LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

A2Z

S EXPERIENCE OVER 30 YEAR

We Sell TV’s Cheaper Than Best B**

Happy 2016!

At the beginning of each year, I like to consider ways to improve my life— physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

My emotional goals are always challenged by the obstacles I face during the year. Recently, I was reminded by my 98-yearold grandfather of the importance of telling those I care about how much I appreciate them.

There’s no doubt that he has impacted the world but as we talked I realized that I had never specifically told him how much he had changed my life.

This conversation reminded me how each of us desires to change the world around us.

But we rarely receive affirmation about our contributions.

So this year, I’d like to encourage you to write a note to those you care about—before it’s too late.

MOMENTS IN HISTORY January 3, 1938— Franklin Delano Roosevelt, an adult victim of polio, founds the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, later renamed the March of Dimes Foundation.

STAYING SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL

AUTO TALK

By Derrick Grant

As we age, it’s normal for driving abilities to change.

By reducing risk factors and incorporating safe driving practices, many can continue driving safely long into their senior years. It’s important to pay attention to any warning signs that age is interfering with our driving safety and make appropriate adjustments.

Even if you find you need to reduce your driving or give up the keys, it doesn’t mean the end of your independence. Alternative methods of transportation can offer health and social benefits.

Everyone ages differently, so there’s no arbitrary cutoff as to when someone should stop driving.

Older adults, however, are more likely to receive traffic citations and get into accidents than younger drivers. In fact, fatal crash rates rise sharply after a driver has reached the age of 70. What causes this increase? As we age, factors such as decreased

let us make your dream kitchen a beautiful reality!

vision, impaired hearing or slowed motor reflexes may become a problem. You may have a chronic condition that gradually worsens with time, or you may have to adjust to a sudden change, such as a stroke. Aging tends to result in a reduction of strength, coordination and flexibility, which can affect your ability to safely control a car. For example: • Pain or stiffness in your neck can make it harder to look over your shoulder to change lanes or look both ways at intersections to check for traffic.

• Leg pain can make it difficult to move your foot from the gas to the brake pedal.

• Diminished arm strength can make it hard to turn the steering wheel.

• Reaction times slow down with age, so you may be slower to spot vehicles emerging from side streets or realize the vehicle ahead stopped.

• K eeping track of road signs, signals, traffic and pedestrians can become more difficult as you lose the ability to manage multiple activities.

You may have driven your entire life and take great pride in your safety record, but as you age, it’s critical to realize your driving ability can change. To stay safe, you need to get help when changes happen and be willing to listen if others voice concerns.

COUCH THEATER

By Sam Struckhoff

Now Out on DVD and Blu-Ray! A Walk in the Woods (R) With a successful career, loving wife and years of priceless experiences, writer Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) still feels lost, and gets a yearning for daring adventure. He’s going to hike all 2,200 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia up to Maine. Even more, he’s making the journey with his crazy old pal, Katz (Nick Nolte). The two grouch and bicker their way through majestic slopes with vague hopes of a meaningful journey.

The Perfect Guy (PG-13) In this steamy-yet-standard thriller, we learn that sometimes finding a guy who is loyal, strong, protective, resourceful and loving can be a very bad thing if he’s also wide-eyed crazy. Not long after Leah (Sanaa Lathan) breaks up with her beau Dave (Morris Chestnut), she’s romantically rescued by the dashing Carter (Michael Ealy), who is quite possibly the perfect man. His perfection has a major flaw though—as Carter gets intensely jealous, turns violent and doesn’t really believe in privacy.

SUN CITY PET MARKET

Offers High-Quality Goods

HI, MY NAME IS NINO AND I WAS A VERY SICK DOG. My mom, Ms. Edwards tried many things to make me better, but after thousands of dollars spent with many failed attempts with drugs, lotions, and shampoos, I was still very sick. I lost almost all of my hair with many sores over most of my body, and I also smelled very stinky. I had about as much energy as a stuffed animal. My Mom found a locally owned natural pet food store called Sun City Pet, and man I’ve got to tell you this is a great store with wonderful toys, collars, treats and really good food with none of it made in China. The owner has over 14 years of pet re-lated experience and has gone to many continuing pet education classes, and boy does he know a lot about pet nutrition.

He knew exactly what it would take to make me the dog I am today. It was no easy task but after about one years time, look at me now! My coat is soft and beautiful and I have the energy of a mountain lion. I no longer have sores, with a perfect weight, and no more odor. I owe thanks to the fully trained staff at the store who were great to me. They helped transition me off of a very poor diet and onto a high quality natural dog food and veterinary grade supplements. They have a wide variety of high quality products, with a great selection of items all at reasonable prices. If you know of other Birds, Cats, or Dogs in need of some help, send them to Sun City Pet.

