Shoppers turned out early for Moonlight Madness at the Outlets at Anthem. For the third straight years shoppers had the opportunity to start their holiday shopping on Thanksgiving Night. To view more photos from Thursday’s festivities go to facebook.com/ thefoothills.focus.
Crowds come to Anthem, commence holiday shopping MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
Twas the night before Black Friday when all through the Outlets at Anthem shoppers by the car full showed up to start their Christmas shopping. Despite rain drops falling on their heads, the chance to get a drop on their fellow shoppers proved too tempting for a female-dominated crowd that turned out from all across the Valley. Susan Avans, of Avondale, drove up to the Outlets with her friend Sierra Garcia, of Phoenix, looking to do some shopping for her husband and son. Garcia said she took a nap after her Thanksgiving meal to prepare for a late night of shopping.
Inside:
Avans said she was contemplating going without sleep as she was due for an early morning, having to be at work at 5 a.m. on Friday. When asked how she planned to accomplish such a feat she pointed to her double fisted caffeine combo of pop and coffee. “We’ve got the stores mapped out where they are,” Garcia said as they waited for the Nike store to open up. “We’re going to hit the Coach store and the toy store too after this.” Courtney Elkins, the manager of Aeropostale, is going through her third Christmas shopping season at the Outlets at Anthem. While many stores advertised

Cactus Shadows, Boulder Creek faceoff in season opening matchup MARC BUCKHOUT MANAGING EDITOR
For a pair of veteran coaches today’s 4:30 p.m. wrestling meet at Boulder Creek High School will serve as a new beginning of sorts. For Boulder Creek coach Doug Crooks it is simply reclaiming a title he turned over to his assistant and former pupil Kory Gilliland for a couple years. “I’ve been coaching wrestling for 19 years,” he said. “I started the program up here, but when Kory who wrestled for me at Goldwater started working as one of my assistants I figured a couple of seasons ago that it would be the right thing to do to give him his shot running the team.”
After a two-year run the two have flip-flopped titles again with Gilliland now serving as an assistant under Crooks once again. At Cactus Shadows Jim Swetter, the third coach in three seasons at the Cave Creek school, looks to bring some stability to the program and instill hard-nosed attitudes in his wrestlers. While the former heavyweight at Kent State, where he recorded 100 collegiate wins as a member of the Golden Flashes wrestling program, is still new to Arizona he has seven years of high school coaching experience to his credit from his days in Ohio. “So far I’ve liked what I’ve seen,” Swetter said. “We’ve got a hard working group that

is pushing to get better each day. We’ll have a lot better feel for what we need to work on after {today’s} match.” BOULDER CREEK Crooks said that with a largely young lineup he is counting on his team improving as the season goes along. ”We have a saying that the season isn’t a sprint, but a marathon,” Crooks said. The veteran coach, who likes to change things up on his team, by having them practice to classical music said he’s got some solid candidates to play the role of the team’s lead conductor this season. Among that bunch are senior

meet Continued from page 1 team captain Joey Cantelme, who figures to wrestle at 195 pounds. “Sometimes the bigger guys take flack about their work ethic, but he sets an example for the other guys in here,” Crooks said. Other veterans with a shot at turning heads include seniors Vincent Paterno at 220 pounds and Sean Pratt at 152 pounds along with junior Kyle Fantin at 113 pounds. Among his young stable of talent sophomore Jro Byrd at 170
pounds and Branson Tibbs a freshman have stood out. While Mike Contreras, who won state at 140 pounds a season ago, is gone the coach said his former teammates learned from watching his dominant senior season. “It gets the program exposure, but more importantly than that a lot of these kids were around him every day last season,” Crooks said. “They know that they are doing the same workouts he was.

CACTUS SHADOWS In establishing his style of wrestling Swetter said there’s a balance to working with the skills that wrestlers have already developed and having them work to implement his style of attack. “The kids have been really receptive,” he said. “If I ask them to do something I’m showing them why we’re doing it. Basically more than anything my teams have been ones that are in good shape, stay in position and aren’t too flashy. I’m a heavyweight after all.” While the team has seven seniors, it’s sophomore Ritchie Florez that comes into 20112012 with the most impressive resume after finishing sixth at state in the 125 pound weight class as a freshman. “He’s a younger guy, but everybody in our room knows how good he is,” the coach said. “He competed at nationals over the summer and is in here working hard every day.”
theFoothillsfocus.com Of his senior class the new coach said Andrew Kassir, at 120 pounds, has stood out. “He has been a vocal leader,” he said. “He looks good.” Kassir is joined on the team by brother Jeffery Kassir, a freshman, and senior Matt Kassir, a cousin. Senior Tino Morales is another wrestler the coach has high expectations for, saying he’ll be a strong contributor no matter what weight class he ends up in. While the team doesn’t currently have a heavy weight

the coach said the upper weights are in good hands among seniors Adam Dye, Gunnar Collier and Nate Anderson. “We’ve got a lot of experience and we want to let the student body and the faculty know about what kind of team we have, and let them share in the excitement,” Swetter said. That’s also a goal for Crooks at Boulder Creek. “We’d really like the community and the students to support the program,” he said. “Once they come out and watch us I think they’ll be hooked.”

