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!

LET IT GO...

STRESS

Five ways to reduce everyday pressure

Doctor’s appointments, responsibilities, bills— there are so many causes of stress in our lives.

Unfortunately, stress can take a negative toll on one’s health and wellness, particularly if it goes unaddressed for too long. Indeed, common effects of stress include headaches, upset stomach, anxiety, sleep problems and more, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Consider these strategies for relieving stress.

Aromatherapy Scent your home and workspace with stress-relieving scents like lavender, rosemary and peppermint.

Whether you use candles, oils or fresh herbs, this is an easy way to immediately reduce feelings of stress.

THE TRANE

EXPERIENCE COUNTS! Dr. Lee Sorcinelli is a Marquette graduate.

He graduated from ASU with a Bachelors degree in Microbiology. He has been a Dentist for 25 years. He was a Dental Technician for 5 years prior to becoming a Dentist. He has fellowship status in Cosmetic Dentistry from the Las Vegas Institute. He also has fellowship status in Implants from the International Congress of Implantologists.

Dr. Lee Sorcinelli

QUALITY DENTISTRY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and Kids are all welcome. We specialize in bright and healthy smiles!

UNSTOPPABLE

Get outdoors Both exercise and nature can have stress-relieving properties. Combine the two with hiking, biking, and water-based sports.

EVENT

Meditate Many experts agree on the benefits of meditation, from increased positive emotions to the relief of stress and anxiety. And these days, meditation is more accessible than ever, as employers offer mindfulness programs in the workplace, mobile apps in guided meditation abound, and communities and fitness clubs add practices like tai chi and yoga to their rosters.

Enjoy music Music can be an extremely powerful outlet for stress relief, particularly when you’re getting creative and making it yourself. Have the means at home to play a variety of beautiful music so that you can de-stress any time you need.

Journal Keeping a journal can be a good way of putting things in perspective and thinking through the short- and long-term problems and challenges that are causing you stress. Plus, the ritual aspect of what could be made into a daily habit, may have a calming effect on the body and mind.

QUICK TIPS

Brighten Your Home

DAY & NIGHT

A BETTER YOU

Small ways to change your routine

Sometimes the smallest changes to your daily habits can have the biggest impact on your wellness. With that in mind, here are a few easy ways you can change up your routine with the goal of building a better you.

Sit Less Even if you work out regularly, an otherwise sedentary lifestyle can be bad for your health. Be sure to get up throughout the day in order to stretch and walk around. It only takes a minute to reap the benefits, so don’t skip these breaks. Consider installing an app on your phone to remind you at periodic intervals when it’s time to move.

Spice it up If you rely on fat and sugar for the bulk of flavor in your cooking, consider improving your seasoning routines for more nutritional meals. Reduce your reliance on these ingredients without getting bored by adding healthier boosts of flavor to dishes.

Chop fresh herbs onto your pasta or salad, add spices to your stew, include garlic, ginger and even hot peppers in your stir-fry.

Drink more water What are you drinking during the day? If the answer is juice and soda, consider replacing at least some of that with water. Water doesn’t have to be flavorless.

Infuse your water bottle or pitcher with your favorite fruits, vegetables and herbs. From cucumber and strawberry slices to watermelon and mint, you can have fun while hydrating, without resorting to high calorie beverages that offer little or no nutritional value.

Get more sleep Several studies have correlated sleep deprivation with weight gain. The underlying cause of increased obesity risk from sleep disruption is unclear but may relate to changes in appetite, metabolism, motivation, physical activity or a combination of factors. Focusing on sweeping lifestyle changes can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed. For lasting and meaningful impacts on your health and wellness, find small tweaks you can make to your daily routine.

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 Alka-Seltzer tablets in a flushed toilet and letting them bubble and sit overnight. In the morning, scrub with a toilet brush and flush until clear.

TIP 4 Peeling a boiled potato?

Drop it quickly in an ice bath, and the skin may just slip right off! If you prep peeled potatoes, be sure to keep them submerged in water and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to keep them from browning.

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.

BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY 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.”

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.”

Getting Things Done by David Allen 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.

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.

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.

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.

KEEPING A TIDY HOUSE WITH PETS

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.

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 prevent that shedding fur from ending up everywhere.

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

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.

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.”

PAWS CORNER 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.

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.

