viously with Dr. Sanduk Ruit, an ophthalmologist in Nepal.

“He set up an amazing network to give the poorest of the poorest cataract surgery,” Dugel said about Ruit.

Within the last month, the network turned its eye mission into a humanitarian one. The board overseeing that network, the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, decided to establish a relief fund at Tilganga Earthquake Relief Support Funds, and the Himalayan Cataract Project has set up the same.

Dugel knew the landscape of Nepal would be filled with collapsed buildings, roads and dead bodies, but nothing could prepare him for it. “Everything’s devastated,” Dugel said. “It was worse than what I (first) thought.

“It is devastating in a very sad way.

When a catastrophe happens in the U.S., you have people who are dead, people who are alive and people in the middle, those who are injured and need medical treatment.

“In Nepal that middle doesn’t exist.

Either you are alive or dead; there’s no middle.”

By Ken Abramczyk Earthquakes in Nepal this spring killed more than 8,000 people, injured another 19,000, and destroyed the homes of hundreds of thousands of residents.

In mid-May, Dr. Pravin Dugel, an ophthalmologist with Retinal Consultants of Arizona, headed to Nepal and witnessed the chaos, devastation and destruction of the nation. While there, he offered humanitarian aid and assisted with retinal surgery with a team of trauma surgeons.

“The streets are lined with people, because they don’t know where to go,” said Dugel, whose firm has offices throughout the state, including Gilbert, Mesa and Scottsdale.

“All these people are homeless and children are orphaned. There’s nothing, there’s no buildings and the stench of death.

“It really impacts you when you see how devastated it is.”

‘Tis the season to be giving at Organ Stop Pizza Join Organ Stop Pizza as it decks the halls and gets in the holiday spirit for the United Food Bank’s eighth annual Christmas in July Food Drive Challenge.

Bring in two approved nonperishable food items between July 1 and July 31 and receive 10 percent off the entire kitchen bill that evening while enjoying The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ and pizzas, pastas, salad and more.

“When you drop off donations for this food drive in July you will be able to step out of the triple digit temps into the spirit of the holidays,” said Organ Stop Pizza co-owner Jack Barz.

“We’ll deck The Mighty Wurlitzer and walls with a Christmas feel. Jingle all the way to OSP and help a worthy cause.”

The most-needed items are cash; peanut butter; canned meat; canned fruit and vegetables; whole-grain, low-sugar cereal; soup; stews; chili; beans; milk that is canned or dried; rice and pasta.

Organ Stop Pizza will match cash donations up to $5,000 from customers. In addition, the Lew Williams Christmas CD “Holiday Pipes” will be on sale for $14. For each copy that is sold in July, $2 will be donated to United Food Bank.

Organ Stop Pizza is located at 1149 E. Southern Ave., at the southwest corner of Southern and Stapley. Its phone number is (480) 813-5700. For more information, visit www.organstoppizza.com Page 4

Christmas in July is an annual food drive in the summer that aims to help stock United Food Bank’s shelves.

Summer is the hardest time of the year for many individuals and families in Arizona. Kids are out of school, meaning parents have the added pressure of providing more food. Temperatures rise, making electric bills higher— forcing families to make tough decisions like choosing between paying bills or paying for food.

With the public’s help, Organ Stop Pizza will be able to continue to help its neighbors who struggle daily for food this summer. Because of donors, meals will be delivered to senior citizens, fewer children will go to bed hungry, and many parents will worry less.

For more information about United Food Bank, visit www.unitedfoodbank.org or contact Melissa Forrester at mforrester@unitedfoodbank.org or by phone at (480) 398-4464.

Organ Stop Pizza has been a Valley favorite for more than 40 years. Home to the nation’s largest Wurlitzer pipe organ, the unique pizza restaurant is a favorite entertainment destination for all ages.

Along with pizza, Organ Stop Pizza offers pasta, appetizers, a salad bar, ice cream and beer/wine and soft drinks.

Everything from Bach to rock is played by its professional organists to crowds of up to 700 people every night. It is a cash or check business. No debit or credit cards accepted but an ATM is available in the lobby.

This charming chuckwalla is one of many critters at the MCC Red Mountain Campus that engages students and the community in science education.

Excitement of science comes alive at MCC Red Mountain campus

By MCC Staff

Gila monsters, rattlesnakes, turtles, frogs and cute little pupfish...Oh my!

