Highland Dancer: Kirsty Cook BY KIERA L. & ELLIE P. | MOUNTAIN SKY JOURNALISM Ever since she was eight years old, Kirsty Cook’s mom had been begging her to start Highland dancing. Their Scottish heritage always kept Mrs. Young eager for Kirsty to carry on a family tradition that she herself never got the chance to do. Highland Dancing is a style of individual competitive dancing that is designed to celebrate Scottish history and tradition. Kirsty stated that “seeing me dance makes her happy, and proud.” At age 9, Kirsty finally gave in to her mom’s wishes and after just one rehearsal, she fell in love. At first Kirsty started dancing at “Kari Maschino School of Highland Dance” three years ago. She now dances at the “School of Classical Ballet in Peoria.” On weekends, her rehearsals can last up to 2-3 hours. She constantly motivates herself to dance because she loves being able to say that she does this unique form of dance rather than other traditional ones. “I just think it’s fun, and I can’t see myself doing any other form of dance.” Recently, Kirsty went to Prescott to compete for a new title. She ranked highest out of seven other contestants in her category. Additional competitions have been in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and California. She strives to be the best she can, and has never ranked lower than 2nd place. Kirsty’s twin sister Eilidh, and close friend, Mackenzie B. agree that Kirsty is a dedicated student while juggling her social life, and dance. She sometimes feels left out when her friends invite her to hang out, and she can’t. She does eventually find time to do some of her favorite things including being able to go to the lake, mall, and having sleepovers with friends.
Thunderbird student council gives back at st. vincent de paul BY CIARA ESCALANTE The student council of Thunderbird High School, a proud member of the Glendale Union High School District, recently took the opportunity to give back to their community when they volunteered at nonprofit organization, the Society of St. Vincent De Paul. The organization helps provide food, shelter and services to individuals and families in their community. The Thunderbird Student Council provided a lending hand at St. Vincent De Paul’s Urban Farm by harvesting and cleaning its vegetables. The produce that the students attended to will be sent to the organization’s central kitchen and added to food boxes to feed families in need. To learn more about Thunderbird’s volunteerism activities, visit their Facebook page @ThunderbirdHighSchoolAZ.

Rookie Mom: Pinterest is the Best goal-Setter for visions B Y B R I G H I D C O N S TA B L E For Christmas, I headed to my husband’s adopted hometown of Spokane, Washington. While there, my sister-in-law correctly (and hilariously) gave me an extra-large lounging sweatshirt that read said, “TV Marathoning Is My Cardio.” It’s true. A) I love relaxing and just watching TV when once I put my daughter to sleep, and B) I have no idea what cardio or exercise to do when I do give myself the time. I truly wanted to stay away from the cliched New Year’s Resolution of losing weight, so I’m going to focus this article in this direction… This month is my birthday month. I’m turning 34 on January 7. I have this Pinterest board that I’ve been occasionally dumping my dreams into, but this past month I focused it to: “Things to Do As 34.” Things to accomplish this year, just for me. I believe in the power of manifesting and creating a vision with gratitude, letting it go while working towards it, and seeing what comes back. I feel like this New Year’s Resolution/Birthday Board does it for me. So first off the list: Lose the baby weight! I truly dislike putting down bodies or the amount (or even what) people eat. But, it’s been three years since I’ve felt even slightly comfortable with my body and I definitely want to return to that feeling of being free in my skin. Next: Travel to a country or state that I’ve never been to. This one shouldn’t be too difficult… As an Arizona native I’ve weirdly never been to Mexico or Utah, but either way, it’s my hope to travel the hippie town and run-over ruins of Tulum or hike the copper swipes of Moab and see its infamous stars.
I’d love to help you in your next real estate transaction!

Being a mother, teaching about the world, and writing about true experiences is truly what gets me going in the day. With that, I truly want to surround myself with people who have like-minded interests in the direction of how to teach and be thoughtful innovative in the Phoenix community. I would love to have a mentor who I feel like I could be myself around to help guide me while balance my personal and professional career. And finally, I truly want to do a “Vibe 180.” I want to put more into myself emotionally than what I think I can be doing. Therapy gets such a negative reputation, but I find it healthy to discuss how life affects me at work, as a mother, as a friend, and as a wife. More than therapy, I want to work on understanding the more spiritual aspects of life to help me widen my perspective of life. With this, I once asked a work friend what he was doing over New Year’s weekend. He responded with a really negative attitude, “A friend wants me to do a vision board.” So, without the negative attitude, I really encourage you to write down what YOU want this year. No judgement. Pen it with an open heart and if you’re really into it, do it with a very close friend so they know how to support you through the year. Heck, I’m vision boarding with a circle of close friends this year knowing that it makes me feel a little lighter and happier with a fresh perspective to 2019. With that, I’ll cheers to happy start where all intentions are filled with gratitude, love, and support!

