A season for hope: We Care Anthem providing support for local children with serious illnesses ELIZABETH MEDORA STAFF

ANTHEM – Sometimes, what a child wants most for Christmas is just to be home for Christmas, instead of in the hospital. For the kids of We Care Anthem, life is all about making the most of every day and focusing on the good.

The We Care kids all are battling serious illnesses, but they aren’t letting being sick keep them down. Currently, We Care Anthem, a local nonprofit organization, is providing support for several local children and their families.

Gabe, Jojo, Aidan, and Landon face their illnesses with the backing of the We Care

community. To see more of their stories and provide donations or send cards, visit wecareanthem.com.

Gabe is a kind-hearted sixyear-old who loves music. He’s living with spastic diplegia

cerebral palsy, but he keeps smiling even when he’s in pain.

Gabe is in physical, speech, and occupational therapy. He requires treatments every few months to relieve the spasticity in his legs as his bones and muscles

grow. He’s been under anesthesia 14 times for procedures and had three major surgeries thus far.

Gabe can benefit from stem cell therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These procedures are not covered by insurance.

Jojo loves music, crafts, animals, cooking, and watching cooking shows, and when she grows up she wants to be a “doctor for kids, a mommy,

Wild West lives on in Cave Creek KENDAL O’CONNOR STAFF

CAVE CREEK – Although the history of Cave Creek can be traced back to 700 A.D. with the arrival of the Hohokam Native American tribe, it wasn’t until 1986 that Cave Creek was incorporated as a town.

In between that time frame, miners settled in the area in search of gold, Spur Cross and several other dude ranches were established, and the construction of the Barlett and Horseshoe dams slowly brought the small town of Cave Creek to life.

“When you have a history like that the town is very respectful of it,” Mayor Vincent Francia said.

“It’s a very unique community

in this day and age.”

Today you’ll find that the Wild West is still very much alive in the well-preserved community of Cave Creek, a town that spans 38 square miles, half of it

made up of conservation areas.

“We have this wonderful rural lifestyle here, we live in harmony with the desert,” Francia said. “We have a little over 5,000 citizens and probably that many horses.”

A Cave Creek resident since 1990, Francia served four years as a council member from 1995 to 1999 before becoming the first citizens-elected mayor in 1999.

Francia said that the rural lifestyle and beauty of the surrounding landscape Cave Creek has to offer are some of the main attractions of the area, and one of the reasons why so

Jubilate Music Program announcing spring classes CAREFREE – The Jubilate Music Program for children will offer spring semester violin, percussion, choir, and drama classes. The 17-week courses run from Jan. 18-May 2. All classes take place at the Christ Anglican Church in Carefree, 35500 N. Cave Creek Road, in Carefree.

With a focus on violin, voice/choir, and drama, these classes are limited in size and tailored by age group, providing a more focused educational experience.

Classes will be taught by Laya Field, Raymond LaFleur, and Kato Havas. At the close of the semester students will participate in a Spring Recital.

Spring curriculum includes ear training, music theory, sight singing, harmonization, and the technical mastery of voice or instrument.

Choral classes combine both secular and sacred works.

Interested students must sign up by Wednesday, Jan. 13. There is a registration fee of $25; tuition is dependent upon the program and ranges from $240-320.

A limited number of scholarships are

available. For more information, contact Laya Field at (480) 993-6147 or Raymond LaFleur at (623) 628-9709.

The Jubilate Music Program aims to enhance the lives of children through music by cultivating an open and inviting performing arts curriculum. Along with its after school semester program, the Jubilate Music Program will continue to offer its free program with reduced rates for Level 3 and 4 students. These courses are part of an expanding family music program that began under the direction of Fr. Steven Dart.

“Our class sizes have grown exponentially over the past year, allowing us to build a solid scholarship program for children in the community. Local support and interest has been vital, and we look forward to adding more classes in the future,” said Instructor Laya Field, a classically trained violinist and opera singer.

All Jubilate Music Program classes take place at the Dorothy McGinnis Hall of Christ Anglican Church, 35500 N. Cave Creek Road.

many people are choosing to call it home.

“If you don’t feel comfortable in the desert it probably won’t work for you,” Francia said. “We’re one of the few communities in the nation that can say that half of our area is preserved open space. That’s something the community is very conscientious about: the desert.”

One of Francia’s first responsibilities as mayor was to help preserve Spur Cross Ranch, a conservation area that borders the Tonto National Forest, in 2000. The territory has a particularly “rich archaeological record,” that housed artifacts from its former Native American inhabitants such as prehistoric pottery and tools, many of which now reside in the Cave Creek Museum.

Francia said the Spur Cross

conservation project was “an enormous grass roots effort on the part of everyone in the community,” that allowed them to preserve 2,500 acres of land. The area now offers more than 100 miles of trails that appeal to many hikers and mountain bikers, as well as those that prefer to ride horseback.

