Perhaps subscribing to the axiom that it takes a village to raise a child, Anthem will host the first of four event this year designed at helping keep kids substance free.

From 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 24 there will be an introduction to Family Day and Drug Education event at the Anthem Community Center. Pizza and beverages will be provided. Parents, grandparents, and kids of all ages are welcome to attend the event.

The quartet of events are sponsored by the Anthem Community Council, Community Bridges, Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office (MCSO), and the City of Phoenix, and in preparation for “Anthem Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with your Children.” The program is modeled around “National Family Day,” a national movement that fosters engagement between kids and parents.

Stephanie Siete, the Director of Community Education for Community Bridges Inc., will be one of the guest speakers at the opening event.

The 20th annual Carefree Fine Art and Wine Festival gets under way on Friday.

The three-day event, which runs from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. through Sunday in downtown Carefree is highlighted by featured artist Richard Curtner as one of 165 award-winning artists. Various wineries and live music will also be part of the festivities.

The relationship started 20 years ago when the Carefree Cave Creek Chamber of Commerce approached Thunderbird Artists to produce a quality fine art event in the Town of Carefree.

Back then Carefree was a destination, with single road access and a beautiful scenic drive through the valley.

It was long and picturesque, a botanical experience with white silhouetted chollas and pale green prickly pear cacti, delicate palo verde and mesquite trees, saguaros and lovely cactus flowers in whites, pinks, yellows, oranges and reds. The desert was quite, peaceful and the drive was mesmerizing. ‘If you build it, they will come’ and despite the distance 20 years ago, the inaugural Carefree Fine Art and Wine Festival was

More than 500 area residents turned out for the unveiling of a four foot granite memorial honoring Bill Coleman, the 50-year-old New River resident, who was shot and killed while responding to a burglary on Jan. 8, 2012.

On the one year anniversary of Coleman's death, two ceremonies took place. Following a 4:14 a.m. tribute, for family, friends and colleagues, during which a new U.S. flag was sent up a flag pole, purchased by MCSO employees, a second ceremony took place for the public.

Just a short walk from the spot where the new flag pole

marked the approximate spot where the incident occurred, behind the Pizza Hut and Starbucks at 3632 W. Anthem Way, throngs of area residents and media members listened to a letter written by Bill’s wife, Beth.

“We’d like to thank the community for coming out tonight,” she wrote in a letter read by MCSO officer Danny McFarland. “We’d like to thank the community for helping us figure out how to live without a husband, a dad, a brother. We were carried by all of you throughout the last year. We want to look forward to all the

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is an old adage that the Boulder Creek Jaguars girls basketball team is hoping applies to their 2012-2013 season.

The Jaguars (13-7) opened the season by winning five of their first seven games only to see sophomore guard Darian Slaga fracture her ankle in a 41-33 win over Mountain Ridge Nov. 27.

Taking one of the primary ball handlers out of the lineup and the team’s leading scorer from a season ago, when she averaged 18.3 points per game, had a significant ripple effect.

“That’s not somebody you just replace, but I’m really proud of the kids,” second year coach Josiah McDaniel said. “We had a lot of players step up their games in her abscence.”

The coach said two of the biggest contributions in keeping the ship afloat came from juniors Kali Morris and Hannah Nielson.

In Slaga’s absence the Jaguars managed a 6-5 record. On Monday, in only her second game back since the injury, the Jaguars avenged a previous loss to Prescott with a 68-66 win.

After jumping out to a 20-12 advantage at the end of the first quarter the Jaguars looked to be in control leading by seven at halftime and still maintaining a seven point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Badgers, who defeated Boulder Creek 60-44 on Dec. 1 in Prescott, wouldn’t go down easily though.

“We lost up there to them and you could tell they came out thinking they were going to beat us,” Jaguars senior center Sam Young said. “It ended up being a good challenge. We kept our heads in the game and got it done though.”

When the Badgers scored seven of the first nine points in the fourth quarter they were back within two for the first time since the first quarter, when the game was 4-2.

“We’ve obviously got to defend better than we did tonight,” McDaniel said. “We can’t give up 66 points and expect to win very often.”

