Tom Dunlap chuckles that he got kicked out of the only art class he ever took, way back during his high school days. Despite the early rejection the 62-year-old New River resident said he always knew he had a knack for creating things.
Up until recently though he never would have considered himself an artist, a label even now he doesn’t seem quite comfortable with.
“I’m just a hick from North Carolina having a ball making stuff,” he said. “I’m not really artsy-fartsy.”
While he is reluctant to accept the label, Dunlap has been alerted to the idea that he does have an artistic gift;
one he now hopes will ignite and perhaps burn brightly for the foreseeable future.
In Dunlap’s words he “paints with fire.” Armed with an inexpensive wood burning tool Dunlap burns and carves pictures into basswood.
The former mechanic’s current focus is completing a series of 12 historic fire trucks for the Hall of Flame, located at 6101 East Van Buren St. in Phoenix. The museum, with more than 90 fully restored pieces of fire apparatus on display dating from 1725 to 1969, already has the first five in the series that Dunlap has completed on display.

Ben Quayle, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona’s 3rd congressional district, spent more than an hour in Carefree Friday discussing issues facing the Congress with members of the Carefree Town Council and a handful of area residents.
“For far too long both Republicans and Democrats in Washington have spent money like drunken sailors,” he said. “We’ve got to get our financial house in order.”
North Valley communities celebrate Independence Day
MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR
Anthem and Cave Creek residents celebrated the Fourth of July over the weekend.
In Anthem families showed up in force for activities on Saturday in Anthem Community Park. From bounce houses to a variety of water slides children raced around the fields. The food court offered numerous dining and beverage options and a DJ playing tunes as well as leading contests and activities throughout the night.
Others spent the evening playing sports including basketball, football, soccer and Frisbee.
Anthem Idol Dave Hatley sang the National Anthem prior to the fireworks show.
While high winds early in the day subsided prior to Saturday’s event in Anthem, the weather impacted the festivities Sunday in Cave Creek.
A driving rainstorm sent patrons at Harold’s, who were there to listen to live music prior to the fireworks show, running for cover on the restaurant’s patio.
The storm, which lasted almost an hour, included not only rain, but also an impressive lightning show. Once the rain subsided, an abbreviated fireworks show took place.

Quayle opened the meeting by giving a brief overview about his first six months in office in which the rookie Republican expressed frustration over the lack of speed in which things are done.
“It has been a steep learning curve, but I’m not alone,” he said. “We’ve got 87 new Republicans and 100 new representatives overall so it’s
pretty exciting with so many people that are passionate about helping to set a direction for our country. In the House we’ve passed some good legislation with bi-lateral support only to see it go nowhere in the Senate.”
He then opened the floor to questions from the group that assembled at the Town Hall Council Chambers.
The economy was one of the main focuses.
“We’re working to try and get rid of drilling restrictions off the Gulf Coast and in Alaska,” Quayle said. “We could create more than a million jobs over the next decade by removing restrictions on business and reigning in regulatory agencies so we can tap into our abundant energy resources. We have the capability of being energy independent here in North America.”
Being supportive of business was one of Quayle’s themes throughout his visit.
“The President has chastised business for keeping its money on the sidelines, but you can’t
force them to spend their hard earned dollars,” he said. “We should be asking business what we can do to make them more willing to invest.”
In a global economy Quayle said there are far too many disadvantages for companies trying to do business in the United States.
He pointed out a 35 percent corporate tax rate and made an example of Boeing’s effort to open a second plant in South Carolina being nearly run aground by government agencies.
“When you talk to business owners, it doesn’t matter whether they’re small, medium or large, none of them have confidence,” he said. “They don’t know what the future will hold.”
“I’m not very optimistic myself,” he said. “I want 5 or 6 percent growth, but it’s just not happening. We have food prices, up as much as 40 percent as we give out ethanol subsidies. We need to get rid of those
subsidies and start using our plants and grains for sustenance rather than fuel.
As for the banking industry and the housing market Quayle said the government programs have come at a big ticket price, but for the most have failed to aid those home owners that it was intended to benefit.
The ominous nature of a growing national debt has Quayle and his colleagues very concerned.
“Unfortunately we have 23 Senate Democrats that are up for reelection and they don’t want to have their people in the position to make tough votes,” he said. “They’re moving so slow.”
When the discussion turned to the home front, here in Arizona, the forest fires and illegal immigration were the two main issues.
“It’s a shame that some of the prettiest country in Arizona, up there in the Northeastern part of the state will be lost for generations in terms of the beauty,” he said. “We can
bring in private enterprise to help. They’ll get particle board and we’ll have forests that are thinned properly so these things can’t happen on such a large scale.”
Quayle said one of the most challenging aspects in fixing Arizona’s issues with illegal immigration and drug smuggling is making people aware of the magnitude of the problem.
“I’d love to bring everyone in Washington down here to see the garbage piled on the Mexican side of Nogales so high that they can literally step over the fence marking the border or see the intricate tunnels being built to bring drugs into this country,” he said. “We’ve made some progress in Yuma, but Tucson is still a mess. We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
While Quayle’s comment was centered on the amount of work facing the legislature in regards to fixing the drug trafficking issue, his overall tone suggested that the sentiment rings true in much broader terms.

