Night Terrors More Frightening Than Bad Dreams For Parents

By Tracy House Bad dreams or nightmares can cause anyone to have a restless night, but when a child suffers from night terrors, it can be more traumatizing to the caregiver than the child.

“They’re usually more traumatic to everyone around them,” said Lauri Leadley, founder and president of Valley Sleep Center. “A nightmare, you usually wake up and remember. You never remember a night terror.”

Night terrors occur predominantly in children and they do not have any recollection of the night terror.

Sleep terrors can include waking up, agitation, large pupils, sweating and increased blood flow. Often the child will need to use the bathroom.

“The difference between night

terrors and a nightmare, is that night terrors usually occur the first third of the night, during slow wave sleep, and a nightmare will occur during REM, or early morning, usually the second third of your sleep,” said Leadley.

“They usually take place in the first part of the night and sometimes can be combined with sleepwalking.”

Leadley said this is normal for night terrors. She said her three children experienced night terrors when they weren’t on their normal schedule, overtired or didn’t stay with their routine.

“It’s really important that parents keep their children on a routine—they go to bed at the same time, they wake up at the same time. They have their

meals, their exercise and night time is a routine—calming, cool, dark rooms, no iPads, no radios, no TVs.” When a child is going through a night terror, Leadley said, “All you need to do is reassure yourself that it is normal because the child has no idea what is going on, they don’t know. The best thing to do is just comfort them, if they’re walking, get them back to their bed, but usually it’ll go away. It’s not something that’s going to last all night long. It’s not going Lauri Leadley is the founder and president of to help to try to wake them up. Valley Sleep Center.

Pack School Lunches for Less With kids back in school, the cost of packing a school lunch each day can really add up, making your weekly grocery budget skyrocket. But don’t worry, I have a few tips and ideas listed below that will help you save!

1. Buy dry goods at discount stores.

Stores such as Big Lots and Dollar General have a huge selection of dry goods such as crackers, cookies, snack mixes, granola bars and other items for a fraction of the price of traditional grocers. Stock up on these dry snack items at such discount stores and save.

2. Get wild about wraps. Tortilla wraps are only about $1 a package, and you can wrap just about anything in them. Use them to wrap up meat and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, or sliced vegetables and ranch. They are fun to make and even more fun to eat. photo page

monthly meeting

3. Use reusable containers. Don’t waste money on disposable sandwich bags and containers.

Instead, buy some reusable plastic containers at your local discount store. You will love being able to use these each day instead of having to buy more disposable items each week. You can even use reusable napkins.

4. Opt for nonmeat options. Meat can be pricey, so try to pack a nonmeat lunch one day a week. This can be hard boiled eggs, fruit salad, peanut butter wraps, or any other high protein treat.

5. Utilize a thermos. A thermos is great because your child can enjoy a hot lunch for less. You can pack a can of soup, spaghetti, stews or other hot lunch items for less. Don’t forget the spoon!

6. Forget the juice boxes. Juice boxes are quite pricey. Instead, mix your own drink mix and send it in a thermos or reusable water bottle.

7. Don’t forget a treat. You can bake your own sweet treats such as cookies and brownies for less than you can buy them at the store. Whip up a batch on Sunday and it will last you all week.

Give some of these tips a try and see how easy it is to pack a lunch your child and your wallet will love! You are sure to come up with options that are tasty and budget friendly.

child’s life. “If there’s something stressful in the child’s life or they’re not getting proper sleep—obviously anything in excess—should be evaluated,” Leadley said.

“Talk to your child’s teacher because that’s one of the things we’ve learned in the sleep community is how is the child doing in school?” Leadley said.

Because sometimes the parent isn’t aware that there may be difficulty in school.

“It’s important to talk to your child’s teacher and see how they’re doing in school.” She explained, “When children get tired they don’t just go to sleep, they get hyper, they get energetic to try to compensate for that tiredness. It important if you’re noticing irritability, difficulty paying attention, moodiness, those are all things that can be symptoms of a sleep disorder.”

Leadley said sleep disorders are hereditary.

“So if you have snoring or sleep apnea in your family, your kids

Miramar

definitely need to be checked.”

If the concerns continue, speak to a pediatrician or a sleep specialist.

Valley Sleep Center—located at 4555 E. Inverness Ave., Building 3, Mesa—opened in 2002. It diagnoses and treats all sleep disorders and has a pediatric sleep disorder specialist.

