I am so honored and grateful to have been re-elected to the Carefree Town Council.
Although it was an ugly and contentious election, it is over now and time to start the
healing.
For those of you who voted for me, I will do my best to prove that I am worthy of your trust. And to those who didn’t vote for me, I will work equally hard to prove that I can also listen and represent you honestly and fairly.
Sometimes it is hard to remember that our only goal is to make Carefree the best Town possible to live in, to do business in and to play in.
I hope we can all come together to bury our differences and to work together toward that goal.

What a glorious day for Carefree! Congratulations to all the hard working council members.
A special thank you to Mayor Crane who has done so very much for our beautiful town through the years. He is a dedicated & generous gentleman who did not deserve such a vicious campaign. I hope this kind of campaigning does not keep good candidates from running in the future.
Catherine Zindell
A heartfelt congratulations to Mayor elect John Crane & the other Carefree council members. Thank you for standing up to these agitators that move to our beautiful town & want to start unnecessary trouble.

Thanks for your efforts with "Carefree Truth" as it helped make a difference in allowing us ALL to see the TRUTH and not the distortions that many wanted to pass along during our elections. In particular your listings of two comments from residents stand out and should be read by ALL as they matter! Bottom line, your efforts were and are needed, and much appreciated! Thanks again!

Andres Martin,
I am very disappointed in your response on the green waste schedule change. You went from weekly to 2 weeks a quarter.
Now in order to dispose of green waste folks have to travel to I-17 and Happy Valley Rd.
It’s a 45 minute ride to that location. Not only does this burden the community but it also increases harmful emissions. The wait at the new site and poor efficiency with the staff leads to even further delays
Folks using this site are taking shortcuts thru neighborhoods or using Carefree Highway and I-17. This is leading to trash being blown onto the highways.
We are being encouraged to keep the properties clear of brush, dead trees etc. because of the high level of fire danger. Now because of the inconvenience you're causing, green waste is being piled on properties or being dumped in the desert, creating greater fire hazards.
You suggest to bag your green and dump it off. Not a good suggestion as it will just add more plastic to the landfills and increased methane gasses.
The result of this decision has a major impact on the environment.
So in order to make it more convenient, you doubled the prices at the new site??? From 12$ to 30$ for 10 foot trailer. Not to mention you have to be weighed and then put a $50 deposit and then return to get a $20 refund. What logistical genius thought of that? That site is a mess.
Maybe you can get some money from the 740 million dollar climate change act. Not only are you inconveniencing the citizens, you are negatively effecting the environment.
Phone calls to your offices only get the run around. Doug Ducey does not respond, no word from county supervisors. Maybe the next administration will hear the concerns of the people and make appropriate changes to stop these ridiculous decisions.
You have a lot of angry citizens, who are hoping you will reverse or amend these policies that is causing harm and inconvenience to the community.
Kind regards,
Rich Christopher
PS: The additional fuel on the ground is going to make our communities at risk for a much larger fire event.
I hope our community voices its concerns to you and in the upcoming elections. This madness has to stop.

Hello Mr. Christopher,Thank you for contacting us regarding changes to the green waste program. Below is some background on the proposed changes at the county's waste transfer stations.
Deer Valley Transfer Station
2130 W Adobe Dr, Phoenix 85024
(602) 268-2222
Mon-Fri 7am - 4pm
Republic Services
Cave Creek Transfer Station
1855 E Deer Valley Rd, Phoenix 85024
(602) 237-2078
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat 8am- 12pm
For your convenience, I have included information for bagged and bundled waste that is accepted all year at the Cave Creek Transfer Station. I have also included a schedule for when bulk green waste will be accepted in 2022 and 2023. The schedule also has days and hours of operation for the transfer station.
Thank you again for contacting us about the changes to the green waste program.

