The Anthem Art Gallery at the Caepe School will celebrate their latest display with a 7 p.m. opening reception on Saturday.

The current display features a pair of area painters in Judy Hendricks from Anthem and Cathy Shyers from New River.

The two have been taking lessons from gallery curator Dawn Kirchner, but each woman has a style all her own.

Hendricks, who is a realist painter, began painting back during her time living in the

Midwest, both in Wisconsin and then Illinois. Since moving to Anthem she has continued with her art.

In addition to painting with acrylics, Hendricks also incorporates a new technique, one she calls fine-line burning. After using wood as a canvas for a time she has and turned to water color paper.

“You have to have a lot of patience to do it well,” she said. “You have to go very slow and be very precise to avoid burn

The Carefree Town Council will look to adopt the 2012 – 2013 fiscal budget at their July 10 meeting.

At the June 5 council meeting the council voted unanimously to set $6.450,871 million as the maximum amount they can spend during the upcoming year.

Highlighting the budget is $1.4 million for a street improvement project, just under $300,000 for a new street sweeper and $80,000 for town marketing as well as an additional $40,000 for town employee raises.

After seeing sales tax revenue increase by 10 percent from 2011-2012 the town is

projecting growth of 3 percent for 2012-2013.

The town also announced that it will head into the new fiscal year with a new marketing approach.

After having the Carefree Business Association, led by the trio of Holly Bergman, Jo Gemmil and Kim Prince lead the marketing efforts for the last two years, Carefree has turned those responsibilities over to Owens Harkey and Associates.

Bergman announced that she is looking to spend more of her time with the Foothills Animal Rescue, but offered encouragement to the effort going forward.

“I think the Carefree Business Association got the puck to

the blue line and that the town followed by taking a slap shot. I hope the next group gets a hat trick,” Bergman said.

Matt Owens tipped his cap, offering a game plan for how Owens Harkey and Associates plan to help bring more people to visit Carefree.

“We want to build our campaign focusing on two groups, both of which are female centered as 85 percent of purchase decisions are made by females,” he said. “The first group is the 30s and 40s aged woman from the North Valley, a socialite with free time and money to spend. The second,

marks. As time consuming as it is I like the results.”

For a time Hendricks said she focused mostly on painting wildlife, but said she has recently branched out, trying a variety of subjects.

“Back in Wisconsin I really did well selling animals so that’s what I stuck with, but right now I’m working on doing a series of six different old historic buildings,” she said.

One subject matter that both Hendricks and Shyers painted was the fire fighting equipment used by Dawn’s husband Ronald, a former New York City fire fighter.

“It has been interesting,” said Shyers, who came back to painting recently after she was given lessons to work with Kirchner as a Christmas present in 2010. “I’ve been into art probably since I was 13 years old, but I was always a realistic painter.”

Shyers, who moved from New Jersey to New River to take care of her ailing parents, said the culture shock perhaps caused her to change her painting style.

“It’s been nothing but hell,” she said. “I’m trying to find the beauty in this wasteland, but I’ve had Valley fever, and pneumonia twice. It’s not been easy. Dawn has such a great love of this land and she’s really trying to get me to see it. Your environment definitely impacts the art you create. I think painting has been therapeutic. I may even venture outside more to find inspiration, well,

not now, but maybe when it cools off.”

In the time she has worked with Kirchner Shyers said she has focused on abstract southwest themes.

“I think it has helped in my acceptance of being out here,” she said. “Dawn has encouraged me to push the envelope and really helped me to just go crazy with my work.”

In one of her pieces on display for the show Shyers used a statue of a horse as a model, then took different pieces of the horse and put them in various spots across the canvas.

While the horse is no longer immediately obvious the sense of movement remains.

“She really can paint whatever you put in front of her and she does it well,” Kirchner said.

Along with getting a chance to meet the artists at the opening reception, wine and hors d’ oeuvres will be served. A portion of the proceeds from sales will go to support the Caepe School. The school is located at 39905 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway in Anthem. Those unable to attend the reception, but still interested in viewing the art, can stop by the school from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday – Friday or from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Approximately 800 people turned out at Black Mountain Campus in Scottsdale on June 5 to catch a glimpse of an event that won’t take place again until 2117.

