Susan French, MBA, an artist and founder of the Rodeo Days Arts Celebration, co-founder of the Tucson Musicians Museum (TMM), and Marketing Director for Plaza Palomino, holds the event to combine passions and bring people together, she says. “This arts celebration provides professional local artists a venue in which to showcase their creations, an opportunity for musicians to play for people who love their music, and offers a fun day for people of all ages to get out and enjoy the culture of Tucson.”
New this year is the Tucson Celebrity Quick Draw, refereed by renowned cartoonist, David Fitzsimmons, who’s referring to this event as a “postPictionary doodlefest, a toon-off ‘tween inksters.” Quick sketches will be instantly auctioned off – all proceeds help fund TMM mentorship program. With participants including local media, arts and music celebrities, and Tucson politicians (Mayor Rothschild goes toeto-toe with Mayor Walkup at 1:30!), this is sure to be a Big Draw as well!

United States and around the world has increased exponentially over the past 50 years, so has our scientific understanding of how and where and why minerals form. The “Best of the Best” exhibit will capture this dynamic relationship between the Passion for Minerals and the Science of Minerals. On the “Passion for Minerals” side, we’ll explore what inspires collectors. We’ll tell the stories about how they began collecting, what excites them about a particular mineral, and what goes into their aesthetic appreciation of minerals. We’ll also tell the stories about how and where people search for and discover mineral specimens. We’ll share the determination, research, physical challenges, and sometimes blind luck behind the great “self-collecting” stories that will show the fun and adventure of collecting. More of the world’s top mineral collectors call Arizona home more than anywhere else in the world. Never before have so many of these exquisite minerals, from so many of the finest collections, been brought together in one place. And better yet, you’ll hear the stories behind the minerals – the hunt, the passion, the astonishing science - in the new exhibit at the Flandrau Science Center and UA Mineral Museum. Now Open! Our new exhibit, “The Best of the Best: Prize Minerals from the Vaults of Arizona’s Collectors” brings together many of the most exquisite minerals from the most admired collections in the state. Here in Arizona, the passion and science of mineral collecting goes back over a century, and Arizona collectors have gathered many of the finest mineral specimens from around the world. But this exhibit offers more than dazzling minerals, it brings together the stories behind the minerals – the search, the discovery, the history, and the awe-inspiring science – that makes these specimens come to life and conveys the excitement that inspires the collectors.
And just as passion and curiosity have driven generations of mineralogists to learn more about “The Science of Minerals,” we’ll connect the public with how minerals form and how they are structured. We’ll start at the beginning and explain what makes a mineral different from a rock, then how we identify minerals. Visitors will learn about geology and crystal formation, how and where mineral specimens develop, and what gives them their unique colors and shapes. In addition, we’ll feature the vanguard work being done in Dr. Bob Down’s mineralogy lab at the University of Arizona. We’ll explain how the RUFF project, a sophisticated mineral database being
developed by Down’s lab, has revolutionized the categorization and identification of minerals both on Earth and in our Solar System. From the amazing specimens themselves to the stories behind the minerals, from tales of “selfcollecting” to the marvels of atomic structure in crystals, this exhibit will take visitors from the passion to the science and back again. Come hear the stories and see the gorgeous specimens from many of the finest collections in the state! The exhibit will run through December 2014. Call Flandrau Science Center at 621-4516 or visit www.flandrau.org to plan your trip today.

For many reasons, Arizona is home to some of the finest mineral collections and most admired collectors in the world. And it was Arizona mineral collectors who founded the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, the world’s premier gathering of mineral dealers, hunters, collectors, and enthusiasts. There are many other mineral shows around the world now, but nobody does it better, nobody does it bigger, than “The Tucson Show.” Thanks to the Tucson show, collectors who live in Arizona have been at the forefront of the mineral trade over the years as new specimens emerged from localities worldwide.

