Now Goddard is running for the office of Arizona Secretary of State. Goddard is zealously campaigning against the use of dark money in elections, citing it as “one of the biggest threats facing voters in this election.” ‘Dark money’ is a campaign donation that does
Michele Reagan describes herself as a “proud fiscal conservative.” Reagan’s experience includes working in the Arizona legislature and senate. Her campaign Web site notes that she has “helped lead Arizona out of economic recession” and worked to “balance the budget.” “The two areas of law I have focused on in my twelve years serving at the Arizona State Capitol have been business law and election law,” Reagan said. “In the Arizona House, I served as Chairwoman of the Commerce Committee, and in the Arizona State Senate, I served as Chairwoman of the Senate Elections Committee.”

COMMUNITY NEWS from pg. 4
The effort will improve connectivity for pronghorn antelope between habitat areas on the park. Pronghorn will not jump fences. Instead, they will either try to go under, sometimes fatally injuring themselves, or completely avoid crossing the fence. Eighteen volunteers joined Game and Fish and National Park staff on the project, representing the Sierra Club, National Parks Conservation Association, and Friends of the Petrified Forest. Volunteers came from as far away as Phoenix and Kingman. The fences removed included old grazing pasture fences and a one-time park boundary fence. Livestock are no longer grazed in this area of the park. The portion of boundary fence that was removed dates from before the park acquired new land as part of the Petrified Forest National Park Expansion Act of 2004. Removal of old, unnecessary fencing will allow pronghorn to move freely though the park and beyond the park boundary. Many more miles of fencing need to be removed. Arizona Game and Fish will continue to work with the Petrified National Forest on future fence removal projects. Volunteers are welcome to help with this project. To volunteer, contact Dave Dorum at the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Pinetop office at (928) 367-4281.

Letter to the Editor Today’s Lesson in Voting – Why voting YES YES can ultimately save money We all should vote YES in support of the Cave Creek Unified School District bond questions. I can give countless selfless reasons why, but voters have already heard them. Let me instead be the only person to tell the story of why we need to vote in favor of both bond questions for purely selfish reasons. In fact, we need to support the school bonds for the most selfish reason of all…MONEY. Because we have voted NO for so long in this community, we have lost students. Some parents have left the district and even the state because they want to raise their children in a community that supports the best education possible. In CCUSD, we have been less than supportive, and we are paying a high price for nonsupport, around $3 million per year. How can this be? Well, when our comparatively small enrollment drops the school district BELOW HALF of the “qualifying tax rate,” or “QTR,” we get penalized. The state automatically charges us a special tax that is the difference between our calculated tax rate based on enrollment and half of the QTR. This money does NOT go to our own schools. Rather, it goes
to the general fund to support other schools in the state. The only way to get this tax penalty removed from our bill is to bring enrollment back up by around 225 students. The result would, of course, add another $1 million or so to the base tax we pay, but this $1 million would stay home in CCUSD and support our own students, teachers, and local economy. In addition, we’d have $2 million left over to pay for other things we need in the school district, like these bonds or overrides. The only way to bring enrollment back up is to support the schools. Fix the buildings. Renovate the Fine Arts Center that serves our entire arts-centric community. Buy buses with air conditioning. Show parents that we really do care about kids. Pump $40 million over the next several years into our local economy and not someone else’s. This is the best business decision our community can make. YES YES is a WIN WIN for our students, the local community and ultimately…also our tax bill. Finally, if you have found this lesson useful, please also vote for me, Cynthia Weiss, candidate for the Cave Creek Unified School District Governing Board. Thank you. Cynthia Weiss

Movie Review
Dracula Untold
Mo n t e Y az z ie
Bram Stoker’s iconic monster finds an origin story in “Dracula Untold,” though the vision of darkness is substituted with a less immortal creature for a more morally human leader forced into a desperate decision to save his family and homeland. Director Gary Shore incorporates most of the typical subgenre tropes and attempts to lavish up the story with breakneck CGI that mostly feels like a distraction. Vlad (Luke Evans), retired from Impaling, lives a peaceful life with his wife Mirena (Sarah Gadon) and son (Art Parkinson). Peace doesn’t last long as the head of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Mehmed (Dominic Cooper), demands one thousand Transylvanian boys for his forces, including Vlad’s only child. Faced with this decision, Vlad chooses defiance, though he is

