COOL TREKS TREK in association with Arizona State Parks RANGER LED MOONLIGHT HIKE AT LOST DUTCHMAN STATE PARK / NOVEMBER 17th FROM 7-9pm
SUNSET HIKE AT LOST DUTCHMAN STATE PARK / NOVEMBER 20th AT 4:30pm
There is a limit of 100 hikers, so please call Lost Dutchman State Park in advance to reserve your space at (480) 982-4485. Join us for a guided 2.5 mile hike on Jacob’s Crosscut Trail at the base of the mysterious Superstition Mountains. Start at sunset and watch the moonrise during the hike. Hikers should dress appropriately and wear trail shoes or boots. Please bring a flashlight in case of cloudy conditions. Some parts of the trail are rocky and uneven with occasional steep grades (elevation gain: 120 feet). Participants should be in good health with no walking or night vision difficulties. Trail is NOT suitable for strollers or walkers. After the hike gather around the campfire for a marshmallow roast (marshmallows and sticks provided.) All ages are welcome. No pets, please. Please arrive early for parking in Cholla Day Use Area.
Hikers should follow the Treasure Loop trail to Jacobs Cross Cut to intersect with Siphon Draw Trail. Marvel at the mountain and the sky full of color especially when there a few clouds. Elevation change is 102 feet on very well maintained trails. This is an easy, 2-hour hike. Bring a flashlight for walk back to vehicles. Meet at Saguaro picnic area. Led by volunteer hiking leader Nancy. BIGHORN BASICS AT ORACLE STATE PARK / SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17th at 1pm Join Arizona State Parks volunteer Richard Boyer as he presents “Bighorn Basics” at the Kannally Ranch House for a 35-minute talk to learn more about bighorn sheep - including reintroduction efforts and updates on a proposed wildlife corridor to cross Highway 77 near Catalina. What are they? Where have
they been? Where are they now? Many of the tools we use can be compared to the tools the Bighorn Sheep use to survive in mountainous areas of Arizona. For several years, Boyer has presented this Bighorn Basics program at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado where he recently retired as a seasonal National Park Service Park Ranger. Free with park admission. Reservation required by calling the park at 520896-2425. MAJOR EXHIBIT OF LEE KANNALLY PAINTINGS OPENS NOVEMBER 23rd AT ORACLE STATE PARK An extensive exhibit of work by selftaught cowboy artist Lee Kannally, who began painting after returning from World War I, will open on Saturday, Nov 23 at the Kannally ranch house at Oracle State Park. Among the colorful, impressionisticstyle paintings: mounted cowboys driving a herd of cattle across a dusty landscape, single riders on leaping horses, and three stylistic depictions of a guitar-playing cowboy with ballerina dancers. Many of the nearly 30 oils by Leonard L. “Lee” Kannally (1888-1971) are on public display for the first time in decades. Twentythree are on loan from Oracle Historical Society while the remainder are owned by Friends of Oracle State Park. All are in their original “rustic” frames. Saturday activities, which are free with park admission, include guided tours of the ranch

house at 10am and 2pm; live soft bluegrass music from 1-2pm and 3-4pm with “David Liers and the Creosote Ring”; and cowboy chili and corn bread lunch for free-will donation. A long-lost black and white home-movie video of Kannally family members at home will be shown throughout the day, and a book of letters Lee Kannally wrote to family members while he was overseas during the war will be on display for reading. Kannally suffered nerve damage due to gas poisoning while stationed in Siberia. According to one historic account, “he did most of his painting while kneeling next to his bed while the canvas was laid flat. This… minimized the involuntary movements” that were the effects of his war injuries. He painted for therapy and for his own pleasure and neither gave a title to, signed, or dated his pieces. An expert horseman and roper, his often whimsical canvasses feature a mix of cowboys, horses, steers, campfires, and dancers. The exhibit will remain on display through April at the park, which is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 5pm. Visitors are invited to write comments in a special notebook on the art, and those who knew the Kannallys are encouraged to put down any memories of Lee during the years he was painting or of the family, who established the cattle ranch in the early 1900s. Information about other weekend activities is available by visiting www. azstateprks.com/Parks/ORAC or calling the park at 520-896-2425. The park is open seasonally on a limited basis: October through April, Saturdays and Sundays and weekdays by reservation. The park entrance is just off Mt. Lemmon Rd., in Oracle; park admission is $7 per vehicle.

Mt. Lemmon - Marshalls Gultch to Aspen Trail
I keep saying that hiking season is coming to an end this year for the Catalinas, and Tucson keeps giving me eighty degree days. So if you get the chance before the real winter hits us, Marshalls
Gulch and Aspen Trail are of my favorite treks in the whole city. Plus the drive up is rewarding on its own no matter what time you go up. Take Tanque Verde road east until you hit Catalina Highway and follow the highway up all the way past Ski Valley and summer haven I like to head up on Marshalls Gulch (trailhead on right of bathroom) and then make a loop taking Aspen back down( trailhead on left of bathroom). This is where I take my out-of-towners because all of a sudden you find yourselves in a gorgeous pine forest on the first stretch of the hike amidst a thick white Aspen woodland on the way back. The trees are so dense in some areas of Aspen trail that you can’t even see behind them, but this makes for lots of shade and a nice cool hike for the way down. Marshall’s Gulch winds over and follows a stream for most of the trek which only adds to this trails majesty. These trails are both for
intermediate level hikers. There are breathtaking vistas like Cathedral rock and Wilderness of rocks where the Gulch hits Marshalls Saddle (which is a junction of many trails). I like to hike around for a while before I head down Aspen trail because there are some gorgeous trail areas for taking photos. The whole loop I just described takes about 3-4 hours and is roughly 5.5 miles. Either hike will prove to be worthy but the loop is an unforgettable hike. Get outside and take a trek this season!

