MARC BUCKHOUTMANAGING EDITOR

Christian Graca wants theater enthusiasts to know that there’s no place like Starlight Community Theater.

Graca is the director of the theater’s season debut, The Wizard of Oz, set to run Friday – Nov. 18 with 14 performances.

“You can’t stray too far from the main story, but we’ve added some humorous current references to keep the audience on its toes, but the show is a classic with the story and the music. People will end the night singing the songs as they leave,” she said.

The show is a family affair as Savoy Graca, 14 and Thomas Graca 17, are starring with Savoy performing

in the role of the Wicked Witch and Thomas playing the part of the Scarecrow.

“This show has sentimental meaning for me,” Savoy said. “The first show I ever did was Wiz. When I was 6 I played the part of a munchkin.”

For a less than physically imposing Savoy, who jokes about her lack of height, playing the roll of the intimidating Wicked Witch has been a fun challenge.

“I’m working on being as mean as I can,” she said. “Even when we’re not rehearsing I’m still trying to work on it. It’s fun.”

Thomas Graca said he was initially more interested in working on the tech side, focusing on the sound for the show, but is excited he made the decision to perform.

“I love the physicality of the

role,” he said. “The Scarecrow

is always jumping around,

falling down. It’s tough on

my knees, but that’s okay.”

He said he also loves the chemistry the group of actors have.

THE FOOTHILLS FOCUS

Gourds are gourds are gourds… unless they’re in the hands of an extraordinary someone who transforms them into elaborate masks, sculpture people, wall hangings, vessels and whimsical objects of art.

That extraordinary someone is Valley artist Jane Boggs.

Boggs, a member of Sonoran Arts League and a participating artist in November’s Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour and Sale, began her love affair with gourds 15 years ago.

“Although I never had a formal art education, creating art was always part of my life,” Boggs said. “I was in the process of taking oil painting lessons and then one day on an impulse I purchased 100 gourds. It was an immediate connection for me. Karma was coming down my path. I was so intrigued by the gourds, their

sizes and shapes that I haven’t painted in oils since!”

Boggs began incorporating her fascination with Native American and African cultures plus her love of nature into elaborate gourd designs. “It a joy working with such an unusual, organic medium,” she explained. “Creating gourd art has been not only the perfect challenge, but one of the main focuses of my life.”

Boggs was recently given the highest recognition by Sonoran Arts League in featuring her “Avatar” gourd mask on the 2012 HITH Directory cover. (The directory itself has been the recipient of design excellence awards.)

Cited from nearly 90 participating artists, Boggs’ creation was the first time a three dimensional piece of art was selected in 15 years. “I’m excited and grateful for the vote of confidence from my fellow Sonoran Arts League

artists,” she said. “This is certainly an honor!”

“Avatar” is a mixed-media gourd mask and inspired by the movie of the same name. Boggs said it was several years in the making and left unfinished until this spring.

Boggs is among nearly 160 artists on the Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour & Sale. She’s located at Studio 38 where the public can see a wide array of her creations and watch her plus other Sonoran Arts League artists at work.

Boggs explained that shape and coloration dictate the final form her gourds assume. “Each is one of a kind. Each has a story and a life of its own.”

After cleaning a gourd to reveal its true colors, Boggs initiates her design process with pyro-engraved etching. Acrylic dyes, stains, inks and paints are

Artist’s creativity never Boggs down working with gourds

upkeep, maintenance and the utilities cost to light the arena in the evenings.

Club president Joe Noll said the event will have something for everybody.

“We typically have between 85 to 90 riders,” he said. “We’ve had a six month old baby ride with her mom and we’ve had riders as old as 85 participate. It’s a family friendly event for sure.”

Horse rentals will not be available. The ride will leave from the arena and go through the Fig Springs area. Noll estimates the ride will return to the arena at approximately 12:30 p.m. Participants will receive a poker hand at the conclusion of the ride. Prizes will be awarded for the best hand, the low hand and the person with a joker will be awarded a belt buckle. Additionally prizes will be given to the event’s youngest solo rider and the oldest rider.

Those interested in supporting the cause, but not interested in participating in the ride can purchase lunch for $10. Along with lunch, the Jacob Waltz Band will perform and a silent auction will take place with a variety of items available

for bid. There will also be a 50/50 raffle.

