FROM THE EDITOR Spring Training is finally here! I love the idea of watching a baseball game every day.

I hope your March is shaping up to be amazing (despite the traffic). One of this month’s quotes has really inspired me: Keep focused on who and what are most important.

Making a life is more important than making a living.

I hope you have the opportunity to work on living life and enjoy all of the splendor in the Valley this month.

Check out our Business Spotlight on Little Sicily’s restaurant (the food is out of this world.) Also, take a closer look Arizona Eye Institute. They’re celebrating three decades (30 years) of customizing vision and beauty care in the Northwest Valley.

As always, thank you for your support of The Grand Season, and all of our local advertisers who are committed to providing you an incredible value and excellent customer service.

“Doctor Dolittle” was originally a 1967 film with Rex Harrison that was a dismal flop. It cost $17 million and made only $9 million. 20th Century Fox tried again in 1998 with Eddie Murphy, and the sequel grossed $294 million. Another sequel in 2001, also with Murphy, grossed $176 million.

Now, Universal Studios has acquired the rights and are making “Voyage of Dr. Doolittle” with Robert Downey Jr. in the title role.

Downey’s been Tony Stark, aka “Iron Man,” since 2008 and has completed “The Avengers: Infinity War,” which is due in May.

Jim Carrey says he’s deleting his Facebook account, as well as dumping his Facebook stock, because it profited from the “Russian interference in our election,” and he’s urging others to do the same. He added, “For a long time America enjoyed a geographical advantage in the world, with oceans on both sides of us, and now social media has created a cyber-bridge over which those who do not have our best interest in mind can cross, and we are allowing it. No wall is going to protect us from that, and this easy access has to be more responsibly handled.”

HEALTH

IS SUGAR CAUSING YOUR WEIGHT GAIN? Tips for cutting back

Taking care of your heart starts with your diet and making healthy changes. Cutting down on sugar, which experts say most Americans consume far too much of on a daily basis, is the perfect place to start. To avoid extra sugar in your diet, consider these strategies: • Shop the Perimeter. Sticking to the perimeter of the grocery store is a good rule of thumb, as this tends to be where you’ll find the least processed foods, such as vegetables, fruit, dairy, meat and seafood, most of which are free of added sugar.

• Read Food Labels. Seek out foods containing little to no sugar, being careful to read labels. You may have to look hard though, as sugar is ubiquitous in American foods. Bear in mind that ingredient listings on packaged foods are in order of volume.

• Learn Sugar’s Other Names. “Pretty much anything ending in ‘ose’ is a sugar. And whether it’s fructose, dextrose or sucrose, it will end up as a sugar in your body,” says Mandi Knowles, Registered Dietitian at South Beach Diet. Avoid them if you want to eat less sugar.

• Buy Unsweetened Foods.

Look for food labels that say the food is unsweetened.

Not “naturally sweetened.”

Unsweetened. That means there won’t be anything lurking in there that could throw you off.

• Make Sugar Swaps. Simple swaps can help you save on sugar. Swap soda for unsweetened iced tea and save 31 grams of sugar. Swap non-fat flavored yogurt for Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and save 19 grams of sugar. Swap your favorite vanilla latte for black coffee with a splash of cream and save 35 grams of sugar.

• Try Something New. Consider a diet plan that focuses on good carbs, good fats, healthy protein and high fiber, such as the South Beach Diet, which is proven to have a positive impact on heart health, weight loss and belly fat. Delivering on average just 1 percent of calories from added sugars, it was the first plan to propose dieters focus less on cutting out fats and carbs and focus more on considering the quality of the fats and carbs they’re eating.

CARS

IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW VEHICLE? What you should know before buying or leasing

Whether this is your first time or you’ve done this a number of times before, there are more choices than ever when it comes to makes and models of vehicles, as well as financing options for securing one. Before heading to the dealership, follow these tips to prepare: Do your research Online reviews and safety ratings can be helpful in choosing the car that fits your needs and lifestyle. This information will also come in handy when it comes time to negotiate. Consult reputable independent sources beforehand, like Consumer Reports and Edmunds.com, to compare vehicles you’re considering.

