FROM THE EDITOR My calendar for this month makes me dizzy.

I’m confident your mailbox (or email box) is full of invitations to graduation celebrations, wedding showers, baby showers and more.

May provides many opportunities to celebrate.

Mother’s Day makes me think of the ladies in my life I have been blessed to know and love. My favorite thing about working at The Grand Season is the opportunity to work with my Mom. She has taught me the power of grit and persistence. She has shown me that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams—and that failure isn’t final. The Grand Season wouldn’t be what it is without her commitment and determination. It makes me grateful for her support.

And speaking of support, would you make it a point to patronize the businesses featured in this month’s issue? You, our local readers, are a vital part of these local businesses surviving and thriving.

ELECTRONIC WIZARDS TECHNOLOGY KEEPS YOU CONNECTED 24/7

Celebrating 25 Years of Business!

Electronic Wizards are helping people across the valley with “CUTTING THE CORD” from unreasonable cable bills. Owners, Keith & Corey Brown (father and son) say the cost of cable and satellite have gone through the roof.

“We came up with a great solution to help our customers save a lot of money” says Keith. “With our custom HDTV Antenna, I’m picking up over 90 channels at my home in Surprise and pay no monthly fee! And for those folks needing more channels, we’re helping them to stream channels like ESPN, HISTORY CHANNEL, CNN, FOX NEWS and more either free or at a much cheaper rate than cable.”

But wait, the Electronic Wizards do even more!

They are wizards with helping people with their TV’s, sound systems, computers, security cameras—they even offer a remote control that you press one button to turn on and operate your TV & sound system with! Electronic Wizards can handle most any technology issues you may have.

Electronic Wizards can also beat the price of big box stores on most TV’s and sound systems.

For a limited time, Electronic Wizards is offering readers an “in-home consultation” for only $49. Keith says feel free to give him a call, even if you just have a question. He says, “We’re here to help!”

VETERAN & SENIOR DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE!

Happy May celebrations!

LIGHT THE FIRE

LOVE

Cultivate a more vibrant relationship

THEGRANDSEASON.COM Looking to make your marriage stronger and more satisfying? Try these helpful hints: 1. Pay attention to their dreams.

Do you know your spouse’s deepest desires? Besides wanting the best for your family and loving you above all else, do you know what other things are tugging at their heartstrings? You stand a better chance of helping your spouse succeed when you know what they’re aiming for.

2. Ask about the things that matter to them.

If they can’t stop talking about that project at work or the new idea they want to pursue, it’s time you paid attention. Ask them what they need, how far they’ve gone and how you can help. Showing you’re interested in their world will motivate them to be their best.

3. Encourage them.

Sometimes we take for granted how much impact our words can have on our loved ones. We let moments pass that could energize them in ways we can’t even imagine. The next time you look at your spouse and think what a brave, conscientious man he is, tell him. Let your wife know she’s a great mom and an exceptional professional.

4. Be a sounding board.

Be available. Can your spouse trust you with their ideas and insights, no matter how simple they may be? Listen, examine and analyze their thoughts with them, not just for them. Sometimes all we need is someone to recognize the dream in us, especially when we can’t see it in ourselves.

5. Celebrate all successes.

Celebrate their wins even when they don’t think it’s a big deal. Small wins keep us energized and enthusiastic.

Inspire your spouse to reach higher in everything they do.

6. Be authentic.

Nothing causes more discouragement and disillusionment than someone who encourages you to do something they’ll never try. If you’re inspiring your spouse to be better at work, make sure you’re actively doing the same thing at home.

KEEPING A TIDY HOUSE WITH PETS

prevent that shedding fur from ending up everywhere.

Tips for loving your space and your fur babies

For all the companionship pets provide, it’s fair to admit that they can mess up a clean, tidy home pretty quickly. But rather than sequester furry loved ones to certain rooms of the house or simply submit to the chaos, you can follow a few savvy tips to keep your home fresh with less work.

Pet Grooming Brushing pets regularly is good for them —and good for flooring and furniture. Do so every couple days in order to keep your pets’ coats healthy and help

After walking the dog or letting the cat into the backyard, wipe paws before pets get a chance to track in mud and debris. You can set up a clean-paws station by your home’s entrance to ensure you make this a habit.

