FROM THE EDITOR November is full of reminders to count our blessings, and opportunities to reconnect with loved ones. It’s also the time of year we celebrate Veteran’s Day—a time to honor those who have served or are serving in the military. If you’re a veteran, we want to thank you for your commitment to protecting our freedom.

Recently, our country has been impacted by many senseless acts of violence. As a parent of two young men, I try to remind them to stay grateful, since we never know what tomorrow will bring.

This month I want to encourage you to share kindness with those you encounter. And don’t wait to tell your family, friends and neighbors how much you love and appreciate them. Tell them today!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season magazine and our local advertisers.

We wish you a month filled with gratitude and thanksgiving!

DOING GOOD IS GOOD FOR YOU

Get volunteering and get numerous benefits!

There are two things that active adults have in spades these days: time and knowledge. And both make them the perfect match for volunteering. By giving back as little as two hours a week, or about 96 hours a year, older adults are discovering how to keep their lives active and healthy.

Research shows that seniors who volunteer can combat depression, stave off chronic pain, and boost brain power.

In short, volunteering can promote longevity.

Still need another reason to get out there and volunteer? With the number of volunteers age 65 and older expected to double in a few years, chances are you’ll reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

“Volunteering gave me a reason to get up in the morning and stimulated my brain as I learned about topics and issues that were completely unfamiliar to me,” says one volunteer.

To help educate older adults about the benefits of volunteering, the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) launched a public education campaign to raise awareness of the issue and to prompt older adults to take action. The “Doing Good Is Good for You: Volunteer!” brochure is the centerpiece of the campaign.

This brochure provides you with a self-assessment checklist that can help you evaluate the range of issues and activities that you may find most interesting in a volunteer setting.

One prospective volunteer who completed a checklist of his interests was a lifelong musician. He checked “arts and culture” as a favorite and said he loved teaching others. When the local volunteer coordinator signed him up, she had no idea that his instrument of choice was a ukulele. Two years later, his lessons have become so popular, he’s teaching in two senior centers to packed classes.

The point is, there’s a volunteer opportunity for everyone, and it can be found with the simple click of a mouse.

For more information on volunteering, and to download your free copy of the brochure and other resources, visit www.n4a.org and find the “Volunteer Resource Center” under n4a Initiatives.

Now on DVD/Blu-Ray!

Baby Driver (R) This love story/crime story, has a sweet soundtrack. Baby (Ansel Elgort) drives the getaway car for Doc (Kevin Spacey), but not necessarily by choice. When he falls for angelic waitress Deborah (Lily James), things take a screeching turn, and nothing will ever be the same. The characters are memorable and the music integration makes it a refreshingly fun ride!

The House (R) Scott and Kate Johansen (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) get ready to send their daughter off to college, and discover that they have no money. Their neighbor comes up with a cockamamie scheme to turn the Johansens’ house into an under-the-radar casino to earn the money quickly. Things happen. Some are funny but it overall feels like a series of weak skits that never pays off with a jackpot.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS! Dr. Lee Sorcinelli is a Marquette graduate.

He graduated from ASU with a Bachelors degree in Microbiology. He has been a Dentist for 25 years. He was a Dental Technician for 5 years prior to becoming a Dentist. He has fellowship status in Cosmetic Dentistry from the Las Vegas Institute. He also has fellowship status in Implants from the International Congress of Implantologists.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 Use Lego people to hold your charging cables when not in use. Their hands are the perfect size to hold cords, and you can stick the figures to a small Lego base that’s secured to whatever is convenient—a table edge, your night stand or even the wall itself—with some double-faced tape.

TIP 2 Are your new shoes too tight? Wear a pair of thick socks, and slip your shoes on. Run a hair dryer over the areas where it’s too tight, and the heat will help those spots expand.

Test in an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure that the fabric can take the heat.

TIP 3 Did your phone get wet?

Try this amazing rice trick before giving up on your device. Power it down if possible and remove the protective cover, then fill a zipper-top plastic baggie with plain uncooked rice.

Insert your phone and seal the bag, making sure all parts of the phone are surrounded by the rice.

Let it sit for 12 hours so the rice can draw the moisture from your device.

Then, fingers crossed, try to power up.

In a recent survey of pet owners, 43 percent of respondents said they’d be eating healthier themselves if they ate the same thing they feed their pets.

Believe it or not, those who study such things say that there is enough phosphorus in your body to make about 250 matches.