With the deficit trimmed to two Morris drove to the basket, but couldn’t finish a contested layup. Instead of the Badgers getting the ball back and having a chance to tie or take the lead Nielsen, won a battle for the offensive rebound

and then kicked the ball back out to Morris who responded with a three pointer that pushed the lead back to five with 5:30 minutes left in the game.

Prescott, which scored 11 of their 24 points in the fourth quarter from the free throw line (11-of-14), hung tough by continuously driving the ball to the basket.

“We didn’t adjust to how the game was being called,” McDaniel lamented. “We’ve got to defend without fouling. We also can’t give up offensive rebounds like we did. Those almost always end in fouls.”

With 3:04 remaining in the game Prescott’s Brette Anderson gave the Badgers a 59-58 lead, one that would go back and forth down the stretch.

For the Jaguars, Slaga, who led four Jaguars in double figures with 15 points, scored six of those points in the game’s final five minutes. Two baskets came on a pair of drives, including an acrobatic reverse layup on an assist feed from freshman point guard Haley Villeagas. The other two came by converting a pair of free throws.

Despite her efforts the Jaguars found themselves clinging to a 65-64 lead after Young,

who finished with 13 points,

fouled out.

Down one, with less than 20

seconds to play, the Badgers

fouled Villeagas, sending the

freshman to the line.

“The other night she was

three assists short of a triple double,” McDaniel said. “She’s very competitive. It doesn’t matter if it’s a card game. She doesn’t like to lose. It’s very reassuring knowing she'll be at point guard the next three years.”

Villegas made both free throws as the Jaguars were eventually able to hold off the Badgers.

With seven games remaining in the regular season, the Jaguars as of press time Tuesday, stood at No. 19 in the Division I power rankings. The state tournament field will include 24 squads.

“Every game is important for us,” McDaniel said. “We just have to keep getting better.”

On Thursday the Jaguars travel to Cave Creek to take on the Falcons (4-11). The Jaguars remaining schedule also includes home games against Goldwater (3-15) on Tuesday, against Deer Valley (4-11) Jan. 24, and against Xavier (14-5) on Jan. 30. Their road schedule includes games at Xavier on Jan. 25, at Deer Valley Jan. 29 and at Salpointe Catholic in Tucson on Feb. 1.

STAFF REPORT

Supervisor Andy Kunasek, who was elected as chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for 2013, has vowed to work on giving greater flexibility and transparency to the county’s regulatory system to encourage economic growth.

“We need regulation that protects us where necessary,” Kunasek said in his formal c h a i r m a n ’ s a d d r e s s , delivered shortly after county elected officials were sworn into office. “But we shouldn’t bury business and individuals in red tape and senseless regulations that exist out of habit, not need.”

He said that he would also assign County Manager Tom Manos to work with other officials to prevent the criminal justice system “from slowing down.”

“Each extra day in jail, the longer it takes to move a defendant through the courts takes money,” he said.

Kunasek also suggested the

county follow the lead of the City of Phoenix and encourage “adaptive reuse,” the renovation of old buildings for new uses. “Today, we have more new innovative restaurants and businesses than we’ve ever had,” Kunasek said. “This is good for neighborhoods, small business and good for the economy.”

Kunasek has been chairman four other times as a supervisor, the last time in 2011. He has been a s u p e r v i s o r since 1997.

R e t u r n i n g b o a r d m e m b e r s , b e s i d e s K u n a s e k , are District 4 Supervisor

Max Wilson, of Litchfield Park, and Mary Rose Wilcox, of Phoenix District 5. They are joined by newly elected Supervisors Denny Barney and Steve Chucri. Both are Republicans and East Valley residents. Chucri, a Mesa resident, represents District 2 and Barney, from Gilbert, will represent District 1.

Kunasek pushes to find balance between oversight,

On a night where the lack of heat in Cave Creek left for a frozen bunch of Falcons soccer fans, the Cactus Shadows boys soccer team caught fire in overtime as they pulled away for a 7-3 win against Goldwater on Friday.

A game that was knotted at two at the end of regulation saw six goals scored in overtime as the Falcons improved to 4-1-1 in overtime this season.

“Once we got that first goal in overtime I think our guys had some confusion as to whether or not we wanted to play defensively or keep attacking,” Falcons coach Tony Vos said. “My philosophy is you keep attacking.”