Smart Flooring According to experts, there’s no need to compromise on the quality of your home’s flooring. “As much as we all love our pets, it’s no secret that they can wreak havoc on flooring, especially carpets,” says Jennifer Bertrand. “But by seeking out products specifically designed for busy homes with pets, you can maintain the look of your carpets.” Bertrand points to Stainmaster’s PetProtect as a good solution for pet owners for a few reasons. “It resists pet stains. Which means you can worry about other things, like which dog park to visit next. Your pup will love it too, because he won’t get in trouble after his little mess-ups,” she says.

Cleaning Habits With smart pet-friendly flooring and furniture choices (think microfiber sofas), cleaning up after your pet and busy lifestyle should be easy.

But remember, it’s easier to clean as you go than it is to wait until things get out of hand.

With a few tricks, and some smart pet-friendly product selections, you can have the best of both worlds: a clean and fresh home, and all the members of your family—including those with four legs—together when and where you like.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE Do you know what to look for?

Misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol among the elderly is one of the fastest growing health problems in the U.S., according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), yet it can often be mistaken for normal aging behavior.

A recent report shows that the use of illicit drugs, combining drugs with alcohol, and the nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals, results in an average of nearly 300 emergency room visits nationwide each day for those aged 65 and older. Here are some important points to consider.

Abuse triggers Retirement, the death of a spouse or dear friend, the loss of a pet and other significant life events, are times when the elderly are most likely to begin misusing or abusing drugs and alcohol.

Potential signs Many older people will hide their problem out of shame, and while substance abuse can mimic symptoms of other diseases, always consider the possibility of abuse if there are any major changes in behaviors, such as loss of interest in hobbies, activities or socializing, as well as changes in appetite and sleeping habits.

Ask questions At times when loved ones appear sober and alert, start asking questions about their use of drugs and alcohol and if they think they have a problem. Speak frankly about your concerns and the risks of substance abuse, but also be sympathetic to the difficulties with which they’re dealing.

Seek Help If you do suspect a substance abuse problem, contact his or her health care provider and discuss the best approach to getting appropriate treatment.

Identifying substance abuse can be challenging, particularly when it comes to the elderly, but addressing the issue quickly is critical to their health and safety.

NOW OUT ON DVD AND BLU-RAY!

The Greatest Showman (PG) Witness the rise and drive behind America’s original sanguine starmaker, P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman). The music is wonderful: You can feel the confidence blooming in “This Is Me,” and the butterflies in your stomach during “Rewrite the Stars,” the rope-swinging love song between Philip Carlyle (Zac Efron) and Anne Wheeler (Zendaya).

Braven (R) “Big and beautiful” describes both the mountain scenery and the star of this action flick, Jason Momoa. He plays gentle giant Joe Braven—father, husband and logging-company owner. When Joe heads up to his cabin in the woods to button it up for the season, he discovers a giant bag of cocaine which was stashed in the cabin by drug traffickers. As you’ll soon see, Mr. Braven is very skilled in the art of defense.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS

INSTANT INSPIRATION

Never underestimate your ability to influence others

When it comes to developing character, strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home’s potential for positive influence.

—Stephen Covey The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

—Ken Blanchard Leadership is not about a title or a designation.

It’s about impact, influence and inspiration.

Impact involves getting results. Influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates and customers.

—Robin S. Sharma

When you hold your baby in your arms the first time, and you think of all the things you can say and do to influence him, it’s a tremendous responsibility.

What you do with him can influence not only him, but everyone he meets and not for a day or a month or a year but for time and eternity.

—Rose Kennedy

I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you’re a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.

—Joel Osteen

it happens so you can have a positive influence and encourage other people.

—David Robinson The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.

—Henry Drummond Parents are the ultimate role models for children.

Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.

—Bob Keeshan

All this stuff doesn’t happen to you for your own sake. It doesn’t happen to you so you can fill your shelves with trophies or line your pockets with cash;

FINDING TRUSTING MEMBERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY TO CARE FOR NEIGHBORS

PAWS CORNER

STAYING THE SUMMER Q: How important do you think it is to get your pet microchipped?

A: It’s entirely your decision whether to microchip your pets.

Here are a few statistics to consider.

