Chamberlain Orthodontics Receives 2014 Best of Chandler Awards!

Orthodontics Yesterday versus Today From Dr. Chamberlain’s Desktop

I

t has been said that you don’t know where you are or where you are going unless you know where you have been. For Orthodontics, this is especially true.

There have been some very significant changes in our profession over the past years that have affected the way in which we treat our patients.

As a professional, if I don’t keep up Dr. Thomas Chamberlain on these changes and be vigilant in staying abreast on the studies and the literature, if I become complacent and say to myself, “this is good enough,” or, “It’s been done this way for a long time, why change now?”, then I am not treating my patients to the best care possible. For this article, I’d like to touch briefly on one aspect of Orthodontics that has changed dramatically over the past few years. There are many other changes in our profession, believe me. But this one I feel

inspired to discuss today. Accelerated treatment: In the past we have been limited in the speed of tooth movement. Move teeth too fast, and you risk damaging roots and causing excessive pain. Move too slow and treatment takes forever. Today, there are some nice alternatives to speeding up the movement process without causing any harm to the teeth. The first is completely non-invasive and causes stimulation of the bone by vibratory force. Studies have shown that at a certain frequency, cells will respond with greater activity to a vibratory force, causing teeth to move faster while also inducing less pain in the process. A simple device created by Acceledent, gives the teeth a vibration for 20 minutes each day. Studies have shown that teeth can move 30 - 50% faster. A second method for increasing the rate of movement of teeth is by introducing small vent, or hole in the bone around the teeth that we want to move faster. These small vents heal easily and completely, but in the process, they introduce more cellular

Dr. Thomas Chamberlain

activity to move the teeth faster. One to two procedures to create these vents in the bone is usually sufficient to move the teeth 50% faster. No home use of any appliance is necessary and most times, only a topical anesthetic is needed to create the bony vents. For those looking to move teeth more quickly, either option can bring the results you want faster. Call our office to get more information. We’d love to see you there!

Legacy Traditional School offers well-rounded education New campus coming to north Chandler Rebecca Pentland can’t imagine doing anything but working with children. As the first leader of Legacy Traditional School’s new north Chandler campus, Pentland is anticipating the first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

“I’m so excited,” Pentland said. “I worked with Legacy Traditional School for seven years in a variety of capacities.

I feel like I know the program and the operational piece and the instructional piece.

“I’m looking forward to bringing Legacy into the north Chandler/Gilbert area.”

The tuition-free Legacy Traditional School campuses are all “A” ranked schools by the Arizona Department of Education and have been voted the

No. 1 charter school in Arizona by Ranking Arizona.

The school focuses on all areas of academic study, including music, art, physical education, extracurricular activities and clubs.

The north Chandler campus at 1900 N. McQueen Road is still under construction but is expected to be finished by the 4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 8, ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Back-to-School Night follows at 5 p.m.; the school is enrolling now. For more information, call 480-757-5400, visit NChandler.LegacyTraditional. org or email NChandler-Info@ LegacyTraditional.org.

Legacy’s back-to-basics and accelerated curriculum is encompassed

in a learning environment that focuses on character building, patriotism and the responsibilities of being a good citizen. Legacy Traditional School is a K-8 charter school with state-ofthe-art classrooms for kindergarten, elementary and middle school. Legacy also offers after-school and summer programs.

Special area classes in grades K-6 include general music, physical education, library, computers, creative minds art appreciation class and Spanish. Class piano is offered at the Gilbert campus.

Electives in grades seven and eight include computers I, physical education, Art2D, Art 3D, band, orchestra, choir, musical theater and Spanish I and II. “We’re a traditional back-tobasics accelerated public education, kindergarten through eighth grade school,” Pentland said.

“Saxon is our math program, which we teach a year ahead. So kids are getting a grade level ahead in math with Saxon.

“Spalding Language Arts Program is an analytical program that is phonetics based. It gives them the tools to decode words at a more efficient level so they become better readers and writers. We also have all of our desks in rows, facing the teacher. In the traditional school environment, the teacher should be in charge of the students’ learning because they’re the masters of their craft.”

Legacy Traditional School also emphasizes patriotism, something Pentland said is important these days.

