“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

From Dr. Chamberlain’s Desktop

I

love this quote because I believe in striving for excellence in all things. I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly discuss three changes that are occurring at Chamberlain Orthodontics. I believe that to become the best one needs to embrace change. Change can be difficult and treacherous. It is disruptive. Perhaps that is why so many resist it. It is much easier to go with the status quo. In the Dr. Thomas Chamberlain profession of Orthodontics there have been some recent changes that will shape the future of how “moving teeth” is accomplished.

To begin, let me announce the first change in our office.

We are expanding our operations in the Ocotillo area by increasing our office space to accommodate more patients in the community. We will be increasing the size of our office space by 1500 square feet. Over the next three months you will see new back office space, a new reception area, a new exam room and new clinic area. The added space will lead to increased efficiency and a more uptodate and comfortable

environment. During the time of our construction, we will be seeing all of our patients in our Ray road office (Ray and McClintock). It will be a fairly quick construction time and we appreciate your patience in this effort.

The next two changes in our office are a reflection of our commitment to embrace the latest in technology. First, our office is becoming “impressionless.” That hopefully will leave a better “impression” on many of our patients! ha ha! (pun intended). We have added the new technology of a digital scanner in place of more uncomfortable, less accurate traditional impressions. This new digital scanner will be the FIRST in the East Valley. If you have ever had to take a mold or impression of your teeth and didn’t enjoy the gag reflex that often occurs with it, you will appreciate the new scanner.

Because of its accuracy, your scan will be sent to labs across the country for faster response time in making appliances. It also integrates with software that predicts tooth changes so you can see what your teeth will look like after movement. All of these benefits come from a simple, painfree 3 minute scan of your teeth. We think it’s worth it!

Dr. Thomas Chamberlain

Lastly, we are providing you with the latest technology in 3D. We are incorporating the iCAT digital CT scanner. It uses less radiation than a typical 2D x-ray but will give you much more information and better views of the mouth and jaws. With the current findings that link sleep wellness and breathing with Type 2 Diabetes, ADD, ADHD, autism, hypertension, stroke and even cardiovascular disease, we will now be able to routinely look at airways to insure that you, and all your family members, are breathing and sleeping well. This is just one of many advantages we will be able to have with the 3D digital CT scanner. Less radiation, better viewing and better diagnosis will lead to more efficient, more comfortable and more accurate treatment. This brings us back to the beginning quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. I believe Chamberlain Orthodontics is embracing the best that is available for you in the Chandler community.

We are always looking to provide you with the best ideas, surroundings and technology that is available. This is how we can change both your future and the future of Chamberlain Orthodontics for the better!

2014

Wisdom teeth are almost certain to cause problems if left in place. This is particularly true of impacted wisdom teeth, such problems may occur suddenly and often at the most inconvenient time. While the kids are out for summer break, there couldn’t be a better time to take care of this preventative procedure.

The average mouth does not have room for the third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth,” to come in properly. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems such as swelling, stiffness, pain and illness. The pressure from the wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic of natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom tooth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. It is now recommended that impacted wisdom teeth be removed early to prevent these problems.

Most commonly we remove wisdom teeth between the ages of 14 and 22 years whether they are causing problems or not. The procedure is technically easier and patients recover much quicker when they are younger. What is a relatively minor procedure at 20 can before quite difficult in patients as they get older. Also, the risk of complications increases with age and the healing process is slower. We utilize the latest technologies and techniques to make your procedure go smoother and your healing process faster.

Kyrene superintendent retiring next year Dr. David Schauer has been at the helm of the Kyrene School District for a decade, but the 2015-2016 school year will be his last overseeing the elementary school district.

Schauer plans to spend his last year in the schools supporting students, teachers and school leaders with the important work they do.

“I absolutely love talking to kids about what they are learning and about their school experiences, and plan to be very engaged with the student population,” Schauer said. “I’m also committed to working with the governing board and district leaders to ensure the transition to a new superintendent is as smooth as possible, so there is no interruption to student learning and the important work underway to support that primary objective.”

