Signs, signs everywhere signs! BY TARA ALATORRE
NEW RIVER – If you live in New River you may have noticed the newest additions to the neighborhood near the Roadrunner and Shell gas station – that’s right we’re talking about the “NO STOPPING, STANDING, PARKING ANY TIME” signs that were recently installed in March. It didn’t take long for residents to notice the six signs the Maricopa County of Department of Transportation (MCDOT) installed along the Interstate 17 Frontage and New River roads on March 5. Nor, did it take long for people
to realize that they would no longer be able to conveniently make roadside purchases of honey, ammunition, cow hide, furniture, cars and cacti from local vendors typically available at the bustling rural intersection. Posts on social media started popping up just as suddenly as the signs had appeared by residents of New River, Anthem and Desert Hills. Many claiming the signs were an affront to their rural way of life, while others expressed disappointment that their roadside vendors had gotten the boot. “The reason the signs are hated is because it is another
thing that the residents did not ask for and didn’t expect,” David Thompson stated in an email to The Foothills Focus, who is a New River resident outspokenly opposed to the signs and is involved with incorporation efforts. “When you drive down the road and about every 20 feet you see one of those signs, it’s offensive.” But the biggest question residents had wasn’t who installed the signs, it was finding out who was to blame. “They may be needed,

Legacy Sports Arena breaks ground in Life jacket exchange events kick off Safe Boating Week North Phoenix, features indoor ice rinks PHOENIX — Safe Boating Week is on the horizon and the Arizona Game and Fish Department will kick off the national campaign locally with multiple life jacket exchange events at area lakes Saturday, May 18. Now in its 11th year, the Life Jacket Exchange program allows people with an old, worn out life jacket to swap it for a new one (while supplies last). Last year, the department’s Boating Safety Education program exchanged 1,520 of the life-saving jackets. “Life jackets save lives, but only if they’re still in good operating condition,” said Josh Hoffman, AZGFD’s boating safety education coordinator.
“Like anything else, life jackets wear out with time and these exchange events are an amazing opportunity for Arizona’s boaters and paddlers to ensure they have a life jacket that not only fits correctly, but is in great condition.” The events run from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 18 at seven locations throughout the state: •
Bartlett Lake at the Jojoba Ramp
•
Bullhead City at Fire Station #2-1230 Hwy 95

Arcosanti: Grand experiment in sustainable living approaches its 50th year organic waste and feed it to the chickens who roamed the campus. But they often ended up disappointed. The neighbor’s bucket of compost usually was nearly empty. Even the avocado peels that were there had been scraped clean. Few scraps were left for the birds. That frugality was hallmark of Hoadley’s neighbor, Soleri himself.
Man with a vision
Tim Bell, director of communications, said Arcosant’s population fluctuates depending on the season, but the permanent population is about 75 people. (Photo by Meg Potter/Cronkite News) BY LAUREN SCHIELER CRONKITE NEWS
ARCOSANTI – At the end of a 2-mile dirt road in the Arizona desert lives a community of people longing to be a part of something bigger than themselves. For nearly 50 years, Arcosanti has drawn innovators who wish to leave city life behind and experiment with an alternative, more sustainable lifestyle. Some stay for a few months; some never leave. One who never left is Mary Hoadley. She was 25 when she dropped out of graduate school in 1970, just as the project – the brainchild of architect and urban planner Paolo Soleri – was breaking ground. She was unsure what she wanted to do
with her life. It was her love for architecture that attracted her to help develop Arcosanti. She planned to stay a few weeks, but the weeks turned into months and the months into years. Now 75, Hoadley has devoted most of her life to Arcosanti. I got captivated by the idea of going off into the desert to build a prototype alternative to sprawl,” Hoadley said. “It was as appealing 50 years ago as it is today, and as needed.” Over the past half century, Hoadley has been among a revolving cast of residents in making simple life changes to reduce their carbon footprint. In Arcosanti’s early years, Hoadley recalled, she tried to persuade a neighbor to compost. She planned to collect the
The idea of creating a community where sustainable living was an everyday experience was only the beginning for Soleri, who was born and trained in Italy. Jeff Stein, a former resident who was one of Arcosanti’s co-presidents and now serves as the president of the Cosanti Foundation, said Soleri recognized that the consumption Americans embraced would not be healthy for the planet. Soleri also realized that to criticize a particular lifestyle, he needed to provide a better alternative. “The problem I am confronting is the present design of cities only a few stories high, stretching outward in unwieldy sprawl for miles,” Soleri said in 1977. “As a result, they literally transform the earth, turn farms into parking lots, wasting enormous amounts of time and energy transporting people, goods, and services over their expanses. My solution is urban implosion rather than explosion.” The revolutionary urban laboratory he created stands as a near 50-year experiment today in the rocky desert 65 miles north of Phoenix. Soleri attracted people of all walks of life to help cultivate his urban ideas based on the concept of arcology, which merges architecture with ecology. In time, Arcosanti was supposed to accommodate up to 5,000 people. The land for Arcosanti was bought with a loan. Money for the project was an issue
from the beginning, said Tim Bell, director of communications at Arcosanti. “In the early days of construction, it was entirely volunteer labor out here,” Bell said. Hoadley said Soleri “was definitely a kind of arrogant narcissist, but to work alongside him was a big lesson on how to do as much as you can with little things you had at hand.” Stein said working on the project put you “in the thick of things.” “There were journalists and filmmakers and broadcasters and architects and people with ideas from all over the world there on a weekly basis,” he said. Stein was taking a break from architecture school in the 1970s when he stumbled upon the book that made Soleri famous, “Arcology: The City in the Image of Man.” “I called the Cosanti Foundation (created to support the development of Arcosanti) and talked to Paolo Soleri’s wife, who said they had this workshop program at Arcosanti if I was
interested,” Stein recalled. “It turned out I was.” Stein arrived in 1976 and stayed seven years. Soleri’s idea for Arcosanti was not outlandish for its time, he said. “All sorts of fantastic things were happening,” Stein said. “The end of the Vietnam War, the landing of a man on the moon, for heaven’s sake. The first Earth Day was 1970. It was a time when we thought that anything was possible. To reconfigure the entirety of Earth’s urban civilization in a way that might make sense seemed natural.” Stein became a co-president in 2011, after Soleri resigned at age 91. “Soleri thought if we could be better humans than we were, then we are going to need an architecture that supports that, and that’s what Arcosanti started to become,” Stein said. Soleri began cultivating an

