ANTHEM – In 2000, Anthem and the surrounding communities celebrated the opening of Safeway, the first grocery store in the area.

Get ready to re-welcome Safeway to the neighborhood, as the store is set to return to its former location at 3655 W. Anthem Way. The Albertsons Safeway Inc. corporation has officially confirmed that Safeway is reopening.

Nancy Keane, Albertsons Safeway Inc. Public Affairs and Government Relations representative, emailed The Foothills Focus a statement

CAVE CREEK – The Cave Creek Town Council scheduled a special work session for Sept. 26 to continue discussing and working out the details necessary for delivering water to west-side residents, after hearing recommendations from the town’s attorney, town manager and members of the water advisory board during last week’s council meeting.

The biggest problem the town council and engineers face is many areas of the town will see a significant increase in water pressure, which could cause damage to homes because pipes could burst under the added

stress. The added water pressure is necessary so the town can pump the water to the west-side of town and into the Saddle Mountain, Desert Hills and Cahava Springs area, according to the Town Engineer, Dave Peterson.

“If we had at pump station at the northeast corner of 24th and Joy Ranch, then everything could be normal pressure of 70 to 90 [psi] on high end, but that would cost money, probably $200,000 to $300,000,” Peterson said at Monday’s meeting.

However, Town Manager Peter Jankowski objected to the

On the issues: Candidates share views during forum in Anthem ELIZABETH MEDORA STAFF

ANTHEM – Nineteen candidates running for a variety of Arizona offices answered questions and offered information on their backgrounds and views at a Sept. 14 candidate forum that was sponsored by the Anthem Community Council and the New River/Desert Hills Community Association.

Each candidate made an opening statement, then participated in a Q&A session for the office they’re seeking.

Congressional District 4 candidate Mikel Weisser spoke first and said in his opening

statement that the future needs to be “more culturally diverse” and “politically progressive”.

Congressional District 4 encompasses the Black Canyon City area and stretches out to Tortilla Flat to the east and past Wickenburg to the west.

Arizona Corporation Commission made opening statements next.

This Corporation Commission race is considered one to watch this year, as the commission will be voting on some major cases, including for APS, in coming months. ‘Dark money’ donations have been at the forefront of discussion about this race, as the FBI has

Bob Burns, as a response after Burns filed subpoenas to order APS to turn over campaign contribution documentation.

ACC candidate Tom Chabin recounted his school board, Board of Supervisors, and legislative experience for his candidacy, then brought up the dark money concerns.

“This is a critical race,” he said, referencing “dark money” donors, which he said have campaigned to “elect the commission they want and they got it. They got it!”

During Q&A, Chabin was

Community celebrates opening of Opportunity Way Park ANTHEM – Anthem’s newest amenity, Opportunity Way Park, opened and was dedicated to the residents of the Anthem community on Sept. 17 after a ribbon cutting at the site. EPCOR and Anthem Community Council Board members and staff, as well as Anthem Parkside Community Association and the Community Planning and Development Committee, opened the park for play.

The new park includes multi-use sports fields, a basketball half-court, ADAcompliant, shaded playground areas,

two ramadas, a picnic area, a half-mile walking path, a restroom facility, and on-site parking. The park also includes decorative security fencing.

A partnership between the Anthem Community Council, EPCOR, and Parkside, the 10-acre west side park is the second of the ACC’s Facility Master Plan projects; the Anthem Civic Building was the first, completed in 2014. The ACC Board-approved Enhancement Fund project is partially built over an EPCOR active recharge facility, which may make

it the first park of its kind in the country.

At the grand opening, the ACC Community Center staff led demonstrations and activities on the sports fields, and ACC and EPCOR staff gave tours and visited with attendees.

“Through the vision and involvement of many talented and dedicated people, this community seized the opportunity and found the way to create something beautiful and special for this Anthem neighborhood and our community,” said Ryan Halleran, ACC Board of Directors President. “We thank our park neighbors and Anthem businesses, residents, and youth – this beautiful space is for you.

Please join us in preserving it, protecting it, and enjoying it for years to come.”

Haydon Corp. was the construction manager for the park project, with subcontractors ExerPlay building the new playground and SiteWorks overseeing the turf and landscape installations.