STAFF REPORT
On The Towne, Anthem’s only no-cut, no-audition children’s theatre for ages 5 – 14, has released its schedule of shows for the upcoming season.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (starts Aug. 23rd)
Audience members will meet the Princess Snow White, the prince, the evil queen and, of course, the seven mischievous dwarfs in the musical adaptation. There’s also a palace cat and an enchanted vixen. Following the traditional storyline, the fairy tale is brought to life with an eclectic score of tunes.
Nutcracker (early winter)
This unique version of The Nutcracker captures the magic and fantasy of the ballet story without requiring extensive choreography. On Christmas Eve, the mysterious Godfather Drosselmeier presents Marie with an unusual Nutcracker. That night she is awakened by a band of renegade mice, led by the evil Mouse King. The Nutcracker, joined by a Ballerina, Feline Legation and Mistress Clara, battle the rodents, and Marie defeats the Mouse King by hitting him with her slipper. The heroes travel to the Land of Toys to rescue Princess Pirlipat from the wicked Mouse Queen, including Sweet Tooth and the cowardly mouse Rudi. The Nutcracker and the princess are reunited, the curse is broken, and Marie returns home with her toys to celebrate Christmas with her family.
The Magic Machine (late winter)
Calvin is a slight youngster who can’t compete with the more athletically inclined kids in the neighborhood. A wise magician lends him an old “Magic Machine.” Through its erratic powers Calvin, his best friend Jenny, and a lost dragon drop into odd versions of three fairy tales. In “The Three Little Bears” Calvin stops the bears
from eating them for dinner and teaches the bears how to be happy. In “Rumpelstiltskin” Calvin helps the miller’s daughter by shouting out the evil little man’s name, and in the third story, “Alice in Wonderland,” Calvin stops the court from capturing the three of them with the use of his yo-yo. Finally the dragon gets to return to Camelot and Calvin and Jenny find themselves back on the street where they first found the Magic Machine. Calvin now realizes that his own gifts are equally important as physical prowess. The show’s songs include “Being Different,” “Making Magic,” “Whenever You Smile,” and others.
The Big Bad Musical (Spring)
This smart and humerous musical has appeal for actors and audiences of any age. The jury — the audience — must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairy-tale world. The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters who want to get even: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after. As our wronged fairy tale characters testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. Yet, even though the infamous Evil Stepmother resents doing pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one? This musical has multiple endings to make every performance unique along with Bill Francoeur’s tunes.

STAFF REPORT
Construction workers have begun the process of grading the land in preparation for the new parking lot at Cactus Shadows High School.
The plan calls for workers to replace the asphalt, line the parking lot, repair the drainage and build a new bus lane behind the school before school starts on Aug. 11.
The new lot will have 450 parking spaces, 60 more than the old one.
The parking lot overhaul is part of a bigger project at the high school, which will also include the construction of a classroom building in front of the gym. The 38,000-square foot building will sit on the east side of the campus.
In other news involving the Cave Creek Unified School District the district is looking to find a tenant for Desert Arroyo Middle School. The district, which closed the middle school last year, is looking to lease the space to a pair of private schools.
The district already has a relationship with Bella Vista Private School, which was based in the district’s Learning Center during the 2010-2011 school year, at Dove Valley Road and 60th St in north Scottsdale.
Bella Vista would take over one classroom building and the student services building, which houses the lobby, nurse’s and counseling offices, storage rooms, the bookstore and several classrooms and restrooms.
Bella Vista is a college-preparatory school with approximately 70 students. The school, a K-12 will have its first class of seniors during the 2011-2012 school year.
The second school interested in taking advantage of the opening at DAMS is Quality Interaction Montessori, which
is based across 56th Street from Desert Arroyo.
The school is looking to lease approximately 5,800 square feet, to serve its 105 students. The rental rate would be approximately $2,900 per month for the year.
In total, the two schools would lease about 15,000 square feet of Desert Arroyo, which totals about 110,000 square feet. They would also have use of the school’s fields.
Cactus Shadows undergoes facelift
Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusCactus Shadows High School is having its parking lots overhauled in preparation for the 2011-2012 school year. In addition to replacing asphalt, repainting lines and repairing the drainage the new parking lot will have 60 additional parking spaces for students. The 2011-2012 school year starts Aug. 11.