How was your Mother’s Day? The “Big Day” is usually a joyful celebration for reflection and acknowledgement of the moms we love. The thought of so many caring adults and children scurrying around kitchens, cooking up breakfasts, doing extra chores, delivering bouquets of flowers, giving cards of appreciation, making long distance phone calls, and saying “thanks” in a million little ways is sweet music to all mothers’ ears. It’s good to remember Mom! Mothers gave us our roots. They knew us before we knew ourselves. Their memories of us go far and beyond what we can conjure up. They were another generation, perhaps a whole other era, but remain relevant in a timeless fashion throughout our lives. There is always something
to learn about (and from) our mothers. Some moms just can’t stop teaching. My mother is gone now. So this was my first Mother’s Day without her and a rather sad affair. I’ve been looking through the little cookbook she wrote, pages crinkled at the edges, food stains splattered on a few favorite recipes. Her cooking was inspiring, but so was her life. I settled on a cherry tart. Scrawled on the page in my handwriting is, “love this.” Yes, I do. Moms taught us more lessons than we can ever remember, and if we’re lucky we’ll take the most valuable ones and pass them on. A man emailed me that his mother never held a job outside of the home, but adopted three children, and gave everyone the “foundation to be a good, decent, productive human being.” It has been said that, “there is no love like a mother’s love.” Why is this? Perhaps because moms gave us the tools to withstand all manner of challenges, the capacity to grow into our unique selves. And the safe harbor of unconditional love that is the rarest gift of all. Mothers cannot be placed in a singular mold. A woman told me her mother
wasn’t exactly June Cleaver. “She drank hard liquor, smoked too much, never cooked, swore often, had a Harley, liked to gamble and was also very loving.” What’s the legacy here? The woman says her mom believed in the “freedom to be yourself,” and was generous to everyone. Sounds pretty fantastic. This is what moms of all ages seem to specialize in – handing us blueprints or recipes to use in our lives. The kitchen is only one small part of the “cooking class” that takes place when we consider the enormous influence our mothers have on our lives. What lessons have you learned? When’s the last time you loved unconditionally? Do you believe in the power to be yourself ? If you have a loving memory to share about your mom, be sure to write it down and pass it along. Your kids and grandkids will appreciate it. On Mother’s Day, I found myself making a “big Sunday dinner” just like my mother used to do. Family, love, delicious food, plus a cherry tart turnout out to be the recipe for a perfect day. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local realtor. Have a comment or a story?