A 2009 study cited by the American Veterinary Medical Association found that dogs without microchips were returned to their owners 22 percent of the time, whereas microchipped dogs were returned 52 percent of the time.

Cats without microchips were reunited with their owners less than 2 percent of the time, whereas microchipped cats went back home 38 percent of the time.

Whether Receiving or Giving Care NeighborCare is THERE!

Even if your pets are indoor cats, which vastly improves their chances for healthy, long lives, accidents do happen.

While a microchip doesn’t guarantee your cats will be found and reunited with you, it does greatly improve the odds.

Getting Things Done by David Allen

BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

BOOK CLUB

David Allen’s classic book is your quintessential guide to personal organization, time management and productivity. “What we truly need to do is often what we most feel like avoiding,” he writes.

Five books to help you be your best

Superhuman By Habit by Tynan “Left unexamined, our habits are just as likely to hinder our progress as they are to enhance it,” says backpacker, blogger and best-selling author Tynan.

“The key to productivity isn’t found in extraordinary people,” he says, “but in ordinary people who learn to maintain positive habits on a regular basis.”

Greater Balance, Greater Reward

by Jeff Kooz If you are tired of feeling as if your life is a juggling act (and you’re not the greatest juggler), read this book.

Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy Legendary time-management expert Brian Tracy tells it to us straight: “There isn’t enough time for everything on your to-do list, and there never will be. Don’t try to get it all done, make sure you get the most important things done.”

The Compound Effect

by Darren Hardy Author and personal-development expert Darren Hardy offers the fundamentals of being productive in every aspect of your life—and it boils down to the action steps you take each day.

HERE’S A TIP TIP 1 Try kitty litter to remove grease stains off your concrete driveway. Pour several cups of plain litter over the stain and wait a couple of hours for it to soak up all the oil. Sweep up and remove the litter, then finish with a degreaser and the hose.

TIP 2 If you see little flecks of white in your coffee, ask for a new cup and new creamer; it’s starting to turn.

TIP 3 To get rid of mineral deposits or hard-water stains in your toilet, try dropping two AlkaSeltzer tablets in a flushed toilet and letting them bubble and sit overnight.

In the morning, scrub with a toilet brush and flush until it’s all clear.

Do you feel like what you’re searching for might be lurking just around the corner but you simply can’t reach it? Take a deep breath and let inspiration come to you. Here are some things you can do that will help.

1. Write it down Write everything down: Good ideas, bad ideas, laughably terrible ideas, random musings, dreams, everything. Putting your thoughts on paper makes it easier to go back and find the stroke of genius. It also helps you learn a bit about how your brain works.

2. Read The majority of successful individuals read voraciously when they’re not working. More specifically, they read books, blogs and papers on subjects outside their industry to widen their knowledge and discover new connections.

5. Fail Sometimes our biggest failures can set the stage for our grandest successes. As Steven Tyler said in a famous Aerosmith song, “You’ve got to lose to know how to win.”

6. Evaluate your goals Maybe your struggle for inspiration is symptomatic of a deeper issue. Are your efforts actually being focused in the right direction?

7. Simplify Sometimes a lack of inspiration can come from working on too many projects. Cut out extraneous tasks and focus on solving one problem at a time.

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 20

1. The Seekers (in 1965). Sonny James came out with a country version three years later. Both versions did well, coming in at No. 2 and No. 1, respectively, on the Easy Listen and Country charts.

2. 1956. The song went to No. 1 on the R&B chart, the only one they did as a duo. Shirley’s 1975 disco hit single of “Shame, Shame, Shame” also topped the chart.

3. Popsicles and Icicles” (in 1964). The Murmaids claimed their royalties were taken to pay expenses, even though the song cost only $108 to record.

4. Fleetwood Mac (in 1977).

5. ”Yesterday’s Gone” by Chad & Jeremy (in 1963).

This was the first song Chad Stuart had ever written. He credited Wendy Kidd as co-writer because she’d allowed him to use her piano.

SENIOR NEWS

NEVER PAY FOR IT TWICE

Give yourself a little help to save both money and time

AARP, better known as the American Association of Retired Persons, is the organization set up to protect the interests of seniors. To the surprise of some, however, they are coming under fire for sending out too many renewal notices.

Why is that a problem? It seems the motivation is what’s coming under question.

