DMFD performs four water rescues during last week’s stormsELIZABETH MEDORA
STAFFNORTH VALLEY – Last
week’s severe storms brought heavy rainfall, hail, flash flood warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, and even a tornado warning in parts of the Valley. Approximately two inches of rain fell in some North Valley areas over last Tuesday and Wednesday.
The storms flooded multiple roadways; some vehicle occupants became stranded after attempting to cross flooded areas. Daisy Mountain Fire Department performed four water rescues over the course of the storms last Tuesday and Wednesday. The
rescues were all successful, with no injuries to those in the vehicles or to the rescuers.
Due to flooding, SR 74 west of I-17 was closed, reopened, and closed again during the storms. Multiple New River and Desert Hills roadways were closed due to flooded roadways, including major flooding in the Honda Bow area. DMFD opened the north emergency access gate on the evening of Oct. 20 to help residents get to their homes.
Trying to cross flooded roadways is extremely hazardous for drivers and for the rescuers who respond to

MTA presenting ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane’
ANTHEM – The Musical Theatre of Anthem will be presenting ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane,’ opening Nov. 12.
This Edward Tulane production is a Dwayne Hartford adaptation based on the Newbery-winning novel by author Kate DiCamillo. Follow the heartwarming journey of Edward, a china rabbit given to ten-year-old Abilene by her grandmother in the 1930s, when an unfortunate incident suddenly shatters his pleasant but vain life and sends him overboard the RMS Queen Mary. From the ocean floor to a fisherman’s boat, Edward is passed from hand to hand of a succession of life-altering characters, taking him far from home and even farther from the selfish rabbit he once was. “If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless.”

The award-winning production staff includes director Laura O’Meara and producer Jackie Hammond. Abilene is being played by Savannah Foy. Edward Tulane is being played by Jack Maplethorpe.

JUDY BLUHMBoo! Are you scared yet? Well,
don’t worry, because, while the approach of Halloween may cause a whole lot of ghouls and witches to come knocking at your door (hope they are kids in costume), it also brings the joy of candy! I know I may only have one or two “trick-or-treaters,” but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a few (entire bag) little candy bars! And evidently I am not alone. This year, Americans will spend two billion bucks on confection and another 4.5 billion on decorations and costumes. Yum…the amount of sugar we consume is frightful!
Halloween originates from a Celtic tradition called Samhain, which was a festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. They believed that Samhain was the wicked period of time that fairies or spirits could enter our world, and the Celts would leave plates of food and sweets at their door in order to placate the spirits. Hey, who wants a hungry spirit chasing you around the house? Better to feed the lost souls so they can “move on” to the next house. Hmm….maybe not the most “neighborly” thing to do.
See those cute little kids in your neighborhood all dressed up in costumes? Well, that tradition goes back to the medieval times, when poor adults and children went around in costumes during “Hallowmas,” the Autumn holiday which included folks begging for food and money in exchange for prayers. This annual routine was called “souling” and was brought to America by the Irish early in the 20th century.
The idea of walking around asking for candy completely went away during WWII when sugar was rationed, but
by 1952 trick-or-treating was hugely popular again. And it has been ever since. Even with fears (mostly unfounded) about kids getting razor blades stuck in their candy, children going house-to-house asking complete strangers for candy, is one big American holiday.
I think I will sit in a lawn chair at my daughter’s house in Anthem on Halloween, because those folks know how to celebrate. Throngs of kids will walk around, parents pulling the young ones in wagons and even the pets gets dressed in costumes. A 90-pound Black Lab named Max gets suited up like a giant tarantula with a costume of eight hairy legs that move in a horrifying fashion when he walks. Max and his owner creep around at dusk and have terrified many. Max looks like a massive spider with tendrils touching the ground walk stalking the neighborhood. Grown men have screamed seeing Max! Children run and hide. Oh yea, I love all things spooky.
Doesn’t a Bloody Mary sound good? You know, spicy tomato juice, vodka, and a stalk of celery (must make it healthy) seems about right on Halloween. Oops, no I mean to talk about the ghost of Bloody Mary. Evidently, on October 31 each year, she will appear if you stare into a mirror in a darkened room by the light of thirteen candles and chant “Bloody Mary” thirteen times. The vengeful spirit will appear at your left shoulder. At that point, the evil ghost may: 1) scratch your eyes out, 2) kill you, or 3) drive you insane. Dear Readers, try this and let me know what happens. Or drink up and think about what might happen! In other words, be very careful on Halloween.
Have you decorated yet? Sixty-five percent of Americans will decorate their homes for Halloween with everything from
pumpkins to hanging skeletons
from trees. You get the picture
– lots of black cats, witches,
devils, demons, ghosts, and
jack-o-lanterns out there to set
the mood. Our habit of lighting
up pumpkins – making them
into glowing Jack O’Lanterns
dates back centuries when
the thought was that ghouls
and ghosts hate light. So a
pumpkin placed at your door,
with a candle flickering inside,
would keep away any restless
spirits flying around that might
land at your house.
The lighted Jack O’Lantern
might work for keeping ghosts
away, but only attracts javelinas!
I thought I would
decorate by
lining my walk-
way to the
front door with
half a dozen
pumpkins lit
up. They were
b e a u t i f u l !
I carved
them with
huge smiles
( b e c a u s e
mean or frowning faces bring
bad luck). And once dusk
came so did the pack of
javelinas! They devoured my
festive pumpkins, leaving those
beasts with orange goo all over
their little piggy faces and a
mess on my sidewalk!
No wonder we like to eat candy
on Halloween! We must comfort
ourselves in our fight against the
witches, ghosts, vengeful spirits,
demons, 90-pound tarantulas,
and javelinas that might come to
our doorstep! Carve a pumpkin,
light a candle, drink a Blood
Mary (do not chant for her
spirit), dress up in an outlandish
costume, enjoy the children,
avoid the demons, and eat a
big bag of Snickers, just so you
can get through the night! Boo!
Until next week, Dear Readers,
enjoy all things spooky.

