MCSO arrest 9 illegals in

AnthemSTAFF REPORT

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his deputies arrested a total of nine suspected illegal aliens following a bail out in the vicinity of Interstate 17 and Pioneer Road on Nov. 7.

At approximately 7:10 pm on Nov. 7, Sheriff’s deputies initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle on I-17 north of Pioneer Road. Approximately eight to ten occupants in the vehicle fled on foot heading eastbound into a neighborhood. Immediately deputies created a perimeter and with the use of the Sheriff’s helicopter and K-9 units, located three suspects; one hiding in a backyard of a resident, the others were hiding in a wash. After more than an hour, the search was called off with no other leads to follow.

On Thursday, Sheriff’s deputies received tips that the outstanding group of suspects from the previous night were at a Circle K in the area of Daisy Mountain Road and I-17. When deputies arrived, the suspects again fled on foot toward a local neighborhood Deputies, after an hour-long search, located and arrested six suspects.

Sheriff’s Human Smuggling Unit detectives learned that individuals paid between $2,000 and $3,000 to be illegally smuggled into the United States, their destination being Los Angeles.

coach Josiah McDaniel doesn’t even try to hide his enthusiasm as he prepares for the 2012-2013 season.

A year after the Jaguars set a school record for wins, during a 23-7 season, one in which they claimed the program’s first state tournament playoff win, McDaniel, said simply repeating last year’s level of success would be a disappointment for this year’s squad.

“This team’s potential is much higher,” he said. “What we did last year won’t be enough. The practices almost from the very beginning this season were very competitive. The intensity where

we’re at right now is where we finished last year.”

Led by senior center Samantha Young and sophomore guard Darian Slaga, a combo that combined to average more than 30 points per game last season, McDaniel returns the cornerstones of last season’s success.

What might be alarming to opponents of the Jaguars is that McDaniel said both players have taken their games to a different level.

For Young, who is set to sign her letter of intent on Thursday to play at Cal State Northridge next season, the biggest improvement is in her health.

“She had some tendinitis in her

Boulder Creek looks to build on record-setting season

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusBoulder Creek sophomore Darian Slaga averaged 18 points per game as a freshman. Coming off a school best 23-7 season a year ago, the Jaguars are expecting even better things during the 2012-2013 season.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusApproximately 300 people turned out Sunday in Carefree for their 4th annual Veteran’s Day celebration.

MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

On Veterans Day, one where America celebrates the sacrifices of its military men and women, it was Marcelle Chase, a Belgian-born woman, who was the most emotional speaker during Carefree’s 4th annual Veterans Day celebration.

Chase, long since a Carefree resident, shared with a crowd of approximately 300 people, her recollections of growing up during World War II.

At times teary-eyed, Chase recalled her childhood as Germany invaded her home land, sending her father to a concentration camp

in the process. She also saw homes in her neighborhood destroyed by bombs.

In describing the liberation by American soldiers Chase recalled the sound of American tanks rolling into her town.

“It is impossible to describe the happiness of their arrival,” she said. “They walked in and were waving, shaking hands and kissing girls. There were tears streaming down my face.”

Chase said the celebration was short-lived as Germans in the area launched an ambush attack sending them running

In an effort to foster the next generation of nature conservationists the Desert Foothills Land Trust is hosting an event they hope becomes a annual tradition.

“We see this as part of our community engagement work,” Sonia Perillo, the Executive Director of the Desert Foothills Land Trust said. “We wanted to do something to get people out on the preserve. These are the people that are going to care for these places a generation from now. We’re counting on them to be advocates for the preservation of these special properties.”

From 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday families are invited to the Jewel of the Creek Preserve in Cave Creek.

The Desert Discovery will allow children of all ages to explore the preserve, learn about the diversity of life in the desert and to examine the geology and archaeology underlying the landscape.

With groups such as Arizona Archaeological Society, Audubon Arizona, Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center, Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area and Wild at Heart along with Rural/Metro Fire Department the day will include a scavenger hunt of informational stations along the Harry Dalton Trail.

Children will receive a stamp at each station, and they’ll receive a goody bag for collecting all the stamps while viewing live raptors, crayfish collections in the creek, practicing corn grinding on a metate, searching for invertebrates living under rocks in the creek, or comparing the differences between a saguaro and a barrel cactus.

