CAVE CREEK – On the upcoming ballot this November, Cave Creek United School District citizens will be asked to decide whether or not to approve two school bonds for the CCUSD aimed at covering the costs necessary for maintaining and updating aging schools in the district. One of the bonds on the ballot is a repurpose bond, which asks voters to approve the reallocation of bond funds already passed and collected resulting in no tax increase. The second bond is asking for new funds to cover critical projects for CCUSD and would raise property taxes. The repurpose bond on the upcoming ballot was first approved by voters in
2000, with over $10 million of funds available from the bonds issued. However, its original purpose was only for building new schools because CCUSD was experiencing double-digit growth then, but the growth halted, as well as state funding in 2008 with the recession, said CCUSD Superintendent Dr. Debbi Burdick in a phone interview. Repurposing the bond would allow CCUSD to have access to the $10.2 million available in bond funds for critical repairs in aging schools without raising property taxes. The main priorities would be replacement of failing air conditioning units, replacing and repairing leak-

ing roofs, and installing intercoms, security systems, and fire alarms. Superintendent Burdick says the newest school in the district is 10 years old, with schools going back to 1982, and CCUSD is experiencing major failures with its infrastructure. “We have many needs the state is not providing,” said Burdick about the bonds. “There is $10 million in the state treasury; otherwise, the money will just sit there.” The second bond on the ballot will ask voters to increase their property taxes $0.12 per $100 of assessed valuation so CCUSD can fund capital improvements for the next six to seven years, including replacing the bus fleet, according to the CCUSD Web site. CCUSD has not asked for a bond since 2000 and is asking voters to approve approximately $30 million, which would complete a wide range of projects, aimed at increasing energy efficiency in an effort to attain cost savings for all schools in the district. The new bond will also pay for a new fleet of school buses. The aver-
age age of the buses in the district is 15 years old, and, if passed, the new bond would replace all buses older than 15 years with new buses that have air conditioning and understorage, says Burdick. None of the bond money being requested by CCUSD will go to salaries for teachers, and Richard Doabek, a Cave Creek citizen, voiced his concern about retaining teachers at a public bond forum held last Tuesday in Cave Creek. “If I had a choice between painting walls and keeping teachers…well, you get what you pay for,” said Doabek to the CCUSD School Board during the almost empty public meeting. But, Superintendent Burdick says that if the bonds do not pass, then it could potentially impact school programs in the future. “If we had a total AC or roof failure, we would have to use money from another pot, and it could impact programs,” said Burdick about what could happen if the bond initiative fails. “We would continue to Band-Aid everything.”

Movie Review
Dir: Jason Reitman Starring: Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Judy Greer, Dean Norris, Kaitlyn Dever, Ansel Elgort, Olivia Crocicchia, and Emma Thompson
Judge Gerald A. Williams North Valley Justice of the Peace
119 Minutes | Monte’s Rating | 3.00 out of 5.00
The typical morning term of endearment from my wife has a different effect on me when I hear her say it than when I read it in a text. Technology has changed the way that we communicate, it has changed the way we express emotions, and it is changing the way reality is perceived. There is a world of people who have a better understanding of themselves through the technology that enables their personality than they do in their daily lives. Director Jason Reitman approaches this technological dilemma with a heavy-handed deliberateness in the film “Men, Women, Children.” The film focuses on a group of different people. A husband (Adam Sandler) and wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) who have grown apart in their relationship, who are both self-satisfying their wants for something different with different people within the risqué Web sites of the Internet. An overly protective mother (Jennifer Garner) controls every
digital fingerprint her teenage daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) makes, moving the teenager to sneak around to be with her boyfriend (Ansel Elgort). The popular girl (Olivia Crocicchia) in high school is looking for instant fame; with the help of her desperate mother (Judy Greer) she poses for “modeling” pictures for a Web site. These stories intertwine with one another, displaying the negative effects technology has on their lives. The themes in “Men, Women, and Children” are all too familiar, some matters of debate on the nightly news and others so readily accustomed that we overlook them on a daily basis. Reitman tends to utilize the extremes of these matters for the bulk of the multiple plots developing in the story here. Unfortunately, the many different stories aren’t all similarly interesting; in fact, a few are often forgotten about. The film functions on the surface as a cautionary tale but Reitman’s skill for keen character insights creates some discerning musings into the relationships formulated through technology but also