These are a few of the entrancing desert critters to be seen at Mesa Community College’s Red Mountain campus, located on 100 acres of beautiful Sonoran Desert at Power Road just north of McKellips. Open to the community, the campus boasts an enticing array of native creatures including many species of rattlesnakes, lizards, toads, frogs, Gila monsters, chuckwallas, desert tortoises, mud turtles, endangered pupfish and more.

“Our extensive Sonoran habitat serves to educate and engage our students as well as the surrounding community,” said Provost Patrick Burkhart.

“Strategic and creative planning has resulted in incredible outdoor laboratory and teaching spaces that allow us to integrate the ecology and beauty of the desert, plants and animals into a wide range of college disciplines including biology, English, geography, geology and exercise science.”

Constructed in the center of the Red Mountain campus is a desert spring area known as a cienega. Capturing building rain runoff during monsoons, it consists of pools of water connected by a small stream. Landscaped with

native riparian plants, it is a habitat for Sonoran birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and fish, creating another education opportunity on campus and a place to relax and enjoy the desert flora and fauna.

In fall 2014, 300 endangered, native desert pupfish were released by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) into a refuge pond in the cienega. Partners with the college in the effort included AZGFD, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Phoenix Zoo and Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center.

In addition to an elite ecology experience, the endangered fish release allowed students to interact with wildlife professionals and participate in activities that are part of careers in science.

Beginning in September, the Red Mountain Campus will host a monthly Family Discovery series presenting a broad range of topics in formats that are interesting and fun for all ages.

There is still time to register for fall classes that begin Aug. 22. Find out more about enrolling, transferring college credits and opportunities to visit Red Mountain Campus critters by stopping by campus or calling (480) 654-7200.

By Laurie Struna Students from Zaharis Elementary School are beaming with pride after the completion of a solar lighting installation project. Fourth-grade teacher Scott Ritter sparked his students’ interest in solar energy, which was accomplished with the assistance of a $5,000 Learning Grant from Salt River Project and funds contributed by the school’s PTO. Ritter asked his students to research ways they could use solar lights to illuminate a 900-square-foot walkway leading to the school.

The desert is pitch black at night.

The unique location of the school presented challenges for community members walking from parking spots on the street to the campus’ evening events, including the highly anticipated fall carnival. The fourth graders were called upon to problem solve their need for lighting.

Homemade laundry detergent mom cents

pasta vixen

If you’ve spent any time on Pinterest, or talked with someone who is more naturally inclined, you have likely heard about making your own laundry detergent. It turns out, it’s very, very easy to make and also HE so it can be used in front-loading washing machines. photo page

events calendar

Ingredients hearsay your neighbor 1 bar laundry soap meet (Fels Naptha, Zote, Ivory etc.), shredded 3 cups Borax 3 cups washing soda 1/4 cup measuring spoon 1 container for the finished product looking back

The classic “recipe” for homemade laundry detergent is to shred one bar of Fels Naptha soap and combine it with Borax and washing soda. The first time I made this I used a hand shredder on the soap which wasn’t that difficult, but out of sheer laziness I used a food processor this time. All it required was cutting the soap into 1-inch pieces

and pulsing until the soap is reduced to small chunks. Add in the two other ingredients and blend until mixed.

Fels Naptha is great, it performs as advertised. It’s supposed to be easy on the allergies, however, it has a very strong scent. My youngest has eczema, so Ivory is a very interesting alternative.

The real question about homemade laundry detergent isn’t how easy is it to make, it’s how does it work? And the answer is, it works as well as any premade, allergy-free detergent on the market. My laundry smells wonderful and feels very clean after using. The only issue is that it lacks the whiteners that are added to premade detergents so over time, clothes look...worn—primarily white clothes. This is no different than how clothes look after longtime use of any allergy-free detergent.

One of the other selling points of making your own laundry detergent is that it is more environmentally friendly than the premade stuff.

So is it worth it? Sort of. The average price of a 76 oz. box of Borax is $3.97, likewise for a 55 oz. box of washing soda. A bar of Fels Naptha is about $1.97. On your initial purchase, using this recipe, you can get two full batches of laundry detergent which works out to $5.94 per batch.

