he 2017–18 Cave Creek season officially returns in October, and area residents can get a preview of all the fun in this month’s Cave Creek Special Events pullout. The issue highlights everything from celebrating the area’s best food and drinks, to experiencing its Western heritage — and everything in between. Kicking off the season is the Town’s signature event, The Taste of Cave Creek, held this year October 18–19 (www.tasteofcavecreek.com). The two-day event showcases all the best that the town offers year-round, including its more than 25 area restaurants, live music, wine tasting, beer garden and some favorite artists and area vendors. For those who are cowboys and cowgirls at heart, the 15th Annual Wild West Days takes place November 1–5 (www.wildwestdayscavecreek. com). After a two-year hiatus, the ever-popular Desert Foothills Christmas Pageant is back December 2–3. In the spring, the Cave Creek Rodeo Days celebrates 41 years of professional rodeo in Cave Creek. The parade is March 17 with the rodeo held March 23–25 (www.cavecreekrodeo). The Town wraps up its season by celebrating Independence Day with patriotism and family-friendly fireworks July 3–4. In between Cave Creek’s main events are an abundant variety of things to do and places to go, and the Town invites everyone to celebrate its western lifestyle, explore its open spaces and enjoy its varied and vibrant town life. |CST Look for the Cave Creek 2017–18 Calendar beginning on page 35.

Empty Bowls Event Adds Art Auction Proceeds to benefit Foothills Food Bank he Foothills Empty Bowls Lunch & Art Auction 2017 to honor World Hunger Day will be held Friday, October 20, at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral from 11am–1pm.
According to Pam DiPietro, executive director of Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center, this year the organization is adding a new feature to its Empty Bowls event — an art auction. The auction will be on the food bank’s website, www.foothillsfoodbank. com, which gives residents the opportunity to bid on 60 fine art and craft items donated by renowned local artists. “We are excited to offer this auction online so people who support this worthy cause can spend the quality time they need to research the bid items,” says DiPietro. “This has always been an amazing event with a great turnout, but this year we will take Empty Bowls to a new level with the online auction.” Carole Perry, who created the festival in the Northern Desert Foothills more than 17 years ago, says online bidding will begin September 20 and be available to bidders throughout the celebration. Perry says 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center, and will support its ongoing effort to provide emergency food and services to area families in need of assistance. Lunch will be served in handmade ceramic or glass bowls. Individuals are encouraged to donate $15 to the cause and select their own unique bowl made by Arizona artists, and keep it as a lasting reminder of world hunger. The Foothills Empty Bowls & Art Auction 2017 is sponsored by the Sonoran Arts League, Harold’s Corral, Marjon Ceramics and Laguna Clay. Other donors are Saguaro and Cactus Shadows High School students, Paradise Valley Community College ceramics students and local potters and artists who make and donate the bowls and auction items. Harold’s Corral is located at 6895 East Cave Creek Road. For more information about the event, call 480.488.1145.

Cactus Shadows High School (CSHS), in the Cave Creek Unified School District (CCUSD), congratulated Peyton McGregor (CSHS Class of 2019) who represented the Southwest playing with the Milwaukee Brewers Organization in August. Over the summer, Peyton was invited by a major league baseball scout to try out for the Area Code Baseball team. In July, his parents found out that he will be one of 25 boys from Arizona, Nevada and California to represent the Southwest. Jim Swetter, CSHS assistant principal of Operations and Athletics said, “Congratulations to Peyton for being selected to represent his state and school in this prestigious tournament!” According to their website, six regional teams will travel to California to compete in a three-day underclassman tournament. The rosters feature the best baseball players from around the nation competing at the highest level. Scouts, from all 30 Major League teams and the Major League Scouting Bureau as well as top NCAA coaches will be in attendance. CSHS principal, Dr. Steve Bebee said, “What an exciting opportunity for Peyton and his family. We are very excited for him and the opportunity he has to represent himself and the Cactus Shadows Baseball program.” CSHS also announced that Spencer Ciammitti (CSHS Class of 2018) has been awarded the 2016 NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Award). This award, sponsored by REI and the International Mountain Bicycling Association Teen Trail Corps, “honors an individual who has demonstrated respect, empathy and compassion towards other trail users by working both on and off the bike to build awareness and care for trails in their community.” Spencer has been a student in the CCUSD since kindergarten. Dr. Bebee said, “The success that CCUSD students continue to have are an amazing result of the talented students we have the privilege to interact with in our district.” Cactus Shadows High School is an A+ School of Excellence.