the breakdown of relationships perpetrated by simple human nature. Reitman, who typically has a knack for the kind of subtlety that would transcend these underlying topics, paints the themes on a large display with flashing lights to direct the viewer where to look and, in some scenes, exactly how to feel. The underlying implications become forcefully one-dimensional; if it weren’t for the capabilities of the actors, these flaws would be more obvious. Reitman brings something worthwhile out of all the characters. Especially good is Rosemarie DeWitt as the bored housewife who seeks the company of another man through a catered Web site. Her change from shy to aggressive calls into question which is genuine. Judy Greer is another standout as the blindly ambitious mother who sets up a Web site filled with inappropriate pictures of her daughter. There is a desperation that is present; a woman who missed her chance is living through her daughter. Adam Sandler has shown his ability, with films like “Punch Drunk Love” and “Reign Over Me” at being more than just comedic; here he gives a performance that ranges from timid to comfortably numb. “Men, Women, and Children” is trying to be profound while imposing a barrage of aggressive themes. This resonates in small amounts when the right characters and story arcs are on display. Unfortunately, too many wheels begin to spin and confusion and repetition take over, making the multifaceted commentary lose track of the poignant ideas it attempts to suggest.
Do you know what a process server does for a living? Most people also have a general understanding of the term “you’ve been served” when it comes to lawsuits (as opposed to something enjoyable, like a nice meal). However, the term “served” means different things even within the same set of court rules. In the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, the term “service” is used in two different contexts and it is easiest to think of it in terms of Rule 4 service and Rule 5 service. Rule 4 service is what most people think of when (and if) they think about service of process. Before a lawsuit can continue, the defendant must be served with a copy of the summons (that says where the lawsuit is and how to respond) and a copy of the complaint (a statement of why the defendant is being sued and for how much). Getting a copy of a lawsuit to the defendant is usually fairly simple; but it can become very tricky. For example, what if the process server knocks on your door and hands a lawsuit against you to your 16-year-old son? Is that good enough? The answer is probably yes. The rules state that you can be served at your house if the documents are left with a “person of suitable age and discretion” who lives there as well. More than a few parents might debate whether there teenager possess anything resembling “discretion,”
but if your son or daughter is handed a copy of a lawsuit, you are most likely responsible for knowing about it, even if they never gave it to you. For justice courts, what is known as Rule 4 service has an additional requirement. Under Justice Court Rule of Civil Procedure 112, in addition to a summons and complaint, a plaintiff must also serve a “Notice to Defendant” handout that explains the procedural requirements of the court system. Without it, a default judgment cannot go forward. Rule 5 service kicks in after the defendant has received the initial summons and complaint. It governs the distribution of all of the other documents involved in a lawsuit. For example, things like a Notice of Deposition or a Request for Production of Documents or a delay request, do not require you to hire another process server. Those documents can simply be mailed to the other side, but the rules can be confusing because they state that the other side must be “served” with various pleadings and motions. It is not hard to find someone with a good “How I avoided a process server” story, but bad news does not generally go away with the passage of time. Being sued is not a spectator sport and if either you or your business is named in a lawsuit, you should find out what is going on.

