OF BOOKS NOTE Reviewed By Larry Cox© American Ghost: The True Story of a Family’s Haunted Past By Hannah Nordhaus (Harper Collins, hardcover, $25.)
The La Posada hotel in Santa Fe, N.M., was once a grand family home. Built in 1882 by Abraham Staab for his wife, Julia, and their children, it was one of the grandest private structures in the region. Julia’s eighth pregnancy was a difficult one. The son born died a short time after birth. The death plunged Julia into a deep depression, and she spent what was left of her life secluded in her bedroom. She died in 1896 at age 52. During the 1920s, the property passed out of the Staab family but continued to build its reputation as a resort and destination for travelers. Fast-forward four decades. During the 1970s, a janitor was mopping the floor at the hotel late one night. When he looked up from his bucket, he gasped at the sight of a dark-eyed woman dressed in a long, black gown standing near the fireplace. As he blinked, the woman vanished. This visitation was followed by other mysterious events, most of which took place in the second floor suite, once occupied by Julia. Critically acclaimed author Hannah Nordhaus, the great-great-granddaughter of Abraham and Julia Staab, weaves together the strands of Julia’s life in this true-life account, a stunning literary portrait of pioneer life in New Mexico involving ghosts, psychics, imagination and even an improbable love story.

5 Scams Aimed at Seniors By Matilda Charles© The FBI website has a list of scams that are aimed at seniors. Many of these swindles have been going on for years, and the scammers still are finding plenty of victims. Here are some examples: • Medicare and insurance fraud: Scammers posing as Medicare representatives call to try to get personal information. Or, even more brazen, they set up fake mobile clinics and entice seniors to provide their Medicare information. • Reverse mortgage scam: Seniors can lose all their home equity to scammers or even be conned into aiding the scammers in stealing equity from a flipped property. Beware reverse mortgages, and don’t sign anything without expert advice. Be wary of investment seminars, including those hosted by churches. • Funeral and cemetery scams: Scammers read the obituaries and pounce on the spouse to try to collect money that the deceased didn’t even owe. Or, shady funeral-home operators will try to pad the bill. • Telemarketing: Seniors make twice the average number of purchases over the phone, so they’re a handy target. Don’t buy anything from anyone who calls you. If you want something, make the call yourself. • Charity scams: Especially after a natural disaster, the scammers are looking for money. If you want to donate to an organization, make the call yourself. Clip this column and share it with your friends the next time you get together. Maybe you’ll keep one potential victim away from the scammers. To read about more senior scams, go online to www. fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/ seniors.

PICKS OF THE MONTH These hits are now available on DVD and Blu-ray. “Wild” (R) — Reese Witherspoon plays a woman who takes a solo walk for more than 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail — for reasons that aren’t easy to spell out, even for her. There a sense that she has no control over her life. She seems caught between destructive behavior when she’s alone, and toxic relationships when she tries to connect. Based on the memoir by Cheryl Strayed, this is doubtlessly Witherspoon’s best performance since “Walk the Line,” perhaps her best on film. “The Rewrite” (PG-13) — Hugh Grant has a way of stumbling over his words, fidgeting, looking around and then saying something understatedly clever or disarmingly earnest. It’s his modus operandi. If he were a pro wrestler, stammering through a sheepish grin would be his signature move. In this way-too-old-for-coming-ofage dramedy, Grant plays a washed-up Hollywood screenwriter who reluctantly accepts a gig teaching screenwriting at a little college in upstate New York. First he’s a jerk, but then he must learn some lessons and repair relationships with the various stereotypical characters he’s offended with his offbeat charm.

ROUND ARIZONA By Heather Wright Schlichting©
How do you find the best dinosaurs in the Valley? Let out a good roar at the Arizona Museum of Natural History, of course. Located in Mesa, the Arizona Museum of Natural History allows visitors to explore the state’s backyard, from the creation of the earth roughly 4.5 billion years ago to the present. The prehistoric fun begins when you enter Dinosaur Hall. There, visitors can discover some of the largest dinosaurs that once roamed the planet. And on nearby Dinosaur Mountain, absorb how dinosaurs might have sounded and appeared in their natural habitat, as water cascades down a three-story waterfall approximately every 20 minutes. Paleontology, the study of past life, is the primary emphasis of the Natural His-
tory section of the museum. This section explores, excavates, records, prepares, conserves, and researches the fossil resources in the collection at the museum. In addition to working with state, municipal and academic entities, the museum is an official repository for specimens collected by the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service throughout Arizona. In the Arizona Through Time exhibit, visitors can explore the origins of the universe, galaxies, comets, asteroids and our own solar system. See and touch several meteorites, including a replica of the Tucson Meteorite and a piece of the Canyon Diablo Meteorite, which created Meteor Crater when it struck present-day Arizona about 50,000 years ago.

