Baker is Anthem’s new executive director BY ALLISON BROWN Foothills Focus Staff Writer
A
fter months of searching, the Anthem Community Council Board of Directors named Aaron Baker the new executive director. Baker begins his role Dec. 1. Baker is coming to Anthem from Mesquite, Nevada, where he has spent the past 15 years working in public service. He started as an assistant planner and GIS analyst and worked his way up to city manager. Besides his work experience, Baker earned master’s in public administration from the University of Nevada. “Aaron is anxious to move with his family to Anthem and get started with the tasks of being the executive director, to help the community’s staff and board keep Anthem the premier place to live, work, and enjoy the quality of life that we
all expect,” said Bob McKenzie, chair of the ACC Board of Directors in a statement. Baker could not be reached for comment. The executive director serves as city manager and chief executive officer. They are responsible for managing millions of dollars for the annual budget, reserve fund and assets; 100 full-time employees and 100 part-time or seasonal employees; and the maintenance of facilities. “Generally, what the executive director does is manage the organization, direct traffic for three senior executives and execute orders from the board of directors,” McKenzie said. “We have a couple of (projects) in the works that would fall to the executive director.” Anthem has been searching for a new executive director since July. The position was previously held by board chairman Terry Mullarkey. He volunteered to step in as an interim executive director in September 2020 to help during

ground and experience, McKenzie said it was important to the council that the new executive director matches the Anthem Way values such as treating people with respect and maintaining fiscal responsibility. Baker was chosen from a national search conducted by an independent, third-party firm that sent the job posting out to thousands of potential candidates. McKenzie said Baker’s background in public service has given him expansive knowledge in planning, economic development, working with local government, budgeting and motivating staff. Baker comes to the executive director position after unexpectedly resigning from his city manager position in May. The thorough application and selection process found Baker to have a character aligning with the Anthem Way values on top of his extensive experience for the position. “With his strong work ethic, experience working with city councils and with city staff at all levels, and good sense of humor, Aaron will fit right in with our excellent team,” McKenzie said. “The council is excited that Aaron accepted the job, and he is anxious to get here and get to work.”

Brnovich amends vaccine lawsuit to include first responders BY SARA EDWARDS Cronkite News
A
rizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has amended his lawsuit against the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, adding the Phoenix police and fire unions as co-plaintiffs. He and union officials argued that the mandate will worsen staff shortages. The complaint, which Brnovich filed in September, was amended Nov. 19 to include the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association and the United Phoenix Firefighters Association Local 493 after the city announced that employees must get vaccinated against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 by Jan. 18. City officials say that because Phoenix has several contracts with the U.S. government, it is a federal contractor and subject
to the Biden order. According to a news release from Brnovich’s office, multiple police officers, firefighters and other first responders who chose not to get the COVID-19 vaccination now fear losing their jobs, which prompted the attorney general to amend his lawsuit to include the police and fire unions. Phoenix employees seeking a religious or medical exemption must request it by Dec. 31, according to published reports. “First responders should never have to choose between their jobs or livelihood,” he said during a news conference. “The Biden administration’s unconstitutional mandates are not only an infringement on individual liberty, but a fringe on the principles of federalism and violate traditional notions of separation of powers.” Arizona was the first state to
challenge President Joe Biden’s mandate requiring federal employees and contractors to be vaccinated by the January deadline. Brnovich also is part of multistate efforts that challenge Occupational Safety and Health Administration and health care worker mandates. OSHA’s requirement for companies with 100 or more employees to be fully vaccinated or tested on at least a weekly basis, has been paused by legal challenges. In court records, Brnovich, who is running for U.S. Senate, called the mandate “patently unfair, clearly devoid of common sense, and manifestly unlawful.” “I would emphasize that this is not an issue about the science or efficiency of whether vaccines are effective,” he said. “It’s a fundamental question of, ‘Does the federal government have the right
or have the ability to mandate vaccines?’” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego shared her support for the federal vaccine mandate with ABC15 after the city’s vaccine deadline was announced, saying “this federal program is going to save lives.” Fire Capt. Bryan Willingham, vice president of the United Phoenix Firefighters Association, said the lawsuit is not a “political battle” for the association but rather a form of addressing a “crisis for the community” should unvaccinated employees be terminated. Willingham, who is vaccinated, said the association supports its members’ right to choose when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine and that the vaccination controversy is “dividing” and “hurting the community.”