The ACC Parks and Facilities staff installed park furniture and equipment and performed supplementary painting and concrete work; and BrightView

Landscape Services completed landscape tasks not covered by the Haydon contract to ensure that the park opened on time and on budget.

asked his position on APS participating in an election that sets their rates, and he replied, “Maybe the government-created monopolies should stay out of elections of the agency that regulates them.”

ACC candidate Bob Burns is an incumbent. He noted that he’s worked for both GE and Honeywell and has owned his own business. He has legislative, Senate, and Central Arizona Project Board experience.

Andy Tobin, also an ACC incumbent, noted that he also has legislative experience and that he got into politics because he “felt the need to get down to the legislature and make some changes in things that were very important to me.”

ACC candidate Bill Mundell noted that he had served in four branches of Arizona government. He referenced dark money, too, saying that APS spent at $3 million in the last election to get two commissioners elected.

“Debates like this are important to our state and our democracy,” Mundell said.

ACC candidate Boyd Dunn was the last of the Commission candidates to speak. He cited his judicial and mayoral experience.

“I think it’s important to have the experience of a judge on the Corporation Commission,” Dunn said.

Karen Fann (R), who is running unopposed for Senator for Legislative District 1, said her focus is “economic development” and that she is “fortunate and blessed this year” to be running unopposed.

Two House of Representatives District 1 seats are being sought in this election; four candidates are running, including Peter Pierson (D), incumbent Noel Campbell (R), David Stringer (R), who was absent from the candidate forum, and Haryakshsa Gregor Knauer (G).

Pierson noted that he became involved in government through the successful 2015 Prescott Unified School District BondOverride campaign.

He works full-time in watershed restoration and holds a reserve role as a firefighter/paramedic.

Candidates at the Sept. 14 forum.

Pierson is campaigning as committed to putting community issues above political ideology.

He’s also campaigning against dark money in campaigns, saying that the representative primary election was “flooded with dark money.”

Green party candidate Haryakshsa Gregor Knauer cited renewable energy as a major issue, as well as budget and education issues, calling Prop 123 that was passed this year a “fraud perpetrated on the voters.”

Incumbent Noel Campbell noted that he grew up in Phoenix; he has served in the military. He noted that he has

voted against dark money.

“I run clean elections. I wish our system was more transparent,” he said.

Maricopa County Sheriff candidate Paul Penzone (D) spoke next. He discussed his background experience; he served with Phoenix Police for 21 years, including in patrol, undercover, and narcotics cases, as well as in administration and running the Silent Witness program.

He said law enforcement should be “efficient, effective, and principled,” putting “safety and the needs of the community first.”

During his Q&A time, Penzone was questioned on how he felt the results of the presidential election could impact the sheriff ’s office on immigration issues. Penzone replied that the “job itself is complex – the ability to abide by the law should not be. Politics should not have any impact on how we do our job when it comes to policing.”

Penzone said that immigration laws would be enforced effectively, noting that bringing human traffickers and drug traffickers to justice would be a priority.

Diego Rodriguez (D), candidate for Maricopa County Attorney, shared his background

TheFoothillsFocus.com experience, noting his undergraduate degree in finance and that he has been an Arizona resident since 1992. He has worked as a prosecutor in Pima County, saying he had “worked my way up from dog bite cases to first degree homicides.”

Rodriguez said he decided to run for county attorney “because we need to start looking at the future.” He referenced Arizona’s incarceration rate, one of the highest in the country, as compared to its education ranking, one of the lowest in the country, noting that some of the funding spent on incarceration could be improving education instead.

Incumbent county attorney Bill Montgomery said that Maricopa County has been chosen as a high-performing prosecution agency. He said the county has been divided up so that prosecution teams work in consistent areas so that they can work with the same people and that “tablet computers” have been provided for prosecutors.

Maricopa County Treasurer candidate Joe Downs (D) is a CPA; he said the current investments of the county tax revenue aren’t showing adequate growth. He said better investment if these funds could “generate an extra $100 million-plus per year without raising taxes.”

Running as a Democrat, Downs noted his awareness that voters may see him as representing ‘tax and spend liberals’ or ‘big government’.

