Scottsdale nurse practitioner goes from writing prescriptions to writing 1st novel Since her days in nursing school, Emily Brett has dealt with her feelings through writing.

“It’s my catharsis,” says Brett, a Scottsdale resident and nurse practitioner.

“When you are in the nursing profession, you see a lot of death and pain, and so I would write pieces to deal with my pain and get it out.”

After Brett’s son was born prematurely and spent two weeks in the NICU, writing was her way of coping with her worry, as well as her joy when he was able to come home.

Her love of writing coupled with her experiences both as a nurse and watching other nurses tend to her newborn son inspired Brett to write her first novel, “Found.”

Recently, Brett released the story about a 27-year-old ICU nurse named Natalie Ulster, who has a strong case of wanderlust.

Seeing her first novel in print caused Brett to feel a range of emotions, from excited to scared.

“I worked so hard to get it published and didn’t think of anything else, so now that I have it in print, it’s kind of scary,” she says.

In “Found,” to get away from a deranged nurse, whose husband passed away suspiciously, Brett writes that Ulster accepts nursing assignments in Belize, Australia and Arizona.

Nearby News • For News Around Our Neighborhood

Along the way, Brett says, the heroine narrowly misses death several times, including a severe food allergy, a poisoned drink and being thrown overboard in the Great Barrier Reef.

Brett says that her health-care experiences were helpful as she wrote a story that combines mystery and romance with adventure and selfdiscovery.

Brett says she wanted to give readers an exciting plotline that would keep them turning the pages.

“Reading about a nurse, people might think, ‘OK, fine,’ so I wanted to add in that human element,” she says.

“Natalie’s passion is taking care of people and wanting to use her profession to really help them and ease their pain and care for them,” Brett adds.

Brett says that she and Ulster also share a love of traveling.

“I used to travel all over the place and I kept a documentation of all of my journeys,” Brett says. “So every place Natalie went in the book is a place that I have been.”

Brett already is planning her next novel. The heroine will be an emergency-room nurse who is a single mom.

For more information about Brett, visit www.emilybrettbooks.com. “Found” is currently available at retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound.org.

Scottsdale boy, 11, raises nearly $7K for Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children Zachary Prutting is a kid with a big heart.

Having a father with the entrepreneurial spirit, the apple hasn’t fallen far for the 11-year-old.

Zach likes music, so much that he got his own DJ equipment. Both he and his dad saw possibilities, and Zach formed his own DJ business.

“He kind of picked up the entrepreneurial spirit at an early age,” said Tony Prutting, 47, Zach’s father.

“His love of music, his passion for it, it was fun as well as a way for him to make some money as a DJ.” Then, Zach saw quickly that he also could use his DJ business philanthropically, again mirroring his dad, who has organized many charitable events. The boy created Zach’s Zebra Family Fun Run, which recently attracted 68 runners and walkers to an easy one-mile event in Scottsdale and padded the total that Zach had been raising for Arizona Cancer Foundation

Foundation For Children, a 501(c) (3) non-profit foundation, whose mission is to provide social, emotional and financial support to families managing the health and well being of a loved one with pediatric cancer.

With an initial goal of volunteers at Funari’s foundation, and $2,500, the Zebra Run – so named he’d done a DJ gig at Gainey Ranch on because Zach’s favorite animal is the the foundation’s behalf the week before zebra -- put Zach near the $7,000 mark. his Zebra Run. His fundraising efforts have inspired “He came in one day and said, ‘I want to raise money for kids with cancer,’ ” many local businesses and the community to get involved. Each child Prutting said.

They walked a red carpet and had pictures taken.

And, of course, they were entertained

by Zach, the DJ. “Zach’s desire and passion to want to help kids going through cancer treatments pulled a community together like I’ve never seen,” said Joyce Laszloff y, owner of The Stylish Table, which donated decorations and helped Zach coordinate the Zebra Run. Tony Prutting took it all in as a proud dad.