Bayreuth Festspielhaus is an opera house in Germany dedicated to the performance of works

by Richard Wagner. The 19th-century German composer himself chose and adapted the design, including the rather uncomfortable seats. It’s reported that Wagner intentionally chose exceptionally hard wooden seats to prevent the audience from treating his operas as fun.

OF THE BRAVE HOME Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

“We must remember that many who served in our military never lived to be called veterans. We must remember many had their lives changed forever by experiences or the injuries of combat. All veterans are examples of service and citizenship for every American to remember and to follow.”

—President George W. Bush

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”

—Elmer Davis

“Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.”

—Bill Shuster

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. “

—Joseph Campbell

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.”

—Jeff Miller

“Courage is contagious.

When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”

“Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

—Winston Churchill

– Billy Graham

The Eleventh Hour Lest We Forget At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day Of the eleventh month We stand for two minutes of silence To honour our fallen, our daughters and sons.

They went off to war, to places unknown They knew not what they’d face They knew not if they’d return But they went bravely, to keep our home safe.

Please bow your head for two minutes For those men and women so brave It’s only two minutes for them on this day But it’s their whole lives for us that they gave.

“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms.

It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.”

—G.K. Chesterton

—John F. Kennedy

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

An estimated 10,000 disabled veterans are expected to benefit from the $8 million in grants that the Department of Veterans Affairs will award to sports programs for 2018. Groups in all 50 states will get a cut of the money to use in planning, managing and implementing their programs. These programs range from city and regional sports, community groups, and parks and rec to sports clinics, wheelchair games and golf tournaments...even preparation for Paralympic competition.

Interested in participating? For one thing, it’s a lot of fun, and you’ll meet others with the same challenges, goals and determination. If you think you’re not quite up to it yet, talk to your clinical team about what you can do to get ready to participate in adaptive programs. To learn more, go online to www.va.gov/ adaptivesports. If you’ll be training at the Paralympic level, there is a monthly stipend to help with expenses, if you qualify. Check the website for details.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Connect with those you love as you give thanks this season

The holidays are a reminder to take inventory of all the blessings we have in our lives. Making gratitude a habit can have positive benefits to your own happiness, as well as those around you, by stimulating your sense of purpose and helping you forge stronger, more rewarding bonds in your relationships.

During this busy holiday season of celebration, try some of these thanksbased ideas with your family.

Amazing grace The dinner table is a great place to reflect and reinforce our feelings of gratitude. Before you eat, go around in a cricle and give a group-wide grace.

Starting at one end of the table, ask everyone to pray a word of thanks to God for at least one encouraging event or one special person that they’re thankful to have in their life.

Focus on what you have Write down three positive things you’re grateful for every night before you go to bed. Research shows that gratitude journaling can put you in a dramatically better mood and even prolong that feeling for weeks and months the more you practice. Gratitude opens up your brain to attract positivity like bees to honey.

The write stuff Think of someone in your life who has made a significant positive impact and write a letter expressing how much that person means to you.

If possible, meet this person face-toface and read the letter aloud. Notice the person’s reaction and savor those moments to recall in the future.

Thankful awareness Try a new experience with the family and look for teachable moments, such as volunteering at a food bank or handing out gifts at a children’s hospital. Sometimes the best way to appreciate all of the good in our own world is to become more aware of those who are suffering.

Gratitude in the face of adversity can help us weather the storms, provide a greater perspective to the plight of others and strengthen our social bonds.

Five great tips to make the most of your cruise experience

When it comes to a dream cruise, everyone has their own idea of the ideal vacation. The beautiful ocean waves breaking against the bow beneath you, the warm breeze blowing against your hair and the lure of new, unexplored destinations off in the distance. If you’re feeling the call to cruise, consider these tips as you plan your unforgettable trip.

Look for the best deal If you could enjoy the same amazing cruise at a fraction of the price, why wouldn’t you? Deals are not hard to come by in the cruise industry and the key is to book early. Do your research, look for package offers and book your trip as soon as you can.

Pick the right cruise line Your dream cruise rests on the right ship, so don’t leave this choice to chance. MSC Seaside is a sunlover’s paradise with plenty of outdoor space to take “Advocates for YOUR Home Improvement”

SERVING THE VALLEY SINCE 1974!

in the Caribbean sunshine and stunning views, thanks to its unique outdoor, ocean level promenade.

