LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS MARCH 25, 2020 OUR VALUED READERS, We are always ‘working ahead’ in our world. Our newspapers are written, designed, printed and sent to the Post Office up to two weeks prior to you receiving it in your mailbox. With particularly fast-moving news like what is going on today with COVID-19, we are now pushing relevant, timely news articles to our website www.MyHyperlocalNews.com and our Facebook page Facebook.com/north32ndnews. Don’t worry, we are still printing and mailing; however, with so much happening so quickly, we want to be sure to keep you as informed and up to date as possible.

You may notice that this issue is significantly lighter in pages. Much of the content that we had prepared to share with you has changed – and is continuing to change on a daily, and even hourly basis. We have removed our ‘Things to Do’ events calendar. Our popular ‘Getaway’ section has been pulled, as families are being asked to not leave their homes. New businesses that were scheduled to open have had to push back their openings to later or undetermined dates. Charitable fundraisers, food festivals, local theaters and more have all cancelled events – all of which were stories we had planned to share with you.

Additionally, some bars and restaurants, gyms, retail stores and more have all been forced to temporarily shut their doors. All this to say, that we have lost a large portion of our advertisers virtually overnight.

As a free publication (not subscription based), our ONLY source of income is advertising dollars. These dollars are used to pay our designers, writers, printing, postage and everything else that goes into bringing you local news each month.

As you may have heard, newspapers and magazines, both locally and across the country have been dramatically affected by COVID-19. Many have been forced to enact large pay cuts, lay off workers and worse yet, close their doors entirely. To call what’s happening in our industry a ‘crisis’ would be an understatement.

Eculeus Group Publishing is locally owned and operated - we are not national, corporate, franchised or 4 • April 2020 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

syndicated. We are one of the last hyper-local newspapers doing it all with a small but scrappy team of two incredible designers, a handful of Marketing Consultants and one writer. We have no intention of laying off our team and will do everything in our power to ensure that it never comes to that. As the Publishers, we feel a tremendous responsibility to continue to provide them a stable income, and a ‘home’ they can count on.

We are a family here at Eculeus Group; from our staff, to our advertisers, to you - our readers.

We pledge to continue to fight to bring you hope and positive news that affects you where you live. You can get your up to the minute world disaster news from anywhere; phone, tablet, tv, radio, computer… even some of your refrigerators. To survive, you need more than that. You need a little ray of sunshine that reminds you that we will get through this. That is what we are here for.

If you have enjoyed reading our papers, there are two tremendous ways that you can help our efforts and keep us going: 1. SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS The advertisers that sprinkle our pages each month are small business owners, in many cases your neighbors, who are working to continue to serve you in socially responsible ways. If you feel that you could use their services, please reach out and make sure to let them know that you found them in North 32nd News.

If you can afford to do so: • Order takeout from locally owned restaurants • Shop online from local stores offering delivery or curbside pickup • Purchase gift cards to use at a later date • Tip a little extra There are even ways to support without spending a penny: • Leave businesses a positive review online • Recommend them on NextDoor or other in community groups • Like and share their social media posts

2. SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS Bringing you a quality publication each month takes long hours, dedication and a passion for supporting both the business owners and residents that make up our community. It also takes money. Each month we publish six newspapers, just like this one, that we direct mail to wonderfully unique communities throughout the north valley. With each issue, we touch 120,000+ homes and countless lives – at absolutely no cost to you, the reader. We will always be a free publication to the community; however, we are humbly asking for your support. We know many of you are worried about your own finances and we absolutely get it. We, like you and like many of the businesses we write about, are not immune to the dramatic downturn caused by this pandemic.

However, if you believe in our mission and protecting independent media, please consider making a onetime or recurring contribution to our cause. You may do so at www.MyHyperlocalNews.com. Regardless, we truly appreciate you welcoming us into your home each month.

None of us were prepared for what came so quickly, and this is undoubtedly changing all of our lives in one way or another. This means that now, more than ever, we need to practice what we preach: COMMUNITY. We as neighbors need to pull together to support one another. It may be as simple as sharing the fruit from your backyard, checking on an elderly neighbor or donating to the charities that are on the front line of this.

You can bet that we will be here fighting to keep you informed now, and when all of this is over… because this city and everyone in it is worth it. Remember to be socially responsible and do your part to help stop the transmission of this virus. But most importantly, simply be kind to one another - we are all in this together. Take care of yourselves and your families.

With our sincerest gratitude, Brian and Natasha Beal Publishers north32ndnews.com

ARIZONA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES ARIZONA TAKEOUT WEEK ORGANIZATION OFFERS SUPPORT OF LOCAL RESTAURANTS AMID CORONAVIRUS MANDATED CLOSURES THE ARIZONA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION (ARA) IS RESPONDING TO THE RECENT STATE OF EMERGENCY BY CREATING AN ALL NEW MARKETING STRATEGY TO HELP SUPPORT LOCAL DINING ESTABLISHMENTS WITH THE DEBUT OF ARIZONA TAKEOUT WEEK. Harnessing the energy from the wellattended Spring and Fall AZ Restaurant Weeks, AZ Takeout Week will help restaurants and those diners who depend on them for daily sustenance, survive what is an unprecedented crisis in the industry. The ARA is pleased to announce Arizona Takeout Week, which is now in effect and will run through the entirety of Coronavirus closures.