“The county treasurer cannot raise or lower taxes,” he emphasized. He called this election “one of those bizarre years’, saying he’s “the private sector guy.”

“Every once in a while, it’s the conservative choice to vote for a Democrat,” he said.

Maricopa County Supervisor candidate Bill Gates (R) is running unopposed for the seat vacated by Andy Kunasek’s retirement. Gates discussed his experience for this position, including time on the Phoenix City Council and said he is “most proud of the fact that I led the efficiency effort at the city of Phoenix during my time on the council.”

Both candidates for Maricopa County School Superintendent attended the forum.

Michelle Robertson (D) is a current Cartwright School District teacher. She said the duties of the office need to be a non-partisan effort, calling it “an issue that every one of us have to be invested in.”

Robertson noted that state economics are connected to education, saying that improving Arizona schools will help bring new businesses to the state and keep families living here.

Steve Watson (R) is also a teacher; he teaches at Boulder Creek High School.

“You guys have some terrific school opportunities here,” he said at the forum. He noted that he is for school choice and that he wants to make sure that children have the best opportunities for schools.

Desert Ridge Justice of the Peace candidate Cathy Riggs (R) said she is a former law enforcement officer; she’s running on a platform of ‘Raise the Bar.’ Maricopa County Recorder candidate Adrian Fontes (D) cited his past experience, noting he is a member of the Marine Corps. He referenced the Presidential Preference Election last March, noting the difficulties encountered by voters during that election, as well as other election issues, such as unsecured ballots and identity theft concerns.

Fontes stated that declared his candidacy right after the PPE “fiasco” and that he plans to make the recorder’s office party-neutral.

“I don’t think party preferences should have anything to do with our elections,” he emphasized.

proposal, saying it would be difficult to build the costly station by the December deadline set by the town for delivering water to the west-side.

“My instructions were get water to the west side by December,” said Jankowski. “I do believe along the line you will need booster stations, not today, but in 15 years, yes.”

The town’s attorney agreed to Jankowski’s apprehensions, saying it would be against the state constitution to use town capital improvement funds to benefit the private Cahava Springs project regardless.

“It [new station]could be leased with a date by where it had to be dedicated free of charge,” the lawyer said. “Then I think I could justify spending public funds to increase the water pressure to serve town water customers, but the operative word was date certain

Bob Morris, a member of the Cave Creek Water Advisory Committee and an engineer, voiced concerns over the town council setting a precedent that is unnecessary, saying that water pressure is a problem towns face nationwide.

“Most towns do nothing about it, I don’t know any town that guarantees what happens on the customer side, the key is notification,” Morris said.

He thinks the town just needs to provide residents ample notification, giving homeowners time to install pressure reducing valves or PRVs, which solves the problem of high water pressure resulting from the improvements, without having to build an expensive booster station.

“My point is here is don’t make this worse than it is, don’t set a precedent you don’t have to set,” Morris said. “Over half of the town needs PRVs.”

Mayor Vincent Francia directed the town council to continue the discussion on the waterline infrastructure improvements in a special work session on Monday, Sept.

26, after it reviews some legal complexities before moving forward. He directed the town manager to add an item for the council to vote on regarding the town’s liability in controlling high water pressure in the next regular council meeting.

Terry Smith, the west-side resident who propelled this topic forward by threatening a lawsuit last month, spoke to express his gratitude to the town council for moving forward in the right direction.

“Yes, we would love to have had it where we could come down here and you turn a valve and we have water,” said Smith.

“It is not that simple, and that has been very clear to all of us, we’ll support the town, and I support the town’s effort.”

I am leaving on a short trip.

I will be taking a time capsule (Southwest Airlines) to a faraway land (Ohio), a place of my youth (family home) where nothing much changes and a million memories will greet me.

I’m not off to anywhere exotic, just going to the place where I grew up, so when I finally arrive “home” it will be to an old house on a shady lane in a small

In Arizona, the average person moves every four to five years. Imagine living in the same house for sixty-five years!

