Jackscht convicted on 4 counts of

manslaughterSTAFF REPORT

Michael Jakscht, the driver of a dump truck, which struck and killed four motorcyclists on March 25, 2010 was found guilty on four counts of manslaughter on Aug. 15.

Jakscht was accused of being high on methamphetamines at the time of the accident. Jakscht collided with eight motorcycles and four other vehicles in front of them, all of which were stopped at the intersection of 27th Drive and Carefree Highway. Clyde R. Nachand, Stephen Punch, Daniel L. Butler and Dayle Downs-Totonchi all died in the accident while five others were injured. A judge declared a mistrial last year when jurors deadlocked over whether to convict Jakscht of manslaughter or endangerment.

Phoenix police say toxicology tests showed Jakscht had methamphetamine in his system. Jakscht’s attorneys say he took diet pills and the brakes on the truck weren’t working well. He was also found guilty of five counts of aggravated assault, one count of endangerment imminent death, and three counts of endangerment physical injury.

Sentencing has been set for 8:30 a.m., Sept. 21.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusThe Tour of Duty Ride, a bike ride supporting military, police and fire personnel rolled through Anthem and New River on Thursday. 24 riders, 12 from the United States and 12 from Australia are riding from San Diego to New York.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusMore than 250 members of the public turned out to APS’s open house at Horseshoe Trails Elementary School on Aug. 15. APS is looking for input regarding five possible routes for new power lines that will run from the Gavilan Peak Substation to the Cave Creek Substation. Public comments are being accepted through September, with a decision expected to be made by APS in October.

Despite the fact that the two countries are on opposite sides of the globe, Australia and the United States have always shared a kinship.

“I think throughout history we’ve always shared similar belief systems and supported one and other,” Dan Farguson of the Australian Army said.

Farguson is one of 12 Australians participating in the Tour of Duty Ride, which

rode through Anthem on Thursday, making a stop at the Roadrunner Restaurant and Saloon in New River. Joined by 12 American riders the group of 24 consists of a mix of military personnel, as well as fire fighters and police officers.

The old saying is close only counts when it comes to horseshoes and hand grenades.

Members of the public that showed up to the APS open house at Horseshoe Trails Elementary School on Aug. 15 had an addendum to the old standby.

Close only counts when it comes to horseshoes, hand grenades and power lines.

“I don’t doubt that it is needed, but I don’t want it in my backyard,” Cave Creek resident Roger Thorton said.

That was a popular refrain expressed by many in the crowd of approximately 250 who were encouraged to fill out comment cards with their preferred route and any questions or comments

they might have.The open house put on

display five routes APS is considering for a new 69 – kilovolt power line designed to improve the reliability of service by constructing a new overhead 69 – kV power line on the 65 – foot high steel poles between the Gavilan Peak Substation and the Cave Creek Substation.

As it stands there is only one line into the Cave Creek Substation. The additional line will help prevent an extended loss of electric service to area customers in the event of a single-line or transformer outage.

The 2012 Olympic games saw Uguanda’s Stephen Kiprotich win the gold medal in the marathon.

While Kiprotich’s performance in London will have a positive impact on his home country the community of Anthem also has a dedicated group of runners that will use the marathon as a vehicle to positively affect change on the African country.

For the fifth straight year a group of Anthem residents will participate in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. The 2013 event is scheduled for Jan. 20

Through Water for Our World runner’s efforts have raised approximately $50,000 during the last four years with the proceeds going to finance the installation of wells in four villages throughout Uguanda.

This year the goal is to raise enough funds for two wells.

“It’s really rewarding to think we’re up to year five,” said Dan Spinogatti, one of the group’s

organizers. “We started from nothing and five years later we have a pretty consistent group that keeps coming back.”

An informational meeting about this year’s event is set for 6 p.m., Aug. 29 at Anthem Community Center Rec-Room.

“It’s such a big thing to provide people with clean drinking water,” Spinogatti said. “It a chance to make a life-changing, even saving difference in people’s lives.”

The motto on the t-shirts that all the participants receive is ‘the finish line is just the beginning.’”

Those interested in participating in the fundraiser are asked to raise at least $500.

Spinogatti said approximately half of last year’s 30 participants ran the half marathon of 13.1 miles while half ran the full marathon (26.2).

