all weather is finally here, and the Town of Cave Creek is ready to welcome one and all as it kicks off its 2019-20 season of events. “Cave Creek is preparing for yet another busy special event season,” says Town of Cave Creek’s Marshal Adam Stein. “Each year we are seeing more and more visitors coming to our great events in Cave Creek. Residents and visitors alike are realizing that Cave Creek is the place to be and the place everyone wants to visit. The town has welcomed more and more special events in town and driving through our town during the ‘busy’ season will clearly show you that Cave Creek is a happening place. From mountain bike events to Cave Creek Bike Week to the Taste of Cave Creek and Hidden in the Hills. “People who want to have fun…come to Cave Creek. Welcome back to our friends and visitors, and if you have never come to Cave Creek…what are you waiting for? All your friends are visiting us, see what you are missing.” Head to page 35 for a calendar of some of the great events coming to the Town this season. Keep the calendar as a handy reference throughout the year, and we’ll see you around town! |CST

Time sure does fly by. Here we are in October again. Fall colors (out of state plates) and cooler mornings. Once again, we’re looking forward to the Taste of Cave Creek, which is the 16th and 17th this year. This popular event highlights local restaurants and has become a great social gathering. Live music and food, what a great combination. MAYOR Once again, Cave Creek will be alive with Town of Cave Creek ghouls and goblins during the Wicked event, 480.488.1400 October 26. www.cavecreek.org Now, here is my “broken record” message again. With the fall rains and cooler weather, Globe chamomile will once again be inundating our community. Make plans to combat this invasive [plant] earlier this year. I am still searching for the most environmentally friendly preemergent. Last month I made a call to the State Agriculture Department and am still awaiting an answer. The prospects for the financial security of Cave Creek are looking up with the addition of the businesses along Carefree Highway. In September, the Town Council approved the site plan for Abrazo (a micro hospital with emergency room) just west of what will be Sprouts. Not everyone is happy with development of any type, but property rights are at the very foundation of our great country. Brace yourselves for the upcoming tourist invasion but remember, our businesses must make hay while the sun shines! See you next month!

Recognize World Hunger Day at Empty Bowls Friday, Oct. 18, the annual Foothills Empty Bowls Lunch & Art Auction to honor World Hunger Day will be held at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral, from 11am to 1pm. Sonoran Arts League of Cave Creek sponsors the event. All proceeds from the event benefit the Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center. The popular art auction began Sept. 3 and runs through the October event. Art lovers and food bank supporters can bid on the artwork, which includes a wide variety of items including paintings, sculpture, glass, wire, copper, gourds, mixed media, engraving, ceramic, jewelry and more, all custom created by local artists. Individuals can bid online at www.foothillsfoodbank.com. The artwork will be present for viewing during lunch with the auction closing at 1pm. “We are excited to offer the auction online so people who support this worthy cause can spend the quality time they need to research the bid items,” says Pam DiPietro, executive director of Foothills Food Bank. “This has always been an amazing event with a great turnout.” 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.

