Following retirement, Martinez worked with veterans and their families, and started a local chapter of the national organization PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere). The program introduces veterans with disabilities to golf. Pima County Board of Supervisors Chair Sharon Bronson acknowledged the danger of a constable’s job. “Arizona constables perform difficult, often dangerous work,” Bronson said in a statement. “Our county constables perform a difficult and important job for the people of this county. They often encounter people at their most vulnerable and emotional, yet they all perform their duties with professionalism and compassion. I am heartbroken at this terrible tragedy, and I will keep Constable Martinez and all who knew and loved her in my thoughts.” Bishop Edward Weisenberger asked for members of the Diocese of Tucson to remember in prayer all those involved in the shooting.“Iaskthe faithful of our diocese to lift up in prayer Constable Martinez along with her family, friends, co-workers and all those who loved her,” he said. “I ask for prayer also for the other victims who died at the scene. Their families and loved ones now enter into a time of profound grief. May they all know the fullness of life.” Martinez had only been on the job since March.Thegunman has been identified as Gavin Lee Stansell. The other victims have been identified as Lind Commons Apartment manager Angela Fox-Heath and resident Elijah Miranda. Sources say police believe Stansell died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

4 Desert Times, September 2022 “It started with that desire to build something for our Gold Star families,” Brownlie said. “They shouldn’t be forgotten. They paid the ultimate sacrifice. People on the streets don’t know about them. We want it to be beautiful location for the Gold Star families to sit and remember their son or daughter.”
“Being able to do it from home is perfect because no one can go anywhere,” Stout said. “I can sell from my own home.” It wasn’t such a big leap to opening her brick-and-mortar store. The problem, though, is cost. It is just so much more expensive because of the overhead. Stout raised the capital by vending at local and Phoenix quilt shows. She not only raised the funds, she learned that although there are already three quilt shops here, there’s also a place for her brand of quilt making.
BUSINESS

“I spent my paycheck at the other quilt shops in town so I had a good sense of what they offer, and I knew there would be some overlap, but I was trying to provide some thing that was different,” Stout said, “and I think I have curated that. I describe it as modern.”Hereis how one customer, Beth Sellers, See QUILTS P6
“The response was just overwhelming,” she said. “It was very clear that there was a need for another quilt shop in town.”

It’s really the type of fabric that distinguishes by & by from the other shops. The fabrics are, well, quirky. Take, for example, the small bananas or typewriter prints. Sure, there are solids: not the easily available Kona but a brand called Art Gallery. They are housed against one wall in three wide, tall shelves and come in a crayon box full of colors. When considering Stout’s selection, think bright, saturated colors and fun prints.
By & by quilt shop isn’t the stereotyp ical store. It has a lot of the familiar stuff: bolts of cotton fabric lining the walls; fat quarters, quilt kits and patterns; and a green self-healing mat and rotary cutter. One look at the fabric and patterns, how ever, and you know by & by is a shop for a new generation of quilters. “You can call me hipster,” owner Bailey Stout said, when someone suggested the appellation. “No one ever has before but I approve.”There’s the Quilt Basket on Tanque Verde, the Quilter’s Market on Speedway and Cac tus Quilt on Oracle. Now, located in a cute little building — only 900 square feet, so don’t expect loads of selection — at 2569 E. Fort Lowell, by & by is the latest addition to Tucson’s vibrant quilting community. Stout opened the shop in April of this year but has been in the quilt shop business since 2020, going live online during the pandem ic lockdown. It’s something she had been thinking about for some time, but going into business for yourself is not the way to a fat bank account, she said. Still, she was not stepping into unfamiliar territory. “I grew up in retail,” said Stout, who also offers items online. “My dad had a depart ment store and we lived above the store, and it was kind of my life.” Although she had always wanted to own her own store, Stout studied education in college, making international higher edu cation her career. Then the pandemic hit, which “changed the landscape of my field,” she said. “No one was traveling here or any where else. The field was bleak.” She made her own escape route, she said.
New quilt shop brings a modern twist
The shop really only carries fabric and patterns; do not look for notions here. Thread could make an appearance next year, Stout said, provided she can find a brand not already available in Tucson and provided the shop grows enough to support it.

