T hank you to everyone who attended our annual meeting in March At our last count there were nearly 200 of you

who took the time to join us We appreciate it This was an important meeting to look back on some of our accomplishments and improvements during 2014 to look ahead at our plans for 2015 and to talk about the pending transition from developer to homeowner control Please visit the website for the Frequently Asked Questions handout and the Agenda

We had wild success with our spring plant sale We sold hundreds of beautiful shrubs and ground covers to happy homeowners at far less than retail prices This sale was so successful that we will be doing them twice per year both in spring

and in fall Stay tuned for more details when the summer heat has passed

Speaking of summer this is the time of year when the association is faced with increased vandalism throughout the community During summer months we find increased graffiti broken light

fixtures and other intentional damage throughout this community As the saying goes ldquoIdle hands are the devils playgroundrdquo ndash we find this to be especially true when school is out Parents please take a moment to tell your kids that vandalizing the amenities of this beautiful community is costing you money Ask them to please assist us by being the eyes and ears of the community by reporting any vandalism that they witness or become aware of We appreciate everyonersquos help and support keeping Vistancia greathellipafter all we were voted the 1 master-planned community for the second year in a row

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Why is Lake Pleasant the School of Choice

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

T hank you to everyone who attended our annual meeting in March At our last count there were nearly 200 of you

who took the time to join us We appreciate it This was an important meeting to look back on some of our accomplishments and improvements during 2014 to look ahead at our plans for 2015 and to talk about the pending transition from developer to homeowner control Please visit the website for the Frequently Asked Questions handout and the Agenda

We had wild success with our spring plant sale We sold hundreds of beautiful shrubs and ground covers to happy homeowners at far less than retail prices This sale was so successful that we will be doing them twice per year both in spring

and in fall Stay tuned for more details when the summer heat has passed

Speaking of summer this is the time of year when the association is faced with increased vandalism throughout the community During summer months we find increased graffiti broken light

fixtures and other intentional damage throughout this community As the saying goes ldquoIdle hands are the devils playgroundrdquo ndash we find this to be especially true when school is out Parents please take a moment to tell your kids that vandalizing the amenities of this beautiful community is costing you money Ask them to please assist us by being the eyes and ears of the community by reporting any vandalism that they witness or become aware of We appreciate everyonersquos help and support keeping Vistancia greathellipafter all we were voted the 1 master-planned community for the second year in a row

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Why is Lake Pleasant the School of Choice

Megan Preston Teacher One reason Lake Pleasant is a school of choice is because the teachers and staff truly care about students The staff goes above and beyond to ensure success for each student They work with students based on their individual needs getting them

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

T hank you to everyone who attended our annual meeting in March At our last count there were nearly 200 of you

who took the time to join us We appreciate it This was an important meeting to look back on some of our accomplishments and improvements during 2014 to look ahead at our plans for 2015 and to talk about the pending transition from developer to homeowner control Please visit the website for the Frequently Asked Questions handout and the Agenda

We had wild success with our spring plant sale We sold hundreds of beautiful shrubs and ground covers to happy homeowners at far less than retail prices This sale was so successful that we will be doing them twice per year both in spring

and in fall Stay tuned for more details when the summer heat has passed

Speaking of summer this is the time of year when the association is faced with increased vandalism throughout the community During summer months we find increased graffiti broken light

fixtures and other intentional damage throughout this community As the saying goes ldquoIdle hands are the devils playgroundrdquo ndash we find this to be especially true when school is out Parents please take a moment to tell your kids that vandalizing the amenities of this beautiful community is costing you money Ask them to please assist us by being the eyes and ears of the community by reporting any vandalism that they witness or become aware of We appreciate everyonersquos help and support keeping Vistancia greathellipafter all we were voted the 1 master-planned community for the second year in a row

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Why is Lake Pleasant the School of Choice

Megan Preston Teacher One reason Lake Pleasant is a school of choice is because the teachers and staff truly care about students The staff goes above and beyond to ensure success for each student They work with students based on their individual needs getting them

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

Lake Pleasant is a school of choice built on trust community and collaboration We are invested in providing meaningful experiences that promote individual success and a passion for lifelong learning

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Spring Landscape

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting things we have been doing around the Vistancia community this past month

Caretaker Landscape and Tree Management has installed plant material along the roadways and medians of Sunrise Sunset and Whispering Ridge The installation of the new plants was completed to replace missing diseased or soon to be expired plant material Also you may have noticed that two new Date Palms were installed one at the entrance to Tapestry and one on the north side of the roundabout

Spring is a great time to refresh or update your landscape Plants and trees have a greater success rate due to the perfect temperatures During the spring months the plants have a good opportunity to establish themselves before the summer heat arrives

