Carefree council

approves road

overhaul of $1 million

MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

The Carefree town council voted unanimously to approve the expenditure of $1,007,557.70 to improve the quality of the town’s roads at the Aug. 7 meeting.

The bid, which went to Regional Maintenance, included a 5 percent contingency plan.

According to town administrators the town staff walked all the streets in town and prioritized them for scheduling the work.

Councilman Arthur Gimson pointed out that the bid for the project is nearly $200,000 under the budgeted $1.2 million for the fiscal year 2012-2013.

Work is scheduled to begin later this month with completion expected within 60 days.

The meeting also saw the council put a plan in place for Carefree to find a replacement for councilman Jim Van Allen, who resigned in July.

Arizona Public Service Company is inviting the public to attend an open house from 6 – 8 p.m., tonight at the cafeteria at Horseshoe Trails Elementary.

APS has identified five route alternatives for a new 69-kilovolt electric power line. The power line will run from the Cave Creek Substation to the Gavilan Peak Substation, transporting electricity between substations and ultimately into homes and businesses to serve customers. The upgrade is necessary to provide more reliable service to the area.

A project that was initially projected to be completed by June of this year would have seen six miles of 64 foot tall line added along the north side of Desert Hills from 7th Ave. to 12th St. and along the east and west side of 7th Ave. from Desert Hills to Carefree Highway.

The cause for the delay was an overwhelmingly negative reaction from members of the community on a new 69,000 volt line that would have seen poles on both the east and west side of the street.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusAPS is seeking input on five possible routes for a new 69-kilovolt electric power line that will run from the Cave Creek Substation to the Gavilan Peak Substation. An open house regarding the power lines will take place from 6 - 8 p.m. tonight at Horseshoe Trails Elementary.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusStephanie Affholter completed her first day as a teacher at Diamond Canyon in Anthem on Monday. After having her children at the school Affholter, a stay at home mom decided to go back to school so she could become a teacher.

APS hosts open house on location of power lines

Veteran, new teacher both eager for school year


Diamond Canyon sixth grade teacher Rose Morew and third grade teacher Stephanie Affholter sound awfully similar when describing their emotions as the 2012-2013 school year got under way Monday in Anthem.

“I had a hard time sleeping,” Morew said. “I’m looking forward to getting started. “It’s exciting getting to know the students. It’s a fresh start and you want to jump right in there.”

Affholter agrees.“I didn’t really know what

to expect. Today was nerve racking, exciting, but once I got started all that went away quickly,” she said.

While Morew has been

teaching since 1981, with stops in Canada and California before spending the last seven years teaching at Diamond Canyon, Monday was day one of Affholter’s teaching career.

“I was a stay at home mom, but once I was around this school and the people I told myself that this was something I have to go do,” Affholter said.

After doing some volunteering at the school Affholter went back to school to get her degree in education. With an eighth grader, a fourth grader and a kindergarten student the mom and new teacher said she got a strong feeling for the school.

“The people here are so warm, so passionate,” she said. “I love this school so much.”

Affholter said seeing the

teachers who have been impactful to her children has given her a road map for the type of teacher she wants to be.

“I want my students to be loved, cared for and supported,” she said. “I’m also going to

have high expectations for them. As long as they know you want what’s best for them I’m confident they’ll reach those expectations.”

Morew, who has taught everything from third grade

Trading in boots for flip flops, belt buckles for grass skirts and cowboy hats for lais will be the order of the day on Sept. 2 at Harold’s Corral in Cave Creek

Danny Piacquadio, Harold’s Corral’s co-owner, started the Cave Creek Luau tradition 15 years ago.

“It’s probably the only place in Arizona where you’ll see real cowboys hula dancing and people of all ages competing in a limbo contest,” Piacquadio said.

The evening includes a pig roast luau buffet, Ka’ea Mauna Lani Hawaiian Luau dancers, a reggae performance by Grantman and the Island Beat, a limbo and hula contest, face painting, Lei making, Hawaiian vendors, drink specials and more.

Cheryl Fornshell will lead the Lani Hawaiian Luau dancers

“It’s a wonderful venue,” Fornshell said. “We’ve performed 14 of the 15 years and always had a wonderful time. Our group has been together for 18 years. We are a traditional Polynesian group.”

Performing a variety of Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan

and music from New Zealand Fornshell said she and the group of 18, with members ranging in age from 15 on up, are typically asked the same question.

“Danny really runs a family friendly event and the question we always hear is where can I learn to do this,” she said. “They tell us they’d like to get their kids involved. There are actually a lot of different groups in the Valley who teach everything from youngsters to grown ups.”