The initiative serves to help diners and those who depend on dining

establishments as a food source find restaurants offering pick-up, curbside, and delivery options during this time and aid restaurants in marketing their service options during the closure.

“We appreciate and thank Governor Ducey for his efforts in working with the restaurant industry to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus,” says Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. “The Arizona restaurant family appreciates his work and that of all elected leaders in our state during this unparalleled time in our history.”

The culinary industry has a powerful impact on the state’s economy — and residents’ livelihoods. There are more than 10,000 dining establishments that employ more than 229,000 staff with annual restaurant sales of $13.4 billion.

“At the end of the day, we are the

industry of ‘happy’ — that is what the hospitality industry represents.

We hope to bring a bit of happiness to Arizonans during this extremely difficult time through Arizona Takeout Week while keeping our employees and restaurants afloat,” Chucri says. The event already has more than 100 participating restaurant locations.

This initiative is free for restaurants and all are invited to email their current menus and service hours to takeout@ azrestaurant.org. Diners are encouraged to go to the official Arizona Takeout Week website at www.aztakeoutweek. com to learn more and start dining on the go!

About the Arizona Restaurant Association: Dedicated to helping its members become leaders in their communities through building customer loyalty, escalating awareness of food

safety and healthy living, bolstering a thriving industry and rewarding workforce, and increasing financial success, the Arizona Restaurant Association is the brainchild behind events that support the state’s culinary scene including Arizona Restaurant Week and the Foodist Awards.

DONATIONS TO QUALIFYING NONPROFITS FOR ARIZONA

TAX CREDITS MUST STILL BE MADE BY APRIL 15 EXTENSION OF TAX FILING DEADLINE DOES NOT AFFECT CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARIZONA TAXPAYERS CONSIDERING DONATIONS TO QUALIFYING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR ARIZONA TAX CREDITS ON THEIR 2019 INCOME TAX RETURNS MUST STILL MAKE THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS BY APRIL 15 EVEN WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY DECISION TO EXTEND FILING DEADLINES TO JULY 15 FOR ARIZONA AND FEDERAL RETURNS. Qualifying charitable organizations include 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, foster care organizations public schools and certified school tuition organizations.

“Nonprofits in Arizona are facing severe financial challenges and if, by making direct donations, they can benefit at the same time that Arizona taxpayer’s benefit, it’s a win-win,” said Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits Chief Executive Officer Kristen Merrifield.

This week, the Alliance released results of a survey north32ndnews.com

of Arizona nonprofit organizations showing that nearly 90% of the 425 respondents have been or expect to be significantly impacted by the spread of COVID-19 or coronavirus with the total loss of reported revenue at $36 million as of March 24.

Merrifield said that additional steps have been taken to provide expanded support through the upcoming Arizona Gives Day 24-hour online fundraising campaign, a collaboration with Arizona Grantmakers Forum and presented by FirstBank, on April 7, including: • An Emergency Relief Fund giving donors the option to increase donations as an add-on at check out or through direct donation at www.azgives.org/ aznonprofits. All funds will be distributed equally among participating nonprofits.

• Re-opening registration to allow organizations that had to cancel fundraisers, programs and other events that originally chose not to participate to be able to benefit from the fundraiser. The new registration deadline is March 27: and • A group of donors has provided separate funding enabling the Alliance to waive payment-processing

fees normally paid by nonprofits participating in Arizona Gives Day, allowing more funds to go directly to the nonprofits.

SICK LEAVE IN THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS ARIZONA IS AMONG A HANDFUL OF STATES THAT HAS A PAID SICK LEAVE LAW. The Fair Wages and Healthy Family Act was passed in 2017. Until recently, it was the only protection that Arizonans had when it came to sick leave. However, in response to the novel Coronavirus, President Trump also recently signed a national paid sick leave law - the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. A large percentage of Americans have been temporarily or indefinitely put on a leave of absence and each of these laws offer workers financial help through this pandemic.

Under the Arizona Act, paid sick leave is required by all employers for full, part-time or temporary employees. Additionally, union workers who were under a bargaining agreement prior to the Act’s effective date may not be covered.

The Arizona Act requires employers with fewer than 15 employees to provide at least 24 hours of annual paid sick leave time and employers with 15 or more employees must provide at least 40 hours of annual paid sick leave time.

The Arizona Act allows for employers to be flexible and give the full allotment of paid sick leave even if employees are still in their 90-day grace period.

Employees can also use their sick leave if they feel they may have been exposed and need to take some time to get tested

for the novel Coronavirus. Likewise, if an employee has a family member who has fallen ill with COVID-19, they can also use sick leave and be covered under the Arizona Act. This also extends if the employee needs to take time off to get that family member tested.