Care to know April is the time to start lowering the mowing heights on over seeded turf areas to allow sun light to reach the Bermuda

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

4 Separate the Weeds From the BloomsAfter yoursquove spent a whole day sorting screws in your garage you might want to tear your hair out Get violent in a more productive way instead Start with yanking up weeds Therersquos something very satisfying about ripping up a troublesome weed before it has the chance to terrorize your neighborhood

5 Roll it On ThickIf your formerly pristine shutters are looking a few shades grayer or more bleached-out than before it might be time for a touch-up Same goes for the garage door and your front door -- whatrsquos more welcoming than a well-taken-care-of facade when you pull in the driveway from work

When cleaning always start work from the top down inside to outside to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again

H erersquos a few tips and reminders to help with the spring cleaning

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

1 Squeaky clean windowsTake the screens off and take them outside for a gentle bath with a hose If theyrsquore especially icky you might want to rub them with some soapy water and a brush (Start with the outside windows before taking the show inside or you wonrsquot be able to tell whether theyrsquore actually clean or not)

2 Get Your Mind (and Those Leaves) Out of the GutterAt least when you clean gutters in the spring you have blue skies and little fluffy clouds as a background We recommend wearing gloves for this project

3 Sort It OutWith your new sun-induced lease on life itrsquos time to face the task of organizing Try to assign and arrange areas Perhaps therersquos a hobby area in one corner and workshop equipment in another Decide where these will go then move on to figure out how to store everything After all the biggest necessity for many families is storage space Installing cabinets shelves racks and hooks may help immensely

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Why is Lake Pleasant the School of Choice

Megan Preston Teacher One reason Lake Pleasant is a school of choice is because the teachers and staff truly care about students The staff goes above and beyond to ensure success for each student They work with students based on their individual needs getting them

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

Lake Pleasant is a school of choice built on trust community and collaboration We are invested in providing meaningful experiences that promote individual success and a passion for lifelong learning

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Pepperoni Pizza MuffinsBy Vanessa Rodriguez Coppola of wwwSeeVanessaCraftcom

Ihis is one of my favorite recipes for kids to help cook It requires minimal prep is fun to make and who doesnrsquot love pizza My 4 year old could do most of the steps with minimal

assistance The best part is that hersquos more likely to eat something he made himself No mealtime battles here After we pop the muffins into the oven you can usually find him sitting right across from the oven anxiously waiting for the timer to beep The wait is always worth it These pizza muffins would be great in a lunchbox or for an easy party meal

INGREDIENTSbull cooking spraybull canned biscuitsbull mozzarella cheesebull tomato saucebull oregano garlic saltbull Hormel Pepperoni Minis

INSTRUCTIONSStep 1 Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray Separate the canned biscuits from each other and use a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits so they fit inside of a muffin tin Place a biscuit inside each muffin tin compartment

Step 2 Add 12 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the top of each biscuit in the muffin tin

Step 3 Sprinkle each biscuit with oregano and garlic salt to taste

Step 4 Add 1-2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese to each biscuit

Step 5 Top the cheese with mini pepperonis

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

Why is Lake Pleasant the School of Choice

Megan Preston Teacher One reason Lake Pleasant is a school of choice is because the teachers and staff truly care about students The staff goes above and beyond to ensure success for each student They work with students based on their individual needs getting them

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

Tammy Smith Parent Lake Pleasant is a smaller community with a strong resource program for students with special needs We like the administration and teachers are happy which means happy students and parents

Lake Pleasant is a school of choice built on trust community and collaboration We are invested in providing meaningful experiences that promote individual success and a passion for lifelong learning

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

Seeing RED Liberty High School Provides New Learning Opportunities

By Amberlee Pavey and Christopher Le

L iberty High School is actively trying new things to achieve the highest level of student success Under Principal John

Croteaursquos guidance the excelling high school has begun implementing a strategy referred to

as RED Zone No this is not the red zone that lies between the twenty yard line and the goal line in football RED actually stands for ldquoRemediation and Enrichment Dayrdquo This is a day where students who are achieving excelling grades can leave class early They get to go out and enjoy the free time they have earned with their hard workmdashduring certain months Liberty plans special events for students to partake in In February the art department put together an art festival that featured work from a bevy of different classes Ceramics Photography Art Band Theatre etc This falls into the ldquoenrichmentrdquo portion of the day Students who arenrsquot excelling Well they get to participate in the ldquoremediationrdquo

Students who are struggling in class stay behind and receive individualized support from their teachers The one-on-one time granted to struggling students is invaluable in the public school system where class sizes always lean towards the large end of the spectrum

