From Me To You... Have you heard the phrase ‘rooting for the underdog’? It occurred to me the other day that I had been using it at face value for many years without thinking about what it actually means.
easy as eating a piece of pie’ because making pie or cake for that matter is not always simple, for one thing I never have enough eggs in the house...
I was watching my new puppy play with Hank (our 5 year old Goldendoodle) and by play I mean Bandit was pushing his luck and Hank was tolerating the shenanigans. In this scenario you may have thought that Bandit at 20lbs and half a foot tall would be the aforementioned underdog. But no. Poor Hank has displayed a strong propensity for not being the Alpha Male in this household and as such is losing the fight before it even really gets going. Pretty soon Bandit will out weigh Hank and truly rule the roost. So for now we all pretend that Hank is schooling the puppy as I root for him, the larger, sweeter of the two. The true underdog.
‘Stab someone in the back’ is a particularly nasty one. I guess the act of betrayal can be as painful as being stabbed, depending on the person and level of trust that is broken. The sneaky suggestion that because it is from behind, you would not see it coming adds to the viciousness of the act.
Having started down this path of understanding, I thought about other phrases and idioms that I have been using at face value. For example ‘a piece of cake’ or ‘easy as pie’. I believe there are a few words missing there. It should read ‘as
Ever think about what ‘quitting cold turkey’ actually means? This idiom is said to have originated in the early 20th century and suggests that a person who suddenly quits something addictive—such as drugs or alcohol—suffers from side effects that make them look and feel like a cold, uncooked turkey. This includes pale (very white) skin and goose bumps. At least that one has an explanation! Although not a phrase, Oxtail Soup was my favorite meal for many years until one day I realized that I was eating OXTAIL SOUP. Never again. ‘Can’t see the forest for the trees’ is one that happens to me often. I get caught up in the little things and loose sight of the big picture. The minutiae of a thousand small tasks prevents me from seeing that the reason we do all those small things is to be able to enjoy the larger scope of our lives. Family, friends, love and laughter. Hold onto those things when the trees start to crowd in on you Catherine Uretsky Editor, Mountain View Magazine info@estrellapublishing.com 623.594.9283

Summer Fun Keeping young children active and encouraging outdoor play boosts learning
Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested doctors start prescribing play for young children. “Play supports the formation of the safe, stable, and nurturing relationships with all caregivers that children need to thrive,” the report said. Summer is a perfect opportunity to take a drive to escape the summer heat and incorporate some outdoor activities that allow toddlers and preschoolers to spend time outside exercising their bodies and minds. Play in an outdoor, natural environment helps engage a young child’s senses. First Things First reminds families that a nature trip doesn’t have to be a far-off place, it could be a neighborhood park or local splash pads. Here are a few activities to get you started: • Go on a nature scavenger hunt - think of things you might see while outside then use the list to collect items as you walk.
• Talk about what you see, hear and smell. • Observe patterns in a stream or rainbows made by splashing water. • Have a meal outside. Parents are also encouraged to allow their child some time for free play, where the child chooses what activities to do that will allow their imagination and creativity to take over. For more ways on how parents can support their little one’s development through play watch FTF’s short video at http://bit.ly/FTFplay. About First Things First – First Things First is a voter-created, statewide organization that funds early education and health programs to help kids be successful once they enter kindergarten. Decisions about how those funds are spent are made by local councils staffed by community volunteers. To learn more, visit FirstThingsFirst. org.

Alzheimer’s Detection
After 30 years of painting commercial buildings, Mario Martinez of San Jose, California, had experienced days like this before - grueling hours under a sun-soaked sky, doing back-breaking work. He loved his job, but after spending hours outside he was ready to go home. Mario bent down to pick up his paintbrush, roller and can. Turning back to look at his day’s work, he paused. His heart sank. He knew something was wrong.
“Mario came home and told me he had painted the wrong side of the doors on the building,” his wife Veronica said. “It was alarming because he’s been painting buildings for years and never made this kind of mistake. It worried us both.” The couple had both noticed that Mario seemed to be more forgetful recently, but neither had shared their concerns with the other. Now that
Mario’s memory lapses were interfering with his work, it was time to talk. The couple’s difficult conversation led Mario to his doctor’s office and he was eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Mario is not alone. He is one of more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s - a fatal brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Every 65 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease and it’s the country’s sixthleading cause of death. However, having these difficult, but important conversations sooner can prevent a crisis and improve health options and outcomes. To encourage and help more families discuss cognitive problems sooner, the Alzheimer’s Association, in partnership with the Ad Council, has launched the “Our Stories” campaign. “Our Stories” features real stories of people who noticed cognitive changes in a family member and took the first, difficult step to initiate a conversation. The “Our Stories” website (alz.org/ ourstories) offers families tools and resources, including customizable conversation starters, a list of early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s, a downloadable discussion guide and other resources.

