Driver robbed after pulling off I-17 at Badger SpringsNORTH VALLEY –

Yavapai County Sheriff ’s Office detectives are seeking information on a robbery that happened on Friday morning. A driver who was having car trouble exited the southbound I-17 at Badger Springs Road (milepost 256). She has reported that after pulling over, she was knocked unconscious and robbed by an unknown assailant. Detectives are searching for witnesses to help apprehend the person(s) who injured and robbed this driver.

In a release sent out on March 11, YCSO noted that detectives were dispatched at 8:30 on Friday morning to respond to the scene of the robbery.

“The victim told detectives she

had been driving south on I-17 and pulled off at Badger Springs Road due to an unusual noise coming from her 2010 Silver Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan,” the release stated. “She drove into a turnout at the bottom of the off ramp and stopped. The next thing she remembers is waking up with a head injury and assumed she had been knocked unconscious. When she checked inside her vehicle, she found her backpack and laptop computer were missing. The victim did not recall seeing any suspicious persons or unusual activity when she initially came to a stop in the turnout.”

Transportation issues discussed at community association meeting

ELIZABETH MEDORASTAFF

NORTH VALLEY – The New River/Desert Hills Community Association is helping residents “connect the dots” when it comes to traffic issues. Representatives from the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, and the Phoenix Street Transportation Department presented information at the March 11 NR/DHCA ‘Connect the Dots’ meeting. Each official spoke about upcoming changes and growth and possible solutions to ongoing traffic problems.

ADOT Deputy Director for Transportation/State Engineer

Dallas Hammit noted that, as a Prescott Valley resident, he drives the 1-17 corridor at least three times a week. He reported that targeted safety corridors have “made a big difference.” ADOT is planning additional interactive informational signs on I-17 north of New River, and this project is expected

to be completed by next year. Repaving near Black Canyon City is on the agenda for later this summer. Hammit also said that in the next 5-10 years, a third lane on the I-17 will be built between Anthem and

Color Dash 5K to benefit Cave Creek Unified Education FoundationELIZABETH MEDORA

STAFFCAVE CREEK – Take part

in a school fundraiser like no other and support the schools of the Cave Creek Unified School District on Sunday, April 3 during a Color Dash 5K at Sonoran Trails Middle School. The Cave Creek Unified Education Foundation will be hosting the Color Dash to raise funds for the grants that CCUEF provides for teachers and programs in the Cave Creek district.

This is the first Color Dash that CCUEF has held. Already, the community has responded with enthusiasm; about 100 people have signed up for the

dash. CCUEF aims to sign up 500 people.

Color Dash owner/organizer Hamid Torabpour described the basics of the Color Dash: dashers register and receive a t-shirt, color pack, and race bib. At the beginning and end of the dash, participants get splashed with color, and every kilometer, a new color is splashed out.

“So when you’re done, you look like a Skittle!” Torabpour said.

Everyone is welcome to join in the dash. Participants don’t have to walk or run in the dash if they’d prefer not to; they can register specifically as not running but still come

out and support the Color Dash and get a color pack. Sponsors are also welcome. Sponsors can receive a vendor spot or multiple other benefits, including complementary race

registration. See details on signing up for the Color Dash or sponsorships at www.cd5k.com.

Local family to participate in 2016 Phoenix Heart Walk

PHOENIX – Cave Creek resident Shannon Dumar and her son Matthew Martin-Hoyland will join thousands of walkers on Saturday, March 19 for the American Heart Association’s 2016 Phoenix Heart Walk in downtown Phoenix. They will walk to celebrate Matthew’s life and show support for the many heart-related diseases in need of a cure.

Matthew looks like any regular 11-year-old boy today, but when he was born, doctors didn’t know if he would survive. Moments after his birth, Matthew’s heart rate skyrocketed to more than 250 beats per minute, forcing doctors to rush him

to Banner Desert Medical Center for emergency treatment.

“It was scary for the first couple days because I was at one hospital recovering from a C-section and he was at a completely different hospital fighting for his life,” Dumar said.

Matthew pulled through and was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia caused by Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a disorder which causes problems with the electrical systems of the heart. According to the Mayo Clinic, about four out of every 100,000 people are diagnosed with this condition. Shannon and her family soon settled into a routine which involved a rigorous

schedule of lifesaving medication, and Matthew thrived.

Along with Shannon, an APS Customer Care Center manager, and her family, more than 100 APS employees will also participate in the walk. APS has been a sponsor of the Phoenix Heart Walk and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Luncheon since 1999. APS gives $20,000 every year to the cause and more than 100 employees turn out annually to walk.

