Integrity needs no rules."
—
Albert Camus, French author
and philosopher (1913-1960).
Happy
holidays will be a lot happier if everyone remains
sound and healthy. Too often though, holiday
excitement comes from the rush to the first aid
cabinet or even the emergency room.
Besides
a politician and a town founder, Marshall’s list of
friends included an Academy Award winner: Ben Johnson.
Marshall called Johnson, who acted in “The Wild Bunch,”
“Shane,” “ Junior Bonner” and other westerns “one of the
best storytellers.” The two men camped together in
Monument Valley for a week for an “Arizona Highways”
piece that Marshall was writing about the actor.
“Other than his loud snoring, we had a very wonderful
time,” Marshall said. “You met him and it felt like you
knew him all your life.” Marshall said that when he
heard the news of Johnson’s death in 1996 he had to pull
his car off to the side of the road to gather his
thoughts. “He was just that kind of guy. I’ll never
forget him.”

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE ARIZONA EVENT DETAILS:
Herpetologist Brady Barr Dangerous Encounters with Dr. Brady Barr Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - Reptile expert Dr. Brady Barr is the first person ever to capture and study all 23 species of crocodilians in the wild. Recently, the National Geographic Channel created a special TV program, Dangerous Encounters: Countdown Croc, celebrating this historic achievement. What has driven Barr for 15 years through 50 countries is a desire to save these crocs in the wild and to help crocs and humans coexist peacefully. At present, nearly one third of all croc species are considered endangered. One of the 23 species he has captured, the wild Siamese crocodile, was thought to be functionally extinct in the wild. Barr is a longtime on-air contributor to National Geographic, working as a field specialist on National Geographic Explorer since 1997, hosting Reptile Wild with Dr. Brady Barr from 2001 through 2002 and recently, hosting Dangerous Encounters on the National Geographic Channel. His early research on alligator diet and eating habits helped spawn conservation efforts in the Everglades, contributing to the preservation of Florida’s unique ecosystem. Barr’s infectious sense of humor combined with both his experiences teaching high school zoology, biology and life sciences and his ease in front of the camera make him an engaging presenter for any audience.

Nobel Prize Winners Who Crack Us
Up The Nobel Prize is awarded each year in October. It is usually a serious and often somber event meant to highlight someone fighting for peace or justice. David Pratt, author of the book "The Impossible Takes Longer; The 1,000 Wisest Things Ever Said By Nobel Prize Laureates" (Walker & Company, 2007) fills his book with poignant, thought-provoking and emotional quotes. "But let¹s be honest," he says, "sometimes the smartest people say or do the dumbest things." Like the most recent Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore who said, "The future will be better tomorrow." The 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics winner Niels Bohr explained of the horseshoe hanging above his door, "I certainly do not believe in superstition. But you know, they say it does bring luck even if you don¹t believe in it!" Then there is the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine winner, James Watson, who collected his prize for his groundbreaking work on DNA and promptly went on to research the all important effects of sunshine on the sex drive. "These are amazing men and women," says Pratt. "They did amazing things. They changed the world. And some of them made us laugh" Abdus Salam was the 1979 winner for Physics. He was also Muslim who brought both of his wives to Stockholm for the ceremonies. "It created quite a stir," says Pratt. "Because of protocol there was only one chair." Some of the Laureates used laughter to make a point. 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi was once leading a peaceful demonstration when nearby soldiers seemed about to fire on the crowd. She continued marching saying, "We are grateful to those who are giving the people practice in being brave." Humorous stupidity isn't always the Laureates fault. The 1956 Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine, Werner Forssmann, got fired for trying out a medical gizmo on himself. That gizmo' turned out to be the first heart catheter. The 1962 Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry was commissioned as part of a secret war project to make ice strong enough for a plane to land on it. Max Perutz's invention was unveiled to the top brass and an over-eager colonel pulled out his sidearm to see if the bullets would penetrate the super-hard ice. "They didn¹t. Three of the generals were wounded by the ricochets." Behind every brilliant man there is a wife fretting he¹s stupid without her guidance. Such was the case with Dr. Barry Marshall. "He was so convinced bacteria caused ulcers he drank a batch of it. He was right, he got sick. His wife was furious, but Marshall went on to win the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1995." Among the 1,000 inspirational, poignant and uplifting quotes in Pratt¹s book is that of Werner Heisenberg, the inventor of the Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics. The epitaph he composed for his tombstone reads, "He lies here, somewhere." "These are brilliant people," says Pratt. "I admire them all. The 1975 Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry once played chess blindfolded against 12 players simultaneously and won 8 games." He doesn¹t want anyone to lose sight of the Laureates¹ accomplishments, "The prize is intended to point the world¹s attention to an issue. It¹s intended to protect the person brave enough to stand up for peace and justice. These are great human beings and if laughter points our attention at them so that we can learn from their brilliance then that's a prize we can give to ourselves." About David Pratt David Pratt was born in England in 1939. He attended Oxford University, Harvard University, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. Pratt is a former teacher and lecturer with the life long passion to collect unusual quotes from Nobel Laureates.

