O
The Capital Christmas
Tree came from Arizona this year!
 It is tradition that one child from the tree’s state light the Capitol Christmas Tree with the Speaker of the House. Students who submitted ornaments for the outside tree were invited to submit a drawing form along with their ornament. The Capitol Christmas Tree 2009 student winner is Kaitlyn Ferencik from Surprise, Arizona. A seventh grade student at Canyon Ridge School, Kaitlyn traveled to Washington, D.C. with her parents Erika and Troy Ferencik and her teacher Natalie Moore. |

Twelve Days of Christmas Carole
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish. Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone |

Arizona Capitol
Museum Lunch Bunch A state of war existed between the United States and Spain on this date in 1898. Lasting from April to August, the Spanish-American War is often overlooked, but it is an essential part of Arizona history. Fighting with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in Cuba, the Arizona column of the Rough Riders proved the loyalty of the western territories and enhanced both Arizona’s image and chance for statehood. Please take this opportunity to meet Rough Rider re-enactors and learn the story of this unique conflict. Lunch Bunch is a free program about Arizona history and/or current events. Bring your lunch and enjoy coffee and cookies provided by the Museum Guild. Free admission and parking for Museum guests in Wesley Bolin Plaza at 17th Avenue and Washington. Entrance is on Washington.
For more information, go to: http://www.lib.az.us/museum/events.cfm or call 602.926.3620 The 55,000 square foot Museum, located at 1700 W. Washington in Phoenix, tells the story of Arizona’s history from Territorial Days to the present through more than twenty exhibits. It is part of the State Library, the oldest cultural institution in Arizona, dating to the organization of the Territory in 1863. The State Library is part of the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.
Local Job Growth in
Booming In-Home
Senior Care Industry “Senior care is a thriving industry with no sign of a slow down in sight,” says Peter Ross, CEO of Senior Helpers, the nation’s fastest growing provider of in-home senior care with offices locally and nationally. “We employ more than 6,000 caregivers nationally and we are hiring at most of our 283 locations. In-home care is recession-resistant, rewarding work that provides peace of mind for families who just can’t be with their senior loved ones all of the time.” WHY LOCAL JOB GROWTH IN SENIOR CARE?
“The burden usually falls on one of the adult children who already juggles a family, a job and all the responsibilities that go with their own life,” says Ross. “More and more seniors want to stay in their own homes and professional caregivers can make this possible by taking the burden off of adult children.” REWARDING WORK FOR AMERICANS – AN ECONOMIC BRIGHT SPOT Nichole Henry was out of work when she got the job as a Senior Helpers’ caregiver. She is studying to become a registered nurse (RN) and works helping elderly clients prepare meals, take their medication on time and simply listen when they want to talk. “I wanted a rewarding job and I’ve found my calling,” says Henry. “There is no job greater than helping others who can’t do for themselves. I listen to their concerns with an open heart and it makes all the difference in the world!” About Senior Helpers: Senior Helpers connects professional caregivers with seniors who wish to live at home as opposed to a nursing or assisted living facility. The company has 283 franchises in 39 states and one in Canada offering a wide range of personal and companion care services to assist seniors living independently with a strong focus on quality of life for the client and peace of mind for their families. Senior Helpers strives to be the leading companion and personal care provider that offers dependable, consistent and affordable home care.