Fornshell said her group has benefitted from continuity as a large portion of the group has been together for the past 18 years.

Along with performing in Cave Creek the group’s other big event of the year comes in March when they perform at the Aloha Festival at Tempe Town Lake, which draws in groups from around the state.

Tickets for the event are $25 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under. Tables of 10 go for $275 and include a front row table, cocktail service and a complimentary Hawaiian gift.

Gates open at 6 p.m. The buffet begins at 6:30 with a host of options including roast pork, Mahi Mahi, shrimp/seafood casserole, herb roasted chicken,

Teriyaki steak and other traditional Hawaiian cuisine. A Hawaiian band will also begin performing outside.

The lua show begins outside at 7 p.m. with authentic Hawaiian Luau dances including the

traditional “Fire Knife Dance.”The entertainment,

celebrating the end of summer and Labor Day Weekend continues with Grantman and the Island Beat performing reggae music at 8:30 p.m.

Harold’s Cave Creek Corral is located at 6895 E. Cave Creek Road. To purchase tickets, call 480-488-1906 or visit www.haroldscorral.com.

Daisy Mountain Fire Department was investigating the scene of a fire at an Anthem Country Club home that ignited for the second time in less than 18 hours Friday morning.

Daisy Mountain Fire Department initially responded to 3040 W. Summit Walk Court at approximately 12:45 p.m. Thursday.

“A plumber was working on the house and the report is that something that was being done caused a fire in the wall,” Daisy Mountain public information officer Dave Wilson said. “Our crews arrived on the scene and were able to put out the fire, limiting it to the attic. The owner had evacuated. It was a non-eventful fire.”

As a precautionary measure Wilson said crews continued to check in on the house to make sure there weren’t any hot spots throughout the evening, with a last check-in at approximately 11:50 Thursday night.

Wilson said calls about a fire on Friday morning started coming in at 5:08 a.m.

“With where the home is people were calling to report large amounts of smoke and fire in the area, but they didn’t have an address,” Wilson said. “That home is on the north end of the country club by the mountain. It’s on a cul-de-sac that

doesn’t get a lot of traffic.”Due to the confusion the

home was fully engulfed by the time crews arrived on scene.

“At that point we’re in a defensive position, where we’re fighting it from the outside and our efforts swing to keeping it from spreading,” Wilson said.

The fire was extinguished without any injuries, but the home was a loss.

“It’s really uncommon that a home would go up a second time like that,” Wilson said. “Because of the complexity of the construction of the home there are lots of pockets in the attic that we can’t crawl up into. We use our technology, thermal imaging cameras to detect whether there’s any heat, but the insulation doesn’t necessarily work in our favor. It can smolder a long time without putting off much heat.”

As the fire at 3040 W. Summit Walk Court was being extinguished Friday morning, the crews on scene were forced to turn their attention to the house immediately to the west, at 3046 W. Summit Walk Court.

“While we were fighting the first fire apparently an ember logged under one of the tiles on the roof of 3046,” Wilson said.

The fire at the second home started at approximately 7:45 a.m., but was extinguished fairly quickly, with minimal damage, Wilson said.

Photo courtesy of Daisy Mountain Fire DepartmentAn Anthem Country Club home, at 3040 W. Summit Walk Court, caught fire for the second time in less than a day Friday morning. After extinguishing the fire in the early afternoon on Thursday the house caught fire again at approximately 5 a.m. Friday.

The route along 7th Ave. was roundly criticized at meetings in January. At a New River/Desert Hills Association meeting many in attendance questioned why an already widened 7th St. wouldn’t make more sense than to build on their residential streets. Some also suggested running the line along the Carefree Highway as another alternative.

In January critics of the original plan asked why the power lines couldn’t be buried, complaining about the health risks of living next to 69,000 volt lines, as well as the visual eyesore taking away from the scenic desert landscape and what they feel is a subsequent

drain on their property values.APS officials explained

that the cost of burying lines is approximately five to six times more expensive than above ground wires, which were estimated at $4.1 million. APS said they were willing to bury lines, but that the subscribers or some other entity would be on the hook to foot the additional cost.

Tonight’s meeting will be the first in an effort that will run through the end of September in which APS will seek feedback from customers to identify the most appropriate route. APS notes that further refinements of the route may be made based on

results of area stakeholders and public input.

After determining which of the five possible routes is best the new timeline will have the new line in service by approximately June of 2014.

The public can submit comments via email to the APS Project Manager, Richard Stuhan, at [email protected] or by phone at 602-493-4448. For information about the project go to aps.com/general_info/siting_51.html. Horseshoe Trails Elementary is located at 5405 E. Pinnacle Vista Drive in Phoenix.

to ninth grade during her teaching tenure, acknowledges much has changed during her career, both in terms of psychology and technique.