fire trucks, for five years before being laid off last year.
After getting laid off Dunlap turned to art to keep him busy, a trend that has consistently resurfaced through his life.
“I was living in California in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s and I hurt my knee pretty bad,” he said. “I needed a cane to get around and this old guy I was working with gave me this set of carving tools and suggested I should make myself my own cane.”
Dunlap said he started to get pretty intricate with his carving skills until he had to have back surgery due to some nerve issues. The surgery left him weak in the legs, which adversely affected his ability to carve. It was at that point that he started experimenting with his current art form, using the instrument to burn the wood.
“I like the smell of the wood and the smell when it’s burning,” he said. “It’s really challenging to get it right. If you make a mistake you end up spending a lot of time sanding to fix it. My work, it’s really meditative. Sometimes I’ll sit there all day. This house could be on fire and I wouldn’t know it.”
After working as a repair man on fire trucks for five years, Dunlap said choosing them as a subject matter was an obvious choice.
“I want things to be realistic, so if I don’t have the expertise I
need to find people that do and talk to them,” he said.
After finishing the burning/carving process Dunlap adds color to his pieces.
In addition to the fire trucks he helped a friend illustrate a book on successfully playing Craps.
Western art, specifically focusing on horses and cowboys, is another area Dunlap thinks he might be able to find a market.
“The wood burning gives it an aged look,” he said. “I think focusing on rodeo events and that sort of thing makes a lot of sense especially in this area.”
Beyond his “fire with art” endeavors, Dunlap also takes on other projects putting his creative skills to use, whether it’s building a spice cabinet with a carving of a dragon on the doors, a drum holder, a walking stick made out of the skeleton of a cactus, or a new lamp just to name a few.
“I can see things in my head,
how they’ll come together and usually I can make what I envision,” he said.
The New River resident, since 2002, has a workshop with a sign over the door emblazed “Tommy Town, Where all things are weird,” in his backyard where he says he has everything he needs to thrive.
“I’ve got my television with the satellite, a fridge full of beer, my tools and some wood,” he said. “I like it out here. I can make a mess and it doesn’t matter.”
The Army Veteran, who served from 1966-69, said he spent 25 years driving an 18-wheeler alone with his thoughts as he dealt with his military experience.
Now he says his lifetime full of experiences serve him well.
“My wife and I have been married 27 years and I remember telling her when we got married that we might not ever be rich, but we’ll have an interesting life,” he said. “I’ve done a lot and I think it helps me have a perspective for my art. The greatest thing is when you move somebody with something you’ve made. That’s what it’s all about.”

MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR
Perhaps calling it a dream team is a bit strong, but Cactus Shadows High School principal Steve Bebee said he has contemplated pinching himself upon completing a summer’s worth of coaching hires.
With the help of athletic director Rich Swearengin the Falcons administration managed to overhaul a coaching staff that lost four coaches from prominent sports in football, boys basketball, wrestling and baseball.
The hiring of Gaetano Gianni at the June 15 Cave Creek Unified School board meeting completed the quartet of new additions.
“We’ve just added a phenomenal bunch,” Bebee. “I’m not sure how you could do much better than we fared. They are all great role models for our students.”
A pool of approximately 25 candidates was narrowed to five, which earned interviews, before Bebee talked to the pair of finalists.
In Gianni, who has spent the past nine seasons at Notre Dame Prep Academy, Bebee is confident that the Falcons can finally end the revolving door with the baseball program, which will see Gianni become the fourth coach in four years.
The new coach said that while it was tough to leave a program that he got off the ground nine years ago, the move made a lot of sense.
“One thing I always saw
when I coached against Cactus Shadows was they were tough kids,” he said. “They won’t give up. I don’t think that will change at all. Kids are kids. If you treat them a certain way they’ll respond. If you’re surrounded by good people you have a chance to be successful. I got the impression both the principal and the athletic director will be there for a while and they both have great intentions. I’m confident in both those guys, so that made it easier.”
One of the draws for Gianni was being closer to home, as he and his wife, Danica, who is
the varsity softball coach for the Falcons, live in Cave Creek.
“He didn’t have any concerns with the situation because he’s a part of the community and knew the history of Cactus Shadows baseball,” Bebee said. “I wanted an experienced coach that knows what it means to run a program. I also got a role model for our kids, a class act with high standards and high ethics.”
Beyond those qualities Gianni brings instant credibility to the program as the 41-year-old was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 1988, playing four years of minor league ball before getting
involved with coaching.After a stint coaching at the
junior college level he was offered the job to start up the Notre Dame Preparatory High School program.
“I thought it was pretty intriguing, getting to start a program from the ground up and shape it the way you feel it should be put together,” Gianni said. “I tried to instill a strong worth ethic in the kids.”
Beyond vying for success on the field Gianni said one of his biggest efforts was helping his players get to the next level, whether it was getting drafted or
getting a college scholarship.“He makes that a priority
Bebee said, noting that Notre Dame had two players selected in this year’s amateur draft. “Because he has experience in professional baseball he can help players understand the process of getting drafted. He advocates hard for his kids.”
This year’s Saints team saw right handed pitcher Tayler Scott get drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the fifth round and second baseman Casey Scott taken in the 47th round by the Colorado Rockies.
Gianni said he also took pride in building the baseball facility
on a limited budget, adding bleachers, a snack bar and most recently a press box over the years.
“We accomplished a lot, so it was tough to leave Notre Dame,” he said. “It was a very positive chapter in my life, but I like the challenge in front of me.”
While he comes to a program that has been on the coaching carousel Gianni hardly takes over a program bereft of talent.
Despite playing for three different coaches in the last three years the Falcons have gone a combined 58-26, good for a 69 percent winning
percentage. The team also
made the state tournament
all three years, something
Gianni is aware of.
“It’s not like I’m walking into
a program that went 7-20,” he
said. “I know there is talent
there. I’m taking over a program
that has had some success. Now
I have to see if I can implement
some of the things I like to do
and see if we can’t take things to
another level.”
Bebee said he is confident the
Falcons have taken a step to
elevate the baseball program.
“This was a steal for Cactus
Shadows,” he said.

“I’m not sure how you could do much better than we fared. They’re all great role models
for our students.”- Cactus Shadows principal Steve Bebee

STAFF REPORT
This is a scaled down, North Valley focused, version of the weekly fishing report produced by Arizona Game and Fish. To view the complete listing go to http://azgfd.net/artman/publish/FishingReport/J30-Fishing-Report.shtml
LAKE PLEASANT - Water level is at 1,690 feet (86-percent full). There have been some reports of stripers busting shad in the morning but it sounds like it can be hit or miss. Look for the boils on the surface. Bass are generally in the post-spawn mode and have moved off points and deeper mouths of coves. Early morning topwater can be good, but generally fish have switched to the summer mode where dropshotting at night can be very productive. Drop-shotting is the technique of choice, tight lines. Power Worms, jigs, Carolina-rigs and Westy Worms are proven producers. Catfish should be biting well at night on hotdogs and shrimp.
BARTLETT – Lake level is at 1,763 feet (55-percent full). Bass fishing is good. Again early and late with night fishing should be the most productive right now. Crawdad imitations and worming rigs (drop shots and Texas-rigs) are producing. Some anglers are picking up good numbers of crappies in the 2-pound range under lights. This is a good time to switch to night fishing for crappies: they are mostly in the post-spawn mode. This is an excellent time to
target flathead and channel catfish. Bluegills are on the beds and big flatheads can often be found raiding those nests in the backs of coves or along rocky ledges. Use live bait such as bluegill or small carp for the flatheads and shrimp, hotdogs or stink bait for the channels. Remember the live bait most come from the lake itself (excluding minnows, water dogs or worms) not transported from another body of water! This is a good time to take the kids bluegill fishing. Mealworms and a small bobber in the backs of rocky coves can be the ticket.
SAGUARO - Lake level is 1,524 feet (92-percent full). Fishing is decent for largemouth bass. Some are being caught with drop-shot rigs as well as Texas and Carolina rigged worms. Yellow bass can be caught jigging spoons (quarter-ounce KastMaster) or cut bait. Yellows can be caught in the Butcher Jones Cove area. Another good area for yellows is near Ship Rock and the no wake buoys in the channel. Try to locate shad in 40-60 feet of water and jig through them. Catfishing should be improving. Try stink baits, hotdogs or shrimp. There is a certified scale at the marina to get an official weight and still release your catch. Two witnesses are needed for the weight to be official.
APACHE - Lake is 91-percent full at 1,906 feet. Fishing has been good for yellow bass. Yellow bass fishing should be good on jigs and spoons. Gold KastMasters can work especially
well. Fish for them around balls of shad in 20-60 feet of water. Cut bait also works well for them. There is a certified scale at the marina boathouse.
CANYON - Lake is 96-percent full at 1,656 feet. Bass fishing has transitioned to dawn/dusk and then good at night. For bass, drop shotting (fish slow, letting the worm rest on the bottom for a few seconds at a time) is still the method of choice. Senkos and Westy Worms have also been catching fish. Night fishing for bass is also good at this time. This is also a great lake for yellow bass; jig spoons in and around balls of shad. We have received several reports from anglers catching good numbers of larger bluegill. Try meal worm under a slipbobber.
VERDE RIVER – Fishing has been poor for largemouth, smallmouth and catfish. Remember that no baitfish can be transported into this part of the river (above Horseshoe). For further information concerning regulations, call the Arizona Game and Fish Department at (480) 324-3544. This morning flow was 87 cfs at Tangle Creek station above Horseshoe Lake. LOWER SALT RIVER (below Saguaro Lake) – Rainbow trout will be stocked this week at Blue Point Bridge and Water Users Park. Try inline spinners, Power Bait or drifting night crawlers. Fly-fishing can be good with nymphs and Wooly Buggers. We have mixed angler reports: some aren’t catching many fish, others are catching limits. Some bass can be found in the portion above the Verde confluence. Fish early or late to avoid the barrage of inner tubes
Catch any whoppers lately? Email photos of your recent catch to [email protected] with the name of the angler, the time, date, the name of the lake, the kind of fish caught and weight and length if you know it along with the kind of bait/lure used to make the catch and you could see it on the newspaper’s Facebook page (facebook.com/TheFoothills.Focus).

