PIMA AIR & SPACE MUSEUM RELOCATES HISTORIC BEACON
The Pima Air & Space Museum has relocated its Airway Beacon Tower to a prominent position near Valencia Rd. Drivers and car passengers can now see it as they drive by. “We are delighted to move this fascinating piece of aviation history into a more prominent location for all to see,” stated Yvonne Morris, Executive Director of the Arizona Aerospace Foundation, the not-for-profit that operates the Pima Air & Space Museum. “We are hoping it will become a landmark for the Southeast side of Tucson.”
HISTORICAL LANDMARK HOSTS FREE CONCERTS The Town of Oro Valley and Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance Present Steam Pump Ranch concerts during Second Saturdays at Oro Valley Farmers Market Tucked away off one of Oro Valley’s busiest roads, Steam Pump Ranch tells a story of the history behind the town. The historical site was once a waystation for cattle and destination along a major corridor for westward travel. Today, the ranch links past and present culture, providing a pleasant outdoor venue for the Second Saturdays at the Oro Valley Farmers Market. The monthly event features live music, an open air market and kids’ activities, presented by the Town of Oro Valley and Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance. When the Oro Valley Farmers Market recently moved to this location, the past was brought back to life through Steam Pump’s prior use in raising produce and eggs for guests. The free event will bring local performers in country and Latin music to the ranch, at 10901 N. Oracle Road, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Attendees encouraged to
bring their own chairs to the concerts. Bill Ganz - Oct. 12 Bill Ganz has performed on the Tucson music scene for more than 28 years. A member of the Western Music Association, Ganz has taught private guitar instruction and continues to maintain a full student base. He performs as a soloist as well as the band leader for Bill Ganz Western Band. In the past he performed as a member of the Reinsmen, The Desert Sons and the Sons of the Western Plains, performing western, country, jazz, soft rock, retro and more. Admission is free.

Oracle Road
During the 1920s the United States government created a series of lighted “airways” linking major cities across the country. The lighted Airway Beacons were a substantial navigation aid in an era prior to the development of radio navigation. The effectiveness was limited by visibility and weather conditions. Twenty-four-inch-diameter rotating beacons were mounted on 53foot (16 m) high towers, and spaced ten miles apart. The spacing was closer in the mountains, and farther apart in the plains. The beacons were five-million candlepower, and rotated 6 times a minute. By 1933 approximately 1,500 airway beacons had been constructed to guide pilots from city to city, covering 18,000 miles from coast to coast. Radio navigation systems began to replace the lights in 1929 but it was not until the 1970s that the last of the beacons were officially turned off. Several actually remain in use by the state of Montana and are used to mark dangerous mountainous terrain. The lights are sometimes called “Lindy Lights” in recognition of Charles Lindbergh’s
efforts to promote the system during the 1920s. The light preserved at the Pima Air & Space Museum is believed to have originally been placed at the airport at Douglas, Arizona. Due to the museum’s proximity to the DavisMonthan Air Force base and its runway, for safety reasons the beacon’s fivemillion candlepower light will not be lit.

