Submitted photoThe 12th annual Foothills Empty Bowl Event is set for 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Oct. 19 at the Carefree Town Center. The event includes lunch and a silent auction for a variety of art items. Proceeds from the event aid the Foothills Food Bank, located in Cave Creek.

MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

The bowls will be pretty, but the growing issue that the Foothills Empty Bowl event supports isn’t.

The 12th annual luncheon, supporting the Foothills Food Bank, is held in conjunction with World Hunger Day from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Oct. 19 at the Carefree Town Center.

Bowls donated by a variety of groups, including students of Saguaro and Cactus Shadows High School, Sonoran Trails Middle School, Arizona Clay, Paradise Valley Community College ceramic students, along with many local potters

including members of the Sonoran Arts League will be available for a suggested minimum donation of $15. In past years some attendees will donate upwards of $500 for their bowl. After selecting a glass or ceramic bowl volunteers will clean the bowls and then serve attendees a pasta lunch along with garlic bread prepared by Carefree Resort and Villas.

Along with being an enjoyable event, it also aims to be an educational one, as the portions distributed will be equal to what a person going to a shelter would receive.

Beyond lunch another fund raising effort will be a silent

auction for a wide variety of art including paintings, jewelry and a variety of other items donated by members of the Sonoran Arts League.

Last year’s event raised nearly $19,000, but Pam DiPietro, the executive director of the Foothills Food Bank, said the need for assistance is at an all-time high. She is hopeful that this year’s event will top the 2010 event, which brought in a record of $21,000. In the event’s 11 year history the event has raised $180,000, with all the proceeds going to Foothills Food Bank.

STAFF REPORT

After lack of financial backing threatened to cause the cancellation of the Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade recent contributions have led event organizers to announce the 8th annual parade and family picnic will go on as planned.

The parade begins at 10 a.m., Nov. 10. Family activities including games and entertainment will follow between 12:30 and 3 p.m. in Anthem Community Park, with vendors in a food court providing a wide variety of refreshments.

Among the Grand Marshalls for the event will be a pair of former Prisoners of War. Brigadier General E.D. (Dave)

Woellner, USAF (Ret) was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps in 1942. He flew twin engine aircraft over France prior to and during the Allied invasion of Normandy. Lt. Woellner later transferred to the Eighth Air Force, where he piloted B-17 bombers. On his 13th mission, Woellner’s aircraft was shot down. He was captured and interned at Stalag Luft #1 for the duration of the war. Woellner subsequently received two Meritorious Service Medals, two Legion of Merit Awards and several combat decorations. Gen. Woellner later served in Korea and Vietnam, and retired as a Vice Commander of the Air Force.

Colonel Thomas H. Kirk Jr., USAF (Ret) served in the Korean Conflict and later flew fighter-bombers during the Vietnam War. In 1967, Kirk’s F-105 was shot down during a raid on North Vietnam. After safely parachuting from his aircraft, Tom Kirk was captured and sent to the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison, where he remained for more than five years until the war’s end in 1973. For his combat leadership and heroism, Kirk was awarded the Air Force Cross, three Silver Stars, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, nine Air Medals and the Purple Heart. Col. Kirk retired from the Air Force in 1978.

The Daisy Mountain Veterans (DMV) organization

is a non-profit group comprised of American Legion Post 128, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 128 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12031, all based in Anthem. Donations are used to defray parade expenses. Excess contributions, if any, are returned to the community in the form of assistance to needy veterans and their families.

The DMV Parade and Family Picnic is a popular patriotic event that has quickly become a local tradition. It is one of the largest veterans’ celebrations in the state, and has been designated an Official Arizona Centennial Event for the second consecutive year. For information on the parade go to daisymtnvets.org.

Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade saved by recent contributors

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusAfter a lack of financial support threatened to bring a halt to the Daisy Mountain Veterans Parade recent contributions will allow it to continue. The parade is set for 10 a.m., Nov. 10 in Anthem.

CORPORATION COMMISSION

COLLEEN GOODRICHSONORAN ARTS LEAGUE

She began her career as one of the first female draftsmen at General Motors in Detroit, specializing in auto body design and styling. She also operated her own marketing company and with her husband designed and built their home in Michigan. Then Sandi Ciaramitaro and her family made a move that would forever influence her award-winning artwork.

“Initially my family came to visit our snow birding parents,” Ciaramitaro said. “We immediately fell in love with Arizona. I was captivated by the desert at first sight,” she said. “It’s why I paint with such passion.”