“It is very cool, very rewarding,” Prutting said. “He’s very excited about it. It makes him feel really good.”

In all, 134 students from 17 schools participated in Arizona.

By Nancy Norman Priority open enrollment is under way for parents and guardians residing within Scottsdale Unified School District boundaries who wish to send their students to a district school other than their neighborhood school for 2017-18.

Open enrollment also is under way for those residing outside district boundaries who wish to enroll in a SUSD school for next school year.

SUSD interim superintendent Dr. A. Denise Birdwell says that SUSD schools “are truly second-to-none in their challenging and engaging academics, arts, STEM and athletics programs.

Enrollment in a Scottsdale public school sets your student on a path to lifetime success.”

Open-enrollment applications are being taken online at openenrollment.

susd.org until Dec. 15. By Feb. 1, 2017, parents may go online to see if their student’s application has been approved, placed on a waiting list, or rejected.

If a student’s op en-enrollment application is approved, certain documentation must then be submitted to complete the process.

Applications received after Dec. 15 will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, but only after students whose applications were submitted by the deadline have had an opportunity to enroll.

If a student is currently open-enrolled in a SUSD school, it is not necessary to apply again for next school year unless the student wishes to change schools.

neighborhood hearsay

By Ken LaFave For as long as humanity exists, the events of November will be recalled as a tragedy, an outrage, an insult.

I am referring, of course, to the endless repairs on Indian School Road between 60th Street and Scottsdale Road. I say “endless” even while reading a notice at the Scottsdale city website that claims the street will return to normal as of Nov. 30. Yeah, right. And someone with no previous experience in politics has a shot at the presidency!

Seriously, I’ve learned to occupy myself with diversions while taking 20 minutes to drive three-quarters of a mile. Things like finally reading War and Peace, and learning how to shout in Mandarin to the driver in front of me, “Hey Bozo, what part of ‘left-turn green arrow’ do you not understand?” “Bozo’ is especially hard to render in Mandarin.

The city promises us a pristine Indian School Road just in time for the Christmas season. I predict that drivers, astonished and confused, will still drive at a maximum speed of 15 mph.

residents, donated one dollar at a time. Scottsdale Cares is an easy way to help neighbors in need by adding $1 to your monthly water bill. Simply pay the grand total and $1 will be automatically donated to the program. Your donation goes to assist disabled adults, to suicide hotlines, and to home-delivered meals for the elderly.

And while we’re in a mood to be grateful, let’s not forget “Alli Ortega Empty Bowls.” Named after a longtime “Empty Bowls” volunteer who died in 2014, the event takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Scottsdale Community College Cafeteria and Student Center, 9000 E. Chaparral Rd. The idea is simple: Buy a bowl of pasta or soup and keep the bowl, with proceeds going to the Vista del Camino Food Bank.

Matt Carter is not busy enough.

The Scottsdale culinary whiz has served up French-accented cuisine at the Zinc Bistro and Latin variations at The Mission, but this month Chef Carter added a third restaurant to his list: He is now consulting chef at the Bonfire Grill and Bar in Old Town. The Bonfire emphasizes wood-fired specialties.

Appetizers at the Bonfire include cheddar biscuits brushed with smoked seasalt butter and beer-battered house pickle fries. Among the entrees are Scottish salmon served on alderwood skewers and rosemary-smoked pork loin. Even the desserts are smoky. Try the castiron toasted marshmallow s’mores. Call 480-9456600 for more information. scottsdaleperformingarts.org.

We first-world folks have it pretty easy, but sometimes we forget that some of our neighbors cold use our help.

Many of Ingleside’s well-heeled guests stayed for extended time during the winter months and relied on the resort for meals.

In this 1915 photo, a guest of Ingleside enjoys a game of golf with Camelback Mountain in the distance. Ingleside’s 9-hole course began south of the canal and then crossed over to the north. In the early years of the resort, the greens were composed of oiled sand instead of grass.