“It makes me feel like I’m one of the lucky ones and people are here supporting me and my family,” Matthew said.

Dumar calls the amount of support she receives from her APS family and her own family “phenomenal.”

“You have that sense of pride that ‘Hey, I just did something really good!’ and you feel that sense of accomplishment knowing we did it as a family,” Dumar said. “When you experience this support from so many people, it’s overwhelming on such a great level.”

The Heart Walk celebrates those who have made lifestyle changes and encourages many more to take the pledge to live healthier lifestyles while raising the dollars needed to fund life-saving research and initiatives in the community. For more information, visit phoenixheartwalk.kintera.org.

Then and now: Matthew was born with a rare heart condition. Now, he’s doing great and will be participating in the 2016 Phoenix Heart Walk along with his mom Shannon (pictured right).

Detectives were called and remained on-scene throughout the day, gathering evidence. The 33-year-old victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

YCSO detectives are trying to contact anyone who was in the vicinity at the time of the incident.

“Even if you think nothing of importance was seen, you may be able to provide a detail that could assist in the investigation,” the YCSO release emphasized. “Please contact Detective Daniel Pritchard at (928) 777-7275 or call Yavapai Silent

Witness at 1 (800) 932-3232. To speak with someone right away, call the main business line at (928) 771-3260.”

Although detectives have no specific information suspects are still in the area, YCSO said that motorists – especially those who are alone – might want to consider avoiding these unpopulated turnouts.

PHOENIX – Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain a major threat to taxpayers, but now the IRS is receiving new reports of scammers calling under the guise of verifying tax return information over the phone.

The latest variation being seen in the last few weeks tries to play off the current tax season. Scam artists call saying they have your tax return, and they just need to verify a few details to process your return. The scam tries to get you to give up personal information such as a Social Security number or personal financial information, such as bank numbers or credit cards.

“These schemes continue to adapt and evolve in an attempt to catch people off guard just as they are preparing their tax returns,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “Don’t be fooled. The IRS won’t be calling you out of the blue asking you to verify your personal tax information or aggressively threatening you to make an immediate payment.”

The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that continually change. The IRS, the states and the tax industry came together in 2015 and launched a public awareness campaign

called ‘Taxes. Security. Together.’ to help educate taxpayers about the need to maintain security online and to recognize and avoid “phishing” and other schemes.

The IRS continues to hear reports of phone scams as well as e-mail phishing schemes across the country.

“These schemes touch people in every part of the country and in every walk of life. It’s a growing list of people who’ve encountered these. I’ve even gotten these calls myself,” Koskinen said.

This January, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration announced they have received reports of roughly 896,000 phone scam contacts since October 2013 and have become aware of over 5,000 victims who have collectively paid over $26.5 million as a result of the scam. Just this year, the IRS has seen a 400 percent increase in phishing schemes.

Scammers make unsolicited calls claiming to be IRS officials. They demand that the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They con the victim into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. They may also leave “urgent” callback requests through phone “robo-calls,” or via a phishing email. They’ve even begun

politely asking taxpayers to verify their identity over the phone.

Many phone scams use threats to intimidate and bully a victim into paying. They may even threaten to arrest, deport or revoke the license of their victim if they don’t get the money.

Scammers often alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS or another agency is calling. The callers use IRS titles and fake badge numbers to appear legitimate. They may use the victim’s name, address and other personal information to make the call sound official.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money or to verify your identity, hang up immediately. If you don’t owe taxes, or have no reason to think that you do:

Contact TIGTA at 1(800) 366-4484 to report the call. Report the call to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes. If you know you owe, or think you may owe tax: Call the IRS at 1 (800) 829-1040. IRS workers can help you.

Stay alert to scams that use the IRS as a lure. Tax scams can happen any time of year, not just at tax time. For more, visit “Tax Scams and Consumer Alerts” on IRS.gov.

IRS warns of new phone scam targeting taxpayers

NORTH VALLEY – The lead-up to the presidential race has been especially intense this election season, and now Arizona voters will be making their voices heard when ballots are cast in the state’s Presidential Preference Election on March 22.

Early ballots for the PPE went out at the end of last month. The Arizona Secretary of State’s office has advised voters to return completed early ballots via mail as soon as possible to reduce the time it takes counties to process ballots after the

election. Early ballots can also be dropped off at polling places within the voter’s county on the day of the election.