he San Xavier Mission School sus pended its academic operations in definitely Aug. 12, two weeks after the first day of school. Opened in 1864, San Xavier is the first Catholic school in Arizona and ministry of the San Xavier del Bac Mission. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson ceased operations after the discovery of the lack of a kindergarten teacher, forcing five kindergarten students who were enrolled, to move to other schools. The principal had also resigned the week before the start of the school year. This resulted in a drop of enrollment numbers that the school budget could not support, according to a letter that was sent to families written by the parish’s pastor, Fri ar Ponchie Vasquez OFM. The school had experienced about a 50% decrease in enrollment over the past five to six years, said Sheri Dahl, superintendent of Catholic schools. “The students deserved the type of quality education that the school unfortunately can’t provide right now.” The school had restructured to a K-6 school just last spring. After school let out Aug. 12, Diocesan staff handed the letter from Father Vasquez to families explaining the situation.

There are also a few flannels and lots of fabric packs — mostly fat quarters and half yards of fabric lines Stout would like to carry but cannot yet afford. There are also classes. September’s calen dar features a two-session ice-dyeing work shop. Don’t know what that is? No one else does either, but it creates a kind of multicol ored, swirl-y pattern on fabric.

Santa Cruz Catholic School, which is about 10 to 15 minutes away from San Xavi er, was prepared to admit all 45 students, Dahl said. “Currently, a majority of the fam ilies are transferring to Santa Cruz,” Dahl said.Staff from St. John the Evangelist Catho lic School, said they would also be accept ing students as well as St. Ambrose Catholic School, with the possibility of one.
The Diocese is fielding calls from parents and other schools to ensure a seamless tran sition.“We also let faculty and staff know if they wanted to continue working for the church, particularly a Catholic school, what open ings there are,” Dahl said. There are about 14 teacher and support staff openings at schools within the Diocese. “Tuition is not a barrier at all,” Dahl said. “They will be taken care of.” Students’ schol arships would transfer over to any other Catholic school with the support of Arizo na’s Catholic Tuition Support Organization.

By Valerie Vinyard After a decade in business, Polish Cottage has a fresh look, daily specials and a revamped drink menu. The cozy midtown restaurant closed for part of July for a facelift and additions to its drink menu, to install booths, a bar and new wood flooring. The restaurant reopened July 26 with a bit more capacity, from 48 to 52. The brighter color scheme and new lighting also have resulted in a more bright and open space. “We tried to refresh everything, to be more friendly,” says Polish Cottage’s owner, Robert Stawicki. “My wife had a vision.” Agnieszka Stawicka modestly describes what she did to reimagine the pace. “I’m a little artistic,” she says. “I did those paper cutouts.” After a decade, Stawicka says it was time to change things. “We decided to refresh, but we also kept some of the old decorations,” she says. “We decided to do the lighter colors on the walls.” Customers seem to be happy with the revamped space. “I think it’s more airy and lighter than before,” says Anna Clayton, a 42-year-old electrical engineer in Tucson. “I’ve visited Poland twice, and it feels like I’m in Poland again when I eat here.”
“That’s what makes us really unique and special,” Stawicka says. “We have a lot of new diners that are coming in. Our regulars areStawicki

It provides something unique and special.”While they replaced the wine list with 15 new offerings and added three beer taps with craft selections, she said they left the food menu unchanged.

Sandwiches include a Polish kielbasa sandwich ($12.95); a classic Reuben sandwich ($9.95); and a mushroom Swiss burger ($14.95).Wetried a starter of beef stew with French fries ($9.95), which was a smaller but still filling dish with tender beef and veggies.