From Canal to Resort: The Ingleside Inn

By Scott Shumaker The Ingleside Club House, completed in 1910, was Scottsdale’s first luxury resort and helped establish the city as a vacation destination.

The resort grounds straddled both sides of the Arizona Canal near 60th Street, and the waters from the canal nourished a thick canopy of citrus, olive, and palm trees on the property.

The resort catered to vacationers from the midwest and east coast, and boasted many lavish amenities, including an asphalt tennis court and the area’s first golf course.

The proprietors of Ingleside, William J. Murphy, and his son, Ralph, knew the canal and the surrounding area well: William was the contractor who completed the 35-mile canal in 1885. With the Arizona canal opening investment in the Valley, Murphy became a major buyer and seller of land in area.

The luxurious Ingleside resort was partly intended to showcase the glories of the Salt River Valley to potential investors.

The resort thrived for decades before closing in the 1940s.

Volunteers build the display components starting in the summer. If you want a free Christmas outing, some holiday cheer or a fabulous photo op, this is a great bet.

The visitors’ center will also be open, and the Mesa Temple Christmas Concert Series will accompany the lights. The display is open 5-10 p.m. nightly.

Free.

How to make a Memory Clock It has become a family tradition the past few years for my kids and me to hand-make Christmas gifts for all of the grandparents.

This year’s gift was inspired by a product I saw in a catalog: a clock with binder clips in place of the numbers.

What a cool idea, but I bet I could make one better than what I saw-- and I did! law talk

Step 2 Find the center of your clock face and drill a hole in the center for the clock motor.

Place the number template in the center of the clock face and mark all twelve spots where the numbers would go. Drill a small tap hole in each of the twelve spots with the smaller drill bit.

expensive homes

You will need Clock motor with hands, scrap wood (no thicker than ¾ inch to accommodate the clock), compass and pencil, 12 binder clips (Dollar Tree is a great place for these), 12 short wood screws, 12 washers, cordless drill with drill bit slightly wider than the clock shaft, 1-1.5mm drill bit.

Step 1 Cut the wood to desired size and glue the pieces together. While the glue is drying, use a compass to create a template for the clock face. Reaching all the way back to high school geometry, if you leave the compass at the same width as you used to draw the initial circle,

place the anchor end on the circle, and make a tick where the pencil end falls. Continue this process, placing the anchor on each of the ticks you’ve created. This will measure the circle into six equal parts. To find the other six spaces, fold the template so two adjoining ticks meet each other, and repeat to find the halfway point between each mark.

Step 3 Follow the instructions that come with the clock motor to secure to the clock face.

Step 4 Cut 12 pieces of colorful paper in approximately 2” squares. Match each of these with a corresponding photo and secure with a binder clip.

Make sure they don’t interfere with the hands of the clock. NOTE: Nail polish is a great way to add some color to the washers, screw heads and clock hands if desired.

Insert a wood screw through a washer. Place one side of the handle of a binder clip around one of the tap holes, then tighten the screw and washer over the handle, and repeat for all 12 spots.

slices of life

By Jill Pertler

Mad as a cat She was mad – one might even describe it as cataclysmically livid.

She focused her ire at the entire family and made us aware of her displeasure with a decidedly cold shoulder and stiff whiskers.

We all knew the cause of her chagrin and weren’t about to give in to her demands. She gave us a silent, loathing stare with piercing green eyes while standing expectantly by the back door.

Her intense gaze was unrelenting. As were we.

None of us was about to back down, despite the death wishes she was throwing our way via her highlyevolved extrasensory perceptive skills.

The reason for her fury was no mystery: Her backyard privileges had been nixed due to a persistent and unwavering habitual pattern of

Page 16

behavior we found unacceptable and downright murderous. Simply put, we refused to let her chase birds in hopes of killing them via a game she calls “play.”

That got her goat. Boy, did it ever.

She loves chasing birds – is practically passionate about it.

That’s only the start.

She displays the same morbid behavior with mice, snakes and even the occasional common housefly. She acts like it’s in her DNA or something.

