From Me To You...
Now we have text messages, that is something I do love. Text messages allow you to think before you speak February is the month of love and there are many and formulate a crafted thoughtful response. things I love in my life; my family, my friends, Sometimes I don’t answer a text for a few days my job, of course my dogs (when they are not which may seem rude, but honestly if I’d shot off tearing up my house). There are also things that I an answer based on my initial response it would don’t love that I used to... not have gone well. So if you don’t hear from me immediately it is not always a bad thing. I remember when I used to love to talk on the telephone. I would rush home from school after The downside of putting everything in writing spending a whole day with my friends, only to is that people decide what tone of voice you’re jump right on the phone as soon as possible and using when they read it. This can mean that if spend hours talking to them again. My father somebody is having a bad day and they read it would always say “What on earth could you in a frame of mind that is not the most positive, possibly have to talk about when you’ve been they will in all likelihood read the message in a with them all day?” I don’t remember what we negative way. I try to bear that in mind, myself, talked about but I do remember it was fun and when reading emails or texts. If I put a smile on I used have to fight for the telephone with my my face before I start reading then the whole sister and my brother. message can change. You should give it a try! Now talking on the telephone is more of a chore than a pleasure. I think it started because of work - everything that I communicate in the area of my job has to be done in writing to avoid miscommunication, or when there are questions we have something solid to go back to. So I got in the habit of not talking on the telephone. When my phone rings I barely even hear it! I am constantly changing my ringtone and I even tried to turn the volume up in an attempt to notice when it starts to ring. Even with those modifications, more often than not, I don’t get to it, or answer the calls in time. Just ask my children!
Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
Getting back to the telephone, if you call me I probably won’t answer, and if I don’t recognize your number I definitely won’t answer! If you want to communicate with me you should text me or send me an email. I promise to read it with a smile on my face and when I send you an answer I hope you will do the same.

On Our Cover
Our cover model this month is Carlton Bjerkaas. Carlton joined the Air Force ROTC while he was a student at the University of North Dakota which started his career as a Meteorologist. His first tour was as a weather forecaster in San Jose and then Florida, followed by two years in Guam. During his time there he was a meteorologist and flew into Typhoons. Have you ever watched the weather forecasters show you a projected path of a storm? They chart out the speed, strength and projected direction these monsters will take. Well, by flying into the storms himself, Carlton took measurements that were sent back to the Typhoon Center where they were used to make those projections. His work was used to warn people of impending storms and saved lives. The idea of intentionally flying into that kind of weather seems almost impossible to those of us who shake at the idea
Freedom
of mild turbulence, but Carlton did it 19 times during his two years there. After getting his Masters at MIT the Air Force had Carlton working in many locations around the country while he built his career and raised a family. An opportunity to be stationed as Commander of the Weather Detachment in the Azores presented itself. The entire family enthusiastically joined him there despite having to leave friends and family in the US. Retiring as a Colonel, Carlton moved to the private sector working on government contracts supporting the Air Force. After 17 years he retired and had his sights set on Arizona. During 2 consecutive years Carlton was stranded in Arizona after attending a meeting in California and fell in love with the west valley. He now winters here in our beautiful community and summers by a lake in Minnesota. As a member of Military Order of the World Wars he was delighted to find a chapter in PebbleCreek. The passion the group has for supporting Junior ROTC and ROTC here is something he loves. MOWW serves America’s youth by hosting Youth Leadership Conference programs throughout the United States—many at little or no cost to high school students attending. If you are interested in joining them, or just learning more and you are current or retired military, go to www.MOWWWestValleyAZ.org for more information.