The Walmart Supercenter in Cave Creek was evacuated and closed for seven hours on Thanksgiving after an assistant manager found a suspicious device in an employee refrigerator. According to Maricopa County Sheriff Office reports an assistant manager at the store, located at 34399 N. Cave Creek Road, found a device with flashing lights and wires attached to it. MCSO personnel were contacted at 4:21 p.m. The store, with approximately 20
was evacuated while the bomb squad dealt with the device, which turned out not to be an explosive. MCSO also took bomb sniffing dogs through the rest of the building before deeming it safe. Employees returned to work at 9:30 p.m. and the store reopened for business at 11 p.m. Walmart gave its security camera footage to the Sheriff ’s Office, but MCSO personnel said at this point they have no suspects regarding the incident.

Friday night’s championship game in the Boulder Creek Thanksgiving Invitational had a chance to be a lot of things for the Jaguars girls basketball program. Under first year coach Josiah McDaniel the Jaguars were in position to post the team’s first 4-0 start since the 2006-2007 season and their first four-game winning streak since February of the 2009-2010 season in addition to winning the title in the inaugural season of their tournament. With 1:07 left in the game they also were primed to complete an impressive comeback as the Jaguars had rallied from down 14 heading into the fourth quarter and as many as 16 in the second half to claim their first lead since the first quarter at 48-47. Ther rally was necessary after the Jaguars offense went cold in the second quarter as Desert Mountain’s defense held the Jaguars scoreless for the first five minutes. During the drought a 12-12 tie turned into a 27-12 Desert Mountain advantage.

Winter sitting out with injuries, the Jaguars had an opportunity to post a win against a state playoff team from a season ago thanks to a defensive effort that limited the visiting Wolves to only one field goal in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Jaguars Desert Mountain didn’t need to make any field goals to pull out a 58-50 win. Instead the visiting Wolves scored their final 11 points at the foul line thanks in large part to a bizarre turn of events with 53 seconds remaining in the game. After the Jaguars took the lead with 1:07 remaining Desert Mountain brought the ball up the court where Jaguars sophomore Hannah Neilson was whistled for her fifth and final foul. In such circumstances coaches are allotted 30 seconds to decide on a substitution for the disqualified player. In most cases coaches milk this opportunity, whether to give final instructions to the player coming into the game or simply to let the players on the court catch their breath. The game typically resumes once the referee walks over to the bench and tells the coach his time is up and a substitute needs

movie review
Twilight provides a bloody good time SHANA SCHWARZ SPECIAL FOR THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS
If you haven’t liked the last 3 Twilight Saga movies, there is no reason to think you would enjoy this one. Twilight is one of those polarizing phenomena where people either seem to love the books/movies or hate them, without much room for middle ground. Thus, this review is geared towards fans of the series, as really, that’s who the films are made for and anyone else spending the time and energy to talk about how stupid they think it all seems is just wasting breath: fans don’t care. This review is probably unnecessary, as a huge percentage of the people who will see this movie will have done so in the first week. Thus, instead of telling fans why they should go see it, I’ll just offer my musings on why this is the best film of the series so far, but also why it is the grossest. First, the good stuff. Finally, oh finally, someone working on this film watched the first three movies in the series and looked at the makeup jobs on the vampires and said, “Um, why do they look so stupid?” The vampires of the Twilight series are described in the book
as flawlessly beautiful, if maybe a bit pale. They are supposed to stand out among mortals, but not to the point where anyone could look at them and say, “oh yeah, that’s totally a vampire.” And if I saw anyone on the street looking how any of the Cullens do in the first three movies, that’s exactly what I’d think. Plus, they are supposed to be more beautiful than they were when they were human, yet in the flashback sequences, each of the vampires clearly looks way better than they do as vampires, which is totally backwards and frustrating for fans. In Breaking Dawn: Part 1, however, the makeup team backed off on the inch-thick white powder and let the stars (most of whom are very attractive) shine through. It was so refreshing. The improvements in makeup were great and would have made me like this movie more than the others in the series even if this one had been on par in other respects, but the makers didn’t stop there. Because this book is split into two movies, they were able to give more time and attention to main plot points, and this one really captured so much from the book that I actually had a hard time remembering what they left out or screwed up
(normally, I take a tally during the movie of everything that is frustratingly absent or different). This is a mostly positive thing, until the seriously creepy stuff starts happening. When I read this book, I remember thinking, “there is no way they would ever show ____ in a movie.” Without giving away spoilers, I won’t divulge what I’m referring to, but I seriously had to look away for minutes at a time during several scenes towards the end that involved sickening use of blood. For better or worse, they went for it. I guess book fans can’t complain for years that key plot points are ignored, and then get miffed when the icky details are presented on the big screen. And icky it is. One of the most common comments I heard walking out of the screening was, “was that really just PG13?” Between intimate scenes between Edward and Bella and the overall ick factor towards the end, the MPAA had to have seriously pushed the limits of what it deems ok for our teens to watch. Parents be warned, but good luck trying to keep your kids away from such a force of nature. Young fans are eager to get swept away by the second to last Twilight film, and you’ll be hard pressed to stop them.

