NEW RIVER – The patio at the Roadrunner Bar and Saloon in New River gathered a small crowd of people for an unusual send-off celebration on the night of Jan. 15. After selling his business and nearly everything he owns, Robert Ham-mond, whose earthly possessions now fit in a large pack on his back, was set to embark on a 3,000-mile solo journey from New River, Ariz., to Seattle, Wash., to raise awareness for depression and anxiety, while also raising funds for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. Having suffered from severe anxi-ety and depression as far back as he can remember, New River resident Hammond, 58, hit rock bottom last summer and left town in his Jeep seeking a solution. “I went driving about 15,000 miles just trying to figure out how to kill myself and not bum out my family,” Hammond said. “Because that’s the main thing is my family.” Thankfully for his family, Ham-
mond’s plans changed while he laid watching television in a Ro-swell, New Mexico, hotel room. “I saw that Robin Williams had committed suicide,” Hammond said. “And then they started talk-ing about his daughter Zelda and his son, and I was thinking ‘How could he do that?’” Hammond decided then and there that suicide was not an op-tion. “I came back home but I was just a mess,” Hammond said. “I walked into my place, fell on the floor and just started bawling.” Hammond is not alone. Accord-ing to its 2012 study, the Sub-stance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that an estimated 16 million adults aged 18 or older experienced one or more major depressive episodes in the past year (http://www.samhsa.gov/).
ANTHEM – Since Octo-ber 2013, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has been under court monitoring over profiling and detention practices. A community meeting was held in Anthem on Jan. 14 to discuss how local resi-dents feel about MCSO practices. Since that Jan. 14 meet-ing, U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow has announced that he will be overseeing civil contempt of court proceedings against Arpaio due to lack of compliance with the judge’s orders. A mini-trial is planned for April. Community members and government representatives, including Sheriff Joe Arpaio (right),
gathered in Anthem on Jan. 14 to confer on MCSO policies. Continued on on pg. 3

“I’m finding out a lot of people are af-fected with it,” Hammond said. “I mean almost everybody has a family member or uncle or aunt or someone.” As a sufferer himself, Hammond thinks there needs to be better solutions than prescription medications, which in his opinion only “mask” the symptoms. Whether or not people suffering from anxiety and depression are prescribed medication, they may follow in Ham-mond’s shoes and resort to other forms of relief, including substance abuse. “I did it with alcohol and drugs for a long time,” Hammond said. “That was horrible.” Hammond’s longtime friend, Kevin Boterman hated to see Hammond suf-fering, and this past summer decided to try an intervention. “I’ve known Rob in his ups and his downs and his highs and his lows,” Bo-terman said, and in an effort to inspire Hammond in the midst of his depres-sion, Boterman introduced him to Tony Robbins’ latest book, “Money: Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom.” “Why don’t you listen to this? That’ll inspire you,” Hammond said. After listening to Robbin’s book and also learning about the growing number of crowdfunded projects to raise awareness for different causes, Hammond decidedhe was ready for the challenge. And what better inspiration than not one, but two major family milestones. “My goal is to be in Seattle for my daughter’s wedding on August 6th,” said Hammond. “And my other daugh-ter is having her third grandchild.” “I’m so excited I don’t wait to fly up,” Hammond said with a smile. “I’m going to start walking there.” While Hammond’s sense of humor is evident, he is serious about his journey. In fact, he sold everything in order to self-fund the journey, which will be documented at his blog, Trekscapades.com. At stops along the way, he plans to speak about hiking gear and equip-ment, and his personal experience with depression. Hammond also seeks to raise awareness for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which helps firefighters and their families during times of tragedy and struggle. Local businesses have also pitched in, including Lanny Nelson, owner of PostNet in Anthem, who’s handling Hammond’s mail. “I told him, ‘I’ll forward your mail to you free of charge wherever you end up,’” Nelson said. He will also keep Hammond’s mailbox open “even when it expires.” Wildland Firefighter Foundation di-rector, Burk Minor, is also helping out.