Sonoran Trails Eighth Graders Win Heritage Grant Award

10.19

Sonoran Trails Middle School announced that Mrs. Petrine’s eighth graders from the 2018–19 school year submitted a grant proposal to the Arizona Game & Fish Department and won. The Environmental Education grant for “Schoolyard Wildlife Habitat” received $9,844 toward the project. The Sonoran Trails PTO also contributed to the project cost. Petrine submitted the application to Arizona Game and Fish in November 2018. The grant was received just before the 2018–19 school year ended. Sonoran Trails PTO supplemented the grant with an additional $3,000 towards the school beautification project adding ocotillos to the space. Principal Bill Dolezal said, “It is amazing when you give control over to students and ask them to solve an authentic problem, the wonderful solutions they can produce. We look forward to working with Arizona Game and Fish to complete their grant.” The students created and presented plans for creating a habitat that would enhance the campus and attract wildlife. The students then voted for the best presentation of their class and they had the opportunity to vote on the five projects that stood out among all of Petrine’s classes. The ideas from the winning presentation were incorporated into Unique Artisan Jewelry, the grant that was submitted. Fashion and Gifts Arizona Game and Fish website states: The Heritage Fund money comes from Arizona Lottery ticket sales and was established by voter initiative in 1990. Heritage funding goes toward conservation efforts such as protecting endangered species, educating students and the general public about wildlife and the outdoors, and creating new opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Heritage Fund Grant Program was established by the Arizona Game and Fish Department in 1992 as part of the overall Heritage Fund program. Cave Creek Unified School District superintendent Dr. Debbi Burdick said, “Our students are amazing problem-solvers as evidenced by this thoughtful school beautification project. Now we can all enjoy their efforts on the STMS campus.” This class, now freshman at Cactus Shadows High School, included the following plants for the habitat: Desert ironwood; Mesquite; Blue Palo Verde; Desert Willow Trees (about five of each); Baja fairy duster, Ocotillo; San Marcos Hibiscus; THE JEWEL OF THE CREEK and Purple Sage shrubs (about five of each). 6140 E.

The Kiwanis Club of Carefree recently shared a “behind the scenes” look at how it decides which students, schools, community groups and organizations will receive its financial support. The Kiwanis Benefit Foundation typically generates revenue of about a million dollars a year, mostly from sales at its Kiwanis Marketplace Thrift Store in Cave Creek. After expenses, the Foundation usually has over $800,000 available each year to give back to the community. Three standing committees — Scholarship, Major Projects and Funds Requests — make decisions regarding which organizations receive funding, and the amount. The Funds Requests Committee members are John Skarda, chair; Joyce Jordan, Craig Raby and Gary Howard. This committee acts as a sort of “clearing house” for written applications mailed in by applicants. The committee determines which of the three standing committees are appropriate to review an application. Applications to award scholarships to college-bound students go to the Scholarship Committee; applications for most school related funding go to the Major Projects Committee and applications for all other concerns remain with the Funds Requests Committee. The Funds Requests Committee addresses applications by local schools and community organizations for help with their specific projects or programs. The geographic limits of Club giving are roughly the same

as the boundaries of the Cave Creek Unified School District (CCUSD). Last year, the committee’s budget was over $200,000. The committee usually receives twice the number of applications that it can fund. Approximately 60–70 percent of applicants have received awards in the past. For those who do receive awards, the amounts are often sizeable. For example, the Club donated $5,000 to Cactus Shadows High School for sport scholarships, $3,800 to CCUSD for an Otoacoustic hearing screener, $35,000 to YMCA for swimming and summer camp, and $25,000 to Foothills Caring Corp. Other recipients have included Annunciation School, the Boy Scouts, Carefree Christian Academy, Cave Creek Rodeo, Foothills Food Bank, Foothills Academy, Holland Center, Jubilate Arts, Kachina’s Place, Our Lady of Joy, Scott Foundation, Sonoran Arts League, Soroptimist, Spirit in the Desert Retreat, Upscale Singers and Veterans Heritage. In total, the committee in 2019 will approve almost $215,000 to various school and youth programs in the community. The criteria for receiving an award from the Club is always the same: Will this serve and benefit the children in our community? Kiwanis Club of Carefree has been fortunate to have been able to donate millions of dollars to worthy students, schools and organizations in the Carefree and Cave Creek communities in the last decade.