With temperature dipping below freezing the Falcons improved their record to 10-2-1 overall. With the win they moved to No. 5 in the Section II power ratings, which will be used to determine seeding for the state playoffs.

Early in the night the combination of sophomores Michael Sheehan and goalie Sam Slack allowed the Falcons the opportunity to have a chance later in the evening.

Down 1-0, less than seven minutes into the game, Slack made a miraculous save just one minute after the game’s initial goal, making a lunging dive to deflect a shot from point-blank range.

It would be one of three stellar stops Slack made to keep his team in the game in the first half.

“We’re really lucky to have two quality goalies,” Vos said. “Sam had a strong first half, but Harrison (Bryant) was really strong in the second half and then in overtime. We’ve always had that here at Cactus Shadows. When we had regions we’d have the keeper of the year every season.”

The Falcons offense got on the board nearly halfway through the first half when Sheehan took advantage of a miscue by Bulldogs senior keeper Tyler Waldrip.

After the Bulldogs senior scooped up the ball, well to the right of his net, he mishit his punt effort, which landed at the

feet of Sheehan, approximately 35 yards out from the goal.

The sophomore wasted little time in corralling the loose ball and then shot high toward an open goal. Waldrip scrambled to get back in net, but his leaping effort went for naught as Sheehan’s shot snuck perfectly in under the cross bar.

Approximately seven minutes later Sheehan gave his team the lead, converting from 20 yards out on another shot to the top of the net.

“We expected a tough game from these guys,” Sheehan said. “It felt good to get the lead back for us.”

After Goldwater tied the game late in the first half the two team engaged in a wild second half, one that saw both teams have multiple scoring opportunities, but no goals.

In overtime, junior Nick Jackson who had gotten off to a slow start early in the game, even asking out at one point, took over.

“It was freezing,” he said. “I don’t know I just wasn’t right. I subbed out and just needed to get back in the right mindset.”

Later on though, when the game still remained in doubt, Jackson said he was reminded of something his dad told him.

“He said that clutch situations in tight games are when superstars are born,” Jackson said.

In the overtime the Falcons needed little time to take the lead. Less than a minute into the extra session a centering pass from the far right corner resulted in a shot by sophomore Allen Luhrs. His effort was deflected, but the ball fell to the feet of Jackson, who capitalized from in tight to make the score 3-2.

Less than a minute later junior Jonah Vittorio tacked on what proved to be the game winner with a shot to the far corner to make the scored 4-2.

Goldwater didn’t go down easily though as Matt McCombs pulled his team within one at 4-3 when he scored with a shot from more than 30 yards out.

With the game still in doubt, at 4-3 heading to the second overtime, the Falcons put the game away in short order.

On a play set up by Jackson, junior Sean Butcher gave the Falcons a two-goal advantage again, with 8:29 remaining in the game.

Short on time, Goldwater was forced to move more of its players into the attack. The Falcons would take advantage as Jackson showed off his speed, getting behind the defense. With a one on one against the Goldwater keeper Jackson scored easily to make the score 6-3.

an instant success with people coming from everywhere - all over the valley.

Twenty years later, driving to Carefree is faster with Loop 101. The landscape has changed tremendously until drivers approach the outskirts

of Carefree and surrounded by the Sonoran desert with large boulders, towering saguaros and elegant mountain views, they are reminded of the tranquility and beauty of the desert.

The one thing that hasn’t changed is the fine art arena created by the award-winning producer, Thunderbird Artists. The Town of Carefree closes their streets to welcome 165 artists, musicians and wineries with their “Carefree style” hospitality. Their slogan is ‘Home of Cowboys and Caviar, Where the Old West Meets the New’.

Patrons have the opportunity to meet the artists and examine exhibited paintings, unique

scratchboard, batiks, sparkling glass, stone and metal, copper, and clay and mixed media sculptures.

There is also medium to life-sized bronzes, mixed media sculptures, along with photography, jewelry and more.

Another thing that hasn’t changed is the surrounding boutiques, specialty shops, galleries, restaurants and outdoor cafes, which provide hospitality.

The festival is located at 101 Easy Street in downtown Carefree. Admission is free for Carefree residents, and $3 for non-Carefree residents. Parking is free. For information on the event call 480-837-5637 or go to thunderbirdartists.com.

good that can be accomplished with Bill’s love.”

