NEW RIVER – The Maricopa Department of Transportation is asking for local residents’ input on the Transportation System Plan, which will outline the vision of the county transporta-tion system for the next 20 years. A meeting will be held at New River Elementary School, 48827 N. Black Canyon Highway, on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 5-7 p.m., to discuss the future of transporta-tion in the county. Additional transportation plan meetings will be held throughout the valley. The Maricopa County Trans-portation System Plan is a long-range outline of the planning and construction of facilities through the year 2035. This plan was last updated in 2007. Mari-copa County has experienced significant growth since then and now has a population of about four million people. The county is expected to grow even further; growth projections predict that Maricopa County will be home to over 6.4 million residents by 2035. Maricopa County Department of Transportation planning of-ficials are working to identify the roadway needs in unincorporated areas of the county, such as New River and Anthem, east of the I-17. For more information on the Transportation System Plan, see www.mcdot.maricopa.gov.

CAVE CREEK – The town of Cave Creek is holding a special mail-in election in March, with ballots being sent out to Cave Creek residents in mid-February. The Foothills Focus is profil-ing candidates to give them the opportunity to share their views on what they can bring to Cave Creek’s Council. The special election is the product of a recall on four cur-rent council members. In this special election, each current council member is running against a specific individual.

PHOENIX – ProMusica Arizona has been awarded a $5,000 grant from Art Tank, a competition sponsored by the Arizona Commission on the Arts. The grant was presented on Jan. 12. Presenting along with seven other arts organizations, PMAZ made the case for a new way to engage audi-ences and create interest in classical music. “This grant will allow us to market more effectively to our target audi-ence through the media channels they use to get their information,” said PMAZ Executive Director Yvonne Dolby. PMAZ Artistic Director Adam Stich guided the presentation to Art Tank judges and shared the thought processes behind the innovative audi-ence-driven classical music concert. Stich said, “Inspired by children’s ‘choose your own adventure books,’ the story of The Unpredictable Adventures of Henry Hicklebee uses music and monologue to assist Henry on his journey of self-discovery, and the audience votes to direct his path.” The Arizona Art Tank’s byline is “Not business as usual, business unusual” – and this concert garnered support based on its unusual but

progressive approach to offering great music and audience involvement as demonstrated during the presenta-tion. As Henry (portrayed by Matt Newhard) tried to track down his past and uncover his identity, the Art Tank panel and audience used cell phones to text his next move. Would he go to Russia? Spain? Votes were cast in favor of Spain as the country and music of the next adventure….and in favor of PMAZ for a first-time Art Tank grant. Director Stich confirms, “Classical music is still relevant in today’s high tech world. We just need to change the way we connect with audiences. By telling a story through the music and involving the audience in the outcome, we hope to attract interest in a genre that has seen declining at-tendance in recent years.” The Unpredictable Adventures of Henry Hicklebee concert will be held at Camelback Bible Church, April 18, 7:30 p.m. and April 19, 4 p.m. Tick-ets are available at www.pmaz.org, by calling (623) 326-5172, and at the door. Prices are adults $20, seniors (60 years+) $17.50 and students $12 (18 years and under).

Herbert P. Kauhl, age 86, died Jan. 14 at his home near State College, PA. Raised in Fairmount, NY, he met his future wife Dorothy Softley of Ne-braska, while serving in the Army in Germany. They were married in 1953 and have two daughters. Herb received a Bachelor’s degree from Maryville (TN) College and a Master of Divinity degree from Princ-eton (NJ) Theological Seminary. He served Presbyterian churches in Morris Plains, NJ and Waynesboro, PA. After earning a Master’s degree in Regional Planning from Penn State in 1972, he was on the staff of the Centre Regional Planning Commission until his retire-ment. From 1990 until spring of 2011, he and Dorothy wintered in Carefree, AZ. They were active first at Desert Hills and then Pinnacle Presbyterian churches. A memorial service will be held at the State College Presbyterian Church on Feb. 1.

