By Sam Struckhoff© PICKS OF THE MONTH These hits are now available on DVD and Blu-ray. “American Sniper” (R) — Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) was the most lethal sniper in American history, serving four tours in Iraq and earning himself the nickname “Legend.” This Clint Eastwood project draws on Kyle’s autobiography to show how war takes its toll, even on those who seem untouchable. The larger political context of the war is kept to the margins, keeping the focus tight on the film’s protagonist. As a story about a man in an extraordinary situation, Eastwood’s direction clenches tight around the heart and hands over a satisfying drama with sledgehammer action sequences. “Cut Bank” (R) — Tucked away in rural Montana, Dwayne (Liam Hemsworth) wants to get himself and his peppy blond girlfriend (Teresa Palmer) out of town, but witnesses a murder instead. By total coincidence, he had his video camera rolling and pointed in the right direction when the town’s first murder takes place in a canola field. Well, maybe it wasn’t a coincidence, and maybe it wasn’t a murder — the plot twists itself into knots, but it’s not a tight fit.

OF BOOKS NOTE Reviewed By Larry Cox© Stuff Every Groom Should Know By Eric San Juan
GRAND SEASON PEORIA AREA
JUNE 2015
(Quirk Books, paperback, $9.95.)
With wedding season just around the corner, this nifty little guide couldn’t be published at a more apt time. Eric San Juan, author of several books, including “Stuff Every Husband Should Know,” points out that marriage is a life-changing event, and whether it triggers nervous twitters, excitement or confusion, the best plan is to be prepared. This pocket-sized manual is an ideal guide for navigating one of the most important experiences in a man’s life. It starts with popping the question and covers topics such as planning the wedding and how to survive the big event. The practical advice includes how to choose the right ring, plan a wedding on a budget, pick the right tux, survive the bachelor party and even the essentials that a groom should keep in his pockets. If you’re curious about pocket content, a groom should arm himself — or his best man — with such items as a supply of aspirin, a cellphone, a list of telephone numbers for people such as the vendors, a little cash, a stain-remover pen, camera, breath mints, a handkerchief, lip balm and, yes, the ring. San Juan’s guide is easy to use and filled with useful information that every groom can depend on to navigate through the hazards a proper wedding. With it, grooms can not only survive, but survive intact.

Study: Seniors Jubilant After Cleaning House By Matilda Charles© Seniors feel better after cleaning the house, according to a study done by the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing. Who knew? Researchers looked at various influences on a senior’s health and emotional well-being, such as environment, smoking, income, education, health, socioeconomics and exercise. The participants (ages 65 to 94) had one serious illness, were enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare,
and had physical limitations that kept them from at least one daily task, such as bathing, handling medications or dressing. What the researchers didn’t expect was that doing housework and maintaining their own property had more of an impact on seniors than, for example, neighborhood poverty. They were able to prove what they’d seen: Seniors who lived in a neat and tidy environment were more satisfied than
those whose environment was chaotic. I saw something similar when I helped a frail neighbor clean out her pantry. While roomy, the pantry was a jumble of items stacked on top of one another amid outdated, expired food. It was difficult to even write a grocery list because it was impossible to tell at a glance what she had. Once the pantry was neat and organized, she was delighted, and when I saw her again, she had started on the magazines and newspapers that were piled high on every flat surface, managing to take small armloads to the recycling bin outside her back door. She was quite proud of
Seniors who live in a clean home feel more satisfied, according to one study.
her accomplishment. The lesson here: With a small amount of effort, we can keep our environment neat (and safer) ... and the exercise is good for us.

Fitness Goal a Walk in the Park The national recommendation for regular physical activity to stay healthy is actually rather attainable. Adults are encouraged to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity five times a week or more. This means that hiking, biking, jogging and walking all count as exercise. In fact, the U.S. National Library of Medicine says walking was the primary activity reported by people who met the national recommendation for healthy exercise. Research from the Duke University Medical Center confirms the amount of exercise is more important than the intensity, and walking yields significant aerobic benefits — especially a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Walking can help keep joints fluid, but it also may cause some soreness or stiffness in the knees and ankles. Use the following tips to get the most out of walking: • First things first — ask your doctor: Always consult with your doctor before starting any exercise routine if you have been largely sedentary or suffer from existing health conditions. • Stretch to warm up: Begin by walking leisurely for a few minutes, then stretch key muscles like glutes, calves and quads. Once your muscles are warmed up, gradually increase your speed, and pay attention to your posture. • For hydration, trust your body: Generally speaking, if you plan on walking for over half an hour, bring water with you. But you can also trust your thirst. If you’re concerned with over-drinking, consume fluids only when you’re thirsty.