A signature event of the nonprofit Sonoran Arts League, the annual Hidden in the Hills Artist Studio Tour is Arizona’s largest and longestrunning artist studio tour. This year’s free, self-guided tour features 198 artists at 47 studio locations throughout the scenic Desert Foothills communities of Carefree, Cave Creek and North Scottsdale during the last two weekends of November: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 22–24, and Nov. 29 – Dec. 1. This year, Scottsdale painter Sue Hunter’s mixed media collage painting, “All Tied Up,” featuring a rare scarlet “All Tied Up” by Sue Hunter ibis, will grace the cover of the 23rd annual Tour artist directory. An ibis is a long-legged wading bird that inhabits wetlands, forests and plains. Hunter’s colorful, whimsical collage painting was among more than 75 pieces of diverse fine art entries submitted for consideration of the cover art during a juried selection process on May 11. “There were so many terrific entries, but we kept going back to Sue’s whimsy and bright mixed media collage painting,” said Hidden in the Hills co-chair, Jane Boggs. Art enthusiasts will be able to find details about all participating artists as well as studio locations and downloadable maps at www.hiddeninthehills.org. In addition, the Sonoran Arts League’s Center for the Arts will serve as the event’s information headquarters and Youth Art Studio No. 1. The League office is located at 7100 East Cave Creek Road, Suite 144, at Stagecoach Village in Cave Creek. For information, call 480.575.6624 or visit www.sonoranartsleague.org.

Chinese Sister School Experiences a Cave Creek High School The philosopher Confucius said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The journey of a million miles begins with a single step.â&#x20AC;? These initial steps were recently taken by 28 Chinese high school students from a sister school in Yichang, Hubei Province in China. They made an inaugural trip to Cave Creek Aug. 14â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18 after spending a few days in New York and Washington D.C. The students (ages 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;17) arrived in the Cave Creek School District to meet face to face with a desert landscape and their assigned host families for five days of typical American family life.

The Chinese students attended Cactus Shadows High School with their Cave Creek Unified School District (CCUSD) host students for two days, taking math quizzes, participating in dance class, even going to French classes. In the evenings, they spent time seeing all of the extracurricular events in which CCUSD students are involved. The weekend was full of trips to Sedona, Lake Pleasant, even the Grand Canyon. Cristina Ladas, CCUSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Language Programs director said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;International activities that connect our

students with the outside world and vice versa are a win-win for everyone.â&#x20AC;? This five-year-old program is a result of a partnership that CCUSD developed with the first international Chinese guest teacher that came to teach through a program sponsored in part by the U.S. Department of State. For additional information on the World Language Programs offered at CCUSD, contact Ladas at cladas@ccusd93.net.

The 2019–20 season is the Cave Creek Museum’s 50th year of preserving the artifacts of the prehistory, culture and legacy of the Cave Creek/Carefree foothills area through education, research and interpretive exhibits. The Museum officially kicks off its season Wednesday, Oct. 2, and Valley residents are invited to explore and learn about the archaeology and history of the area through the Museum’s various indoor exhibits, or stroll through the outdoor campus, which allows visitors to view the restored 1800s stamp mill, the Sonoran Desert Gardens, Tubercular Cabin and the First Church of Cave Creek. In addition to its ongoing exhibits and to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, there will be a season-long celebration of architectural designer and builder Gerry Jones, whose career spans over 65 years in the Valley. Jones was a pioneer in developing Carefree, originally a 2,200-acre planned community established by Tom Darlington and K.T. Palmer between 1957 and 1959. Jones realized their vision by laying out the roads and lots, then designing and building many of Carefree’s finest homes. He developed a new concept of land-fit architecture, summed up in his paper “Must We Destroy in Order to Build?” It became the basis of Carefree’s architectural guidelines. Jones’ dedication to preserving mountainous terrain and respecting the natural contours of his building sites led to years as an instructor at Frank Lloyd Wright’s School of Architecture. He also wrote Maricopa County’s first hillside building ordinance, which protects local mountains yet today. See Cave Creek Museum, page 47