STAFF REPORT
Arizona Musicfest honored Karen Nguyen of Chandler as the Roberta K. Pappas Scholarship recipient for 2011. Nguyen graduated from Corona del Sol High School in Tempe and will be attending the Arizona State University School of Music, Bachelor of Music program in Piano Performance.
The scholarship recognizes Roberta K. Pappas, the first Managing Director of Arizona Musicfest who devoted 14 years to building the organization and died, tragically, in October 2007. To honor her devotion to young artists, the Arizona Musicfest Board of Directors and volunteers created the Roberta K. Pappas Scholarship. These monies help underwrite the conservatory education of student musicians pursuing a degree in music performance.
The scholarship selection committee is comprised of leaders in the music education and music performance industries. Led by a former Chairman of the Board, John Terhune, it consists of representatives of the Valley’s most important organizations dedicated to young musicians.
“All of the students applying for the Roberta K. Pappas Scholarship were exceptionally qualified both academically and artistically,” said selection committee chairman John Terhune. “It is striking to witness
the exceptional talent that we have from across Arizona.”
In addition to receiving the Roberta K. Pappas Scholarship, Nguyen has been recognized by the Phoenix Symphony Guild with scholarships two years in a row to Adamant Music School Summer Program in Adamant, Vermont. She has received the Superior Award from the Arizona Study Program; first prize in the East Valley Music Teachers’ Association Competition; various prizes in the Schimmel Young Artist Piano Competition at Arizona State University; finalist in the World Pedagogy Piano Conference sponsored by the Maryland State Music Teachers Association; and winner of the Arizona Musicfest Young Musicians Competition in 2008 and 2011. She has been active in the Autism Advocates; Acatecs, which provides tutoring to peers; and “To Haiti, with Music,” a program to promote awareness of the problems in Haiti.
Arizona Musicfest is a nonprofit organization of volunteers that hosts “America’s Premier Winter Music Festival” every February, supports youth education and young musicians performances, and is dedicated to bringing great music into the communities.

STAFF REPORT
The Foothills Caring Corps, a volunteer based non-profit organization serving the greater NE Valley, is seeking volunteers to share their talent, skills and time with the organization whose primary mission is to allow the elderly to remain independent and living in their homes.
Known for such programs as van transportation, medical transportation, mobile meals, minor home repair and friendly visits, the Caring Corps sees its volunteer force decrease drastically during summer months. “Nearly 40 percent of our volunteers leave town during summer months, while our need for services remains steady,” said executive director Debbra Determan
According to Determan, who refers to program recipients as “neighbors,” the organization simply could not exist without volunteers like the ones who donated more than 41,000 hours of service to the organization in 2010.
The Foothills Caring Corps aims to provide a rewarding and gratifying experience for both the volunteer and the neighbor. Volunteers are given training, guidance and monitoring to ensure a quality experience. They are allowed to self-select areas in which they would like to be involved and are not required to contribute a minimum
number of hours.“The Caring Corps opens their
arms to people with a variety of skills levels, talent and interests. Everyone has something to contribute.”
The Foothills Caring Corps was established in 2000 and has grown to become a stronghold in the community for senior services. According to Determan, the organization has seen a 27% increased need in services this year.
Elda Pierpan of Scottsdale is a volunteer who assists with a variety of programs. She said the experience has enriched her already full life. An active retiree, Pierpan recently helped a neighbor plant flowers in her garden. “I think I get as much satisfaction out of the program as they neighbors I assist.”
The organization conducts monthly Volunteer Orientation sessions. The next sessions are scheduled for Thursday, July 14 and Thursday, August 11 from 9 – 11 a.m. at the Foothills Caring Corps offices located at 7275 E. Easy Street, Suite B103, Carefree. RSVP is recommended.
“There’s no time like the present. We encourage you to become involved and make a difference your community. Whether you prefer to attend a Volunteer Orientation session or call us directly for information, we encourage you to take the first step to make a difference in someone’s life,” said Determan.
For information, or to RSVP, call the Foothills Caring Corps at 480-488-1105.

