Phoenix Rescue Mission For more than 58 years, Phoenix Rescue Mission has served as a beacon of hope and a safe haven for thousands of homeless and working poor individuals and families in desperate need through the provision of food, clothing, shelter, water, hope, encouragement and compassion. The Trends Charitable Fund supports the Family & Community Outreach. Food boxes, clothing, and disposable diapers are among the items given away to the poor. The ministry to working poor families also includes an annual Easter event, Back to School event, Thanksgiving food box giveaway and the Christmas Adopt-a-Family program. The staff members continue their outreach with the Hope Coach, taking food, water, Bibles and encouragement out to homeless people in local area parks. ONGOING NEEDS: Non-perishable foods: We provide emergency food boxes to families in need, as well as cooking three meals daily on the premises. Some of the items needed for food boxes are: canned fruits and vegetables, canned tuna or salmon, soup, spaghetti, macaroni & cheese, peanut butter, rice, dry beans and cereal. Meats and dairy: Because the majority of these items come from the food bank, there is a limited supply. The Mission can always use more hamburger meat, chicken, eggs, milk and lunch meats. CURRENTLY NEEDED ITEMS: • New and gently used blankets & sleeping bags • Jackets & hooded sweatshirts • Sweat pants • New knit caps, gloves, socks & scarves • Brown Lunch Bags, Ziplock Bags • Razors, Toothbrushes & Toothpaste • Socks – Men’s & Women’s, New • Underwear – Men’s & Women’s, New, All Sizes

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
MASKer Aide Night Gala
The MASKer Aide Night Gala will take place Oct. 1 outside under the stars at the home of the MASK founder and president. Hosts Kimberly and Rick Cabral will graciously open their north Scottsdale home for the event, which will include live music, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, live and silent auctions and special guests. Kimberly and Pam Baumann, MASK vice-president, tell us about the mission. What is the mission of MASK and why did you feel the need to create Mother’s Awareness on School Age Kids? Our mission is to educate both parents and children about the issues facing our youth today and to empower our children to make safe, healthy choices. For example, parents and children need to be aware of the implications associated with cyber bullying and texting. How do you educate parents and children and what topics do you cover? MASK has partnered with the Attorney General’s Office and was trained to be part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. THE ICAC Task Force Program was created to help local state and local law enforcement agencies enhance their investigative response to offenders who use the Internet, online communication systems, or other computer technology to sexually exploit children. Why should someone attend the MASKer Aide Night Gala? The lavish cocktail reception will feature wine tasting, live music, and a putting raffle for the gentlemen. The festivities will continue with special guest appearances from the Valley’s professional athletes and a silent and live auction. Why should someone support MASK? All you have to do is read the newspaper or watch the news to see how many children are affected by drugs or cyber bullying, eating disorders, etc. We have found that it is never too early to start educating parents and children. MASK follows Drug Free Arizona’s five-year rule guide, which encourages parents to start conversations with kids about the risks of using specific drugs five years prior to when they would typically be exposed. Who benefits from the Gala? The community. MASK educates from kindergarten to college, parents to faculty. All proceeds from the Gala benefit MASK’s programs and mission. The MASK goal is to offer free awareness programs and create positive healthy opportunities in which children can get involved. These activities will ultimately strengthen the children at their core and empower them to deal with peer-pressure situations. For more information, call 480.502.5337 or visit www.azmask.org.

on my mind
Why Rome Fell By Bill Macomber My summer reading: “How Rome Fell: Death of a Superpower.” Adrian Goldsworthy gives a detailed and disheartening look at the last 300 years of the greatest Superpower on earth as its Western Empire decayed. In one form or another, Romans dominated the known Western world longer than anyone else. They brought law, brutality, peace, extortion, taxation, infrastructure and culture to people who hadn’t risen much above the level of the tribe. The rule of the day for all humans was conquest. Romans didn’t invent that. They merely disciplined themselves to create a government and military system that gave them an edge. The system spawned a fiercely competitive culture among Roman ruling class males. The competition created men like Julius Caesar, who doubled the size of Rome’s influence. What Rome did better than anyone else was manufacture able leadership. Now for the fall. I won’t keep you in suspense: Rome fell under the weight of its success. Empire expanded. Wealth exploded. Hyper-ambitious men relied on armies as a buttress against competitors. The light of self-governance dimmed. Rule by military strongman was born. Armies became loyal to the man who led and fed them instead of to Rome. Men became loyal to the armies that ensured their survival. Rome came second. Toward the end, Roman emperors sometimes lasted only weeks. Civil war was common. The army declared a man emperor, then killed him a month later because a rival promised more. As Romans fought each other, enemies pounced. Goth and Vandal tribes, which Rome had handled with ease, took advantage of civil war, sacked Rome, and established kingdoms. There were other factors. But Goldsworthy’s premise is simple: Personal success grew more important than common good. It’s a testament to Rome’s power that it lasted as long as it did given such short-sightedness. That’s “how” Rome fell. The “why”? The book’s final sentence quotes a history student who, upon hearing the dreary story of ambition, competition and decay, observed: “People are stupid, aren’t they?”

