staying in state after high school with an all-expense paid admission to Arizona Christian University. She hopes to gain degrees in teaching with a minor in biblical studies and an emphasis in coaching. Emily Zembik, who was offered a 60 percent softball scholarship that totals out to approximately $26,000, will attend the University of Rhode Island and major in criminal justice. When asked why she chose to decide her university so early, she responded, “So that my dream would finally become a reality.” For BCHS’s male athletes, Cory Crooks, Cooper Langston, and Mitchell Allen also committed to schools early. Cory Crooks, a talented wrestler, earned a scholarship value of approximately $18,000 from Grand Canyon University. Golfer Cooper Langston has committed to South Mountain Community College in Phoenix with the intention of pursuing a degree in financing. San Diego State University’s baseball program will be welcoming Mitchell Allen onto their team. Mitchell was first seen by SDSU while on his travel ball team. “Eventually they made me an offer and I was happy to take it,” says Mitchell. A sport that is not offered at Boulder Creek is equestrian. However, that did not stop Georgia Smith from being scouted by Baylor University. Due to her rigorous academic achievements and athletic ability, this not only enabled her to obtain a scholarship but also influenced her deciding major, biology. “My plan as of right now is to be a large animal veterinarian,” she says. Haley Villegas began playing basketball at the age of 4 because her family “has always played—it was just a sport we all got into,” she says. With her full-ride scholarship valued over $33,000, she will attend Embry Riddle Aeronautics University in the fall. She has the honor of helping establish the first-ever women’s basketball team at Embry Riddle. Meanwhile, Rachel Kjolberg will be entering California State University Monterey Bay’s pre-med program, as well as joining their volleyball team. She decided to commit early to CSUMB because she is “positive that this is the school I want to go to.” BCHS is incredibly honored to have so many athletes who are already committed to schools so early. Congratulations to the 10 seniors for deciding their first steps into their futures as they embark on new journeys. Don’t forget that you were first a Boulder Creek Jaguar.

Weather in Review A month-by-month look at the weirdest Arizona weather year—ever! By Shelley Sakala
I WASN’T QUITE sure we’d make it to 2016. Between the monsoon that wasn’t, the earthquake that was, and the mulch fire that became The Neverending Story, last year started feeling a little apocalyptic. We’ve always had a few weird weather phenomena each year, but I cannot recall another time when so many of them hit us back-to-back-to-back. So before we officially move forward with the new year, let’s take one last look at the month-by-month craziness that was 2015.
February February and warm should never be used in the same sentence. But this was the second hottest February in Phoenix history. Coming off the prior month’s freeze warnings, this felt even stranger. Opinions on whether this was a good or bad thing are as polarizing as the daily thermostat wars between spouses. Just agree to disagree and blame it on global warming.
January Phoenix had a freeze warning in effect for several days, which isn’t actually very strange— except for what followed the next month…
March It actually hit 97 degrees in March. That’s just straight-up ridiculousness, especially with an average high of 80 degrees. Come on, Mother Nature—give spring a chance.
April
May
June
July
One night in April, 18-to-20 ambercolored orbs appeared in the skies above Phoenix, hovering for a minute before disappearing into the night sky. Cries of UFO were heard near and far throughout the Valley, while an equally vocal contingency of people immediately tried to debunk the story. Weather balloons? Flares? Little green men? Despite my credentials as a certified meteorologist I simply cannot say. But if the aliens do show up and they’re reading this article right now—don’t probe me, bro.
Record-setting rainfall sandwiched between 100-degree days at the beginning and end of the month. That’s plain weird. It’s the time of year when you dress in layers: tank top, cardigan, sunscreen, rain poncho, and flip-flops.
June made the Phoenix alltime top-10 for both hottest month and most rain. This must be what Costa Rica feels like: mucky, miserable, and wreaking havoc on anyone with naturally curly hair. But it’s a dry humidity. Yuck.
Donald Trump held a rally in Phoenix and it had to be moved to the Phoenix Convention Center to accommodate all the supporters. Does this signal the End Times? You decide.

