Good

Advice!

If you find yourself lost while hiking, stranded in a broken-down car, or in any other emergency situation....Before your cell phone runs low or out of power, change the voicemail message to include the following information:

1.    Your situation (lost, injured, out-of-gas, broken-down)

2.    Approximate location

3.    Time/Date

Include any other pertinent information such as whether you’re staying where you are or going in search of help and, if so, in which direction.

Remember, if your cell phone dies or stops working, voicemail continues to work. Anyone calling or looking for you will hear the message and know how to best get help to you.

Supporting Our Locals Corner

Supporting Local Merchants

When the temps go UP, the numbers of visitors to our town go DOWN.

And, so does business for the local merchants we love.

Summer season is when supporting local merchants is most important!

Remember...Cave Creek shops and restaurants are the BEST for something special that can't be found anywhere else! Plus, they're convenient and friendly, too.

We love our local shops, restaurants, and services. Let's be sure to support them, especially during their slow season.



SHOP LOCAL!

We love you!

Volunteering: Is It for Me?

By N. Spitzer

We all know friends and family members who volunteering in their community. We may wonder what they get out of it and why they would work without pay. On the other hand, we may admire and respect their efforts, but think, “That’s great for them, but it’s just not for me.” And, why not?

A thought might be that volunteering is just for retirees. Not true.

Many companies provide volunteering incentives for full-time employees because volunteering both teaches and reinforces work skills, promote diversity and equity, as well as enforces a sense of commitment and purpose. According to Goodera, a company managing corporate volunteering, “Studies have shown that up to 90% of employees who volunteer are more likely to be engaged, have a positive attitude at work, and feel more connected to the company’s mission and values.” All good reasons for corporate support of volunteering. Out of work? Volunteering provides on-the-job training of new skills, job prospects, and valuable resume updates.

For teens, volunteering is invaluable to gaining self-esteem as well as a glimpse into work force experiences and possible careers. A summary of accumulated volunteers hours makes for stronger college and scholarship applications. Teens who volunteer also tend to earn better grades. In addition, including volunteer hours on job applications helps a young candidate's chances of employment.

"Volunteering allowed me to make connections and get ahead in life," says Sierra, a Cave Creek Museum teen volunteer.

Of course, those who’ve retired and have left the full-time work force can definitely benefit from joining the volunteer work force. Retirement brings a welcome sense of new-found freedom, but with it sometimes comes a sense of emptiness from the additional time on hand. Volunteering offers a sense of purpose and life satisfaction from helping others and giving back to the community.

Study after study show that volunteering improves physical and mental health (and combats depression) for all of us. According to the Mayo Clinic, the reduced stress that comes from volunteering “… further decreases the risk of some physical and mental health problems, such has heart disease, stroke, depression, anxiety and general illness.” The American Heart Association also touts numerous reasons (link) why volunteering can result in positive health benefits.

Relationships are important to all of us, no matter what age. Volunteering nurtures our existing relationships and offers opportunities for creating valuable new ones. What better way to improve social and relationship skills while helping in our community! Often, families (parents, children, grandparents) volunteer together in ways that strengthen family bonds. And, all this while enjoying time together!

Reasons (and excuses) for staying away from volunteering may include lack of time or physical restrictions. Actually, neither of these reasons limits the ability to volunteer. Valuable volunteer opportunities fitting all schedules and abilities abound and welcome individuals with open arms. Types of volunteer opportunities include weekly scheduled commitments, one-time events, and even remote volunteer work. Requirements? Only a desire, passion, positive attitude, and commitment.

Local psychologist, Dr Tamara Causey states, “I often recommend that patients volunteer. If a person is feeling stuck, lacks direction or feels isolated due to life circumstances, volunteering can help with all of those things." According to Dr. Causey, "Volunteering helps a person see life from a different perspective. It is common to start to get unstuck and develop purpose and passion from the act of helping others. People often find that they start to feel a part of their community and develop life-long friends by working alongside other volunteers united by a common goal.”

So, do you now see that volunteering can indeed be for you? What are you waiting for? Find something you’re passionate about and believe in, then seek it out. Helping others? Animals? Community support or events? The environment? Your religious community? Select a volunteer opportunity where you can share your acquired skills and/or learn new ones - office work, assisting others, manual labor, computer work and more. You can begin now by clicking HERE for a list of volunteering opportunities in our community.

Mayor's Corner

Dear Cave Creek Residents and Merchants,

The tragedy in Lahaina, Maui has been on my mind, yours, and I am sure many others. We grieve with those who have lost loved ones as the casualty count increases daily. 

Of course, Cave Creek knows of the chaos and danger of wildland fire. Since the 2020 Cave Creek fires, the Town has been working to ensure rapid and decisive wildland fire emergency response while they’re small and controllable. Our fire department and town has its own engine, brush truck, water tanker and help of the entire automatic aid system if a brush fire breaks out.

But, prevention is the key! That’s why electronic signs are flashing warnings along roadways during fire season. Shoulders of roads with Town rights-of-way are sprayed to kill combustible brush and weeds so dragging trailer chains or careless disposal of cigarettes don’t have fire starting fuel. The Town also sponsors annual brush cleanup programs before fire season.