Times changed, and unfortunately, we were not able to secure this young group and hired a delivery company to bring you the news of the Tattler. It is with much excitement we are announcing yet a new way to get you the most current edition of the Moon Valley Tattler, delivered right to your very own mailbox! No more wet and soggy papers during monsoon season, no loose papers flying about during the haboobs, or you missing a month due to a vacation schedule, the paper will come rain or shine!

A Joy-Filled experience
What is My process:
BY M AG G I E D E SM O N D, CL A SS O F 2022
BY STEPHANIE RITSCHER
Of all the opportunities National Charity League, Inc. (NCL, Inc.), has provided to become involved and learn more about our community, one of my favorites is The Joy Bus Diner, an organization that provides meals for cancer patients. Prior to volunteering over the summer, multiple people told me about their experiences and how all the recipients are so gracious. An elderly woman was my first delivery. Each meal is delivered in a hand-decorated bag to bring added cheer to the recipients. The woman kept all of the bags she had received and loved how each was uniquely customized. She told us how much she enjoyed getting all the different, tasty NCL Volunteers with the Joy Bus meals, and how what we were doing made her day much brighter. After the delivery, my mother said, “Wow, it really feels good to help people have a meal to look forward to at least once a week. I know how draining chemotherapy can be.” Since 2011, The Joy Bus Diner (www.thejoybusdiner.com) has been helping cancer patients, serving breakfast and lunch during the day, with all proceeds going to benefit The Joy Bus. On Friday mornings, The Joy Bus becomes a place for volunteers to make someone’s day brighter. Meals are lovingly prepared for people suffering with cancer, packaged in hand-crafted bags, and delivered by volunteers with well wishes. The diner is an inspiration to me because of their selflessness and contribution to the those going through a tough time in their life. The Joy Bus Diner is an incredible charity that makes you want to contribute more to your community. NCL, Inc. is a philanthropic organization with over 200 chapters across the country that all share the mission of fostering strong mother-daughter relationships through community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. Class sizes range from 7th to 12th grade. For more information about NCL, Inc. please visit our website at https://moonvalley.nationalcharityleague.org/.

I have been asked many times what is my design process? To me the very first step is meeting my new potential client. So much of the next few months will depend on this initial meeting and how compatible we are. It is like hiring a friend, for a period of time, but one that isn’t clouded by their own design preferences. We need to be able to be comfortable enough with one another to be honest. As a designer, I am not there to put my own style in your home, but help you discover yours. There will be times that colors, fabrics and finishes may not be exactly what you were thinking but the nos are just as important to me as the yeses. My goal is to learn the boundaries of your likes and dislikes so that as the process progresses, you will see more items tailormade to your likes. This is not the time to be shy but to speak you mind. You will also get some hard truths from me as well. Our goal is to get on track for a “look”. There are no right or wrong roads in the beginning of a project but as time goes on, selections will become more focused. The goal, in the end, is to find a look you will be happy with for years to come.

Make 2019 Even Better -Try something new
BY BRET ALDIERI, MVNA PRESIDENT
Happy New Year 2019 Moon Valley. Wow – what a great holiday season we had. Another year has arrived, and with it a new beginning is possible. Are you up for a challenge? Let’s all try something new. It might be a new workout, a new way of eating, a new job, but here’s a list I’ve compiled of things to try – and don’t worry if you want to try more than one. - Find a new route to work, mix it up, be more adventurous; it’s the path, not the destination - Take a 30-minute walk, once or twice daily; without earbuds or phone - Commit to not repeating a negative news story but only the positive ones; let’s change the tone - Volunteer – help with girl or boy scouts, a youth team, or a charity; help others - Make someone’s day, every day – a cheery hello, holding a door open, or just a smile; be positive - Read something new, set a target to read a book a month or more; expand your mind It’s hard to believe, but just one year ago this month the Phoenix City Council approved the water pipe solution for Moon Valley. This water solution brings affordable canal water to keep our three local golf courses green: Lookout Mountain Golf Club (LMGC), Cave Creek Golf Course, and Moon Valley Country Club (MVCC). Water should be turned on in the next month or so, and with water cost reductions starting in April. By now, we all have grown weary of the construction on Thunderbird, but better days are close ahead. This Spring, Thunderbird Road will get new rubberized asphalt overlay – new smooth pavement! Thanks again to Councilwoman Deb Stark for all she does for Moon Valley. MVNA is holding our annual meeting on January 9th at MVCC with a 7 PM meeting start preceded by a cash bar happy hour. The meeting is open to all residents of Moon Valley. Our guest speakers will be Councilwoman Deb Starks and Black Mountain Precinct Commander Tom Van Dorn. It should be a good night to network with neighbors and learn more about issues affecting our community. As of the timing of this article, I don’t have the results yet for the 2018 Food for Lights campaign. I will give an update in the February edition. Frequent our website: www.moonvalleyna.org which is updated weekly with information on MV Events. Moon Valley - Neighbors helping Neighbors