severely undermanned for the impending war. Knowing defeat is imminent, Vlad follows folklore into a cave, where he meets an ancient supernatural force (Charles Dance). Vlad is granted the power to defeat his enemies, but in order to regain his mortal life, he must resist the temptation to feed on blood or risk being a creature of the night for eternity. Much of the vampire mythos remains intact here: blood serves as life, while sunlight and silver are still objects of weakness. Vlad is portrayed counter to the brutal tales that typify his legend; here, Vlad is an honorable family man and diligent ruler. However, his past exploits of ruthless warfare are still presented, given explanation by an upbringing in captivity and a motivation to strike fear into his enemies. The progression of Vlad’s character happens rather quickly and somewhat sloppily. It soon becomes a
waiting game for the impending encounter with the dark force. This meeting is the shining moment in the film, particularly because of the use of veteran actor Charles Dance as The Master Vampire. Dance controls the scene with a menacing allure, playfully taping his long fingernails across the drawn sword of Vlad before easily disarming him. It’s easily the scariest moment, a loosely used term here, in the film. The progression of Vlad’s abilities is exaggerated by an abundance of computer graphics. Thousands of bats uniformly assisting in battle sequences as Vlad orchestrates with a composer-like performance, while in other scenes hand-to-hand combat shifts with a mix of hyper movements that are reminiscent of the producing company’s other property “300.” It never works as nicely as it should, mostly because it’s not implemented with any subtlety to enhance the scene, instead feeling more distracting and overdone. Luke Evans does a suitable job as Vlad, his fear for his family and regrets of his past coming through nicely in a few scenes. With “Dracula Untold” you are getting everything the trailer conveys, simply an effects-driven horror film that offers the viewer a safe Halloween option at the movie theater. Unfortunately for genre fans looking for the frightening Dracula from Stoker’s tale, this origin is fairly tame.

And the winner is….a 2,096 pound pumpkin! That’s right, Dear Readers, the voters have weighed in, and a man with a small farm in Switzerland is now the world champion of pumpkin growers. He bested last year’s California farmer, who had a 2,032 pounder. That makes a whole lot of pies! Do you have what it takes to grow a two thousand pound pumpkin? No, I didn’t think so. First place in this distinguished contest also comes with a check for about ten thousand bucks, which has me thinking that I might try and grow one of those monsters for next year. The question is: how would you go about such an enormous undertaking? Perhaps the real question that needs answering is: could a pumpkin get that large without being pumped up on steroids? Hey, I hate to be cynical, but when one pumpkin is able to make six thousand pies, you have to wonder. Do pumpkin contests have the same rigorous testing as athletes? Oops, guess I answered my own question. When Olympic champions are confessing to juicing up and are forced to give back medals, how could we ever really know what lurks in the veins of that “plumped-up” pumpkin? Oh, but I do love to see all those pumpkins (of normal sizes) being proudly displayed around yards and porches this time of
year. It is the gentle reminder that autumn has arrived and Halloween and Thanksgiving will be coming right around the corner. Cooler breezes are in the air and it is time to celebrate. No more triple digit temperatures! It’s also the season to get out my famous pumpkin cookie recipe, which if we each ate just one a day, we’d be sure to weigh about as much as the “world’s largest pumpkin.” I love all things autumn, so I thought I would make a festive display of about a dozen pumpkins around my driveway and walkway to the front door. I then had to drive into to town and when I came back, I learned a very festive lesson. Javelinas love pumpkins! And they do not only come out at night when tempted with their favorite treat. As I drive up my quiet lane, I am stunned to see smashed, gooey pumpkins and huge piggies with bright
