Anthem Civic building set for renovation

MARC bUCKhOUTMANAGING EDITOR

A week of mourning for the entire state of Arizona following the June 30 death of 19 Prescott firefighters in Yarnell, saw North Valley resident have the opportunity to pay their final respects on Sunday along Carefree Highway.

At approximately 12:45 p.m. the motorcade of 19 white hearses, which left from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s office, led by police personel and including Payson Fire Department hot shot vehicles exited I-17 and headed west on Carefree Highway. There they where greeted by hundreds of residents, waving United States flags, all looking to honor the men who gave their lives fighting a wildfire that as of press time had burned 8,300 acres.

“I felt like I had to pay my respects,” Anthem resident Connie Noble said. “I have a neighbor who is a retired firefighter and not surprisingly he is helping me out and bringing me some water while we wait. The whole situation just makes you want to cry. When you hear the stories of who the men were you feel like you knew them. It’s such a tragedy.”

The 19 members of the hotshot squad perished in the worst wildfire tragedy in Arizona history and the worst

in the nation since 1933. They eventually reached the Yavapai County Fairgrounds on the way to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Prescott Valley around 4:40 p.m. Sunday.

Bob and Julie Nienabes made the trip from Cave Creek to be a part of the tribute.

“It’s just so awesomely

sad,” Julie said.Bob offered his respect for

the men’s dedication. The 19 ranged in age from 21 – 43 with 14 of the 19 in their 20s.

“They were just trying to do their job,” he said. “You think of how young they were and it’s hard to even imagine what their families are going through.”

With parked vehicles lining both sides of Carefree Highway from as far east as the bridge over I-17 to as far as the eye could see heading west some spectators waited more than two hours.

That group included Tramonto couple Ed and Tara Felix, who were sporting

Glendale Fire Fighter shirts.“We have a good friend on

the Glendale Fire Department,” he said. “It’s rough for all of them. Even if they didn’t know the guys it’s such a fraternity. They’re brothers who take care

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusHundreds of North Valley residents turned out along Carefree Highway Sunday to pay their respects to the Yarnell 19, members of the Prescott Fire Department, who died on June 30 fighting a wildfire.

The discussions, focus groups and planning meetings are finally complete. With sledgehammers and hard hats ready Anthem Community Executive Officer Jenna Kollings was the master of ceremonies during a groundbreaking event July 3 in front of 3701 W. Anthem Way.

Kollings pointed out that sledgehammers rather than shovels were on hand for the ceremony as Brignall Construction now only awaits final approval from Maricopa Marc Buckhout/The Foothills Focus

Instead of shovels, members of the Anthem staff, community council, as well as the construction and design team held sledgehammers as remodeling on 3701 W. Anthem Way was set to get under way.

Cactus Foothills earns 1st state win


It took a near no hitter and a four-base error, but Cactus Foothills earned its first state win in the 2013 Little League Majors Girls Softball tournament on Monday at Anthem Community Park.

After losing its opening game to Thornydale, 5-1 on Saturday, Vanessa Gutierrez pitched her Cave Creek squad to a 4-2 win Monday, by holding Blue Ridge without a hit until a ringing two- out single up the middle by Autumn Cody in the last of the sixth inning.

“She was definitely throwing harder today than normal,” Cactus Foothills coach Melanie Yerandopoulos said of Guiterrez. “The difference today was we played really well defensively.”

Other than a pair of errors that allowed Blue Ridge to tie the game 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning, the team from Cave Creek was solid in support of Gutierrez.