Cave Creek Council approves consulting contract
TARA ALATORRESTAFF
CAVE CREEK – At the Oct. 19 meeting, the Cave Creek Town Council unanimously authorized a $5,000 a month consulting contract up to 12 months, which would move the town towards the goal of acquiring state-trust land, conserving more open space in Cave Creek, but not before recalled councilmen Reg Monachino and Adam Trenk took to the podium to criticize the current council.
The town council authorized a contract with Steve Betts, who worked pro-bono while lobbying and acquiring the state land that is now Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area and worked on state-trust land legislation for over thirty years, only after adding some stipulations for the consultant. Councilman Mark Lipsky added an amendment requiring Betts to meet in an executive session every two months to go over his performance, and the option to terminate his contract at any time.
“It has been a difficult process, I was volunteering my help again, and that is how we got here with this consulting agreement,” said Betts while addressing the council at the meeting. “I am sort of semi-retired now and I am not looking for a great deal of work.”
Recalled Vice Mayor Adam Trenk complained of hypocrisy, saying he and other recalled councilmen were criticized by them when they hired consultants for road maintenance and master water plans while serving on the town council.
“That’s the position you’re taking, now you’re eating your own words,” said Trenk while speaking during his call to the public. “Govern this town more responsibly.”
Councilman Lipsky responded after Trenk was done speaking, saying, “None of that is true, ladies and gentlemen.” Trenk responded by asking Councilman Lipsky if the rumors were true that he parks his car off the town hall property
to conceal the fact that his car is
registered out of state.
Lipsky responded, “No.”
(The Focus has not confirmed if
the information about Lipsky’ s
car registration is true or not.)
Vice Mayor Steve LaMar
defended the council’s approval
of a consulting contract with
Betts, saying they have been
working on this issue in executive
sessions for the past six months
before they concluded that a
contract would be necessary.
“We wanted to keep it quiet
until we saw the initial evaluation
while Betts worked pro-bono,”
said Vice Mayor LaMar. “If
we get this accomplished, in
my mind, it’s a historical step
making Cave Creek what our
general plan dictated it should
be: Forever rural, forever wild,
forever different.”
The town council also
unanimously authorized
a $12,050 expenditure to
pay for the parts needed to
repair the wastewater pump