“Almost without exception we’ve got an 18-19 week training program that will get anybody ready to cross the finish line,” he said. “Not only do we give them a workout program, but

we’ll give them advice on diet, hydration, nutrition, stretching as well rest.”

Along with instruction on how to prepare the group offers camaraderie as group runs are planned to help participants stick with the training.

Through the first four years, the group, which has included runners from throughout the Valley, has had runners ranging in age from 13 – 60.

Spinogatti has also combined with a local gym in town to offer a cross training element to provide some variety to runners’ preparation.

In addition to the marathon, Water for Our World is having a charity event on Nov. 16 at El Pedregal for an event called Wine to Water. The evening will include a dinner reception, raffle prizes and a silent auction.

In addition to helping the homeless locally receive drinking water the organization helps build wells in developing countries world-wide. Through efforts of runners the group has raised $50,000 for the installation of wells in various villages in the African country of Uguanda.

Women’s Equality Day is on Sunday, a day celebrating the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote upon its passage on Aug. 26, 1920.

Kate Campbell Stevenson will have a trio of performances on Saturday, including the finale, “Petticoats to Power Suits” at 7:30 p.m. at Boulder Creek Performing Arts Center.

In her one-woman musical Campbell Stevenson will highlight the lives of Abigail Adams, Alice Paul, Rose Crabtree, Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson.

“I think it’s important to know where we came from so we can move forward,” she said. “This show helps educate, entertain and motivate.”

Since women earned the right to vote Campbell Stevenson said she thinks there has been a, ‘nonchalant naivety’ about the struggle of women.

“I think it was a cultural dampening down,” she said. “I think once women won the vote they thought things would be hunky dory. What we need to do is to educate the young people, actually all people, on the sacrifices of women to win the vote.”

During her one-woman performance Stevenson said she goes back and forth between the characters.

“I become these women,” she said. “I bring to life really important pinnacle moments where these women have an ah-ha moment and decide they can make a difference. Those are the moments where the audience can become inspired.”

Campbell Stephens hopes the show she has been performing for the better part of 16 years moves the country’s youth to action. She has done her show all over the country, performing at everything from Town Halls to schools, universities up to military bases, the Pentagon and the Oval Office.

“We live in a tremendous country, but being in the U.S. we have an obligation to participate,” she said. “That’s what it is all about. We need women and young girls to understand that we have voices that need to be heard.”

Following a 70 minute performance there will be an

intermission before Campbell Stephens returns to the stage with a panel of Arizona women leaders from the worlds of education, the military, business and government. The group will discuss the changing roles for women as American culture moves toward a more equitable shared leadership with men and women.

Campbell Stephens notes although 51 percent of the population are women only 17 percent are in the legislature, saying women need to do better and offer more in the way of leadership.

“This isn’t anti men,” she said. “Any forward thinking man would understand that shared leadership is the best way to go forward.”

The show will kickoff ProMusica Arizona’s 10th anniversary season. Tickets range from $25 – 75. The $75 ticket includes a post-concert reception with the performer and distinguished panelists at a private home in Anthem Country Club.

For information on Campbell Stevenson, who will also have two shows earlier in the day Saturday, go to katecampbellstevenson.com. All three shows will be at Boulder Creek Performing Arts Center, located at 40404 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway. For tickets and information go to pmaz.org or call 623-889-7144.

Submitted photoKate Campbell Stevenson will perform three shows on Saturday at Boulder Creek High School. The last performance, “Petticoats to Power Suits,” begins at 7:30 p.m. and highlights the lives of Abigail Adams, Alice Paul, Rose Crabtree, Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson.

When the dust settled following a 3-7 2011 season Cactus Shadows football coach Greg Davis and the rest of his staff analyzed where things had gone south.

“Our first conclusion was that the defensive scheme was too complicated,” the second year Falcons coach said. “We had a case where we had paralysis by analysis. The second thing was that we were -20 in the turnover battle. If you are -5 on a season you’re probably in for a tough year.”

Davis believes the struggles defensively led to a rash of turnovers offensively. With a defense that allowed 42 points a game Cactus Shadows offense, led by quarterback Bryce Kinsler, felt the weight of needing to score consistently just to keep their team in games.

