STAFF REPORTA midair collision involving
two single engine planes on Friday morning killed four people.
The accident happened at 10:13 a.m., approximately six miles north of Carefree Highway in New River.
The Cessna, part of Westwind School of Aeronautics at Deer Valley Airport burst into flames upon crash landing. Medical examiners were needed to identify the bodies.
Fire crews went to the area, near Lake Pleasant, and found the two planes. The Cessna caught fire upon impact and was unrecognizable according to Dave Wilson, the public information officer for the Daisy Mountain Fire Department.
The second plane, a Piper is owned by Bird Acquisition LLC, which operates TransPac Aviation Academy, a local flight school that trains U.S. and international pilots. Bird Acquisition is a Massachusetts company with an office location at the Deer Valley Airport.
The two on board were identified as Paul Brownell who was in his late 30s. The training pilot on board was 26-year-old Basil Onuferko, although which person was flying the plane is unknown.
The cause of the collision is under investigation.
Lake Pleasant to host Adventure Day SaturdayMARC BUCkHOUT
MANAGING EDITOR
Lake Pleasant Adventure Day is bringing a host of activities to the lake from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Free fishing will be part of the event, which will include hands-on learning opportunities for scuba, diving, boating, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and other forms of recreation.
What once was simply a day where attendees got an overview of scuba diving has expanded in recent years.
“The first four or five years it was just a scuba day, but we wanted to open it to more of the general public,” park ranger Terry Gerber said. “We’ve done that and as a result we’ve had some really good turnouts the last couple years.”
The free event still includes a scuba demonstration, giving attendees a chance to breathe on a diving apparatus and watch
Women pursue equestrian passion at Desert Hills ranchMARC BUCkHOUT
MANAGING EDITOR
For those that aren’t interested in horses, the term dressage probably doesn’t create much of a response unless they’re fans of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report.
The comedian did several skits on then presedential candidate Mitt Romney’s horse which was competing in the event during the Olympics.
Instead of simply a punchline the event is a passion for a group of women who spend much of their spare time at Carefree Farms off Carefree Highway and 7th Ave. in Desert Hills.
Along with dressage the 30 – 40 people that are regularly on the 17 acre property also work on their skills stadium jumping and cross country jumping.
“You come out here and once you come through the gates time stops. This is all you think about,” Karen Carns, a 57-year-old Anthem resident said.
Carns story isn’t all that unique amongst the group with many that were introduced to
riding in their youth and then return to riding after a long gap while they raised families.
For Carns it was a medical scare seven years ago that made her decide to start riding
once again after retiring from a career in television.
Late last month she and several of her fellow Carefree Farms riders were up in Flagstaff for a competition
where Carns finished second to Desert Hills resident Christie Murphy, another Carefree Farms rider.

divers go through a routine it now offers a much greater array of opportunities.
Gerber said he expects an archery group to be in attendance. Arizona Game and Fish will be on hand with a variety of activities to try from fishing to boating. Arizona Outdoor Fun Rentals will be showing off some boats and water skis as well.
“It’s a chance for people to try activities they haven’t had an opportunity to try before,” Gerber said.
Along with Academy of Scuba, Sports Chalet Scuba and Scuba Pros some of the other groups planning to attend are the Arizona Radio Control Society model airplane club, Southwest Kayaks, Desert Voyagers, Brock Fish Paddle Boards and Shaka Boards. In
addition to the host of watercraft including inflatable kayaks, sit on top kayaks or peddle kayaks there will be non-water based activities as well.
Aside from the archery group the model airplane group will give attendees a chance to try and fly a remote control plane. Thanks to buddy boxes, inexperienced pilots can take the controls and fly a plane, but still have the security that should they get in trouble a more experienced hobbyist can flip a switch and retake the controls.