SHAKE IT UP...

GROWTH

Find inspiration by living life

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.

3. Find new surroundings The physical space around us has a surprising impact on our thought processes. Spending time brainstorming away from the desk can be surprisingly productive.

4. Broaden your horizons Traveling is a great way to see how the rest of the world lives. You can get inspiration from seeing new ways of doing things or discovering needs you didn’t know existed.

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.

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.

KINDNESS

• Give a card to celebrate a child’s achievement.

Find a blank card or make a card and inscribe it with a message celebrating a child’s act of kindness, athletic achievement, good grades— whatever. Kids love getting their own cards.

Small acts that can make the world a better place

• Clean up your language. It’s easy to fall into the habit of using profanity, and it sounds anything but kind to those around you.

• Send a bouquet on a random day.

• Do laundry for a new mother. New parents are often overwhelmed, so why not show them some kindness? If a relative has recently had a baby, offer to wash, dry, and fold her clothes.

• Give someone a gift—just because! Everyone loves a kind surprise!

• Create “basic bags” to give to people you see who may be homeless, asking for money at a red light or for a donation outside of a local convenience store. The “basic” bag is a great way to show you care, without being concerned about how your money will be spent. Things you might include in you “basic” bag: granola bars, snack foods, socks, travel size hygiene items or a coupon to McDonalds and a hand written note of encouragement.

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.

DIET VS. EXERCISE

HEALTH

Which is better for weight loss?

When it comes to weight loss, the split should be roughly 80 percent focus on what you eat and 20 percent on exercise. “It’s all about calories in and calories out. If you’re eating less and exercising, you’re going to burn more calories,” says Courtney McCormick, dietitian at Nutrisystem. To achieve a healthier lifestyle, try these quick tips!

Eat more often A recent study found that on average, people who ate six times or more daily consumed fewer calories, had a lower body mass index, and ate more nutrient-rich foods than those who didn’t eat at least six times a day.

Eating smaller meals every three hours keeps you feeling full, controls blood sugar and helps boost metabolism.

Watch portions American portions have become too big; and those

used to dining out may consider restaurant portions to be correct, when they’re often four times as large as what’s recommended. When eating out, ask for a to-go box and save half for later.

Veg out Vegetables are low in calories, high in filling fiber and loaded with nutrients. For breakfast, add spinach to an omelet; at lunch, pile your sandwich high with fixings like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, or use lettuce as a wrap instead of bread.

Drink more water A study found that when people drank six cups (48 ounces) of cold water, they increased their resting calorie burn by up to 50 calories each day.

Another study found that dieters who drank two eight-ounce glasses of water before meals lost 36 percent more weight over three months than those who didn’t sip before sitting down to eat.

Get moving The CDC recommends 150 minutes of aerobic activity weekly, but research suggests that it doesn’t matter if you exercise for two-and-a-half hours straight or break it up into 10-minute chunks.

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.”

DECORATE

SPRUCING UP THE HOME

Adding warmth without breaking the bank

These simple updates add ambiance and character!

Use bold colors Colors have the power to create specific moods. Select shades wisely. The science behind color psychology can help you choose paint, upholstery and more. Warm colors like red, orange and yellow make people feel more cozy and intimate. Cooler colors like grey and green are better for invoking calm, and are used to make a room feel more spacious.

Brighten up rooms with a new bouquet of fresh cut flowers each week.

Make music A piano brings a level of elegance to any room, but you don’t have to overspend to get a beautiful sound or visual. New digital pianos sound great and can be more portable and compact than uprights.

Mood lighting Lighting sets room tone. Choose curtains and candles for cozy, romantic nights. Install interesting fixtures as a focal point in empty hallways and open living spaces.

AUTHORIZED EZGO DEALER

Add a touch of softness Use plush, cozy materials, such as decorative pillows and throws to create inviting places to sit. Soften hard surfaces like wooden or tile floors with area rugs.

Breathe new life into spaces Indoor plants can give life to an otherwise stagnant living area, including artificial plants. High-quality options can look very realistic and will save you time and hassles on providing care and maintenance.

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.

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.

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.

let us never forget we are the land of the free because of the brave

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.

DOLLARS & SENSE

DENTISTS YOU CAN TRUST & TALK TO

Every dollar counts in retirement. Here are some money saving tips: • 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.