Letters to the EditorDear Friends & Neighbors,In 2013, for the first time in over a decade, there were more than four candidates without special allegiances or personal agendas vying for seats on Cave Creek’s Council. This meant that the community finally had the chance to elect a new independent majority. The citizens of Cave Creek seized that opportunity. During the 2013 campaign, myself and the other independent candidates includ-ing Spitzer, Monachino, and Durkin, pledged to deliver fiscal responsibility and transparency to government operations, work to preserve the rural character of the Town, and support local businesses to bolster the Town’s tax base. Because we shared a vision, we were branded a “Slate.” Before we took office those who opposed our election promised a “re-do election,” demonstrating their disdain for the democratic process. Once sworn in, we got to work deliver-ing on the pledges we made. Although the work is not done we continue to make strides to secure Cave Creek’s future. We have not borrowed a dollar, worked tirelessly to correct our infrastructure’s deferred maintenance issues, grown the town’s cash reserves, and made govern-ment more accessible. Our record stands in stark contrast to the previous administrations’ who (a) borrowed tens of millions of dollars to acquire and over build infrastructure without ensuring its proper maintenance, (b) never proposed policies to protect Cave Creek from evolving urban sprawl pressures, and (c) failed to hold the town manager responsible for acting outside the scope of his authority. Now two of those former Council members stand as chal-lengers in this recall. Despite a record of performance, the Town must divert resources to conduct a baseless recall brought on by those who don’t respect the public’s 2013 vote, make outlandish claims to delegitimize this Council, and who have a demonstrable record of malfeasance. If they disrespect your vote now, why would they serve your needs should they get seated? With your help, the recall will not suc-ceed. With your vote I promise to keep Cave Creek moving forward. Thank you for your continued confidence. Please visit www.AdamTrenk.com for more information.

The PuppetsAs you may know a recall election is scheduled for March 10, 2015. A recall election is a mechanism to remove an official from office before the end of his/her term, when the elected official is guilty of some legal or ethical wrong. Evidence of such conduct is nonexistent. The petitions claim that I am “fiscally irresponsible”, I lack “transparency” and in the vaguest of allegations, I “misrep-resented” myself. Yet the drumbeat for recall in the press began even before I was elected. That tells the voters the recall effort is not about the issues but rather the venomous tirades of sore losers who want to reinstate the good ole boy arrangement with their instigator as the puppet master pulling the strings. During the past year and a half, I and the current Council have delivered on promises made during the campaign of 2013. Upon taking office this new Coun-cil acted swiftly to replace the Town’s management. We streamlined municipal operations, identified and repaired numerous prob-lems with our water and waste water in-frastructure caused by the neglect of pre-vious management and drafted a budget for the next fiscal year with a dramatic $1,000,000.00 reduction in expenditures. The result is the most efficient and open administration in the Town’s history by any objective measure. This reform occurred despite relent-less personal attacks, false outrage, and lawsuits drummed up by our opposition to justify a toxic “re-do” recall election effort. In 2013, with the greatest number of votes cast in municipal history, the Cave Creek electorate mandated new leader-ship. Now the instigator wants back in power. If his puppets are elected, can you see the hands of the clock turning back to the good old days? Cave Creek deserves better. I would appreciate your vote. You may reach me at 480-200-3913 or [email protected].

Not a Fan of AnthemI read about all the great things going on in Anthem, and the people that live in the community. But after living in Anthem for 1.5 years, I cannot adhere to the positive thoughts of Anthem. I live in Villages at Anthem. It has been the worst experience in dealing with inconsiderate neighbors, in doing what-ever they want, when they want with total disregard to everyone. I have lived in 7 dif-ferent states and moved 17 times, the past 25 years. I have NEVER experienced anything like what I have in Anthem. I assumed Anthem, a far northern suburb would be a considerate, quiet and com-fortable community, like the community of Gilbert. The suburb I lived in, before moving to Anthem. WRONG!!! One of the local realtors told me, the Condo community was very quiet and Anthem is a nice place to live. I unfortunately made the mistake in believing her. The word TRUST, was flushed down the toilet!!! I have had a few people asking me about Anthem. My question back them is, if you do not care about anything, anyone, your neighbors, and you are going to do whatever you want, when you want, and to hell with everyone around you, or when I ask my neighbor to be considerate when he is revving his 3 wheeler at 10:00 pm on a week night, and his response is “**** you,” then move to Anthem. If you do not fit this model, RUN immediately away from Anthem. The reason for the email, is I do not want other people to make the same mis-take as I did.

