Anthem Council moves toward honoring fallen officer MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
The Anthem Community Council hashed out the details by which future councils can honor people by naming buildings or other objects in the community at the Sept. 26 meeting. Board member Robert Linder is a proponent of renaming the main softball field in Anthem Community Park after the late Maricopa County Sherriff’s officer Bill Coleman. The 50-yearold New River resident was killed in the line of duty in Anthem on Jan. 8. Since Linder’s original suggestion made at the August meeting, Anthem put together a committee of nine community members to put together a policy on the procedure and merits required for the honor. The honoring of Coleman would include a bronze memorial plaque as well as a sign on the scoreboard. A new flagpole also would be installed. The board debated the latitude of discretion future boards should have when making selections. The eventual policy that was approved, by a 6-1 margin, included a need for a super majority to approve a nominee and offered the word heroic in the criteria for the person being nominated, a word that kept board president Craig Boates from voting for it. With a policy in place, the board followed by unanimously
Inside:
supporting a move to initiate the nomination process to dedicate Anthem Community Park softball field #1 as “Coleman Field.” The policy includes getting written support from the Coleman family. If approved the ceremony would tentatively take place on the anniversary of Coleman’s death. While the renaming of the field would honor a fallen officer, the board was challenged by members of the community to contribute to honoring the country’s military veterans. Following recent news that the 8th annual Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade was in jeopardy due to lack of financial support, both former board president Bill Clower and former vice president Bob Copen implored the current council to aid the parade in some way, whether it was financial or simply offering to pay for the security for the event or even simply the rental of the Porta-Johns. The board also was called upon and approved the expenditure of up to $10,000 in operating funds for repairs to the Veterans Memorial. Chief operations officer Neal Shearer said the marble at the bottom of the memorial has become discolored. He said the one-time repair shouldn’t cost more than $10,000. Shearer went on to explain, while a

Hidden in the Hills tour returns to North Valley STAFF REPORT
The Sonoran Arts League’s Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour and Sale, Arizona’s largest and most popular six-day art studio tour, is set to return to Cave Creek, Carefree and north Scottsdale once again this year. Originally created by Sonoran Arts League in 1975 as the Cave Creek Craft Council, Hidden in the Hills (HITH) has evolved into the League’s flagship event, taking place the last two weekends in November each year. The HITH self guided tour provides opportunities for interaction with more than 160 Sonoran Art League artists at nearly 50 neighborhood studios. Paintings, sculptures,
jewelry and mixed media creations -- everything from abstract art to wearable art -can be purchased before, during and after the tour. “In 2011 we had more traffic, sales and commissions than
ever before,” said HITH cochair Pamela Mangelsdorf. “We definitely made an economic impact and expect 2012 to be even better with record numbers of artists and studios participating.” Mangelsdorf works in watercolors, oil and acrylics. She’s on the Tour in Studio 27. Yearly, members of Sonoran Arts League compete for the privilege of having their art featured on the cover of the award-winning Hidden in the Hills Directory. An elaborate mixed media gourd mask by Jane Boggs was selected for 2012. Boggs’ mask was picked

Owner celebrates anniversary with creative twist on art instruction MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
Whether it’s a corporate event to foster team spirit, a Ladies Night or even a summer program for children, business owner Ruby Farias said she has found a formula that seems to works. Farias is celebrating her first anniversary of Me The Artist, an instructor-led group painting studio at CityCenter of CityNorth, later this month. The motto for the experience Farias offers is, “where your inner artists meets your social circle.” “I was in corporate banking for 28 years, but art has always been my passion,” she said. “What we’re doing here is creating a fun atmosphere where people are talking and
being social, while also being creative and getting a chance to express themselves.” Offering classes that are typically two or three hours groups come in and receive stepby-step instruction. They’re also welcome to bring in food, wine or other beverages for their party. “We’ve kept it simple,” Farias said. “I’ve instructed throughout my life and I have a number of other great, fun instructors.” When groups come in they pay for either an 8 x 10 or 16 x 20 canvas. From there all their art supplies including acrylic paints, brushes, aprons, easels along with tables and stools are