Know your budget Automotive expenses include monthly payments, car insurance, fuel and maintenance costs. As a general guide, transportation expenses should be less than 20 percent of your monthly budget. Use free resources, such as Ally’s online car payment calculator, to help determine what is realistic for your budget; it’s available at allywalletwise. com/calculator.

Decide whether to buy or lease Consider your lifestyle and budget when exploring financing or leasing options. Be sure to review your credit report, as your score can affect whether you’re approved for financing and the rate you’ll receive.

Test drive Don’t forget to do some hands-on research, as well.

Test drive each of your top choices to determine your favorite. You should feel comfortable, confident and safe behind the wheel of the car you select. The longer the test drive, the better. Give yourself as much time as possible to notice the details and get a feel for the vehicle. Most dealers have a predetermined test route, but for those who drive a variety of roads, this may not be enough. Ask your salesperson to go for a longer drive that includes highways and backroads. Before or after your test drive, explore the vehicle, touch every button, program the navigation, climb into the backseat, open the trunk or hatch.

Purchasing or leasing a car is a major financial step. Do your research to ensure you’re making the best decision.

MOMENTS IN TIME WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY Remembering the major events that have happened in March

March 12, 1903 The New York Highlanders join baseball’s American League, changing its name to the New York Yankees in 1913.

March 18, 1942 The War Relocation Authority is created to “Take all people of Japanese descent into custody,” as well as some Germans and Italians, and put them in internment camps.

One Japanese American, Gordon Hirabayashi, fought internment all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled against him. He would later receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

If you’re planning to visit the Hawaiian island of Kauai, you might want to trek up to Mount Waialeale. If you do, though, be sure to take an umbrella, as that mountain holds the distinction of receiving more rainfall than any other place on Earth, with an average of about 40 feet (that’s right, feet) of rain annually!

According to the National Chicken Council’s annual Chicken Wing Report, 1.35 billion wings were consumed during Super Bowl weekend this year.

Number crunchers have determined that if all those wings were laid end-to-end, the resulting line of poultry would stretch 394 million feet—long enough to circle the Earth three times.

Ever wonder how the lollipop got its name?

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Arizona Eye Institute Celebrating 3 decades of customizing vision and beauty care

Brighten Your Home

DAY & NIGHT

For nearly three decades, Emilio M. Justo, M.D., has served the vision and beauty needs of the Northwest Valley as Founder and Medical Director of the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center, where he emphasizes a friendly atmosphere, state-of-theart technology and customized cataract and eyelid surgeries.

Combining his skills as an ophthalmologist with his talent as a cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Justo specializes in customized eyelid surgery and cataract surgery.

The team at the Arizona Eye Institute has mastered working with insurance companies to authorize upper eyelid surgery—due to its dramatic impacts on a patient’s vision.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, had long been thought of as a cosmetic procedure before Dr. Justo began advocating for the community’s right for great vision. Upper eyelid surgery is most often authorized by insurance providers at the Arizona Eye Institute, as it is deemed medically necessary to restore peripheral vision lost to droopy eyelids.

The Arizona Eye Institute is also a go-to for routine and medical eye exams, and both Dr. Justo and his Director of Optometry, Eugene Shifrin, O.D., see patients for conditions including cataracts, Dry Eye, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Eye and more.

The Arizona Eye Institute has three locations, in Sun City West, Sun City and Wickenburg. The Sun City West location houses the Medicare-certified and AAAHC accredited outpatient surgery center. “I personally perform all of our operations here,” Dr. Justo said. “We have one of the only ophthalmic surgery centers in the area.”

To schedule a consultation with Dr. Justo and his team at the Arizona Eye Institute or learn more about the practice, visit www.AZEyeInstitute.com or call (623) 975-2020.

YOU

grandchildren. Or maybe it’s when you get to spend time on a work project you love. Or perhaps practicing your favorite hobby. We all have moments in which a higher amount of energy is flowing within and from us. And, if you are mindful of these moments, you can create more. What does the research say about how to build zest? Here are three practical strategies:

HOW ZESTY ARE YOU?