the main things that was always talked about, the Avanyu. Somebody saw the Avanyu up in the canyon. Later on, they were talking about how the Avanyu was coming down closer to the Pueblo and what did that mean. Today, you rarely ever hear people talking about the Avanyu. After I purchased my farm, a tribal council member I know had told me that the water serpent had also lived fairly close to where my barns are. He said when he was a little boy, his grandfather and others would go down to that area and take food to the water serpent. So now whatever I have left from the refrigerator or after a meal, I take it down to the fields and I leave it there. And thinking about a whole tradition that has gone by and passed by, and I have chosen to continue on with that. My great-grandson now will look in the refrigerator and he’ll pick things out of the refrigerator and put it in a bag and go off to go feed the water serpent and the cows.
Jody Folwell is an internationally known clay artist from Santa Clara Pueblo. She is the Featured Artist of Arizona State Museum’s 21st annual Southwest Indian Art Fair, which takes place February 22 and 23 on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Though Folwell is often referred to as the matriarch of the avant-garde in Native American pottery, she still, as she has done since childhood, continues to hand build and hand decorate all her pieces in the traditional ways. But there is very little to be called traditional in what is built and what is decorated. Each of Folwell’s vessels is unique and different from the next. When you see a number of her pieces side by side, the variances are striking. One piece is perfectly curved and broad. But the next is asymmetrical, angular and tall, as if sculpted. One has brightly colored, thick geometric shapes. Another is a lustrous black, polished so well you can see your reflection. The next one has elegant spiraliforms as if tooled into supple brown leather. And still another has pastel-colored fish swimming in undefined waters. And all this can sometimes be accompanied by political satire or social commentary. Ah yes, the famous social commentary from Jody Folwell. Art is, after all, a form of communication and Folwell is known for doing just this—occasionally communicating a strong opinion or a biting comment on what she might perceive as a social injustice or a political imperative. She has been doing this for decades and, no doubt, this has contributed greatly to her work being classified as avantgarde—unbound by the status quo, innovative, experimental, immediate, involved, topical, progressive. Among the array of awards and honors she has received over the years, Folwell was most recently honored in 2013 with a Community Spirit Award from First Peoples Fund, an organization that supports “creative Indigenous artists who share their inspiration, wisdom, knowledge and gifts with their communities.” Still, she says, though she has lived and breathed pottery every day since childhood, she has never really considered herself an artist. She is as humble as she is talented. She is as unassuming as her work is influential.

When and why did you start incorporating commentary into your pottery?
How did you become an artist? Basically, if you come from a pottery family, you are born into the whole concept of theart world, but you don’t think it’s art. You just think it’s part of what life is all about. You see them making the clay when you’re running around and when you’re very small. So when you’re growing up, it’s just part of life and you don’t think of yourself as being an artist. And I never thought of myself being an artist until I started working with Gallery Ten. I just thought an artist was someone who painted on canvas or a sculptor and certainly not a potter. So that’s a really interesting concept because all of a sudden there’s a whole different kind of discussion I had to have inside of my head to process everything through, as to defining what an artist was. So even today, I even think of myself as just being someone who constructs, not so much an artist I think, but constructing.
work and who I am. And if you grow up on a Pueblo reservation where art, or should I say pottery, is a mainstay of the tribe that you come from, it’s so much a part of you. It’s ingrained in you. It’s everything that you basically do from one day to the next. You see your neighbor, they’re making pottery. You see people down the road who are making pottery, so It’s like if you walk into a high tech community where everybody has a computer, everybody has all of the high tech equipment and they’re all sitting there at their computers from one house to the next. And it’s basically the same except with potters here in Santa Clara, they’re actually processing things, a physical process should I say, not so much mental but physical process. The mental part comes in later, I think, when your imagery on your pottery has to coincide with the structure and the piece.
Do you see your culture as always a part of your art work or is there a separation between the two?
What can you tell me about this very unique design called Avanyu, or water serpent, that appears on your pottery?
I think it’s always been there and probably the day I’m dying on my death bed, it’ll still be a part of my
That is a real interesting question and I thought about it for a while because when I was a little girl that was one of
AZWeeklyMagazine.com
I started doing commentary pieces after I came back from graduate school and I just thought, this is real interesting because there’s no one else doing it and I just needed to take that little tiny sidestep to make some changes in my artwork. And that’s all I’ve done, not a large step, but just ever so slightly. So then I did the asymmetrical pieces, I did the multicolored pieces, I did the acrylic pieces, I did the social commentary and political pieces. And all of a sudden, the social and political pieces just came into step with this whole process that was going on inside of my head about tradition, about what pottery is and what it should be. You are referenced as the matriarch of contemporary Native pottery. What do you think and hope that means to young artists today? Well, I hope that they can open their minds and their eyes and every part of their being to be able to see the world around them and to be able to appreciate it and to be able to maybe make a statement inside of their mind, or even on a piece of work that they’re doing.

...Continued from page 13 “The most ethereally beautiful music of the twentieth century was first heard on a brutally cold January night in 1941, at the Stalag VIIIA prisoner-of-war camp, in Görlitz, Germany.” This is how musicologist Alex Ross introduces Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time,” written while the composer was imprisoned in an internment camp. Premiered with the camp’s German officers seated in the first row, the quartet’s unusual instrumentation resulted from the available musicians among Messiaen’s fellow prisoners. Rarely heard in live performance, this stunning work will be performed by some of chamber music’s most respected artists.