Voters who cast their ballots on the day of the PPE will need to present identification to vote. To see a list of acceptable IDs, go online to www.azsos.

gov/elections/voting-election. Voters must be registered as Republicans or Democrats to vote in the PPE; those registered as Independents are not eligible to vote in this election.

To find your polling place, see https://voter.azsos.gov/VoterView/PollingPlaceSearch.do.

Newest Game and Fish wildlife camera showcases Phoenix falcons

PHOENIX – The Arizona Game and Fish Department has added a second wildlife live stream camera to its offerings. Now, anyone with a computer, smart phone, or tablet can get a peek into the lives of a breeding pair of peregrine falcons living atop the Maricopa County Administration building in downtown Phoenix.

Peregrine falcons have been nesting in the downtown Phoenix area for more than a decade. Maricopa County partnered with the department and is allowing biologists to monitor the birds and access the nest site when necessary.

This February, a nest box previously installed by the department was renovated and state-of-the-art streaming video and audio equipment was installed in anticipation of the falcons using the nest box again this season. Since the renovation, the birds have been spending more time at the nest box, indicating they intend to nest there again this year. Peregrine falcons tend to use the same nest sites season after season for many years.

Peregrine falcons are one of the

world’s most widespread raptors and are found on nearly every continent. The species nearly went extinct in North America due to pesticide poisoning, but thanks to recovery efforts, the species was removed from the U.S.’s Endangered Species Act in 1999. This falcon feeds almost exclusively on medium-sized birds such as pigeons and doves, which are plentiful in urban areas.

The department also launched a live feed of sandhill cranes earlier this year showing the birds wintering in southern Arizona. Both the peregrine and sandhill crane live streams can be viewed at www.azgfd.gov/livecams.

Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance seeks retreat sponsors

JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMSNORTH VALLEY

JUSTICE OF THE PEACESpring Training is literally in

full swing. Fifteen major league baseball teams are currently playing games at ten stadium locations in Maricopa County. However, unlike the NFL or the NBA, baseball does not have to follow one major set of federal laws.

Baseball is the only major American professional sport that is exempt from federal antitrust laws. Some of us may vaguely remember hearing about the Sherman Antitrust Act in high school; but generally antitrust laws are designed to discourage monopolies and price-fixing (among other things).

When Congress passed

antitrust legislation, it did so to target specific industries. Baseball was not on the list. When this issue was litigated, none other than Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in 1922 that antitrust legislation should not apply to baseball because the games were “purely state affairs” that had nothing to do with interstate commerce. Times have changed.

One recent industry study claimed that Spring Training generates an economic impact of $809 million for Arizona. In response to a survey, two-thirds of the out-of-town fans stated that spring training was their primary reason for visiting Arizona. Even so, the antitrust exemption remains.

Every appellate court that has decided this issue has noted that Congress could certainly change the law, if it wanted to do so. Given that it has not, there has been no reason yet for the judicial branch to do so.

In a somewhat odd opinion, Justice Harry Blackman began his 1972 opinion in Flood v. Kuhn, with a tribute to baseball and a list of especially

significant players. The Supreme

Court usually does not endorse

an industry. Perhaps in contrast,

people would be justifiably

concerned if an intellectual

property opinion began with a

discussion of the importance

of Apple merchandise and a list

of which products a justice had

historically liked.

There is potentially a new

development in this area. The

Oakland As would like to move

to San Jose. Major League

Baseball has essentially blocked

the move. In response, the

San Jose City Council filed a

lawsuit. Baseball team owners

apparently oppose the move

because San Jose is within

an area considered to be the

operating territory of the San

Francisco Giants.

Thus far, San Jose has lost;

but they are appealing the case.

Until further notice, play ball.

of the peace for the North Valley

Justice Court. His column appears

JUDY BLUHMI hate endings. Even happy

ones usually mean turbulence, change, and uncertainty are lurking around the corner. So when a child goes off to college or grandchild joins the military, it is with guarded “joy” that we celebrate their new endeavors. But death is different. It is the “ending” that can set us into a tailspin, even if our deepest belief is that our dearly departed is in a better place, the “sweet hereafter.”

When my father died it was a sunny day that started out as usual. He was 79 years old and never completely retired so was getting ready for his weekly radio

program. My mother had gone out briefly and when she arrived home, the door was locked. She had forgotten her key. She was terrified when it took my father thirty minutes to answer the door and when she saw his pale color she called the paramedics. He died the next day. And just like that, our world changed.

