Desert Parks village residents Sarah Plato and Stephenie Stone adorned trees in their cul-de-sac with homemade flowers in honor of their four-year old neighbor Ava Holder who lost her battle to cancer in June.
Residents embody true neighborly spirit
When times get tough, many DC Ranch residents depend on each other for more
than just childcare and house-sitting. Instead, they offer something much more valuable—moral support. Desert Parks village residents Sarah Plato, Stephenie
Stone, and Emily Thaler rallied around their neighbors through very trying family tragedies and embody what it means to be good neighbors. Each September, DC
Ranch celebrates this true spirit of community in honor of National Neighborhood

Unexpected journey leads to new family for Silverleaf couple
Pizzeria and wine bar to open in Canyon Village
When early retirement left a feeling of emptiness for Silverleaf resident Craig Juntunen, he opened his eyes to a world very different from his own. He and his wife Kathi made a service trip to Haiti, and ended up adopting three children from the impoverished nation. The experience inspired the creation of a foundation, memoir, and new documentary film. | Page 10
Local restaurateur Franco Dalu who operates Ciao Grazie in sister community of Verrado, will bring a second location to DC Ranch. The pizzeria and wine bar, which will offer Italian cuisine and specialty wines inspired by Dalu’s European roots, will open in Canyon Village in September. | Page 4

Residents of DC Ranch have extra peace of mind knowing the Community Patrol staff is always on the lookout for their safety. Even just the presence of security guards onsite can act as a deterrent to burglars or crime perpetrators. The staff is trained to be vigilant at all times and act as the eyes and ears of the community around the clock. Even so, being a good neighbor is still one of the most effective ways of preventing crime. It is a good idea get to know the neighbors on each side of your house. Invite them into your home, communicate often, and offer your interest in watching their house while they are away. Ultimately, attempt to establish a sincere trust. Residents should also fill out a vacation watch form so Community Patrol guards can keep an extra eye on their homes while away.

Changes made to Ranch Association collection policy
Desert Camp village resident Tom Grace (left), who has served as an NVM for 7 years, meets with Ranch Association Executive Director Andy Andrews on the upcoming NVM campaign. Meet your NVM candidates during Neighborhood Day at DC Ranch on Sept. 15, or represent your neighborhood by serving as an NVM.
Show your community pride as a Neighborhood Voting Member
The Ranch Association is kicking off the fall season by electing Neighborhood Voting Members (NVMs) for 43 neighborhoods in DC Ranch. NVMs are an integral part of the Ranch Association and serve as delegates for their respective neighborhoods, specifically they represent their neighborhood for board elections and other community matters requiring a vote of resident membership. NVMs are a group of well-informed residents who provide insight and feedback to the board by frequently communicating with fellow residents. In order to understand the important issues the community faces, an NVM plays an active role in DC Ranch by regularly attending board meetings, reading community communications, and serving as the vote carriers representing their neighborhood. As resident volunteers, NVMs are provided training from the Ranch Association to review their roles and responsibilities to ensure a successful program. The goal is to increase resident engagement in the program, as more involved residents can lead to a well-informed community. If you are interested in serving as an NVM for your neighborhood or know someone who would be excellent for this role, please contact Andy Andrews at 480.419.5308 or andy.andrews@dcranchinc.com.

In September, Franco Dalu will open a Ciao Grazie location at Canyon Village. This is the second location for the restaurant, which will serve authentic Italian cuisine and unique wines.
Valley Restaurateur brings Ciao Grazie Pizzeria Wine Bar to Canyon Village By Ruth Rosenquist | BLEND Marketing

When it came time to open a second Valley location for his popular Ciao Grazie concept, renowned restaurateur Franco Dalu knew DC Ranch was the right fit. “We’ve had a great experience with DMB since joining the line-up at Verrado in 2009,” according to chef and owner Dalu. “Our new location has all the ingredients for a good partnership, as we are already a family.” Set to open in mid- to late-September, Ciao Grazie’s inventive menu will draw on Dalu’s Italian heritage and European pedigree as a chef at the Ritz Carlton in Edinburgh, Scotland and the Grand Hotel Eden in Lugano, Switzerland. The focal point will be Dalu’s authentic Italian pizza, made to order from fresh ingredients with homemade mozzarella and tomato sauce, crispy-thin flavored pizza dough, topped with locally sourced ingredients, and cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Ciao Grazie’s menu will also showcase fresh variations of woodfired salmon, chicken, beef kabobs, paninis and more. Dalu looks forward to revealing the contemporary, urban space, complemented with antiques and a bar hewn from native rock. “Our vision was to create a modern environment that offers a comfortable and family-friendly ambience. We are especially proud of our expansive outdoor patio which has views of the neighboring McDowell Sonoran Preserve.” Topping off the experience, Franco has hand-selected a collection of red and white specialty wines, found only in small boutique wineries in Italy.

