    Merlin Falcon photographed in

    Desert Hills

    DESERT HILLS Local photographer Jim Simmons photographed a Merlin Falcon in Desert Hills a few weeks ago. This raptor is not especially common in Arizona and only winters here.

    The Merlin Falcon is eating a smaller bird in the photo; these birds of prey subsist mainly on a diet of smaller birds, which they catch in mid-flight.

    After photographing the Merlin Falcon, photographer

    Simmons contacted the Arizona Game and Fish Department to help identify the bird. Simmons also reached out to The Foothills Focus, offering the fascinating photos for printing. He noted that he just happened to notice the Merlin Falcon and was able to photograph it.

    If you have an interesting photo youd like to share, feel free to contact The Foothills Focus at [email protected].

    Arizona Archaeology Societymeeting to focus on Belize caves

    CAVE CREEK Dr. Jaime Awe will be the featured presenter at the next Arizona Archaeology Society Desert Foothills Chapter meeting, happening Feb. 10.

    Awe will present Tales from the Dark Side: Cave Archaeology in Western Belize and its Implications for the Decline of Maya Civilization. In Maya cosmology, few locations were (and are) considered more sacred or ritually charged than caves. Representing portals to the netherworld and places of origin, these dark subterranean sites also served as the abode for important, powerful, and often capricious deities. The Maya further believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors descended to the watery underworld where they could eventually be reborn. Caves were thus places of death and creation. Both the ancient Maya and their descendants visited and visit these sites to conduct rituals.

    Until recently, intensive scientific investigations of cave sites were rare. The Western Belize Regional Cave Project embarked on a multi-year research program designed to ascertain the nature of Maya cave utilization. By combining ethnographic and ethnohistoric information with data from archaeological investigations, this presentation provides

    evidence which suggests that the Maya visited caves in an effort to communicate with particular gods or ancestral spirits and the primary focus of their ritual activities were directed toward sustenance and agricultural fertility, and that intensified cave ritual in the ninth century A.D. was intrinsically related to factors that led to the decline of Maya civilization.

    Dr. Awe was born in San Ignacio Town of the Cayo District in Belize. A graduate of St. Johns Junior College in Belize City, he was awarded a Bachelors Degree with Honours and a Masters Degree in Anthropology at Trent University in Ontario, Canada. In 1992, he completed a Ph.D. in Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology at the University of London, England. In addition to serving

    as a professor of Archaeology at multiple universities, Awe has directed major conservation projects in Belize and has conducted research at many different sites. Dr. Awe now lives in Flagstaff, where he teaches in the Anthropology Department of Northern Arizona University and continues to conduct archaeological investigations in western Belize.

    Everyone is welcome to attend Arizona Archaeology Society Desert Foothills Chapter meetings. Meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.; refreshments are offered prior to the meeting start. Meetings are held at the Foothills Community Foundation, 34250 North 60th Street, in Scottsdale.

    Desert Sun Academy to offer French Immersion

    SCOTTSDALE Desert Sun Academy, one of the schools in Cave Creek Unified School District, will be instituting a French Immersion program, set to begin August 2016.

    Seats for this kindergarten and first grade program are currently open until the cap is reached. This French Immersion program will follow the same model as the Spanish and Chinese Immersion in other CCUSD schools.

    Learning a second language has multiple benefits for students, not only in the language itself, but in the critical thinking skills practiced. French is one of the top languages in the global economy.

    Dual Language Immersion programs follow the AZ Academic Standards but teach 50 percent of the day in the target language and the other 50 percent in English. Results across the U.S. are consistent with what Spanish and Chinese Immersion students experience in CCUSD: students are functioning at grade level or higher in English and are reaching high levels of proficiency in the second language. Some students are going on to add a third language by the time they graduate.

    To find out more about reserving a spot in the French Immersion program, call (480) 575-2900.

    For more information about CCUSD language immersion programs, call Cristina Ladas, CCUSD World Language Programs Coordinator at (480) 518-4289.