YOUR HEALTH

FOUR MYTHS ABOUT GRIEF AND LOSS

Understanding the process of losing someone you love

Losing someone or something you love is very painful.

You may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness will never let up.

These are normal reactions to a significant loss. But while there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can help you move on.

What Is Grief?

It’s a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief will be. You may associate grief with the death of a loved one—which is often the cause of the most intense type of grief—but any loss can cause grief, including: • Divorce or relationship breakup • Losing a job • Loss of health • Retirement • Death of a spouse • Death of a child • Death of a pet • Loss of financial stability

Myths About Grief Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.

MYTH: The pain will go away faster if you ignore it.

FACT: Trying to ignore your pain or keep it from surfacing will only make it worse. For real healing it’s necessary to face your grief and actively deal with it.

MYTH: You must “be strong” in the face of loss.

FACT: Feeling sad, frightened or lonely is a normal reaction to loss. Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak.

You don’t need to “protect” your family or friends with a brave front. Showing your true feelings helps.

MYTH: If you don’t cry, it means you aren’t sorry about the loss.

FACT: Crying is a normal response to sadness, but it’s not the only one. Those who don’t cry may feel the pain just as deeply as others. They may simply have other ways of showing it.

MYTH: Grief should last about a year.

A BETTER YOU

By Laura Stack

SNOOZING YOUR WAY TO PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY

How much sleep is right for you?

Do You Get Enough Sleep at Night?

Think back to the last time you missed a significant amount of sleep. How did you feel the next day?

Were you able to get your work done efficiently and professionally? Probably not. I’ll bet you felt tense, irritable, red-eyed, edgy and drowsy— in other words, TIRED. Insufficient sleep can also leave you moody, lethargic and unmotivated, damage your creativity and problem-solving skills and make it difficult for you to make decisions and deal with stress.

The Gold Stanard The standard required-sleep estimate for working-age adults comes to eight hours—a decent compromise between the 7.5 - 9 hours most experts cite as ideal.

And yet American workers get an average of only six hours and forty minutes of sleep per night. We know better, so why do we do it?

Sometimes You Have No Choice Something comes up that steals part of your sleep time, or your mind stubbornly refuses to shut down.

Generally, though, when and how long we sleep remains up to us. Unfortunately, we sometimes look at our busy day and the big chunk sleep takes out of it, and we decide we can afford to cut back.

The Perfect Sleep Don’t assume the classic eight-hour figure is set in stone. Some of us need less or more. About 3% of us possess a gene that lets us get by on six hours per night, and for a rare few three hours is enough. On the other hand, some people feel lousy if they sleep less than 12 hours—something almost impossible to achieve in today’s world.

Caveat Emptor All this assumes, of course, you don’t suffer from a sleep disorder. If you require sleeping pills just to get to sleep or you can’t seem to get enough restorative sleep no matter what you do, then you should consult your doctor in attempt to identify and treat the disorder.

TRAVEL SMART

Smart budget travel tips for that dream vacation

Dream vacations come in all shapes and sizes. For some, it may be visiting every ballpark nationwide.

For others, it’s island hopping in the Caribbean.

Yet nearly threequarters of Americans haven’t taken their dream vacation because they think it’s too expensive, according to a recent Bank of America survey.

Dream vacations, however, don’t have to be out of reach. Travel Expert and Food Network Host Ted Allen has teamed with Bank of America to provide these smart budget travel tips: Monitor airfare and hotel rates a few months out to potentially save hundreds of dollars on last-minute

price surges. Travel during off-peak times to stretch your budget and avoid crowds.

Use a credit card that rewards you for purchases made throughout the year.

“My BankAmericard Travel Rewards credit card earns an unlimited 1.5 points per dollar on all purchases, and since my points don’t expire I can save them up to offset future travel expenses,” says Allen. “And it’s great when I travel overseas because there are no foreign transaction fees.”

Establish a personal connection with travel representatives who can help open doors for hidden upgrades and deals. For example, with one phone call you may be able to check a bag for free.

Don’t defer your dream vacation forever. These simple tips can help make your dream a reality. For more travel tips visit www.travelguard.com Article adapted from StatePoint Media

According to Elaine Sarsynski, of MassMutual Retirement Services, “Satisfaction with life in retirement actually increases, indicating a high degree of adaptability by most retirees. Retirees typically rely more on Social Security and qualified savings like IRAs and pensions.”