Being more fully present and engaged in life

When you think of zest, you might imagine a co-worker who is always eager and wired, even first thing in the morning. Or, you might picture the Energizer Bunny pounding its drum or a person singing and dancing in the rain.

These images are a bit extreme for the character strength of zest, which might explain why most people don’t especially relate to it.

1. Talk about the good When something good happens to you, share it verbally with someone and not just through social media. Research shows that frequently sharing positive events boosts your energy and zest.

2. Find nature during the day Take your work breaks outdoors, whenever possible. Research shows that going outside, especially in nature, boosts zest. If you aren’t working, be sure to arrange bits of your day that involve going outside.

But, zest is important for all of us. It means to activate yourself, to live life fully. It is one of two character strengths (along with hope) that is most connected to happiness. Zest brings many benefits such as greater meaning, better physical health and a higher level of engagement in life. While we can’t all be zestful Energizer Bunnies, each of us can naturally come alive with energy.

3. Activate your behavior Think of the exercise/activity that you find most pleasurable. Be sure to consider the many varieties of movement such as yoga, tai chi, walking, dancing, swimming, biking and sports. Structure your week so you can do this one activity a few times per week.

Consider this: What situations bring out your zest?

Maybe it’s anytime you are around your children or

CUSTOM DRAPES Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades

HERE’S A TIP REBATES

STARTING AT

TIP 1 If your skin gets dry, try keeping a container of lotion in your shower.

Apply either just before you towel off or directly after. The heat from a shower will help your skin absorb the moisture.

TIP 2 Want to clean your ceiling fans without dropping dust bunnies everywhere?

Use a pillowcase. Encase the entire blade and wipe from the center out. All the dirt will be trapped inside the case, and when you’re done, go outdoors, turn it inside out and shake it. Then simply pop it in the washer.

TIP 3 If you keep a toilet brush in your bathroom, try this handy hint: Add a few drops of a fragrant multipurpose cleaner to your brush holder, like Pine Sol. TIP 4 To clean the sticky dust buildup on your appliances, make a paste from baking soda and water.

Apply with a damp sponge for a little gentle abrasive, then follow with a clean, damp cloth.

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 23

1. Bobby Helms, in 1957. Meant as a message from an American soldier, he sings about leaving his love, a German’s daughter, by the banks of the old river Rhine.

2. Producer Phil Spector was in a rush to record (one step ahead of Vikki Carr), and the Crystals were out of town. He snagged backup group singers the Blossoms, had them cut the record and put the Crystals’ name on it.

3. 10cc, in 1978. The video for this Jamaica-reggae number was filmed on a beach in Dorset, U.K. 4. Rod Stewart, in 1972.

5. “Snowbird.” Anne Murray’s 1970 version was certified gold by the RIAA, the first time the American organization awarded a gold record to a Canadian female artist.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Little Sicily

Mouthwatering Italian Cuisine You’ll Crave After the First Bite Little Sicily has been serving authentic Chicago-style Italian cuisine in the Northwest Valley for 11 years.

Locally-owned and operated by Sicilians, the food at Little Sicily is unbelievably delicious.

Mike Faulisi and George Alaimo purchased Little Sicily from their friend and former owner Dominic Scafidi. George Alaimo moved to the U.S. from Sicily in the 1970s, and has been in the restaurant business ever since. “I remember walking past a pizza place when I was 12 years old, watching people throw pizza dough in the air, and thinking, ‘I want to do that.’

When I was 13, I went into that same pizza place and asked for a job, and soon was washing dishes. Making pizza is an art. I had to work my way up to that.”

In addition to the many sandwiches and pizzas made at Little Sicily, the menu boasts authentic Italian pasta dishes and appetizers, as well as delicious desserts.

“The Cannoli is homemade and the Tiramisu is brought in fresh from Chicago,” says Alaimo.

