RACE! COVER STORY
SOUTHWESTERN INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY Tucson motorsports fans looking forward to the 3rd Annual Tucson Dragway Reunion MAY 17th Tucson and drag racing go way back. Drag racing came from the dry lakes of California and Tucson was not far behind with the Davis Monthan AFB Drag Strip up and running in the 1950s. Tucson was a natural for drag racing with unlimited sunshine and an endless supply of young people eager to race. The popularity of the sport ushered in the opening of the Tucson Dragway east of town in the 60’s. The 60’s and 70’s were years of great excitement at the Tucson Dragway with local heroes like Red Greth, Lyle Fisher, Don Maynard and Frank Townsend taking on national stars such as Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney and TV Tommy Ivo. In the 80’s the track closed - and from the ashes sprang today’s drag strip on the other end of Houghton road in the County complex, Southwestern International Raceway. A small group of racers put together the idea of honoring that illustrious past at Tucson Dragway with a reunion of the heroes of yesteryear at Southwestern International Raceway. Spear headed by Dan Owens, the planning group includes local hero Red Greth who has been involved in Tucson drag racing from its onset at the air force base. The reunion is presented by the Standard 1320 group, an international group with members from all around the world who work together to preserve the history of drag racing from 1955 through 1972. When the first Tucson Dragway reunion proved to be successful and enjoyed by all who attended, a decision was
made to make this an annual event. This year’s reunion marks the third year for the event and by all indications, will be larger and even more exciting than the two previous. Historic cars from four western states are scheduled to appear and spectator sign-ups from the entire western half of the USA are signing on to be a part of this great event. Get a FREE sneak peek at the cars at Friday’s Meet and Greet party, held at the track from 6-9 pm only. Walk around and meet some of the pioneers of the sport. Some display cars will be started and cackling throughout the evening. This is a spectacular and thrilling experience with thundering sound and tall flames - a fun and unique evening for the entire family at an unbeatable price. Expected cackle cars include the

What to expect? Saturday’s lineup includes racing on the track by pre -73 cars plus event-within-event racing action from the Western Fuel Altereds group as well as the Arizona Inliners group. The cackle cars will be doing push starts throughout the day in front of the stands. The midway will have treasures and apparel to peruse and the concessions will be at ready to keep everyone fed and happy. A large display area of show cars, vintage hot rods and race cars will be perfect for a stroll. The pits are open to all and watching the racers prepare for battle is half the fun. At dusk the Arizona Drag Racing Hall of Fame will announce the newest members for that honor. Then the NITRO BLAST! The night will light up as the fuel burning monsters all line up right in front of the stands to fill the air with flames and thunder. ALL running at once! This is not to be missed! This is the lead in for the finals of the fuel altereds and inliners races. Gates Open at 4:00pm, Show starts at 6:00 pm and tickets are just $10.00.

BY JAY BoBBin What do you see as the biggest difference of “Riot,” of which Steve Carell is an executive producer, from other competition series as comedians undertake challenges on the show?
The studio itself is almost like an arena. You can always see the audience on camera, so it’s very much a kind of gladiatorial atmosphere. The sets move and slide and give unique camera angles for strange perspectives. Basically, we set it up to be as difficult as it can be for the improvisers to try to keep things going.

Firefighter Health and Wellness Poker Run
• Identifying effective coping mechanisms for sleep deprivation in public-safety jobs
3rd Annual Motorcycle Poker Run for Firefighter Health and Wellness, May 17, 2014. All funds raised go to local firefighter health and wellness initiatives. All funds raised are utilized locally. The most valuable equipment found in the fire station is the firefighter. Despite the advances in safety and personal protection, approximately 100 U.S. firefighters die on the fire ground each year – many from cardiac-related issues. Half of those deaths, however, are preventable with adequate wellness and fitness programs. The fire foundation provides those necessary programs for the local firefighters at no cost to the tax payers or firefighters.
• Providing important mental health and wellness services for firefighters and their families, including those who work for smaller agencies that might not be able to afford access to these services. In January alone, there were four reported firefighter suicides across the country.
The Foundation’s 2014 Firefighter Health and Wellness Initiatives include: • Firefighter Cardiac Disease Assessment Protocol • Reducing firefighter injuries through Personal Fitness Trainer Certification
We invite you to help the Foundation “take care of those who take care of us.” Your support and participation is a lifesaving action that can pay for itself many times over in the prevention of firefighter illness, injury or even death. There are opportunities for volunteers as well as riders, sponsors and vendors. Please visit www. tucsonfirefoundation.org or write to tucsonfirefoundation@gmail.com for additional information or to volunteer. Volunteers receive ride volunteer t-shirt and wristband for lunch at final stop and ride party at Hot Rods Old Vail. Thank you.