On a day in which another MCSO officer, Ruben Garcia, was shot in Peoria, Sheriff Joe Arpaio addressed the crowd.

“We seem to be living in a violent society,” Arpaio said. “Our officers do a tough job. Law enforcement personnel need the support of the communities they serve. By showing up tonight, by showing the love and thanks to Officer Coleman the great community of Anthem has shown the character of its residents.”

In Beth’s letter she encouraged those in attendance to do what they can to support the Garcia family.

“Please pray for the recovery of the officer that was shot today,” she wrote. “The prayers mean more than you could possibly know.”

Tim Joyner of the Anthem Posse spoke of Coleman as a role model for law enforcement personnel.

“He was an exceptional man,” Joyner said. “He was an advocate for a lot of us that

worked in this community. He was a mentor too. Working with him was a learning experience for all of us. He demanded much of his colleagues, but never more than what he demanded of himself.”

The memorial was made possible by the contributions of the Daisy Mountain Veterans, Rotary Club of Anthem, Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office North Valley Posse, Hands Across Anthem and Mark Stokes, the property owner.

Before unveiling the memorial, Captain Rich Burden read the call, describing in detail what transpired that fateful morning.

Responding to a burglary call at the medical office located at 3548 W. Anthem Way, Coleman and his partner eventually came to a van parked in the parking lot behind the nearby Starbucks.

After stirring the occupant, later identified as Drew Ryan Maras, who had killed a New Hampshire couple in Sedona just two days prior, a deadly battle ensued.

After ignoring verbal commands from Coleman, Maras flung open the sliding

door to his van and struck Coleman in the arm and abdomen, just below his bullet proof vest, with shots fired from an AR-15 assault rifle.

All told the encounter, which lasted 43 seconds, saw 70 rounds of ammunition fired, ultimately ending in the death of both Coleman and Maras.

In what the MCSO describes as the most violent gun battle in its history, Burden praised the three surviving officers on scene that morning.

“I commend them for their steadfast bravery and tenacity above and beyond the call of duty,” he said. “They expressed their love for a fallen comrade. I’m proud and honored by their actions.”

Turning his attention to Beth, Burden made a promise.

“Bill will never be forgotten and you will always be a part of our family,” he said.

Pastor Bob Lehman, of Arizona Hills Church said the community will be able to use the memorial.

“May we never forget Bill Coleman, his family and every time we pass this memorial may we be reminded of his sacrifice for this community,” he said.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was at Anthem Elementary on Jan. 9 to announce a plan in which as many as 500 armed volunteers will patrol areas just outside schools in an effort to guard against shootings like December’s attack at a Connecticut elementary school that left 26 people dead.

The patrols were launched at 59 schools in unincorporated area and communities that pay MCSO for police services.

Arpaio hopes to have as many as 400 posse volunteers and another 100 volunteers known as reserve deputies take part in the patrols.

The sheriff said school shootings in Connecticut and elsewhere and last month’s arrest of an Arizona student accused of planning an attack at her high school led to his decision to launch the patrols.

The volunteers, dressed in uniforms and driving patrol vehicles, won’t go onto school grounds unless they spot danger and won’t sit in stationary spots. Instead, they’ll patrol several schools as

part of their driving routes.

“I want everyone to know about it for

the deterrence effect,” he said.

The announcement came on the same

day that the top Democrat in the Arizona

House put forth a proposal to triple

funding for school resource officers,

add money for mental health treatment

and require background checks

on all buyers at gun shows.

Arpaio said no taxpayer money

would be spent on the patrols and

volunteers will be supervised by

radio or phone by deputies.

Members wear uniforms and can get

authorized to carry a gun after training,

though only 400 can actually carry

guns. They can make arrests only at

the direction of a deputy sheriff. Posse

operations generally don’t receive

taxpayer money and instead are

funded through contributions and dues

paid by posse members.

The reserve deputies who will join

posse members in the school patrols have

all the training and powers of a regular

law enforcement officer but aren’t paid

for their police work.

STAFF REPORT

R a y m o n d Sol, also known as the “Tai Chi Guy” at Paradise V a l l e y Communit y C o l l e g e at Black

Mountain, has a new AKA to add to his credentials: 2012 Outstanding Adjunct Faculty.

