As we launch into Fall, I hope you and yours have an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the great weather that is coming our way! I also hope you spend time reconnecting with your friends and neighbors who may be returning to the Valley after spending the summer away.

Make the most of the fall make up trends

What can you add to your make up drawer to be on trend for fall? Here are 5 quick tips to be sensational this fall and winter.

BIG LASHES/ COMMANDING BROWS Skinny brows step back! Bolder fuller brows are back, along with big bold lashes.

Lash extensions or just a bold mascara can build fuller longer lashes.

BOLD PINK EYESHADOW Punch up the eyelid color with a bold stroke of bright pink eyeshadow applied liberally over the entire eyelid.

PINCHED CHEEK TONES Give cheeks a healthy natural glow with soft color to look as if you just stepped out in the cold. Try a cream or gel texture to look soft and natural.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

MOMENTS IN TIME

Big events that occurred in the month of October

October 17, 1931 Gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion and fined $80,000, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and 1930s. Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1899 to Italian immigrants.

October 18, 1867 U.S. takes possession of Alaska after purchasing the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than two cents an acre. At the time, it was not known that gold was there. The Alaska purchase comprised 586,412 square miles, about twice the size of Texas, and was championed by William Henry Seward.

October 22, 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis begins. In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F. Kennedy announces that U.S. spy planes have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba. These missile sites—

under construction but nearing completion—housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C. October 26, 1881 The Earp brothers face off against the ClantonMcLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. After silver was discovered nearby in 1877, Tombstone quickly grew into one of the richest mining towns in the Southwest.

The struggle between these two groups for control of Tombstone and Cochise County ended in a blaze of gunfire at the OK Corral.

October 27, 1904 The New York City subway opens at 2:35 on the afternoon. New York City Mayor George McClellan takes the controls in the inaugural run of the city’s innovative new rapid transit system. While London boasts the world’s oldest underground train network (opened in 1863), the New York City subway soon became the largest American system.

Custom Shutters Built to last a lifetime

October 30, 1938 Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of “War of the Worlds”—a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth. Orson Welles was only 23 years old when his Mercury Theater company decided to update his novel for national radio.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor (PG-13) It’s no surprise that director Morgan Neville’s “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is the highest-grossing biographical documentary of all time. Over the course of 31 seasons of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood,” Fred Rogers was a man who modeled empathy, hope, acceptance and, without fail, love for all of us, big and small.

Adrift (PG-13) This tale of disaster, resilience and romance set on the high seas stars Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin.

When Tami Oldham (Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Claflin) meet and fall in love in Tahiti, then are booked to sail a yacht from Tahiti to San Diego. Into their path, a category 5 hurricane develops, which they miraculously survive.

When Sharp is physically incapacitated, Oldham must somehow work to save them both against all odds.

MONEY

LIVING SOLEY ON SOCIAL SECURITY Plan ahead to avoid unpleasant surprises

A big percentage of retired seniors only have Social Security for income. The average Social Security benefit is $1,409.91 per month. Taken together, those two facts can be scary, but less so if you make plans in advance.

If you know you’ll have only Social Security, there are big steps you can take now. Consider moving to a location with a lower cost of living. Share your home with someone. Wait as long as possible before collecting Social Security.

It’s the smaller steps, however, that can make or break your efforts to live only on Social Security. Start your planning a year in advance. Call Social Security and find out what your benefit amount is going to be. Be sure to calculate the deduction that will automatically come out for Medicare.

Practice for at least six months (a year is better) living on that smaller amount to be sure it can be done.

Calculate your monthly expenses and keep track of every dime you spend to identify places you can cut back. Get on a “budget billing” plan for utilities so you’re billed the same amount each month.

Give serious consideration to having a Medicare supplement plan to take care of medical expenses that Medicare doesn’t cover (for more information call Cruz Insurance Advisors at 623-826-2580).

Use your extra money to pay off all credit cards. Have car maintenance done. Pay ahead on property taxes.

Consider what items you need to buy now, while you have income. If self-employed, be aware of your tax situation, and what you’ll owe when.

Become familiar with senior services in your area so you know where and what they are. Think it through before you jump. For many seniors, it’s the only option.

STRANGE BUT TRUE It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: “Everything is funny as long as it’s happening to somebody else.”

If you have spent a great deal of time in the Scottish highlands, you might be familiar with the term “sgiomlaireachd.”

Evidently, the habit of dropping in at mealtimes is common enough there to require a word to describe it.

The world’s most popular fruit is the banana. In the United States, people consume more bananas than apples and oranges put together.

Ever wonder why magazine publisher Hugh Hefner chose a rabbit as the symbol of his Playboy magazine? Evidently, when the mogul was a small boy, one of his treasured possessions was a blanket with bunnies all over 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.”

GRIT

YOU

Cultivate your mental toughness

Life is an amazing journey filled with plenty of ups and downs! During your next storm of life, remember that “Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.”