conversation pits B Y T O M S E R T I C H , K I R K D E V E L O P M E N T C O M PA N Y There are numerous homes throughout the valley with conversation pits, most popular during the late 60’s and 70’s. Sometimes these areas can cause safety issues to the very young and elderly. For that reason most homeowners want to eliminate them and take back the area to usable space. This space may include a fireplace or just a secluded area to enjoy conversation with family and friends. Today, homeowners want open spaces and these pits intrude on their open area concept. Can you fill this area in? The answer is yes, these areas can be filled in to give back the area of unused space for between $2,800.00 to $4,500.00 on average. If you want to eliminate your unused conversation pit and make your room usable, call Kirk Development (9443658) to give you a free estimate for filling in your pit.

to keep your resolutions, know your "why" B Y L I B B Y B A N K S , T H E L AW O F F I C E O F L I B B Y B A N K S , P L L C , E S TAT E P L A N N I N G Over the years, I’ve made many a resolution at the New Year. Some I’ve kept, others went by the wayside quicker than day turns into night. Why is that, and how can I really keep the resolutions that are important to me? I’ve contemplated that question and asked a few experts how to succeed with more of my New Year’s resolutions. One told me it all boils down to this: find your “Why.” The resolution may be to exercise regularly. Your plan: get up at six a.m. and get to the gym early every weekday. But when the alarm goes off, and the air outside those comfy blankets is chilly, you didn’t sleep well, and your spouse snuggles close, what makes the difference between hitting the snooze button and getting out of bed? It’s your “why.” Why are you committing to this goal? Keeping with exercise, maybe it’s to be sure you can keep up with your grandchildren. It may be to live a longer life than perhaps your own parent did. Maybe it’s to look good, to be attractive to the opposite sex. But digging deeper into that “why” will make the difference between being successful and having the resolution fall by the wayside. Why do you want to keep up with your grandchildren? Perhaps to avoid being left on the park bench or at home when the family goes off to do some fun activity. Maybe you want to take the grandchildren on a life changing trip. The “why” for staying healthy and living a long life? Perhaps it’s to be there to support your children in their own journey through life. Looking good for the opposite sex? Maybe you are looking for that true love, starting a family and having a happily ever after. Keeping the “why” of your goal in mind is crucial to succeeding when the going gets tough. It’s easy to be gung-ho about getting to the gym when you are off for the holidays and you get to sleep in and still get out for your daily dose of activity. When you are back at work, the stress is kicking in, and you were up half the night comforting a child who had a nightmare, you need to focus on the ultimate reason
your goal is so important. That’s what gets you to crawl out from under those warm blankets, put on the tennis shoes, and head out the door. So why am I talking about this in my usual estate planning article space? Because many of my clients commit to doing an estate plan as part of their resolutions. Why? Here are a few good reasons to put this goal on your list this year. It gives you peace of mind! If you’ve read my articles before, you know you need to put some kind of plan in place. When you have done so, it will be a big load off your mind. Many of my clients look visibly relieved when we finish up their plan. It shows your family you love them. Your family loves you. When you die, it will be a huge loss for them. You show them that you love them by making sure you don’t leave a mess behind. It’s agonizing for your child or other heirs to deal with all the pieces of your life and estate without the proper documents, with no guidance from what you left behind, and with no way to know if they are doing what you wanted. Give them the gift of a good estate plan. It helps maintain family harmony. If you’ve set out your wishes in a proper plan, the chances of family arguments or drama are greatly diminished. Knowing what your wishes are helps to eliminate the fighting that can take place if no one has a clue what you intended to have happen. It makes sure you can be cared for more easily if you are unable to care for yourself. If you are incapacitated and your loved ones need to step in to help, will they have what they need to do so? This situation can be fraught with stress. If your family doesn’t have the ability to step in easily to care for you, they may have to go to court to declare you unable to handle your affairs and to be appointed your guardian and conservator. This court proceeding will be costly and time consuming. Having the right plan in place can help to avoid court and assure that your family can smoothly take over and assist you. Not sure about why you should do estate planning, or just what you should do? I offer a complimentary initial estate planning consultation to go over your situation and talk to you about the what and why of a plan tailored to your needs. Give me a call at 602-375-6752 or visit my website at www.libbybanks.com to get more information.

