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 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.

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. 2009 Dates and Locations: · February 21, 2009 at Lost Dutchman State Park, Noon - 4 pm · March 21, 2009 at Picacho Peak State Park, 8 am - Noon · April 18, 2009 at Lake Havasu State Park, 8 am - Noon · May 23, 2009 at Homolovi Ruins State Park, Noon - 4 pm · June 6, 2009 at Jerome State Historic Park, 8 am - Noon · July 18, 2009 at Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area, 8 am - Noon · August 8, 2009 at Roper Lake State Park, 8 am - Noon · September 19, 2009 at Slide Rock State Park (Apple Festival), 8 am - Noon; Additional Children's Paint Out Activity · October 3, 2009 at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park, 8 am - Noon · November 29, 2009 at Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park (Fall Festival), 8 am - Noon; Additional Children's Paint Out Activity For more information about the "paint outs" call (602) 542-4174, visit azstateparks.com or arizonapleinairpainters.com.

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.

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. |

Bereavement Program to Provide 12-week Grief Groups

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 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.
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
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.

AZ Cardinals BTrain
Speaks at Wallace Luncheon 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

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."