“I was moved enough to send him some of our garments, a beanie with our logo on it, sweatshirts and things like that,” Minor said. “However I can support him through his journey I’m going to.” On his journey from New River to Seattle, Hammond will initially head to Buckeye, Gila Bend, and then take a trail along the Gila River to Yuma. From there he will follow the Pacific Crest Trail to northern California and eventually end up near Seattle, Wash-ington. Freeze-dried food, water, and com-fortable shoes are a must, but what else does one do to prepare for such an expedition? ““Well, watch a lot of YouTube,” Hammond said. People interested in learning more about Hammond’s 3,000-mile journey may follow his blog at Trekscapades.com where they may also make a dona-tion to the Wildland Firefighter Foun-dation.

Have you been to Cleveland lately? No, I didn’t think so. After all, it is not exactly a tourist destination, especially in winter. I went back to check on my mother and see my family. I was immediately taken in by just how hardy folks are who live in the Midwest. They do not obsess about weather, snow, sleet, or rain. Nothing seems to stop them from having a good time and they seem positively unboth-ered by long, dreary days. But there are some things they obsess over, which is mainly their sports teams. How else could they sit in freezing cold bleachers to watch a football game? They are crazy! When it comes to basketball and the Cavaliers, nothing is stranger than the love-hate (now mostly love) relationship that Cleveland has with LeBron James. He left his home-team in the lurch, announcing it on national television (very disre-spectful) in 2010 and grown men cried. Then he came back after four seasons with the Miami Heat and the town folks went giddy. Ticket sales skyrocketed (most expensive place to see a NBA game is in Cleveland) and everyone kissed and made up. LeBron had a party, gave bicycles to needy kids and made amends to Cleveland for ever leaving in the first place. What I am about to say I can do so from the safety of my home in Arizona, because if I wrote this in Cleveland I might receive death-threats. Lebron James stinks! He left the team like a straying husband and gave the best years of his life to a sultry Miami franchise. Then
he wanted to “come home” so he talked about how he “never really left” and how much he “missed” his roots. Blah, blah, blah. He left and came back at the age of thirty. Too old if you ask me! Oh, and the Cavaliers are doing lousy. And James is on the injured list. Oh, sur-prise, surprise, Lebron James is rumored to be leaving Cleveland (his hometown love) AGAIN. Then there is a certain money-hungry, arrogant and semi-talented quarterback named Johnny Manziel. Cleveland Browns fans are a tough group and have had “enough” of the college star who was going to put the Browns into the play-offs. Well, Johnny realized what many young men learn when they graduate from college and get into the big league. It is harder out there in the real world. When you are throwing a ball, the receiver is not standing in one spot waiting for you. He is running with big guys chas-ing him and you are supposed to throw the ball to where the receiver will be when the ball lands. So the hard-partying, beer guzzling quarterback has said he needs to “take his job more seri-ously.” Gee, it seems there are twelve million (dollars) reasons to shape up! The lesson here? Throwing a truckload of money at someone does not make them achieve greatness or become more talented (e.g., Kim Kar-dashian). Money will not make someone throw better, faster or farther! Maybe the NFL should only reward performance, not potential. Clevelanders like to do things. Ice fishing? Now that sounds like fun. Become a polar bear?