Quesadilla is a Spanish word for “little cheese thing.” The recipe typically calls for mounds of cheese and pork chorizo between two corn tortillas. Although there’s just a small amount of cheese in this recipe, it’s the lean ground chicken and the spices that are the stars of this healthy dish. The substitution of lean ground chicken breast for pork chorizo cuts down on the calories without sacrificing any of the flavor. Chorizo sausage is usually made with ground pork and combined with fat, wine, paprika and salt and stuffed into a casing made of tripe. Paprika and red chiles are the primary spices in Mexican chorizo and infuse it with a deep reddish color. This recipe uses the same spices as the pungent Mexican sausage to marinate the

Step 1. Combine the chicken, chile powder, salt, pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon, Italian seasoning, cloves and vinegar in a bowl, mix well. Set aside. Step 2. Boil the potato in lightly salted water in a saucepan until tender, drain. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken mixture, stirring to break up the pieces, until the chicken is almost cooked through. Step 3. Add the potato,
onion and remaining canola oil, cook until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove from heat and mash mixture. Top each of 4 tortillas with an equal amount of chicken mixture. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, then another tortilla. Spray a griddle or nonstick skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Step 4. Cook the Quesadillas over medium heat until both sides are crisp, turning once. Makes 4 servings.

You’ll pass the iconic L-shaped bar, where previous patrons included Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and John Wayne. A combination of old Hollywood and gangster lore, the 65-year-old downtown Phoenix landmark was a favorite for local politicians who liked to mingle with business powerbrokers over lunch. A former pit boss for gangster Bugsy Siegel at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, James E. “Jack” Durant left the city after Siegel’s murder in 1947.

Today, Durant’s is still a family-owned business with Carol McElroy, Jack McElroy’s daughter-in-law, as the current owner and manager. Each meal, just like it did in 1950, begins with a cold relish tray featuring carrots, celery and radishes, along with a salad topped with Durant’s signature bluecheese dressing. Although the menu has been updated over the years to reflect changing tastes, Durant’s continues to be primarily a steakhouse, in keeping with the founder’s philosophy that “Good friends, great steaks and the best booze are the necessities of life.” Begin your adventure with

Shedding Light on Solar Power More and more Americans are making the switch to solar powering their homes. In 2014, the U.S. added more than 186,000 individual residential solar installations, according to GTM Research. With this rising home trend, make sure you know fact from fiction by rethinking these common myths about what it means to “go solar”: • Myth No. 1: Solar systems must receive constant sunshine to power a home. Actually, ultraviolet (UV) rays that power solar systems can peak through even on the cloudiest days. • Myth No. 2: Solar panels take away from the “curb appeal” of the home. With more of today’s homeowners choosing to go solar, there are more options than ever to make the panels blend seamlessly with the aesthetics of your home and roofing. Today’s solar power systems can be combined with slate, metal, and asphalt roofing, to ensure a smooth transition to your home. • Myth No. 3: Installing and financing a solar system is too expensive. Installing a solar system on your home is more affordable than ever. Through residential solar leasing models offered today, the barriers of going solar are broken down through solar system installations with no upfront costs and as little as $0 down.