`Boo! Are you scared yet? Well, it’s time to pour a big Bloody Mary and enjoy Halloween. Oops, what I meant to say was it’s time to try and scare up the ghost of “Bloody Mary” by staring into a mirror that is in a dark room, by the light of thirteen candles, while chanting “Bloody Mary” thirteen times. The vengeful spirit will then appear at your left shoulder. The problem is once you see the spirit, she will either, 1) scratch your eyes out, 2) kill you, or 3) drive you insane. I think I will pour myself a really stiff drink and hope for number three. I like Halloween, but a couple (of nuts) in Los Angeles decided to take the holiday just a little too far. They planned a frightful wedding, with the bride wearing all black, the groom being carried to the altar in a coffin, and the minister dressed up as a devil! Oh, and the guests had to show up in Dracula-like costumes. Now there’s a marriage made in H-E-…(sorry, I keep forgetting that we are a family paper). Around town I’ve been seeing lots of little ghouls out and about, plus plenty of jack-o-lanterns to remind me that it’s time to dust off my witch’s hat, buy some candy, and then eat it all (because no child is walking up my dark, country driveway). This holiday has a long and spooky past and is much more than a “trick or treat” candy festival. Did you know that Halloween has a long tradition? What started out in the fifth century as “All Saints Day” was a day of observance in honor of saints with one weird twist – it was also the day that disembodied spirits came back to possess the living. The poor spirits had only one chance of an afterlife, and that was to intermingle with the living on this one particular day, in hopes of possessing a body! The living didn’t want to be possessed and in order to scare these roaming “body snatchers” away, they dressed up in terrifying costumes and paraded around their villages, making a huge racket and driving off the evil spirits. Sound familiar? Halloween has always been closely associated with the dead. During the ninth
Judy Bluhm
century, beggars went around to every home in their village asking for “soul cakes” on All Saints Day. The Europeans called this “souling.” These “treats” were given in exchange for the beggars praying for the dead relatives of the kind people who passed out the cakes, since it was believed that the dead relatives needed plenty of prayer to pass from limbo into heaven. These were the early days of “trick or treat.” Long before any of these practices, the Irish Celts were celebrating a new year in early November and having various sacrifices, prayer, and other spooky rituals. Let’s just say (since children may be reading this) that Halloween wasn’t always a fun little harmless holiday. It was serious enough to terrify plenty of people. Imagine having to ward off some bully of a spirit that wants to possess you! Did you know that Americans spend over five billion on Halloween decorations? If you thought Halloween was just a fabricated “candy holiday,” think again. This day of devils, ghosts, goblins, witches, and all things weird, strange, and “dead” has been around a very long time. But for most of us, it’s a day to watch the kids dress up and pass out treats, never to give a thought about some evil spirit
trying to possess us. However, it is considered a night when witches congregate, arriving on broomsticks to celebrate with a party hosted by the “Horned One.” They sit around, cast spells, and make mischief on Halloween, but I wouldn’t worry. I always dress up as a witch and have never been able to make much magic. (Although I have scared a few kids). I’ll be out in my witch’s hat, waiting to see the brave children come up my long, dark driveway, boldly asking for a treat. Actually, most years no kids show up. Just a few javelinas will come and see if I was foolish enough to place any more pumpkins out for them to devour. Oh well, if I get bored, I could put my clothes on inside out and walk backwards for thirty paces. If all conditions are “purrfect” and I manage to walk backwards in the shadow of the moon and an owl is watching, legend has it that I will turn into a black cat – for one night only. Who needs a costume on Halloween? Have yourself a bowl of candy and a big “Bloody Mary.” Oh, and be sure to be kind to black cats. Meow for now.