By: Erin Roediger Dear Dentist: “I am not a fan of flossing, I find it gross. I know I should do it more often. Can you give me any advice to make flossing more of a daily habit instead of one off before my dentist appointment?” “Flossing is a vital step in oral heath, but most people do not do it because it takes more time than just brushing. People think that if they brush alone, that they have cleaned their teeth and freshened their breath. However, it is by flossing that removes the bacteria from the teeth and gums that is responsible for tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. I tell my patients if they could floss at least once before bedtime, all that bacteria in the mouth wouldn’t sit overnight and cause havoc. In order to make flossing easier, commit to flossing before you brush. Also, if you wrap the floss around your fingers, get a floss that won’t slip such as a ‘waxed’ coated floss. Before I was a dentist, I flossed maybe once or twice a week -
AZWeeklyMagazine.com
mainly because my dentist told me to do so. Since learning about all the different kinds of ‘bugs’ that contribute to dental disease, I’ve decided that I need to reduce the number and amount of harmful bacteria in my mouth. I want to maintain a healthy heart, a healthy mind, and a healthy system. Proper oral hygiene, especially flossing, helps build a strong immune system, which allows me to have improved overall health.“ – Dr. Jason Barton, D.D.S As it is with each new habit, take it one day at a time. Try different flosses until you find one that works best and continue the practice. Say goodbye to harmful, gross bacteria and say hello to a beautiful, healthy smile that will last for years to come. For more information on having healthy teeth and gums, check out iSmile. Our dentists are here to help you have that perfect smile. Please visit our website at www. ismiledentists.com or call our office at 855-438-4764.

Bigelow Trail - Catalina Mountains at night. This is also an awesome trail to take dogs and kids on and is good year round. If you have never hiked in Mount Lemmon give this one a shot and you will also be hooked. This connects to Butterfly trail which is one of my favorite, more challenging hikes, Butterfly is 12 miles round trip. To get there: Take Catalina highway all the way to Organization Ridge road and park
Bigelow Mountain peak has wonderful views all around the Catalina Mountains; it is the second highest named peak in the area at 8550 feet. This is one of my favorite go-to hikes for out of town visitors and beginning hikers. The great thing about this trail is that it connects to many other not-so-easy trails that will give you a challenging workout in the ponderosa pine forest. This was the first hike I ever did as a teenager and is how I got hooked on hiking in the first place. It is two miles each way and is absolutely awesome for trail running as well. The trail is very well maintained with mostly dirt and vegetation with a couple of rocky areas, and a few steep areas. This trek will take you up to the red light towers that you see from the city

‘Down & Dangerous’
‘The Past’
John T. Woods plays a smuggler who is coerced by violent mid-level traffickers into designing a foolproof plan to bring several kilos of cocaine across the Mexico border and maneuvers to rid himself of their hold over him once and for all. (NR 95 minutes)
An Iranian man deserts his French wife and two children to return to his homeland. Meanwhile, his wife starts up a new relationship - a reality her husband confronts upon his wife’s request for a divorce. (PG-13 - 130 minutes)
Joseph: Having been in competition at last year’s Phoenix Film Festival, “Down and Dangerous” is a spectacularly slick-looking flick but, while writer/director Zak Forsman tells a story that is out of the ordinary and rarely regarded, he does so with a conventionality that otherwise obscures its originality. It is possible to predict each narrative move, which, in turn, leads to one feeling as though they have already experienced this potboiler in the past.
Stan: Presenting the dynamics of relationships, and the reasons from both perspectives when reunited to finally end it with an official divorce, ‘The Past’ rises above the cultural setting of France and the nationalities of the couple involved, for an engaging thought provoking view of family, children, and, expectations.
Walt Disney paid the animators on ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ (1937) $5 for any gag that made it into the final version of the movie.
BET, YOU
DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson
Randy: One of the most engaging, dramatic and well-acted films of the year. Definitely worth all of the critical accolades. Surprising is the omission by the Academy for a Best Foreign Language picture nomination. An intriguing drama with enough twists to keep you actively engaged and the French setting for an Iranian film is even more intriguing. A must see.

‘The Past’ ~ A drama w/ enough twists to keep you engaged. The French setting for an Iranian film is even more intriguing. A must see. Grade: A
Still haven’t seen that movie that your friends have been talking about? Film Columnist Randy Montgomery recaps what you may have missed in 140 characters or less.
‘Gimme Shelter’ ~ While not perfectly executed, it is moving, powerful & emotional. The performances by Hudgens & supporting cast will blow you away. Grade: A
‘Labor Day” ~ While Winslet and Brolin try their hardest, their characters just aren’t relatable, nor is the romance in this slow moving love story. Grade: C+
‘Gloria’ ~ Character driven, slow-moving drama from Chile. Paulina García’s performance is natural and awardworthy. A must-see for that alone. Grade: A
‘Love is in the Air’ ~ So predictable and by the book; you’d swear Hollywood produced it. This French romance is silly, yet surprisingly likable. Grade: C+
‘Ride Along’ ~ Kevin Hart is in too many films. Wait for the discount house for this one. Or, in a few days, he will have another film out to see. Grade: D+
‘The Lego Movie’ ~ Creative, ingenious and managed to capture the heart and spirit of the toy. Funny and heartfelt and the title song is unforgettable. Grade: A+
‘The Nut Job’ ~ Unique plot filled w/ cute characters, humor & action. The animation is near perfect giving the major studios a run for their money. Grade: B