SCOTTSDALE – It may not be an udder day in paradise, but the Foothills Community Foundation is planning its inaugural “Cow Pie Bingo for PIE” fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Hogs and Horses, 6705 E Cave Creek Rd., in Cave Creek as a wacky way to help students in local schools while giving a lucky ticket holder a chance to win a lot of moola.
The event takes place from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. where a crowd is expected to gather to cheer Curly, Jr., the beloved cow, as he roams the 560 square grid arena. Tickets for a 2’ by 2’ square cost $10 and the prize, of course, is
all up to where Curly decides to “deposit.” The ticket holder of Curly’s chosen square gets $500 or 20 percent of the take (whichever is less). If Curly doesn’t “deposit” in an hour, a winner will be randomly drawn.
“We’re looking forward to a fun afternoon, and the best part is that funds raised support our Partners in Education program, or PIE,” said Chris Winger, FCF president and CEO. “We also want to thank John Holbrook for lending us his cow, Curly, who will be treated with the best care.”
FCF’s Partners in Education program designated $10,000
to two Teacher Vision Grant recipients for the 2015-2016 school year, the fifth year of this particular type of grant. The special grants enable local schools to pilot and adopt sustainable and transferable educational innovations that advance learning in the arts, mathematics, communications, information technology, or the environment.
FCF is seeking donations to help fund next year’s Teacher Vision Grants. To donate or for more information, visit www.azfcf.org or call (480) 488-1090.

Local student athletes getting educated on concussion awarenessJESSICA WATTS
STAFFNORTH VALLEY –
Brainbook and the Arizona Interscholastic Association have teamed up to educate student athletes about concussion awareness.
The AIA requires every student athletes to take a concussion class and pass a test before being allowed to compete in a sport. The class and test is done through Brainbook, and educates the players on what concussions are, signs and symptoms of possible concussions, and how serious concussions can be.
Sandra Day O’Connor High School is making sure all their student athletes are educated about concussions.
Because concussions awareness has become more common, the football team at O’Connor contracted with Safe Football to help teach proper technique. The Safe Football class taught the athletes the correct way to tackle, block, and hit without having straight contact with heads. Head football coach John Rodriguez requires each athlete to pump up their helmet up every day before practice and extra on game days.
“We have found that is probably the number one reason why kids are getting concussions – because they are not keeping their helmets pumped up enough during practice,” Rodriguez said. “When those helmets are not aired up like they are supposed to be, that can also lead to concussions.”
Rodriguez continued to say that concussions have been decreasing at O’Connor due to teaching proper tackling and not going full go until game day.
“Our kids don’t need to take that kind of beating during the week and then go out on Friday and lay it on line,” Rodriguez added. “We try to do everything we can to help prevent it.”
O’Connor required all the athletes on the football team do
a pre-screening called Impact Testing. The test is a base-line test which measures the reaction time and memory of all the athletes. If an athlete has signs or symptoms of a concussion, athletic trainers will compare both test results (before and after) to see how much the concussion has impacted them or if the athlete is ready to return. O’Connor will be extending the Impact Testing to all sports in the future.
Recognizing concussions signs leads to more accurate concussion reporting, and Jennifer Guerrette, head athletic trainer at O’Connor has seen more athletes reporting concussions.
“Players are more aware of telling us if they might have had
a concussion, so we can monitor it a little bit better,” Guerrette said. “More people are actually reporting that have had one, but that is good because that means before they were just playing through it and not necessarily reporting it.”
With all the concussion awareness O’Connor is providing and mandating, athletic director Chandler Evans has seen a decrease in concussions.
“The coaches are making sure their technique is proper and there are different ways they are teaching it now,” Evans said. “Instead of old school teaching them to hit with their heads, it has led to a decrease in concussions.”