Consequently Kinsler, who completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,247 yards with 28 touchdowns and 8 interceptions as a sophomore saw his numbers take a hit in 2011 as his junior season saw him complete 54 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,925 yards with 25 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.

“People were asking me what was wrong with Bryce and I was telling them there’s nothing wrong with him, but if we’re already down 10 and it’s third and long a lot of times he tried to throw the ball through a window rather than taking the check down receiver, getting five yards and accepting that we might have to punt. A lot of his interceptions were forced throws on third and long. He won’t have to force things like he did last season.”

Kinsler vows that turnovers won’t be a problem this season.

“We’re going to control the ball and eliminate the stupid turnovers,” he said. “I’m going in with the mindset that it’s okay if we have to punt sometimes because our defense is going to be great this year.”

A pessimist might be concerned that a defense that yielded 42 points a game returns

eight of 11 starters, but Davis said last year’s beleaguered unit has grown immensely both physically and emotionally from a season ago.

“There’s a different attitude, a different confidence here now,” the coach said.

An investment in the weight room, both financially, through fundraising and in terms of sweat equity has paid noticeable dividends according to the coach, who also says the players having a better understanding of his expectations and him having a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses has made for a much productive off-season.

“This is the third program where I’ve been a varsity head coach and the biggest gains at the two previous stops came in the second year,” Davis said. “By the end of last year we were only starting three seniors total so we have a lot of experience back.”

One of the leaders on the defensive side of the ball will be senior Mike Thompson.

The defensive lineman, who said his personal goal is to set the school record for sacks in a season, said he thinks vast improvements are in store for the defense.

“We’re feeling pretty good,” he said. “We click together as a group. We work for each other

and we have new leadership. I think we’ll be strong against both the run and the pass. Our defensive line is quick off the line and then we’ve got a really strong group of corners and safeties too.”

Along with Thompson, Davis said the front seven will be led by the play of junior Brad Souva returning to anchor the line at nose guard and senior middle linebacker Nick Molchan. Molchan was the team’s second leading tackler a season ago and recorded a team best 4.5 sacks while Souva and Thompson tied for third in tackles.

In the secondary the Falcons return standouts seniors Matt Hartlan and R.J. Anderson at the safety spots and expect a big season at corner from junior Emeka Esemonu. The coach also likes the improvement he has seen from senior Cruz Baciewicz from a season ago.

“We think we can cut what we gave up defensively in half,” Davis said. “If we go from giving up 42 per game to 21 a game I’m confident we’re going to win a lot of games.”

Like the defense, the offense also returns eight starters from 2011. Along with Kinsler, Anderson was one of the team’s top playmakers, rushing for 838 yards, on 4.73 yards per attempt

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusCactus Shadows junior cornerback Emeka Esemonu is expected to be a key cog in what the Falcons are expecting to be a much improved defense in 2012. To view more photos from Thursday’s practice go to facebook.com/thefoothills.focus.com

Following a 6-5 season that ended in the first round of the Div-I state playoffs the Jaguars will head into 2012 gunning for their fifth straight state playoff appearance.

In order to accomplish that feat they’ll have to do so with a new look squad, which will depend on a talented junior class, which only lost one game at the freshman and junior varsity level, to step up and acclimate to varsity competition quickly.

The Jaguars will feature a new quarterback, an entirely new offensive line as well as a new defensive philosophy.

Coach Dan Friedman, who enters his sixth season at the helm and has run the offense during his tenure, turns his attention to the defense, after long-time assistant Anthony Paterno took the defensive coordinator job at Horizon High School.

The coach said the defense will make a significant change in its style.

“We’re going to play to our strengths,” he said. “We have been very aggressive in past with a bunch of blitzes, but this year we’re going to be more reactionary, with a 3-4 defense where we are going to be reading the offense and then making plays.”

After starting the season at 4-1 the Jaguars never seemed to recover from a 10-7 loss to Mountain Ridge as they won only two of their last six games.

Junior linebacker Isaiah Birkel, the leading returning tackler from a season ago (68), said the team’s attitude has changed from 2011.