In Arizona, parents can also use their sick leave if their children are forced to stay home due to schools closing—such is the case by the recent mandate issued

by Gov. Doug Ducey amid fears that children could increase the spread of COVID-19. It can also be used during times when a public official forces a business to close due to a health crisis.

Employees do not need to give any formal notice of leave according to the Arizona Act and can request it via phone, email or in person.

The paid-sick leave law does allow some wiggle room. For example, some employers might require employees to allocate some vacation days to their time off on sick leave. Employers also have the option to combine all the possible days for paid time off, including vacation and other personal leave. The Arizona Act does not cover independent contractors, freelancers, babysitters, writers on contracts and those who are self-employed.

Starting April 3, everyone can benefit from the new federal paid sick leave law.

Now, those who were not covered prior to COVID-19 will be able to take sick leave for two weeks maximum with their normal pay up to $511 per day. Additionally, if an employee must take time off to stay home with a child because of school cancellations, they are able to stay at home for 12 weeks while being compensated two-thirds of their normal salary up to $200 per day.

To fund this massive program, a tax credit is given to employers against the 6.2% payroll tax. If the percentage amount is greater, the government will reimburse the employer and selfemployed independent contractors can receive a tax credit as well.

With many people out of work currently due to COVID-19, the new bill also gives a 90 day extension

to pay 2019 taxes in addition to the normal deadline of April 15.

Employers and their employees are venturing into uncharted territory in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As restaurants, bars and retail shops close, there is a heightened worry for those who work for tips and minimum wage. Torn between keeping workers healthy and reducing loss of revenue, the business complications of the pandemic stretch far beyond just the corporate world.

ADOR SEEKING UNCLAIMED PROPERTY OWNERS FROM MARICOPA COUNTY THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE’S (ADOR) UNCLAIMED PROPERTY PROGRAM HAS IDENTIFIED MORE THAN $900 MILLION THAT BELONGED TO MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE WITH LAST KNOWN ADDRESSES IN MARICOPA COUNTY. The agency is sending out notices to the potential property owners and their families to attempt to return the funds. Some of the property dates back more than 30 years with one property being worth $500,000.

Unclaimed property generally consists of money due to an individual from sources like old bank 6 • April 2020 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

accounts, uncashed payroll checks, tax refunds, credit balances, rebates, returned deposits and dormant safe deposit boxes. Often property becomes unclaimed because the company that holds the funds has an outdated or the wrong forwarding address for its customer and in some cases, a person passes away with no family members aware of the assets.

ADOR returns property to owners who provide documentation showing their right to claim the assets. Claimants must include with their claim form a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or other applicable identification, and documentation linking them to the owner’s last known address. Claimants

must also provide documentation demonstrating a legal right to claim any property listed in another name.

There is currently $1.5 billion in unclaimed assets in the state being safeguarded by the Arizona Department of Revenue. ADOR’s Unclaimed Property program returned $48.4 million to rightful owners in fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019).

12TH ANNUAL “KEEP OUR PLANET NEAT, RECYCLE YOUR CAR SEAT” HAS YOUR CHILD OUTGROWN THEIR SEAT? Is it expired? Has it been in an accident? If so, don’t throw it out – RECYCLE IT! NARPRO (Network of Auto Repair Professionals) is partnering with Child Crisis Arizona, Safe Kids Maricopa County and numerous local organizations to collect old, expired, and damaged car seats which volunteers will take apart for proper recycling. Car seats don’t last forever, and over time their components will break down, especially in the hot Arizona sun.

Older car seats or those that have been involved in an accident may not have visible damage, but they should not be used. This annual event helps those with older, expired, or damaged car seats get rid of them in an environmentally friendly way, by keeping them out of vehicles and landfills.

Anyone can drop off car seats that need to be recycled at one of the participating Network of Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals shops from now until April 15, 2020. Find a participating NARPRO location at NARPRO.com/ find-a-shop.

On April 18, volunteers and NARPRO shop owners will be dismantling the old car seats. They will recycle the plastic, metal and fabric components separately. For example, elements of the fabric, padding, and straps can be used in animal shelters. Quilted fabric becomes bedding or chew toys for the animals. Long straps make free leashes. Clean polystyrene foam (rigid foam) from seats can be recycled into an Earth Friendly Block™ which are used in commercial and residential construction.

Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) helps car owners find

skilled and honest car repair shops.

NARPRO only recommends independent, family-owned, full-service auto repair shops that have passed 26 rigorous tests. NARPRO.com to find recommended shops near work or home. NARPRO is the easiest way to find an honest mechanic in the Valley.

Safe Kids Maricopa County is led by Child Crisis Arizona, which provides dedicated and caring staff, operation support and other resources to assist in achieving our common goal: keeping your kids safe.

Based on the needs of the community, this coalition implements evidencebased programs, such as car-seat checkups, safety workshops and sports clinics, that help parents and caregivers prevent childhood injuries. Childcrisisaz.org/safekids-maricopa/

Door OPEN. Door CLOSE. Guaranteed.