tour Continued from page 1 from the works of nearly 90 Sonoran Art League artists. “I’m excited and honored,” Boggs said. “It’s the first time a three-dimensional piece has been chosen.” Boggs and four other Sonoran Arts League artists will be designing and offering their creations at Studio 38. Added to this year’s tour is an exhibition by Cave Creek Unified School District students. Sonoran Arts League, a longtime supporter of student art and provider of art scholarships, will feature a Youth Art Exhibition at the Desert Foothills Library – also known as Studio 1. Select pieces by budding young artists from kindergarten through senior high school will be displayed. Also scheduled is a bus tour for more than 50 Cactus Shadows High School art students and their teachers, compliments of Sonoran Arts League on Friday, November 16. The bus will be loaded with advanced placement art seniors, promising art students from juniors on down to freshmen and several International Baccalaureate students with an interest in art. The League’s intent is to show off studios with a variety of work and connect students with artists. Some studios also offer hands-on experiences. 2012 Chairman Karen Budan oversees the flow, structure and logistics of HITH, which will enable the community to meet the largest group of artists in
the event’s history. “This is a thrill for me,” Budan said. “To be among such a wide variety of professional artists who have dedicated their lives to art or have made second careers of becoming artists is amazing. I love sharing the excitement with so many appreciative people.” This year’s event is set for 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Nov. 16-18 and Nov.23-25. Admission is free. The Tour is self guided. Each week leading up to the event The Foothills Focus will profile a different artists that will be showning their work during the event.

Cactus Shadows gets defensive, interception seals win MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
Marc Buckhout/The Foothills Focus
Cactus Shadows senior running back Mike Thompson finishes off a run during Friday’s 14-10 win over Goldwater. The win improved the Falcons record to 2-4 on the season. On Friday the Falcons host Horizon, looking to improve to 3-4 on the season. To view more photos from Friday’s game go to facebook.com/ thefoothills.focus.
A week after senior quarterback Bryce Kinsler threw for six touchdowns and a state record 639 yards in a 63-49 loss to Prescott, a point barrage worthy of an Arena Football League game, the Cactus Shadows Falcons brought an end to a 2-game skid in a 14-10 slugfest win over 1-5 Goldwater. “Obviously it wasn’t very pretty, but we’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day,” Cactus Shadows coach Greg Davis said. A defense which has been torched throughout the first half of the season, bent, but rarely broke against a physical Goldwater running attack. And after Kinsler attempted 60 passes in the loss to the Badgers the Falcons leaned more on their running game
duo of seniors R.J. Anderson and Mike Thompson in improving to 2-4. “Well, you have to assume that they spent most of their week preparing for our passing game. That only makes sense, so we took what they gave us,” Davis said. After the Falcons jumped to a 14-0 lead on Kinsler’s second touchdown pass of the half Goldwater responded, getting a touchdown in the final minute of the first half and then converting a 26-yard field goal with 1:05 left in the third quarter, leaving the team from Cave Creek to protect a precarious 14-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Cactus Shadows falls in test against state contender MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
The frustration and disappointment was clearly evident in the eyes of Cactus Shadows coach Michelle Gardiner following her team’s Sept. 25 matchup against Notre Dame, a 3-set sweep doled out by the Saints 25-21, 25-22, 25-12. As much as seeing her team’s nine-match winning streak come to a halt was upsetting, it was her belief that her Falcons team didn’t come with anything approaching its best in a possible playoff preview against the Saints, who sit at No. 1 in the Section II power ratings. “We had our moments, but we’re a very good serve receive team and tonight we didn’t pass the ball well at all. We didn’t even better balls that were initially mishandled. In a lot of cases we made them worse.”
Marc Buckhout/The Foothills Focus
To view more photos from the Falcons match go to facebook. com/thefoothills.focus.
The poor passing put more pressure on sophomore setter Kelly Hajek who was filling in for senior Kelsey Marks, who missed the game due to an ankle injury. Despite the adversity the Falcons (14-5) were extremely competitive in each of the first two sets. In the opening set Cactus Shadows’ last lead came at 3-2, but they never trailed by more than four throughout.
Down 17-13 the No. 4 ranked team in the Div-II power ratings rattled off five of the next six points to pull even with Notre Dame (11-0) at 18 as senior Madi Horn smoked a kill down the line. Horn, though, then followed with a serve that went deep, dousing the momentum, and giving the serve back to the Saints. “I don’t know if it was because of who we were playing or because we had our biggest crowd of the season, which was great to have them, but for whatever reason I think we played nervous,” she said. “Mentally weak teams don’t get serves in during close matches. That’s not us, but it happened in key spots tonight.” Undaunted by falling in the match’s opening set, the Falcons battled backand-forth with Notre Dame in the second set. After falling behind 7-3 early, the host Falcons responded with eight of the next nine points, a run led by the jump serves of junior Katie Hanraha, whose efforts gave the Saints fits and the Falcons an 11-8 advantage. Her run of six straight points was eventually broken by a net serve. From there the two teams went back-and-forth with the set being tied at 18, 19, 20 and 21. A powerful hitting Saints team, initially struggled to deal with senior middle Carly Lenzen, but figured out how to direct their attacks elsewhere. In closing out the second set the Saints got a pair of kills from Megan Salamun and one from Genevieve Pirotte. The Falcons fell behind 5-2 early in set three and never got the final set even, with the Saints pulling away with five straight points to make the score 16-7 on their way to a 25-12 final. “Bottom line is we had a lot of people that didn’t do their jobs,” Gardiner said. Senior Jennifer Long led the Falcons in the loss, contributing nine kills to go along with two