Retirees say their ability to manage expenses improves the longer they are retired. “Retirees adapt to living on a fixed income by finding creative ways to cut expenses without forgoing activities they enjoy,” says Mathew Greenwald. “Some take part-time jobs at theaters or with orchestra groups in order to get free tickets. Many also seek out cheaper activities, such as senior center events or community theaters.”

Of the study respondents who retired 11-15 years ago, 83 percent say they feel financially secure and 62 percent say they are “very satisfied” with

TRICK 1: Align the Clubface The correct way to align your shots is to always begin by first assessing your target from behind the ball.

This will give you a perspective of the entire hole and help you aim where you want the ball to go. Secondly, before you make your actual stance, set the clubface behind the golf ball and align it directly at the target.

Do this before, not after, you get into your stance After you have the right clubface alignment, then comes time to situate the rest of your body.

Keep your body aiming left of the target line, and experiment with what works best for you—make sure to align that clubface first.

TRICK 2: Choose the Right Club Selecting the right club includes things like natural shot tendencies, wind, hazards and whether or not hidden dangers lurk in prime landing areas. A better player looks at what approach shot is to follow.

The Grand Season Business Profile

Give Your Favorite Clothes a New Lease on Life Leslie’s Alterations Can Professionally Make Things Fit Just Right Again

adjusted to a new frame is hard enough without having to go searching for a bra to fit your new body.

Looking for a local business that specializes in tailoring your favorite clothing? Look no further than Leslie’s Alterations to help make your outfit just right.

Leslie’s also takes pride in taking care of dress uniforms for those who serve our country and our community—meaning alterations and changes to all military, police and firefighter uniforms are done for a special rate. Additionally, Leslie’s Alterations provides customized fitting areas to accommodate customers who may have special needs, or may require a wheelchair or motorized device to get around.

It’s that time of the year! You need the perfect outfit, for the perfect occasion, but you have no idea what to wear.

Chances are you have several fabulous options in the back of your closet you haven’t worn in years because they don’t fit just “right.”

You know the reality of wearing your favorite skirt or shirt is slim, but it remains in your closet because it’s a reminder of a special event in your life. Do yourself a favor this year and pull that skirt, dress or suit out of the closet and take it to Leslie’s Alterations. Allow their professional tailors to customize that cherished outfit into something you’ll wear to your next event, rather than something you reminisce over.

Leslie’s Alterations has been serving men and women in the West Valley for more than 18 years. Their qualified team of tailors can work with all fabrics—but they specialize in leather care, wedding attire, ballroom gowns and suits. They can also provide customized service for furs that may need special attentions.

Leslie’s Alterations is owned by the Meyer family, and is a business close to Melissa Meyer’s heart. As a sewing enthusiast herself, when the original owners of Leslie’s fell ill and needed to sell the business, Melissa knew it was a business she could help build and grow.

This year, instead of passing by the perfect outfit because it’s the wrong size, make it your goal to spend your valuable time and money at Leslie’s Alterations to make those items fit perfectly, rather than wander around the mall looking for something that will just do.

Visit Leslie’s Alterations in the Sun Dome Plaza in Sun City West, open Monday-Friday from 8:00 am 4:00 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm.

Walking into Leslie’s Alterations, you feel like you’ve dropped by an old friends home for a cup of coffee.

Their warm and friendly team is committed to quality service and excellent craftsmanship. Whether you need a dress taken in, a pair of pants hemmed or the cuffs on your shirt need to be adjusted, the team at Leslie’s will make the changes without missing a beat. Additionally, they can rush your order for a minimal charge if for some reason you thought an outfit would look great—but in reality it needs a little nip and tuck to fit perfectly.

One of the most amazing services Leslie’s provides is altering bras’s for women undergoing or recovering from treatment for breast cancer. As you can imagine, getting

STRANGE BUT TRUE Historians say that on April 4, 1968, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. participated in a pillow fight in the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. This wouldn’t be noteworthy, of course, except for the fact that he was assassinated at the motel that same evening.

Those who study such things say that men without beards are 40 percent more likely to describe themselves as happy.

A project to build 21 cabins in the Maine woods for homeless veterans received another push forward recently when state lawmakers approved nearly $400,000 in federal tax credits.

The project is being spearheaded by the Volunteers of America and is pulling in support from all sectors. The cabins will be built on an 11-acre wooded section of the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Togus) property under a 75-year lease.

The fully furnished ADA-approved cabins will be for both men and women, and the site would include a community center.