I suppose it’s to be expected. She is a cat. Birds and cats are mortal enemies, with cats typically being at the higher end of the food chain, giving her the definite upper hand – or outstretched claw, as the case may be.

Still, when not hunting, she’s so refined. So postured and polished. So

proper in the way she holds her tail. So dainty in the manner she nibbles her cat treats. So sophisticated in the way she jumps up on the TV table to block our view. Even when sleeping, she exhibits a certain amount of elegance.

Like that of royalty.

When her fixed gaze failed to bore a hole through any of our skulls, she relented to naughtiness, clawing at the wooden door, the carpet, couch and anything else she could reach. She can be a sassy-frass that way.

We told her she was being naughty.

She disagreed, telepathically, of course.

Then, still furious and fuming, she picked herself up on her delicate cat paws and sashayed out of the room. I figured she had in mind to go upstairs and poop on our bed. It’s what I would have done, had I been an angry cat. But cats are too neat for public pooping. She had something much more powerful in mind.

She was going to ignore us. Oh, the pain.

Cats are so smart.

I noticed her unpresence with the familial group the rest of the evening.

She came down for her nightly treat but

Nearby News • For News Around Our Neighborhood

otherwise remained in an undeterred reject-human mode. Then the sun set and it was time for bed and she was still AWOL. We aren’t sure where she spent the night, but it wasn’t with us.

Maybe she was hunting inside – for spider webs and dust bunnies.

We’ll never know. The next morning she was back to her loving and royal self. Rubbing up against our legs, flipping her tail in a cat dance and standing by the back door, expectantly.

We pretended not to notice her lust for the hunt.

She’s full of surprises, this tiny, sometimes angry, cat of ours. It seems like she’d be more comfortable wearing a tiara, not using a pair of razor-sharp claws. Then again, I suppose princesses have been known to hunt. And get mad – mad as a cat.

And now I know what that looks like. Categorically.

Philharmonic brings free classical music to Scottsdale

By Carson Mlnarik There seemingly is art around every corner in Scottsdale, but for exposure to classical music, there is one place to go: the Scottsdale Philharmonic.

Its next free concert is Sunday, Nov. 20, at Scottsdale Bible Church, 7601 E. Shea Blvd. at 4 p.m.

What exactly is the difference between a philharmonic and a symphony?

The terms are essentially synonymous.

A symphony orchestra is a generic term referring to a large orchestra, typically featuring 18 to 25 instruments.

A philharmonic orchestra is part of a proper name and used to distinguish one group from others.

The Scottsdale Philharmonic has been

performing free shows for the community since its inception in 2012.

The nonprofit symphony is funded by contributions from the public and the business community. Its goal is to make classical music accessible to all parts of the population.

“We want to bring beautiful classical music to people of all ages as well as children and enhance the cultural environment of Scottsdale,” says Joy Partridge, president and co-founder.

The Scottsdale Philharmonic consists of 85 professionally trained musicians,

Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach

What’s Cooking?

For the dough: 1 cup butter, softened 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt

By Jan D’Atri

Try Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach for the holidays Happy Holidays Everyone!

If you’re looking for something wonderful to gift someone or serve at your holiday get-togethers, try one of my very favorite treats, Rugelach!

It’s said to have come from the Yiddish word “rugel,” meaning royal.

Rolled out delicate dough filled with a variety of ingredients, Rugelach (pronounced Rug-a-Lach) has grown in popularity from a Jewish specialty that was baked during the holidays to an American favorite enjoyed all year long.

It seems as though every country has its own version and name for Rugelach and there are hundreds of recipe

Page 28

variations for this bite-size goody.

For the dough, sour cream or cream cheese is added to the flour, which makes for flavorful dough that’s extremely easy to work with. These oneor two-bite morsels generally are filled with ingredients like sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, raisins, chocolate, or preserves with a little cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.

Again, there are many ways to roll and cut Rugelach, but the classic shapes are crescents or slightly flattened squares.