Respectfully,

James Jacob

Note to ThievesJust a short note to thank those responsible for breaking into my car last Saturday night, and helping themselves to most of my personal belongings. I’ve been home-less and jobless for the past two years, travelling across the country, and looking for work, so the car contents had a lot work and personal items inside, which I am sure they can put to good use. Thank you for showing me what kind of commu-nity Anthem is. It was partially my fault, of course; I left my car unlocked on the driveway. I came to Anthem because it was “up north”, and quiet; I hadn’t quite got my things into my home, but I hadn’t figured on this (or anything quite like it) happen-ing. Their actions that night tells me I don’t want to live in a community where this type of activity occurs; I won’t live with bars on the windows, or a huge gate across the front door. I want to be able sleep with a window cracked open at night. Alas, it seems that I cannot do that here in Anthem. It’s been a great (but short ride); this house will shortly be going on the market; I’ll continue my quest, and maybe even return to Colorado.

Regards,

Christopher R. Green

There is a moment in Daniel Barnz’s film “Cake” when the lead character stares at a blank wall where a significant picture once hung. The grief on the character’s scarred face is visible, displaying the effect of time with wounds both physical and emotional. Jennifer Aniston plays Claire, a woman who was in a car accident and is struggling with constant pain amongst other upsetting issues from the past.

Aniston is quite good in the lead role, bringing a perfor-mance that holds the otherwise predictable and over-sentimen-tal story together. Claire is introduced in a group therapy session for people dealing with chronic pain. A large poster of a young woman named Nina (Anna Kendrick) sits on a chair in the front of the room. Nina recent-ly committed suicide and the group is sharing their thoughts

and feelings in a discussion. The question “Will you forgive me?” is asked by the group counselor (Felicity Huffman), referenced as if Nina were asking the group. Claire, biting her tongue long enough, is asked how she is feeling about the situation. A scathing and offensive response is given and Claire is kicked out of the group. This mask of aggression coincides with the pain that is controlling Claire’s life. The narrative moves ever familiar from one transition to another. Claire begins in a very bad place, searching for pain medication hidden through-

out her expensive, memory-shadowed home and yelling at her physical therapist who is clearly tired of hearing the same excuses from her. Then Claire begins to pick herself up with the assistance of her sympathetic maid, played by an exceptional Adriana Bar-raza, and begins to confront the ghosts of her past and present. The rest of the jour-ney is as foreseeable as they come. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with a film that indulges in these simplicities, there are moments where the film touches on some very in-teresting aspects of the healing process, specifically the people that help you along the way. Adriana Barraza plays Silvana, a character that accepts Claire with all her faults regardless of how ter-ribly Claire treats her. Silvana knows all the personal details of Claire’s past, even handling the grieving process in her own way by helping Claire with-out question. In one excellent scene, Silvana’s own daughter questions why she puts up with

Claire. The response from Silvana is simple yet somehow still complicated, exposing more than any other scene, the character of Claire through the changed relationship expe-rienced by Silvana. It’s un-fortunate that these insightful scenes are overlooked, instead replaced with situations that offer nothing more than move-ment from scene to scene. Jennifer Aniston is given the opportunity to showcase her talent. The portrayal of Claire is more than just grimaces and guarded motions; Aniston ventures to make more of the character than what is on the surface. And for the most part she succeeds. It’s unfortunate that other characters, ones that could have offered more for Aniston to work against, were terribly underwritten. “Cake,” at the focus, attempts to examine the process of grief. While Jennifer Aniston offers an exceptional performance, the narrative doesn’t offer more to make the healing journey more compelling and meaningful.

CAVE CREEK- Local painter and sculptor Valentine is a master of expressing the feminine spirit in his work. The creation of his renowned “Ladies Series” began in 1991 while painting contempo-rary southwest landscapes at his Prescott studio. Near the window was a collection of potted calla lil-ies, their quiet beauty and elegant form inspired him to explore

their enduring essence in his art. Thirty years later, the “Ladies” spirit has become Valentine’s unique trademark. Valentine’s journey in creativ-ity began during his childhood years growing up just outside of Detroit. He made his way to Ari-zona via New Mexico as an art teacher and a sports coach, at the New Mexico School for the Deaf, in Santa Fe. It was in Santa Fe his own southwest artwork was “dis-covered” by a local frame shop