DVUSD Governing Board candidates Two Deer Valley Unified School District Governing Board seats are being voted on this election. Current board members Kelly Gorman and Christy Agosta are not seeking reelection, so the board will be getting two new members. See last week’s DVUSD board candidate profiles online at www.TheFoothillsFocus.com.
Candidate John Allen
Candidate Kimberly Fisher Candidate Ann O’Brien
Candidate Bob Stambach
NORTH VALLEY – Governing board candidate John Allen wants to see the DVUSD address budget shortfalls and help ensure that district employees make a living wage. “We can’t have effective learning without quality teachers,” Allen said. “District employees have lost ground in salaries and respect; many of them have to take on outside jobs just to support their families.” Allen wants to see the district “reassess and realign budget priorities.” Teacher retention has been an ongoing issue in the district, and teacher pay is a component of that. “The top concerns that I feel are facing the district are employee morale, employee compensation, and choosing authentic assessments that will demonstrate student growth,” Allen noted. A ten-year resident of the DVUSD, Allen has worked in education both in the district and in other educational facilities. “I have devoted 25 years to education as an academic advisor at the college level, a high school teacher, a high school administrator, and coach at both the college and high school levels,” Allen said, listing his background for the governing board position. “I believe that those experiences have prepared me for a governing board position, as I bring a specific educational perspective to the job.” Allen feels that the district needs to readdress dealings with teachers and staff. If elected, he wants to help show teachers that the district values them as high-quality educators. “I have been disappointed with the way employees have been treated over the last several years, and I felt it was time to correct the situation,” Allen said. “Too many teachers are leaving the district each year, causing a shortage of highly qualified and fully certified teachers for our students.” John Allen does not have a campaign Web site.
NORTH VALLEY – As an 18-year resident of the DVUSD, Kimberly Fisher is running for the governing board to tackle the issue of disconnect between parents and the district. “I have been involved with my children’s education at the school level,” Fisher related. “I started attending the board meetings earlier this year because some questionable things were happening in Special Education. I noticed immediately that there were issues in the administration of the district and each board meeting was filled with manipulations and arguments.” As Fisher continued to attend meetings and research district issues, parents began seeking her advice. “As parents began to turn to me and I was able to help some of them, several asked if I would consider running for the board to use my experience and education to help ensure sound decisions are being made and families/ staff are being listened to,” Fisher said. The disconnect from the community is one of three issues Fisher identifies as primary concerns for the district; she also lists limited funding and employee retention as top concerns. “School district funding has been limited for some time,” Fisher noted, adding that she feels that funds need to be gotten into classrooms and that non-tax options need to be utilized. “Through the use of cooperative agreements and external funding sources, base funding can be used to a greater extent in the classroom or for direct education of children,” said Fisher. Fisher wants to see the DVUSD become known as a ‘Desired Employer,’ which she says is achieved through “empowerment of the employee and “increased site-based governance.” “Employees at each site and the families they work with know best what issues they are facing and often they have manageable solutions if they are given the opportunity to provide input.” Fisher feels she has the background to help move the district forward. “My experience includes significant experience in HR, school finance, contract negotiations and management, legal compliance, and administration of special needs habilitation programs.” If elected, Fisher aims to strengthen community partnerships. “I believe we need strong district, school, parent, and community partnerships. To create and build these relationships requires active communication between all parties concerned.” To see more about Kimberly Fisher, visit www.kimfisher4edu.com.
NORTH VALLEY – Bob Stambach is running for the DVUSD governing board because he feels that he can add perspective and order to the workings of the board and district. “We have important things to deal with, and we need to stay focused on what’s best for the students,” Stambach emphasized. “I started regularly attending Governing Board meetings over two years ago. I’ve watched the proceedings and the decisions that have been made, along with the behavior of board members and the public.” Stambach says he has been “appalled” at what he has witnessed at these meetings. “We do everything we can to keep our children from bullying and being bullied, yet I’ve witnessed just that sort of thing occur in many of these meetings,” he said. “I believe we need to put a stop to that behavior, and with my experience and skills in conflict resolution, my negotiating skills, and my professional demeanor, I believe I can help keep some calm and some order within the board.” Stambach sees several issues facing the district. “Teacher workload, student count, and compensation are major areas of concern not only for this district but throughout the entire educational system,” Stambach noted. “With 25 years of corporate experience mostly in senior management roles, overseeing large organizations like this district, I have learned that quick, simple solutions are not the best answer in the long run. Considerable thought has to be given to the consequences of major decisions, and that is often ignored. “ Stambach holds a degree in Finance and Risk Management and has years of corporate experience, as well extensive DVUSD volunteering experience. Referring to the DVUSD, Stambach said, “In order to effectively run an organization like this, you need to be able to delineate fact from perception and always remember that the numbers relate to people whether student count, employees, salaries, or whatever.” If elected, Stambach wants to help the board calmly deal with conflict. “It is my belief that when we resolve as a board to do the right things in its entirety, that it will become more civil, productive, professional, and finally able to focus on our most important area – and that is the wellbeing of our students.” See more about Bob Stambach at Facebook, Bob Stambach for DVUSD Governing Board.