From 3 - 7 p.m. those in attendance had the opportunity to view Venus in its orbit pass across the face of the sun.

“We have people here today from back east and from Canada as well,” Terri Finch of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. “It happened eight years ago too, but it wasn’t visible because of the weather conditions.”

On June 5 Venus appeared as a small black circle in front of the bright red sun, visible through any of the 12 high-powered telescopes on display.

“It has been a good steady crowd of people ever since we set up at 3 p.m.,” said Robert Ewing, a professor who teaches astronomy at Scottsdale Community College. “Venus usually goes below or behind the sun. The conditions we have right now are similar to an eclipse. It’s pretty exciting.”

While the sun set before 8 p.m. the event turned into a star party, going on until 10 p.m.

Paradise Valley Community College at Black Mountain is located at 34250 N. 60th St.

The Transit of Venus website (transitofvenus.org) has a countdown until the next Transit of Venus that sat at 38,530 days as of press time Tuesday.

Finch said the Phoenix Astronomical Society will be back at Black Mountain for another free star gazing event on Nov. 15. For information on the Phoenix Astronomical Society go to pasaz.org.

STAFF REPORT

The Cave Creek Unified School District was set to vote on switching four of its five elementary schools to district-run charters at their June 12 meeting.

Results of the vote, being considered in part to take advantage of a more-flexible funding formula, were unavailable at press time.

Only a handful of districts in Arizona operate charter schools, including Benson, Casa Grande Union, Fort Thomas, and Payson, each of which have one charter school. Vail School District, located in Tucson, has four. Most charters in the state are operated independently under the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools.

Charter schools receive $1,500 more per student from the state than the current per-pupil funding of about $5,000 for district schools. That could mean an additional $3 million per year for Cave Creek.

But Cave Creek administrators are weighing whether that extra money would offset the loss of other revenue district schools receive, such as capital funding. In addition, the extra funding would not kick in until the second year of operation.

In Cave Creek, Desert Sun Academy, Desert Willow, Lone Mountain and Horseshoe Trails would be considered for chartering, while Black Mountain would remain a non-charter school.

Cave Creek Unified considers move to charter schools

MONTE YAZZIESPECIAL FOR THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS

We all know the tale, it begins with the usual “Once Upon A Time” and whisks the audience away to a world of enchantment where good and evil endure in their purest forms. However, there is something to be said for a familiar story being told in an unfamiliar way. That’s where Snow White and the Huntsman exists in regard to the incredible style infused in the reimaging of the classic tale; the storytelling on the other hand is the proverbial poison apple for this film.

The film begins as most well told fairy tales do…with tragedy. The young Snow White loses her mother, who is promptly replaced by the beautiful Ravenna (Charlize Theron). Ravenna is initially seemingly maternal towards Snow White, however after becoming the new Queen she murders the King and takes the thrown for herself, enslaving Snow White in the process. Fast forward a few years and Snow White (Kristen Stewart) is a young woman and Queen Ravenna, who possesses supernatural powers, is no longer “the fairest of them all”. Snow White escapes the grasp of the Queen and ventures into the dark forest, to which the Queen enlists the talents of The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to venture after Snow White.

The cast of the film is fairly recognizable and talented. Charlize Theron anchors the film with her menacing embodiment of Queen Ravenna while Chris Hemsworth does a reasonable job of portraying the emotionally wounded Huntsman. Kristen Stewart might not have been the best

choice for the lead Snow White, her one-note emotions do nothing more to separate Stewart’s Snow White from her Twilight character Bella Swan. However, Stewart’s performance is offered assistance by the other strong actors in the film, which helps the overall effect of her character. The film also offers a wonderful portrayal of the dwarves familiar to the story. A who’s who of British actors, Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, and Nick Frost to name a few, are digitally dwarfed and offer a welcome hint of humor to the otherwise dramatic performances from the rest of the cast.