The Maricopa Community College District’s Adjunct Faculty Association recognizes outstanding adjunct faculty through a multiple stage process that includes self-assessment, a detailed descriptive application and two or more recommendations. Sol was one of 24 adjunct faculty selected from the 437 who initially submitted self-assessments.

Sol was hired in Fall 2010 to teach a Tai Chi class at Black Mountain in partnership class with the Desert Foothills YMCA. Starting with just six students, he immediately took initiative to promote his class and build enrollment. His strategy not only boosted enrollment, it created a community.

“His enthusiasm and charismatic personality have

really helped grow the Tai Chi program from six people to 35 students,” says Loretta Mondragon, Black Mountain site coordinator. “Ray’s students speak highly of him and the Tai Chi style that they have learned. During periods when class is not in session, students will gather together and practice their Tai Chi moves.”

In Fall 2012, the Tai Chi program was moved to a local church, allowing students to take the class without paying an additional YMCA membership fee, which resulted in enrollment growing 106 percent and allowing PVCC Black Mountain to offer three sections of Tai Chi in Spring 2013. He has expanded his Tai Chi to include an outdoor recreation class at local parks, which incorporates hiking with Tai Chi.

“I teach to help students make significant changes in their lives. Positive interactions with students, and making learning fun for students are my primary goals as a teacher,” Sol says. “Whether in schools or corporations, I have been teaching most of my life. I’m the most proud when students achieve success in the world, using what they learned in my

classes. This happened when one of my students won a Gold Medal in the 2010 Arizona Senior Olympics.”

Mondragon notes that this champion senior had never taken a Tai Chi class before taking Sol’s classes. “This is a great confirmation to Ray’s teaching and motivation.”

Sol participates in professional growth activities to enhance not only his martial art instruction but also teaching and learning in general. He worked with the PVCC’s Center for Teaching and Learning to develop an instructional video that helps students practice skills on their own. He also developed a comprehensive Tai Chi instructional manual provided to the students as part of the curriculum.

Sol also has worked with the Foothills Community Foundation at the Black Mountain Campus. Some students who have taken senior Tai Chi in partnership with FCF are now taking Tai Chi classes for credit at PVCC.

Sol has his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Education and is a member of the Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Association and the International Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association.

Anthem Salvation Army collects nearly $25,000

SOL

STAFF REPORT

The Anthem Salvation Army Service Extension Unit’s (SEU) 2012 bell ringing campaign raised nearly $25,000. More than 310 toys, 60 coats, six bicycles and numerous hats and gloves were collected during the Fill the Truck toy drive on Dec. 8 at the Anthem Walmart.

The money raised will be used to assist families in a crisis situation with their utilities, shelter and food. The Service Extension Unit services those in Anthem and New River, as well as some areas just south of Anthem. The items collected from the toy drive were distributed to needy families in the same areas.

Tom Leyda and Tim Maki, volunteer co-chairs for the Anthem Salvation Army, and Del Mau, volunteer daily operations coordinator,

thank all those who donated at one of the three red kettle locations at the Anthem Safeway, Frys and Walmart.

“We know these are difficult times for many families in the area,” Tom Leyda said. “The overwhelming generosity extended by so many proves this Christmas truly was a season of giving.”

The bell ringing campaign included 250 individuals from the Anthem and surrounding communities, local businesses and local organizations.

“We are grateful to our many volunteers, some who rang three and four times this season,” Larry Evans, the campaign coordinator for Walmart volunteers, said. “We could not serve so many families without the volunteers who ring the bell for us each year.

The toy drive was

coordinated through the Anthem Giving Circle.

“We are so appreciative for the members of the Anthem Giving Circle,” Tim Maki said. “To see so many people place money in the red kettle and then purchase toys for the “Fill the Truck campaign” continues to show how generous our community can be for those in need. ”

Those interested in donating to the Anthem Salvation Army Service Extension Unit to help community members in need, can make checks payable to the Anthem Salvation Army SEU and mailed to: Anthem Salvation Army SEU, 3655 Anthem Way A109, PMB107, Anthem, AZ 85086. One hundred percent of donations will help those in the area as the Salvation Army Anthem Extension Unit is coordinated by volunteers.