NTIQUE ANSWERS
Q: As a kid growing up in Brooklyn during the 1940s, I ate Wheaties for breakfast because it sponsored “Jack Armstrong” on afternoon radio. I have a milk glass cereal bowl, a bicycle safety kit and a pedometer, all products that were Armstrong premiums. I have a sentimental attachment to these three items but also wonder about current values. — Don, Surprise, Ariz. A: The Jack Armstrong radio program began during the summer of 1933 and continued until 1951. It was one of the most popular and

By Larry Cox© longest-running radio adventure series ever. The broadcasts generated dozens of products, including two of my personal favorites: a coveted and rare signaling mirror and secret whistle, both used to send messages. After checking the Internet and several price guides, including “Hake’s Price Guide to Character Toys” by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles, I have determined your cereal bowl is probably worth about $35 and the bicycle safety kit, if intact, in the $100 to $300 range. The pedometer’s value is more dif-

APRIL 2015
A: I have several comic-book references, but the two I keep checking are “Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide” by Maggie Thompson, Brent Frankenhuff and Peter Bickford (Krause, $19.99); and “The Standard Guide to Golden Age Comic Books” by Alex G. Mallow and Stuart W. Wells III (Krause, $19.99). Both books are thoroughly illustrated and accurately reflect the marketplace. As with most collectibles, condition is extremely important.

K ITCHEN DIVA If you’re tired of eating ordinary spaghetti, try my recipe for collard green ribbons with garlic, lemon and pasta. Cutting tender collard greens into ribbons and tossing them with olive oil, garlic, lemon and pasta transforms it into a delicious and hardy new dish. Collard Green Ribbons with Garlic, Lemon and Pasta 2/3 package or more of whole-wheat, thin spaghetti 16 ounces fresh collard greens (about 20 big leaves) 1/4 cup pine nuts 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 5 small cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt 1/2 teaspoon agave syrup or honey
By Angela Shelf Medearis© 1 teaspoon black pepper 3 ounces Parmesan cheese 2 lemons, cut into wedges Step 1. Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain quickly, reserving a bit of cooking water, and set aside. Step 2. Cut out center rib of each collard green. Stack a few greens at a time and roll them up into a cigar-like shape. Slice across the roll as thinly as possible (1/8 to 1/4 inch). Shake up the greens and give them a few chops so the strands aren’t so long. Step 3. Heat a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over medium heat and toast pine nuts until they start to turn golden and fragrant. Pour nuts out of skillet and save for later. Step 4. Return skillet to medium heat and pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprin-

kle in a big pinch of red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon zest, and stir. Once oil is hot enough to shimmer, toss in all the collard greens. Sprinkle greens with salt, pepper and agave or honey. Saute greens for about three minutes, stirring often to keep from clumping.
Step 5. Remove pan from heat. Scoop greens into pasta pot and toss with another drizzle of olive oil, adding pasta water if necessary. Divide onto plates, top with pine nuts and Parmesan shavings, and serve with two big lemon wedges per person. Serves 4.

Shield Your Eyes From the Sun Many people aren’t aware that the sun can do damage to their eyes when they are unprotected from ultraviolet (UV) rays. Ultraviolet radiation is invisible to the human eye and damage is cumulative over time, so it’s imperative for everyone — from young kids to grandparents — to take the necessary steps to protect their eyes. Wearing sunglasses is an easy way to shield the eyes while outdoors, but it’s important to look beyond the choices in frames and find sunglasses with lenses that offer the best UV protection. E-SPF, or Eye Sun Protection Factor, is a global index that rates the overall UV protection clear and sunglass lenses provide for the eyes versus going without eyewear. Varied Degrees of Protection Lenses with an E-SPF index of 50-plus means your eyes are 50 times more protected than they are without wearing lenses at all. The index ranges from zero to 25 for clear corrective lenses and from zero to 50-plus for polarized sunglass lenses. Finding the Right Shades To better protect your eyes from harmful UV rays outdoors look for sunglasses that offer the following: • Lenses with an E-SPF index of 50-plus • Large, close-fitting wraparound frames to reduce exposure to rays coming from around the lenses • Polarized lenses — adds protection by reducing glare reflecting off of water, asphalt, windows and snow Also, it’s possible to get your eyewear prescription in sun lenses.

When you make a meringue, be sure to spread it all the way to the crust on all sides. If you do, it will not shrink. ••• To clean burned-on bits from your cast-iron skillet, scrub with a plastic scrubber and salt as an abrasive. Dry immediately and rub with oil to keep moist. ••• Newspaper bags are handy hand covers in many situations. Keep them close if you are painting, doing a DIY art project, working in the shop with sticky or greasy materials, or baking and working with dough. ••• If you want to make a message station for dry-erase notes, try this cheap and fun DIY trick: Grab a picture frame with a glass insert. Use a photo, pretty piece of

You can write on the glass with a dry-erase marker and erase as needed. ••• Metal shower hooks can be used in the sewing basket to hold safety pins. They can be used in a jewelry box to corral costume rings as well. ••• After your dishwasher has run its course, open up the door and let the dishes air dry.