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.
Top 10 movies “Toy Story 3” (2010) “Cast Away” (2000) “Saving Private Ryan” (1998) “That Thing You Do!” (1996) “Forrest Gump” (1994) “Philadelphia” (1993) “Sleepless in Seattle” (1993) “A League of Their Own” (1992) “Big” (1988) “Splash” (1984)
‘Bad Milo!’ Ken Marino plays a man whose mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction: a pint-sized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. (R - 85 minutes) Joseph: Even those who were initially amused by “Bad Milo!’s” premise will quickly become bored with the seemingly infinite flow of butt-gags. Had star Ken Marino’s character bonded a bit more with his materialized anxiety, this may have been more fun and actually said something in the process.

Whoopi Goldberg Movies The Color Purple

Tom Hanks’
‘Blue is the Warmest Color’ Adèle Exarchopoulos plays a young girl who begins a romance with a male classmate, but is soon swept off her feet by a mysterious, bluehaired girl, a confident older art student. (Léa Seydoux). (NC-17 - 187 minutes) Joseph: “Blue is the Warmest Color” is every bit as beautifully poetic as its title. Director Abdellatif Kechiche exposes emotions you never imagined could be manifested in a motion picture. Having said that, its 3-hour length and graphic nature is not for everybody.
“The Color Purple” (1985) Under Steven Spielberg’s direction, Goldberg made a stunning acting debut as the oppressed heroine of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. “Clara’s Heart” (1988) A touching Goldberg plays a housekeeper who befriends a lonely youngster (Neil Patrick Harris). “The Long Walk Home” (1990) Goldberg and Sissy Spacek make a stunning acting duo in this civil rights drama. “Ghost” (1990) In the enduringly popular drama that earned Goldberg an Oscar, she plays a medium who reconnects a slain man (Patrick Swayze) with his endangered love (Demi Moore). “Sister act” (1992) Goldberg had one of her biggest hits with this comedy about a murder witness who hides out as a nun. “The Lion King” (1994) As hyena Shenzi, Goldberg is heard in one of the most successful animated features ever. “Corrina, Corrina” (1994) An appealing Goldberg plays a housekeeper who brightens the lives of a widower and his daughter.

In “Ambushed,” which is available on Blu-ray and DVD, Dolph Lundgren plays a veteran DEA agent who clashes with a crooked cop (Randy Couture) while pursuing a ruthless cocaine smuggler (Vinnie Jones) whose power is slipping. “Jack is a narcotics officer who is kind of playing on both sides of the
fence. He is not a very nice character and he is kind of doing whatever he has to do - or feels like he has to do to get ahead. He doesn’t have a very high opinion of law enforcement or of his job. It is just kind of a means to an end for him and, because of that, he does all kinds of things that are not terribly savory in this movie.
“It was a challenge for me. I think that part of the acting process is trying to figure out how to tell the truth and how to relate to your character and what he does as objective as in the movie even though you don’t have anything in your own stream of experience to relate to. I had to create a rather detailed back story for Jack that was kind of his motivation for doing a lot of things that he did, which involved a family, some kids and an ex-wife. Those are things that I could relate to. So that made it a little more real to me. “First of all, this was a great experience for me to be able to play a lead character in a movie with such a great group of people. Just by being around them, I learned - almost through osmosis - more about the process. I learn something new every time I put myself out there. Having to create this back story to relate to Jack was a challenge but a fun one and I think that, at the end the day, it made me a better actor.” - Randy Couture

The Nutcracker is based on story by E.T.A. Hoffman. It premiered in St. Petersburg in 1892 with music by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petitpa and Lev Ivanov and is the most often performed ballet worldwide. Ballet Tucson’s production was conceived by Founding Artistic Director Mary Beth Cabana. On Christmas Eve, Clara receives an unusual gift from her Godfather Drosselmeyer. Magically, the Nutcracker transforms into a handsome prince and takes her on a fantastical journey in a single night. They battle giant mice, travel through a land of swirling snowflakes, and visit a spectacular kingdom with dancing sweets of every kind – bonbons, candy canes, marzipan, Spanish chocolate, Arabian coffee, and Chinese tea.

Tucson, a community once known for its highly fluctuating population of winter birds and host to the world’s ugliest street (Life Magazine, 1970), now shows promise for becoming one of the Southwest’s most prominent beer cities. Here nestled in the Old Pueblo you will find nine established breweries; The Address, Barrio, Beast, Borderlands, Dragoon, Nimbus, Old Bisbee, Ten 55 and Thunder Canyon. In addition there are three more quickly on the rise; Sentinel Peak, Catalina and Iron John’s. Tucson also plays host to several amazing locally founded and operated craft beer bars; 1702, The Canyons Crown, The Hub, Noble Hops, The Tap and Bottle, Reilly and RJ’s Replays. As the landscape of the craft beer world forms in the basin of our mountains, we will be here to report on all of its splendor.
