    Black Canyon City brings horror movie to town

    MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

    One brother is from London. The other is from California.

    Last week Owen and Olly Marshall were reunited in of all places Black City.

    Olly, 31, and Owen, 28, are putting together a horror movie called Left Hand Billys Second Solution.

    Owen said the flick is a short 15-minute film that he describes as a Voodoo themed horror romance.

    Were trying to do something a little different and I think it is going to succeed, he said.

    Owen explained that one of the brothers friends, Gabriele Zuccarini had an idea for a film based on the lyrics in a song by his favorite band, Deadbolt.

    They kind of sound like the Beach Boys on acid, Owen said. I guess youd call it Psychobilly.

    Deciding they wanted to put together the movie Olly went about tracking down the band about performing some music for the film. The San Diego based band suggested Sedona might be a good venue for the film.

    So we came out here last November to visit Phoenix, Owen said.

    On their way back from

    Sedona the siblings along with other parts of the crew were drawn off I-17 to have a meal at Bad Ass BBQ Steakhouse.

    We had to see if it actually was bad ass barbeque, he said.

    Not only did the group enjoy the food they decided theyd found their scene for the film.

    We saw the gift shop and the director was sold that it was the place to shoot the film, Owen said.

    As Owen explains it, the story revolves around Pete who falls in love with Lilian, a party girl.

    Pete isnt outgoing at all, Owen said. He keeps to himself, but he really wants this woman. At a party he meets Billy. Hes a voodoo priest who offers him a solution.

    Pete purchases the solution from Billy and is able to slip it to Lilian. While she falls in love with Pete it doesnt exactly work as Pete had envisioned.

    Instead of living happily ever after Lilian follows Pete around in a trance, like a zombie.

    He finds that he cant get rid of her, Owen said. He even takes her and dumps her in the desert and she always finds her way back to him.

    A desperate Pete, holed up in a motel room, which is really an empty gift shop in Black Canyon City, calls Billy

    asking for a way to undo the spell and be rid of Lilian.

    Well, without giving anything away lets just say the second solution comes with a price and it doesnt end well, Owen said.

    Owen said the four-day shoot, which was scheduled to conclude Thursday, would have the crew incorporating shots of Arizona desert.

    Its beautiful, he said. When I came here in November it was the first time Id seen a real cactus. Its just amazing.

    There was one problem when the brothers drove into town the first week of February to prepare for shooting.

    We drove in an RV from Los Angeles and it was ridiculously cold, he said. The story line talks in some detail about the intense desert heat. We were wondering if we were going to have to do some rewriting, but thankfully it has warmed up a bit.

    Having done a number of small pieces previously the brothers are hoping the response they get from this effort, which they plan to enter in various film festivals, might get them noticed.

    Our goal is to be producing major motion pictures at some point soon, he said.

    Boulder Creek senior caps career with state title

    MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

    Having a perfect season is impressive in any sport. But theres a extra value added to it when the perfect season includes more victories than anybody else in the state.

    Winning a state title is worthy of high praise.

    But to do it in such dominating fashion as to be honored by the states coaches takes it to another level.

    Boulder Creek senior Mike Contreras put a stamp on an impressive career by stealing the show at the Toyota Center in Prescott Valley Friday.

    The 140-pounder went into the Div-I state tournament as the top seed and proved time and again why he earned that distinction.

    In capping a 48-0 season, one with more victories than any Div-I wrestler, Contreras finished off his wrestling career with a 17-2 victory over Marshall Varner of Brophy in the finals on Friday.

    My plan was to get the matches done with as quickly as I could, Contreras said. I saw some high ranked kids get upset and I wanted to make sure it didnt happen to me.

    After finishing second in state as a sophomore a shoulder injury cost Contreras his junior year, a situation that fueled his focus and determination to have a memorable senior year.

    Before my matches I thought about having to watch state my junior year, he said. I was looking at guys I beat the previous year getting deep into the tournament. It wasnt a good feeling. That motivated me.

    Coach Kory Gilliland said that his senior never really showed signs that being undefeated or going into the state tournament as the top seed was a burden.

    I think he likes to have that focus on him, he said. He likes the pressure and doesnt mind having the target on his back. He just steamrolled his way through this tournament.

    On Thursdays opening day Contreras started his rumble to a championship by pinning La Joyas Jacob Serna. In the quarterfinals he took down Sunnysides Aaron Steinback by a 9-0 score and in his final match Thursday defeated Victo Haro of Tucson Magnet by an 11-0 margin to reach the finals.

