Quartet of North Valley teens head to national competitionmARC BUCKHOUT
mANAGING EDITOR
It’s a sport where mindset is as much an indicator of success as athletic talent.
“Body type isn’t as important in trampoline as it is in gymnastics,” explains North Valley Gymnastics instructor Chelsea Burns. “What you need in this sport is the kid that has the fearless attitude. There are injuries in this sport, but by learning how to fall we minimize the chance of them as much as we can.”
As the 4th of July draws near the gym, at 20815 N. 28th St., just northeast of the 101 off of the Cave Creek exit, will have four of its high level athletes competing in Nationals, which are set for July 2 – 10 in Kansas City, Missouri.
The quartet includes 16-year-olds Daniel Pendleton and Lauren Lofy, along with 13-year-olds Blaise Wagner and Shaye Hayden.
For this group of athletes travelling the country to compete is nothing new. Burns explains that she has been to Houston three times this year, Las Vegas and Dallas already and also has a trip to Daytona Beach scheduled.
“We’ve now had some success nationally,” Burns said. “These four are in the gym four or five times a week for four hours at a time.”
In a sport where kids are identified as early as four years old Pendleton, Lofy, Wagner and Hayden run the gamut of experience.
Hayden, who won at nationals in her first year competing in the sport, is affectionately called a freak of nature by her coach.
“I guess it comes naturally to me,” she said. “I always loved jumping on the trampoline. I get nervous before competitions, but when it’s my turn I just go for it.”
Hayden, a Phoenix resident who attends Mountain Trails Middle School, said she isn’t sure how she feels about being ranked No. 1 nationally.
“I think it’s both,” she said. “It gives me confidence, but it also makes me nervous, because there’s pressure to do well.”
During competitions athletes have to execute 10 moves during routines that include a series of jumps, forward and backward somersaults and twists.
Aside from trampoline other events include synchronized trampoline, tumbling and double mini-trampoline.
Hayden’s partner in the synchronized event is Lofy, a Pinnacle High School student, who has also had success on the national stage.
Last year she placed in trampoline, tumbling and the double mini trampoline event.
This year she isn’t doing the tumbling event, but is hopeful of having similar results in her two events.
“Trampoline is my best event, but I think I might be able to make the top three in both events,” she said.
Pendleton started in gymnastics before changing
sports. This will be his fourth trip to nationals.
“I did gymnastics until I was 10, but I quickly liked this better,” he said.
Wagner, who won at Nationals last year, is hoping to repeat his success.
“I was really nervous since I hadn’t competed at Nationals before, but things went well,” said the Scottsdale resident. “It’s amazing. There are super big crowds out there. To do well gave me a lot of confidence.”
With a strong showing at nationals both Wagner and Hayden are expected to contend for a spot on the Olympic Developmental Program.
And when her top athletes aren’t competing Burns has them coaching the younger athletes. She said coaching often helps them see the sport from another perspective and can help them as athletes as well as helping the younger team members.

hike from page 1 right and a metal New River Nature Preserve sign on the left, which on this day was nearly obscured by the lush vegetation.
With a canopy of trees providing some shade I set off at approximately 5:40 p.m. to check out the preserve. The amount of vegetation combined with a fairly aggressive number of gnats and flies gave me indication that water must be nearby.
In leaving the trail I was able to meander my way down to the source. On this day it was a smoothly trickling stream at the very beginning of the trail, which petered out into moss filled barely moving pools, to then a completely dry river bed.
In returning to the trail, a soft, sandy old road, you come to a gate after just less than a half mile. It strikes me often that something called a preserve is located with the whir of I-17 traffic so loudly audible, competing with a variety of chirping birds that flutter in and out of eye sight. You also are aware of the nearby homes in the area and power lines overhead.
After going through the fence, apparently necessary to keep cattle from wandering north, the trail continues northward, while veering a bit to the east, away from the river bed. On a flat trail, now completely sun exposed with a thinned out amount of vegetation, I hit the one mile mark in the hike after just more than 20 minutes.
In another half mile the trail goes down a hill to the west bringing the hiker into the dry river bed. I’m struck by how wide the river bed is, but note than
in five years with The Foothills Focus only two or three times do I remember seeing New River flowing strongly enough where crossing the river would be impossible on foot.
On this day it’s as dry as a bone. While warm, the early evening temperature isn’t brutal. Heading across the riverbed to the west I continue on a trail that goes north for a short time on another arm of the would be river.
By 6:22 p.m., I’m nearly as far north as the exit sign on I-17 for Table Mesa Road, which is just a stone’s throw away. After 42 minutes of hiking I turn back south, looking at Gavilan Peak and begin my return trip.