Would you have to love it? Or perhaps a home becomes so familiar that at some point, it’s impossible to leave. I’ve tried to talk my mother into moving out to Arizona, but she always says, “no and never.” Hey, it’s cold in Ohio in the winter, but she doesn’t care. She used to stay with me for the winter months, but now her travel days are over.

So we make my visits count.

What to pack for a trip back in time?

Maybe something nostalgic... town in the country. I’ll drive by the seventy year old church that I went to every Sunday and past the houses of neighbors whom have long since died. When I get up to my mother’s house, I’ll walk by a sixty-five-old willow tree that I used to climb as a kid.

Nothing in my mother’s house ever changes. Elsewhere, the world seems to spin at breakneck speed, years flying by, children growing up in a minute, but when I walk in the front door of my childhood home, I’ll see that time does stand still.

There will be all the familiar furniture in the living room, to the paintings that grace the walls, the grandfather clock will chime the same tune and the kitchen will have the aroma of something delicious just baked.

In a stove that is forty-five years old!

When I put my bag down in my room, it will be as though I never left. A busy, flowered, patterned wallpaper will still dance around the room with white lace curtains at the window. The same blue bedspread sprinkled with small white flowers, with a ruffled hem will remind me

my name carved into the bark.

More proof that some things are reliably constant. I may actually be transformed while I’m visiting my mother. I’ll drink hot tea at her house (she’s English) and eat scones. She may even get me to crotchet again! So the house may remain unchanged, but my mom keeps moving forward and likes to stay up-todate. She has learned how to send emails and is on Facebook!

Occasionally she will send me a text. Not bad for 93 years old!

What to pack for a trip back in time? Maybe something nostalgic (I still have a Mother’s Day card that my brother and I made over 40 years ago). Well, I doubt that I can fit everything into a carry-on bag. No, going home requires checked luggage and plenty of space for gifts, photos and a secret stash for memories.

Packing light?

Impossible. Packing right?

Essential. Especially when your destination is “Memory Lane.”

Judge Williams’ Column

All Americans Should Respect Our Nation’s Flag

JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS NORTH VALLEY JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

An NFL quarterback has decided that he will not stand during our national anthem in order to protest injustice. His credibility is limited in part because he also wears socks depicting police as pigs.

It was further limited when he held a press conference to complain about oppression in our county, while wearing a shirt depicting Communist dictator Fidel Castro. Still, he has some followers. He has even more admirers, especially in the media.

So why is this a big deal?

Quite simply, it is stupid to show disrespect to the symbols of a nation that allow you to be disrespectful. Any cause you are attempting to champion will not be meaningfully advanced by such imprudent behavior.

It is worth remembering that our flag is a symbol of a very unique nation.

America is exceptional not because Americans are better than citizens of other nations. We’re not.

We did not form a country based on a single ethnic or religious heritage. Our country was not determined, as many are, by lines drawn by others at the end of a war.

Instead, the United States is exceptional because our country was founded on what still remain to be a fairly unique set of ideas, as evidenced by our Declaration of Independence and by our Constitution.

Our flag is the most recognizable symbol of that

exceptional nation. My old Boy Scout Handbook notes, “Men have defended your flag with their blood and their lives because it stands for all that is good about your country.”

It further states, “Others have defiled the flag as a symbol of things about the United States they don’t like. In each case, it wasn’t the flag that was defended or attacked, but rather the nation, itself.”

While some football players use their status as an opportunity to protest symbols of our nation, the University of Arizona football team had special uniforms for its game against Hawaii. The USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii helps preserve one of the most pivotal moments in U.S. history: the attack on Pearl Harbor and our subsequent entry into World War II. All of our Arizona Cardinals stood when our national anthem

was played on September 11. The Dallas Cowboys got it right too.

After the football game on the anniversary of the September 11th terrorists’ attacks, a Vice President of the New York Giants sent an e-mail to their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. He thanked them for their “brilliant, well executed, and most importantly, an emotional moving experience … put on for the 15th Anniversary of 9/11” and for incorporating “the heart and soul of what New York City and the metropolitan area felt on that fateful day and the aftermath that followed.”

Perhaps the bottom line is: Does our Constitution document your right to be a jerk? Absolutely. Should you be?

