HOROSCOPE
WHAT IS THE FORECAST FOR TODAY?
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to resolve a problem with a longtime friend can be difficult. Consider bringing in an impartial third party to help reach an acceptable solution.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Doing the right thing at the right time helps you deal with a particularly troublesome situation. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A change doesn’t turn out quite as you’d hoped. Nevermind! Just treat yourself to a healthy dollop of that Aries self-confidence. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The support you might have hoped for in a difficult situation might not be there. But you have the strength to rely on your own capabilities if you must.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to assess your current career situation.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A disagreement with a friend can be painful, but it also can be a learning lesson. Insist on a full and complete airing of views.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With education being a dominant part of life, one of the things you might want to think about is taking courses to enhance your skills.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A stalled relationship can be restarted with some give and take on both sides. While it could take more time than you expect, don’t rush it.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might have a problem trying to stay focused on a matter you’d rather not deal with.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity to move a long-stalled project might be opening up for the Big Cat. Be prepared to spend more time dealing with family matters.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unforeseen complication creates a difficult problem. Things get resolved once you turn negative situations into positive experiences.
VIRGO (August 23 of September 22) Use your Virgo organizational skills to line up support to help you deal with a sticky problem.

Q: I was recently given a Wells Fargo belt buckle that is identified as being made by Tiffany and Company. What can you tell me about it? — Keith, Crescent Valley, B.C., Canada. A: According to the Antique Trader Guide to Fakes and Reproductions by Mark Chervenka, your belt buckle is a knock-off and was probably made during the 1960s. In addition to Wells Fargo buckles, others also were issued, including ones featuring highly collectible names such as Winchester, Coca-Cola and Abraham Lincoln. Q: I began collecting Hallmark ornaments several years ago, and I am always looking for them in shops and at garage sales. Can you recommend a good, reliable price guide that I can stick in my purse? —Union, Lynchburg, VA. A: There are several excellent guides, my pick would be “Warman’s Companion Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments” by Mary Sieber. Even though it is in a smaller format, it has detailed listings with more than 550 illustrations in full color, as well as pricing which reflects the current market. www.thegrandseason.com

Oct. 16, 1793, Nine months after the execution of her husband, King Louis XVI of France, MarieAntoinette followed him to the guillotine. At a time of economic turmoil in France, she lived extravagantly and
allegedly responded to news that the French peasantry had no bread to eat by callously replying, “Let them eat cake.”
Oct. 17, 1931 Gangster Al Capone is setenced to 11 years in prison, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and ‘30s. FBI agent Eliot Ness and his men routinely broke up Capone’s bootlegging businesses, but it was tax-evasion charges that finally stuck.

WAYS TO WELCOME A SHELTER DOG INTO YOUR FAMILY
Are you looking for a new best friend for your family, but don’t want to start from scratch with a new puppy? Adopting a furry friend from a local animal shelter might be the perfect choice for you. Shelters are full of lovable dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages deserving of a good home and a family of their own. The ASPCA says nearly two million dogs are adopted into new homes each year. Choosing the right dog is just the beginning of the adoption process. The first several weeks after a pet is adopted are critical. During this time, it’s important to build a relationship and lay the groundwork for a lifelong connection. STEPS FOR SUCCESS It’s also important to create a pet-friendly environment. Keep items that may be harmful—such as chemicals and certain poisonous plants—out of reach from your new pet. Additionally, it might be wise to tuck away electrical cords and other objects that might be tempting for your new friend to chew. Also, if

certain areas of your home are off limits, by all means pick up a couple of baby gates to create boundaries for your furry friend. It goes without saying you should expect accidents— especially while house training any new dog. Even if a dog has previously been potty trained, the stress of transitioning into a new home can lead to accidents, so keep this in mind and be sure to provide your new pet plenty of opportunities to do their “business” outside. Finally, animals thrive when they know what to expect. Create a schedule early on for walks, feeding time and training so both of you can settle into a routine that feels a bit more familiar. Remember to approach training your adopted friend with patience. Without knowing how your pet was previously treated or trained, it can be difficult to predict how he will respond in his new environment. While introducing a new furry friend to the family may require a lot of attention at first, after a while, you will find it hard to remember life without your new four-legged friend.

If your family traveled to new places this past summer, or if you plan to take weekend trips this fall, items from those trips can be displayed in attractive ways. If you have collected sand from different beaches, for example, layer it in a clean, clear recycled jar. It’s fun to see the range of colors and types of sand from beach to beach. And it’s a unique way to recall a trip to Clearwater Beach, Florida, in 2013, or Santa Monica, California, in 2015.

