Sixteenth Annual Fountain Hills Fine Art & Wine Festival

Gretchen Borgelt, “Bold” Master Rock Artist Carlos Moseley creates hanging, one-of-a-kind rock pieces out of colored stones found in nature. Native rocks and pebbles are collected, without disturbing the environment and incorporated together to create cleverly unique artworks. There are no limits of the imagination as Moseley has created early Western historical scenes, underwater images, animals, still life pieces, landscapes, modern day art themes and everything in between. His studio is located in Texas Hill Country, where his backyard provides him with the materials to create his pieces. He and his wife, Carol, are business partners and work together to travel throughout the United States and participate in 25 fine art events annually.

After viewing Moseley’s works, patrons can stroll throughout this juried festival hosting more than 130 nationally acclaimed, award-winning artists from throughout the country and abroad. This event is located in the home to “One of the world’s tallest fountains,” Fountain Hills. At full power, the fountain rises 560 feet into the air and runs for approximately 15 minutes at the top of the hour, from 10am to 9pm daily.

In addition to the art and live music, presented by Teresa Joy and others, for $10, patrons receive an engraved souvenir wine or beer glass with six tasting tickets, allowing them to sample a broad array of wines from local to international wineries. Tasting tickets may be used for wine, micro-brews and flavored spirits, and additional tickets may be purchased for $1.

This is the last event of Thunderbird Artists’ festival season. Hours are 10am to 5pm each day. Admission is $3 and parking is free. (Admission is free for Fountain Hills residents.) Proceeds benefit the Sunset Kiwanis of Fountain Hills. For details, visit www. thunderbirdartists.com. Wilfong, “Life’s Dance”

AASK Recruiting Volunteer Camp Counselors

By Clint Williams, Aid to Adoption of Special Kids – AASK

Hiking and kayaking in the cool high country near Payson is a great way to spend a week in June. And doing it while bringing smiles to the faces of children in foster care is even better.

The Seventh Annual AASK Sibling Summer Camp is recruiting volunteer counselors for a week of adventure at Camp Tontozona near Payson, starting June 14.

Aid to Adoption of Special Kids (AASK) each summer brings siblings in foster care together for a week of fun and an opportunity to reconnect.

“Sibling relationships are usually our longest lasting relationships and one of the most important relationships we have,” says JoAnne Chiariello, director of family support services at AASK.

“But children in foster care are often placed in foster homes or group homes apart from their brothers and sisters,” says Chiariello.

Research shows that strong, positive sibling relationships are associated with less loneliness, fewer behavioral problems and higher self-worth.

Camp activities include swimming, hiking, kayaking, horseback ridings and rappelling. A magician will entertain kids and counselors one night. There is a birthday celebration in which everyone gets a cake and siblings exchange presents. Volunteer camp counselors are a vital component to the success of the camp. Counselors need to be up to the challenges of hiking, kayaking and horseback riding. Volunteers must complete a fingerprint background screening and attend a training session.

For additional information, contact Amanda Gonzales at 602.930.4482 or go online at www.aask-az.org/volunteer. The deadline to apply is March 15.

Hanging Out at the Hangar — 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio AWD

I fell in love with this vehicle the first time I drove it. There is something about the style, the grille, the serpent and cross emblem that makes you feel like you are driving through the Italian mountains of Lake Como.

To my surprise, while visiting North Scottsdale Alfa Romeo, I watched Alice Cooper sign over 100 Guitars for the dealership’s annual giveaway, buy a CAR get a GUITAR. As if that wasn’t enough, I went on to visit Nelson and Mitch at their Helicopter Hangar to get a beautiful shot of the Stelvio. [See the video at http://news.CITYSunTimes.com — search “HER Certified.”]

It was a great week of test driving this sports car but the question most people asked was, “Why is there a four-leaf clover on an Italian car?” (Maybe it was why I had such a “lucky” week.) If you too were wondering, here is the why.