TRENDS IN FLORAL DESIGN
The White House By Dennis Thompson, The White House Design Studio Whether it’s a grand charity ball, the wedding of your dreams, a luncheon or a dinner party in your back yard, flowers play a key role. Who can resist their appeal? As we move through the seasons in the Valley, we can see some of the trends at work in floral design. I picked a few of my favorites to showcase floral design in the second best way to seeing them live: photography. The Barrow Ball is always spectacular, no matter what. It’s on the top socialites’ and philanthropists’ calendars every year as a “must do.” It is elegant for many reasons: the ever-fabulous Arizona Biltmore Resort and its Grand Ballroom, the exclusive size of the ball, hovering around 350 attendees, the extraordinary Barrow Neurological Center as the beneficiary, to name a few. Our 2010 Barrow Ball design used bright orange and fuchsia colors to make the room really pop when guests arrived. The chairs, Mrs. Stephen Evans and Mrs. Gregory Denk, had excellent eyes for design and great input from the start. We worked as a team, stayed within the budget, and came up with the brightly colored pomanders in hot pink and persimmon tones that hung throughout the ballroom, bringing the colors down to the table level on bright pink and persimmon damask table cloths. At the 2010 Board of Visitors Ball, held at the Camelback Inn, we incorporated several different garden-themed elements into the floral design. We had a playful, yet sophisticated design element with cerise taffeta parasols hanging upside down from the ballroom ceiling and carried the theme throughout the event. The table linens were custom-made, full-length taffeta with rose-petal-inspired palette appliqué. In the foyer, we created romantic topiary bird cage wire forms covered in a harlequin pattern of roses and greenery, with the crowning touch, a life-size replica of a debutante in her gown, made by hand, entirely of flowers dipped in plaster for a porcelain effect. Now for a wedding. For the Courtney Sierk and Brian Gaintner wedding at the Royal Palms Resort, we used vibrant tones for the décor and bride’s bouquet, including orange milva roses, hot pink peonies, purple hydrangea and green cymbidium orchids. The effect was modern, yet romantic, in a beautiful setting. The wedding was gorgeous and guests continue to comment on it. Flowers can change the mood in a room instantly. They convey the look and feel of the chairman’s theme at charitable events. They communicate a bride and groom’s style at a wedding. They are highly personal and very fun! Our goal is to use flowers to always create a memory that will last a lifetime. Dennis Thompson and Brian Trahan are principal owners and designers of White House Design Studio, located at 4001 N. 24th St. in Phoenix. The White House has been bringing creative passion, daring vision and quality in floral design to the Valley since 1995. For more information, visit www.whitehouseflowers.com or call 602.957.0186.

The other afternoon, I was invited to lunch at the Phoenix Country Club to celebrate Sallie Brophy Najafi’s birthday. I hadn’t been at the club in several years. The last time I was there I left feeling saddened that it had fallen into such disrepair. However, I must say the remodel completed last fall is simply spectacular! Following the amazing remodel of the Paradise Valley Country Club several years ago, I was convinced that nothing could rival its new look. I was wrong. The Phoenix Country Club looks amazing! I was disappointed back in the 1980s when the club discarded its midcentury décor in favor of a far too traditional look that didn’t complement the architecture of the club at all. This time they finally got it right. The club is now a mixture of elegant Hollywood Regency décor with amazing Barry Goldwater photography throughout as well as original pieces of art. It’s wonderful to see something so splendid rise from the ashes like the Phoenix bird itself. Now perhaps the same design team can tackle the mismatched homes in Arcadia and Paradise Valley that popped up in the last decade?
Just when you thought Pulse was gone for good, the well-high-heeled ladies who spearheaded it years ago re-launched it as Fusion on Oct. 5 at Montelucia. The fundraiser that originally benefitted the American Heart Association will now focus its fundraising expertise on the American Cancer Society’s Camp Sunrise (a camp for kids with cancer) and the Foundation for Blind Children. Just watch them soar! It’s interesting that a past Heart Ball chair who was more than happy to add the proceeds of Pulse to her ball’s bottom line was the first to kick the event to the curb a couple of years later. We were delighted to find out that our Web site, which was successfully re-launched late last summer, had 19,000 hits for the month of July! While I knew people would go to the site for calendar updates, I never dreamed people would flock to it the way they have. I have only to thank our talented webmaster Todd Sumney of Brand Architects and Robyn Lee, who were instrumental in the remodel of the site. You can also now read about Trends on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Starting this month we are also launching an online blog titled Spotted. Need I say anything else?
In Cocktail Polo news, you should know: That a blonde socialite attempted an out-of-whack confrontation with another muchadored socialite in the parking lot of a private club … That one of the most respected people in the community is about to get a well-deserved and wonderful surprise … That someone you know and love has quietly slipped out of town and is not coming back … That an affected socialite now sits in coach since being forced to return the private jet … That a sharp-eyed husband is being financially blackmailed by his scorned wife …