Medical studies conclude chiropractic maintenance effective! BY DR . JAME Y REICHOW This newsletter is based on the following two bio-medical journal articles: The Nordic Maintenance Care program: Effectiveness of Chiropractic Maintenance Care Versus Symptom-GuidedTreatment for Recurrent and Persistent Low Back Pain:A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial, Public Library of Science (PLoS) One September 12, 2018; Vol. 13; No. 9; e0203029 Influence of Initial Provider on Health Care Utilization in Patients Seeking Care for Neck Pain. Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Innovations, Quality & Outcomes, October 19, 2017; Vol. 1; No. 3; pp. 226-233 The aim of the first study was to investigate the effectiveness of chiropractic maintenance care on pain for patients with recurrent or persistent low back pain. In other words, is maintenance care effective for reducing or eliminating chronic low back pain. It was an investigator-blinded, randomized controlled trial using 328 subjects aged 18-65 years, with non-specific low back pain, who had an early favorable response to chiropractic care. The primary outcome was total number of days with bothersome low back pain during 52 weeks. The status was collected weekly via text messages. Maintenance care is essentially maintaining a person who is out of pain and has increased function. In this study the maintenance group had a faster reduction in days with bothersome low back pain and reached a pain free state earlier. Maintenance chiropractic care “resulted in a reduction in the total number of days per week with bothersome LBP compared with symptom-guided treatment.” In other words, chiropractic spinal maintenance care keeps people pain free and healthier than merely symptom care. They found that patients who continued to receive spinal manipulation after an initial course of care had lower pain and disability scores at a 10-month follow-up. The above Mayo Clinic study began by stating: “It is imperative to evaluate the difference in health care process and outcomes in patients initially consulting with non-pharmacological providers (ie, DCs and PTs)and pharmacological providers (ie, specialists) in comparison to PCPs.The study used a retrospective group of 1,702 patients (69% women) with a new episode of neck pain who consulted a primary care provider (PCP), physical therapist (PT), a chiropractor (DC), or specialist: PCP 44% DC 23% PT 17% Specialist [physiatrists, neurologist] 16% The results are shown in the following chart: Provider Opioids w/I 14 days Opioids w/I 30 days Opioids w/I 1-year MRI/CT w/i 1 year Injections Surgery X-rays

Initial consultation from either a DC or PT decreases the patient’s odds of being prescribed an opioid at 30 days or within any time in the 1-year follow-up period. “We found that initial consultation with a non-pharmacological provider, such as a chiropractor or physical therapist, is associated with a decrease in the downstream utilization of health care services, and importantly a decrease in opioid use 30 days and 1 year after the initial consultation.” “Recent American College of Physicians low back and Centers for Disease Control opioid prescription guidelines, favor non-pharmacological interventions often provided by DCs and PTs.” “Stronger alignment of PTs and DCs as front-line providers by health care systems may be needed in light of the widespread addiction, which has been identified as a public health epidemic.” “Physical therapists and DCs primarily treat neck pain with exercise therapy and manual therapy, which has been found to have good effectiveness in treating nonspecific neck pain.” Compared to primary care physicians: • Chiropractors are the next most often consulted health care provider consulted for the treatment of an acute episode of neck pain. • In every assessed parameter, chiropractic had the best outcomes, specifically: •• lowest rate of opioid prescription •• lowest use of advanced imaging •• lowest use of x-rays •• lowest referrals for injections •• lowest use (referrals) for surgery (in fact the number was zero).” Two wonderful studies by the medical community affirming what we already know and practice!