When someone we love leaves us it doesn’t necessarily matter if it is gradual or sudden. I suppose we should find comfort if someone dies at an advanced age, after all, living a long life is a privilege that is denied to many. Yet, sorrow and grief are cruel emotions that can send us into dark and lonely places. What is the purpose of this life? What is our legacy? Why must life end? Grief brings questions. We cling to our faith for answers.

I had the honor and privilege of working at Century 21 AZ West with a wonderful man named Dick Stone who passed away recently at the age of eighty-four. He had a long and successful life, as a highly decorated Marine Corps Captain serving in two wars, a business owner, former mayor of Wickenburg and a top-notch

realtor along with his wife, Lynn. He was a loving family man. Did you know him? Maybe you did. Because if you ever experienced the pleasure of working with someone with the highest integrity, then you knew Dick. And if you were lucky to hear easy laughter and be the recipient of kind deeds, then you knew him. He had all the qualities we emulate….strength of character, fun disposition, honesty, highest work ethic, deep and committed love for his family and beautiful wife.

Perhaps the greatest legacy a person can leave is the reminder that character matters. Just watch the Presidential debates

or reality television (almost one and the same) to see that we are witnessing new lows in human behavior. But before we think all is lost, we must take comfort in the “real people” who grace our lives. The neighbors, spouses, children, parents, colleagues, and friends are the ones who show us the blueprint for “greatness” by simply living good and decent lives. These are our role-models…the Dick Stones of the world.

Loss rips a loved one away from us! We were living out our lives…in the middle of a conversation…planning our next vacation! Death comes in one moment. Sorrow is spread out over time in a million little ways. The coffee mug that sits empty, the shirt hanging in the

closet, the boots at the back door, the vehicle in the garage. It is a conspiracy of inanimate objects that each hold a memory and all are stark reminders that the rightful owner is missing. When someone passes from our physical world, we hold those objects very close.

I recall when my horse Angel died, I left her bright pink halter sitting on a hook in the breezeway of the barn for a very long time. I would touch it, even smell it on occasion. But I could never quite put it on another horse and I never did give it away. It is now hanging on a wall of the tack-room. A gentle reminder of a hundred sweet memories.

My colleague, John, lost his wife to breast cancer. A year after her passing, he was thinking about a trip to Hawaii. Just to get away, somewhere different and warm. He sat at his wife’s desk and pulled out a drawer, and while reaching for a pen he was surprised to find a

tube of her lipstick. The color? “Tropical pink.” He laughed, certain that his wife was sending him a message, so he booked his trip to Maui. God’s tender mercies surround us.

Maybe our loved ones are never really gone…just waiting for us at the end of the next trail. Their love is like the star shining bright in the night sky, illuminating our path forward, changing us forever.

When someone we love leaves us it doesn’t necessarily matter if it is gradual or sudden. I suppose we should find comfort if someone dies at an advanced age, after all, living a long life is a privilege that is denied to many.

movie reviewMONTE YAZZIE

MOVIE COLUMNISTIt’s hard to keep a secret

these days. Somehow “10 Cloverfield Lane”, the follow-up to J.J. Abrams’ science fiction blockbuster “Cloverfield”, stayed relatively dormant and well off the radars of film fans until a few months ago. In today’s anticipation-heavy movie industry, where films are planned out and detailed years in advance, it would seem a difficult task to maintain the secrecy of a film as big as this one. The lack of information and equally vague trailer was an interesting move for this mysterious offering, a move that after watching the film proves to have been a successful and calculated one. “Cloverfield” utilized the first-person perspective to give the film a frantic, for some stomach turning, experience; “10 Cloverfield Lane” relies on more traditional methods in building a tension-filled mystery that watches two people waiting out the end of the world in a bunker dictated by a crazed doomsday survivalist.

Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is frustrated with her relationship and in the process of leaving the city. While driving through the countryside, listening to her boyfriend apologize, her car is violently hit and thrown off the road. Michelle wakes up in a small room with a locked door; she is chained up to the wall. Howard (John Goodman) is the person who rescued her, not only from the car crash but the world disaster that he claims

has poisoned the air. Howard has brought Michelle to his underground disaster bunker with another survivor named Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), a bunker controlled menacingly by Howard.

For a film that runs 105 minutes long, it sure does make the most out of a simple premise. Here, the story is basically woman gets trapped, then woman must escape. But director Dan Trachtenberg utilizes much of the waiting game to establish some clever moments of tension while slowly closing in the narrative walls to make the claustrophobic atmosphere even more unnerving. It works exceptionally well in the beginning, especially when the narrative and conventions play with the expectations of the audience, like in an early scene around the dinner table where the viewer is coaxed into guessing how everything will

play out. While it does go on a bit too long in the end, the successful moments of tension and the threatening cat-and-mouse aspects help in holding attention throughout.