I know that Rugelach is baked en masse for the Hanukkah celebration, but there are plenty of chances in the days ahead to make, bake and deliver these delicious and delicate gifts from the kitchen for the holidays ahead!

For the filling 1 ½ cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups walnuts, finely chopped Directions: In a mixing bowl, blend butter and cream cheese until well incorporated.

Add flour, sugar and salt, blending well. Gather dough and divide into two balls. Refrigerate in plastic wrap for at least 1 to 2 hours. Meanwhile, make filling. In a bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts. When dough is chilled, cut each ball into two pieces. You will have 4 dough balls to work with.

Nearby News • For News Around Our Neighborhood

For the crescent shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough ball into an approximate 9-inch circle 1/16 of an inch thick. Sprinkle ¼ of filling mixture over circle, leaving a ¼ inch border. Gently pat filling into dough.

Cut circle into 12 wedges. Roll each wedge up starting at the wide end to form a crescent. Sprinkle top with filling mixture.

For the square shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 9-inch long rectangle. Sprinkle ¼ of filling mixture over dough, leaving a ¼ inch border. Gently pat filling into dough.

Starting at the bottom, roll dough up tightly into tube shape. Gently flatten tube with your hands. Cut into 1-inch squares. Sprinkle tops with filling mixture.

Place pieces onto parchment lined (or lightly greased) baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Makes about 36 pieces. Dough can be made ahead and stored in plastic wrap for up to one week. Baked Rugelach can be frozen.

“I’m not a French toast fan at all, but the coconut French toast, when I tried it, I said, ‘Wait, I really like this.’ It was one of the dishes that really stuck with me when we were creating the menu.

The carnitas hash was another one. It’s a fun play on hash. But our lemon and ricotta pancakes, that’s our signature.”

GRAND OPENING DEC. 1ST

OPEN HOUSE DEC. 10TH 10AM _2PM

Unique menu, healthy dose of fun define Hash Kitchen Since Joey Maggiore was 11, his father stressed that fantastic service and good food are the cornerstones of successful restaurants.

Maggiore and his wife, Cristina, have taken that to heart with The Hash Kitchen, Creative Breakfast and Bar in The Shops at Gainey Village. An new location recently opened at 14832 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., as part of the year-old Maggiore Culinary Concepts, and yet another is in the works in the Arcadia area.

“I live at Shea and 120th,” Maggiore says. “That area reminds me of families.

There is a lot of action, but not a lot of restaurants. There are so many people there.”

The 4,800-square-foot space at the newest restaurant includes a lounge, an

indoor-outdoor bar area with open-air dining option and the trademark BuildYour-Own Bloody Mary bar.

“That’s one of our signatures right there,” he says. “We have 50 toppings.

On the weekend, we have meatballs, fried mozzarella, fried raviolis and mini corn dogs. People get crazy with Bloody Marys. We have a DJ, who is fun but he’s not overwhelmingly loud. It’s a fun, upbeat vibe.”

Maggiore says that he trains his staff to treat this like a house party.

The family’s restaurant lineup also boasts award-winning dining destinations in Scottsdale and San Diego, including Tommy V’s Urban Kitchen and Bar, Vivo! Ristorante, Hogs N’ Hops BBQ. The Hash Kitchen’s original location

at Gainey Ranch, which took over the space from the family’s Cuttlefish Ocean Kitchen, has proven to be successful, thanks to the couple and Tomaso Maggiore.

As executive chef, Maggiore created the menu at The Hash Kitchen, which offers nontraditional hashes, eggs benedict, frittatas, scramblers, pancakes and waffles. For lunch, The Hash Kitchen serves the likes of crab rolls ($16), Cubano sandwiches ($14) and blackened salmon salads ($15).

Maggiore has a favorite dish, but was apprehensive about another.

“Cristina’s tamale cakes,” he says without hesitation about the dish that comes with a poached egg. “I love the sweet corn cakes. I used to go to