    When he got to the finals he took it to another level, Gilliland said.

    Just as he had in his earlier matches Contreras asserted control early on, jumping to a 5-0 lead by the end of the first period

    The carnage would continue as Contreras led by a 13-0 score at one juncture before surrendering his first point of the tournament late in the second period, one Contreras said he basically gave away.

    At the conclusion of the match Contreras said he was hit by a lot of emotions.

    Its really hard to explain, but all the years, all the hard work, the dedication to watch what you eat, to get up and go running, it was all paid off at that moment. It made it all worth it.

    Later he would find out the coaches named him outstanding wrestler of the tournament.

    Going undefeated for the

    season and winning that were icing on the cake, he said. The goal was always winning state.

    As he looks forward to college Contreras, who earlier this month signed his letter of intent to play football at the Colorado School of Mines, a Div-II program in Golden, Col., isnt sure whether he has wrestled his last match.

    Having missed out on my junior year its a little hard to get looked at, Contreras said. I dont think its out of the question I might wrestle in college. My heart has always leaned toward football, but I think Ive gotten a lot better as a wrestler this year. My technique is a lot stronger than it used to be.

    Both Contreras and his coach agreed though that Contreras greatest attribute is his will to win.

    He has this motor, Gilliland said. Mikey is a next level kid that has things you just cant coach. He has the heart, the drive, the determination. Hes just a competitor that will do whatever it takes to win.

    Two years after taking second in state as a sophomore Mike Contreras earned a state title. On Friday, in Prescott, the senior was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament after rolling to four dominant victories in claiming a state championship in the 140 pound weight class.

    vote on those issues.The See/Fyke winner will

    replace Bill Clower, who elected not to run for reelection.

    The other candidate for the board, Ray Norris, is the lone person running to represent Country Club. Barring an unforeseen write-in candidate he will succeed current board president Jack Noblitt, who decided not to run for reelection.

    Norris, the Anthem Rotary Club president, has lived in Anthem since 2002. In that time he has served on the Anthem Country Club HOA board and started Anthem Neighborhood Watch.

    At a forum which had an audience that numbered in the 20s Norris was asked how to inspire a larger turnout for Anthem Community Council meetings.

    The day I win Im going to go to the president of the Country Club HOA and ask that our meetings be sent out to the members through an e-mail blast. If people get a chance to look at the agendas hopefully theyll see things theyre interested in and want to get involved with. I dont know why, but most people must not feel as though their input is wanted or valued at these meetings. We need to change that.

    In addition to helping residents be more informed about the issues facing the council, making them feel as though they have a voice in the decision making process was a second one the candidates addressed.

    See, who served as Anthems Parkside vice president and on Parksides finance/rules committee, was asked what his relationship as a home owner is with the community council.

    Well, they send me a bill and they send me a Freedom Way every month. Thats about it. Weve got to do something to get more people involved. Nobody comes to these meetings. Maybe they need to give away door prizes or something.

    In addition to believing the meetings are simply a time crunch Fyke said the council is still trying to dig out of a hole created by past councils.

    I think the home owners

    distrust the council, he said. I dont think thats fair to this current council, but I think theres some work that has to be done to change the perception.

    Fyke, who has created a Facebook page for his campaign, believes that the Communications committee should be allowed to move forward with many of its proposals to use social media including Facebook and Twitter to help resident be informed and also to help promote the community.

    We could be using video conferencing, we should be streaming these meetings, he said. There are a lot of things we could be doing to help our residents be more informed.

    All three candidates agreed that the biggest decision currently facing the board is what to do with the recommendations made by Swaback Partners. In looking to add amenities ranging from office space for the Council and HOA staff, the performing arts, senior services among others Swaback offered a scenario where an addition could be made to the current community center, or the community could form a Main Street environment that would be a draw for the community.

    See said that he would be inclined to keep the money in

    the bank. If he was forced to choose between one of the two options he said an addition to the current community center made more sense.

    Fyke said he found the options intriguing, but was left with plenty of questions that he needed answered before he could form an opinion, particularly concerning the Main Street idea, and the availability of the property needed to complete such a project.

    Norris said he sees both things he likes and some concerns when looking at the proposals from Swaback.

    Ive heard from some people that are upset and some that liked it, he said. I guess Id just ask that people remain open minded. There are thing about it that Im uncomfortable with, but there are other aspects that I can see having a positive effect on our property values.