Here are some tips to help you weather the storms.

1. Resilience in the face of adversity Resilience is an integral part of mental toughness. Resilience or grit, is the ability to keep moving forward in spite of challenges, rejection, setbacks, obstacles and disappointments. It’s the ability to never give up, no matter what.

2. Emotional intelligence Many experts now believe that a person’s emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) may be more important than their IQ, and plays a larger role in the achievement of success, the quality of relationships, and overall happiness. EQ is the ability to understand our own and the emotions and reactions of others.

3. Focus It’s possible to develop your mental toughness by keeping your attention on your long-term goals and not getting side-tracked by temporary setbacks. An unwavering focus helps you to keep perspective in the face of sudden setbacks. Don’t let short–term profits, negative feedback or a hectic schedule prevent you from taking the next step towards your goal.

4. Commitment Mentally tough people are more consistent than others. They don’t miss deadlines, appointments or meetings. Part of mental toughness is a commitment to always show up, to always deliver and to not get side-tracked; to always finish what you have started.

5. A realistic perspective on failure Knowing how to handle failure is an important aspect of being mentally strong.

Viewing failure as a learning process can stimulate success. This is a case where perspective can really make a difference.

6. An optimistic mind-set People who are mentally tough tend to be optimistic because they have confidence in their ability and they believe in their vision. It’s also an optimistic attitude that sees one through tough times and challenges.

FALL FIXES

HOME

by Courtney Cavanaugh Greger

October is the perfect time to get to those home maintenance items you keep shuffling to the side. The good news is most can be done yourself in a minimal amount of time. Doing the small things on this list will increase the efficiency of your home while keeping your energy costs down!

Change your filters Jump on a ladder and get those fresh air filters in! Don’t forget the one most often missed—the furnace filter (which is usually at the bottom of the unit).

Changing it or cleaning it will make the furnace work more efficiently when the weather cools.

Check weather stripping Can you see a lot of light under that door? Chances are you need new weather stripping to seal it up again. You can buy weather stripping at any home improvement store. Just follow the directions for installation.

Change batteries This is the perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Clean dryer vents A clogged dryer vent can cause fires. Simply remove the silver venting attached to the dryer and vacuum out the vent.

Clean ceiling fan blades When you climb up to reverse the fan’s direction for the winter, clean those fan blades. It’s amazing how much dust they collect!

Clean gutters If your house has gutters, pull out your ladder and clean them out. After the monsoon storms this summer, they are most likely filled with debris. This will keep them clear for the winter storm season.

Call a professional While cleaning gutters do a visual check of your roof.

If you see missing tiles or vents call a professional roofer to inspect and fix them. Also, call the pros for maintenance checks on your heating system. Routine home maintenance will keep your home in top shape.

studies have shown that bookworms tend to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Reading a good book calms the nerves and engages your mind, increasing your ability to face your own life challenges.

Tips to help build your mental strength

We rely on our mental strength to carry us through the twists and turns of life. Those who are mentally strong tend to face adversity with far more ease than those who are struggling to believe in themselves. The following simple suggestions can help you build up your mental and emotional strength.

When you focus on supporting your mind, body and spirit, you will find that you discover the strength within you to face any challenge.

RENOVATE TO AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN!

1. Pursue your passion Inner strength comes from knowing that you are living an authentic life. By giving yourself permission to pursue whatever it is that you are passionate about, you are supporting yourself emotionally and mentally.

2. Become your own best friend It is often said that you cannot love another until you love yourself. A positive self-image is a key ingredient to increasing your mental strength. When you learn to accept and love who you are, you will feel more confident in handling anything that life throws at you.

3. Disconnect from technology We are inundated with technology. With the prevalence of social media in our lives, it is easy to begin comparing yourself to others. Remember that what you see on the screen is only a snapshot of another’s experience. By disconnecting from technology, you will reconnect with your own unique spirit.

4. Spend time with a good book Reading has numerous benefits for the mind, and

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Cherilyn Sarkisian began her career in 1965 with a No. 1 hit record, “I Got You Babe,” as part of the musical duo Sonny and Cher. Fast-forward 53 years, and a 72-yearold Cher is hotter than ever. She’s headlining Las Vegas, at The Park Theater in The MGM Hotel (Oct. 31 to Nov. 17). She has added ABBA songs, including “Dancing Queen,” “Gimme!

Gimme! Gimme!” and “Mamma Mia” into her live shows, and dropped a new album Sept. 28 with ABBA songs. She has been nominated for two Oscars—for “Silkwood” (1984) and “Moonstruck” (1988), for which she won—seven Emmys (one win), six Golden Globes (three wins), eight Grammys (one win), six People’s Choice Awards (one win) and now she’ll receive The Kennedy Center Honors on Dec. 2. Since Cher has won an Emmy, an Oscar and a Grammy, she only needs a Tony Award to become a member of the elite EGOT club of entertainers who’ve won all four awards.