Noll said the goal is to raise $3,000.

The arena was officially opened in the fall of 1998 and named Larkyn Memorial Arena after a local youth, Larkyn Dwyer, was killed when TWA Flight 800 crashed. Along with the arena the Kiwanis Club is the manager of the park which also includes ball fields, a play ground and the Senior Center.

Noll said youth riders are at the arena from 6 – 9:30 p.m. each Tuesday for barrel racing. The North Valley Saddle Club also uses the arena regularly as does Buck Brannaman, who performs horse training clinics at the arena sporadically.

Larkyn Memorial Arena is located at New River Kiwanis Community Park, located at 15th Ave. north of New River Road. Sign up for the ride is at 8 a.m.

For information on the event call Joe Noll at 623-337-2067 or email [email protected]. For information on New River Kiwanis go to newriverkiwanis.org.

“It’s just a fun show with a good message,” the 16-year-old said. “No matter how old you are when you see it I think it takes you back to your childhood.”

Riley Watkins, 15, is making the trip all the way from Glendale to perform as Glenda, the Good Witch.

“When I got the role I cried,” she said. “This is the biggest role I’ve ever had. The cast is great, the costumes are great and so is the music.”

be a performer on Broadway

is similarly excited to be in the

The Outlets at Anthem once again is laying claim to having the tallest fresh-cut Christmas tree in the country. This year’s tree arrived on Thursday. The 110-foot, 27-foot wide white fur weighs in at about 12 tons.

A crew of 14 secured the tree to a large strap from which a construction crane hoisted it off the flatbed, rotated it and lowered it into a specially designed tree well in center court.

The tree arrived following a four-day journey from northern California, travelling nearly 750 miles on a 75-foot stretch trailer.

Throughout the next few weeks, the tree will be moved into position, shaped with 1,000 live branches ranging from 3-13 feet, strung with 180 strands of lights stretching a total length of three miles and decorated with more than 6,000 ornaments

that measure 4-11-inches in ci rcumference and large fabric bows. It will be topped with a three-foot star h a n d c r a f t e d from copper. Decorating will be completed approximately by Nov. 9.

The 11th a n n u a l C h r i s t m a s tree lighting event, featuring free family entertainment including this year’s American Idol winner, Phillip Phillips, is scheduled to start at 6 p.m., Nov. 17.

A season removed from a 15-14 season, which saw the Cactus Shadows Falcons volleyball program miss out on the state tournament for the first time in years, first year coach Michelle Gardiner has led the program back to the post season following a 23-12 regular season.

The capper on the regular season came on Oct. 24, as the Falcons avenged a Sept. 27 sweep at the hands\ of the Paradise Valley Trojans by claiming a 29-31, 25-16, 25-18, 25-15 win.

“They outscrapped us the first time we played them,” Gardiner admitted. “I think tonight we reversed that. Our defense seemed to frustrate them. When you can take a team out of what normally works for them they get impatient and try and rush. Then you see some errors.”

The victory had more significance for the team’s six seniors who thought they were playing their final game on their home court, a group that includes Kelsey Marks,

Miranda Walker, Madi Horn, Abby Slack, Carly Lenzen and Jennifer Long.

“It was really kind of sad,” Marks said. “It’s bitter sweet that this was our last home game together.”

Marks, though, made the most of the opportunity as the setter filled the stat sheet and kept the Trojans defense guessing as she collected 38 assists during the match. Along with setting up her teammates, she chipped in defensively with 19 digs, second only to Slack, who collected 27. Rounding out her night she also came up with three kills, two blocks and two aces.

After suffering an ankle injury during midseason, Marks said she’s back at 100 percent and believes her team is clicking on all cylinders.

“I think we’re peaking at the right time,” she said.

While the match started with what could have been a dejecting 31-29 loss in set one, Long said she and her teammates weren’t rattled.

“We just had to stop making stupid mistakes,” she said. “We

cost ourselves that first one. We don’t taking losing lightly. They beat us the first time we played them, but we came out with better focus tonight.”

After dropping the first set the Falcons never trailed in taking the second set 25-16.

Long finished with 13 kills on the night, second only to Lenzen, who contributed a team-best 16 kills.

