LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Merry Christmas from
S EXPERIENCE OVER 30 YEAR
A2Z
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! While the temperatures outside are dropping, I don’t have to tell you the beauty of spending the winter in the Valley is the chill never lasts too long—and the sun is guaranteed to shine. As we approach 2016, you may notice The Grand Season undergoing a slight makeover. Our hope is these changes will make the magazine easier to use and read. We appreciate your support of our local advertisers, and look forward to serving our readers and advertisers as 2016 unfolds. We’re also excited about our new and improved website. Visit us at www. thegrandseason.com. Check out the online edition of the magazine, calendar of events, local business profiles, a venue for you to place your own online classifieds and more.

ANTIQUE ANSWERS By Larry Cox
Q: My mother collected cookbooks during the 1930s and ‘40s. She has the 1943 edition of Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer. I understand that this particular edition is quite collectible. A neighbor has offered me $25 for it. Should I sell?— Lydia, Chesterfield, Missouri A: Don’t sell it. Joy of Cooking was originally published in 1931, compiled by Irma Rombauer and illustrated by her daughter, Marion. It was a rather straight-forward collection of recipes with a German-American twist. This cookbook, simply put, is one of the most famous and significant cookbooks in American history. The 1943 edition is especially interesting. Irma began revising her cookbook in 1942, keeping in mind that American cooking had changed since the start of World War II. Ration cards and shortages were commonplace. Her 1943 edition even featured meat substitutes, using leftover foods and sugarless desserts. I have seen several copies of this edition sell in the $75-$150 range. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

FAMILY FUN
CONNECT THE DOTS
This holiday season bridge the generation gap between you and your grandchildren.
As the holidays approach, take a few moments to think about the time you’ll have with your grandchildren. While their attitudes, actions or appearance may be worlds away from what you expected, you can bridge the gap between generations by being prepared ahead of time. Background Check Find out what your grandchildren like to do. During the toddler and early elementary school years, most kids love playing games and exploring the world. But as they age, screen time absorbs their time and attention more. To get to know the teens in your life, plan a trip to the mall, arcade or local sporting events. Child Proof Your Home If your family is planning to stay with you, think about putting away things you cherish and placing them out of toddler reach. If your grandchildren are a little older, make sure your Wi-Fi and cable channels are
working. Find out when family members can use the community amenities. Nothing is more frustrating than arriving at the pool only to find it’s Adult Swim. Stock the Pantry Find out what types of items they’ll want to have in your refrigerator, freezer and pantry. Regardless of their age, great snacks and chilled drinks go a long way to getting your grandkids spending more time talking with you at the kitchen table. Create Conversations Place jars around house filled with questions you would ask to get to know someone. Fill other jars with questions your grandkids can ask about you. Make sure the questions are open ended (meaning they can’t be answered with yes or no). Avoid asking teens about grades and relationships. Rather, ask questions about interests, activities and future opportunities. Chill The typical reality of spending holidays with family is that at some point, everyone will need a break from each other and the chaos of group think. Don’t be afraid to nap or go for a walk. Your family will be there when you wake or return, and you will have given them a welcome opportunity to put their head down to check the status of their life online.

Burns Dentistry would like to wish all of our patients a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! During the holiday season we are reminded of how amazing it is to serve our patients and be a part of this great community. While Burns Dentistry is set apart by our standard of excellence and commitment to offering our patients the best dental care available, one of our core values is giving back to our community. Last month Burns Dentistry had the opportunity to host an incredible event for Veterans Day—over 300 people attended—at Briarwood Country Club to celebrate the men and women who sacrificed so much to make our country great. In addition, Dr. Burns donated $2,000 to the Veterans Association to help support the Hire Heroes USA organization which helps our returning vets receive the job training they need to FOR ADVERTISING CALLmilitary (623) 594-1630 transition to jobsINFORMATION outside the community.
In addition to the generous contribution to the Veterans Association, Dr. Burns also donated $1,000 to St Mary’s Food Bank for Thanksgiving Turkeys last month.