STAFF REPORT
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has selected Daisy Mountain Drive in Anthem as a test site for new technology aimed at making signalized intersections safer nationwide. Starting this week, MCDOT will begin testing the SMARTDrive prototype, a state-of-the-art transportation technology system for vehicleto-vehicle and vehicle-toroadway communications. Nearly 13 percent of firefighters and police officers who die in the line of duty are killed in vehicle-related incidents. The SMARTDrive technology will test the system’s
ability to communicate and give traffic signal priority to multiple emergency vehicles converging at the same time at the same intersection. This vehicle prioritization system can help prevent emergency responders from colliding with one another at strategic intersections. Additionally, as more and more automobiles are equipped with onboard devices that can communicate with traffic signals, other vehicles on the roadway, and “real-time” traffic control centers, this system will help prevent collisions between emergency vehicles and private automobiles. The MCDOT SMARTDrive field test involves six
interconnected traffic lights along the 2.3 mile stretch of Daisy Mountain Drive. The test equipment includes communication devices, closed-circuit TV cameras, and traffic detection and data collection software that communicate to MCDOT’s Traffic Management Center located in south Phoenix. Data will be collected and exchanged from the site over the next year and will be used to develop and design a plan for the futuristic Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System.

call Continued from page 6 to report, in much the same way a baseball umpire ends a meeting on the mound. Instead of handling a very common practice in typical fashion, the official called a technical foul for delay of game on the Jaguars team. Even if the officials believed McDaniel had taken too much time they have the ability to give a delay of game warning. In that scenario only a second delay results in a technical foul. Upon receiving the technical, a surprised and angered McDaniel shot off the bench for an explanation and was hit with a technical foul himself. In calling the unusual delay of game technical (something I’ve never witnessed in the last nearly 12 years as a reporter, nor in four years of playing high school basketball here in Arizona) Desert Mountain’s Carly Rose got to shoot six free throws, two for the initial foul on Nielson and then two for each of the two technical fouls. Additionally the Wolves retained possession. When Nielson made 5-of-
6 free throws to take her team from down one to up four Boulder Creek was forced to foul as Desert Mountain attempted to run out the clock. Once again Rose was fouled. This time she made both free throws as Boulder Creek watched Desert Mountain go from down one to up six before they could even get the ball back. With less than a minute to go in the game the Jaguars simply didn’t have enough time to overcome the questionable call. Following the game a still dumbfounded and disappointed McDaniel talked about his team’s effort outside the locker room. “We did a great job getting back in the game by getting stops defensively and we got big contributions from Sam (Young), Samika (Mendoza), Molly (Collins) and Darian (Slaga),” he said. “To take a one point lead and then to have the game get away from us there at the end… it was just a shame what happened.” As Desert Mountain players
and coaches filed out of their locker room, several offered McDaniel condolences for what they deemed a, “bogus call”. The Jags coach said his team has plenty of improving to do. “We’re still learning to play together,” he said. “We’ll get better as we get more experience.” He also said he’s excited at the prospect of getting Swader and Winter back in the mix, estimating they might be able to return to action within the next week or so. “They’re two very good players that will bring more speed to our team,” he said. Along with adding to the team’s full-court pressure defense, the two also figure to alleviate some of the offensive burden from Slaga. The team’s freshman point guard averaged a staggering 22.5 points per game over the first four contests, using her ball-handling skills and speed to consistently get to the basket. In getting to the championship game the Jaguars rolled over