Far too often, whenever seniors receive a bill in the mail, they just automatically write a check.

In the face of continual renewal notices, it’s very possible that many seniors end up accidentally sending in multiple checks to cover the same year of service.

Even worse, they can end up with multiple (and redundant) AARP accounts, and end up paying dues on all of them.

Looking for solutions? Here’s an idea. Keep a small notebook handy, possibly in a kitchen drawer or a desk where you typically sit when you’re paying bills and writing checks. Keep a list of expiration dates for all of the services you make payments for.

Each month, review the list again to see which items are coming up for renewal. If your credit card is due to expire in October, you’ll know when to start watching the mail for its replacement.

If your car inspection sticker expires in July, make a note to get it taken care of ahead of time. Check magazine mailing labels. The expiration date will typically be right on them.

Because important things do get lost in the mail, here are a few more things to note on your list: property taxes (if you don’t pay them with your mortgage), any quarterly payments, bank box fees, ending period for any discount you’re getting on your Internet service or zero-interest credit card, furnace or HVAC inspection, last date to sign up for something important, and so much more. Once you start using a list like this, you’ll wonder how you managed without it.

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.”

DOLLARS & SENSE Every dollar counts in retirement. Here are some money saving tips:

From glare to glow. For less.

• Grocery shop once a week, with a list. You’ll spend less because you’ll only be in the store once and won’t be tempted to pick up extra items. Avoid aisles that don’t have anything on your list.

• Work from a weekly meal plan so you’ll have all the ingredients. If you find yourself eating the same things over and over, search online for new low-cost recipes.

• If you pay your insurance by the month, you likely pay a few dollars extra every month. If you can, pay by the year.

• Use the library for new books by your favorite authors. Sign up on Amazon to get email notices when an author is about to come out with something new. Then go to your library’s website and put a hold on that book right away.

• Check into zero-interest credit cards to pay off other balances.

• Ask your pharmacist about special discount plans. Yes, some places have them.

MEMORIAL DAY IT’S ALMOST HERE!

A little history, and some helpful hints for making it more memorable!

Technically, summer doesn’t start until June 21.

But many people consider Memorial Day to be the unofficial start of the season. This year, we celebrate the holiday on May 28. Many families will heat up the grill, head to the beach or take in a big blockbuster movie. But Memorial Day has the word “memorial” in it for a reason.

The holiday got started on May 30, 1868, when Union General John A. Logan declared the day an occasion to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers. Twenty years later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. On May 11, 1950, Congress passed a resolution requesting that the President issue a proclamation calling on Americans to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer.

Here are some ways you can honor the men and women who serve our country: • Put flags or flowers on the graves of men and women who served in wars.

• Fly the U.S. flag at half-staff until noon.

• Visit monuments dedicated to soldiers, sailors and marines.

• Participate in a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time.

• March in a parade.

• Host a Memorial Day BBQ for your neighbors and friends. During the party, encourage all attendees to write a thank you letter to a soldier serving in the military overseas.

“Advocates for YOUR Home Improvement”

SERVING THE VALLEY SINCE 1974!

President Richard M. Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is now observed on the last Monday of May. It is an occasion to honor the men and women who died in all wars.

Remembering Those Who Served It is customary to mark Memorial Day by visiting graveyards and war monuments. One of the biggest Memorial Day traditions is for the President or Vice President to give a speech and lay a wreath on soldiers’ graves in the largest national cemetery, Arlington National Cemetery, in Virginia. Most communities have local Memorial Day celebrations.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

It was Swedish poet Vilhelm Ekelund who made the following sage observation: “To read fast is as bad as to eat in a hurry.”

Bullies, take note: Director Wes Craven reportedly named the character Freddy Krueger, from the “Nightmare on Elm Street” horror films, after a kid who had bullied him in school.

If you take a close look at New Hampshire’s Constitution Bill of Rights, you’ll find “the right of revolution” enshrined therein.

Over the course of a lifetime, you’ll probably spend about three years in the restroom.

When groups of shrimp end up with too few males to sustain the population, some of the females turn into males.

If someone called you a “mumpsimus,” would you be flattered or insulted? It seems that the appropriate reaction would be to take offense. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a mumpsimus is “a stubborn person who insists on making an error in spite of being shown that it is wrong.”
