Well it’s that time of year where the seasons start to change, the change comes slowly here in Southern Nevada. Even though we always don’t feel it in the weather until later in the month we feel it through the events surrounding us. The kids are all back in school and even if it doesn’t feel like football weather it is in full gear. This month we have a unique article about the Las Vegas high school football team of 1944. Whether you’re a fan of football or not I think you will enjoy the story of this team. This month travel article takes a look at Northern Arizona. This is a great time to visit, the weather is great for outdoor activates. The nights are chilly compared to our evenings so be prepared and enjoy a change of scenery. We look forward to anyone sharing their adventures on our getaways. Here at Simply 55+ we appreciate your feedback, positive or negative, to improve our publication at simply55.com.

Hello friends! As you may have noticed by now, and I’m sure I have mentioned previously, I am not a creative cook. For the mostImprovement part, my husband handles the cooking (or should we say grilling) Home & Lifestyle portion of our evening meals. Until recently, I have been good with that. Lately I have been trying Simply Savers to turn over a new leaf and contribute more to the dinner time hour (translation – I’m getting bored with what my husband is cooking up, bless his heart).

The summer days are wearing me down and I’m dreaming of my favorite seasons of the year, Fall and Winter. When I was a young girl, my dad would have my mom make him Chicken & Dumplings Calendar Of Eventsquite often – you could say it was a staple in our household. Being the baby of four children, I was beyond spoiled and did not learn how to cook until I had moved away from home Calendar Events – so this is not a recipe that was passed (some say I still don’t know how to cook, but IOfdigress) down, though a lot of the elements are the same, as I remember them.

What Records Auto Travel Should You Keep How Long Should You Keep Them By Kim Boyer
Home Improvement & Lifestyle Simply Savers
Shredding old records will help Feedback protect you against identity theft, but disposing of too much can leave you unprotected. While there are no firm rules on record retention, the following suggestionsCalendar can helpOf guide you in Events deciding what documents to keep and for how long. ATM Receipts: These should be Remembering Nevada kept only until you balance your checkbook. After that, shred them.
Happy Holidays
Bank Statements: You don’t need to keep your bank statements. The only exception is if you are applying for a mortgage or public benefits. Keep checks or statements related to taxes, and home improvements. Shred those that have no long-term importance. Brokerage Statements: You should retain the transaction record until you sell the investment and complete your tax return. You need the purchase and sales slips from your brokerage or mutual fund to prove whether you have capital gains or losses at tax time.
Credit Card Statements: Keep your original receipts until you get your statement and shred the receipts if the two match up. Keep the receipts or statements as tax records if they are tax related. Estate-planning documents: Keep originals of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney in a secure place indefinitely. If they are updated and revoked in a new document, you can destroy the old document. Financial and Retirement Accounts: You should keep records of IRA contributions permanently. Keep the quarterly statements from your 401(k) or other plans until you receive the annual summary. If everything matches up, then shred the quarterlies. Keep the annual summaries until you retire or close the account. Home Records: To lower potential capital gains tax, you should keep records documenting the purchase price, costs of permanent home improvements, and expenses of buying and selling as long as you own the property, and then keep as tax records. Not That Old And Loving It!
Life Insurance Policies: Life insurance policies should be kept for the duration of the policy. Mortgage Documents: You should keep mortgage documents for the duration of the mortgage. Once you have paid off the mortgage, the bank must record a satisfaction of the mortgage. Keep the record of satisfaction as long as you own the property. Pay Stubs: Keep the calendar year’s records until you reconcile them with your annual W-2 form, then shred them. Tax Returns: The general rule is to keep tax returns, whether business or personal, for seven years. Thus, when you file a new return, you may shred the one no longer needed. Although the IRS has three years to audit you after you file your income tax return, there are several exceptions to this rule, and it is better to be safe than sorry. Further, it is important to save all the information used in preparing your returns, as it is up to you to provide this information if you are audited or asked related questions.
Warranty Documents: All warranty documents may be disposed of at the time the warranty expires or you get rid of the item. There are certain documents that it is recommended you never discard: birth and death certificates, marriage licenses and divorce decrees, military discharge papers, and Social Security cards. + Disclaimer: Information provided as a service of Kim Boyer, Certified Elder Law Attorney.