Attendees should wear hiking shoes and come prepared for fun, hands-on desert adventures.

“We’ve really put an emphasis on making the local community aware of this event through the schools in the Cave Creek Unified School District,”

Perillo said. “A lot of people might not even know the Jewel is here, but we think if we get them out there and they can get their hands dirty, have them put their hands in the creek that goes a long way to getting them to connect to the environment.”

Perillo said she’s hopeful the free event could draw upwards of 250 people.

Desert Foothills Land Trust works with landowners, communities and partners to protect important natural areas in the Arizona communities of Carefree, Cave Creek, north Scottsdale, north Phoenix, Anthem and New River. The Land Trust has permanently protected 620 acres on 17 preserves, many of which are open to the public for exploration and passive recreation. In 2010, the Land Trust was awarded accredited status by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission – a mark of distinction in the land trust community.

For information on the event call 480-488-6131 or go to dlft.org.

veterans from page 1 for cover. When she resurfaced she said the Americans had won the battle, but several of them had lost their lives.

“I couldn’t help, but think how so many died so far from home,” she said. “I will keep them in my heart until the day I die.”

Along with Chase’s emotional talk, Cactus Shadows High School teacher Barbara Hatch, recently named the 2012 Arizona History Teacher of the Year, spoke about the work of her students involved with the Veterans Heritage Project

The project has expanded over the last seven years from the Cave Creek school, to a total of 14 schools including one in Maryland. Students in the program interview veterans, video taping the encounter. The students then write stories about the veterans military experience. Each year the collection of stories is made into a book called “Since You Asked Arizona Veterans Share Their Memories”.

“We need you to pass on your stories to the next generation who will fight their own battles,” Hatch said. “Hopefully they’ll be able to learn lessons to prevent future wars, but if not at least they’ll have a better understanding of what you have sacrificed and why their sacrifice is worth while. You have an opportunity to inspire an appreciation in our youth. They need to understand the shoes they’re going to be asked to fill. Trust me the ones I work with, that have had the opportunity to talk to veterans

like you, they get it. They embrace that challenge.”

The interviews that Hatch’s students have conducted over the years have been sent to the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Hatch’s group has contributed a wealth of the some 85,000 stories they have on record. She said she hopes her students are responsible for taking that total beyond 100,000 in the near future.

To do so Hatch said she has aspirations of expanding the program not only to more schools in Arizona, but on a national scale.

“We understand with a lot of our veterans time is of the essence,” she said. “This year our annual will have two volumes as we are including interviews with 150 veterans.”

The day’s events, which took place at the Carefree Amphitheater, also included live music, and had other groups supporting military personnel speak.

A representative from Packages from Home spoke about their work sending soldiers boxes with food, hygiene items as well as recreational items, talked about the need for donations to help pay the shipping costs. She also said they need volunteers to help pack the boxes.

Colonel Gene Rafanelli of the Arizona Territorial Chapter of the Association of the United States Army talked about his group’s goal of eliminating homelessness among veterans by 2014.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusThe non-profit Veterans Heritage Project started by Cactus Shadows teacher Barbara Hatch and run by her students had a display up during Sunday’s Veteran’s Day event in Carefree.

knees last year that really slowed her down,” McDaniel said. “She was at the point of being in tears some days. This year she has been pain free and you see it immediately with how much better her agility is. She can move her feet much better.”

After averaging 11.9 points per game, which was second best on the team, and leading the squad in both rebounds (10.5) and blocks per game (2.5) the 6-foot-3 post figures to be counted on for bigger numbers this season.

“We want to make her more of a focal point with our offense,” he said. “The more touches she gets the better we’ll be. She has great hands, good feet and she is engaged. When I first got here she was more interested in just blending in on the team. Now she’s demanding the ball. It’s great to see the confidence. She knows she can dominate.”

And as good as his center is, McDaniel said Slaga should feel as though she is the best player on the floor every time she takes the court.

“I don’t want to over sell her, but she hasn’t even scratched the

surface of her potential,” the coach said. “She’s physically stronger than she was a year ago. She has become more of a complete player. Last year we relied too heavily on her offensively. She might not score as many points this year, but she’s a better passer, she’ll get more rebounds. She’s one of the hardest working kids I’ve ever coached.”