THE TUCSON JAZZ SOCIETY RETURNS TO ST. PHILIP’S PLAZA
ROLAND DYENS LIVE IN TUCSON October 18th at 7pm / Holsclaw Hall
After a two-year absence, the Tucson Jazz Society has returned to St. Philip’s Plaza with a bang, recently opening its three-concert Jazz Under the Stars series last Sunday with a crowd pleasing performance by singer Delphine Cortez and the Joel Robin Quartet. With an awe-inspiring lineup of world class entertainment scheduled in the weeks ahead, St. Philip’s Plaza is without a doubt the place to be every Sunday starting at 7pm. The Tucson Jazz Society is proud to present this truly remarkable series filled with all the sights and sounds any music lover could ask for. Here’s a peek at what’s on tap for the month of October. Oct. 13 — Kitty Margolis: Straight with a Twist Singer Kitty Margolis: Straight with a Twist, accompanied by Daniel “Sly” Slipetsky, piano, Scott Black, bass, and Fred Hayes, drums. With more than 20 years in the business and five albums in her discography, Margolis keeps music writers searching for new adjectives to describe her innovative swing through the classic jazz songbook. Her imaginative improvisations, dynamism, and inventive scat have redefined the art of jazz vocals. Beyond her virtuoso technique, she has an epic feeling, a willful breadth of emotion that is artfully focused on the details of life. She is not afraid to be as intimate as a diary or as athletic as necessary in order to stand up to the power of her band. Like all true artists, Kitty Margolis adds something good to the world that it did not possess before she came along. She is, as they say, “the real thing.” Oct. 20 — Joe Bourne: The Music of Motown and Other Gems of That Era Equally sophisticated in his own way is singer and entertainer Joe Bourne, appearing with “The Music of Motown
and Other Gems of That Era.” Now based in Tucson, Bourne spent a major portion of his career living and working in Europe. His musical influences include Nat King Cole and Lou Rawls. Bourne’s interpretation of George Gershwin’s “Summertime” has won awards in Germany, Ireland and Bulgaria.
A performance by Roland Dyens is like none other. Known as both a great guitarist and composer, he is also a master of improvisation, a skill rarely shown in classical music recitals. His music is sublime, heavily influenced by his love of jazz and Brazilian music. Dyens’ compositions are always exciting and fresh, which may be why he is ranked highest in the “Top 100” list of most recorded original works for the guitar by living composers worldwide. Certainly a master of his craft, this is truly an event you won’t want to miss. General admission is $25, members $20, students with ID $15. Discounts are available for advance sales of 4 or more tickets from www.TucsonGuitarSociety.org. For information, please call 520342-0022.
Travel back with these timeless tunes by Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves, Michael Jackson and many more to enjoy those fond musical memories with songs like “Baby Love,” “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” “Sugar Pie,” “Just My Imagination,” “I’ll Be There,” “Hello, What’s Going On,” “How Sweet It Is” and more. Angel Diamond-lead and background vocals, Mike Levybass, Rob Resetar-keys, Doug Davisdrums, Howard Wooten-guitar, Neamen Lyles-sax, Jason Carder-trumpet, Miguel Bazemore-Percussion The Tucson Jazz Society The Tucson Jazz Society (TJS) is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to promoting and preserving America’s original music – jazz. The Society’s mission is to ensure continuity of the jazz art form through its commitment to nurture and champion local talent, bring outstanding national and international artists to southern Arizona, and provide for the young generation via its arts in education program.TJS remains Tucson’s only fulltime source for all things jazz. Jazz Under the Stars, presented by the Tucson Jazz Society 7 p.m. every Sunday St. Philip’s Plaza, 4280 N. Campbell Ave. Tickets: $35, discounts are available. Info: 903-1265, www.tucsonjazz.org

Take a Stroll with Niccole October is here, and it is by far one of the best hiking and biking seasons of the year out here in the Old Pueblo. Here are two of my favorite spots for hiking and biking, they are similar in that they are both for all levels of adventurers; both are close enough to do in a short period of time and neither place will ever be forgotten. Fantasy Island Mountain Biking -South Side “Bunny Loop” I was so surprised at this incredible intown mountain bike adventure. Within 3 square miles of state trust land is over 16miles of curvy, single tracks over sandy washes. These rides are for all levels, there are a fewtechnical spots for a beginning bike rider in some areas. However, Ihighly recommend this spot for everyone, especially if you do not have a ton of extra time to get to the outreaches of the city. It is located on the east side of Tucson, for beginners I recommend starting on the southern entrance on Valencia at a spot called Bunny Loop, from here you can go just about anywhere and do any mileage you like. Bunny Loop itself is about 5.5 miles. Remember to have your recreational state land permit pass in your car and watch out for the Jumping Cholla by wearing some good thick-soled shoes. This area makes an amazing sunset ride all the way into the night if you like.
Tanque Verde Falls Hike Whether you are a native Tucsonan, a seasonal resident or a one-time visitor, the Tanque Verde falls hike is a must. It is great year round and can be enjoyed by all levels of hikers including kids and dogs. Nestled between saguaro laden desert vistas, there are 5 gorgeous waterfalls that range from 20-100 ft. The water isn’t always flowing vigorously but it is a gorgeous and serene place to go in Tucson, which is only about 30 minutes out of the city. This hike can be a short jaunt to the water with little ones or hours of hiking all day throughout the falls. Be advised that this hike can be dangerous during monsoon season for flash flooding and for jumping of the cliffs. The rocks are slippery so wear shoes with really good tread and bring a lot of water as there is not much shade on this hike either. To get there head east on Tanque Verde road until it turns into Reddington Road, once you hit the dirt go a little less than a mile in and you’ll see a large parking area to your left hand side. The trail down will be on the right hand side of the road opposite of the parking. Have fun and be safe!