STAFF REPORT

How does catching a 2- or 3-pound rainbow trout sound? How about catching that trout right close to home? To kick off the New Year in a big way, the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Urban Fishing Program stocked incentive size trout the week of Jan. 7 - 12. In addition to the usual 11-12 inchers, incentive stockings include bigger fish and up to 20 percent more fish. Many of the more than 9,000 rainbow trout will be from 13-16 inches, and some even

larger ones up to 4 pounds are expected.

“This is a great way to start off the New Year and helps highlight that an urban fishing license is one of the best recreational buys out there – it’s a ticket to fun all year long,” said Eric Swanson, who heads up the urban fishing program.

Trout are routinely stocked in the urban program lakes from early November through the middle of March. Starting in March, channel catfish are stocked.

“These urban lakes also have sunfish and bass to

catch. Plus, these lakes are all in city parks that also offer other recreational opportunities for the whole family,” Swanson said.

The Urban Fishing Program is self supporting, and the cost of the fishing license helps defray the cost of purchasing and stocking the fish. “It’s a user pay, user play concept that can net you a lot of fun throughout the year,” Swanson said.

For information on the Urban Fishing Program, visit www.azgfd.gov or obtain one of the newly-printed 2013 Urban Fishing Guidebooks.

“He’s really been a big game player for us all year,” Vos said of Jackson. “He’s approaching 20 goals on the season and has probably six assists too.”

The final tally would come come a little more than two minutes later when Sheehan came up with his third goal of the game.

“He really deserved that for the way he played in the first half,” Vos said. “He really kept us in the game. His fight in the midfield was really something. It was brilliant.”

Sheehan was excited to accomplish the rare feat.

“A couple games ago I had two goals, but wasn’t able to get the hat trick,” he said. “The guys were looking for me once I got the two so that was pretty exciting to be able to get the third.”

With five games remaining in the

regular season, the Falcons, No. 5 in the Division II power ratings, looked to avenge one of their only losses when they played host to Greenway on Tuesday (results unavailable at press time). Tonight they host Paradise Valley at 6 p.m. before playing a home and home against Notre Dame Prep on Monday and Tuesday with the Saints coming to Cave Creek for the home finale. The Falcons close the regular season at Shadow Mountain on Jan. 23.

“We’d like to do well enough to assure a top eight seed and a first round home playoff game, but honestly I don’t really care,” the coach said. “If it came down to being the last seed and having to knock off the No. 1 seed in the first round we’d take our chances.”

“The belief is and the studies show that families who eat dinner together communicate more,” she said. “By talking they reduce the likelihood of a number of high risk behaviors.”

Siete said she often is asked to speak at schools, but said a community wide event is unique.

She said that drugs can be an issue in any community.

“Drugs don’t discriminate,” Siete said. “It’s a community problem. It’s bigger than just who uses it. There’s the criminal activity that support their habits.”

Siete said drug abuse can come in different forms.

“In this day and age a lot of times teens are abusing prescription drugs in the home,” she said. “We’ll talk about the trends today that often parents simply aren’t aware of. We want this event to bring about a heightened awareness for everyone. Taking the blinders off is critical.”

Additionally Siete said signs to look for that suggest a child may be experimenting with drugs will be offered during the seminar.

Siete said she recommends the seminar for parents of fifth to seventh graders and on up through high school.

“This series of drug education events is the first of its kind for Anthem,” City of Phoenix Commander, Joseph Klima said. “These events will set the precedent, and be a benchmark for other communities in the

Black Mountain Precinct for years to come.”

In addition to this month’s first seminar the remaining schedule includes Operation Hope on April 17, National Family Day Awareness and Drug Education Seminar on Sept. 19 and then a Drug Awareness Community Panel on Dec. 12.

“I think it’s great that they’re devoting a year’s worth of events toward these topics rather than simply doing one event and forgetting about it,” Siete said.

The event will take place at the ACC Community Center, located at 41130 N. Freedom Way.

Child care will be offered to parents for the duration of the presentation. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP at onlineatanthem.com/anthem-family-day.