When Alfa Romeo has a four-leaf clover on their cars, it’s on their Quadrifoglio (performance cars) and it has more meaning than a leprechaun might imagine.

The four-leaf clover logo denoting the Quadrifoglio designation was originally used by Ugo Sivocci, a friend of Enzo Ferrari, as a good luck charm. He painted it on the grille of his Alfa Romeo RL and won the 1923 Targa Florio. Alfa Romeo began using it on all its race cars after Sivocci died in a crash a few months later.

Musings for March 2020

With so much activity locally, nationally, globally speeding by us daily, I think it might be an appropriate time to take a few moments to sit back, relax and reflect on that stampede of news, sports, traffic that tramples us daily.

This month of March is a great way to start that dreamy interlude. In the play Oklahoma there is a song about March, which comes in “like a lion — a whippin’ up the water in the bay.” The quiet month of March at its beginning — no longer quiet. Now a wild and ferocious 31-days. What’s happening that causes such a critical transition from benign to nearly violent?

for 2020 Girl Scouts Camps

Registration for Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus Pine-Council (GSACPC) 2020 summer camps is now open for its four camp locations: The Parsons Leadership Center for Girls and Women at Camp South Mountain (Phoenix), Camp Maripai (Prescott), Shadow Rim Ranch (Payson) and Willow Springs (Prescott). Each camp has its own special offerings, along with the traditional camp activities, to accommodate the diverse interests of every girl. Yet the purpose of Girl Scout camp remains the same — to provide girls a safe and supportive place to have fun, make new friends, and take risks while learning new skills and exploring the outdoors.

“We live in a world of screens — smartphones, laptops, TVs and tablets. At Girl Scout summer camp, girls get to get away from it all, experience the outdoors in an all-girl, safe setting while they develop outdoor skills that are hard to gain anywhere else,” said Tamara Woodbury, CEO for GSACPC. “Skills like building a campfire, pitching a tent and canoeing across a lake. Plus, they’ll try new things, discover their passions and challenge themselves in new ways.”

Studies show that when girls attend Girl Scout Camp, they discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges; develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and are happier overall; and become team players and care more about protecting our environment.

GSACPC’s all-girl environment gives girls the space to continue to develop a positive selfimage, build courage, confidence and character by connecting with others and their natural environment.

In addition, girls get to choose how they want to experience camp. At GSACPC girls get to choose between four different camps, lengths and durations plus choose which camp program and skill they want to learn. Photo courtesy of Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus Pine-Council

The program focus of each of the four camps is as follows: • The Parsons Leadership Center, an $18 million state-of-the-art urban camp with sessions for both day and overnight campers, include STEM-related activities, archery, swimming, arts and crafts and field trips. • Camp Maripai offers a traditional camp experience, like archery and canoeing, along with horsemanship programs for beginners through advanced riders. • Shadow Rim Ranch offers outdoor adventures such as hiking and canoeing trip and travel sessions, plus outdoor cooking, zip-lining and archery. • Willow Springs emphasizes artistic endeavors like ceramics, fashion and theater, as well as hiking, archery, a ropes challenge course and aviation.

All four camps offer sessions that vary in length, from weekend family camp and day camp to overnight camps and three-week-long quests. Summer camp begins the week of May 31 and runs for nine weeks, with the last camp week at each location starting in late July.

As Girl Scouts believe all girls should have the opportunity to experience summer camp, registration offers tiered pricing and financial assistance. Girls who are not Girl Scouts are welcome to register. To sign up, visit www.girlscoutsaz.org/camp.

Humane Society Offers Spring Break Camps

Arizona Humane Society will offer children who are fascinated by animals a number of spring break opportunities this month.

Those who have perhaps expressed an interest in becoming a veterinarian one day may want to check out the Animal Doctors Camp, March 9–11. The program offers children the opportunity to explore what it takes to be a veterinarian.