The whole process is planned by a team of teachers who work hard to ensure that students thrive in their education Renee Ouimette a biology teacher at Liberty explains that she is part of the leadership team and that she and her colleagues ldquocame up with this plan to reduce the number of struggling studentsrdquo

According to Ouimette research that she collected has shown steady progress in the classroom ldquoWe have been tracking that now for a couple of years and we have seen [the number of struggling students] reduce a little bit every semesterrdquo

School Students were led by their advisor Mrs Kriston Poe together her and her students put in many hours preparing for their 4th year of competition They competed in Cake Design Fashion Design Home Design CO2 Dragsters Product Marketing Video Production and Crime Scene Investigation Vistanciarsquos team had eight teams score in the top three in the various categories It was another successful year for Mrs Poe and her very talented Skills USA team

where they need to be and taking them further when they are already there Teachers also spend time before and after school tutoring small groups to give students the little boost they need As you walk through the school you can see joy and excitement amongst the faces Teachers staff and students are safe happy and engaged in a wonderful environment of learning

Stacy Jevnikar SecretaryldquoLake Pleasant is willing to try new and different things It is all about what is best for student growth and developing community relationships I have noticed that the professional development of teachers is taken very seriously ldquo

Isabella Cerda 4th grade ldquoWe are not zoned for the area but we come here anyway There is lots of laughter and learningrdquo

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

The Greatest Week of Golf ndash A Trip Down Memory (Magnolia) Lane

By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 700 to 900 am on Arizona Sports 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom click on the ldquoSports Talk button for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week

Annaliese Lara 2nd gradeldquoThe teachers and principals are really nice My teacher is really kind gives us more than one chance to do better things and she is really smartrdquo

Gabe Taylor 5th grade ldquoI like how we learn more things than I did at my last school We are more advanced My teacher really explains things until we get it and we wonrsquot go on until we dordquo

Tanner Birecki 8th gradeldquoThe teachers are really helpful and I enjoy going to school We have the opportunity to work at our own pace and level I am sure some schools donrsquot do thatrdquo

The Golf season officially begins with the greatest week of golf Thatrsquos right Masters Week is upon us and there

is nothing more beautiful then the setting at Augusta National From the dogwoods to the

azaleasrsquo to the tall pines lining the fairways there is no finer piece of country side then this Early in my professional career when I was an assistant golf professional at the Country Club of North Carolina I would drive down to Augusta and watch the practice rounds My first trip there I parked in the parking lot and hopped the fence to walk up Magnolia Lane What a sight The huge Magnolia trees that canopy over the drive in from Washington Avenue sent chills through me At the end of Magnolia Lane is the historic roundabout with the Masters logo done with yellow flowers with the Augusta National Flagstick I was typical tourist and had someone take my picture beside it Next stop was the practice area Sitting in the bleachers I watched Seve Greg Ben Arnie and Jack warming up for their practice round There was a lot of friendly exchange among them (These greats have all been replaced by guys like Tiger Phil Ricky Jordan Keegan and the likes) Then there was a still that came over the practice area as Sam Snead walked up to the practice tee Slamminrsquo Sammy and his caddie grabbed a couple of bags of practice balls and found a spot on the practice tee With that every player to a man stopped hitting and watched as Mr Snead began his warm-up session It was amazing to watch These guys were in awe of the legend

I decided to walk the entire golf course so I followed Seve Ballesteros David Graham Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw I am pretty sure they had a friendly wager The best part of walking with these guys is how casual they were You could ask them a question and they would

answer On the 7th hole the talent show began Seve was in the greenside bunker and hit away from the hole that was cut in the front portion of the green the ball landed and began rolling to the front of the green where it came to rest 2 feet from the hole An easy ldquoSeve Parrdquo Amen Corner is remarkable The gallery is all gathered behind the 12th tee From there you can see 11 green the 12th hole and 13 tee The 12th hole is far more intimidating in person than what you see during tournament coverage The 13th hole is stunning The dogwoods trees and azaleasrsquo are amazing to say the least All 4 players drove it around the corner on 13 25 years ago was still in the Persimmon era so the ball did not travel as far The second shots into the green were with 2 and 3 irons Today the guys use 5 to 7 irons At the 16th hole the guys hit their shots into the green and then each of them hit shots that skipped them off the lake and up onto the green The crowd went nuts Finally the 18th hole does not look anything today like it did back in 1985 The tee was 60 to 70 yards up from where it is today Today you hit through a shoot to the fairway In 1985 the bunkers on the left were in play and made the hole more difficult So while you are watching the most watched golf event annually imagine yourself in some of those areas of the golf course where I walked 30 years ago and you will know why this is the Greatest Week of Golf