Both Maricopa County and the state of Arizona contributed $7.5 million to help purchase the land, but that was still short of what the property owners wanted. A vote was then held and 80 percent of Cave Creek citizens voted in favor of assuming a property tax in order to pay the remaining difference and save the land.

“That’s how important it was to Cave Creek citizens,” Francia said.

“It established the character of the community, Spur Cross is what gave Cave Creek its identity.”

Another main part of Cave Creek’s identity lies with the many family owned and run businesses. For years the only national chain store in the town was a Dairy Queen opened in the late 70s; the

December 16, 2015

rest of the town is filled with an array of unique restaurants and businesses that occupy the many historic buildings.

But the past few years have seen significant economic development with the addition of a Wal-Mart, AutoZone, and other major retailers. An Oregano’s was also added across from the town hall last year, making it the second chain restaurant the town has ever seen.

Evelyn Johnson, executive director for the Cave Creek Museum, said the building it occupies was built in the 1920s and previously housed the Black Mountain Store, a small general store that sold groceries and other supplies before it was turned into the Cave Creek Inn restaurant in the 1950s.

Even with the additions of new housing communities and corporate retailers, the mayor said that Cave Creek will continue to preserve the rich history its residents have known and loved.

“In ten years it’s still going to be rural, that part isn’t going to change,” Francia said. “People are very conscious of the history here, the historic part of the town is still going to remain fun and funky.”

“I think our intent is to keep the town core the way it is for our residents and tourists, to keep it uniquely Cave Creek,” Ian Cordwell, the director of town planning said. “At the same time we’re trying to encourage income generating businesses.”

Cordwell has been a Cave Creek resident for more than 19 years and said the town has doubled in population since he first moved to the area, but that “it has still maintained the original character.”

Now that the community is growing again, Cordwell said that one of the biggest struggles is “creating a buffer between commercial and residential areas.”

“I think the greatest part of the town is the desert in which we live, I think that’s what attracted people to it in the first place. It’s just a beautiful place to be,” Cordwell said.

Arizonans report thousands of cyber crimes, $25.4 million in losses in 2014 TOM BLANTON CRONKITE NEWS

NORTH VALLEY – Hackers have become almost synonymous with large-scale data breaches like the one at Ashley Madison earlier this year, but Frank Grimmelmann said that doesn’t mean cyber criminals are above targeting personal devices.

“The reality is that you likely have been hacked, will be hacked, or are being hacked and are not aware of it,” said Grimmelmann, president and CEO of the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance, a public-private group focused on “protecting the nation’s infrastructure through mutual information sharing.”

The FBI reported this summer that Americans submitted 246,620 reports of “suspected Internet-facilitated criminal activity” to the bureau’s Internet Crime Complaint Center last year, with associated financial losses of $672 million.

The “2014 Internet Crime Report” said Arizonans submitted 6,040 of those Internet crime complaints last year, reporting losses of nearly $25.4 million.

While the number of reported crimes from Arizona has fluctuated over the years, the reported losses have grown steadily at the state and national level. But cyber experts said they believe many cyber crimes go unreported, and that the number of successful cyber schemes was likely much higher than the report suggests.

And the report said that the “evolving nature of Internet crime” has “criminals achieving new levels of sophistication.”

But cyber crime still comes in two main flavors.

Hacking, in which thieves use technology to infiltrate devices and steal personal information, remains a prominent technique for cyber criminals. But a large portion of cyber crime ignores software deficiencies altogether and preys instead on the gullibility of the person using the device, experts said.

Cybersecurity experts warn that hackers are not just after big targets: Individuals reported 246,000 cyber crimes to the FBI in 2014 that cost them $672 million, with 6,000 reports and losses of $25.4 million in Arizona alone.

more money to confidence fraud in the U.S. in the second half of 2014 than they did to any other type of cyber crime. Of the financial losses reported to the FBI from June to December last year, 16.7 percent, or more than $80 million, stemmed from confidence fraud schemes.

Confidence fraud includes bogus business offers and romance scams where scammers seek “companionship or romance online,” then solicit money from the victims – whom they have never actually met in person – by spinning tales of “family tragedies, severe life circumstances, and other hardships” that left them in dire financial shape.

“That puts citizens in the position of making a tough decision,” said Mike Lettman, Arizona’s chief information security officer. “The bad guys target our soft side because they know we’re gullible.”

But Lettman, who provides information security strategies to more than 130 public agencies, said Arizonans also need to be on the lookout for hackers “trying to steal your information and use it for profit.”

“If I steal your Social Security number and I have your name, I have your identity,” Lettman said. “Don’t give personal information out if you don’t have to.”

The FBI report said Internetfacilitated identity theft was one of five costliest types of online

crimes in the second half of last year, with combined financial losses of nearly $33 million reported in 8,900 cyber crime complaints.

Phoenix in particular is a hotbed for cyber-facilitated identity theft, due to the Valley’s large elderly population, said Gail-Joon Ahn, a computer science and engineering professor at ArizonaState University.

“In terms of identity theft, we are one of the worst,” said Ahn, who teaches at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.