Among the other unique services available at Little Sicily, is BYOB (Bring your favorite wine and beer). Additionallly, Little Sicily loves to cater events. If you call at least 48 hours ahead, they will make a menu your friends rave about for days to come.

For more information about catering, or to place a to-go order, call (623) 537-5900.

Little Sicily, is open 11:00 am to 9:00 pm Sunday-Thursday, and 11:00 am to 10:00 pm Friday and Saturday. .

COUCH THEATER

Bad Moms Christmas (R) Is it possible for a mother to sit back and actually enjoy Christmas? Amy (Mila Kunis), Kiki (Kristen Bell) and Carla (Kathryn Hahn)—the original Bad Moms—are back in hot-mess action mode, this time facing the mother of all holidays. The inclusion of three veteran comedians (Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines and Susan Sarandon) as the grandmoms does spread out the comedy, but if the first one was shocking but refreshingly honest humor, this one is just an over-the-top hammering of vulgarity.

You’ve been warned!

use

Only the Brave (PG-13) A spectacular ensemble cast—Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, Andie McDowell and Ben Hardy—takes on heroism and sacrifice, with heartwarming results! The story focuses on Superintendent Eric “Supe” Marsh (Brolin) and his singular devotion to his elite crew of firefighters and their training, as well as new recruit Brendan “Donut” McDonough (Teller) and ultimately, the story of their battle in the Yarnell Hill wildfire in June 2013. It’s based on the GQ article “No Exit,” which chronicled these famed “hotshots.”

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.”

BEING SMART WITH THAT SMARTPHONE

Strategic ways to protect your new electronic device

The latest smartphones have some great new features, but they come with hefty price tags, and such devices are not necessarily built-to-last. The new iPhone X, for example, recently hit the market at a $1,000 starting price and experts say it’s extremely fragile.

With its all-glass design, you may be wondering if it’s worth the investment. Recent tests conducted

by SquareTrade using scientific robots to drop, bend, tumble, and dunk devices, revealed the iPhone X to be one of the most breakable iPhone models ever made, shattering on its first face down drop.

“Without taking a few key precautions, consumers are likely going to spend more than the $1,000 they’ve already invested in their phone over their devices’ lifetime,” says Jason Siciliano, vice president global creative director at SquareTrade. To protect

50

THE GRAND SEASON • MARCH 2018

your investment, whether you have an iPhone X or any another mobile device, Siciliano recommends: Cover Up Your new phone may have a sleek design you want to show off, but not using a case is a big mistake.

With so many designs on the market, as well as opportunities to customize, there is no reason these days not to better protect your phone. A screen protector is also a great idea, guarding against scratches and residue.

Get Covered With potential repair costs on the rise, protection plans are becoming more important than ever. For example, the iPhone X has a thinner, costlier OLED screen that’s more expensive to replace, a smaller logic board, multiple cables, and a split battery that’s more difficult to remove. All of which may be why Apple is charging $279 for front screen replacement and $549 for other repairs. Accidents are often beyond one’s control.

So, don’t have a false sense of security regarding drops and spills. However, protection plans can be affordable. Make your purchase last by taking some smart steps to protect your smartphone from life’s inevitable accidents.

VETERANS POST Veterans who want to upgrade their military discharge now have help. The Department of Veterans Affairs, working with the Department of Defense, has created a new online tool.

DENTISTS YOU CAN TRUST & TALK TO

There are any number of reasons why a veteran might end up with a less-than-honorable discharge. Events that occurred due to traumatic brain injury, assault or harassment due to sexual orientation, and mental-health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder are on the list.

For those veterans who wonder if it’s worth the bother trying to upgrade, the answer is yes. You’ll be eligible for the benefits you earned.

Go online to www.vets. gov/discharge-upgrade-instructions to the How to Apply for a Discharge Upgrade page. Based on your answers to questions, this tool will walk you through whom you need to contact, provide the forms and give tips on appealing your discharge. At the end of the questions you’ll get an initial reply. If it says you need to fill out a DOD Form 149, just scroll down to download it. If you did apply and were approved, you’ll be issued a DD215.