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
Rendez-Zoo It has been a source of information and inspiration for my kids, and I credit the zoo and its breadth of educational programs with helping them grow into responsible stewards of the natural world. Rendez-Zoo, An Evening of Conservation and Cuisine, will be held Oct. 2 at the Phoenix Zoo. This inaugural event provides an opportunity to experience one of Arizona’s treasures firsthand. Rendez-Zoo will mix extraordinary cuisine with a dash of conservation, as the zoo’s international reputation for wildlife efforts, exhibits and programs will be highlighted. Rendez-Zoo will be chaired by JoEllen Doornbos and Vice-Chair Michelle Clarke. Why are you chairing Rendez-Zoo? JoEllen: I have been associated with the zoo for more than 20 years as a volunteer in many positions. Chairing this event allows me to express my passion and excitement about the zoo’s conservation efforts. Michelle: As the mom of four young children, I consider the zoo a second home.

TRENDS MAGAZINE
What can people expect to experience at Rendez-Zoo? Michelle: Guests will enjoy a sneak preview of ZooLights as they roam along the beautiful Arizona Trail with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Rendez-Zoo will highlight many of the zoo’s internationally recognized conservation programs as guests are transported to various locations of the zoo to experience and learn about the Conservation Center, the Grevy’s zebra and most famous, the Arabian oryx. What makes Rendez-Zoo different from other events? JoEllen: The most obvious difference will be the spectacular setting. Guests will be surrounded by the beautiful sights and sounds of nature and wildlife as they mix and mingle with friends. Rendez-Zoo will offer an evening of exceptional cuisine and entertainment with an educational focus.
What message would you like to leave with guests of Rendez-Zoo? JoEllen and Michelle: We want our guests to leave Rendez-Zoo with a new awareness of the conservation efforts taking place at the zoo and an inspiration to make a difference in the world around them. What does the money raised benefit? JoEllen: Money raised at Rendez-Zoo will help to continue our world-class conservation efforts and care for the more than 1,300 animals at the zoo, including more than including 200 endangered or threatened birds, mammals and reptiles. How can people get involved? Michelle: Of course we would love people to purchase tickets to the event and join us!

FABULOUS PHOENICIAN
US Airways US Airways believes its long history of strong corporate citizenship contributes to the economic and social well being of its communities. Supporting nonprofit organizations is more than just giving a charitable donation; it is a smart business decision that helps create a thriving economic future and enhances the quality of life for all Arizonans. This belief is paramount to its philanthropic promise, and US Airways is proud to continue its rich tradition of strengthening its home town. The airline recognizes that true community stewardship must be reflected both internally through a supportive and dedicated employee team and externally through strong partnerships with nonprofit organizations that
meet critical needs. The approach of US Airways and its employees is handson and collaborative. US Airways appreciates that its human resources have as much, if not more, value than its philanthropic contributions. US Airways employees are dedicated to serving their communities whether it’s providing counsel as a member of a nonprofit board of directors or preparing meals for residents at a transitional shelter. The US Airways Do Crew is the cornerstone of the airline’s Community Relations program and exceptionally demonstrates the airline’s spirit of service. The compassionate and dedicated corps of employee volunteers participates in community-based projects in record numbers. Even during one of the most challenging economic times in the airline industry’s history, US Airways has consistently responded to the need to continue to support those who need them. The airline is honored that the communities it serves support us, and their commitment has enabled US Airways to grow into the world class airline it proudly operates today.

Organizations like National Charity League; schools such as Brophy and Xavier with their community service commitments … all of these provide opportunities for young people to see the varied and often desperate needs of so many in our community.