owner. Valentine’s professional career as an artist was launched with his first one-artist show at the prestigious El Taller Gallery on Valentine’s Day 1984. A few years later, he chose Prescott as his first Arizona home. In the mid 1990s, he established himself as a resident of Cave Creek, presently working out of his home studio in the shadow of the Tonto National Forest. Valentine is known for his limitless use of materials and tire-less exploration of technique in both his painting and sculptures. Currently, he is working on a new technique that requires the inlaying of special glass into a metal background. This provides a working format for his new “collage images.” Valentine’s up-coming studio show will include his newest series of collage im-ages, as well as his mixed media collection of metal, glass, acryl-ics, bronze, composite materials, diamonds, and gemstones of his “Ladies” series. Both promise to captivate and intrigue the art lover’s sense of adventure in form. Valentine is celebrating his 31st anniversary, as a full time artist, with a “collectors’ only” recep-tion, on Saturday, Feb. 14 and Sunday, Feb. 15. For the first time, Valentine is inviting the public to join him from 4-6 p.m., both days. See an expanded collection of Valentine’s work and obtain the location of his studio by visiting his Web site at www.Valentine-Collections.com or contact him at [email protected]. See Valentine at Arizona Fine Art Expo (26540 N. Scott-sdale Road in Scottsdale), Jan. 16-March 29, 2015, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Contact arts columnist Shea Stanfield at [email protected].

Are you ready? The Big Game is this coming Sunday, hosted by our beautiful, great State so that over 110 million people watch-ing it on the television can see what good weather looks like. You don’t have to be a fan of football to love the Super Bowl. It is all show, with the possibil-ity of actually being a pretty good game. Just look at the match-up between the Packers and the Seahawks. Cheeseheads were popping open the cham-pagne with a 16 to 0 lead in the third quarter, when something miraculous happened. The Seahawks woke up! Rumor has it that the coach stopped giving the team Gatorade, handed the quarterback a cup of Starbucks, and told him to “Go win this thing.” Oh yea, those folks in Seattle love their java. Every team in the NFL that has ever played in Seattle has complained bitterly about the noise. Seems that it is the loud-est arena in the country and the opposing team cannot hear their own calls, much less their own thoughts. Engineers have weighed in on why this place is so loud, but I think I know the answer. Put about 67,000 people together in a stadium who have each had five cups of coffee (that is what the average person in Seattle drinks every day!) and you have a hyped-up, caffeine-crazed crowd of screamers! Well, how is that going to “play out” when the Seahawks face the Patriots? No coffee guzzlers in Phoenix to help them out! But wait, what about those deflated Patriot footballs? Hey,

when eleven out of the twelve Patriot’s balls happen to be about two to three pounds lighter than regulation, isn’t that cheating? Shouldn’t there be a consequence? Uh oh. Now the emails will be flying my way. Well, I just know if you cheat on a test at school, you can get suspended. If you cheat on your taxes, the IRS gets sort of upset. How exactly did this “Deflate-gate” happen? An underinflated ball is easier to throw, catch, and handle. Seems odd that eleven Patriot “flat balls” go unchecked. Espe-cially since the NFL regulates everything from what color shoes a player can wear, to if he can do a happy dance and gyrate in the end zone after a touchdown. So where were the officials who handle the balls in between plays? It took an intercepted pass by a Colt to say, “Hey, this ball is deflated.” Okay, so maybe the outcome of the game wouldn’t have changed…but the whole drama does “deflate” the spirit of good sportsmanship. Let’s not worry about two teams and pigskins. Super Bowl Sunday has a lot more to offer. There are always the commer-cials (which cost about 4 million bucks for 30 seconds) to keep us entertained if the games goes “flat.” And if things are really boring, there will be a glitzy and wild half-time show. Oh, and let’s not forget the food! There are 1.25 billion chicken wings that Americans will be consuming this Sunday. That’s right…an astounding 1.25 bil-lion wings will be fried, served and gobbled up by hungry fans. We may be a nation divided on

