Merrill Gardens retirement facility to begin construction in 2015 ANTHEM – Retire-

ment facility Merrill Gardens at Anthem will be breaking ground next spring. The facil-ity will be equipped to house over 100 residents and will of-fer several levels of care. Mer-rill Gardens at Anthem is slat-ed to open in early 2016. This will be the fi rst retirement facility in Anthem. It’s also Merrill Gardens’ fi rst Arizona facility; the company has retirement communities in Alabama, California, Nevada, and Washington. “As a 21-year-old family company, we are com-mitted to each community in which we operate and we are very excited to become part

NORTH VALLEY – The midterm election on Nov. 4 yielded some changes in gov-ernment, with several close races taking the spotlight. As of now, the Secre-tary of State and the Maricopa County Recorder’s Offi ce are still referring to ballot counts as unoffi cial. Since thousands of early ballots and provisional ballots remained to be counted as of press time, some results are projected but not confi rmed. Recounts could be requested in especially close races. Democrat David Gar-cia and Republican Diane Douglas were engaged in a close race for Superintendent of Public Instruction, with few-er than 18,000 votes between them. Media outlets projected Douglas to win. Garcia offi -cially conceded to Douglas late on the night of Nov. 10, stating that his team could not see a path to victory with the num-ber of ballots remaining.

A winning formula for BCHS Swim and Dive team

ANTHEM – Thanks to a foundation of success and hard work, the Boulder Creek Swim and Dive team continues to make strides in Division I. It all starts at the top with coach Scott Newell, who carries himself as a swimmer’s coach. In his third season as coach, the program is fl our-

ishing with talent across the board, much in part to New-ell’s personality and the way he pushes his swimmers. “Show up, work hard, have fun. If you do these 3 things you will have success,” says Newell.

Prop 487 fails inPhoenix and beyond

PHOENIX – Proposi-tion 487, the ballot measure over City of Phoenix employee pen-sion benefi ts, failed to pass in this year’s mid-term election cycle – though according to some it remains clear that the battle for pension reform is far from over. Catherine Alonzo, a spokesperson for the “No on 487” campaign, said that it was clear voters “were loudly voicing their opposition,” but even she was unsure of how the vote would pan out. “I just didn’t know what to expect. There hadn’t been any recent polling, how-ever it did show that voters had a decisive reaction to 487,” she said, speaking after the measure had failed – nearly 58 percent voting against to around 42 per-cent voting for the measure. The fi gures, released by the Maricopa County Elec-

tions Offi ce, are listed as tenta-tive, while the offi ce “continues to process and tabulate early ballots and provisional ballots.” The loss seems clear, however, as Phoenix City Councilman Sal DiCiccio – a long-time advocate for steep pension reform – released a statement on Nov. 5 detailing the defeat and prospective next steps towards reform. Repeated attempts to contact representatives from the “Yes on 487” campaign went unanswered, but an argument central to their cause revolves around the ridding of pension spiking, an issue that Alonzo said had already been resolved. “Pension spiking had been completely eliminated by the mayor and city offi cials after talks with police and fi re unions earlier this year, but I could see why they (“Yes on

Local veteran joining Veterans Hall of Fame

ANTHEM – Local veteran Don DeMarte has been inducted into the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett. DeMarte, a respected local vet-eran, was inducted on Oct. 24 at the Phoenix Marriott Tempe at the Buttes into the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. DeMarte retired after 20 years as a proud member of the US Navy. His service to his country and commu-nity did not end with his retirement. DeMarte has made it his mis-sion in life to assist veterans. As Com-mander of American Legion Post 128

and Vice-Commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12031, both located in Anthem, DeMarte has dedicated his eff orts to many community causes and activities, such as the Maricopa Coun-ty StandDown for homeless veterans and the annual Anthem Veterans Day Parade. He is also an advocate for veterans incarcerated in the Phoe-nix Federal Correctional Institution and assists them with veteran issues. He participates in the Honor Guard which serves at military funerals. DeMarte’s support of veterans of all services is an inspiration to the citizens of the Great State of Arizona.