In addition to the activities there will be a variety of information booths manned by the Arizona Outdoor & Travel Club, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Maricopa County Sheriff Department, Maricopa County Environmental Services, Maricopa County Parks & Recreation, City of Peoria
Parks & Recreation, NAUI Diving, PADI Diving, SSI Diving, Arizona Hiking Shack, Southwest Dive Magazine, Turf Soaring School, Arizona Game & Fish Invasive Species, and a casting fishing game for kids.
To get to Lake Pleasant, take
Carefree Highway to Castle Hot Springs Road. Cost to enter the park is $6 per vehicle. The activities and booths will be set up on the west side of the 10-lane boat ramp. For information on Saturday’s event call 602-372-7460 ext. 202.
While dressage is often called ballet on horse back the other two events that make up competitions are an adrenaline rush according to Carns. While dressage is an event judged on the precision movements of horse and rider the other two events are based on the speed with which horse and rider can navigate obstacles without knocking any of them over.
“When you’re doing the cross-country portion you’re covering 400 meters per minute,” Carns said. “When you come up to some of the bigger obstacles you want to be sick, but then the feeling you have when you sail over them, there’s nothing like it. You feel like a little girl flying.”
Anthem resident Kristi McLarean compares it to another adrenaline rush.
“It’s kind of like riding a motorcycle,” she said. “It’s the feeling of the wind rushing through your hair under your helmet.”
Cairns said she knew she would be competitive about
riding and even though she has suffered a pair of concussions, broken ribs and injured her shoulder in various falls she doesn’t see herself stepping away from the sport anytime soon.
“It’s like anything else,” she said. “You have to have a passion for it to be any good.”
Murphy, who learned to ride as a kid, picked it back up at the age of 27 and said she got somewhat serious about being competitive seven or eight years ago.
“I’m out here five days a week
riding,” she said. “You have to be committed if you want to be competitive.”
And while some have a competitive fire others view their time at Carefree Farms simply as good exercise and a way to relax and enjoy the camaraderie shared amongst their fellow riders.
Michelle Ochenkoski didn’t start riding until she was 42 years old, prompted only when her up until then healthy husband had to have a heart procedure.
“I grew up with my Barbies on horses,” she said. “I always wanted to have a horse and finally realized I shouldn’t wait any longer.”
The Anthem resident started with lessons, then upped her level of seriousness when she leased a horse before eventually buying her own.
“I don’t play tennis or golf,” she said. “This is my thing. And I thing I have more fun with this.”
Ochenkoski focuses her time on dressage.
“I like it because it’s not as jostling as the other events. I don’t do this to compete. I don’t have any desire to compete, but I like working with my horse, getting some exercise and being out here with these people.”
One of the younger riders among the bunch is 16-year-old North Phoenix resident Elaina Corbin.
Corbin, who comes out to the ranch with her mother, Heidi, has been riding for nine years.
She said her experience working with horses has taught her a variety of things including responsibility, dedication, self esteem.
Heidi said she enjoys watching her daughter have fun, but admits from her perspective it can be a bit nerve-racking.
Regardless of whether the riders are young or old they all say they’ve learned plenty from Alice Sano, who owns the property.
“You have to speak horse,” Sano said in explaining what it takes to be a trainer. “I help them to enjoy their horses. All horses and owners are a little different. My job is to enhance the relationship.”
Sano said as long as the mind is willing and the body is able she’ll work with anybody, saying she has helped riders ranging in age from 6 to 100.
“I encourage them to set attainable goals,” she said. “Sometimes they get frustrated with themselves and that’s when I remind them to chill out. I can help them along, but sometimes it takes baby steps.”

North Valley Symphony honors Anthem teen
STAFF REPORT
Anthem resident, Gabrielle Lorenc, was recently awarded a new $5,000 handmade violin at the May 18th North Valley Symphony Orchestra concert. Lorenc is the concert master for the North Valley Symphony Youth Orchestra, and also plays in the second violin section in the NVSO Adult Orchestra. At only 14 years old, Gabrielle has been playing violin nine years, and plans a long career of violin performance.