I can’t help, but wonder what this hike would be like if there was more water running through the area. All-told the roundtrip hike is just under 4 miles and took less than 90 minutes to complete with ample stopping time for shooting photos.
Scenery: 2 – Again, I would like to give this hike another try when there is more water. As it was with I-17 providing noise pollution and the lack of water there wasn’t much noteworthy about this hike.
Accessibility: 3.5 – The trailhead is less than 3 miles from the freeway. Unless you’re attempting to get to this location when the water level is at an oddly high level there should be no issues arriving at this trailhead. There isn’t much parking though.
Fitness challenge: 2– This is a flat, fairly short hike.Know of a great hike we need to

Wesley Stanley Kar, of Phoenix Arizona, died on June 1st, 2013 at the age of 72 surrounded by his loving wife and children.
Kar, a proud Polish American, was born in Highland Park, Michigan, the elder son of Anthony and Estelle Kar, and had one sibling, Myron, all of whom preceded him in death.
In 1962, Wes met the love of his life, Millie, at the Wayne State University Bookstore where she worked as a cashier, and together they began a journey that would span more than 50 years. They were engaged in a matter of months, and married less than a year later in 1963. As Wes would later put it, “When you know, you know.”
In 1965, they were blessed with their first child, Paula. Shortly thereafter came Mike, followed by Michelle, Kathy, Greg and Ed. In 1978, he relocated the family to Phoenix, vowing never to return to the winters of Detroit. The family continued to grow, and in 1980 Melissa was born, then Liz, Christine and finally in 1986, “Number 10”, Alex.
In 1995, Wes was made a Dzia Dzia (Grandfather in Polish) for the first time, and at his passing had 17 grandchildren of whom he was very proud of and loved very much.
A software engineer for more than 40 years, Wes enjoyed all of the technological advances his lifetime offered. He was an amateur photographer and found great satisfaction in capturing and sharing his family’s experiences, as well as church and local high school sporting events. Wanting to give back to the community, Wes organized blood donation drives at work and church, personally donating more than 10 gallons over multiple decades, and was also a 4th degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus. He was a die-hard Detroit Red Wings hockey fan, always attending the games with family when they were playing in town, and watched the Michigan Wolverines play every Saturday on TV.
To know him was to love him for his outgoing, larger than life personality, and unending desire to make others laugh. Always eager to make new friends, he could strike up a conversation with anyone, and was a self-described “Hugger.” Above all else, Wes was a good-hearted and honest man, loving husband, father and grandfather, who put God and his family first in life. In honor of his Polish heritage, and love of the Red Wings, those attending his funeral were asked to wear an element of red (his favorite color). Family and friends were invited to a viewing on June 6 at St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Cave Creek. A Mass of Christian Burial took place on June 7.
obituary - Wes Kar Foothills Focus loses valued contributor
mARC BUCKHOUTmANAGING EDITOR
I will always remember my first encounter with Wes Kar.
Late in 2009, not much more than a year into my tenure at The Foothills Focus, I was sitting in the office when I received a phone call.
The voice on the other end asked to talk to the, “guy responsible for putting all the dark, grainy and or blurry sports pictures in the paper.”
Not immediately recognizing the tone of the voice I sighed, expecting to hear more about what I already knew. To that point our paper only had a basic point and shoot camera, which could handle day-to-day assignments when the lighting was good and the subject I was trying to catch wasn’t moving.
By the way, none of those conditions are generally met when covering high school sports.
“That would be me,” I grudgingly acknowledged.
After explaining the camera situation handicapping me, Wes volunteered his services even though I told him I didn’t have a budget to pay him. He explained that he was semi retired and along with having a passion for photography he was a big sports fan. He declared that he’d probably be out watching the games anyway so he might as well help make the paper he received every week look better.
So for most of 2010, 2011 and even into 2012 Wes would call me midweek during the high school football season to ask about which game I was planning on covering that week. Beyond those details the discussions ran the gamut as he would engage me on topics ranging from family, politics, sports and everything in between, laughing all the way. Wes talked about his 10 children, affectionately identifying them by number. I believe he told me I was about the same age as No. 7 if memory
serves me right. I even got to meet Alex, No. 10, his youngest, who shared photography as a passion with his dad and even helped us out by shooting for a number of games one season. He lovingly referred to his wife Millie, “as a tough old bird.”
At games Wes always got stellar photographs, but he did so while also managing to engage nearly everybody on the sideline in conversation at one point or another. It didn’t seem to matter if the person was the team trainer, a ball boy, an official or one of the coaches, Wes didn’t know a stranger and almost without exception seemed to get the other person laughing at some point during their exchanges.