HOW WILL COVID-19 IMPACT

ARIZONA REAL ESTATE

By John Cabezas with LIV AZ Realty

T

he chances the world will return to everyday normality are very good. We’ve seen viruses spread across the country and the world. This is not our first rodeo.

We’ve seen everything from the Bird Flu in 2005 to the Zika Virus in 2016. We’ve experienced some kind of potential pandemic since 2000, and we always survive just fine. I am confident that we will be able to put coronavirus into the category of other “close calls.” Unfortunately, this one seems to be different, and has already altered our lifestyle.

The question for this article is, how will this impact Arizona real estate?

The housing market has been running strong for quite some time now and is still strong. The Federal Reserve recently dropped the rates to zero and are planning bailout money should the need arise. Of course, the Fed dropping the rates to zero doesn’t mean zero percent loans. What it means is that mortgage rates will hold at the current low rates and more than likely go down. This is great news for the industry.

With historically low rates, lack of inventory, and a strong employment market (this virus will affect employment in the short term only), there has never been a better time to sell or buy. It is still a seller’s market and inventory is still quite low.

Here is an interesting statistic which proves how our market has changed in the last two years: in all of Maricopa County there are only 24 homes for sale under $130,000. Two years ago, that would not have been the case.

Homes in the $180,000 to $300,000 range are still receiving multiple offers, even during this virus scare.

Mortgage lenders are, as they say, busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger. We just recently received a north32ndnews.com

full price offer on one of our listings, with a 15-day close. We accepted the offer, but when I called the lender to see of it can close in 15 days, his response was a chuckle. Lenders, between new loans and refinance loans, are swamped.

SPEAKING OF REFINANCING: The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has sent the U.S. Treasury rates into a sharp decline. This in turn has driven down the interest rates on real estate loans. Homeowners who are in the process of refinancing existing loans will reap the benefits of these lower rates. If rates continue to stay low, more borrowers will rush to refinance and lock in rates that are at historically low levels.

THE BOTTOM LINE: While the worldwide coronavirus outbreak does not seem like it will have a significant impact on the Arizona real estate market, it may ultimately have a positive impact.

That is of course, if we Arizonans don’t panic. The one factor that no one is in control of is panic.

This is why the shelves at your local supermarket are empty… people panic. Panicking is the worst thing one could ever do in a crisis or difficult situation. Ladies and gentlemen, this too shall pass.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH CUPPING? CAN IT HELP RELIEVE YOUR PAIN?

By Dr. Beau Horner

S

ince Michael Phelps was seen with purplish, red circles on his back during the 2012 summer Olympics, cupping therapy has gained global attention and raised a lot of questions: What is it? Does it hurt? What does it treat? I am not an elite athlete, but can it help me?

Cupping is the term applied to a technique that uses small cups as suction devices that are placed on the skin to disperse and break up stagnation and congestion by pulling blood closer to the surface. As blood flow increases to the area, the muscle fascia and connective tissue loosen. Cupping therapy has been used for back and neck pain, migraines, muscle recovery and tissue relaxation.

There are two forms of cupping; wet and dry. In dry cupping, the therapist will simply place the suction cups on the skin. In wet cupping, the practitioner will make a small incision on the skin and then apply the suction cup to draw out small amounts of blood. In our office, we only perform dry cupping.

Cupping treatment is very similar to how a deep tissue massage reduces pain. However, cupping is the opposite of massage– rather than applying pressure into the muscles, it uses negative pressure to pull them upward. The suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be drawn into the cup.

Once suction has occurred, the cups can be moved across the skin in a gliding motion using massage oil or lotion. Most patients find this pressure to be particularly relaxing and relieving. The cups are gener-

ally left in place for about 10-15 minutes while the patient relaxes.

Cupping therapy might cause bruising and soreness, which is temporary. The bruising side effects depend on the severity of blood stagnation in the area the cups are placed. The bruising or redness is just from the dilating of the red blood cells - there is no cell damage occurring. During the treatment, some discomfort from the suction is normal. However the elimination of the toxins in the tissue does give the patient some immediate relief.

To inquire more regarding cupping treatment or other treatment options at our clinic, please call our office at 480-470-0133.

HEALTH

GARDENING FOR FOOD SECURITY - AND STRESS RELIEF

By Lee Stewart, Certified Master Gardener with Veg Up Get Dirty

T

he state of the world quickly and dramatically changed with COVID-19. It seems just a few weeks ago we were worried about the full moon and Friday the 13th being in the same week. Ah, good times.

If you have visited a grocery store recently, you have seen firsthand how fear has gripped our community and how rapidly what used to be normal daily life can now seem frightening and unfamiliar. I have been reminded once again how you always need to be prepared for the unexpected.

The recent rains have been beneficial for my own urban farm. The warm rays of sunshine provide assurance that springtime is here and is ready to provide for our gardens. The mild warm temperatures are a wonderful gift to gardeners!