The application process to win the violin, offered to
members of North Valley Symphony Orchestra’s Symphonettes and Youth Orchestra, consisted of composing answers to five essay questions, obtaining a letter of recommendation from outside the NVSO organization, and auditioning in front of a panel of judges on the afternoon of the final concert. The violin was a donation by local luthier, Jody Summerford, who recognizes the work that the NVSO volunteer artistic staff is doing to nurture and develop young musicians in the Phoenix community.
Miss Lorenc’s private teacher, Claire Gordon, says she’s at a level where most students she competes against have a higher quality instrument. “Not having that higher quality instrument was holding me back in certain areas,” Lorenc says. “The real miracle of winning this instrument is a double blessing. My family plans to sell my current violin and my sister’s viola, and will use that money to also upgrade my sister’s instrument,” a handmade viola, made by none other than Jody Summerford.
NVSO invites young string players to join the Symphonettes or Youth Orchestra for the 2013-14 concert season. Rehearsals will begin in September. For information on joining one of the youth performance groups, or the North Valley Symphony Adult Orchestra, email Music Director Kevin Kozacek at conductor@northvalleysymphony.org, or call 623-980-4628.

Cactus Shadows graduates don Falcons uniforms one last time
MARC BUCkHOUTMANAGING EDITOR
Jake Colombo said he and Cameron Ketchen have been baseball teammates ever since they were eight years old.
After helping the Cactus Shadows High School team back to the state tournament during their senior seasons, the pair of 2013 graduates suited up one last time representing the Falcons.
Approximately a month after the two saw their high school careers come to a close in a loss to Peoria’s Liberty High School in the first round of the Division II state tournament they left the West Valley with a much better feeling Sunday night.
The duo, who were selected to participate in the Arizona Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game, helped the North team to a win in a wild 16-10 game at Surprise Stadium.
“It was an honor to play in a game like this with so many good players,” said Colombo, who started and went 1-for-2, and scored a run, while also reaching base later in the game on catcher’s interference.
Ketchen said despite playing with different teammates and at a professional stadium that there weren’t many nerves.
“We know a lot of the guys here so it wasn’t that big of a deal that way, but it was nice to come out here and get a couple
of knocks,” he said of his 2-for-3 performance. “The third time I tried to swing as hard as I could and struck out, but it was a fun game.”
After getting a single in the fourth inning and coming around to score a run to make the score 3-0 for the North, in what would be a three-run inning that gave the North a 5-0 advantage, Colombo came out of the game. He would reenter in the eighth to pitch in relief.
In the meantime, Ketchen entered the game with a single to right in the fifth. While he was stranded in the fifth, the lefty was part of a huge sixth inning that broke the game open, coming up with another single, stealing second and then scoring during a 10-run inning that made the score 15-0.
The South team rallied to make the score respectable, coming up with eight runs in the seventh.
In the eighth Colombo returned to the game to pitch in relief, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out a batter.
Overall the two said they thought the game was a lot of fun.
In looking back on their time at Cactus Shadows High School, Ketchen said he will remember the friendships as much as anything else.
Looking ahead Colombo and Ketchen will continue to be teammates. Instead of performing for the Falcons they will be members of the Pumas baseball team next season at Paradise Valley Community College.

Annual Bluegrass Festival returns to SedonaSTAFF REPORT
The seventh annual Sedona Bluegrass Festival featuring David Grisman and his Folk Jazz Trio will take place Saturday and Sunday.
The festival, presented by Chamber Music Sedona, also includes the Matt Flinner Trio, Burnett Family Bluegrass, Sonoran Dogs, Titan Valley Warheads, Muskellunge Bluegrass and Pick & Holler.
Grisman will make his Sedona debut on Sunday as he headlines the event, creek side at Los Abrigados Resort.