As the elections for being on the DVUSD governing board quickly approach, candidate Ann O`Brien stresses her desire to better students` educational experience. Mother of two; four year Parent Teacher Student Association president; and founding member of the Academy of American Studies at Sandra Day O`Connor High School, O`Brien devotes her time to enhance school systems for students. “I am committed to ensuring students are provided with an excellent education along with opportunities to enable them to succeed in a competitive world beyond high school,” said O`Brien. She hopes to further increase her involvement by being elected to the governing board so that decisions are made in the best interest of the students, according to O`Brien. The Nov. 4 elections will give O`Brien a chance to fulfill her goals and work to resolve issues facing the district. “The District’s greatest challenge is providing a high quality education that fosters student achievement,” said O`Brien, “while striking a balance between a limited budget and the need for responsible use of taxpayer resources.” Her passion for the improvement of her community stems from her own children. She started in 2004 cutting, collecting, and counting tons of small misshaped Box Tops at Stetson Hills School in her kid’s classrooms, but she yearned to do more than just be a Box Top mom. She became consumed with helping and doing what was right for the children of the entire district. Out of that consumption came a compassion and concern that continues to grow today. Ten years she has been involved in the district, and for ten years she has advocated excellence for all children. “My experiences with the District provided me invaluable knowledge which will allow me to establish relationships with various stakeholder groups while continuing to solve issues facing the District,” said O`Brien. With the elections almost near, O`Brien hopes to increase her contributions to the DVUSD community. See http://electannobrien. com for more info.

Carolyn Sato: Discovering the treasure within S hea Sta nf i e l d
CAVE CREEK – Local artist Carolyn Hansen Sato believes, “We celebrate life most deeply when we connect to our Source, search for and discover the treasure within us, follow our hearts and ride our waves until our souls blossom and take flight.” Carolyn is a sculptor who excels in crafting her naturally organic bronze creations to feel ethereal and as eternal as the human spirit in their naturally organic forms. To be in the presence of these magnificent pieces simply takes the viewer’s breath away. Growing up on Diamond Lake in Minneapolis, Minn., Carolyn was no stranger to the natural elements of the earth. Her environment was filled with colorful forms, brilliant summer skies, and gleaming water surfaces. No detail escaped the careful observation of her creative spirit. Carolyn’s favorite subjects were the trees that grew in the area. She would spend hours collecting their leaves, pods, and cones. She loved the view
of the lake and the natural elements surrounding her home. The memory of that scene still brings her great joy and peace. Carolyn became interested in pottery and the beauty of Asian Ceramics while attending college at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. She entered graduate school and was looking forward to being an assistant to a famous potter professor, but as fate would have it, she met her husband-to-be in Rome, Italy, and ended up in Japan for the
next six years. It was here that her desire to create art that merges East with West, line with form, free-flowing with precision, and earthiness, with elegance became her focus. Upon returning to the United States, after her father passed away, Carolyn’s path took a very direct detour. Her family moved her mother to Scottsdale to help her get settled. The family fell in love with the desert and built a home in Cave Creek. During this time, Carolyn became
found once she returned to working with clay, she knew she had come home. At that point Carolyn took a leave of absence from teaching and concentrated on her sculpting full time. It wasn’t long before she was casting her work in bronze, and she never looked back. Today, businesses and individuals alike collect Carolyn’s work.

Commemorative pavers planned for WWII vets FLAIR Art Show set for Nov. 14-16
ANTHEM – Thirteen WWII women veterans will be honored with commemorative pavers at the Anthem Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day, prior to the start of the Veterans Day ceremony. The ceremony will be held at 9:30 a.m. The veterans to be honored are Lynn Engles, Bettie Lerdall, Lorayne Chris-
tensen, Ruth Power, Lorene Spencer, Margaret Faust, Jeanette Williams, Helen Disrud, Shirley Krabbe, Georgie Jones, C. Lynn Neda, Thelma Hoffman, and Lillian Clonts.

The Anthem Veterans Memorial is located in the Anthem Community Park, just off Gavilan Peak Parkway.