Helping Yourself by Helping Others in 2019 BY K ELLEN N E WSOM E, CL A SS O F 2022 Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to give more back to the community? Well, for Boys Team Charity it is, as they are currently working with around 20 different major philanthropies to make 2019 the best yet. As I start my new year, I will be focusing on volunteering with Desert Mission Food Bank in the North Phoenix and Sunnyslope area. Never have I met a group of volunteers more caring about their work and helping others, as the members of Desert Mission are. Desert Mission Food Bank provides food and necessities for people who are experiencing homelessness, and especially those who are food insecure. Recently, the Boys Team Charity Class of 2022 took a trip to the facility to volunteer in the warehouse. During our time there, we helped pack and sort a variety of food items including soup, fresh veggies, and fresh fruit for families. Desert Mission Food Bank provides an outstanding experience to all volunteers who are willing to have a hands-on experience. In some parts of the volunteer work, people are able to help in the market area, where those in need are able to pick and choose from the food available. Our group walked customers through the market area and, in most cases, had opportunities to have a great conversation with warm-hearted folks.
Personally, learning about people’s daily lives and how they grew up really touched my heart and, in the end, made me want to help more. Now, as I look back on the volunteer work we participated in, my perspective has changed on the way I volunteer and going forward, I plan to continue to help with Desert Mission Food Bank. There are plenty of different opportunities to work at Desert Mission, for all types of volunteers. If you’re a bit shy, you might want to stick with the sorting and packing, but an outgoing person may fit better interacting one-on-one in the market area. I feel Desert Mission provides the perfect philanthropy project for volunteers with all motivations and is even a great place to start for your first volunteering. Who knows, maybe at some point in 2019 we’ll find ourselves sorting food items alongside each other.
¡Buen Camino! BY SHANNON E. PERRY ¡Buen Camino! (good walk; good way) was a greeting we heard and with which we greeted other peregrines (pilgrims) as we walked the Camino de Santiago, the Way of St. James, from Sarria to Santiago, Spain, a distance of 118 km (73 miles). My sister, Joan, our sister-in-law, Joan, and I spent nine days walking along paths through farmland, villages, and along streets and highways. Other pilgrims were traveling by bicycle or on horseback. We stopped in churches and cafes to have our Passports stamped, to verify that we had indeed walked the Way. We were required to have at least two stamps per day in order to receive our certificate indicating that we had completed the walk. We met many pilgrims who started in St. John (St. Jean Pied de Port) in France to walk the entire way of 791 km (492 miles). Those who started in St. John had to cross the Pyrenees Mountains in the early part of their journey.
We had arranged with a travel company for hotel accommodations and transport of our luggage each day. Our breakfasts and dinners were included with the hotel. We used walking sticks and had only to carry our day packs with
16
water and snacks and any first aid equipment that we might need. There was water along the way to refill our water bottles and small bar/cafes to have soup, a sandwich, or fruit for lunch. Every day was beautiful, whether it rained or was sunny. It was a spiritual experience to walk the Way as well as a nice stroll through the countryside. We met many wonderful people and saw them on several days along the way and in Santiago when we arrived. Some stayed in the same hotels where we stayed. Most pilgrims walked much further each day than we did (20 to 25 miles) and secured their accommodations in albergues (hostels/hotels) as they arrived in a village. Our walk was complicated by the non-arrival of my luggage and our sister-in-law’s painful knee. After five days, I hired a taxi, traveled to the airport and picked up my luggage. The airline gave no explanation for why the luggage was not delivered in spite of our contacting them each day requesting that it be delivered. Joan wore a knee brace, took medication to ease the pain, and rested her knee as much as possible. When she returned home, she learned that she had a fracture in the upper part of her lower leg and has been on crutches ever since allowing it to heal. On arrival in Santiago, we went to the Cathedral to see the statue of St. James and then to the office to obtain our certificates. That evening we attended a Mass for pilgrims during which the incense was burned in the Botafumeiro, a thurible which requires the efforts of eight men to swing it from side to side until it reaches close to the ceiling, a most impressive spectacle. The following day, we took a bus journey in a heavy rain to the finisterre, the end of the world, where some pilgrims burn their clothes or boots at the end of their walk (we didn’t). A wonderful end to a remarkable journey.

Residential and Reverse Mortgages
Keep Calm and Carry on THE WRITE STUFF BY GERRY JOHNSON Depending on to which news or media sources you ascribe, it is easy to be convinced that another housing crash is eminent. Daily we are inundated with projections of doom and gloom. Rising interest rates, stock market volatility, the recent government shut-down, undocumented workers usurping the job market, and on and on, are all reasons to fear that another bust is just around the corner. Nothing could be further from the truth according to a blurb in the Keeping Current Matters blog entitled “4 Quick Reasons NOT to Fear a Housing Crash.” They point out that the underlying conditions that precipitated the crash beginning in 2006 are not present today. Homeowners as a whole are much better positioned to weather the storm if there is the downturn that some pundits project. Their four reasons why the market is different today are: 1. There are fewer foreclosures now than there were in 2006. The sheer number of foreclosures spiked by over 100% prior to the crash. Foreclosures sold at a big discount, thus driving down the value of other similar homes in the same area. Foreclosures today are at a historic pre-crash low.

2. Most homeowners have tremendous equity in their homes.
Ten years ago, many homeowners had converted much, or all, of their equity into cash with cash-out refinances and Home Equity Lines of Credit. Many walked away from the negative equity situations that ensued, thus exacerbating the situation. Today, over forty-eight percent of homeowners have at least 50% equity in their homes. The frenzy to pull out home equity is not nearly so prevalent as it was in 2006. 3. Lending standards are much tougher.
There were almost no standards in 2006. NINJA loans (no income, no jobs, no assets) are not available today. ARMS (adjustable rate mortgages) do exist, but only at a fraction of the number of a decade ago. Recently standards have loosened, but the documentation required has actually gotten tougher. Now, one has to be able to substantiate that they can afford to purchase. 4. Affordability is better now than in 2006.