“We’re delighted to bring one of acoustic music’s most important artists to our festival together with six additional bands this year,” said Festival director Bert Harclerode. “With past performers including Richard Greene, Tim O’Brien, Psychograss and its quintet of quintessential musicians, Trischka Territory, the Claire Lynch Band and others, David and his FolkJazz Trio was a natural for this our seventh festival – a sort of intimate chamber grass program.”
For more than 50 years, Grisman, a mandolinist/composer has been busy creating an eclectic style of music blending Klezmer, jazz, gypsy and bluegrass and more into an amalgamation known to music lovers as “dawg” music. Grisman’s vision in the acoustic string world has inspired a whole new genre of acoustic string instrumental music while creating a unique niche for himself in the world of contemporary music.
After recording for several major and independent labels, Grisman founded his own company, Acoustic Disc, which he runs from his studio in northern California. After launching the label in 1990, David entered the most prolific period of his distinguished career, producing over 50 critically acclaimed recordings of acoustic music (five of which have been nominated for Grammy Awards).
The David Grisman FolkJazz trio includes guitarist Jim Hurst and Sam Grisman on bass. David Grisman first met and played with guitarist/vocalist extraordinaire Jim Hurst a decade ago at the “Bluegrass at the Beach” camp in Oregon. Sam Grisman has been a full-time member of the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience since 2005, and is also the bassist for The Deadly Gentlemen.
The weekend gets under way early with a Bluegrass barbecue on Thursday, free bluegrass in the galleries on Friday, and a free bluegrass workshop from 10 – 11:30 a.m., Saturday morning before the festival concert. The workshop, which will take place at Keep Sedona Beautiful, 360 Brewer Road will include guitarists, fiddlers, mandolinists, singers, bassists and other acoustic instrumentalists. The first forty to sign up will receive a $5 discount coupon for the Saturday Festival concert.
For tickets, food packages, band line-up, parking, and other information, visit SedonaBluegrassFestival.com or call 928-204-2415.

More water required for summer temps
It’s no secret that the three-digit temperatures have blessed our lovely desert abode. After
living in Arizona f o r a l m o s t 14 years, I have come to k n o w the secret to sur-v i v i n g a n d enjoying
t h i s desert living. Drink water — constantly!
When we moved to Scotts-dale in 1999, it was fall, so the temperatures weren’t bad at all. I do recall, however, that in the summer of 2000, we had some 114-121 temps that seemed to linger for quite a while. It was a difficult time. Although I loved the “dry” heat, I remember every time I went out to run an errand, grocery shopping, etc., and came back home, my face was red as a beet. I soon started carrying water bottles with me
everywhere, and “presto,” no more red face.
As a refresher from elementary school science, here are some interesting facts about water:
1. On Earth, water is the only natural substance found in liquids, solids, and gas.
2. Water is “universally solvent” because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Wherever water goes, either through the ground or through our bodies, it carries with it valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.
3. Water’s surface tension (cohesion) allows it to metabolize and carry carbohydrates and proteins throughout the blood system and on to every tissue and cell in the body. In addition, it flushes out harmful toxins. Water is our life-giving source, composed of oxygen and hydrogen.
Our health and our lives depend on water. Without it we could not function or survive. To stay healthy, we need to

pure entertainment of getting lost for 120 minutes. This could be the definition of a summer blockbuster film, though there are many that far exceed just mindless action and stylistic flash. Though some may frown
on these kinds of films there is definitely a market for them. Fast and Furious 6 lives in this realm, mostly entertaining throughout, but after it’s over you might second-guess your immediate judgment.
The film begins with franchise figures Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) racing through an

Cave Creek seats new council

SARA VANNUCCISPECIAl FOR
THE FOOTHIllS FOCUSThe confirmation of Cave Creek’s
town council election results took place in a May 28th meeting in the Cave Creek Town Chambers.
