes can breed in as little as one centimeter of water, so they can thrive just about anywhere, waiting to turn your cookout into a feast of their own. Mosquitoes can be carriers of diseases such as West Nile virus, so it’s especially important to keep them at bay. To do this, set out a few citronella candles in your general area.

Geoglyphs in Desert Hills

 By LeeAnn Sharpe

Pete Norris is a man on a mission. His mission is to document and save ancient geoglyphs in the desert along Carefree Highway that are in the path of future development.

 Geoglyphs are drawings made by ancient peoples on the ground, in this case using various size and types of rocks to form a pattern and tell a story.   

 Norris is an expert at crytanalysis, or the art of breaking codes. He believes that the geoglyphs he found in north Phoenix depict a known astronomical event some 4,000 years ago. The pattern and number of rocks clearly describe, to the trained eye, where the event happened and for how long. It tells of a meteor event, the number of meteor showers and the direction they crossed the ancient skies. The event is known to astronomers and has been recorded elsewhere in history on pottery and wall art and is documented to have occurred in 3,200B.C. "The sequences and the counts line up with this meteor event," he said.

 The only question is whether these geoglyphs are as ancient as the event itself or a retelling of the story by more recent inhabitants of the area.

 Other archaeologists claim it’s unlikely the formation is 4,000 years old. More likely it is consistent with other sites historically documented in the area about a 1,000 years ago. Norris admits it is unlikely to be as ancient as when the event occurred.

 “This is a known corridor for petroglyphs, art drawn on rock faces, by tribes about a thousand years ago. They came through these mountain passes and left their art as they passed through, Norris says.  “This may have been a spiritual place where the telling of ancient stories were handed down in the form of this geoglyph.”

 When the land was recently sold it went through an archeological survey, the survey team overlooked the site. Norris said he is shocked that it was missed. The area is slated for development with a road going right through the site. Norris has brought the site to the attention of the state and developers in hopes of preserving the site.

 Still as a site 1,000 years old it is amazing it has survived relatively untouched for so long, so near areas of development. Few people in urban areas get to experience actual original geoglyphs. The rocks, mainly volcanic, with some quartz, are laid out in a pattern that Norris claims is a "Genesis II pictorial script," a form of writing that predates even hieroglyphics. “The rocks have not been moved in recent times, except maybe one.” Norris maintains each stone's placement, shape and size is significant.

 Geoglyphs are drawings made on the ground historically created by either trenching the earth, revealing lighter colored earth below the surface, or by the placement of stones in specific patterns. This geoglyph is small, only about 10 square yards. Perhaps the most famous geoglyphs in the southwest region are the Blythe Intaglios near the Colorado River best viewed from the air and are hundreds of yards long. 

 Norris says he is continuing to attempt to have the site dated and verified. His avocation lies in the interpretation of such sites, not the archaeology. “We really need to get some experts out here to see these geoglyphs before they are destroyed by construction.” Pete Norris can be contacted at 602-334-7209.

 

Letter from the President at MS Corner
Hello to one and all, for this letter is not only for the readers of MS Corner, but also for our entire group.

 As I was reading through a monthly publication of some sort, I came upon some weight loss ideas for those of us who have put on too much weight over the summer, or simply because we’re just too weak to say no to eating unhealthy foods.

 The article read 7 Secrets to Weight Loss, and starts off saying Diet and Exercise are the most effective ways to achieve weight loss, although there are a few more things you can do to help you reach your goal faster.

  •  1: Couch potatoes ain’t cool. Get up and move once in a while. We don’t always have to take the easy way out. Get your heart pumping so you can burn some calories.

  •  2: Water, Water, Water. It’s not just for washing your cars. Diet soda is not really a diet. Water will help you stay hydrated; SODA will slow your metabolism and prevent you from losing weight as quickly.

  •  3: Carbohydrates are not the enemy. But, reach for complex carbs such as black beans, brown rice and yams. Avoid WHITE RICE AND FOODS WITH WHITE FLOUR, which can lead to weight gain.

  • 4: Don’t eat right before going to bed. When this happens your metabolism slows. Eating late will take your body longer to digest food and inhibit weight loss.

  •  5: Cure you cravings with FAT rather than sweets (Fat is not always your enemy). Your body thinks it’s craving sweets, but it actually is craving fat. It takes more sugary snacks to make you feel full, and if you eat healthy fats you will feel fuller quicker.

  •  6: Be aware of sugar in fruit when you are trying to diet. CITRUS FRUITS (i.e. Oranges, Grapefruits, Tangerines) are good fruit because they have less sugar, which means fewer calories. Of course eat it in moderation.

  •  7: Be careful what you put on your healthy salads as well. Drowning salads in a high fat, high sugar dressing won’t help you lose the weight. Use non-fat, low-fat dressing or even better, olive oil and/or vinegar are much better alternatives. 

These are some ideas to assist people in losing some weight, or just keeping your weight at a sensible level. Be advised I’m no fitness director, or nutritionists but there are places like Y.M.C.A and Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center to assist you in these areas.