Formalize the Structure Too many times, masterminds are created between a group of friends or acquaintances with good intentions but bad structure. There needs to be a formality to your group to ensure it lives on in perpetuity and maximizes everyone’s time efficiently. If you can structure the parameters of your group before you reach out to members, you can give them a document that will show them the value of what you’re trying to create while holding them accountable for maintaining that structure if they join. This needs to be a written, shared document all members agree to uphold. Here are some suggestions to consider when drafting your mastermind group structure. • How many members are in the group, and if members leave, how are new members added? • When does the group meet, weekly or bi-weekly? • How long are your meetings and who is accountable for setting the timer to keep it on target? • What is the agenda and meeting structure like? • Does organization or agenda creation switch between group members or is one accountable for each meeting?
• Will the group meet over the phone or online or in-person? • How are documents and ideas shared? Google hangout? Facebook group? • What is the policy for absences from the group?
Require a Strict Commitment Speaking of absences, once you have the parameters of the mastermind in place and you’ve reached out to members, make sure you require a strict commitment from everyone as a requirement of joining. A mastermind group will not be effective if people habitually skip meetings, don’t come prepared, chitchat during this time, or otherwise treat the group lackadaisically. Upon starting the group, get each member’s feedback on how it will run and who will do what, and make sure the commitment is made by all, to all, for the continued success of the mastermind. When treated like the important business success tool that a mastermind is, your group can help everyone involved rocket launch their success together.

distributes news and information electronically in a weekly newsletter and on social media. Craig announced a new individual membership level for non-business owners, residents, and retirees, who want to get involved in chamber activities. He also discussed the efforts of the chamber and Anthem Community Council to align resources and priorities across the two organizations. Heading into 2016, the chamber and ACC hope to partner on economic development initiatives designed to drive business growth for Anthem and the surrounding areas. One of the most exciting announcements of the night was the partnership between the chamber and Anthem Young Professionals, establishing a junior chamber of sorts. Active members of the Anthem Young Professionals network will receive full chamber business membership at a discounted rate for up to three years. In addition to the AYP’s networking events and substantial community service and charity work, plans for 2016 include professional development seminars and lunch
round tables to foster professional growth and civic engagement among area young professionals. To commemorate the partnership, Craig announced that the chamber would be unveiling a new award, the Leadership in Action award, recognizing leadership among the Anthem Young Professionals network. Anthem Young Professionals founding member Jennifer Uhlig was presented with this award. Craig wrapped up the chamber announcements by revealing the newly revamped board of directors structure and announcing the winning candidates of the first membership-voted board of directors elections. Nanette Miller and Debbie Navarrete were elected by membership vote to fill the two open director seats with three-year terms. Returning board members include Craig Boates, Bonnie Smith, David Newham, and Shelly Spence. Jenna Kohl will return to serve in the Anthem Community Council seat and Eric Twohey was appointed to the Anthem Young Professionals seat. Meanwhile, the Anthem Community Council’s Excellence in Community Ser-
vice award went to D.L. Jones & Associates. A tie vote resulted in two businesses being recognized for Anthem Community Council’s Commercial Property Improvements award: Hair-N-Dipity Salon & Spa and FPI Studios. The 2015 Business Person of the Year was Dennis L Jones. Dennis walked up to accept the award amid a standing ovation and spoke with grace and humor about his humble beginnings, fierce competition, and business success. He said he and wife, Lisa, live by the principle that, “To whom much is given, much is required.” Jones went on to credit associates Dick and Jill Tetsell for leading the business’s philanthropic efforts and praised his 80-plus associates for giving so much of themselves to support the community and others in need. He ended the night by sharing with his peers that he didn’t realize true success until his focus shifted to making sure those around him had what they needed to succeed. He challenged his fellow business owners to “take care of the people who depend on you, and you will be just fine.”

For students interested in participating in the upcoming season, an informational meeting will be held in the spring. Training starts July 1 with three to four 6 a.m. training rides held a week. “We always start our rides here at Bicycle Vibe and then we ride into the mountains,” says Kevin. Students who attend BCHS are eligible, while middle schoolers who’ll be attending BCHS are eligible to participate in the development program. “There are no races for middle schoolers, but they can practice and pre-ride the race. It gets them used to what it’ll be like in ninth grade,” says Kevin. For more information on joining the BCHS mountain bike team, call Kevin at (623) 582-3111.