Election Resultsfrom pg. 1

Ballot proposition 122, which gives Arizona legislators the right to deny funding to any federal legislation they deem unconstitutional, was another tight race. Votes in favor led by about 2.5 percent. The mea-sure is projected to pass. Outside of the local districts, two other close races for representatives in Congress were on the national spectrum. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) and Andy Tobin (R) were engaged in a close race; Kirkpatrick won by over five percent. Ron Barber (D), who was an aide to former Con-gresswoman Gabrielle Gif-fords, ran for her Congres-sional seat. In 2012, Giffords gave up her seat after a near-fatal assassination attempt in 2011. Martha McSally (R) opposed Barber for the Con-

gressional seat. The race was extremely tight, with McSally having about 400 votes more than Barber. As of press time, the race had not been called for either candidate. Republican Doug Du-cey won the gubernatorial race over Democrat Fred DuVal, Lib-ertarian Barry Hess, and Ameri-cans Elect candidate J.L. Mealer. In the Secretary of State race, Michele Reagan (R) beat out Terry Goddard (D) by about 54,000 votes. Mark Brnovich (R) won Attorney General over Felecia Rotellini (D). Jeff DeWit (R) ran un-opposed for State Treasurer. Incumbent Joe Hart (R) also ran unopposed for the office of State Mine Inspector. In the Corpora-tion Commission race, Doug Forese (R) and Tom Little (R) won over Sandra Kennedy (D) and Jim Holway (D). Legislative District 1 –

Local area Steve Pierce (R) ran unopposed for District 1 state senator. Karen Fann (R) and Noel Campbell (R) won Dis-trict 1 state representatives, over Frank Cuccia (D). Congressional District 4 – includes Black Canyon City Republican Paul Gosar beat Democrat Mike Weisser and Libertarian Chris Rike for representative in Congress. Congressional District 6 – Cave Creek, Carefree, North Scottsdale, and Hap-py Valley area of Phoenix Incumbent David Schweikert (R) beat John Wil-liamson (D) for representative in Congress. Congressional District 8 – New River, Tramonto, Anthem, and the Sonoran Foothills area Incumbent Trent Franks (R) kept his seat as representative. He was opposed in the race by Americans Elect candidate Ste-

phen Dolgos, who received over 24 percent of the vote. Ballot propositions – state wide Prop 122, which gives Arizona legislators the right to deny funding to any federal legislation they deem unconsti-tutional, is projected to pass by a narrow margin. Prop 303, which allows terminally ill patients to try new experimental treatments, passed by a wide majority. Prop 304, which would raise legislators’ salaries from $24,000 to $35,000, failed by almost two-thirds of the vote. Maricopa County Prop 480, which will help fund the Maricopa Coun-ty Special Health Care Dis-trict, passed with about two-thirds of the vote. City of Phoenix Prop 487, the much-debated amendment to the retirement plan of City of Phoenix employees, failed with

about a 60/40 split against. Town of Carefree Both Prop 488 and Prop 489 failed. These propo-sitions would have extended the terms of the mayor and councilmembers to four years. Cave Creek Unified School District Both CCUSD bond questions passed with a slim majority. Three candidates were vying for two CCUSD govern-ing board seats. Mark Warren and Cynthia Weiss were elected over Angelica Petersen.Deer Valley Unified School District Six candidates were running for two seats on the DVUSD governing board. Kimberly Fisher and Ann O’Brien were elected over Bob Stambach, Trilese DiLeo, Dar-cy Tweedy, and John Allen.

of the Anthem community in the coming months,” said Bill Pettit, President of the R.D. Merrill Company (parent company of Merrill Gardens). Pettit described Merrill Gardens at Anthem as having “a wide range of lifestyle choices for residents, designed to meet their individual situation.” “Our service program is based on need and is indi-vidualized to each resident,” Pettit continued. “There will be some residents who don’t need assisted living services and some who will need more help with the tasks of daily liv-ing.” Pettit noted that the facil-

ity will have a secure memory care program for patients who need 24-hour care. Merrill Gardens will have numerous amenities for the residents. It’s designed with a community atmo-sphere, with residents occu-pying private apartments but sharing multiple activities. “We have a restau-rant-style dining room where residents enjoy our exclusive Anytime Dining program,” said Pettit. “We also have a very busy Active Living wellness program for residents and an activity cal-endar that is full of opportuni-ties for socialization and fun!” Merrill Gardens at Anthem will be located at West Meridian Road and West Rose Canyon Circle. The fa-cility’s traffic impact has been

discussed by local residents. “On the issue of ad-ditional traffic in the area, that was a question that was brought up often as a concern,” said Tim Fyke, Anthem Com-munity Council president. Fyke explained that, originally, a church or school was planned for the land, which “would have impacted traffic flows.” “When Merrill Gar-dens reaches its peak size the traffic impact is still expected to be minimal,” Fyke said, not-ing that many of the residents will not be driving. “On the weekend we assumed there would be a higher number of visitors to Merrill Gardens than during