“We didn’t play with the energy we should have all the time last season,” he said. “Last year we played to the level of the competition. I think with the personality of the players this year we should have more excitement. I’m going to make sure people are pumped up and ready to go every game.”

Along with being an

emotional leader, Birkel said he has set goals for 100 tackles, three interceptions and three sacks for the season.

Backing Birkel in the secondary will be a pair of playmaking cornerbacks in seniors Isaiah Huston and Ryan McKinley. The pair combined for eight interceptions with Huston leading the team with five.

“They’re both Div-I talents,” Friedman said.

In addition to his experienced playmakers Friedman can barely contain his enthusiasm about the potential of sophomore safety Ryan Parenteau.

“Everybody is going to notice him,” he said. “He’s a hitter. He has speed. He just gets it. He was amazing in our scrimmage.”

Along with Birkel the front seven should be led by senior linebacker Jack Warner and junior nose guard Lincoln Kestner. Assuming he can get healthy, Friedman also said sophomore Nathan Eldridge could make an impact.

“I’m confident we’re going to be really solid defensively,” Friedman said.

The offense admittedly has more question marks as all five starters on the offensively line graduated from a year ago.

“There’s no doubt that’s a

little scary, but even though this new group is young I like their work ethic,” Friedman said.

While all five lineman will be first year starters on the varsity level, senior tackle Ryan Patterson is expected to be a leader, having seen action on the varsity both as a sophomore and as a junior. Junior Tyler Mumford lines up at the opposite tackle while fellow junior Ciaran McGirr mans one of the guard spots. Junior Brad Jacobs will be the starting center as the Jaguars feature a junior class that make up 38 of the team’s 54-man roster.

The new offensive line will try to protect senior quarterback Tanner Court. Court will attempt to fill the shoes of two-year starter Trevor Bonifasi. Last season the 2012 graduate threw for 1,588 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 58 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 329 yards, averaging 5.48 yards per carry and scored four rushing touchdowns.

“I’m excited with what Tanner can do running the ball,” Friedman said. “In that respect he reminds me a lot of Trevor.”

The offense’s top proven playmakers are Huston and

the USS Midway in San Diego. Over the course of 29 days the group will travel 2,600 miles before reaching the USS Intrepid in New York on Sept. 10. The event aims to demonstrate respect and admiration for the military, police, fire- fighters and emergency service workers who serve both Australia and the United States with diligence, care and selflessness. The ride is meant out of respect for all those who responded to the attacks on September 11 and who continue to serve in the fight against terrorism, for freedom and peace.

Farguson said while the United States was most adversely affected the events of 9/11 were widespread.

“This ride means more than a fair bit to me,” he said. “9/11 changed things for people all over the world. It shook everybody up. Since then I’ve served in Afghanistan. Australia hasn’t lost near the men and women the United States has in the wars in the Middle East, but I lost some really good mates while serving in the military. Those blokes are in my heart as I’m doing this ride.”

Event organizer Paul Richie, a Melbourne firefighter of 25 years, said he sees the event building momentum.

“I really think the potential could be limitless,” he said. “There’s a fantastic energy not only between the people riding

and the organizers, but the people we’ve come in contact with along the way. Phoenix has been fantastic. At each stop along the way we’ve had local people come and ride stretches with us.”

While Richie doesn’t have any set fundraising goal he said proceeds from the ride will support the Wounded Warrior project and the New York Police and Fire widows and childrens fund - www.answerthecallblog.org.

Will Downey, a 37-year-old New York City firefighter, said he was excited about the opportunity to be involved with the ride.

“I’m coming off an injury so I haven’t been biking as much as I should have to get ready for this event, but I wasn’t going to miss this opportunity,” he said. “I’m struggling, but to be a part of something like this, especially one that gives back to the military is great. Sometimes I think they get lost in the shuffle. People need to remember their sacrifices and keep them in the forefront of their minds.”

Fargonson said although he has been to Hawaii this was his first trip to the mainland of the United States. He said he was physically prepared for the demands of approximately 110 mile days, adapting to the weather has been a different story.

“You’ve got to remember that we’re in the middle of winter

in Australia,” he said. “I was training in freezing cold so to adapt to the heat of this climate is pretty challenging. I’m trying to get as much water down as I can to stay hydrated. We’ve got the outback, but this terrain is so different. It’s very beautiful. It’s been a very rewarding trip already.”