I have been following this string of emails, but, unfortunately, I have no one further which we could contact to help. I would, however, make the following observations:
- Maricopa County has responsibility for operating and funding waste transfer stations (and landfills) for the unincorporated portions of Maricopa County. They do not have responsibilities for waste collection within incorporated portions of the County (within municipalities). For example, Phoenix has its own waste collection and transfer stations and landfills, as does Scottsdale, etc., which they fund for their residents out of their overall budgets, primarily property taxes.
- Waste collection, waste transfer stations and landfills cost money. There is a cost for the property upon which it is located (Note: Carefree currently owns no property upon which a landfill could be built) and there is on-going annual staffing and maintenance costs. If you don’t have someone there to monitor what is being disposed of, things that are not allowed or are harmful to the environment will be deposited there by unscrupulous individuals.
- Carefree has no such waste collection and/or transfer station, primarily because there was/is no vacant land not close to residential or commercial buildings upon which to locate it and Carefree has no property tax with which to fund its annual operations costs.
- In the hierarchy of expenditures which Carefree would consider funding if it had additional funds, a landfill would probably be ranked lower than additional funding for schools, social services and transportation for the elderly, road maintenance, pedestrian crossings, etc.
- Maricopa County has until recently been agreeable to residents from incorporated areas of the County disposing of their bulk green waste in their landfills so long as their landfills could accommodate the disposed waste. Some of the landfills are now at or nearing their capacity, and Maricopa County, like virtually all other municipal entities, has been experiencing budget cutbacks. So the County is cutting back on both their acceptance of additional green waste and their budget. The reduced hours of acceptance of green waste directly flows from this.
- Many Carefree residents have their landscapers or other individuals dispose of green and other waste at third party landfills. There is a cost associated with third party landfills. For example, I live on a 1/2 acre property, and trimming trees and bushes and basically clearing the land of combustible green material this past Spring cost me over $1,800.00, $900.00 of which was for the disposal fee which included the third party landfill. Since Carefree has no property tax, I rationalized that this was a justifiable expenditure because I was not paying the Town or the County to operate and maintain a landfill.

Good morning -
Below is a thank you note from Dr. Monroe - would you be able to publish in your next issue of Carefree Truth? Thank you!

Ms. Hitchon -
My name is Cort Monroe and I am the Superintendent of the Cave Creek Unified School District.
I wanted to take a minute to thank Caroline Harbeck Farkas from Blondie Wolfe & Associates for her generous donation of furniture to our new Spanish Teacher. She moved here from Spain with her family to teach at Cactus Shadows High School and was looking for furniture.
We saw your Carefree Truth, Issue #1042, July 29, 2022 advertising Ms. Farkas' furniture and we forwarded the information on to the principal at Cactus Shadows High School, Mrs. Sarah Barela.
Long story short, Ms. Farkas was very patient with the back and forth arrangements - coming down to the Cactus Shadows High School principal and her husband meeting Ms. Farkas to pick up and deliver the furniture to the Spanish teacher.
Thank you, Ms. Farkas for your generous donation and for welcoming this family to the Cave Creek Unified School District family - One Team!

Hi Lyn,
Sorry that this took me longer than I expected. Thank you for all your help and support. I will keep you updated on my plans, etc. I will know by May 2023 if I am definitely running again in 2024. Right now, it is a yes!
Dear Carefree Voters,
I can never thank all of you enough who supported my run for State House. In just three short months of campaigning and as a political outsider, I received over 12,000 votes in our new LD3. Although not enough to secure one of the two House seats, I am humbled by the overwhelming support and I remain proud of the 100% positive campaign that I ran. It is not easy to remain consistent and positive in the face of baseless attacks by a challenger, but I have no regrets, and I am filled with gratitude for all your support.
Losing this race is not an end, it is only the beginning. I am not going anywhere and I see a bright future. You are my foundation of courage and together we will correct this current unsustainable political environment. As voters, "each of us is responsible for the quality of our government." We deserve positive, substantive, and solution-oriented debates from candidates and our elected officials. It is past time to raise the bar and provide voters with a choice.
Warm regards,
Nicole Cantelme

Hello Mr. Christopher,Thank you for contacting us regarding changes to the green waste program. Below is some background on the proposed changes at the county's waste transfer stations.
- The county operates six waste transfer stations. Per state statute (ARS 49-741), the county is required to operate waste transfer stations to collect residential solid waste from residents in unincorporated Maricopa County.
- The county does not operate any open landfills but maintains the county landfills that have been closed.
- Before July 2022, three transfer stations, including the Cave Creek transfer station, accepted bulk green waste.
- The Cave Creek transfer station accepted bulk green waste because it was ground and applied to the landfill cap to assist with erosion control. The maximum amount of green waste material that can be added to the cap of the Cave Creek landfill has been reached. Therefore, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (EDS) can no longer use ground material at the Cave Creek landfill.
- To reduce the risk of fire posed by large stockpiles of green waste, the green waste collected at the Cave Creek Transfer Station must now be transported by Maricopa County to a third-party (i.e., not county-owned) landfill for disposal.
- To reduce the amount of green waste on site (and associated fire risk), ESD has moved to quarterly bulk green waste disposal services at transfer stations for all residential green waste. Bulk green waste is now accepted for two weeks every quarter. These are the last two weeks of January, April, July, and October.
- To offset the cost associated with transporting the waste to a third-party landfill, ESD initiated an Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program case to propose increasing green waste fees for trucks and trailers to offset the increased costs ($12 to $26.75 for pick-up trucks and $12 to $40.00 for trailers). Proposed fees were determined by analyzing program costs and evaluating green waste disposal services offered by private and public providers. More info can be found at https://www.maricopa.gov/2838/Enhanced-Regulatory-Outreach-Program-ERO and is case number ES-2022-001.
- Cave Creek residents can also take their green waste directly to other nearby landfills, including:
Deer Valley Transfer Station