All in the Family The new owners of Rosati’s Pizza & Sports Pub bring business home. By Sondra Barr Photos by Jennifer Fouche
AFTER A DECADE of living in Anthem, the Elsberry family (Bryon, Shane, Mandy, and Charity) wanted to further extend their roots in the area. So, when the chance to purchase Rosati’s Pizza & Sports Pub presented itself, the family jumped at the chance at local ownership and closed the restaurant deal on Sept. 1, 2015. “What prompted us to purchase? Simple: we have lived in Anthem for just over 10 years now and thought it would be fun to own a little piece of the community that has given so much to us,” says Bryon. “The restaurant allowed us not only to do just that but, it also provided a fun family atmosphere were our children could work alongside us.” While the Elsberry family owns several other businesses around the Valley, Rosati’s holds a special place in their hearts. While they’ve enjoyed owning other restaurant establishments in the past and learned much from those experiences, they’re excited about their plans for Rosati’s and to introduce upgrades to this local favorite. “What differentiates us from similar restaurants in the area is the fact that we are a full-service Italian restaurant with an amazingly large patio, over 20 televisions, and a separated sports

pub for all to enjoy,” says Bryon. More upgrades to come include installing an outdoor bar area that will greatly improve the sports pub and patio areas. “We are always looking forward at what is the next step into making Rosati’s that place where we can all come relax by the fire, enjoy drinks with friends, or have that welcoming family experience while dining out,” he says. As the Elsberrys continue to further establish Rosati’s in the neighborhood, they’re keeping their eyes on local philanthropic opportunities and ways to further ingratiate themselves into the community they live in, work in, and love.
Rosati's feature a full-service bar.

Time to Get Crafty
Learn how to make a wild bird feeder and a winter wonderland, courtesy of crafty mom Shannon Fisher. Photos by Shannon Fisher Photography
ARIZONA WINTERS usually don’t include a lot of snowflakes, so it can be fun to create your own! Start with some watercolor paper and, using a glue gun, carefully create some snowflake designs on your paper. You can look on the Internet for simple snowflake designs if you’re having a hard time thinking of one. The simpler the better, since the hot glue is hard to make details with. Allow the glue to dry and then paint over your hot glue flakes with watercolor paint to create your winter scene. For added fun, sprinkle some salt on the paint while still wet to create a snow-like effect. Enjoy looking at your snow filled skies! Another way to create snowflakes is with toothpicks and mini marshmallows. We got both items at a dollar store. Start with one marshmallow in the center and work out from there. Connect the marshmallows using the toothpicks. Kids can make them as big or small as they want. You can talk about symmetry (same on both sides) and the balance it takes to keep the flake together. Caution: Create this with adult supervision, since the toothpicks can pose a choking and eye-poke hazard.
Wild Bird Feeder With the colder days arriving in winter, we like to feed the birds in the area. An easy way to make a quick snack for the wild birds is by taking a toilet paper roll and hole-punching the top in two spots. Next, cover the roll in peanut butter (or Crisco for kids with nut allergies) and then cover the roll in birdseed. This is best done outside, since it can create a mess. To finish off, just tie yarn to the top through the holes you punched and hang in a tree or other area so the birds will see the snack you made for them. If you want to make a more permanent bird feeder, a cute and easy way is using an old cup and saucer. We bought a mug and plate at a dollar store since I had already donated all my old plates. You will need to use E-6000 glue to ensure a good hold. Place some glue on the center of the plate and place the mug, handle up, on its side and hold for a minute or two until you can carefully let go and the cup stays in place. Allow to dry overnight before filling with birdseed. You can now hang your art in an area where the birds can enjoy their new feeder. If you want to get more creative, use permanent markers to decorate your mug and plate. Hope you have fun seeing all the bird friends that stop by! Caution: Only adults should handle E-6000 glue. Be careful not to make skin or eye contact. JANUARY 2016