VETERANS POST
YMCA Programs for Vets Did you know there are special programs at the YMCA just for veterans? The alliance between the armed forces and the YMCA goes all the way back to 1861, when YMCA members provided relief services to the military in local encampments. An expanded agreement pairs Veterans Benefits Administration regional offices and Veterans Health Administration facilities with YMCAs to make sure veterans are connected with resources in their communities. While not every YMCA site has the program, the variety of benefits offered at many is quite broad. Typical programs include health and fitness, aquatics, camping, family, child care, arts, community development, sports, diabetes prevention programs, youth afterschool, preschool enrichment, aerobics and indoor track, cross training and more. To find a YMCA near to you, visit www.ymca. net/military-outreach, scroll down and enter a zip code to locate the nearest participating YMCA to you. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM
Jesse Ramirez, a native Arizonan, is passionate about feeding people in SHARE need. Not long after he started the Valley View Community food-bank, & CARE Jesse and his team were feeding 300 people daily in 2007. “He says, 48% of his clients are senior citizens over 65, and 32% are either children or adults in their 20s.” Each week the food bank distributes 34,000 pounds of food. You, may ask, Where does the food come from? Jesse say’s most of the food is donated from private food drives, churches, Sam’s Club, local scouting groups, private donations, businesses and organizations. Each food box contains fresh produce, can goods, beans, rice, pasta, meat and dry foods. Unlike other foodbanks, Jesse says, “We don’t charges clients a fee for the boxes, they are distributed for free to those in need.” The main purpose of the Valley View Community Food Bank is to supply people in the community with wholesome food.” Jesse says, “When you combine current unemployment rates with higher food costs, the number of families needing assistance continues to grow. In order to keep up with the need, we honestly could use some additional help.” If you are interested in helping Jesse’s team meet the need, you can participate in various ways including, volunteering at the food bank or donate food (no dented cans) or money. For more information, contact Valley View Community Food Bank at 623-933-3358.

COUCH THEATER By Sam Struckhoff
Now Out on DVD and Blu-Ray! Mississippi Grind (R) Gerry (Ben Mendelsohn) has done a whole lot of gambling, and very little winning. Divorced, deluded and deep in debt to a tenacious loan shark (Alfre Woodard), poor Gerry pins his hopes on a younger, better player, Curtis (Ryan Reynolds). Gerry convinces Curtis to join him on a trip down the Mississippi River placing bets and flipping cards at every stop. Gerry is an addict with tragedy in his bones, but truly believes success and happiness is just a good streak away. 90 Minutes in Heaven (PG-13) Based on a real-life memoir, pastor Don Piper (Hayden Christensen) was in a head-on collision with a semi-truck on a narrow country bridge. He was declared dead by first responders due to such severe injuries. Through his recovery, Piper experienced tremendous emotion and physical pain. Piper says he saw heaven in all its glory, only to be ripped back to earth and returned to his broken body.

LIVE HAPPY
SMART TIPS FOR GIFT-GIVING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
.
Before racing out to the mall to pick up an oversized reindeer sweater for Aunt Sally and a set of drums for your 4-year-old nephew (fun for him, not so much for his parents), here are a few helpful holiday shopping thoughts based on the science of happiness. The Gift of Happiness Scientifically, the greatest predictor of happiness is, by far, social support—the breadth, depth and meaning in your relationships. So consider giving gifts that are activities, like a special evening at the local ice rink complete with hot chocolate and marshmallows. The key is to use these moments to really connect more deeply than normally. This reminds our brains of the deep social support that fuels our own happiness, as well as theirs. Encourage Savoring The difference between momentary pleasure and long-term positive memory is based on the ability to savor, or mentally return to, an event or feeling.
A gift that causes a spike in happiness at the moment but that you can’t remember even a week later is analogous to going on a fantastic vacation that you won’t recall. When shopping this season, think of gifts that will continue to benefit the recipient. For example, for your spouse, you could buy a personalized pillow with important dates in your relationship that will literally help that person savor special moments every time he or she sees it. The key is to pick a present that will continue to focus the recipient’s attention on positive, happy moments. Receiving Is as Important as Giving We’ve all heard that it’s better to give than receive, but the saying misses an important corollary: How you receive matters (a lot) to the giver’s happiness. If you receive well, your reaction to a gift can actually be a gift in and of itself. The problem is that many of us can’t receive gifts without our brains producing negative thoughts such as, “I’m not worthy of this present” or “Now I feel indebted to her.” Think about it: We’re happier when others are excited about our gifts and respond with joy and gratitude. By subtly changing our thoughts of guilt to “I am so grateful to her not only for the present, but also the friendship it represents,” we fuel greater levels of happiness for both the giver and ourselves.