No sooner did Matt Damon get back from Mars, where he filmed “The Martian” with Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Kristen Wiig and Jeff Daniels (in theaters Nov. 25), than he started fighting Matt Damon mythical creatures attacking the earth at the Great Wall of China, aided by Willem Dafoe. Set in the 15th century, “The Great Wall” escapes Nov. 23, 2016. Woody Allen’s next film, “Irrational Man,” stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Parker Posey. Phoenix plays a philosophy professor having a relationship with one of his students (Stone). It’s due out July 17. Jon Stewart’s last “Daily
By Tony Rizzo© Show” episode will air Aug. 8. Stewart wrote, produced and directed the $5 million to $10 million film “Rosewater” with Gael Garcia Bernal, and even though it was well-received by critics, it made only $3.1 million at movie theaters. Stewart is leaving his show so he’ll have more time to direct films. He’ll be replaced by 31-year-old South African stand-up comic and TV personality Trevor Noah. Hugh Jackman has announced “Wolverine 3,” planned for 2017, will be his final “Wolverine.” Bradley Cooper keeps cranking out films. Currently on screens in Cameron Crowe’s “Aloha,” with Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, John Krasinski and Alec Baldwin, he has “Adam Jones” coming out Oct. 2. Cooper plays a chef who assembles a crew trying to create the best restaurant ever.

Grand Season Business Profile
Haymaker Restaurant Offers Midwestern Comfort Food and Other Culinary Creations By Roberta Meehan© Are you looking for a restaurant that’s great for the family, perfect for the big game and wonderful for a date, while still being just right for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Well, just follow your nose to the enticing aroma emanating from one of Joey Lucidi’s Haymaker restaurants. The technical name for these palaces of palatable food delights is The Haymaker Restaurant Company, but the local name is simply Haymaker. The West Valley is fortunate enough to have two Haymaker locations — the first restaurant at 24762 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway in Peoria, which opened in October 2013; and a second at 1800 N. Litchfield Road in Goodyear, which opened last year. A third location is scheduled to open at the intersection of Tatum and Bell in Phoenix in July, notes Joey. Haymaker is a family-owned and operated business and Joey comes by his food management skills quite naturally. His parents owned 11 restaurants in San Diego (and earlier in Michigan) and he says that he literally did his school homework sitting in the back of the restaurants. While Joey was in college, he took a break from the family trade and earned a degree in business and marketing. “I soon realized, however, that my passion was for food — the neighborhood grill, the family restaurant with something special,” he says. Before opening Haymaker, Joey worked at some recognized national chain restaurants, doing a little bit of everything, he
26
says. That experience, along with his college studies and family background, makes it easy to see how the Haymaker concept got its start. The Lucidi family is proud of the food at Haymaker; it is good, wholesome and plentiful. The meals are reasonably priced and appealing. The pricing is also enticing for seniors on a limited budget. “Much of the breakfast crowd on any given day is composed of seniors,” says Joey. The menu at the Haymaker offers a wide variety of foods and something for all tastes, from meat lovers to vegetarians. Vegetarian options (such as veggie patties) can be substituted for meat at no additional cost, notes Joey. Another bonus is that the menu is not complicated to understand, even with its exciting creations. The menu comes from a family grill that, to quote Joey, “offers both Midwestern comfort food and interesting in-house culinary creations.” At Haymaker, breakfasts are made on-site, almost all from scratch, except for the breads, which are all fresh-baked from local bakeries. Examples of breakfast dishes include California and Arizona omelettes, Haymaker Benedict and huevos rancheros. The restaurant is open for breakfast 7-10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and 7-11:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. The meats served for lunch and dinner (beef, pork and chicken) are fresh and never frozen, says Joey. Examples of lunch and dinner items include burgers and sandwiches of many varieties, teriyaki bistroloin bowl, St. Louis ribs and Joey’s

Joey Lucidi opened the first Haymaker Restaurant Company location (24762 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway in Peoria) in October 2013. primavera. There are also specials for seniors. The Haymaker closes for dinner at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Much of the advertising for Haymaker is done by word-of-mouth, says Joey. Nonetheless, two of the other successful marketing devices used by the restaurant are coupons, which generally promote a summer item, and the burger of the month, which is a yearround specialty. If a burger of the month is highly successful, it could become a part of the regular menu, notes Joey. Children eat for free on Wednesdays at Haymaker. Also, the restaurant offers a different dinner special every night of the week. “Some menu items are exceptionally popular,” says Joey. “For instance, the Peoria restaurant serves between 35 and 40 pounds of
pulled pork per night.” In addition to the menu being the same at all Haymaker locations, so too is the basic restaurant decor. For instance, all Haymaker locations have a “Buffy” — a buffalo head mounted on the wall of the bar, which is made out of brick. Furthermore, “each bar has the best selection of whiskey in the Phoenix area,” says Joey. Also, written on the walls at each Haymaker location, boldly and proudly, are the “Pledge of Allegiance” and “Grace before Meals.” Joey says, “This restaurant company firmly believes in God, country and family.” For more information on The Haymaker Restaurant Company, call 623-5661515 (Peoria) or 623-5369000 (Goodyear), or visit www.haymakeraz.com.