Valley Sleep Center has boardcertified sleep physicians who meet with patients. The center performs in-lab and at-home sleep studies and offers treatment for sleep disorders. For more information, visit valleysleepcenter.com.

By Laurie Struna, Mesa Public Schools The 2013-14 school year marks the five-year anniversary for family support specialists in many Mesa Public Schools. Parental outreach is a main focus in the Mesa Public Schools District. Because research shows parent involvement helps improve student’s behavior, attendance and achievement. The specialists help the district continue to build strong school-to-home partnerships and increase academic achievement, and serve as liaisons between school personnel, parents and the community.

Jars of Clay Brings New Music to Mesa Arts Center Sept. 24

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Jars of Clay pianist Charlie Lowell said he could breathe a sigh of relief when his band released “Inland,” its new album, on Aug. 27. It marked the beginning of an era for Jars of Clay, one that brings the entire “business” under one roof.

“In many ways, we have restarted,” Lowell said via telephone from a “fun little club” in Charlotte, N.C. “We’re not on a label. We don’t have management. We are living close to the bone and making all of the decisions. Our fans have been patient, kind of hanging in there while we figure this all out.”

Lowell said the endeavor has become a lot of work. The quartet became more “intimately involved” with the business side of things.

“Before it was like, ‘We think you

should talk it over,’” Lowell explained.

“Now it’s like we have to filter through all of the options and decide which one might be helpful. It’s definitely a full-time business and occasionally we get to play some songs. That’s kind of how it feels. There are days I thought I was in a band. But there’s more reward—emotionally and financially.”

Jars of Clay will play more than “some songs” when its tour comes to the Mesa Arts Center on Tuesday, Sept. 24. The band will highlight “Inland,” which was produced by Grammy Award nominee Tucker Martine.

“I think the work early on—maybe the psychological work more than anything—was to get the ghosts and the voices out of the room,” he said about the recording process.

“Over 20 years, we’ve collected a lot of unnecessary voices—What’s radio going to play? What’s radio not going to play? What will fans expect from us? What is too much? What’s not enough? What’s off limits?”

For “Inland,” Jars of Clay wrote close to 20 songs, which touched on a variety of topics.

“We’ve done a lot of things over the years,” Lowell said. “Some of them are more church-centric or Christian world-view oriented. Some of them are just general humanity focused.

“What we learned in looking back was when we come most alive in our music is when we could write out of the middle space, the gray in between when it’s hard to figure out the balance between your work and your family, your relationship to love, faith or doubt. It seems like there’s a lot less knowing than there is knowing.”

collective hands, Jars of Clay is in charge of its own fate.

“We have a brand that is familiar in different circles,” said Lowell, who is a big fan of Feist and Arcade Fire.

“We wanted to take a swing at this independent thing. The down side of the label is somebody who really believes in you signs you, but the rest of the people at the label don’t’ necessarily love the record or get what you’re doing. They’re there doing their job. We’ve been vetting people that love the record and think they can contribute something new to it and take it to another level. That’s been really rewarding.”

Jars of Clay performs at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 24, at Mesa Arts Center’s Piper Repertory Theater, One E. Main St., Mesa. Tickets are $20 to $30. For more information, call (480) 644-6500 or visit www. mesaartscenter.com.

Organ Stop Pizza Organ Stop Pizza in East Mesa is kind of like an attraction at Disneyland.

Diners of all ages watch the Wurlitzer pipe organ—the largest in the nation—with a sense of wonderment.

The instrument’s music brings visitors back to a time of innocence.

The Wurlitzer makes a grand entrance to diners several times throughout the night. It rises from beneath the floor, slowly and turning in circles, until it arrives level to the stage.

The food isn’t half bad, either.

We imbibed on two large pizzas, mozzarella sticks and garlic cheese bread, a quintet that was offered as part of a back-to-school special in August for $29.95.

The pizza was delightful, with thick layers of mozzarella cheese, and a sauce with a slight kick to it. My friend, Trish and I, enjoyed a pie with sausage and pepperoni, while her 9-year-old son, Cody, and my husband, Dave, ate a meat lover’s pizza.

Although it’s known for its pizza, Organ Stop Pizza also offers pasta ($5.99 to $9.29), sandwiches ($5.99), a long, one-trip-only salad bar ($2.99 and $5.99) and an ice cream parlor that my 16- and 18-year-old nieces remember from their childhood.