Perhaps the most memorable moment of any game we covered together came in 2011 during a football game at Cactus Shadows High School. The two of us were standing next to one and other along the Falcons sideline when then sophomore quarterback Bryce Kinsler, a 2013 graduate, rolled out right. Perusing the defense down field, Kinsler decided there was no where to throw the ball and was preparing to comfortably step out of bound after a short gain right in front of me. Instead, one of the defensive lineman on the other team decided if he was going to chase Kinsler all that way he was going to get a hit on the Falcons quarterback, even though he had already stepped out of bounds. On the late hit Kinsler was launched toward me, cutting me at the legs. As my notes went flying up in the air I fell on top of the Falcons quarterback. Upon picking myself up, collecting my notes and wondering how the officials had missed such a blatant late hit out of bounds penalty, I turned to see perhaps half a dozen Falcons players gathered around Wes who was also laying on the ground.
With a bunch of teens showing concern for their elder,
Wes reassured them.“Boys, at my age it’s hard
enough for me to get out of bed in the morning, so this might take a while,” he said with a chuckle, which seemed to let everyone know he was shaken, but okay.
Apparently in the chain reaction of human bumper cars I’d ended up toppling Wes, a fact that he periodically gave me grief about.
“Real nice,” he would say, in a ribbing good-natured manner, while trying to hold back a grin. “I volunteer to help you out and you knock the old man over. You’re dangerous, you know that don’t you?”
In early 2012 I faced a dilemma in trying to cover two events of importance. While I had a news event to cover in town, the Falcons girls soccer team was scheduled to play in the state semifinals that day in Tucson. I lamented that I felt terrible that I wouldn’t be able to cover such a big game, to honor a team that had experienced such a successful season.
Without any coaxing Wes volunteered to solve the problem, telling me that he wasn’t real keen on driving all the way to Tucson, but if I could find him a ride down and back he would shoot the game for
me. After talking to coach Jeff Vittorio we had our solution as Wes ended up riding down to Tucson on the school bus with the team. Although they ended up losing, Wes said he had a great time talking to the kids and coaches.
After finally getting my own decent camera, which Wes offered advice on selecting and getting me up to speed on how to use its features most effectively, he eventually became a less regular contributor with the paper, although he still would periodically call to talk.
Sometimes it was just to discuss his beloved home town Detroit Red Wings. Other times it was to get my opinions on where the Arizona Cardinals never-ending quarterback search would take the team. Still other times he would offer encouraging words about the paper.
Upon hearing that my parents were headed on an Alaskan cruise, he offered to help them pick out some of the best spots to hit to make the most out of their vacation. After consulting with him before their trip my parents invited Wes and Millie over for dinner following their adventure to show off some of the pictures my dad took.
In recent conversations, earlier this year, Wes said he’d been feeling a bit light on energy, but figured it was just part of getting older. When I hadn’t heard from him recently I just assumed he must have been on a vacation with Millie.
So when I heard the news that he’d passed away recently it struck me harder than I would have anticipated for someone that I had only know for a couple of years. I guess I somehow feel cheated that I won’t get to have one more good conversation with him and inevitably share some laughs.
The Foothills Focus sends out its condolences to family and friends of Wes Kar, a good photographer, but a better person.
Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusWes Kar was a contributing photographer for The Foothills Focus from Dec. 2009 – 2012. He died June 1, at the age of 72.

the Fishing ReportThis 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 azgfd.net/artman/publish/FishingReport/Fishing-report-June-13.shtml
LAKE PLEASANT - Jeremy Hoffman, north Phoenix Sportsman’s Warehouse manager, gave this report: Good spots to try would be Coles, Humbug, up in the river arm, Fireman’s cove, and lastly the tires by the marina. If you’d like to get a mixed bag, instead of using anchovies, buy yourself a bucket full of minnows and free-line them down on a size 2 Aberdeen hook. With minnows you can expect to get stripers, whites, crappie, largemouth, and maybe even a catfish. I’ve caught some giant white bass at night under lights fishing with minnows. It’s a blast to have a mixed bag.
Night fishing for largemouth is really starting to fire up. Try throwing football jigs, and the old faithful Texas rigged 7- or 10-inch black and blue Power Worm.
Previously, Mike McFarland, a Professional Fishing Guide at Hook-Up Outfitters, said there had been a pretty decent top-water bite all over the lake. “It can be wide open in the middle of nowhere,” he said. Anglers can hit an early-and-late afternoon top-water bite. In between, anglers can dropshot soft plastics along the banks for largemouth
bass. Good Roboworm colors will be morning dawn or any prism shad colors such as prism crawler.