Columbia ParCar Arizona Offers Safe and Comfortable Eco-Friendly Vehicles By Pamela Holechek© There are many ways to contend with the ups and downs of automotive fuel costs, one of which is to not drive at all. But a more sensible, ecological solution that can keep you on the road is found at a factory-direct golf car dealership in Sun City West. Columbia ParCar Arizona is part of the family-owned Nordic Group of Companies Ltd., headquartered in Wisconsin. The company continually strives for cutting-edge technology in its American-made vehicles. A visit to the Columbia ParCar sales and service center, a 20,000-squarefoot building located near the Safeway in the Sundome
Plaza Shopping Center at 13525 W. Camino Del Sol, will have one believing it still is possible to drive and save. At the Columbia ParCar Arizona showroom, customers may inspect the many electric-powered golf cars available for sale, verifying their innovative, safety-first features. Then, for complete assurance, one may take a free test drive to fully experience why these cars are distinctive. “We are electric-car experts, and we solve a need for the retiree lifestyle,” says Caleb Amundson, vehicle solutions manager at Columbia ParCar Arizona. “We put together vehicles, not just on a custom-style basis, but on a solutions basis.”

“Whether the purpose is golfing, driving in the community, going to the grocery store, or going to friends’ houses, these activities are for extensive, community-type use of the car,” he continues. “We offer models that extend beyond the prototypical vehicle that is out there. Our product line dates to 1946, making Columbia ParCar the most experienced manufacturer in the industry.” Amundson notes that industry standards for Columbia electric cars, as compared to its competitors, are impressive. “Our vehicles are constructed with a solid-steel frame that boasts a lifetime warranty,” he explains. “Parts on the vehicle are protected for five years and labor is covered for three years.” Columbia ParCar vehicles have the most robust drive motor, which makes for a more comfortable drive in hot or harsh climate conditions, says Amundson. “The Columbia power-control system is the most efficient
on the market, allowing for a more usable range on a single charge,” he adds. “From a reliable 40 miles to as much as 80 miles, the vehicle’s overall design delivers a comfortable, ergonomic, long-range ride.” Columbia ParCar electric cars have an on-board charger, which allows the vehicle to consume less energy when charging. To engage the inventive built-in charger, just connect the advanced Columbia charging batteries’ 110/240 VAC system to the nearest electrical outlet. “Wattage use is similar to leaving a lamp turned on between six and 12 hours,” says Amundson. “Thus, the cost of charging the vehicle is two cents per mile on average, whereas a gas-powered golf car averages approximately five to seven cents per mile.” Columbia ParCar Vehicles also possess an intelligent, energy-recovery braking system. Amundson explains that the recovered

Grand Season Business Profile
For 25 Years, Nino’s Mexican Restaurant Has Been Serving Quality, Delicious Food By Pamela Holechek© It’s a rare business that survives 25 years, run by the same family, in the same location, no less. And when it happens, it’s definitely worthy of acknowledgment. This summer, Nino’s Mexican Restaurant in Sun City will celebrate its silver anniversary. Johnny G. Garcia and his son-in-law Christopher Gene Calzada I — along with Johnny’s wife, Mary Alice, and his daughters Margarita Garcia and Anna “Fifi” Calzada — opened Nino’s Mexican Restaurant in July 1990 at King’s Inn Shopping Center, located at the southeast corner of Grand and 107th avenues, sharing their heritage of traditional Mexican cooking. Johnny G., with his outgoing personality, quickly became the restaurant’s front man and community ambassador, while the younger, more reserved Christopher I took on the master chef duties. Six days a week, Christopher I gathers and chops ingredients beginning at 7 a.m. for the daily meals and specials at Nino’s Mexican Restaurant. A few hours later, his wife, Fifi, and daughter Angelica arrive at the restaurant to greet customers while
also handling the phone and front register duties. “Our whole family is committed to preparing and serving quality food,” says Christopher Gene Calzada II, the manager at Nino’s Mexican Restaurant and son of Christopher I. “We purchase meat and produce every few days to ensure our food is fresh and never frozen.” Christopher II says that Nino’s Mexican Restaurant is known for its stuffed Anaheim chili pepper entrée, consisting of two chili rellenos served with beans, rice and a choice of one flour tortilla or three corn tortillas. “Customers can always count on a meal prepared with pride and passion,” he adds. Customers can also create their own combination meals — served with beans and rice — by choosing three of the following dishes: cheese enchilada, tamale, taco (beef or chicken), small red burrito, small green burrito, two shredded flautas, two chicken flautas, or chili relleno. These flavorful, plateful customer creations are also available for take-out orders. If calories are a concern but you still have a craving
Nino’s Mexican Restaurant, located at 10659 W. Grand Ave., Suite 14, in Sun City, is truly a family business. The restaurant was opened by Johnny G. Garcia (pictured in the front row, second from the right) in July 1990. for quality Mexican cuisine, or if you’re looking for a delicious snack to hold you over until your next meal, Nino’s Mexican Restaurant can help. Simply order one of the restaurant’s appetizers, consisting of two mini shredded beef flautas, two mini chicken flautas, two mini ground beef tacos or two mini bean tostadas, all served with sour cream and guacamole. The Mexican Pizza is another much-loved meal
offered at Nino’s Mexican Restaurant, says Christopher II. It’s made with ground beef, enchilada sauce, green chili strips, tomatoes and cheese. The restaurant also offers 15 prepared combination plates, including five varieties of chimichangas (a deepfried burrito), with multiple toppings, plus beans and rice. Children’s meals include a beverage. Continued on Page 32