“We have a lot of retired people living here” who are not as familiar with cyber security.

But Lettman said Arizonans

of all ages are at risk when cyber criminals utilize social media to “target our need-to-know side.”

The FBI report said social media sites offer “a quintessential goldmine of personal data” for cyber criminals, and that “12 percent of the complaints submitted in 2014 contained a social media aspect.”

Lettman said scammers use social media websites to circulate news stories that link to questionable websites.

“Be very careful about clicking on links on social media,” he said. When you click on a link “you’re essentially opening your computer to that website.”

Lettman said he understands that “people get enticed,” but he said Arizonans should “always try to determine if a link is legit

or not” before selecting it.

Arizonans who use safe cyber security practices can decrease their risk of cyber attacks, Lettman said.

One expert said it’s high time people realized they can be at risk just like the big cyber targets.

“People just aren’t waking up to how serious this is,” said Owen Zorge, chief information officer and director of Information Technology and Assurance at the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs.

“Everybody that has a device is a target.”

Rules governing wildlife now updated NORTH VALLEY – The Arizona Game and Fish Department, as part of its regular

five-year review rulemaking process, has updated its Article 4 (Live Wildlife) rules. The new provisions are effective as of Dec. 5, 2015. The updated rules were recently approved by the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council.

The new provisions include some notable changes including: • Removal of hedgehogs from the restricted live wildlife list to allow them as pets.

• Expansion of the restricted primate species that can be possessed by private individuals without a special license.

• Prohibiting a person from allowing native desert tortoises to reproduce in captivity in an effort to reduce the number of unwanted captive desert tortoises.

• Improved consistency between federal and state rules, for example listing all birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as restricted live wildlife.

• Inclusion of red shiner, certain species of tilapia, paddlefish, sturgeon, Chinese mystery snail, and false dark mussel as restricted live wildlife, as all are non-native to Arizona and pose significant threat to native species.

• Clarification of definitions and language, consolidation

Life jacket exchange program promotes boating safety PHOENIX – The Arizona Game and Fish Department swapped approximately 800 old and tattered life jackets with new ones during life jacket exchange events at area lakes this past summer.

During the events, the public can swap old, less-effective life jackets for new ones. The department began the life jacket exchange program in 2008 to help save lives and to encourage watercraft users to remain safe on the water. Life jackets lose effectiveness over time, especially in a hot, dry climate like Arizona’s. Replacing the worn life jackets helps promote boater safety.

The program began with one exchange event during National Safe Boating Week at Lake Havasu City. Today, the department swaps life jackets during multiple events at Lake Pleasant, Lake Havasu, Saguaro Lake and Canyon Lake throughout the year. The life jacket exchange program is funded through a U.S. Coast Guard grant to purchase new jackets in a variety of sizes.

Drowning was the reported cause of death in 78 percent of the 610 recreational boating fatalities in 2014 nationwide, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Of those incidents, 84 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.

All boats in Arizona must have a life jacket aboard for every passenger and those 12 years old and younger must wear a life jacket at all times, under state law.

For life jacket fitting recommendations and other boating safety information, see www.azgfd. gov/boating.

Whether riding in a side-by-side utility-type vehicle, ATV, or dirt bike, all riders younger than18 years old are legally required to wear a Department of Transportation-approved helmet. Helmets are strongly recommended for all riders older than 18.

• Eye protection, such as riding goggles, is legally required for all riders if the OHV is not equipped with a windshield.

• Riding gloves should be worn at all times to protect your hands while riding and enhance your grip while driving.

• Wear proper clothing, including a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and over-theankle boots.

• Register your OHV and purchase an OHV Decal.

All vehicles designed primarily for travel on unimproved terrain and weighing less than 1,800 pounds are required to have a $25 OHV Decal to operate on public and state lands. License plates and decals are available at any Arizona Motor Vehicle Division location or at www. servicearizona.com.

• Take a safety course. Safety courses teach new and veteran riders the techniques needed to safely operate and ride an OHV, including the importance of shifting their weight, maintaining control of the machine, evasive breaking and maneuvers.For information on where to take a course or to take one online, visit https://azgfdportal.az.gov/ Education/OHV. • Always remember to supervise children under 16 years old and check to ensure your child is riding an age-appropriate vehicle.

Machines may be too large and powerful for a child to safely operate.

Riders should only carry the number of passengers for which

the machine is designed. One of the biggest causes of OHVrelated injuries is riding with more than the recommended number of passengers. Proper riding techniques require operators to shift their weight and change position to keep control of the machine.

Carrying a passenger can make riding difficult and change how the vehicle responds.

Judge Williams’ Column

A Bah Humbug from the Ninth Circuit?

JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS NORTH VALLEY JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Protests against Christmas displays have become a regular feature of the holiday season.

Last April, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ventured into this area again in a case called Santa Monica Nativity Scenes Committee v. City of Santa Monica, involving the Santa Monica State Beach’s Palisades Park.