Bass fishing in general had been good along the shorelines, he said. Many of the post-spawn fish are recovered and eating more frequently in all areas of the lake in shallow water.
Striper boils are happening from the middle of the lake to 200 feet of water depth.
SAGUARO LAKE - Lake elevation is 1,526 feet (95 percent full): Gary Senft said he received reports that fishing was poor.
There are reports that some fish are chasing shad sporadically in the morning. Anglers are throwing jerk baits and top-water lures such as Zara Spooks, then fishing on cliff walls with dropshots or dragging dropshot Roboworms through the grass that has been growing tall on the deeper flats. A Roboworm in red crawlers, morning dawn or ox blood about one foot to 18 inches below the weight has been working.
Previously, Mike McFarland said getting an early-morning top-water bite followed by midday dropshots in 2-30 feet of water is a reliable pattern.
McFarland said the trick to remember at Saguaro is that the fish are not eating big baits. Use small baits and small dropshots.
BARTLETT LAKE (95 % full, Water temperature 77-79 degrees) – Gary Senft, a local
professional and a Bass Pro at the Mesa Bass Pro Shops, fished the lake Monday, June 10. He reported that the heat did not seem to bother the fish from 6:30 a.m. to noon. The bite was on the entire time, he said, and he reported catching 45 largemouth bass.
He said he caught the fish with a new technique: Flick-shaking. This method includes a 1/16-ounce jig hook, and a 5 ½-inch watermelon candy Flick Shake Worm (available at Bass Pro Shops). Hook the worm right in the middle so that it’s whacky style. Senft said he was using a spinning rod and 8-pound test line, fishing steep banks in 8-15 feet of water.
Senft worked the bait by pulling it a little as it was sinking, and once it hit the bottom, if there wasn’t a bite, he would pop the bait and let it sink back down. If the fish was there, Senft said, it took the bait. He reported catching bass from 1.5-2 pounds.
He moved a lot, starting from the boat dock to the dam and back to Rattlesnake Cove.
Fish long points and reefs -- this is a summertime bass fishing pattern. The bass are preying on minnows, holding off on the sides of long points, typically facing any current that might be bringing in bait.
The early morning top-water bite using Ricos and Bass Assassins was off for Senft.
HORSESHOE LAKE - Lake elevation is 2,005 feet, 55-percent full. Jeremy Hoffman, the north Phoenix Sportsman’s Warehouse fishing manager, reported Horseshoe is a particularly fun place to fish because of the waters it has held for so long. Catfish and carp anglers will have a blast fishing here because it’s a place where you can not only catch high numbers of fish, but many of considerable size. Scent is the key when fishing this lake because the water is so muddy and the visibility extremely poor. A strong potent scent is necessary for these fish to be able to hone in on your bait.

Curbing the sweet tooth is key to healthy dietLet’s face it: We need to reduce
our sugar intake. Diabetes and obesity are on the rise, and the number of children being diagnosed today continues to grow. Here are some alarming
statistics:• Diabetes
i n c r e a s e d 200 percent since 1980.
• Hundreds of thousands of cases are under age 20.
• Half of Americans age
65 and older have pre-diabetes.• About 27 percent over age
65 have diabetes.• Nearly 26 million adults
today have diabetes.In July 2006, the World
Health Organization stated: “Our only recommendation for ending the world-wide physical and mental health crisis is to cut out all sweetened foods to below 10 percent of calories.”
Too much of the wrong kind of sugar in the diet contributes to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s. It can also exacerbate arthritis and feeds certain kinds of cancers. Science has shown that highly processed and refined sugars act the same way in the brain
as addictive substances, such as heroin.
Although the body needs glucose to carry necessary nutrients into our cells, it is important to know which sugar is good and how much. Our brains could not function properly without glucose. The right kinds of sugars are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and some grains. Knowing which to eat, how to eat them, how much, and when, is a learning process that must be geared toward your individual needs. A health coach can help with that learning process. So how does one break the sugar habit? Here are a few tips to get started:
• Avoid anything with high fructose corn syrup in it.
• Look at your grocery budget and cut out one processed “junk” food product loaded with sugar and replace it with one organic sweet food, such as carrots, apples, dates, or sweet potato.
• Use substitute sweeteners sparingly, if at all, because they too act in the brain the same as sugar.
• Replace soda with water or iced tea, for example, and stay away from bottled or canned concentrated juices.