blocks and six digs. After winning nine straight matches prior to the Sept. 25 defeat the Falcons fell again on Thursday, this time getting swept against the Trojans of Paradise Valley High School by the score of 25-19, 25-15, 25-22 On Tuesday the Falcons looked to halt their losing
streak when they played host to Goldwater (results unavailable at press time). Tonight they get another crack at Notre Dame when they hit the road to face the Saints in a match set for 6 p.m.

The Jaguars, like the Falcons,
went into Tuesday’s matchup with North Canyon looking to end a losing streak (results unavailable at press time). Despite the 4-game slide the Jaguars had a 14-10 record on the season. On Thursday the Jaguars, ranked No. 23 in the Div-I power ratings, face No. 1 Centennial.

Scottsdale hosts 12th annual film festival MONTE YAZZIE SPECIAL FOR THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS
The 12th annual Scottsdale Film Festival returns to Harkins Shea Theatre this weekend, running from Friday thru Tuesday. Lanyard wearing, schedule highlighted movie fans have an opportunity to watch a balanced blend of films from all over the world. While most of these films will not get major theatrical release they are nonetheless passionate films from promising talents. Last year’s festival garnered 8,500 moviegoers over the course of the record-breaking weekend. This year proves equally promising with an impressive lineup. The opening night film is Fred Schepsi’s Eye of the Storm starring Judy Davis, Charlotte
Rampling, and Geoffrey Rush. The drama surrounds an ailing wealthy woman, her house staff, and children who are all coming to terms with life, death, and ultimately the compassion that comes with both. While the opening night spotlight will shine on bigger films, the thrill of the festival comes in the form of the discovery of the unexpected. Toll Booth, a film from Turkey, surrounds a lonely tollbooth operator who is reassigned to a desolate country road. There he dreams of love and new directions for his life, but is it all too late for him? Shooting Secrets is a Native American drama about a wayward family reunited to the reservation by sudden illness. Juan in a Million is
a genre film that follows a college student who wakes up to an abandoned city, left behind without answers. These are just a few of the many films on deck at the SFF. Festival Founder and Executive Director, Amy Ettinger, takes a balanced approach to the films in the festival, offering something for every film taste. Ettinger aspires to make the SFF the southwest version of the New York Film Festival, and with the wonderful catalog of films on display and her ambitious enthusiasm, the festival is well on its way to accomplishing just that. Numerous ticket options and festival information are available online at ScottsdaleFilmFestival.com.