As a freshman the 5’7” underclassman burst on the scene by leading her squad offensively at 18.3 points per game. She also led the Jaguars in steals with 112, nearly four per contest.

“Last year I didn’t really know what to expect,” Slaga said. “I came from a small town and wasn’t sure how much I was going to be able to do. With all the games we’ve played this summer. We’re a lot more confident as a team because we’ve been in all sorts of situations and had success. We’re confident we’ll get back to the state playoffs and do better than we did last year.”

As for her personal goals Slaga said they’re not numbers based.

“My teammates voted me as a team captain,” she said. “They respect me enough to be a leader. I want to get everybody involved and be as encouraging as I can.”

With Slaga at the front of Boulder Creek’s full court pressure and Young protecting the basket on the back end McDaniel said his team will be tough to score on.

“Our speed will allow us to full court press,” he said. “We’re going to pressure the snot out of the ball every night.”

And as confident as the coach is about his two captains he said teams overlooking the Jaguars supporting cast will do so at their own peril.

“If you double Darian or Sam we’ve got other kids that will beat you,” he said.

The supporting cast includes a pair of speedsters in the backcourt as senior Delaney

Swader and freshman Haley Villegas will joing Slaga

Swader’s, junior year was slowed early due to an injury, but she finished strong down the stretch. The team is also excited about the impact Villegas should make.

“We’re not going to worry about who is playing point guard,” McDaniel said. “Whoever gets the ball will run it up the court as quick as they can. Hayley is a very talented ball handler. She’s very fast, and a\ good passer. She’ll be able to

facilitate the offense for us.”Aside from Young the Jaguars

interior players also include junior Olivia Ward, and sophomore Hannah Carter.

The coach also said junior Kali Morris likely will be looked to as a defensive stopper for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars open the season next week in Gilbert playing in the Highland Tournament, an opportunity to get a read on how they stack up early in the year beginning next week.

When asked to evaluate his team’s chances in the tournament as well as for the season McDaniel said he sees the maturation of his team as being critical.

“We’ve still got a lot of young players,” he said. “Playing intelligently, making good decisions with our passes, playing together are the things that are going to determine our success.”

The Jaguars roster also includes Leah Bassik, Alyssa Marchisio-Baer, Samika Mendoza, Amanda Palacios and Kianna Hamilton.

GAyLORD R. MORROW

Gaylord R. Morrow, 80, of New River died due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Oct. 24, 2012.

A 15-year New River resident, Gaylord was born in Parks, NE on June 12, 1932 to William and Edith Morrow.

Morrow spent much of his early life in Colorado where he attended high school. From there he joined the Navy before moving to Alaska where he spent much of his adult life in lumber camps and commercial fishing.

Since retiring in Arizona he made many friends with whom he shared a lot of his lifetime memories. He leaves behind family, friends and companions and although he has moved on to his next journey, his spirit will always remain in their heart.

STAFF REPORT

Anthem residents and business owners can expect to receive the Anthem Community Council’s (ACC) overview of the 2013 budget this month. Scheduled for a late November delivery, the Anthem community will receive, in the mail, the annual Budget-in-Brief booklet that highlights the ACC budget for 2013.

“Over the past three years,

the ACC has, and continues to, scrutinize our operations to find and implement opportunities for cost savings,” says Anthem Community Council CEO, Jenna Kollings. “This has resulted in over $1.5 million trimmed from the budgets over the course of three years, enabling us to absorb cost increases.”

For the sixth year in a row, the 2013 budget includes no increase in general ACC

assessments. The ACC

budget has three major funds:

the operating budget, the

community enhancement fund,

and the reserve fund. On Oct.

25, the budget was approved

unanimously by the ACC

Board of Directors at their

monthly meeting.

Arizona Musicfest’s Young Performers Recitals kick-off with the first of three performances at 2 p.m., Saturday at Vi at Grayhawk in Scottsdale.

Performance chairperson said. “You don’t want to miss this magical musical afternoon! And the concert is free, thanks to the generosity of our host, Vi at Grayhawk.”