After giving up the lead Cactus Foothills responded offensively in the top of the fifth inning. With their leadoff hitter on first, following a throwing error, Mikayla Alvarez came to the plate and laid down a bunt. With the Cactus Foothills second baseman running hard, pitcher Skylar Westbrook picked up the ball and threw high to first. The laser throw not only sailed over the first baseman, but rolled all the way into the right field corner. By the time the Blue Ridge right fielder was able to retrieve the ball, Alvarez had raced all the way

around the bases to score without a play.Given a two-run lead again, Gutierrez

had little trouble in the bottom of the fifth. In the bottom of the sixth the Cactus Foothills hurler got the first two outs before Cody kept her team alive and broke up the no hitter. Marlee London followed, hitting a hot shot that appeared destined for right field. Instead of getting the tying run on base Blue Ridge watched as the ball hit Cody, who was running toward second, to end the game.

On Tuesday Cactus Foothills was scheduled to take on Mountain View in the third of their four pool games (results unavailable at press time). At 5:30 p.m., Thursday they face Holiday Park to conclude pool play.

In order to advance to the quarterfinals Cactus Foothills needs to finish among the top four spots in Pool A, which includes a total of six teams. Along with Blue Ridge, Pool A also includes Thornydale, Mountain View, Queen Creek and Holiday Park.

The top four teams that advance from Pool A will vie for the state title against the top four from Pool B, which includes Blythe, Bagdad, Sunnyside as well as the champions from District 4 and District 11.

The quarterfinals open Friday, with 5:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. games. The semifinals are set for 7 p.m., Saturday. The tournament will crown the state champion at 7 p.m., Monday. All of the games will take place at Anthem Community Park. ( 41703 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway)

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusCaitlyn Walker slid home to make the score 2-0 for Cactus Foothills Little League. The team from Cave Creek went on to win 4-2 on Monday.

Boulder Creek juniors represent Arizona on national stageMARC bUCKhOUT

MANAGING EDITORAfter helping the Boulder

Creek High School girls soccer team to its best season in school history Natalie Stephens and Brooke Denesik are continuing to produce on the pitch this summer.

Playing for the Under 16 Sereno club team, the duo will represent Anthem in the National Championships starting today in a tournament that runs through Monday in Richmond, VA.

In earning the trip to nationals, the Sereno squad went undefeated during a tournament which took place June 20 – 24 in Aurora, Colorado.

The squad earned wins over Charlotte Soccer Academy from North Carolina (2-0), Carmel United SC from Indiana (3-0) and the Michigan Hawks (1-0). Sereno was the only squad in the 32 team event which didn’t allow a goal, thanks in part to the defensive work of Denesik.

Offensively, Stephens, who was one of Boulder Creek’s primary offensive weapons

during the school year, once again proved a prolific scorer as she netted three of the team’s six goals during the tournament.

The Sereno squad will be the lone Arizona representative in

the Elite Clubs National League championship tournament, facing off with four California teams, two Texas teams as well as a New Jersey squad in the 8-team field.

For information on the tournament go to eliteclubsnationalleague.com

Stephens, who has already committed to Arizona State University and

Denesik will return to the Jaguars squad this winter looking to build on the team’s 18-2-2 season, which included a trip to the Division I state quarterfinals.

- obituary - Victor (Scottie) HoskinVictor Scottie Hoskin died

on June 21, 2013, at the age of 68, in the presence of his wife, Faith and daughter, Cindy, at their home in Black Canyon City.

Victor was born on Jan. 1, 1945 in Long Beach, Ca. He graduated from Magnolia High School in Anaheim.

Hoskin resided in Apache Junction for many years before moving to Black Canyon City. A journeyman sheet metal worker for nearly 40 years, Hoskin worked on many significant projects throughout the Valley.

Trained in Herpetology, he also lectured on the subject in several southwest states over the years. Eventually Hoskin became a master silversmith. He delighted in creating his own designs, mostly in jewelry; incorporating precious stones and gems which he sold in the Valley and Black Canyon City area.

In 1998, he married his long-time girlfriend, Faith. He retired within a few years and they moved to Black Canyon City in 2005 where Victor continued to create and sell his jewelry until illness made it difficult.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father and brother, Steve.

County for what is expected to be a 4-6 month renovation of the 36,000 square foot building, which will serve the community as a multi-use gathering place.

