This month we are excited to feature two great businesses in the magazine, Granite Transformations and The Plumber Guy. Both are amazing to work with, and will do it right the first time.

FAMILY FUN

AMAZE THE GRANDKIDS WITH A LITTLE SCIENCE Captivate the youngsters with these hands-on projects

Amaze your preschoolers and young school-age grandkids with the exciting world of science and these three simple science tricks. They are safe and fun to do at home when you’re looking for something new to share together.

Dry Hankie Trick Stuff a piece of facial tissue or a hankie into the bottom of a tall plastic cup. Turn the cup upside-down and submerge it directly into a sink, bathtub or backyard wading pool filled with water. Push the cup all the way to the bottom of the sink, tub or pool, and bring it straight up and out of the water. Pull the tissue or hankie out. It will be dry! (Remember, the key to success is to keep the cup perfectly straight when plunging into the water and pulling it out again.)

Shiny Pennies Your audience will be amazed to see a dingy penny or copper pot transformed magically into a shiny object,

ACRYLIC DECKING of

while you get a few of your neglected copper pieces sparkling at the same time. Mix together 1/2 cup of vinegar and 5 tablespoons of salt in a bowl. Drop tarnished pennies or small copper objects in the bowl, and stir them around. Watch as they change color. Eventually remove objects with a slotted spoon and place on a towel to dry. Buff with a soft cloth.

Magical Gloopy Glop Here’s a bit of magic your grandkids won’t want to miss.

This slithery goop appears to be solid one moment when you shape it like a ball in the palms of your hands only to ooze out between your fingers, over your wrist and down your arm seconds later. Add food coloring for extra effect. After you make the concoction, play with it and then come up with words to describe it!

Here’s the simple recipe for this sensory activity. Measure 1 1/2 cups cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Add about 1 cup water and stir to form a thick paste.

Add more water if it’s too thick. Now, roll the goop in your hand to form a ball. As you hold it tightly, it behaves like a solid. Squeeze it, and then let it drip through your fingers to discover its unique properties as it flows into the bowl in ribbons. Or, place it on a cookie sheet, press it flat and then roll it in a ball. It’s amazing!

Time for a new roof?

Arizona’s hot summers and monsoons can cause major damage to your roofs exterior and underlayment. Don’t wait until you have a leak, call Sun City Roofing to inspect your homes roof today! Winter residents should have their roof checked to help prevent costly repairs.

Tired of cracks in your cement or decking and the black marks on your driveway?

ACRYLIC DECKING of ARIZONA

It was 20th-century American pediatrician and author Benjamin Spock who made the following sage observation: “All the time a person is a child, he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.”

You might be surprised to learn that an early version of scuba diving took place as early as the 1770s. A man named Andrew Becker wore his leather-covered diving suit during an hour-long immersion in a London stretch of the River Thames. He even had a window in his helmet— though there’s no report on what, if anything, he saw in the notoriously murky waters.

Those who study such things say that the average American man shaves at least 20,000 times in his life. If you add up all that time spent shaving, by the time he reaches the age of 75 a man has spent more than 37 days with a razor in his hand.

AGE WITH OPTIMISM

BE HAPPY

Apparently your mindset matters

As Americans age, one element seems to be key for their mental and physical health: optimism.

That’s the finding suggested by a new Humana survey, which asked Americans age 60 and over how they perceive the importance of various wellness traits.

Although the survey uncovered many perspectives, the findings about optimism suggest a possible link between a “glass half full” mentality and mental and physical health: • Older Americans who rated themselves as very optimistic about aging tended to be the most active physically, socially and in their communities.

• They also reported a much lower number of physically unhealthy days per month on average: 2.84 for the most optimistic, compared to 12.55 physically unhealthy days for the least optimistic.

• The most optimistic also felt on average 12 years younger than their actual age (those who are least optimistic felt on average 7 years older than their actual age).

The survey also asked respondents to rate how they feel about the depiction of people age 60 and over in pop culture: in film, television, commercials and so on.

Overwhelmingly, the respondents perceived these media portrayals of their own demographic as inaccurate, rating the accuracy level as, on average, 5 or less on a 10-point scale. Those aging Americans who do feel that media accurately portrays them think about aging more than the average and have a higher level of fear about aging than their peers.

BE PREPARED

HEALTH CARE

There’s new help for evaluating hospice options

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services already have tools to help seniors make informed decisions about health care: Physician Compare, Hospital Compare, Home Health Compare and Nursing Home Compare.

Now it’s taken the next step with Hospice Compare.

The website www.medicare.gov/hospicecompare just recently launched online. Right from the front page, it’s helpful: You can search for a hospice agency by

NEW YORK CITY

name, or you can see what’s available in your area by putting in your ZIP code. The next page will give you a list of choices. You can choose up to three facilities to compare.

Once you’ve scouted the various facilities, go back to the front page of the website and click on “Here are some good things to know about hospice care.” Read as much as you can about Medicare and hospice services and what is required in each one.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE

Practical tips for making the most of your life

Brighten Your Home

DAY & NIGHT

So often we slide through life without a plan, then wonder why we didn’t achieve our desires. Here are some tips for ways to stop sliding and start thriving.