    Supporting the local business community was another topic discussed. Fyke said he would strongly support the reinstatement of a business representative on the community council board. See said he wouldnt oppose such a concept, but doesnt deem it a pressing need while Norris said he would defer to his senior council members, but said on the surface he thought it made sense and would create good will.

    seek to provide a perspective in my paintings which invites viewers to see beauty in the everyday objects which surround us.

    When I am setting up a painting composition, I am seeking to capture the play of light upon the objects which will allow me to employ the colors, shapes and textures of the objects as tools to transform from everyday to eye-catching in the eyes of the beholder.

    Beyond the chance to both view and create art attendees will have the chance to listen to live music

    from the likes of Vibhas Kendzia and Chris Laterzo. Specialty food items will be available as well.

    The Sonoran Arts League really is a quality group, Budan said. Stagecoach Village is a wonderful location. Its fun to be in that setting with the acoustic guitars and the views. It really adds to the ambience.

    Id say it surprises me how this event has grown over the years, but its an opportunity to enjoy some of the finest artists in the country, Liebow said. If that isnt enough you have live

    music, interactive opportunities to create art yourself, its a great time of year to have an art show in the Valley. And in this economy the best part is its a free show. It should be a great weekend.

    Stagecoach Village is located at 7100 E. Cave Creek Road in Cave Creek. For more information on the Festival of Fine Art or the Sonoran Arts League, please call 480-575-6624, email [email protected] or visit www.sonoranartsleague.org.

    Cactus Shadows soccer teams fall in Tucson

    MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

    In a little more than 24 hours two Cactus Shadows soccer teams saw their bids at state soccer titles slip out of reach in Tucson.

    A day after the Cactus Shadows girls team fell 3-0 to Catalina Foothills in the 4A Div-I semifinals the Cactus Shadows boys team went down to defeat Thursday by the score of 3-1, also to Catalina Foothills.

    After rolling their way to the

    semifinals, with a 6-0 win over Prescott and a 3-1 win over Apollo, the fourth seeded girls team from Cactus Shadows faced the top seed, Catalina Foothills.

    In a rematch of a game from back in December, which Cactus Shadows won in a shootout the Falcons simply didnt get any breaks in the rematch according to coach Jeff Vittorio.

    I really felt like we controlled the game, he said. Especially for the first 30 minutes we were clearly the better team, but we

    failed to capitalize.In a game of near misses for

    the Falcons Cactus Shadows hit the post twice in the first 15 minutes of the game.

    Catalina Foothills scored the first goal of the game six minutes before halftime on what Vittorio described as a fluke goal.

    We tried to clear and the ball landed at the feet of one of their players, he said. She miss hit it from 6-yards out, but it still managed to find the net.

    Despite being down Vittorio said his team stayed confident. Eventually though the team from Cave Creek was forced to press the issue and gave up two goals late.

    The score doesnt reflect much about the game, he said. I was disappointed for the girls, but wasnt upset at all. I told the girls we wont have any regrets. They know we played well. Thats what makes the game great. No matter what happens any team can beat another on a given day. It was just one of those strange games where we didnt get any breaks.

    Catalina Foothills went on to win the state championship 1-0 on Saturday, defeating No. 6 Sabino.

    Vittorio said the teams 19-3-1 record was the product of a dedicated bunch of seniors.

    Lauren (Lazo) is a completely special talent. I think she was the best player in the state this year and often looked like she was a woman among girls. Taryn

    (Mcclendon) was such a dynamic goal scorer. She had 27 goals and she missed six games. Bethany Park probably is giving right backs that faced her nightmares. She was so deadly from the left side, just a fantastic player. And then Tiffiny Maitland, my captain, has been with me since her freshman season. She is a great leader, plays with heart and anchored our defense. I had nine seniors and I couldnt say a bad thing about any of them, she said.

    Despite the losses the coach was confident that his team will remain strong.

    Our time will come, he said. Well be loaded again next year.

    Stunt group bring more old west flair to Cave Creek

    MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR

    For a community that has a logo sporting Catherine Jones, a historic Cave Creek sheriff s deputy smiling while taking aim with her weapon, and the slogan Perfectly Uncivilized the Southwest Legend Gunfighters would seem to fit in quite nicely.

    The Wild West theatrical stunt performance team, which has been performing around the Valley for more than 20 years, has recently been adopted by Cave Creek, which has designated the outfit, led by Chaz Lee, as its hometown troupe.