the weekday,” Fyke added. He anticipates that “there might be higher traffic flows than normal” before and after services at St. Rose. “Of course had a school or another church been built on the site, the additional traffic flow could have been much heavier both during the week and the weekend,” Fyke noted. Asked if the Council expected to need any addi-tional stop lights or signage in the area, Fyke replied, “That really is a call for the county.” Merrill Gardens planners don’t foresee heavi-er traffic, either. “We do not expect that our community will noticeably impact traffic on Meridian or Daisy Mountain,” said Pettit. “Our project will include multiple

entrances located on West Rose Canyon Circle, and there will be no direct access from our property to West Meridian Drive.” Once construction begins, Merrill Gardens at An-them is estimated to be built in 14 months. Starting in 2016, residents will be moving in. “In the coming months our team will begin to meet with families and pro-spective residents and start that process,” Pettit said. Once applications be-gin to be accepted, residents will be able to reserve particular apartments. Apartments will be available on a month-to-month basis, lowering upfront fees. The Anthem Com-munity Council expects a

positive impact on the Anthem community from the inclusion of Merrill Gardens, including payment of dues and patroni-zation of local businesses. “It is our hope that new families will move to Anthem if they can have their parents or grandparents close by, with the same being said for our exist-ing Anthem residents who have shown great interest in having a facility like Merrill Gardens for their relatives,” Fyke said. “Our community is about family first and places like Merrill Gardens provide another way of keep-ing the extended family closer together.” See more about Mer-rill Gardens at www.Merrill-Gardens.com or Facebook, Merrill Gardens.

Vet-erans are encouraged to apply through the initiative. Veterans

who have been discharged from service more than 12 months ago are not eligible for prior-ity status, but their training and experience will be highly con-sidered in their applications.

A D V E RT I S E H E R E

I went purse shop-ping. Yes, my eyes have been opened (and wallet almost emptied) because I have seen the Purse Promise Land. Hus-bands, please stop reading this column right now, because what I am about to say might be alarming. Ladies’ handbags cost a King’s ransom. Why? Well, I am not an investigative reporter so have no idea why so many purses start out at around $350...and then head north into the thousands. And of course, the sky is the limit. I have a girl-friend who is an attorney and has a Hermes bag that cost Ten Big Ones (that’s ten thousand dollars). Oh yea, purses are in-sanely expensive. Oh, and she makes no excuses for spending like a drunk sailor on a handbag. She simply says, “I like excellent quality.” Ha! I told her I thought 10K should be “illegal” to spend on a handbag. A colleague in Phoe-nix took me into the Michael Kors shop, where I thought I might be in a purse museum. The lighting was bright, spot-ters shining on racks of per-fectly stacked leather handbags. Was I in an art gallery? The displays, purses artfully sitting on glass shelves, and an almost devout group of women stand-ing and staring, with such joy and awe that I was wondering, “Am I in the Louvre?” Oh, did I mention you better have $350 to $700 to even consider buying one of these “masterpieces?” My friend, not able to decide on which bag to select, said, “Let’s go to the Coach store.” Okay, I have good taste. I like fine things. But one thing about Coach bags is this: They All Look the Same! Uh oh, now the emails will come flying my way. Sorry Ladies, but Coach purses all look like they have been cut from the same cloth! Boring! AND a mere four hundred bucks. I mentioned this to my friend and she just stared at me and hissed, “It is called brand rec-ognition. Like McDonald’s golden arches. Of course they all look alike!” While she spent an hour weighing the pros and cons of which (overpriced) exquisite handbag to buy, we moved on (escaped) and went on a realtor luxury home tour. While touring a two million dollar home, one of the realtors was proudly wear-ing Jimmy Choo three-inch spike heels. Fabulous leather, a gorgeous gray and teal shoe like none other. Gee, would