    Around the Bluhmin Town

    JUDY BLUHMI won the lottery! (In my

    dreams). I see it all now, flashing before me. I turn on the television and watch excitedly when they call out the winning numbers. Nervously, I look down at my Powerball ticket and then in complete disbelief, I realize I have won 1.5 Billion dollars! I keep staring at the flimsy piece of paper in my shaking hands as I look at the five sets of numbers on Line A that suddenly mean my world has changed forever. From this moment forward my life will be grouped into two distinct chapters.before winning the Powerball and afterwards. This is usually when I wake up.

    Hey, we Americans know how to have fun and maybe a good laugh. With the stock market tanking, why not plop down ten or twenty bucks for the chance of becoming a billionaire? We get nothing from interest in our savings accounts and we continue to roll the dice by putting our hard earned money in the markets, so why not gamble like a fool on a three million to one chance of winning the lottery? It has been said that we have more chances of getting hit by an asteroid than winning. Or a greater chance of getting hit by lightning while swimming and fighting off an alligator. Well, all that could happen!

    We are not supposed to think about what we would do with the money we win till we win it. But I already know that there is a certain horse ranch in Peeples Valley (Hidden Springs Ranch) that I admire every time I drive by it. I think if I won the lottery I would walk up the long driveway, knock on the door and tell the owners (nicely) to start packing. Leave the horses! Name your price! (Hope

    the owners are not reading this). Oh yea, winning could be a blast.

    I do know that handing out million dollar bills (is there such a thing?) to kids and grandkids does not necessarily make for a happy life. I would emulate Bill and Melissa Gates who know how to responsibly give huge amounts of money away

    for worthy causes that matter. I told my husband, Doug, that if I won the lottery we could give 100 million people one hundred

    thousand bucks and end poverty. Of course, he pointed out that my math is off and it is not that easy. Oh, the hassles of becoming a billionaire!

    Some folks who have won the lottery have been pretty stupid! Do not win 10 million bucks and then six months later go out and steal a car because you are bored! Do not hand a friend your winning ticket to go collect the money for you (lawsuit pending)! Never win 15 million and spend it on booze, parties and demolition derby activities! A man in Texas won 31 million and in two years was broke. Sadly, he took his own life when faced with being poor again.

    How is your timing in life? One man won 5 millionthe day after his divorce was finalized. Seems his new ex-wife tried to reconcile. Then she tried to get alimony. When that didnt work she tried to sue the judge for speeding up the divorce date and causing her to lose a large sum of money. Sounds like a sore loser to me. Hey, sudden wealth can bring out the evil in people. One guy (psychotic) in New Jersey hired a hit man to kill his own brother after the brother won 20 million in the lottery. Guess big money can create bigger problems.

    Oh, getting back to my lottery win, I promise to learn from other winners mistakes. I will not go on a spending spree and

    buy fancy cars, toys or houses. Okay, well maybe a few pairs of shoes. And I could never have wild booze parties because I dont have wild friends. And, fortunately, I dont think my brother would try to kill me. Well thats a relief. I could start making a bucket list. You know, maybe take a vacation to Monaco and sip champagne while counting my chips at a casino. Oops, I think that is out of a James Bond movie. Okay, better to call financial guru Dave

    Ramsey and ask him what to do.I could run for President.

    You know, like Donald Trump, become the Judy and happily spout off ways to fix the country and make it great again. Or, I could buy a villa in Italy and take up painting (sounds like a place to dabble in water colors) and learn how to make pasta from scratch. Or maybe an oceanfront mansion in La Jolla is calling my name!

    My girlfriend is an attorney and she said the winner of a billion bucks would have to go into hiding, almost like into the witness protection program, just to keep the masses of scammers away. She said if I won the lottery I would have to move immediately, stop working, change all my phone numbers while figuring out a strategy. She also said wearing a dark wig and sun glasses would not help (my original plan). Hmmmdoesnt sound like much fun after all.

    So, Dear Readers, if this is my last column you know what happened. I won the Powerball and it wasnt just a dream! Or I got hit by an asteroid, struck by lightning and eaten by an alligator. Good luck to all of us. May you have a winning week.