AWARD-WINNING VIOLINIST TO PERFORM IN HER TUCSON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DEBUT Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance presents season opening MasterWorks Series, Franz Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, “London” and Samuel Berber’s Violin Concerto Elena Urioste, recipient of the inaugural Sphinx Medal of Excellence, will make her Tucson Symphony Orchestra debut when she performs Samuel Barber’s haunting Violin Concerto on the opening program of the 2013-14 MasterWorks Series. The performance, presented by Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, begins at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 7575 N. Paseo del Norte. Concert comments, one hour prior to performances, are complimentary with tickets, which start at $49 per seat (subscription discounts available). Music Director and Conductor George Hanson will conduct the program which opens with the contemporary work, “Conversations with Nijinsky,” a ballet suite by dancer-turned-rock star and composer, Kip Winger, and concludes with Haydn’s great “London Symphony.” Since first appearing with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 13, Elena Urioste has made acclaimed debuts with major orchestras throughout the U.S., including the Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Richmond, and San Antonio symphony orchestras. Her performances with the Chicago Symphony have been acclaimed for their “hypnotic delicacy,” “expressive poise” and “lyrical sensitivity.” Urioste was recently selected as a BBC New Generation Artist and featured on the cover of Symphony magazine. She was also recently featured in the 15th anniversary issue of Latina magazine as one of its “Future Fifteen.” The Barber Violin Concerto is one of the most performed twentieth century concertos and one which is widely noted for its fine craftsmanship. “Something about this piece feels very comfortable to me,” Urioste says

of the Concerto. “It’s beautiful, heart wrenching in places. It’s warm and it’s romantic. I love the harmonies and its melodic language.” Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, “London,” is the last from a set of twelve commissioned by the AngloGerman impresario and violinist Johann Peter Salomon. The “London” or “Salomon” symphonies were immensely successful but were the last symphonies he composed, moving on in his remaining productive years to oratorios. What made Haydn popular then and now is his use of great melodies. The 104th exemplifies that and like most of Haydn is a basically happy work but with underlying and subtle emotional currents.

REVIEWERS ROUNDTABLE The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.
‘The Summit’ Filmmaker Nick Ryan recounts the story of the deadliest day on the world’s most dangerous mountain, when 11 climbers mysteriously perished on K2. (R - 104 minutes) Stan: Knowing the outcome of that infamous climb in 2008 heightens the angst one feels as filmmaker Nick Ryan aptly presents the ominousness of K2 and the various personalities of the climbers, for a powerful look at the will and determination of the human spirit to survive.
‘Captain Phillips’ Tom Hanks plays Captain Richard Phillips, the commanding officer of U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama, which in 2009 was hijacked by a crew of Somali pirates. (PG-13 - 134 minutes) Stan: Based on true events, the film ‘Captain Phillips’ with Tom Hanks in the title role, gives us an adult perspective as it takes us from our youthful impressions of the pirates of old with a very engaging story on the overall theme of modern day piracy on the open seas for corporate ransom.
‘Escape from Tomorrow’ Roy Abramsohn plays an unemployed father who, in a world of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, sees his sanity challenged by a chance encounter with two underage girls on holiday. (NR - 90 minutes) Joseph: Granted, filming “Escape from Tomorrow” took a little gumption and a whole lot of guts. But what begins as a haunting and disorienting look at the most magical place on Earth quickly spirals into sheer madness with nothing in particular to say of its subject.
BET, YOU
DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson ‘Die Hard’ (1998) starring Bruce Willis originated from the failed script of a sequel for ‘Commando’ which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Astronaut Sandra H. Magnus (‘Gravity’) By Joseph J. Airdo
“Whenever we do spacewalks, we are always tethered. We have a safety tether on our spacesuit attached firmly at a permanent place on the station. Then you have sort of a pulley reel that unwinds the safety tether as you move around. Then, let’s say I am working on an ammonia tank or I am installing an antenna or some other piece of equipment. I will
take another tether and local tether myself there. “So if my local tether breaks, I am still on the safety tether. And if the safety tether breaks, we have a jetpack and you can fly back to the station if you don’t separate too quickly. We actually train for that in a virtual reality environment that will put us in a tumble as if we have just fallen off the station. We have to stabilize our orientation and then figure out how to fly back.
in a bad place because the station can’t come and get you like the shuttle could.” - Dr. Sandra H. Magnus
Stan Robinson’s reviews reflect the insights of an insider. With more than 22 years of experience in media production, Stan uses his behind-the-scenes expertise to survey a film’s technical attributes and considers the challenges that had to be overcome in order to cinematically present a story. E-mail him at Movies@StanRobinson.org.
RANDY MONTGOMERY
In “Gravity,” Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play a medical engineer and an astronaut, who work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space. I recently asked Dr. Sandra H. Magnus, executive director of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, about the safeguards against and contingency plans for emergencies similar to the one seen in the film.

this or that, but if you weren’t there, one really can’t say. A lot of that sadness, and I don’t want to give anything away because as you say, at the very beginning you know what’s going to happen, it’s the journey to get us there is what I think makes it work.