From 1985 to 2000 mortgage payments on the typical U.S. home averaged 21.2% of median income. In 2006 it jumped to 25.4%. Today it is at 17.5%. In other words, the percentage of income committed to a mortgage payment is at the lowest level in 34 years. More disposable income means better staying power.
Here is the bottom line: As a nation, we are in a much better position to weather any storm than we were in 2006. Actually, now is a really good time to buy a home. Prices are still reasonable, supply is getting better - especially over the last three months, and rates are still very good (rates are much lower than our parents and grandparents paid to buy their dream home). My advice is to do what makes sense. If you are interested in making a move in the real estate market, consult with your Realtor, trusted mortgage loan officer, your financial advisor and if it makes sense, by all means, proceed.

Why Americans Love Chiropractic
“Selling or Buying We Can Help with Your Real Estate Needs”
WELLNESS IN MOTION BY DR. NICHOLAS WARNER, CMT DC If you’re suffering from neck and/or back pain, do you take pain medication from your local pharmacy, consult with a medical doctor, or just endure the pain for as long as you can? A recent Gallup / Palmer College of Chiropractic survey of American adults conducted earlier this year provides the latest evidence that there’s a much better option available: chiropractic care. Learn why chiropractic is a popular choice for neck and back pain – and then schedule an appointment with your chiropractor today if you’re in pain (or want to prevent pain from striking in the first place). Spine Specialists Come First "For neck or back pain care, eight out of 10 adults in the United States (80%) prefer to see a health care professional who is an expert in spine-related conditions instead of a general medicine professional who treats a variety of conditions (15%).” Pain Meds Aren’t Preferred “Prescription pain medications are not preferred as a first step for care among the vast majority of U.S. adults. When given a choice, nearly eight out of 10 (79%) say they prefer to try other ways to address physical pain before they take pain medication prescribed by a doctor.” Chiropractic Is a Popular Choice “Among those who saw a health care professional for neck or back pain in the last 12 months, 62% saw a medical doctor and 53% saw a chiropractor. About a third saw a physical therapist (34%) or massage therapist (34%) for care.” Why Chiropractic? Because It Works “Nearly half of adults who saw a [DC] for significant neck or back pain (52%) said one of the biggest reasons they chose chiropractic care was because ‘this health care professional provides the most effective treatment for my pain.’ More than four in 10 patients who saw a physical therapist (42%) and 23% who saw a medical doctor for significant neck or back pain said effectiveness was one of the biggest reasons they chose this type of health care provider.” A Great Overall Experience “Roughly nine out of 10 adults who saw a chiropractor most often for significant neck or back pain in the last 12 months say their chiropractor often listens (93%), provides convenient, quick access to care (93%), demonstrates care/compassion (91%) and explains things well (88%) – and 90% of chiropractic patients say that their chiropractor spends the right amount of time with them.”

Explosive! BY MARTHA SANTOS As December of 1967, slipped away, excitement gathered in the air. We had decided to end the year at the beach. Leaving our seat on the warm sand, still holding each other’s hand, we splashed in the water’s edge on our way to Santa Monica Pier. Ice cream cones now in hand, we enjoyed their sweetness as we navigated the crowded wharf wanting to revel in the openness of sun and sea. Enticed by the smell of fresh popcorn, cones finished, we munched the salty snack lingering at the furthest point. As darkness fell, warm arms encircled me in a tender embrace. Fireworks exploded before my eyes and within my heart, skyrocketing our new love along with them.

There are a lot of great charities on the scene today and one appreciates the efforts of each of them I do not want to say one is better than another. I just want to express a little extra gratitude for one called Soldiers Best Friend. . In 2011 a local veterinarian, John Burnham, saw that some of his clients were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). . Working with animals every day and reading about research on animal-assisted therapies, he realized that psychiatric service dogs could help quell the veterans’ intense anxiety, panic or fear of crowded spaces. “It made perfect sense,” says Burnham, who owns three dogs and understands firsthand the bond between dogs and humans. “I knew the effect would be very positive.” Imbued with a sense of patriotism instilled by his father, who served in the Navy during World War II, Burnham launched Soldier’s Best Friend. This non profit, S.B.F., pairs vets who have PTSD/ TBI with dogs from local shelters or, sometimes, trains a dog the veteran already owns.So far they have rescued 130 homeless dogs and successfully paired them with a veteran. So far they have graduated 248 teams through their training program. Now that is worth celebrating! Perhaps you are aware of a returning vet that may qualify for this tremendous gift. Naturally, there are guide lines for qualifying for the program. Vets have to make application. Also, there is no cost to the vet, other than the time he/she has to put into the training with the dog... This program is expensive and totally run by donations. They have a facility at 14505 N 75 Avenue in Peoria. I visited it years ago to check it out, so to speak. They have expanded due to the generosity of donors and now have an adjoining piece of property to do inside and outside training. Blanche Lukes Moon Valley Block Watch email: moonvalleybw@cox.net