Let Family-Operated Sun City Roofing Find a Solution to Your Roofing Problems By Roberta Meehan© Do you have problems with your roof? Are you missing shingles or pieces of tile? How is your urethane roof? Has your flat roof been properly sealed? When was your roof — regardless of type — last inspected? Depending on how you answered the questions above, it could be time for you to call Sun City Roofing, a family-owned and operated enterprise run by Joe Watson and his sons George, James and Joe Jr. The Watsons, who together have more than 30 years’ experience in the roofing industry, pride themselves in their reputation and customer service. Sun City Roofing has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and is listed on Angie’s
List. “Potential customers want credibility and experience. We’ve got both,” says George Watson. Sun City Roofing works with all types of roofs and all types of roofing problems, including roofs that have sun lights and/ or solar panels. Arizona’s weather can be brutal on roofs, particularly here in the Valley, notes George. “The roof is an integral part of any structure,” he explains. “That includes not only houses but also roofs on any functional building. “Horrendous heat followed by rain or monsoons and then followed by more heat can wreak havoc on any roof and, if there is a problem with the roof, that problem can spread
Time for a new roof?
Arizona’s hot summers and monsoons can cause major damage to your roofs exterior and underlayment. Don’t wait until you have a leak, call Sun City Roofing to inspect your homes roof today! Winter residents should have their roof checked to help prevent costly repairs.
How old is your roof?

to any part of the building’s infrastructure,” he continues. “Damage can then occur to the underlayment, the insulation, the drywall, the wood frame, or the stucco — in addition to whatever is inside the building. This is especially true of water damage. People tend to think of roof problems in terms of leaks, but the underlying problem may have to do with improper pipe and vent flashings, broken tiles, or improper underlayment installation, to name a few.” Most roofs in Arizona are classified as tile, shingle or urethane. Flat roofs are most likely to be urethane (technically called elastomeric), while tiles and shingles are more common on vaulted roofs. Sheet metal roofing is also an option and should be discussed separately with an appropriate roofer, suggests George. The tiles used in tile roofing are usually clay, sandcast or concrete. These tiles have an underlayment of felt, which could be organic. “This felt, which is what actually provides the waterproofing, decays and
must be replaced every 12–20 years,” says George. “Sometimes sooner.” Shingles, which come in numerous styles, qualities, and colors, are normally made of an organic or fiberglass material that has been saturated with asphalt and then coated with various weather-resistant minerals. In general, both tiles and shingles weather about the same, and in both cases, the weathering properties depend on the base materials used, notes George. Urethane (also called polyurethane) roofs keep best, but the urethane must be coated every seven years in order to prevent weather damage, suggests George. “As an advantage, urethane is also very lightweight and thus adds little to the external force or pressure on the structure,” he explains. “Polyurethane, in its spray form, can also be used effectively to repair existing roofing systems.” Regardless of the type of roofing one has, Sun City Roofing recommends a 10-