This career-discovery program for young animal enthusiasts focuses on the science of veterinary medicine. Students will learn to suture, read X-rays, study animal anatomy and physiology and more. The Wild Wonders Camp, March 16–18, explores how to save wildlife through compassion, preservation and conservation. Participants will be a part of the Society’s most hands-on camp, which encompasses the importance of wild and domestic animal sanctuaries and rehabilitators. Campers will see the dedication and time that is put into saving these precious lives by interacting and learning about wildlife in this collaborative camp. Join the Arizona Humane Society, Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary and more, to learn to preserve, coexist and keep pets safe around our wild neighbors.

Camps are open to ages nine to 12. Each three-day camp costs $220 and run 8am–4pm (no after-care is available.) Camps will be held at the Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion, 1521 West Dobbins Road in Phoenix. For additional information or to register, visit www.azhumane.org/camps or call 602.997.7585, Ext. 2005.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE

Superintendent Cave Creek Unified School District DR. DEBBI BURDICK Last December, CCUSD presented our new Strategic Plan for Excellence and Innovation 2020–2023 to the Governing Board. Over 600 stakeholders in our school community responded to the following four questions last school year to provide insight into this new plan, implemented in January: • How will our learning environment be structured to meet the needs of our students?

• What does the perfect school look like?

• How will we prepare our graduates to be ready for college and 21st Century careers?

• What do you feel are non-negotiables for student learning and success? Last spring and fall, 31 dedicated community members, parents, staff and students met for deep dialogue and consideration to develop the following five goals from the input submitted from the public, our school site councils and PTOs, and our staff and students: 1. Ensure a unique, innovative learning experience for all students that develops well-prepared graduates for college and careers.

2. Create a student-focused environment that enhances and promotes learning.

3. Identify and address our learning community’s physical, social and emotional needs to encourage each individual to reach their full potential.

4. Build optimistic and resilient students for success in career and life.

5. Explore and secure resources to support innovative learning for students and staff. This insightful committee worked to identify strategic outcomes to support each goal. From there, staff added activities and tasks to accomplish the work. To view the 2020–2023 Strategic Plan, visit our CCUSD website at www. ccusd93.org – About CCUSD – Superintendent – Strategic Plan. We are extremely excited to start this effort as we venture forward to benefit our students as well as the staff that support them. We hope you will come visit us in our schools!

Art Detour returns for its 32nd year March 19–23, at the very height of the 2020 events season. The annual spring event, presented by Artlink Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was launched by artists in Downtown Phoenix in 1989 and has grown into a PHX Art Week celebration of art, creativity and culture. The event is supported by Arizona Commission on the Arts, Phoenix Office of Arts & Culture, Downtown Phoenix Inc. and hundreds of artists and creatives, venues, and arts and culture community members.

While the heart of the activity is in Downtown Phoenix— which includes the renowned Roosevelt Row, Historic Grand Avenue, Downtown Phoenix Core, and the Phoenix Warehouse District—it also extends to arts neighborhoods and destinations throughout the greater metropolitan Phoenix Area, including Uptown, Midtown and South Phoenix, Calle 16, Miracle Mile on McDowell, and the Garfield, Coronado and Roosevelt Historic Districts. • March 20-29: Modern Phoenix Week — presented by Modern Phoenix, spotlights Arizona’s Midcentury Modern architecture with a schedule of tours, workshops, talks and mixers. • March 23: The Creative City Symposium — developed in partnership with Phoenix Community Alliance and identifies actionable items in the Valley that create a culturally rich and economically diverse community. • March 21: On Central Fashion & Art — presented by The Garment League, showcasing Phoenix’s most talented fashion designers, artists and trendsetters.