“I hope any woman can pick up the book and realize she is not alone in her experiences,” said Desert Camp village resident Nicole Zangara of her debut book “Surviving Female Friendships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.”
Resident’s book examines unique dynamics of female friendships By Krista Hinz | Community Council
It has been said “a good friend is hard to find,” and that is especially true for some women navigating their way through female friendships. Desert Camp village resident Nicole Zangara, a licensed clinical social worker who provides psychotherapy to people of all ages, was so struck by her personal experiences, that she began to write about them. As the collection of stories amassed, Zangara was inspired to write a book for women. It encourages them to take a deeper look at their female friendships and offers support for tough scenarios. Released in May by Chandler-based Brighton Publishing as an eBook, “Surviving Female Friendships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” includes an assortment of case studies and personal reflections that highlight why female friendships are difficult to create and maintain. “Regardless of age or status, developing relationships with other females can be challenging,” Zangara said. “Instead of focusing only on negative aspects, my goal for the book is to share collective stories that all women can relate to in a candid and humorous way.” In addition to compelling personal stories, the book covers insightful topics including complex friendship situations and friendships in an electronic world. According to Zangara, the Internet and
social media have a profound effect on friendship. “In some ways, the ability for women to connect is strengthened by technology,” said Zangara. “In other ways, it has created a unique dynamic that many women have yet to connect with or fully understand.” Publishing her book took some encouragement from one of Zangara’s female friends, who had written a book. Zangara credits this friend for giving her the push she needed. “Her support was a living example that proved to me the power of healthy and positive female friendships,” said Zangara. In addition, Zangara credits her publisher, Kathie McGuire, for bringing her dream of publishing a book to life. “I am incredibly grateful to Kathie for taking a chance on me,” she said. “The whole process of publishing a book is an amazing and exciting journey.” “Surviving Female Friendships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” is available for purchase online at Smashwords. com, Barnes&Noble.com and Amazon. com. It will be available in print in the fall. Zangara also has a blog dedicated to the book’s topic, as a way to open up a dialogue about the challenges of female friendships. It can be found at survivingfemalefriendships.blogspot.com.

September brings thoughts of cooler temperatures to the Sonoran Desert, which also means more activities in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy invites residents to enjoy new Preserve trails and upcoming September activities. Tom’s Thumb and the north side of the Preserve are now more accessible to hikers and nature enthusiasts. Construction of the Tom’s Thumb trailhead is essentially complete, with a public grand opening set for October. Work began on the project in 2011. The trailhead can be accessed off the intersection of 128th Street and Dynamite Boulevard and provides parking and restrooms. In December, the city of Scottsdale acquired more than 4,000 acres of land north of Dynamite Boulevard for the Preserve. The land features rolling topography, upper Sonoran Desert vegetation, and a number of large washes housing abundant wildlife. Due to its elevation and topography, this area offers opportunities to enjoy terrain, plants, and animals that are less visible in other parts of the Preserve. In honor of National Public Lands Day, the Conservancy will host a clean-up project near the new Tom’s Thumb trailhead on Sept. 29, at 8 a.m. Stewards and volunteers ages eight and up are invited to help prepare the new trailhead for the grand opening. Activities include removing plant tags, cleaning-up litter, and planting native vegetation. Later that evening, the Greater Pinnacle Peak Association will host the 16th Annual Cookout at the Ranch, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., at MacDonald’s Ranch. The Cookout supports the Desert Foothills Scenic Drive, the Preserve, Pinnacle Peak Park, and wildlife rehabilitation efforts. Learn more about McDowell Sonoran Conservancy activities by visiting mcdowellsonoran.org. The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy champions the sustainability of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve for the benefit of this and future generations. As stewards, we connect the community to the Preserve through education, research, advocacy, partnerships and safe, respectful access.

Chrisie was so touched she shared photos on Facebook thanking us for bringing some light to their lives in a very dark time.” Plato and Stone continued to rally around the Funari’s in support of Ava. With the great support of resident Karen Mahoney and the help of the Ranch Association and Community Council, the Funari’s neighbors commissioned a teak bench and stone plaque which now sits adjacent to the cul-de-sac where Ava used to play. “Future generations of residents and guests will see the bench and learn the story of a very brave little girl who lived in our community,” said Stone. “It didn’t matter that we didn’t know the Funari’s very well. We were going to help no matter what. It is the bond of being a mother and it was the right thing to do.”
“We live in an incredible place where your neighbors become like extended family.”