NEW PLAY
ABOUT KURT AND GERDA KLEIN IN DEVELOPMENT AT THEATER 4301 Jan. 14–16, 2009 Wednesday and Thursday @ 7:30 p.m., Friday @ 8 p.m.
Theater 4301, Galleria Corporate Centre, Scottsdale Single tickets are available for $25 through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts’ Web site at www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or the box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787). The result of a two-week collaborative development session at Theater 4301, Inside the Creative Process offers the public a behind-the-scenes look at an innovative new play, Gerda’s Lieutenant, which is based on the love letters of 84-year-old Scottsdale resident and Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein and her late husband Kurt Klein. The couple met in the spring of 1945, when Kurt, a German-born American soldier, liberated Gerda from six years under Nazi rule – and then fell deeply in love with her. Inside the Creative Process will feature scenes by the ensemble cast and discussions with Director Leigh Fondakowski (head writer and director of numerous productions of The Laramie Project) as well as playwrights Bennett Singer and Ellen Gordon Reeves, the cast, creative team and members of the Klein family. Actress Lynn Cohen (Golda Meir in Steven Spielberg’s film Munich and Magda in the television and feature film productions of Sex and the City) and her husband actor Ron Cohen will play Gerda and Kurt. They will be joined on stage by Chicago-based actress Kelli Simpkins (The Laramie Project/Tectonic Theater Company) and the locally cast Scottsdale ensemble. The play shifts between past and present, showing Gerda in public and private moments at home, as everyday objects and actions trigger memories of her extraordinary past. GERDA AND KURT KLEIN In 1939, 15-year-old Gerda Weissmann’s life changed forever as German troops invaded her hometown of Bielsko, Poland. After being forced to live in the basement of her childhood home for nearly three years, Gerda was separated from her parents and brother. She spent the next three years in a succession of slave-labor and concentration camps, until she was forced to walk in a 350-mile death march in which 2,000 women were subjected to exposure, starvation and arbitrary execution and fewer than 120 of them survived. Klein’s account of her experience is documented in her classic autobiography All But My Life, which is now 51 years in print in 62 editions. It was the basis for the Oscar- and Emmy-winning HBO documentary One Survivor Remembers. One of the most remarkable chapters in Gerda’s life began when her future husband, Kurt Klein, a U.S. Army intelligence officer – and himself a refugee from Germany – liberated her in May 1945. Their story of meeting, falling in love and living together as husband and wife has been featured on numerous television shows, including Oprah, 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning. Kurt’s story is chronicled in the acclaimed PBS documentary America and the Holocaust: Deceit and Indifference. A book of their letters, The Hours After: Letters of Love and Longing in War’s Aftermath – a poignant collection of correspondence between Gerda and Kurt Klein following the war – is the inspiration for the play Gerda’s Lieutenant. In 2004, Gerda Klein released A Boring Evening at Home. This book of essays offers glimpses into her life and into the thoughts that have always vindicated her belief that the most treasured place on earth is home and that the most desirable aim for people is to spend “a boring evening” there with family. The book is dedicated to her late husband, to whom she was married for 56 years. The Kleins’ story is portrayed in the film Testimony, a permanent exhibit at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. In 1998, the Kleins founded the Gerda and Kurt Klein Foundation, which is dedicated to teaching tolerance, lessening prejudice and encouraging young people to engage in meaningful community service. The Klein Foundation partnered with Southern Poverty Law Center and TIME Classroom to create two teaching kits that address the issues of anti-Semitism and intolerance in a larger context. To date, there have been more than 122,000 requests for these unique educational curricula. These materials are available at no charge to every school/educator upon request and have also been distributed to the United Nations and countries around the world. SPECIAL RECEPTIONS The following receptions will be held during the run of Inside the Creative Process.