“Not only are we educating students in music, physical education, math and reading, but love of country and pride in one’s country is important to us as well.

“We begin every school day with a flag ceremony. We all meet as a school with myself and the assistant principal.

We say the Pledge of Allegiance and have a moment of silence. We then talk about whatever focus we are on for that grading period.”

Pentland has seen firsthand the effect that Legacy Traditional School has on children. She sent her son to the school.

Everyone has a role in controlling mosquitoes

By Chandler Communications and Public Affairs Department The arrival of Arizona’s monsoon season brings afternoon thunderstorms and rainfall, as well as an increase in mosquitoes. With mosquitoes comes the threat of diseases they can carry, including West Nile Virus and Zika.

West Nile Virus spreads to people primarily through the bite of an infected Culex species mosquito, while the Zika virus is carried by a species known as Aedes aegypti. Both mosquitoes are found in Maricopa County. Culex mosquitos are most active during nighttime hours, while the Aedes aegypti is known to bite all day long.

The responsibility for controlling mosquitoes lies with all of us.

Eliminating standing water on property is the most important action to prevent mosquitoes, as they need water to complete their life cycle. Rain and irrigation water can produce hundreds

of thousands of mosquitoes if larvae are allowed to remain in stagnant water for as little as three days.

Chapter III, Regulation 2, of the Maricopa County Health Code is quite explicit about our obligation to control mosquito breeding areas: “No person shall cause, maintain, or within his control, permit any accumulation of water in which mosquitoes breed or are likely to breed. The owner, occupant or person in control of any place where mosquitoes are breeding, or which constitutes a breeding place for mosquitoes shall take all necessary and proper steps to eliminate the mosquito breeding and to prevent its recurrence through the elimination of or the institution of necessary control measures at mosquito breeding sites.”

Violation of the Health Code is a misdemeanor, punishable as provided by law.

It is important to keep swimming pools, spas and fountains clean and

operational, eliminate standing water that can collect and breed mosquitoes and empty any buckets, wheelbarrows, pet dishes, wading pools, birdbaths, plant pots or drip trays at least twice a week. It also is important to keep good screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out.

To avoid mosquito bites, use insect repellent containing DEET and wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors.

When possible, wear light-colored clothing that can help you see any mosquitoes that land on you. Using yellow bulbs in porch lights instead of insect-attracting white bulbs also is recommended. Property owners may also elect to contract with a local pest control company for regular mosquito spraying and treatment, especially during the summer months.

Local government’s role The Maricopa County Environmental Services Department has monitored hundreds of sites identified as mosquito breeding areas, plus proactively search for new or potential sites, through a surveillance program. They trap mosquitoes and work in conjunction with State health officials to test the mosquitoes for arboviruses, including Zika, and then eradicate breeding areas using the appropriate treatments.

A website maintained by the county, FightTheBiteMaricopa.org, provides an online form for reporting mosquito activity and green pools.

The site also provides information on mosquito-related diseases, prevention, monitoring and fogging. Residents can also call the county’s mosquito hotline (602-506-0700) to report concentrations of mosquitoes.

The city of Chandler has several areas of responsibility when it comes to mosquito control. Chandler’s Code Enforcement Division responds to complaints about green pools and works with the county to contact the owner to have the pool treated to prevent mosquito breeding. The Parks Division works to eliminate breeding areas in city parks and the Streets Division works to maintain storm drains and city-owned retention basins

so that water drains properly and doesn’t pond for long periods of time.

Retention basins are a frequent sight in Chandler neighborhoods and along city streets. In many cases, these basins double as small parks, greenbelts or open space. The city owns a number of retention basins, but the vast majority are owned and maintained by neighborhood associations, commercial developments and individual property owners. They are intended to capture stormwater runoff and often are connected to a storm drain that collects water from a street or parking lot.

To keep the water from ponding and stagnating, drywells are commonly constructed within the basins to allow the water to percolate into the ground.

City code requires all such basins to drain within 36 hours. If not maintained, drywells can become plugged with silt and debris, resulting in standing water and an increase in mosquito activity.

For this reason, it is imperative that homeowner associations, businesses and residents maintain any drywells on their property.