Schauer began his career with Kyrene in 1996 as the principal of Aprende Middle School, where he worked for six years. In 2002 he was selected as the assistant superintendent for instructional services, serving until 2006, when he was named superintendent. Schauer shared how his experience with the Kyrene School District impacted his opinion of education.

“Kyrene is the best place to educate children in the state of Arizona, and I have learned why the district has that reputation,” he said. “The greater Kyrene community is a huge supporter of what we do here and expects excellence from us. We deliver this through hiring the very best staff members and by constantly evaluating our performance and making needed improvements to programs and services.”

Under his tenure at Kyrene, Schauer said, “My first goal was to bring together groups of staff and community members to find common ground on meeting the needs of the students we serve.”

He was able to accomplish this by creating ongoing committees and foclassifieds

While all districts have been facing budget cuts for years, Schauer said, “It was extremely important to help the staff and community become knowledgeable about school finance in Arizona and what Kyrene had to contend with as we determined how to balance the budget with a lot less money. We were able to build broad-based support for the difficult decisions that had to be made about changes to staffing, programs and services.”

Kyrene has attained an A rating as a district under Schauer’s leadership.

He attributed this prestige to the expectations of the students, staff and community.

Schauer began his career as an elementary teacher in Illinois. Retirement will not be an end to his involvement in education. “I am a visionary and want to continue to play a role in transforming education, as this is the most important factor in creating a positive future for this country and the world we live in.

“Traditional public education as we have known it for the past 200 years is undergoing a revolution and I find this exciting and energizing. I will be seeking ways to have a greater impact on ushering in these important and needed changes in yet to be determined institutional or consultant roles. My focus is clearly on how to better meet the needs our students in this volatile and dynamic environment that makes up the world of today.” expensive homes

Money grows on walls at Tortilla Flat

NearbyNews

By Kimberly Hosey

My son and I like to travel to outof-the-way places, but it’s not often that we find ourselves in the middle of town—and in the middle of nowhere—at the same time. With a population of six, Tortilla Flat might make that very short list. It also may be the only entire town that is a destination you can see in a few hours with your family.

Tortilla Flat, located northeast of Apache Junction and two miles past Canyon Lake on Apache Trail, boasts the distinction of being the last surviving stagecoach stop on the historic Apache Trail. The unincorporated town knows how to make the most of its tourist appeal, and has been hosting visitors for over a century.

Arguably the main attraction is the Superstition Saloon, a bar and restaurant known for its decor, chili and burgers. Sadly for my son, it does not feature kick-in-able, cartoon-style saloon doors, but he made a show of identifying himself as the “rootin’-est, shootin’-est” as we entered, anyway.

(I’m sure other patrons were duly impressed.)

We visited not for food, but to see the artwork. In addition to the Western themes painted through much of the town (even the bathroom stalls have saloon-character art), Tortilla Flat has a rich history—literally. Tens of thousands of dollar bills paper nearly every wall and surface in the restaurant. The saloon started as a hangout

for Roosevelt Dam workers in the early 1900s. Workers would leave a dollar with their name on it on the wall so they could always return for a cold one. That’s how the tradition of pinning dollars to the restaurant’s walls got started—a tradition that’s grown

River rock animals

Sometimes projects that I do with my kids have a clear purpose, such as a holiday craft or as a gift. Sometimes, we do it merely “because it’s cute and fun.”

River rock animals are cute and fun, and as a bonus, easy to make!

River rocks, plastic drop cloth, outdoor glue (like Gorilla Glue), outdoor acrylic paint and paint brushes.

You will need the following:

Fertility Treatment Center...Turning Patients into Parents.

H Randall Craig, MD Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility

Step 1 Even if you don’t have river rocks as an integral part of your landscape like I do, you know someone who does. The hardest part of this project was finding appropriately shaped rocks, which took 10 minutes. In this case, I made quail, lizards and frogs. Once I selected a rock for the body of the animal, I put it on the lawn and then searched for other rocks that resembled heads, legs or tails.