• Eat more green leafy vegetables (the amino acids actually help to remove the sweet cravings)
It is very important to practice reading labels if you are buying packaged food products. But read the “ingredients” information. Become familiar with the numerous other names for sugar that the food industry uses. For a list of these names, visit http://thefoodlabelmovement.org/100-names-for-sugar/

movie review - Superman remake explores development of Man of Steel
MAN OF STEEL Dir: Zack Snyder
Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon,
and Russell CrowemONTE’S RATING3.25 OUT OF 5.00
mONTE yAZZIESPECIAL FOR
THE FOOTHILLS FOCUSThe slow, low angled
movement of the camera through blades of grass in a Kansas field and the accompaniment of a far off, decaying planet with flying space ships resembles an art-house drama and a science fiction epic respectively. These are some of the first images the audience is shown before the iconic red cape streams behind the Superman in Zack Snyder’s origin tale Man of Steel. The dramatic, serious tone is sensed in the first few minutes; a departure from the more relaxed tempered Superman films of the past. Snyder brings a bold vision, displaying the angst of choice during the developing life of a young boy shouldered with formidable powers. Along with an extravagance of special effects, Man of Steel is a long introduction towards a familiar story.
Krypton is dying, on the verge of imminent self-destruction. Jor-El (Russell Crowe), our title characters father, prepares his newborn son Kal-El for departure from the planet in hopes of preserving Krypton’s existence with him. In the midst of a coup orchestrated by General Zod (Michael Shannon), a purpose-above-all presence, Kal-El narrowly escapes and finds refuge with Mary (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin
Costner) on Earth in Kansas. Clark (Henry Cavill), aware of his difference from other people, grows up guided by the belief that the world isn’t prepared for a person as unique as he is. Though
Clark’s secret doesn’t remain, as he is thrown into situations that motivate his action, one of which was saving a journalist named Lois Lane (Amy Adams) who begins to expose his identity.
Meanwhile, Zod breaks free from his prison and hunts down Clark forcing him to reveal his powers in order to save Earth.
From the onset there is a clear focus on the more dramatic struggles Clark encounters on his developing arc from a frustrated youth to a lost, wandering adult. This near 100 minutes of back-story is told in non-linear fashion, displaying poignant moments in Clark’s life that will directly impact the choices he makes in the future. Snyder handles this aspect with varying degrees of success. While he allows the flashbacks to slowly layer the composing ideals that will ultimately rule Clark’s motivations as a hero, there are also moments when the application feels pretentious. It’s fun watching Clark gain a bearing on his strength and struggles, especially a scene when he learns to fly. Though, as is the case with most superhero stories, action will sooner or later hold precedent. The final 45 minutes of Metropolis destruction, amidst tumbling and tossed supermen, shadows the absorbing analysis of Clark’s human verse alien allegiance. This is an aspect that is overlooked in the climax of the film.
Henry Cavill is suitable in the lead role, emulating the poise portrayed by Christopher Reeve in the original films and allowing the emotional qualities to peak through at times. Amy Adams is good as Lois Lane, her
portrayal more straightforward than Margot Kidder’s feisty rendition. Michael Shannon is great to watch, composing a villain with all the menacing bravado one would want opposite Superman. The film is also well shot; between the sun-stroked landscapes and stylized action there is a wealth of images that hold your attention.
Man of Steel is a decent film, though there are glimpses of a great film displayed throughout. The action is elaborate, a quality that is initially exciting, but becomes overly repetitive as the finale is stretched thin. The problem with making an origin story is that everyone knows where the film will end up. Snyder avoids, for a time, some of the trappings by focusing more attention on Clark’s assimilation with humanity. Though Man of Steel has its downfalls, it’s still the best rendition of the iconic character. And, since this is just the beginning, there is still hope for a great Superman film as the saga continues.

questions at that time, but he did indicate to those present at the council meeting that this was an indication of potential problems if the town did not resolve who would be the interim town manager as soon as possible. It was learned on Thursday that departing Town Manager Usama Abujbarah had instructed staff to perform this cancellation on Monday or Tuesday.
The Council was present for a special meeting to consider the appointment of Attorney Rodney Glassman to serve in this role for six months to deal with such daily events, and especially to fulfill the mission indicated in the meeting agenda.
At the June meeting, where the contract for then acting Usama Abujbarah was terminated, a motion was proposed and accepted which provided for a Special Meeting, for the appointment of an interim administrator with a very focused agenda. The motion
provided as follows:“Motion to approve the appointment
of Rodney Glassman as Acting Town Manager, to perform the Power and Duties of the Office of Town Manager, in accordance with Section 31.25(E)(2) of the Cave Creek Town Code, whereby the Town will compensate the Acting Town Manager at a rate not to exceed the rate paid to the outgoing Town Manager, beginning June 17, 2013, for a period not to exceed 6.5 months with the following duties:
1. To carry out the duties of the Town Manager as described in Cave creek Town Code Section 31.25 (H),
2. Oversee the selection of an independent third party for the purpose of conducting an audit of the funds of the town of Cave Creek, with results to be presented to Council no later than December 1, 2013,
3. Oversee a process of selecting a new permanent Town Manager for the Town of Cave Creek prior to the expiration of the Acting Town Manager’s
interim contract and to direct the Town Attorneys to prepare an appropriate contract.”