1. Eat clean and eat often. The cleaner you eat, the better you’re going to feel…and never, ever skip meals.

2. Stay hydrated!

3. Sleep 7-8 hours every night. Our body does most of its recovery during sleep. The shorter you sleep, the less recovery you’ll get, and the worse you’re going to feel.

4. Move your body. Lift weights, run, dance, hike... whatever works for you to stay active.

5. Don’t dwell on the past. Learn from it, let it go and move on.

6. Set goals. Make sure they’re measurable and that you check-in periodically to evaluate if your progress is on track. Goals create direction, motivation and purpose.

7. Be thankful.

Be humble.

8. Discover your passion. Do what you love as often as you can.

9. Surround yourself with awesome people. People you love make you feel good and they support your dreams.

10. Express your love to the important people in your life as often as possible. Not only will this make them feel good, but it makes you feel great!

11. Play. Spend time laughing and doing silly things with your spouse, children or friends.

12. Express yourself. There’s only one you. Own it, love it and let yourself shine!

13. Help others.

14. Celebrate. Recognize the little moments as well as the big—that way you won’t miss a thing.

15. Value your time. If something doesn’t bring anything positive to your life, it doesn’t deserve your time.

16. No more negative self-talk. The more time you spend in the negative, the worse it gets, and the longer it takes to climb out of that spiral.

17. Relax and recharge. Take vacations and don’t work too much. At the end of this life you’ll never say, “I wish I had spent more time at the office.”

18. Keep fit. Eat well, exercise and find balance in your life.

19. Believe in yourself! Life is not a dress rehearsal.

TAKE YOUR MEDS SERIOUSLY Our nation has a serious addiction problem

Lest there be any doubt that we’re in the midst of an opioid abuse crisis, we now have a month that has been declared “Drug-Free Pain Management Awareness Month.” (It’s September for those who are curious.)

Lost in the headlines over the sheer number of deaths from overdoses of the drugs—more than 90 Americans each day—is how all too many patients’ downward spiral began with what must have seemed like a routine initial doctor’s prescription for painkillers like OxyContin.

The designation comes from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and makes perfect sense. Many health experts have long backed a “chiropractic-first” approach—arguing that it was an effective, safer way of addressing many patients’ spine and joint-related pain.

Still others got on board after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year finally began urging physicians to use alternatives to opioids and the American College of Physicians recommended spinal manipulation.

Next September you can expect to see a series of nationwide events— open to the public, state legislators, and healthcare professionals—that will highlight the value of chiropractic for seniors, athletes, pregnant women, military veterans, and other pain sufferers. For more information, visit www.drugfreepaincare.org.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

HIT THE ROAD

TRAVEL

Adventures awaits those ready to roll

“Road trip!” To some of you those enthusiastically exclaimed words bring back lots of memories. To others, going on a road trip is still on the to-do list.

If the idea sounds appealing, here are some helpful thoughts to get you dreaming.

Start by thinking about your vehicle. You can rent a comfy SUV with luxury seats and stereo, and then spend nights in motels. You won’t be putting the mileage on your own vehicle, and if the SUV breaks down, a replacement is only a phone call away.

A rental also gives you the option of a one-way trip: You can leave the vehicle at an airport and fly home.

the vehicle and take a local bus or subway. Learn the different types of RV parks and what they provide.

See if it’s worth it to join the Kampgrounds of America (koa.com) for its reduced rates. Some resorts offer RV parking.

Don’t forget your AARP card for discounts. Consult AAA for trip planning. Review your medications and be sure to take enough. (Take extra just in case.)

And most importantly of all: Bring your camera!

Thinking of Joining a Golf Club?

How about lodging?

You can pull a camper and spend time in a campground. Or you can rent and drive an RV and have your amenities right there with you.

(Hint, if you opt for an RV, get it in advance and learn to drive it, hook it up and empty the tanks. Consider doing a weekend dry run to a local spot before your actual trip.)

Do your planning.

Research highlights along the way and decide if you want to stop at every single museum or just cruise right by them. Check restaurants and see what you should expect for pricing. Consider stopping to see friends.

Join Us For Some Fun in The Sun at Westbrook Village GC. Looking for friends, camaraderie, fun, great golf and more?

Westbrook is the place for you!

Come see and experience why our members truly love Westbrook Village Golf Club!

You will want to be part of it too!

If you have a big vehicle and plan to visit large cities, investigate where you can leave FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

Bring this ad to the Lakes Course Club House to discuss membership options and we will offer you a FREE ROUND OF GOLF! (Tee times subject to availability.)

THE GRAND SEASON • OCTOBER 2017

Want to cool down your body temperature? Run your wrist under cold water for at least five minutes. It will cool your blood down.

Need to get a sticker off a glass product?

Spray it with a liquid that contains alcohol, like perfume. The alcohol eats at the glue adhesive allowing for easy removal.

Try applying your deodorant at night instead of in the morning. It will be more effective and you’ll sweat less the next day.

Has your champagne lost its bubbliness? Drop a raisin in and watch the bubbles magically return!

Close to your neighbors?

Share your wi-fi and split the cost.

Use newspaper for a streak-free shine on windows.

If you ask a pickle vendor at Disneyland how their day is, they’ll give you a pickle.