Oh sure, just run half naked into Lake Erie. Going to the theater? Who cares if it is cold and windy. I went to see “I’m Dreaming of A White Christmas” with my brother at Playhouse Square and two thou-sand people showed up! Ladies wearing high heels walking on slippery streets and men in over-coats (something we don’t see much in Arizona) were not going to let a little weather slow them down. Parking garages were full and restaurants were packed. Bad weather? Who cares? That’s a Midwest attitude. Folks in the Midwest also keep snow shovels handy and snow tires on their vehicles, plus snow blowers are a must-have. They decorate their houses for Christ-mas, stringing lights on snowy roofs and can be seen having a festive time putting up all sorts of “outdoor” Holiday embel-lishments. This is not something a true Arizonan (or someone who has lived here for a while) can understand. We are used to sunshine and brace ourselves for the inevitable storms that come our way. We like to stay inside and cozy while the storm passes, not brave the elements to put lights on a tree. One observation I made while I was back in Cleveland is that most homes have basements. I had forgotten about those dark, dank, frightening places with steep steps. People like to put their washing machines down there, or maybe their freezers. Some folks like to make them into “recreation rooms,” which give me the creeps. They are cavernous, cold, windowless dungeons! Unsafe because spi-ders live there, and I have seen plenty of movies about people getting locked in the basement. So glad, we Arizonans are done with cellars! There are other things about Cleveland that reminded me how truly blessed we are to have big windows (no basements) and about 325 sunny days a year. But storm clouds are gathering so I better get the horses in the barn, button up the house, stoke the fire and get ready for a long winter’s night. Or I could have a “Midwest attitude” and go sledding. Happily, in Arizona, common sense prevails. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local realtor who lives in the Anthem area. Have a story or a comment?

“When we give our respect to other living things, they re-spond by giving their respect to us.” – Arapaho proverb. This is the spirit inspiring local jewelry artist Jan Stiles in creating her elegantly subtle designs. A long way from her child-hood roots in the suburbs of Detroit, Jan connected with nature during her summer visit to her grandparents’ cottage in northern Michigan. Captivated by the rhythms of the seasons, Jan grew up keenly observant
of nature’s patterns. Encour-aged by the first “designing women,” her mother and pater-nal grandmother, Jan learned to construct her own wardrobe by the time she was in middle school and tailored a suit for her father by college. The “pieces” of life came together for her in cooking as well. Guided by her grandmother, Jan learned the essential ele-ments of baking pies, making jams, and properly preparing the fish her brothers caught during the long summer days. Jan first enrolled in interior
and clothing design in col-lege. She soon switched to architecture, earning a BS in Architecture from the Univer-sity of Michigan. Loving the challenges of creating on a larger platform, Jan worked in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields for 15 years. By the time her children came along, she was weary of the long hours and the constant travel that took her away from her family. The decision was made to set aside the architec-tural business world and move into academia. By this time, Jan had become a serious art collec-tor, and her eye for fine jewelry was reflected in her years of experience in design. Jan’s parents moved to Tucson in 1986 to enjoy retire-ment free of gray skies and snow drifts. In 1987, Jan and her family followed, moving to Phoenix. The move to the Southwest would prove to be a new chapter in family creativ-ity. Jan and her mom renewed their interest in jewelry design frequenting gem shows. Jan took classes from local artist Jen Hanscom at CreativeU, learn-ing to work with sterling silver. This opened a new phase in her jewelry design. Asked what inspires her work, Jan will tell you, “I enjoy
the colors and feel of raw semi-precious stones as well as pearls. I look for unique items when traveling to include in my pieces.” Recently, Jan began to accent her dining room table with “table jewelry,” which has proven to be a huge hit. Jan displays and sells her during a number of events in the state: Jewels Fine Artfest in Tucson, the Artisan Market in Scottsdale, including Canal Convergence, the Scottsdale Italian Festival, the Sunnyslope ArtWalk, Litchfield Christmas in the Park, and others. Jan Stiles gives back with her art. Ten percent of every sale
goes to the Jamaica Missions Project that goes to support construction projects in rural Jamaica. Jan travels to Jamaica teaching jewelry making to a small group of young ladies in Bonham Spring and is helping them develop a jewelry busi-ness. Jan does solicit donations of money and beading supplies every year to take with her for the girls. To contact Jan about her creations, email her at [email protected].