Start a fresh year off with these suggestions to create a stronger family bond. By Natasha Daniels
I’M NOT SURE why we wait for a new calendar year to start new diets, habits, and routines. Maybe it’s the feeling of a fresh start the new year brings. Whatever it is, it seems now is as good a time as any
to initiate some family traditions. Family traditions help build a strong feeling of connectedness. To jump-start your 2016, here are four of my favorite family traditions:
1. Date Day with the Kids
2. Dinner Conversation Starters
Whether you have one child or a dozen, children crave one-on-one attention from their parents. I love the idea of taking children out for alone time. Even if you spend lots of time with your children, devoting a special time and naming it (e.g., “Mommy and Me Time,” etc.) will feel special. Date days can be as simple as you want them to be. The key is to make a new tradition practical, so it is easy to maintain and keep for years to come. My husband and I devote one weekend day a month to take our children out individually. Each child is taken out for about an hour or two by one parent. We rotate which child goes with which parent. The kids love it and constantly ask when the next date will be.
With all the hustle and bustle of our hectic schedules, dinner might be the only time your family is actually all together. Make mealtime count. I know I feel like I spend more time preparing a meal than it takes for everyone to eat it. Slow the family down by coming up with dinner conversation routines. A simple dinner routine might be taking turns giving the high and low of each person’s day. Doing this on a regular basis can give you insight into what is going on in everybody’s lives. I also recommend that parents pipe in with their high and low for the day, without burdening your children with too many stressful details. This helps kids realize that parents also have daily successes and challenges and may provide a talking point on how to handle those difficulties. For more formal dinner traditions, you can make a jar of dinner questions. These questions can be thought-provoking or silly. Often these types of questions stimulate further discussion and get you to understand each other on a deeper level. For some dinner question ideas you can visit anxioustoddlers.com/family-dinner.

“Nicole’s gone from being a normal college kid to meeting with adults and speaking about her charity work and I think she’s grown a lot from this.” —TERESA ROWE

weeks later, in the Miss Phoenix Pageant, where she won top honors singing “On My Own” from Les Miserables and showcasing her pageant platform on childhood cancer research in honor of Anthem’s Katie Wagner and Tyler Hallsey. To help Nicole prep for her singing performance, she employed the help of Musical Theatre of Anthem’s Jackie Hammond, MTA’s resident vocal director, to get her voice in tip-top shape for her performance. “I was glad I got to reconnect with Jackie,” says Nicole. “The pageant was definitely not like Toddlers & Tiaras. None of the girls were petty,” says Nicole, who points out that the competitors support each other throughout the process. “Nicole has really grown up so quickly with all of this,” says her mom. “She’s maneuvering her way all over Phoenix to various appearances and pageants, so she’s very busy.” A communications major at Grand Canyon University, “Nicole’s gone from being a normal college kid to meeting with adults and speaking about her charity work and I think she’s grown a lot from this,” says Teresa. As Miss Phoenix, Nicole received a $400 scholarship, personal training, publicity photos, nail care for a year, and other products from pageant sponsors. Now she’s prepping for the Miss Arizona pageant this June with the help of Whitney Ford and others. “I’m so nervous. I’m just a month into being a titleholder. I’m already having nightmares about it. I have to calm myself down and realize I don’t want to make this a competition; I just want to go in and be better than what I was in my last pageant,” says Nicole. However, she’s not necessarily worried about winning. In fact, she appears more concerned that people tend to associate the Miss Arizona and Miss Amer-
ica pageant with a certain outspoken political candidate. “This is not the one run by Donald Trump,” she laughs before pointing out that she’s learned much about the importance of saying on top of current events and having opinions on politics, especially since she’s finally old enough to vote. Nicole’s goal is to place within the top 15 girls at the Miss Arizona pageant. “Since I’m the youngest, I can keep competing until I’m 24. So, if I don’t win Miss Arizona, I’m going to keep competing for other titles and just keep going back because I just really love this organization,” she says. Meanwhile, Nicole plans on jumping into global missionary work after college and eventually wants to be an event planner for nonprofit organizations. “Nicole’s always just been a good kid. I think it’s great for other kids to see that you can make the right choices in high school and succeed,” says Teresa. “We were grateful for John Lunsford’s high school ministry group and for Katie Wagner, who showed Nicole and so many other teens in Anthem that you can have faith in God and be proud of it.”