The Young Performers Recital concerts are approximately an hour in length, a pleasant afternoon interlude, appropriate for everyone, and an introduction to live classical music for ages five and-up.

Each concert is followed by a Meet the Musicians reception. Music aficionados of all ages enjoy these short concerts and

about musical experiences.

STAFF REPORT

E-books are now available at Desert Foothills Library in Cave Creek. The electronic books are accessible to anyone with a valid DFL library card who has a Kindle e-reader or another device compatible with Adobe EPub, such as iPad and Nook.

“We currently offer nearly 450 titles in an e-books format. We expect our e-book demand will grow substantially,” said David Court, Library executive director.

To access the 450 titles, cardholders must visit the library’s website. Up to three books may be checked out at a time – for one or two weeks, depending on the title.

Since only two of the six major publishers permit library access to newly released

e-books, Desert Foothills Library is fortunate to have such a varied catalog, with more books to be made available each month. Children’s books will soon be offered, and e-books are a great alternative for those with print disabilities.

E-books are expensive, so the Desert Foothills Library formed a consortium called “Little Libraries That Could” with public libraries in Safford/Graham County, Wickenburg and the Clifton/Greenlee County. This was a necessary and fortunate partnership, since none of the four libraries could afford the program on their own. Funding for the project for Desert Foothills Library came from the general fund.

The Desert Foothills Library also offers classes to familiarize cardholders about the new

e-book program. Classes are free and offered twice monthly on Thursdays from 2-4 pm. The maximum class size is 16 people, and an RSVP is required.

The Desert Foothills Library, 38443 N. School House Road, Cave Creek 85331, is open daily and can be reached at 480- 488-2286. They currently offer more than 50,000 volumes, 2,000 movies, 2,000 audio books and various periodicals. The library also offers a special Southwest reference section to educate those interested about the art, history, geography and people who had an impact on the region.

For questions about the new e-book program, or to access an account, visit the library’s website at dfla.org.

opinions and letters

SHIELDS

The next m o r n i n g after an E l e c t i o n D a y d e f e a t , there is no place I know more

empty than the headquarters of the losing candidate.

Long gone are the bunting, balloons, the band, the open bar — and the hopes — of the night before. If the phone does ring, chances are it’s a creditor looking for her check. Campaign workers, now jobless and speaking softly, almost as though there’s been a death in the family, are busy updating, embellishing and printing their resumes.

In a hundred different places, members of the losing candidate’s party are doing their own individual postmortems of the defeat. And miraculously, those party folks invariably somehow all reach the same conclusion.

The identical reaction is happening again in the wake of Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s loss to Democratic incumbent Barack Obama.

Because a political party is a human institution, and because most of us humans will go to great lengths to avoid rejection, the first stage for explaining the defeat is to look outside of ourselves and to Blame the Losing Candidate.

This time, it was, of course, Mitt Romney’s fault. He was, we are told, too stiff, unnatural, emotionally distant and uninspiring. Just like four years ago, it had been John McCain’s fault (that risky VP pick, remember?). And before that, John Kerry’s Nantucket windsurfing had distanced him from ordinary voters, while Al Gore had earlier been so relentlessly unexciting that his Secret Service code name had been “Al Gore.”

After all the personality and character defects of the rejected standard-bearer have been stipulated, those on the losing side move directly to the most dangerous spot on the political compass, which I call Find the Gimmick. This is the search for an external factor to explain the party’s defeats.

When Franklin Roosevelt won the White House four times, Republicans conveniently discovered the reason: Roosevelt’s magical fireside chats to the nation.

If the GOP could just find someone as good on radio as FDR, they would be back on top.

And how did losing Democrats explain Ronald Reagan’s back-to-back landslides? “He’s terrific on TV” — as though the answer to the party’s problems would have been to put together a ticket of Steve Carell and Judge Judy. Other gimmicks the winning side has apparently taken

advantage of include mastery of the Internet, social networking, data mining and cellphones.

The most dangerous point of all on the political compass is the stage I call Blame the Customer. It wasn’t our party’s record or platform or hypocrisy the electorate might have objected to. No, the whole problem turns out to be the voters, themselves.