D-backs and Arizona Lottery Justin Boston racing at Phoenix International Raceway plant 100 trees PHOENIX – If only D-backs legend Luis Gonzalez had a tree for every bat he broke. That’s exactly what City of Phoenix parks received on Oct. 24 through the Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona Lottery ‘Break A Bat, Plant A Tree’ program. For every two opponent bats that a D-backs pitcher broke, the Dbacks and Arizona Lottery donated a tree to City of Phoenix parks. With nearly 200 opponent bats broken in 2014, three City of Phoenix parks will receive a total of 100 trees. Twenty-one newly-planted trees now stand just outside the outfield wall of Justin Upton Field, a field dedicated in 2012 as part of the Diamonds Back Field Building program. Phoenix City Councilman Michael Nowakowski and Luis Gonzalez joined in the planting (pictured). “This program is a great concept and if it existed when I was here, there would be a lot more trees around the city because I sure broke plenty of

bats in my career,” said Gonzalez. “I grew up in the inner city and a nice park like this provides a place of opportunity and a safe place for these kids to play and have a good time.” Special thanks to Katie Krause, D-backs Communication.

For the love of Puggles! Hi, I’m Ginger, a perfect blend of Pug and Chihuahua – a popular crossbreed of dogs. I am sure to light up your life with my loving personality. I am a little shy, but very gentle and loving, and I enjoy the company of others. I am very inquisitive with other pets and would do great in a household with other small dogs and cats. My foster mom says I am a mellow girl, very gentle with a calm energy. I never bark, I’m a quick learner, aim to please, extremely wellbehaved, fully crate trained, house trained and not the least bit aggressive. When I’m left alone at home, I have full run
of the house. When my foster mom returns home, she usually finds me lounging in my bed and I’ve never had an accident. Car rides are a blast! Another great quality is I barely shed, but don’t assume that means I’m suitable for a family with allergies. While I’m pretty tentative on a leash, I’m not really into super long walks. I’d be a great companion for a mellow household, and honestly a perfect dog for a retired family I am approximately 3 years old, 18 lbs., completely upto-date on all my vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. I do awesome at the vet’s office – no fear at all. If you’re looking to adopt a new companion, choose
me! Please call Anthem Pets at (480) 287-3542 to schedule a meet and greet – you’re sure to fall in love.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s opens Rancho Manana Discovery Center
CAVE CREEK – Cave Creek is the home base for the new Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Discovery Center at Rancho Manana. It was recently opened by local agents Tom Fulton and MariaElena Rizzo. The two agents have partnered in the venture on-site at the Rancho Manana Resort. “We saw an opportunity here to re-introduce the Rancho Manana Private Residence Club and related Real Estate assets,” Fulton said. “In addition, we provide a full ser-
vice brokerage to locals and visitors while they are enjoying the Rancho Manana Resort.” Rancho Manana’s long, rich history includes ranching, cotton farming, and in the late 1930s, a transformation into a Dude Ranch by the Loring and Lowdermilk families. Today, the Rancho Manana Resort resembles a Spanish Hacienda surrounded by lushly landscaped grounds and towering palm trees. The Resort includes the Rancho Manana Private Residence Club, a Championship golf course, a 16,000 sq.
ft. spa, resort-style pool, and the renowned Tonto Bar & Grill. Open houses are held daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. to see properties in the area and gain information on things to do. Fulton and Rizzo look forward to meeting with clients in this new office and discussing all their real-estate and vacation needs. For more info on the Rancho Manana Private Residence Club, visit www. RMPRC.com. The Rancho Manana Discovery Center is located at 5734 E Rancho Manana Blvd., in Cave Creek.

OHV Coalition awarded for improving air quality
NEW RIVER – The Public Lands Foundation awarded the Arizona OffHighway Vehicle Coalition the Landscape Stewardship Award for improving air quality at the Boulders and the Table Mesa Recreation areas. Money for the project came, in part, from the Arizona State Parks Off-Highway Vehicle decal/license fees. The Arizona OHV Coalition partnered with the Bureau
of Land Management to apply sealant on staging areas and major routes. The sealant hardens the dirt and helps prevent dust. The BLM nominated the Coalition for the national honor. The trail area is now in regulatory compliance with air quality standards. For more information on BLM projects in this area, visit www.blm.gov/az/st/en/ prog/recreation/camping/ dev_camps/table-mesa.html.

