The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook Edited by Kate White (Quirk Books, $24.95.)
This wickedly delightful cookbook features more than 100 recipes contributed by such legendary mystery authors as Sandra Brown, J.A. Jance, Sue Grafton and Mary Higgins Clark. In addition to the recipes, there are full-color illustrations, mischievous sidebars revealing links between food and foul play, and dozens of fun facts, such as lethal plants found in the family garden. The cookbook’s recipes are divided into seven main sections: Breakfast, Appetizers, Soups & Salads, Entrees, Side Dishes, Desserts and Cocktails. Kate White, former editor in chief at Cosmopolitan and The New York Times’ best-selling author of the Bailey Weggins mystery series, offers insights and facts about major fictional characters. Whether it’s a hard-boiled breakfast, thrilling entree or cozy dessert, no one knows as much about the importance of stomach contents as these illustrious members of the Mystery Writers of America. Among the recipes are James Patterson’s Grandma’s Killer Chocolate Cake, Sue Grafton’s Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwich, Nelson DeMille’s Male Chauvinist Pigs in a Blanket and Alison Gaylin’s Smoking Gun Margarita. Whether you’re planning a sinister dinner party or simply looking to whip up some comfort food, this cunning collection could just be the solution. For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

C OUCH THEATRE By Sam Struckhoff© PICKS OF THE MONTH These hits are now available on DVD and Blu-ray. “Timbuktu” (PG-13) — In the rolling dunes of Mali, alongside centuries-old cultural artifacts, families face the threat of fundamentalism forcing its way into the rhythm of life. Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed) lives simply, herding livestock with his wife, daughter and an adopted child who helps with the work. The pastoral scene is infested with newly arrived clerics and heavily-armed young men enforcing rules against everything from music and clothing to soccer and socializing. Director Abderrahmane Sissako creates an enchanting portrayal of fully realized, authentic-feeling characters. It’s a movie that radiates importance and love for life, without burdening the audience with heavy-handed delivery. “Old Fashioned” (PG-13) — Clay runs an antique shop in a Midwestern college town where a spontaneous young woman stops her car. Clay was once a lusty lad in a fraternity, but is now a 30-something who espouses the virtues of chivalry and chastity. Oh, how charming, you may think at this point. However you feel about dating, Clay is a blowhard. He pontificates about lust in the most un-cute, self-righteous way. As you watch, you hope dearly that the young woman realizes what’s going on and gets back in her car. TV SERIES • “Ripper Street” Third Season • “Newsroom” Third Season

Save Money on Groceries By Matilda Charles© Many seniors on a fixed income have problems affording groceries. The National Institute on Aging has some helpful tips on how to save on your grocery bills. • Read the weekly sales flyers and try to plan your menu around what’s featured. Pick up a few extras, but only if they are sale items you’d normally buy or will use before the expiration date. • Clip coupons and use them. Try store brands —

it might surprise you that they’re comparable to name brands. • Reconsider whether to buy convenience foods. Instant hot cereals, rice, entrees and soups will cost you more. • Divide bulk purchases with a neighbor, and both of you can save money. If chicken is on sale and you both take half, you’ll have enough for a few meals and can freeze the rest. You can do the same with anything that comes in large packages or that contains

Bigger isn’t always cheaper. • Shop for foods that are nutrient-dense: seafood and lean meats, vegetables, fruit and whole grains. Spend your money there before you buy snack foods. • Consider free or lowcost meals: Some senior centers often host a monthly luncheon for a reduced price.