SelmaDir: Ava DuVerney
Starring: David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo, Tim
Roth, Lorraine Tous-saint, Martin Sheen, Tom
Wilkinson, Oprah Win-frey, Alessandro Nivola, Giovanni Ribisi, Wendell Pierce, Common, Keith
Stanfield, and Cuba Gooding Jr. 128 MinutesRated PG-13
Monte’s Rating4.50 out of 5.00
Monte Yazzie Selma, Alabama is the location of the events in director Ava DuVerney’s exceptional and confident film about a small, in the vast continuing struggle, yet significant moment in the civil rights movement. The film cen-ters on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the few months leading up to the 50-mile march from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery, an event that influenced the Voting Rights Act. Deadly violence, political obstruction, and nationally tele-vised media exposure defined the protest. “Selma” limits the scope of events, focusing less on the entirety of achievements ac-complished by Dr. King during his life and instead emphasizing on the actions during a crucial hour in the mission for civil
rights that defined Dr. King’s peaceful, determined character. The film begins just after Dr. King accepts the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Still in the midst of the battle for civil rights Dr. King, played eloquently digni-fied by David Oyelowo, is por-trayed as a respected leader but also a stretched husband, joking friend, faith-filled minister, and flawed human being. Whether the quiet moments when doubt weighs heavy on his mind, the intimate moments when the struggles of his fame and ambi-tion create stress in his mar-riage, or the crowded moments when his overwhelming poise bolsters every strategic step, Ms. DuVerney paints a portrait of a
multifaceted man. Along with the great narrative portrayal of Dr. King, the film excellently handles the chal-lenges of historically depict-ing the boiling pot sentiments of the time. This is especially accomplished, considering the events are so recently remem-bered. Building in the tension, anger, and despair that existed within the societal and political divisions could potentially cause the film to lose the emotional stronghold; however, that doesn’t happen here. Ms. DuVerney boldly guides these aspects with precision and expertise. “Selma” is about Dr. King, but it is equally about the civil rights movement. Even though the
film only displays a few months during the 1960s in the lives of directly and indirectly influential individuals within the move-ment, there is still a palpable connection to the lives and struggles of the past and pres-ent. It’s impossible to ignore the correlation between the themes in “Selma” and current events involving race issues in America. It was complicated, concern-ing, and divisive then, just as it is now. Ms. DuVerney doesn’t need to reprimand or forcefully imply; instead, the events in their succinct and straightfor-ward depiction are enough to fuel the emotional connection for the viewer. It is simply ac-complished filmmaking.
“Selma” crafts a compelling portrait of Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-ther King Jr. as a man conflicted and motivated by the changes occurring from his leadership. Moreso, Ms. DuVernay displays one of the best portrayals of the civil rights movement through political structures and the democracy of the people that helped promote change. Even in the midst of racially charged events prompting violent debates, “Selma” displays the brutality found in history but it also exhibits the overwhelming presence of peace promoted by Dr. King and the importance of the lives of all people of every race both immediate and for future populations.

Court monitoring of MCSO stems from a ruling made by Judge Snow, who heard the case Ortega Melendres, et al. v. Ar-paio, et al. Snow determined that MCSO had engaged in racial profiling and that new practices and policies needed to be implemented. He chose former New York police chief Robert Warshaw to oversee MCSO compliance monitoring. “How do you feel about police ser-vice?” Raul Martinez, who is part of the court-ordered monitoring team, asked of the Anthem meeting attendees. He described the purpose of the meeting as “to hear from you.” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio attended the Anthem meeting. He briefly addressed the audience, thanking ev-eryone for attending. He referred to the meeting as a form of “outreach program” and noted that he likes attending these kinds of community forums, as he “likes getting to the people.” MCSO Deputy Chief Dave Trombi also spoke at the meeting, emphasizing, “We need you” and asking for community input. He referenced a billboard he’d seen driving in Phoenix that says, “‘Coins are made of metal because change is hard.It didn’t say change is impossible,” Trombi said. He recounted a personal story about police behavior he had encountered while in another state, saying that there should not be an “us vs. them mentality” and that mindset needs to change. He asked for the community to share their feelings on “what’s being done right and what’s