I have three children, Erin, Lindsay and Andrew. What would you say is your pride and joy?

Do you get nervous in front of a crowd? I do get nervous, but it has never stopped me from standing up and speaking. What four people, living or dead, would you invite to dinner? The President of the United States, (whoever he or she was at the time), Brad Paisley, Walter Cronkite and Payne Stewart.

What is your favorite song or lyric? “The Prayer” by Andrea Bocelli. Do you get nervous in front of a crowd? Yes, doesn’t everyone? What was your most embarrassing moment?

What is your favorite or the most rewarding charitable organization you have been involved in? My most rewarding charitable organization which I have been involved in is the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in April 1986, 11 months after he was born. JDRF was always there for me and I became involved in the organization.

Congratulations to all of the
Penny Nissley Dearest Penny: Not a day goes by that I do not think of what you have accomplished in our last 10 years in the Valley of the Sun. In all of those years together you have constantly put everyone else ahead of yourself, always concerned and working for other’s causes and helping in anyway you could. You done so graciously and with a determination that has been a constant inspiration to your family and friends. You have taught me selflessness, you have inspired me beyond belief and truly taught me by example. In our life together we’ve come to a deeper understanding of what love really is...You’ve taught me that it is more about standing together than falling head over heels and that it is never about trying to be perfect as it is about giving ourselves as we are. And so thank you for continuing to share the journey with me and the life we continue to make along the way. Congratulations to a wonderful, wife, partner, best friend and Mom! I/we, your family are so proud of you and you so deserve this honor. With all the love and admiration, Tony
I have spent a lifetime trying to find a word that best describes you. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that it would take much more than one word to describe how amazing you are. Ever since I can remember you have been there for me, you have a heart of gold and there is not another person in my life that can compare to you. You have taught me how to love, how to care, and most of all, how to put others before myself. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t learn something new from you and I thank my lucky stars everyday to have such a wonderful and caring person as a mother. You are my heart mom and I look forward to everyday I get to spend with you. You are my best friend, you are my role model and I am blessed to have you in my life. I love you mom, thank you for everything, you really, truly are AMAZING! Patrick

2009/2010 Grant Recipients ARIZONA’S CHILDREN ASSOCIATION’s Center for Family Based Practice (CFBP) and Maricopa County Foster Care Program tie directly into the agency’s mission of ‘Protecting Children, Preserving Families.’ CFBP offers a variety of behavioral health services to disadvantaged children and families in Maricopa County which include: family, individual, group and in-home counseling; case management; psychiatric evaluations; and medication monitoring. The Foster Care program licenses homes to provide a loving, safe and stable home environment for a child removed from their home as a result of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or abandonment. 800.944.7611 www.arizonaschildren.org DESERT MISSION, INC.’s Desert Mission Food Bank provides emergency food and food security programs to families who struggle to make ends meet – they serve more than 23,500 people each year. TCF funds will provide emergency food for the increasing number of needy families. Most of the families who request emergency food assistance are working poor families or disabled/elderly living on a fixed income. The food bank provides a spectrum of services – delivered with dignity and respect for the client – to eliminate hunger and promote good nutrition. 602.331.5792 www.jcl.com/ desertmission PHOENIX DAY’s Literacy Program prepares low-income, at-risk, preschool children to enter kindergarten at a level commensurate with the general population of 5-year-olds. Many of these families are mono-lingual. Demographics are as follows: 85% Hispanic with 10% African-American and 5% Caucasian. The children are in a safe environment, allowing parents to retain their jobs and remain self-sufficient. In addition to childcare and early childhood education, the families receive individual bilingual case management to help them meet the many issues they are facing from unemployment to legal issues to health care. 602.252.4911 www.phoenixday.org PHOENIX RESCUE MISSION’s Family Outreach Program will provide food to the hungry, increase the health and well being of low-income children and their families and improve children’s academic achievement. The population served is school-aged children and their families – the majority of which are single-parent, women-headed households in Southwest Phoenix who are at risk of not getting enough nutrition every day and need a little extra help between paychecks. The Program provides supplemental nutritious food that is used to prepare healthy meals, which in turn gives the children the “fuel” needed to concentrate and learn in school and not have to go to school or to bed hungry. 602.233.3000 www.phoenixrescuemission.org TEEN LIFELINE’s Hotline program is a peer-supported crisis counseling program available to any teen at any time. Teens who call the Hotline talk to a highly trained Peer Counselor to receive supportive services and resources for help. For teens who may not seek help through traditional venues, the peerto-peer Crisis Hotline is a first line of prevention and, for some, a last call for hope. One in six (16.1%) Arizona high school students report having thought seriously about killing themselves in the past year. There is no doubt that suicide is a heartrending problem. 602.248.8336 www.teenlifeline.org UMOM NEW DAY CENTER’s Emergency Shelter Program provides services that empower homeless women, children and families to excel to their highest potential and maximize their economic independence. The program benefits women and children by providing comprehensive, wraparound services to those who have been traumatized by domestic violence and/or homelessness and need not only immediate shelter, but also food, job training, childcare and other services to become self-sufficient again. Each day 66 homeless families are provided food, shelter and the tools to build a bridge to self-sufficiency. 602.275.7852 www.umom.org