you wear these pricey heels to tour homes? While going to a palatial estate with wood decks, the realtor made the gravest mistake a woman can make who is wearing heels. Never walk on decks! Sudden-ly, her right pencil-thin heel sunk in between the deck slats and a scream went out. A doz-en realtors came to her rescue, standing in a circle around the poor women, whose right shoe was sunk deep inside the groove of the decking. A big burly broker got down on his hand and knees, told the lady in distress to step out of the shoe, while he tried to free the golden slipper. In total silence, we all watched while he tried to dislodge the shoe. Then, he said, “I have to pull it,” and forcefully grabbed the shoe and yanked it free. The spike heel broke off from the shoe and in stunned silence, gasps, and one lady’s scream of de-spair, she was handed her now broken shoe. The spike was lodged forever in the decking. Hard to know what to say to someone who just screwed up a $1500 pair of shoes. Nothing. Oh, and my at-torney friend with the Hermes bag? Well, she has a bigger problem. It seems that it smells like a skunk! That’s right, about 15,000 customers are freaked out because their coveted bags that cost an arm and a leg have a really strong, disgusting odor. If it sits in the sun for a few minutes, the stench is unbear-able. My friend has sent it back to France and she is insisting on a refund, or will wait sev-eral months for a new handbag. When I told her that maybe it doesn’t always pay to be “stink-in’ rich” she was not amused. What’s in your wallet? Okay, I meant to say what’s in your handbag? Because some of these purses I saw on my Purse Expedition are large enough to pack for a week! In fact I did go to Australia for a month with a smaller back-pack. Ladies, what are we car-rying around in these suitcase size bags? I am shopped out. Although I didn’t buy anything, I have seen the Fantasy Land of purses. And I probably will nev-er go there. But one can dream. Leather as soft as butter, hand-made clasps of 24 carat gold, or better yet, crocodile skin with 10 carats of white diamonds! The Red Crocodile Birkin bag sells for a mere $200,000. At that price, the purse should be laying golden eggs.

If clothes make the man, then handbags must make the woman. Americans spend around 1.6 billion an-nually on purses! The average woman has 21 handbags and buys three a year. One in ten women spend more than a thousand bucks on their purses and the average price is for the average gal is around $150. That’s a whole lot of dough going into the sack that car-ries our money. Which if we keep spending on purses we may not need them! We will be broke! I told my husband Doug what ladies spend on their handbags, and he ac-cused me of making it up. Well, I’m a writer, so of course I make things up! But the re-search and evidence is clear: Women love purses and will pay dearly for them! My cultural explora-tion into the world of purse-buying left me empty handed, but I did have to remind a few of my well-heeled friends that while I do not have a Hermes handbag (and never will) I do have a Hermes saddle. Bought many years ago at an estate sale, it is a soft leather beauty that sits in my tack room along with all the other saddles. Sort of like a purse. Sometimes you use it, the rest of the time it sits in your closet (barn). Brand names? For those that care it really matters. Quality? It comes at a price that few of us can afford. Price? It stinks that luxury has to cost so much. Dear Readers, my “purse research” did help rein-force one truth. The best things in life are free. Unless you like Gucci.

487”) would say that – pen-sion spiking is very unpopu-lar with voters,” Alonzo said. “Our main concerns (past the questions to pension security) were that the mea-sure would cost more than it would save, and that it’s so badly written that both sides agreed it would be litigated in lengthy lawsuits that would end up costing the taxpayer – the only people who ben-efit there are the lawyers,” Alonzo said. Bonni Beaupied, an absentee voter in Desert Hills – whose location outside of Phoenix city limits made her ineligible to vote on the mea-sure itself, also questioned the language of the measure. “I’ve heard that it’s fairly controversial, and wasn’t well drafted,” she said. This is the same situation for many North Valley voters. Large swathes of An-them just border Phoenix city limits, meaning many area voters did not see Prop 487 on their ballots, but concern over the measure was clear just from the num-ber of yard signs and outcry over the security of public safety employees’ benefits. Anthem resi-dent Traci McCor mick echoed these senti-ments. “If I could’ve had a say on it, I’d have been a no vote. I’m married to some-one in public safety, it’s im-portant for these people to have benefits available to them. I don’t think putting it into a 401(k) would be valuable,” she said. McCormick also not-ed the power that local TV advertisements must have had in swaying votes. “I think the commer-cial with the law enforcement benefits being cut off had a strong impact,” she said.

Exercise your brain at the Foothills Community Foundation SCOTTSDALE – Are you looking to learn a new craft or skill, like card making, digital photography, or acting? Do you want to ex-pand your mind by hearing a fascinating lecture or viewing a colorful art show? Or may-be you’re up for a good game of Bingo or Bridge? These are just some of the many classes, events, and activities offered for local residents of all ages at the Foothills Commu-nity Foundation’s Holland Community Center, 34250 N. 60th Street, Bldg. B, in Scottsdale. As FCF prepares to celebrate its fifth year at the Holland Community Center campus, its staff and volun-teers have lined up an excit-ing roster of events, presen-tations, and activities. “We’re so fortunate to live in a community that cher-ishes arts and entertainment, that cares about sustainability and that welcomes the chance to learn from others,” said Chris Winger, FCF president and CEO. “Take advantage of our Holland Community Center…not only will you ex-pand your mind, you’re sure to make some new friends or re-connect with old ones.” New this year: FCF has added “Toddler Story and Playtime” sessions on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The class features a mix of open play, songs, stories, dances, parachute play and bub-bles. Geared towards par-ents, grandparents, care-givers and their toddlers, the classes are free through October 30. Starting Nov. 6, FCF will sell punch cards offering five classes for $30. No reservations are required but adults must stay with their toddlers (no drop-offs). Sue Parker of Cave Creek is teaching Card Making classes from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 5,