MUST PLAY GOLF COURSES IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN
PUTTS & PARS
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club (wekopa.com): The two layouts on tribal land owned by the Ft. McDowell Yavapai nation just east of Scottsdale rival any in the area. The Cholla course, a Scott Miller design, has stunning scenery and holes that zigzag artfully through canyons, over ridges and down mountain slopes.
adapted from Golf magazine
Now that your friends and family are visiting from near and far, it’s the perfect time (and excuse) to play some of the best courses around. Troon North (troonnorthgolf.com): Still the king of the Scottsdale public “must-plays” thanks to a pair of courses that dish out cacti, arroyos, rock outcroppings and stunning vistas of Pinnacle Peak and the surrounding mountains.
Southern Dunes Golf Club (golfsoutherndunes.com): Located 25 minutes south of Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Intl. Airport, Southern Dunes is a big, bold, 7,300-yard layout and possibly Lee Schmidt’s and Brian Curley’s very best work (Fred Couples consulting). The Boulders (theboulders.com): Jay Morrish sculpted two superb courses from the prehistoric rocks that define this property in the town of Carefree.

To ensure a safe, enjoyable season for your fourlegged friends, keep these pet safety tips in mind. Be smart about stocking stuffers. When filling your pet’s stocking, don’t get carried away. Avoid items that have stuffing that pups can get into and eat. Don’t celebrate with a bang. Fireworks are popular on New Year’s Eve, but many animals are frightened by loud noises. To shield your pet, close the curtains and play familiar background noises to soothe them. Avoid dangerous decorations. Poinsettias are a holiday staple, but are also highly toxic for cats and dogs. Tinsel, too, can be harmful if swallowed, and can cause digestion problems, so avoid them both. Keep an eye on doggie-doors. When guests arrive, doors will be opening and closing constantly. If worried about a pet jail break, download a pet tracking app like Tagg, which attaches to your pet’s collar.

TRAVEL BUG
PLAN FOR YOUR VACATION TO START BEFORE YOU HEAD TO THE AIRPORT.
FIVE TIPS FOR STRESS-FREE HOLIDAY TRAVEL Americans took more than 11 million flights during the 2014 holiday season, and many experts believe that number is on track to grow this year. If you’re worried about long lines and flight delays, these tips can make your experience more enjoyable. TIP 1—PACK WISELY Even the most seasoned travelers can optimize the packing process. Shipping gifts will save space and help you avoid additional bag fees. If you do pack gifts, keep them unwrapped as the TSA may need to access them during screening. TIP 2—SKIP THE LINE Many people know printing their boarding pass or downloading a digital copy to their phone may help expedite flight check-in. Fewer people take advantage of opportunities to reduce time spent at security and customs checkpoints. If you’re traveling domestically, sign up for TSA PreCheck at www.tsa.gov for faster security screening. TIP 3—STAY CONNECTED As the number of travelers with smart phones continues to rise, mobile applications are becoming more popular travel tools. Take a few minutes to download the apps most relevant to you. Also, consider purchasing a power bank to help ensure you have enough juice to wait out flight delays. TIP 4—STAY HEALTHY Nothing ruins a trip like getting sick, so optimize your health before your trip by getting sleep, drinking water and exercising — all help boost your immune system. If you’re over 55 consider a seasonal flu vaccine. TIP 5—PROTECT YOURSELF Consider purchasing travel insurance. It’s important travelers prepare for unexpected events, especially during the holidays, such as trip cancellation, interruption, lost or stolen luggage, and emergency medical issues.

