FROM THE EDITOR When I think of May, I’m reminded of the sacrifices of so many soldiers who have given their lives to protect the freedom of our great country. All of us at The Grand Season are so grateful for their service.

I hope this Memorial Day you take time to remember those you‘ve lost, and appreciate the freedom we enjoy each day.

There’s much to celebrate this month. In addition to Memorial Day, there’s The Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Graduation (kindergarten, grade school, middle school, high school and college).

All of these events provide an opportunity to spend time loved ones and encourage those transitioning to new seasons of life.

I hope you enjoy this month’s issue. We worked hard to provide a magazine that’s full of creative ideas for celebrating life with those you love and hold dear.

Enjoy the journey!

In less than a month, “Beauty and the Beast” joined the $1 billion club (already making it the 25th top-grossing film). Dan Stevens, who plays the Beast, is so hot he has three films awaiting release: the thriller “Marshall,” with Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad and Kate Hudson, due Oct. 13; the romantic comedy “Permission,” with Rebecca Hall and Jason Sudeikis; and “The Man Who Invented Christmas,” in which he plays Charles Dickens.

IT’S TIME

For the past few months patients have been asking me if I am about to retire. I asked back, “do I look that bad?” And then I looked in the mirror and saw an old man. For the past 35 years I have had the pleasure of treating some of the most wonderful people I would ever wish to meet. You are kind, conscientious, appreciative, loving and were patient with my antics. I will miss you terribly! A toast to you all.

I am leaving my core group, Dr. Bozena Wolniak, Michelle, Claire and Sherry who will still be around to coddle you.

ANTIQUE ANSWERS Q: I have the “Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin” board game and magic brass-ring set. I’m not interested in selling, but wondered what they might be worth?

A: Warner Brothers introduced The Wonder Dog in 1923, and the talented German Shepherd became an instant star and generated so much money he actually saved the studio from bankruptcy. Rin-TinTin starred in 19 films for Warner Brothers between 1923 and 1930. Your board game is valued in the $50 to $150 range, depending on condition, according to Ted Hake’s Price Guide of Character Toys. If your brass-ring collection is complete it could be worth as much $600.

Q: I have two 78-rpm records, “Like a Dream” recorded by Caruso, and “Song of India” as cut by violinist Fritz Kreisler.

Do they have any value?

A: Your 78s are worth about a dollar each.

Despite rumors to the contrary, most of the Victor Red Deal recordings by Caruso have very little value.

You might be surprised to learn that Helen Keller, best known as the first blind and deaf person to earn a bachelor’s degree, loved performing. She spent years on vaudeville tours, and in 1919 she starred in “Deliverance,” a silent film about her life.

In the Canadian town of Churchill, Manitoba, most people don’t lock their car doors. The primary motivation for this practice isn’t trust (although, of course, trust is required), but public safety: A pedestrian who unexpectedly encounters a bear will be able to find refuge in any car along the street.

If you haven’t listened to any new music in a while, chances are you’re over 33. Those who study such things say that’s the age at which Americans would rather stick to what they know than try out new tunes.

RELATIONSHIP RESOLUTIONS

A healthy relationship requires intentional attention

Do you ever find yourself wrapped up in the logistics and monotony of life to the point that you’re too busy to have fun? It’s time to take some time out to explore ideas that will infuse some happiness into your relationship. It’s time to bring the fun back, and create some relationship resolutions to keep your love on track.

Connect With Technology We are all distracted by and sometimes addicted to our phones, computers and social media. We get so drawn into technology that it pulls us out of the present, where we should be interacting with the people we love.

Instead of using your devices to disconnect, use them to connect. Do you find yourself on your phone when you’re at dinner with your mate? Hang up and instead use your phone and send your partner a romantic text message!

Schedule Quality Time It is very easy to get caught up in our jobs, household responsibilities, grandchildren, etc. Often our primary relationship takes the hit in all this chaos. Have the two of you talked about how much you love and adore one another lately? If not, you’re not alone. Busyness and neglect can take a big toll on your relationships. To combat that, plan a weekly or monthly date night so you can communicate more consistently.

Evaluate, Adjust and Improve When you build a business, you stop frequently to evaluate progress and makes changes accordingly.

Relationships work in very much the same way. It is important to take stock of how your relationship is doing. Are you happy with the level of intimacy and time spent together? Do you feel like you handle conflict efficiently? Make a resolution to assess these things more often and then make adjustments and improvements as needed.