March 5, April 2, and May 7. The Thursday evening classes are geared towards adults and offer a fun way to learn how to create greet-ing cards using Stampin’ Up products, including exclu-sive stamps, paper, stamp pads, ribbons and other em-bellishments. For $20 per class, participants learn how to make four greeting cards and/or a possible 3-D proj-ect, such as a small gift box or treat bag. “People sometimes think they need some spe-cial skills or be “crafty” in order to participate, but that’s not the case,” Parker

said, adding that she sees both women and men in her classes. “My favorite thing is the reaction when someone stamps for the first time, assembles their card, and sits back amazed at what they just created. And if someone is an ex-perienced stamper, they get new ideas and learn some new techniques. Even peo-ple with a room full of craft supplies at home will enjoy the social atmosphere of crafting together with new friends.” Activities include Bingo and Chinese Mah-jong on Thursday after-

noons, a “Let’s Talk Art” gallery show in October and an “Ageless Spirit” gal-lery show running in No-vember and December. Desert Foothills The-ater and the Desert Aware-ness Committee are also part of the Foothills Community Foundation. For a full list of FCF classes, MindQuest lectures, visual arts shows, DFT theater productions and classes, Desert Aware-ness hikes and educational programs, and other activi-ties, visit www.azfcf.org or call (480) 488-1090.

Sandi Ciaramitaro: “Cook with Love & Paint with Passion”

SCOTTSDALE – Much like the master painters of the American West, Thomas Moran, Edgar Payne and Charles M. Russell, local artist Sandi Ciaramitaro exquisitely captures the mystery and magic of today’s whispering natural landscapes in true en plein air, alla prima style (in the fresh air, in one go). Mes-merized by the vast expanses of red sandstone formed over cen-turies by swirling wind and rushing water, the daily routine of native inhabitants and the simplicity of life that teams on the land’s surface today, Sandi finds great joy in going off road to open areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and California. This vast, silent land-scape and simple lifestyle is a long way from East Detroit, Michigan where Sandi grew up and worked for 15 years for one of the top three automak-ers. Her training in Auto Body Design with a styling specialty eventually landed her top spot as coordinator of the small truck design. Her free, expan-sive, and bold painting style today would give you no hint

of her draftsperson, engineer-ing roots. Alas, not finding her free and most creative spirit nur-tured by the button down world of auto manufacturing, Sandi enrolled in several painting class. Soon she realized if she was go-ing to “truly release that artist within,” she would need to strike out on her own adventurous path developing her own techniques. Sandi has found her passion in a variety of paint mediums. She describes her

watercolor process as extreme-ly delicate and taking months to complete. For this reason, she will work on these in her studio loft, high above the So-noran Desert overlooking the Tonto National Forest, where she lives in Arizona. As for her oils, she typically creates a few pieces every year, and in-stu-dio, from the ones she paints on location, just as the Old Masters expanded their collec-tions from their subject studies.

In keeping with the “close to the earth and natural” theme of Sandi’s work, it is boarded with handmade frames crafted from 25-100 year old reclaimed Arizona wood. Her originals are truly original, which is a point highly appreciated by Sandi’s many collectors. They enjoy the first show and pick of each new series produced before the items preview in the current season’s shows. This year marks Sandi’s introduction into bronze relief. In this process, Sandi uses ma-terials in her clay that provide unique texture to the piece, (i.e., stone, granite, mesquite, pyrite, etc). She plans to use turquoise and other materials that will be embedded, in some of the re-liefs, as accents. This process was developed from a series of watercolors and oils that Sandi has titled “With Respect.” Her subject is the pueblo of Walpi on the 1st Mesa, one of the oldest continuously inhabited pueblos in the North America, dating to 900AD. One of the pieces, a 7’ by 14” oil, is an ac-curate depiction of the full side of Walpi. She is now using that painting as her reference to create the 7’ bronze relief of this beautifully, serene, and spiritual place. The bronze reliefs will debut at Hidden

in the Hills Studio Tour in November, with the3D pieces making their entrance, in San-di’s art productions, in 2015. If all of this does not keep Sandi Ciaramitaro busy enough, she is also is the author of three coffee table Art gal-lery/Cookbooks that contain her work and her Tuscan Fam-ily recipes, entitled “Cook with Love & Paint with Passion” volumes I, II, III. All three are available on Amazon or at any of her shows this season. Sandi has a busy sea-son coming up and a number of wonderful opportunities for you to see her work, talk to her about her work, and become a collector. Sandi is Studio #20 on The Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour, the last two weekends in November (www.sonoranartsleague.org) and at the Arizona Fine Art EXPO, booth #56 and 61, Jan. 16-March 28, 2015. (www.ari-zonafineartexpo.com).