orange faces barely taking notice of me when I pull in the driveway. Hey, stop eating my autumn decorations! No, that colony of javelinas are in hog heaven! They are having the feast of a lifetime and every single one of my pumpkins are being devoured by this group of intruders. It is one heck of a clean-up nightmare that awaits me! So much for decorating. But I can still bake! Of course, I was thinking that maybe we need to eat healthy, like the Pilgrims, who would not have indulged in sweets like pumpkin cookies or pies. Those early settlers had no ovens for proper baking. Six months after arriving in America, they had run out of sugar. So they improvised and sliced off the top of a pumpkin, removed the seeds and strings and filled the insides with milk, spices, and honey. Then the pumpkin was placed on hot ashes to get warm and the “goop’ was spooned out into bowls, like pudding. Now that you have the recipe, please try it and let me know how it tastes. I think I will stick to my cookies. I read that a woman in Christopher Creek had just baked a pumpkin pie and set it on her kitchen countertop. She went outside to feed the birds, leaving her outside door open. When she went back into the house, a hungry, black bear was standing in her kitchen! The terrified (and clever) woman quickly tossed the bear the pie, which he immediately grabbed and stared at for a moment. Happily, the big beast Judy Bluhm stuck his face in the pie, grunted loudly and ran out the door with the best dessert he may have ever tasted. The lucky lady now claims her scrumptious pumpkin pie saved her life. Pumpkins represent all things autumn and for some, they may even be a “life-saver.” For others, an opportunity to grow the giant of all pumpkins. Take a walk on the wild side and make a pie or pudding, bake a cookie, maybe even feed a javalina. Stay safe and look out for bears! Harvest is here.

Ballot Props from pg. 1
Every Arizona resident who is eligible to vote can vote on the three statewide propositions being presented this year, props 122, 303, and 304. Prop 122 Proposition 122 would amend the Arizona constitution to say that the state may restrict financial resources from federal actions if the people or the representatives so decide. This prop would affect various state programs and would alter the control of the state’s natural resources. Supporters of Prop 122, as quoted in Arizona’s General Election Guide, state that this initiative will restrict the federal government and give the state more control. Opponents of Prop 122, also quoted in the Election Guide, say that this measure will weaken federal protection for natural resources, including clean air and water legislation. Voting yes will change the state’s constitution to give state representatives the right to withhold state funds from federal legislation, if so chosen. Voting no will retain current laws. Prop 303 Proposition 303, known as the ‘Right To Try Act,’ will allow terminally patients who have a recommendation from their doctor to be eligible for not-yet-FDAapproved treatments. Patients would have give written consent for the use of the treatments, which will include investigational drugs. The Election Guide offers submitted arguments for the passage of this measure; arguments include patient health and increased healthcare control. No arguments opposing it were submitted to the Election Guide. Voting yes on prop 303 will amend Title 36 of the Arizona Revised Statutes so that terminally ill patients who have their physicians’ consent
can use investigational medications that are still in FDA trials. Voting no will retain the current law. Prop 304 Proposition 304 would provide for an increase in state legislators’ salaries, from $24,000 to $35,000 per year. Supporters of this prop say that increasing pay for legislators will allow more people to afford to serve as legislators. Representatives of the Arizona Judges Association, as quoted in the Election Guide, state that legislators have not had a raise since 1999. Those in opposition refer to the majority of legislators as part-time and say that the job is not supposed to be treated as employment. Voting yes on prop 304 will raise state legislators’ salaries to $35,000. Voting no will keep legislators’ salaries at $24,000. Maricopa County: Prop 480 In prop 480, the Maricopa County Special Health Care District is asking county voters to approve the issuance and sale of bonds, not to exceed $935 million. These funds are planned to support the teaching hospital, including the Level One Trauma Center and Arizona Burn Center. The debt service on the bonds will be paid by a property tax increase, reported to be less than $14 per $100,000 of valuation. Supporters of prop 480 say that this money will help create jobs in healthcare and construction, as well as provide better healthcare services for everyone, including patients with mental illnesses. Opponents call this prop a blank check for the healthcare district and say it will cost too much. Voting yes will approve the bonds; voting no will disapprove the bonds, and retain the current funding. City of Phoenix: Prop 487 Prop 487, which applies to city of Phoenix residents, is a proposed amendment to the city charter that will change city employees’ re-
The Foothills Focus