She says the most popular cocktail is the black currant cosmo ($10) with the Polish liqueur Nalewka Babuni, vodka, lime juice and simple syrup.
To end a fantastic meal, Stawicka suggested ordering the Polish apple cake called szarlotka ($7.50), which has crumble on the top and bottom and apple slices, cinnamon and applesauce in the center. “It’s a very light dessert,” she said. “It’s not too sweet; it’s not overpowering.”
5 Get Physical. You already know that physical activity is good for you. Physically active people tend to enjoy a reduced risk of disease and functional limitations, along with a boost to their mental health and brain health. Find an activity you like and move for 30 min utes or more most days. Need extra motivation? Partnering with a friend can help you stay on track.
Many people see their health as something to work on, through goal setting, regular workouts, and diet. But research shows that “down time” can be very effective at supporting our health and well-being as well. “Many lei sure activities provide oppor tunities to socialize, learn, be active, and carry out your life’s purpose—each of which has been proven to support health and well-being,” explains Cate O’Brien, PhD, the VP and Di rector for Mather Institute. Mather Institute has com piled findings from a variety of sources to provide some guidelines on this. The In stitute is the research area of Mather, one of the two parent organizations to Splendido, a Life Plan Community for those age 55 and better in Oro Valley.Here are eight ways to spend your free time that can pro vide health benefits:
3 Embrace Your Spiritual Side. Spirituality and reli giosity are both linked to good health for a variety of reasons. Persons who are spiritual or religious often have a strong sense of purpose, which is asso ciated with a reduced risk of many diseases. Medita tion and prayer can help regulate emotions and in turn, contribute to positive physical functions such as healthy blood pressure.
AGING WELL 8 Ways
1 Make Music. Learning to play an instrument chal lenges your brain and may improve brain function— and playing an instrument is associated with better cognitive and brain health and psychological and physical well-being.
Use Your Leisure
2 Be Social. Positive, sup portive relationships play an important role in well-being. Social support can improve mood, re duce stress, and improve immune function. Spend time with family, friends, or neighbors. Take advan tage of opportunities to meet new people and cul tivate supportive relation ships. Consider joining a group, taking a class, or volunteering to double up on positive effects.
4 Volunteer for a Good Cause—it’s not only good for others; it’s good for your health. Volunteer ing can promote a strong sense of purpose, which is linked to improved coping with stress, positive health behaviors, and even a lon ger life. Find a cause that is meaningful to you and dedicate some time to it— it doesn’t have to be a lot for you to reap the health benefits.
8. Let Purpose and Passion Be Your Guide. Immerse yourself in activities you feel passionate about. First, a strong sense that your activities and goals are purposeful, important, and meaningful—whether it is raising your grand children, volunteering to improve the environment, or continuing your educa tion—can improve health and longevity. In addition, simply enjoying an activi ty keeps you feeling good, helps you stay engaged, and can provide opportu nities for growth and social Cconnection.hooseanyof these enticing options for spending your free time, and know that research has proven it is time well spent.Interested in learning more about Splendido?

7 Learn Something New. Learning, whether in formal, self-directed, or formal, can improve well-being. Learning a new, mentally challenging skill may help to keep your brain healthy. Consider studying a language, taking dance lessons, learning to quilt, taking up photogra phy, or learning to play an instrument.

6 Join a Group that partic ipates in an activity you enjoy. Group activities seem to provide social ben efits over and above those from participating in other social activities.