The National Retail Federation predicts a 4.1 percent increase in sales this year, with the average American set to spend an estimated $786 in the following categories: $459.87—gifts for family $80.00—gifts for friends $26.03—colleagues $30.43—others
January. Regions Bank, one of the largest U.S. banks, has advice for consumers on how to prepare financially for the holiday shopping season.
Whether shopping online or in-store, there’s often a temptation to spend too much on gifts,
YOU STOP WORKING AT 65. YOUR MONEY STOPS WORKING AT 65. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM. A funny thing happened on the way to the finish line. Because whatever retirement used to be, it isn’t anymore. So this is our commitment to you. We want to ensure that you have the resources to do what you want next in life. We will work as diligently to help grow and protect your money as you did earning it. Our unique culture of
independence gives each Raymond James financial advisor the freedom to offer objective, unbiased advice so they can meticulously tailor a long-term plan based solely on the financial well-being and specific goals of each client. It’s time to find out what a Raymond James financial advisor can do for you. LIFE WELL PLANNED.
Begin With the Golden Rule Spending on gifts shouldn’t exceed more than 1.5 percent of your annual income. Use this as a guide to determine how much to set aside to spend on gifts for your friends and family—and stick to it. Separate and Delegate Create a separate account to fund gift purchases and make regular contributions from your primary checking account on a weekly, or monthly basis. Only Buy What You Can Truly Afford Never leave home without a list of what you intend to buy, and be sure you have the money needed to cover your purchases at the store. Use Timing to Your Advantage While things like airline tickets should be booked far in advance, other items—toys in particular—often drop in price during the first two weeks in December. Sometimes it pays to wait, so be sure to check for deals before you head out shopping.

LOW-FAT PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE Nonstick cooking spray 8 sheets low-fat honey graham crackers 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar substitute or stevia 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 12 oz. one-third-less-fat cream cheese (room temp.) 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2/3 cup low-fat 2 percent Greek-style plain yogurt 2 large eggs, at room temperature 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Low-fat whipped topping, optional 1. Fill a roasting pan about half full with water and place on the lower rack to help prevent cheesecake from cracking. Heat oven to 325. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, the remaining 1/3 cup sugar substitute and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium until smooth and fluffy. Add yogurt, eggs and egg whites, reduce the mixer speed to low and beat until blended. Add the pumpkin, flour, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Beat until just combined. Stir with a spatula. 4. Pour the batter over the crust and rap the pan against the countertop. Place the cheesecake on the center rack in the oven. Bake until just set and the center wiggles slightly, 50 to 60 minutes. Turn the oven off and crack the door open. Let sit in the oven for 15 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Run a thin sharp knife between the cheesecake and the pan to release the sides. Cool completely, and then chill until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight. 5. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the sides of the pan. Allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature, 30-60 minutes. Top with low-fat whipped topping, if desired.

Restoring Confidence One Smile at a Time Geneva 2000 Dental & Denture Improves Far More Than Appearances Your smile is one of the first things people notice, but finding the confidence to show it while wearing dentures can be challenging. Let Geneva 2000 Dental & Denture Centre in Sun City West help you regain confidence with custom-fitted dentures and implants that look and feel as natural as your own teeth! Trevor W. Neate, owner of Geneva 2000 Dental & Denture Centre, Adhikar Dhakal, a Board Certified Denturist, and Dr. Brent Bentley, DMD, have been serving dental needs in Arizona for many years. “Geneva 2000 is unique in the way it mirrors natural teeth,” says Linda Rizzo, Practice Manager. “Unlike other dentures, Geneva 2000 uses different-shaped teeth for men and women to ensure that tooth size and shape are as close to natural teeth as possible. Our mission is to create the finest full and partial dentures available—whether they’re implant-retained or not. We personally sculpture each denture for our patients, using the highest standards of technology.” Geneva 2000 offers both implant-supported and non-implant supported dentures. Implant-supported dentures are a growing trend due to the numerous advantages they offer. Implant supported dentures are widely regarded by the profession as the standard of care in Arizona. Denture implants provide patients with improved confidence since they no longer fear the embarrassment that a denture might slip out of place when they eat, talk or laugh. “Implant-supported dentures are more comfortable for patients,” says Linda. “Without the sliding associated with traditional dentures, there’s less irritation of gum tissue, which can cause pain or canker sores. There’s also no need for messy adhesives. Even speech is improved because the wearer can relax and speak more clearly.

Denture implants can also help patients eat better. The natural feel of implanted dentures allows for a more normal diet that still includes crunchy or hard foods. Since the upper dentures don’t cover the mouth’s palate, food can even taste better. Geneva 2000 offers a free consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for upper and lower implants. “We have an on-site dental lab located right in our office, so unlike many other facilities, we don’t send our work to an outside lab. That’s a great benefit to patients, ensuring better accuracy and efficiency.” Dr. Brent Bentley is the on-staff dentist at Geneva 2000 with many years experience in restorative dentistry. Dr. Bentley offers prospective patients free consultations, exams, x-rays, and second opinions with no obligation! His goal is to solve problems in an understanding, respectful and empathetic manner. An initial appointment is an ideal way to meet the team, learn about treatment options and ask questions. If you’re ready to upgrade your smile or are struggling with your existing dentures, call Geneva 2000 Dental & Denture Centre at (623) 977-9800 to attend a free implant seminar and learn more.