“It was a tall challenge indeed and as you so aptly stated, prepping for the shoot was vital. For the reconstruction aspect I did a number of tests the year before, we went to the location in Switzerland where we ended up shooting the recreations with our cameraman Robbie Ryan to find out if it was feasible to do what we had planned to do, and I knew I was going to have to use certain techniques like green screens, outdoors on a snowy location, and to emulate the actual terrain of K2.
it was really important that the climbers looked like they were in turmoil and at the mercy of K2. We shot for a total of 16 days and nights, and what was more important was that what we were creating was factually correct. I conducted all the interviews with the survivors and went through all those transcripts, wrote the 40-page screenplay and worked from that. It’s a horror film that comes to life with the underlying factor that it’s a true story!” - Nick Ryan

Best salsa & tequila awarded while raising funds for Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and Tucson Hispanic Chamber Foundation This week, the Food Bank of Southern Arizona was presented with a check that brought a humble appreciation for community support. With more than 1,500 attendees, 45 participating restaurants and chefs, 16 tequila distilleries, six Art Institute Culinary students, 100 recipes judged, the Salsa and Tequila Challenge sold out and received international attention. But most importantly, this signature culinary fundraiser for Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance (SAACA) raised more than $25,000 for charity - the Food Bank of Southern Arizona, Tucson Hispanic Chamber Foundation and SAACA’s arts programs. As attendees winded through La Encantada on Saturday, Aug. 24 and reached out for all the salsa and tequila samplings they could handle, they were also supporting these three important causes in the community. Chefs and restaurants served up their support as well, with an extra side of creativity in their recipes and displays. The BrushFire BBQ Co. East certainly took tequila to a new level with their Whiteout cocktail created by mixologist Greystone LaPoint. Brushfire commented the event was “perfectly ran... best in Tucson by leaps and bounds.” From Loew’s Ventana Canyon aquarium display frozen in ice sculpture to the flowing skirts of the Ballet Folklorico La Paloma dancers, the artistic side of the event was around every corner. Colorful piñatas decorated the archways of the center courtyard as Tesoro’s heart-pounding flamenco pulsated from the main stage.

there and it was easy to see how the restaurant has gained such a loyal following in Tucson. One thing that is special about arriving at a Fox restaurant is that there is always someone waiting to open the front door and greet you with a big smile. Wildflower is no exception to this. We sat in a comfortable booth on the edge of the dining room that gave you a great view into the action of the open kitchen. Our server Craig was all smiles and his cheery and attentive attitude really made the evening. We were treated to the Chef’s boards and Steamed Black Mussels with Chorizo to start. This was

followed by Spanish Paella, Spicy Asian Shrimp over egg noodles and Lamb Ravioli with herb tomato butter. Each if the dishes were well balanced with flavors and textures that left you scraping that last little bit off the plate. It was clear that much time and attention had been committed to really developing food that shined. With all that said, the best was yet to come. If you have ever eaten at Wildflower you know that you should never skip dessert. We tried a little of everything with the highlights being the Pineapple Upside Down, Brioche Doughnuts and Butterscotch pudding. After this meal, we left with no doubt that Wildflower would be celebrating many more anniversaries.

Sweet Charity, on Nov. 22 at 6 p.m., will combine more than 50 desserts with cocktail, beer and wine samplings, a silent auction, merchant specials and entertainment all to raise dough for arts education.

Four Peaks Peach Ale has peach aromas, residual sugar and subtle juicy flavor at the end that would go great with a cobbler or a fresh berry ice cream.” The best of the glazed, iced, sprinkled and drizzled will be judged by attendees in an all People’s Choice competition at Plaza Colonial shopping center outdoor courtyard, southwest corner of Skyline Drive and Campbell Avenue.
This year, Hensley Beverage Co. will complement the stacks of sweetness with an emerging, and sometimes overlooked, craft - beer. “Maybe 10 to 15 years ago people began realizing that beer pairs well with food,” said Jacob Cox, craft beer specialist with Hensley Beverage Co. “Chefs are creative people too,” Cox said, so those who might be getting a little bored with wine as the go-to drink pairing are eager to try new things. Hensley will present eight to 10 beer samplings to enhance the event’s dedication to flavor, with ales, porters, ambers and more from three breweries - Four Peaks (Tempe, Ariz.), Sleepy Dog (Flagstaff, Ariz.) and Deschutes (Bend, Ore.). “You don’t want things to be too similar in flavor when pairing,” Cox explained. “So he attempts to find a balance between the beer and dessert without overwhelming the senses with a single taste or the masking subtleties. Deschutes Black Butte Porter is a nice dark beer with hints of coffee and a velvety smooth texture, which could be paired nicely with a