May 17th at 7pm May 18th at 2pm Stevie Eller Dance Theatre Ballet Tucson’s exceptional youth company presents its end-ofseason concert The Seasons, with choreography by Mary Beth Cabana, Ballet Tucson’s Founding Artistic Director. Set to Alexander Glazunov’s robust score, this ballet tells the story of a young girl traveling through the
glory of each season with Father Time as her guide. Ballet Tucson II & the children’s ensemble present this magical ballet. As the curtain rises, a Young Girl is being blown about by the power of the North Wind. Father Time assures her that all is well and she begins to experience the joy of Winter in a frolic with Jack Frost. Ice, Hail and Snow Princesses and their respective attendants honor the vitality of the season. Fire Gnomes appear to “melt away” the Winter and the North Wind is driven out by a warm Spring Zephyr. Spring is ushered in by the thawing of a glacial stream. Water Nymphs, Bumblebees, Ladybugs, Bunny Rabbits and Birds dance in a joyful celebration. A rainbow appears as the result of a
brief shower. The Spirit of the Rose dances with Raindrops and the Spring Rain. The Sun rises higher in the sky as summer approaches. The Young Girl, a Satyr and a Doe herald in the change with the dance of the Cornflowers and Poppies. A graceful pas de deux ensues with the Queen of the Corn Harvest and the Summer Sun. Flower Fairies appear to water the wilting summer flowers.
duet. The Young Girl is presented with gifts to commemorate the glories of her journey with Father Time. A starlit sky is revealed, with its reminder that beyond the seasonal changes on earth is the constancy of the heavens. Swan Lake, Act II, choreography by Chieko Imada (after Marius Petipa) Tchaikovsky’s immortal music heightens the beauty and emotion of this timeless Romantic-era ballet.
Father Time returns to mark the transformation of the season once more. The Queen of the Grape Harvest and her retinue of Autumn Leaves lead the way for all of the Seasons to take part in a stirring bacchanale. As the cycle of the seasons comes to a close, Polaris, the North Star and the Winter Solstice perform an ethereal

ABOUT THE FILM
,
‘Neighbors’
‘Anita: Speaking Truth to Power’ Blending archival footage with contemporary interview, filmmaker Freida Lee Mock reveals the intimate story of Anita Hill - a woman who became a symbol simply by telling the truth. (NR - 95 minutes) Herb: This look back at a truly sad chapter in our recent past is both shocking and inspiring at the same time. While it is hard to believe what Anita Hill endured, it is also staggering what she has done with her life after such a difficult chapter. This film should be required watching in any civics class, as it is a look at government and abuse I hope we never see again.
‘Finding Vivian Maier’ Filmmakers John Maloof and Charlie Siskel explore the life of a nanny whose previously unknown cache of 100,000 photographs earned her a posthumous reputation as one the most accomplished street photographers. (NR - 83 minutes) Herb: This is a riveting and haunting film that left me wanting more as soon as the credits started to roll. The film is both a documentary and a mystery as the clues and treasures come to light the story only gets better and better. This one is on my list of best documentary films this year.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a couple with a newborn baby who face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house. Zac Efron also stars. (R - 96 minutes) Joseph: “Neighbors” is like a friend who does not have very good judgment as to how far he or she can take a joke. Fortunately, if you can survive a little stupidity here and there and are unopposed to its smutty sense of humor, stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron will haze you with hilarity.
‘Stage Fright’ Allie MacDonald plays a starry-eyed teenager who lands a lead role in a play, but just as rehearsals begin, blood starts to spill and she soon finds herself terrified by the horror of musical theatre. (R - 90 minutes) Joseph: After a frightening first scene and a snappy second musical number, one cannot help but think that “Stage Fright” is destined for instant cult classic status. Unfortunately, the new horror musical’s soundtrack is lacking the crucial catchy quality and its gore is not exactly creative. But the biggest drawback is the plot’s predictability.