The unnerving aspects can be attributed to the meticulous pacing in the script. However, its successful execution should be largely credited to the capable abilities of John Goodman who is menacing, intimidating, cracked, and any other word one would use to describe the quality of fear evoked by his character. Whether with an offhanded smirk, the emphasis of how he expresses certain sentences, or with purposeful and subtle mannerisms and gestures, Goodman nails every scene. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also good, portraying a resilient and tough young woman. She stands toe-to-toe with Goodman in the quiet scenes and the violent ones.

Maintaining secrecy during production ultimately helped preserve the mystery found in “10 Cloverfield Lane”. There is nothing overly exceptional going on here, just simple techniques accommodating a simple story with satisfying results. While it may have taken a little too much time moving into its final act, the payoff during and in the end is worth the wait. For those looking for a big monster movie with action and explosions, you won’t find much of that here. For those looking for a calculated thriller with great performances, prepare to be entertained.

Easy Street Arts Festival to be held this weekend

CAREFREE – Over 150 juried fine artists will be featured at the Easy Streets Arts Festival in Carefree this weekend. The festival will also include live entertainment, artist demonstrations, and food and wine. Activities run 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on March 18-20.

Sculptor Robert Brubaker of Cornville will be among the featured artists. Brubaker’s anthropomorphic characters of animals evoke the feeling of the Old West and have been featured in galleries across California,

Arizona, and New Mexico. Also featured are husband and

wife artists Cynthia and Ernie Apodaca from Tucson. Cynthia creates sophisticated jewelry designs by fusing precious metals with unusual stones, fossils, and mineral. Over the years, she has become a successful award-winning artist and has exhibited in prestigious, nationally juried shows in New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Ernie’s custom pieces are made by hand and

adorned with the finest high quality leather, fabric, and hides, resulting in contemporary stylized functional art with strong ties to both American Indian culture and Western lore.

Live entertainment will be provided by Bluesman

Mike and the Blues Review Band, Inka Gold, and Tony Duncan & Estun-Bah with the Yellow Bird Dancers.

Vermillion Promotions will present the Easy Street Arts Festival. Vermillion is the 2016 recipient of the 2016 Champion of the Arts award and two time recipient of the People’s Choice award, and this festival presenter frequently hosts events in Cave Creek and Carefree.

For more festival details, call (623) 734-6526 or see www.vermillionpromotions.com.

CCUEF secretary Kari Workman, who is the lead on this fundraiser, noted that the money raised through the Color Dash will help CCUEF provide grants to Cave Creek district teachers. Teachers apply for grants over the summer, and CCUEF awards the most innovative projects with grant funds. So far, CCUEF has provided AV equipment and other technology, musical instruments and equipment, heart monitors, reading robots, and has supported a robotics club.

“We do a grant award process in the fall,” Workman noted. “The money we earn now through the Color Dash will go to support those grants.”

Each year, CCUEF hosts the Rock the District Concert, which provides funds for CCUEF programs and supports the music and arts pillars of the foundation. Through the Color

Dash, the foundation is trying something new and hitting another key pillar: community health and wellness.

“We wanted to broaden our horizons and hit that Health and Wellness key, as well,” Workman said, adding that the focus of the event is to “get out and exercise and build community at the same time.”

This unique idea for a fundraiser occurred to the owners of the Color Dash organization when Torabpour and his wife were trying to raise funds to create a movie about the epidemic of suicide. Their first Color Dash in Minnesota was a

big hit and helped them fund the movie, which Torabpour reports has helped save lives. The Color Dash fundraising for charity idea took off, and they’ve since hosted 350 Color Dashes and raised over $2.5 million for charity, just in ticket sales. Fifty percent of the profits from merchandise and participant registration go to the charity being supported by the dash.

Torabpour called the Color Dash a “fun, crazy, cool event!” Through the fundraisers, Torabpour feels they can change lives, and they aim to give as much as possible to the charities with which they work.

“Our heart is to leave as much money in the community as we can,” he emphasized.

Workman noted that this is the first time the CCUEF has tried a Color Dash, and already it looks like this will be a popular fundraiser.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm!” she said.