Trust Your Car or Truck to
Exclusively Imports
Get Service and Repairs for Less By Heather Wright Schlichting© Does your heart sink when a warning light flashes on your car’s dashboard? Do you dread taking your car to the dealership for regular maintenance because of the high cost? Put your fears aside and know that there is a reputable auto repair shop that has the same diagnostic equipment, tools and parts as a dealership, as well as a trained, professional staff. Exclusively Imports is located at 13365 W. Foxfire Dr., along 134th Dr. just north of Bell and east of Grand. They are experts at servicing your Toyota, Lexus, or any Japanese-, Asiansourced or American-made car or truck — usually for a lower cost than a dealership. “We use genuine Toyota and Lexus parts and can cover your extended warranty repairs just like your dealer,” says Michael Price, who, along with his wife, Kelly, owns and operates Exclusively Imports. Factory-trained master technicians at Exclusively Imports perform the repairs and maintenance your vehicle needs. Their team is highly trained, with a labor rate of $85 per hour, versus $110 to $125 that you will pay at a dealership, Michael notes. Exclusively Imports’ services include regular maintenance for your vehicle at 15,000, 30,000 and 60,000 miles, in addition to timing belt replacement, complete brake jobs, tires, alignments and engine light diagnostics. They have access to the Toyota Information System which keeps them up-to-date with industry issues and service bulletins. Celebrating 26 years in the auto repair industry, Michael is a native of Southern California where he received a scholarship in high school and used the money to buy his first set of tools. As an apprentice for a Japanese vehicle repair shop, he eventually started his own facility, Saddleback Imports,

in Laguna Hills, Calif. In 2005, Michael moved to Arizona and began working for a local shop, but soon realized that the Northwest Valley needed an import specialist. He opened Exclusively Imports in Surprise where he and his wife have provided exclusive service and been the repair choice for more than 1,500 West Valley import owners. Rounding out Michael’s team, three experienced ASE-certified technicians bring their skills and professionalism to Exclusively Imports and pledge to create a relationship you can trust when it comes to servicing and repairing your Asiansourced automobile. “Our education never stops,” Michael continues. “We attend classes to keep up with the latest technology, so we can remain specialists in our field.” Even though they are a smaller, more intimate shop than many of their dealership counterparts, Exclusively Imports’ multiple service bays allow them to fix most repairs while —

you wait. If you are unable to wait while your vehicle is being repaired and need a ride to work or home, Kelly drives a free shuttle service to get you where you need to be. To keep your car running smoothly and in the best shape possible, the shop maintains a repair history for each customer’s car or truck. This is just one of the many ways Exclusively Imports takes the time to know their customers as well as their cars — making the repair process seamless. “Our mission statement is to ‘Create a Relationship You Can Trust’,” says Michael. “We pride ourselves on taking the time to explain to customers just what repairs we think are necessary, and why.” This type of personal attention is rare coming from a dealer’s service manager, because he or she doesn’t actually work on the car or truck, he says. “At Exclusively Imports, we take the time to explain to a customer why a part went bad, and what doesn’t need repair now, but may need atten-

tion at a later date.” Building trust with their customers sets Exclusively Imports apart from many of their competitors. This is evident in the many referrals they receive from satisfied customers. “Referrals are the number-one source of new business for us,” says Michael. “We’ve had customers refer us in blogs online and we’ve been recommended by other local vendors.” According to Michael, Exclusively Imports has never had a complaint from an unhappy customer. “Our goal is to get it right the first time,” he explains. Besides Toyota and Lexus, Exclusively Imports offers service on the following Japanese nameplates: Scion, Nissan, Infiniti, Honda, Acura and Subaru. They also service Korean- and American-made cars. Exclusively Imports is open Monday thru Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Call 623-537-5444 to schedule your appointment and experience for yourself why they are the premier import repair facility in the West Valley.

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

Turn a Bad Dog Into an Obedient Pooch Is your dog bad to the bone? Does your sweet Jack Russel guard all doors from intruders -- friends and family included? Or is it your boxer puppy that won’t stop shredding socks and underwear? Some of the cutest pooches have the worst
manners. Whether you’re at work or just in another room, their mischievous play may lead to anything from home repairs to staggering vet bills. If you are a frustrated pet owner, here are five dog-training tips:
1. Proper exercise is key: A majority of behavior issues stem from a lack of proper exercise. At least one 30-minute walk per day is sufficient for most dogs. Playing in the backyard or in the house does not count as exercise. 2. Buy a dog backpack for walks: This allows your dog to have a job and adds weight with objects like water bottles or hand weights so the dog expends
more energy. 3. Challenge your dog with brain puzzles: A mentally tired dog will not spend time thinking about how to get in the garbage or waste breath yipping at neighbors. 4. Take a training class: Getting your dog to respect you is critical to having your dog listen to you. 5. Send your dog to a camp or hire someone to take Fido on a walk. A tired dog can be a good dog.