The
Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel offers a year-round
whale watching package A Whale of a Package starts at $500 for garden/pool view accommodations. The package includes overnight accommodations, a 2-hour whale watching excursion with Dana Wharf Sportfishing, including an on-board snack and beverage, and American breakfast for two in the ocean front Restaurant 162’. From January through April, California Gray Whales leave the cold Arctic Seas and follow the coastline to the warm, calm waters of Southern California and Baja. This migration brings much of the pod past Dana Point, where the whales can be easily seen and photographed. Blue whales, the largest mammal ever to roam the earth, migrate to tropical waters to mate and give birth to their calves from May through November. The Blue whale migration also takes these amazing creatures past Dana Point. The Gray Whale are essentially black, but have a grayish appearance caused by the accumulation of marine parasites on their skin. They measure 30 to 45 feet as adults and weigh about a ton a foot. Gray Whales do not have a dorsal fin like other whales; instead they have a series of "knuckles" along the after portion of the back. The whales travel up to 12,000 miles every year from their feeding grounds in the cold arctic waters where to the warm, shallow lagoons of Baja California where they mate and bear their young. Twice hunted to near extinction, the Gray whale population has rebounded in the last 50 years to an estimated population of nearly 30,000 animals. Blue whales are an overall blue-gray color and are long and streamlined. Their dorsal fins are extremely small, and their pectoral flippers are long and thin. Blue whales are rorqual whales, a family of baleen whales with pleated throat grooves that expand when the animal takes in water while feeding. Blue whales can be up to 100 feet long, weigh as much as 150 tons and have been found in every ocean of the world. They swim individually or in small groups, and they are commonly seen traveling in pairs. Approximately 2,000 blue whales live off the California Coast and migrate to Mexico, and Costa Rica. The historic population of Blue whales, prior to commercial hunting, has been estimated at 200,000. Today there are anywhere from 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales in the world. The Blue whale is listed as endangered. Dana Wharf Sportfishing is dedicated to helping visitors enjoy the unique wonders of Dana Point Harbor and the Orange County coastline. The warm waters off of Dana Point flourish with sea life including whales, dolphin, harbor seals, and California sea lion. The thriving coastal waters provide bountiful fishing of sand bass, calico bass, halibut, bonito, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, albacore, and dorado. Consistently ranked among the best resorts in the world, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego and sits on a 150-foot bluff with panoramic white-water views of the Pacific Ocean and two-miles of sandy beach. For more information or reservations call 800-241-3333, the hotel directly at 949-240-2000, a travel professional or visit The Ritz-Carlton Web site at www.ritzcarlton.com.
March 19, 2010: When the sun sets on Saturday, March 20th, a special kind of night will fall across the Earth. It's an equal night. Or as an astronomer would say, "it's an equinox." It's the date when the sun crosses the celestial equator heading north. Spring begins in one hemisphere, autumn in the other. The day and night are of approximately equal length. To celebrate the occasion, Nature is providing a sky show.
The Moon and the Pleiades are having a close encounter of rare beauty. There's so little space between the two, the edge of the Moon will actually cover some of cluster's lesser stars. According to David Dunham of the International Occultation Timing Association, this is the best Moon-Pleiades meeting over the United States until the year 2023. Right: A similar Moon-Pleiades conjunction photographed by Marek Nikodem of Szubin, Poland, in July 2009. The Pleiades are a cluster of young stars some 440 light years from Earth. They formed from a collapsing cloud of interstellar gas about 100 million years ago. By the standards of astronomy, that's really young. The Earth under your feet is almost 50 times older. Dinosaurs were roaming our planet long before the Pleiades popped into being.
Only about seven of the Pleiades are visible to the unaided eye. The "Seven Sisters" are Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygete, Celaeno and Alcyone, named after daughters of the mythological Greek god Atlas. Together, they form the shape of a little dipper, which is why the Pleiades are often mistaken for the Little Dipper, an asterism of Ursa Minor. Binoculars are highly recommended for this event. First, scan the Moon. You'll see craters, mountains and lava seas. Note that you can see the entire Moon, not just the brightly-lit crescent. The Moon's dark terrain is illumined by a ghostly glow called "Earthshine." It is the light of our own blue planet shining down on the Moon. Next, scan the sky around the Moon. The Pleiades come into sharp focus---and they are more than seven. Dozens of faint "sisters" can be seen through even modest optics. This night doesn't sound equal. It sounds much better than that. Experience the equinox! Author: Dr. Tony Phillips | Credit: Science@NASA

New York, NY (March 4, 2010) - In an effort to bring attention to the impact a simple pair of shoes can have in a child’s life, TOMS Shoes announces its third annual One Day Without Shoes campaign that asks everyone worldwide to go barefoot on April 8th. Barefoot events around the world from Venice to Little Rock, Dubai to London have already been planned, with more in the works. On April 8th communities and individuals will be spreading awareness about the importance of shoes in parts of the world where children’s feet are exposed to debilitating diseases. So many of the world’s children in developing countries grow up without shoes, having to walk miles to get food and water, medical help, and attend school (which often require shoes as uniform). A leading cause of disease in these areas is soil-based parasites. Story Continues ARIZONA KANGEN - PUBLIC WELCOME!

Rembrandt’s
J’accuse
April
18, 1pm
In this essayistic documentary,
director Peter Greenaway fiercely criticizes
today's visual illiteracy through a forensic
examination of Rembrandt's The Night Watch.
He leads us through 17th century Amsterdam to
provide the masterwork's background, context and
the motives of all 34 painted characters who
have conspired to kill for their combined
self-advantage. He paints a world that is
democratic in principle but is almost entirely
ruled by 12 families whose outward signs of
charity and compassion hid a very different
reality. "Rembrandt's J’accuse is
an enthralling docudrama with juicy conspiracy
theories and forensic investigations worthy of
top-tier TV crime drama."

You
Don’t Know Jack
April
25, 1pmThis film tells the fascinating story of
pioneering American entertainer Jack Soo, an
Oakland native who became the first Asian
American to be cast in the lead role in a
regular television series (Valentine's Day)
and later starred in the popular comedy show
Barney Miller. Featuring rare footage and
interviews with Soo's costars and friends,
including actors George Takei, Nancy Kwan and
Max Gail, comedians Steve Landesberg and Gary
Austin, and producer Hal Kanter, You Don't
Know Jack traces his early beginnings as a
nightclub singer and comedian, to his
breakthrough role in Rogers and Hammerstein's
Broadway play and film version of The Flower
Drum Song. It also explores why Soo, a
former internee born Goro Suzuki, was forced to
change his name in order to perform post-World
War II Midwestern clubs. You Don't Know Jack
reveals how Soo's work laid the groundwork for a
new generation of Asian American actors and
comedians. Director Jeff Adachi attends the
screening.

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."