Kiwanis Supports Internet Safety At CCUSD Schools Cactus Shadows High School and Sonoran Trails Middle School expressed their gratitude to the Kiwanis Club of Carefree for its generous financial donation that will bring the Digital Citizenship Academy to the secondary students in the Cave Creek Unified School District (CCUSD). The donation was presented by Rick Heiken who represented the membership of the Kiwanis Club. In today’s fast-paced world of technology and social media, students are often unaware of the dangers that exist in the form of digital predators and the permanent digital footprint that they are creating through social media — a footprint that will be with them for the rest of their lives. The financial contribution that Kiwanis has made on behalf of the students at Sonoran Trails Middle School and Cactus Shadows High School will allow each school the ability to educate and inform students, their parents and the Cave Creek community at large on the dangers that exist in the dark web and the risks that students encounter through social media interactions. The Cave Creek Unified School District thanked the Kiwanis for assisting them in educating area students to become upstanding digital citizens in school and as they move on to college. “Keeping our students safe and providing a safe learning environment is one of the most important things we do as school principals,” said Dr. Steve Bebee, principal at Cactus Shadows High School. “I am thankful to Carefree Kiwanis for helping us keep our students safe in the digital world as well the learning environment.” To learn more about Sonoran Trails or Cactus Shadows, visit www.ccusd93.org.

PVCC at Black Mountain Unveils New Telescope This Month
Paradise Valley Community College at Black Mountain (PVCC) will unveil its 14-inch Cassegrain telescope September 14, for a first light viewing party from 7–9:45pm. “First light” refers to the first time that a telescope is used to take an astronomical image. The telescope, located on the PVCC at Black Mountain campus, collects 3,136 times more light than the human eye. It will allow viewers to see the colors of the Orion nebula, storms on Jupiter and the structure of the Andromeda galaxy, which is located 2.5 million light years away. “This new telescope will allow PVCC students to conduct research on variable and binary stars from the observatory dome, in the classroom, and even remotely from the Union Hills Campus,” said Jenny Weitz, professor of Astronomy at Paradise Valley Community College. “It will also give the public gorgeous views of planets and nebulae during our popular Star Parties.” PVCC partners with the Phoenix Astronomical Society to provide students, faculty and members of the community with opportunities to explore the dark night skies of Cave Creek and Carefree. “We are constantly striving to bring learning alive at PVCC as well as finding ways to actively engage students and community members as learners.” said Paradise Valley Community College president, Paul Dale. “I am confident that this new telescope will serve as a catalyst for enhancing learning and community engagement around astronomy, physics and related sciences.” Before the first light viewing party, there will be a STEAM night highlighting astronomy through hands-on activities. The STEAM night will run 6–7pm. Both events are free and open to the public. To RSVP, send an email to events@pasaz.org. Paradise Valley Community College at Black Mountain is a satellite site of Paradise Valley Community College. It is located 34250 North 60 Street in Scottsdale. For additional information, visit www.paradisevalley.edu/ black-mountain.
For the cowgirls and cowboys who are watching the waist — it’s hard to get up on that horse after a BBQ loaded meal; the horse doesn’t like it either — chef Bryan Dooley of Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbeque heard the call, and acted. “One person after another would step up to the order window and say, ‘Hey Chef, when are we getting a salad on the menu?’ We had our Ribs of Romaine as a side but they wanted meat too. It took me some time to come up with just the right combo that still said Bryan’s BBQ, and we have it for sure!” Bryan’s has more surprises to come in the year, but for now the chef introduces his fresh salad entrée, with several choices: • The Iceberg Wedge with Creamy Smoked Tomato Date Dressing, choice of meats — chicken, pork, brisket or ribs — served with toast points. (Dooley says this dressing tastes like bacon.) The salad is topped with shaved red onion, pear tomatoes and chopped dates.