    The Buffalo Chip is a part of Cave Creek and we have never had anything like this [fire] happen before, Peagler said in an email. Thats why I stepped in to help.

    However, before the checks could clear, before the rubble and ashes of The Chip could be swept away, the mud was already flying. Allegations started to surface on social media about the donations being misappropriated, undistributed, and certain employees receiving large amounts of cash to fund vacations and pay off car loans.

    I feel there is a small group of four to five people who are causing unnecessary drama on social media, said Peagler in an email regarding the allegations that employees were not receiving donations.

    There was a week delay in the distribution of funds because of a clerical error in the auction slips gathered, and they needed to wait for the checks and credit card transactions to clear the bank. For a while, the personal donations just kept pouring in and it was hard to even determine an exact total amount donated, according to Peagler.

    How can you know how much to give out when you dont know how much you are going to have in the end? he said.

    Then on Jan. 4, 2016, ABC15 aired a segment about Buffalo Chip employees claiming they

    had not received donations yet, and that there was a big discrepancy between the amount actually distributed and the total amount donated. Pamela Lowry worked for the Buffalo Chip one day a week up until the fire, and says first she was denied assistance, and then she was only given $200.

    We were called greedy, says Lowry in an email interview. When we were only asking what they were spending it on if they werent helping anyone.

    She and other Buffalo Chip employees who are asking to not be named say all the employees were given a $200 check at a meeting on Jan. 6, 2016, which was after the news segment aired, and raised their suspicions further. With the 120 employees Wendt had on the distribution list, that would only be $24,000 that was accounted for. Lowry claims many others were reaching out sharing the same story as her: denied assistance, and then only given a $200 check.

    We just really want the public to demand where their donations went, Lowry said.

    Furthermore, some claim that there were never 120 employees on the payroll ever, and can only count around 80 employees at the time of the fire, according to background sources.

    Larry had kept 40 inactive employees on the payroll, for who knows why, those 40 people also received that $200 check, Lowry asserted. We feel its

    only right to the public to see how they have been spending the money they made everyone believes was for the staff.

    Kevin Southar has been a bartender at the Buffalo Chip for over five years. Over the last two weeks he has been working to help reopen the bar. He says everyone received their fair share of the money donated, although he did not disclose an amount.

    It is a great community, said Southar in an interview. Everyone got helped, I cant describe how good it felt.

    Palma DiPietro is the director of the Foothills Food Bank, and she is the only person with authorization to write checks from the fund, and has been managing it since its inception. She gave The Foothills Focus a copy of the check roster with the names and amounts of every check written upon assurance that our newspaper would keep all employees personal information confidential.

    Currently, the fund has paid 71 employees and dispensed

    just under $42,000 in 59 checks, with about $18,000 left, and more payouts are planned for the upcoming weekend. Larry Wendt has not received any money from this account, according to the check roster.

    We will be dispensing all the funds within the next two weeks, said DiPietro in an interview. We are writing the checks and closing the account next week so we dont need donations. More donations will only confuse the issue on how much everyone receives.

    Although DiPietro is the only person with access to the account, she is writing checks based solely on the instruction of Wendt. Some employees were receiving larger amounts because they were still actively working for the Buffalo Chip during rebuilding, or based on other criteria Wendt created to help with the disbursement of donations.

    It hurts my feelings that a few disgruntled employees ruined something so beautiful,

    said Wendt in an interview. Every single penny has gone to employees.

    Based on the food banks records, the four largest checks written were in amounts ranging from approximately $1,000 to $3,500. Twenty checks were $400 to $999, and the remaining 35 checks were under $400, for a total of $41,307.

    Wendt says that not only has he not taken any money for himself or the business, but that he contributed $11,000 of his own money to the fund, and is no longer drawing salary from the Buffalo Chip.

    The first distribution of $11,000 was decided with criteria in mind that would help those most in need, single parents raising families, he said in an interview.