When Desert Parks village resident Sarah Plato moved to DC Ranch in 2008, her neighbor Stephenie Stone was the first person she met. Shortly after moving in, Plato was bedridden for nine months while she was pregnant with her second child Ryan, now three years old. “Even though I was not in the neighborhood long, I was grateful to have met Steph,” said Plato. “I was in need of a tremendous amount of support. She was there for me since day one and she still is every day.” Over the years, Plato and Stone became close friends and bonded over motherhood. Stone who has two boys ages eight and ten, is equally thankful to have found a friend in a neighbor. “Sarah and I can depend on each other from everything from recipes, to watching the kids, to just lending an ear,” said Stone. A few months before the Plato’s came to DC Ranch, Chrisie Holder-Funari and her husband, Nick, moved to DC Ranch in need of that kind of support. Chrisie’s 3-year-old daughter, Ava, was being treated for Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a cancer that caused malignant tumors in her brain. Diagnosed at just 18 months old, Ava received treatment throughout her young life. Her father, Mike Holder, was also there for her every step of the way. Ava succumbed to the cancer in May, just two months before her fifth birthday. “Through the very emotionally draining experience, Chrisie always took the time to say ‘hello’ even when they were off to a doctor appointment for Ava,” said Plato. “We wanted to do something for them. As mothers, we would want the same if something like this happened to our children.” Another neighbor, Dionne Guajardo, put her creative skills to work and made more than 30 hand-crafted pink flowers and floral wreathes that Plato and Stone helped place in neighborhood trees. Several surrounded the Funari’s home. “The idea was to surprise them with the flowers and wreaths,” said Plato. “But they drove up as we

“You can get to know your neighbors very well,” said Desert Parks village resident Emily Thaler who coordinated a donation drive for neighbors who lost everything in a house fire. “We’ve debated moving to a larger home, but I can’t leave because I love DC Ranch so much.”
Displaced family finds home away from home Another Desert Parks village mother was also inspired by that bond of community. Emily Thaler was on her way home with her husband and two daughters when she received an urgent phone call. “My neighbor informed me there was a house on fire on our street, and she thought it was mine,” said Thaler. “I drove home in a panic incredibly worried about our home, belongings, and the family dog, Enzo.” It was actually a neighbor’s home three doors down that caught fire which was likely caused by the air conditioning unit. The house was unsalvageable leaving Thaler’s neighbors — who wish to be unidentified — and their two young daughters homeless. Thaler’s neighbor was home at the time of the fire and helped save the family’s cars. Thaler had a background in social work, with a passion for helping others. Within 24-hours, she put out a call to action across DC Ranch seeking donations to assist the family. In just a few days, donations and gift baskets covered Thaler’s kitchen table with toys and school clothes for the girls. “In our community you can trust your neighbors to watch out for you,” she said. “If it were my house, I know my neighbors would have done the same for my family.” After an experience like a fire, most people would not want to come back to the same place. However, Thaler believes that because of the strong support of residents, the family has decided to remain in DC Ranch. The family is renting a furnished home down the street that is until theirs is rebuilt. “They are a strong family,” Thaler said. “Through losing their home, the family saw how much this community cares about others in a very genuine way.” Residents are invited to come together to celebrate the spirit of community during Neighborhood Day at DC Ranch on Sept. 15.

Imagine growing up as an orphan in one of the poorest countries in the world, then having to wait years to find a family who could adopt you. Stories like this are the focus of the new documentary film appropriately named, “Stuck.” It follows four children on their individual voyages from orphanages in their native countries to homes with families in the United States. Much of the inspiration behind the film comes from Silverleaf resident Craig Juntunen’s memoir, “Both Ends Burning: My Story of Adopting Three Children from Haiti.” It recounts his unexpected journey that eventually developed into a close-knit family. Few could complain about the chance to sell a successful company and retire at age 40. But for Juntunen, living the good life quickly turned into a sense of emptiness. “The notion that there has to be more to life than playing golf everyday abruptly introduced itself one day,” he said. “I would say I was chronically empty and wanted more reason and purpose in my life.” That sense of purpose came when a friend told Juntunen and his wife, Kathi, about an experience adopting two children from the poverty-stricken country of Haiti. “Haiti represented the polar opposite of the lifestyle I was living,” said Juntunen. “I wanted to see and experience the poorest country in the western hemisphere.” Craig and Kathi not only made a trip to Haiti, they eventually adopted three Haitian children, Espie, Amelec, and Quinn. Juntunen’s book documented this life-changing turn of events and readers hailed the memoir. It captures the beauty and fulfillment of being a parent and the joy that children bring. This overwhelming response led Juntunen to establish the adoption advocacy organization, Both Ends Burning, which produced the film, “Stuck.” Filmmaker Thaddaeus Scheel profiles children from Vietnam, Haiti, and Ethiopia who are all seeking adoption. “Stuck” also focuses on the three couples seeking to be their parents, revealing along the way the intense hope and disappointment of bringing the children to the United States. Some stories in “Stuck” are heartwarming, showing incredible examples of kids who blossom after joining their families. But the film also shows the emotional and physical impact the children endure while growing up in such great poverty. “The kids stuck in orphanages need a voice. We want to create and grow that voice,” said Juntunen. “We believe that by exposing this issue we will be able to form a movement that will provoke real change.” The film is set to premiere nationwide in November. Juntunen and the DC Ranch Film Club are hosting a screening of “Stuck” for the community on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 5:30 to 8:30p.m., at Scottsdale Harkins and 101. This event is complementary but any donations to Both Ends Burning’s service mission would be much appreciated. Organizers will accept donations at the screening or you can visit bothendsburning.org.