“We’ve been part of an organization that has always been there for our community,” he said. “We don’t get involved in those personal choices. We protect our members because they’re our family, and they have families that need us.” According to reports, only 25% of Phoenix police officers and firefighters have voluntarily submitted proof of vaccination. The mandate also comes during what police and fire departments call staffing shortages. Yvette Bro, vice president of the police union, said a survey it conducted found more than 600 members who said they would leave if they were forced to get a COVID-19 vaccine, adding that the police department “can’t afford to lose one officer.” “Our focus is, we intend to keep every single officer and we need to be able to fight for their right to choose,” she said. Willingham said Phoenix fire-

fighters have already seen the stress that the pandemic has brought.

H
ow was your Black Friday? If you were one of the brave souls who headed out to shop, I hope you survived the ordeal. It may be the season of giving, but the spending happens first. So many presents to buy and so little money. Hmm, what are we to do? Evidently keep shopping, because the average American will spend about $1,000 on Christmas presents this year! Guess inflation will not deflate us! Hey, the approaching holidays don’t have to be so stressful! We should be happy to give — and receive — a basket of homemade cookies. Well, that’s if we baked cookies. Actually, I do bake cookies, but with a husband and many grandkids who like my cookies, there will never be any hope of me giving a basket to anyone. My grandmother used to bake fruitcakes and give them to family and friends. A proper English woman, plus a teetotaler, she put enough rum in those cakes to get a family of four tipsy. One bite of grandma’s cake, which was hard as a brick, and it could make your head spin. I recently read that a fruitcake — one that is well fermented — can last in a tin for more than 40 years and still be edible. For the gift that might last a lifetime, perhaps I’ll start my own little tradition of baking fruitcakes.
Oh, if you get one from me, please don’t eat and drive. So, back to shopping. Sometimes Black Friday enhances bad behavior. A woman in Scottsdale was arrested for going to a crowded mall with a large pin. Evidently, she was jabbing other shoppers in a department store with a 2-inch hatpin when she wanted them to move out of her way. People were screaming in pain, running for their lives. Yikes! Hopefully, that outrageous behavior will never happen in our little corner of the world. Getting past the shopping, the season of magic is here. There is so much more to the holidays than sim-

Forlorn phone calls that will never be answered BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Foothills Focus Columnist
A
ll his life, 75 years, my father was careful with his money, so he would be appalled by the waste. He never liked to spend a dollar, not when he could save a buck. My dad passed away in March, though, which means the decision isn’t his to make anymore. So the phone stays on, even though there’s no one left to answer it. The line rings four times before it passes over to voicemail. The message is a perfect metaphor for my father: Short, economical, nothing needless. He must have recorded the greeting a decade ago, when he and my mother finally decided to get rid of the ancient answering machine they’d had since time immemorial. The phone company must have sent them a coupon. It’s just two sentences. “Hi, this is Harvey,” he says. “Go ahead and leave a message.” So I do. Even though I’m well aware that no one will ever get back to me. Sometimes I tell my dad about my day: What’s going on at work, which clients have which problems, how I’m hitting the golf ball, how I’m doing on my diet. Other times I tell him which moments sparked memories of him and my mom. Usually it’s a song