being done wrong.” As part of the court order, court monitor officials are holding community meetings throughout Maricopa County to ask residents how they feel about MCSO and to keep residents informed on ongoing changes and updates. Each of the MCSO’s seven districts will have one meeting per year, as per the court order. The American Civil Liberties Union has been closely involved with the case, and representatives publicized and attended the Anthem meeting. Martinez referred to the court order, noting that there were 59 pages of re-quirements in it for MCSO, and that the purpose was to “implement best practic-es.” Court officials are required to moni-tor MCSO’s compliance with the order and to ensure that the order is complied with, in that it “prohibits discriminatory and racial profiling” and “prohibits law enforcement acting on race or ethnicity.”“No police action should be based on how you look – it should be based on what you do,” Martinez emphasized. He added that the system tracks behaviors of police officers and works as a tool to get officers help if needed and is not a puni-tive measure. Martinez described the officers of court as “umpires” who work on audits, reports, and assessments. Through their observations, the monitors can keep the public informed and let the sheriff and the commanders of units know if some practices need to be examined, even if the order does not specifically deal with those issues. Martinez gave a brief summary of the court monitors’ first report on MCSO. MCSO was in full compliance with 13 percent of the court order. Martinez called the low compliance rate “not abnormal for a police department when they’re first going through this process.” He noted that the department has to “create processes, create training, and then implement the training.” The second and most recent compli-
ance report details that MCSO was in full compliance with 16 percent of the court order requirements. Martinez again noted that this low number was not abnormal and that departments “have to create policies before train-ing.” After summarizing the reports, Mar-tinez noted that ultimately the com-munity is the judge of how changes are progressing. “You’re our bosses – you’re the ones who tell us if you’re happy or unhap-py,” Martinez said. Audience members were invited to give comments in the meeting. Several members said they felt racial profil-ing was still going on. Martinez noted that the judge involved in the case is “very involved” and will be watching the progression of MCSO’s compli-ance rate. Current judicial proceedings
home security without light pollution
for civil contempt illustrate the judge’s continued involvement; updates on that case will be provided as they become available. Martinez noted how many good police officers the court monitor team has encountered, describing many of them as “looking forward to better policies and better equipment.” One of the changes that will be implemented is that every MCSO officer will be wear-ing a recording device. The court monitors “try to be as fair and impartial as we can be,” Martinez said. He called “public trust” the “key thing” and referenced the Constitution, noting that it applies to everyone. “It doesn't matter what you look like, what music you play, how long your hair is, or the color of your skin,” he emphasized.

Pets of the Week: Turbo and Kelvin
Meet the Eviction Cats! These two handsome boys were abandoned and left behind in the home they once occupied with their family. The Process Server went into to the vacant home to change the locks and was greeted at the door by these little furballs. Thankfully she knew to call Anthem Pets to rescue these babies. Turbo is a total lover. He reaches up to kiss your nose and then rolls on his back for you to reciprocate with belly rubs. If his loud purr didn’t give him away, you’d think he was a small dog! Turbo loves to snuggle up next to his brother Kelvin when its naptime. You should see how close these brothers are to each other – it’s truly heartwarming. Turbo is approxi-mately 1-2 years old, just a kid! He’s neu-tered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Kelvin is totally the little brother and follows Turbo’s lead. He is the more shy one of the two but very affectionate and sociable, and also has a roaring motor! Let’s not forget to point out that he’s stun-ningly gorgeous, too! Kelvin is also 1-2 years old, neutered, and microchipped. Ready to meet these babes? Don’t de-lay; call Anthem Pets today at (480) 287-3542 to schedule a meet and greet! Turbo and Kelvin are extremely bonded, so it’s preferred they be adopted together. Once you meet you them, you’ll understand! Anthem Pets is a nonprofit organiza-tion serving lost, found, and abandoned animals in the North Valley since 2005. Operating on donations only, it aims to find forever homes for abandoned animals and return wayward pets to owners. Visit www.anthempets.org to view more adopt-able animals waiting to meet their forever family.