Ruby Farias, the owner of Me The Artist, is planning a one year anniversary celebration from 5:30 - 9 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the studio, located at 5355 E. High St. in Phoenix.
supplied for them. Groups select the subject matter they want to paint ahead of time from a wide variety of what Farias calls ‘Me’sterpieces of the day’ as posted on the website calendar at metheartist.com. Sessions are open for anywhere from 5-70 people. Average cost per person is $40. The owner emphasizes that all levels of artists are welcome. “We’ve had ages 3 to 99,” she said. “We really simplify it so anybody can do it. We’ve had engineers in here and they’ve had a good time. It’s really a therapeutic escape. You just have to allow it to happen. I tell people that are new to painting that there are no mistakes. They just have to breathe and let go.” The studio has different events designated for children, ones for couples and a variety of other theme night events. Along with hosting events at her 2,000 foot studio located just north of the 101 at 5355 E. High Street, Space 109 in Phoenix,
Farias said she and her fellow artists can also be scheduled for parties at private residences. The one-year anniversary party, from 5:30 – 9 p.m. on Oct. 26, will feature two complimentary instructorled paint sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to paint an 8 x 10 canvas during one of two sessions, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Donations will be accepted that evening in lieu of a paint session fee, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Phoenix Youth at Risk, a local non-profit that helps at-risk and homeless children and teens learn to dream again through structured mentoring programs. Guests will also enjoy complimentary cocktails, appetizers, raffle prizes and live music. Reservations for the anniversary event paint sessions are recommended and spots can be held by visiting metheartist. com. For information call 480-822-7999.

officer from page 1 fund has been set up to take care of maintenance costs for the memorial, the fund doesn’t have enough in it as this point to cover the expenses. One of the last items of the evening was a presentation by representatives from Goodwill, who were seeking a variance in order to open one of their stores at 3440 W. Anthem Way, the property that was home to Ace Hardware. The presentation made by Tim O’Neal, a regional manager for Goodwill, centered on what he said was a dated misconception of Goodwill. O’Neal described the current Goodwill shopper as a soccer mom with a household income of approximately $50,000. He added that 35 percent of the customers making purchases at the 1565 W. Happy Valley Road location are from Anthem. While O’Neal professed that Goodwill would be a good neighbor in the community, describing the aesthetics of the stores interiors, to the company’s policies on taking in
donations, Boates suggested the presentation may have missed the proverbial boat in its focus. “We’re not here today to discuss whether Goodwill is good, bad or indifferent for Anthem,” he said. “We’re looking for a reason you would be eligible for a variance.” The current code for the strip mall prohibits second hand stores from being a tenant. Upon being asked to clarify their request for a variance the hardship circumstance was utilized, citing the region’s economic conditions and the adverse effect the loss of Ace Hardware had had on the remaining businesses. The board went on to debate the merits of Goodwill as did members of the community. In the end the board decided not to make a ruling on the requested variance, but Boates encouraged O’Neal to continue working with the community. The next Anthem Community Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m., Oct. 26 at the Anthem Community Center. That is a Thursday as opposed to the normal Wednesday schedule.