SISTER THROWS A 'LATE NITE' CHRISTMAS
PARTY AT THEATER 4301
Sister's
Christmas Catechism: November 28-December 21, 2008 Presented at Theater 4301, Galleria Corporate Centre, Scottsdale
Single tickets are available for $38 through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' Web site at www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or the box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787). Described as "Forensic Files goes to Bethlehem," Sister's Christmas Catechism stars Patti Hannon as the cranky but lovable nun 'Sister,' who has now taken on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages: whatever happened to the Magi's gold? "We know that Mary used the frankincense and myrrh as a sort of potpourri - they were in a barn after all," she explains.
Assisted by a local choir and a gaggle of audience members, Sister directs an unforgettable living nativity and employs her own CSI-inspired tools to find the culprit. With gifts galore and bundles of laughs, Sister's Christmas Catechism is a sinfully funny alternative to traditional holiday fare.
Sister's Christmas Catechism was written by Maripat Donovan, the creator of the popular Late Nite Catechism comedies, with Jane Morris and Marc Silvia. 99.9 KEZ is the show's media sponsor.
PERFORMANCE TIMES November 28-December 21, 2008 Thursdays @ 7:30 p.m. Fridays @ 8 p.m.
Saturdays @ 2
p.m. and 8 p.m.
NOTE: Late Nite Catechism III: 'Til Death Do Us Part will not be performed during the run of Sister's Christmas Catechism, but will resume its regular weekly schedule in Stage 2 Theater at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts following the close of Sister's Christmas Catechism at Theater 4301.
BE A SHINING STAR IN SISTER'S CHOIR Sister is still looking for a few good (or even not-so-good) volunteer singers to fill her choir. Each choir should have between six and ten singers and be willing and able to perform traditional Christmas carols on stage with Sister for one or more evenings during the run of Sister's Christmas Catechism at Theater 4301. No auditions are required - just a little holiday cheer and a good sense of humor! If you are interested in putting together a choir please contact Ally Haynes at (480) 874-4681 or allyh@sccarts.org to reserve a date.
GIVE A HELPING HAND
During the run of
Sister's Christmas Catechism, patrons are invited to bring a
non-perishable food item to Theater 4301 for donation to the food
bank at Vista del Camino Community Center in Scottsdale. PATTI HANNON Patti Hannon performed Late Nite Catechism in Boston, Chicago and New York before moving to Arizona in 2000 to star in the production at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, which lasted a record-breaking eight years. She also starred in the show's sequel, Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are Guilty, which ran for four years in Scottsdale starting in 2004. Hannon currently stars in the all-new Late Nite Catechism III: 'Til Death Do Us Part , which debuted at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in October. Originally a Chicago actor, Hannon has a flair for improvisation and has written for and performed with Hit and Run and Bit Players. She earned Joseph Jefferson citations for her roles as Lil in Ask for the Moon and Lorette in Between Daylight and Booneville and a special AriZoni Award for Late Nite Catechism's longevity. When not performing as Sister, Hannon teaches improvisation and acting to school children as a member of the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' education department.
LOCATION AND PARKING Theater 4301 is located in the Galleria Corporate Centre at 4301 Scottsdale Rd. on the corner of Drinkwater Boulevard and Fifth Avenue in downtown Scottsdale, one block east of Scottsdale Road. Free parking is available in the Galleria Corporate Centre parking garage.