Science as Beauty and PoetrySHEA STANFIELDARTS COLUMNIST

“We especially need to imagine in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry as well.” ~ Dr. Maria Montessori. As Dr. Montessori observed, imagination is the “scope” which allows us to see what is already there. Such is the life and journey of local Scientist and Artist Lee Hendrickson, who believes it is the artist’s goal to make the invisible visible and in doing so

reveal to the viewer a fresh and thought provoking worldview. Lee brings forth the “hidden world” seen only through the lens of a microscope.

Lee began his “incredible journey” growing up outside of Chicago, Ill. At the age of 12, he earned money shoveling snow during the seemingly endless Midwestern winters. The funds provided him with enough to buy his first microscope and set up a small laboratory in the basement of his family’s home. Not many years later, Lee moved his scientific curiosity to the warmer Atlanta, GA where he attended Emory University to pursue his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Shortly before graduation

Lee took his first photograph, through a microscope, of a rat flea, transmitter of the feared bubonic plague. Fascinating as it was, he realized there was a limited career path in pictures of fleas. Instead, Lee entered a career as a research scientist in both academic and biotech institutions that would span the next 35 years of his life.

While enjoying a successful career in science, Lee obtained an A.A. degree in Biomedical Photography from Bellevue College in Bellevue, WA. The program allowed him to focus his skills in both macro and microphotography. During his training in the 1980s, he discovered the hidden and magical world of crystals. At this point, Lee began growing his own crystals and discovered endlessly fascinating subject matter for his photography. In 2005, he founded Side Street Photomicrography (skills in both macro and micro photography), which proved to be a fateful move. Not long after, Lee found himself caught in his third corporate downsize and decided to pursue his photography and art full time.

Today, Lee and his wife live in the Phoenix area. His home studio/lab is a constant environment for expanding

his knowledge of crystal compounds, photography techniques, and exploring the endless array of patterns hidden in the micro worlds.

Lee lectures on his technique to interior designers and photography enthusiasts alike. As an educator he has taught both adults and children and in 2012 authored and published an instructional DVD set: Lee Hendrickson’s Creative Travel Photography.

To view Lee’s astonishing images or to contact him, visit his Web site at www.PhotographyofCrystals.com. Meet Lee at The Fine Art Expo at Jomax and Scottsdale Roads from now through April 3.

MCDOT Director and County Engineer Jennifer Toth called MCDOT’s core purpose “providing connections that improve people’s lives” and added that as the Valley’s population changes, MCDOT is “changing at how we’re looking at the transportation system and trying to provide those connections.” She listed several new projects to be implemented, including a plan for an interactive map that details what agency is responsible for each road in the area, set to be available later this year or early next year.

Phoenix Street Transportation Director Ray Dovalina discussed the Phoenix Transportation 2050 plan, noting that it “lays the ground floor for the future of Phoenix transportation.” This city is anticipating continued population growth and is planning for the future by tripling light rail miles, increasing bus service, and linking bus routes with the ending of light rail, as well as working on pavement preservation and road infrastructure. An extension of SR51 to ease the traffic in the area is in the works, as well as additional expansions of Sonoran Desert Drive.

Among the traffic safety implementations discussed was a flexible speed limit on certain Valley roadways. ADOT Deputy Director Hammit explained that a flexible speed limit would help keep traffic moving more consistently; for instance, during rush hour on the I-17, a flexible speed limit of 45 mph instead of 65 mph could deter drivers from going from 65 to 0 when traffic thickens, thus lessening the likelihood of crashes by keeping the traffic flow more even. Hammit also noted that flexible speed limits could be used when weather conditions warrant the need for slower driving.

A meeting attendee asked the transportation representatives about the issue of burros getting onto roadways. After a burro-involved vehicle collision on the I-17 near New River last January, multiple signs were installed alongside the I-17 alerting drivers that burros may be in the

area. Hammit noted that ADOT has been working with the Arizona Game and Fish Department and that the burro herds are growing in size; ADOT is taking steps to deal with the problem, starting with repairing fences to keep burros off roadways. Another option is a very low voltage electric mat near roadways, as has been used to deter bighorn sheep and elk from approaching roadways.

Another issue brought up was communication: reports about damaged roadways, graffiti, etc. can be difficult to make since residents may not know which agency to call. NR/DHCA president Alan Muller noted that it would be helpful if the three transportation departments had a central contact point so problems on local roadways can be reported.

“We need a number to call so it can be distributed from there,” Muller noted.

Toth said that a road information tool is in the works, as it was one of the first projects she tackled when she joined MCDOT.