Each batch yields approximately 25 loads of laundry or $11.88 for 50 loads. To compare, Walmart lists a bottle of 96-load, Arm & Hammer For Sensitive Skin laundry detergent for $7.88. If you’re looking at it from the environmentally friendly standpoint, you can pick up a 66load bottle of Seventh Generation for $12.99. So it’s equivalent to one, more expensive than another. Unless you’re dealing with severe allergies, it’s definitely cheaper to buy premade detergent but it’s not necessarily better for the environment to do so.

Stepping stones/pet memorials Unfortunately, we had to put one of our dogs to sleep not long ago. This is the first time my kids have been old enough to comprehend death and they’ve been extremely upset over losing their beloved pet and have been searching for a way to remember him. While it’s very easy to purchase stepping stone kits at the craft store, we wanted to personalize every aspect of this project, so we compiled our supplies on our own.

Set out the aluminum pie tins or plant saucers that you intend to use. Mix up the cement according to the instructions on the package, and then pour the mixture into the molds, almost to the top. You’ll have to work quickly on this project as most cement sets up quickly, especially in Arizona’s dry climate.

One of my kids tried to make a portrait of our dog in glass beads, the other opted for sticking as many pretty pieces into the cement as it would hold.

I made a bone-shape out of the glass beads. You can also add weatherproof acrylic paint to the wet cement and swirl it around for a pretty marbled look. We used the toothpick to write our dog’s name, and set them out to dry.

If you intend to walk on your stepping stones, I recommend waiting at least 24 hours before setting them out, just to make sure the cement has set completely. They should pop out of their molds very easily and if you have extra cement left over, you can reuse the molds to make more.

What’s Cooking?

By Jan D’Atri

Beer and honey glazed salmon It’s the perfect recipe for summertime. A beer and honey glazed salmon with a great story attached to it! So let me start here.

How often do think about where a food product originated or what went into the manufacturing of it when you open the can, tear into a package or pop open the top of a beverage? The next time you come across the amber beer from the Alaskan Brewing Co., you’ll know the story behind it.

It’s how I found out about this sweet and savory recipe for beer and honey glazed salmon.

If anyone knows the hardships of operating a brewery in Alaska—with its often limited access and perennial harsh weather—it’s Marcy and Geoff Larson. They founded Alaskan Brewing Co. at age 28 in 1986.

The duo wanted to craft beer the way it was done more than 100 years ago during the gold rush, when there were more than 50 breweries and 142 saloons catering to miners who were thirsting for gold. But miners followed “that thar” gold, and when it dried up, so did the breweries and

saloons. All are gone now except for one—the Larsons’ award-winning brewery in Juneau.

Alaskan Brewing Co. started with the support of 80 Alaska neighbors, and the first batch of beer sold out overnight. It ushered in a new era of liquid prosperity, unencumbered by 1897 gold rush era rules that stated “no liquors, malt or vinous, could be imported, manufactured or sold, save by special permit and then only for use for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes.”

Today, the brewing company has more than 100 major medals and awards to tip their glasses to—almost half of which are, you got it... gold!

This recipe comes straight from the brewery and Tom West, Alaskan Brewery’s production assistant. The amber beer used in this recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and stout to give salmon a nice full-bodied glaze.

It’s a simple recipe that all comes together in one pot on the stove, then mopped over a piece of fresh Alaskan salmon.

Jan’s Notes: Before basting, I reserved about 1/2 cup of the glaze to pour over the salmon after plating it up. As the recipe noted, I basted often to give the salmon a sweet and savory glaze.

Most people have never attended a court hearing, let alone been a party to a case.

My clients often ask me what they should wear. As a general rule Joshua R. Boyle you should dress professionally. For men this would usually mean a button-up shirt, slacks, dress shoes and a tie. For women this would mean a nice shirt or blouse, a skirt that is at least as long as your knees and dress shoes.

Many people do not have dress clothes and cannot afford them.

For some of my clients, their nicest clothes consisted of a Polo, jeans and sneakers. If that is the best you have then you should have no shame in wearing that to court. One client had to come straight from his blue-collar job in his dirty work clothes. At the beginning of the case, I provided a little explanation to the judge about why he was dressed the way he was and both my client and the judge appreciated that.