The Spirit of the Old West Alive Bob Boze Bell Interview Featured November19th at Bison Western Museum The 3000 Club Food Rescue benefits from auction
(SCOTTSDALE) – The Spirit of the Old West Alive lecture series continued November 19th, the second in the series to honor people who have “kept the spirit of the old west alive”. Bob Boze Bell Executive Editor of True West Magazine was center stage and offered some candid insight to events never before discussed as he was interviewed about his life and times in Arizona. “I don’t know if I can say this if there are kids in the audience,” Bell sheepishly confided. His story continued about how the “P” word got one of his books pulled from a bookstore for indecency when a customer complained. The audience laughed at the absurdity of the situation and at the endless quips Bell let loose in the 2 hours on stage. The Spirit of the Old West Alive (SOWA) was founded by LeeAnn Sharpe with the purpose of collecting oral histories. “Too often we see the passing of significant people in our history without their stories being recorded. It means so much more to hear their stories directly from the individual. To hear their voice, to see their body language and pick up on their personality,” Sharpe comments. These video taped interviews will be available as DVD’s and online for research. Why Bell? “We have to honor those people who have impacted our western experience. Bob Boze Bell has written a number of books on old west characters, created western art, and brought a publication, True West, back to life and introduced the history of the west to a whole new generation.” Bison Western Museum is an excellent partner in the SOWA program as their goal is also related to gathering history of the southwest. The lectures are presented in their theatre seating 125 people. With the gorgeous museum upstairs for guests to explore while enjoying a buffet of hor d’ouveres and a cocktail, the location is about as enjoyable as possible. (www.bisonhomes.com ) Also sponsoring the event is the Wild West Gazette dedicated to promoting Arizona history, education and tourism. Sharpe as Editor of the publication had little trouble convincing Publisher Sid Hagel to jump onboard. The current November issue of Wild West Gazette boldly depicts the first two lectures in the series. ( www.wildwestgazette.com ) The 3000 Club Food Rescue (www.the3000club.org) was a beneficiary of a third of the evenings receipts. The 3000 Club Food Rescue, with founder Lon Taylor and Ethel Luzario, do incredible work transporting produce that can not make it to market to food banks that would be otherwise sent to landfills. Their program makes a major impact feeding the hungry with high quality nutritious produce. A portion of the proceeds from the SOWA lecture will support their efforts. Taylor took the stage to describe the work they do in these much needed times. He told how they had lost a major sponsor and needed to raise $30,000 to replace that income to keep the project going. “We need 3000 members to donate as little as $100 to make this happen,” Taylor commented. The audience responded with questions of how to join. The website above has an application online. Or call 602-549-1011. The next lecture will be January 7th and honor Wyatt Earp Grandnephew of the famous lawman. as one of the people who keep the “Spirit of the Old West Alive.” Earp has preserved the family history and performs a one man show. He has traveled the world with his show and certainly is deserving of this honor. Bison Western Museum is located at 16641 N. 91st St., Scottsdale, AZ (just north of Bell Road) Parking is free and admission is a $15 donation to benefit our selected charities. Doors open at 5PM, Cocktail hour begins at 6pm and the program will begin at 7pm and last until 9pm. (www.spiritoftheoldwestalive.com ) |

Jeffrey Siegel’s Keyboard Conversations are a unique, concert-plus-commentary format in which he speaks to the audience about the music before performing each work. New listeners have greeted these programs with enormous enthusiasm because they present an informal, accessible and highly entertaining introduction to the vast repertoire of the piano and to classical music in general. Seasoned music-lovers have been enriched by Siegel’s erudition and delighted by his wit.

Macular
Degeneration Ophthalmology Times has reported in Scottsdale, AZ study results from analyses of data collected in the HORIZON study after 1 year indicate that most patients who begin intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech) therapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) need treatment beyond 2 years. The ongoing therapy continues to be relatively safe and well tolerated, but its efficacy appears to wane, at least when administration is switched to an "as-needed" dosing regimen after the first 2 years.