Tennis’ Rafael Nadal chasing another major Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal in action during a match of the Barcelona Open tennis tournament Conde de Godo on April 27, 2017, in Barcelona. (123RF)
&SPORTSRECREATION
By Tom Danehy Tucson Local Media y the time this appears in print and online, the U.S. Open might well be over for Rafael Nadal. The limits to which he has pushed his body and his mind in pursuit of tennis excellence are taking their revenge. At the age of 36, he is both a living icon and something of an old man. It’s like what Apollo Creed said to Rocky Balboa, “It’s a shame that we have to get old.” A great athlete like Nadal spends the majority of his life getting in top shape, working on his game, toughening himself up mentally (a big part of tennis), only to get to a point where things start going downhill.Heholds the record for the most major tournaments won (22), but he could have several more were it not for injuries popping up at the most inopportune times. He was cruising at Wimbledon when an abdominal injury caused him to forfeit in the semifinals.He’sina good spot if he can stay healthy. A couple of top challengers got upset in the first round and knucklehead Novak Djokovic was not allowed in the country because he still refuses to get vaccinated. All politics aside, the absolute worst thing the vaccines have proven to be for some people are ineffective. Nadal can win a few more before his 36-year-old body fails on him for the final time. It will be tough for him to stay ahead of Djokovic, who is one year younger than Nadal, but much less injured. Whatever happens, Nadal is guaranteed to go down as one of the all-time greats in the history of tennis. I played tennis in high school and college, but it was always No. 4 for me. It was miles behind football and basketball for me and, at the time, it was even behind baseball! (Oh, the folly of youth!) When I was a kid, I loved to watch Rod Laver play tennis. He was like a bully gnome. Listed as 5-foot-8, that was either vanity or a defective measuring device. He couldn’t have been more than 5-foot-7 (and probably shorter). Adding to his vertical deficiency, he walked somewhat stooped over; I guess his greatness was just weighing him down. Laver was (and, at 84, still is) a pale Australian who had a constant sunburn during the season. (I guess they didn’t have sunscreen back then.) He was a left hander who, like most people back then, hit a one-handed backhand. What he did mostly was demolish people. He once won the Wimbledon title match in 58 minutes! If you don’t know how crazy that is, watch the U.S. Open this week. They have a giant clock showing how long the match has been going on. It often says three or four hours. So, the year after he won the championship match in 58 minutes, he won it again, this time in 57 minutes.Laveris the only player ever to win the Grand Slam twice. He probably could have done it more times, but during the peak years of his career, there was an upheaval in tennis where some events were reserved for amateurs, while others were for professionals only. He missed out on around 20 opportunities to win majors during that period.When you mention Grand Slams, you just have to mention what Don Budge did in the late 1930s. He was the first person to win a Grand Slam and he also won six major titles — in a row. At the age of 22 (and 23), he won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1937, and then the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open in 1938. Those turned out to be the only major titles he would win because tennis basically shut down with the onset of World War II in Europe in the late 1930s and the rest of the world in the early ’40s. The early focus of this U.S. Open was on Serena Williams, who announced that this would be her last major. She won her opening round match easily, but then faced the No. 2 player in the world in the second round. All Williams did was knock off the highly favored Anett Kontaveit in a threesetHowthriller.cool would it be for Williams and Nadal to both go out as champions?

DANCE page 8
By Margaret regan Tucson Local Media The city’s only professional ballet company has made of lots of changes thisButyear.the future looks great. The new company director, Margaret Mullin, danced for years at the revered Pacific Northwest Ballet and rose to the coveted role of solo ist. She’s young and energetic, a Tucson na tive who studied at Ballet Tucson as a child. She’s already created her own works, and she knows star choreographers. For the November concert, just for exam ple, she has lined up Justin Peck, the cho reographer at The New York City Ballet, to mount one of his pieces. Mullin has brought in a pair of married dancers, Danielle Fu and Liang Fu, who have danced for years in Kansas City and at Cincinnati before that. Liang has hit stages around the world. The two of them will take the stage as principal dancers and serve as co-directors of the school. Chieko Imada, long a main stay of the company, now also holds the title of choreographer in residence, in addi tion to associate artistic director. With the company now 31 dancers strong, the troupe is raring to dance. They will have plenty of chances in the compa ny’s three concerts this fall. Here’s a brief list of the shows.
Justin Peck’s “In Creases” brought him to national attention in 2012. The 15-minute modernist piece, with eight performers, shows off “his mastery of geometry with dancers,” Mullin says. The music is by Phil ip Glass, and Peck was the choreographer for Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.”
This cherished holiday ballet will be even better: for the first time in years, the beauti ful music of Tchaikovsky will be performed live for Ballet Tucson as a part of a new part
7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at Fox Tucson The atre FALL CONCERT The fall concert’s four dances launch the company’s new direction.

In the final piece, “Felicity Found,” Mul lin has reimagined and expanded a digital piece created for film only that she choreo graphed for the Kansas City Ballet during the pandemic. The work is an affirmation of joy and beauty, and its 22 dancers are immersed in the splendid music of Vivaldi. 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11; 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, and Sunday, Nov. 13, Leo Rich Theater. ‘THE NUTCRACKER’

Tucson’s season reveals new faces
This fun annual show gives the troupe’s dancers the chance to try choreography on for size. The dancers create original works and teach their creations to the eager young apprentices.