We also have a prohibition on fireworks and open flame during fire season. Permits are required ensuring work activities, like welding, can proceed safely after sufficient precautions are taken.

Further, the Town is currently constructing an emergency evacuation exit to the east along Arroyo Road for residents in the north and northeast portions of town. It will connect to Cave Creek Road at the eastern boundary. When finished, there will be directional signs. This will provide an escape route if Spur Cross or Schoolhouse Roads are blocked.

After Lahaina, the Town reviewed CodeRED, our system for evacuation and other emergencies. So far, over 5,300 local residents and businesses have already signed up for this early alert system and are called directly by the Town in the event of an emergency. CodeRED recently notified residents to cut water usage when a power upset caused a reduction in water flow.  The overwhelming response kept the short-term loss of water to about 20 customers. This same system will alert the community if an incident like wildland fire should occur. If you have not signed up for this alert system, I highly recommend doing so and please encourage family and friends to also sign up.

I think it is essential for every resident to sign up on CodeRED. That early phone warning saves lives and provides more time for evacuating animals and/or precious goods. And, by the way, our rodeo grounds is used whenever there is an animal evacuation in the north valley.

So, please go HERE to the Town website today and sign up. You will not be barraged with calls. It is used only in emergencies.

CodeRED: Sign Up!

Town of Cave Creek

Town Manager's Corner

Dear Cave Creek Residents and Merchants,

Recently, I announced my upcoming retirement after twenty-five wonderful years with the Town of Cave Creek. I began my career with the Town in March 1998. The first 19 years I served as your town clerk until I was hired as town manager in 2017. Over these years, I have enjoyed every aspect of serving this very special community especially all those I've met along the way.

I've worked with four mayors and many council members who have entrusted me in my leadership roles. Together we've tackled difficult matters and succeeded in adding valuable services for the community. These efforts have increased public safety making Cave Creek an even more desirable place to work, live and allow our businesses to grow and thrive. I've been incredibly fortunate to build a team of dedicated professionals who provide quality governmental services to all who work or reside in Cave Creek.

The time has come, however, to move on to the next phase of my life. I am looking forward to spending more time with my husband, three daughters and grandchildren. My last day with the Town will be in early 2024. In the meantime, I will continue to serve the community with the same dedication and passion that has taken me here through the years.

Regards, 

Carrie A. Dyrek

Cave Creek Town Manager

The Marshal's Corner

Greetings from the Marshal,

Many of you have commented on the Town’s efforts to slow and calm traffic throughout the town core. For those of you who've noticed, we are attempting to address the vehicles failing to realize that 30 MPH means actually driving 30 MPH (or less). Unfortunately we are still finding people driving between 40-55 miles per hour through our town core. We will continue our efforts at having drivers obey our speed limits. Our goal is a safer Cave Creek for all residents and visitors who like walking and traveling in our town.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Captain Laterno from MCSO as the new District Four Commander of The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Captain Laterno was in command of our district many years ago. He will bring over thirty years of leadership experience to Cave Creek and will be a welcomed partner to our community. Welcome back Captain!

I also wish to congratulate Lieutenant Baranyos on his retirement from MCSO after a long and distinguished career. Lieutenant Baranyos represented the best of the best in law enforcement and we wish him well in his new position as a captain in Estes Park, Colorado. Congratulations my friend!

Stay Safe,

Marshal Adam Stein

Taste of Cave Creek Corner

"The Taste" 2023

The Excitement is Building





Once again, Taste of Cave Creek organizer Patty Pollnow and guest speakers played to a full-house at the August 29 meeting. Excitement is building as the October 18/19 event gets closer by the day. Patty started off the meeting by introducing the newest restaurants and merchants sign ups. Currently, event attendees will be offered delicious “tastes” from 30 restaurants…and the number keeps growing.

First up as guest speaker was Starletta Brown from the Maricopa Health Department. Starletta discussed the nuts and bolts of county regulations, required permits, and gave suggestions on how to make the evenings process easier for restaurant participants.

Jen Miles, of Tech4Life, advised they would be covering event website updates as well as social media. She reminded participating merchants they would be eligible to have a clickable logo on the “Taste” site once event applications have been turned in. (A Cave Creek business license is required to apply.) Jen also asked anyone with photos from previous “Taste” events to please share them with her for the site.

Brittni Bennett was up next advising all participants (anyone with a physical space or booth) a required to provide a certificate of insurance to Stagecoach Village by an October 1 deadline. Event insurance requirements can be obtained by clicking HERE.

Patty assured parking around town will be plentiful with buses from lots starting at 4:45 and the event opening at 5pm. Event entry gates will be at Stagecoach Village north and south ends.

Come to the “Taste” with an appetite because there’ll be plenty of tempting “tastes” to satisfy. Many other vendors will display their best. There will also be music, dancing, and an opportunity to enjoy the evening with neighbors and new friends. If this sounds like fun and you'd like to volunteer your help, then come to the volunteer meetings on October 9 and 16 at Stagecoach Village (suite 105).