Celebrate the best of the west at Wild West Days
CAVE CREEK – Love all things Wild West? Don’t miss the 12th Annual Wild West Days Cave Creek, running Nov. 6-8. Wild West Days will be held throughout Cave Creek.
For the first time this year, Wild West Days will feature a rodeo. The rodeo will be held at the Cave Creek Rodeo Arena, 37201 N 28th St, in Cave Creek on Friday, Nov. 6, 6 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 8, 1 p.m. It will be an open invitational rodeo put on by the Dirty Money Cattle Company. Rodeo tickets are being sold strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis, so make sure to come early to buy tickets.
Event Chairman Marshal Adam Stein noted that this is the first year Wild West Days has its own rodeo, saying that it is “celebrating our western heritage.”
Also new this year is the first Wild West Days cattle drive.
“We’re going to have a giant big-horned steer leading the parade,” Stein said. The first-ever cattle drive will be led by Watusi cattle, which are a unique breed of cattle known especially for their huge horns, which can reach eight feet, tip to tip.
The Rocky Mountain Oyster Eating Contest on Saturday, Nov. 7 is also a first for this year’s Wild West Days. Whoever eats the most oysters in the allotted time will be awarded a to-be-announced prize.
Patty Pollnow, who is handling marketing for Wild West Days, noted that Cory McCloskey, weatherman for Channel 10, will be this year’s parade marshal.
Pollnow has spearheaded a campaign to convince Ari from The Ellen Show to come out for Wild West Days, specifically for the Rocky Mountain Oyster Eating Contest. It’s a long shot, but it just might work out!
Other Wild West Days special events include pig races, mutton bustin’, bathtub races, and a vendor zone. Inflatables, bounce houses, a petting zoo, and more will be featured in the kids’ zone.
Proceeds from Wild West Days will cover the event costs and benefit the Cave Creek Museum.

THE SUN MAY BE SHININGBUT IT’S NOT
TOO HOT TO MOVE!a stranded motorist’s call for help. While DMFD was able to safely rescue stranded drivers in last week’s storms, it’s always risky for rescuers to attempt a water rescue.
“Unfortunately, this situation is one that the Daisy Mountain Fire Department encounters several times a year when we see heavy rains,” reported Captain Dave Wilson of the Daisy Mountain Fire Department. “Rescues of this nature can be extremely dangerous for both vehicle occupants as well as rescuers.”
According to the National Weather Service, each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm-related hazard.
“People underestimate the force and power of water,” the National Weather Service states in its ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown initiative. “Many of the deaths occur in automobiles as they are swept downstream. Of these drownings, many are preventable, but too many people continue to drive around the barriers that warn you the road is flooded. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while
2 feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters.”
Wilson emphasized that it is difficult to judge the depth and current of floodwaters – just because the water looks shallow doesn’t mean that it is.
“We always recommend that drivers take a pessimistic approach when driving in inclement weather,” Wilson said. “Never cross flooded roadways, especially when they are barricaded. It is difficult to judge how deep the water may be, how fast the current is, or if the roadway has been washed away underneath.”