Netflix Snapped up The 40-Year-Old Version at Sundance 2020

By Kaely Monahan and Tuesday Mahrle

Radha, a once-promising playwright, is facing the “Big 4-0” with little, in her mind, to show for it. Caught questioning her abilities as an artist and frustrated with being pigeon-holed as a black artist, she breaks away from it all to become a rapper. The 40-Year-Old Version is by far the funniest film we saw at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

WHISKEY AND POPCORN REVIEWS

Radha Blank in The 40-Year-Old Version; Photo: Jeong Park; Courtesy of Sundance Institute

Witty without being too on-the-nose, director, writer and lead actress, Radha Blank neatly captured the real struggles of creative fatigue and fears of aging that’s all too relatable. For a debut feature film, Blank delivers an authentic story about facing ourselves as we are now. Watch out for this film on Netflix.

BOOKSHELF: Saving Lives, Saving Dignity

Dr. Alan Molk, MD, FACEP, has co-authored a book, Saving Lives, Saving Dignity, in which he describes and analyzes his personal and professional experiences with end-of-life scenarios.

His painful yet enlightening journey with his late mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s dementia prompted him to put his grief to pen and paper, largely as a personal catharsis.

In his more than 35 years as a board-certified emergency room physician, he has also come across countless examples of patients and their families dealing with terminal and life-limiting illnesses. It became obvious to him that so many of these unfortunate patients were subjected to aggressive but futile care in lieu of more dignified comfort care. He then partnered with his cousin and fellow emergency physician, Dr. Robert Shapiro of Southern California, who also dealt with similar personal losses including the loss of his wife, who lost her battle with a brain tumor at a young age. The book brings a unique perspective among emergency room physicians, who are trained to save lives at all costs. Dr. Molk and Dr. Shapiro believe this is a limiting philosophy.

“By initiating a full-court press treatment plan to a patient who is clearly at end-of-life or near end-of-life, we deny the patients and their families a more comfortable death in a dignified setting such as hospice,” Dr. Molk notes. “This book addresses the importance of having the conversation about death or end-of-life, and not making it taboo.”

To learn more about Dr. Molk, Dr. Shapiro and their mission, visit www.savingdignity. com or reach them by email at kindnesspublishing@gmail.com.

DESTINATIONS Arizona’s Secret Canyon Remote, Lush & Diverse, Steal Away to Aravaipa Canyon

By Edie Jarolim

Looking to escape civilization and its discontents? Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness, a desert oasis tucked away between Tucson and Phoenix, might just be the place. The Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) parcels out only 50 permits a day to enter the 19,410-acre preserve, thus minimizing encounters with other humans while maximizing opportunities to ogle wildlife.

Bighorn sheep, mule deer, bobcats, javelina and more than 200 types of birds are among the species drawn to the year-round stream that threads its way through the dramatic 11-milelong gorge in the Galiuro Mountains. Prickly pear cacti poke out from impossible perches in sandstone cliffs that soar as high as 1,000 feet, while sycamores, willows and cottonwoods hold sway below.

This is the natural universe unplugged, with no formal trails or campsites — just a streambed to follow during the day and whatever canopy of trees you choose to rest under at night. But maybe you’re not soothed by mysterious animal cries after dark and prefer to sleep on a mattress that doesn’t require inflating. Good news. In a pristine spread near the preserve’s western entrance, Aravaipa Farms Orchard & Inn offers abundant creature comforts while eliminating creature worries.

Both canyon and inn have rich histories.

Early native peoples, including the Hohokam, Mogollon, Salado and Sobaipuri, lived along the lush banks of the spring-fed stream. The Western Apaches who followed gave the region its name: Aravaipa means “land of the laughing waters.” Settlers in the early 20th century had a heavier footprint: farmers diverted the creek, miners dynamited fishing holes and ranchers hunted cattle-eating species.

Concern over these depredations led Congress to protect the vast Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness in 1984. In

addition, the Nature Conservancy took guardianship of 9,000 acres adjacent to the BLM land. Author Edward Abbey finished “The Monkey Wrench Gang” while serving as the first manager of Photos: Foskett Creative the Conservancy’s preserve. Among the reasons he was sacked: skinny-dipping in Aravaipa Creek.