Cave Creek Museum’s “Write with Light” Photography Competition will announce its winners during a reception and exhibit from 4:30 – 6 p.m. on Saturday at the Desert Foothills Library.
The free event will include the work of 30 photographers including 24 semifinalists and the six winners.
The competition was formerly part of the Cave Creek Film and Arts Festival.
“We are pleased that the Museum could step in and continue this wonderful competition after the Cave Creek Film & Arts Festival dissolved,” Evelyn Johnson, the Museum’s execuite director said. “Since photos are such an important part of our history here in Cave Creek, the Museum
is a logical partner to facilitate capturing today’s history for tomorrow with photos that tell the story through the photographer’s eyes.”
Professional photographer Jerry Sieve, famous for his photos published in Arizona Highways and who has helped in putting the contest together, said the pair of judges that considered more than 100 entries looked for a couple things in picking six winners, three in the adult category and three in the youth category, which was for ages 12-18.
“The easiest thing to say is simplicity,” Sieve said. “Photographs tell stories,” he said. “They’re a visual art form, but if somebody is looking at an image and doesn’t understand it because there is too much information in the shot they’ll be confused and stop looking at it.
The camera shows everything. People have a tendency to focus on one thing and fail to notice the whole frame. Our best ones have a clear focus.”
First place in the adult division receives $750, followed by $500 for second place and $250 for third place. The youth division gives $250, $100 and $50 to its top three finishers.
When it comes to subject matter Sieve said the entries run the gamut.
“We’ve got everything from a dancer to landscapes, a lot of flowers and wildlife, but then we have entries where it’s hard to figure out what they are,” he said.
The Desert Foothills Library is located at 38443 North School House Road in Cave Creek. For information, call 480-488-2764, or visit www.cavecreekmuseum.org

JUDy BLUHMSPECIAL FOR
THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS
Do you like going for a nice, leisurely bicycle ride? It seems bike riding can bring out quite a crowd, especially when it is a “naked ride.” Yes, that’s right, Dear Readers, thousands of bicyclists showed up a few weeks ago in Portland, Oregon for the World Naked Bike Ride. Evidently, this event is designed to promote the use of bicycles for transportation and the need to replace fossil fuel with “natural power.”
So why take off the clothes? Phoenix resident, Brooklyn Jay, who participated in the ride, was quoted as saying that “it was the most liberating, natural feeling possible.” Okay, so maybe I get a little grossed out at the thought of watching a bunch of people peddling around butt-naked. Possibly you have to be in Portland, land of cool
breezes and soothing rain, to really understand the attraction. Of course, a naked bike ride on a summer day in Phoenix could only result in third degree burns, if not death.
I suppose we desert dwellers might occasionally aspire to participating in greater cultural events, but when it is triple digits, just walking across a parking lot becomes pretty difficult. We can’t have all of those outdoor
festivals, picnics in the park, jazz concerts under the stars and naked bike rides like some places can enjoy. However, I do recall that Shangri La in New River hosted a “bare back” horseback ride (and we’re not talking about riding without a saddle), but I think that was in the autumn.
Well, this is summer and no running around barefoot or naked for us Phoenicians. I try to hold off on my usual rant about our summer temperatures until at least August, but the last few days of scorching, sweltering, extreme heat has made me wonder how any of us survive. Getting into a parked car, walking the dog on pavement, holding hands with a loved-one, playing outdoor sports, cooking, walking, even breathing can be downright dangerous.
Living in the Valley of the Constant Burning Sun, makes us a practical bunch. We don’t have the time or energy to give much
thought to nonsense, like riding a bicycle stark naked for a few miles. We aren’t going to bother with sports or fitness when we have to plan our outdoor steps and activities as carefully as a moonwalk. Are we missing out? I guess it’s just not cool enough here for us to be “cool.”
A recent transplant from New York emailed me to say that Phoenix is the only place she has ever lived where she can’t walk outside between the hours of noon and six for fear of sudden death due to heat exposure. When I told her that she will get used to it, she accused me of living in hell and not recognizing it. Hey, those are harsh words! Or could that be the “naked truth?” Hmmm… try to stay cool until next week, when our temperatures might dip to a balmy 108 degrees.