    Some people were not given the first round of distributed funds, either because they had another job, did not work full time at the Buffalo Chip, or did not participate in fundraiser events. Also, it took time with the arson investigation and reopening process for Wendt to figure out a method to fairly distribute the cash, he says.

    We went above and beyond, said Wendt. I am just so appreciative of my staff and this town, for everything.

    The Buffalo Chip has reopened seven days a week from 10 a.m. to midnight, complete with food, beer, bands, and rodeo.

    The Enclave at Borgata luxury condos scheduled to open in autumn 2016

    SCOTTSDALE Valley

    residents will soon have a

    new choice for luxury living.

    Framing is now underway on all

    three buildings at The Enclave

    at Borgata, located just south

    of Scottsdale Road and Lincoln

    Drive. Residents will be able to

    move in this autumn, and sales

    are underway now.

    Located at the site of the

    former Borgata Shopping

    Center, The Enclave is just steps

    away from restaurants, grocery

    stores, and many boutique shops.

    Phoenix-based company Antera

    Development is developing

    the new condos.

    The Enclaves tagline is Live

    at the intersection of luxury &

    convenience, and that theme

    has been forefront throughout

    the planning for the new condos.

    John Waldron, Enclave media representative, noted that 30 units have already been sold, many by local residents who already live in the area and want to stay in the area but have the ease of shopping and restaurants in walking distance. Waldron noted that The Enclave is ideal for those who want a walk-able lifestyle.

    Unit square footage ranges from 1,500 to 5,400 sq. ft., with multiple floor plans from which to choose. The luxury condominium community includes three buildings, four stories each, with 86 units total. The development will be situated on 4.7 acres. Pricing starts in the mid-700,000s.

    The Enclave will be an all-ages community and will welcome pets. Nate Pile, VP of Antera Development and The Enclave

    at Borgata Project Director, noted that The Enclave will include a 75x25 ft. pet park.

    Pile listed other planned Enclave amenities, including a swimming pool in the courtyard, a 1,500 sq. ft. gym with a yoga room within, and a 1,500 sq. ft. club room with a demonstration kitchen, eating area, bar, TV, sitting area, outside courtyard, barbecue, fireplace, and water feature.

    Pile specified that each unit will include an oversize laundry room and a full kitchen with a large island. Every unit also has a patio.

    Our patios are probably one of the largest in Arizona, Pile described, adding that the ground floor units have almost a backyard, the patios are so large.

    Waldron noted that the Antera Development vision for the luxury community and the Borgata location have shown to be a really great match. He cited the diversity of the area coupled with the residential feel of the community.

    Visit The Enclave at Borgata and learn more about the new community. The Enclave Sales Center, located at 6176 N. Scottsdale Road, is open daily.

    For more information, visit www.EnclaveAtBorgata.com or call 480) 362-5283. Pictured: Construction on The Enclave development.

    movie reviewMONTE YAZZIE

    MOVIE COLUMNISTOn September 11th, 2012

    a group of heavily armed militants from Libya attacked a United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi. The group quickly overwhelmed the compound and set fire to the buildings and later launched mortar rounds at a secret C.I.A. compound that was within a few miles of the first attack. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three Americans were killed in the attacks. This tragic event is the inspiration for director Michael Bays new film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, based from the novel by Mitchell Zuckoff, which includes accounts from the security contractors who were working with the C.I.A. during the attacks, 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi. Michael Bay, a director known for his boisterous, excessive, and overindulgent style, tackles this heroic, chaotic story with less identifying flair than he typically expels, though thats not saying very much considering the directors excessive tendencies. This demonstration displays many of Bays strengths but also his glaring weaknesses; this both helps and hinders 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

    Former Navy Seal Jack Silva (John Krasinski) arrives in the

    heat of Benghazi and is greeted by an old acquaintance Tyrone Rone Woods (James Badge Dale). Jack is the new member to a security team of former elite military operatives tasked with protecting C.I.A. agents hoping to assist in the restructuring of Libya. Benghazi is dangerous, filled with weapon-carrying citizens and roaming militant squads. Jack and his team protect a compound called the Annex and escort C.I.A. operatives to meetings with different influential figures. Things take a turn for the worse when a nearby U.S. diplomatic compound is attacked, forcing the team to take action in order to save lives and stay alive.