Traditions M O O N VA L L E Y M AG I C BY D E B B I E E R B S T O E S S E R There are many traditions around the world and celebrated in homes. My favorite family tradition is Special Plate. We took turns getting it every Sunday night and saying one nice thing, one at a time about the person at the dinner table. It was the perfect opportunity to remember a loved one in a sweet way, making sure they knew that they were special to us. I learned about Special Plate at a Bible Study when my boys were little. I shared the idea with my husband and then went to ‘As you Wish’ to paint a plate. When we aren’t using it, it hangs on the wall. The idea is to say one nice thing about the family member that makes them special. Frequently a certain husband wants to say everything special about the person and not give anyone else something to say! Sometimes young children are too self-centered to think of someone else, so this is a good teaching tool. Taking turns is another difficult thing for kids to do. We all must speak one at a time, to be heard and understood. We had to wait five weeks before it was our turn to be ‘special’ again too. I remember when one son in particular had an especially hard time with this concept. When it wasn’t his turn he’d pout, but when he was his turn he’d glow. We have many traditions I love, like crowning the Christmas tree that I wrote about last year, but Special Plate a non-holiday/religious one that I hope our boys pass on when they start a family, because saying something kind makes you feel loved and too often we forget to tell those we are closest to how much they mean to us.
Adopt Nutmeg & Add some "Spice" to your new year AHS ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT
With a smile that goes ear to ear, it is no wonder why Nutmeg brightens up any room (or play yard) she walks into. The two-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix can be a little shy at first but perks right up after a few pets and tasty treats are thrown her way. Almost as cute as Nutmeg’s huge smile are her humongous tail wags. Once she warms up, there is no stopping her motor boat of a tail. This sweet girl is smiling just thinking about her future forever home, imagine how big her smile will be once she finds it! Meet the precious Nutmeg at the Arizona Humane Society’s Sunnyslope Campus located at 9226 N. 13th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85021. Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, vaccines, microchip and a free follow-up vet exam with VCA Animal Hospitals. For those interested in learning more about Nutmeg, visit azhumane.org/adopt.

Snow ANgels
BY ROSEANNE
(Continued)
“JUSTIN…. HEADS UP!” When Justin heard his Dad’s warning he looked over his shoulder. He saw Shannon and tried to run out of her way, but tripped to his knees in the snow. Shannon was practically on top of Justin before she saw him. There was no time to stop or swerve around. She pulled up on her tube, hoping to lift off a small rise in the snow, the way she had so many times that morning. Only this time she had to go higher and farther. If she failed it would be disastrous. The wind blew through her hair. Justin closed his eyes. Time stood still. * * * * * ** The Angel Hannah’s task was an easy one. Justin still had the innocent expectation of rescue, never having faced danger alone. Someone, mostly his parents, was always nearby to pro-tect him. When Hannah knocked him to the ground, he stayed put, waiting for her to cover him with the protective pillow of her presence. As for the Angel Zeke, Shannon was old enough to have some say in the matter; use her own free will, accept or refuse the help he was prepared to offer. “ Come on, my girl, allow your faith to call me to you.” Zeke, saw his opening as Shan-non began her jump, immediately he put himself between tube and snow and lifted Shannon and the tube high in the air, before depositing her smoothly on the hill to continue her run.. * * * * * * * “Wow!” a young boy exclaimed. “Woo Hoo!” another shouted. “Did you see that?” a mother said to her daughter. “That kid must have been five feet in the air,” Justin heard someone remark when he opened his eyes. Shannon and Ryan rode the rest of the way down next to each other, the race now unim-portant. “Where’d the little boy go?” she asked rolling over to sit in the center of the tube after sliding to a stop. “He’s behind us,” Ryan answered doing the same. “Man, Sis, you cleared him by about three feet. How did you do that?” “I haven’t a clue. Except…know how Gram always says ‘Do your best and the angels will do the rest’.”
You may remember from December’s Tattler, five year old Justin was midway up the hill, getting ready to snow tube for the first time, standing smack in the way of one of the racing twins headed down from near the top. All of this taking place under the watchful gazes of two guardian angels. “Yeah.” “Well, I heard those words in my head just as I pulled up on the tube. The next thing I know, I’m sliding back on the snow, with no one in my way.” Shannon stuck her tongue out to catch a snowflake. If she tried all day she’d never be able to do it again. She watched Justin come floating down, followed by his Dad who slid into him from behind tipping them both over in laughter. It tickled her heart. “Come on” she said to Ryan, getting to her feet “that was interference.” Tube tucked under her arm, Shannon started up the hill calling, “Do-over.”
The End