Ada Redd Austin has come a long way since the days of singing songs from Dionne Warwick, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson into her hair brush.The Tucson jazz artist is looking forward to packing the house on Saturday, Sept. 10, at The Dunbar Pavilion when she’ll per form the R&B songs that made her famous in a concert titled “An Evening of Beautiful Music.”Theevent is a fundraiser, produced by Jennifer Davis-Paige, the founder of Boom Goddess Radio, Tucson’s top Black wom an-owned podcast company. The bene ficiary is KRDP Radio, a public station of Desert Soul Media. The two women have a lot in common. Both have blazed trails for women of color and pursued their dream with passion and perseverance. They met a year ago when Davis-Paige was doing a podcast on June teenth. Austin, in addition to being a musi cian, is a retired schoolteacher with plenty of knowledge about the holiday celebrating the day the last enslaved people in Texas got word of their liberation. “When I was looking for people to inter view to talk about it, her name came up,” Davis-Paige said. “I have a four-part inter view and that’s how she and I met. At that time, she told me she was a singer. I went to a couple afternoons that she was perform ing, and I loved her voice. Then COVID came and nobody could go anywhere or do anything.”Whenthe opportunity came up for this fundraiser both jumped at the chance to make it a concert featuring Austin.
“We got top-notch gigs,” Austin said. “Never enough, they were few and far be tween and they didn’t pay a lot. We did it because that’s what I loved to do. It’s a gift that God gave me.” She even sang twice for then-governor Bruce Babbitt. “He came up and shook my hand and said, ‘If I ever make president, you’re going to sing at my inaugural,’” Austin said. “That was a great compliment.” Then family needs called, and she moved to Houston to live with her son for sever al years.

One-Woman Show Ada Redd Austin croons her way into the city’s soul
By Bridgette m. redman Tucson Local Media
The Tucson Jazz Institute is sending over African American twin brothers who are in 11th grade. One plays the sax and the oth er the bass and they have agreed to donate their music for the VIP reception. The pres ident and vice president of KRDP Radio will talk about the studio’s history and goals.
KRDP launched after years of effort on the part of the found ers, Kaja Brown and Calvin J. Worthen, who are also the top executives for Desert Soul Media. They re cently secured their FCC license. “I would like (Tuc son residents) to know how important it is that there hasn’t been an African Ameri can-owned and -op erated radio station in Arizona for over 20 years,” Davis-Paige said. “These two young men have been working on getting a station for four years. This has been their goal and their dream.” The benefit evening will have two parts and patrons can buy tickets for either just the con cert or the concert and VIP event. The con cert will be $30 in advance and $35 at the door and the VIP event is $250. The VIP event starts at Urban Grove at 4 p.m. with wine and hors d’oeuvres.
MOCA continues with a potpourri of exhibitions that opened earlier in the year. They range from the big, colorful canvas es of Grace Rosario Perkins, a Diné and Akimel O’odham artist (until Oct. 16), to the playful video art of Kenneth Tam on about immigration and masculinity in the Amer ican West (Feb. 5). Intimate watercolors of the great outdoors by the Tucson Plein Air Group (Feb. 5) nicely fill another corner of the museum. moca-tucson.org ART from page 12

A luxury van will then take participants to the Dunbar where the concert will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. The concert will feature about 18 songs that are jazz and R&B classics and stan dards. Austin said she will likely sing songs from Billie Holiday, Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson and even some stylistic interpreta tions of Marvin Gaye. Austin has a long history in Tucson. She began singing as a child with Mount Cal vary Baptist Church choir. Then, when she was 11, she competed in a talent contest at the Dunbar — the site of this month’s event. She took first place. In the 1980s and 1990s, she sang jazz and R&B at jazz festivals, benefit concerts and community events. She’d pack the house at the former Obsessions night club. She even performed at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and was filmed for the series “Showtime at the Apollo.” She and the band she sang with per formed for the NAACP and the Urban League.