Along with simply taking donations by texting “RIDE” to 41444 they are also selling coins commemorating the event. A $20 purchase will give collectors a coin that reads 16 states, 2,788 miles on one side with the route on the U.S. map in the center. Around the edge it reads Australia, United States on the top with police, fire and military on the bottom.

The other side of the coin reads ‘Tour of Duty Ride SD to NY 2012’ with the Australian and United States flags in the middle. Around the edges it reads, ‘CAMARADERIE, HUMANITY, SELF-SACRIFICE and MATESHIP.’

While 24 riders will make the entire journey to New York the group has already been joined along various segments by local first responders and military servicemen.

By Thursday night the group planned to be in Flagstaff and were scheduled to ride to the Grand Canyon by Friday.

For information about the ride or to donate go to tourofdutyride.com.

pet of the week

Norman is a 6-year-old male yellow lab. He was found as a stray. So far, he’s adjusting well and acts as if he’s used to being around a family and home. He does well with other dogs and children. Doesn’t jump on anyone and meets everyone at the door with a big labby smile. So far, no accidents in the house. He rode well in the car and appears to be crate trained already. He’s great on a leash and loves to go for walks. He’s a very handsome fellow and we know Norman will find a great home soon.

If you would like more information on Norman or other dogs in need of loving homes, please contact Arizona Labrador & Giant Breed Rescue at azlabsandgiants.org. The adoption fees cover the cost of spay/neuter, basic vet check, heartworm test, microchip, 5 in 1 vaccination, and Rabies and Bordatella vaccinations. The group is also desperately in need of volunteers, especially foster homes. For information on being a volunteer go to azlabsandgiants.org.

showed the possible routes being considered, answered questions and encouraged the crowd of approximately 250 to fill out comment cards with their preferred route and any questions or comments they might have.

Project Manager Richard Stuhan said between now and the end of September APS will be seeking public input to ascertain the most appropriate route.

“We understand we’re not going to make everybody happy, but we’re looking for reasonable consensus,” he said. “We can build any of these routes.”

All five routes begin from the Gavilan Peak Substation by heading southwest. The gray proposal would have the line travel east on Cloud Road up until the border of the Cave Creek Recreation Area at approximately 40th St. From there it would drop south before continuing east, eventually running along Carefree Highway, northeast to the Cave Creek Substation.

The purple line would go southeast to Carefree Highway, running east all along what is now designated a scenic corridor.

The blue option would go southeast just short of Lone Mountain Road, before jutting back north briefly, heading

east until connecting up with Cave Creek Road.

The lavender route goes south all the way to Lone Mountain Road, heads east on Lone Mountain Road before heading northeast on Cave Creek Road.

The green route would go southeast all the way to Lone Mountain Road as well, but instead of heading north on Cave Creek Road would continue east all the way to 56th St. before heading north and connecting into Cave Creek Road at Carefree Highway.

In talking to those that turned out Stuhan said he heard the region’s south residing residents generally telling him they believe it should go in the north end of the region, the less populated area, while the northern residents suggested it belonged on the south end, what they deemed the less scenic area.

David Small, who lives in the Whispering Hills development,

said he fears that being in a smaller development, that his region might get stuck with the power lines because the bigger areas will get more public comments.

“We have beautiful views of the mountains and it would be a shame to lose that,” he said.

Stuhan clarified that while APS customers will be considered strongly there are other considerations. Among the list are land acquisition, regulatory approvals, cost, engineering as well as environmental considerations.

Carrie Zigler, of Cave Creek, said she would be fearful of the impact power lines would have on the health of her two young girls. She also said he had concerns about the negative impact the lines could have on the property value of her home.

“I’d like to think people would see putting it along the Carefree Highway as the most sensible choice,” she said. “It’s a more commercial area, an area where you wouldn’t even blink to see

power lines. They don’t belong in a residential community.”

Nancy Stuart, from Desert Wind in Cave Creek said she also felt the Carefree Highway route made the most sense. When asked about the impact the public will have in influencing the decision Stuart admitted she wasn’t sure.

“I’ve never been to one of these before, but I am appreciative that they are taking the public’s input,” she said. “You can’t know if they’ve already made a decision behind closed doors, but I’m hopeful.”