For indoor fun with your grandkids, use some sticks and stones for crafting. Here are two ideas: •Flat rocks aren’t just for skipping across the surface of a lake. Make a turtle! Choose a flat oval stone for the body and glue small ones underneath, stretching out to the sides for four feet and a tail, with a larger one for a head. Add two pebbles for eyes. •Make a twig vase with a recycled tin can. Use shears to cut similar-width branches an inch or so longer than the height of the can. Place two large rubber bands around the outside of the can, one near the top and one near the bottom. Insert branches side by side, as if building a twig fence around the can. Wind twine or raffia over the rubber bands to cover them and tie the project off with a knot.

Jesse Ramirez, a native Arizonan, is passionate about feeding people in FOOD BANK need. Not long after he started the View Community Food Bank, NEEDS YOU Valley 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 donating food (no dented cans) or money.

AUTO TALK
DO YOU TAKE YOUR CAR’S “HEALTH” FOR GRANTED?
Do you know what to do when the check engine light comes on? While you know the importance of your car running well, do you ever worry about your car breaking down? Or have that sinking feeling you should have changed your oil sooner? If so, you’re not alone. For many consumers routine car maintenance can cause anxiety and stress. While knowledge is power, finding a mechanic you can trust or knowing the costs of your repairs are reasonable, sometimes provide the right excuse for ignoring the routine maintenance that will make your car reliable. Here are a few expert tips, resources and busted myths to prepare you with the information you need to make informed, confident decisions about car service: You probably don’t need to change your oil every 3,000 miles. Due to technology advancements, many auto manufacturers recommend changing oil at intervals of 7,500 miles or more for new cars. Does a dirty air filter really hurt performance? A clogged air filter won’t significantly affect fuel economy, but it can reduce acceleration from 6 to 11 percent, according to a U.S. Department of Energy Study. It’s a good idea to periodically visually check the engine air filter. Cars.com has launched a new “Service & Repair” feature that provides a fair price estimate for different
types of service, ensure drivers never overpay for needed services. The online tool also helps drivers find local service providers and offers reviews from actual customers to help them find a quality mechanic. Don’t expect the tires that come with your new vehicle to last a long time. The reality of a tire’s life depends on many factors, including: the quality of the tire, whether it is an all-season, summer performance or winter tire, the type of vehicle and where and how it is driven. Make sure the tires on your car are right for the region and conditions you drive in. If the check engine light comes on and stays on it may possibly indicate a serious issue, a mechanic should look at the problem quickly. If the check engine light is flashing, find a place to park the vehicle and turn the engine off as quickly as you safely can. Ignoring your check engine light increases the likelihood of additional problems—and perhaps more expensive repairs. Taking care of routine auto care will not only save you money, but it will ultimately save you time and ensure your safety while driving your car.

KEEPING FIT GOLF YOUR WAY TO BETTER HEALTH
Golf is a great way to have some fun and get fit at the same time, especially if you skip the golf cart and walk a few holes instead. It’s no secret, walking is one of the best ways to exercise for people of all ages. It’s easy on the joints, burns calories, and builds mus-
cle and bone density. If you’re new to walking for fitness, start gradually and work your way up to 60 minutes of walking, three or four times a week, by adding a few minutes to your walks each time you head out. Training exercises not only improve your golf game, but they also help prevent injury. Golf injuries most often impact the ankles, hips and shoulders. You can do a number of exercises to help improve your strength and flexibility in these areas. Visit your local gym, and ask a trainer to develop a plan to keep you fit. Daily exercise can be your secret weapon to drop strokes off your golf game, and add more rounds to your life.

VETERANS POST By Freddy Groves
Allison Hickey, undersecretary for benefits at the Department of Veterans Affairs, says the number of backlogged (older than 125 days) disability claims has reduced to 98,535—the first time since 2013 that it’s been below 100,000. The number of total claims stands at 362,799 disability and pension claims, with an average of 105 days pending. Back in August, processing took an average of 149 days, and when you take all of 2015 claims as a group, the average processing time was at 172 days. The VA’s Office of the Inspector General is still looking into allegations documents were shred, unopened or returned to vets to intentionally delay service. These actions would mean the information was never added to a patient’s file, which could affect claims because they would be incomplete. In at least one office, there hadn’t been a records management officer for seven months to oversee any shredding. If you are having processing delays on your claims, be persistent and by all means don’t give up. In the case of working with the VA the squeaky wheel does get the grease. www.thegrandseason.com

National Movement Unites Stroke Survivors Never before has there been a way for the nearly 6.5 million stroke survivors in the United States to rally together as they travel the path toward recovery. Unlike other survivor communities, there is no, symbol that survivors and the general public can identify with when it comes to stroke recovery. The National Stroke Association is changing that by supporting the Come Back Strong campaign, the first national movement to rally for stroke recovery. “This is a history-making moment for the stroke community,” said Matt Lopez, CEO of National Stroke Association. “Survivors and their caregivers have been asking for a unified message to support them as they recover from a stroke. The movement, created to raise awareness about the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States, is centered on a blue return symbol. Intentionally left open, it represents the drive for stroke survivors to come back strong and return to their former self, or a new normal. There are several resources to help you support the cause. Visit www.Stroke.org to make a donation or participate in upcoming community events. For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