Calling it “Anthem’s living room” Kollings described a place that will serve a number of functions with a game room, space to learn yoga, take arts and crafts classes, host various meetings, as well as be the home to a number of the community’s non-profit organizations and provide law enforcement entities a home base in the community.

“We’re looking to create community one gathering at a time,” Kollings said. “We want our residents to have an intimate experience when they come here. This will be a place

to show up and be engaged.”Maricopa County Sherriff

Lieutenant Kim Rustenburg expressed appreciation for Anthem’s acceptance of MCSO in the community.

“We’d like to express thank you to Anthem for making us feel like such a strong part of this community,” she said. “My colleagues deeply appreciate the support we were shown following the death of Officer Coleman. It’s great for us to have a feeling of having roots here in the community.”

In attempting to build community through a community building Scott Hufford of Brignall Construction said the building will be overhauled in segments.

“This will be a phased

construction project of four to six months,” he said. “We’re going to implement some design ideas that will make this an energy efficient building.”

Diane Jacobs, of Holly Street Studio, the design firm that will be working on the overhaul, added that the community has armed her with plenty of information.

“You’ve been a gracious, thoughtful, tough community to work with and I mean that in a good way,” she said. “With this building we want to complete a story and thanks to the input we received it will be your story.”

Kollings let those in attendance know that while

parts of the building won’t be available to the public during construction that onlineatanthem.com will regularly be updated with photos so the community can follow the progress being made on the building.

“It’s exciting to imagine the possibilities of this space,” she said. “We want this be a place for both formal and informal gatherings, one that isn’t scripted and stuffy, but one where you can be yourself and enjoy your friends.”

Kollings added that a ribbon cutting ceremony is being planned in January to kick-off Anthem’s 15 year anniversary celebration.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusAnthem Community Executive Officer Jenna Kollings spoke during the groundbreaking ceremony, July 3, for the renovation of what will be the civic building at 3701 W. Anthem Way.

of each other. When something like this happens, there are a lot of hard feelings. It’s their job, but they really love what they do.”

Carole Hollenbeck of Cave Creek showed up after church, explaining she felt it was the least that she could do.

“Just trying to express my emotions makes me shake,” she said. “These men, these heroes, were talked about in church today and then we concluded by singing America the Beautiful and it made me cry. I just have such a great respect for what they do for us. I always stop them when I see them to thank them. They don’t get paid enough for what they

do for us. Letting them know how much they are appreciated is the only way we can really pay them. This is so sad, but it is

nice to see how many people are out here. America loves its heroes and these men were definitely that.”

movie review - Dirty Wars

Dirty Wars gives cause for self reflection

MONTE YAZZIESPECIAl fOR

ThE fOOThIllS fOCUS

War never ends it only changes. This is the underlying theme in Richard Rowley’s bleak yet riveting documentary Dirty Wars. Narrator and national security correspondent Jeremy Scahill, who also co-wrote the film, investigates the seen and unseen elements of the war on terror and the effects through numerous regions in the Middle East. The result is an immersive film that feels like a detective story, though the reality is a documentary that doesn’t shy away from shocking and thought provoking questions.

Scahill introduces the film through a lens of noir-like cinematography. The film wastes no time getting into the bulk of the subject matter, sending Scahill to Gardez, Afghanistan to investigate the deaths of two pregnant women and an American trained police commander named Mohammed Daoud. These three people were killed during a night raid that was denied by American officials, though video footage displays military personnel recovering bullets from bodies. Scahill is consumed, dedicating his professional life to investigate other covert night raids conducted by the Joint Special

Operations Command (JSOC). This group operates under the radar and in countries where war hasn’t been declared, a blanket security agency operating on a global front.