tirement plans. The prop would eliminate participation in the current retirement plan and establish a plan for new employees, also allowing current employees to transfer into the new plan. Supporters of prop 487 say this will reform pension plans and stop pension spiking, making pensions more similar to the private sector and ultimately saving city funds. Opponents say this will cost money to implement and that the pension changes may have consequences for city workers. The language of the initiative is such that it will likely be challenged in court if approved. Opponents have argued that the prop will do away with firefighters and police officers’ death benefits; supporters say that is not the case. Voting yes on prop 487 will change city employees’ retirement terms. Voting no will keep current retirement plans in place. Town of Carefree: Props 488 and 489 Both propositions 488 and 489 only apply to Carefree citizens. Prop 488 would change councilmembers terms from two years to staggered four-year terms, starting in 2016. Prop 489 would change the mayor’s term from two years to four years. Supporters of prop 488 say the initiatives would cut down on new councilmembers’ learning curve time and save the town time and money. Supporters of 489 say it will save time and money on elections, as well as keep continuity in town government. Opponents say both props give voters less of a say in town matters. Voting yes on prop 488 will change Carefree councilmembers’ terms to four years; voting no will keep terms at two years. Voting yes on prop 489 will change the Carefree mayor’s term to four years; voting no will keep terms at two years. For more information on voting, see www.azsos.gov.

ARTS
Sal La Rocca: Sharing the space with the wind Shea S ta nf i e l d
“Photography ignites the imagination, enables seeing beyond visual expression and transcends language in awakening new possibilities.” Local photographer Sal La Rocca’s goal is to create images that explore the possibilities in new interpretations of color and space. A master at his craft and a compelling visual artist, Sal offers all of this and more in his hauntingly beautiful images. Sal was born and raised in the northeast. He moved with his wife Sandra to Cave Creek from Massachusetts in 1996 following a successful 32-year business career in Sales and Marketing. The last 28 years was with Polaroid Corporation where he began to polish his skills in photography. Sal’s love of the Southwestern landscapes started many years before in 1973 when he was introduced to the rough edges and sleek side of the wild Sonoran Desert during a business trip. In subsequent years, Sal and Sandra returned to the area during their
vacations. In 2005, at the urging of family and friends who enjoyed his images, Sal created his new enterprise, Southwest Images Etc. This would take his joy and passion for photography into primetime. Sal is a self-taught student in darkroom processing and astrophotography. While exploring the night sky, Sal added his photographic knowledge while capturing images through his 11-inch telescope housed in his home built obser-
changing vibrant color palette. To capture this to share with others is a wonderful and challenging experience. Initially, creating the most captivating images begins simply with going into the wild in search of the subject. In Sal’s case it could be local landscapes, different parts of the country, or even traveling abroad. Seeking out that most elusive and alluring light, shape, color, or composition is the primary initial focus of a great image. Often, in the process, Sal is drawn off the path in search of a hidden possibility. He enjoys feeling the energy and spirit of the location, as he would describe it “sharing the space with the wind and silent creatures around you…. each image requires patience and a healthy amount of luck. It’s the greatest feeling when you know you’ve got it.” The creative process goes a few steps further when Sal utilizes Adobe Photoshop to enhance some of his images. One technique involves removing all the color from the
vatory. Soon Sal accumulated in excess of 10,000 35mm slides from the skies about and his various travels. Using environmental elements and his imagination, Sal’s images introduce emotion and style into his images others can enjoy. The goal is to transport the viewer to the location, sharing the excitement of the captured moment. Sal comments, “The Southwest offers all the elements for creating endless moods with an ever-
photograph, reverting to a line drawing, adding color in high contrast, then working on the individual hues and manipulating the saturation and sharpness. The process is extremely time-consuming, but the results are absolutely stunning. The possibilities are endless for capturing Mother Nature’s images when she isn’t looking. Sal is a member of the Sonoran Arts League. Meet him and enjoy a large variety of his images at Studio #16 during the Hidden In The Hills Studio Tour, Nov. 2123 and 29-30, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. For further information on the tour, visit www.sonoranartsleague.org. To view images in Sal La Rocca’s portfolio online, visit his Web site at www. southwestimagesetc.com. Here you can learn more about Sal’s process, contact him with questions, or purchase your favorite creations for your home, office, or as that perfect gift.