AIRLINES ARE HIRING

I wish for more volunteers to help keep Pioneer Village hopping every day that it is open. We have one of the greatest classrooms in Arizona for teaching history. Today we limit our mission to the years 1863 to 1912, but the founders envisioned much more. They wanted to include the contributions of native inhabitants, Spanish Conquistadors, Mexicans, fur trappers, the military, and any other group that contributed to our heritage.

We need more crafts-persons who just enjoy sharing their love for their hobby or avocation with others. Recently, Gil came to share his love of carpentry. We have ladies who come to the Northern Cabin to demonstrate weaving, and John is hoping to do a little printing in our shop. I have overheard several ladies inquire about sewing in the dress shop. These are skills, hobbies and passions that need a place they can be shared. Pioneer is that place.

We’d also like to see more funds to support Pioneer’s ongoing mission. We need sponsors for the buildings and increased ticket sales.

Maybe this will be the year that miners Gideon or Ned will strike a rich vein on the mountain. Today they are moving rocks or building sluices, tomorrow their efforts might provide our endowment.

We now have two gun-fighting groups, Guns of Pioneer and The Boothill Express Company. Many of you have seen GOP, but you have to be in the event arena on two different weekends each month to enjoy the BEC. Thanks Carter, Renegade, JC, Old West, Duke, Dusty, Tom B, Dutch, Wyatt, Tom, Bullshipper, Digger, Lightenin’, Tony, Bart and all those who regularly fight and die on the street of Ciganville. May the gunfighters have all the ammunition they need, and may they have a safe year

entertaining the crowds.I wish the Board all the best

in making the Chuckwagon a go-to venue in the North Valley. It takes time, I know, but may 2013 bring the revenue that not only supports the restaurant, but also contributes to the ongoing operation of Pioneer Village. Perhaps our cowboy troubadours, Dusty and Tom B, will begin drawing ever larger crowds as their fan-base increases.

Speaking of ongoing operations, kudos to Stephanie on her latest juggling act! She is not only running the Village, but has been managing the restaurant as well. Each of these businesses are major undertakings for a manager, Stephanie has maintained her cheerful smile in both venues. And we don’t want to forget the staff. We have a great group of hard-working employees that care very much about the future of Pioneer. May the year ahead be safe, profitable and enjoyable for all of them.

For Charlie, I wish the discovery of that next elusive treasure that will round-out another element of his collection.

This might be the year Dusty Weaseltail gets his gallows repaired. He is afraid he might have to turn some desperadoes loose on the Village, as he is getting overstocked on evil doers, and Sheriff Joe has refused to accept any more of our overflow.

Schoolmarms Jan and Lois hope to see new roofs back at the schoolyard. In fact, we hope that all of our cabins will soon be treated with that TLC that they so richly deserve. If only the roofs could be repaired, it would mean so much for the preservation of these unique buildings and their artifacts.

Thanks to all our special docents who take time from their busy schedules to teach history to our kids, parents, teachers and visitors. Thanks to

Nancy, Eileen, Jo Ann, Cindy, Jane and Barbara who see to it that our houses and shops are open for viewing and that they are kept dusted and as clean as they can keep them.

If I have forgotten to thank any of our regulars, like Greg and his Civil War display or Warren at the wheelwright’s, please forgive me. You all matter, and you all deserve a pat on the back or more if it were possible. Of course, I can’t forget Bil, who provides all of those wonderful, quirky cartoons and posters for our Village.

One last big thank you to Tom and Doc, who walk the entire village on a routine basis, leading tours and educating our visitors. You give 100 percent when you’re there. Our Village is richer thanks to your efforts. May the soles of your boots never wear out.

Pioneer is an evolving experience. As volunteers, we watch the show with dedicated interest. We are the beneficiaries of the faith, foresight and fortitude of those who had the vision to preserve these wonderful buildings, but they are only buildings. The true value comes from the knowledge, experience and ability of our volunteers to bring their vision to life.

You are the true ambassadors for the pioneer legacy that is preserved at Pioneer Arizona. Therefore, I wish you health and happiness in 2013. I wish for you the time and energy to pursue your interests and dreams. And I fervently hope that you will be able to devote some of that time and energy to making 2013 the best year ever at Pioneer Arizona.

Thank you for all of your time, energy, enthusiasm and willingness to share in the Pioneer experience.