Around the Bluhmin’ Town: Super Bowl politics and team favorites, but we are a nation united when it comes to our chicken wings. Hold the Starbucks, inflate the footballs and let the best wing win! I still have a block of Velveeta cheese that I bought last year when there was suppose to be a Velveeta shortage. I guess it is not really cheese, because it has a shelf life of fifty years. Maybe I will melt it and make a perfect dip. My girlfriend is a doctor and says I might as well put cement in my arteries because that “yellow stuff” is a future heart attack. What is my doctor friend serving her guests? Cof-fee (in honor of Seattle), and clam chowder (for New Eng-land). Yuck! Sorry, but Game Day without a cheese dip would be a Cheesepocalypse! You see, right after wings, a bowl of chips and melted cheese dip is what Americans like to munch on Super Bowl Sunday. Too bad our Cardinals didn’t make it to the Big Day, but we won’t let that fact “deflate” this Sunday’s game. If we are lucky, we will have the chance to wit-ness greatness . . . a ball thrown with precision and caught by a running back on the fly, or a receiver who against all odds is able to jump, run and dash to the end zone. And no matter what – we can eat wings, drink a beer, and enjoy the spectacle. Game on! Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local realtor who lives in the Anthem area. Have a story or a comment?

Seahawks feel at home in Valley, at University of Phoenix Stadium

Nick Krueger Cronkite News

Familiarity.It’s a comfortable feeling. Been there. Done that. Just ask the Seattle Seahawks, who are revisiting old stomping grounds at the University of Phoenix Stadium.The stadium will host Super Bowl XLIX Sunday, but during the regular season it’s the home field of the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks travel to Glen-dale once a year to matchup with Arizona in an NFC West showdown and they think the familiar territory will give them a leg up over the New England Patriots.“I’m big on visualization and seeing the stadium, knowing where the play clock is,” said Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. “I think it gives you a little bit of an advantage to me personally and mentally throughout the week.”The Seahawks are 2-1 at the stadium since Wilson took over under center, losing the 2012 game in Glendale but win-ning the past two contests by a combined score of 69-28. It’s not just knowing the Valley roads or the arid heat, even the intricacies of the stadium make a difference.“I guess it’s a very infinitesimal advantage,” said Seahawks cor-ner Richard Sherman. “We’re more familiar with the stadium, the looks, the lights, the layout,

the locker room.”Seattle is 2-2 in Glendale since Sherman joined the NFL in 2011 but even before that he played for the Stanford Car-dinals and made trips to the Valley to play against ASU in Sun Devil Stadium. Corner-back Earl Thomas also drew on his college experience. He played at University of Phoe-nix Stadium in 2009 as a Texas Longhorn against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. His Texas team won that game, 24-21.“Every time we play here, I love this stadium,” Thomas said. “This is kind of like a home game to me.’’However, defensive end Mi-chael Bennett doesn’t think there is anything gained by playing in a more familiar place.“There’s no competitive advan-tage because we’re playing a whole different team, a whole different organization,” Ben-nett said. “It’s a different team with a different mindset; it doesn’t give us an edge.”The Seahawks’ recent success has rubbed Cardinals fans the wrong way. When introduced at the Pro Bowl Sunday night, Seahawks players received a loud chorus of boos from fans inside the stadium.The confines may not have felt friendly then, but Feb. 1 knowl-edge of where they’re play-ing could make the difference between losing and hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the second straight season.“It does feel familiar to us. Our players have commented on that as well. We feel comfort-able coming here. We know what it feels like,” said Pete Carroll, who is 3-2 in Glendale as the Seahawks’ head coach and 4-0 at Sun Devil Stadium against ASU.“There is a sense of comfort, maybe more so than some other places we haven’t been in the past, and we’re happy we’re here to play.”While the Seahawks make an annual trip, the Patriots haven’t played in Glendale since their appearance in Super Bowl XLII against the New York Giants. That was the Super Bowl that spoiled the Patriots’ perfect season.