AZGFD warns of possible rabies exposure as temperatures warm attract wild animals.
PHOENIX — Spring has sprung, temperatures are trending upward and people and pets are on the move outdoors — that means potential exposure to rabies will be on the increase. The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) reminds the public to protect themselves and their pets by keeping a safe distance from wildlife, especially animals that may be behaving abnormally, such as those that appear overly aggressive and/or lacking a fear of humans. “The weather is warming up nicely and people are outside,” said Anne Justice-Allen, AZGFD wildlife veterinarian. “At this time of year, we often see an uptick in the number of wildlife submitted for rabies testing as a result of contact with people or their pets.” Rabies is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The rabies virus attacks the central nervous system, causing encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. Pets such as dogs and cats, as well as livestock such as horses, should be vaccinated regularly against rabies. In addition, dogs should be on leashes when outdoors and a veterinarian consulted if any domestic animals are injured by wildlife. Unvaccinated animals exposed to wildlife with rabies must undergo a four-month quarantine and vaccinated animals need to be quarantined for 45 days. Rabies can be prevented in persons who have come into contact or have been bitten by wild animals through prompt
administration of anti-rabies vaccine and rabies immune globulin. “In Arizona, the principal rabies hosts are bats, skunks and foxes,” Justice-Allen said. “These animals carry their own distinct strains of the rabies virus. When rabies activity within these animal groups increases, rabies can impact other mammals, such as bobcats, coyotes, javelina, cats, dogs, horses or cows.” Often infected animals may appear disoriented or intoxicated, salivate heavily or appear thirsty. The Arizona Department of Health Services recommends the following precautions to avoid exposure to rabies: •
Keep people and pets away from wild animals.
•
Never leave pet food in your yard because it will
•
Do not pick up, touch, or feed wild or unfamiliar animals, especially sick or wounded ones.
•
If you have been bitten or scratched, or had contact with an animal, wash the wound or area well with soap and water, and report it immediately to animal control or health officials.
•
Do not "rescue" abandoned young wild animals. Leave wildlife alone.
•
Take precautions when camping, hunting or fishing. Avoid sleeping on the open ground without the protection of a closed tent or camper.
•
Wear impermeable gloves when skinning carcasses.
•
Do not disturb roosting bats.
•
If you find a bat on the ground, don't touch it. Place a box over the bat to contain it. Try to preserve the bat so it is intact for testing at a laboratory. Report the bat and its location to animal control or health officials.
•
Report all animal bites to animal control or health officials.

movie review POKÉMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU Director: Rob Letterman Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Chris Geere, Bill Nighy, and Ken Watanabe Monte’s Rating 2.00 out of 5.00
BY MONTE YAZZIE FILM CRITIC
Remember the 1988 film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” which paired a down-on-hisluck gumshoe and an anxious animated rabbit named Roger? At the time of the release, this was a cutting-edge combination of movie magic. Placing real actors with animated characters and bringing the animation studio giants together where Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse could share the same frame, and Donald Duck and Daffy Duck could perform skydive hijinks. But one element that is often