    Michael Bay understands how to construct an action film: big explosions over big special effects combined with dynamic photography and breakneck

    editing; it can be difficult to completely register what is going on at times but its also strangely hypnotic, mind-numbingly so. Regardless of how one may feel about these extremes, the director is one of the best at utilizing them. Bay has scaled back these elements within 13 Hours but his distinctive signatures still permeate in many moments. Unfortunately, in one dramatic instant, its

    used in the absolute worst way. Once the build-up ends and the action takes over completely, Bay keeps the tension high and the action quick and frenzied by utilizing a mix of first-person perspective photography, wide angle establishing shots, constant flashes of gun fire, and violence that is rapid and in a few moments graphically rendered.

    With Bay operating with a little more restraint, it offers an opportunity for more character developments to shine through. The introduction allows ample time to get to know these brave men operating in a system that doesnt quite accept or appreciate them. For instance, the director of the C.I.A. compound consistently talks down and berates these mens lifestyle and purpose. Unfortunately, most of the structure avoids the deeper angles, like the enemies these men fight both in the smoky fields and abandoned buildings that surround the compound and those operating on the American side miles away, safe and sound,

    watching the conflict in front of a computer. The film opts for the simplified version of dedicated men doing a dangerous job. The only offering of insight comes when these soldiers are given little moments to communicate with family via video or during down time between gun fights to talk about life away from the battle, but these moments come as secondary filler flashes instead of being purposefully designed. This underutilization of character building lessens the emotional aspects that could have allowed a greater connection to these characters.

    John Krasinski is exceptional here, crafting a character that is professionally focused but also wholly aware and affected by the risk he is taking. James Badge Dale, playing the team leader, and Pablo Schreiber, playing the smart aleck of sorts, are also very good in their roles throughout.

    13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi doesnt tell the most cohesive story, and the characters lack the nuance that would provide them greater emotional connection. However, underneath the excesses of Michael Bays filmmaking style, restrained yet still obviously noticeable here, is a film about heroes and the dedication, responsibility, and self-sacrifice thatdefine their commitment to America. Bay never sways from this fundamental purpose, even ifhis indulgent filmmaking signature sometimes overshadows the spotlight.

    JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMSNORTH VALLEY

    JUSTICE OF THE PEACEA federal law, known as the

    Stolen Valor Act, made it a crime to claim that you received military medals that you did not actually earn. It almost immediately came under attack as being in conflict with the First

    Amendment. One of the main legal issues is: To what extent does the First Amendment protect false statements of fact?

    In 2012, in United States v. Alvarez, the U.S. Supreme Court held that most of the Stolen Valor Act was unconstitutional. In that case, a local politician in California announced, after he had been elected, that he had been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor while serving as a United States Marine. In reality, he had never served in our nations armed forces.

    The Supreme Court stated that the federal law was not necessary to protect the militarys system of awarding medals and that this was different than someone making a false claim to receive some type of veterans benefit. The justices that dissented believed that false statements about military medals deserved no First Amendment protection and that these types of

    statements were different than a debate on military policy, which would receive Constitutional protection.

    The Ninth Circuit recently looked at these issues again. In that case, a Korean War veteran, over 40 years after his honorable discharge, filed a claim for service connected PTSD with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He submitted an altered discharged form in support of his claims. There was also a photograph of him in uniform wearing various medals that he never received, including a Purple Heart and a Silver Star. In addition to being convicted of charges in connection with the false claims, he was also convicted of wearing unauthorized military

    medals in violation of th Stolen Valor Act.

    On January 11, 2016, the Ninth Circuit reversed the conviction for the charge concerning the Stolen Valor Act. In doing so, it held that wearing medals that you did not earn is a type of symbolic speech that cannot be made illegal due to the protections of the First Amendment.