The meeting was necessary to confirm the election count by the old council, and confirm the identity of the new council, which will serve a 3.5 year term. The result was the confirmation of Michael Durkin, Reggie Monachino, Adam Trenk, Charlie Spitzer and incumbent, Tom McGuire.
Each newly certified candidate thanked the current council for their courtesy in past differences of opinion, and vowed to provide a similar respectful forum for any remarks from the past councilmen and their supporting citizens. The previous council members expressed the same wishes for a non-contentious and more respectful dialogue going forward.
As each individual new candidate - councilman spoke of these hopes, they also expressed their belief that the voters had seated them because there was a strong feeling that change was necessary. It was also expressed that part of that
change had to come from a freedom to explore how the town would be managed henceforth. As a consequence, each new councilman requested, separately, that Mayor Vincent Francia place on the next meeting agenda that a review would be made of Town Manager Usama Abujbarah’s contract.
“The citizens of Cave Creek have replaced fully two thirds of their town council,” Durkin said. “Clearly they want change. This request was made clear to me in the many phone calls I made during the campaign”.
After describing his careful study of the town code regarding the placement of agenda items for change, he stated that Francia had assured him he has never and never would block a member of council from placing an item on the agenda.
He concluded in the interest of open government and transparency, he wanted to announce the items that he intended to place on the Council’s agenda in pursuit of “what I feel the citizens of Cave Creek want.”

SPECIAl FOR THE FOOTHIllS FOCUS
To say that T.C. Thorstenson’s parcel in the Town Core of Cave Creek has been through a lot is an understatement. An odd shape positioned between two contrasting worlds of noisy bars versus quiet mountain homesteads, this parcel has generated a string of litigations and upheaval in the town of 5,000 residents.
Over the years, multiple attempts have been tried for rezoning, none of which have been deemed the right fit for either adjacent residents, nor a fit for any appropriate residential uses.
The town has been in virtually perpetual battle, failing to agree on how to find some use that would have the acceptable balance of public noise, street traffic and dust, outdoor music, and endless car doors slamming late into the night.
The most recent 2010 attempt at rezoning was to create a “Western Cultural Center” that would have undefined western activities. The applicant (Thorstenson) confirmed that the current use was “private riding”. The new concept was a great fit for the restaurants and other recreational facilities that line Cave Creek Road. Unfortunately, it was not a good fit for the Black Mountain Shadows homes and other residences that pepper the sides of Black Mountain and abut Galloway Wash.
These homes had recently endured the construction of Stagecoach Village a short distance down the road.
Residents were chided for their public outcry as being uncaring for the financial health of the town, but the residents were left with oversized mezzanines that danced around height requirements. The result was an Western theme center that now stands almost empty, thanks to the recession of 2008 to 2013.
So now the same residents…the ones that stayed….again face the combined cry of Cave Creek’s seemingly unending need for increased tax dollars, and the portrayal by some interests in town of a violation of the owner’s property rights.
This time no attempt is being made to finesse the citizens with graceful construction of western structures, or homes for merchants and shops. This time the proposed use is a trailer park that would house seasonal visitors, hauling large animal trailers, filled with large animals. Horses and cattle for recreational purposes, with all the smells and noise and flies which are unavoidable with said animals.
Cave Creek loves its horses and cattle. And the people that love them the most are encouraged to live out in the rural areas of Cave Creek, with pristine skies where horses can actually be exercised.
Questions have arisen about the manipulation of legitimate and sensible zoning distinctions, created for safety, creation of clustered similar property
uses, and the quiet enjoyment of the citizens who left the cities for mountain views and quiet nights where they can sleep with their windows open. To greatly oversimplify, zoning is divided into residential versus commercial, with many variations in each of those main types. In Arizona, the default zoning of a property is considered residential. It can become something else only with the intervention of legal proceedings which step up uses to something producing money or products, generally.