overlooked is that the film pieces together a nice homage to the detective tales and film noir styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Adding a mature element to the world of cartoons. “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” takes much of its influence from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” bringing the iconic Japanese “Pocket Monsters” together for their own brand recognition , which is mostly fan service framed within a flimsy neo-noir detective story. Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) lives in a world where Pokémon
and humans live peacefully with one another, some becoming connected enough to create an inseparable bond. When Tim’s father Harry goes mysteriously missing, Tim returns to Ryme City to investigate his disappearance. Helping Tim with his search is Harry’s Pokémon, Detective Pikachu, who has suffered amnesia after an accident. The two encounter more sinister plans involving the Pokémon, leading them to a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse. The cute star of the film is
and that they are the right size and fit for passengers. When inspecting life jackets, look for any rips or tears, missing straps, broken fasteners, and to ensure that the flotation hasn’t shifted. Life jackets should be inspected each boating season due to the environment’s impact on their materials. State law requires all passengers 12 years old and younger to wear a life jacket while on board and each passenger must have a properly fitting, U.S. Coast Guardapproved life jacket available. May 18 is also the start of National Safe Boating Week, an effort to spread the message that wearing a life jacket is the simplest way to ensure an individual’s safety on the water. Drowning was the reported
cause of death in four out of every five recreational boating fatalities in 2017, according to the U.S. Coast Guard’s most readily available statistics. In the 449 water-related deaths that year, 370 people — approximately 84.5 percent — were not wearing a life jacket. Those statistics are reflected in Arizona: There were eleven recreational boating fatalities in the state last year and sadly, we’ve already had our first fatality of 2019 that involved a kayaker that was not wearing a life jacket. These deaths are preventable. “Through this program, the Arizona Game and Fish Department hopes to prevent boating tragedies and help to ensure everyone is safely enjoying Arizona’s waterways,”
Detective Pikachu , who is voiced by Ryan Reynolds. For those unfamiliar with this character, Pikachu is a small yellow critter who conjures electricity as a defense mechanism. Reynolds is a good choice to voice this character, his charm and quick wit provide the tiny animated character with cuteness that distracts from some of the issues with the story. Smith, who had a nice turn in the Netflix series “The Get Down,” tries to keep up with the disorganized plot but his character seems lost amidst everything happening. It’s unfortunate because at the core of this story is a relationship, the bond between a boy and his pet. As the film develops, when it’s not random action scenes or detective story clichés, Pikachu and Tim have a nice chemistry. It offers some minor moments where you can see Tim regain his love for his childhood that ended too early.
Amongst the many forms the franchise brand has taken in multimedia avenues, the film is based on the video game and the pacing of the story resembles the structure of those video games. One clue leads to a mission which leads to another adventure. The story moments don’t tie together so well when this logic is translated to the cinema, but there are enough fan moments to distract from this absence of plot structure. “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” never completely commits to the mystery story it’s trying to tell, it seems more concerned with offering fun moments and fan appreciation. You don’t have to be a fan of the Pokémon to find the easy going fun trying to be had here, but if you do like those “Pocket Monsters” it may be easier to overlook the glaring issues with this detective yarn.

environment that prioritized sustainable living and social interaction, but Arcosanti residents weren’t completely disconnected from the conveniences of modern-day living. “People in Arcosanti own cars,” Stein said. “I owned a car. I owned a motorcycle. I almost never used them because all of the work was right there. I could walk to a cafe. I could walk to a foundry. I was connected to a greenhouse. I didn’t have a heating system in my apartment. Instead I had a solar greenhouse so I could go out and pick food for my lunch.” Hoadley puts it this way: “For Soleri, he always had this strong sense in equity and justice, that whatever you do, all human beings should have access to that same benefit.”

Today, a cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at Arcosanti. There are a dozen rooms for overnight guests, a place that can be rented through Airbnb and a venue that serves as a place for concerts and weddings. Arcosanti also has its own IT department that oversees a website, a Wi-Fi network, a guest-services department and people who work in graphic design and tourism.
A place to find purpose Over the years, Stein said, about 8,000 people have participated in workshops, internships and residency programs. And thousands of visitors from all over the globe have stopped to explore Soleri’s grand experiment. For the nearly 80 residents who live here, though, Arcosanti is their home. Madeline Visser, 30, was working in Salt Lake City when a friend told her about Arcosanti.

“Everyone has a different background of how they end up here,” she said. “Most people come because they’re architect students. I’m not an architect. I didn’t think that I would have a place here.” When Visser tried a workshop, she worked in the cafe to pay for tuition. After a few months, she had fallen in love with the community and decided to stay. For the past six months, Visser has made clay bells in the ceramics department. “I never pictured myself living in Arizona with the open desert, but the sense of community that happens here is very beautiful,” Visser said. “I just found a lot of potential in myself here. There’s such a wealth of knowledge here too. There are so many well-educated people here, you can learn so many different crafts and skills.” The experience and sense of community has given Visser a new outlook on life. “When I was in the city, I never wanted to be home alone,” she said. “I’d always want to be going out. Here, I’m more mindful of what my intentions are for that day.” Visser said she plans to stay for another year or two, but whenever she leaves, she’s grateful she’ll always be able to call Arcosanti home. “It’s what pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I’m ready to keep chasing that feeling.”
For Stein, Arcosanti was also more than just a temporary workshop. “It was what I thought college ought to be like,” Stein said. “We were learning on the job.” Outside of work, he said, living on-site was incredible. “My apartment was in the back wall of a theater,” Stein said. “I could go out my front door and be in the midst of culture. I could go out my back door and be in the untouched desert.” He eventually left to finish architecture school and went on to become an architect, professor and architect critic for a Boston newspaper. Bell, Arcosanti’s communications director, was living in Queens, New York, trying to become an actor, but when his father’s health started to decline, he moved to Arizona to help with his care. Bell heard about Arcosanti from a bartender, and after exploring the place for himself, he opened his mind to an alternative to living in a city. “I didn’t know that I was looking for an alternative, but when I came to experience it, I knew this was a really special place and I needed to find a way to live here,” said Bell, who has lived at Arcosanti for a year and a half.
The pushback The Arcosanti experiment has received its fair share of criticism from architects and visitors.
Mark English who owns an architecture firm in San Francisco, visited Arcosanti for the first time last spring. He had wanted to explore the community since his friends in college raved about serving internships at Arcosanti in the mid-1980s, but the project was “shockingly disappointing.” “When I pulled up, I thought, ‘What a sad place,” English said. English said his expectations were built on glowing descriptions of Arcosanti in books he had read and his friends’ enthusiasm, but he noticed flaws within minutes of exploring the property. The first was the sound of a hidden airconditioning unit and the lack of natural shading in the design. “Here in the middle of the desert we have a building that has no shade structures on any facade,” English said. “It’s basic structure is such that it has to be air-conditioned. In its very form, it’s wrong. It’s falling apart. It’s irredeemable.” English said Soleri failed to pay attention to working with the desert environment and instead made an architectural object statement rather than a revolutionary town. Out of necessity, he said, buildings must respond to the environment they’re in. “Cultures that don’t have excessive amounts of wealth and energy to waste can’t make those mistakes, but he could.”