“I initiated a whole project to update that right away and create this new tool so anybody within the agency could say, ‘This isn’t our roadway, but let me connect you to Phoenix, Mesa, etc. or wherever the connection is,’” Toth said. “Hopefully by the end of this year, that will be complete.”

Jenna Kohl, Anthem Community Council Community Executive Officer, offered the ACC’s help to transportation agencies to get the word out to residents regarding upcoming maintenance and other projects.

“We welcome that communication,” Kohl emphasized.

Dovalina noted that Phoenix Street Maintenance Dispatch can be reached at (602) 262-6441. While Phoenix’s maintenance department may not always be the one local residents need to reach, the dispatcher may be able to point callers in the right direction. Phoenix also has an app for reporting roadway issues: MyPhxAz.

Cave Creek Museum’s ‘Homes Through Time’ tour set for April 3

CAVE CREEK – Mark your calendar for Sunday, April 3 to attend Cave Creek Museum’s “Homes Through Time” Home Tour. The popular event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day and serves as one of the Museum’s biggest fund-raising events. This year’s tour features three unique homes that range from Western traditional to modern.

Circular Home designed by Will Bruder

Though he had no formal university training in architecture, Will Bruder made a name for himself in the design of private homes and

many public spaces, including Deer Valley Rock Art Center, Burton Barr Central Library in Phoenix, and Henkel headquarters in Scottsdale. He worked and studied under the renowned Paolo Soleri, and much of that influence can be seen in this “circular” home, one of the earliest homes he built. Set on nearly five acres of land in Cave Creek, it was originally designed in 1978 for his master carpenter. As a result, the home’s interior uses wood extensively. The history of the home includes renovations

made a number of years ago by a previous owner, who sought out Bruder to update aspects of the home without compromising the existing design. Bruder agreed and such additions as air conditioning duct work meld in beautifully with the original home’s framework.

Baciewicz ResidenceThis beautiful southwestern

home, built in 1995 on two-and-a-half acres in Cave Creek, takes full advantage of its spectacular setting, both in design and implementation. There’s a sense of an Edenesque self-sufficiency that one feels in the home, and the homeowner’s hand-crafted furniture adds a personal touch that lends to the warmth of the home. A large kitchen for this family of five is often a center for socialization, and to honor that, the Museum will conduct a “Kitchen and Garden Boutique” on the outside patio at this tour stop, where guests can purchase homemade baked goods, small cooking and gardening accessories, plants, and crafts. All proceeds from the “Kitchen and Garden Boutique” benefit Cave Creek Museum.

Colyer ResidenceThe owners are western

enthusiasts as this, their winter residence, beautifully shows. The 4,500-square foot home mixes elegance with the joy of western casual. The intricate glass and iron-work arched front door welcomes guests with a lariat wreath as befits the interest of Mr. Colyer, who is a team roping enthusiast. To practice the art, the property includes a five-stall barn and an arena, both open for guests to explore.

The barn includes a kitchen and amenities for caretakers of livestock when animals are on the five-acre site. Mrs. Colyer has a deep appreciate for fine art, as is evidenced by the beautiful paintings and sculpture throughout the home. With their children now grown, the couple shares their home with three Yorkshire terriers, an Australian Shepherd, a black Labrador Retriever, and an African grey parrot, who picked up on the homeowners’ passion for the Arizona Cardinals and has been known to yell out “Third Down” on occasion.

A self-guided tour, the event provides the flexibility to choose

the order of which properties you visit. The Museum will provide a pamphlet that serves as your ticket and includes the history and a detailed description of each home. On-site docents will point out additional aspects of each home. Once you have your admission pamphlet, you can start the tour at any of the featured locations.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.cavecreekmuseum.org, at the Museum, 6140 Skyline Drive, or with credit card by phone. The Museum also will open early at 8 a.m. on Sunday, April 3 to sell tickets. Tickets will not be available at the homes.

Tickets cost $25 per person through 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 29. After that, tickets cost $30 per person. No pets, food or beverages, or photography will be allowed within the homes and no children under the age of 12 will be admitted. Please note that some of the homes are on uneven terrain and may not be handicap accessible.

For more information, call (480) 488-2764 or visit www.cavecreekmuseum.org.

CAVE CREEK – Five Cave Creek Unified School District teachers are now National Board Certified teachers; two teachers just received their certification.

Alisa Gould, Title I Reading teacher at Horseshoe Trails Elementary School, achieved National Board Certification in the Literacy: Reading/Language Arts Certificate. Jackie Beazley, Physics teacher at Cactus Shadows High School, achieved National Board Certification in the Science: Adolescence/Early Adulthood Certificate.

