Is There a Similar Arizona Case?
of speech. At the top of the free speech pyramid is political speech, which has historically been given the highest level of constitutional protection. So if people have heightened protections to engage in political speech, why should those rights go away if like-minded people join together and form a corporation? On this point, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, “The individual person’s right to speak includes the right to speak in association with other individuals.” Justice Anthony Kennedy stated, “It is inherent in the nature of the political process that voters must be free to obtain information from diverse sources in order to determine how to cast their votes.” Consequently, the government cannot constitutionally suppress political speech merely because the speaker is a corporation.
During the 2010 election, an organization called the Committee for Justice and Fairness ran an ad attacking a Republican candidate’s alleged views on statutory rape and on child pornography. He filed complaints claiming that the committee was not following Arizona election law. The committee admitted that it was a political organization and was funded by the Democratic Attorneys General Association. It spent approximately $1.5 million to produce and to broadcast the commercial. However, based on the Citizens United case, the committee argued that it was not subject to the election laws in Arizona that existed at the time. The Arizona Court of Appeals disagreed and held that the laws did not prohibit the political speech by the committee, it merely required compliance with the disclosure requirements.

High Notes A local teen follows his passion for music to success. By Michelle Talsma Everson
SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jacob Robert Soulliere has an admirable life goal: to leave a mark on the world that has worth. “I want to leave a legacy like Luciano Pavarotti [a well-known Italian operatic tenor who crossed into pop music]. Anything is possible with the right resources,” he says. With his work ethic and impressive singing resume so far, Jacob is certainly on the right path. Adopted from Bulgaria, Jacob explains that he began to interpret music on his own at age 7 by learning to play the piano, an instrument he still plays. He then started singing at age 9. “I was a soprano for the best boys choir in the United States, the Phoenix Boys Choir,” he explains. “I was in the Phoenix Boys Choir for four years then graduated to the ‘best of the best’ and joined Masters Choir [the highest level of the Phoenix Boys Choir] for two years.” Jacob says he learned more than 200 pieces of music during his time with the Phoenix Boys Choir. “I have a four octave vocal range and I have been singing second bass for three years,” he explains. Last year, he won an Honorable Mention at the Arizona Musicfest in the Young Musicians Vocal Competition. He has also
20 || 85086MAGAZINE.com || OCTOBER 2016
performed in popular shows—such as a musical rendition of Lord of the Rings—both locally and nationally. “For these two weeks [while doing the Lord of the Rings show] I was under direction of Ludwig Wicki where I performed with the Pacific Coral Choir, Munich Symphony Orchestra, and sung with the main female soloist Kaitlyn Lusk,” he adds. “I received a special recognition from the office of the governor and a personal letter from John McCain regarding my representation of Arizona in such a fine way.” Like his hero Luciano Pavarotti, Jacob is working on bringing his classical vocal talents to the mainstream. Some of his most recent works include working with Disney on several vocal soundtrack sessions; making multiple television appearances; and working with big musical names like Dennis Rowland (a jazz vocalist) and Bob Chilcott (a British choral composer). “I have performed in one of the houses built by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. I have sung the National Anthem multiple times at Chase Field. I most recently auditioned for the series America's Got Talent,” he adds. “Most recently, I performed at the Anthem Veterans Memorial in front of at least 1,000 people. I later
A freshman diver takes a leap off the high dive.
Meanwhile, the divers practice from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. They are also preparing for state. Each participant is required to qualify for a qualifying meet and make it in the top 32. The qualifying score for girls is 250 points, while the boys need a 286. From there, each diver gives a list of 11 of their best dives they want to compete with. The first five rounds everyone dives and then the field is narrowed down to 20 divers. The next cut is after three rounds, with 15 divers left. Those 15 divers then compete their entire list. Scores are usually around 450 points or more for the girls, and the boys usually see 480 or more. When asked about what he loves most about being part of swim and dive, senior Cooper Salmen says, “Waking up at 5:30 a.m. every Monday through Saturday to swim and then do it again in the afternoon.” Meanwhile, senior Dakota Rubie says, “I like to see all the goals everyone exceeds during the season, as well as practicing with those who work hard by going to morning practice.” Junior Ella Stephens was asked the same question. She responded with: “Seeing everyone succeed after all their hard work.” It’s apparent that these kids are truly team players and are supportive of one another. It will be exciting to see the results of all their efforts.

