Former Apple Warehouse Redesigned as State-of-the-Art Winery In an unusual forward-thinking move, entrepreneurs Scott and Joan Dahmer have invested in the Arizona wine business by acquiring an apple warehouse and transforming it into a state-of-the-art winery. They are a new resource in Arizona for grape growers who have grapes but not the access to a state-of-theart winery. Under the guidance of winemaker Rob Hammelman and Napa-based consultant Cary Gott, the 25,000-square-foot facility---Aridus Winery---now gleams with the newest possible winemaking equipment. When this year’s harvest starts, the winery will offer a live video feed from the crush pad (at www.ariduswineco.com).
At 1126 North Haskell Avenue, Aridus Winery is part of the small town of Willcox which once was the rail hub for southeastern Arizona’s cattle industry. Today the area is poised to become one of America’s key wine regions. “In recent years, wine grapes, and wineries, have become vital contributors to the state’s economy…. the growth in the number of wineries has been explosive,” commented Jancis Robinson and Linda Murphy in their new book American Wine: The Ultimate Companion to the Wines & Wineries of the United States (University of California Press, published in spring 2013). Ninety miles from Tucson, 195 miles from Phoenix, 40 miles from the U.S./Mexican border, the Willcox area today hosts a number of wine-related events which draw tourists from the region as well as internationally; it’s perched at an elevation of 4,200 feet with nearby vineyards reaching elevations as high as 5,200 feet.

There are many trails in Sabino that run right along the streams and flow freely, as well as many other hikes to do if you’re feeling feisty! 7 Falls, Hutches Pool, Blackett’s Ridge and Phone Line are some of the best in my book. To get there: Take Tanque Verde Road east until you hit Sabino Canyon road and follow the signs all the way up to the foothills. I recommend buying a seasonal pass if you plan on hitting Catalina or coming back to Sabino. With only a few more months of perfect weather, I recommend getting out and enjoying this gorgeous desert and seasonal turning of the leaves in our mountains. Get out and take a trek this winter!

A switch to online voting took hold when the winners of the 31st People’s Choice Awards, which aired January 9, 2005, were decided by online voting rather than Gallup polls.

RANDY MONTGOMERY
By Stan Robinson
All eyes and the ‘buzz’ are focused on the 86th Academy Awards to be presented on March 2, 2014 on ABC-TV. The Oscar® is that grand prize that a wide range of motivating factors including, artistic, prestige, and monetary gain are the catalysts for the ‘all-out’ pursuit.
JOSEPH J. AIRDO
Randy Montgomery’s reactions reveal the emotional intuition of an average moviegoer. With a master’s degree in counseling and education, Randy grounds his opinions in a unique combination of both a movie’s surface entertainment value and its ability to affect him on an even deeper level. E-mail him at Randyjay7694@yahoo.com.
The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, now in our rear view mirrors, many say the path to Oscar® has been set. As in past years, there’s the various award shows from critics, and the awards voted on by the movie going public. Here’s a quick look at the two prominent awards presentations. Do keep in mind that these two are not voted on by motion picture industry professionals, rather the moviegoers, and, the movie critics.
Joseph J. Airdo’s remarks represent the analytical perspective. With a bachelor’s degree in media analysis and criticism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, Joseph contemplates the real life implications and applications of a motion picture’s themes in order to determine its existential purpose.

The People’s Choice Awards: This year, January 8, 2014, was the 40th anniversary, which can be generally
The Golden Globe Awards: On Sunday January 12, 2014 the 71st annual Golden Globes were presented. The origin goes back to 1944, when a group of journalists from around the world was in Hollywood for the purpose of delivering an impartial view on motion pictures and their impact. They were known then, and to this day as, the “Hollywood Foreign Press Association”. In order not to be swayed and influenced by the powers in Hollywood, net even the Academy Awards® choices, it was important to them that they give their awards before the Oscars® are awarded.Keep in mind; this is the ‘press’, from around the world with diverse, broad perceptions, and, expectations.
Words like ‘precursor’ and ‘indicator’ are also associated with the globe winners as the most likely winner of the Oscars as the common perception, or, misconception. Those of us who actually work in the motion picture industry know that the winners of Golden Globes are not even close to an indication of who might win an Oscar®! It does make for interesting conversations and helps with the ‘buzz’ and excitement leading up to the Oscars®. I have had the good fortune of working for twenty plus years in the industry, and the past seven years as a movie reviewer and writing industry articles. We in the industry watch the ‘craft awards’ very closely. Craft awards like the upcoming Directors Guild of America awards, Writers Guild of America awards, Screen Actors Guild

picture industry. These are the awards that we, as working technicians in the industry, follow closely.
The true indicators are awards in the working crafts like the Directors Guild Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. These awards are given by the industry, to industry workers (actors, technicians, etc.) while the Golden Globes, who are actually the press movie reviewers and critics, don’t work in the industry, and don’t have a vote on who wins an Oscar®! The Oscars® are given by the Motion picture industry, to motion pictures industry workers and, the Academy nominating and voting members are from the various working professionals who vote in their classifications for the craft awards.
Industry awards such as the Directors Guild Awards for best director are voted on only by Directors Guild of America members and, the SAG Screen Actors Awards for actors and again, are only voted on by SAG (Screen Actors Guild) members, about 120,000. If you’ve been following along, you would have noticed that with these 2 industry craft awards, 5 of the 6 major categories for the Oscars®, are represented by these 2 craft awards: Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. Best Picture is the ‘wild card’ because there isn’t a craft award for this overall category. That’s why on occasion you’ll find that a director might win an Oscar® for ‘Best Director’ but his film didn’t win ‘Best Picture’!
The Oscar® voters, about 6,000 or so, represent the working crafts which only vote in their categories. Actors vote for actors, directors vote for directors, and so on. All of the members vote for best picture.The various unions and guilds, which represent all of the persons working on film projects, have awards & ceremonies honoring the best within the working craft fields in the motion

awards, and the Cinema Audio Society awards are but a few of the true indicators of possible Oscar® winners.
‘American Hustle’ ~ One of the best pictures of 2013 features an intriguing and inventive plot and a cast of actors that shine in their roles. Grade: A
‘Anchorman 2’ ~ Idiotic, poorly written & filled with jokes that fall flat. Spend 2 hours watching CSPAN instead. Steve Carell is beyond annoying, Grade: D+
‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ ~ The B&W cinematography and fantastic set and production design transport you to the early 60’s. The memorable original music draws you in. Grade: A ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’ ~ Mandela’s passing makes Idris Alba’s performance even more haunting and worthy of the praise he has been receiving for the role. Grade: B-
‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ ~ Laughs, thrills, chills & an inventive take on a franchise that does not seem to wear out its welcome, despite numerous sequels. Grade: B+
“Hanna” (2011): Blanchett is tough and entertaining as a type-A espionage agent on the trail of a young assassin. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008): Brad Pitt got attention for his extensive
‘Saving Mr. Banks’ ~ Fine performances & a glimpse into the mind of a writer known for creating one of the most recognizable stories of the 20th century. Grade: A

“The Aviator” (2004): Portraying someone as well-known as Katharine Hepburn is a mighty challenge, and Blanchett fares very well with it.
‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ ~ One of my favorite books turned out to be one of the biggest let downs of the season under Ben Stiller’s direction. Grade: C