is the main reason people leave,” Bell said. “At the end of the day, it’s the same 70 people who live here.”

“If everyone on the planet lived in the same way we live in the developed Western world right now, we’d need three and a half globes to sustain our current global population,” says Tim Bell, director of communications at Arcosanti. (Photo by Meg Potter/Cronkite News)
Yes, the models of the overall project are fantastic, English said, but the execution was not funded properly or properly articulated. “I looked so hard to find anything that would convince me that it was a worthwhile experiment,” English said. “I couldn’t find anything.” However, the project could have had potential, he said. “It’s a very sexy idea to create a new society in the middle of a desert,” English said, but Soleri’s vision was faulty from the beginning. “It was an expression of one of those outlandish fantasies from a middle-aged white male about being a hero,” English said. “The laboratory could have been an expression of how to build in a harsh environment in a way that used very little energy.” Arcosanti residents recognize the project is an experiment. “I don’t think Soleri would have ever argued that it was the be all, end all of ideas,” Bell said. But for many, despite the challenges, they were proud to be a part of a possible solution. “The process was what was satisfying, so even if you don’t get to the end goal, it’s the process that’s really important,” Hoadley said. ‘Soleri didn’t feel a shrink to criticize unless he could offer something different.”
Challenges in the desert Soleri believed in the work he was doing, but his project was not easy and progressed slowly. “When he was still around,” said Hoadley, his former neighbor, “Soleri would sometimes say if he knew it was going to be such a slug and slowgoing project, he didn’t know if he would’ve started.” Hoadley also wishes her generation had done more. “I’m kind of disappointed in my generation,” Hoadley said. The generation that’s slowly taking over the project also have noticed a few bumps along the path. “We don’t have the permits to do the things we’ve done in the past,” Visser said. “Most of the construction was done within the first 10 years of being built, but I feel like the past 20
years has been a bit stagnant. It requires a lot of money to keep this project going.” For example, paving the 2-mile dirt road to the site is a multimillion dollar project. Visser also said Arcosanti took a hit after the most recent recession. “It’s been quite stagnant,” she said. “There’s not as many people are coming through, not as much is happening, and people are comfortable with how it’s been.” Another problem, Bell said, is that many residents leave because they can’t earn working for the nonprofit to fund a retirement account. And though some residents view the sense of community as a strength, this can also be a challenge. “The size of the community

As Soleri was battling the challenges that came with a project of this scale, he was dealing with personal failures. In 2017, Soleri’s daughter Daniela Soleri released an open letter titled “Sexual abuse: It’s you, him and his work” in which she leveled assault allegations against her father. “In my early adolescence, my father, an architect and craftsman, began sexually molesting me, eventually attempting rape when I was 17,” she wrote. Hoadley, who worked alongside Soleri for years before his death in 2013, believes his personal life and architectural achievements must be viewed separately. “He was not a good father to his daughter,” she said. “To me, he was a human being. He was narcissistic. A lot of very genius people don’t recognize the normal boundaries of social behavior. You have to separate the two. We’re all human. We all have flaws.” Soleri also struggled with selfconfidence, Stein said. “He was a self-deprecating
page 11
guy,” Stein said. “He thought that the work he was doing was extremely important, but he himself not so much.” In her letter, Daniela Soleri said the value of his accomplishments is diminished by his behavior. “I have tested myself over the last years, looking hard at Soleri’s artistic and architectural work,” she wrote. “Most does not seem to me to be compromised by his worst behaviors.” Soleri was 93 when he died April 9, 2013, at his home in Paradise Valley. Many wondered whether the death of the man would mean the death of the vision, but Arcosanti residents knew there was still work to be done. “After Soleri passed, there was still a commitment to carrying on,” Hoadley said. “The place has an incredible sense of community.” Bell said four longtime residents took up executive positions to take control of the site when Soleri died. “That co-president system worked well as an interim system, but it was never a model for growth,” Bell said. Last year, the board of directors hired a CEO to help.