The art design for the dark

forest and enchanted land are impressive, as is the set and costume design. The CGI is used to enhance the environments with spectacular flare, and in particular the incarnation of the liquefied mirror who resembles a silhouette of the Grim Reaper. The makeup design should also be credited for making Charlize Theron slightly less beautiful than usual; there are some nice applications for the aging of Ravenna and the individualized form of the dwarves. And, although the battle sequences are ambitious they rank average when compared to the usual medieval battle scenes.

The largest flaw in the film is the storytelling, not because it’s familiar but because it’s lacking any sort of depth; good is good and bad is bad. There are hints into exploring the characters, like some nice flashbacks that give insight into Ravenna’s plight. It doesn’t need to be extensive exploration either, just something more to assist character development.

Overall, Snow White and the Huntsman is entertaining, but I can’t help but think that somewhere lost in the mix of all the fantastic assisting elements is an even better film. Still the art design and a few strong performances are enough to hide the missteps during the process, however it doesn’t last long enough after it’s over to truly leave you happily ever after.

with broader reach is focusing on tourists. We want to sell the area as offering a view of authentic Arizona.”

Owens said his group plans to work on a new brochure for the community.

“It has to be true. It has to be meaningful. And it has to be different,” he said. “The one that is currently out is the first two, but I think we can do more to distinguish Carefree as different.”

Owens said that his organization will leverage relationship they’ve already established during their long tenure in the Valley and target events that will draw large numbers to the Valley such as the Arabian Horse Show where they can direct people to Carefree.

Council member Jim Van Allen asked whether Owens Harkey and Associates planned to continue to use the brand, “Carefree, Experience the Difference.”

“We’re certainly of the belief that we’re interested in creating an evolution, not a revolution,” he said. “We’ll certainly get

whatever mileage out of it we can, but we aren’t going to limit ourselves to that. In marketing you have to be flexible. If something doesn’t work we want to stop it immediately and switch direction. The nimble win in the end.”

Mayor David Schwann, who gave plaques to Bergman, Gemmil and Prince earlier in the meeting, said he’s anxious to see what can be done moving forward.

“Thanks in large part to these women we’ve got something started and sometimes that’s the hardest part,” Schwann said.

While Carefree Town Council meetings are typically the first Tuesday of the month, due to the 4th of July holiday the meeting will be scheduled for July 10.

There will be a public hearing about the proposed town budget beginning at 5 p.m. with the regular council meeting and possible adoption of the budget to follow.

Carefree Town Council meetings take place in the council chambers, located at 100 Easy Street in Carefree.

If you know

John G. Stewart, a philosopher friend of mine, is uncharacteristically agitated. What provokes John Stewart is the Republican argument that the cure for what ails this nation’s struggling economy is electing “a president who has made it big time in business, one who can create jobs and get American moving again.”

As Stewart, who in an earlier life was an enormously respected legislative aide to one of the 20th century’s premier legislators, Hubert Humphrey, asks: “What on earth is the basis for this repeated claim? There certainly is no historical record to fall back on.”

OK. Let’s look at the professional backgrounds of the presidents Americans, according to surveys, most generally admire. George Washington was a general. Abraham Lincoln was a small-town lawyer. Franklin Roosevelt was a lawyer. Teddy Roosevelt was a public servant. Dwight Eisenhower was a

g e n e r a l . W o o d r o w Wilson was a college president. John Kennedy was a journalist and elected official. R o n a l d

Reagan was an actor and a union president. Bill Clinton was a lawyer.

The only “businessman” U.S. commander in chief to secure high marks from both ordinary citizens and professional historians is Harry Truman, whose haberdashery business ingloriously failed.

But Mitt Romney is far from the first Republican presidential standard-bearer to sound the virtues/values of the businessman in the Oval Office theme. The 1920 GOP nominee’s campaign published a booklet with the arresting title: “Less Government in Business; More Business in Government.” After he was

elected, the Republican, an Ohio newspaper publisher-businessman kept his promise by presiding over one of the two most corrupt administrations in U.S. history. Thank you, Warren G. Harding.