Absolutely not.

determined, we look forward to providing an exceptional shopping experience to every resident of Anthem. It’s expected that about 100 new employees will be hired at Safeway in Anthem.”

According to the Albertsons Safeway Inc. statement, the new store will feature a full-service Starbucks and seating area, in addition to a designer floral showroom, and an exceptional produce department featuring fresh fruits and vegetables, including a variety of organic produce.

A new butcher block with fine cut meat, poultry, and seafood is also planned.

“To date, an in-store bank has not been selected,” the statement concludes.

The Anthem Safeway was converted to a Haggen store in early summer of 2015, after an Albertsons/Safeway merger.

Multiple stores operating under the Albertsons or Safeway corporations were then sold to Haggen, a Pacific northwest grocery chain that was aiming for a major expansion. Haggen’s expansion was

short-lived, however, and the Anthem Haggen announced plans to close after being open for only three months.

After the closure of Haggen, the familiar Anthem storefront sat empty, and speculation grew on what might go in there. Signs posted on the former Safeway building for an application for a liquor license for Safeway #3334 sparked community interest, and Safeway has now confirmed what the application sign indicated.

No further details on the opening have yet been released; updates will be posted in future Foothills Focus articles.

TRRFCC Horsemanship kicks off its fall classes and will hold Family Fun Night in November KATLYN EWENS STAFF

CAVE CREEK – Entering its ninth year, TRRFCC Horsemanship continues to positively impact the Cave Creek, Phoenix and Scottsdale communities as it kicks off its first classes of the fall.

The program runs on campus at Horseshoe Trails Elementary School and works with many students in the Cave Creek Unified School District. With help from the community and volunteers, TRFFCC was recently able to build a new arena to hold classes during the day.

Attempting to reach a large variety of students, TRRFCC’s students come out all as a class, like a physical education or music class at school. The program brings together many children from different schools in the area including Sonoran Trails Middle School, Cactus Shadows High School and AZ Agriculture and Equine Center (AAEC) High School.

Pronounced “terrific,” TRRFCC stands for the six pillars of character, which are the basis of the program.

These pillars are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

Not only do students in the north Valley get to learn and attend classes, they can also participate in the mentor program, giving them leadership experience at a

young age. There are different programs for sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

Serving more than 700 students yearly, TRRFCC relies heavily on the community for funding and volunteers.

Without strong support from the community, non-profit organizations like TRRFCC would not be able to impact thousands, like they have.

Help from the community is crucial when it comes to non-profit organizations, which is why TRRFCC relies on volunteers. The organization has a strong group of regular volunteers, but are always looking for additional help.

Volunteers are well-trained and prepared before they begin working.

TRRFCC will host its 7th Annual Family Fun Night at the Chip in Cave Creek, in order to help support the education program. The event is Nov. 11 from 5-8:30 p.m., and there will be free games and horse activities, a Buffalo Chip chuck wagon dinner, action, raffles and a delicious bake sale!

TRRFCC continues to work with hundreds of students yearly to strengthen their character, leadership and communication skills through numerous programs.

For more information on the organization itself, upcoming events and how to get involved, please visit www.trrfcchorsemanship.org.

“I think we need to find leadership,” said coach Jennifer McGauley. “Our leaders do a good job when everything is going good, but we need to learn how to fight.”

Junior #10 Lacey Zerwas led the Boulder Creek offense with three kills, seven service aces, and 15 assists.

The defense remained steady with the help of sophomore #9 Kailey Holm who had 12 digs.

“We could have had more positive and effective communication on the court,” said junior #11 Madison Squires.

The varsity team is still young and in the process of fighting for individual positions. The team consists of zero seniors, eight juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen.

“I think we need to work on mental toughness,” said coach McGauley. “We started off really strong at the beginning of the season and since then we’ve wavered with confidence.”

The Color of the Spirit SHEA STANFIELD ARTS COLUMNIST

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Nature always wears the color of the spirit.” The mixed media, nature-inspired sculptures of local artist Nancy McIntosh surprise and delight their admirers and inspire the spaces they occupy. Dancing colored glass, springy spindly stalks, or bold reprehensive pieces add fun and fantastical focal points to any garden, atrium, entry, and home or business interior.