Driven To Last
Did you know that one in four Americans keep their cars for an average of seven years or more? Nearly another third (29%) say they typically own their car for three to four years. With Americans keeping their vehicles on the road for the better part of a decade, it’s important to implement consistent maintenance habits to ensure a smooth ride. Hankook Tire rounds up tips for drivers looking to keep their cars cruising well into the 2020s: 1. Keep it on the calendar
Whether consistency comes based on a mileage amount or a specific date on the calendar, setting and keeping regular tune-up appointments is a simple way to keep your car healthy. Regular maintenance inspections can be a great time to evaluate other parts of your car, not just what’s beneath the hood. And, be sure to examine your windshield wipers and headlights to see if they need to be replaced.
long run? For many, this depends on what needs replacing, and whether that part is considered “essential.” For example, only 30% of drivers will replace their tire pressure monitoring system sensors if they were to break. However, these sensors can offer vital information about the pressure in your tires, which has a lasting impact on your entire driving experience. 3. Clean it up Keeping your car clean is about more than just appearances - it can also help keep it running smoothly for much longer because dirt and grime can cause corrosion to the paint and even more, especially if it gets into the mechanics of the car. For those driving over salted winter roads, regular car washes become an even more significant step to extending your vehicle’s lifespan, as winter road salt can be particularly corrosive. No matter if your vehicle is brand new, or you’re looking to hold on to an old-timer a little longer, these tips from Hankook tire can keep you steering straight into the next year, decade and perhaps even beyond.
2. Repair and replace (when needed) Sometimes, a routine oil change will shed light on a maintenance issue that requires more attention. In that event, consider your repair vs. replace decisions carefully - is the option you’re choosing a temporary bandage, or will it help lengthen the life of your vehicle in the

Yum Yum! Anyone who has known me since at least 2017 probably knows that I lost 70 pounds doing the “keto” diet. While I don’t claim to be an expert on the diet/lifestyle, I did amass a nice collection of favorite recipes during the 18 months I spent in ketosis. Although I haven’t been strict “keto” for several years now, I have managed to keep the weight off…well, most of it…by continuing to work those recipes into our family’s monthly meal rotation.
Most of the recipes I use are extremely simple… often just three or four ingredients. Some are
recipes I’ve created myself and others are recipes that I’ve adapted from their “non-keto” original versions. One of our family favorites is called “Salsa Cream Cheese Chicken.” The ingredients are… you guessed it… salsa, cream cheese, and chicken! I use El Sol Homestyle Organic Salsa from Costco (I believe they carry it as Sam’s Club as well). Real homemade salsa would be even better, if you have the time and talent, but the El Sol brand is the closest I’ve found to homemade. Instructions: Place raw chicken thighs in the bottom of a glass casserole dish. (You could use chicken breast, but if you’re following the keto lifestyle, thighs are better because they have a higher fat content. They also just taste better, in my opinion!) Pour salsa over the chicken. I use about half of the 50oz container from Costco, but you’ll have to use your judgment here. Slice the cream cheese into thin strips (I use Philadelphia brand that comes in 8oz blocks) and place them on top of the salsa. I use two of the 8oz blocks, but again, you’ll have to use your judgment. That’s it! Bake the whole dish, uncovered, at 450° until the chicken is cooked through, usually about 25 minutes. Serve with green beans or salad for a keto-friendly meal or add tortillas and rice for carbs. Enjoy! Submitted by Christie Giannetto, West Valley Resident

Furry Friends Dogs are the best. The best welcome home greeters. The best snuggle buddies. And, the best road trip companions. But, just like humans, dogs have ruff days and health problems from aging and their active lives. They don’t always know how to tell us where they hurt or why they are acting differently, but there are some signs that pet parents can watch for.
1. Less pep in their step. It’s natural for dogs to be less active as they age, but with four legs and boundless curiosity, injuries can happen any time. If your fur family member isn’t sprinting around the backyard like normal, or they’re walking up or down stairs instead of running, they may be experiencing leg or paw discomfort. A prolonged change in the way they walk or run could be a sign of hip or joint discomfort indicating a chronic condition, according to veterinarian Elizabeth DeLomba. “Medium to large dog breeds in particular are prone to developing joint issues as they age,” says Dr. DeLomba.
2. Missing your snuggle buddy. They’re always curled up beside you during a Netflix binge or keeping your feet warm in bed every night. But, when your best snuggler starts being anti-social, it may be a sign that they need something more than a cuddle. “A dog acting anti-social may be an indication of a physical problem or discomfort that they are trying to hide,” says Dr. DeLomba. A dog acting sensitive to petting or a gentle touch may signal underlying issues. 3. What’s that smell? Doggie kisses are also the best, but not so much with bad doggie breath. If your dog has consistently bad breath despite special treats and regular teeth cleanings, they may have a tooth or gum issue. Likewise, if your dog is needing to “go” more often, or you start finding accidents in the house, it may be an indication of a urinary issue or problem. If Fido isn’t finishing meals or is not that interested in treats, that’s another sign of possible gastrointestinal distress or other internal issues that may not be obvious physically but may be detected with blood work. Talk to your veterinarian if your dog is demonstrating any of the above behaviors. Depending on the circumstance, your dog may benefit from a simple change such as a new diet or supplement regime. For serious issues, you should always contact your veterinarian, who may need to prescribe medication. Our pets are with us for far too short a time. Watch for their signs of discomfort to keep them happy, healthy, and at your side for as long as possible.