Review of COYOTE DREAMS: A VERY ARIZONA CHRISTMAS
The laughs are non-stop with every aspect of Arizona covered. The six actors take on various roles and take us on a journey around the state. Stuart wrote some very creative lyrics to traditional holiday tunes including, “Have Yourself a Tacky Tombstone Christmas”, “Oh Little Town Built by Del Webb”, “Santa Baby” sung by a jail bird inviting Sheriff Joe Arpaio to “come on down to my cell tonight”. And Sun City seniors would enjoy "Silver Hairs," to the tune of Silver Bells. Arizona students can appreciate "All I Want for Christmas is No AIMS Testing." He takes plenty of swings at Arizona sports as well. Attend only if you are ready for good laughs! Cast Photo Front Row - Lindsay Urbank (Glendale) as Lena Johnson, Wade Moran (Tempe) as Carl Johnson, Back Row from left to right - Harriet Fusaro (Sun City West) as Greta, Kevin Young (Peoria) as Omar, Heather Cambanes (Phoenix) as Brittany, Mike DeBusk (Phoenix) as Myke. Josiah Laubenstein (Scottsdale) is also in the cast playing the role of Myke but is only performing in The Encore Room at Arizona Broadway Theatre. _____________________________________________________________________________

Mesa celebrates light rail grand opening “It All Starts Here!” presented by SRP and the Mesa Convention and Visitors Bureau is the theme of Mesa’s official light rail grand opening celebration Saturday, Dec. 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sycamore Transit Center, located near Main Street and Dobson Road. Up to 30,000 are expected to attend the event. A ceremony at 9:40 a.m. will officially open the light rail trains to the public. Hosted by Mesa City Manager Chris Brady, the ceremony will include brief comments from Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, Mesa District 3 Councilmember Dennis Kavanaugh, Metro Light Rail CEO Rick Simonetta and Valley Metro Executive Director Dave Boggs. The first 500 people to arrive at the ceremony will receive a free commemorative T-shirt. “We’re celebrating a new era in transportation in Mesa,” Mayor Scott Smith said. ”Metro will link communities across the Valley, and Mesa is proud to be part of the first light rail line in Arizona. Light rail will play a big role in our goal of building a better Mesa.” In addition to the free rides on the light rail train between Dec. 27 and Dec. 31, there will also be free rides on Valley Metro LINK. Mesa is the first community to have Valley Metro LINK, a state-of-the-art transit service with rail-like comfort, speed and reliability. It will serve a 12- mile corridor, running from the Superstition Springs Park-and-Ride connecting to METRO rail at the Sycamore Transit Center. “It All Starts Here!” presented by SRP and the Mesa Convention and Visitors Bureau will offer a variety of food, information and entertainment. There will be food and beverage vendors along with business and nonprofit organizations having displays. Several City of Mesa departments will provide information on programs and services. Live entertainment will include Grand Funk Railroad, one of the top rock groups of the 1970s, as the headlining act. Local bands The Chadwicks, Rock Lobster and SRP’s Second Shift will also perform during the celebration. Entertainment will also include a classic car show and a kids zone featuring Dance Dance Revolution contests sponsored by Mesa Fit City, an arts and crafts area sponsored by the Arizona Museum for Youth, a bounce house and a game truck. With the exception of limited City services, the event is entirely funded by businesses and organizations in the community. Along with Mayor Smith and other Mesa dignitaries who will ride the inaugural light rail train is a Mesa couple celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary that day. Jimand Linda Crumpton are long-time Mesa residents who have dreamed of riding a train together. For Linda Crumpton, it is her first train ride.

The text of Gov. Jan Brewer's inaugural
address Wednesday, as released by her
office:
Honorable Governor Castro, Governor Mofford, Governor Symington, Governor Hull.
Mr. Speaker and Mr. President, Madame Chief Justice and associate justices, Incoming Secretary Bennett, General Goddard, Superintendent Horne, Treasurer Martin, Mine Inspector Hart, Commissioner Pierce, Commissioner Stump, and Commissioner Kennedy, members of the Legislature, and honored guests . . .