Cave Creek election candidate profiles

Susan Clancy is a 30-year resident of Cave Creek. A former member of the Cave Creek Unified School District’s Governing Board, she is run-ning against Adam Trenk for Trenk’s seat on the Cave Creek Town Council. “A school governing board is extremely similar to the type of town management set up in the town of Cave Creek,” Clancy said. “The town manager is sort of your su-perintendent.” She described the shared work of a school superintendent and governing board as similar to the work of a town manager and Coun-cil. She feels that her 16-year background with the govern-ing board and her business and sales background give her necessary experience for serv-ing on the Council. Clancy has been an active part of the current recall effort that produced the upcom-

ing mail-in election. She was also chairman of Cave Creek Caring Citizens, the organiza-tion that filed a recall petition last year. That recall petition failed after it was challenged in court due to certain signatures that were deemed invalid by a Maricopa County Superior Court judge. Clancy noted that, while she had actively collected recall petition signatures, it “was not an automatic” for her to run. “I had not heard of anybody thinking of it (running in the election),” Clancy said, add-ing that she was thinking that after the effort to bring about the recall, she was surprised at the initial lack of response, although others did eventually file to run. “Some of the folks in town approached me about running for Council,” Clancy said, add-ing that people told her years ago when she was considering

running again for the CCUSD governing board that “you ask a lot of questions and you represent us.” When asked why she felt the recall was necessary, Clancy replied, “I’m going to stay away from that at this point.” She added that she felt that the “health, safety, and welfare of the town was being under-mined” but did not elaborate further. While Clancy has received public support from the back-ers of the recall effort, she says she is running as “very much an independent.” “I’m not part of a slate,” Clancy said, saying that she has “thanked them for their support but wanted to make sure they understood.” “People come to me,” Clancy said, using road maintenance as an example. “You can’t see the lines (on Cave Creek roads). That’s dangerous. They

need to be fixed. But they haven’t been.” She noted that, in her opinion, the Council was “not staying on top of this.” If elected, Clancy said she plans to hold a town hall meet-ing that will be open to the public to “begin to listen and put up on a board those areas of concern” and afterwards, “trying to develop a strategic

Cave Creek Vice Mayor Adam Trenk is in his second term with the Cave Creek Council. Trenk was first elected to the Council in 2009; he chose not to seek reelection in 2011. He began his

current term in 2013. “I’ve been an active member of this community for the last seven years,” Trenk said, noting his work with the fire committee and Cave Creek – Carefree Chamber

of Commerce. “I’ve been paying attention to the way this com-munity operates for 25 percent of my life.” Trenk values the unique atmosphere of Cave Creek; he describes himself as a “lifelong horseman.” “It was a deliberate effort on my part to move to Cave Creek once I found this place,” Trenk emphasized. “I want to see it maintain its integrity as a rural environment.” Trenk cited actions he feels are vital to “keep Cave Creek moving forward,” several of which deal with preserving the natural settings of Cave Creek, such as improving pedestrian and equestrian connectivity and securing open space adjoining the town. As a land use, zoning, and public policy attorney, Trenk feels his experience is well suited to governance of Cave Creek.

While Trenk was elected to his current term with the Council with the highest percentage of votes of the candidates who ran, his term has been a consistently rocky one. Talk of a recall began shortly after the 2013 election. A failed recall attempt that was dismissed due to a lack of veri-fied signatures has already taken place. The mail-in election is the product of the second recall ef-fort; four of the current Council members are being recalled. Trenk is facing opponent Susan Clancy in the March special election. According to Trenk, the groups supporting the recall have little to say about his policies – “Noth-ing from opposition beyond just recalling,” he said. Trenk noted that while he “didn’t expect the recall,” it was “threatened imme-diately” after the election. Asked about his feelings on the recall, Trenk said that he does not allow it to impact his work and that he focuses on the “com-munity as a whole.” Trenk discussed Cave Creek’s budget, specifically noting that

in past years, the town had “built out a tremendous wastewater system,” which he says was not operated and maintained properly. He described a “$5 million expenditure” that “went down in the first week.” Accord-ing to Trenk, the current Council members are now working to fix and budget for these issues that occurred before they took office. One of Trenk’s goals if reelect-ed is to “establish management benchmarks” that will “manage our performance, understand what is causing delays, and seek to operate more efficiently,” he explained. Trenk supports the current Council, saying he “absolutely would like to see the Council keep their seats” and calling it a “dark day if even one loses the recall election.” “Let’s put this recall in our rearview mirror,” Trenk said. “Let’s keep Cave Creek moving forward.” To contact Adam Trenk or see more about his policies, visit www.AdamTrenk.com.

plan.” “Cave Creek sits on a preci-pice of change,” Clancy said. “People have ideas. I’m willing to hear them.” Susan Clancy does not have a campaign Web site. She can be contacted at (480) 488-2986.