NEW RIVER SIGNS continued from page 1
but they weren’t wanted,” Thompson said. “I am sure there were reasons, but the residents were not included in the explanation nor was their input requested. The darn signs just appeared one day.” Photoshopped images circulated making the signs appear to say, “Brought to you by New River Desert Hills Community Association,” underneath the no parking signs. While others pointed fingers at the New River Desert Hills Incorporation Committee. However, neither group took responsibility for requesting the signs, and the issue quickly became an arguing point for why gaining local control through incorporation was a good or bad idea. Then it was revealed through social media posts by members of the New River Desert Hills Community Association (NRDHCA) that NRDHCA President, Ed Taylor, was involved in requesting the traffic study. But the information was conflicting on whether he was acting as a private citizen or as the president of NRDHCA. The Foothills Focus obtained public records from Maricopa County to get the facts regarding the traffic study and here is what we know. The signs in question were installed by MCDOT after a phone complaint was submitted to county ombudsman, Bill Leal, on January 23. The complaint instigated the department to launch a parking problem study regarding safety issues
due to roadside vendors, according to public records obtained by The Focus. “Says there are vehicles for sell [sic] that are causing safety concerns with vehicles stopping to look at the sale vehicles and are parking too close to the edge of the road,” stated the complaint description on the study order submitted by MCDOT. Emails retrieved confirm that MCDOT’s Chief Inspector of Permits, Paul Cook, arrived at the intersection on the morning of January 23, at the request of Leal to begin looking into the validity of the complaint. Cook confirmed that there were vehicles for sale across the street from the Roadrunner, including an unregistered motor home. Also, an ammunition vendor was seen at on the westbound shoulder east of the Shell gas station, according to the emails. “Neither site was posted for no parking so MCSO cannot enforce until there are no parking signs,” Cook stated in his email to Leal after visiting the intersection on January 23. “I am sure there will be others that show up if the area is not posted.” Email records show that on January 29, MCDOT employee John Counts conducted a field check, took pictures and determined that the intersection of the I-17 Frontage and New River roads met the criteria for the signs. By January 30, a layout had been drawn of the no parking area to be enforced along with more pictures showing vehicles for sale on the roadside. “MCDOT studied the road

The Foothills Focus and based on consistent findings, cars were parking close to the road, causing a safety concern,” stated Rainey Holloway, a MCDOT Branch Manager. By February 13, MCDOT had approved the signs and on February 21, the department had sent in a work order to fabricate the signs at a shop. On March 5, MCDOT installed the six signs, according to the study order. MCDOT would not identify the person or organization that originally sent in the complaint on January 23. “We encourage the public (individuals, businesses and neighborhood groups) to contact us with questions, concerns and feedback regarding our roads and right of way lands,” Holloway stated in an email to The Focus on April 23. However, the signs were not officially approved by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors until March 27. On that agenda is an item for the new traffic controls [signs] on New River Road, which states that the study was conducted at the request of NRDHCA. Here is why that matters. In the social media storm that followed the installation of the signs many fingers were pointed at NRDHCA being the organization responsible for requesting the study, and subsequently the installation of the signs. NRDHCA denied the allegations. “It was an assumption by Bill Leal,” stated Ed Taylor, the president of NRDHCA. “No NRDHCA Board action requested a traffic study.” MCDOT, would not confirm or deny if the request was sent by Taylor as a citizen or as the NRDHCA president, saying they did not want to be “disrespectful,” or “call anyone out,” while noting that MCDOT never revealed the identity of the requester in the first place. “MCDOT certainly did not mean to cause confusion regarding who had the safety concern,” said Holloway in an email on May 10. “If we assumed incorrectly that the request was coming from the association, but it was instead a personal inquiry we apologize.” Holloway did say that Taylor