Now is the ideal time to prepare your yard, patio or balcony for your springtime planting. Get your space, soil, and irrigation ready to plant because picking fresh fruits and vegetables packed with 100 percent nutrients has many benefits.

Gardening also brings healthier eating, encourages exercise, and provides stress relief. I have found that I can find peace when working in my garden, and avoiding scrolling through all the distressing newsfeeds on social media and broadcast news.

Gardening can become a very constructive and useful way to decrease anxiety and grapple with our “new normal” in the midst of a pandemic.

If you already have your own garden ready, there are specific seeds to plant in April. Green onions, radishes, carrots and cucumbers should go into the ground. In addition, cantaloupe, watermelon, summer squashes, and others can be started as plants. April is also harvest time for a lot of your winter vegetables. It is the month to transplant your tomatoes and get herb seeds in or plants transplanted.

I began Veg Up Get Dirty several years ago as an edible landscape company. I am a certified master gardener and mentor for the Maricopa Extension Program with the University of Arizona. Since starting my company, I have had the pleasure of assisting with gardens in Montessori schools, private residences of many kinds, offices, balconies, and more. I also offer gardening consultations, garden design, custom building of gardens, the servicing of existing gardens, and education.

I have always been a firm believer in being proactive instead of reactive. Gardening and urban farming can be one effective way to truly be prepared. You can oversee your food supply and ensure that you have access to safe food, and know that in the future you will be ready for whatever happens.

Another advantage to growing your own food is that you don’t have to worry about entering the current chaos and dealing with fights over toilet paper. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your own food supply in your own backyard, or on your patio or balcony? Having your own garden is possible, and right now is a wonderful time to start. north32ndnews.com

I have implemented a gardening coaching service to teach individuals how to take control of their own gardens. You may wonder how this service works. First, I come out to the location and conduct a 90-minute assessment/consultation.

During this assessment I look at your area to find the best placement of your garden, assess for amending needs for your already existing garden, and assess possible watering distribution to the garden. I will also provide information and education to help you and your garden become a healthy team.

It will be my absolute pleasure to join you on your gardening journey and help you grow your own food. Don’t panic! Go plant something in the dirt!

Iron Doors Arizona

ADDING STYLE AND SECURITY TO YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS

By Michelle Talsma Everson

S

teve Yagudayev, CEO of Iron Doors Arizona, knows his way around entryways. The owner of Iron Doors Arizona, LLC, for the past four years, Yagudayev has worked hard as the business has become the largest iron door company in the state with Arizona’s largest showroom, too.

“At Iron Doors Arizona, we design and manufacture the finest handcrafted iron entry doors, custom gates and high end garage doors,” Yagudayev explains. “We are successful in providing our customers with personal detailed service and beautiful, quality products.”

“Our iron doors are designed to meet the highest standards of beauty and

security. We have hundreds of existing designs but also work closely with homeowners, builders, and architects to create custom designs,” he continues. “We specialize in creating custom sizing that will add lasting curb appeal to your home. Customers can choose from many different finish options.

All of our wrought iron doors include the threshold as well as all weather stripping.”

Not only does Iron Doors Arizona provide iron doors for Arizona residents, but they ship doors nationwide. At any point, their warehouse and showroom has more than 500 doors in stock, Yagudayev says.

“Customers can literally watch their home or business transform with our help,” he explains. “Our doors are hand-crafted in a specialized factory with quality management every step of the way. We bring with us a team of highly skilled metal workers, iron forgers, and design consultants whom have a deep understanding and a rich history in the art of forging iron. Our products are hand crafted with the finest steel, exterior artisan paints, and engineered glass.”

So what is the difference between an iron door and a traditional wooden door that most homes and businesses have?

“Wood doors need extensive maintenance and are prone to sagging, drooping and changing shape,” explains Yagudayev. “Wood doors must be stained and sealed every few years to prevent rotting and keep them looking good. Any door over eight feet tall probably does not have a warranty.

Our iron doors need no maintenance, will not change shape or warp, and

come galvanized for marine grade corrosion protection.”

The family-owned company, which is home to about 30 employees and sells between 90-100 doors a month, specializes in helping customers pick out the perfect door for their needs, he adds.

“Helping customers upgrading their home with spectacular custom iron doors is rewarding for all of us,” Yagudayev shares. “Customers can personally see numerous doors in our showroom. We highlight the many different finishes, sizes, styles and options to choose from to customize the doors of their dreams. At Iron Doors Arizona, we show our customers the many different types available for purchase so they can see what the finished product will look like.”

“We know it can be overwhelming to search for styles and designs to choose from, which is why we operate our showroom so you can get a better sense of what you like,” he adds.

“Customers can walk in and view the single and double options with delicate swirls and strong, modern, clean lines, and choose the ones that will perfectly suit their home or business.”

ADVANTAGES OF IRON DOORS “It’s about more than just good looks with your iron front doors,” Yagudayev explains. “We appreciate the time and effort customers put into customizing their choice and we want to make sure they understand the value they get when they add them to their home.”