16 FALL ARTS PREVIEW Desert Times, September 2022 a Valentine’s Day gig at the Tucson Museum of Art. However, for the next couple years she struggled to find the number of gigs she wanted, despite her se ries of sold-out shows. It was then she decided to take a different track with her career. “I decided maybe I can produce my own show,” Austin said. “I had never thought of doing that at this late state in my life. I prayed about it, and everything just started falling in place.” She approached Doug Martin, her longtime band leader and pianist, and he was on board. His wife, Cheryl Martin, helped to publi cize her first self-organized event that took her back to the Dunbar.
“The night of the show — it was standing room only,” Austin said. “It was packed. I was so grateful for the community. I’m a people person, I’m a retired schoolteach er. I taught kids in sixth grade and love to interact with the audience. I have them singing. I talk to them and serenade them. I love on them.” It was the start of her launching her own series of concerts, often as fundraisers or celebrating events like Juneteenth. Like Austin, Davis-Paige grew up listen ing to the great female jazz stars such as Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. “Ava reminded me of those women’s voices,” Davis-Paige said. “She’s got won derful followers in Tucson. This will be her first concert since COVID.”
Jennifer Davis-Paige is the founder of Boom Goddess Radio, Tucson’s top Black woman-owned podcast company. (Noelle Haro-Gomez/Contributor) p.m.
The Dunbar has been remodeled since Austin last performed there in 2017, but she said it will build a smaller stage for her designed in a crescent so that she can be closer to the audience. “I don’t like to be way up,” Austin said. “I don’t want to be looking down at the audi ence. I want to be looking at them the way they’re looking at me. I like that intimacy.”

Isaiah Ramirez learned a hard lesson about inflation at the beginning of this school year. The senior two-way foot ball player at Marana Mountain View High School actually lives in the old min ing town of San Manuel. It’s a 45-mile drive each way; not a bad drive, really. Up Veterans Memorial Boulevard, past the air port and the golf course, until you get to State Route 77 (which we in Tucson know as Oracle Road). Route 77 takes you past the town of Or acle and the Biosphere, into the town of Catalina and finally to Oro Valley. Isaiah sees this every single day and has for threeplus years. But this year is different. “Man, the price of gas hit really hard. I was spend ing like $100 a week just to get to school andWhyback.”would someone who lives in San Manuel go all the way to Mountain View for school? “I did it for football. I love football. I love everything about it, and no offense to San Manuel, where I grew up and a lot of my friends still are, but I wanted to chal lenge myself.”
Last year was supposed to be a good year, but the Lions lost a heartbreaking, sea son-opening 13-12 game to district rival Marana and stumbled home to a 4-6 record and missed the playoffs.

For the first couple years that Isaiah was at Mountain View, San Manuel was in Class 2A, the second-smallest level for schools in Arizona. But recently, the Miners were dropped down to Class 1A, the lowest lev el. Not only did it mean that they would be playing the smallest schools in Arizona in every sport, it also meant that the football team would go from playing 11-man foot ball to playing eight-man football. (Small schools often have enrollments of around 100 students or less, so playing eight-man is often the only way that a school can field a team.)“Imiss my friends and all, but I’m glad I’m not playing eight-man football. Like I said, I want to challenge myself, but I would also like to continue playing football after high school. It would be pretty hard for a player from an eight-man squad to get a scholar ship or even get looked at by colleges.” Isaiah plays running back and linebacker for coach Matt Johnson’s Mountain Lions. Johnson, who had remarkable success as a member of Vern Friedli’s staff 20 years ago before turning around a moribund pro gram at Rincon and then winning a state ti tle at Ironwood Ridge, has struggled a bit at Mountain View. His program got slammed by COVID-19 two years ago and his team was only allowed to play two games.
If you think oxygen therapy means slowing down, it’s time for a welcome breath of fresh air.