Lenzen said the better her teammates do offensively the more chances she will have.

“I’m kind of used to teams focusing their defense my way, but if I can draw the block it opens up chances for our other girls,” she said.

While Lenzen, the most tenured varsity player on the roster, having played at the varsity level since her freshman year, has made her biggest mark on the program at the net she made her presence felt from the

service line against the Trojans.With the score tied 9-9 in

set 3 the 6-foot senior rattled off eight consecutive points, including four aces during that stretch. For the match she tallied a team-best six aces.

Staked to a 17-10 lead the Falcons would let Paradise Valley get no closer than four points in winning set three by the score of 25-18.

The fourth and final set was more of the same as the Falcons backrow defense seemed to frustrate Paradise Valley with their bevy of digs.

“We’re never going to be a great blocking team, but our defense is a source of confidence,” Gardiner said. “We really play hard and I think we’re peaking at the right time.”

While the Falcons coaching staff anticipated the team, which went into the match No.

10 in the power ratings, might move up a spot to No. 9 in the power ratings, they made no suggestion that the win in the finale could be so beneficial.

On Saturday the Division II state tournament brackets were released showing Cactus Shadows as a No. 7 seed. By moving into the top eight spots they earned a first round home match, facing off with No. 10 Liberty on Tuesday (results unavailable at press time).

If the Falcons won on Tuesday they would face the winner of No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 15 Canyon del Oro at 7 p.m. Thursday. Check facebook.com/thefoothills.focus for the results of Tuesday’s match and if and where Cactus Shadows will play on Thursday.

STAFF REPORTCactus Shadows senior

quarterback Bryce Kinsler capped his career Friday with a 235 yard passing performance that took him to 8,679 yards for his career. The three-year starter surpassed the state record for career passing yards, formerly help by Rathen Ricedorff.

Kinsler, who earlier in the season broke the state’s single game state passing record by amassing 639 yards in a loss to Prescott, closed his senior season with a victory, a 50-17 win over Shadow Mountain.

After starting as a sophomore and helping the Falcons to a state playoff berth during a 7-4 season the Falcons slid to 3-7 finishes each of the past two seasons.

Cactus Shadows senior sets passing record in season-ending win

For the second straight season the Boulder Creek Jaguars saw their season come to a close at the hands of their namesakes from Mesa.

A year after the Desert Ridge Jaguars shutout the Boulder Creek Jaguars 49-0 in the first round of the state playoffs things weren’t much better in the 2012 regular season finale in Anthem.

With Boulder Creek (6-4) needing a win to guarantee themselves a playoff bid the Jaguars, from Mesa, put the game out of reach by halftime, taking a 20-0 lead on their way to a 40-7 win. Going into the game Boulder Creek sat at No. 17 in the Division-I power ratings. The playoff field consists of the top 16 teams, with the caveat that three teams from

each of the state’s three sections must be represented

“I felt like they had to fight for the scores they got, but we just didn’t make enough plays to give ourselves a chance to win,” coach Dan Friedman said.

Thanks to a rash of penalties and a solid effort defensively from Boulder Creek the game was still within reach late in the second quarter.

Down 13-0 Boulder Creek was in position to get the ball with just under three minutes remaining. Facing a fourth down from their own 19 yardline Desert Ridge set up to punt. With playmaker Isaiah Huston awaiting the punt just on the other side of the 50-yardline Boulder Creek figured to get the ball with good field position and at least have a chance to get on the scoreboard before the half.

Instead a roughing the kicker call on the play gave Desert Ridge a first down.

While it cost Boulder Creek a chance at scoring before the half it didn’t appear as though it would be a game-changing mistake when four plays later Desert Ridge was forced to punt again.

This time a low snap resulted in punter Manny Figueroa scooping up the loose ball and running around the left side to pick up the first down. Two plays later, despite facing a 2nd-and-38, Desert Ridge handed the ball to Nathanial Rodriquez. The junior went up the middle and wasn’t brought down until he reached the Boulder Creek 8-yardline.

On the very next play quarterback Tarek Morrison delivered the game’s knockout blow on an 8-yard touchdown up the middle, which made the score 20-0 with 27 seconds left before the half.