energy is recycled back into the batteries when the car is in operation. Columbia ParCar vehicles come with 13-inch steel-belted street tires that offer a two-inch lift, making them especially visible in traffic. Street-legal cars come equipped with seat belts, yet many automotive parts and accessories can be added, including heaters, air conditioning, audio system, sliding seats, fitted storage, and other custom detailing. Every Columbia ParCar electric vehicle is built to meet applicable federal regulations, as well as to meet or exceed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards, says Amundson. “The most applauded feature on these vehicles is their environmental footprint, which produces zero emissions,” he adds.

Nino’s Mexican Restaurant From Page 28
With nominal drink prices, it can be happy hour all day at Nino’s Mexican Restaurant. All non-alcoholic beverages, including soft drinks, lemonade and iced tea, cost $2. Domestic and imported beers start at $3.15. And margaritas and wines start at $3.75. Nino’s Mexican Restaurant opened in memory of Johnny E. Garcia, son of Mary Alice and Johnny G. Garcia. Johnny E., who was an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer, was killed in the line of duty on Oct. 14, 1989. A photo and tribute dedicated to Johnny E. is on the front and back overs of the restaurant’s menu. Nino’s Mexican Restaurant’s name evolved from that photo. Nino means godfather in Spanish, and the snapshot shows Johnny E. in his uniform, lovingly holding his small godson Christopher II. Another “In Memoriam” appears on the second page of the menu, this one for Johnny G., who passed away last year. “Our family was so appreciative of the support we received and the prayers offered in my grandfather’s name,” says Christopher II. “He really meant a lot to the business and obviously to our family and our customers.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director

IME CAPSULE The History Channel
On April 13, 1360, an Easter Monday hailstorm kills an estimated 1,000 English soldiers in Chartres, France. Lightning struck down several leaders, and hailstones began pelting the soldiers, scattering the horses. Hail typically falls at about 100 mph. On April 16, 1943, Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist
working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, resulting in unusual sensations and hallucinations. Widespread use of the so-called mind-expanding drug began in the 1960s. On April 17, 1885, Karen Dinesen, better known by her pen name Isak Dinesen, is
born in Denmark. Dinesen’s memoir, “Out of Africa” (1937), helped demystify the Dark Continent for millions of readers. She published several other story collections before her death in 1962. On April 18, 1983, the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, is almost completely destroyed by a car-bomb explosion that kills 63 people, including the suicide bomber and 17 Americans. The terrorist attack was carried out
in protest of the U.S. military presence in Lebanon. Crossword Solution

We have an extremely fine finisher,” he adds. Their professionalism also applies to thorough cleanup after the
You’ve seen it on your neighbor’s driveway and walkways, or on their backyard patio, or on the floor of their garage... those cool and stylish coated concrete surfaces. Did you know that homes with acrylic surfaces from Acrylic Decking of Arizona, are often 20 to 30 degrees cooler than uncoated concrete? Acrylic Decking of Arizona has become a leader in concrete resurfacing in the Northwest Valley thanks to their
job, and they’ll come back to smooth over any small imperfections that may become apparent, says Lane. And they can also pour concrete for patio’s, additions, walkways and flower boxes. They create a sample board to show you exactly how the finished job will look. All projects are in compliance with HOA rules and regulations. Acrylic Decking of Arizona is licensed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and a member of PORA. Acrylic Decking of Arizona has achieved a sterling record with the Better Business Bureau of Central Arizona, where they’ve been a BBB Accredited Business since 2005. For a free estimate on your home’s upcoming concrete coating work — including customized, natural-look flagstone, a company specialty — call Dick Lane today.