MONTE YAZZIEMOVIE COLUMNIST
Young children can make the most simple and meaningless objects come to creative life, their imagination transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. At the core of Lenny Abrahamson’s film “Room”, based off the critically acclaimed novel by Emma Donaghue, is a story about the relationship between a mother and child. It also happens to be about a horrendous seven-year long kidnapping. Though the surprise is that at moments the terrible crime being portrayed on screen, in a tiny single room, takes a backseat to a heartfelt and sincere portrayal of a child encapsulated in a one-room world with his mother. For the child, the room holds every memory and is the definition of safety and love. For the mother, the room holds the exact opposite sentiments, her only reason for living being the child she is trying to save. “Room” is filled with moments of gut-wrenching emotion. It’s a terrifying captivity tale, a profound example of resilience and survival, and displays the bond of codependency that exists between a mother and child.
Jack (Jacob Tremblay) is celebrating his 5th birthday with Ma (Brie Larson). Their little family lives in a little shed, the victims of a kidnapping by
a sexual predator nicknamed Old Nick (Sean Bridges). The two live a life within four walls; every moment of the day is lived through the illumination of a singular skylight. Ma smiles for Jack through the lingering pain of a life taken from her seven years prior. Jack’s lively imagination and Ma’s unwavering love keeps Jack from realizing that anything is out of the ordinary. After an altercation with Old Nick, Ma devises a plan to escape, which leads to Jack’s harrowing journey into a world he has never seen.
The narrative at numerous times in the film is constructed from Jack’s point of view. We see the familiar world through
his eyes, but also the changing world once the film moves away from the imprisonment. Jack often refers to this living place simply as “room”, almost as if it were a person instead of a place; it’s a poignant narrative touch. We also see the changing character of Ma, a kidnapped
mother forced to build a life in seclusion with her child and then as a post-traumatic suffering survivor dealing with the world she once knew, a world still messy and complicated.
Lenny Abrahamson directs “Room” confidently throughout, painting a world that is at one moment a simple and minuscule process and then opening into broad and complicated form. The camera utilizes close-up framing of objects to make the world seem larger than it is, but also to display the grandeur of Jack’s imagination. When Jack makes the escape, wrapped in a rug with only a circular viewpoint to see glimpses of the new world,
the camera is in constant motion and changing focus, a correlation to how Jack is processing the new world in its startling brightness. Unfortunately this amusing technique only lasts for a few quick moments; the world that Jack is experiencing is quickly substituted for standard dramatic elements. Seven years in captivity changes everything. While the world remains new for Jack, Ma is thrust back into a life that has been damaged by the tragic event. While this offers an interesting perspective for Ma, the character is somewhat glazed over in the end.
Still, Brie Larson is simply fantastic, giving an impressive leading performance that is heartbreakingly subdued yet in other moments filled with undeniable passion. Jacob Tremblay gives the film its life; his performance is filled with energy and a sensibility that can only be defined as pure. Together the two actors have incredible chemistry. Larson and Tremblay are a primary reason to see this film.
“Room” is a very good film with even better performances. The film handles subject matter that can be difficult to watch at times, but the narrative consistently displays the strength of the characters and the resiliency to show |that a “home” is wherever love exists, even if it’s in the confinement of four walls.

Rustic Style and Natural Beauty
SHEA STANFIELDARTS COLUMNIST
Born in Gatesville, Texas and raised in a military family, local artist Kathi Turner has spent most of her life traveling to foreign countries and bases throughout the US. Kathi finished school in Washington State where she met her rancher husband, Tom, right out of high school. They started their first ranch together in Ellensburg, Washington, where Kathy grew to love the changing seasons on the open range and developed a keen interest in the local Native American culture. It was here Kathi met female elders of the Yakima Tribe who took her childhood hobby of beading to the next level by teaching her techniques of color, design, and material to use in her work.
In 1976, Kathi and her husband
and their two children relocated their ranch to southeastern Oregon, in Princeton, not far from the Nevada line. It was here in this remote open landscape that Kathi gained a new appreciation for the beauty of the high desert. She was mesmerized by the diversity of the color palette, the gentle rolling lines across the open landscape, and the way the shadows danced across the vast surface. Author Rachel Carson wrote, “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” Kathi preserves the memory of this beauty in her jewelry designs. Without the reliability of satellite TV and often no radio, Kathi gathered books and magazines to search for new designs and techniques she could incorporate
into her creations; as she would state, “driven by her desire to achieve.”
Recently, with the children grown, Kathi and her husband retired from ranching life and purchased a home in Scottsdale, AZ. This was now her chance to expand her jewelry creations into mixed metals and natural stones. She attended a few basic classes and with a torch in one hand, and a desire in the other, she developed a jewelry style called ‘Rustic Primitive.” Today, Kathi has grown her business into two beautiful studios, one in Winnemucca, Nevada and one in Scottsdale. She is thrilled to share her newest designs and welcomes visitors to both of her studios by appointment.
Each year, Kathi participates in the Superior Art Show in Winnemucca and the Sonoran Arts Festival in Carefree, as well as the Sonoran Arts League’s Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour each November. Her ranching roots constantly inspire her designs, her love for native cultures, and the imagistic landscapes of the desert Southwest. Each piece she creates contains a little of her heart and soul and the spirit of the world we live in.
To view more of Kathi Turner’s designs, visit www.highdesertcreations.com or w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / H i g h DesertCreations, or to contact Kathi for a studio appointment, e-mail her at kathi [email protected].

Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival to run Nov. 6-8
CAREFREE – Mountains, trees, coastal scenes…all take shape as pastel painter and Fountain Hills resident Michael McKee fervently moves soft pastels over a large piece of specialty-paper, using his fingers to blend colors as he works.
McKee is this year’s featured artist at Thunderbird Artists’ 22nd Annual Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival. Known as one of the premier juried shows to kick off art season, the popular event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Nov. 6-8, along Ho Hum and Easy Streets in downtown Carefree.
“Michael’s vibrant landscapes and abstract pieces are phenomenal,” said Denise Dale, Thunderbird Artists’ vice president. “Of course, you need to see them in person to really appreciate his intuitive use of color and expression.”
Thunderbird Artists Carefree show, while intimate in its set-up, features a roster of more than 100 accomplished fine artists from throughout the country. In addition to a wide variety of paintings, drawings, charcoals, and pastels, patrons will find small, medium, and life-sized sculptures, bronzes, sparkling hand-blown glass, wood, clay, metal, stone, gourds, one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry, exceptional photography, and more.
A Cleveland, Ohio native, McKee grew up surrounded by art and music. An Honors graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, he spent many years working as a portrait artist, illustrator, graphic designer, and art director. In 1997, he traveled to Chimayo, New Mexico and was immediately drawn to the range and density of color found in the texture of the high desert landscape. While watching the sunset with his wife, Cassandra, he bent down and picked up a handful of red earth, running it through his fingers.
“At that moment, the earth felt like soft pastels,” McKee said. “As soon as I got home to my studio, I ordered a set of the finest, soft pastels I could find and began working furiously with the medium. This allowed me to express color
in ways I could only dream bout in the past.”
In addition to meeting award-winning artists and enjoying live musical performances, festival attendees can participate in a world-class wine tasting. For $10, patrons will receive an engraved souvenir wine glass and six tasting tickets. Additional tickets may be purchased for $1. A vast array of domestic and imported wines will be available from wineries, including Aridus Wine Company, Arizona Stronghold, PRP Wine, Schlossadler International, Su Vino, Sogno Toscano, and more.
Admission to the Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival is $3 for adults, and free for children 18 years or younger. For more information, call (480) 837-5637 or visit www.ThunderbirdArtists.com.

Flat Tire and Local Jonny’s mark one-year anniversary
KENDAL O’CONNORSTAFF
CAVE CREEK – A bike shop and coffee house under the same roof might seem like an unusual combination, but Flat Tire and Local Jonny’s have worked together for almost a year to bring something new and unexpected to Cave Creek.
The building they share previously housed Cave Creek Coffee Company, also known as C4, which was one of the first coffee shops in town and was in business for nearly 14 years.
After C4 closed its doors late in 2012 and the building became vacant, Kaolin Cummens, owner of the Flat Tire bike shop, decided to relocate. Cummens then invited his high school friend, Jon Oughterson, to share the empty restaurant space that connects to his new shop.
“The property is a hot commodity,” Cummens said. “Once we got accepted into the bid we had to go up against other people and their business plans, but we beat them out because we’re local and we want to do something that’s different.”
Although Flat Tire has been in business since 1990, this October will mark just a year since Local Jonny’s first opened its doors.
Jon and Lauren Oughterson, the husband and wife duo behind Local Jonny’s, met five years ago when Lauren responded to an employment ad Jon posted on Craigslist, and “the rest is history.”
“[We] never planned on owning a restaurant,” Lauren
Oughterson said. “But this building has so much history for the town, and for Jon specifically, how could we say no to that?”
“It just felt like all the stars sort of lined up,” Jon Oughterson said.
Nestled amongst a sea of coffee shops and bars in Cave Creek and the neighboring town of Carefree, Local Jonny’s aims to appeal to younger crowds that might not want to visit the many country or biker bars in the area. The outdoor patio space behind the restaurant is also home to live music every Friday and Saturday evening, geared to liven up the “sleepy, old country town.”
“We just want to be a different alternative to what’s in town,” Lauren Oughterson said. “There’s a lot of western and antique shops, and that’s kind of the charm of [Cave Creek]. We appreciate that, but we wanted to have a more modern, young vibe here that maybe you wouldn’t get a lot of other places in town.”
The coffee shop-bar hybrid operates under almost 20 employees, and focuses on high-quality coffees and a chef-prepared menu. It also features
a “well-curated” selection of craft beers on tap, with recent additions from Ballast Point Brewing Co. in San Diego.
In a town full of burger joints and barbecue Local Jonny’s offers healthier options, foregoing deep fryers and even microwaves in its kitchen. The menu changes seasonally, but includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes.
“We know that perfection is not really attainable in the service industry, but it’s definitely our goal,” Lauren Oughterson said, especially when it comes to the coffee.
Where coffee is grown, how it’s packaged, stored, and roasted can make or break the perfect cup of joe. Local Jonny’s proudly features a selection of organic, fair trade, and single estate coffees that are freshly roasted and brought in from Firecreek Coffee Co., located in Flagstaff.
“There are so many ways to screw up a perfectly good bean,” Jon Oughterson said. “We really take pride in every little step that one little bean travels from grower to consumer.”