The film moves progressively through Scahill’s investigation, which started in February of 2010. Allowing the unraveling secrets to be uncovered at the same measure as Scahill discovered them. This keeps the film unusually thrilling from start to finish. The film doesn’t shy away from gruesome footage (audiences be warned), unflinchingly showcasing footage of young children killed during drone attacks and other combat related violence. It’s devastating to view from the perspective of the families going through it, especially the emotion in the eyes of a young girl telling the story of how she lost her entire family. It’s difficult to execute a film like Dirty Wars, which rests so candidly on the controversial button, without it feeling overwhelmingly conspiratorial. This aspect is accomplished because much of what Scahill is investigating, minus the bigger revelations, hasn’t been denied by any kind of authority. And, as history progressed, the secret JSOC organization being investigated was positioned front and center after Osama bin Laden was killed in the well-known night

raid operation. The faltering point in this

film exists in the examination of Scahill’s personal life, painting him through focused cinematography as a target. Though his story is separately interesting, as the media portrays his findings as speculation and conspiracy, the shift in perspective distracts from the important questions raised. As the film develops, the emphasis changes from situational analysis to self-inquiry, focusing more on the absorbing examination and future effect on the world due to the involvement of the United States. What enemies are being created? Are the so-called victories in the Middle East short-term advantages? The undeniable deep wounds being made ask difficult questions of the viewer in the final minutes.

Dirty Wars is a captivating film that builds, through a detective style analysis, towards demanding questions positioned at the viewer. Though documentaries usually examine both sides of the coin, in the case of Dirty Wars the coin is undoubtedly tarnished on both sides yet the questions poised offer important perspective for the future.

Monte’s Rating4.00 out of 5.00

Dirty Wars is a documentary detailing the war on terror in the Middle East.

The Desert Foothills Photography Contest 2013 winners will be announced during a ceremony at 4:30 p.m., Saturday at Desert Foothills Library. This year’s contest was open to all Foothills’ residents regardless of age.

The original contest was part of the former Cave Creek Film and Arts Festival. When the Festival was discontinued, the Cave Creek Museum picked up the sponsorship of the photography contest. The Desert Foothills Library offered the contest a new home this year. All entries are on display in the library’s main display area. The shadows, shapes and colors of the collection are supported by nature’s own contribution in the form of expansive views from the grand windows of the library’s main space.

The juror for the contest is local photography professional Jerry Sieve of Cave Creek. Sieve has worked for more than 28 years in the field of landscape photography. His images have been published thousands of times worldwide. National Geographic and Arizona Highways count Sieve as one of their foremost contributing nature photographers. To view Sieve’s work go to sieveimages.com.

Desert Foothills Library is located at 38443 N. School House Road in Cave Creek. The reception for the photo contest will go from 4:30 – 6 p.m. Hors d’ oeuvres and wine will be served.

Cave Creek Rodeo supports community

STAff REPORTThe Cave Creek Pro

Rodeo (CCPR) Committee recently announced their 2013 charitable recipients. The group is distributing more than $7,000 back into the community to the following organizations:

• CCPR Director Robbie Hall presenting to Erin Robinson, 4-H Desert Hills Wranglers

• CCPR Arena Director Bill Buckles presenting to Pam DiPietro, Foothills Food Bank

• CCPR President Traci Casale presenting to Col. Sam Young (ret), Veterans Medical Leadership Council through the Wrangler National Patriot program

• Scott Gara presenting to Liz Kaplan, AZ Chapter, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in memory of Lindsay Gara

• CCPR Director Beth

Carnell presenting to Ed Carona, Outdoor Experience for All

• CCPR Director Tina Hayden presenting to Mary Hadsall, Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship

• CCPR Director Patty Byerly presenting to local Boy Scout Troop #124

In addition to the above-mentioned charities, the CCPR Committee raised more than a $1,000 by matching individual contributions to honor the 19 fallen Hot Shot firefighters who lost their lives in the Yarnell Hill fire.

“We are extremely proud to be in the position to give back to our community”, said Casale during the award ceremony. “To date this is the largest contribution recorded by our Association and it truly

reflects our membership’s spirit of volunteerism. Volunteerism is the basis for what we do every year in producing the Cave Creek Fiesta Days™ Rodeo. Volunteerism is the greatest thing you can do for your community and these donations bring us full circle in our mission.”