Although Ciaramitaro has been a juried member of Sonoran Arts League for years and has been featured in Southwest Art Magazine, 2012 will be her first showing in the Hidden in the Hills Studio Art Tour and Sale, the signature event of Sonoran Arts League.

“I’m a member of many prestigious art organizations,” she said. “But participating in

the Hidden in the Hills Tour is especially gratifying. To be among gifted artists and friends, to meet so many art enthusiasts and collectors is exciting.”

Ciaramitaro has sketched and painted all her life for release and relaxation. Since becoming a professional artist she realized creating in oil and watercolor is a labor of love.

Every week you’ll find Ciaramitaro, her easel and oil paints perched somewhere overlooking flora, fauna, mountain vistas or even Tucson barrios. Some of the artist’s favorite spots include Tonto National Forest, Canyon de Chelley and Sonoran McDowell Conservancy.

Her oil paintings are created plein air (in the open air) and Alla Prima (painting in one go, finishing the piece on site.)

The artist considers herself fortunate to live adjacent to the Tonto National Forest, overlooking Red Mountain, the Salt River and the wild horses that roam there.

“I love painting wild horses in the Tonto,” she said. “Early in the morning as the sun is rising I can often hear neighs before

these magnificent animals come into sight. It’s heavenly – I’m so taken aback that I have to remember to breathe.”

This artist entrepreneur firmly believes in supporting local Arizona companies. “I use museum-grade quality linen on birch panels for my paintings, because my collectors deserve the best. SourceTek of Scottsdale handcrafts their panels one at a time for superior quality.

My oil paintings are framed in 25 to 100 year old reclaimed Arizona ranch wood. I work with Ron Bacher of Old Wood Creations in Phoenix who designs and handcrafts frames for each unique piece of art.

Known as the “Good Samaritan Artist”, Ciaramitaro always loads her truck with Fix-A-Flat just in case she runs into cyclists, fellow painters or off-road enthusiasts in need. Extra

water and first aid kits are also on hand and readily available.

“I so enjoy helping people,” the artist stated. “Whether it’s donating to the Foundation for the Blind, raising funds for Sunshine Acres Children’s Home or participating in the success of Cancer Relay for Life, I do what I can. I can’t think of

STAFF REPORT

The Boulder Creek Jaguars improved to 5-2 on the season with a 31-7 victory over winless North Canyon (0-7) Friday.

A week after a disappointing loss at home to Mountain Ridge, the Jaguars defense reasserted itself. In their five wins this season the Jaguars defense hasn’t given up more than 14 points.

At 5-2 the Jaguars head into the final three of the regular season looking to earn a state playoff berth. As of press time on Tuesday the Jaguars sat No. 17 in the Section I power ratings, one spot out of the last playoff berth.

While their early season schedule has only two teams currently with winning records their closing stretch will make them earn a playoff berth. On Friday the Jaguars take on the 6-1 Pinnacle Pioneers in their final road game of the regular season.

They then return home to take on Bradshaw Mountain (3-4) on Oct. 19 before closing the regular season on Oct. 26 when they host Desert Ridge (6-1).

Coach Dan Friedman said his team needs at least one more win to earn a playoff bid, but said his team would need two to guarantee a spot.

The Cactus Shadows Falcons can only hope to reach the .500 mark this season as they were defeated by the Horizon Huskies (6-1) 24-6 on Friday to fall to 2-5.

The Falcons return home this week for a 7 p.m., Thursday night game against Notre Dame (3-4) which will be televised on Cox 7. The following week Cactus Shadows will play its final road game of the regular season when they take on Paradise Valley (5-2) before closing out the regular season at home against Shadow Mountain (4-3) on Oct. 26.

luncheon Continued from page 1 “It might comes as a surprise

to people who think of this as an affluent area, but a lot of your neighbors are having a difficult time,” DiPietro said. “It’s very sad. I’ve never seen it as bad as this in my 11 years here. Our client base has grown. We have a lot of great donors, but unfortunately our donor base isn’t growing as rapidly.”

The Foothills Food Bank serves 180 square miles, north to Yavapai County, west to I-17, east to Rio Verde and south as far as Jomax Road. DiPietro said during September the food bank helped 377 families, giving out approximately 40,000 pounds of food. That total marked approximately 100 more families than in 2011.

“We’re probably averaging 10 new families a month,” she said.

In addition to providing the needy with food the non-profit, also was occasionally able to help pay an electric bill or some other expense in years past.