Isaiah Ramirez loves football and, especially, Moun tain View football. (Isaiah Ramirez/Submitted)
12 Desert Times, September 2022
Mountain View opened its season at home Sept. 2 against Marana. Both teams are hoping to reach the 5A state playoffs this year and that season opener might go a long way toward determining whether one or both teams have a shot at the postseason.
“This year is different,” Isaiah said. “Last year, we had good players, but the team didn’t come together all that well. This year, you can just feel the energy. You feel it in the weight room, on the practice field, and I think everybody is going to feel it when we start playing games.”
“It was a really serious decision I made when I was pretty young, but I’m glad I did it. I love football and I love Mountain View football.”

"My coworkers were telling me I would probably need surgery. Not only was I unable to sleep due to pain waking me up at night, I was no longer able to enjoy my favorite activity, tennis."
Gloria P. of Tucson AZ worked overtime as a nurse to help people get through the pandemic. The consistent overuse on the computer caused Gloria's right hand and arm to experience numbness and burning pain. Her doctor diagnosed her with peripheral neuropathy. The most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include numbness, tingling, and weakness in arms, hands, legs or feet, sudden sharp, stabbing, or shocking pain sensations, burning pain, loss of touch sensation, clumsiness and trouble using hands to pick up objects or fasten clothing, loss of balance and falling. Fortunately for Gloria, Acupuncturist Renée Stucklen has been reversing the effects of peripheral neuropathy for over 10 years - without invasive surgeries or medications that come with uncomfortable side effects. After a series of treatments, Gloria noticed that she was sleeping through the night and she was regaining sensation in her arm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination is strong, and as you visualize your own success, you’ll figure out which version seems to fit well. Still, your mind can get to a place in seconds that your reality may take years to catch up to. Don’t let it stop you. These hopes and dreams are the first steps to setting goals and making plans.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) It always takes more than one person to create a power struggle. One way to end the back-and-forth of a psycho logical tug-of-war game is simply to let go of the rope. The other person may go reeling backward, but if you don’t pick it up again, you’re free of the arduous game, which may be even better than winning.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There’s no shortage of difficult tasks to potentially take on, but just be cause it’s a challenge doesn’t make it worthwhile. Seek relevant endeavors. It’s not about looking for an easier way to do things; it’s about making sure a thing is worth doing in the first place. Does it bring you closer to the person you want to be?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The language of your heart speaks in feeling and attraction, in a sense of expansiveness, oneness and connec tion. Fear has a language, too. It speaks through judgment, restriction and the urge to hide or flee. You’re an expert interpreter and will find helpful ways of applying what’s communicated to you this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’re bursting with creativity this week, so it will be challenging to focus solely on what’s immediately relevant. But once you meet the needs of the current situ ation, the world will be your oyster and a felicitous pursuit of your wild imaginings will ensue. Fire sign compatibility figures prom inently in.
31
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ve seen plenty of projects through to fruition, so you should trust yourself when you feel like something is a little off with the plan. Certain processes begin to feel cumbersome and become not worth it. Heed your instinct. Better to cut a bad investment loose than to go deeper in, trying to prove something.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) As you re peatedly work or hang out with the same people, a culture forms around you. Maybe you don’t love everything about it, but there’s much in this group that seems about right for where you are now in your life. You just may look back and call these times “the good old days.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can’t help how you feel, but a funny thing happens once you accept and express those feelings -- they change. Full expressions will be particularly lucky this week. Instead of smiling, dance; instead of pouting, sing the blues. Your scene will be painted beautiful by freed feelings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) This week high lights the difference between love and position ing. Positioning is situational and conditional. Love moves freely. You’ll experience both. Note that both people can benefit from a relationship even if feelings aren’t mutual. Giving love is its own ben efit, which expands and strengthens the heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) You’re feeling cu rious, and you may dabble in this or that in hopes of getting a more realistic feel for how much the pursuit really holds for you. This week’s mood is good for shopping but bad for buying -- good for borrowing, renting and posing hypothetical ques tions but bad for making promises, commitments and deals.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have someone in your life who you trust enough to be silly around. You can disclose a bit of foolish nonsense to this person and feel accepted, loved even, for the perfectly flawed human you are. A relationship like this is a treasure, and you count yourself among the blessed. You love and are loved.