K ITCHEN DIVA Cucumbers are a go-to vegetable for salads, but there are many ways to incorporate this cool, crunchy vegetable into everything from appetizers to drinks. Cucumbers are one of the oldest cultivated crops and have more than 100 different varieties. It’s believed they were first cultivated in India. Cucumbers have about 15 calories per 100 grams, and the peel is a good source of dietary fiber and is a mild diuretic, which helps to eliminate toxic materials in the gut. It’s also a great source of potassium and is low in sodium, which helps with blood pressure and heart rates. Cucumbers are high in vitamin K, which helps with bone strength. It also has established a role in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain. You can use cucumbers in a variety of ways. Fresh, cleaned cucumbers can be enjoyed as they are. You also can cut cucumbers into cubes with the skin and add them to vegetable or fruit salads. Finely chopped, fresh cucumber slices are delicious when mixed with yogurt, cumin, coriander,
By Angela Shelf Medearis© pepper and salt to make cucumber raita, the popular Indian condiment that adds a cooling effect to spicy dishes. Cucumbers also can be blended into a juice and combined with other vegetables and fruits, like my recipe for strawberry cucumber lime coolers. It’s the perfect way to cool off with cucumbers on a hot summer day. Strawberry Cucumber Lime Cooler 3 to 4 large peeled, cubed English cucumbers (3/4 pound) 2 cups frozen strawberries 2/3 cups sugar 1/2 cup fresh lime juice 4 cups cold water or clear soda water, unflavored seltzer or sparkling water Step 1. Combine cucumbers, strawberries, sugar and lime juice in a blender; blend until cucumbers and strawberries are smooth. Step 2. Pour mixture through medium mesh sieve placed over a pitcher, and press it with a spoon to remove any lumps. Pour cold water, soda, seltzer or sparkling water into the pitcher and stir until well-combined. Step 3. Pour into glasses with ice and garnish with thinly sliced strawberries, limes or cucumbers. Serve immediately.
Fresh strawberries and cucumber mix together nicely in a blended summer cooler.

HOLLYWOOD Chris Pratt is poised for superstardom. He first gained notoriety in 2009 on “Parks and Recreation” as goofy Andy Dwyer. Unlike most series actors who are too busy to take on film work because of the demands of a weekly show, Pratt started doing Chris Pratt one film a year. He did “Moneyball” in 2011, “Zero Dark Thirty” in 2012 and “Her” in 2013. In 2014 he did double-duty: first, “The Lego Movie,” which cost $60 million and grossed $469 million, and the Lego Movie Video Game, followed by the blockbuster film “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which cost $196 million and took in $774 million.
By Tony Rizzo© As soon as he’d completed 117 episodes of “Parks and Recreation,” he jumped into the $180 million epic “Jurassic World,” which grossed $209 million during its opening weekend last month. But Pratt won’t stop to rest. He’ll soon jump right into the remake of “The Magnificent Seven,” with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, due out January 2017. Mark Wahlberg is currently shooting two movies, the comedy “Daddy’s Home” with Will Ferrell, and the disaster drama “Deep Water Horizon,” with Kurt Russell, John Malkovich and Kate Hudson, out September 2016. Scarlett Johansson has three major films being released in 2016. February will bring “Hail Caesar!” April will see the live-action Disney film “The Jungle Book.” And on May 6, “Captain America: Civil War” will be released.

While Labradors have topped the American Kennel Club’s list of popular dogs for more than two decades, small dogs are gaining ground. Out of the top ten breeds, four — Yorkshire terriers, dachshunds, miniature poodles, and shih tzus — are small breeds. The dog that made the largest jump in popularity 2009? The Havanese, which weighs between seven and 13 pounds. Small dogs make great companions for a reason. Many are smart, personable and ideally sized for smaller homes. But small dogs do come with special needs, and owners should be aware of them. For example, due to the small size of their mouths, dogs under 20 pounds have a greater risk of dental problems.
Owners of small dogs should be extra diligent about their pets’ oral hygiene. Scheduling regular checkups can help vets catch problems in tooth and jaw development. Those with puppies should pay attention when their dogs start losing their milk teeth. If adult teeth don’t emerge from the gums, there could be a problem requiring a vet visit. Adult dog owners should examine their dogs’ gums for signs of infection, like discoloration or bleeding. Abnormalities may be signs of periodontal disease, which requires treatment by a veterinarian. Prevention is just as important as detection. Brushing pets’ teeth daily is one of the best ways to maintain oral health.