Zika was identified in Uganda in 1947. An outbreak in the Americas occurred in 2015 in northeastern Brazil and its spread has led the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency, in part because a link has been identified between Zika and birth defects among infants of infected mothers.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that about one in five people with the virus become ill, lasting several days to a week. Symptoms can include fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes).

For more information Information about diseases caused by mosquitoes and prevention can be found online at FightTheBiteMaricopa. org. For more information on Zika in Arizona, visit azhealth.gov/zika. For information on Zika and pregnancy, visit cdc.gov/zika/pregnancy.

To report mosquito concentrations or green pools, call the county’s mosquito hotline, (602) 506-0700.

EMPLOYEE PROFILE

Stormwater program specialist’s first day was sink or swim

By Chandler Communications and Public Affairs Department Sept. 8, 2014, was the day Chandler had more than 5 inches of rainfall in just a few hours. It also was Greg Wise’s first day on the job as a stormwater program specialist. Talk about sink or swim—literally. And while he may have gotten a little soggy, he did not sink, and has been getting along swimmingly since then.

Born in Tucson, Wise earned a degree in communications from the University of Arizona and put it to work at Tucson’s CBS affiliate, KOLDTV. He initially worked as a studio cameraman, but eventually landed a position on the news desk assigning stories to reporters. In 2000, KSAZ-TV (FOX 10) in Phoenix hired him to work its assignment desk, which he did for eight Greg Wise years. So how did a TV guy wind up in stormwater management?

“I loved the TV aspect of it, but I didn’t like the drowning calls, the homicides and fatal accidents,” Wise explained. “I thought, what can I do that is positive, that would make a difference?”

He decided on the field of environmental quality, putting his inquisitive nature and writing skills to work for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) as an inspector. Before long, Greg was promoted to an auditor position, ensuring that cities like Chandler complied with permit requirements associated with municipal storm sewer systems.

As a stormwater program specialist, one of Wise’s job duties involves responding to complaints of pollutants being discharged into city streets. He also proactively inspects the city’s storm drain system to ensure structures are functioning correctly.

“I’ll get calls from people saying the storm drain by their house doesn’t seem to be working,” he said. “If I determine it’s in a gated community, a homeowner’s association (HOA), or on private property, I’ll call the owner or property manager and let them know about the problem and even meet them out there.”

Wise said it is the HOA or property owner’s responsibility to correct any problems on their property. If a city structure is involved, he completes a city work order to address the problem. In some cases, a malfunctioning storm water structure can cause water to pond for long periods of time, resulting in calls to Wise’s office about mosquitoes.

“We don’t really deal with mosquitoes,” he said.

“Maricopa County Vector Control is better equipped to handle those things than we are. I go out to try and find the cause of the standing water.”

However, Wise said he will report the mosquitoes to the county, or provide the resident or property owner with contact information if they prefer to make the call.

When not working, Wise said he enjoys spending time with his family.

One daughter, Vanessa, recently graduated from law school and another, Maddie, attends Corona del Sol High School in Tempe. He’s also a music buff, plays the guitar, dabbles in creative writing and has a good sense of humor.

In fact, when living in Tucson and just out of college, Wise developed a standup routine that he performed about a dozen times at a local comedy club.

“It’s scary,” he said. “I would be scared while waiting, but once they called on me, all my nervousness went out the window.”

It was probably a lot like his first day at the city of Chandler.

By Mesa Public Schools It is the start of a new school year for Mesa Public Schools, and the first weeks of school are an exciting time for children. Discovery, learning and making friends are a few of the valuable parts of school. While students are off to a great social start, some children need guidance establishing a set of close friends.

“Developing friendships builds self-esteem,” said Libby Sluder, Title I ESEA specialist. “It teaches children important behaviors such as empathy, trust building, communications skills and conflict resolution strategies.

These are behaviors and skills they will use their entire lives.”

Sluder shares tips with parents to help their children navigate the friendship waters.

• Practice listening with warmth and understanding. Raising children in a calm, consistent manner where the focus is on open communication

and emotional support, fosters a strong self-worth and social skills.

Be a friendship coach. Talk with your child about how to make friends. Roleplay things to say when meeting someone new, and teach him or her how to handle conflict appropriately. Be patient with your reserved child who may need to take baby steps when making friends.