Cross-country event held at the New River Kiwanis Park
NEW RIVER – Last Saturday, the North Phoenix Cross Country held a 2-mile middle school race. Teams came from all over the valley to participate. More than 10 schools were represented, and over 200 runners competed.
Kiwanis members reported that compliments were heard during all through the race about the beautiful scenery, the fine weather, and clean air, all hallmarks of the newly refurbished Kiwanis Community Park. The park
made for the ideal true desert cross country course.
Heather Bush is the coach of the Anthem Prep Middle School Cross Country Team, and was the Chairperson, along with her husband Tom. The Kiwanis Club of New River, along with the North Phoenix Cross Country are looking into more outdoor activities like this in the future.

NORTH VALLEY – A statewide TV special exploring the deadly rise of heroin use in Arizona, created by Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, received two of the region’s top professional honors at the Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards.
“Hooked: Tracking Heroin’s Hold on Arizona,” produced by the Cronkite School, won an Emmy in the category of “Societal Concerns – Program/Special.” The documentary, which was watched by an estimated 1 million Arizonans, also won the Governors Award, marking the first time a journalism school has won these prestigious honors, typically reserved for professional media organizations.
Arizona PBS, which is operated by the Cronkite School, took home two other Rocky Mountain Emmys. “Check, Please! Arizona,” a popular local restaurant review program, won in the category of “Interview/Discussion – Program/Special or Series” for
the fourth time in five years. Arizona PBS producer Jen
Burke won an Emmy Award for a second consecutive year for her work on the weekly arts series “ArtBeat Nation” in the category of “Arts/Entertainment” for the segment “Alabaster Stone Carvers.” The eight-minute piece profiles a local couple who hand gather rare colored and translucent alabasters from the southwestern desert and carve them into remarkable and unusual pieces of art. In 2014, Burke won the Emmy for the “ArtBeat Nation” segment “Tin Can Art.”
The awards were presented by the Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Oct. 17 at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale.
The Emmy-winning “Hooked,” produced in partnership with the Arizona Broadcasters Association, traces the rise of heroin use and its impact in Arizona. More than 70 students and eight faculty members at the Cronkite School worked on the project
under the direction of Cronkite professor Jacquee Petchel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist.
“To be recognized with two of the region’s top professional broadcast news awards is a testament to the tremendous work of our outstanding students and faculty,” said Cronkite School Dean and Arizona PBS CEO Christopher Callahan. “We are extremely proud of their accomplishments, and we will continue to cover the stories that are important to Arizonans.”
In the Student Emmy Awards portion of the ceremony, Cronkite students dominated the competition, winning eight of the 11 awards. Cronkite News, which reaches an estimated 1.9 million households on Arizona PBS, won the Student Emmy Award for best newscast. Cronkite students also took home awards in categories including “News General Assignment,” “Sports,” “Public Affairs/Community Service,” and “Talent.”
Cronkite School’s ‘Hooked’ heroin documentary wins top honors
Navajo Code Talkers subject of Archaeology Society meeting
CAVE CREEK – During WWII a select group of Navajo men enlisted in the Marines with a unique weapon: the Navajo language. Some as young as 16 years old enlisted, and most had never left the Navajo reservation. Forbidden to speak Navajo language at school, they developed a secret code and created new words for radio transmission in the South Pacific. The Japanese military never deciphered the code, and for over 40 years a cloak of secrecy hung over the Code Talker’s service. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed Aug. 14 as National Navajo Code Talker day. At the November Arizona Archaeology Society – Desert Foothills Chapter meeting, Dr. Laura Tohe will describe the Code Talkers’ unique cultural background, how the code was
devised and used, and how Navajo spiritual beliefs were used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting.
Tohe has a B.A. in Psychology from the University of New Mexico and an M.A. and Ph.D. in English (Creative Writing and Literature) from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the English Department at Arizona State University. Tohe was named 2006 Dan Schilling Public Scholar Award by the Arizona Humanities Council and received an Arizona Arts Award nomination from the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona 2009. Tohe is Diné/Navajo. She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. Her father was a Navajo Code Talker. A librettist
and an award-winning poet, she has written three books of poetry, edited a book of Native American Women writing, and the oral history book, Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto, Enemy Slayer, A Navajo Oratorio made its world premiere in 2008 and was performed by The Phoenix Symphony. She is Professor with Distinction in Indigenous Literature at Arizona State University and is the Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation for 2015-2017.
The Nov. 11 meeting is open to the public and starts at 7:30 p.m., with refreshments available at 7 p.m. Meetings are held at The Good Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church, 6502 East Cave Creek Road, in Cave Creek. See more information at www.azarchsoc.org/desertfoothills.