 This is all for now. Happy eating. Stay Cool, Stay Free, and God Bless Benjamin Garcia President, Arizona PVA

I served in the Army from May 1981 to July 1983, as a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist. 

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in May of 1991, after several doctor’s appointments and tests. I had numbness from my chest to my feet. This one doctor said I needed something more than what she could treat; she referred me to a neurologist. The Neurologist immediately ordered an MRI, which showed various lesions on my brain. 

 I was still walking at that time and worked as a Psychiatric Technician at the Arizona State Hospital. As my health began to decline, I began using a cane for stability. In 1994 I went to work at ComCare as a Case Manager. My health continued to deteriorate, and soon I began using a wheelchair for going longer distances. This happened around 1995, by 1998 per doctor’s orders, I had to stop working.

 My first encounter with the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) was at a wheelchair basketball game in Phoenix, Arizona. As I was leaving, I was approached by the Vice-President of the PVA, who asked me if I had ever played basketball. He left me his card, which then led me to meet with the PVA Administration team, and after interviewing with the VSO (Volunteer Service Officer), I was informed of the various benefits that I may be eligible for.

 Since then I was found to be 100% disabled making me 100% service connected which has entitled me to awesome benefits. I have continued to grow as a PVA member, going from being a PVA board member, to being the vice president, to now being the president. 

 I’m very grateful for all the people I’ve met during my tenure with the PVA, but above all I thank my God for putting me in the right place at the right time.

 I thank the people at Caring Times and Griswold Special Care for allowing me to tell my story so that other people may learn that there is an organization, Paralyzed Veterans of America, that can, and will fight for their benefits and well being.

 Sincerely yours,Benjamin Garcia, President Arizona Chapter PVA

 

SHARLOT HALL MUSEUM  
presents
Joe Mayer and the Town that Built Him

                                                                A first for the Blue Rose Theater!  Artistic Director Jody Drake presents an original folk opera, Joe Mayer and the Town that Built Him.  This musical history of Mayer, Arizona, and its founder, Joe Mayer, is a pet project of Drake’s, for which she has been composing lyrics off and on for ten years.  “It’s a colorful story, and I’m thrilled it’s finally being produced,” she says. Deb Gessner and Don Charles, better known as popular folk musicians D-Squared, have written the music for Drake’s lyrics, and will perform the score at each performance.

                 Cast members, who auditioned for Blue Rose Theater’s annual summer Tenderfoot Theater group, are between the ages of ten and nineteen. “Tenderfoot,” as Drake refers to it, “is an opportunity to work with young people in an intense performance setting.  We’ve been doing it for ten years now, and it’s my favorite part of our theater program.”

                 Mayer grew from the Big Bug stage coach station, thanks to Joe Mayer and his wife, Sadie.  Drake, Gessner and Charles all have close ties to the town.           

  • Performances:   

  • Wednesday July 16  7:30pm

  • Thursday  July 17     6:30pm

AZ Cardinals BTrain Speaks at Wallace Luncheon
Sandy Gibbons gets a good chuckle as Wallace cracks jokes and Bertrand Berry is amused. Berry's cause was serious stuff as he promotes his charity.

Bertrand Berry spoke to about 20 Valley business professionals at the weekly Bill "Wallace" Thompson Luncheon. Sandy Gibbons introduced Berry as world reknowned croquet player... ooops.. defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals. After talking about how his wife had recovered from childhood leukemia, he went on to say how his life was most influenced by his time at Notre Dame. Even more than the Super Bowl Game. Actually the NFC Championship win was his most exciting game. The fellas asked plenty of questions and Berry graciously took time for pictures and autographs. Mostly he wanted to tell everyone about his charity event this week.

On Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st, Arizona Cardinals Defensive End Bertrand Berry and the Bertrand Berry Foundation will host the 4th Annual Bertrand Berry Celebrity Weekend, presented by the Miracle Mile Shops and benefiting Childhelp, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Mable Dean Scholarship Fund. Philanthropists, Cardinals fans and Valley VIPs alike are invited to wine, dine and mingle with the stars at this celebrity-studded weekend, featuring the following activities:

“Tropical Illusion” Gala, Friday, March 20:
This island-themed gala taking place at the Hotel Valley Ho will begin with a hosted cocktail reception, followed by a silent and live auction and musical entertainment. Guests can dance and dine with the stars, as they peruse auction items and bid the night away. Tickets are $375 per person and can be purchased by calling (602) 685-1103. (OPEN TO PUBLIC)

Celebrity Football Camp, Saturday, March 21:
The Celebrity Football Camp will be taking place on Saturday morning at the Arizona Cardinals Training Facility in Tempe. Over 120 children from the local chapters of Big Brothers Big Sisters will be making passes and punting like the pros.

B-Train’s Bash, Saturday, March 21:
Bringing an end to the weekend’s festivities is a star-studded night on the town at Devil’s Martini in Old Town Scottsdale. With celebrity sightings, libations and a night of dancing involved, this will be an event the Phoenix paparazzi and Valley residents will not want to miss. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door that evening and are $10 per person from 8 – 10 p.m. and $10 for guys/no cover for ladies after 10 p.m. (OPEN TO PUBLIC)

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.

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."