Obituary: Bernadine R. Kisiel

Bernadine R. Kisiel, 93, passed away while sur-rounded by family at home in Phoenix, AZ, on the morning of Wednesday, Oc-tober 15, 2014.

She was born to Owen and Francis Keating in Chi-cago, IL, on June 21st, 1921. Bernadine married Joseph A. Kisiel in 1940 and resided in the Chicago area before fi nally making Arizona her home in

1984. She was a devoted and caring wife, mother, grand-mother, and great-grandmoth-er who strove to craft a loving home in which all were wel-come. She was an avid reader and also volunteered her time at nursing homes and served as a foster grandparent in the ICU for premature babies at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Bernadine is preceded in death by her sister Evelyn, husband Joseph, sons Dennis and Daniel, daughter Sha-ron, and grandson Vincent. She is survived by her son Ste-ven (Lalaine) and daughters Deborah Schvaneveldt (Ned) and Bernadine Bueno-Bara-jas (Martin), daughter-in-law Marguerite, 17 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at Good Shepherd Mission in New River, AZ, after which she was laid to rest on Mon-day, the 20th of October at Holy Redeemer Cemetery in Phoenix.

BCHS Swimfrom pg. 1

Newell also notes the support from his assistant staff . “I try to fi nd coaches and volunteers that love swim as much as I do and see diff erent things from each swimmer than what I might see.” Sophomore Cooper Salmen thinks highly of his coach. “He’s just a fun coach,” Salmen said. “I’ve known him for two years and I’ve had nothing but fun with him. He teaches us well during prac-tice, he lets us mess around but when it’s time to get serious he gets serious.” The players notice the strong chemistry the team has. “ We all get along together really well,” Senior and captain of the swim team Michael Farella said. “We know each other, we’re friends, we go to a lot of movies and we just really hang out a lot of the time out of practice.” “I think we’re all good friends,” Salmen says regarding team chemistry. “We consider ourselves family because we’ve known each other; we’re all con-nected in some way.” Senior standout swimmer Krista Kolkebeck feels the same way as her other swimmers. “The friendships and with the close team that we have and the dedi-cation that we put in during practice,

all around everything comes together and it works out for us.” With strong chemistry comes success for the Jaguars. “We are trying to make the po-dium (top 4) for the fi rst time for the girls’ team in both individual and relay events,” Newell said. “We have some swimmers seeded 4th in the state right now and relays as high as 5th.” Kolkebeck is one of the fastest swimmers in the state of Arizona and is going for the podium at state. “If I didn’t have my team-mates I wouldn’t be where I was today,” says Kolkebeck. “They help me a lot and push me.” With a strong team atmosphere and a coach who lets his swimmers be themselves, the Boulder Creek Swim and Dive team once again are near the top of Division I and have a great core of upcoming young swimmers on the way.

101 Minutes | Rated R |Monte’s Rating | 3.50 out of 5.00 |

John Wick

Be careful whom you cross. That’s the introducing theme to the most recent entry into the revenge genre with direc-tor Chad Stahelski’s fi lm “John Wick.” Seemingly infl uenced by the fi lms of John Woo, Sta-helski pulls no punches with the breakneck, bullet-ridden action sequences. Writer Derek Kolstad off ers some of the best material in years for star Keanu Reeves, who seems tailored for walking into a room full of armed tough guys with a calm, “no problem” personality. “John Wick” is a worthy entry into the revenge genre: it’s not heavy on point-less plot or twisting narrative transitions but instead relishes in the mayhem that moves it from scene to scene. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is a former hitman for hire. Retired, John lives a nor-mal life with his wife (Bridget Moynahan) until she sud-denly dies. John is alone, but an unexpected gift from his wife before she died arrives at his doorstep, a puppy. John is given an opportunity to con-tinue his normal existence, but a group of young gangsters come and take the last piece of hope in his life. John returns for vengeance to the life he barely escaped, guns in hand. There is nothing com-plicated about “John Wick.” The simplistic, narrative de-sign gives you all the major plot points in the fi rst 15 minutes. From then on the fi lm trudges into familiar revenge fi lm terri-tory. John in a nice suit armed