Deliberately overlooked in this rationalization of defeat is the fact that just a short while ago, when our side was winning elections, we celebrated these same voters for being so thoughtful, mature, patriotic and wise. But now when they prefer the candidate of the other party, we brand them selfish, mean-spirited, easily duped and lazy.

Recently sited at this stage was Rush Limbaugh, who said after the 2012 election, “In a country of children, where the option is either Santa Claus or work ... it’s tough to beat Santa Claus.”

The principal drawback to the Blame the Customer theory is that we really only have two political parties in this country. If you’re going to accuse a majority of the voters of being either ethical jellyfish or moral pariahs, you’re probably not going to win their support on a regular basis.

The final stage is Get Me a Winner! I no longer want to quibble about trivial issues differences. I’m just tired of losing. (This is how the GOP settled on Ike after 20 years in the wilderness and why Democrats are still smitten with Bill Clinton.) Can this candidate win back the White House? Good. Where do I sign up? How should I make out the check?

These, believe me, are the predictable stages following the agony of defeat.

Republicans suffering to accept election results

The military campaign continuesThe 2012 presidential

campaign is over. America’s military campaign in Afghanistan is not.

There have been three presidential elections since the war in Afghanistan erupted after the 9/11 attacks. By any measure, the war was all but invisible during this past campaign, with the candidates’ rhetoric and the media’s curiosity about the conflict hitting all-time lows.

Virtually ignoring a war being fought by thousands of fellow Americans during a presidential campaign is both unconscionable and unprecedented. I voted in this election, but after writing every week about extraordinary men and women who make tremendous sacrifices at home and abroad to protect our country, I did so with some initial apprehension.

But then I thought about my recent conversation with Senior Airman Angela Jackson, who is stationed at Bagram Air

Field in Afghanistan. She was about halfway through her first deployment when the Nov. 6 election took place, yet was too focused on her mission to worry about how much attention was being paid to Afghanistan back home. She joined the Air Force for bigger reasons.

“You would lay down your life for your co-worker,” Senior Airman Jackson told The Unknown Soldiers. “It’s hard to be selfish out here, even if you want to be.”

Jackson, 25, volunteered to serve in February 2009. Like all U.S. service members who have enlisted since 9/11, she knew deploying to a war zone was a strong possibility. Still, the brave young woman decided to leave her friends and family in Boise, Idaho, for Afghanistan, where snow-capped mountains serve as just about the only reminders of home.

“I’ve always liked to be part of (something) bigger than myself and being able to have the idea that you’re working

with other people toward something,” she said.

Since leaving for war, Jackson has communicated with her family through email, Facebook and Skype, but prefers to sit down and compose letters, much like the generations of U.S. troops who served before her.

“I do call them once in a while, but like I said, I mostly do the letter writing,” Jackson said.

Most of us take hugging our family members for granted.

For thousands of American troops still serving in Afghanistan, however, writing a letter is as close as they can get to their loved ones.

“It’s something physical ... it’s the only thing physical that I can give to my family,” Jackson said. “When they get my letter, they can hold it, touch it and read the words that I have to say.”

Jackson, who is serving at Bagram with the Air Force’s 455th Expeditionary Wing, helps lead an emergency

management team that’s in place to respond to the worst disasters that could befall an American base during wartime, including terrorist attacks.

“Our responses are in chemical, biological, radiation material and explosives,” the airman said.

American troops in Afghanistan also need to be prepared for accidents. Jackson recently coordinated logistics for a large drill simulating a helicopter crashing into a dining facility at Bagram.

“It’s very important for us to be ready,” she said. “And it’s very important out here because we need to be training in the environment we’re going to be in if something were to happen.”

As evidenced during nearly two years of constant campaigning, many politicians and pundits have turned the page on this war. But every single day, U.S. troops wake up on bases around Afghanistan and prepare for the worst, all while their families at home

wait, wonder and worry.Regardless of popularity or

political winds, however, our country continues to be blessed with selfless patriots like Senior Airman Angela Jackson, who deploy to Afghanistan so the rest of us don’t have to. But even though she’s fully committed to her mission, the brave airman still looks forward to coming home.

“I’m planning on seeing all my family and my friends, and getting back into the work environment,” she said.

Now that the presidential election is finally over, it is time for all of us to get back to the important work of supporting our troops. America is still at war.