    The Ninth Circuit held that wearing unearned medals is a form of speech that is intended to communicate an idea, similar to wearing a black arm band. The Ninth Circuit went on to write that wearing an unauthorized medal is a type of speech because wearing an authorized medal is type of speech.

    My view, perhaps not surprisingly, is different. The Stolen Valor Act addresses a unique type of deception that is intentionally done for personal gain. It is not a type

    of discussion that inevitably

    occurs in free debate.

    There is a difference between

    speech and conduct. This is

    true even when the conduct

    may be done with an intent

    to communicate. In addition,

    free speech is not absolute.

    For example, someone

    cannot slander someone

    and successfully claim that

    they had a First Amendment

    right to do so.

    The Stolen Valor Statute did

    not prohibit veterans and non-

    veterans from bragging about

    alleged accomplishments.

    Instead, it specifically targets

    a specific type of uniquely

    shameful lie.

    As the dissenting opinion

    points out, wearing a medal or

    an award (whether it is a military

    medal, an Olympic medal,

    or a Cub Scout pin) means

    that someone in a position

    of authority determined that

    you should be awarded this

    emblem and are entitled to

    wear it. In short, honor matters.

    Achievement matters.

    The Defendant did not have to

    explain to anyone what wearing

    a Purple Heart on a military

    uniform means. Without any

    words being exchanged, many

    if not most would recognize

    that his Purple Heart meant that

    he had been wounded in battle.

    The Ninth Circuit believes that

    his doing so is a type of free

    speech. I consider it a type of

    dishonorable conduct.

    SHEA STANFIELDARTS COLUMNIST

    Jackson Brown reflected, Always have something beautiful in sight, even if its a daisy in a jelly glass. Stepping into local glass artist Kathy Nelsons studio is as visually breathtaking as experiencing

    Europes cathedral glass sparkling in the sunlight. The pieces are arranged on glass shelving by color, shape, or functionality, each one more stunning than the next. You will find the play of light on glass as fascinating, as it is captivating, moving about the exquisitely arrange collections.

    Born in Pennsylvania, Kathy spent most of her childhood growing up in the west between California, Oregon, and Nevada. She relays her art classes in school were a huge influence in introducing her to a variety of mediums from photography to clay. Kathys favorites were pastels, ceramics and being introduced to the historical perspectives provided by studies in art history. She credits early experiences in her art classes providing her with a creative outlet. Kathys day job is on the analytical side so

    she appreciates the balance expressing though art brings to her life. As she would put it, Art helps me relax and use a different part of my brain. Kathy shares that her inspiration comes from many of her life interests, such as showing horses, karate, and auto racing, just to name a few.

    Reflecting back over all her experience in the creative process, Kathy states she has always enjoyed glass objects. She states, One thinks of glass as fragile, however, pieces from ancient Egypt have survived for thousands of years to provide

    us with a window into the life of one of human civilizations most prosperous and creative cultures. A number of years ago, Kathy received a stained glass class as a Christmas present. This brought her love of glass into a very real place in her life. A fused glass class followed; Kathy knew she was in her element. She observes, While a stained glass projects would take me weeks and even months to complete, fused glass

    results in a finished project in 48 hours. She enjoys the much quicker pace of both medium and method.

    Kathy belongs to the Sonoran Arts League and participates in their yearly Hidden in the Hills Studio Tour. This year, she participated in the Holiday Artisan Market, also sponsored by S.A.L. and will be in the Franciscan Renewal Centers CASA Art Walk, February 13, 14, 2016. Her work can also be seen in the Gallery at El Pedregal, Scottsdale from January through March 2016.

    Kathy offers beginning classes, by appointment, in the fused glass method. For more information on arranging a class or to purchase something beautiful and functional for your space, contact Kathy via e-mail at [email protected], view her Web site at www.imagesinglassaz.com, or leave a message at (602) 616-0905.

    NORTH VALLEY In mid-December of 2015, personnel from the Arizona Game and Fish Departments Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program positively identified an adult quagga mussel attached to the hull of a boat recently removed from Canyon Lake, a major recreational lake on the Tonto National Forest.