Since approximately 1955, local citizens had built and had displayed a series of 14 booths, each of which was 18 feet long, that were filled with life-sized mannequins and decorations that depicted the Biblical story of Christmas. Putting up and taking down this display became a significant undertaking, and a nonprofit committee was formed in 1983 to perform these tasks.

In 1994, the city council passed an ordinance prohibiting

unattended displays; but continued to allow the nativity scenes. In 2003, the council formally passed a winter display exception to its unattended display ordinance.

This exception provided for a permit system that would allow space for displays on a first come first served basis.

In 2011 and again in 2012, groups of atheists flooded the city with permit requests so that space for the Biblical display would be either limited or nonexistent. The city responded by repealing the winter display exception and in doing so, abolished the ability of the committee to put up the Biblical display.

The committee filed a lawsuit against the city; but lost. The 9th Circuit held that repealing the exception did not violate the committee’s First Amendment free speech rights because it was content neutral. There were reasonable reasons to ban unattended displays that had nothing to do with the content of those displays.

The 9th Circuit also held that repealing the exception did not violate the constitutional prohibition on the establishment of a religion. In one part of the opinion, the appellate court acknowledged that the city council had ratified the atheists’

objections to the nativity scenes; but in doing so was not being hostile to the Christian faith.

There is no discussion in the opinion on the impact on a group of Christians who want to freely exercise their faith, in accordance with our Constitution, during a time that is recognized as a Christian holiday. Perhaps the atheists could have been allowed to put up their displays during a different month.

Modern religious tolerance seems to dictate that people can practice their religious faith as long as they do so quietly, on private property, and in a manner that will not impact anyone around them. Such restrictions are difficult for people who believe that they are obligated to share their faith with others.

Whatever your faith, I hope that your holiday season is a good one. Merry Christmas.

Around the Bluhmin’ Town

JUDY BLUHM

Do you believe in Santa? Yes, of course you do. Who can honestly say that there is no Santa! So as we approach the Christmas Season we still have many reasons to believe.

My uncle used to say that there are four stages of the “Santa Story.” First, you believe in Santa. Then you stop believing in Santa. Then you become Santa. Lastly, you end up looking like Santa. The big guy in a red suit is more than just some made-up token of gift-giving.

When people claim Christmas has become “too commercial” they might point at Santa as the culprit. Hey, don’t blame him for the push, shove, and chaos that surround Christmas shopping!

He was the one who gave that one meaningful gift per child, from a sleigh, on a wintry night, with nothing but true and good intentions. We all need a little Santa in our lives.

When children are told that Santa is coming, their parents have created one of the biggest faith-based magical stories of all time. When my teenage grandson asks why the myth was perpetuated, I point out that some day in his life, he will need to believe in something that he cannot see, touch, or explain.

But you can still imagine. And dream. And one day in your future you will have to hold on to something that seems implausible, unattainable, and highly unlikely. But you will try and then believe and begin to grasp, that the things you aspire to might be possible. Santa showed us the way!

When you stop believing in Santa you will not be angry with your parents. You have just grown up and will realize what a grand story of love and generosity you were handed. Not to diminish the birth of Christ,

but to accentuate that the world wanted one big celebration. And celebrate we do. So Santa and a group of elves work all year to make that one special gift that might make a child’s heart sing.

The baby doll with curly brown hair, or the red bicycle with training wheels, or a teddy bear and blanket to call your own.

Santa seemed to know what we wanted and brought gift giving to a whole new level.

No child would go without.

All you had to do was be good throughout the year (not even very good) and you would wake up knowing that giving and receiving is about joy and love.

We received not because of our skin color, wealth, privilege, need, location, or physical attributes. We received a gift because we were a child of this blessed world.

Everything about the Santa story was fabricated to make us believe that there was an entire Season that embodied good will, family gatherings, cookies, presents, candles, trees, church, and faith. Millions of kids everywhere would sit on the rotund elf ’s lap to recite what presents they would like and why they deserved them.

Parents stand for hours with squirming children in tow, then get the gifts, stay up late, and make sure Christmas morning is one big spectacular surprise.

When you have children of your own, you become Santa and find yourself creating the biggest fantasy of all time. You never knew giving could be so important. And in a culture that seems completely self-absorbed, we discover that giving is about someone else. It is an unselfish act of thinking, planning, making, building, shopping, baking, and wrapping with a bow an item that represents caring and appreciation. We go to tremendous efforts to fill the stockings with all the little things that show love.

Santa is an all-inclusive sort of guy. He may be regarded as a Christian symbol of Christmas, but religion doesn’t matter to Santa. He gives willingly, freely, kindly, and completely to kids throughout the world. He had

and has no lists of religious affiliations. Just believe and he will show up. A common thread in his mass appeal is that he lives to give, to bring joy through some small parcel, a few good toys, and unselfishness that is often lacking in a troubling world.

When children throughout the course of time ask, “Is there really a Santa,” the answer has always been universally the same. “Yes, there is a Santa. He lives in the spirit of humanity, in each of us, exemplified by the essence of giving to others.”