with weapons and bad guys with heavy accents lining up for John to unceremoniously knock down. However, writer Derek Kolstad adds some unique fea-tures to accommodate the dis-tinctive formula. John isn’t the only hitman in New York City. There is an assassin society that keeps their secret and off ers safe housing; also added are a cleanup crew that takes care of the messy aftermath, and special currency that pays for services. The narrative nicely composes the settings and at-mosphere of the fi lm, making the world seem like something out of a comic book. Keanu Reeves is a per-fect fi t for this role. A mix of calm and collected while also displaying the personality of an ordinary and regular guy, Reeves has been playing this character for some time and he does it well when the material is suited for it. There are some great cameos from the always-reliable Willem Dafoe as a fellow hitman and Ian McShane as the manager of the assassin safe house. “John Wick” func-tions best when it embraces its B-movie ambitions. Keanu Reeves surprisingly holds the fi lm together with his perfor-mance, though in moments the fi lm’s no-nonsense approach has a tendency to slow the pac-ing signifi cantly and scenes have an inclination to feel more like rehashes in new settings. After being asked a recurring question throughout the fi lm, John Wick exclaims, “Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.” That line of dialogue is a telling statement for a fi lm that is bound to fi nd a sequel, which I would more than likely sit through again.

North valley offers gluten-free dining options

NORTH VALLEY – Dietary restrictions limit op-tions for picking up a quick meal or enjoying a night out. Eating gluten-free eliminates some frequent foods like bread and pasta, which can be diffi -cult in itself. But for those with ce-liac disease, eating gluten-free presents more than just the challenge of avoiding every-day foods with gluten in them. Cross-contamination can eas-ily occur with gluten-free food that is handled and/or stored with food containing gluten. For instance, someone with ce-liac disease can’t just pick crou-tons off a salad to avoid the gluten in them – the other in-gredients can become contam-inated with gluten and cause a severe reaction in those with celiac disease. Someone who has severe celiac disease can get sick just from eating gluten-free food that was prepared by someone who handled gluten products, like bread, and didn’t wash their hands in between. Dining out isn’t im-possible, though – local restau-rants are now off ering gluten-free options. Precaution: it may be better for people with severe reactions to gluten to lower the chance of accidental cross-contamination and avoid eat-ing out. Many restaurants take precautions to avoid cross-con-tamination; ask each restau-rant for more information. Bruce Barro, one of the owners of Barro’s Pizza, got started in off ering gluten-free pizza options because of family friends who have celiac disease. “That made us aware of the challenges,” Barro said. “We all got tested.” Barro’s wife and daughter are both al-lergic to gluten and dairy. For a family of pizza restaurateurs, pizza was a dinner staple. The Barros started look-ing at diff erent dietary options. “We started restruc-turing our health,” Barro ex-plained. “We ventured out and started getting online, trying to learn as much as we could.” From there, the Bar-

ros started searching for ways to make gluten-free pizza, sampling and taste-testing at diff erent bakeries. Once they settled on using Udi’s pizza crusts, Barro’s Pizza began of-fering gluten-free options, in-cluding pizza, salad and salad dressings, wings, sauces, and beer. Other menu options can be made to order, too. Barro noted that customers can “get creative with what they can do” with menu options. Gluten-free pizzas are made in the same ovens as regular; the staff uses diff erent trays, parchment paper, and a separate freezer to minimize the risk of cross-contamina-tion. The wings are made in the same fryer that houses oth-er products, so customers with severe gluten intolerance need to keep that in mind. Barro’s also designates specifi c staff members to handle gluten-free orders, and all man-agers receive training on gluten-free preparation. Employees are trained to report what products are gluten-free and what aren’t, and they work to help accom-modate customers’ needs. Barro, who owns Bar-ro’s restaurants with his broth-ers, noted that they brought in consultants to judge how well the restaurants were keeping gluten-free. The restaurants were rated as “doing it better than 99 per-cent” of other eateries. Marie Skorish, one of the owners of the Uncle Louie restaurant in Scottsdale, not-ed that her restaurant started serving gluten-free options be-cause of customers’ requests. “The daughter of one of my customers has celiac disease,” Skorish said. It took years for the child to be diag-nosed with celiac, as it often the case with celiac patients. “They almost lost their child because of gluten,” Skorish related. “That was enough to get me moving.” Skorish and her hus-band Lou have owned Uncle Louie since 1997. Their son Michael is the restaurant’s chef. “We’ve always tried to accommodate any dietary needs,” Skorish said. “We can do a lot of special requests. Currently, Uncle Lou-