4th of July Safety Set a Good Example for Your Kids this Fourth of July Holiday Happy July! With temperatures climbing across Arizona, we try our best to stay cool. But with Fourth of July, fireworks and backyard barbeques, staying cool can sometimes mean showcasing adult habits that may not seem inherently dangerous, but when observed by kids, can become so. Drinking is a very common component in social gatherings. For cookouts on national holidays, like Memorial Day or Labor Day, or even just celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other events, often drinking plays a central role. Independence Day is no exception. In fact, it is the top beer-drinking holiday in the U.S., according to Market Research. And when you’re spending your entire day relaxing and having a good time with friends, you may not realize exactly how much you’re consuming.
Besides the fact that adults should always drink responsibly, it’s important to realize that parents’ behaviors can quickly become learned behaviors by their kids, particularly when it comes to alcohol. As you might expect, drinking alcohol is a completely learned behavior; kids learn to drink by imitating what they see. If a child or teen sees their parent constantly drinking at social gatherings, they may begin to think consistent drinking at these sorts of events is ok. And teens may even begin to partake in it themselves, and at an early age. The summer is more dangerous when it comes to teen drinking overall; more teens will have their first drink of alcohol on a summer day compared to a day during the school year, according to a survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. And on holidays when drinking is more prevalent, this risk only increases. Besides seeing an increase in teen drinking and teaching unwanted behaviors, Fourth of July is one of the deadliest days of the year for drivers. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), last year between the evening of July 1 and the morning of July 5, 188 people nationwide were killed in crashes involving drunk drivers. Parents can show kids that drinking and driving is wrong by not drinking and driving themselves. Remember that children look to their parents as role models. Although parents may tell their kids “do as I say, not as I do,” kids will still learn from their parents’ behaviors. So this Fourth of July, whether you’re hosting the local neighborhood cookout, heading to the pool with friends, or making your way to the local high school to see the city’s firework display up close, showcase responsible drinking habits, and remember not to drink and drive.

5G Is Here
By now, you’ve probably heard about the coming launch of 5G. Rolling into the marketplace for the first time this year, it’s the next generation of cellular technology, and promises to significantly enhance the speed, coverage and responsiveness of wireless networks. It’s a major upgrade, and has wireless carriers excitedly rushing to promote the arrivals of their 5G networks and compatible products. As a result, the average cellphone user may well be wondering: How and when will 5G really make an impact on me? Well, before you feel compelled to rush out and upgrade your phone, consider the following. Ever since the first field tests of 5G were deployed in 2015, hype for the technology has been building. Tests have delivered responses 10 to 100 times speedier than current 4G cellular connections. The arrival of 5G is predicted to bring phenomenal advancements to the digital landscape, marvels like self-driving cars, virtual and augmented reality, and even newly emerging medical services like remote surgery.
50 Years 1969-2019
But that magnificent future is just that: the future. Initially, 5G is only being made available in a small number of launch cities, and even there only to those who’ve already laid out upwards of $1,200 for the first generation of 5G-compatible phones. The rest of us will still be connected to the reliable 4G service we’ve grown used to - and 4G won’t be going away anytime soon. It’s estimated that most wireless networks won’t be providing widespread 5G coverage until the end of 2020, at the very earliest. And even when they do, you can expect the technology supporting 4G to remain in place indefinitely. In fact, unless you’re actively seeking to change, you may not even notice that 5G has been turned on in your area for a long time The bottom line is, if you’re comfortable with your current network speeds and performance, you won’t need to change a thing for a long time to come.

Peace On Earth “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) It’s summer. When I was a child, that meant NO SCHOOL! When I became a parent, it meant finding worthwhile things to occupy my out-ofschool children. With an empty nest but still working, summer isn’t much different from the rest of the year – except the heat. For retirees, there’s choosing activities according to the temperature. There are many other ‘seasons’ to consider. At one time we’re parenting children and at another we’re helping our parents. One day others will care for us. This might be due to age, or a disease, or a knee replacement, or a time of grief. There are seasons of needs and seasons of helping. There are times of wanting and times of plenty. There are busy seasons and fun seasons. For children, there is the season of homework and the season of play. We have seasons of work and seasons of vacation or retirement. Some work seasons are busy and other seasons are busier. I asked a checker how her day was going. She said it was busy, but she liked that better than standing around. She said her shift went faster when she stayed busy.