Better Baking
Measuring, mixing, blending and kneading there is so much that goes into the art of baking. You start with the right materials and techniques, but you also need to be familiar with how your oven works to get the best results. Getting to know your oven could be the difference between a beautiful baked good and a not-sogreat one. Here are five questions to ask before you get started on your next batch of goodies.
Gas, electric or convection? This is an important distinction. This not only determines where the heat comes from, but also how it moves around inside the oven. Convection ovens - such as the LG ProBake Oven - are the best for baking as they circulate the air inside the oven for even heat on every rack. They have a bottom heat source but are also equipped with fans to blow the hot air around. Many gas and electric ovens are also heated from the bottom, but the heat is not evenly distributed. When was it last cleaned? Many people go months, or even years, without cleaning their ovens. But months of buildup can cause smoke and ruin your food. Remember to wipe away any spills in the oven after each use or use a drip pan to catch any grease or drippings. Are the nooks and crannies clean? Crumbs and spills hiding in the gaps around your oven can attract pests. One easy way to get these areas clean is to wrap a damp cloth around a butter knife and run it through the cracks, shaking out the dirt and food morsels in the trash as you go. Then, repeat this step with a vinegar-dampened cloth to ensure the area isn’t a welcoming home to mice, ants or other unwanted guests. 14
Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
Where are your oven racks? The placement of the racks inside your oven is more important than you may think. Most ovens get hotter at the top, so if you have two baking sheets in at once, the one on the higher rack tends to cook faster. For best results, place racks in the middle, and be sure to rotate your pans from front to back and top to bottom. Do you have an oven thermometer? Many home ovens are off by five to 15 degrees, some even up to 25 degrees or more. It might seem insignificant, but the wrong temperature can affect your final product. Use an oven thermometer to make sure you’re baking at the correct temperature. Get to know your oven. Answer these questions and follow these tips for delicious, successful baking every time.

Men Of Vision February is such a dull month. On the one hand we are eagerly awaiting the advent of spring, and on the other we relish the relief from ‘the warm weather that is fast approaching. It is like this is the in-between month. But then we look at the calendar and realize that we have a great deal to be grateful for, and February is the reminder. President’s Day: How many remember when we celebrated both George Washington’s birthday and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in February. Then, some bright minds got together and decided that we should combine the two holidays and incorporate them into one National Holiday – President’s Day – commemorating all the presidents of our great country. These two men, in their own way, and in their own time, contributed to our survival as a nation: George Washington ensured our birth and continued existence by contributing wealth and fortitude to help break the shackles of ingratitude and arrogance as displayed by the treatment received from Great Britain. Can anyone truly imagine how difficult it was to distance ourselves from the one entity that gave us the ability to thrive in a free atmosphere only to have it encroached upon time and again because of greed and duplicity? Nowhere in the annals of history do we find a Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
more noble cause nor a more justified example of what freedom meant. Nowhere do we find a people so dedicated to self-determination that they were willing to sacrifice everything they possessed, both physically and economically. “They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” was not a slogan but a call to the whole world that a new chapter in the history of mankind was on the horizon. Abraham Lincoln kept us together as a nation as we attempted to dissolve this experiment called America. It was a time of brother against brother. It was a time when geography was the determining factor as to whether this nation could survive. It was a time when the conscience of our nation was tested in a racial divide that seemed to tear at the very fabric of our souls. It was a time when the true meaning of the words found in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men were created equal” was tested with the ultimate sacrifice of life and limb. “That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” This was, and remains, the majestic contribution of a simple and humble man. America is still, through all its upheavals, the hope of humanity. The message that was transmitted by these two men through word and action still reverberate around the world. The lamp that lights the way at the entrance to our country remains lit for all to see, for all to enjoy, for all to understand that its glow lights the path to hope. God continue to bless these United States. God bless the memory of George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, and…….. Rabbi Irwin Wiener, D.D.