No, we shouldn’t blame Santa for making Christmas too commercial. His legacy of thoughtful planning, undying devotion, exemplary work ethic, and fondness for cookies should be the gold standard for what giving and sharing is all about.

There will times in our lives when we are plagued by problems, illness, and loss. We grow from wide-eyed children into skeptical teenagers to cynical adults. The way we see the world begins to change as we mature, experiencing many lumps and bumps along the way. We have big worries and bigger problems. The world is a scary place. And then comes along Santa.

So this Christmas Season is upon us and the true meaning may sometimes get lost. But take heart, there is a jolly man in a red suit who will show all of us that to give presents, laugh, eat cookies, and sing carols is to spread joy. The rich traditions of the holidays are all intertwined into a tapestry of sharing that extends throughout our lives.

Santa changes us. Believe in the power of determination, unbridled enthusiasm, unmatched anticipation, the magic of Christmas, and a really good cookie. Oh, and it’s good to wear red.

Ambition has led many people into foolhardy battles with nature, and it’s no surprise that nature has a pretty good winning percentage.

Ron Howard’s film “In the Heart of the Sea”, a film that mixes factual history with some fiction, displays the encounter author Herman Melville had with an aged seafarer who was on a boat attacked by the alabaster whale that influenced “Moby-Dick”.

Ron Howard is an accomplished storyteller; look no further than “A Beautiful Mind” and “Frost/ Nixon” for examples. “In the Heart of the Sea” seems tailored for Howard’s style of filmmaking with its historical era design and strong willed, flawed characters.

Unfortunately, the film misses the mark with many of the epic and emotional qualities it desperately tries to craft, making “In the Heart of the Sea” feel like a ship on verge of sinking.

Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw) enters the home of Tom Nickerson (Brendan Gleeson), a man who has a story of a giant whale that attacked a ship he was working on as a young boy. The ship, called the Essex, was based out of Nantucket and set sail under the guidance of two men forced to work with one another, Captain George Pollard (Benjamin Walker) and first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth). The Essex, having difficulty locating the prized whales, extends its voyage far into the Pacific Ocean for many years. Catastrophe comes with a splash from the ocean’s depths, as a giant whale begins hunting the Essex.

Who doesn’t like a good “man

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA Dir.: Ron Howard Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, Ben Whishaw, and Tom Holland MONTE’S RATING 2.75 OUT OF 5.00 versus nature” film? Whether a group of climbers trudging up the deadly ledges of Mount Everest, a woman making her way across the Pacific Crest Trail, or three men hunting down a great white shark, the best of these films that pit ambitious humans against the strengths of nature have a way of revealing both the good and bad of human nature. While most of the trailers for “In the Heart of the Sea” portray an action adventure film, there is also a human aspect that plays a pivotal role in the latter half of the film, one that attempts to shows how desperation can lead to depravity. The two leaders of the Essex, both of them persuaded by greed and pushed by pride to display their dominance over nature, drive the crew further into the nothingness of the ocean. The follies of human nature are clearly displayed throughout the film, from the misguided leadership on board the Essex to the greediness of the whaling company in Nantucket, the journey seems doomed from the beginning. Howard heavyhandedly pulls no punches with the development of the characters; the only care for character is taken with Herman Melville and Tom Nickerson

when they are cut back into the film at the most dramatic of moments during their night of storytelling. Where Howard restrains himself is with the most important narrative aspect of the film, when the men become desperate and make unimaginable choices for survival. Instead of pushing the film into complicated moments, the film instead sails by, barely taking time to examine the emotions of the characters during this time.

The issue with the film primarily lies in Howard’s decision to paint this film, the characters, the story, and the style, with the broadest of strokes. The characters are large embodiments of hard working men with limited emotions; the story follows a straightforward structure even when it takes a turn to display the men desperate and forced to make unthinkable choices, and the style is so obviously overdone that when water splashes, or whales breach, or storms swirl, everything looks artificial and it pulls the viewer out of the film.

Ron Howard is a great director and, even with the many negative issues, the film crafts a quality somewhat similar to a summer blockbuster film, though that probably wasn’t what was meant from the tragic source material this film is based off. “In the Heart of the Sea” tries to reach beyond the most basic story of men at war with nature but comes up short on most points. Fortunately, your local library will have the story that does display the intriguing journey that was attempted for here.

NORTH VALLEY – It’s set to be a wet winter, as the El Niño weather pattern promises abovenormal precipitation; this week, the North Valley has seen rain, wind, and freezing temperatures.

If you’re heading out of town, be prepared for possible snow and ice on the roads.

With public safety its top priority during winter storms, the Arizona Department of Transportation deploys resources quickly before, during, and after to keep highways safe for travelers, limit highway closures, and clear snow and ice as soon as possible.

ADOT winter driving tips: • Slow down, be patient and drive safely. Plan for extra travel time. Use extra caution if snowplows are on the road.

• Wear warm clothing.

• Be aware that ice forms on bridges first and is hard to see.