Debra Bills, who lives off of Cloud Road and said she’s frustrated by the fact that when she wanted to install electrical lines to her home when she first moved to the area APS said the only option she had was to pay the extra cost to have them buried.

“I want to know what has changed,” she said. “Why can APS build above ground now. We have a fabulous view from our home. We spend a lot of

time sitting out on our deck enjoying the view without any power lines. I don’t want to see that change.”

APS said it’s willing to bury lines although the cost is 5 to 6 times as much as above ground lines, an expense that would have to be paid by the customers, or some other entity.

Public input is being accepted through the end of September, with a route selection expected to be announced in early October.The project is tentatively scheduled for completion in June of 2014.

The public can submit comments via email to the APS Project Manager, Richard Stuhan, at [email protected] or by phone at 602-493-4448. For information about the project go to aps.com/general_info/siting_51.html.

and scoring seven touchdowns.The dual threat also had

the second most receptions amongst returners, catching 39 passes for 558 yards and four touchdowns last year.

Hartlen returns to lead the wide receiving corps after hauling in 54 passes for 706 yards, a 13.07 average in 2011. The senior turned nine of those receptions into touchdowns.

Senior Kyle Gladstone also figures to give Kinsler another solid option through the air. Gladstone, a 6-foot-4, 210 pound tight end is back after tearing his ACL in the season opener a year ago, a game in which he caught six passes, and averaged 15 yards per reception. Davis said San Diego State is showing serious interest in the senior.

Souvey and senior tackle Dylan Hasse are expected to anchor the offensive line for the Falcons.

With a year of experience together the Falcons are thinking big in 2012.

“We don’t just want to make

the playoffs, we want to host a home game,” Thompson said.

Kinsler agrees.“We’re going to take it

week by week, but we all just want to win,” he said. “Our senior class works really hard and the younger guys follow that lead. We have more chemistry. We’re excited.”

Other than being a little thin overall, with just 37 varsity players Davis said he has few question marks.

“We understand there were teams last year that went 7-3 and didn’t make the playoffs, but we really believe the playoffs are in our future,” the coach said. “We know we’ll face adversity, but I think we can battle through it and overcome it. Our Falcons creed basically says play every play like it’s your last. That’s the type of urgency and passion we want to bring to the field on Friday nights.”

The season opener for the Falcons is at 7 p.m., Friday against the Boulder Creek Jaguars.

senior running back Stephen Landeros. Last year Huston caught a team best 37 passes for 453 yards and three touchdown receptions. The standout also rushed for a touchdown and threw for a touchdown. Huston also provides the team’s kicking game with a home run threat as he average 27.09 yards per return. This year he also is expected to return punts.

“We have packages where he’ll be at quarterback,” Friedman said. “Any time you get him the ball in space he has a chance to make a big play.”

Landeros also has home run potential. The team’s top rusher from a season ago averaged 5.78 yards per carry in racking up 676 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. He also was a threat as a receiver, hauling in 24 passes for a 12.29 per catch average, adding three touchdowns.

“Whatever I can do to lead my team to wins,” said Landeros, when asked about what he expects out of himself

in 2012. “I don’t care if I do it running the ball or whether I do it by catching passes.”

Purenta and junior Branden Reber, both running backs, are two additional weapons Friedman said have a chance to be strong contributors.

Like Birkel, Landeros said last year’s second half swoon left a bitter taste in his mouth.

“I think we lost confidence after the loss to Mountain Ridge,” he said. “The truth is we disrespected our opponent. We thought that was a game we were supposed to win and we didn’t come ready to play. It’s definitely going to be important for us to get off to a good start by winning game one. We really felt like we left a lot on the table last year. Our seniors definitely want to make a deep run in the playoffs. We don’t want to be known as a team that’s one and done in the playoffs.”

The Jaguars open the season on the road, visiting Cactus Shadows in a 7 p.m. game Friday.

THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHy GREENDir: Peter HedgesStarring: Jennifer

Garner, Joel Edgerton,and CJ Adams

3.25 OUT OF 5.00

MONTE yAZZIESPECIAL FOR

THE FOOTHILLS FOCUSThere is a moment in The

Odd Life Of Timothy Green when a young couple, Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim (Joel Edgerton), are told they will not be able to have children of their own. Devastated, Cindy mourns the loss, crying in their finished nursery, while Jim waits outside the room unsure of how to help; it’s heartbreaking.

Tackling the topic of infertility is difficult because it’s a situation that is especially unique to the individual. This aspect offers challenges when making a family film with a topic so personal, and unfortunately it shows in this film. However, The Odd Life of Timothy Green still offers an endearing and heartwarming message of hope. The film begins with Jim

and Cindy pleading their case in an adoption interview. When asked by the interviewer what will make them good

parents their answer is simply “Timothy”. The story of how Timothy (CJ Adams) came into the couple’s lives begins with the diagnosis of their infertility. In an attempt to make the first steps of coping, Cindy and Jim write every attribute they wish their child would have on pieces of paper and bury them in the garden. During the night, after a peculiar downpour, Jim and Cindy are awoken by footsteps thumping through the house. They discover a young boy, covered in mud, with leaves sprouting from his legs; he tells the Green’s his name is Timothy.

Jim and Cindy are excited, yet reluctant, for the opportunity. They decide to introduce Timothy as their child at a family reunion happening the next morning. Timothy is charismatic and friendly, and though some of the family members are wary at first, they soon accept him. Timothy seems to influence everyone that he encounters in a personal way; whether it’s making his Uncle Bob (M. Emmett Walsh) laugh or making Cindy’s grumpy supervisor (Dianne Weist) feel special, Timothy has a magnetic personality.

The ensemble cast is good and provide a list of notable and familiar faces, however there is a couple that feel out of place.

Jennifer Garner has played the overbearing, protective mother before but she is good at it. Joel Edgerton transitions from the battered, tough guy and gives a suitable turn as the father figure. As parents, Garner and Edgerton do a pleasant job of possessing the naïve, and sometimes over zealous, aspects of new parents. CJ Adams is the glue that holds the film together as Timothy; his charming and innocent demeanor offers his character sensitivity and appeal.

Although the film is marketed for families, there are some underlying themes that younger children might miss. The storytelling is both whimsical and realistic, although unevenly too realistic, which drains

some of the magic found in the character of Timothy. The film also gets confounded with what aspect to focus on, moral or magic, when it should utilize both and this unfortunately hurts the overall tone of the film.

The subject of infertility could present some conflicting perspectives for those who are currently, or have, struggled with it; however I do commend the film for confronting the subject. Though the film does display some flaws with how and when to utilize plot devices, director Peter Hedges has composed a film of sensible emotion wrapped in a fanciful story. The message behind The Odd Life of Timothy Green is important; it’s one of hope in the face of loss.

Look for bird activity, such as greal blue herons or seagulls. Binoculars can help you spot boils.

The anchovy bite for stripers at around 60 feet is still tapering off a little, but it’s still a good fall back if you can’t find surface boils.

With a waxing crescent moon this week, it’s still a good time to fish at night under submersible lights when thunder storms aren’t threatening.

Nighttime fishing for catfish, especially from shore, should be good. This is prime catfish time. Try stink baits such as chicken liver. Corn can also work for both catfish and carp. Frozen anchovies fished on the bottom are another good choice -- you might even catch a striped bass.

O’REILLy

SHIELDS

After Rep. Paul Ryan was announced as Mitt Romney’s running mate, it took less than 24 hours for The New York Times to define Ryan as an “extremist.” In a lead editorial,

the paper ban nered this sub-headl ine: “With no plan of his own, Mr. R o m n e y c a n ’ t

distance himself from Mr. Ryan’s extremist vision.”

That “vision” would be federal spending cuts and entitlement reform.

While chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan sent two spending bills to the House, both of which passed but were killed in the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats. The bills cut federal programs across the board. Ryan is also

a fan of reforming Medicare and Social Security, which are going bankrupt.

In the bubble that is the liberal media, trimming government spending and making entitlements more fiscally viable are extreme positions. That’s somewhat ironic because President Obama’s strategy of massive government spending and borrowing is perhaps the most extreme economic plan in the nation’s history. Never before has the USA run up such an enormous debt and had so little to show for it.

