FROM THE EDITOR For most, the first long weekend of September indicates cooler temperatures are in the forecast. But here in Arizona, we know our summer will continue for another month or two.

The best part of September for many is that football season has arrived. We’re hoping it’s a strong season for our Cardinals. This month, I hope you’ll have the opportunity to get out and experience the best the Valley has to offer.

Whether it’s going to a concert, Broadway show, Cardinals game or something else that’s fun!

If you’re looking to make some changes to your home before your company begins to arrive, call Cobalt Properties, Inc. They can help you from concept to completion.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season, and for the local business owners who make our publication possible.

I hope you have a great month, and get out often to enjoy our beautiful community.

Dame Helen Mirren, who won an Oscar for “The Queen” (2006) and appeared most recently in “The Fate of the Furious,” stars in “Ella & John,” with Donald Sutherland, opening Jan. 19, about a senior couple taking a road trip from Boston to Florida in a vintage Winnebago. Next up is “Winchester” (out Feb. 23) as Sarah Winchester, whose husband, William Winchester, treasurer of The Winchester Repeating Arms Co., and daughter died suddenly, three weeks apart, in 1881.

Anne Hathaway, Oscar winner for “Les Miserables” (2012), who impressed with “Ella Enchanted” (2004) and “The Dark Knight” (2012), is taking on the role of her career—she will be playing “Barbie.” Yes, that Barbie, who’s been kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough. Hathaway’s girl power continues to rule with the female reboot of “Ocean’s Eleven,” called “Ocean’s Eight,” with Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Rihanna, opening June 8, 2018.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Standing desks have become quite popular in recent years, but they are not a new invention.

They reportedly were used by such notable historical figures as Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Woolf and Winston Churchill.

It’s been reported that 16th-century English theologian John Wesley, founder of Methodism, never ate an evening meal.

Yes, zebras run in herds.

It is more interesting, though—and just as correct—to call such a group a dazzle of zebras or a zeal of zebras.

If you’re planning a trip to India, keep in mind that in that country, it’s considered rude to whistle in public.

CMYK ART If you saw two ships run into each other, you’d likely call it a collision— and you’d be correct if both boats were moving at the time. Technically speaking, though, if one of the boats is stationary, it’s known as an allision.

Know yourself Follow your gut and understand what works and what doesn’t for your body. From gluten and dairy to nuts and fried foods, and way too much sugar in just about everything made in a factory, it’s important to bring awareness to how your body handles certain ingredients. A holistic-minded, general medical practitioner can help you identify the food sources that make your gut more likely to swell.

GAS RELIEF

THINKING AHEAD

Simple ways to relieve bloating

Bloating is not only uncomfortable, but it can be particularly inconvenient when you want to look and feel your best. While symptoms can seem unpredictable, there are simple and natural ways you can prevent and relieve both bloating and gas.

Increase your fiber Fiber is essential for your digestive system. What you may not know is that certain types of fiber called prebiotics feed the bacteria in your gut. Examine your diet and add whole foods rich in prebiotic fiber to ensure you’re getting enough each day.

Eat mindfully Overeating, as well as eating too quickly, causes air to get trapped in your digestive tract. Eat mindfully and slowly. It’ll help you feel fuller faster and keep your abdomen in-check.

Consider digestive enzymes The enzymes in your digestive system break down food so it can nourish your body. Sadly, the number of enzymes in your body decreases as you get older or more stressed out, which opens the door for gas, bloating and irregularity.

Take an enzyme supplement If you don’t want to take pills, try eating more enzymerich foods, such as raw fruits and veggies. Also, be sure to find some time to shake off daily stress.

For confidence and comfort, take steps to support your wellness and relieve dreadful gas and bloating by focusing on your digestive health. Your body will thank you for it.

TIP 4 Use charcoal in the bathroom to prevent humidity from turning into mildew. Put a few charcoal bricks into a small open container, like a bowl.

Then just tuck it behind the toilet. It traps excess moisture.

HOME HEALTH CARE

HEALTH

Why do we refuse it?

Far too many of us say no to help when we’re discharged from the hospital or rehab, even though studies have shown that too often we end up even worse off when we refuse home health care. Why do we make these choices?

• The situation isn’t correctly explained to us. Worse is if the hospital doesn’t understand the Medicare guidelines and doesn’t offer us home health care. There’s a difference between “home care” and “home health care.” One involves skilled care and the other personal care. If we’re on Medicare and have functional limitations, Medicare will pay for home health care services.