Take them with you. Children often learn how to make friends by modeling what parents do and say.

Have conversations about taking turns when talking, actively listening and being respectful.

Provide opportunities. Schedule play dates and activities that allow your child to interact with new friends, practice social skills and develop interests in a fun, relaxed setting. If your child tends to be shy, choose noncompetitive activities and arrange shorter play dates.

neighborhood hearsay Gymnastics mystifies me, because I can’t imagine doing it. I can imagine hitting a home run off a 95-mile-anhour fastball or making a hole-in-one, but I can’t conjure flipping my body into the air and landing perfectly on an inches-wide strip. That’s why I should be at Amanda Borden’s Gold Medal Gymnastics July 23 between 1 and 3 p.m., when Borden hosts an appearance by Carly Patterson, 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and one of only four American women to have earned the title of Olympic All-Around Champion.

The public is invited to meet Patterson and Borden at Borden’s Chandler gym, one of two Valley locations, in a meetand-greet for the general public. And if you’re one of those people who can make those incredible moves I can’t even imagine doing, you may also participate in a gymnastics clinic given by Patterson. The clinic is open to recreational gymnasts ages 5 and older; no prior experience is necessary.

Space is limited, however, so register now at goldmedalgym.com.

As for Yours Truly, I think I’ll stick

Page 10

to saying hello to two great athletes.

Borden, by the way, will be heading to the Rio Olympics to serve as a commentator on her sport.

Chandler Center for the Arts has realized that the way to beat the heat is to be cool, and the key to coolness is cool music. With this in mind, the center will present weekly free concerts, starting the last Friday in July and continuing every Friday throughout August.

This super-sensible idea, presented

by Intel, is called the “On The House Summer Concert Series.” It starts up July 29 at 7:30 p.m. with an appearance

by Jarabe Mexicano, a group dedicated to exploring the varieties of Mexican/ Latin music, which includes such influences as reggae and doo wop in addition to the usual mariachi sounds.

The group features lead vocalist Gustavo Alcoser, band leader Mario Equia on requinto (a small guitar), Kevin Lomez on vijuela (an early form of the guitar), bassist Oskar Beckmann and percussionist Alex Tapia.

Additional concerts will include

bluegrass, Motown and flamenco artists. For more info, go to www. chandlercenter.org.

Hamburgers, tacos...what’s next?

Think smoke and spice. Barbecue is the final frontier of fast food, and the Dickey’s franchise is leading the way. Until now, however, Chandlerites had to drive to Mesa or Tempe to get their Dickey’s. Now the smoky luxury of barbecued meats can be had by simply driving to 1005 S. Arizona Ave.; call (480) 812-1687 for hours and other information.

In celebration of the ninth Dickey’s to open in Arizona and the first in Chandler (there are more than 500 nationwide), the new location will offer the following through July: “Thirst Thursdays” – All guests get a free “Big Yellow Cup,” the franchise’s signature drinking vessel, and the first 50 to come in get a taste of the new taco, Sriracha chicken.

“Philanhropy Fridays” – Guests who donate to Dickey’s charitable foundation receive a gift card, and uniformed first responders eat for 50% off.

And on Sundays, kids eat free all day, with a dine-in purchase by an adult.

The city of Chandler wishes to remind citizens of its discount prescription drug card program. The card allows all Chandler residents, regardless of income, age or health status, to participate. The card can be printed online at: coast2coastrx.com/cities/az/ chandler.

A huge replica of a black widow spider stands ready to ensnare visitors in its web.

World of Giant Insects lands at Arizona Science Center

By Kimberly Hosey If your kids have been bugging you this summer break, you have a way to “bug” them right back, at The World of Giant Insects, the Arizona Science Center’s newest exhibit, on display now through Labor Day. We love anything with six or more legs, so my son and I headed to the science center this month to check out the oversize arthropods.

The first display we encountered—it was kind of hard to miss—was a giant praying mantis. I mean, giant.

The enormous insect lifted its scythe-like front legs (be honest; you call them “arms” too), preparing to snatch an imaginary prey insect.

“I’ll protect you! You have to be brave,” a nearby kindergartener told his younger sister. Towering over the kids, the Chinese praying mantis sure looked like it could easily make a visitor into its next meal.