A UTO TALK
Not every car owner intends to keep their vehicle forever. But if you plan to keep a vehicle for less than five years, resale value should be an important consideration. There’s an old saying that a car loses 30 percent of its value as soon as it’s driven off the sales lot. While that’s true to an extent, it’s difficult to attach an exact number. The standard for car depreciation is that all cars, in general, lose about 15 to 20 percent of their value each year. A car buying service can help you decide which models are going to retain their value the best. Before purchasing a vehicle, make sure to research which makes, models, trim levels and options tend to have the highest residual and resale values. For example, choose a conservative color and ensure the vehicle has features such as ABS, airbags, electric windows and adjustable steering. While you own the vehicle, keep in mind that caring for your car is just as important as choosing wisely. It is recommend that you follow your owner’s manual for suggested maintenance intervals. To help your vehicle retain most of its value, remember to: • Fix dents, scratches and dings as soon as possible to prevent more serious problems down the line. • Follow the proper maintenance schedule and keep all receipts. • If you receive notice of a recall, complete all repairs. • Make sure your vehicle is washed and detailed regularly, and avoid smoking and eating inside the vehicle. • Keep annual mileage low (average is 13,500 per year). Aside from obvious essential features in Arizona, such as air conditioning, resale value also is improved if the vehicle has an auto-

matic transmission, leather seats, moonroof and rearentertainment system. Car buying experts caution against adding too many features: appearance packages, such as pinstripes or graphics; chrome wheels; satellite radio; telematics devices; and autodimming mirrors. When it comes time to find a new home for your vehicle, determine which option would provide the best value: Trading it in or
selling it to a private party. If you decide to sell your vehicle, keep in mind that auto sales tend to be highest in March and April. Selling your vehicle in September or October is the least-desirable time because of an influx of used-car inventory from companies that dispose older vehicles in preparation for newer models.

Q: I have a Buddy Lee doll that I received in the late 1940s. It is still dressed in its original Lee overalls and cap. I rarely played with this doll, so although it is not mint, it is in excellent condition. I have been offered $150 for it, but thought I would check with you first. — Barbara, Sun City West, Ariz. A: Buddy Lee dolls have molded hair, painted eyes and are jointed at the shoulder, with stiff hips and legs. They are dressed in Lee clothes. Most of the Buddy Lee dolls I have seen do not have their original clothes, so this makes the one you have especially desirable. According to “Blue Book Dolls & Values” by Jan Foulke and published by Hobby House Press, your doll is valued in the $450 to $550 range, so my advice is explore more options before you accept the offer you have. Q: I have about a dozen perfume bottles that originally belong to my grandmother. Most of the bottles seem to be from the 1930s and ’40s. How can I find out more about them? — Mike, Rye, N.Y. A: One of the better organizations for collectors is the International Perfume Bottle Association. Contact is www.perfumebottles.org, and 732-492-2003. There are several excellent references. One of my favorites
This Buddy Lee doll from the 1940s is worth between $450 and $550.
is “The Wonderful World of Collecting Perfume Bottles: Identification & Value Guide” by Jane Flanagan and published by Collector Books. Q: My dad was stationed in Japan during the 1960s, and when he returned to the United States he brought my mom a set of Nippon china. Although it is a beautiful set, I can’t imagine ever using it. — Sarah, Grand Junction, Colo. A: Perhaps it’s time to contact the International Nippon Collectors’ Club to see if there is any interest. Contact is www.nipponcollectorsclub. com, and 301-748-2427.