Make a plan to be more intentional and have more fun with your partner. Try harder, do better and be closer!

Invest time and energy into your partnership and you will be rewarded.

VETERAN’S POST

ACCOUNTABILITY FALLS SHORT

Current measures to protect vets from drug abuse are indequate

The Government Accountability Office has found serious problems with the way the Department of Veterans Affairs handles controlled substances and guards against having those drugs stolen by VA employees. Out of four facilities the GAO was asked to review, one had missed its required monthly inspection of patient-care areas and the pharmacy 43 percent of the time. Three facilities failed to follow three of the nine requirements for handling controlled substances.

Consider what happens when an addict pharmacy worker either takes or changes the drugs he or she is to deliver to a hospital ward or surgical unit. There was a case where an employee had been confiscating fentanyl (an anesthetic) destined for surgery patients and was using it for himself—while refilling the vials with saline solution. The GAO report concluded in part that the VA’s “ability to detect diversion and protect its veterans from harm—such as depriving them of needed pain medications—is limited.”

MOMENTS IN TIME

May 11, 1864 At the Battle of Yellow Tavern near Richmond, Virginia, a Union trooper fatally wounds Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, who dies the next day. Stuart’s leadership helped the Confederates maintain a superior cavalry force in Virginia for most of the war.

May 12, 1932 More than two months after he was kidnapped, the body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh’s 20-month old baby is found less than a mile from his family’s home in Hopewell, New Jersey.

Although Lindbergh received two ransom notes, his son had been killed the night of the kidnapping. Over two years later, Richard Hauptmann is arrested.

May 13, 1972 A fire at the Playtown Cabaret in Osaka, Japan, kills 118 people. An electrician three floors below in a department store inadvertently set off a fire that reached some oil-soaked rags in a nearby storage room and climbed the elevator shafts.

May 18, 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks lefthander Randy Johnson becomes the oldest pitcher in major league history to throw a perfect game, leading his team to a 2-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves. A “perfect game” is when a pitcher faces a minimum 27 batters, recording 27 outs.

Toss Your Junk When you’re ready to get rid of the junk, start in the area that contains the bulk of your possessions, like the bedroom or hallway closets. Tackling the problem head-on and getting the worst part over with first will help motivate you to complete the project.

Keep Clutter at Bay Always put belongings back in their designated spot. It’s easy to finish eating and think, “I’ll put these dishes in the dishwasher later” or skip putting laundry away when you’re in a rush. Small decisions about clutter can quickly turn into a big mess.

Pretty soon, you’ll be overwhelmed by the clothes scattered on the floor and the dishes covering the kitchen counter. Then you’ll be forced to spend a good hour or two putting belongings away.

Avoid the Pile Get in the habit of putting things away when you’re done with them. It might seem like a hassle at first, but this small change in your daily to-do list will have a positive impact on your weekly cleaning routine.

Use Extra Wall Space for Storage If a lack of storage space is constantly causing clutter, take advantage of bare wall space to install shelves or hang belongings, like coffee cups, bags or hats.

This simple trick can enhance your home’s style and maximize storage. Don’t spend more time than you have to on cleaning! A few good new habits are all you need to streamline your routine and open up more time for fun!

TIP 1 Hang brooms and mops to preserve their useful life. The bristles of a tightly packed broom are better at sweeping than loose bristles.

TIP 2 Clean the stainless steel surface of your kitchen appliances with Pledge or similar furniture polish.

Fingerprints will be banished, and they’ll truly shine!

TIP 3 For those of you who use a lot of hairspray when styling, you end up with a thin layer on your hairbrushes.

After removing any hair from the brush, spray it with laundry spot remover and toss it in the dishwasher. It will come out clean and free of buildup!

TIP 4 High five if you’re using refillable water bottles instead of plastic disposable ones. To keep them fresh, rinse weekly with a 10 percent bleach and water solution. Let them air dry completely, then simply fill with water and stash in the fridge for easy access!

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 10 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 Monday-Thursday, and 11:00 am to 10:00 pm Friday and Saturday. They’re closed on Sundays through the summer.

FRESH START

START YOUR DAY RIGHT

Eating breakfast supercharges your health

Don’t blow off breakfast. Really. It’s a daily choice that millions of people shrug off as no big deal, but research proves breakfast is an important component in how you feel throughout the day.