After watching the intimidating mantis work its limbs for a few minutes, we left it reaching for a family of four and checked out two Atlas beetles, ready to duke it out with giant horns.

Up to a few inches in length, these insects are already huge, but at many times their normal size, they took up a good portion of the exhibit’s far wall.

Many kids are naturally fascinated by insects and arachnids, and mine Page 12

(even as a young teen) is no exception.

What is perhaps a little unique is that I, a grown woman in her 30s, never quite grew out of the obsession. My husband has been known to bring home giant insects for me. (What? Not everyone wants roses.)

So I expected to love the displays.

What I didn’t expect was to be joined in my enthrallment by so many others—and not just kids, but most of the other adults. Even those who are creeped out by creepy crawlers will be taken in by these giant animatronic insects, created by Kokoro Dinosaurs and complete with authentic sound effects. The insects, scaled up between 40 and 120 times their actual sizes, are created in partnership with entomologists so they’re scientifically accurate.

Next was a giant, squishy lime swallowtail caterpillar, like something out of “Alice in Wonderland.” We could hear the amplified sounds of the caterpillar munching on vegetation, which is pretty much a caterpillar’s main job in preparation for its metamorphosis into a dazzling butterfly.

Just as we finished admiring the plump caterpillar, a giant desert locust “took off ” over the family next to us.

The animatronic display showcases the grasshopper’s specialized wings

as it rises off the ground. Beside it, a humongous stick insect loomed, and a recreation of a black widow—complete with an ensnaring web—rounded out the path.

Ironically it’s these monsters—not their miniscule, real-life counterparts— that make some people open up to the wonders of the insect world. My son commented that walking among the oversized insects made him feel “like one of them,” and I knew what he meant: The exhibit enlarges insects to bring their characteristics to the forefront, but in so doing it also renders humans like a species of a particularly small insect, wandering through this buggy gathering.

In addition to the animatronic stars of the exhibit, other insects are featured such as a mosquito’s head, built at 600 times its normal size, with “working” mouthparts and large enough that you can see all the facets in its compound eyes. Similarly enlarged bee and dragonfly heads look down on visitors.

Below each display, plaques indicate the species depicted, as well as some scientific or societal information on the critter. There are also interactive displays available for younger children, such as a large dragonfly puzzle that lets kids put together the insects’ body parts.

If you’re feeling emboldened by

the robots and want to check out the real thing, the exhibit includes a small “live insect zoo,” featuring nine different species including scorpions, a burgundy bird-eater goliath tarantula, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and more.

If you want to keep bugging out, check out “Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure,” showing at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily in the center’s Irene P. Flinn Theater. Watch the insect world come alive—much larger than life, actually—on the theater’s five-story screen. You can easily imagine you’re a small insect as the tiny becomes tremendous in this story that follows the life, from birth to death, of a praying mantis and a butterfly.

Your kids will probably want to check out this exhibit for the giant robot bugs—but they’ll leave having learned a bit about insects’ role in our world, and hopefully wanting to know even more.

Tickets for The World of Giant Insects include admission to the science center, and are $4 for members, $19 for children 3 to 17 and $24 for adults.

slices of life

By Jill Pertler

Polyester win is a stretch of the imagination Laundry’s never been my thing, even though I’ve had more than my fair share of experience with the spin cycle. Lord knows I’ve tried, but despite a decadeslong love affair with bleach, my kids were always the ones with the grayish, never-quite-perfectly white socks. I finally figured out the black athletic socks don’t show dirt like the white ones do, so now I try to buy those.

I may have scored a small triumph over the socks, but every laundry CEO understands you can’t avoid white completely. My current battle involves a long-sleeved white polyester T-shirt.

It belongs to my son and was a special birthday gift he picked out himself. It is embellished with the correct and trendy logo favored by those who wish to score high on the cool-meter.

Let me tell you a little something about polyester. It’s the fabric of choice for stylish sports-oriented kids and yoga-pant wearing moms. According to my extensive internet research, polyester is a synthetic polymer, which is a fancy term for plastic in disguise. It resists wrinkles, fading, shrinking and is form fitting, durable and pretty darn comfortable. It’s also troublesome for laundry-challenged folks like myself.

That’s because oil and polyester do not mix.