Throughout the month of July, el Pedregal will feature a new artist exhibit called “Cosmogony & Infinite Triangle Series” by Bela Fidel. The artist creates an emotional pull by the tension between the abstract shapes and geometric figures. She uses shapes such as the circle and triangle to represent Man’s striving for unity and harmony with the cosmos. The message in this series is optimism, depicted in strong, bold and lush colors influenced by her South American background.
Fidel says, “I create visual excitement in my work by combining geometric imagery that is rooted in the mystical/occult teachings, with brush strokes that typify expressive abstract paintings. The object of my work is to go beyond the realm of the singular to the realm of the universal; the range of dynamics that inhabits each person. Some, that are peaceful and orderly and others that are
more dynamic and aggressive. I am an artist that is in love with the process of creating.”
Fidel is known for her abstracts, oils, encaustic, endangered/exploited species, flight, mixed media, creation of the word triptych, and portrait of an artist series. Fidel is engaged in an ongoing process of experimentation and exploration, to discover innovative ways to capture the viewer in a visual experience that
is both “unique and timeless, immediate and transcendent,” she says.
Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Fidel began her art education in Brazil, later studying in the United States at many schools throughout Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix and Scottsdale. El Pedregal is located at 34505 North Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale

STAFF REPORT
The Town of Cave Creek wants to make going solar easier. As part of the Save-a-Watt program to cut energy usage, the town is partnering with Arizona SmartPower to encourage homeowners to install solar.
“Despite its affluence and one of America’s sunniest locations, Cave Creek has relatively few solar installations,” said Cave Creek Mayor Vincent Francia, who read a proclamation at a recent council meeting supporting solar. “Solar saves money, reduces pollution and fights hikes in power rates. Now is the time to take advantage of financial incentives for solar, before they drop.”
People sometimes ponder solar but never get to the action stage, said Toni Bouchard, state director of Arizona SmartPower, a nonprofit organization working with APS to promote solar power.
“Like most concepts that are new to us and a bit complicated, installing solar can be confusing,” Bouchard said. “We’re working
with Save-a-Watt to give consumers the information and confidence that drives them to take action.”
Bouchard said SmartPower will employ grassroots community outreach through 2015 to motivate people, building a corps of solar ambassadors already using solar who share experiences with friends and neighbors. She said a solar coach will offer unbiased advice, helping Cave Creek homeowners assess costs and savings, choose equipment and find qualified installers.
“Our services are free and we don’t accept commissions,” Bouchard said. “Our solar coach has been trained to walk you through each step of the process.”
Green Cave Creek and the town jointly run the Save-a-Watt, which helps residents save energy and save money through easy conservation steps and initiatives including deeply discounted energy audits for residents and businesses. To sign up, visit CaveCreek.org/GreenCaveCreek.

Babe is a 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix. She was found more than five months ago wandering the streets of Phoenix. She had just had babies and was lost. She was taken back to the location for two days in a row trying to find her babies to no avail. Her depression at the loss of her puppies has eventually led to her turning to people to get the love and attention she craved.
She is a very affectionate dog that loves belly rubs and lots of affection. She is less than 2 years old and playful and loves the water. She is house trained, and rides very calmly and quietly in the car. Babe has been in a foster home for the last four months and although her foster care is excellent she is not in a home with people every day as she craves to be.
Babe has been spayed, and vaccinated and has a brand new microchip that is waiting to have your name registered as her new forever home. For information on adopting Babe call Marie at the Fetch Foundation at 602-617-2656