There are seasons of hope, excitement, and anticipation like when you are getting married, or having a child, or starting a new job, or relocating. There are times of sadness when we say goodbye to friends or loved ones in death or when moving. There are times of depression and hopelessness when we can’t see our way forward to any next season at all. There are blessed seasons of making a difference for those who have less. I appreciate the scripture above and the eight verses that follow. It reminds us that things change. Change is part of living. Oh, that doesn’t mean we like change - although some change is amazing. It’s helpful to know that change is normal. No matter what we face, change is normal. Let’s learn to be mindful of the seasons people are experiencing. Let’s watch for when we can draw alongside and encourage others. Maybe we’ve been where they are, and we can bring the comfort that comes from experience. Maybe we saw a loved one through that season and we can share what we learned. And when the tables turn, and we need the comfort and presence of another, lets have the grace to accept it with gratitude. May God bless you with deep peace in your present season. Trust the Lord to walk you through and give thanks in all circumstances. Submitted by Valerie Fairchild, pastor of Spirit Song church meeting in Vistancia

Retirement
Did you know nearly 1 in 3 people think they’re more likely to learn Bigfoot is real than to save enough to retire comfortably, according to a recent survey from AARP and the Ad Council? But successfully saving for retirement doesn’t have to be a fantasy - or scary. Chances are you’re better at saving than you think. Have you put kids through college? Bought a house? Purchased a car or two? You’re probably better at achieving financial goals than you give yourself credit for. The careful planning and savings skills you’ve already used can help you reach your next big financial goal: a secure retirement. The right tools make it easier. AARP and the Ad Council offer a free online resource to help you get started, where you can create your personal action plan in just a few minutes. Get started at AceYourRetirement.org today. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll have peace of mind, and a concrete plan. While everyone’s situation is unique, here are steps you can take today.
1. Take advantage of your employer’s retirement benefits. If your workplace offers a 401(k) or other savings plan, make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck. If your employer matches part of your contribution, aim to contribute at least enough to get the full match. 2. Try to pay down debt. No matter your situation, reducing debt is always smart, as debt you carry eats away at savings you’re trying to set aside. Check interest rates on your current mortgages, car loans, home equity loans, parent loans or credit cards. Consider working toward paying down loans or cards with the highest interest rates first. Call your credit card companies and ask for a lower interest rate. 3. Have a family conversation. When it comes to any big financial decision, it helps if everyone is on the same page. Talk to your adult children about how paying down your debt and saving for retirement is a priority, and that helping them with their education, housing or other responsibilities is a secondary goal. 4. Plan your retirement timing. “As soon as possible” isn’t the best way to decide when to retire. If your health and work situation allow, delaying retirement until your late 60’s or even early 70’s can make a big difference to your long-term financial security. 5. Live within your means. Spending only what you can afford is key to financial security.Enjoy life now, but don’t let that enjoyment come at the cost of your future. Saving money consistently every month can help make a secure retirement a reality. These goals are within your control, and you can make progress if you start small, start today and make a plan.

Be Neighborly In this age of political and economic uncertainty, many Americans are seeing the value of living in caring neighborhoods and acting as good neighbors.
Interested in becoming a better inhabitant of your own neighborhood? Consider these suggestions aimed at promoting a kinder, friendlier environment. * Introduce yourself. Take the first step toward being better acquainted. Instead of avoiding contact when in your yard or out for a walk, shake hands, say hi and make an effort to remember people’s names. Even when in-person contact is brief, it can go a long way toward helping people feel connected and more like friends than strangers.
transportation and/or other assistance for neighbors going through tough times. Teaming up to help others may make your neighbors feel more connected, and people on the receiving end of such kindness tend to pay it forward.
* Live by the golden rule. Treat your neighbors as you would like to be treated. Clean up after pets and kids, drive through at reasonable speeds, don’t be overly loud, mow at reasonable hours, return anything you’ve borrowed and generally stay aware of how you’re coming across to others. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, it can feel good to live in a neighborhood that feels more like a community than an anonymous collection of strangers. Consider how you can take initiative to create warmth and peace within your own neighborhood.
* Take new neighbors housewarming gifts. Make newcomers feel wanted and welcome by acknowledging their arrival with a thoughtful gift. * Give new families contact info for neighbors and neighborhood amenities. Include phone numbers for emergency services, doctors’ offices, dentists, schools, babysitters, entertainment options, sources of great takeout food, dry cleaners and any other assets you think may be helpful. People will appreciate your insider view into local amenities, and they’ll be more likely to communicate key information to others if their contact info is readily available.