Fueling up solely on java may perk you up momentarily (and thank goodness for that kick start), but it doesn’t do the trick long-term.

Wonder how breakfast boosts your health? Check out these reasons why breakfast shouldn’t be ignored: Awakens your metabolism When you eat breakfast, you “break the fast” from sleep and give your metabolism a wake-up call. When you sleep, your metabolism slows and you burn fewer calories. By eating a nutritious breakfast, you spark your internal engine so it burns more calories and gives you more energy throughout the day!

Helps you focus Hunger can make people irritable (thus the term ‘hangry’) and it’s hard to focus on work or school when your stomach is grumbling. By eating a balanced breakfast of fat, protein and fiber, the food is processed into energy over time, and that allows you to feel fuller, longer.

Steadies the burn When you skip breakfast, the body panics for nutrition.

For steady energy and efficient calorie-burning, eat a nutritious breakfast and other meals on schedule. Adults and children do best when they have a meal or a snack every two hours.

Encourages healthy choices People who eat breakfast tend to make healthier choices throughout the day. It might be because they have the energy to think straight. According to MayoClinic.org, “People who eat breakfast tend to eat a healthier overall diet, one that is more nutritious and lower in fat.” Good things all begin with a good breakfast.

Let’s face it, being ‘hangry’ isn’t a great way to start anyone’s day, so give yourself the best chance for a good day with a great breakfast.

ON MOTHER’S DAY

GIVE

Give Mom what she really wants this year

Jewelry, flowers and chocolates are great, but here’s a list of what moms we polled really want for Mother’s Day. While these ideas might seem more practical than romantic, they will certainly make her day better.

Then again, you could just go with one mom’s spirited response, which can pretty much be summed up in saying, “I want a Wonder Woman cape, preferably made out of diamonds, along with a printed statement on the wall for all to see, ‘You were right about everything, and we’d be lost without you.’”

Sleep Moms think going to sleep when they are tired on Saturday and awakening on their own without the alarm clock on Sunday is a dream come true. It’s 100 percent free! And if she’s had a good night’s sleep she’ll enjoy her day more.

let us make your dream kitchen a beautiful reality!

Clean house Being a mom is stressful, and coming home to a clean house, even if it only lasts 10 minutes, is like a little slice of heaven. Hire a professional for a treat once a month.

Spa day Moms of all ages think a massage, mani/pedi or facial are all wonderful gifts to show appreciation to mom.

Car wash A vehicle free from dirt and clutter is like a dream come true. Want to go one step further? Get it detailed and she will feel like she hit the lottery.

Make dinner Find a way to give her a break from making dinner, including the grocery shopping, for one week. It would free her up enjoy more quality time with family and friends for the entire week.

The best things in life are free The gifts we will treasure forever are the homemade cards and photo frames from our children/grandchildren that remind us what a blessing it truly is to be a mom.

SALSA ADDS SPICE TO SNAPPER Comfort foods made fast and healthy

If you’re looking for a way to change up your favorite fish recipe, try adding salsa! There are many different kinds you can try. Salsa roja is a red sauce meant to be served warm, usually over enchiladas. Salsa verde is a green sauce made with tomatillos. Salsa ranchera means “ranch style” and is typically made of tomatoes and chilies cooked together. There’s also salsa cruda or salsa fresca. You also can find commercially packaged salsas in a variety of flavors, including mango, peach and pineapple. The levels of heat of the salsas range from mild to fiery-hot.

This recipe for spicy Salsa Snapper serves eight and takes just 22 minutes to prepare and cook. Serve over angelhair pasta, rice or cous cous. It’s also delicious served on thick slices of toast that have been rubbed with a clove of garlic and brushed with olive oil.

Ingredients • 2 pounds red snapper, cod or other lean fish fillets • 2 large tomatoes, chopped (2 cups) • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup) • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup) • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup Progresso chicken broth (from 32 oz. carton) Instructions 1. Cut fish fillets into 8 serving pieces. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat skillet over medium heat.

2. Arrange fish in single layer in skillet. Cook uncovered 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove fish to warm platter; keep warm.

3. Cook remaining ingredients except broth in skillet over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until bell pepper and onion are crisp-tender. Stir in broth; heat through. Spoon tomato mixture over fish.