“It wasn’t always much, but sometimes families just needed that little bit to get through a particularly rough time,” DiPietro said. “For the first time in 24 years we’ve

had to cut off financial aid. It breaks my heart, but we’re spread thin.”

DiPietro said the event draws thousands of people each year and she’s hopeful to get another big draw this year.

MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

The Cactus Shadows Falcons shouldn’t feel much shame in being unable to beat the Notre Dame Prep Saints (12-0) this season.

For the second time in eight days the Falcons (15-5) fell in three straight sets to the top ranked team in the Section II power ratings.

While the results were only marginally better, as the Falcons fell 25-18, 25-23 and 25-22 on Oct. 3 compared to 25-21, 25-22 and 25-12 on Sept. 25, coach Michelle Gardiner said she felt significantly better about her team’s performance.

“I have total respect for the way my team played out there tonight,” Gardiner said. “If we play with the type of effort we got tonight and with no fear, and a confident attitude we’ll take our chances against anybody.”

Gardiner said that despite the fact that her team has dropped three of their last four matches they’ll only get better moving forward now that senior setter Kelsey Marks is back in the fold.

The Oct. 3 match against the Saints was only Marks second match since returning from an ankle injury that had her in a walking boot for an extended period of time.

“She’s just going to need some time to get back to where she was,” the coach said. “She’s probably only at 60-65 percent and she simply needs to get her timing back with her hitters and just be more comfortable with her hands. She really couldn’t do much while she was hurt.”

The opening set of the match saw the two teams feel each other out as both had their moments. After tying the match at 10 on an ace by Marks, the Saints responded with one of the longest runs of the night,

rattling off eight straight to allow the home team to coast to an opening set win.

The second set looked as though it might go the same way as Notre Dame’s Victoria Svorinic came up with a pair of aces as the Saints turned what once was a 10-10 tie into a 16-11 advantage.

Instead the Falcons rallied behind the serving of Jennifer Long, who pushed her team back on top at 19-17. Long finished with seven kills, to compliment the offensive prowess of senior middle blocker Carly Lenzen, who tallied a team-high 11 kills and also added five blocks.

From there the two teams traded a series of hitting errors before the Saints top offensive threat, out side hitter Genevieve Pirotte, finished off a 25-23 set two win with a kill for Notre Dame.

While Gardiner has enthusiastically praised her team’s back row defense she said the team still needs its blocking at the net to improve if the Falcons are to be an elite defensive squad.

“I liked the way we were playing tonight though,” she said. “Everybody was moving in unison together and we played with confidence.”

The coach said she hoped the team would continue to gel and stay healthy in the 32-team Goldwater Invitational.

The Falcons would go on to qualify for the silver division, finishing 14th overall.

The Boulder Creek Jaguars also took to the court in the Goldwater Invitational Following pool play the Jaguars were placed in the bronze division, finishing 23rd overall.

spoils her collectors. Anyone purchasing an original painting from Ciaramitaro receives a gift every year. It’s a set of 12 greeting cards and envelopes of the artwork they own. Printed on the back is the title of the work and the private collector’s name.

Among Ciaramitaro’s greatest prides, other than her husband and children, is her Italian heritage. “My ancestors go back to 15th century Italy. My grandparents came to America in 1914 with $40 that they used to start a beverage company. They were self starters, true entrepreneurs. And so am I. It must be in my genes.”

north valley diningWe at The Foothills Focus try and let our readers know about the

restaurants in the North Valley they may not have had the chance to try. If you have a favorite place that we should feature contact us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to make that happen.

What are your specialities, including dishes, drinks, events, etc.?

All hail the Al Pastor burrito; it was one of the items that put us on the map. What could be better than a combination of pork, pineapple and spice wrapped in a 14 inch flour tortilla – not much! Even Guy Fieri from the TV Food Network had to try our Al Pastor, you can see the footage from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on our website, RobertosAZ.com.

Customers come from miles around for our Al Pastor, menudo, homemade tamales and Maria’s famous salsa. We’ve had the privilege of shipping salsa to soldiers stationed in the Middle East. Oh, and we can’t forget Maria’s homemade margaritas.

Any other highlights, such as happy hour, catering, event rentals, etc.?

In addition to offering a variety of menu options, dine-in, take-out and delivery, we also offer full catering. We work with our customers to create the perfect menu whether it’s to serve 50 at a retirement party, 150 at a holiday party or 500 at a wedding. We do our best to help make the day fun, not stressful.