In the ASU Research Park 2155 E. Conference Drive, Suite 115, Tempe, AZ 85284

480.831.2445 www.fertilitytreatmentcenter.com

Step 2 After washing the rocks to remove excess dirt, I laid them all out on a plastic drop cloth into the shapes I’d imagined. The only cheat I used was glass beads for eyes. I just couldn’t find anything small and round enough to pass for cartoon-like frog eyes.

Once the animal bodies were reassembled, I glued them together. I used Gorilla Glue, but in the future I would use a different adhesive like all-weather epoxy.

One of the selling points of Gorilla Glue is that it expands as it cures to fill areas that may have missed being glued. For this project, however, it just bulged out in places I didn’t want it to show up.

I used tape to hold pieces in place if they weren’t cooperating on their own.

Step 3 Once the glue was dry, my kids and I painted the animals. While my kids chose fantastical color schemes, I wanted to go for a more realistic look. I painted the lizard to look like a bluebelly that lives in my vegetable garden and the quail could be any number of birds strutting their stuff on my parents’ fence.

When the paint dried, we set them out in our yard. Some are hiding under plants, others are having a party for all to see. They add a whimsical touch to our yard which my kids find quite bemusing.

Costco vs. Amazon Prime pasta vixen

mom cents

I’m not a couponer. If I need something, it’s usually because I’m about to run out of it and I need it quickly.

Conversely, if I have a coupon, it’s almost always for something I don’t need. That being said, I do like to save money wherever I can. In my world, the only thing that rivals finding a good deal is finding a good deal for which I don’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops.

Like all big-box stores, Costco has good prices on some things and really terrible prices on others. I agree with every article I’ve ever read that buying fresh produce at Costco for nonparty use is a sure way to end up with spoiled vegetables. There are things I won’t buy anywhere else, however, things like toilet paper and garbage bags.

I wouldn’t buy anywhere else, that is, until I finally broke down and bought a year’s subscription to Amazon Prime photo page

events calendar

hearsay

meet your neighbor

looking back

while it was on sale for $79.

I decided to give Prime a shot because I am also a cord cutter and I had read that Amazon Prime’s online streaming service was really good.

(More on that next month.)

In the meantime, I now have free shipping on anything sold through Prime. Thanks to Amazon’s fulfillment warehouse in Goodyear, I’ve had items arrive on my doorstep within a few hours of clicking “checkout.” It’s the ultimate in last-minute shopping and I don’t even have to set foot in a retail store.

Aside from specialty gifts with free shipping, is there a benefit to ordering off of Amazon Prime versus heading to Costco? After all, Amazon Prime doesn’t offer free samples of delicious food as I meander up and down the aisles.

The answer to that question is “it depends.” For example, I realized af-

ter a recent Costco run that I’d forgotten coffee and I was about to run out of it but I didn’t want to go back to impulse-shopping heaven. Upon searching Amazon, I saw that they offer many of the same brands as Costco but at $10 more—even with Prime shipping.

Other things, like toilet paper, fare much better.

While Costco sells Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care in a 36-pack for $34.99 (97 cents/roll), it can be had in a 32pack for $15.96 (49 cents/roll) from Amazon.

Products like paper towels seem to vary greatly depending on brand, as does laundry detergent.

A relatively new Amazon service that I haven’t tried out yet is Prime Pantry. Shoppers fill a 45-pound box for a shipping flat rate of $5.99, all guided by a handy tracking window to ensure not going over on box weight.

Based on pricing out some items like a Coke fridge-pack, Prime Pantry prices aren’t cheaper than Costco but they allow for shopping from the comfort of home.

If Amazon only sold gifts and books then Prime membership wouldn’t compete with Costco at all. As someone who’s not known for planning ahead, there’s no way I’d survive with only a Prime membership. To that point, it’s also nice to be able to order an exotic gift at the last minute and have it shipped for free. Where Prime falls short in last-minute grocery shopping it more than makes up for in last-minute and impulse shopping. If I had to choose only one, I get more everyday use out of my Costco membership, but it sure is nice to take advantage of all that Amazon has to offer without having to pay extra for shipping.