After the reading of the motion, which was the only agenda item for the meeting, the candidate, Rodney Glassman, was introduced and his credentials were reviewed. Citizens were invited to ask questions of the proposed Interim Manager. Glassman credentials include a broad history of business experience, multiple college degrees, including a PhD, an Arizona law license, and Arizona Real estate broker’s license, and service as a Councilman on the Tucson City Council. He is a Captain of the U.S. Air Force JAG Reserve Corp, where he provides a variety of legal services to the Air Force Base.
At the Call to the Public, one issue dominated the rest of the evening.
Simply expressed by resident Everett Bell, who asked, “Where are the others?”
He, and other citizens, were concerned because Glassman was introduced alone, with no other candidates to be evaluated. On that issue, various members of Council and the public debated the propriety of endorsing this candidate with no competing candidates present, even though no issues were raised as to the candidate’s qualifications or suitability. Approximately two hours of vigorous debate followed, discussing the issues of whether adequate effort had been made by the new Council
to identify alternative candidates who might be equally suitable.
Councilmen Adam Trenk and Monachino expressed substantial concerns about any delay, considering that the legal deadline for completing a budget had to be met in a very short time. Monachino read the aforementioned email regarding cancellation of the Taste of Cave Creek, as evidence of needing a firm hand at the helm as soon as possible. Councilman Charles Spitzer shared the need for prompt action. The remaining councilmen continued to express concern that the fullest opportunity had not been met for exploring other candidates. Newly sworn councilman Mike Durkin engaged in a vigorous inquiry as to what the threshold was for the transparency which these new councilman shaped their campaigns around.
A compromise agreement was reached. The matter was continued until this coming Monday, to allow other interested candidates to submit their letters of interest and qualifications to the Town Clerk, Carrie Dyrek (Acting Town Manager until a new Manager is chosen). Final adjudication will be made at that time. Residents are invited to review the agenda at cavecreek.civicweb.net for expanded information about proposed candidates, before the meeting.

Cave Creek horse rescue relocates 80 at-risk animalsmARC BUCKHOUT
mANAGING EDITOR
Triple R Horse Rescue in Cave Creek recently found itself in a unique situation. Earlier this month the non-profit, located at 6206 East Rockaway Hills Drive, ended up helping to rescue nearly 80 animals from another rescue.
“It was a situation where they ran into a reality where they ended up with more animals than they had the funding to support,” Triple R Horse Rescue president Ken Bacher said.
Triple R Horse Rescue and Hoofprints of the Heart, based in Marana, combined to rescue the at risk animals.
“There were seven animal in such bad shape that they had to be euthanized,” Bacher said. “Overall they were being fed, but not much more was being done for them. A lot of them needed hoof care.”
Bacher admits pulling off such an effort puts a tremendous strain on a small rescue.
“It’s incredibly challenging,” he said. “Neither of the rescues had a big truck to haul the animals so we were travelling back and forth from Hacienda de Los Maliagros (HDLM), in Chino Valley transporting six or seven animals at a time. A lot of people stepped up and helped out. The main thing is we got a bunch of animals off to a much better life.”
Of the animals rescued, 39 were
eventually sent to Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue in Texas, while 17 initially came to Cave Creek late last month to live on the 2.5 acre property.
Of that group, Bacher has adopted out all, but three burros.
“I had no idea that there would be such a demand for burros,” Bacher said. “A number of people that have a single horse want a companion for it. Burros are smaller than horses so the cost of ownership isn’t as much. Burros are also good at keeping predators like coyotes away. I’d never considered myself a burro person, but after spending time around them I have to admit they’re just cute.”
Bacher isn’t sure if he’ll have any burros left on the property by July 4, but the non-profit is hosting a potluck at 6:30 p.m., July 4. Following the meal attendees are invited to stay and watch Cave Creek’s fireworks show. The evening will give attendees a chance to check out the rescue and ask questions about being a volunteer.
The rescue is also in preparation for their Hope for the Horses Gala, set for Oct. 16 at Carefree Resort. The fundraiser will include dinner, live auctions, silent auctions, a video presentation about the rescue, as well as a ring toss with winners receiving wine bottles.
For information on the rescue call 602-317-6176 or go to triplerhorse rescueaz.com.

square miles and serves more than 52,000 residents.