win from page 8 acknowledged that he and his teammates are frustrated with their early season start, but feel they are better than their record indicates. “We’re still meshing,” he said. “On defense it’s just understanding you can only do your job. You can’t try and do too much and get out of position.”
FOR exciting plays from the game, scan the codes below with your smart phone.
The Falcons defense would be put in a tough spot when the Falcons offense failed to convert a 4th-and-2 from their 42 yard-line with nine minutes remaining in the game. Davis said he simply tried to put the game in the hands of the offense. “The biggest thing was I feel like we’ve put a lot of pressure on our defense this year and I thought we could lean on our offense there,” he said. “It’s my fault. I’ll take the blame
for that decision.” When Anderson was stopped short of the first down the Bulldogs took possession with 9:02 left in the game, putting the spotlight on the much maligned Falcons defense once again. After Goldwater collected first downs on back-to-back runs, taking the ball down to the 16-yardline in the process, the Falcons defense stuffed the Bulldogs on three straight runs, leaving them with a 4thand-13 from the 19. With just more than 5 minutes remaining in the game the Bulldogs decided to go for it. Senior quarterback Taylor King-Cooper dropped back to pass, but his pass over the middle was intercepted by Hartlen at the 2-yardline. The safety then returned the ball to the 50-yardline. “It just felt so great to make a play like that,” Hartlen said. “Our confidence has been up and down, but hopefully we can build off a win like this.” With a chance to salt away the win the Falcons leaned on their running game, running the ball seven straight times to move from the 50 to the Goldwater 5. From there they kneeled the ball twice to run out the clock. Anderson carried the ball four times while Thompson carried three times on the game-clinching drive. Thompson, who utilizes a physical, punishing running style to compliment the more elusive Anderson, said he felt as though he needed to make amends for last week’s performance in Prescott.
“I fumbled last week so that was motivation to play better tonight,” he said. “I like playing physical. Hitting people is fun.” On a number of carries Thompson dragged numerous tacklers for additional yardage, efforts that seemed to fire up his teammates. “We keep talking about getting it together,” Thompson said. “Hopefully this will be the start of something. Today both our offense and defense stepped up. That’s what we need every game from now on.” In order to improve to 3-4 the Falcons will likely have to step their game up to another level as they host Horizon at 7 p.m. Friday. The Huskies (5-1) rolled to a 54-3 win over Sunnyslope last week.
BOULDER CREEK
For the second straight season the Jaguars suffered a disappointing loss against Mountain Ridge (3-3). A season after a 10-7 loss to the Mountain Lions sent their season on a nose-dive, that finished with them losing four of their final six games, Mountain Ridge came to Anthem and left with a 37-14 victory. The Mountain Lions shutout the Jaguars 13-0 in the first half and scored the game’s first 20 points before Boulder Creek finally got on the board. The Jaguars (4-2) will try and rebound in Phoenix Friday when they take on North Canyon. The Rattlers (0-6) fell to Desert Mountain 42-24 on Friday. Specializing in

opinions and letters
Anthem man underwhelmed by American Water Well I haven’t complained about anything in a long time but given the “state” of the union, the insane cost of college, and a generally insecure economy maybe indicating that the U.S. has seen it’s better days- I got something in the email today that was supposed to scare me into paying $60 per year for insurance on the section of pipe on my side of the property line that brings the water that American Water Co. sells to me at a very profitable price (compared to the city of Phoenix and other places). Did anybody else in Anthem get one of these easy to return, postage pre-paid, Homeowner Water
Line Repair Advisory postcards (warnings) in the mail lately? At $60 per year (plus sales tax) a subsidiary of aforementioned water co. will insure us against water pipe damages that could cost us out of pocket upwards to $5,000 Wow. How thoughtful of American Water! Multiply $60 (probably more in Country Club) times the 8,762 housing units in Anthem and American Water has just taken in well over half a million dollars in just one year. That’s “if” we all acquiesce to the threat and pay up for our own as they put it, “peace of mind”. I would think half a mil could repair quite a few pipes, ya?
Besides educating us to the (fact?) that we are responsible for the maintenance costs of damaged pipes between the water main and our house, they described all the possible reasons our pipes could break. Let’s see now: extreme temperature variations, presence and extent of vegetation and tree roots and also age of service lines (hell, Anthem’s only 13 years old) and my favorite-type of service line material. Service line material? Wait a minute. Wasn’t it the water company who chose the materials used in piping water to us? If a pipe fails due to defective or low quality
materials then shouldn’t the folks who built the pipe be responsible for damage?? Come on now. I’m responsible for faulty materials? Who knows, maybe they used inferior materials to start with knowingly and if not, just caught on that their pipes are reaching planned or unplanned obsolescence and are wisely trying to pass the costs of the repair on us rather than absorbing the loss themselves. How do I know that a superior product constructed properly wouldn’t have resisted the “possible” damage that I am now supposed to worry about?
The whole deal stinks if you ask me. It’s just another way for a large business entity to nickel and dime us to death. Tell you what. If your pipe does break, call the landscapers and have them dig out the ditch for a hundred bucks. Then call Joe the plumber and let him finish this unlikely job. I’d rather support a small local business with my money than continue to feed it into the insatiable appetites of corporations. Oh wait! I forgot-corporations are people too. Right? Harv Rabichow, Anthem
An American Original Leaves Voluntarily War is hellish and hateful. But even more hateful is the “c h i c k e n hawk” who SHIELDS cheerleads and champions war while ducking any personal risk of engagement for himself, his blood relatives or his social peers. These are the toughtalking, think-tank commandos in and out of Washington, including the press corps, who love to expropriate the language of the combat they have done everything to personally escape. Army Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf silenced the flatterers who tried to lionize him after his successful leadership in the Persian Gulf War: “It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.” Nobody understands that hard truth better than Sen.