Remembering Nevada Happy Holidays Documenting Las Vegas By Las Vegas Host Committee Chair Oscar B. Goodman
Las Vegas Strip. (Brian Jones/Las Vegas News Bureau)
Las Vegas has a rich history and for more than 65 years, the Las Vegas News Bureau has been there documenting the places and faces that helped shape Las Vegas into the city it is today. As part of its efforts to market Las Vegas as a tourism destination after World War II, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce created the News Bureau. Its mission was to make Las Vegas a household name. The bureau’s photographers devoted a lot of time to three specific types of photos: hometown shots, “cheesecake” photos, and images of entertainment and entertainers. Vegas has always been a premier wedding destination, and back in the 1940s and 50s

when couples came to exchange vows, the News Bureau would be on hand to send their wedding photo back to their hometown paper. This not only benefitted the couple who could share their good news with their friends back home, it also helped Vegas create a reputation as the place to get married. In addition to sending the wedding photos back home, they also spent time snapping photos of guests at the resort swimming pools. Because most Americans did not have swimming pools, they wanted to capture images of average Americans enjoying themselves at a resort pool to showcase some of Vegas’ unique features. The bureau also sent “cheesecake” photos to the media markets across the country. These pictures of attractive young women in Not That Old And Loving It!

Today, The News Bureau captures photos and video of special events, entertainment, attractions, resorts and hotels in Las Vegas, and imagery of the Southern Nevada destinations of Laughlin, Mesquite and Boulder City. The News Bureau shares their collection of archival images with the public through a variety of community exhibitions.

If the crater isn’t enough of what nature has to offer for you, then we suggest a trip out to Lake Mary. You can choose between Upper Lake Mary, and Lower Lake Mary. Upper Mary is the larger lake and is a great spot for power boating or water skiers as there is no motor size limit on the lake. However, the lake is great for everything from jet boats to sailboats, and canoes. If you’re not much into being out on the water, you can even enjoy great fishing or some good old fashioned camping at Lake View and Pinegrove campgrounds.

Comprised of young men filled with pride and gutsy determination, the Wildcats would go 8-0 during the year; score successive shutouts in eight games beating teams like Kingman (320); powerhouse San Bernardino, Calif. (14-0) in a huge road win considering that the losers would go on to win the California 4-A title; Basic of Henderson (37-0); Lincoln County northwest of Las Vegas (450); Needles, Calif., twice (19-0 and 25-0); Boulder City (21-0) and Sparks (19-0) in the state championship game.
Among those going into the legal field were running back John Mendoza would go to become a Clark County district judge; freshman halfback Myron Leavitt would become a Clark County District Judge, Clark County Commission and Las Vegas City Councilman before finally running for U.S. Supreme Court Justice; and running back Herman Fisher.
Several would go on to enter the legal profession.
Just the slow 250-mile-or-so road trip to San Bernardino was a challenge, but not something that intimidated these Wildcats who found 5,000 rabid fans waiting for them. In fact, it was one more in a long list of challenges that the teens seemed to thrive on. While Southern Nevada high schools (with the exception of Bishop Gorman) hard-pressed to attract 1,500 in most cases, the Wildcats and their band of talented athletes were the hit of Las Vegas seeing jam-packed crowds every game Butcher Field.

Running back Martin Hardy, now 88, has vivid memories of the team. He is a native Las Vegan who went into the U.S. Navy after graduation and now lives in San Jose, Calif. “I think the success of our team was primarily because of John Mendoza,” recalled Hardy, who along with Call played only on the senior year team. He was our leader and our captain. Not That Old And Loving It!
He was the spiritual leader of the team and everyone tried to be as positive and assertive as John was.” Hardy also saluted Benson, who went on to be a star athlete at BYU where he played football. Hardy said the San Bernardino game especially stands out in his mind. He said one player was worried about the size of the opposing team. “Coach Stanford just said that if they were bigger than us, we just had to hit them harder,” Hardy remembered. “We knew we had a tough game and we had to play our hearts out. We were a good team, there was no doubt about it.” Hardy said the number of success stories off the team is also very impressive. John Foley, now 88, played on the freshman and junior varsity football Las Vegas High Dream Teams before attending his junior and senior years at Christian Brothers Catholic School in Sacramento, Calif. “We had damned good athletes in those days,” said Foley whose family migrated south to Las Vegas from Goldfield, Nev. “They were very tough.” Foley still remembers how he and the rest of Continued on pg. 58 September/October 2015