Nancy grew up in Minnesota, enjoying the great outdoors and open spaces that inspired her interest in art and design.

She remembers always being very creative, although she did not consider herself an “artist” until much later in her life.

She completed her degree in Interior Design with a minor in French at the University of Minnesota in 1977. Soon after graduation, Nancy entered the world of product development for the retail market. By age 30, Nancy’s career took her to New York City, where she continued to develop her skills in marketing and product development, eventually for her own import company in the gourmet housewares industry.

After 20 years on the East Coast, Nancy moved to Phoenix, AZ to be closer to her family and enjoy a warmer climate.

The relocation to Arizona intensified Nancy’s love for color and organic shapes, moving her toward a new horizon working hands on in steel and glass.

As Nancy would explain her production process, “My initial welding work is done in a studio workshop in Mesa. My glass and finishing work to complete the pieces, is done in my home studio in Scottsdale.” The end products dance in the light, delighting their space with splashes of ever-changing color, shadow, and form.

In a given year, Nancy participates in four shows and exhibits. These change depending on the direction her work is moving at the time. Currently, she is focused on developing her public art projects. The world of public presentation and design, after all, is Nancy’s foundation for her creativity.

At the end of the day, Nancy considers herself a problem solver. She enjoys creating designs that work with, complement, and delight in their surroundings.

movie review MONTE YAZZIE MOVIE COLUMNIST

BLAIR WITCH

It’s not too often that you get a film that changes the landscape of possibilities for a genre. “The Blair Witch Project” had that effect on horror. In 1999, directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez pulled the veil over the eyes of unsuspecting film goers, orchestrating a ruse of a marketing campaign that had audiences thinking the movie they were watching was real footage of three film students who went missing after searching the woods in Maryland for the local legend The Blair Witch. The film was shot on video with cameras you could buy at the nearby electronics store, the three leads were given instructions via walkie-talkie from the directors watching from a distance, and the budget for the entire film was a mere twenty-two thousand dollars. The film was a monumental success at the box office, grossing more than two hundred million dollars. The film paved the way for a plethora of copycats, leading to the point-of-view perspective film style that has been so abundantly overused.

A rushed sequel, “Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2”, was made the following year but it didn’t come close to matching the success or scary effect of the original.

It seems so unusual in today’s remake

Directed by: Adam Wingard Starring:James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Corbin Reid, Brandon Scott, Wes Robinson, Valorie Curry Lionsgate 89 Minutes Monte’s Rating: 3.00 out of 5.00 mania for a film as highly regarded as “The Blair Witch Project” to not have a remake or re-envisioned release sooner; the fifteen year gap between the sequel and the current continuation is significant for a horror film.

Director Adam Wingard, who helmed the exceptional “You’re Next” and “The Guest”, ingeniously kept the cat in the bag with this film, waiting until just a few months ago to reveal that the trailer advertising a film called “The Woods” was actually a “Blair Witch” sequel.

Wingard and longtime collaborative writer Simon Barrett put every scareinducing sleight of hand trick into this film, crafting a fun enough experience but nothing that will keep you from venturing into the woods.

Wingard’s film cleverly connects the

first film with the new film, making an easy transition back into the woods for a group of friends investigating the mysterious arrival of a video. Josh (James Allen McCune) has kept hope alive that he will one day find out what happened to his sister who was lost in the woods. That hope is enough to have him charging into forbidden territory.

The introduction gets everything moving fairly quickly. Wingard employs updated technology, a small camera that rests on the ear, to document the individual’s experience and a flying drone camera that provides perspective for the vastness of the woods. The raw and unpredictable movement of the camera here recalls the style of the original film.

Wingard utilizes this to craft quite a few jump scares, some effectively executed and some frustratingly formulaic.

Writer Simon Barrett adds a few creepy touches to the mythology that lends itself nicely when the finale arrives but doesn’t provide enough moments earlier in the film to accommodate people running around and screaming from every rustling bush, faint noises in the woods, or blurry figures lurking behind trees. We’ve seen this all before; look at the high point film “REC” in this specific subgenre of horror for the best example.