The Special Use Permit ( an SUP), a legal creature that is an amalgam of residential and Commercial characteristics and rights was created for the odd property that would benefit from limited commercial uses, with no reduction of enjoyment of neighbor’s rights. Typically, it might be a small business with a residence, or a use that is grandfathered by previous usage (for instance, pre-annexation) or which provides a desired community service, like a church. Special Use Permits are normally designed with a self-destruction button—the owner must apply for renewal at a stated period.
Next week’s edition will take a closer look at the Special Use permit while the following week’s edition will include remarks of both neighbors and other merchants. The next Planning Commission hearing is set for the end of the month.

They included: “1. A citizen’s initiative
to bring to fruition the development and capital improvement plan I mentioned during my campaign and began writing after the Primary,
2. The creation of a Chief Financial Officer reporting directly to Town Council
3. I have concluded that the vision the people have for our
town is not supported by the Town Manager, and I will call for a vote of confidence of the Town Manager by the Council”.
Similarly, Trenk (elected in the Primary) requested Francia place an agenda item at the next council meeting, after requesting that Francia waive the full seven day agenda deadline, “considering the agenda for said meeting was only just released today, one day short of the requisite seven day posting period due to
yesterday’s holiday”.He continued with a reading
of Proposed Agenda Item A:“Council discussion and
possible action regarding the employment, compensation, benefits, promotion, demotion, dismissal, termination and/or resignation of the Town Manager.” Additionally, he recited the possible executive session notice language for the public.
Monachino expressed his support of the request, and
extended his request for this item to be considered also.
Switzer expressed his support and his appreciation of continued collegiality.
Thereafter, Francia ex-pressed his thanks to his current Council.
The Swearing In: On Monday a considerably larger audience, including spouses of councilmen, showed for a meeting which saw consideration of the Town Manager’s contract delayed until a Special Meeting, which will take place on June 10.
While the Mayor encouraged all guests to share their good wishes, some members of the public were not content to extend positive hopes for the future, and one speaker warned that if there was evidence of self-benefit by council members, those persons would face recalls.
Otherwise, speakers were cordial. Veteran former councilman Gil Lopez recited some of the changes since he took office in 1999, when the current Town Manager moved from Town Planner to Town Manager. He concluded his summary by asking how the water company purchases increased from $3 million to $19 million at the conclusion.
Resident Kerry Smith shared wishes for a fresh start, saying that governance is difficult, and required a willingness to work hard, past and future.
Restaurant owner Larry Wendt provided the humor. Referring to possible enhancements to the Noise
Ordinance, he suggested that “Adding more restrictions (to the noise ordinance) was akin to adding more gun control in Chicago. He then reflected on the improvements for the merchants from town services of water and sewer, and that he approved what the town had done in spite of his $3,000 monthly water bill, $9,000 sewer bill, and $30,000 per month sales tax. He said he supports the new council 100 percent.
Resident Gerry Freeman said, “you’ve waged a vigorous campaign, but the campaigning is over, the voters have spoken, and now the hard work begins. Serving on the Council of Cave Creek is not an easy task. I support this council and applaud your efforts as unpaid hard working volunteers to do what is best for the citizens of Cave Creek.”
Former Councilwoman Grace Meeth spoke, supporting the return to a Council-managed form of government.
CPA Larry Warfield expressed his thanks for the service of the council members in the past, and future, and offered his assistance.
Former Councilman Terry Smith expressed his support of the excellent town staff employees.
Finally, the entire council, including the Mayor, were sworn in for the next 3.5 years.
The new council elected Adam Trenk as new Vice-Mayor, with all members approving the choice.

continually replenish our supply. It is important to keep the flow of water going, as we lose it daily through our breath, perspiration, urine, and bowel movements. We can do that by consuming beverages and foods with a high water content and, most of all, by consuming more water.
So how much water does the average adult need daily? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is about 13 cups of beverages a day. The AI for women is about nine cups a day. Although a variety of beverages contain a certain amount of water, I recommend pure, fresh water, to cut back on unnecessary calories, sugars, dyes, additives, and so forth.