“Definitely technology,” she said. “That’s a major, major change. I used a ditto machine when I started and nobody starting today would even know what that is. Technology really rules the classroom. It’s a great tool. Sometimes I wonder what I did before I had certain tools.”

While she said the technology is a blessing, because her current students have grown up in the age of technology Morew said more is demanded of teachers in their efforts to reach students.

“They’re a different breed of kids, very social,” she said. “Kids today, they want more variety. School is a combination of academic and social growth. Back when I started we concentrated almost solely on academics. We work with the whole child now. We are more involved. You know more about your kids than you once did. You learn something special about each kid and that helps you, as a teacher, find ways to reach them and motivate them.”

Despite consistent talk about the lack of money devoted to education in Arizona the two said they prefer to look at things at the micro-level.

“You know, I don’t have the experience for a comparison of where things currently are in

education,” Affholter said. “All I can say is that my third grade team of teachers havs been so generous. The teamwork and camaraderie and the willingness to share resources gives me a lot of confidence in my ability to be successful.”

While Arizona ranked 44th out of 51 nationally in education, (Washington D.C. is counted separately to make 51) earlier this year Morew said she is optimistic with where education is moving.

“We’re trying to head in the right direction,” she said. “I think working on the common core standards ( azed.gov/standards-practices/common-core-state-standards/ ) will help lead the way,” she said. “I think

it’s an exciting time to come into the teaching profession. They’re making changes for the better. I’m seeing so many great things coming down the pike. When I was starting it was pretty status quo. There weren’t many new ideas being incorporated. Now, there are a lot of possibilities. It’s exciting.”

When it came to advice for younger teachers Morew said she has a few offerings.

“Be positive,” she said. “Be excited about being a life-long learner and just do your best. Being with kids is wonderful. You learn so much from them. It’s a wonderful feeling to see them grow.”

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills Focus Rose Morew started her teaching career in 1981. She is now in her seventh year at Diamond Canyon in Anthem where she teaches sixth grade.

Anthem residents and brain scientists at St. Joseph’s Barrow Neurological Institute, Susana Martinez-Conde, PhD and Stephen Macknik, PhD will welcome Las Vegas to Phoenix for a rare star-studded event that mixes the world’s greatest magic with the mysterious science of the brain.

On Sept. 17, Macknik and Martinez-Conde will take the stage along with internationally renowned magicians Mac King and the Amaz!ng Randi in an evening titled “Magic and the Brain.” Mac King, who headlines in Vegas at Harrah’s and the Amaz!ng Randi, who is the world’s Elder Statesman of Magic, will perform as the researchers try to explain the unexplainable – the human brain.

For almost eight years, Martinez-Conde and Macknik have lived in Anthem and been leaders in unorthodox research at St. Joseph’s Barrow that uses the art of magic to help the medical world understand the brain. As Harvard-trained visual neuroscience researchers, the husband and

wife team have spent much of their careers exploring the link between what we see and what we actually comprehend.

As part of their Neuromagic research, Macknik and Martinez-Conde travel to Vegas regularly to meet with some of the world’s greatest illusionists including, Penn and Teller. In addition, a number of top magicians have traveled from around the world to Barrow laboratories to help.

The study of magic not only pertains to how and why people are fooled during magic shows, Martinez-Conde says, but also has applications in medical treatments. “We are excited about how our research could lead to medical advances that help patients with cognitive decline, and also in the field of education,” she said. “If we can learn how to manipulate cognition and take advantage of the cognitive abilities people still have, we can improve their quality of life.”

As Macknik noted, while most magicians realize that they are fooling their audiences, many probably have no idea how their magic tricks specifically affect the way the

brain works. “Many magicians are just as excited about this research as we are,” he said.

The active Anthem couple also participates with their children in tae kwon do at the ATA dojo in Anthem and enjoys community events at the Anthem Outlets and Anthem Community Center. Martinez-Conde and Macknik, who have co-authored a book, titled “Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals About Our Everyday Deceptions” and spoken about their research on NOVA, the Discovery Channel and CBS Sunday Morning, say they are excited to bring an event of this caliber to the Valley.

The Sept. 17 charity event at Phoenix Theater will showcase the unusual partnership between scientists at St. Joseph’s Barrow and magicians who have traveled to the Institute to help medical researchers better understand the way the brain functions and how it is tricked.

The event will benefit the Barrow Foundation. For ticket information visit Barrow50.org or call the Barrow Foundation at 602-406-3041.