O’Reilly joins the Glee Club
Although they have not made it an especially big deal, some conservative Americans object to the Fox program “Glee” because it is a politically correct extravaganza that often deals with sexuality among teenagers. This season, actress Gwyneth Paltrow provided some sizzle that awakened any parent in the room, I’ll tell you that.
But there is an important social upside to the show. Gays, physically challenged people and overweight kids are all put in a positive light compatible with the show’s liberal tone. An occasional verbal shot at Fox News solidifies “Glee’s” PC presentation.
The other day on Long Island, a live “Glee” concert troupe sold out two shows at the Nassau Coliseum, grossing more than $2 million in the process. The crowd was predominately white, middle-class teens, many accompanied by their parents who seemed to enjoy the presentation. This was a rather staid event compared to Lady Gaga or your standard-issue rapper. No profanity, songs with lyrics you could understand, and
d a n c i n g w i t h o u t much groin activity.
In other words, the “ G l e e ” concert was c lean-cut ,
and the young people loved it. The trendiness that “Glee”
embraces on the tube doesn’t much bother me, and I like the fact that chubby performers are often front and center. Also, the kid in the wheelchair is a great singer, and his presence sends an anti-stigma message, as well. So there is much good in the program.
At this point in America, young people are being barraged with tattooed vulgarians who dominate the rock and reality-show worlds. Kids see antisocial behavior, hear poor grammar and understand that crude conduct is often rewarded with fame and fortune. You don’t have to go to the “Jersey Shore.” Just show up at your local beach or pool this summer, and you’ll see young boys and girls with body ink and piercings all over the place. Do these children not have parents? Are there no mirrors in their homes?
The “Glee” crew is basically clean-cut, and do you know what? It’s refreshing. That’s
right, it’s nice to see some young Americans on stage who don’t look like living zombies or Charles Manson. I’m not asking for a comeback from The Kingston Trio or an Up with People convention. I’m just promoting equal time as far as grooming is concerned.
Also, the PC stuff on “Glee” is in context. It doesn’t slap you in the face like the faux trendy garbage you see on the nightly news, for example.
In person, the “Glee” kids perform well and seem pleased to be entertaining people. Their songs are upbeat, the primary message is “don’t hurt anybody,” and the performers give you your money’s worth.
Yeah, it’s positively gleeful. And I’m happy about it.

F o r m e r S t a t e Tr e a s u r e r D e a n M a r t i n s u g g e s t e d that I write a column about the
top ten funniest things heard in court. Some items on such a list might not be completely appropriate for a newspaper column. Some items on the list I made might be more odd than funny; but they did all really happen since I have been a judge at the North Valley Justice Court. So, in David Letterman style, here they go.
10From a lady requesting an
order of protection, “Could you issue something that says it’s okay if he comes over when he is nice?”
9At least three times per day
from someone who has either a warrant or a suspended license or both for failure to pay a fine or for failure to pay restitution: Defendant, “I just want to take care of this.” Judge, “Great, how much can you pay today?” Defendant, “Well, nothing today.”
8Through an interpreter and
in response to a Game and Fish ticket: Defendant, “We are really sorry. We kill javelina all the time in Mexico and since my brother killed it, I thought we might as well eat it.”
7Hint to women: If you are
going to claim some type of financial hardship, then it might be a bad idea to show up to court with an $800 purse. Hint for everyone: If you are going to claim some type of financial hardship, don’t show up to court with “fresh” tattoos.
6A defendant once told me
that he would not pay his fines
because he did not recognize U.S. currency because our country is no longer on the gold standard. I told him that if he wanted to pay his fine in gold, we would find a way to make that happen.
5A DUI defendant told me
that he did not report to self-surrender for his jail time because he had been homeless.
4During a landlord and tenant
trial: Tenant: “Who are the kids in these pictures playing with my children’s toys?” Landlord: “They are the realtor’s children.” (The pictures were taken while the tenants were on vacation. They triggered an abuse of access counterclaim.)
3A DUI defendant asked me
whether I had seen his “actual client” television commercial for a law firm. I told him that I had not; but commented that perhaps the pay from the commercial could help him pay his fines. He said he was not paid and did the advertisement in the hope that he would be “discovered” to do commercials for other businesses.
2A lady requested that I issue
an order of protection against a man because every time she went to his house, he would give her alcohol and she would end up staying overnight.
1Judge: “Did you tell me that
you shot the Defendant when you requested that I issue an injunction against harassment against him?” Plaintiff: “I may have left that out your honor.”
Judge Gerald Williams is the presiding justice of the peace for the Northwest Regional Court Center. His column appears monthly in The Foothills Focus.

Still waiting for your life preserver? Well, you are not alone.Despite all the wishful thinking, our economy is slowing, home prices are falling, and government
initiatives are only helping the Big Banks. Meanwhile, Moody’s Analytical recently predicted that it
will be 2035 before Phoenix home prices are back to 2006 levels. If you are one of the hundreds of
thousands of Phoenix residents desperately underwater, then it may seem bleak, but you have
options. The [HOLT] Group has helped countless families avoid foreclosure and turn this terrible
situation into a positive. We can help you too! BUT, the time to take action is now!