So defining Ryan as extreme is an interesting scare tactic — and one that might be extended in the days to come. Here are some other positions that the committed left media consider extreme:

—If you believe traditional marriage should be kept as the exclusive standard, you are not only extreme; you are a

homophobe.—If you believe all Americans

should pay less in taxes, you are greedy and an anti-poor extremist.

—If you believe the Second Amendment gives Americans the right to buy and possess guns, you are promoting violence in an extreme way.

—If you believe the government has a duty to combat overseas terrorists without giving them constitutional protections, you are an extreme anti-human rights individual.

—If you believe abortion is the taking of a human life, you are an anti-woman extremist.

—If you support securing the nation’s borders and regulating immigration, you are anti-Hispanic.

The list goes on and on.By labeling someone as

extreme, you can dismiss whatever they say. That’s the strategy being used against Ryan. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd

writes: “Ryan should stop being so lovable. People who intend to hurt other people should wipe the smile off their faces.”

So in Dowd’s estimation, Ryan is in politics to harm the folks. He gets up every day and plots the personal damage he might be able to achieve.

This is now where we are in American politics. If Ryan’s reform vision will harm Americans, let’s hear some specifics. So far, under Obama, we have a sluggish economy, high employment and record debt. Sounds harmful to me.

But then again, I’m an

extremist.

Here was one hypothetical question put to 12 white Milwaukee-area women voters during a two-plus-hour focus group sponsored by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania on a Tuesday

A u g u s t night: To qualify for the time-s a v i n g H O V lane for a 90-minute car trip,

you must choose as your passenger either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. Who’s your choice?

To college administrator Jody Wamser, 55, Obama would be

“more interesting to talk to, more relaxing.” Michelle Tina Wilke, 38, an electrical wirer, picked the “friendlier” Obama. And 24-year-old Suzy Schreiber, a retail clerk, predicted a “more fun” trip with Obama

In fact, all 12 women unanimously told the man conducting the focus group, respected Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, that they preferred to carpool with Obama rather than Romney. That’s the good news for the incumbent Democrat. The not-so-good news for the president is that none of the three women quoted above — each of whom voted for him in 2008 — is now committed to voting to re-elect him on Nov. 6.

Maine Republican Bill

Cohen, who never lost an election for city council, Congress or the U.S. Senate, once explained: “I don’t care how great your ideas are; how well you can articulate them. People must like you before they will vote for you.” Among these dozen Wisconsin voters, liking is not enough. Ten of the 12 voted for Obama in 2008, but just four are now willing to say they will do so again.

It is not that Romney has won their hearts and minds. He remains, even after his popular-in-the-room choice of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, an excessively secretive, aloof, even elitist figure best known for his personal wealth.

When Hart asked the group what one personal quality of Ryan’s they would give to Romney, the responses were revealing. In the judgment of Michelle Nicole Wienke, 39, a homemaker, Romney could use “relatability to the average American.” Linda Granec, 43

and a homemaker, believes Romney would improve by learning from Ryan how to be “authentic.” Administrative assistant Kate Carter, who voted Republican in 2008 and will in 2012, urges Romney to follow Ryan and dare to become a “risk taker.”

In a strange way, Barack Obama’s real opponent in Wisconsin is not Romney but rather the state’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, who in June, after stripping public employees of their collective bargaining rights and earning the all-out opposition of organized labor, became the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election.

Suzy Schreiber, the 2008 Obama voter who’s now undecided, put it this way: “I’ve always leaned to the left. But I voted for him (Walker) in the recall because I liked that he stood by his convictions and he did not care about re-election.” She continued, “Obama hasn’t

stood strong enough for his convictions ... because he’s looking for the second election.”

Michelle Tina Wilkie, who was laid off three years ago from Harley and who will not vote again for Obama, states: “We need someone who’s brave. I look at Scott Walker. I don’t think the way he went about doing it was the right way. But it needed to be done, and he got it done.” She added: “Scott Walker did it in less than a year. Obama’s had four years.”

All but two of these 12 Wisconsin women have personally or through an immediate family member endured the real pain of losing jobs, homes or businesses. They anxiously seek a strong leader with a specific plan to restore U.S. prosperity for all. Most of them have not yet found that leader.