MONTE yAZZIESPECIAL FOR

THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS

Novelist Robert Ludlum created Jason Bourne, the amnesia suffering government designed super soldier, who was portrayed in three successful films by Matt Damon. The Bourne Legacy is a reboot of the series that attempts to transition the story forward minus the Jason Bourne character. Although a daring move, it’s also places the franchise and

subsequent fans in a precarious position of acceptance. The Bourne Legacy offers some ingenious moments of action; however it also crafts a lengthy and needlessly intricate narrative that keeps the film from adding up cohesively.

The film begins with an introduction to a stoic man trudging across an icy mountain range; along the expedition he takes blood samples, fights off a pack of wolves, and pops a set of pills, one blue and one green. This is Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), an agent the likes of Jason Bourne but with greater physical abilities.

This film is happening during the final act of The Bourne Ultimatum; Jason Bourne is a wanted man and the C.I.A., headed by Eric Byer (Edward Norton), is none to happy with their secret weapon causing so

much chaos. Bourne’s mayhem forces the action of the C.I.A. to shut the program down on all levels, which puts the life of Agent Cross in immediate jeopardy.

After evading a few attempts on his life, Agent Cross must now deal with the dwindling amount of pills that help him keep his superb abilities. This leads Agent Cross to Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), a scientist who has conducted medical examinations on him in the past, in hopes of restocking his supply. Shearing is also a target of elimination because of her association with the project, however she narrowly escapes an attempt on her life with some assistance from Cross. This leads Cross and Shearing on a journey across the globe in hope of an answer.

Director Tony Gilroy, who also co-wrote all the films, helms this film differently from the previous directors. Gilroy spends a wealth of time with the setup and less on the mechanisms of action. This normally wouldn’t be a bad thing but the setup is full of scientific meandering and Jason Bourne exposition which isn’t quite necessary for the film much less the introduction of a new character. Also, where Bourne’s amnesia offered narrative devices that assisted

the compelling mystery of Bourne’s identity and past, the Aaron Cross character is aware of everything and, though his character is suppose to remain mysterious in some regard, there are only a few attempts to offer insight into the emotional aspects of his turmoil.

Still, Jeremy Renner is an accomplished actor and exhibits good control during much of the film, especially during the action scenes. Rachel Wiesz is also good, most notably as she sheds the fear of danger and transitions to the confidence of survival; her portrayal is subtle enough for the shift to feel natural instead of forced. Edward Norton has played the ego driven hand of power before, but he does it so well it’s always interesting to see what kind of twist he puts on the character. The cinematography is also good, offering environment filling wide angles and inventive perspectives during chase and fight scenes.

The Bourne Legacy attempts to keep the franchise rolling with a forced finale, which unfortunately sours an otherwise exciting chase scene. However, though the film falters at times from a narrative standpoint, it also endures just enough by employing elements Bourne fans have come to expect.

Mayor David Schwan started the discussion by wishing good health to Van Allen, who cited health concerns in stepping down.

From there he detailed an approach to finding a replacement to complete Van Allen’s term, which runs until May, 2013.

Schwan proposed anyone interested in joining the council submit a one-page letter explaining why they thought they would be a good council member.

Carefree residents interested are asked to submit their letters to town clerk Betsy Wise in person or by email at [email protected] by 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 24.

Councilman Marty Saltzman asked if there were rules as to how a vacant spot on the council should be filled.

Town Attorney Michael Wright said the town code is vague on the issue, “The council shall fill by appointment for the unexpired term any vacancy that may occur

for whatever reason.”

By a 5-0 margin the council

voted to approve Schwan’s

suggested format for selecting

Van Allen’s replacement.

If more than three citizens

express interest, three members

of council will interview

all interested parties and

recommend three citizens to the

entire council, which will vote

to appoint a resident to fill the

void at its next meeting, set for 5

p.m., Sept. 18.

opinions and letters

The presidential campaign made a stop this week in Sherwood Forest, as President Obama has declared his opponent, Mitt Romney, “Romney Hood,” a play on the Robin Hood legend.

The president is contending that Romney wants to take money from working Americans

t h r o u g h t a x a t i o n and give it to people like D o n a l d T r u m p . Of course, that’s the

opposite of what the British brigand Robin did. He stole from the rich and gave the loot to the poor. Far be it from me to accuse the president of doing that, but others have.

Robin Hood’s persona began taking shape in 14th-century English ballads in which the woodsman clashed with the

corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham. Over the years, the songs became more elaborate, and characters like Maid Marian and Friar Tuck came into being. Then, in the 20th century, dashing actors such as Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn immortalized Robin. There was even a TV show starring a guy named Richard Greene who, appropriately, wore green tights.