Overall Morrison rushed for 79 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. He also completed 3-of-6 passes for 94 yards including two touchdowns.

Desert Ridge extended the lead to 32-0 at the end of the third quarter before the Jaguars got on the board early in the fourth quarter on an 11 yard touchdown pass from freshman Gunther Johnson to junior tight end Dan Johnson.

Friedman lamented the loss of senior Stephen Landeros,

who suffered a concussion in the first quarter and wasn’t able to return.

The coach expressed frustration that after making the playoffs at 6-4 in 2011 it might not be good enough to make it this year, with the brackets set to be released the next morning. The final power rankings had Boulder Creek at No. 18 in the power rankings.

“It’s frustrating not knowing what has to happen,” he said. “I felt like we are on the cusp of being a playoff team. The scores

might not show it, but I felt like we were competitive against playoff teams this year.”

Against Brophy, the No. 4 seed in the state tournament, the Jaguars lost 35-14 on Aug. 31. Boulder Creek fell to No. 7 Pinnacle 27-7 on Oct. 12 before the 40-7 loss to Desert Ridge.

Friedman said the battles against top notch competition will help his largely young roster moving forward.

“That’s how you get better, by competing against the best,” he said.

LAKE PLEASANTLake elevation is 1,638

feet, 39 percent full with approximately 5,957 surface acres. No new reports. See the Oct. 11 edition of the Fishing Report for preliminary Lake Pleasant survey data.

BARTLETT LAKELake elevation is 1,759 feet,

which is 51 percent full. No new reports. Should be good topwater action for bass off-and-on throughout the day. Try working the main lake points, islands and reefs, but don’t ignore the deeper coves, especially in the morning. Sometimes you can find bass feeding on large schools of shad in the coves. For bluegills, try the backs of rocky coves using night crawlers or meal worms on light

tackle. Also look for large rafts of bluegill, especially up in the narrows. When you find them, small spinners, crappie jigs and worms can get you lots of fish to fry.

SAGUARO LAKELake elevation is 1,525

feet, which is 93 percent full. This report came in last week from Kevin Bergersen, one of the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s officers and the Arizona Boating Law Administrator. “Yellow bass fishing at Saguaro Lake is heating up. Look for them in 20 to 30 feet of water under schools of shad. Jig just off the bottom using small metal jigs and spoons in early to mid-morning for best results. Anglers are catching good numbers of

yellow bass with incidental catches of channel catfish and largemouth bass while jigging.”

CANYON LAKELake elevation is at 1,659 feet,

which is 97 percent full. No new reports. While Canyon is the land of the lunkers, it can be tough to fish, especially for novice anglers. Catch rates are typically low and even veteran anglers get skunked here. But the possibility of catching a hawg keeps many anglers coming back time and again. This is a pretty good lake for bluegill and yellow bass. Try small crappie-like lures, such as 2-inch curly tails, along the rocky shoreline. Shore fishing for channel catfish and carp can also be viable both day and night right now.

This is a scaled down, North Valley focused, version of the weekly fishing report produced by Arizona Game and Fish. To view the complete listing go to http://azgfd.net/artman/publish/FishingReport Oct-26-Fishing-report.shtml.

WILLIAMS

SHIELDS

JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMSNORTH vALLEY JUSTICE

OF THE PEACE

With the possible exception of sign manufacturers, I don’t know anyone who enjoys seeing political signs each campaign season, perhaps especially those that tend to cluster at key intersections. They are governed by a complex set of laws, local ordinances and even homeowners’ association (HOA) requirements.

These signs will be going away soon; but until after the election, they remain protected. They are even protected by the First Amendment and political speech, as annoying as it often becomes, is, next to freedom of religion, perhaps our most important freedom.

There are two main state laws that govern political signs. The first one is A.R.S. § 33-1808. It was amended during the last legislative session by House Bill 2471, which was signed into law by the governor on April 11, 2012. The new law placed some

additional restrictions on how HOAs are a l l o w e d to limit the time, place, and manner of

campaign signs. For example, an HOA is now allowed to prohibit political signs 71 days before an election (the old law said 45 days).