MOVIE TWEETS!
Meryl Streep’S
top 10 MovieS “The Iron Lady” (2011):
Matching Streep to the
role of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a cinch to earn the actress her third Oscar.
“It’s Complicated” (2009):
A winningly
accessible Streep is terrific as a mom trying to juggle her insatiably amorous ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) and a niceguy architect (Steve Martin).
“Julie & Julia” (2009):
Streep flawlessly channels
chef Julia Child, effectively showing the woman behind the icon in the earliest phases of the cooking star’s international fame.
“Mamma Mia!” (2008):
Yes, she sings,
too! While Adele has nothing to worry about, Streep demonstrates she can carry classic ABBA tunes.
“The Devil Wears Prada” (2006):
For a
textbook example of how to do a lot with a little, witness Streep‘s purposely minimal emoting as an imperious fashion magazine editor.
“The Bridges of Madison County” (1995): Streep and director and co-star Clint Eastwood prove an ideal match in the adaptation of Robert James Waller’s melancholy love story.
“Out of Africa” (1985):
Letting her show off her
chameleonlike skills, the part of author Karen Blixen is ideally suited to Streep.
“Silkwood” (1983):
Streep’s knack for making
ordinary people seem extraordinary is evident in her portrayal of the plutonium plant worker.
“Sophie’s Choice” (1982):
The choice is
wrenching for the concentration camp survivor played by Streep in her best-actress Oscar winner.
“Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979):
Streep earned
a supporting Oscar as a quietly desperate wife and mother gone AWOL.

Checking in with Jeremy Sisto In ABC’s Wednesday sitcom “Suburgatory,” which launched a new season in January, Jeremy Sisto plays George Altman, an architect and single father of a teen daughter (Jane Levy) who moves to the suburbs to give her a better life. He discovers life there is different, but whether it’s better is a work in progress. In real life, Sisto is a 39-year-old father of two: daughter Charlie and baby son Bastian. He got married to wife Addie a few months after his daughter was born, but Sisto has no regrets about taking the plunge. “I love my family,” he says. “I have a great wife. It took me a while to figure that out and commit, but now I’m really happy I did. She’s a human being, and we’re committed to each other. It’s a nice thing. The kids are just amazing. It’s a different level.”

Many Food Network shows delve into what’s eaten as well as where it’s served, but the new Wednesday series “Buy This Restaurant” is mainly about location, location, location. Real estate veteran Keith Simpson started his professional life as a chef, catering to England’s royal family before coming to America and buying his own first restaurant ... so having been on both sides makes him uniquely suited to help match aspiring eatery owners to sites that meet their business aims.

“I came into the brokerage side in 2006,” Simpson explains, “when I sold one of my restaurants in South Lake Tahoe, and I found it intriguing how the whole process went. As I was getting older and I didn’t want to be so involved in the operation of restaurants, I thought about the buying and selling, ‘This sounds like fun.’ And it’s been tremendous.” Simpson works for a San Francisco-based company in helping to make property deals. “Very rarely are you buying the bricks and mortar,” he notes. “You’re buying a business, so what value is the business? When I meet with buyers and sellers, I understand exactly how a kitchen works. There’s nothing I haven’t done in my own restaurants, from mopping floors to taking reservations.” Such expertise adds to Simpson’s dealings with prospective buyers. “I ask them about marketing,” he says, “because that’s very much a strength of mine. I help them with the menu planning. And I try to look for what I call the USPs, unique selling points ... what makes them unique compared to the competition just down the road. “Too many buyers think, ‘Oh, that’s great. It’s just around the corner from where I live. That’s where I want to have my restaurant.’ Well, that’s the completely wrong way of looking at it. You’ve got to look not at where you live but where the best location for the business is. Even if it means driving a half-hour to get there.” What are you currently reading? “There’s a tremendous book I just finished (‘The Secrets of Mary Bowser’ by Lois Leveen), and it was all to do with a slave who was freed by her owner, then became a spy for the North.” What did you have for dinner last night? “I had a French dip and french fries. And I also enjoyed a gin and grapefruit ... a salty dog.”
What is your next project? “This show has me very busy, but I’ve got 37 restaurants listed right now and five in escrow, so I’m actually a very busy boy with my day job.’ When was the last vacation you took – where and why? “It was actually my honeymoon, and I went to a lovely resort about 10 miles north of Cancun with my beautiful new wife.”