ply packages under a tree. Of course, those packages do matter, especially if you have children or grandkids who are busy making their wish lists. I used to get little handwritten requests from the grandboys with items like, “truck, ball, power ranger” scrawled on festive note paper. Now I get a text that says things like, “camping, fishing or biking gear.” I used to love getting their lists. Now I just run (with my wallet) and hide when I see their texts. Dear readers, shop wisely and
on the radio. My parents loved music from the ‘60s and ‘70s: Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Beatles, John Denver. When I called last week, it was brought on by a song: “Black Water” by the Doobie Brothers. It was a hit in the spring 1975, about the time I turned 10. I know this because that was the spring break my parents packed my brother and I into their Volkswagen Beetle and drove us from New York to Florida to go to Disneyworld. That was back when no one booed at the Hall of Presidents and before they cut out the sexist portions of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride. We spent days packed into the VW, 2,000 miles in each direction, a family of four cramped and too crabby to play license plate bingo. The Doobies played on an endless loop as the FM stations faded in and out. But it was all worth it for the E-ticket rides: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Haunted Mansion, the Jungle Cruise. My father was 30 then, a paint factory worker with a wife and two kids in elementary school. Whatever childhood dreams he’d had for himself – All-Star basketball player for the Knicks, law school, airline pilot — were never going to come true. I imagine he knew it. He owned an old Super 8 movie camera and he shot lots of footage of his sons and his wife, calmly. Bake a fruitcake. Perhaps I will dig up my grandmother’s recipe and rekindle an old tradition. Like my grandma, I’ll taste test everything (a few times) before I mix in the ingredients. Only the best for my friends! So, if you get a little loaf, wrapped carefully in brown paper, please do not confuse this heavy object with a brick, although it could be used as a doorstop. I promise, just one little bite and you’ll discover the “happy” in holidays. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a story or a comment? Email Judy at judy@judybluhm.com.
but not much of himself. My father was always present, though, never the focal point, always right off-screen, circling around us at the edges. Sometimes when I call his phone number now, I wonder aloud about how that made him feel, why my father’s life so rarely seemed to be about him, at least to the people it was about. He doesn’t answer, of course. My father always was a man of few words. He spent them the way he spent his paychecks: Like there was never quite enough to go around. My voicemails to dad’s old number always end with me telling him “I love you.” It was the way we always ended our phone calls back when he was alive. It was a sentence he said with conviction, like it mattered to him, and I never doubted it. Maybe that’s why I still call, even now, even with no one there to answer. To hear his voice. Always there, always nearby. Even from heaven.

A day a 5-year-old will never forget BY J.D. HAYWORTH Foothills Focus Columnist
I
t has come and gone again, that day remembered from so long ago. And with each passing year, the date stirs memories of what was and what might have been. It was a warm day for Nov. 22, 1963. The 5-year-old yearned for snow. The boy had been brought by his mother to the home of his maternal grandparents following his half day of kindergarten at the Jack & Jill Nursery. The boy sat down directly in front of his grandparents’ black-and-white TV set to watch the early afternoon fare on the newest channel available. Midway through a program, a bulletin from ABC News interrupted the show: “Here is a special bulletin from Dallas, Texas: three shots were fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade today in Downtown Dallas.”
The boy sat transfixed, pondering the news he had just heard. Perhaps it was the process of wrapping his 5-year-old brain around the disturbing development. Whatever the reason, it would take three additional bulletins and the introduction of a strange new word to the kindergartener’s vocabulary before he sought out his grandmother. “Nanny, President Kennedy’s been ass-uh-ass-sass..shot!” His grandmother fixed a steely gaze on her eldest grandchild. Gone was the indulgent smile that heretofore softened her features; it had been replaced by a cold stare that unnerved the 5-year-old to a greater extent than the news he had heard in the network bulletins. “John David, you shouldn’t make up stories like that…what a horrible thing to say!” “I’m not making it up, Nanny…the news is on TV…come watch with me!” Before joining her grandson in front of
the television, his grandmother sought out someone she regarded as a more credible source. She called his grandfather, who confirmed the news, saying he had heard about it on the radio playing in his store. When she joined her grandson to watch the coverage, Nanny wondered aloud: “Well, I guess that means Johnson is now the president.” The 5-year-old was clueless about the Constitution. Who is Johnson…and why is he now president? Nanny explained that there is a vice president who becomes president if the chief executive dies in office. Because that had just happened, a man named Lyndon Baines Johnson was now president of the United States. We know the world changed that day. For the kindergartener, the impromptu civics lesson from his grandmother sparked an interest in government that grew to parallel his interest in broadcasting.

Nanny would not live to see her grandson elected to Congress; she was called to her heavenly home less than five years later, at age 63…the current age of her firstborn grandchild. And that grandchild, the author of this column, acknowledges that he is now 17 years older than John F. Kennedy was when he was taken from us on that November day in Dallas. A day that a 5-year-old would never forget.