NEW YORK CITY “Bucket List” Holiday & Event Packages!

Family Hotel & Entertainment Vacations!

Fifty Shades Darker (R) This second installment in the movie franchise based on the obscenely well-sold erotica books offers more less-wild-than-you’d-think sex scenes packaged in a degradingly dumb romantic plot. Chiseled billionaire bedroom badboy Christian (Jamie Dornan) wants Ana (Dakota Johnson) back. Ana says she wants independence, before handing control of her life and career to Christian in exchange for lavish wealth and sexy times in a really nice shower.

Things to Come (R) After 25 years of marriage, Nathalie (Isabelle Huppert) learns that her husband (Andre Marcon) is moving in with his much-younger lover. Nathalie still has “intellectual fulfillment” as a professor of philosophy, with strong bonds to her adult children and former students. As she explores the newfound freedom, a former student (Roman Kolinka) appears as a potential romance. Huppert’s performance already has award rumors popping up, and there’s a nice balance between coping with loss while embracing new beginnings and facing life’s ongoing struggles.

YOUR HOME HOME MAINTENANCE

For safety’s sake, taking care of the home should be a priority When was the last time you checked out your roof? Or cleaned the dryer exhaust hose? Proper home maintenance can

preserve your home, while saving you money and future headaches.

Research indicates Americans have alarmingly poor upkeep habits.

Here are four commonly overlooked areas of the home that should be regularly inspected and maintained: Inspect your roof Replacing or repairing a roof is one of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have, with an average cost of $6,600 to install

a new one. Insurance doesn’t generally cover normal wear and tear—just things like damage from storms.

Unclog gutters While you’re checking on your roof, take a peek at the gutters. Twenty-four percent of homeowners say they never care for their gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters can cause water to flow down the sides of your home and pool around its foundation

which can lead to major issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls and interior water damage. This type of claim, also known as seepage, is often not covered under your home insurance policy.

Clean dryer exhaust One in five homeowners admit they never clean their clothes dryer ducts.

Dryers cause roughly 15,500 home structure fires, 29 deaths, 400 injuries and $192 million in direct property loss each year. It’s easier than climbing on the roof, so take a moment to do this important safety inspection.

Check the furnace Any appliance that has fire as part of its function should be regularly checked. But only 36 percent of homeowners have their furnaces inspected and serviced at least once a year. Which means U.S. fire departments respond to an estimated average of 56,000 home fires involving heating equipment.

Protect your family and your investment with proper maintenance. If you don’t know how to do these tasks, ask a friend or professional. And if you’re unsure what your policy covers, contact your insurance agent.

DO YOU HAVE BRAND LOYALTY?

Four reasons to give store brands a second look

Chances are, you either have or have been tempted to grab that unassuming product next to your favorite national brand. Afraid to take the chance and be disappointed? Fear not, savvy shopper. Here are four reasons store bands may be a smart (and quality-based) choice.

Performance and Innovations Early store brands had a reputation for mimicking the winning qualities of national brands, but many of today’s private labels are leading the way. It’s not unusual to find store brands launching their own innovations and bringing a new standard of performance to private label brands.

Quality and Value Innovation by store brands could explain why 71 percent of store brand buyers say the quality of private label brands has improved, according to one Nielsen study. While a quarter of American shoppers describe store brands as an extremely good value, it’s clear that cost is no longer the only benefit of private label products. For food items in particular, most taste-testers felt store brands tasted as good as, and in some cases better, than national brands.

Choice and Convenience Store brands are available in virtually every product category—from prepared foods and meats, dairy and eggs, to health and beauty items, including diapers.

So don’t be afraid to try the store brand. With so many choices, you’re sure to find a few products you really like.

Same Sources and Standards You can rest assured that store brands are held to the same regulatory standards of quality, safety and source as national brands. In fact, some store brands even come from the same facilities as national brands. It used to be that the no-frills packaging of store brands were primarily for people on a tight budget. These days, store brands still offer a price break, but they have the added value of great quality and some cool product innovations. So give the store brand alternatives a shot and see which products are better options than your old standbys.

TRAVEL

SMART HACKS REVEALED

Tips so good they’ll make your ticket worth it

Flying, especially during the summer, can be a little bit less than heartwarming. Between pesky TSA agents, crowded lines, and overpriced airport food, it seems impossible to keep up that vacation spirit. Take a breath, and get ready to a fly a little smarter.