Some of the benefits of iron doors include: • Customizable for any entryway, north32ndnews.com

whether single or double.

• Rust-free iron with minimal upkeep necessary.

• Weather-resistant with extremely long-lasting materials.

• An instant boost to your property value.

• Competitive pricing and flexible financing.

Design benefits of iron doors include: • No visible weld; they are always smooth.

• High-quality dual pane low-e glass with hand applied faux finish.

• Injected polyurethane foam into the door and frame.

• Heavy-duty weather stripping around jamb and glass frame.

• Single pane or dual pane glass based on needs.

• Pre-hung with flush bolts installed and pre-drilled for hardware.

• Solid threshold is integral to the frame.

• Solid 5/8 inch, ¾ inch and 1-inch scrolls welded to a heavy-duty tubing frame.

CUSTOM AND QUALITY “All of our doors, whether single or double, offer stunning style that incorporates seamlessly into your home and ranges from simple or modern to intricate or old-fashioned,” Yagudayev says. “Curb appeal is instantly upgraded with handcrafted ironwork to create a showstopper that impresses guests, all while the sturdy wrought iron keeps unwanted visitors out of your home for an added sense of security.”

Each door they design comes with a limited lifetime warranty; the best on the market, Yagudayev explains. Also, there are no boring doorknobs here— Iron Doors Arizona is home to a large selection of hand forged door pulls that are designed to enhance the look of the doors.

Worried about ventilation? These doors, he explains, are meant to replace both the traditional wooden and screen doors. The metal screen is magnetic and easy to take on and off. “Our doors come with dual pane, low-e tempered glass – clear, frosted, patterned options – just to name a north32ndnews.com

few,” Yagudayev says.

If home or business owners are worried that iron doors may be hard to open, he says that couldn’t be further from the truth. “With our special ballbearing hinges these doors are easy to open and close. Some homeowners even claim that they are easier than their old solid oak doors!”

“When it comes to door design, the sky is the limit and we are experts regarding suggesting options and customizations,” he continues. “We can easily create shapes — from rectangular to arched — and can use glass or screen paneling to put together the entrance of your dreams. Good news: there is no additional cost for a custom design! Our sales team is here to help with the design process every step of the way.”

For those interested in adding iron doors to their home or business, he shares that custom doors have a turnaround time of approximately 10-12 weeks, and iron doors from the showroom are available in just a matter of days.

RECREATION

SAFE USE OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

T

he National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) prepared the following statement in support of the safe use of parks and open spaces during the COVID-19 outbreak. To date, more than 500 organizations have signed on to voice support.

Concerns about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak continue to grip our nation.

As organizations that support the power of parks and open spaces as essential resources for health and wellness, we understand that people may have questions and concerns about visiting their local parks, trails or open spaces at this time.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has flagged mental health as a top concern associated with the COVID-19 outbreak.

We recognize that social distancing may take a toll on our mental health, especially during highstress and anxiety-producing global public health emergencies. We also know that parks provide a connection to the outdoors and green space as well as opportunities for physical activity which studies demonstrate reduces stress and improves mental health.

14 • April 2020 • NORTH 32ND NEWS

We believe that many parks, trails and open spaces can continue to be used in a safe manner that allows people to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits these spaces provide. In all instances, we recommend people follow local, state and national ordinances and guidelines regarding the use of these spaces and recognize that these vary from community to community.

of social gatherings including outdoor picnicking, pick-up sports and other group hangouts, and maintain proper physical distance at all times.

In places where there are no restrictions on the use of local parks, trails and open spaces, we encourage all users to follow these recommendations:

• Consult their local and state ordinances and guidelines for the most up to date recommendations on park and trail use.

• Refrain from using parks or trails if they are exhibiting symptoms.

• Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to and during use of parks or trails.

• Prepare for limited access to public restrooms or water fountains.

• While on trails, warn other users of their presence and as they pass, and step aside to let others pass.

• Follow CDC guidance on the recommended size

• Observe CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of 6 feet from other individuals at all times. If this is not possible, users should find an alternate location or depart that space.

We encourage local jurisdictions to keep parks, trails and open spaces accessible as long as it is safe to do so.

Our local parks, trails and open spaces have always served as places where people can find respite and seek peace and restoration. During this time of uncertainty, these places are needed now more than ever. Our nation’s park and recreation professionals are working hard to maintain these spaces and keep them safe, accessible and benefiting our communities during these challenging times. Let us all do our part to use them in a way that respects each other and public health guidance.

JEWELRY

WATCHES: HISTORY, REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

By Indra Jhaveri

S

pring-driven, portable clocks developed in the 1400’s presaged the invention of pocket watches in the 1500’s and subsequently, wristwatches. One of the first wristwatches of note was made for the Queen of Naples in 1812. Because these early cases were vulnerable to exposure to the elements and weather, most wristwatches of this time were made for ladies, while men carried pocket watches. The desire of the military for rugged, more durable timepieces that did not require a hand to remove the watch from a pocket prompted the innovation of wristwatches for men.