ie off ers gluten-free pizza and pasta. Other menu items can be made to order. “We do a lot of food items other than pizza,” Skor-ish said. Skorish noted that Uncle Louie staff asks custom-ers for their level of gluten tolerance. Certain precautions are always observed, including using separate pans and clean-ing the pans separately from other dishes. “You have to be very, very careful,” Skorish noted. Another gluten-free option in the north valley is Anthem’s Café Provence. Sarge Malki, who runs the family-owned restaurant, started off ering gluten-free op-tions after customers requested a gluten-free menu. “It’s a need,” Malki said. “We need to keep up with health needs.” Malki called Anthem a “family community,” saying that he since he operates a fam-ily restaurant, he wanted to be able to “off er family members whatever they need.” “Everything is pretty much cooked to order here,” Malki said. Café Provence’s gluten-free menu includes steak, chicken, pasta, beer, and dessert. “We can sauté calamari instead of breading it for gluten-free customers,” Malki said. To avoid cross-con-tamination, Café Provence chefs use a specifi c grill area for gluten-free dishes and use separate pans to sauté. “Everything is done completely separate,” Malki said. “We take it very seriously.” Living gluten-free is a challenge. Having the option to grab takeout for an easy dinner or being able to enjoy a sit-down dinner makes living gluten-free easier.

Like all skills, gratitude is best learned youngCourtesy of First Things First As Thanksgiving ap-proaches, it is the perfect time to teach young children a very important life lesson: gratitude. Barbara Lewis, author of What Do You Stand For? For Kids, teaches us children as young as 2 are aware that other people do things for them or give them things that make them happy. As children grow, this awareness turns into an un-derstanding of higher concepts, such as kindness and caring. As they mature further, they will learn to empathize and appre-ciate the feelings of others –

crucial skills for all adults. So, how do we teach our children to be grateful? Some tips gathered from child development experts and Web sites include:• Teach children to saythank you to everyone who does something for them – their server at a restaurant, the older sibling who helps them pick up toys, or the friend who buys them a birthday gift.• Talk about the thingsyou are grateful for. This can be everything from a blessing before dinner to reciting eve-ning prayers.

• Involve kids in choresat home. Nothing makes chil-dren appreciate the time and effort that goes in to different activities like doing the work themselves.• Support a charitableevent or organization. Whether you are donating old clothes or toys, participating in a food drive, or even baking cookies for a new neighbor, talk to children about what those actions means to those who receive the kindness. • Say no. It’s hard toteach gratitude to someone who gets everything they want.• Beconsistent.Likeallskills, gratitude is not learned in one lesson. The first five years of-fer the opportunity for children to develop the skills they need to be successful students and successful adults. Research shows that thankful people are usually more optimistic and are less depressed and stressed. So, when we teach our children to appreciate what they have – and what others do for them – we are helping them to become happier, healthier adults. First Things First partners with parents and communities to help all kids start school healthy and ready to succeed.

Pet of the Week: Gunner

Gunner

Hi, I’m Gunner – a gentle, intelligent, and family-friendly Labrador Retriever! I was in a loving home surround-ing by kids and other dogs, but sadly their circumstances have changed, and now I am look-ing for a new family. Anthem Pets has placed me in a wonderful fos-ter home…the best, in fact. My foster mom, Christine, is one of the best dog trainers in this area. She’s been working with me on basic commands, and I am learning really fast. She endearingly says I am your typical sweet-spirited lab. I am extremely loyal, loving, aff ectionate, patient,

good-natured, and eager to please. I crave human lead-ership and love to be around children and other dogs. I have never been around cats, but I am pretty easy-going, so a slow introduction would probably work just fi ne. I am energetic when at play, but I am pretty mellow otherwise and love to snuggle up and just be a couch potato. Did I mention I LOVE BELLY RUBS? If you’re looking for a great family dog, look no further – PICK ME! Gunner is approxi-mately 8 years old and fully vaccinated, neutered, and mi-crochipped. For more informa-tion, please call Anthem Pets at

(480) 287-3542, or email [email protected]. Gun-ner is eagerly waiting to meet his new forever family! If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help Anthem Pets, please consider making a do-nation so we can continue to rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Anthem Pets is a nonprofi t or-ganization serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Op-erating on donations only, it aims to fi nd forever homes for abandoned animals and return wayward pets to owners. For more information visit, www.anthempets.org.