I'm grateful for your presence and your lasting support over so many years. Among your faces I see not only the colleagues of countless political seasons, but the friendships of a lifetime. Let me also thank Pastor Spicer for your uplifting words and for being a constant source of inspiration for me and my family. And of course, let me thank my wonderful supportive family
_ Dr. John Brewer a true pillar of strength he continues to stand side-by-side with me as we walk down life's path together. My children, John (may god bless his soul), Ron, and Michael your love and constant support help sustain me through everything we confront in life.
_ And to my brother and rest of my family, it means a great deal to me that you traveled here for this event, thank you for being here as well.
I also must extend a sincere thanks to Secretary Napolitano — see, we've traded titles — for her service to the state; and offer prayers and good will in her vitally important position with our new president.
One reason life is such a delightful adventure is that we never know exactly what it will bring. No one ever knew it would bring me here. But one thing is certain: there's no place I would rather be.
Of course this turn of events has not been cause for universal celebration. In some quarters this inauguration feels a good deal more like an interruption. And in a few ways — good ways, we can hope — it will be. But I pledge today to be a governor for all of Arizona, and to lead our state to better times. Together, we will do what we have to do, without pettiness or melodrama or misplaced regard to party, and we will succeed.
At a government's new hour we normally find ourselves uplifted by possibility. But today, we find ourselves weighed down with obligation — overdue obligation. We are gathered amid uncertain times, with a difficult work before us.
In some ways this feels like you've just shown up for a party — but the guests have all gone, only the caterer is left and she immediately hands you the bill.
But let's be clear about one thing. Authentic public service — rendered so faithfully by so many here today — does not return barren. Even in hard times, we must do good work, in honest trust with those we serve, and the people will thank us for it. For decades, the abundance generated by free, hardworking Americans has allowed government to remain in the habit of growing, and in recent years to grow even more rapidly. But today, neither prudence nor our Constitution will allow this to continue in our state. We have all been seated to preside over that rarest of political happenings: our government is going to get smaller.
We know this, and so do the people we serve.
Here is the situation. Essentially, for this and the next fiscal year, the people who do the work, provide the tax dollars and count on our performance were told we would have about $21 billion dollars to spend on their government.
In reality, we aren't going to have that at all. We are going to be a little short — somewhere on the order of $4 billion short.
That's a lot of money, but there will be no time for gloom or further denial. We know the necessary reductions in state spending will not occur without impact to people's lives and livelihoods. Our task is to minimize that impact as much as we can, even as we keep our state moving toward a brighter future. I'm a gardener at heart, and over the years I've noticed a few things that gardening and governing share in common. To grow beautiful things, you must have good seeds and provide water and sunshine; and then you have to control the weeds, spray the pests and run off the rabbits. Having served there, doesn't that sound a bit like the legislature to you?
But every gardener also knows that some pruning from time to time leads to greater fruit.
Building a budget is a zero-sum game. We must make an honest accounting of the expected revenues, set priorities for expenditures and retain a prudent ending balance and cash reserve.
But building an economy that supports that spending is absolutely not a zero-sum game. Even while we focus on the process of two budgets, we must act with bold determination to put Arizona's economy back on its feet, increase opportunity, and secure the futures of our people.
My fellow Arizonans, it is important to remember that we cannot budget our way to prosperity, and still less, we will not attain prosperity by taxing our way there either. Our first calling at this capitol is to generate capital — to call forth the creativity, determination and entrepreneurial spirit that made these United States the most prosperous great power in the history of the world.
I'm therefore pleased to report that the legislative leadership, my transition team and I are not sitting idle while the new government in Washington plans another trillion dollars in deficit spending. No, we are planning a massive stimulus package of our own, to make Arizona the most economically vibrant place in the world. And just like the clever folks in Washington, we have a catchy name for it: It's called "freedom." Yes, we must keep our tax and regulatory burdens low, something I have stood for throughout my 26 years in public life.