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
Wellness Community Porch Party For the past two years, the Wellness Community has bestowed its Hero of Inspiration Award at the Porch Party Dinner. Who is this year’s recipient and why? This year’s recipient is Jere Clark, principal of Clark-Wayland Builders and a longstanding business and community leader. Jere is fighting mantle cell lymphoma and doing so with dignity and confidence.
experiences with others like themselves. We often say that TWC provides the “other half” of cancer care, all completely free.
The Wellness Community will hold its annual Porch Party Dinner Oct. 30 starting at 5:30 p.m. The benefit dinner is being co-chaired this year by Susan Barnes and Dawn Senger, who describe how they got involved in this fantastic effort. How and why did you get involved with the Wellness Community? I first learned about the Porch Party Dinner when members of the event committee told me about the Wellness Community and the wonderful programs it offers cancer survivors and their loved ones. When I first walked up the steps of TWC’s historic home, I felt a warm sense of peace and comfort. How does the organization benefit the community? The Wellness Community provides a safe place for cancer survivors and their caregivers to share their feelings and
What makes the Porch Party Dinner different from other fundraisers? It’s an informal event allowing our supporters to kick back and relax. This year, we’ve adopted a Fall Fantasy theme, so guests will gather under the stars in a casual setting decorated in the rust, gold and green colors of an autumn evening.
This is the eighth year for the event. How has it evolved and/or grown? We had 60 guests at our first Porch Party in 2002. It’s grown rapidly since then, as TWC has expanded its scope of services and forged partnerships with various community and healthcare organizations.
Where is it held? The Porch Party Dinner is held on the grounds of TWC’s beautifully restored historic home at 360 E. Palm Lane in the Coronado District near downtown Phoenix. Both of you have family members and friends who have been affected by cancer. When you see loved ones struggling with the pain, stress and fear that come with a cancer diagnosis, you want to do whatever you can to help. I saw firsthand the many ways TWC provides opportunities for hope and transcendence to those living with cancer.
What’s the cost and how can people find out more? Guests can purchase individual tickets for $300 or sponsor a table for costs ranging from $3,000 to$15,000. We also offer event sponsorship and underwriting opportunities. For more information, please contact Tina Bronson at 602.712.1006 or visit www.thewellnesscommunityaz.org.

Nan and C.A Howlett individually have been involved in philanthropic projects around the community for many years. C.A. is senior vice president of public affairs for US Airways. Now, for the first time, they are working together as co-chairs of an evening benefitting the Phoenix Symphony on Oct. 16 at Symphony Hall and the Civic Plaza Ballroom. What is the event? We call it simply, The Concert. The Phoenix Symphony
You appear very committed to the Phoenix Symphony. Why? Because it is the largest performing arts organization in Arizona, starting in 1947. Phoenix cannot be a great city without a thriving cultural component.
Who does it benefit? The youth education programs and artistic excellence of the Phoenix Symphony. They perform for 50,000 kids per year through children’s outreach and 188,000 children and adults through concerts and outreach. Musical education budgets have been cut across the state.
Is it hard to work with your spouse? It’s like remodeling a house. We are usually a good team. You two are very involved in the community. We believe great communities are built by individuals’ involvement and free enterprise support. It’s our duty to “give back” wherever we live, but we also get far more back, through all the friendships we have developed, than we give.
Why Donna Summer? She is the Queen of Dance! Yet her music complements the orchestra. She recently played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to rave reviews and sold out the Hollywood Bowl. Where did you get the idea? We attended the white tie gala for the Philadelphia Orchestra because US Airways has a hub there. It is a great party, and we wondered if it could work in Phoenix.