who is not accepting “any corporate or special interest money.” Asked how he would combat the use of dark money, Goddard responded that it would take “careful research and dogged determination” and cited his work as Attorney General when fighting cartels. “Good law enforcement procedures can uncover the names of the original contributors to many dark money groups, even without an enabling statute,” Goddard said. “The Secretary of State can publish the names of groups that continue to conceal the original source of their funds with the names of the candidates they are bankrolling.” Goddard noted that he would give the legislature “one more chance” to pass a dark money disclosure law; if that fails, he will “lead a citizen initiative to bring the issue to the voters.” “We need to require all dark money groups involved in political action show their donors – just as every other political contributor has to do,” Goddard emphasized. “Arizona voters have the right to know who is trying to buy our votes.” Goddard states he is running for office because he has become “increasingly worried about the quality of our democracy in Arizona.” “I have seen the state I love go through ups and downs, booms and busts,” Goddard said. “The Arizona we want is not the Arizona we’re getting. An increase in big money in politics is silencing citizens’ voices. I am running so I can help restore Arizona to be the nationally respected, innovative, and moderate state it has been for most of its 102 years.” See more about Terry Goddard at www.terrygoddard.com.
then turn them in on Election Day,” Reagan said. “I worked to stop this practice with all 15 county recorders comprised of nine Democrats and six Republicans around the state who all supported my legislation in 2013 to ban this practice. Unfortunately, this did not become law and as Secretary of State, I will work to make this practice illegal, because it is in every other state.” On her Web site, Reagan lists another goal: updating the current Secretary of State Web site, calling some of the features “antiquated and out of date.” She promises to overhaul the site within the first 100 days of her administration, if elected. An Illinois native, Reagan moved to Arizona in 1991 and is currently a resident of Scottsdale. “I moved to Arizona three days after I graduated from college in Illinois to start a family business,” Reagan related. “I told my parents it was going to be temporary and I was going to move back to Chicago, but I fell in love with Arizona and have been here ever since.” Reagan cites past experience as her reason for running for SOS, as well as her belief that she can “bring greater transparency and accountability to the office.” “After the battle to pass my election legislation in 2013, I realized that so much more could be accomplished if I became the Secretary of State,” Reagan added.

Candidate Darcy Tweedy NORTH VALLEY – Governing board candidate Darcy Tweedy is running for a reason – she’s a teacher and has a self-described “passion for education.” Tweedy has taught kindergarten through college classes and holds a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Reading Emphasis and a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, with Early Childhood Concentration. She also has three children who are DVUSD students. School funding is a top concern for Tweedy. “Educational funding is always a challenge, so it is imperative that the limited resources be allocated thoughtfully and responsibly,” she said. “My top priorities are ensuring educational funds are spent efficiently to maximize the dollars that reach the classroom, as well as employee retention and community relations.”