American Legion Post 34 to honor National POW/MIA Recognition Day with special event
Faces of Freedom, American Legion Post 34’s theme for its 75th anniversary, will host a unique evening event to pay homage to National POW/MIA Recognition Day on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 6 PM.
In the United States, the third Friday in September honors POWs and MIAs. Each year since 1989, a presidential proclamation brings the nation together to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by the military men and women who are imprisoned or unaccounted for as a result of their military service. Approximately 82,000 Americans remain missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf War and other conflicts.
The American Legion is committed to the return of living POWs, repatriation of the remains of the fallen from war zones abroad, or a determination through convincing evidence that neither is possible. Post members and the public are invited to gather in the Al Morgan Hall for this formal occasion featuring guest speaker Tom Kirk, a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot in Korea, and Vietnam, including spending five-and-a-half years in the Hanoi Hilton. Following the keynote speaker, there will be a toast to the missing while enjoying some incredible appetizers. This event is open to the public.

American Legion Post 34 is a non-secular, non-political organization.
Cave Creek Museum to participate in annual Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day
Cave Creek Museum will be part of Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day on Saturday, September 17 from 1-4:30 PM. Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day is an annual celebration of curiosity hosted by Smithsonian magazine. Participating museums, like the Cave Creek Museum, provide free entry to anyone who presents a Museum Day ticket (up to two people). Tickets may be acquired by visiting smithsonianmag.com.
“This event provides the public with a first peek at new exhibits,” says Evelyn Johnson, the museum’s executive director. “Museum lovers from around the Valley come to check out what we have and plan for a return trip if they have downloaded passes to evaluate several museums,” adds Johnson. “Or, they stay to see our exhibits thoroughly. It is a fun day to show off history and suggest upcoming events.”
Museum Day represents a national commitment to access, equality and inclusion goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors – it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities. This year, Museum Day….TBD

As part of the update, residents and visitors will discover pottery, projectile points, stone tools and other artifacts from excavations at Spur Cross Ranch during the 1980s. These items will be on loan from Arizona State University.
“One wall in the Archaeology Wing is dedicated to a collaboration between Cave Creek Museum and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s Huhugam Ki Museum. This unique wall tells their story and contains items from their culture.
Visitors will be amazed at the beautifully and newly constructed pottery and fragile, expertly woven baskets used for carrying and storing items for everyday use. People will learn the cultural importance of these objects in ceremonial uses by ancient people.
Cave Creek Museum’s archaeological section is proud to feature a Hohokam house (a life size replica) that is built from materials native to high desert landscapes. Johnson says the museum model represents home materials found at the Seats Kay Ruins east of the town of Cave Creek.
Cave Creek Museum is looking for volunteers to work with exhibits, like those in the Archaeological Wing, as well as joining in activities that are planned throughout the summer and the upcoming season.
“Even though the museum closes briefly during summer, we will be very busy preparing for the new season,” says Evelyn Johnson, interim executive director. “For volunteers, it is fun and interesting work and a great opportunity to learn about the exhibits and the museum’s famed history. Our volunteers love spending time here.”

Cave Creek Museum to participate in annual Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day
Cave Creek Museum will be part of Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day on Saturday, September 17 from 1-4:30 PM. Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day is an annual celebration of curiosity hosted by Smithsonian magazine. Participating museums, like the Cave Creek Museum, provide free entry to anyone who presents a Museum Day ticket (up to two people). Tickets may be acquired by visiting smithsonianmag.com.
“This event provides the public with a first peek at new exhibits,” says Evelyn Johnson, the museum’s executive director. “Museum lovers from around the Valley come to check out what we have and plan for a return trip if they have downloaded passes to evaluate several museums,” adds Johnson. “Or, they stay to see our exhibits thoroughly. It is a fun day to show off history and suggest upcoming events.”
Museum Day represents a national commitment to access, equality and inclusion goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors – it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities. This year, Museum Day….TBD