First Impressions The body language pro gives tips to make that first impression memorable. By Paige Bailey
IF YOU WATCH body language pro Barbara Chatzkel in any group setting, the first thing you’ll notice is how intently she observes everything that is going on. As an expert in business body language, Barbara knows that more than 50 percent of a person’s message is delivered nonverbally. Everybody, every day, and everywhere observes and interprets the body language of others and also sends out their own flow of body language messages.
What is body language? Body language is the nonverbal communication as a means of transmitting information. It includes body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. There are five body language broadcast centers. The face is the most important body language communicator, but it’s the feet and legs that don’t lie and tell your true message. Your arms set the stage for the rest of your message that is delivered by the torso and your hands and fingers.
You only have one chance to make a first impression As a body language pro, Barbara works with individuals, groups, and executive teams helping them deliver the first impression and the ongoing reputation that they seek. At a recent Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce meeting, she presented to fellow chamber members. Heather Maxwell, the chamber’s executive director, says, “Barbara presented an abbreviated version of her Business Body Language presentation at a recent chamber Morning Meeting and it was one of our highest rated presentations.” Anthem area residents are invited to attend a Body Language workshop presented by Barbara Chatzkel and hosted by the Anthem Community Council as part of its new Mind Quest series. “The concept of Anthem Mind Quest was inspired by the popular TED Talks— short, powerful, nonpartisan speeches by experts in their fields. With this series at the Civic Building, diversity, culture, and open-mindedness will be encouraged in the community by providing high-caliber, university-style speakers to con-

Play Ball! The Anthem AZ Pickleball Club takes off.
By Michelle Talsma Everson Photos by Chadwick Fowler
B
oro Reljic, president of the Anthem AZ Pickleball Club (AAZPC), describes pickleball as “a great game with a memorable name.” Given that the AAZPC has more than 100 members after being established less than a year, you could say that the unique sport is definitely taking off locally with players from all walks of life.
Pickleball Basics According to the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA), pickleball is a fast growing sport that “combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong.” It can be played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net; players use a paddle and a plastic ball with holes; and it can be played as doubles or singles, cites the USAPA. “Pickleball is a racquet sport that is a combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis,” explains Jennifer Kaul, a local player and secretary of the AAZPC. “It is played with solid paddles and a ball similar to a wiffle ball. The pickleball basics are very easy to learn so one can start playing games right away. There are endless opportunities for improvement once one starts to play, through clinics, online learning, videos, and practice. While speed and agility can be helpful, pickleball is a very strategic sport where patience and ball placement are key.”
A Homegrown Community of Players Locally, the AAZPC is active playing pickleball at the Anthem Community Center and the Anthem Country Club. Depending on the time of year, the club’s numbers fluctuate but members estimate that the club has anywhere from 100 to 150 active participants. Many members cite the fact that
the sport is perfect for players of all ages and abilities as a key reason for its popularity. George Rendon is a local player who serves on the AAZPC Board and has been playing pickleball for more than a year. “I’m 78 years old; I used to be a good athlete, especially at tennis,” George says. “Pickleball has been a great way to keep active; it’s great exercise and it’s a neat way to meet new people.” Cassandra Caton, a pickleball player since 2012, moved to Anthem with her husband this past spring and joined the club right away as a way to get involved in her new community. “One of our criteria for our new home and neighborhood was that there had to be pickleball courts. I would not move into any area without this sport,” Cassandra explains. “I joined the club to get involved with the growth of this sport in our community and to be an advocate for designated pickleball courts at the community center.” “Pickleball is the best way to meet new friends in a new neighborhood and we were thankful to get plugged in immediately,” she continues. “A pickleball community is a friendly and open community of folks who love this sport, love sharing it, and welcome new players.” While George affirms that pickleball is great for older players, Cassandra adds that it’s also ideal as a family sport. “The USAPA Junior Program is growing and there are boys and girls brackets in many of the tournaments, especially nationals,” she explains. “… I have also taught kids in the Boys & Girls Clubs. It’s the desire of this club to reach

out to the schools here in Anthem, in grades 5–12, and approach the PE instructors about introducing this [pickleball] into the schools' PE curriculum or after school programs. It’s easy to teach to folks of all ages.” Barb Patterson, a player and vice president of the AAZPC, says that the ideal age for youth to start playing pickleball is around 9 or 10 years old.
Serving Up a Bright Future With cooler temperatures on the horizon and winter residents coming back for the season, the AAZPC is looking forward to continued growth. “As the weather cools off, there will be more opportunities to play both at the hockey rink [at the ACC] and country club,” says Jennifer. Boro adds that, this fall, the club will begin playing leagues by skill level and that there will be a volunteer appreciation party on Nov. 11 (event details are still in the works).
36 || 85086MAGAZINE.com || OCTOBER 2016
“This fall we hope to have some guided play, which is helping new members learn the game as well as advancing the more advanced players in the sport,” Barb says. “We are looking forward to the fall when this sport explodes even more with the return of the many snowbirds that play this sport,” Cassandra says. “Our challenge will be to find enough courts and court time for all who want to play. We can't get eight to 12 courts in our community center fast enough. We [also] have the possibility of bringing to our club one of the top female professional pickleball players to teach clinics and provide private lessons.” To learn more about the AAZPC, visit anthemazpickleball.com.