Mechanical watches are driven by a hand-wound mainspring which supplies the power to move the gears and hands. Synthetic rubies are

used as bearings (and referred to as “jewels”). Besides pocket watches and manually wound wristwatches, there are automatics, tourbillons, chronographs, quartz and solarpowered watches. The tourbillon watch places the escapement and balance wheel inside a rotating case to negate the effect of gravity upon these parts of the movement to increase accuracy. The automatic watch is wound by the movement of the arm when worn. Chronographs have a stopwatch function as well as keeping normal time. Quartz and solar-powered quartz watches are extremely accurate with less moving parts. By applying an electric current to a quartz crystal, the crystal will vibrate at an exact, specific frequency that is the same for all quartz crystals (exactly 32,768 times per second). Modern solar-powered watches use light energy to charge a battery. Battery replacement is a

normal and necessary procedure with quartz watches. Internal damage can also occur to the movement, but inspection and assessment should be quick and simple. If there is damage to the movement, frequently the entire movement will be changed.

Watches are made of very delicate and sensitive parts. Watches are made for various uses, such as active wear for sports. So, this type of watch is made of special materials that are more durable than decorative watches. Regardless of the type, all watches require regular maintenance and occasional repair. A waterresistant case is not waterproof and not all cases are water resistant.

Moisture or dust can get inside the case. There can be a hundred or more parts in a mechanical watch. A strong blow or vibration can dislodge or damage some of the parts.

with gentle heat and then all components are put back in place.

If any parts are damaged, they are replaced (with customer consent if necessary) and adjusted with a special device called a multifunction timegrapher to achieve optimum time balance. New gaskets are placed in the case of the watch and it is then tested for water resistance. Upon completion of the test, the movement is placed inside and tested again for water resistance and then put on a rotor test machine for a day or more to check that everything is working properly. Finally, the watch is then returned to the customer with test results (including charts and photos) and a warranty.

Besides being practical, whether simple or complex, modern or antique, watches are a style statement worthy of the addition to any collection. And with proper care and maintenance, a fine watch will stand the test of time.

ESTATE PLANNING IN THIS TIME OF UNCERTAINTY

By Libby Banks, the Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC

I

am writing this in mid-March, for publication in April, not knowing what the next thirty days may bring. COVID-19 is an uncertain virus that our scientists are still figuring out. Many of you are sheltering in place, avoiding any public meetings and keeping social distance even from family to protect those who are vulnerable.

Many are also thinking about estate planning, but not wanting to proceed because they don’t want to leave home. Because of that, we are offering online meetings through Zoom or via Facetime.

This system allows us to talk with you face-to-face to begin an estate plan for you. For signing the plan, we currently are doing very short in-person meetings but researching other options to permit you to stay home and still put a plan in place.

Some of the benefits of putting a plan in place are assuring that you’ve appointed someone to manage your assets and care for you if you are incapacitated.

One of the best ways to assure that someone can

step in quickly if you are no longer able to handle your affairs is with the Revocable Living Trust. The Trust names the trustee you selected and permits that person to step into your shoes to pay your bills, preserve your assets, liquidate properties, and generally assure that both you and your finances are being cared for.

To begin your estate planning process, call for our free initial consultation: 602-375-6752 or go to our website at Libbybanks.com/schedule-estateplanning-meeting to book an appointment online.

Likewise, after your death, the Trust assures that your named executor can wrap up your estate expeditiously. A properly prepared and funded Revocable Living Trust will avoid the need for probate on your death. Since probate court filings are public record, the trust also avoids the possibility of disclosure of your assets to the public. With a Trust, the person you selected to take charge of your estate will be able to step in quickly to gather, sell and distribute your assets to your beneficiaries with no need for a court’s involvement.

The peace of mind of having your estate planning done is immeasurable. Think about moving forward now; we are blessed to be in this age of technology that permits us to plan even while we are hunkered down to protect ourselves and others.

you to get to know Libby, our Estate Planning attorney and talk about your unique situation and what plan will best fit your needs.

Remember, when you choose Libby you are not only hiring someone to prepare your Estate Plan, you are choosing a seasoned Estate Planning attorney to guide you through this often complex process and raise questions you might not have considered.

DOES CBD OIL HELP ANXIETY? Yes. Cannabidiol CBD helps combat anxiety by interacting with the body’s naturally occurring Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS helps regulate bodily systems and maintain equilibrium, or homeostasis. This includes body temperature, blood pressure, sleep cycles, metabolism, mood regulation and much more.

Solution on page 23.

ANXIETY MEDICATIONS? Of course, but with everything you begin taking, it’s important to consult your health care physician before starting.

Cannabinoids are found in more common places than just hemp and cannabis plants. For example, females produce cannabinoids in their breast milk that are crucial for fetal development.

CBD is a naturally occurring, organic compound. It is completely safe to ingest and take part in a wellness regimen. Although, there are CYP450 liver enzymes that get inhibited from the presence of CBD. These enzymes help break down medications, like blood thinners. This can cause some anxiety medications like Xanax or Ativan, to increase their side effects such as drowsiness or sedation.