The PXG company is planning to open approximately 24 stores total by the end of next year, with a commitment to brick -and-mortar retail. The PXG stores, and golf in general, have done well during COVID-19, with golf courses being one of the few businesses allowed to stay open. But the PXG stores don’t just sell golf clubs and clothes, they also have rooms
with golf simulators where players can test clubs and have their swings analyzed by computers and golf experts. “Nothing is sold right off the shelf,” Parsons said. When a customer buys from PXG, they also get the bene�it of a comprehensive “�itting process,” which takes into account the golfers’ skill level, goals, swing tendencies and the golfers’ strength. A self-proclaimed golf nut, Parsons founded PXG in 2014 with the intent to design and develop the world’s �inest golf clubs. The company has become

The Mazda CX-30 Turbo SUV is pleasant to drive on the street.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY C.A. HAIRE Contributing Writer
O
ne of the advantages of Mazda vehicles is their reasonable base price, with this CX-30 starting at only $22,000. However, our example here is loaded up with all the goodies, so reaches a tidy $34,000. This includes $495 for the dark metallic paint job. But charging extra for floormats seemed rather greedy. The base engine is a 2.5-liter putting out 186 horsepower rated at 25/33 mpg. This has the optional upgraded turbo, rated at 227 hp using regular fuel, or 250 with premium blend, hooked to an all-wheel drive system. Gas mileage is claimed to be 22/30. This motor provides brisk acceleration. Real world fuel economy in a week of driving was 22/28. The cabin is nothing fancy but has good features. The glove box is roomy, and the info screen is large with excellent clarity. The climate controls are simple to use. There are paddle shifters on the steering
wheel for manual gear selection. On the negative side, the sun visors poorly block sun from side windows, and there is too much glare reflecting into the gauge cluster. The CX-30 is pleasant to drive on the street. The ride quality is firm but comfortable. We saw a brisk 0-60 mph time of less than 6 seconds. With higher ground clearance than a typical car, and all-wheel traction, the ability to traverse on back dirt trails is very good. Most vehicles in the Mazda line are made in Japan, which has always been a good selling point. Some potential buyers are not happy to hear the CX-30 models are now made in Mexico. As other brands have set up factories there, this situation is likely to be more common.

Margaret Sullivan: Countless other possibilities BY SHEA STANFIELD Foothills Focus Contributing Writer
“C
olor is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, and the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist’s hand plays the keys of form, color, and composition,” Wassily Kandinsky wrote. Inspired by the palette of the great Southwest, gourd artist Margaret Sullivan creates her brilliantly detailed compositions into music for viewers’ eyes. Her gourds are sculpted using dyes, paints, beads, precious stones, feathers, and imagination. Sullivan adds texture to her surfaces with carving and woodburning with remarkable detail. Sullivan is well known for her Kachinas and masks, yet that doesn’t prevent her from exploring countless other possibilities. Hailing from Central Texas, Sullivan moved to Dallas to begin her career as a secretary for a large insurance company before meeting her husband.
Margaret Sullivan’s pieces are bold and powerful, yet whimsical. (Photo courtesy of Margaret

van became one of the first artists and manager of a co-op gallery in Fountain Hills, where she has mentored many second acts into art experiences. Ten years ago, a fellow artist approached Sullivan about opening a second gallery in Scottsdale. Easier said than done, but where there is a will, there is a way. A group from the original gallery pulled together, found a location, created a budget and a plan for the operation. They persuaded five of the Fountain Hills Gallery Board of Directors to launch On the Edge Gallery in Scottsdale. Its independent sister gallery was born. “I was proud to manage On the Edge Gallery the first four years of operation, and I’m still serving on its board of directors,” Sullivan recalled. In addition to exhibiting her work in both galleries, Sullivan shows her work privately at her home east of Scottsdale. Each fall and winter, she holds six to seven workshops to inspire others to join the arts community. As if Sullivan isn’t busy enough, she is also a member of the American Gourd Society, the Arizona Gourd Society and the Verdes Art League. Sullivan invites guests to drop in at either gallery, The Fountain Hills Artist Gallery (fountainhillsartistsgallery.com) or On the Edge Gallery (ontheedgegallery.com). She can be reached at msull3519@aol. com.