The other main law is A.R.S. § 16-1019. It is actually a criminal statute and makes it a class 2 misdemeanor to “knowingly remove, alter, deface or cover” a political sign. This section obviously does not apply to candidates or to people working for them that move their own signs. It also does not apply to private property owners removing signs from their own land. However, there is another layer of laws that political campaign volunteers have to worry about.

The city of Phoenix (as

do most cities) has a set of local ordinances that govern signs and political signs. For example, a sign on private property that is larger than 32 square feet would require a permit. Another example is that signs within Phoenix must generally be removed 10 days after the election.

Literally in every election,

one side accuses the other of stealing their signs. Also, in every election cycle, signs disappear.

Two years ago, when I was up for reelection, I know many of my signs vanished. Whether they were taken as a prank, or by someone looking to use the wire “H” frame to support their tomato plants, taking

them before the election is

still a crime. If you get caught

stealing campaign signs, your

best hope is that you don’t have

to go before an elected judge.

Judge Williams is the presiding

justice of the peace for the Northwest

Regional Court Center. His

olumn appears monthly in

The Foothills Focus.

Shor t ly after the cooling of the Earth, I, then a much y o u n g e r m a n , w o r k e d

in two statewide campaigns in Ohio, during which lifelong friendships were forged and many colorful characters were met. No character was more colorful than “Jumpin’ Joe” Ferguson, who in 1970, at the age of 78, was returned by Ohio voters to the state auditor’s office, which he had previously occupied from 1936 to 1952.

Ferguson — a short, energetic man — earned his nickname by forever bobbing up and down on his toes, apparently to establish eye contact with his taller colleagues. In 1950, Jumpin’ Joe was the Democratic challenger

to U.S. Sen. Robert A. Taft, an Ohio icon nationally known as “Mr. Republican.”

During that campaign, Ferguson was asked his position on the two tiny Chinese Nationalist islands then belonging to Taiwan but coveted by the communist bosses of mainland China.

Reporter: “Joe, what about Quemoy and Matsu?”

Joe — proving that foreign affairs was not his strong suit: “I’llcarry‘emboth!”

From that day forward until Bob Taft’s landslide Election Day victory, Joe Ferguson’s one-size-fits-all answer to any question on foreign policy became, “Beat Michigan.”

I like Ohio, which the last time I checked led the nation in state funding for public libraries. The Buckeye State is older, whiter and poorer — 35th in median household income and 37th in

college graduates — than the nation. True, Ohio, having sent seven of her sons — Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Harding — to the White House (not many Mount Rushmore runners-up in that group, I concede), can be rightly called the Mother of Presidents.

But Ohio, as we are reminded at least hourly, is truly the Epicenter of the Political World. Yes, there are other important swing states this year, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The remaining 41 states — where almost four out of five Americans live — are reduced to spectators, which the candidates only visit if they qualify as campaign ATM machines.

But the presidential candidate who wins Ohio will almost certainly be taking the oath of office at the Capitol next Jan. 20. You can forget the Big Apple and Big D and

L.A. They’re all chopped liver compared to Chillicothe, Steubenville and Zanesville.

I guess I should be happy for Ohio, which has not had a lot of good news these last 30 years or so. But let’s be blunt. The only reason Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, President Obama and Vice President Biden are living in or near the Columbus media market is because of a historic mistake we call the Electoral College.

The Founding Fathers were not, it turns out, infallible. The Electoral College is absolutely anti-democratic. All Americans are treated unequally. Because each state gets two electoral votes for its two U.S. senators and an electoral vote for each of its House members, every state, regardless of population, has a minimum of three electoral votes.

This means that Wyoming, which in the most recent U.S. Census had 568,300 residents, has three electoral votes, and California, with 37,341,989 residents (which awards it 53

House members), has 55 electoral votes. As Bill Clinton might suggest, look at the arithmetic: Wyoming gets one electoral vote for every 189,493 residents, while it takes 678,945 Californians to get a single electoral vote. This is indefensible.

All we need to know is that of the scores of democracies created since World War II — the great majority of which were informed by the American example — not a single country has adopted, in any form, the Electoral College. I’m a ‘college’ dropout. Let’s

make Americans in all 50 states — not just in nine — count. Let’s value every American vote equally through national, uniform voter registration and with candidates seeking support everywhere and from everyone.

I’m sorry, Ohio, the Electoral College must go.