Contact Patty for more information or to volunteer. Still interested in event participation, then click HERE. Patty would love to hear from you. Please note, the final meeting before the big event is set for September 26. Bring a pillow, bring a chair, because it will surely be the biggest event gathering yet.

Finally…Tickets are already selling like hotcakes on the “Taste” site, as well as at Stickhorse Gallery and Ortega’s. Get yours early and beat the crowds at the gate.

For additional information, go to the "Taste" website HERE or contact Patty Pollnow at (480) 204-0140 or by emailing her HERE.

Concierge Tour '24 Corner

Cave Creek Concierge Tour

2024

The Cave Creek Tourism Bureau (CCTB) is already thinking ahead to 2024 and organizing yet another exciting concierge tour. The event, called Cave Creek Concierge Tour 2024 (CCCT24), is on the calendar for January 9, 2024. Valley concierges and tourism affiliates will be invited on a bus tour through Cave Creek town core and a visit to Spur Cross Ranch, as well.

This event is sponsored by the Town of Cave Creek in support of local merchants. Event attendees will learn about Cave Creek shops, restaurants, history, points of interest and especially pointing out Cave Creek's special Local Landmarks. The event will end with dinner at a local restaurant, a group photo, and a goody bag full of wonderful, unique items representative of our town’s merchants.

This will be the second concierge tour organized by the Cave Creek Tourism Bureau (CCTB). The first, in March of 2022, was well-attended, extremely successful, and enjoyed by all. Our Cave Creek merchants were amazing at contributing swag bag items for the goody bag best representing their businesses. Attending guests walked away happy and asking, “When is the next one?”

The CCCT24 Committee is made up of dedicated CCTB volunteers Deborah, MaryF, and Hank, and they're already busily working on the 2024 event details. Cave Creek merchants can expect to hear from them soon with more event info. Merchants, be thinking about what swag bag item (attached to your promo-material) might best “show-off” your business at CCCT24. What a fantastic way to promote our local merchants! Thank you, Town of Cave Creek and the CCCT24 Committee.

Additional updates on this event will appear in future editions of the Cave Creek Corner. Questions about the concierge tour? You can email Committee Chair Deborah by clicking HERE.

Local Landmarks Corner

The Town of Cave Creek was honored to make the following Local Landmark presentations

in August.

Black Mountain Feed Store

~ A Local Landmark ~

August 15 was a special day at the Black Mountain Feed Store. Cave Creek’s Mayor Bob Morris and Councilman Thomas McGuire presented current owners Lee and Nicole Banning, with the brass plaque commemorating the location as one of Cave Creek’s coveted Local Landmarks.

The Plaque Reads as Follows: The Black Mountain Feed Store was built by Frank Wright in 1929 as a home for his mother. Mr. Wright was known as “Mr. Cave Creek,” and when he passed in 1982 at the age of 89, he had lived in Cave Creek for sixty years. Mr. Wright founded and built the American Legion Post in 1934 and established the first water company in the Town. Tragically, the original building burned down in 2020 the same year as both the East Desert and the Ocotillo fires occurred. The feed store was rebuilt which includes a façade paying respect to the original building.

 Le Sans Souci

~ A Local Landmark ~

The site of Cave Creek’s only French restaurant, Le Sans Souci, was honored with the coveted brass Local Landmark’s plaque for its building on August 16. Presenting the plaque to owner and Chef José Rivera was Cave Creek's Mayor Bob Morris. Also representing the Town at the event were Vice-Mayor Royer and Councilman McGuire. Friends, family and Cave Creek Museum representatives celebrated, too. Chef José included some of his amazing pastries into what turned out to be a joyous celebration.

The Plaque Reads as Follows: Before becoming a restaurant, the building in which it currently operates was originally the private home of Dr. and Mrs. Marty Chapman, designed by Architect Fred Osman. In 1995, Chef Louis Germain and head Chef Jose Rivera, opened the French restaurant known as Le Sans Souci. Serving an exquisite dining experience to diners from all over the world, this restaurant is described as a true “Hidden Gem in Cave Creek.”

Summer Season Hours of Fri/Sat/Sun from 10am-2pm

Yep! We're back in business with September Summer Season hours after our month of August break. We expect visitor traffic will still be at a trickle as we prep for the incoming "Season." This is a good time, however, for participating merchants to review rack card needs, reorder (if necessary), then drop off additional cards for the new season. This enables tourism bureau volunteers to restock promotional material for sharing with visitors who stop by as we roll into Season '23-'24.

What? You're not yet a participating Cave Creek business? Remember, local business promotion at the tourism bureau is a free benefit of having a Cave Creek Town Business License. Click HERE for the form.

Also, our tourism bureau has a couple of volunteer opportunities available. Are you a friendly person who loves Cave Creek? Then, volunteering at the Cave Creek Tourism Bureau would be perfect for you. What a wonderful way to support the Cave Creek community while meeting people from all over the world!