Park Bench HIIT
filling our schedules, often times the first thing to get cut out is working out. Not this year. With a quicker workout option, you have no excuses anymore. Especially since this workout can be done in the park or even at home with a chair. So what does HIIT feel like? After your high intensity interval you should be panting, unable to speak a full sentence, and feeling like you need to sit down and rest. If not, you did not go hard enough. One hundred percent intensity means all-out, no holding back. Pretend like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is watching you workout. Do not disappoint! If you perform HIIT with lackluster effort, you might as well say goodbye to the benefits and say hello again to that boring and ineffective treadmill workout you are used to. HIIT benefits are many like eliminating excess body fat, increasing the number of post-workout hours of energy expenditure, and decreasing overall workout time. So get focused, picture your end goal, and put in the work. Achieve your resolution for the first time by committing to an achievable plan. Nothing beats hard work.
Get started on your New Year resolutions with these fat-torching exercises. By Stephanie Dorworth
YOUR NEW YEAR’S resolution is to get in better shape. As the most common resolution, the problem comes when we commit ourselves to an unrealistic workout plan. So think about this: you get off of work for the day, you are exhausted, and all you can think about is getting home to see the rest of the Suns basketball game. You get your resistance training done because that is the most crucial part of any workout. So now you must finish with some cardio. Do you choose a one-hour treadmill session? Or do you choose a six-minute HIIT session that is more effective at burning fat? And the winner is...the HIIT! With errands, work, and the kids
WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS
A
For each exercise, perform four rounds of the following: Alternate a 20-second bench (high intensity) exercise with a 10-second jog in place (low intensity) exercise.
B
C
EXERCISE 1: BENCH JUMPS Setup: Stand facing the bench, squat down with arms bent. Action: Quickly jump both feet up onto the bench at the same time, and then jump back down.

SOUTH-BEACH
This is another diet that limits carb intake, but less so than others. In this case, foods with a high glycemic index (very sugary foods) are eliminated from the diet rather than eliminating all carbs. Another major difference between this diet and one like the Atkins diet is that unhealthy fats are discouraged. See the table at the end of this article for examples of unhealthy fats. The diet also has three phases. The first phase involves eliminating almost all carbohydrates for two weeks. This includes fruit, fruit juices and alcohol. This “cleanse” period is designed to eliminate cravings and kick-start weight loss. Phase two is the long-term portion of the plan, where some carbs like whole-grains, fruits, and vegetables are added back into the diet. The third phase is for maintenance. This portion allows you to eat all types of foods in moderation. Phases have a benefit in that they allow you to make changes in a deliberate and slow manner. However, sticking to something that takes so long might require patience many don’t have.
RAW FOOD DIET
The idea behind this diet is that foods are most nutritious when in their raw forms, and cooking leads to reduced nutritional content. A raw food diet would likely mean that you are consuming a significant amount of fruits and vegetables, as well as other nutritious foods, which are often low in calories and high in fiber. However, the biggest drawback of this diet is the time it takes to prepare your food. While you may easily lose weight if you follow the diet, sticking to it can present a challenge all on its own. Another drawback is maintaining adequate protein and vitamin balance. A main source of protein in this diet would be through nuts and seeds, which may not provide adequate protein intake. This diet may require vitamins and supplements if continued for a long time.
THE CAYENNE PEPPER/ LEMON JUICE/ MAPLE SYRUP CLEANSE
Cleanses come in different forms, but often involve drinking only liquids for a certain amount of days. Most cleanses have components that act as diuretics, making you urinate more frequently and shed significant pounds of water weight. The draw to something like this is rapid results with quick weight loss, but it can cause nausea, dizziness, dehydration and even muscle loss. Plus, effects are short lived. Once a person resumes eating solid food, rapid weight re-gain is inevitable. These diets have numerous risks and benefits. Each one can serve as a loose guideline, but remember that a balanced diet is as important as sheer calorie or carb restriction in creating a healthier you. For more information about each of these diets, visit webmd.com.