Media scrutiny will have say in presidential race W i t h his poll numbers dropping l i k e dissidents in Syria, President O’ REILLY Barrack Obama has to be hoping the national media will continue to help him out. Last time around, the network news organizations swooned over the junior senator from Illinois and marginalized his opponent, Sen. John McCain, as much as possible. According to a new study by the conservative Media Research Center, the president has some reason to be optimistic about the media in 2012. The group examined the morning shows on ABC, CBS and NBC in order to ascertain campaign attitudes. The headlines are these: — So far in 2011, morning network correspondents have labeled Republican candidates as conservative 49 times. But only once have they referred to Obama as a liberal. — By a four-to-one margin, the morning show hosts have used adversarial questioning against Republican interview subjects as compared to Democratic guests. — The morning programs routinely run positive “human interest” stories about the president and his family. No Republican contender has
received that kind of coverage. The conclusion reached by the MRC is that the morning programs are not likely to “cheerlead” for the Obama campaign as some did in 2008. Instead, they will be more likely to scrutinize his Republican opposition. Having worked at both CBS News and ABC News, I can tell you there is a managerial culture that is decidedly liberal. Some places are worse than others. Under Dan Rather, the CBS landscape was openly left. Under the late Peter Jennings, ABC News was more politically correct than agenda-driven. Jennings did not like political advocacy on either side. Americans can expect a vicious campaign next year. The Republican candidate will have to go after Obama on his record, and that will bring hard blowback. Obama, himself, rarely uses personal attacks. But some of his supporters, especially on the Internet, certainly do. Gutter sniping will be all over the place. Last time around, McCain did not take the fight to Obama, preferring to highlight his own experience for the country. That was a mistake that the Democrats exploited. Sen. Obama’s political record was weak; he was essentially running on charisma. Instead of pinning him down on specific solutions
to targeted problems, McCain allowed his young opponent to dazzle the public with rhetoric. This time around, the Republicans have cold, hard facts to present to the American people. And the only answer to those damning statistics is diversion, pettifogging the issue with ginned up controversy and smoke. We can expect the national media to embrace the pettifog and flog it all morning (and evening). The media are loath to admit any mistakes, and their support of Obama is on the record. There is little chance the Republican challenger will receive fair and balanced coverage. Will media support for the president be enough to give him the edge in 2012? If the vote is close, the answer most likely is yes. Veteran TV news anchor Bill O’Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O’Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Pinheads and Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama.” To find out more about Bill O’Reilly, and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate web page at www.creators.com. This column originates on the website www. billoreilly.com.
Civil Traffic Tickets Someone receiving a civil traffic ticket can pay it either through mail or with a debit or credit card over the phone. If the allegation is a moving violation, then most people are eligible for Defensive Driving School (which can also be done on-line). If someone completes driving school, then that particular charge is dismissed. (If there is more than one charge on the ticket, please remember that driving school only resolves one of the charges). If someone ignores their traffic ticket, and/or does not appear for their arraignment date (or for a requested civil traffic hearing), then the ticket will go into default, a fine will be imposed and a series of additional fees will be assessed. For example, something as relatively minor as a car pool lane violation, will trigger a fine of $401. When the required additional fees are added, the amount due becomes close to $578. Perhaps more significant than the fine, is that someone in default on a civil traffic fine will have both their driver license suspended and their ability to renew their license plate blocked. Driving on a suspend license is a class one misdemeanor (the most serious type) in Arizona and is a common way that otherwise good people end up with a criminal record. Criminal Charges If someone fails to appear for a court date while facing a
criminal charge, then a warrant will be issued for their arrest. This is true whether the court date is an arraignment, a pretrial conference or a trial. In addition to making omeone’s life instantly more complicated, an arrest warrant will also suspend the defendant’s driver license. Lawsuits If someone ignores a regular civil lawsuit by not responding to it, then a default judgment will most likely be entered. If someone ignores and/ or fails to appear for an eviction action, then they could be removed from their residence five days later. Due to the state of the economy, justice courts are currently literally buried in collection cases. My court alone receives between 350 and 425 new debt collection lawsuits each month. The vast majority of these cases result in default judgments. Nearly every week, someone comes to a garnishment hearing complaining that they “never got their day in court.” I look at the case file and see that they were served, that they did not file an answer responding to the lawsuit and that they did nothing after receiving the entry of default. Next, I try to explain to them that since they chose not to exercise their rights, they lost them and that the only thing the garnishment hearing is going to decide is how much of their paycheck is going to go to the plaintiff each month. The bottom line is that bad news usually does not improve with the passage of time. Ignoring any type of court date will only make things worse. Judge Gerald Williams is the presiding justice of the peace for the Northwest Regional Court Center. His column appears monthly in The Foothills Focus.