Anacapa Restaurant Builds Reputation on Exceptional Food and Top-Notch Service By Carisa Frisby© Do you enjoy fine dining? Are you looking for cuisine that’s a little more unique? Do you enjoy the ambiance of a country club but don’t live within a country club community? If you answered yes to all three questions, Anacapa Restaurant is the place for you. Anacapa, located in the Corte Bella Country Club in Sun City West, is conveniently open to the public. Boasting amazing views of the golf course, this homeowner’s association-owned restaurant provides patrons with a different, more elegant type of dining atmosphere. In addition to the views

Running the kitchen is executive chef Dan Haywood, who has more than 25 years of culinary expertise and experience. “I started locally at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute and then worked for the Boulders Resort as a pantry cook working up to sous chef,” says Haywood. “I then moved on to Hawaii, where I met my wife, then on to Vermont and then back to Arizona. Working at Anacapa has been a great

HERE’S A TIP
By JoAnn Derson©
Clean and save takeout food containers rather than purchasing commercial plastic containers. They are all the same basically, and you will not be at a loss if you need to throw one away, leave it behind or send leftovers home with a guest. ••• To preserve your battery life on your smartphone, remember to close out applications that you’re not using. Shut down and restart your phone from time to time as well. ••• Keep musty smells out of your linen closet by stashing a box of baking soda on one of the shelves, just as you would in the kitchen. ••• Got too many coffee cups? Add potting soil and a small flower to give as gifts to brighten someone’s day. ••• Want to eat your nine servings of fruits and veggies a day? Keep fresh fruit out and in view to increase the amount you eat. Cut and otherwise prepare vegetables and store them front and center in your refrigerator. Plan your meals around the vegetables instead of the protein. ••• After you clip the coupons you want to keep from your Sunday paper inserts, pass them along to your neighbors. They may use different products and so may want your coupons. ••• Use baking soda to scrub away stuck-on food on your grill. Sprinkle it on the metal brush, and scrub away. If your grate is beyond the power of fire and baking soda, remove it and lay it on the ground on some newspaper. Spray with oven cleaner and let sit (keep pets and kids away from it). Rinse with a garden hose and replace on the grill.

Go Green With Your Laundry Laundry’s one of those never-ending chores, and it does more than eat into your schedule. According to EnergyStar, the average household does 400 loads of laundry each year, consuming 13,500 gallons of water in the process. Those clothes need to be dried; the U.S. Department of Energy says that the average household spends $70 a year just to operate dryers. And that’s before the waste created by detergent bottles and the environmental effects of phosphates, which create destructive algae blooms, are considered. Here are some ways you can save money and the environment while you do your laundry: • Try air drying your clothes: Your dryer is the second largest energy hog in your home after your refrigerator. Even if you only cut back on drying once in a while, you’ll end up saving money. Try using a clothesline or a drying rack instead. Dry similar types of clothing together. Bath towels will take longer to dry than synthetic fabrics, so make sure they don’t touch when you put them out to dry. • Only wash full loads of laundry: Washing one large load uses less energy than
washing two smaller loads, even if you wash the small loads on low or medium settings. • Use lower temperature settings: Wash clothes using warm or cold water instead of hot, and use cold water for all rinses.

to keep things fresh,” says Haywood. “The staff loves the challenge of creating a new menu.” For regular dining at Anacapa reservations are not required, but they are recommended, especially during peak season, as seating is on a first come first serve basis, suggests Haywood. For patrons with special dietary needs, Anacapa can accommodate guests who are on gluten-free diets, those with food allergies and vegetarians. “All of our meals are made in house from scratch so we control what goes into them,” says Haywood. In addition to great dining, Anacapa also has meeting rooms available. If you are interested in a fresh new venue for your next business seminar, company function, wedding or private party, look no further. From small groups of up to 10, to larger groups of between 150 and 175, the restaurant has meeting rooms available to fit every need. An updated audio/ visual system, projectors, wireless Internet access and large-screen televisions are available. Wonderful catering selections and a variety of dining options can be provided. Last year, Anacapa implemented a community volunteer marketing group to increase awareness across the West Valley. “Our mission statement defines what the Anacapa is all about,” says marketing manager Joel Piaskowski. “Our business model is to provide quality, upscale casual dining and banquet services to residents and the West Valley communities by incorporating gracious hospitality and impeccable service in a country club atmosphere.” For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630
Anacapa underwent a remodeling recently. After a thorough search for a design team, the restaurant was closed for several weeks while the remodel took place. “After about 10 years, Anacapa was ready for a new look to remain relevant to the community,” says Fred Hernandez, the restaurant’s food, beverage and catering manager. “Everything was changed — the paint, tile, carpeting, tables, chairs, walls and more. The end result is an exciting new look and ambiance that has pleased everyone.” Anacapa is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and closed on Mondays. A full service restaurant and bar, lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., while dinner is served from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Patrons can enjoy happy hour specials 2:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, and the Sunday breakfast buffet runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In addition to the Sunday buffet, Anacapa offers buffets for special occasions such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Mardi Gras.