signed all his emails regarding the signs to MCDOT as the president of NRDHCA, and there are emails going back months with that signature. “If, in communicating with MCDOT, Ed did it over an NRDHCA signature block, then that was a mistake,” stated Neil Rifenbark the director of NRDHCA. “That mistake lead both MCDOT and Julie Elliott [NRDHCA member] to conclude that the request came from the NRDHCA Board. It did not.” Holloway also told The Focus that Alan Mueller, who was a past president and is a current, active member of the NRDHCA was copied in the emails regarding the request for the New River traffic study. Despite the information, NRDHCA affirms that the traffic signs were not its doing, and the Board of Supervisors’ agenda was inaccurate in listing NRDHCA as the requester of the study. “After I personally experienced a child running in front of my truck while her parents looked at a car for sale, I called my Ombudsman and asked him to look into the situation,” Taylor explains how he originated the request. “I contacted the county as a resident, not with any knowledge or direction from NRDHCA.” But Thompson says he has good reasons to believe it was NRDHCA who requested the signs, and he suspects they backpedaled once the association realized the community was upset about it.
“What was very indicative to me was that Ed specifically discussed vendors and cars for sale at one of the NRDHCA meetings and stated he was going to see what could be done about it,” Thompson said. NRDHCA does not publish agendas or keep minutes of its meetings so it could not be confirmed if NRDHCA had discussed requesting the no parking signs prior to January 2019. “I don't think it makes any difference who or how the request was initiated,” Taylor stated in an email to The Focus on May 11, when responding to why NRDHCA was listed as the requester of the traffic study on the board's agenda. “The real issue is that the road is now less congested and safer for residents that use the road. I personally think there are more newsworthy issues to address in your publication.” Regardless, the community won’t be parking on the issue anymore as residents have received its new sign to move on to bigger and brighter things – opposing the New River Shell gas station’s request to raise its illuminated sign 20-feet taller. If you would like to report a MCDOT roadway hazard such as potholes, damaged traffic signs, malfunctioning traffic signals, street flood or other roadway hazards call 602-506-6063. If you would like more information about the variance requested for the New River Shell gas station sign contact Jaclyn Sarnowski at 602-506-8150 or email Jaclyn.sarnowski@maricopa.gov.

Local 'Startist' takes on graduating high school and launching a business as winner of Young Entrepreneurs Academy
BY SHEA STANFIELD ARTS COLUMNIST
PHOENIX - Local emerging artist and business entrepreneur Justin Debell is ready to blaze new trails in creativity, partnerships and the arts. Creativity has been a part of Justin's family since the beginning of his awareness. His grandmother was a writer and his mother a painter, and he can't remember a time when he wasn't drawing. A native of Phoenix, he is attended school at Park Meadows Camelveiw and Madison Park in the downtown area, finally landing at Camelback High School for the last four years. All the while Justin has continued to draw and paint following his own beat of the drum when it comes to technique and style. He works as an administrative
assistant for Susan Gilman, an adjunct ASU Law professor. This opportunity came through the DECA Chapter at Camelback High School during his senior year. "She is an amazingly talented attorney and has been a wonderful mentor helping me with my artistic ventures," Justin said. He is deeply appreciative of the opportunities he has been able to take advantage of over this past year working with Ms. Gilman. "I come from a low-income family, my parents really struggled as they managed to make a small two-bedroom apartment a home for my brother and I," he said. His goal is to have his own studio and space to expand his creativity onto larger canvases. He describes his inspiration as coming from random thoughts.
Apparently his "thoughts on canvas" are impressive enough to have build up a local client base with the help of Art One Gallery in Scottsdale (artonegalleryinc.com). Art One Gallery specializes in helping up and coming artists connect with an audience for their work. Over the years they have become an important partner for launching young talent into the Valley's arts scene. Justin credits them with his first big break. This ambitious artist will be graduating from Camelback High School on May 21. He plans to attend Arizona State University fall of 2019 with a full scholarship. The program he will follow will include the study of supply chain management and arts entrepreneurship. He has also been selected to join the Young Entrepreneurs Academy where he gained recognition, winning second place in pitching the newest business called "Startists Up," which will be in operation June 2019. Startists Up provides educational programs, business skills training and artistic opportunities for young artists launching their own entrepreneurial businesses. "Our goal is to guide our students toward self-sustaining business success while offering networking, mentoring and other opportunities," he said about the business model. Startists Up classes will be offered at The Create Academy, a K-5 public charter school located in Central Phoenix. The Create Academy is dedicated to arts integration, project-based learning and social justice. As if Justin is not busy enough before he graduates in May, he is completing his second mural at Camelback High School, working with two other students from the school's art club.