Arizona’s Secret Canyon, continued from page 52

Although the mines were shuttered, a scattering of the canyon’s farms and ranches remained — including a spread with an abandoned fruit orchard bought by culinary pioneer Carol Steele. In the 1970s, Steele became known in Scottsdale and Phoenix for such ventures as a French bakery/cooking school that numbered as-yet-unknown chefs Jacques Pepin, Diana Kennedy and Jeremiah Towner among its instructors. Steele’s foodie devotees flocked to the rustic-chic B&B she created at the orchard in 1995, despite — or perhaps because of — its off-the-beaten-path location.

After Steele retired, new owners updated the inn while maintaining its founder’s spirit.

You can feel Steele’s presence everywhere: in the colorful mosaic tiles of the walk-in showers and patios of the guest casitas; in the assortment of handmade bird feeders and metal sculptures that dot the grounds; and, especially, in the converted barn where guests gather for dinner.

Steele’s farm-to-table ethos is alive and well — and carefully planned additions are ensuring a lasting legacy. Last spring, 350 new trees took root alongside their mature cousins. Varieties include peach, plum, apricot, cherry, pomegranate, fig, apple and more. In addition, a large new garden produces heirloom tomatoes, yellow watermelon, kale...you never know what garden-ripened bounty might turn up on your plate at dinnertime.

Vases of fresh-cut zinnias, sunflowers, gomphrena and other grown-on-site blooms also appear on the wood plank dinner table, another of the many details that make a stay here special. No question: A little civilization in the wilderness can add a lot of contentment.

Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block (TMA) celebrates one of the most powerful and influential art dealers in Arizona and New Mexico art history in Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch. The exhibition kicked off Feb. 29 and runs through June 21. Art dealer Elaine Horwitch was a major force in contemporary art in the Southwest from the early 1970s until her death in 1991, responsible for launching the careers of hundreds of artists from the region and the nation. She championed contemporary Native American and Latino art as well as mainstreaming folk art, outsider art and craft into the fine art realm. With galleries in Scottsdale, Santa Fe, Sedona and Palm Springs, she was a leader in fostering what has been called “new Western art” or “Southwest pop.”

The exhibition highlights the works of some of the Elaine Horwitch Galleries’ most popular artists. Drawn from the Tucson Museum of Art collection and national loans, these paintings, sculptures and works on paper reveal the breadth of art and innovation that occurred in the Southwest at a pivotal time of change. According to Dr. Julie Sasse, “Elaine Horwitch’s influence and impact on the development of contemporary art in the Southwest was remarkable. These artworks express a boldness of creativity previously unmatched in the Southwest.”

Dr. Sasse, who has been a curator at TMA for nearly two decades, worked for Elaine Horwitch Galleries from 1980 until 1995. “She was one of the most interesting and dynamic women I have ever known, and I’m honored to document her legacy,” Sasse said. “Many of the works in this exhibition are like old friends, as are the artists themselves.” Elaine Horwitch with Robert Redford; Photo courtesy of TMA

Auxiliary galleries will present other prominent Arizona and New Mexico artists who played an active role in the rise of contemporary art in the region. Featured artists include Philip C. Curtis, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Emmi Whitehorse, Harmony Hammond, Richard Hogan and Paul Pletka. Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch is accompanied by a book of the same name written by Dr. Julie Sasse and co-published by Cattle Track Arts & Preservation and Tucson Museum of Art. The book is available through the Museum Store and the TMA website. The exhibition is supported by a robust series of public programs, details of which can be found on the TMA website.

The Seventh Annual Italian Festival of Arizona has a new Downtown Phoenix location, and new date, Saturday and Sunday, March 14–15, when festival-goers will see city streets come alive with a variety of authentic Italian foods and entertainment for a delightful cultural celebration.