So a general rule of thumb
to keep in mind is for adults to drink eight, eight-ounce cups a day, and for children to drink six to eight, eight-ounce cups a day. If you’re not used to drinking that much water, take it slow and work your way up to a healthy amount that suits you based on your size, activity level, and excretion.
Try replacing one or two sodas or iced-teas a day with water and gradually increase the count. You can also add cucumber or lemon slices to your water to make it a bit more tasty and appealing.
Now, since we live in the desert with triple digits, it is a wise idea to increase your water intake daily during the hot summer months. The kids are out of school and running around and playing hard, and you’re sweating extra just keeping up with them. Another way to ensure adequate water
intake is to create a “hydration station” at home for the entire family. Keep cut melons, grapes, berries, and apples handy in a designated place in the fridge, along with cool water that is ready to grab and go.

far from the classified “home”. Unexpectedly Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), brought back from the last film, delivers surprising news to Dom. Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), presumed dead, is alive and working for a military mobile terrorist unit. Dom organizes his team and heads to Europe to bring Letty back to the family.
The familiar ensemble cast works well together combining comedic banter and tough guy sentiments with ease, however mostly holding the weak and unsurprising script together. The setting is different, the bad guy (Luke Evans) is tougher, and most notably the action is far more outlandish. Not only are the rules that govern reality bent to extremes, it becomes a groaning distraction at times.
But honestly, if you are coming to the sixth installment of a franchise, you probably already know what you’re getting into. If you keep its unbelievable nature in the forefront, this is a fun film.
These scenes are well organized and adrenaline fueled by director Justin Lin who continues to outdo himself in the grandiose action design realm. Though the acting isn’t spectacular, mostly due to
forced emotional content, the cast still has great chemistry with one another. If it weren’t for the interaction of the characters there would be more issues with the pacing. The narrative, which is already struggling at keeping the ideas fresh, offers a few touches of making the franchise work together cohesively; even including the third misnomer Tokyo Drift.
Most aren’t going into Fast and Furious 6 with high intentions of a thought provoking script, and the filmmakers understand that. Even with the glaring disregard to the viewer’s common sense, director Justin Lin is able to keep the adrenaline-fueled action primary.
If you can expel the realms of physics for a few hours, Fast and Furious 6 is an enjoyable ride even if the sentiment is short lived.

Politicians need alliesThe late Rep. Morris K. “Mo”
Udall, D-Ariz., a gentle giant with laughter in his soul and steel in his spine, was the runner-up for the Democratic Party
pres ident ia l nom i n a t io n in 1976.
As an admirer and c a m p a i g n worker for “Mo” Udall in that race,
I was able to observe that, because of his unwavering, self-deprecating humor, Udall was never able to convince himself — unlike basically every other presidential candidate can — that the very survival of the Western World depended upon his winning the White House. That was just one of the reasons so many of the reporters who covered Udall personally liked him so much.
The great majority of presidential nominees, without ever publicly voicing the words, would probably agree with what Woodrow Wilson, a lifelong Calvinist, announced on the eve of his own inauguration: “God ordained that I should be the next president of the United States.”
That Mo Udall knew himself and understood leadership was clear from his wise advice about the serious business of picking a president. “Beware,” he warned, “of the presidential candidate who has no friends his own age and confidants who can tell him to go to hell.” Udall undoubtedly had in mind the Democrat who defeated him in 1976, Jimmy Carter, a man without contemporary friends able to tell him bluntly when he was really fouling up. But Udall’s warning is just as seriously true today and for 2016. To be fair, Carter did have in Hamilton Jordan, Jody Powell and Jerry Rafshoon, talented political operatives, but all were staff and a generation younger than their boss.
What brought this to mind was a letter from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library I read that was written on Oct. 8, 1960 — in the heat of a presidential campaign — to vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson by James H.