ARCOSANTI
continued from page 11
“There has kind of been this long understanding here that the site would be fine no matter what we would find a way to make it work,” Bell said.
Decades of lessons After nearly 50 years of living on-site, Hoadley doesn’t regret her decision to be part of Arcosanti. “Suburbia is essentially just a big hermitage where everybody’s in their four walls with their automobiles,” she said. “They don’t even interact even with their real environment let alone their landscape environment. They don’t really interact with their neighbors. There’s no integrated sense of community.” For newer residents, like Visser, Arcosanti has been a wealth of knowledge. “I don’t have the background to learn these things, but I can because I have a willingness to learn,” she said. “I can build myself a shelter if needed.” Visser said city life led her to surround herself with people exactly like herself, and Arcosanti forces her to get along with people from all walks of life who have all come together for the greater good. Residents said they don’t know whether Arcosanti is a good idea or if it’s working. But they’re certain the way the majority of Americans live cannot be sustained. “If everyone on the planet lived in the same way we live in the developed Western world right now, we’d need three and a half globes to sustain our current global population,” Bell said. After living in New York and Arcosanti, Bell has experienced a shift. “Even on a bad day here, it’s still a pretty good day for the most part,” Bell said. “For some people it’s actually really nice because they have really strong boundaries around their work, live life.” Bell said that there is a design flaw in the way that Americans build their environments. “We don’t encourage people to communicate and collaborate; we encourage them to consume and compete,” Bell said. “There is an unfortunate irony to the idea that as we’ve packed our populations more densely, we’ve actually become a lot more distant with one another.”
page 17
Paradoxically, Arcosanti – although practically in the middle of nowhere – has served as an escape from isolation and a place to become involved in a community. “The whole idea was to capture the attention and imagination of a generation to think about a different way for people to live on the planet in a way where all people have access to a healthy life instead of the wealthy few who get the penthouses and it’s on the backs of millions of the world’s population,” Hoadley said.
The next 50 years Despite the death of Soleri and the challenges Arcosanti has faced, residents aren’t worried about the project’s future. always looking to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Hoadley said. “I feel privileged and proud to have been part of this. After 50 years, these ideas which we’re trying to work on are very simple.” At the core of this idea is building communities that are vertical rather than sprawl out across the desert. Today, Arcosanti may not be sparking revolutionary change worldwide. But for residents, that’s not the mission. “Arcosanti really just wants to be a walk through demonstration that can inspire people to maybe make better choices,” Hoadley said. “We don’t know if this is a good or a bad idea.” Bell said. “We’re part of a larger web of conversation around what holistic planning or holistic living on the planet is going to look like going forward,” Bell said. The mission will continue and Arcosanti will stand as an example for an alternative lifestyle. “The mission has always been to explore the experiential benefits of combining architecture with ecology,” Bell said. “Explore the experiential and educational benefits of combining architecture and ecology. That’s why we call it an urban laboratory.” Cronkite News reporter Kelsey Mo contributed to this story. This story is part of Elemental: Covering Sustainability, a new multimedia collaboration between Cronkite News, Arizona PBS, KJZZ, KPCC, Rocky Mountain PBS and PBS SoCal.

Help! Bonded pair need a new foster ANTHEM – Anthem Pets needs a new foster for these two because their current foster will no longer be available. Meet Sassy and AG! Sassy is bonded with AG and they must be adopted or fostered together. Sassy is a spunky 1-year-old kitty. She is a small girl with the softest fur. She is energetic, very curious and holds her own when it comes to playing with her brother. Don’t leave a cabinet open or Sassy will be sitting in the cabinet looking innocent. She listens well while looking at you sweetly. She is very affectionate and loves to talk in a sweet little voice. This girl will melt your heart. AG loves to chase a laser pointer and to chase his sister down and tackle her. If you have fuzzy or Sherpa clothing he would love nothing more than to snuggle close while he purrs and kneads. He is very loving, at times very talkative, and usually listens when told “No” firmly. AG is a super sweet guy. They are up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and litter box trained. If you would like to meet Sassy and AG please complete an Anthem Pets Matchmaker of Campaign money mailer distribution approval mar/rest Application: https://form.jotform. com/41676646153157. 10,000 distribution to CC $279.00 each mailing (+tax) Approved x_______________________ Date ___ / ___ / ___ Or send an email to anthempets@ yahoo.com.