Carefree Village Center discussed at community workshop
CAREFREE – The Carefree Village Center is going to be getting some updates. The community is being asked to give input on the revitalization of the Center and what development they would like to see join the shops, businesses, and restaurants currently located there. The borders of the roughly triangular town center are Tom Darlington Drive and Cave Creek and Bloody Basin Roads (pictured in the aerial map). “You all are the experts,” Kevin Kugler, Director of Planning for one of the firms studying the area, said to an assembled group at a Carefree Village Master Plan workshop on Oct. 22. The bistro-style community workshop took place
at the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion in the heart of Carefree. Attendees moved from table to table in 15-minute increments, focusing on individual aspects of the project at each setting. A PowerPoint highlighting aspects of the project was shown and printed and handed out. Results of a survey regarding the Center were discussed and analyzed. Kugler referred to the planning as a “multi-faceted process,” noting that the area takes in about 40 acres and 176 businesses. Kugler noted that the plan is to “help attract customers and additional businesses” to the Carefree Village Center. “Investment begets investment,” Kugler added. Survey results indicated that more restaurants would be a welcome addition to the Center. Currently, tax records
indicate that Carefree residents frequently leave the town when they go out to eat. Part of the Master Plan’s aim is to reduce the “trade leakage” in Carefree, meaning that more residents would utilize businesses in the town instead of heading elsewhere for their shopping, dining, and entertainment. Kugler noted that the preliminary survey findings indicated that the Center is “only capturing a portion of what it could.” He also noted that Carefree’s current development has the town “well ahead of the curve.” The next community meeting about the Carefree Village Center is tentatively planned for this December. Further meeting dates will be published when they are finalized.
Kiwanis hosting community yard sale NEW RIVER – The New River Kiwanis is hosting a community yard sale at the Kiwanis park at New River Road and 15th Ave., on Saturday, Nov. 8, starting at 8 a.m. The Kiwanis is renting shaded spaces, 10 X 6, for $20, or non-shaded spaces for $10. If you do not wish to purchase a space, the Kiwanis can take your material items and sell them on your behalf. All of the proceeds from space sale and material
donations will go towards the Kiwanis International project, Project Eliminate. Kiwanis has partnered with UNICEF to eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus. This disease kills a baby every nine minutes in third-world countries. Project Eliminate is committed to raising $110 million by 2017. Women in these affected countries receive a series of three shots, costing $0.60 each, a total of $1.80.These shots protect the woman and her future
babies from this debilitating disease. The Kiwanis program has so far been highly successful, but more funds still are needed to altogether eliminate this disease. If you are interesting in renting a spot for the community yard sale, please contact Patty Faber at (623) 465-0229 by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. The New River Senior Center, just north of the park, is also having a sale at the same time.

Claws N’ Paws holding customer appreciation event Humane society offers Halloween
pet safety tips
NEW RIVER – Pet grooming salon Claws N’ Paws is holding Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The groomer will be offering
a 10 percent discount on services that day. Walk-ins will be accepted. Lemonade and cake will be available for customers. This salon grooms dogs, cats, and small pets like rabbits, as well. Services avail-
able include grooming, baths, and nail trims. For more information, call Claws N’ Paws at (623) 465-8765. The salon is located at 46639 N. Black Canyon Hwy., in New River.
PHOENIX – A good scare isn’t much fun for pets. The Arizona Humane Society has assembled tips to help keep pets safe and comfortable on Halloween. Keep pets indoors! Pets may be frightened by costumed children at the door and could escape through the door when it’s opened. Don’t let pets accompany kids trick-or-treating. Pets can also become victims of animal cruelty – watch them carefully. Keep candy, which may be toxic and present choking hazards, away from pets. Make sure your pet has
current ID. AHS recommends a microchip, complemented by a collar and I.D. tag. By law, dogs must have a current Maricopa County license. If your pet is frightened or uncomfortable, don’t make him wear a costume – try for a quick photo op instead. Never leave a pet in a costume unattended. Use caution around jack-o-lanterns and other decorations that could cause burns and start a fire. Some decorations may pose a choking hazard for pets or get stuck in a pet’s intestines if ingested. For more info, see www.azhumane.org.