Breath of Life Gala
This third annual gala to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will be Oct. 23 at the Ritz Carlton Phoenix. Lisa James and Kim Sterling, members of the organizing committee for the 2010 Breath of Life Gala, tell why they are so passionate about the effort to help battle this heartbreaking illness. How did you become involved with Breath of Life? Kim: My youngest son, Jordan, was on the committee for the Randy Johnson Golf Tournament that benefited cystic fibrosis and learned that Phoenix was chosen by the national Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to be the next major city invited to hold this event. He asked if I would have lunch with the Phoenix C.F.
Foundation executive director, Jan Lee Sproat, to learn more. How could I say anything but yes? Jordan was diagnosed in 1976 at 22 months with cystic fibrosis and lived long enough to attend the very first Breath of Life Gala in 2008. His extraordinary life was celebrated at the Breath of Life event in 2009.
Foundation is rated with the highest ranking from Charity Navigator, the largest independent charity evaluator in the U.S.
Lisa: Cystic Fibrosis runs in our family. We have been supportive of the foundation for many years, and our extended family was humbled and thrilled to be recognized at the first Breath of Life Gala as honorees. I know that the resources and awareness raised by the Breath of Life Gala are making true impacts in the lives of C.F. patients, but also in the lives of their families. Who benefits? Kim and Lisa: The money raised from this event is dedicated to research in the quest for the cure for cystic fibrosis and will help fund its network of care centers such as Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the University Medical Center in Tucson. The national Cystic Fibrosis
What makes the Breath of Life Gala different? Kim and Lisa: Today the average life span of a C.F. patient is 37 years old. Everyone who has known a person with C.F. or a family involved with C.F. knows that every day in the life of a C.F. patient is a gift. C.F. patients know how to live life to its greatest fulfillment and we create this event to be the very best, most fun and worthwhile event that you could ever attend! How can people get involved? Kim and Lisa: First, plan to attend, and then we hope you would want to sponsor or put together a very fun table. If you have a special talent that you would like to share with the Gala Committee, please give Laurie Wray, director of special events at the Phoenix office of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a call at 602.224.0068.

1883. The current facility for MIHS’s medical center was opened in 1970 – 40 years ago. It is amazing to think of how many families have been helped over those generations and about the need for continual progress and innovation. As one of the emcees, do you feel pressure to be entertaining? Well, my day job is as a trial lawyer, so I don’t get to entertain judges very often! Compared to that, this is just completely fun and it makes it more fun because it does so much good. With the economic downturn, is it difficult to raise funds in this environment? There is no doubt that times are tough, but we at the Maricopa Health Foundation have always been amazed at the level of generosity of Copa Ball attendees. Any advice for first-time attendees?

WRITER’S WORLD
Online writer’s tool lowers the cost of self-publishing By Tiffany Hoffman Ever wish there was a simpler way to publish your own thoughts and ideas, or hoped for an alternative to conventional publishing? Now it’s possible to be published and to hold your printed book in your hand without spending a fortune. Number-one New York Times best-selling author Victor Ostrovsky has seemingly changed the world of writing in the blink of an eye. He has created a free online destination, TheBookPatch.com, where writers have endless tools to capture their most creative and complex thoughts. And, they can use its word-processing platform to write their book from anywhere in the world where there’s an Internet connection. TheBookPatch.com gives writers the opportunity to receive feedback from other writers, collaborate on books together, sell books with no fee on the site’s virtual bookstore. It also allows them to make their own privacy and copyright decisions for each book they publish. There are free templates for page and cover designs and easy tools to track characters and storylines in books that are in process. TheBookPatch.com makes it possible for authors to publish their work and enjoy the freedom to print one book at a time for as little as $3 to $16 per unit. Typically, selfpublishing has meant sinking thousands of dollars into printing a minimum of 1,000 copies, money the author has to pay up front. Authors that self-publish also have the opportunity to be picked up by large publishers, showing larger houses that they’re viable, having actually completed a book. Numerous writers from the Phoenix area have signed up as users on the site, and some have already completed a book. One is Jim Windeck of Scottsdale, who wrote a book about being abandoned as a child. According to Windeck, the site is easy to use. He said he was pleased to be able to hold his printed book in his hands. Everyone has a book inside of them. This makes it easier to get that book out. For more information, visit www.TheBookPatch.com. Registration is simple and fast.