Rowe Jr., a close friend of LBJ’s and someone who had worked closely in the White House with FDR.
Teddy White, the poet-laureate of 20th century U.S. presidential campaigns, wrote accurately that Rowe was one of “that rare strain of men who love American politics without profiting from it.”
Rowe wrote to Lyndon Johnson, who was going to be either the next vice president or the returning Senate majority leader, about the Texan’s mistreatment of his campaign staff. “I have not seen you pay one compliment, thank one person,” he wrote. “I have seen you do nothing but yell at them. ... Maybe you do not know it — I do — the morale of your staff is awful. They are in tears, all of them, they are beginning to dislike you intensely. They cannot do anything right, they don’t dare make a decision about where to hang your clothes even, and they bend their heads and wait for the blows to fall — like obdurate mules who know the blow is coming.”
Rowe then tells Johnson, “It makes me so goddamn mad at you, I’d like to sock you in the jaw.” After urging the candidate to “one day a week, go up and down that plane and tell George Reedy and Bill Moyers and the stenographers ... that you appreciate what they are doing for you,” Rowe takes off the gloves. “I have a feeling that at present you are caught between vanity ... and a curious lack of self-confidence about your judgment of men.” The letter concludes: “This is probably the end of an old friendship. But somebody has to say these things. And I will say one more thing I didn’t mean to say — lay off that booze.”
It is a tribute to Rowe that he cared enough to be so candid with his powerful, old friend and a tribute to LBJ that Rowe would continue as his trusted confidant.
President Barack Obama is regularly told by opponents, at least some of whom despise him, to “go to hell” and worse. But does this president have any friends like Jim Rowe from whom he solicits and welcomes that level of brutal honesty? Let’s hope.

Health care act is thin on substance Earlier we discussed the
Affordable Care Act’s new benefits, financial incentives and pressures on employers and workers to coerce their workers into better medical self-improvement. But perversely, in many states, the approved Exchange health insurance plans to be offered online this Fall will not require employers to pay for weight loss treatment.
The issue that drives this result is a balancing of keeping the new insurance plans affordable for the folks who haven’t had coverage for a while…often never covered in their adult lives. Many will purchase their new health plans with subsidies for the low income enrollees. Subsidies won’t cover the full cost in most cases, so states are trying to offer lower coverage content, knowing that at least there will be coverage for basic needs like exams, inoculations, births and similar basic medical needs.
The result will be the deprivation of serious weight-
loss help that is priced outside the ballpark. The typical quick help solution is bariatric surgery, where the stomach is restricted to a size where the patient can’t eat as much. The intestines are rerouted to delay digestion (“bypass”), and much of the food eaten by the patient is bypassed and not going to be absorbed. This surgery received major attention when Governor Chris Christie elected this recently. The results not only bypass calories, but provide a substantial reduction in high blood pressure and sleeping problems. Medications can be eliminated quickly.
Instead, for those states who will not offer this coverage in the new insurance plans, doctors will end up continuing to treat the common byproducts of obesity: diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and heart disease. In essence they will treat the symptoms through an entire lifetime without opting for the permanent cure through surgery. The costs of these
treatments and medication will greatly exceed the cost of the surgery overall, currently $45,000 average nationally.
Roughly one of every three adults is now obese. Particularly affected are the workers with entry level jobs like cashiers, cleaning and bottom level construction workers. A primary goal of the Affordable Care Plan was to reduce the cost of healthcare nationally by insuring basic behavioral redirection – targeting smoking, obesity, inactivity, as the underlying causes of an accumulating cluster of illnesses. While basic coverage for those who are uninsured now is important, for these patients it is a Band-Aid that neither helps the patient make life improvements, nor lowers the overall medical expense borne by federal and local governments.
It kicks the can down the road, adding more to worry as so many intensely unhealthy patients approach Medicare.