Polyester is touted as an easy-tocare-for fabric. Unless you get an oil stain. My son got an oil stain.

Unfortunately, as the laundry guru I’ve already established myself to be, I did not notice the stain or pretreat the stain or otherwise attend to

the stain in any manner or fashion until after the (nearly new, favorite) shirt went through the entire laundry cycle—including the dryer. I can hear your gasps of horror and disbelief, and I do apologize.

That was two weeks ago. We’ve been at war ever since—me versus the shirt. What started as a small grease stain has morphed into a larger area, probably because of my attempts to remove the stain with any number of concoctions that were not Googleapproved. (I started this fight as a lone soldier. I’ve since gone online for expert reinforcements, which have, regrettably, also proved unsuccessful.)

In the process, the shirt seems to have taken on a dingy, grayish tint that I’m determined to correct. I’ve tried every remedy outlined online by my allies—laundry kings and queens who actually blog about the topic.

Your Life.

Our Commitment.

A life-threatening emergency started the sprint – and then the marathon – to save Diane from an unbelievably large tumor that wrapped around her kidneys, stomach and spinal cord. Diane recalls meeting her oncologist, her hero, “Dr. Sud took my hands and said, ‘I will fight with you. We will do this together.’” And they did. Now patients benefit from a Guided Imagery Program Diane created at Dignity Health facilities throughout the East Valley.

Right now the little bugger is soaking in a mixture of vinegar, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide and hot water.

I think/hope it’s looking whiter.

The whole experience has left me exhausted and smelling like pickles.

I am tempted to take the shirt out of the soak and put it through another wash cycle, but I’m afraid of my adversary’s next move. Still, I remain determined. Although the shirt has proven a worthy opponent, failure and defeat are not in this warrior’s vocabulary.

A tiny grease spot on a favorite shirt has grown into something bigger than any shirt or stain or laundry-crusading mom. It is about relentless pursuit of the enemy, endurance during combat, conquering the opposition and claiming victory over the polyester.

No surrender. No retreat.

Mark my words: The. Shirt. Will.

Not. Win.

Whether you’re braving the heat and having picnics, or are eagerly awaiting the cooler weather so you can entertain outdoors, here are two projects that are sure to be a hit with guests of all ages—giant tic-tac-toe and giant jenga. hearsay

GIANT TIC-TAC-TOE You will need: From the dollar store: Nine pool noodles (five of one color, four of another), shower curtain. From a hardware store: duct tape, scissors, serrated or utility knife, Sharpie. biz box

looking back

GIANT JENGA You will need: At least 36 feet of 2x4s from the scrap wood section of your local hardware store or whatever you have laying around your backyard (cracked wood is fine), circular saw and sawhorse, 80-grit sandpaper and hand sander, spray paint and wood sealer (optional).

Cutting Measure a length of wood that is the width of three 2x4s (NOTE: 2x4s are not 2 inches wide, that is their original size when they are first cut but they shrink in the drying process). Use the circular saw to cut this length of wood, then use this piece to measure out the rest. You want at least 36 pieces of wood.

expensive homes

Creating an X Measure and mark the halfway point on five similarly colored noodles. Using your utility knife, slice the noodle in two pieces at an angle. Repeat the process on one of the halves so you end up with three pieces.

Fit the ends of the shorter pieces to the longer piece, forming an X. Secure with duct tape. NOTE: Use good duct tape for this, the dollar store tape doesn’t stick well.

Creating an O Using the other four similarly colored pool noodles, bend the ends until they form an O. Use a piece of duct tape to temporarily secure, then wrap duct tape around the ends, as wide as at least three widths of duct tape.

Creating the game board Lay the shower curtain flat and cut off the reinforced top where the curtain rings go. Fold in thirds, and use a Sharpie to mark along the two folds. Spread out again, and apply the duct tape in a straight line along the marks you just made for yourself.

Repeat the process in the parallel direction creating the iconic tic-tac-toe board.

Having a bad day?

Sanding It is imperative to take the time to sand all of the edges of the cut lengths of wood to avoid splinters. This didn’t take a long time with a hand sander. Start by putting the sander flat against each end of wood and sanding until all of the sharp parts are worn down. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Next run the sander over all of the corners and edges, rounding them out like the original corners of the wood. If you use old wood, this process will take longer and you may have to sand down the flat sides as well as the ends to remove splinters.