Appetizers are priced at between $1.99 for the soup of the day to $5.89 for mozzarella sticks.

Creamy Farfalle with Pancetta and Peas

Butterflies and Bowties pasta vixen

Last weekend I made farfalle with pancetta and cream and, while we were eating, Dr. Love said, “Bow tie pasta is one of my favorites.” I tell him they are not really bow ties, they are called farfalle, which means butterflies in Italian.

He doesn’t miss a beat and says, “That must be why I like them! You still give me While Americans refer to this as “bow tie” pasta, butterflies after 20 years of “farfalle” means butterfly in Italian. Bow ties were not marriage.” Very charming, invented until 100 years after this pasta was created. but I think it was indigestion. and patiently waits for his return.

When he calls her it, but don’t blame me if you shed tears his “little butterfly,” she reminds him in your pasta. fearfully, “They say across the seas Most operas end so tragically, but I that if a butterfly falls into a man’s promise this pasta dish will not, and hands, he will pierce its heart with a whoever alights at your dinner table needle, mount it in a glass case and when you make it will stand up, flap leave it to perish.” their beautiful wings and proclaim, Poor girl should have followed her “Bravo!” So put on some Puccini, instincts.

2 shallots, diced 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 cup pancetta, diced 1 1/2 cup heavy cream. (I know it’s rich but just skip the Oreos tonight) Salt and pepper 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 1 cup frozen sweet peas 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese 1 pound of farfalle pasta

Directions Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until golden and crispy, remove from pan and set aside. Add shallots and garlic to same pan and saute for a couple minutes

or until tender. Add cream and cook for 2-3 minutes until luscious.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cooked pancetta, parsley and peas and toss gently to combine.

Sprinkle cheese over top and stir to melt and combine. Cook until heated through.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add the reserved pasta water and drained farfalle to skillet.

Toss to combine pasta with sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve, garnished with extra cheese and parsley. Tears, optional.

Pasta Tip: Always save a little pasta water to stir into your pasta sauce.

It’s starchy and salty and works to bring the sauce together and make it silky.

Asiana Flight 214: A Tragedy and a Miracle Our thoughts and prayers go out to all 307 passengers, crew and their families of Asiana Flight 214.

The National Transportation Safety Board, also known as the NTSB, is conducting an investigation and therefore no official cause has been released.

As an aviation attorney, I have reviewed the amateur videos, animations, transcripts of survivors, witnesses and numerous articles.

Let’s break down what probably happened.

Preparing Your Home for a Smooth Home Inspection comm. spotlight

law talk

hearsay

Did you know that the majority of buyers in today’s market will have a professional home inspection conducted on the property that they make an offer on? In fact, it is written in the Arizona residential purchase contract that buyers are entitled to a 10-calendar-day, due diligence period in which to have a property thoroughly inspected to make sure they are comfortable proceeding with the purchase of the property.

This process can be somewhat intimidating to a seller and the results of a home inspection can have a major impact on a buyer’s comfort level in proceeding with the sale of a home.

What can you as a homeowner do to help ensure that the inspection period goes as smoothly as possible and your home is ready to sell in today’s market? You can have a prehome inspection conducted on your home before placing it on the market. This gives you, the seller, the opportunity to remedy and repair any items in your home that are found to not be functioning properly prior to marketing your home. This allows sellers to feel confident that the classifieds

condition of their home will validate and support the purchase price and reassure a buyer they are getting a home that is well maintained and will not be in need of major repairs.

As the seller, you then have the option to allow the buyer to review the inspection report and view copies of the repair invoices, which in many cases could result in the buyer making the decision to waive having their own home inspection conducted if they were satisfied with the seller’s inspection results.

Many home warranty companies offer complimentary seller coverage on a home while it is listed on the market with a commitment to purchase buyer’s coverage at the time of closing. This will provide seller protection during the listing period for any unexpected repairs and the buyer comfort in knowing they will have home warranty coverage after the sale of the home is complete.

For additional information on how to make the selling process and home inspection period go smoothly, give Diane Pistillo at Coldwell Banker Trails and Paths a call at (602) 4819212.

Diane Pistillo is a licensed Realtor with Coldwell Banker Trails and Paths Premier Properties with 18 Years of experience. Always going above and beyond! Contact Diane today for your complimentary home evaluation at 602-481-9212 or by email dpistillo@hotmail.com