In late 2012 the District began receiving a large volume of requests for service in three County Islands paralleling the Districts existing boundaries. Property owners were concerned with a variety of issues. Several home owners were being audited by their home owner’s insurance carriers, the discovery that they had no fire protection resulted in either astronomical rate increases or dropped coverage. Others were not happy with their current protection, a contract with Rural Metro Fire Department.
Property owners located between 16th Street and 28th Street, between Joy Ranch and Cloud, south of Carefree Highway west of Central and west of 27th Avenue north of Jenny Lynn are receiving service from Fire Station 821 located in Cave Creek. This station, if available has an estimated 15 minute response time to the area. This is a single Fire engine that services all of Cave Creek, but is also able to respond to emergencies anywhere in the county that doesn’t have defined fire protection. For those property owners that do not contract with Rural Metro Fire Department, they will be billed for services rendered.
The Daisy Mountain Fire District has proposed an official boundary change request to Maricopa County. This boundary change would include all of the properties and provide emergency services from the existing Daisy Mountain Fire Stations. In addition to the four existing stations, residents will receive service at no extra fee from more than 26 other valley Fire Departments as a part of a Valley-wide Automatic Aid agreement allowing the closest apparatus to respond to emergencies regardless of jurisdiction. Residents
of the newly proposed area can expect response times less than seven minutes for all fire and medical incidents.
The Daisy Mountain Fire District is primarily funded by property taxes and yes, new additions to the district can expect an increase to their property taxes in the future. The cost is approximately $325 per hundred thousand dollars of assessed valuation.
Once the District has made an effort to contact all property owners and collected signatures from 50 percent plus one of all property owners, the petitions will be turned into the County for a final review and approval. Currently petitions are being circulated by the Fire District and neighborhood volunteers. Property owners are urged to contact Captain Dave Wilson at 602-320-0616 with any questions or concerns.

Crown King remains strong after Gladiator Fire
STAFF REPORTOn Mother’s Day, 2012 Crown King
was stricken by the Gladiator Wildfire. This fire was deemed a “Federal 1” fire and consumed more than 16,000 acres, coming extremely close to Homeland Security towers and the tiny town of 125 permanent residents. The small community was mandatorily evacuated for more than 2 weeks. Following this massive wildfire, the community received an incredible 18 inches of torrential rain. This flooding caused a massive avalanche of mud and destroyed the main road coming into Crown King. The County closed the roads, Monday thru Thursday for almost three months. The local businesses, two stores, threelodging facilities, the historic Saloon, and three restaurants suffered unimaginable financial losses.
Crown King is nestled high atop the Bradshaw Mountains. Crown King might be labeled a “gold ghost mining town”, but its thriving community hosts
an array of events and festivals all year ‘round. With elevations of more than 6,000 feet, Crown King offers all seasons, making for an escape from the city life of Phoenix and only a two hour drive from most parts of the Valley. Crown King offers lodging, entertainment, and miles of trails for hiking, biking or off-roading. Crown King offers clean mountain air and endless blue skies,( not to mention a huge dose of gold mining history).
Now the roads are better than ever and the community is struggling to survive. Call today to make lodging reservations, drive up for the day to have lunch or dinner, or schedule your destination wedding event with us. Please go to the many Facebook pages on local businesses and also visit our websites for the 2013 Calendar of events.
Some of the upcoming events this summer include Cowboy Appreciation Day on June 22 at the Crown King Saloon, the Pony Express Annual Re-enactment at Bradshaw Mountain Guest Ranch on June 27, a Flag Mountain Hike followed by a hot dog eating contest at The Prospector Mall on July 4 and then a Luau at Crown King Saloon on July 13.

STAFF REPORT
Perhaps it will be the location of Hair F/X Salon, prominently on Cave Creek’s main drag, which will first draw people inside the doors, but Karin, the owner and Master Stylist, is confident that the new looks her clients will be sporting after coming to her will be what brings them back.
“I guarantee my work,” said the one-time Michigan hair designer of the year, who has been styling hair for more than 25 years. “I believe my success is from delivering what the clients want, both in listening to their specific requests, or by

She also touts attending educational classes to keep abreast of the current advancements and trends in the industry.
Hair F/X offers wig services, such as styling and cutting and coloring of wigs, extensions, mens haircuts as well as facial waxing. She offers a $10 referral credit to her clients who recommend the salon.
The hair designer said she has room to expand her operation. A private suite is available for a nail tech, another hair designer , boutique, injectables, or an LMT.
“That area is private and really could provide anything,” she said.
The summer business hours are 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Wednesday – Saturday, with extended hours by request. Fair said she’ll take appointments Sunday through Thursday.