    Previous sampling conducted at Canyon Lake in October and November produced evidence of the genetic presence of quagga mussels near Mormon Flat Dam. Microscopic analysis of the October and November samples yielded a total of two veligers (quagga larvae). The findings suggest, for the first time, that quagga mussels are able to survive and reproduce in the lake.

    Due to these discoveries, AZGFD will be ramping up its monitoring efforts at Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake. In addition, the Department will classify Canyon Lake as an AIS-affected water under AIS Directors Orders #2. Because Apache Lake is interconnected through a pump-back water system, and Saguaro Lake, the lower Salt River to Granite Reef Dam, the Salt River Project Canal Systems, and Tempe Town Lake are connected by moving water downstream, the Department and partners might also be classifying those waters as AIS-affected.

    In addition, AZGFD will expedite plans to utilize 2016 federal AIS grant money to add personnel in the Mesa region and to purchase several mobile watercraft decontamination units. This will aid in assisting the public to clean, drain, and dry and especially decontaminate their watercraft and equipment prior to exiting this area of the Salt River chain of lakes. These increased efforts are necessary to curtail the advancement of this highly invasive species to other waters in central Arizona and the rest of the state.

    Quagga mussels colonize rapidly on hard surfaces and can ruin recreational watercraft motors, alter water quality for aquatic wildlife, and clog water intake structures such as pipes and screens, thereby impacting pumping capabilities for power and water treatment plants.

    The Department recognizes that finding one adult quagga mussel and indications of reproduction do not mean total infestation at the lake, said Tom McMahon, AZGFD aquatic invasive species program coordinator. But all recreationists and boaters need to remember to clean, drain, and dry their watercraft and equipment after every use to minimize the looming threat of a full-blown infestation in this system, and perhaps statewide.

    Under Arizona law, boaters and all recreationists who take watercraft and other equipment out of waters designated as having

    aquatic invasive species must use the following steps when leaving that listed water: CLEAN. Clean/remove

    any clinging material such as plants, animals, and mud from the anchor, boat, motor, hull, trailer, etc.

    DRAIN. Remove all water drainage plugs (and keep them out during transport). Drain the water from the bilge, live-well, and any other compartments that could hold water. Drain the water from the engine and engine cooling system(s). You can do this by lowering the outboard, while on the ramp, until the water is removed.

    DRY. Ensure the watercraft, vehicle, equipment, or conveyance is allowed to dry completely before placing in another water in Arizona. Leaving your plugs out during transport will assist in ventilating and speeding the drying time of those difficult-to-dry areas of your boat.

    For more information on quagga mussels, including the Directors Orders lists of aquatic invasive species, waters, and statewide decontamination protocols, visit https://www.azgfd.com/fishing/invasivespecies. If you are in need of decontaminating your moored boat before transporting from an AIS-affected water, contact AZGFD at (623) 236-7608.

    YCSO detectives investigating homicide in Black Canyon City

    BLACK CANYON CITY Yavapai County Sheriff s Office detectives are investigating the murder of a Black Canyon City woman.

    On Jan. 12, YCSO detectives were called to a residence on Mud Springs Road. At the scene, they found a woman who had died; the death was classified as suspicious. The victim has been identified as 42-year-old Janine Appleford.

    The following day, YCSO detectives booked 47-year-old Wayde Chaulklin into the Camp Verde Detention Center for one count of 2nd Degree Murder. The victim was reported to be Chaulklins girlfriend.

    According to a release from YCSO, Chaulklin claims he accidently shot the victim during early morning hours on Tuesday (Jan. 12) when part of a rifle he was carrying hit the corner of a table and went off and that he saw Appleford fall to the floor. YCSO noted

    that Chaulklin made no effort to contact medical personnel. He told a neighbor what had happened, and they notified YCSO. Chaulklin claims the shooting was accidental but has changed details in his story.

    The rifle involved in the incident was recovered from the scene. YCSO reported that Chaulklin was in possession of methamphetamine when he was arrested.

    Anyone with information on this crime should contact the Yavapai County Sheriff s Office at (928) 771-3260.