In the last 24 presidential elections, only two elected presidents were denied a second White House turn by the voters. Democrat Jimmy Carter ran a successful peanut business in his native Georgia and Republican George H.W. Bush moved from Connecticut to Texas, where he founded the prospering Zapata oil company.

The most successful businessman ever elected president had to be the world-renowned engineer and investment banker Herbert Hoover, whose exceptional humanitarian efforts after World War I almost certainly saved Belgium from widespread starvation. President Hoover left office with 25 percent of his nation unemployed.

George W. Bush bounced around the Texas oil business until he struck gold as the businessman-owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team. When the nation elected his successor in 2008, the younger President Bush’s job approval rating was just 25 percent positive and 70 percent negative.

John Stewart puts it bluntly: “The truth is that you search in vain for a single example — just one — of a successful businessman who then took his business experience and used it to become a successful president of the United States.”

Why is this the case? Because, according to Stewart, “running a successful business venture — like Bain Capital, to pick one at random — has almost nothing in common with leading the United States as her president.”

Unlike the businessman who is praised for his forceful decision-making, the successful president must not just make wise decisions, he must also be

able to persuade the country, the Congress and powerful interest groups to accept his decision. The president — unlike the CEO who mostly has to answer only to a like-minded board of directors and his company’s bottom-line — has to be able to inspire, to court, to intimidate, to negotiate and, yes, to yield.

John Stewart is right. The presidency is a far more complicated, demanding and multifaceted job than that faced by any corporate chairman or CEO, where to quote Will Rogers, who died in 1935, “the business of government is to keep the government out of business, unless business needs government aid.”

It turns out that being a successful businessman may well preclude you from becoming a successful U.S. president.

SHIELDS

O’REILLY

Business acumen doesn’t translate to success in White House

If the e l e c t i o n were held t o m o r r o w , Mitt Romney would be the next president of the United States. Why?

Because many voters are afraid, that’s why. And fearful people usually try to change their circumstances.

If you listen to talk radio or watch cable news, you’d think everyone was an ideologue, obsessed with party politics. But many, perhaps most, American voters are not wedged into a voting pattern. The same country that elected the conservative George W. Bush voted for the very liberal Barack Obama the next time around. It is perception that wins national elections.

Bush was perceived to be a terror warrior, and that’s why

he won a second term. Voters wanted payback for 9/11, and Bush, along with the fierce Dick Cheney, simply had more tough guy cred than Al Gore or John Kerry. At least that was the perception.

Obama isn’t nearly as tough as Sen. John McCain, but by 2008, the faltering economy had overridden the terror threat, and the slick senator from Illinois promised hope and change, a return to prosperity and fairness. McCain promised “Country First.” Nobody quite knew what that meant, and voters did want a change from the vicious recessionary economy, so Obama won.

Now, voters are scared that their jobs may disappear. They already see their retirement and educational funds evaporating, and most of us know folks who are desperate for money. So the economic fear is real, not perceived, and

President Obama has done little to soothe the angst.

He’s still hoping his Big Government policies will stimulate the economy even as the TV flashes pictures of Greeks rioting in the streets.

Romney is not exactly John Kennedy, so Obama still has a chance to squeak out a victory in November. Romney must perform well in the debates and convince Americans that the president simply does not understand economics — and that he has the magic capitalistic touch that will rebuild the empire. If the governor can stay out of foolish controversies and dodge the landmines the pro-Obama media will lay for him, he will be living larger than he lives now. The White House dwarfs even Romney’s lavish beachside shack in La Jolla, Calif.

I believe Obama knows he’s in trouble, and that’s why he is

courting his leftwing base so hard. He has to get all of them out on Election Day, and if that means “evolving” on gay marriage, so be it. Obama is a hardball player who will do everything he can to keep his job. There are not that many openings for messiahs these days in the private sector.

The election is about five months from now, and many things can happen in that time. But fear is a powerful emotion and not easily diminished. So

the president should be afraid. Very afraid.

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.