Pet of the Week: Teddy
OMG, look at that face! Teddy is an adorable one year old Schnauzer/Terrier Mix, and he is the friendliest little guy ever. He was found running loose in a high traffic area when a Good Samaritan picked him up and contacted Anthem Pets. Teddy had no I.D., no chip, and his owner never came forward.
Teddy is a really happy and funny little guy, and he is an amazing little snuggler! Teddy is VERY friendly and adores being around dogs and kids. He can hardly contain himself when you walk in the door, and will do this little dance around your feet
to show you how glad he is that you are home! He is still a pup, so some obedience and house training will be needed. We truly love this little guy! Teddy will make a fabulous family pet – will you be the lucky one to call him yours?
Teddy is neutered, fully vaccinated, and micro-chipped. If you are interested in meeting this darling little guy, please fill out our adoption application at anthempets.org. Or email us at [email protected] for more information.
If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help
Anthem Pets, please consider
making a donation so we can
continue to rescue animals like
this from a life of cruelty and
neglect. Or better yet, join our
foster team!
Anthem Pets is a nonprofit
organization serving lost, found,
and abandoned animals in the
North Valley since 2005. Operating
on donations only, it aims to
find forever homes for abandoned
animals and return wayward pets to
owners. For more information, visit
www.anthempets.org.
Starry Knights fundraiser for Camelot Therapeutic
Horsemanship, Nov. 7
SCOTTSDALE – Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship will host its annual fundraiser, Starry Knights, on Saturday, Nov. 7 and will once again shine the spotlight on its extraordinary students.
Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship is a nonprofit organization that teaches horsemanship to children
and adults who have physical disabilities. Camelot, located in north Scottsdale, offers services at no cost to students. Camelot will use funds raised through Starry Knights to continue to offer their horsemanship program to children and adults with disabilities free of charge.
“The theme for this year’s Starry Knights is ‘A Sky Full of Stars’ and represents all of the beautiful, sparkling friendships that develop and thrive at Camelot,” said Camelot’s Executive Director, Mary Hadsall. “At this year’s event we are excited to feature two students’ stories, one child and one adult, who exemplify the generous, joyful, and
determined attitudes that make
Camelot so special.”
The Starry Knights fundraiser
will include dinner, a silent
auction, and a live auction.
The fundraiser will be held at
the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.