Pack smart and know what’s included Your cruise line is your home away from home for the duration of your trip, but that doesn’t mean you have to bring home with you. Many of your daily needs will be provided by the cruise line itself.

Plan activities for the whole family While the cruise itself is enjoyable, it’s the activities you take part in while on the ship that truly make your vacation remarkable.

Look for a cruise that offers activities your entire family will enjoy.

Arrive early Weeks and months of planning using the tips above could be all for naught if you don’t heed this last piece of advice. After all, flights can be delayed or cars can break down. To plan for just such a thing, give yourself a little extra time in your schedule to ensure that when the ship leaves, you and your crew are on it, regardless of what happened on the road to get there.

To get started on planning your cruise, visit www.msccruises.com.

Five hot trends for enhancing home safety and convenience

Home safety is one of the top priorities of homeowners and renters alike. Check out some of the latest trends in home security technology to make your beloved abode truly home safe home.

Home automation and controls means having the ability to control items around the house—from window shades to pet feeders—with a simple push of a button or voice command. Homeowners now have the ability to make sure they locked the back door or turned off the lights. This trend is taking a security system and turning it into a smart home device, and consumers are loving it.

Solatube daylighting system Solatube daylighting systems have gotten even more innovative. They harvest sunlight on the roof and shoot it down a tube of the most highly reflective material made and into the home environment.

Video monitoring Having a good indoor security camera is now the cornerstone of any good home security system. This allows homeowners to watch live video footage of their home from their smartphone anytime, anywhere. It also takes the stress away when leaving pets at home for any amount of time. Owners can monitor and speak to their animals while they are away. This trend is convenient, offers peace of mind and may deter burglars.

Geofencing Geofencing is like having an invisible fence as a virtual perimeter. With it, homeowners can draw around any location on a map and trigger actions from their smartphone when they enter that location through an app, such as an electronic notification being sent to parents’ cell phones when their child arrives home from school, triggered by the child’s phone.

Home automation with GPS Home automation with GPS offers more convenience than safety for homeowners. Home automation uses GPS in smartphones to trigger assigned actions, such as deactivating the home alarm and turning on the front door lights when the home owner pulls into the driveway.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

SAFETY

Phone management means safer driving for us all

Mobile phones have become an essential part of life for most people, helping them stay connected and increase productivity. This technology, however, can also be a distraction when driving, which puts everyone on the road at risk.

Distracted driving isn’t just an issue for young adults. Pervasive technology use means this is a multi-generational problem. For professionals in particular, the expectation to stay productive and reachable means a constant temptation to use cellphones when driving.

In January 2017, the NSC reported that Cargill was the largest privately held company to prohibit the use of mobile devices. Chairman and CEO David MacLennan just marked the one-year anniversary of following the policy. If he can do it, you can do it. With that in mind, here are five simple steps to make the roads safer for everyone.

THE GRAND SEASON • NOVEMBER 2017

1. Auto response Use a free automated response app to let callers know that you’re driving and can’t take the call. You can personalize the response so incoming calls or texts receive a text message saying you’re on the road.

2. DND If you’re driving a vehicle outfitted with communication technology, use its “do not disturb” feature to unplug from calls and texts while behind the wheel.

3. Block drive times Just as you schedule meetings, use shared calendars to block times you’ll be driving. This alerts anyone else connected to your calendar when you’ll be out of touch.

4. Out of sight, out of mind A study by AT&T found that 62 percent of drivers keep their phones within reach in the car.

Put yours where you can’t see or reach it, such as in the back seat, trunk or glove box.

5. Pull over If you must take a call while on the road, let it go to voicemail and pull over in a safe location to return the call. Plan “cellphone stops” along your route if needed.

The song was ignored until it was re-released in 1962, when it climbed the charts. Suddenly everyone wanted to cover it.

PAWS CORNER

SUPPORT ANIMALS ARE NOT SERVICE ANIMALS

Q: How do I register my older cats as support animals? Do I have to register with the state?

A: There is no requirement to register any pet as a support animal, and there is no “official” registry for support and therapy pets. Do not get sucked into paying money to any online “registry” that says you have to do it. You should, however, have something that identifies your cats as support animals, so that you can travel with them and keep them in otherwise pet-free apartments. The most accepted document is a letter from a doctor or therapist stating that you need a support animal. Most airlines will accept this document, as do most landlords or apartment managers. The letter does not need to specify the condition for which you need support. Please note: Support and therapy pets are NOT service animals. They do not fall under ADA rules, so stores, restaurants and airlines do NOT have to let them inside or on board.