20 SAFE DRIVING TIPS
AUTO TALK By Derrick Grant
The ability to drive is an important element an maintaining one’s independence.
As we age, it may get more challenging to drive. These safe driving tips may help those who don’t want to lose their freedom behind the wheel. 1. Avoid driving at night if you have trouble with your vision, and don’t tint your windows. 2. Avoid driving during periods of high traffic (typically during morning, lunch and evening commute times). 3. K eep your windshield, headlights and mirror clean to improve visibility. 4. Raise your seat high enough so you have a clear view of the road. Sit on a small pillow if necessary. 5. L imit distracting noise inside the vehicle. This includes the radio, conversations with passengers and use of cell phones. 6. Watch for flashing lights of emergency vehicles if you have difficulty hearing.
7. Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead so you have ample time to brake if necessary. 8. A llow adequate stopping distances. 9. K eep windshield wiper blades in proper working condition. 10. If possible, drive a car with an automatic transmission. 11. Get periodic vision and hearing tests. Get hearing aids and new glasses when needed. 12. T ake a defensive driving course. Some insurance policies may offer price discounts when individuals take these courses. 13. Carefully read medication labels to see if they may impair driving skills. 14. Don’t drive if you’re tired, lightheaded or stressed. 15. Avoid driving during inclement weather. 16. Use other transportation services (taxis, buses) if you’re unsure of your ability to drive safely. 17. Drive on familiar streets, and limit trips to those close to home. 18. A lways wear your seat belt. 19. Keep your headlights on at all times. 20. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about continuing to drive.

LAUNDRY STRATEGIES
MR. CLEAN
Take the stress out of laundry with these timesaving tips!
Laundry doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. With these effective and efficient tricks, you can rest easy knowing your laundry will turn out like you want. Separate Clothes Spending time separating clothes will make a huge difference in how long your clothes last. Sorting clothes by color and texture, using the correct amount of detergent and reading laundry care labels can help keep your favorite articles of clothing looking fresh. Prevent Fading Always wash clothes inside out to preserve colors— this is especially important for dark clothes, like jeans. To keep your bright colored fabrics from fading, try tossing one cup of salt into the washing machine with your load. For whites, add one cup of white vinegar to a load during the rinse cycle. Keep Your Clothes Looking Their Best Help your outfits live up to their stylish expectations by keeping them freshly ironed. Before you begin pressing, set the iron to the correct temperature. You can find this information on the tag. Whether you’re wearing shirts, slacks, skirts or dresses, make them look extra sharp by using Faultless Premium Spray Starch. Troubleshoot Tough Stains The key to successful stain removal is to fight back before it sets in. From vinegar and table salt to club soda and lemon juice, many stains can be eliminated using basic household products. Do-It-Yourself Dryer Balls When drying towels or bedding, ditch the standard dryer sheets in favor of tennis balls. Using one or two tennis balls as dryer balls helps evenly circulate air in the dryer to keep fabrics soft and reducing the dry time. Plus, tennis balls are long lasting—eliminating waste and expense.

PAIN Doesn’t Have to Be a Four-Letter Word NovaSpine Pain Institute Is Committed to Helping You Manage Pain Dr. Clifford Baker Living with chronic pain is a reality many people have just learned to accept—especially if they’ve spent years trying to find a physician who listens and desires to solve the root problem, rather than just mask the pain with pills, patches or creams. Let’s face it, living in Arizona there are plenty of pain clinics where the practitioners are more than willing to make big promises to relieve pain but don’t have the knowledge, tools or resources to provide a different outcome. The physicians at NovaSpine Pain Institute are different—really different. Dr. Clifford Baker and Dr. David Tom established NovaSpine Pain Institute to provide a center of excellence for spine, arthritis care and chronic pain management. Every doctor in the practice focuses on compassionate, comprehensive care that’s specific to each patient’s unique condition. If you’ve lived with chronic pain for any amount of time, you know that finding a personalized care plan that fits your needs and lifestyle can be exhausting and frustrating. Dr. Baker says, “We truly want to help our patients live their lives to the fullest, and be able to achieve a better quality of life that allows them to be active, despite the conditions that may have kept them on the sidelines for years.” According to one patient, “Dr. Baker is amazing because he really listens and takes the time to understand his patients. I highly recommend him.” Every physician at the NovaSpine Pain Institute has been fellowship-trained in all aspects of spine,