• When driving behind a snowplow, stay back at least four car lengths. If you think

you’re traveling too close to a plow, you probably are.

• Never pass a snowplow that’s clearing snow and ice off the road.

• Make sure your tank is at least three-quarters full.

• Notify someone of your route, destination and expected arrival time.

• Pack an emergency preparedness kit that includes blankets, extra clothes, a flashlight, an ice scraper, a shovel, sand for traction, a fully charged cellphone, and hazard warning lights or reflectors.

• Brake slowly to avoid panic braking or jerking the steering wheel.

• Increase the distance between you and traffic ahead.

• Carry plenty of food and water, as well as any medications you need.

• Carry tire chains and snow cables, or use snow tires.

Deep frying a turkey this year? Follow these safety tips NORTH VALLEY – Is Christmas dinner this year set to include a deep-fried turkey? Keep these safety recommendations from the Daisy Mountain Fire Department in mind.

Turkey Fryer Safety

The latest trend in preparing a turkey is deep frying. However, if you don’t take precautions, you may end up with an injury or fire. Many units easily tip over, spilling the five gallons of hot oil within the cooking pot.

If the cooking pot is overfilled with oil, the oil may spill out of the unit when the turkey is placed into the cooking pot.

Oil may hit the burner/flames causing a fire to engulf the entire unit. Partially frozen turkeys placed into the fryer can cause a spillover effect. This too, may result in an extensive fire.

With no thermostat controls, the units also have the potential to overheat the oil to the point of combustion. The sides of the cooking pot, lid, and pot handles get dangerously hot, posing severe burn hazards.

Deep Fried Turkey Cooking Tips: • Follow your fryer’s instructions.

• Only deep fry smaller turkeys – up to 12 pounds.

• Use oils with high smoke points such as peanut, canola, and safflower.

Peanut oil adds flavor, but it can be a concern if guests have peanut allergies.

• To determine how much oil you’ll need, put the turkey in the basket and place in the pot. Add water until it reaches one to two inches above the turkey. Lift the turkey out, and use a ruler to measure the distance from the water to the top of the fryer.

• Pour out the water and dry the fryer completely.

• Remember that it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to heat the oil, depending on the outside temperature, wind, and weather.

• Before frying, pat the turkey dry with paper towels to keep the hot oil from spattering and popping.

• Slowly lower the turkey into the oil, and maintain an oil temp of 350F. Fry turkey for three to four minutes per pound or about 35 to 42

minutes for a 10- to 12-pound turkey.

Safety Tips: • Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors a safe distance from buildings and any other material that can burn.

• Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in garages.

• Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping.

• Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you don’t watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.

• Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use.

Even after use, never allow children or pets near the turkey fryer. The oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot, hours after use.

• To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer.

• Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter.

• Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water don’t mix, and water causes oil to spill over, causing a fire or even an explosion hazard.

• The National Turkey Federation recommends refrigerator thawing and to allow approximately 24 hours for every five pounds of bird thawed in the refrigerator.

• Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. Remember to use your best judgment when attempting to fight a fire.

If the fire is manageable, use an all-purpose fire extinguisher. If the fire increases, immediately call 911 for help.

and a chef.” This 10-year-old is fighting brain cancer. She has had major surgery to remove the majority of a tumor, and she’s undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Jojo has been accepted for a trial program in LA, which will require monthly travel. Jojo’s mom is a single parent, who is working to make ends meet.

Aidan doesn’t let his frequent hospital stays get him down – he’s a spunky 9-year-old who keeps smiling. He’s fighting an unknown gastric motility disorder, atypical cystic fibrosis, hypogammaglobinemia, and chronic pain. In 2014, Aidan was in and out of the hospital.

By September 2014, Aidan was admitted to the hospital for extreme vomiting episodes and ended up with a GJ tube for feedings. A clinic in Boston was able to provide Aidan with treatment and new medicines.

He still requires extensive medical care and has been hospitalized recently.

Landon is an outgoing 10-year-old who loves Pokémon, Minecraft, dragons, and the Seattle Seahawks. Landon has a motility disorder of his lower colon, IGG primary immune deficiency, CFTR dysfunction, and malabsorption and is monitored by the cystic fibrosis clinic. Landon has been repeatedly hospitalized, and his health issues continue to become more complex.

Currently, Landon has been accepted to a specialty clinic in Boston. The expense of travel is tough on Landon and his mom.

Through We Care, these kids and their families receive monetary support, meals, and other donations, as well as cards and get well messages. This support helps cover immense medical bills and ease the families’ stress.

“Monetary donations are the best support,” explained We Care volunteer Holly Matson, who is the “go-to” liaison for the We Care families. “Most of our families travel out of state to receive specialized medical treatment; the travel is not covered by insurance.”

Last October, Aidan traveled

with his family to Boston for specialized medical care, and after the trip, his condition greatly improved and he was able to eat solid food and even go swimming for the first time in a year.

Keeping the kids’ spirits up is vital to their health, too.