The couple soon relocated to Parker, Colorado. During this time, she was
raising three children and becoming involved with tennis as an outlet. “I enjoyed playing the game and eventually became involved at the state level managing the tennis portion of the country club where we belonged,” she said. Then, she realized she could expand new interests and options. “The children began to leave for college, and the responsibilities for our aging parents lessened so we decided to begin our ‘second’ life, as retirees, moving to the Phoenix area,” she said. Sullivan was introduced to gourds, as an artform, by a friend. She was immediately taken by the diverse possibilities that could be explored with the medium. “My inspiration is found in every aspect of life; the color of fabric, the shape of a piece of jewelry, the word in a book, everything has more than one meaning or purpose,” Sullivan said. Experiencing Sullivan’s work is a true testament to her philosophy, “Every piece speaks on its own.” “Earth Elements” by Margaret Sullivan.

Foothills teachers see their wishes granted BY FOOTHILLS FOCUS STAFF
A
lthough Thanksgiving was technically celebrated on Nov. 25 this year, 400 Arizona teachers — including more than 60 in the West Valley — feted it early. During the first days of November, in what has become an annual tradition to honor, support and celebrate Arizona’s teachers, the Fiesta Bowl Organization awarded $1 million to teachers through the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program. “They may not wear capes, but teachers are real-life superheroes. They give tirelessly to their students and Wishes for Teachers is our opportunity to reward them for their efforts,” said Jeff Meshey, president and CEO at Desert Financial. “Desert Financial was founded by teachers. We continue their legacy by returning as the title partner for this
year’s Wishes for Teachers, in partnership with Fiesta Bowl Charities. Teachers often pay for school supplies out of their own pockets, so there’s no greater way to express our gratitude than by granting their classroom wishes.” Through a three-day Virtual Draft Day presented by Salt River Project (SRP), 400 teachers from K-12 schools were each given $2,500 to grant a wish in their classrooms. The winners were chosen based on a program in the fall wherein any Arizona K-12 teacher filled out an online application detailing a school or classroom need. The wishes were then verified and selected by random drawing for teachers to receive a grant. Over the six years of the program, Fiesta Bowl Wishes for Teachers has granted $4.7 million to more than 1,200 Arizona teachers, impacting more than 500,000 children across the state. “I love Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl
Charities Draft Day presented by SRP, it is so exciting when we call each teacher to let them know their name was selected as a grant recipient,” said Patrick Barkley, chairman of the Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors. “Wishes for Teachers is well-known around the state as the preeminent program for teacher support. My mom was a teacher, and we all know teachers who inspire us with their selfless work.” This year, the 400 teachers represent 300 schools in 63 cities across the state, educating more than 200,000 students in 84 districts over 75 subjects, from social studies to special education, literature to leadership, music to math. Through the program, here is just a sampling of classroom wishes being granted: • Daniel Quinones, a math teacher at Ridgeline High School in Anthem, will purchase scientific calculators for his class.

• Irene Camarasa, a science and social studies teacher at Desert Willow Elementary School in Cave Creek, will purchase equipment and resources for the school newspaper. • Rayann Gionet, an occupational health teacher at Paradise Valley High School, will purchase updated hospital beds for the health class.