How did you decide to get into this business, and why in its specific location in the North Valley? If there is an event or realization or circumstance that drove you to this work, what is that? Tell a brief story of how you got here and why:As a young girl, Maria would spend hours in the kitchen with her grandmother and

mother – learning the secret to true authentic Mexican food. Maria shows love to her family and friends through her cooking, it’s her truest form of expression; food for Maria is the ultimate way for her to show her loved ones just how important they are. As a young once-married couple, Roger and Maria wanted to provide for their family and what better way than for Maria to do what she loves everyday – cooking for her friends and family. Anyone who knows Roger and Maria will tell you as soon as you walk into Roberto’s you’ll be instant friends and some will even become family.

Family is the most important thing to Maria and Roger, which is why after ending their marriage many years ago, the couple decided to remain business partners in Roberto’s.

Roger and Maria didn’t get hung up on their martial issues, they focused on the bigger picture providing for their family and growing their family owned restaurant. Roger and Maria, although live separate lives, together they raise their 5 children in the same North Valley block and work at Roberto’s – always keeping the family intact.

The next generation is hard at work at Roberto’s with Brandon Amaya running the front and deliveries; and Abraham Amaya cleaning tables and helping out anywhere needed.

SPECIAL FOR THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS

Rian Johnson has shown considerable promise as a director with his first two films; the youthful nourish tale Brick and the comedy crime caper The Brothers Bloom. Johnson’s third film is ambitious, tackling science fiction and the difficult concept of time travel. Looper, guided by a steady hand and strong characters, tackles the journey through time in the dystopian future with more than satisfying results.

Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a looper, a hired assassin, who works for a crime organization that operates 30 years in the future. Time travel is discovered and immediately made illegal, but criminals in the future are reaping the benefits to dispose of their problems, mainly people. Joe is intuitive, knowing his time as a hired hand is temporary he saves his earnings in hopes of traveling the world. The problem with this profession is looper’s are privy to company secrets, leaving the future organizations to close the loop once in for all. This leads Joe to an assignment that has him holding a gun to his future self (Bruce Willis).

There is an interesting relationship between the past and the future that Johnson develops early on with some creative environments and

wardrobe decisions. It would be hard to identify the era if it wasn’t for the flying vehicles and hyper stylized nightclubs. Past is everywhere in Looper; from the flapper girl style of a high end stripper with a heart of gold (Piper Perabo) or Gordon-Levitt’s dapper 50s fashion; it’s a nice touch of the “old is new” style. Casablanca even makes an appearance as Bogart and Bergman’s chance Paris nightclub adds to the tone of yesteryear. The past-future relationship is well executed and keeps the film grounded with a sense of realism.

The time travel aspects of storytelling can be overwhelming but Johnson offers a non-confusing, though still complex, explanation. The standout characteristic of the narrative is the development of the primary characters. Johnson spends a large portion of the first act dedicated to Gordon-Levitt’s Joe before we are introduced to Willis’ old Joe in a short montage of his aging and changed personality. It’s an ingenious contrast to

see the promise of youth and the caution of age displayed in a character. There are some slight missteps unfortunately, an introduction of a crucial character arch comes about late and some of the science fiction themes feel slightly overused.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an accomplished actor, again showcasing the range he is able to achieve, while Bruce Willis still handles the reins of an action vehicle with surprising ease. There is a great tension filled diner scene that displays both of their honed skills. Emily Blunt is also good as an overprotective mom with a gun. Her interactions with her son Cid, an excellent Pierce Gagnon, are touching and offer some great depth with their relationship.

Johnson utilizes violence with staggering and sudden effect, but it never feels gratuitous. The theme of desperation in the future world leaves its’ inhabitants in a constant mode of survival. Everyone seems to have a weapon, which makes everyone a threat; this gives Looper an underlying western gunslinger sensibility.

While the film might seem somewhat influenced by The Terminator, it’s more suitable to compare with the 1962 film La Jetée with a touch of 1995’s Twelve Monkeys. Looper is one of the better time travel films in recent memory.

opinions and letters

North Valley Conservancy urges no vote on Prop 120

There was a psychological experiment done in Germany several years ago. People were partnered and put into rooms with one person given ten dollars to split with the other person any way they saw fit. The other person either accepted his portion or not. If he rejected the split, then neither of them got to keep any money.

In almost every case, any time the split was other than 50/50 the offer was turned down and no one left with any money. They repeated this test with one hundred dollars and had the same results. If the split wasn’t deemed fair by the intended recipient, it was rejected and neither got to keep any money.