The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.
Writer Roger Stanton Baum (‘Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return’) By Joseph J. Airdo
“It occurred to me that you want to write [an ‘Oz’ book] that is not going to insult the millions of ‘Oz’ fans out there. You want to make it ‘Oz-y.’ So I just hope that it follows the regular themes of ‘Oz.’ You have Dorothy - who is really one of the very first women leaders - alongside the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Lion. Even Toto is in there. I use them and then I have some new characters, too, and they all go down the yellow brick road. “What they get out of it is adventure, love, understanding, hope and wholesomeness. If I were to use one word I suppose that would be it. It is a wholesome story that is nonviolent. My great granddad [L. Frank Baum] believed
in ‘Oz’ not having anything that would scare a child. I try to follow that line of thinking - no violence; only heart, wisdom and courage - and that wholesome feeling that goes along with all of that.
FILM! SECTION
SOUNDBITE SPOTLIGHT
“Even though the original book is called ‘Dorothy of Oz,’ the movie itself is called ‘Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return.’ That is an indication that [Clarius Entertainment] wants to do more ‘Oz’ adventures based on my books. They wanted to make it a lead-in to an overall title so it will fit other books and not be so character specific. I am very pleased with the whole production crew.” - Roger Stanton Baum

Take a Stroll with Niccole: Sweetwater Preserve and Trail System Sweetwater preserve is over 700 square miles of protected land that is located on the west side of Tucson city center and on the east side of the Tucson Mountain range. It is partially used for biological research by the University of Arizona and mostly for conservational and recreational purposes. The area was established as public land trust after more than 50 communities, organizations and individuals came together to help protect this area. The community effort in 2004 to fundraise, attend public hearings and write letters is unmatched for any other land trust in Pima County history. This beautiful Sonoran desert landscape is home to many important species of plants and animals and is also favorite area among hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. The Sweetwater trail system can be found by heading west on Ruthraff road past 1-10 interstate where it turns into Camino del Cerro, after about 5.7 miles the road ends at the trailhead’s enormous parking lot. This trail system
will prove to show magnificent views, blooming saguaros and all of the animals these delicious flowers attract in the spring. Hikers can take the Sweetwater trail 3.4 miles up to King Canyon Trail which leads to the tallest peak in the Tucson mountain district, Wassan peak. The Wassan Peak trek is an unforgettable adventure that gives the ambitious hiker 360 degree views of our beautiful city and all of its’ surrounding area and this is only way to access the peak from the east side of the Tucson Mountain range. With summer heat approaching rapidly it is important to note that there
is not much shade out in these hills so the best time to enjoy them is at dawn and dusk and always remember to bring plenty of water. I have wanted to try it out on my mountain bike for quite some time now and it was amazing last week! Sweetwater is very
rocky with some technical spots but mostly a beginner or intermediate trail system. There are about 10 miles of trails and loops to bike for any distance and difficulty you choose. I am a beginning mountain bike rider so I started on the Saguaro Vista trail and hit the Sun Circle Loop, which is the most popular route to start
with. Whether your riding, hiking or horseback riding; I highly recommend this preserve to all outdoor enthusiasts. Get out and take a Sweetwater trek this season! If you would like to see pictures of these areas and take a virtual tour of other treks, check out my Facebook page “Take a stroll with Niccole” or for comments and questions you can email me at Takeastrollwithniccole@ gmail.com. Happy Trails!

Tapas-Mediterranean Flavors, American Flair!
When Food Network host Damaris Phillips was planning her Mother’s Day menu for the Sunday, May 11, episode of “Southern at Heart,” she remembered something she had learned from working in restaurants. “You start to realize that there really is a gender to foods,” she explains. “There are ‘woman foods,’ and there are ‘man foods.’ Obviously that’s not true across the board, but there are foods that women just love. That’s why on Mother’s Day you almost always see the same things, for right or wrong, at a restaurant brunch.” That’s how Phillips arrived at a “Ladies’ Tea Party” theme for Sunday’s episode, in which she and a pastry chef friend give their own spins to finger sandwiches, Southern potato salad and tea cookies. “(My friend) is lovely, but we’re not always the most feminine at times, especially working in kitchens,” Phillips says. “Working in the back of the house, you have to be kind of tough. You have to be ‘alpha’ a lot of the time to succeed there. After years of that, this is just our play on being as dainty and feminine as we can be.” Sunday’s episode also will mark the nine-month anniversary of Phillips’ win on the ninth season of “Food Network Star.” “The first day I walked onto the (‘Southern at Home’) set, I realized, ‘Oh. This is actually happening.’ The reality set in that I actually had to do it,” she says of landing her own show. “I had a job now, and there was an expectation of me that I actually had to fulfill. It was no longer just a fantasy.”