Cards, pictures, and gifts help spread cheer and remind these kiddos that everyone is wishing them well and cheering them on. Mail cards to We Care for distribution: We Care, 3655 West Anthem Way Ste. A-109, PMB280 Anthem, AZ 85086.

“Liking the We Care FB page and acting on “calls for action” is another great way to help,” Matson said. “For instance, Landon and Aidan needed to be pepped up while they were in the hospital, so We Care asked the community to show support with cards, pictures, etc. They received tons of cards from as far as Singapore!”

Gift certificates, meals, gas cards, and other donations are always welcome, too. Businesses can donate services, also; contact We Care to donate, and they can network donations where they’re most needed at that time.

We Care Anthem (also known as We Care in Anthem) has been helping sick children and their families for the past 13 years.

The non-profit got its start when the Kilstrom family learned of a little boy in the community who was fighting cancer. The Kilstroms stepped in to help, and We Care Anthem was born.

The Foothills Focus “It all began in 2002 when Eric and Sara Kilstrom heard about Josh Thompson, a seven-yearold boy suffering from cancer,” Matson said. “With a passion to help, they and friends organized the first annual We Care in Anthem golf tournament and raised $27,000 for Joshua.

Today, We Care in Anthem is a 501c3 focused on helping seriously ill children and their families. The Children of We Care have been numerous, from Jeremy Pascua, a young boy with an enlarged heart, to Katie Wagner, a beautiful 16-year-old who inspired a community.”

Matson noted that monetary donations to We Care are tax-deductible. We Care kids benefit from the proceeds of Emma’s Run, held in Anthem every spring. Matson urged residents to sign up for Emma’s run and support the kids of We Care. To offer donations, visit wecareanthem.com and click the donate tab.

Even when they’re struggling with illnesses and facing long hospital stays, these kids show their fighting spirit and keep going. Matson describes the We Care kids as simply “amazing,” with their “huge smiles and incredible grasp of the importance of making the most of each day.”

NORTH VALLEY – ‘No Burn’ day? Don’t burn wood.

This simple message from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Maricopa County Air Quality Department offers a way to help keep Maricopa County’s air cleaner.

ADEQ and MCAQD have announced the kickoff of their annual Maricopa County ‘No Burn’ campaign. MCAQD issues no burn days throughout the winter season and asks county residents to refrain from lighting wood-burning fires on those designated days.

To find out if it is a no burn day, visit CleanAirMakeMore. com, download the Clean Air Make More mobile app, or call (602) 506-6400.

Smoke from wood-burning fireplaces and chimineas during winter months poses a serious health threat to children with asthma, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues. Smoke, which contains soot particles, can be absorbed into the blood stream and lessen lung function, exacerbate bronchitis and asthma, and increase chances for heart attacks and premature death. Left uncorrected, high levels of Particulate Matter-2.5 (PM 2.5) from smoke could cause Maricopa County to exceed the federal health standards, leading to more burdensome and costly federal regulation.

This is the third year of the No Burn campaign, and this past winter season was its most successful. For the first time

in 11 years, Maricopa County residents benefited from no exceedances of the state and federal annual 24-hour health standard for PM 2.5, on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. Maricopa County also met the annual federal health standard for PM 2.5.

“We want to thank the residents of Maricopa County for supporting last year’s ‘No Burn’ campaign, which allowed everyone to enjoy cleaner air,” Maricopa County Air Quality Director Philip McNeely said.

No Burn Day?

Don’t Burn Wood!

CleanAirMakeMore.com

“We must remain vigilant, however, because without voluntary compliance, there could be stricter regulations and stronger fines.”

While the No Burn campaign focuses particularly on education, those who violate the No Burn regulations can face fines. Anyone using a

non-approved residential wood burning device during a No Burn Day and who has not been issued an exemption will be given a warning and educational material for the first violation.

After the initial warning, those who continue to violate No Burn Days may be fined $50 for the second violation, $100 for the third violation, and $250 for fourth and subsequent violations.

This season, ADEQ and MCAQD are joined by nearly 100 partners and stakeholders including several cities, towns and county agencies, Bashas’ Family of Stores, Arizona Rock Products Association, and the Arizona Chapter Associated General Contractors. This year, several new partners including the Arizona Association of Community Managers, the Better Business Bureau, Tonto National Forrest, and Lyft also are contributing.

ADEQ Air Quality Division Director Eric Massey said, “Building on last year’s successful ‘No Burn” campaign, the focus for 2015 is strengthening and expanding our partners and leveraging technology to reach more Maricopa County residents than ever before using innovative and cost-effective ways.”

Like An Alchemist SHEA STANFIELD ARTS COLUMNIST

Local pastel artist Julia Patterson takes the pure pigment in her hand and like an alchemist, transmutes dusty, dry, opaque pigment into fluid, transparent effects, addressing value and color simultaneously.

The results are inspiring, provocative, and sensitively rendered images capturing the viewer’s imagination.