CAVE CREEK – Olive oil is a staple ingredient in everything from salad dressings to pasta sauces. Quality olive oil as an ingredient can take a meal from good to great. The Cave Creek Olive Oil Company, which opened last June, sells olive oil, along with balsamic vinegar, pasta, local honey, salsa, and other food-stuffs. “Our olive oil comes from all over the world – northern and southern hemisphere,” said Martha Bates, who co-owns Cave Creek Olive Oil with her husband Rich. “We get it wherever they’re pressing freshest.” The Bates bring 20 years of food and restaurant experience into the store. “My wife and I moved here a year ago from Prescott,” said Rich Bates, noting that they were operating partners in a restaurant there. “Martha worked for an olive oil compa-ny in Prescott. With our food background, it was a natural fit when we decided to make the move to come down here and do something like this.” Olive oil is a popular prod-

uct in the store, but balsamic vinegar is the top seller. “Our best-selling product in the whole store is the tradition-al 18-year balsamic vinegar,” Martha noted. “It goes with anything and has a wonderful flavor all its own.” “All of our balsamics come from northern Italy,” Rich said. “That’s where the Treb-biano grape is from.” Rich added that aging improves the flavor of the vinegar. “On the balsamic generally, the older the better.” Cave Creek Olive Oil also sells products made with olive oil, including lotions and candles. “ We have a lot besides the oil and vinegar. We’re looking to expand to jams and jellies and maybe more lotions and some other food products,” Martha noted. “ We have different products and new ideas coming really soon,” added Rich. The Cave Creek Olive Oil Company is located at 6201 E. Cave Creek Rd. See more about the store, as well as reci-pes, at www.cavecreekoliveoil.com.

She of course, soaks it all in! She is a bit shy at first but she warms up very quickly. This sweet little girl will make a wonderful com-panion and give you a lifetime of love and affection. Gabby has been spayed, vac-cinated, microchipped, and is ready for adoption. Please fill out the Cat Adoption Matchmaker Form at http://form.jotform.us/form/41676646153157.

ANTHEM – Tobias’ Automotive Spe-cialists has been part of the Anthem community since 2001. To start off the new year, they’re announcing new awards, services, and a new manager for the Anthem store. The store just received its sixth consecutive AAA Top Shop Award. Mike Still has been working with cars in one way or another for almost 40 years. Now, he’s channeling that experi-ence into management at the Tobias’

Pictured are Mike Still (left) and Andy Tobias (right). Still is the new manager of the Tobias Anthem store.

Automotive Specialists in Anthem, starting Feb. 2. “I really enjoy working with people,” Still said. He described his automotive background – everything from racing cars to repairing them, as well as his mechanical background. Still worked with several different shops, most recently managing a national franchise and frequently traveling for business. As a recent Desert Hills resident, Still wanted to work in the area and utilize his customer service experience in a

community business. “I’m looking forward to building some really strong relationships with our customers,” Still noted, saying he was ready to whatever was needed. “I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty,” he said with a smile. “Management is everything from HR to cleaning the toilets!” Tobias Auto, which offers basic to major automotive service, has been a community presence in Cave Creek for 26 years and Anthem for 15 years. Anthem resident Andy Tobias, who co-owns the stores with his wife Lou-ise, noted that they chose to open an Anthem store because they felt this was a place where they could become “part of the community.” He and Louise are actively involved in local business and charitable organizations, including We Care Anthem. Through The Society of

St. Vincent de Paul, they have provided automotive services to local families in need. Tobias described his shop as a “local, hometown place.” “We want to be here for everybody,” Tobias said, noting they have customers from as far away as Prescott. The store provides shuttle service, loaner cars, free flat tire and jumpstart services for stranded customers, and free towing if needed. The Anthem store is open Saturdays to accommodate customers who don’t have time to come in during the workweek. To see more about Tobias’ Automo-tive Specialists, visit www.tobiasauto.com, call (623) 551-7474, or stop in to the store, located at 4205 W Summit Walk Ct., just south of Anthem Way. Tobias Anthem hours are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. M-F, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays.