Judge examines probable cause for search warrants
The recent disclosure of a classified search warrant, and its’ grant of authority to the NSA concerning telephone records, has generated a renewed interest in search and seizure requirements. Although there are many exceptions, the Fourth
Amendment g e n e r a l l y requires a government agent to obtain a s e a r c h w a r r a n t before he or she can law-
fully conduct a search.
In case you have forgotten it (or perhaps have never read it), the Fourth Amendment to our U.S. Constitution reads in full: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
A search is usually defined as a governmental intrusion into an area where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. If the government agent takes control of what is being searched, then a seizure has occurred; hence the term “search and seizure.”
A discussion of the exceptions to the search warrant requirement cannot be done briefly; but some examples of searches that don’t require a warrant include a search incident to a lawful arrest, a search of an automobile, a search of items in plain view, and a search that occurred after the suspect consented to it.
For purposes of a search warrant, probable cause means that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a specific place contains evidence of a specific crime. It does not, however, require certainty. For
example, a judge can consider a tip from a confidential informant as part of a finding that probable cause for a warrant exists. And, perhaps somewhat comically, there is case law that says that the police can answer a ringing telephone while executing a search warrant.
It is possible but difficult to attack a search warrant. However, if a judge signed a search warrant based on a law enforcement affidavit that contained false information, then the evidence obtained from that search could be inadmissible at trial.
A search warrant is a court order and a law enforcement agent who is following it is presumed to be acting lawfully. This is why they have always been a big deal.
Although the debate concerning the adoption of the Fourth Amendment obviously did not concern cell phone records, there was a concern that a search warrant, in and of itself, may not be sufficient protection from government agents acting improperly.
On October 12, 1787, the following sentence was published: “There are other essential rights, which we have justly understood to be the rights of freeman; as freedom from hasty and unreasonable search warrants, warrants not founded on oath, and not issued with due caution, for searching and seizing men’s papers, property, and persons.”
The sentence above is from a collection of documents known as the Anti-Federalist Papers. It was published anonymously as Letter from the Federal Farmer IV. Some would argue that a concern about whether search warrants are issued hastily is as valid now as it was more than 220 years ago.
Judge Gerald Williams is the presiding justice of the peace for the Northwest Regional Court Center. His column appears monthly in The Foothills Focus.
Cave Creek’s town manager won’t be missedAt the special Cave Creek
Town Council meeting on June 10th related exclusively to the issue of the town manager’s possible continued service, the issue of the cost of termination (aka canning) of his contract came up several times.
Yes, it is true, there is a cost related to this termination, but you have to also put that cost into the prospective of what he has cost the town of Cave Creek with his actions which he took without the prior approval of the town council.
Let’s not forget the cost of the Neery Tank issue of making it earthquake proof here where we have very few earthquakes, extra cost: tens of thousands and then the $1.4 million dollar cost of building the tank on someone else’s property.
Let’s not forget the $1.4 million dollar pipeline that he approved down Cave Creek Road which the Town Council had to approve retroactively.
Let’s not forget the infamous “Streetscape” project which cost more than $600,000 for only 600 lineal feet of sidewalk which shut down Cave Creek Road to one lane for months and adversely affected the businesses in that immediate area.
Let’s not forget all (100 percent) of the lawsuits that Cave Creek has lost due to poor communication from his office to the subjects which, of course, were confidently “settled”.
And let’s not forget the huge cost ($19.5 million) Cave Creek paid for the water company which was directed by the town
manager. And remember he told us back in 2007 that there would be no increase in the cost of water services.
Let’s not forget that he has taken more than $100,000 out of his personal time off and vacation funding via a personnel manual procedure which he wrote and administered which has never come before town council despite it being a financial policy.
Some of the town manager’s supporters point to the “fine job” he did when he finally recognized there was a down turn in the economy and he laid off excess staff when the signs of this downturn were well established months before he took any action.
And lastly, what was the cost of the monthly financial reports not being available on a timely basis for all citizens (and council people) to see and question as the downtrend began. Only the Mayor’s demands and the demands of the challenging candidates finally moved the town manager to action.
It looks to me like the new council members are cutting our historic losses short and probably saving the Town of Cave Creek money in the long run.

Daughter of late Carefree resident appreciates gestureRecently I contacted the
Carefree Water Company, paying my late father’s bill, advising them of his passing and asking that future bills be sent to me. Not only did they remove the late charge on the account, but the employees sent me a hand written sympathy note. Their expression of care,
concern and comfort to me any my family was, and is, like a breath of fresh air!
In the troubled times in which we live, it is nice to know there are still such great people shining their light. Keep up the good work.