arthritis and pain management, giving them the distinction of being ACGME Board-Certified Pain Management physicians. This honor is important for patients to understand. While many physicians practice pain management, most of them are not board certified and have not gone through the rigorous standards that are required by ACGME Board. Dr. Baker says, “We are committed to caring for our patients, and continually look for ways to meet their evolving pain management needs. Right now, we are going to nursing homes and working with home health providers to provide care to those who can’t come to one of our offices. While this is time-consuming, we are passionate about providing dynamic care to our patients wherever they’re located.” NovaSpine Pain Institute utilizes state of the art facilities to provide cutting edge techniques in pain management. They treat a wide variety of problems including sciatica, neck pain, hip, knee and shoulder pain due to arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, compression fractures and fibromyalgia. If you’re tired of pain, give NovaSpine a call today to schedule an appointment within one week and see how they can help you get back to living the life you want to live.

A BETTER YOU
TAKE BACK YOUR DAY These 3 steps can help you make your day more efficient.
Now that you’ve retired, do you find yourself busier than you ever were before retirement? For many, it seems like time is passing by faster than ever before, and that each new day seems busier than the previous.
Set Priorities You don’t have time to do it all and maybe you don’t have to. Sit down and make a list of every social or professional obligation in your life. Once you’ve made the list, look at it and evaluate how important the items are to you or your family. If you find an obligation that’s not essential, take it off your “to-do” list and save your time for the more important things. Limit Multitasking Many people look to multitasking as an efficiency solution, but doing several things at once means it will take longer to accomplish each one. Instead of trying to do several things at once, focus on the most important thing, accomplish it and move on with the encouragement of success.
Want to Take Back Your Day? It’s possible by focusing on making yourself more efficient. Here are three tips to help improve your daily efficiency, accomplish your goals, and even find some extra free time. Make a Plan Organize the upcoming day the night before. Make a list of everything you have to do and check these items against one another. Can two trips be combined? Are you prioritizing the most important things first? The better you can plan out your schedule, the more efficient your day will be.
It can be hard to explore every opportunity on your bucket list, but if you focus on accomplishing one goal at a time, you may find you are much more efficient and effective—leaving time to explore new opportunities and interests.

Dec. 5, 1945— Five U.S. Navy torpedobombers take off from Florida on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. The squadron leader later reported that his compass had failed and his position was unknown, and a rescue aircraft was dispatched with a 13-man crew. No trace of the 27 crewmen or six aircraft was ever found. Dec. 4, 1956— The “Million Dollar Quartet” convenes at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, in an historic impromptu jam session. Present were Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. A tape recorded that day is not discovered until 1981. FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ About Us
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

If you’re looking for some cute (and easy) gift ideas, buy several mason jars and let the fun begin.
DIY HOT CHOCOLATE: You’ll need one large mason jar, premium hot cocoa mix, chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed candy canes. Add the hot chocolate mix first, and then layer the remaining ingredients, filling the jar. Create a festive tag with simple instructions to heat and enjoy the hot chocolate mix. Attaching the tag and a red or green bow will add a festive look.

HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson
TIP 1 To clean a can opener, get it wet and run a folded paper towel through it while turning the handle. It works best if done after each use. TIP 2 Keep your jeans or other denim items from fading by soaking them in a solution of cold water and salt (two tablespoons to a gallon) for about an hour before washing. TIP 3 Here are three unique ways to use an empty tissue box: store plastic grocery bags inside, line box with a small plastic trash bag and use in your car as a travel trash can, or cut out the bottom and use it to disguise an extra toilet tissue roll in your guest bath! TIP 4 How can you keep snow and ice off your windshield? Some say a solution of three parts vinegar to one part water sprayed on the windshield each night can cut your ice-scraping time in half or better. (Use caution to avoid your paint job.)