TRAVELING SMARTER

KEEP CALM

Simple strategies for when flying gets frustrating

Decades ago, taking a flight was truly a privilege. People looked forward to comfy seats, cold drinks and friendly service. Today? Not so much. With cramped seating and impossibly long security lines, flying is the unpleasant grunt work of travel—something you endure to make it to the better thing. But travel pros know the best ways to soothe their nerves in the face of even the most aggravating situations.

Here are some smart strategies to help you cool your jets when dealing with travel annoyances.

Noisy passengers Whether the toddler in row 15 is throwing a fit, or your neighbor continually wants to strike up a conversation, few things are more annoying than noisy passengers. A pair of noise-canceling headphones is a worthy investment. While dampening the surrounding noise, headphones can help you focus on work, watch a movie or even fall asleep.

Seat kickers Many parents have been on both sides of the “seatkicking” issue. No one wants to feel their chair kicked, but it’s harder to prevent than a lot of non-parents think.

The key to staying calm, is dealing with the situation early and politely. Turn around with a smile and ask the child’s parent if they could help their child to not bump the seat in front of them. Finally, be patient. The parents want a peaceful flight just as much as you do.

Flight delays There’s no need to get worked up when you get the bad news that your flight will be late due to maintenance issues. Instead of getting frustrated, use the extra time to treat yourself. Grab a favorite beverage or head to one of those chair massages in the concourse.

Terrible wi-fi service Besides being charged a bundle just for internet access, passengers are often disappointed by what they get: dropped service and the inability to use the wi-fi for things they really want, like streaming music and movies.

Preparation is key to staying calm, so before the plane takes off, keep your device stocked with movies, albums and books. One day soon, that won’t be necessary, but for now, planning will make things easier.

SAVOR MEMORIES

TRADITIONS

Remember those things that count!

Brighten Your Home

DAY & NIGHT

Thanksgiving is a chance for families to gather together, to feast and to enjoy being with one another. But the day can also be a meaningful time to reflect on our blessings and remember those who have impacted our lives. Many families have special traditions they use to show gratitude to their friends, family and faith. Here are a few we received from our Grand Seasons family when we asked readers to share a cherished tradition that has helped their family experience real gratitude amidst the food and fellowship of the holiday.

Breakfast Club “For our family, Thanksgiving Day begins early, with our family gathered around a card table in the living room to share a special, once-a-year breakfast. Between bites of poppy seed cake and sips of eggnog, we record the year’s blessings on notebook paper: landing a new job, reconnecting with old friends, finding a great sale on kids’ shoes, earning an A in Spanish. No item is too small for the list.”

Tree of Thanks “In my family sentiments are usually kept to one’s self, so I knew my siblings and their spouses wouldn’t be comfortable participating in traditions where vocal expressions of gratitude were required. So, I pulled out a craft project I had done with my kids. I made a tree from brown construction paper and taped it to the wall. Then I made leaves out of red, yellow and orange paper. I handed out the leaves to my family, asking them to write something they were thankful for on each leaf. I told them they didn’t need to put their name on the leaves. The kids were enthusiastic. While the adults were reluctant at first, once they read the leaves, they all wrote down at least one thankful thought. I was surprised to see some leaves with detailed, heartfelt lists, and a few relatives filled more than one leaf!”

Tablecloth of Memories “One year, I brought a tablecloth and a package of fabric pens. I asked our family and guests to write something on the tablecloth they were thankful for. Everyone took turns writing short notes on the cloth, and we continue the tradition every year. When Thanksgiving Day arrives, our guests smile and laugh as they read through the memories, while the children search to find their handprints, thrilled to see how much they’ve grown.”

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.”

2. Give experiences, not stuff Instead of shopping for stuff, give your loved ones the gift of your time by creating experiences you can enjoy together.

MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY

Get in the spirit without losing your mind

3. Be authentic Host holiday events that resonate. Don’t kill yourself to create events that will impress others. Create opportunities to connect with others.

The holidays can be filled with stress and joy, bundled into one emotionally charged season. Rodrigo Araujo, Ph.D., senior data scientist at Plasticity Labs, analyzed workplace stress and seasonality. He identified fall (October to December, including the winter holidays) as the unhappiest time of the year for people.

4. Say no It’s tough to turn down invites from friends and colleagues, however, stress stems from being overextended. Saying “no” will help you prioritize your time and your mind.