Moon Valley Resident and Area Specialist
BY JULIE PEK Happy New Year! At the recent Moon Valley Residential Home tour, we learned some exciting home buying news that we wanted to share with you. New loan limits were just announced. Here’s the low-down: On a single-family home, the Conventional loan limit has been raised to $484,350. With just 5% down, that means a purchase power of $509,842. FHA loans raised the limit to $314,827, allowing for a purchase price of $326,245 with 3.5% down. VA loans will be following suit in the coming year.

GenerationZ Cars - tesla model 3 B Y J O H A N S W A R T, C O R N E L S W A R T & J A N S W A R T “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” was originally titled “The Story of the Three Bears” and the story evolved over time so that three versions became known over time. The first is about a badly-behaved old woman who entered the forest home of three bachelor bears whilst they were away. She made herself at home and tasted their porridge. Afterwards, she tested their beds and selected a bed in which she slept. When the bears returned, they discovered her and she ran away. The second version of the story replaced the old woman with a little girl named Goldilocks. The third and more well-known version replaced the original bachelor bear trio with a Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear. Those who know the story will remember that when Goldilocks tested the bear porridge, she concluded that the Baby Bear’s porridge was not too hot and not too cold, but just right. And this brings us to the Tesla Model 3 Baby Bear. Thanks to Mr. Hart from Moon Valley, we had the chance to review a Tesla Model 3. This car took the world by storm – an overnight sensation so to speak. When Tesla declared that they would bring an inexpensive version of the Model S to the market, people immediately flocked to the stores to place a $1000 deposit and order their very own. The car starts at $35,000, which is quite reasonable, considering how well everything is crafted in the interior. However, clicking the option boxes, the $35,000 quickly become a distant memory. To write about this car will take up all the pages of this newspaper – here are the highlights in a nutshell. There are two keys for this car, a credit card style key and your smart phone. Now the cooler key is obviously your smartphone phone (very GenZ) as you can do some pretty cool party tricks, such as drive your car out of your garage using the phone, setting interior temperatures and much more. Tesla wanted to preserve the beauty of the interior, so they got rid of pretty much every switch and ventilation vent hole. There are no traditional ventilation vents, instead there is one thin vent that follows the dashboard from side to side – it is powerful and its air direction is an engineering marvel. The seats are very comfy to sit in, everything feels very solid, and sophisticated to the touch (excellent quality). The rear leg-room is generous and the
glass panel that covers the roof is “revealing”. It also provides good protection from the sun. A 6’4” person should be wary as the glass provides no padding and speed bumps may cause a “head-ache” crashing your head against the glass roof. The cargo capacity is excellent and the Tesla Model 3 has two trunks! One in the front and the traditional rear trunk. The rear compartment has a secret level beneath the trunk to keep valuables out of sight. The car will automatically open your garage door and close it. The car AC system can be set to prevent your car from becoming too hot or too cold in the parking lot and charging the car is as easy as turning a page in a book. The infotainment screen is huge and smooth, but it is smaller compared to its older siblings - the internet is free as well. The infotainment system also has some interesting quirks. For example, you can play Atari games on the screen, which is super cool and you can change your car into a Santa’s sleigh and when you do that, the cars around you turn into reindeer or presents. Make no mistake though, just because it’s the little sibling, doesn’t mean it’s no fun. The Standard version is very quick – less than 5 seconds to 60mph. One option available to purchase is the dual motor AWD system which allows the car to accelerate from 0-60 in a whopping 3.3 seconds. This is absolutely insane for a sedan in this price range. The “auto-pilot” feature from Tesla is amazing and practical – it requires a whole page to describe, but a must-have feature. We were impressed by its functionality and ability drive the car and pass vehicles. The car has the ability to avoid accidents by itself, although I hope drivers will not rely on this too much. The car looks stunning from the inside and outside. When this car was first announced we were not very sure about it, but after spending a bit of time with this car, we have had a change of heart. This car looks cool, is insanely fast, has a high quality interior, is solidly built, will last forever, consumes no fuel, and requires no maintenance. The Tesla Model 3 seems to fit dads’ manly persona, as well as soccer moms’ persona – perhaps it is just right, like Baby Bears porridge … expect to see many Tesla Model 3’s driving around!