    Lees group, which consists of screen actors guild members as

    well as professional stunt men and women, will be in Cave Creek for a pair of performances at 7 p.m. and then at 7:30 Saturday at the Buffalo Chip.

    Calling Arizona the last stop of the Wild West Lee said the history of the area captures the imagination of people.

    I think its such an interest

    to so many Americans because it was a time of discovering dreams, he said. It was a bloody part of our history too. There was a lot of unknowns traveling through vast territories. People headed west toward the gold rush and they encountered Mexican banditos and Indians. I think the mystique of it is that it was an adventure. People lived for the moment because they knew they might be dead tomorrow. They didnt take things for granted.

    In putting on their performances Lee said the group can pull from any of 30 different shows that they have created featured the period between 1880-1893.

    We have two historians that keep us on point, and then we have a bunch of amazing writers, Lee said. We have shows that are geared more toward comedy. Some are more romantic and then they all have some good action with fights or gun battles in them.

    The group, which has previously performed in

    the Fiesta Days Parade and during Wild West Days in Cave Creek, has 36 members around the country with some 20 in Arizona.

    The local members meet in Paradise Valley for rehearsals twice a month to ready for any number of corporate events that they participate in.

    Recently members were involved in a pair of yet to be released feature films, one shot in Taos, New Mexico and the other one in Maricopa.

    This weekend Lee said hes looking forward to the event in Cave Creek.

    Well bring some Wild West high adrenaline out there and put on two completely different shows, he said. We mingle with the crowd as if theyre in that time period. We always have fun coming out there and well always support Cave Creek.

    The Buffalo Chip Saloon is located at 6811 E. Cave Creek Road in Cave Creek.

    Valentines spirit lives on today

    around the Bluhmin town

    JUDY BLUHMSPECIAL FOR

    THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS

    Were you ready for love? I hope so, because Valentines Day just passed. Its not too late to orders flowers (red roses, of course), buy a box of decadence (chocolate covered cherries) and get the best bottle of champagne that you can afford. Prepare to celebrate love in honor of this most romantic of all days that actually got started in the Fifth century as a pagan holiday.

    This one special day of romance, love and candy had its beginnings in Rome, when mid- February marked the annual Lupercian festival, an ode to the God of fertility. It was one huge pagan celebration of sensual pleasures. Evidently, those Romans knew how to party, because it became the season to fall in love and marry. Then, Claudius II became emperor, and the party stopped. Claudius felt that romance and marriage only weakened men (sadly, my husband agrees), and in order to assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage!

    A bishop named Valentine, seeing the trauma of young lovers, met them in a secret place and joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. When Claudius learned of this, he labeled Valentine a friend of lovers and had him arrested. Unless Valentine agreed to worship the Roman Gods and stop marrying young couples, he would be executed. Valentine was a man of faith and conviction, and would not be swayed by the mad emperor. While he was in jail waiting his fate, he fell in love with his jailers daughter, Asterius.

    Just before his execution, Valentine wrote a farewell message to his love, and signed it Be mine . . your Valentine. And you thought those little heart shaped candies with sayings like be mine were nothing more than a candy companys ploy!

    It is true love and real passion that brings us to the present day cultural phenomenon of Valentines Day. Valentine was a man who died for his convictions. Most of all, he was a man in love. Legend has it that he wrote love notes in his own blood (red) and wore a red scarf at his execution.

    Red is the universal color of love. Did you know that there is a surge in sales of all things red during the entire month of February? More red nail polish, red cars, red roses, red dresses, rubies and chocolate covered cherries will be sold the first two weeks of February than any other time of the year! Red is the color of the heart and considered the color of passion. There is nothing quiet so thrilling as a dozen red roses accompanied by a little card that says, Be Mine. (Doug, are you reading this?)

    The bishop who died for his cause, became elevated to a saint by Pope Gelasius, hence Saint Valentine represented the meaning of pure love. The pagan festival that the Romans had celebrated was substituted with the med-February festival of Valentines Day, which takes us to our current state of affairs. Its just one big love-fest this month. Romantics unite! Why not join in on the fun and keep the spirit of love alive all month long?

    If youve been a little lax in the love department, now is the time to show your honey that you, too, can be as romantic as an ancient bishop from Rome. Definitely buy, wear and give something red. Sip something bubbly, be bold in your expressions of pure love. Go ahead, be courageous and give someone you love a note, signed with the most famous and romantic of all phrases, Your Valentine. If you forgot the day its not too late! Lets all emulate the late, great, real Valentine, and be friends of lovers.

    opinions and lettersIntervention in

    your governmentOn the cover of this weeks

    edition of The Foothills Focus there is a story about the candidates running for the Anthem Community Council.