• We don’t know who is paying for it.

• Discharge information is confusing, especially if it involves new medications.

• We don’t want strangers in our homes. (Or we’ll agree to it while we’re still in the hospital, just to get them to leave us alone, but once care workers show up, we won’t let them in.)

• We don’t think we need help or that relatives will help us.

• We had a negative experience in the past with home health care.

What happens if we refuse care?

A fair percentage of us will be readmitted to the hospital within 30 to 60 days. We might be in worse shape than the first time we went in, especially if we don’t take the medications correctly or we end up with an infection.

Be smart. If you’re being discharged from the hospital or rehab, ask whether you’re getting a “nurse visit” within 24 hours. If you get a blank look, start asking more questions.

At the same time, if you’re told you will get home health care and you don’t like it, accept the situation at least for a few weeks. Your health depends on it.

In an amazing show of cooperation, both the House and Senate pushed a new GI bill through in only a few weeks. The biggest change is that there will no longer be a 15-year limit on using educational benefits.

Other changes include: • Expanded benefits to surviving spouses and dependents of service members who died in the line of duty • Veterans who were partway through their education when their school abruptly closed will be able to have benefits restored for any credits that don’t transfer.

• Reservists and Purple Heart recipients will now get their benefits.

• Veterans who seek degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) will get more benefits.

• Schools will be required to train those who help enroll veterans, and to provide more campus vocation and educational counseling.

None of this happens today. Some changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2018, and some next August.

Some may not even happen for a few years.

A Family Man (R) Dane Jensen (Gerard Butler) is a self-proclaimed headhunter, certain of his importance and full of confidence.

His recruitment firm is a hard-driving boiler room, the kind in which a boss (Willem Dafoe) deliberately creates a competitive atmosphere by pitting rival against rival (Alison Brie) for a promotion to general manager. Just when his success seems a lock, his personal life comes crashing down. His young son is diagnosed with a terrifying illness, causing him to re-evaluate what once seemed important and redefine what the parameters of success truly are.

Dean (PG-13) Dean is an artist whose pen and Bristol board drawings illustrate his life and relationships. His mother has recently passed away, and turbulence begins as his father, Robert (Kevin Kline), decides it’s time to sell the family home.

Demitri Martin writes, directs and stars in this story as simple as Dean’s drawings. As Dean meanders through friendship, courtship and kinship, we discover that life is not always black and white, nor can love be expressed as freely as a felt-tip pen on paper. Gillian Jacobs and Mary Steenburgen also star.

TECH REPORT

HOW TECH SAVVY ARE WE?

Studies show seniors are gravitating more toward devices

According to a recent Pew Research Center study, more and more senioes are adopting technology into their lives.

Seniors are using cellphones, tablets, computers, the internet, social media—all of it.

Here are couple interesting stats Pew uncovered: • Some 42 percent of seniors own smartphones, a number that has quadrupled in the past few years. Age plays a part, with 59 percent of the 65-69 group owning smartphones. When it’s any type of cellphone (not just a smartphone), the number is significantly higher.

• An average 67 percent of seniors are on the internet, but again, use depends on age. The 65-69 group

comes in at 82 percent. Those with a college education rated a whopping 92 percent. Three-quarters of seniors are on the internet daily; once they get used to it, they apparently like it, especially for news and games.

• Half of seniors have internet at home, and income plays a part in this. Those who earn more than $75,000 are significantly more likely to have internet access at home than those who have incomes below $30,000.

• One-third of seniors are on social media, and one-third of us own a tablet.

• In spite of the stats, not many seniors feel confident when it comes to using the new technology. Nearly half need someone to help set up the new devices they get.

But that’s okay. As long as you get help to hook everything up and install software, it doesn’t matter where it comes from, be it the nearest 15-year-old or the company’s tech support staff. And if you get stuck, there’s always the internet to look to for help!

SAFETY

GRANDPARENTS WHO ARE PARENTING

Tips for keeping kids safe when you’re the one raising youngsters

According to data from The Pew Charitable Trusts, 2.9 million grandparents were raising their grandchildren in 2015 compared with 2.5 million in 2005. Oftentimes, grandparents become primary caregivers due to unforeseen circumstances. Here are three things those taking on this responsibility should consider.

Protect Their Financial Future A recent study found 30 percent of all households don’t have life insurance.