Movies
Movies both bring us together and bridge generational divides. They help us relate to each other and understand past eras. Great movies also shape a generation, creating a common experience. They reflect the hopes and dreams of their audiences. Here are 7 movies to help forge connections between parents and children, or grandparents and grandchildren. They will evoke memories and provide lively topics for conversation. “Lady and the Tramp,” 1955, tells of two dogs born on opposite sides of the tracks who fall in love. Pampered cocker spaniel Lady feels neglected after her humans have their first baby. Tramp, a stray, also feels abandoned by humans - he scrounges for food to get by. Would Lady give up her cushy life to be with Tramp? Would Tramp give up his freedom to be with her?
“The Little Mermaid,” 1989, introduces Ariel, a mermaid who wants to be human after falling for a human prince. Ariel must choose whether to sacrifice her beautiful voice to be with him. In “Rebel Without a Cause,” 1955, James Dean plays a teen from a middle-class family struggling with his identity and parental criticism. When he’s arrested for drunkenness, his bickering parents arrive, revealing their dysfunction. In jail, he befriends a girl who violated curfew and another troubled boy. The three develop a friendship, until they run into trouble with a gang. A more lighthearted look at teen angst, “The Breakfast Club” (1985), follows an unlikely group suffering Saturday detention together. Although the teens are from different social cliques, they form a bond, learning they have more in common than they first thought. “Marty,” 1955, introduces a middle-aged man badgered by his family to get married. His mother pushes him to go to a dance, where he meets Clara, an “old maid” abandoned by her blind date for being “plain.” Though both are deemed unattractive by society, they overcome criticism from their community and make a connection. “When Harry Met Sally,” 1989, asks the question: Can men and women be friends? The comedy follows their friendship over the years, until it blossoms into romance. Interspersed with their love story are interviews with elderly couples telling how they first met. In “Some Like It Hot,” 1959, musicians who witnessed a mob massacre escape by dressing as women and joining an all-female band. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon star with Marilyn Monroe in a hilarious movie that questions gender stereotypes and myths about romance. Grab a bucket of popcorn and plan a fun movie night with your loved ones.

Tire Blowouts Most tire blowouts happen from mid-May through early October, according to tire safety experts at Nokian Tyres. This is the time when the outside temperatures are warmest and drivers are traveling longer distances. However, a tire may fail at any time due to factors such as improperly repaired punctures, impact damage, improper inflation and overloading. Properly controlling a vehicle when a tire failure occurs is key to minimizing damage to the vehicle. When a tire blows out, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If this occurs, it’s important to keep the following tips in mind: 1. Remain calm and control the vehicle Staying calm may seem like an unrealistic expectation, especially when something as scary as a tire blowout is occurring, but you will be doing yourself a favor by keeping a straight head and handling the situation in a composed manner. Here’s how:
3. Observe the damage If one or more of the tires looks flat, low, or shows detachment or other damage, remove the tire assembly and replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges in a tire may indicate detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire technician. 4. Replace the damaged tire Check the vehicle’s owner’s manual to find where the spare tire and necessary tools to change it are stored. If you don’t know how to switch the tire, call for roadside assistance. It’s important not to drive on the flat tire. Not only is this extremely dangerous, but it can also do more harm to your vehicle requiring costly repairs. Keep in mind that spare tires are only recommended for emergency situations and should not be driven on for long distances or at high speeds. While tire blowouts are not 100 percent avoidable, taking proactive steps to ensure your tires are well maintained can help decrease the chances of damage.
* Gently remove your foot from the accelerator and let the vehicle slow down gradually. * Keep your hands firmly on the steering wheel and guide the vehicle straight ahead. The tires are going to try to pull toward one side, but it’s extremely important not to turn the car. * Pull over to the shoulder and come to a complete stop. 2. Make yourself visible to other drivers If possible, try to pull over with the damaged tire facing away from traffic. This will make it easier and safer to observe and replace the tire. Once the vehicle has safely come to a complete stop, turn on the emergency flashers and observe your surroundings. If the road conditions are safe, exit the vehicle, put out reflective cones, if available, and assess the situation. Estrella Publishing - Mountain View magazine