• Ribs of Romaine with Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette and choice of sides — chicken, pork, brisket or ribs. This is the original but enhanced with the meats. Guests can even order the Creamy Smoked Tomato Dressing instead. Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue is located at 6130 East Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek. For information, call 480.575.7155 or visit www.bryansbbq.com.

Local Artist’s Glasswork Featured At Empty Bowls Carole Perry, who helped create the Foothills Empty Bowls Lunch in the Northern Desert Foothills more than 17 years ago, knows glass. Intimately. Her business, Laughing Glass Contemporary Glass Art Studio, has been producing beautiful glass artwork for more than 27 years and thousands of Laughing Glass bowls have been a hallmark of the colorful glass and ceramic bowls offered each year as part of the Foothills Empty Bowls Lunch to honor World Hunger Day. This year, Perry and other local artists’ glass and ceramic bowls will be available to participants who attend the event at Harold’s Corral, from 11am–1pm, Friday, October 20. Perry says she began working with the project because her local community supports artists and as an artist, she wanted to give back in a meaningful way. Perry and her Sonoran Arts League friends began by creating and donating bowls to the Empty Bowls project at the Arizona Center in 1997. After starting the Foothills Empty Bowls Lunch to benefit the Foothills Food Bank at El Pedregal in North Scottsdale in 2000, Empty Bowls now has found a home in Cave Creek. Today, Perry continues giving back while enjoying her own success as one of the top glass artists of her kind. “When I came back to the desert, every magical, mystical thing came together for me,” says Perry. “I love what I do and this is where I learned the simplest of rules: the more you give, the more you receive…and, I get to live in the greatest place on Earth.”

Archaeology Society Kicks Off Lecture Season Desert Foothills Chapter of the Nazca fish pot Arizona Archaeology Society, based in Cave Creek, is a nonprofit celebrating over 50 years of existence. The chapter meets September through May on the second Wednesday of each month in Cave Creek and features well-known guest lecturers during these meetings. The meetings are open to the public at no cost, except for the December Christmas Party, which is members only. The September 13 meeting features Todd W. Bostwick, PhD, RPA presenting “Interpreting the Nazca Lines: Enigmatic Images of the Peruvian Desert.� The mysterious lines and figures sketched onto the desert floor of Southern Peru, one of the most arid regions of the world, have long intrigued archaeologists and explorers. There are various theories proposed concerning the origins and purposes of these geoglyphs, from wild speculation that they served as runways for alien spaceships to more believable but nonetheless controversial ideas that they are related to ancient astronomy. This talk provides a detailed examination of the culture that created the geoglyphs, shows aerial photographs of the more famous geoglyphs and discusses the various researchers who worked in Nazca and the results of their studies. Studies demonstrated that the Nazca people developed an ingenious underground water system that allowed them to survive in the harsh desert environment, and excavations revealed a ceramic tradition that incorporated colorful and bizarre scenes painted on their vessels. Dr. Bostwick has conducted archaeological research in the Southwest for 36 years. He was the Phoenix City Archaeologist for 21 years at Pueblo Grande Museum and is currently the Director of Archaeology at the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. The Desert Foothills Chapter meetings are held in the community room (Maitland Hall) at The Good Shepard of the Hills Episcopal Church, 6502 East Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek. Refreshments are available at 7pm and the meeting begins at 7:30pm, usually ending prior to 9pm. For information, visit www.azarchsoc.wildapricot.org/desertfoothills.