Unfortunately, instead of building on everything that has already been achieved with found footage horror, the film seems content with doing the familiar very well.

Where “The Blair Witch Project” layered the atmosphere and manipulated the characters towards a taut, unforgettable ending, “Blair Witch” gets lost in the early maze that it builds and stages a showy ending that doesn’t carry the impact of the original.

ANTHEM – Join the fight against cancer and walk for a cure on Saturday, Oct. 1. Linda’s W.I.S.H. is once again holding a 5K to raise money for both breast cancer research and support programs for cancer patients.

You don’t need to be a runner to help the cause. Everyone can join in and participate to their ability level.

“Everyone is welcome, including parents with strollers,” said Linda’s W.I.S.H. volunteer Peni Long in an email interview.

“We have participants who are really into the timed event and win medals, and we have those like me who want to participate but mainly enjoy the day, the beautiful golf course and the camaraderie.”

This year is the 15th annual Linda’s W.I.S.H. Last year, 238 people participated, and $15,000 was raised for HonorHealth.

Funds raised through this year’s event will also be given to HonorHealth’s breast cancer research and support programs. “$15,000 was donated to Honor Health Breast Cancer Research and Support to assist in research but also to provide assistance to breast cancer patients for item or counsel they might need and otherwise not be able to afford,” Long said.

“The money comes from the enrollments, sponsorships, the coin challenge supported by

by MidFirst Bank, and even an event in another state.”

Linda’s W.I.S.H. began as the Ironwood Walk, raising money for cancer research.

Linda Kacmarsky, who had her first fight with cancer in 2000, was an avid supporter of fundraisers like that one. Linda’s mission became finding a cure for cancer, and she participated in many fundraisers, including a 3-day walk in Phoenix. She was known for her caring and support for those struggling with cancer; whatever a patient needed, she would try to help.

Linda passed away in 2010, after another battle with cancer, but her memory and her mission live on in Linda’s W.I.S.H. Volunteer Long noted that she has been involved with the effort from the beginning, 15 years ago.

“That evolved into support for the Anthem team who participated in the 3-day Susan G Komen event in Phoenix, then became Linda’s WISH, named for Frank’s wife Linda who fought and eventually lost her battle with breast cancer,” Long said via email. “Frank estimates that through the years we have collectively raised more than a million dollars.”

To register for the Linda’s W.I.S.H. 5K, visit www. lindaswish.com.

Registration fees include race participation; event ‘bibs’ with timing chips with immediate results at finish line; a Linda’s W.I.S.H. string backpack; a wellness area with professional massage and stretch therapy; bottled water at intervals along the course, and a light continental breakfast, served at the conclusion of the 5K. The top three of all age classes for men, boys, women, and girls will receive a medal.

Event shirts will be offered to registrants, while supplies last.

Help fulfill Linda Kacmarksy’s wish to find a cure and join in this fight against cancer – one step at a time.

During the Boosterthon program, students at Desert Willow Elementary learned the five steps to making a difference in their community.

Five documentary-style videos taught students how to find a need, write a plan, rally a team, launch it now, and grit it out.

From the hard work of the students and the community, Desert Willow Elementary is projected to profit more than $22,000 from the Boosterthon Fun Run. These funds raised will go toward purchasing new Chromebooks for the students.

Pet of the Week: Buddie who loves to curl up in your lap.

When it’s playtime, Buddie also loves to play with his toys.

Buddie has lived with other cats and dogs but prefers to be the only pet. He’s fully housebroken and does well on a leash. Buddie is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.

If you’d like to make Buddie a part of your family, please contact Anthem Pets. Adoption applications are available online at http://anthempets. org/adoptionprocess. A $65 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 rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Or better yet, become a foster!

SMARTER. BOLDER. FASTER.

Meet Buddie!

Buddie is an Anthem Pets’ long-timer. This little lonely heart boy has been with Anthem Pets since February! It’s a bit of a mystery why this little love bug hasn’t been adopted yet because he’s a sweetie that loves to give kisses and cuddles.

Buddie is a 4-year-old terrier mix. This sweet little guy will never leave your side. He’s a very gentle, affectionate dog

Each Office Independently Owned and Operated.