Grand Season Business Profile
The Team at King Automotive Repair Work Together Like a Well-Oiled Machine By Pamela Holechek© A proposed bridge at Grand Avenue and the Loop 303 in Surprise wasn’t going to keep Dan Groman and Doug Campbell out of business. So they brought their more than 50 years of combined automotive expertise to a former Southwest Ambulance station in Sun City and opened King Automotive Repair in April 2014. “Our crew has worked together for 17 years and in that time, our operation has become a well-oiled machine,” says Groman, co-owner and manager of King Automotive Repair. Co-owner Campbell is the company’s lead mechanic. The team at King Automotive Repair services, repairs, and rebuilds or replaces engines and transmissions for most vehicles. “When you work with us, you’ll get the complete service of a team that understands your vehicle’s engine inside and out,” says Groman. “We can take care of your engine no matter what type of vehicle you have.” Other services performed by King Automotive Repair include air conditioning, brakes, steering and suspension, and
routine maintenance. “Cars are expensive, but you don’t have to purchase a new vehicle every few years when you work with us for complete routine maintenance,” says Groman. “We’ll make sure everything is working properly and help you avoid costly repairs or purchases in the future.” Groman says being an independent repair shop owner amid national competitors has not altered his day-to-day operation. “Back when I worked in the corporate world, I was told by a vice president, ‘Don’t be concerned about what the competition does. Be concerned about what you do,’” says Groman. “That has always stuck with me and that is exactly what we do.” Groman couples that sage advice with a King Automotive Repair focus that includes consistency of service, excellence in workmanship, fair pricing, free one-hour diagnostic testing, free shuttle service, a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty, and the honoring of most extended and nationwide warranties, as well as the policy to put customers’ needs first. “We’ve maintained
a 98 percent repeat-customer base,” he says. Customers can be confident that King Automotive Repair has the remedy for vehicle breakdowns, even the kind of automotive setbacks that evolve from a do-it-yourself repair that finishes with leftover parts and this question: “How could that possibly happen to my vehicle?”
“Dave Coffman will have the answer,” says Groman, referring to one of King Automotive Repair’s veteran mechanics. “He’s been a mechanic for 25 years and has a photographic memory.” Another mechanic of note at King Automotive Repair is Tyler Campbell, who is Doug’s brother. Suppose that a driver

reads this sentence found on the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s emission-testing pamphlet and panics: “1996 and newer on-board diagnostics-tested vehicles will not pass the test if the check engine light is on.” “No worries,” says Groman. “King Automotive Repair’s free one-hour diagnostic test, without having to make an appointment, can determine the cause of this dashboard alert. After the test, I will discuss the results with the customer and provide an estimate for repairs.” King Automotive Repair, located at 10002 W. Santa Fe Drive in Sun City, is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For assistance or to make an appointment, call 623-933-4990. “I didn’t start out to be a gearhead, but I am a people person who has learned about cars and sales,” says Groman. “Now I really enjoy this business.”
VET’S POST It used to be that a veteran could literally put a name and phone number on a piece of paper, write a line or two about wanting to file a claim, and the Department of Veterans Affairs would be responsible for getting in touch to help fill out a form. The start date began when that first correspondence was received, and the veteran had a year to finish sending the information. Now back-of-the-envelope filing is no more. As of March, claims must follow a set of new requirements and be on specific forms to be considered. As a result, a second lawsuit has been filed against the VA. Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars have added their voices to a suit filed earlier by the American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America, AMVETS and the National Veterans Legal Ser-
RAIN GUTTERS By Freddy Groves© vices Program. Their objection: Veterans who can’t access the online forms or who cannot fill them out not only lose benefits, but lose the start date on the claim. Best advice: Find someone to help you go online and start a file, either a VSO, your grandchild, the chaplain at your American Legion Post or your attorney’s secretary. You’ll then have a year to complete the information. Online, look for Form 21-0966, which is your Intent to File. Fill it out and send to your regional benefits office. Then you’ll need Form 21-526EZ, the form for officially filing your claim. If that’s impossible right now, call the VA at 1-800-8271000 and say that you intend to file. They’ll have to take your initial information over the phone. You then have a year to follow up.