Bill Buckles commented on the fact that the Board of Directors worked hard to find local charities to support.

“We like that we know who we are helping,” he said. “This money stays in Arizona and helps Arizonans. We may not know them personally, but we probably know someone who does.”

Carefree approves permitTARA AlATORRE

SPECIAl fOR ThE fOOThIllS fOCUS

Carefree’s planning and zoning board’s recom-mendation to add a new mixed use permit, which allows existing commercial buildings to retrofit second story spaces for residential use, was approved unanimously after some discussion, at the July 2, monthly town council meeting.

The new ordinance applies to all existing commercial buildings in the town center. Those property owners can apply for a mixed use permit, provided that two on-site parking spots are designated for each residential unit. The spaces, however, cannot be along Easy Street, where public parking spots are already limited in space.

The recommendation was made to the Carefree Town Council on grounds that it would help improve retail economy in the area. Planning and zoning commissioner, D.J. Stapley, citied that commercial buildings were prohibited from any type of retrofitting due to how the current zoning ordinance is written.

“It will ultimately help with retail in the area,” said Stapley.

The amendment to the

Carefree zoning ordinance will not affect how new commercial buildings apply for mixed use permits, which ultimately requires approval from town council. Plus buildings that do apply for the mixed-use permit still have to abide by all the standard Carefree building requirements.

Mayor David Schwan wanted the zoning board to ensure that the new amendment would not include the Pima Norte office suites, which is not in a commercial district, before moving to approve the ordinance. Stapley reassured Schwan and the council that Pima Norte was not zoned in a commercial area, and could not apply for the new permit.

The town council with no discussion also unanimously approved the purchase of two Ford vehicles, an F150 and a Fusion citing a continued efficiency improvements to town vehicles on the meeting agenda.

The town council announced that the September town council meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. on Sept. 10, rather than the first Tuesday. The August meeting will be held at the usual time, at 5 p.m. on Aug. 6, at the Carefree Town Hall, 100 Easy Street.

opinions and letters

It’s OK to smileAs candidate and later as

president, Ronald Reagan had a really good opening line, which almost invariably would make his audiences smile and softly chuckle: “As King Henry VIII said to each of his six wives, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t keep you long.’”

When first lady Nancy Reagan was openly displeased with her

h u s b a n d ’ s then-White House Chief of Staff D o n a l d R e g a n , P r e s i d e n t R e a g a n could quip to a press group that efforts

were being made to patch up relations between his wife and his aide, that they had actually met for an off-the-record, private lunch, “just the two of them ... and their food-tasters. “

Before political opponents could poke fun at his Hollywood background, Ronald Reagan would beat them to the punch by first quoting the reaction of movie studio boss Jack Warner, who upon being told that Reagan was running for governor of California, said: “All wrong. Jimmy Stewart for governor. Reagan for best friend.”

Don’t get me wrong. I am not nominating Reagan for Mount Rushmore. He twice, without my votes, won thumping presidential landslide victories. But what I do miss, besides the man’s infectious optimism and his being so obviously comfortable in his own skin, is the self-mocking humor he brought to our nation’s public life. That’s a delightful humor which is so sorely missing today.

You could write all the memorable one-liners of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on the back of a Post-it note and still have room for a list of President Barack Obama’s spontaneous, self-deprecating hits. Neither House Speaker John Boehner nor House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is known for delivering witty thigh-slappers. Washington and American political life are suffering from an acute humor deficit.

The last time I checked the polls, only one U.S. politician was rated favorably by

Democratic, Republican and independent voters. That would be New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie.