Growing up in, what she describes as a “very creative home,” in Texarkana, her early life revolved around the church, where she sang in the choir and acted in plays. At home, Julia reflects, “I spent my time moving from one craft project to the next.” Her mother, a singer and actress, also dazzled her daughter with her drawing

ability. Julia’s father and his family “captured the light” as professional photographers, and her grandmother, equally talented, created beauty with her sewing, crocheting, and literary skills. But, in spite of all of this, Julia’s first ambition was to be a writer, so that’s where she focused her creative talent throughout her schooling.

Julia graduated from North Texas State University in Communication Studies, all the while continuing her creative projects on the side. At one point, she tried watercolors and focused on that medium for many years, honing her skills by taking classes and workshops as her scheduled permitted. Julia’s creative “fork in the road” came when she met Cave Creek glass

Pictured: Julia Patterson

artist Carole Perry who showed Julia her own watercolors from a Paradise Valley Community College class she was attending.

This inspired Julia to join the class as well, once again. During this time, Carole also introduced Julia to pastels and the rest is history. Julia fell in love with the “pigment in her hand” and has made a name for herself in the local art world with her inspired studies of doors, windows, local wildlife and landscapes.

Recently, Julia has taken up oil painting with stunning results.

She observes her home studio is a little more cramped than she would like with the extra canvases, easels, and materials, but as all dedicated artists she is making it happen. Much like her pastel work, Julia enjoys oils for their “workability.” She is able to focus on shadows and shapes expanding her subject material in a variety of ways. A number of years ago, Julia took her first “plein air” workshop from Maggie Price. The experience of working outside, on location,

EXPERT SERVICE CHARACTER • INTEGRITY • HONESTY

DavidBarnhart843@yahoo.com

was a real game changer; Julia realized how much joy the creative process brought her.

Two years ago, Julie decided to close down her graphic design business and focus her efforts full time on her fine art career, a choice she has never regretted.

Through Julia’s success she has received scholarships from the Scottsdale Artists School every year for the past four years.

This has enabled her to move her skills forward in significant ways with the guidance of other professional artists offering workshops at the school. Julia describes her move into oils as frustrating and exhilarating at

the same time. She observes, “It requires my whole being and full attention, truly an inspiring experience.”

Julie participates in the Camelback Studio Tour and Hidden in the Hills Studio tour each November. Her work can also be seen at the Fountain Hills Artists Gallery and Manos Gallery in Tubac, Arizona.

Pet of the Week: Kitty Gato

Meet Kitty Gato!

This cuddly, gorgeous, 2-3 year old female kitty was surrendered to Anthem Pets when her mom joined the armed forces. Since then, she has been missing her human and waiting patiently for a forever home.

Kitty Gato is such a lovely kitty who really bonds with her person. When she hears a voice she knows, she scrambles to find them and happily rolls all over the floor. Such a cutie!

Though she’s not shy, like most kitties she does require a slow

introduction to your home so she can properly acclimate.

(It’s always important to give them a few days in a bathroom or bedroom before introducing them to the entire house.)

Did we mention that Kitty Gato also loves to give kisses? She’s quite the catch!

She’s spayed, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped.

If you’d like to give Kitty Gato a forever home, please complete the Anthem Pets matchmaker application found at anthempets. org/adoptionprocess. A $40

adoption fee applies.

Anthem Pets (www.anthempets. org) is a nonprofit animal rescue organization serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Operating on donations only, it aims to find forever homes for abandoned animals and return wayward pets to owners. If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help Anthem Pets, please consider making a donation so we can continue to rescu animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Or better yet, become a foster!

‘Cabaret Night: The Soul of Broadway Holiday’ coming to Desert Foothills Theater CAREFREE – Desert Foothills Theater’s ‘Cabaret Night’ is back by popular demand!

Desert Foothills Theater, a division of the Foothills Community Foundation, is presenting ‘Cabaret Night: The Soul of Broadway Holiday’ on Sunday and Monday, Dec. 20 and 21, featuring uplifting gospel, Motown, and spiritual versions of some of the holiday’s best-known music.

The group, under the leadership of Chanel Bragg and music direction of Gregg Temple, also includes acclaimed local talent Damon Bolling, Krystal Pope, Jacqueline Castillo, and Tyra Young.

“While many of the cabaret performers have appeared in Desert Foothills Theater’s productions, such as Dreamgirls

and Hairspray, this is a rare chance to see them performing together in such an intimate setting,” said Chanel Bragg,

one of the performers who last appeared on DFT’s stage as Effie in Dreamgirls.

New to the DFT stage is Nathaniel Tenenbaum, who is fresh off the Phoenix Theatre Stage from performing in The Toxic Avenger.

The cabaret night will begin at 6:30 p.m. with appetizers at Venues Café, 34 Easy St., in Carefree, with the performance set for 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40 per person and include a glass of wine, appetizers, and the show.

Proceeds from the performance benefit Desert Foothills Theater.

For details or to reserve tickets, visit www.dftheater.org or call (480) 488-1981.