This story was found in a book entitled “The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior” and illustrates that most people (in competitive modern societies) will choose no money over a shared amount they consider unequal or unfair. Interestingly enough, when the same experiment was conducted in a remote Amazon village everyone accepted the money irregardless of whether it was an even split or not. They reasoned (reasonably) that any money was better than no money. They also accepted and understood how someone would keep the larger share for themselves;

they weren’t troubled because they comprehended that they now at least had “some” money which was freely given to them and they didn’t feel entitled to it; instead they felt grateful.

I found this fascinating with far reaching implications for us modern urbanites. From the time we are children measuring our brothers glass of soda to our own, the size of his slice of pie compared to mine and so forth we insist on “fairness and equality” in the family and whine and complain when it isn’t present.

Later we extend this entitlement to fairness to many other aspects of our lives. We compare ourselves endlessly to one another to determine whether we are getting our fair share of opportunities, salaries, educations, promotions; we assess our skills and abilities, size and shape and looks and create our self regard from how well we stack up against everybody else. Some of us find it preferable to be a big fish in a small pond than to compete with all the predators and end up small fish in the big sea of ambitions.

I believe this obsession and insistence on “fairness” has far reaching consequences. It helps to explain why so often in our individual interactions we end

up in either win/lose or lose/lose situations. It explains how two congressional parties can become uncompromising and therefore, completely frozen and ineffective the same way two spouses can refuse to come to agreements which sometimes leads to divorce.

I think this “fairness” attitude is present in our rigid ideas of right and wrong, and good and bad. Most of us rarely consider the grayness which is a far more accurate description of reality than simple black and white perceptions and interpretations.

Rather than acknowledging the merits of differing opinions and perhaps collaborating which could lead to successful negotiations we often prefer to choose no solution over a partial or compromised one. These irreconcilable interactions with one another at individual, national and global levels do not bode well for our future.

In modern urban cultures, in education and in business we are taught over and over again to compete with one another. If someone wins someone else must lose. Where in our society is cooperation modeled? How many urban folks interact much at all with their neighbors? Are we shown how to be helpful when others are in need or are

we taught fearfully and selfishly to stay on our side of the gated fence in our upscale community and spout idiotic idioms like, ‘self-made man, rags to riches, pulling yourself up (by yourself) by your bootstraps. Heroes are the highly ambitious and competitive winners in a culture measured by material wealth and that intangible false esteem known as “status”. Is it possible we have been choosing the wrong role models most of our lives? Possible that maybe we have chosen a life of appearing successful over a life of genuine quality? What do we value; what is truly important? What feeds the heart and soul?

If you haven’t noticed by now that millions upon millions of successful Americans are addicted to one thing or another, depressed and bolstering themselves just to get through one more day. When and why did life become such a drudgery?

Why each of us walk our own

paths and are often headed in different directions altogether. I have no answers for anyone outside myself (and not always myself either) but I think it’s important to pose questions, to stop occasionally in our urgent flight through life to look within ourselves and consider if we are truly happy and healthy or are we still blindly doing “whatever gets us through the day?”

I have a very happy neighbor with an unsinkable positive attitude; we both live on opposite sides of the same street in the same neighborhood but evidently see and live in different worlds. The sound of a power saw annoys and disturbs me while he is grateful that such a tool exists to create and build with. Maybe I should move to his side of the street...or at least, visit him more often.

Vote No on Prop 120! This is an absurd and unconstitutional proposal. Putting it on the ballot is a waste of public money and a waste of everyone’s time. Here’s the gist of the Proposition:

The Arizona Legislature is attempting to amend the Arizona Constitution to take control of all public lands in Arizona, i.e. all national parks, monuments, forests, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, etc. except Indian Reservations and Military lands -- roughly 25 million acres including gems such as Grand Canyon, Tonto National Forest, and Saguaro National Park. Not only do legislators want jurisdiction over all public lands in Arizona, they also want to establish control over all air, water, minerals, wildlife, and other natural resources in the state.

Proposition 120 is a budget disaster. Arizona cannot even manage to fund its State Parks in good times, let alone keep them open during hard budget times. No thought or plan has been put into how these additional lands would be staffed, funded, or managed by the state. Proposition 120 puts the entire bill on the tab of Arizona taxpayers. Do you really believe that the legislators would or could provide an adequate budget?

It would not be long before the “auction” would be held, and all of these precious national resources would go to the highest bidders – foreign mining companies, land developers – those interests that have the most to gain by exploiting these now-protected lands…and we, the citizens of Arizona, and our fellow citizens of the United States, would lose them forever.

Vote no on Proposition 120.

Ann Hutchinson Executive Vice President, North Country Conservancy