Jim Webb, who has chosen to leave the U.S. Senate after serving a single six-year term from Virginia. Long before he would become the first graduate of the Naval Academy to serve as Secretary of the Navy, under President Ronald Reagan, 23-year-old Webb was a Marine company commander in Vietnam combat where he earned the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Proud of his service in that war, Webb has never hesitated to challenge directly those who, so often as a first resort, urge sending American Marines and soldiers once more into harm’s way. Rebuking those national security types who are able to reduce flesh and bone into policy abstractions, Webb has been emphatic: You don’t use ‘force.’ You send young people who have dreams, who want a future.” By 32, Webb had written “Fields of Fire,” which Tom Wolfe called “the finest of the
Vietnam novels” and in which a Marine sergeant returns to Vietnam for a second tour after visiting his hometown in the States and says: “Lieutenant, you’d hardly know there was a war going on. It’s in the papers ... but that’s it. Airplane drivers still drive their airplanes. Businessmen still run their businesses. College kids go to college. It’s like nothing really happened except to other people. It isn’t touching anybody except us.” Vietnam then, Iraq after that, and Afghanistan now. History teaches us the painful truth that the strength of a nation is measured directly by the will and the resolve of the people of that nation to stand together through individual and universal sacrifice for the common good. War demands equality of sacrifice. Yet we, the vast majority of Americans, have shown in the 21st century that we prefer instead to pay no price, to bear no burden, thank you.
This past week, introducing President Obama to a Virginia crowd, Webb reminded his audience that at least one American politician was capable of straight talk. Referring to Gov. Mitt Romney’s “comments about the culture of dependency in our society,” Webb continued: “Gov. Romney and I are about the same age. Like millions of others in our generation, we came to adulthood facing the harsh realities of the Vietnam War. ... This was a time of conscription where every American male was eligible to be drafted. ... I have never envied or resented any of the choices that were made as long as they were done within the law... “These young Marines that I led have grown older now. They’ve lived lives of courage, both in combat and after their return, where many of them were derided by their own peers for having served. That was a long time ago. They are
not bitter. They know what they did. But in receiving veterans’ benefits, they are not takers. They were givers, in the ultimate sense of that word. There is a saying among war veterans: ‘All gave some, some gave all.’ This isn’t a culture of dependency. It is part of a long tradition that gave this country its freedom and independence. They paid, some with their lives, some through wounds and disabilities, some through emotional scars, some through lost opportunities and delayed entry into civilian careers which had already begun for many of their peers who did not serve.” Washington doesn’t understand how much it will miss Mr. Webb of Virginia.