Italian Festival of Arizona happens Saturday, 11am–9pm; and Sunday, 11am–5pm, on Jackson Street between 1st and 4th streets, with a main gate at 3rd Street on the north side of Jackson. The move to Downtown Phoenix city streets comes after the overwhelming demand at the event last year, and the vision to grow a larger Italian festival in an urban environment similar to Italian festivals in other major cities. The event is being produced R Entertainment in conjunction with the Italian Association of Arizona. “In 2020, we’re embracing that classic street festival setting, reminiscent of traditional Italian Festivals in other parts of the country,” said Frank Guzzo, executive director of the nonprofit Italian Association of Arizona. “With an expanded event, we’re able to add more fantastic Italian food vendors and mix in more cultural elements — both modern and traditional — including entertainment from Italy. The 2020 event will be a rousing downtown celebration of Italian food and culture. And importantly, this event supports the association’s goal to develop an Italian Cultural Center.”

In 2019, the Italian Festival of Arizona attracted more than 10,000 people, which sparked a vision to venture to a larger location, add more food and drink, entertainment and a professional event producer to grow the event and accommodate a larger crowd.

The 2020 Italian Festival of Arizona will feature all things Italian with two stages of entertainment, one being the Galbani Cooking Demonstration Stage presenting chef demonstrations, pizza-making and pasta-eating contests and more. The other stage will feature musical and cultural entertainment; schedules to be announced.

A variety of authentic Italian food vendors will feature pizza, pasta, sausage sandwiches, desserts and other Italian favorites all for purchase, along with beverage bars to accompany the great food.

Other festive elements to date include, for example, the A.S.T.A.-Gruppo Sbandieratori del Palio di Asti, traditional Italian flag wavers; interactive displays by fine Italian beermaker, Peroni Nastro Azzurro; wines; olive oils; a “museum” of Italian artwork and artists; an “Italian Auto d’Eleganza” showcasing a collection of fine Italian automobiles; a Kids PlayZone; and more.

Each restaurant will feature its dessert on their menu Feb. 1–28, with a portion of the proceeds from each dessert sold directly supporting Girl Scouting in Arizona. “ Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) is thrilled that both Rusconi’s American Kitchen and The Thumb are taking part again. They’ve been with us for all six years and are major supporters as a result,” says Susan de Queljoe , senior associate of marketing and communications. “It’s also so inspiring to see Original Gravity , PNPK , ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho , The Herb Box and Lovecraft taking part since they are all either proud woman-owned businesses or have female chefs in the kitchen.” First-time challengers this year include Babbo Italian Eatery , Jake’s Unlimited and The Phoenix Ale Brewery Central Kitchen . In year’s past, the Dessert Challenge Champion was decided by dessert sales. This year, the Council is hosting a poll at www.girlscoutsaz.org/dessertchallenge. But beyond conceptualizing, creating and offering the desserts on their menus, this year the chefs are also partnering with the Girl Scouts on several enhanced elements of the challenge. “Last year, we got the idea to have a few girls join us in the kitchen to see all the moving parts that goes into both running a restaurant and delivering food to the table,” says chef Lance Whipple of Proof at the Four Seasons Scottsdale Resort Troon North . “It was such a hit that we are hosting ‘Girl Scout Field Trips’ with some local troops this year to really get them excited about the art, math and science behind what we do. Maybe there are even a few future chefs in our mix!” Similarly, Aioli Gourmet Burgers , ZuZu, PNPK and others will bring girls behind the scenes this cookie season. And several partners are helping troops to set up formal boothing stations outside their venues, allowing our girls to sell cookies in what is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world: Girl Scout Cookie Season. All the chefs hope not only to raise funds to support local Girl Scouting, but also to inspire home cooks across Arizona to buy an extra box or two this season to create their own desserts. Girl Scout Cookie season runs through March 3 this year. Locations of cookie booths can be found online at www. girlscoutsaz.org/cookiefinder.