By the way, no one knows whether Robin Hood ever actually existed, but we are pretty sure Romney and Obama do.

The president is basing his Romney Hood label on analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a liberal-leaning think tank. It says that Romney’s proposed tax plan would raise income taxes on the middle class by $2,000 on average, and that Trump and his cronies would get that money in the form of tax cuts for them.

The Wall Street Journal editorial page, a conservative

crew, analyzed the TPC’s take and put forth: “It’s a highly ideological tract based upon false assumptions, incomplete data and dishonest analysis. In other words, it is custom made for the Obama campaign.”

More ale, Friar Tuck?But really, who cares?

Certainly not Obama. His entire campaign is now based on convincing voters that Romney is, indeed, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Henry the VIII and Louis the XIV all rolled into one.

So don’t be surprised to see the president sporting green tights and a hat with a feather when he campaigns in San Francisco where outfits like that are readily available.

As a 1 percenter, I would feel mighty bad if my mailman were forced to subsidize my lifestyle. It just doesn’t seem right. I’ve been lucky in my career and have done well. I really don’t want some guy working

at Taco Bell contributing to my electric bill.

So if Romney is really considering taking money from the folks and giving it to Warren Buffett, I hope he will reconsider. This is not the way America should work. In this country, we are supposed to work hard and render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. That rendering is now becoming quite extensive and complicated. With all the campaign rhetoric and spin, it’s not easy to know for sure

who’s really Robin.

Boys in the Hood

Traffic jam appears on the low road

O’REILLy

To the elected public executive running for re-election — whether mayor, governor or president — there remain just two alternative campaign strategies to victory: the High Road or the Low Road.

T h e High Road case for re-election goes like this: Look at all we have done t o g e t h e r in our

first term. Because of my policies and leadership, our people are more prosperous, our community is more united, and, not coincidentally, Sunday school attendance is at an all-time high.

When instead unpleasant reality intrudes and there are no bows to be taken for a long list of widely acclaimed successes, the endangered incumbent

candidate resorts more often to the Low Road route to re-election. This can be prefaced with a frank admission: Look, I admit that things have not always worked out the way you and I had planned. But the Other Guy, my election opponent, is the sort of wretch who would foreclose on the Little Sisters of the Poor and get his kicks from sticking bamboo shoots under the fingernails of widows and orphans. He must be stopped!

In case you have been in a cave or in solitary for the past couple of months, the 2012 campaign is now officially a traffic jam on the Low Road.

The campaign of our last re-elected president, Republican George W. Bush, outsourced its 2004 Low Road job to a mendacious band of deep-pocketed hit men who smeared the Silver Star-worthy courage-in-Vietnam combat

of Democrat John Kerry. The fraud of contemporary national campaigns is that these so-called “independent” political action committees (PACs) organized to support a candidate are anything less than an indirectly controlled subsidiary of the candidate’s own campaign.

We saw that dramatically and disgustingly this past week when Priorities USA Action, a PAC backing President Obama and headed by Bill Burton, former White House spokesman and Obama 2008 campaign operative, suggested in a TV commercial that Mitt Romney contributed to the 2006 death from cancer of Ranae Soptic, whose husband, Joe, had lost his job and health benefits in 2001 when Romney’s company Bain Capital closed down GST Steel where Joe Soptic had been employed.

The disgust to this slur was both immediate and intense. Obama

campaign officials spent hours denying any control or influence over the “independent” PAC or familiarity with the Soptic family (“we don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family”) even though, just two months earlier, the Obama campaign itself had organized a conference call for reporters featuring former steelworker Joe Soptic testifying how Romney’s Bain Capital had, for a quick-buck profit, callously robbed him and his co-workers of their livelihoods and their pensions.

This is a long way from the hope and idealism of the 2008 Obama crusade that inspired millions. Four years later, disappointment is widespread even though up to now there appears to be more disaffection than defection.

Romney is no blameless victim. Personally and intensely disliked by practically every Republican who has ever run against him, he can be careless with the truth: charging, for example,

that Obama has opened up “no new trade relations” with other countries in spite of the obvious facts that Obama, over the opposition of many Democrats, negotiated and won ratification of separate trade treaties with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. Still, such offenses cannot be compared to accusations of contributing to a cancer victim’s death.

The ultimate cost of the Low Road campaign is more than a dispirited and even disillusioned electorate, which it all but guarantees. The real problem is that when the down-and-dirty campaign is over, there has been no agreement reached between the voters and the leaders about what we must now do together as a nation. The only agreement reached is that the Other Guy, who lost, was somehow just worse. Precious little hope there.