KITCHEN DIVA Judy Wicks has been a leader in the “slow food” movement on the East Coast for more than 30 years. When she opened The White Dog in Philadelphia in 1983, it was a tiny muffin shop on the first floor of her historic Victorian brownstone. As her business grew, Wicks turned the muffin shop into a restaurant. She hired a chef who specialized in showcasing fresh, local meats and produce. The menu is a tribute to a visionary woman’s desire to support the community she loves.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SOLVE PESKY PROBLEMS
MR. CLEAN By Andrea Davis
Cleaning your house is a chore that takes you hours to complete. If you have the budget you can hire a cleaning service. Or, here are some great tips on how you can clean your house as fast as they do: Quickly dust. Cloths remove dust okay, but you can save a lot of time with a feather duster. These dusters are really efficient—especially for cleaning blinds, pictures and hard to reach areas. They’re also great for routine dusting or to quickly clean a room before company comes. Get shiny stainless steel. While stainless steel is beautiful, efficient and stain-resistant, it’s also quick to show smudges and fingerprints. One way to clean it is by pouring mineral oil on a cloth and wiping it across your countertops, sinks and other surfaces. Mineral oil repels water and increases resistance -- preventing sticky materials from attaching to the steel and cutting down on your future cleaning time.
Remove smells from the disposal. To quickly clean a smelly disposal, drop lemon or orange peels down the drain. Run the disposal for fifteen seconds with the water going at half-pressure, then drop some ice cubes in the disposal and turn it on again. Turn off the disposal, put the stopper over it and fill up your sink until it’s about half-full. Pull out the stopper and let the water flush out the disposal for a fresh scent. Streak-proof your windows. A paper towel and window cleaner doesn’t always cut it. If your windows are small, use newspaper to clean the glass and avoid streaks. If your windows are particularly large, the best approach is to use a squeegee. This cuts down on time and helps you reach the edges where dust can build up. Vacuum in half the time. To cover the most amount of carpeting in the least amount of time, utilize the central outlet in your home. By plugging your vacuum cleaner into the central outlet, you save time on re-plugging it -- time you can spend continuing to vacuum. If your vacuum has a particularly short cord, add an extension cord and hold it as you vacuum to avoid sucking it up. These are a few trick cleaning pros use to get through your house in a flash. By adding them to your own cleaning routine, you’ll spend less time working on your home and more time just enjoying it.

ARIZONA ALBUM
By Nancy L. Brandt
BUFFALO SOLDIERS ARRIVE IN ARIZONA
When the Civil War ended five U.S. Army regiments were sent west to protect settlers and help open up the territory. Among them were the 9th and 10th Cavalry, two black units, heralding the beginning of the era of the “Buffalo Soldiers” in Arizona. The first units arrived at Fort Huachuca in Southern Arizona in 1892. It wasn’t until the arrival of the 10th
Cavalry in December of 1913 that the era of the black soldier really began at Fort Huachuca. The men of the 10th were dubbed “Buffalo Soldiers” by the plains Indians because their curly black hair reminded them of buffalo. The nickname stuck. Maj. Gen. John B. Brook, USAF Retired, in an interview in Huachuca Illustrated, described the scramble by junior officers of the 10th to find an atlas when word came that they were moving to Fort Huachuca. No one knew where it was let alone how to pronounce the name. Things haven’t changed much. In the 1950s a telephone information operator in Tucson was asked if she knew the name of the Fort in southern Arizona that sounded like a sneeze.

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

OCTOBER 2015
COUCH THEATRE
Now available on DVD and Blu-ray. Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (PG-13) Genius inventor and Iron Man, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), creates a powerful artificial intelligence that’s supposed to keep the peace. The program, Ultron (voiced by James Spader), concludes that peace on earth starts with killing The Avengers. The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Iron Man and Hawkeye demonstrate the value of teamwork through a series of intense battles with evil forces and each other. Spy (PG-13) Melissa McCarthy stars as a CIA agent is launched from her usual office-work into the field of high-stake espionage. Susan (McCarthy) normally watches over her CIA colleagues, feeding information from a secluded office. When all the more Bond-like agents fall, the Company’s best bet is to send in Susan, the last person the bad guys would suspect of being a spy. Jason Statham does an excellent parody of his usual character, and Rose Byrne nails it as a haughty Euro-villain who trades eloquent insults with the more grounded McCarthy. www.thegrandseason.com