The gleaming and glistening mutuality CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Pastor Ed Delph Foothills Focus Columnist
I
f there is one thing that defines authentic leadership, it’s mutuality. Mutuality is the sharing of a feeling, action or relationship between two or more parties. Authentic leadership creates an environment for win-win solutions, when and where possible. Authentic leadership is lifting people and organizations as compared to tearing them down. Zig Ziglar said, “You can get everything you want if you help enough others to get what they want.” Leadership is less “me” and more “we.” Authentic leadership is more being “the guide by their side” than the ever-popular, media-driven “sage on the stage.” Allow me to illustrate mutuality in this true story that was a life-changer for two famous men in John Maxwell’s book, “The Power of Partnership in the Church.” The article is entitled, “What if You Held the Record.” Here is their story. “If you knew anything about the history of the Olympics, you probably know the name, Bob Richards. He is the only man to win gold medals in the pole vault in two different Olympics Games. And his feat is a testament to the fact that victories are the result of both hard work and beneficial relationships. “Years ago, when Bob was trying to break the record for the pole vault held by Cornelius ‘Dutch’ Warmerdam, he kept falling short, no matter what method he attempted. It frustrated him. He knew he had the potential to be the best in the world at his sport, but he discovered that there weren’t many people who could help him improve. Of course, he was already one of the best in the world, but no matter which coach he talked to, he couldn’t find any new insight to help him. “As he wracked his brain, he could think of only one person who had the knowledge to help him – Dutch Warmerdam himself! But how could he ask Dutch to help him break his record?
It seemed so far-fetched, but he could think of no other option, not if he would improve on his best vault. “Finally, he called Dutch. He decided to be polite but bold. ‘Dutch, can you help me?’ Bob asked. “I seem to have leveled off. I can’t jump any higher.’ There was no hesitation. ‘Sure, Bob,’ Dutch answered. ‘Come on up to visit me, and I’ll give you all I’ve got.’ Bob was dumbfounded. Here was the greatest pole vaulter in the world—the master — and he was willing to help Bob try to break his world record. “Bob spent three days with Dutch, and, true to his word, the world record holder gave him everything he had. He corrected Bob’s technique and pointed out things to help him improve. He became Bob’s encourager, motivator and coach. As a result, Bob added an incredible 8 inches to his best vault. In the process, he won a gold medal — and set a new world record. “What kind of person is willing to help another to eclipse his accomplishments? A partner. Partners put the other person’s success ahead of their own.” Talk about a win-win. That’s leadership. My gift is for your benefit and my benefit. Can you imagine this happening in our current us/them, win/lose, right/ wrong, “Me Tarzan/You Jane,” or “Me Jane/You Tarzan,” or “Us Tarzan/Them Jane” world? Mutuality is not adversarial. Mature leaders know that their achievement does not require someone else’s failure. Remember, a chip on the shoulder usually requires wood higher up. We can glean some principles, values and lessons from Bob Richards and Dutch Warmerdam mutuality experience. If applied, these lessons can take us from small to tall and to heaps of blessings to others and ourselves. First, Bob understood that he was not smart enough to improve alone, and he was not dumb enough to try to improve alone. You can be better than others without coaching, but you will never be your best without coaching. That’s mutuality.
Second, notice how Bob embraced the need for mutuality. He had a reality and humility check. He had the integrity and honesty to assess where he was and where he would end up going without mutuality. The problem with self-reliance is that it gains momentum as it goes along. Many people refuse to have a reality check about narcissism until it’s too late. Their autobiography is entitled, “The Life I Meant to Live.” Third, Bob acknowledged the reality, but he could see the remedy. Bob took the risk of his life and asked someone better than him for help. He dared to access a secure asset. Bob understood winners focus on winning, and losers focus on winners. Bob chose to focus on winning, not his competitor. Hint: Don’t be around people who see your growth as a competition. If we can’t be happy for one another, we won’t have mutuality. Fourth, let’s consider Dutch. Because Dutch was secure in his soul, he was not threatened by another competitor asking him for help. He had humility which is a path to greatness. When you give what you have away, life works. When you hoard what you have, life tends to crumble. Your giftedness is for others’ benefit. Lastly, remember, you can’t be successful until you find a successor. Dutch, the competitor, became a mentor and coach. The sage on the stage became the guide by their side. A mentor’s philosophy is, “Lead not from the head, so you are over them. Lead not from the feet so that you are under them. Lead from
25
the heart so that you are beside them.” When a mentor’s hands no longer work, the works of their hand will continue to keep on working. One final question, “What if you held the record?” Ed Delph is a noted author of 10 books, as well as a pastor, teacher, former business owner and speaker. Ed has traveled extensively, having been to more than 100 countries. He is president of NationStrategy, a nonprofit organization involved in uplifting and transforming communities worldwide.