This year, CCUSD had three teachers renew their certificates after being certified for nine years. Tahlie Peterson, 1st grade teacher at Desert Willow Elementary School, renewed her Early Childhood Generalist Certificate. Mike Sarraino, Counselor at Cactus Shadows High School, renewed his School Counseling Certificate. Nancy Pratt, Director of Instructional Technology, renewed her Middle Childhood Generalist Certificate.

National Board Certification is a voluntary advanced teaching credential that complements a state’s teacher license. It is valid for 10 years, after which NBCTs can seek certification renewal. Only 3 percent of

teachers in the United States are National Board Certified. In Cave Creek, the percentage is 6 percent, double the national percentage. Currently, CCUSD has seven more National Board Candidates working towards their certification and three teachers involved in the Pre-Candidacy course.

Congratulations to these exceptional educators!

Parkside Community Association announces

2016 election resultsANTHEM – On March

15, the Anthem Parkside Community Association announced the results of the APCA and Anthem Community Council Board of Directors election. For the APCA Board of Directors, incumbent Doug Sutherland received 30 percent of the votes, incumbent Teresa Oorin received 26 percent of the votes, and Chris Yano received 25 percent of the votes.

All three seats for the APCA Board will hold two-year terms. At the April 21 APCA Board meeting, the newest members will be seated, and the election of officers will take place.

Ryan Halleran was successful in his re-election as the Parkside representative on the ACC Board of Directors. Halleran will serve a three-year term and be seated at the April 27 ACC Board meeting. At this meeting, the ACC Board will also elect new officers for 2016-2017.

The ACC Board of Directors will also be appointing an additional Director this spring. A Director will be appointed to the ACC Board to replace Director Rob Linder (representing Parkside), who is expected to resign his seat this spring. The Director appointed will

serve until April 2018. Letters of interest were due Feb. 15, and interviews for the position started at the end of February. Once the ACC Board appoints a new Director, the candidate will be notified and must attend all Board meetings that occur before Director Linder resigns. After his resignation is submitted, the newly appointed Director will take on the role of a Director on the ACC Board.

The ACC Board of Directors is a seven-member Board that includes three representatives each from the Country Club and Parkside Homeowners’ Associations and one from The Village HOA. Each year, an election is held for term-ending Board seats. Individuals are elected to serve three-year terms beginning and ending in April.

The Parkside Community Association in Anthem is the homeowners’ association that manages over 7,000 homes for nearly 20,000 residents.

Pet of the Week: Sparky

Meet Sparky!Sparky is a 9-year-old,

neutered, male Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix). He’s a very sweet, mellow boy who would do well with a retired couple who would be willing to take him for his daily walks and dote on him. Sparky gets along well with other dogs, big and small, and would likely do well with cats, too.

Sparky is both house trained and crate trained and enjoys being wherever you are. While he does well with children, he has proven to be an escape artist and would do best in a less active home where he’s not as likely to slip out. Sparky is an indoor dog and requires a home where he will not be left outdoors

unattended. If you would like to give

Sparky a forever home, please complete an Anthem Pets Matchmaker Application, located online at anthempets.org. A $65 adoption fee applies.

Anthem Pets (www.anthempets.org) is a nonprofit animal rescue organization serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Operating on donations only, it aims to find forever homes for abandoned animals and return wayward pets to owners. If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help Anthem Pets, please consider making a donation so we can continue to rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Or better yet, become a foster!

PHOENIX – Registration is now open for the Arizona Game and Fish Department wildlife and outdoor recreation summer camp.

Camps for kids ages 8-14 will be held June 13-16 and June 20-23 from 8 a.m.-3:15 p.m. at the department’s Hirsch Conservation Area, located on the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in north Phoenix.

“More and more research is proving that a connection with nature is important for

children and provides a lifetime benefit. Kids today are losing that connection and Game and Fish is looking for ways like this camp to help parents establish their child’s interest in wildlife and all-things outdoors,” said Wildlife Education Program Manager Mike Demlong of the department.

Each session will include hands-on science experiments, fishing, kayaking, archery, air rifles, wildlife encounters, and

more. The camp is sponsored

by the department and the non-

profit Wildlife for Tomorrow.

Space for each camp session

will be limited, so register now

through June 1. The fee to attend

is $150 per session per child.

Registration can be completed

by visiting www.azgfd.com/

education/adobemountain/

summercamp/, calling (602)