You can travel with alcohol Even most frequent fliers don’t know about this helpful tip! It’s true—you can actually bring your own alcohol on the plane. Over your shock? Good, because it’s true. All you need to do is ensure that your bottles are 100 ml or less, and are kept in an 8-by-8-inch plastic storage bag. Just keep in mind that it is not legal to consume your own alcohol on a plane. You can bring it—you just can’t drink it.

Ask to be upgraded Have you ever walked through an empty first class, only to have to sit in a packed coach section? Sure,

it’s frustrating, and it really shouldn’t happen, but sometimes there are booking errors made by the airlines. So, if you’ve ever wanted to experience the luxury treatment, just ask to be upgraded at the gate.

You’ll be surprised by how often this works! If you don’t ask the answer will always be “no!”

Carry an empty water bottle Buying a bottle of water after going through the security line is almost always ridiculously expensive.

In fact, they’re often so pricey that it’s tempting to forgo water altogether, even though we all know that staying hydrated during air travel is essential.

So, don’t buy water—get it for free!

Bring an empty bottle with you and fill up in the terminal. Several airports are even starting to offer free filtered water. Just check near the restrooms and you may see one of these handy stations.

Charge your phone in airplane mode Between looking up directions, restaurant reviews, and in some cases, the local language, we all end up using our phones quite a bit—and we need them to charge super fast! To do this, go to the “Settings” tab on your phone and select “Airplane Mode.” In some cases, your phone will end up charging twice as fast!

Sun City Awning & Patio Looking to Escape the Heat? They’ve Got You Covered!

Sun City Awning & Patio has been a leader in selling and installing shade products for almost 50 years in the Valley of the Sun. Since 1971, Sun City Awning & Patio has pride themselves in transforming their customer’s backyards and patios into a cool oasis all year round.

“Sun City Awning & Patio features more shade options than any of our competitors,” says second-generation owner Brian Beachy.

“We carry an impressive variety of products, including aluminum or fabric patio covers, retractable awnings, window awnings, movable louvered patio covers, patio blinds, security shutters, sun screens, screen rooms and interior shades.”

Sun City Awning & Patio specializes in products that provide shade and sun control. Retractable awnings and fixed patio covers not only increase your outdoor living spaces, but studies show that shade reduces

temperature on your house and patio surfaces by 30 degrees, which can cut cooling costs by as much as 30 percent. Just as effective are patio blinds that roll down around your patio to block out early morning and late afternoon sun. To further reduce damaging UV rays from entering your home, retractable screens and window awnings protect from direct sunlight.

As the largest company of its type in Arizona, Sun City Awning & Patio custom builds all their products. They’ve grown through their reputation of being the best. If you’re ready to spruce up and enjoy your backyard again, call for a no-commitment consultation.

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.”

HIDDEN DANGERS

FAMILY

Five tips for protecting your grandchildren at your home

Even in the most safety-minded homes, serious hazards for children can be hiding in plain sight.

Knowing which unexpected items can be risky, and what to do to prevent an accident, could change your grandchild’s future. Many grandparents know the top child proofing tasks to complete: covering electrical outlets, locking kitchen cabinets and securing baby gates on stairs. Other serious child safety hazards are often overlooked. Child safety advocates urge caregivers to address these five areas of risk: Windows Install cordless window coverings or those with inaccessible cords in homes with young children.

Replace blinds, corded shades and draperies with items that are cordless or have inaccessible cords.

To prevent falling accidents from windows, install windows that open from the top instead of from the

bottom. Window guards are also an excellent idea for multi-level homes Plants Make sure to keep these common but dangerous plants out of your child’s reach: Rhododendron, Lily of the Valley, Hydrangea, Poinsettia, Purple Nightshade, Mountain Laurel, Mistletoe and Water Hemlock.

Cars Keep vehicles locked and keys out of reach of children. Even on a day when it’s only 72 degrees, the temperature inside a vehicle can increase by 30 to 40 degrees in an hour, and 70 percent of this increase occurs in the first 30 minutes.

Furniture and TVs Heavy furniture and TVs can quickly become very top heavy with a curious, climbing child aboard. Anchor those items to prevent a toppling tragedy.

Playgrounds Check before you play. Playgrounds with slides, swings, and other items that sit in direct sunlight can cause burns for children—even when it’s not that hot outside.