One of the biggest impacts on our stress (and happiness) is an increasingly busy and ever-fluctuating schedule. This causes an out-of-control feeling that can make our brains uncomfortable.

5. Save a vacation day Take a day off just for you before the chaos of holidays begin. You might be surprised how this one day can enhance your mental health as you celebrate with your friends and family.

The best way to combat this seasonal stress is to practice an attitude of gratitude. Here are some ways to keep your schedule from stressing you out.

6. Volunteer Schedule a time for your family and friends to help those who are less fortunate. You might volunteer at a soup kitchen, or perhaps give a family in need a holiday they’ll never forget.

MONEY

REVERSE MORTGAGES BENEFIT YOUNGER SENIORS Know the advantages

Homeowners who are 62 (the youngest eligible age for a reverse mortgage) have an advantage over older seniors when it comes to getting a reverse mortgage— more time to grow their line of credit!

A reverse mortgage line of credit is an adjustable rate loan option that allows you to draw money as needed. The product is similar to a home equity line of credit; however, the key differences are that no monthly mortgage payments are required and the available funds increase over time. You are still responsible for paying your homeowners insurance, property taxes, and home maintenance costs.

Younger seniors have such an advantage with the reverse mortgage line of credit because the earlier you start it, the more time you allow the available amount to increase. The available amount in your line increases by the “growth rate,” which is your interest rate plus your

mortgage insurance premium. The growth occurs yearly and compounds over time. Given a sufficient time, the available amount could even exceed the value of your home.

You are not required to draw any funds at the time you start the line of credit, and you can draw from the line at any time while the available amount continues to increase. If you need to draw money for an emergency, such as home repairs or medical bills, any amount that is left over in the line of credit will still grow.

Another benefit is that the growth will not be affected by housing market values. That means that even if the value of your home declines, the line will continue to increase. And because the reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, you will never owe more than your home is worth.

Making an informed decision is most important. The licensed specialists at One Reverse Mortgage can provide more information, talk to you about your specific financial goals, and help you determine if a reverse mortgage is right for you. So call (888) 980-4839 today to get started or visit www.onereversemortgage.com/ns to get a free information kit.

FAMILY

Schedule a mock cooking class If you want to get family members involved, make time on a weekend for a prepping and cooking session, where everyone can share knife skills, recipes and other culinary lessons.

COOK AND COMMUNICATE

Bring the family together for time at the table

If you are like most families, the stress of having grandkids and maintaining hectic schedules can heat up the happiest of households in no time—especially when it comes to trying to decide what to have for dinner.

With a little planning and some cooperation, however, even the busiest family can find time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. The following tips will give you an idea of how you can streamline the dinner process and maxmize family time.

Get the whole household involved Why limit family members to such chores as washing and drying dishes? You can also put them to work on tasting food and choosing the menus.

Do a taste test Let’s face it, every family has that one member who is just plain finicky. To combat that, have them weigh in for taste tests. This way, you can plan to cook that dish in bulk.

Strive for leftovers Whoever is cooking can make extra of anything that’s a hit with family members and store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. Two roasted chickens (instead of one) are great for hot or cold sandwiches, soup, salad, and great filler for fajitas or burritos.

WIth a little investigative research online, you can find great recipes that can be prepared together and will make even the pickiest of eaters happy while building relationships over mealtime!

NOVEMBER NEWS

MOMENTS IN TIME

What happened this month in history

November 11, 1918 At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5:00 a.m that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France.

November 13, 1982 The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. The memorial is a simple V-shaped blackgranite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank.

November 14, 1970 A chartered jet carrying most of the Marshall University football team crashes in West Virginia. All 75 passengers are killed, including 37 football players,

the coach, doctors, the athletic director and 25 team boosters.

November 16, 2001 “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” opens in movie theaters. The film, which starred Daniel Radcliffe in the title role, went on to become one of the highestgrossing movies in history.

November 17, 1968 The Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets—and no one sees it. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switches to its previously scheduled programming—the children’s movie, “Heidi.”

November 18, 1991 Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon free Terry Waite after more than four years of captivity. Waite, special envoy of the archbishop of Canterbury, had secured the release of detained missionaries before being captured himself.

November 19, 1824 A flood on the Neva River near St. Petersburg, Russia, claims an estimated 10,000 lives after an ice jam breaks apart and the water overwhelms the city’s dam.