    Does it surprise or concern you that only one candidate is running for the Country Club seat on the Anthem Community Council and two candidates are running for the right to represent Parkside? What are you looking for in the person that represents you?

    All three candidates in one way or another expressed a sentiment that there is dissatisfaction, at least among some in the community, in the way they are represented by the board.

    Is that a long held belief ? Has it changed for the better or worse in the last year?

    What would it take to increase attendance at the monthly meetings? Is it lack of time, lack of interest, lack of knowledge of when the meetings are, of what issues are being discussed or a feeling that community voices arent heard? Or are you satisfied with the job being done? If you regularly attend how would you rank the job board members are doing?

    Donor inspires Anthem womanEvery family, business,

    government, and non-profit organization these days is facing similar challenges of keeping up services and making budgets. It is easy to get emotionally and physically bogged down in those day to day trials that seem to loudly claim our attention. Thursday was one of those days for me. Then into my office walked a very private, quiet member of ProMusica Arizona and he simply handed me an envelope. Inside was this touching letter.

    To ProMusica Arizona,Please accept the enclosed check for

    $109.20 to cover the costs associated with the purchase of 70 copies of Lee Denglers choral work, Things That Never Die, to be performed by PMAZ in March, 2011.

    I think Charles Dickens lyrics, the basis of the work, are particularly germane to the aftermath of the mass shooting in Tucson in January, 2011. Its message of longing for something lost, the spirits yearning cry, the striving after better hopes.... and the promise that these things can never die provide reassurance and hope to all who have suffered from the aftermath of

    the Tucson tragedy. I know it is the practice of PMAZ

    to affix a dedicatory note to each piece of music that has been purchased/donated by a community member. I would like to suggest the following dedication.

    In memory of the 19 people shot, including six killed, in Tucson on January 8, 2011

    I wish to remain anonymous, please do not include my name on the dedicatory sticker.

    This mans generosity and

    thoughtfulness touched me deeply and brought tears to my eyes. His quiet actions

    remind us all that there is kindness, goodness and strength surrounding us in this community. We but have to sift through the clamoring noise that tends to claim more attention than it rightfully should.

    I wish I could thank him publicly for his kind gift but will respect his wish to remain anonymous.

    On March 18th and 19th at 7:30pm at Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center, the 120 volunteer members of ProMusica Arizona Chorale and Orchestra will be performing a concert entitled Beethovens Fantasy including

    the above mentioned song and an entire evening of music dedicated to renewal, triumph over adversity and the optimism of Spring. Ninteenth century poet Bethold Auerbach said, Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. I invite you at attend this concert and do just that.

    Connie Campbell Henry, Business ManagerProMusica Arizona Choral& Orchestra 623-465-4650 www.promusicaaz.org

    In the 12 years that I have served on the Town Council, my priority has always been you, the citizen. Whether it was infringement of personal privacy rights, health and safety, or just helping to deal with a problem on a personal level, you came first. This position has put me in conflict with numerous past and sitting council members. But, never has my position been so at odds as with this councils leadership. The new

    addition to the Town Code requiring a council member to copy all e-mails received from constituents exposing their names and e-mail addresses, I consider a major invasion of privacy. During this administration a court order, as well as the intervention of the Goldwater Institute were required to protect citizens rights. These abuses are a rather sad and pathetic commentary for Carefree.

    I have worked side by side with Doug Stavoe and I have come to respect his positions. While we may not agree on all issues, I have full confidence that Doug will represent all the people and not just special interest groups. And most importantly, he will respect and protect citizen rights, something that has not and never will be done by David Schwan. Along with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, State Legislator David Smith, and Barry Goldwater

    Jr., I fully support and endorse Doug Stavoe for mayor. When voting for council members, I can only ask you to vote your conscience, and that means BulletVoting. Contact the candidates directly, read up on their positions on issues that are important to you. You do not have to vote for six, vote only for those that will support your interests. If there is only one, that is fine. Make your vote count. You will also be voting on three

    propositions; two on a property tax and one on term limits for council members. All three have merit and benefit citizens and their right to participate in their local government. I strongly urge you to support all three. David Schwan has publicly stated his opposition to all three of these citizen friendly propositions.