From personally speaking with judges, they generally do not “judge” you based on your clothes. However, many of them do take issue if you dress immodestly or in an attempt to draw attention to yourself. At least one judge will stop the proceedings if someone is dressed inappropriately and require them to wear a large T-shirt over their looking back

other clothes. You never want to cause a delay in your proceeding because of how you or one of your supporters is dressed.

You also should consider not dressing too nicely. If you dress in an expensive European suit or are wearing expensive jewelry, it can certainly have an effect on the judge or jury if they are considering whether you need or deserve a monetary award in a case.

Besides, what you wear to court, also consider your overall appearance.

While tattoos, piercings and facial hair are much more common and accepted today, there are still many people who associate those things with negative connotations and those people might be your judge or jury.

All that being said, do not get too concerned about what you wear to court. You generally are not going to make or break your case based on what you wear. The basic facts of your case, your honesty, and your legal representation will have a far greater impact on the final outcome rather than what you are wearing.

Sierra Preparatory Academy enrolling students in grades 6 through 9 Sierra Preparatory Academy, a tuition-free, public charter school that features an enhanced liberal arts and sciences curriculum, will open for the first day of the 2015 to 2016 school year on Aug. 12.

Edward Denny, co-founder and headmaster, said the school is enrolling students who are in grades six through nine. Over the course of the next few years, Denny said Sierra Preparatory Academy will expand its enrollment through grade 12.

“We will build our enrollment year over year and we offer a progressive curriculum,” he said.

Sierra Preparatory Academy will feature class sizes of 22 students or fewer.

The school will feature programs like a state-of-the-art Maker Space, natural philosophy classes, Arabic and Russian language programs and the Great Books curriculum, which Denny said features a variety of literary and scientific canons.

“The idea of Great Books is that students read the original material, not filtered ideas or textbooks.

That way, in combination with their peers and teachers, they can discuss the ideas of the books on their own terms,” Denny said.

The school will also offer an advanced four-year writing program, integrated fine arts classes, and a focus on discovery learning and the Socratic Method, Denny said.

Denny said the decision to open Sierra Preparatory Academy was a “lengthy evolution” that started during his time teaching at Tempe Preparatory Academy.

“I knew all of the students and families, but as the school grew larger something got lost. The quality of education was still wonderful but the community atmosphere got lost to a great degree,” Denny said.

About six years ago, Denny and other teachers spoke about their desire to somehow and someday recapon the town

ture the community feel of a smaller school.

More recently, Denny was talking with his wife Yuliya Yatsyshina, whom he met during a trip to Kazakhstan, about what he should do when they returned to the states.

When he told Yatsyshina that he had thought about starting his own school, Denny said she offered her full support and the two of them cofounded the school.

“Sierra Preparatory Academy will be by the teachers for the teachers.

Here, the teachers are the administrators, and there is no way we could do this if the school wasn’t small,” Denny said.

“I don’t have visions of an empire.

Ultimately, I just want to know all of the students’ names and parents’ names.”

Denny said that the school is hosting regular open houses for interested parents and students. Anyone who cannot make a scheduled open house is welcome to contact him to set up an appointment, he said.

Denny said enrollment is going very well so far, and that he and the rest of the staff are looking forward to the first day of school with great anticipation.

Sierra Preparatory Academy is located at 7464 E. Main St. in Mesa.

Since SOS Physical Therapy opened last August, owner Jason Ernst and his staff have been devoted to helping people of all ages who are dealing with a wide variety of physical issues.

“We work with a lot of post-surgical patients, like people who have just had knee replacement or rotator cuff surgery, and we work with a lot of people who have chronic pain like in their back or neck,” Ernst said.

Their youngest client so far was a 6-month-old baby and their oldest was around 90.

In addition to therapeutic exercises and massage, Ernst said he and his staff also offer additional therapies like a soft tissue mobilization technique called Graston therapy, active release therapy, manual stretching and much more on the town

edge inspires them to help get their patients back on their feet—often literally—as soon as possible.

“In the case of rotator cuff surgery or a torn ACL, it is hard not being able to drive and not being able to work. It’s definitely great to get them feeling better and out of pain, and it’s so nice to see our patients returning to riding a motorcycle or playing golf or high school athletes returning to sports,” he said.

Ernst said although some people believe that physical therapy can be painful, he and his staff work hard to change this misperception.

“We have a relaxed atmosphere here. We are definitely professional but we also try to have some fun with our patients, and help to lift them up.”