Grandparents should be sure their coverage is up to date. They might also consider purchasing term insurance (life insurance issued for a limited period of time). More affordable than a whole life policy, it provides financial security for the golden years, helps supplement retirement income and can assist with final expenses. A term life insurance policy can even help pay off a mortgage, so grandparents can have peace of mind knowing that dependents have a roof over

their heads and can also be used for other child-rearing expenses, such as college tuition.

Keep Them Safe Accidental injury is the leading cause of death for children up to 14 years old, and more than a third of accident-related deaths happen in the home, reports KidsHealth. To create a safe living environment for younger children, secure large furniture to walls, purchase safety gates for staircases, and install outlet covers, corner protectors, security locks and appliance latches. It might also be a good time to update in-home safety features for grandparents, too. Handrails provide better grip on staircases, and anti-slip mats and grab bars in the bathroom can add extra stability.

Promote Smarter Driving Encourage teens to drive safely. A 2015 statistic from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says six teens die every day in car crashes in the US, and this is the number one killer of teens. Distracted driving is the cause of 58 percent of teen-involved traffic crashes, according to the National Organization for Youth Safety.

Remind your grandkids about the dangers of texting, using apps and changing the radio station while driving.

TOO OLD FOR A PET?

SENIOR NEWS

It turns out that we might need them as much as they need us

One of the saddest things I’ve overheard lately was a woman who had just lost her very senior cat. She had loved that cat for years and would have made a great owner for another one from the local shelter.

But she hesitated, afraid she would die before the cat did, and then the cat would go to the shelter and possibly be put down.

I hope there aren’t many of you who feel that way.

Shelters are full of cats and dogs that need love, and seniors can be the best pet owners around.

Consider what a cat or dog can do for you. If you have a dog, it needs to be walked at least once a day. That’s exercise for you, and

often it can lead to more social interaction as you meet others doing the same thing. Maybe a pet-walking group will form in the neighborhood.

Any pet needs regular meals and water, and maybe even medication if you adopt one with special needs. That keeps us on track with a daily schedule. Cats and dogs can be comical, making you laugh, and just having a pet around is shown to reduce stress. Cats need to be brushed every day and generally love that bonding time.

Dogs love to go to the groomer if you can’t do it yourself.

If you hesitate to have a pet now because you might not outlive it, make arrangements in advance. Put your wishes in writing, notify your children or attorney that the document exists, put an “In case of emergency” note on the inside of your door, and then take a stroll through the local animal shelter. Look for a wagging tail or the eyes that meet yours.

Whatever your meeting or party needs, let Corte Bella Country Club be your Solution!

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

MOMENTS IN TIME

Big events that occurred in the month of September

September 11, 1985 Cincinnati Reds player-manager Pete Rose gets the 4,192nd hit of his career, breaking Ty Cobb’s majorleague record. Rose retired in 1986, but remained in his position as manager until 1989, when he was banned from baseball for gambling on Reds games.

September 11, 2001 At 8:45 a.m., an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.

The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. Then, 18 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center, and sliced into the south tower at about the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack.

September 13, 1814 Francis Scott Key pens a poem that is later set to music and in 1931 becomes America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The poem, originally titled “The Defence of Fort McHenry,” was written after Key witnessed the Maryland fort being bombarded by the British during the War of 1812.

September 14, 1964 Writer John Steinbeck is presented the U.S. Medal of Freedom. His first novel, “Tortilla Flat,” about the comic antics of several rootless drifters who share a house in California, was published in 1935.

September 15, 1858 The new Overland Mail Company sends out its first two stages, inaugurating government mail service to the western U.S. In 1857, Congress had authorized a $600,000 yearly subsidy for whatever company could transport the mail twice a week from St. Louis to San Francisco in less than 25 days.

September 16, 1943 James Alan McPherson, the first black man to win a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is born in Savannah, Georgia. His Pulitzerwinning short story collection, “Elbow Room,” was published in 1977.

1. 10cc, in 1973. The guitar track was recorded at half speed, which went up an octave when played at regular speed.

2. American rock band Cheap Trick, in 1977. The song was used in the video game “Band Hero” and in an episode of “Dawson’s Creek.”

3. George Michael, in 1986. He was still a member of Wham! at the time, but he and his partner had already agreed to part ways.

4. “Name,” in 1995, although their song “Iris” was more popular.

5. “Ode to Billie Joe,” by Bobbie Gentry, 1967. In the song, two young people are seen “throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge,” but we’re not told what it is. Shortly after that, Billie Joe jumps off the bridge, killing himself.

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.”