Painting I selected about half of the finished pieces for painting including all of the pieces made from older wood. The spray paint will help seal the older wood and keep it from splintering. The other half of the pieces got the wood sealer treatment. These will be stored outside and I didn’t want the wood to split and splinter over time. The differing textures also make the game more interesting.

Once the paint and sealer dry, it’s game on!

By Caity Hemmerle Tucson entertainer Joe Bourne has performed alongside some of music’s top artists during his decades-long career. Now he’s bringing his Motownthemed show back to the Chandler Center for the Arts on Friday, Aug. 5.

During the “Motown and Other Soul Gems” concert, the audience can expect to hear songs by Martha Reeves, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Supremes, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Spinners, The O’Jays and more. Southern Arizona musicians will accompany him.

“This will be my third visit to the Chandler Center for the Arts,” Bourne said. “The first time was in the summer of 2012 when I presented the concert ‘Remembering Mr. Cole’—a tribute to Nat King Cole. The last time was two years ago when we presented our Motown tribute.”

Bourne has many programs in his repertoire. In addition to “Motown and Other Soul Gems,” he performs film- and Broadway-themed shows, the music of Burt Bacharach and Lou Rawls, jazz and blues songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook.

“I also have a concert program with the blues and boogie-woogie pianist Arthur Migliazza,” Bourne said.

Bourne explained that he was exposed to music at very young age.

“In my household there was a lot of religious and classical opera music played on the radio as well as the popular music of the day,” Bourne said. “My father introduced me to the piano, and later I tried clarinet, steel guitar and acoustic guitar but chose to concentrate on singing.”

He started performing at grammar school and church events, singing spirituals, barbershop harmonies and, later, doo-wop songs. Throughout high school he was also member of a jazz group.

“After high school, music remained a hobby while I earned a living in restaurant management. In 1968, the opportunity arose to pursue music professionally,” Bourne said. “I performed

in the living room of the Boston Playboy club, high-end restaurants and hotel resorts throughout the Boston, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta areas until 1975, at which time I moved to The Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to record and perform in radio and TV.” While there, he shared the stage with many American acts who toured Europe like The Manhattans, Nina Simone, Dionne Warwick, Ray Charles and others.

“In 2000, I returned to the U.S. to southern Arizona where I continue to share my artistry as a vocalist and visual artist,” Bourne said.

Bourne is referring to his artwork.

“In the mid-’90s, while on a cruise ship where I was the featured performer sailing between Manaus, Brazil and Cape Town, South Africa, I took a watercolor workshop.”

At his show in Chandler, Bourne will sell his new CD, “Upbeat and Sweet,” which features 12 classic rock and pop songs by Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They are reimagined with jazz-infused arrangements.

Joe Bourne performs at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 5, at the Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave. Tickets are free. For more information, call 480-782-2680 or visit chandercenter.org.

Can’t Stop Smokin’ BarB-Q has created a niche in the Valley with its mountain-style concept.

A-1 Golf Carts

By Jan D’Atri

SUN LAKES, AZ

Shrimp burger recipe an award-winning dish I often feature old recipes; ones that would slowly fade away if not for a new generation of home cooks.

So when I heard about C-CAP, the Careers through Culinary Arts Program in Arizona, and when I tasted an awardwinning recipe for shrimp burger sliders with curry aioli and slaw, I had to share it.

Founded in 1990 by educator/ author Richard Grausman, C-CAP is a nonprofit organization that teaches youth about the value of home cooking.

C-CAP works with public schools across the country to prepare underserved high school students for opportunities in the

restaurant and hospitality industries.

So far, C-CAP has awarded $37 million in scholarships and donated $2.8 million worth of supplies and equipment to classrooms. At C-CAP’s Heavy Metal Culinary Competition, chef mentors like Lee Hillson compete every year to encourage student chefs to reach their full potential. Last year’s winner, Hillson, the Phoenician Resort executive sous chef, repeated his championship with his shrimp burger sliders with curry aioli slaw.

Thank you, chef, for doing all of the above with your sensational shrimp burger sliders.