Studies have shown that CBD interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and body throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Many of our customers have successfully weaned themselves off of prescription SSRI’s with the help of Hemp CBD and/or medical marijuana.

In a 2011 study, researchers studied the effects of CBD on people with SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder).

Participants were administered an oral dose of CBD, or a placebo dosage. Those who received CBD experienced overall reduced anxiety levels. Many clinical trials have been released on CBD since its popularity arose in the past decade.

WHAT IS AN EFFECTIVE DOSE OF CBD OIL FOR ANXIETY? Average CBD doses for anxiety based on severity: • Mild: 5mg-15mg • Moderate: 15mg-30mg • Severe: 30mg+ (avg. 30mg-60mg)

CAN I TAKE CBD OIL WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS? IS CBD A SAFE ALTERNATIVE FOR

See how one dose a day affects your symptoms. Incrementally increase doses and milligrams as needed until desired effects are achieved. Most end up needing a dose every 6-8 hours to manage chronic anxiety disorders.

MUST WATCH SHOWS AND MOVIES Whether you are feeling sick or well, staying home will help slow the spread of COVID-19. Take this opportunity to spend quality time with your family, get around to organizing the hall closet, or catch up on television. Here are some ‘must watch’ shows and movies, both new and old on multiple streaming platforms. Happy watching!

HULU Devs A woman investigates the technology company she works at, believing they are connected to her boyfriend’s murder. What she discovers could change humanity’s course.

Little Fires Everywhere A suburban family’s life changes when a mother and daughter move to their neighborhood. Secrets and falsehoods are exposed as a result.

Castle Rock Misery has arrived. Lizzy Caplan plays a young Annie Wilkes from Stephen King’s MISERY. In season two of this psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.

Looking for Alaska Teenager Miles enrolls in boarding school to try to gain a deeper perspective on life; after an unexpected tragedy, Miles and his friends try to make sense of what they have been through.

NETFLIX Kingdom In Korea’s Joseon period, a fight for power over the king’s throne ensues.

In the midst of this, a deadly disease brings back the dead to life.

I Am Not Okay with This 17 year old Syd is dealing with common teenager issues: relationships, family, puberty. And possibly superpowers, those too.

Ozark A financial adviser drags his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where he must launder $500 million in five years to appease a drug boss.

Atypical When a teen on the autism spectrum decides to get a girlfriend, his bid for more independence puts his whole family on a path of self-discovery.

AMAZON ZeroZeroZero ZeroZeroZero follows the journey of a cocaine shipment, from the moment a powerful cartel of Italian criminals decides to buy it until the cargo is delivered and paid for, passing through it’s packaging in Mexico and shipment across the Atlantic Ocean.

Hunters In 1977, a young man’s grandmother is killed under mysterious circumstances. Assisted by a man from her past, he joins a group of Nazi hunters to stop a rising Fourth Reich.

Good Omens Aziraphale and Crowley, of Heaven and Hell respectively, have grown rather fond of the Earth. So it’s terrible news that it’s about to end.

The armies of Good and Evil are amassing. The Four Horsemen are ready to ride. Everything is going according to the Divine Plan… except that someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Can our heroes find him and stop Armageddon before it’s too late?

DISNEY+ Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronicling the events that took place between Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones(2002) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005), this show follows the wartime days of Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter), Obi-wan Kenobi (James Arnold Taylor), and Yoda (Tom Kane). This show also brings new characters to the forefront of Star Wars canon, including Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), and Captain Rex (Dee Bradley Baker).

Free Solo From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi (“MERU”) and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin comes National Geographic Documentary Film’s FREE SOLO, a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of the free soloist climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock ... the 3,000ft El Capitan in Yosemite National Park ... without a rope. Celebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, Honnold’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge, Honnold enters his story in the annals of human achievement.

FREE SOLO is both an edgeof-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who exceeded our cur-

rent understanding of human physical and mental potential. The result is a triumph of the human spirit.

HBO The Outsider Based on the Stephen King novel, The Outsider begins with a seemingly straightforward investigation into the gruesome murder of a young boy. But when an insidious supernatural force edges its way into the case, it leads a seasoned cop and an unorthodox investigator to question everything they believe in.

The New Pope Under the papacy of Sir John Brannox under the name of John Paul III, Vatican tries to clean its good name after a series of sexual scandals that jeopardized the institution itself. But an unexpected trouble threatens John Paul III when Lenny Belardo, the previous Pope Pius XIII who was in a coma from nine months ago after to suffer a heart attack while he was celebrating a mass, wakes up to claim his place as the legitimate Pope of Rome.

The news about Pius XIII's comeback shocks the Christianity, turning the admiration of millions of believers in true idolatry for the returned Pope.

Given the unusual situation of two Popes in the Vatican at the same time, it unleashes an inner war between Pius XII and John Paul III, the first to recover his power, and the second to keep it.