Now in our hypersensitive, politically correct era, we understand that any comments about someone’s physical appearance are unacceptable and can lead to a severe reprimand from the nearest Human Resources czar. Because I have had too many second servings of Ben & Jerry’s, friendly critics and critical friends have said I, by actual count, have more chins than the San Francisco phonebook (drum roll). This somehow permits me to suggest a line to Gov. Christie, who as most people know, is overweight and publicly committed to losing a lot of pounds before the 2016 New Hampshire presidential primary.

Taking a leaf from Ronald Reagan’s winning playbook, Christie could say something like this on a late-night talk show: People asked me what convinced me to seek medical help. Here’s how you know when you’re overweight. If you’re sitting in the bathtub and you see the water level in the toilet bowl starts to rise, you know you’ve got a problem!

What Christie could accomplish with such a self-deprecating (if mildly offending) line is what Ronald Reagan understood so intuitively — that once you have voluntarily laughed at your own publicly perceived shortcoming, then your political critics cannot, without looking like mean-spirited scolds who are piling on, seek to revisit the same subject.

Early in his first term, Reagan’s White House staff had failed to wake the president to inform him that two U.S. Navy fighter planes had shot down two attacking Libyan jets. Editorials and cartoons criticizing Reagan’s disengagement followed, which the Gipper eventually silenced by saying he had “laid down the law. From now on, when anything happens, no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.”

US needs sensible immigration policyThe intense debate over

immigration reform in the USA has riveted many in the west of Ireland. That’s because in addition to millions of Hispanic aliens, a significant number of Irish would benefit from immigration clarity. Just ask

anyone in the Wo o d s i d e section of Q u e e n s , New York.

The census e s t i m a t e s that there are nearly 35 million Americans

of Irish descent living in America, and many of them had ancestors who fled to the United States to save their lives. The vicious Irish famine reached its height in 1847 as hundreds of thousands of starving people boarded so-called “coffin ships” to come to the USA. Many died on those ships — victims of disease on the long voyage. Their bodies were often thrown overboard into the sea.

In Ireland itself, more than a million people died from hunger and disease during the famine years. The British controlled the country and, incredibly, exported grain to London even as Irish children were dying in the streets. British soldiers actually had to guard the grain

stores, killing the Irish who stormed the storage facilities.

Thus, there are still deep wounds in this country of fewer than 5 million. More than a few Irish noticed a visiting American news commentator and asked about the proposed immigration reform. All favored it because of the sensitivity to the suffering of poor people.

The United States today is a far different place from what it was in the mid-19th century, when our vast land needed folks to settle and expand into the west. Then, there was no such thing as an “illegal alien.” If you physically made it here, you were an American.

Simply showing up entitled you to pursue the dream of prosperity.

But today our country is fragile. The economy is stagnant, and social problems dominate the landscape. Back when my people arrived from Galway, in the 1840s, there was little in the way of social welfare and entitlements. You either earned your way or wound up in the street. America did not support immigrants; it simply gave them a chance.

What has not changed is the humanity of most Americans. People without an agenda realize that most illegal aliens are here to feed their families, not to cause trouble. But we

also realize that our federal government has allowed and sometimes encouraged immigration chaos, which has damaged the fabric of the nation. You simply cannot allow more than 10 million people to occupy your territory without any accountability. And that’s what has happened.

I told the good people in western Ireland who approached me that I hope a fair but tough immigration bill passes this year — one that will put an end to the porous southern border and make undocumented aliens earn their citizenship over an extended period of time.

The most powerful nation on earth should be able to pass a fair, effective immigration law that combines compassion with responsibility and does not injure hardworking Americans who are taxed up to here.

We should be able to do that. It will be shameful if we don’t.

Rural Metro needs help from Carefree residentsAt least once a month the Fire

Department, and or Sheriff’s Department incurs a delayed “emergency response” to a resident due to a poorly marked address. Sometimes there is no

address at all. You can imagine this situation is made even worse during the nighttime and early morning hours.

We all know how to get to our own homes, but the firefighters

and sheriff’s deputies cannot possibly memorize every address in town.

Please help us help you.Glenn Miller Carefree Town Councilman