15 Minutes of Daily Exercise is Good Enough the gold standard. It was shown to reduce the average risk of death by 30 percent. However, new research has shown that the recommended level of exercise didn’t consider the needs and health of seniors — more than 60 percent of whom weren’t up
By Matilda Charles© This is one piece of research a lot of seniors can really get behind: Exercising less than the recommended 30 minutes a day still has benefits. Until now, 30 minutes a day (or 150 minutes a week) of moderate exercise has been
to doing that much exercise (and were therefore likely to be discouraged from trying at all). A French study monitored the health and activity levels of seniors over the age of 65 for 13 years. The results were as follows: Those who did the 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (for example, brisk walking) had a 57 percent lower risk of death. That’s significantly more than the 30 percent previously calculated for that level of exercise.
The big news, however, for those who aren’t fans of exercise, is that 15 minutes a day, five days a week, is a good target for seniors. That can include swimming, riding a bike, brisk walking, dancing, ping-pong, badminton — anything that gets you moving for 15 minutes. Granted, that 15 minutes a day (or 75 minutes per week) only gets you a 22 percent lower risk for mortality, but it’s a start.

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

Tips on Increasing Mobility and Safety in the Home You’re getting older, and those day-to-day tasks that never took a second thought are becoming more difficult. Your kids are urging you to downsize and move to an apartment in a senior living community where everything would be on one level, but
that’s the last thing you want to do. After all, home is where your heart is, and it’s where you want to stay. Fortunately for today’s seniors, there are many devices that make aging easier and safer. These devices can also increase mobility in the home.
One device is a stairlift. Stairlifts can be designed for straight or curved staircases, even outdoor patios and front steps. If you’re unsteady on your feet and are at risk of falling, or if you suffer from painful osteoarthritis, here are some more ways to increase mobility while staying safe in your home. • Reduce clutter and move tripping hazards, like stacks of books, off the floor. • If you live with cats, put
collars with bells on them so you always know where they are. Pets, too, can be a tripping hazard. • Consider using a cane. Today’s canes come in pretty colors and patterns and will help you keep your balance as you’re walking around the house. • Invest in a grabber pole so you can reach cans and bags of food and other items stored on high shelves without using a stepladder.

On July 13, 1985, in London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. The 16-hour concert was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 countries. On July 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon stuns the nation by announcing that he will visit communist China. Since the Communists came to power in China in 1949, Nixon had been one of its most vociferous critics. On July 16, 1863, the draft riots enter their fourth day in New York City in response to the Enrollment Act, which allowed wealthier citizens to pay $300 to avoid military duty. More than 1,000 people died in the violence, which was only contained by the arrival of Union troops from the battlefield at Gettysburg. On July 18, 1999, New York Yankee David Cone pitches the 16th perfect game in major-league history with a no-hit, no-walk victory over the Montreal Expos. Cone needed only 88 pitches, 68 of them strikes, to set down 27 Expos in a row. On July 19, 1879, Doc Holliday kills a man for shooting up his saloon. Despite his reputation as a deadly gunslinger, Doc Holliday engaged in just eight shootouts and killed only two men. The second was at the O.K. Corral in 1881. Crossword Solution