A Wicked Soiree
It’s time to plan a Halloween party for you and your guests! To the desserts to the decorations, here are some ideas for planning your next spooky shindig. By Jamila Watson Photos by Kourtney Marie Photography
Try a wicked but classy black and white Halloween color scheme. Think Edgar Allen Poe. Invest in Halloween décor and props you can use each year. Most of the Halloween items I’ve purchased over the years I can use again. For this party, I went with skulls, spiders, and pumpkins. Don’t be afraid to be crafty. If you have a few items that don’t match your color scheme, use my secret weapon—spray paint. Add a little Halloween mood lighting from your local party store or dim the lights and add a few candles. Ask for help with decorating. When I’m planning a party for a client or a personal party, I always make sure to bring an assistant. Have each person work on a specific area. Have fun decorating the outside of your house, the entryway (the front of the house and entryway will give the first impression) and key areas inside like the living room and kitchen area. 40 || 85086MAGAZINE.com || OCTOBER 2016

44 || 85086MAGAZINE.com || OCTOBER 2016
JOY AND HAZEL came into our lives after the mother and daughter canine duo were found abandoned near Joy Ranch Road. The dogs were starving and in poor health and, given that they were found in Anthem, they were immediately taken to Anthem Pets, which saved their lives. With the help of Daisy Mountain Veterinarian Hospital, Joy and Hazel (formerly known as Sedona), made a full recovery after two months of care. The rescue did not want to separate the two after all they had been through. Hazel was very attached to Joy and couldn’t bear to be without her. The separation anxiety for Hazel was a
major issue that we have finally begun to break. Fortunately this was a blessing in disguise for us because it allowed us to get both of them. Hazel had over 20 applications in the first few days, meanwhile there were only a handful for the two of them together. Joy was already matured, patient, and extremely kind and loving. Hazel was your typical puppy that was very curious about her new surroundings. Overall they are a perfect pair that Susie and I are extremely thankful for. We absolutely love that they are mother and daughter. Their interactions are hilarious and amazing. We watched Joy teach Hazel how to be

We settled into our camp. My humans cooked us up a nice meal. As the sun started going down after dinner, the wild called for me. Kuma reached this lake near Maroon Bells. I don’t have to explain this to my fellow dogs. Sometimes, you just have to run. I bolted out of the camper and took off like I was on fire. I was free with no leash. The scents were exhilarating.

She was deathly worried about my safety. She mentioned words like bears, coyotes, and moose. Maybe that’s what I smelled. The evening got quite chilly. We all snuggled close in the sleeping bags. But by morning, the temps were just perfect for a grand hike. And hike we did. We started off with the scenic trail first, which is a three-mile loop. My humans took all sorts of pictures. We saw SAT., OCT. 15TH SAT., NOV. 12TH moose drinking out of the lake, lots of birds, marmots, and a fox. We then decided to head on up to the Crater Lake for an additional 3.5 mile trek up. This meant gaining some serious elevation, so if you attempt this hike, be sure everyone in your party is acclimated 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and in good condition.

CooLifting
New treatment promises to erase wrinkles. By Elizabeth Hausman
IF YOU THOUGHT younger looking skin could only be achieved by enduring traumatic and invasive facial treatments that involved needles and downtime, it’s time to think again. There is a new treatment called CooLifting that was launched in Barcelona, Spain, that is now available at limited medical spas in the United States. This new treatment blasts wrinkles away in less than 5 minutes with no downtime, no pain, no needles, and immediate results. The company’s motto: 5 minutes to remove 10 years. CooLifting is designed to easily and quickly treat the whole face and can also be used on the neck and chest. The CooLifting Gun uses compressed CO2 combined with proprietary hyaluronic acid (hydrating serum) that is delivered at a very high pressure and a very low temperature to literally blast wrinkles away in minutes. The secret to the effectiveness lies in the combination of the cold CO2 flow (cryophoresis) and the atomized hyaluronic acid serum being applied under high pressure (barophoresis) on the epidermis. This allows for an intense penetration of the active ingredients and an exponential increase in their effectiveness. The thermal shock that is caused by bringing an external intense cold source suddenly to warm skin, which is normally at 97 degrees Fahrenheit, generates a dermis reaction that is deep and

instantaneous, thus stimulating the underlying tissues. At the same time, blood vessels in the skin contract and expand alternatively to counter the cold (an action known as paradoxical vessel-motricity). This activates blood circulation that induces the production of collagen and elastin while increasing oxygenation in the tissues. After a CooLifting treatment, clients can expect to see an immediate lifting effect, softening of superficial and deep wrinkles, reduction of deep skin-folds, an increase in collagen and elastin stimulation, dermis regeneration, and an improvement of skin texture and tone. CooLifting could potentially become the most spectacular and fastest treatment available to challenge passing time. 2 Who can benefit from the treatment? Anyone desiring facial rejuvenation, prevention, and treatment of wrinkles, improved skin tone, and texture can benefit from the treatment. CooLifting is safe for all skin types and can be used on sensitive skin. Clients of all ages can benefit from the intense hydration that the treatment provides. 2 Are there side effects or downtime associated with treatment? No side effects have been reported. CooLifting is a safe, non-invasive, painless, no downtime procedure. As a matter of fact, it’s a perfect “red-carpet” treatment before a special event such as a black-tie dinner, wedding, or class reunion. 2 What type of results can be expected? The treatment generates both immediate and long-term effects that include lifting and smoothing of the skin, reduction of both