We must make sure that beleaguered businesses in California and other such overtaxed places hear the music of our commerce and our culture and see brighter prospects in the cities and towns across Arizona.
But that is not nearly enough. In every way we can, we must make our people free.
Free to work and earn a living, to build a business, to build a life. Free to find and speak the truth about their government, and those who would lead it. Free from crime and violence and lawlessness of all kinds.
Free to move from place to place, across town or across the world, without gridlock and endless frustration. Free to choose the schools their children will attend, and to find a safe and sound learning environment in every public institution. Free to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and to contemplate the hand of God in the forms and colors of our breathtakingly beautiful state, and upon the hearts of its diverse people.
Free to pursue an authentic higher education in our great research universities and our community colleges, at a cost that will not leave them under a crushing debt.
These freedoms, no less than others enumerated in our nation's founding documents, are what made this land great across nearly two-and-a-half centuries. Freedom is not a mere word, but the purpose and calling of mankind. It ennobles us. It has been the inspiration of a nation, the animation of a great and distinguished people called Americans, and the hope of cherished youth who have fought and died in distant places, so that we might keep it and know its blessings.
And so surely we who labor at this capitol can do our part to protect freedom, too.
Like so many Americans I am a sports fan. I long for the thrill of the game, and I love the courage and competitive intelligence of great athletes. What a wonderful example our very own Super Bowl bound Arizona Cardinals have been, in that regard. One thing many great athletes can tell you is this: When you are struggling, return to the fundamentals. Get the fundamentals right, and the strong performance follows.
In America our fundamental value, our lodestar and our true north, is freedom. Our greatest struggles, and gravest sins, have come when we have valued freedom too little, or coldly denied its promise to others. Consider the symmetry in the present crisis — a struggling nation, with a haunting chapter in its past, has just proudly inaugurated its first African-American President. To better times, we will find no surer path than freedom.
My path to this platform today has not been paved with privilege. When I was a little girl, my widowed mother supported my brother and I with a small dress shop. From the time I was 10 years old, I helped my mother, always learning along the way. Later in life I worked in a number of jobs, none of which were necessarily glamorous. I have come to know want, and worry, and the anxiety that touches so many people around our state today.
But I know with all certainty that we will make our stand, and soon we will be living out our finest days. We will get there by the light of Lady Margaret Thatcher, who helped Ronald Reagan to save freedom in the 20th Century. "Our policy," she said, "is not built on envy or hatred, but on liberty for the individual man or woman. It is not our policy to suppress success; our policy is to encourage it, and encourage energy and initiative."
It's a widely and sometimes bitterly held view that Arizona has been living high off its growth for the past 25 years, and there is some truth in that. But it's also true that going forward, we will still be living off our growth — but less the growth of our suburbs, and more the growth of our people.
In 20th Century Arizona, land was king, as we planted and mined and built our way through adolescence as a state. Those things will continue to be critical pillars of our economy. But in 21st Century Arizona talent will be king — or queen, if you'd rather — and we will both cultivate and attract it through freedom. This is the ancient cause and the common cry that can unite us for our present works.
Together we will succeed in this cause, and I look forward to serving you and our great state. Thank you, and may God continue to bless each of you and every Arizonan across our land.

| March 26 – 29, 2009 | Arizona Theatre Company presents The Guthrie Theater and The Acting Company’s production of. King Henry V by William Shakespeare directed by Davis McCallum Phoenix: March 26 – 29, 2009 Tucson: April 2 – 5, 2009 Young, restless and ambitious, Henry V inherits a troubled crown and seeks to secure his position at home by launching a hasty invasion of France. The charismatic warrior King’s aggressive pursuit of the French crown earns him iconic status, uniting England and France and briefly banishing the civil strife that will long outlive him. This Shakespearean epic expertly balances the thrilling heroics of battle with the painful and complex reactions of men who are sometimes unsure of the justice of their cause. KING HENRY V is a rousing, fascinating story about the power of courage and the price of glory. | Arizona Theatre Company |

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is
unique and will appeal to all, regardless of one¹s faith.
Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are
Guilty By Maripat
Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second
catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty."