For homeless veterans, many of whom deal with PTSD and substance abuse, a cabin in the quiet Maine woods, with medical assistance and support services nearby, could be the perfect vehicle for healing and eventual wellness.

Continued from page 26 TRICK 3: Don’t Change Your Stance Maintaining a consistent stance is critical to becoming a better ballstriker. That’s not to say there aren’t minor adjustments in spine angle, ball position and stance width, but generally, how you stand over an iron should not be far off from how you situate yourself with a driver.

NEW YEAR NEW CAR!

TRICK 4: Make a Good Grip Better players always have a solid grip. To start, grip the club with your gloved hand and emphasize the handle’s placement in the fingers between the first knuckle and the palm. Then, apply the ungloved hand so it wraps comfortably around the handle.

From there, the thumb and index fingers of both hands form two Vs, both of which should be pointed somewhere around the right side of your chest or right shoulder.

LOOKING FOR LOVE

FOUR DATING TIPS

A guide to finding love again

Here’s the dating dilemma: The society we live in tells people of a certain age that their best opportunities for love and romance have come and gone.

Deep down, you know it’s not too late— never too late—to find love. This is the “timeless you,” who experiences a tingle of excitement at the thought of new romantic possibilities.

To help you navigate the most common senior single dating pitfalls, here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind.

(Don’t) Act Your Age After spending a lifetime learning to be “serious” and “responsible,” it can be hard to remember the cardinal rule of dating: Have fun! While many dating rules have changed, laughter, spontaneity and a healthy appetite for fun are still highly attractive.

Be Here, Now. If you are dating again for the first time in years, you’ve probably overcome painful obstacles to arrive at this decision. Perhaps you’ve survived the death of a spouse, or maybe a divorce that tested your sense of self and ability to trust. Don’t let your past dominate the conversation.

Leave Your Kids at Home Your children are adults now and have had homes of their own for years. But they can still tag along on your date, if you take their opinions too much to heart. Listen to your kids concerns—but live your own life.

View Each Date as a Fresh Start Resist the temptation to compare each new person with past partners. Dating is not about filling someone’s empty shoes or avoiding a repeat of past hurts. It is about starting over entirely and finding new things to love about another unique person.

Love is exciting and meaningful at any age. So have fun, be present, be free—and follow your heart where it leads. For more great dating tips, visit eharmony.com.

You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.

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.”

Helping Seniors and Their Families Find Living Care Options AAA Senior Placement Resources Compassionately Helps Those Making Hard Care Decisions By providing seniors and their families with personalized care and an incredible network of resources to identify the right level of assistance for each stage of a senior’s life. AAA helps families find the right care for their loved ones.

AAA Senior Placement Resources is a family-owned and operated business in Surprise. AAA specializes in helping the senior community and their families navigate the challenges individuals face as they find the need to transition from independent living to identifying which type of assisted living will best meet their specific needs.

Sue Royer, the owner of AAA Senior Placement Resources, sees her passion for assisting the senior community directly connected to her experience as a child. Sue says, “When I was a child I had the responsibility of caring for my 17 siblings. While I complained to my parents, who were too busy themselves, to give me a break. Little did I know that all those experiences with my family would shape my life’s work.”

Since AAA Senior Placement Resources is a familyrun business, they are able to maintain their integrity by closely monitoring all of their seniors’ needs.

Working with family members allows Sue to know each client is receiving excellent service as well as the highest standard of care. Sue says, “We are a great team and are truly thankful for our client’s trust.” Sue recalls, “Often, when I first meet a client, the look of sadness and despair is evident on their face. Through the process, we are blessed to bond over tears, laughter and empathy.”

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

Sue continues, “Sometimes families are unaware of the options available to them and their loved ones.

As I walk them through the many options available, a wonderful transformation takes place. It’s almost like our clients feel a heavy weight has been lifted from their shoulders.”

Sue says, “We have had so many wonderful experiences through the years with our clients. Some have gone through rehabilitation and have been able to return to their homes, while others haven’t returned home because of the level of care needed. But we’ve be able to help settle them in to a safe and loving environment with 24 hour care to meet their needs— bringing peace to their families and loved ones.

Sue says with a smile, “As a resource center for seniors, we have had requests for all kinds of needs, but my favorite is when a bright eyed cowboy walked into my office with a great smile. I was thinking he must have a loved one in need of our help. I asked what we could do for him. He explained how his home was paid off, and he had a good monthly income and all his teeth, and said all he needed was a woman to move in with him a share the rest of our lives together. Unfortunately, I had to tell him that kind of matchmaking wasn’t a service we offered.”