ARTIST PROFILE
Douglas Fryer By Bill Macomber Every painter who rises to the level we’re aiming at in these artist profiles does at least one thing supremely well. In Douglas Fryer’s case, it’s light. The landscape paintings by this Salt Lake Cityborn artist are full of amazing light. He sees the light and has found a way to capture it and communicate it. Light falls across land, farm buildings, mountains and fields. It’s all believable and immediate in these paintings.
“North of Chelsea,” oil, 20” x 36”
The canvases are arranged around the particularly beautiful quality light we’re privileged to enjoy in the Western United States. It has the airy quality you’ve seen a hundred times on a road trip through New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Northern Arizona, Montana, Wyoming and parts of California. Fryer also captures a feeling about the places he paints. Of course, it’s hard to put into words, but when I saw these paintings at MarshallLeKae, I felt something similar to what I’ve felt standing in a particularly peaceful rural setting around sundown. I could hear crickets in the ditch and smell cut hay. His draftsmanship shows the steady hand of his illustrator background. His colors are muted and calm. In Fryer’s case, it’s the way light draws the eye into a scene and strikes an emotional chord that makes him worth noting.
“Jeweled Hills,” oil, 13.5” x 27”
Douglas Fryer’s paintings can be seen at the Marshall-LeKae Gallery on Main Street in downtown Scottsdale. 480.970.3111, www.marshall-lekaegallery.com.

PETS OF THE MONTH
Harley The family’s landlord wouldn’t budge when it came to big dogs in the apartment, so after two wonderful years, Harley’s family had to put her up for adoption. Finding a new home has been a difficult task for this young Australian cattle dog mix, and she has been waiting for someone to notice her charming personality for over two months now. Harley is an active and playful pooch who is always eager to go for brisk walks. She would appreciate a big yard in which she can chase after a tennis ball. Being a cattle dog mix, Harley is exceptionally smart, and she is more than happy to learn from a patient coach. She is house- and leash-trained. Harley would do best in a home she won’t have to share with other four-legged roommates.
Salem Salem has been searching for a new furrever home for several months now ... 130+ days to be exact! She came to the Humane Society April 1 with her beautiful babies. She needed some time to wean them before going up for adoption. Her babies have all grown and found new homes. Her foster mom says that she loves to have her belly rubbed. When you are not at home she will spend her time looking out the window or sleeping at the foot of the bed. Eventually she becomes bored and would rather snuggle up with her humans. She has never tried to scratch the furniture. She can be shy around children at first but warms up quickly. She has never been around dogs or other cats besides her kittens, so please introduce her slowly. Harley (ID A310805) and Salem (ID A298935) are available the Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion located at 1521 W. Dobbins Road, Phoenix. Harley’s adoption fee is a mere $35, Salem’s only $10 on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please call (602) 997-7586, Ext. 1045 or log on to www.azhumane.org for more information.

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
Tableau, Ryan House
Hosted by the International Furnishing and Design Association, Tableau brings Valley designers together to create elaborate table decor in a competition that participants get to vote on. The table settings and centerpieces are beyond compare. It’s an evening of design, food and fun Oct. 9 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Christi Warner-Beyer, honorary chair, and Co-Chair Sue Ann Aronson tell us about Tableau. What makes this event special? Tableau is a visually stunning evening of fantasy-themed tablescapes. Guests will be treated to a “Mad Men”-themed cocktail party lounge and a silent auction. We will have a Sterling Cooper men’s club, featuring a scotch tasting area with cigar smoking. Don Draper would have loved it. Once inside the ballroom, guests will enjoy voting on table themes. Our live auction has a trip to Buenos Aires, jewelry from E.D. Marshall and a private jet trip to tours of exclusive wineries in Napa Valley. Where does the money go? The proceeds will benefit Ryan House, the first pediatric respite and palliative care home in the Southwest serving children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. How did you get involved? Sue: As a member of IFDA, I have attended a number of Tableau events. I very much wanted to be involved to raise money for Ryan House as I knew this event had great potential. Christi: Very close friends who will remain anonymous asked me to be the honorary chair, and with my family having been in the design business here for over 50 years and getting to help raise funds for Ryan House, how can one say no! How can people get involved? Attending Tableau is a great place to start, especially since base level tickets start at just $185 per person. Also, sponsor opportunities are available and I think we have two openings left for designers. Why do you support Ryan House? Ryan House provides the children and their families with precious moments together in addition to round-the-clock care. There is love and selflessness in those rooms and a chance for kids to be just kids. When IFDA, which is a professional organization in the furnishings and design industry, learned of the creation of Ryan House for children with life-threatening illnesses, we decided to become involved with this wonderful cause. For more information on Tableau, please contact Co-Chair Karen Wirrig at karen@karencoledesigns.com or 602.493.9154. Also, visit www.ifdatableau.com or www.ryanhouse.org.