The Book of Mormon coming to ASU Gammage

By Tamara Juarez

“The Book of Mormon,” critically acclaimed for its sharp humor and named “the best musical of this century” by The New York Times, will hit the ASU Gammage stage beginning Tuesday, Oct. 20.

Since its Broadway debut in 2011, the satirical play of two overly optimistic Mormon missionaries has won nine Tony awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Direction and Best Scenic Design, and received the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

The story follows the misadventures of Elders Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham as they set out on a quest to bring faith and hope to the people of a remote village in Uganda. But teaching the local population about their faith and Scriptures proves to be a bigger challenge than expected when only one of the two men has actually read “The Book of Mormon.”

As the Ugandans focus their worries

on rampant famine, AIDS and a tyrannical war lord threatening to bring misery to their village, Price and Cunningham have to devise a way to make people listen, even if it means making up half the Scripture.

“The Book of Mormon,” written by the four-time Emmy Award-winning creative minds behind the animated series “South Park,” contains edgy and uncensored humor that pushes the boundaries of religious comedy from start to finish. The musical is directed

by Casey Nicholaw and Trey Parker, choreographed by Nicholaw, and features music and lyrics by Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone.

Single tickets will go on sale Monday, Aug. 3, and will be available at the ASU Gammage Box Office. The show runs through Nov. 8. For more information about showtimes, group orders or season subscriptions, visit www.asugammage.com or call (800) 982-2787.

Grilled Salmon I’d love to tell you that I’m fond of salmon, or fish of any kind. The truth is, unless it’s fresh Rocky Point shrimp or a big bowl of Cioppino, I tend to pass on fish in lieu of ribs, chicken or a tasty hanger steak. So, when I come across a recipe that reintroduces the wonderful flavor and texture of salmon, it goes right into my “go-to” file.

This gorgeous, award-winning baked salmon dish is slathered with a mixture of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs and olive oil. You’ll want to make a little extra for leftovers, because the second recipe I’m sharing is for a beer and balsamic dressing that gets poured over a chilled salmon salad.

The salmon recipe is from Canadian barbecue champion David Veljacic, who had been barbecuing competitively for eight years and capturing awards internationally for his salmon dish be-

fore taking the granddaddy of all barbecue prizes from the Kansas City Barbecue Society. The recipe is fantastic, with fresh salmon either grilled or baked in the oven.

The second recipe is a beer and balsamic dressing I found in the “Cooking with Alaskan Beer Cookbook.” For years, the Alaskan Brewery in Juneau has been winning honors for its beer, and it finally decided to compile a cookbook featuring their favorite recipes that pair great food with their gold medal brews.

Both recipes make great light meals that we’re all craving this time of year.

If you have a fish recipe that you think our readers would love to try, email me. While you’re there, check out more recipes and cooking tips at www. jandatri.com.

Grilled Salmon 8 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes 1/4 cup olive oil 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, boned

Sprinkle the garlic and salt in a shallow dish. Mash the garlic with the blade of a knife. (Jan’s Note: I simply chopped the garlic on a cutting board, added the salt into the garlic and continued to chop until garlic and salt was incorporated and minced.)

In a small bowl, combine mashed garlic, parsley, tomatoes and oil, mixing well. Cover and refrigerate for eight hours or overnight.

When ready to barbecue, cut two lengthwise slits in the salmon fillet with a sharp knife, dividing the surface of the fish into thirds. (Cut to the skin but not through it.)

Spread half the garlic mixture over the fillet and into the slits. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a greased grill rack. Cover the grill and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.

Spread the remaining garlic mixture on the fish. Continue cooking, with the lid down, over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Remove from the grill by inserting spatulas between the skin and the flesh, lifting the fillet, and leaving the skin on the grill. Serve the skinless, boneless fillet on a bed of fresh greens. Yields 4 servings.

Beer and Balsamic Salad Dressing 1/4 cup medium full-bodied beer, like Amber Ale, room temperature 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil, or dried 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt

Place all ingredients in a mini blender, jar or salad cruet with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until well blended. Delicious when served over salad with chilled poached, grilled or baked salmon.