Tweedy noted that the district has a budget deficit but that the board has approved five director positions. “A school district has a duty to operate as efficiently as possible to ensure maximum education dollars reach the classrooms,” Tweedy said. Tweedy also addressed the district’s plans for a new school in the Sonoran Foothills. “The district’s enrollment has declined for several years,” she noted. “Consequently, there are nine underenrolled schools. Spending millions of dollars on new schools and costly renovations without a plan for the nine under-enrolled schools is fiscally irresponsible. It is not a sustainable model to operate schools below capacity and continue to build new schools. I would insist the governing board and district administration seek community input,
Candidate Trilese DiLeo NORTH VALLEY – Trilese DiLeo developed a passion for education when she had a son with special needs. One of six candidates running for the two available Deer Valley Unified School District Governing Board seats, DiLeo states her goal as “trying to effect positive change for all children.” DiLeo refers to leadership as the most pressing concern she currently has within the district, noting the need for “accountability and transparency within the leadership.” As a parent of a child in the Deer Valley school system, she feels that changes need to be made in the way DVUSD leadership addresses concerns of parents and teachers. As a Marine Corps veteran and long-time businesswoman with a masters de-
gree in business management and bachelors in marketing, DiLeo feels she has the resources to offer good leadership. In working with the Phoenix and Scottsdale Chambers, DiLeo helped develop a program that networked teachers with community businesses to help cultivate “real world application in teaching.” She runs an affordable housing program with government financial audit requirements and describes herself as “familiar with how detail-oriented the government is in financial matters.” A DVUSD ‘native,’ DiLeo grew up in DVUSD schools, including Desert Winds, Constitution, Esperanza, Deer Valley Middle School, and Barry Goldwater High School. She noted that when she attended DVUSD
study the issue, and create a comprehensive plan before beginning any more costly construction projects.” As a teacher, Tweedy is well aware of how many teachers have left the district. “Over 600 teachers have left the district during the past two years!” Tweedy said. “High quality education cannot happen without high quality teachers in the classroom.” She proposes exit interviews for resigning employees to identify issues, then using that data to form an action plan. “As the mother of three Deer Valley students, I have a commitment to this district,” Tweedy said. “I believe my educational background would provide the strong leadership necessary as the Deer Valley Governing Board makes pivotal decisions to conquer these challenges.” See more about Darcy Tweedy at www.darcyfordv.com.
schools, they were highly acclaimed, and teachers tended to stay working within the district. Teacher retention is a hot-button issue in the DVUSD, as the district has lost several hundred teachers and other staff members in recent school years. DiLeo has planned an exit-interview program for staff leaving the DVUSD, noting that while pay is important, the board needs to “look beyond just the pay.” She wants to offer teachers incentives and “help them feel more valued and respected.” If elected, DiLeo says she wants to “be that member who anybody can come to and say, ‘Hey, can you look into this.’” She feels that those who “come with a concern should get it addressed.” For more information on Trilese DiLeo, see www.dileofordeervalley.com.

See how little we kittens were when we were rescued?
We immediately became famous after Foothills Focus wrote an article about our rescue. We were bottle fed and nurtured by a loving foster, and now we are ready to meet our forever family. We are a super sweet, cuddly, and curious little pair that loves to explore and spend time with our foster family. We love to gaze out the window and watch birds, play with our jingle balls, and climb our scratch posts. We’re easy to please and the best nap buddies ever!
Smoki is a charcoal grey male. Give him a soft fleece bed and he’s good to go at naptime! Weber is a gorgeous Brown Tabby…kiss his tiny paw pads and he’s immediately in love! Together, they make a wonderful duo – full of life and adventures that they want to share with you. If you can offer Smoki and Weber a loving, fully-committed, lifetime home or would like to know more about them, please call Anthem Pets at (480) 287-3542 or email at anthempets@yahoo.com. It would be great if these love bugs could stay together, but that’s not required. These kids are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All they need now is to find their forever family. If you’re not in a position to adopt but would still like to help Anthem Pets, please consider making a donation so we can continue to rescue animals like this from a life of cruelty and neglect. Anthem Pets is a nonprofit organization serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Operating on donations only, it aims to find forever homes for abandoned animals and return wayward pets to owners. For more information, visit www.anthempets.org.