Phoenix Art Museum Spotlight Natural beauty, an innate sense of style and an erudite love of design catapulted Tatiana Sorokko from her native Russia to the fashion capitals of the world. As one of the first Russian models to achieve international success after perestroika in the 1990s, Sorokko exploded on the fashion scene, walking the runways for designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Gianfranco Ferré, Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, Vivienne Westwood, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Rucci. For more than a decade she graced the covers and editorial pages of European and American magazines such as Vogue, Sorokko in Rucci, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar 2006 and Cosmopolitan.
Sorokko’s career continued as Russian Vogue’s foreign correspondent and author of its popular monthly Style Fax column of fashion and style commentary. Today, Sorokko is a contributing editor of American Harper’s Bazaar, interviewing and styling photo shoots of notable subjects all over the world. Her influence as an international style setter and taste-maker extends well beyond the runway; Sorokko was named to the top 100 international Best Dressed list by American Vogue in 2000 and the Best Dressed Women of All Time list by Harper’s Bazaar in 2007. “Extending the Runway: Tatiana Sorokko Style,” on view at Phoenix Art Museum through Jan. 2, beautifully reveals Sorokko’s historically important couture wardrobe, selected with her keen eye for quality and timeless style. Spanning the 20th century, the exhibition includes works by Mariano Fortney, Jeanne Paquin, Cristóbal

TRENDS IN DINING
By Nicole Traynor
Jacqueline’s Café at Hilton Village If breakfast all day sounds like the only way to dine, Scottsdale’s newest café “kid on the block” has landed quite deliciously in Hilton Village. Jacqueline’s Café has brought to life the space Country Glazed Ham had to vacate. I’ll end the anticipation. It’s fabulous. The vivacious, alive atmosphere … even the hostess … had me at “hello.” It’s old-school diner meets contemporary café, and the place was packed. Before landing on an entrée, my best girlfriend and I read the options cover to cover. If menu segments such as Pancake Bliss, Waffle Utopia and OMG Omelets don’t do it for you, The Art of Hollandaise just might. Jacqueline’s has everything from Mac & Cheese to the Mason Dixon Waffle (which deserves a sentence all to itself – keep reading), Hummus to Huevos Rancheros. And while I certainly didn’t taste everything, our sampling gives me confidence that no matter what the nationality, the selection is probably pretty darn good. I decided on the daily breakfast special for lunch: the Lobster and Avocado Omelet. All I can say is OMG! This plate of deliciousness blends eggs with just the perfect amount of lobster meat, a hefty helping of cream cheese mixed in, topped with sliced avocado. I literally could not stop eating. My lunch buddy opted for the Huevos Rancheros. Viva Jacqueline’s! Equally as delicious and perfectly satisfying portion sizes. Worth noting are options such as the aforementioned Mason Dixon Waffle. This masterpiece is country fried chicken on a waffle topped with country gravy. Also interesting, the Piña Colada Pancakes garnished with snowflake coconut and pineapple. So creative! SO going back as soon as I can! Jacqueline’s Café is located at Hilton Village, 6107 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale. 480.951.5244

TRENDY READING
‘Stories From the Dating Trenches’ By Kristi DeWitt Review by Tiffany Hoffman “Stories From the Dating Trenches” by Kristi DeWitt (AKA Date Diva) is every woman’s must-have relationship handbook. It is perfect for the entire pool of singles who have ever needed a little extra help in the field of dating. DeWitt displays the good, the bad and the ugly. Her (and other people’s) laugh-outloud amusing stories about dating are tales everyone can relate to. She covers topics such as how to scout single men, capturing the man of your dreams, and how to determine if your guy is cheating. Most women have at least one question that needs answering in this area, and “Stories From the Dating Trenches” is your very own Dating 101 text to success. Kristi DeWitt was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, where she began her experiences in the dating trenches at the early age of 16. After 25 years of dating, she decided to share with us her strategic tactics and humorous tales of dating do’s and don’ts. Stories were also submitted by other women with sometimes good, sometimes awful experiences in dating. DeWitt’s goal is to take single woman through her dating boot camp and help them discover the confidence that has been hiding behind the beautiful smile. The female fear of dating can be toxic to mind and soul, and there is no valid reason why any woman can’t overcome that fear. For more on “Stories From the Dating Trenches,” you can purchase Kristi DeWitt’s book ($19.95, Monkey Bizness Publications, Scottsdale). If you still can’t get enough, check out more relationship tales and blogs at www.mydatestories.com, and you may be one page away from being the next dating diva.