Archaeology Society Announces October Meeting

Serving the Community Since 2002

The Desert Foothills Chapter of the Arizona Archaeology Society will hold its next meeting Wednesday, Oct. 9, in the Community Room at The Good Shepard of the Hills Episcopal Church, 6502 East Cave Creek Road. This month, Ken Zoll presents, “Prehistoric Southwest Infrastructure and Movement.” Zoll is the executive director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. He is also the regional coordinator for the site steward program with the Arizona State Parks and Trails, and a volunteer docent at cultural heritage sites in the Coconino National Forest. The movement of goods from one part of the country to another is an intriguing subject. Economics, religions and esthetics furnished the driving force with transportation a romantic intermediary. As trade plays such a lively part of our own lives, we may wonder about trade in the pre-Columbian past. Peoples of the Southwest and Mexico used various corridors for trade and as a communication network for hundreds of years before the arrival of European settlers. Zoll will discuss ancient trade routes that supplied Southwest Native American tribes with goods from Mesoamerica. Marine shells, parrots, macaws, chocolate and copper objects came from the south. In return, Southwestern peoples sent locally produced items south such as turquoise, peridot, serpentine, garnet and other semiprecious stones as well as pottery, salt and earthen pigments. Many of these ancient trails are today’s modern highways. 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. Refreshments will be available at 7pm and the meeting begins at 7:30pm, usually ending prior to 9pm. For additional information, visit www.azarchsoc.wildapricot.org/desertfoothills.

Join the Chamber for Breakfast Join members of the Carefree Cave Creek Chamber of Commerce for an informational monthly business breakfast presentation and early morning networking.

Community Invited to Examine Issues Facing Families – Offer Solutions

Serving the Community Since 2002

Nearly a quarter of Arizona’s children live in poverty. Ten children per every 1,000 live in foster care. Twenty percent of Arizona’s kids don’t graduate from high school. Every one of those statistics exceeds the national average. Cave Creek area residents are invited to join a community discussion, Strong Families — Thriving Children, to examine challenges faced by children and families and develop a roadmap to help them build resilience and thrive. This gathering is part of Arizona Town Hall’s statewide Community Town Halls designed specifically for an up-close, local look and solution-based conversation. The issues to be discussed include child well-being; adverse childhood experiences; family support; child abuse and neglect; family violence; substance abuse; children with disabilities and the unique challenges they face. A comprehensive background research report shared with all participants includes the history of each issue and realities Arizona faces today allowing each participant to come ready to engage in the conversations and consensus dialogue. The Community Town Hall is set for Tuesday, Oct. 8, at Desert Foothills Library, located at 38443 North Schoolhouse Road. Registration opens from 12:30pm to 1pm, and the program will run 1–4:30pm. Refreshments will be provided. Seating is limited to the first 100 registrants. Input from this program will be developed into a consensus report and be incorporated into the statewide Arizona Town Hall discussion set for Nov. 14–16 in Phoenix. Community members from all walks of life are encouraged to attend to help shape a broad and diverse consensus document that will include specific action items that can be embraced within organizations, businesses and government entities both locally and statewide. The event is sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Carefree and Desert Foothills Library is providing the meeting space. Registration is free and required due to limited seating.

Little Gym Opens in Cave Creek Brand new children’s play facility, The Little Gym of Cave Creek, recently opened its doors to the Arizona community and hosted an open house event. The new gym, owned by local veteran Dan Drummond and located at 29455 North Cave Creek Road, Suite 102, in Cave Creek, provided area children and families with the opportunity to enjoy fun and educational gym games such as group activities using the parachute, skill demonstration and spotting on bars, beam, and vault, refreshments and a raffle. The Little Gym International, is a children’s enrichment and development franchise that offers movement-based learning and imaginative play for kids from 4 months to 12 years old. The Little Gym of Cave Creek, like all other The Little Gym facilities, follows a philosophy in all of its classes referred to as “Three Dimensional Learning.” They are: Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid. Get Moving uses physical activities to burn that boundless energy, plus build flexibility and strength, develop balance and coordination, and encourage agility, rhythm and overall fitness to launch a lifetime of healthy habits. Brain Boost was designed to expand the mind and develop a love of learning. These exercises foster listening skills, sustained concentration and decisionmaking, prepare for or reinforce school lessons, and nurture problem-solving ability and creative expression. Citizen Kid uses activities to teach students life skills like sharing, working in a group, listening and leadership — all skills that translate to a well-adjusted, well-rounded superkid.
